The Oculus Rift will be the first gaming headset, instead of the normal game audio headset those who enjoy video games will now be able to put on a virtual reality headset. This headset allows for those playing video games to be essentially in the game as moving your head in real life moves the game camera within the engine. Today is was announced at E3 2015 that this virtual reality headset will be making its way to the market in early 2016.
This came as a shock to so many people as it was believed that the Oculus Rift was still in its early stages of development but just as always the team behind this headset has surprised everyone with its announcement date. Though the specific day has yet to be revealed it's amazing to know that the first steps into virtual reality will be within the consumers hand in the next eight months. As of right now it is confirmed that the Xbox One will support the Oculus Rift but it's not confirmed in the Playstation 4 will support the Oculus Rift. The reasoning for this is because Sony is creating their own headset which will be compatible with all games on their console.
Unfortunately there hasn't be any word as to how much this device will cost the consumer or what the foreseeable bad side effects of having television screens so close to the eye may be. We shall inform all of our viewers of those side effects and the cost of this device once it becomes apparent.

Last week brought renewed focus to three areas of concern that I've been writing about for some time: populism, protectionism and pressure on debtors. It appears that we may be moving closer to certain outcomes that could be of concern to markets.
On March 4, Italian citizens will vote in the country's parliamentary elections. With polls showing there are still many undecided voters, there is much uncertainty surrounding the election. It seems likely that the Five Star Movement – a relatively new party focused on environmental, anti-immigration and Euroskeptic issues – could garner the most votes of any party, although not enough to govern without a coalition. However, the Five Star Movement, which is seen as populist in nature, has in the past ruled out forming coalitions with other parties, which means that we might see the formation of a different governing coalition involving Silvio Berlusconi's right-wing Forza Italia party and the very-right-wing, populist Lega Nord party. In other words, the most likely outcomes could result in an anti-European Union (EU), populist movement in Italy's leadership – a significant departure from the past several years in which Italy was governed by a center-left coalition that was largely supportive of the EU. This situation is further complicated by the reported involvement of "bots" – automated social media accounts such as fake Twitter profiles – that are attempting to help populists win the Italian elections.1 This is particularly troubling given that the U.S. Senate warned last month that Italy is a potential target for Russian election manipulation.
What's so worrisome about a populist regime in power? While it's unlikely that we will see an "Italexit," it is likely that such leadership will make it more difficult for the EU to become more politically and fiscally aligned – which is part of French president Emmanuel Macron's vision for reforming and improving the EU. In addition, populism could result in efforts to erect protectionist barriers. Which brings us to our next topic.
Last month, we saw the U.S. impose tariffs on two imports from China – washing machines and solar panels. The move seemed small in scope, but at the time I worried that it could result in retaliatory actions on the part of trading partners, given that tariffs tend to beget more tariffs. But despite strong words, there was no retaliation, at least not yet. Then, last week, America's protectionist stance gained momentum as the U.S. Commerce Department recommended significant barriers on steel and aluminum imports to the U.S. This all started back in April, when an investigation was opened under Article 232 to determine whether these imports posed a threat to the country's national security. The report released last week by the Commerce Department concluded that such imports are weakening the country's internal economy, and therefore pose a threat to U.S. national security.
The recommended solution was essentially a cafeteria list of different options, comprising quotas or tariffs or both, which could be waged against all countries or a select group of countries. In other words, President Donald Trump could determine that specific countries should be exempted from the proposed quota, or that only a few countries should have tariffs imposed on their goods. Those tariffs would be determined by the economic or security interests of the United States – a relatively amorphous standard. In making a determination on which countries would be subject to tariffs or quotas, Trump could consider the countries' willingness to work with the U.S. to address issues such as global excess capacity and other challenges facing its aluminum and steel industries. For its part, the Aluminum Association advocated focusing specifically on Chinese overcapacity while "avoiding unintended consequences for U.S. production and jobs."
Not surprisingly, after the release of the Commerce Department's recommendation, China announced that it reserves the right to retaliate if tariffs and/or quotas are imposed. In addition, a number of groups have come out in opposition to such trade barriers, including beverage companies and auto manufacturers. Some Republican lawmakers have also voiced opposition to these protectionist proposals, saying they would jeopardize U.S. manufacturing jobs. It seems likely that input costs would increase if the Commerce Department's recommendations were enacted, which is why stocks of U.S. auto makers fell after the news on February 16.
President Trump has 90 days to review the findings and recommendations and make a decision; we will want to follow the situation closely. As I have mentioned, geopolitical risk rarely impacts capital markets in a material way over the longer term – but protectionism can and typically does. Keep in mind that higher inflation is often a result of protectionism, which means that protectionism might be one of many forces pushing prices higher. And that brings us to pressure.
Last week, stocks made a dramatic recovery, retracing nearly half the loss made in the "flash correction" of the previous week. That correction was brought on by concerns about higher inflation, which could trigger higher interest rates – and indeed the 10-year Treasury yield did rise significantly over the past several weeks. However, while stocks have shrugged off concerns about higher rates – at least for now – we need to remain focused on them. That's because inflationary pressures seem likely to be building, which could result in higher rates that place potential pressure on governments, companies and households.
The Federal Reserve Bank of New York just released data showing that household debt in the U.S. is at an all-time high of $13.15 trillion after five consecutive years of growth.2 In Canada, household debt has risen to 101.15% of gross domestic product (GDP)3, while in Switzerland it is 127.5% of GDP.4 In South Korea, the ratio of household debt to GDP is 93.8%.4 Rising debt is problematic because it impacts economic growth; recent research has shown that a 1 percentage point increase in the household debt-to-GDP ratio is associated with growth that is 0.1 percentage point lower in the long run.5
Keep in mind that debt service is not just about the amount of debt; it's also about the interest rate. Not only are we taking on more debt in many parts of the world, but interest rates are going up in certain regions as well (which can be especially problematic for countries in which mortgages are predominantly variable-rate as opposed to fixed-rate). That means more money needs to be spent servicing that debt – money that could be put toward more productive purposes such as capital investment. Even if rates go up gradually, they can place significant pressure on debtors – an important issue we will have to follow closely.
Key takeaways
For some time, I've written about the "three D's" – disruption, divergence and demographics/debt – which are three macro themes that can impact markets and investors. Now, add to that the "three P's" above. With so many global forces applying pressure to markets, investors are understandably concerned. But it's important to remember the "ABC's" of investing – allocating to a diverse range of investments, being disciplined, and creating a long-term plan.
In particular, I would note:
- We can't ignore the specter of higher inflation. This means considering the potential benefits of inflation-hedging investments, including commodities, real estate investment trusts, gold and inflation-linked bonds.
- While volatility has hit markets around the world, valuations are relatively lower in many markets outside the U.S.
- Alternative investments may react differently than stocks and bonds to market moves.

Kelly continues, "When I started my research into plus size sexuality, I found there were plenty of blogs and a few books on the subject, but no educational videos, either from lack of production support or hesitation about covering the subject matter. I'm so pleased to have jessica and Wicked take this step with me. Wicked is a phenomenal company when it comes to sex education outreach everywhere, and having their support in creating this DVD is extremely humbling." "When I first began Guide to Wicked Sex, I wanted it to be an all-inclusive educational resource for every adult looking to enrich their sex lives," says jessica drake. "The plus sized community deserves better sex education, support, and inspiration, and Kelly Shibari is the perfect person to co-direct and narrate Guide to Wicked Sex: Plus Size to ensure the project's genuine authenticity." Jessica continues, "From the day I met Kelly, I hoped to collaborate with her on this project, and over time I've gotten to know her both as a friend and fellow educator. Her knowledge and creativity, coupled with a desire to share both in order to better the sex lives of an underrepresented and equally important demographic, will take this instructional to a whole new level. As always, I am extremely grateful to Wicked Pictures for their constant support and for allowing me to continue to expand the Guide to Wicked Sex brand, helping women and couples of all kinds enhance their sexuality."

I've lived in Ohio for a more than a few months, but the longing that I feel for the state of Oregon is still as strong as ever. This couldn't be more true after opening my old Portland Community College inbox and seeing a ton of emails; Pacific Northwest sustainability events, PCC campus talks, and Phi Theta Kappa activities. The best message was a sweet "just-reaching-out" email sent from my past mentor and Stress and Human Health course instructor.
After answering these emails at 11: 24 pm last night, I resigned myself to the fact that I might always miss Portland; like a family member you didn't say goodbye to or an unresolved break-up.
I accepted that I needed to Mope a little. My current situation is that I attend college for free in the same state I was born in, but my heart is in a different place altogether. A place with a sh*t ton of rain clouds, cold beaches, cedar trees, food carts, and voodoo donuts. A place I can eat plants, wear flannel, and go brunching to my heart's content.
I moped, but with that moping comes knowing that I left for valid reasons. I left for discounted college tuition and greater family bonding, as most of my blood relatives reside here in Ohio. I also left to distance myself from that "bubbly" feeling one gets when one lives in one place for too long. I needed to (literally) expand my horizons.
I'm a sad little cloud, but my brain reminds me:
"If it's meant to be Lauren, you will be back. Oregon will still be there. Portland will still be there. The donuts will still have jam in them and mini-pretzel rods sticking out of their hearts."
The silver lining? On New Year's Eve (tomorrow) I get on a plane to make a 6-day trip back to Portland.
In that case, I can stop being nostalgic for a little while.

Just Childcare acquires 50th nursery via RDK
18th February 2019
Redwoods Dowling Kerr are delighted to announce the sale of Kiddy Factory Nursery, a purpose built detached modern nursery located in Speke, Liverpool.
Mr & Mrs Evans opened Kiddy Factory nursery in 2006 with a capacity to provide childcare for up to 130 children from birth through to 5-years of age.
The nursery received a great deal of attention from interested parties and the sale was agreed within just 11 weeks.
The successful bidders were Just Childcare Limited, who saw this nursery as the perfect acquisition to add to their ever-expanding group portfolio.
Commenting on the transaction, David Johnson, CEO at Just Childcare said:

Impactful brands aren't successful because of the products they sell…Their success and influence is the result of the beliefs they uphold.
Our beliefs guide us. They help formulate our convictions, our values, our code of ethics. They determine our response in the face of conflict and guide us in how we behave each day. Every human being has a set of beliefs that define what he or she does, and how he or she does it. The causes invested in, the dreams pursued, the value seen in others. Brands are no different, at least they shouldn't be.
Every brand that survives has an identity that delineates it from its competition. And any given brand is only as strong as the beliefs the brand lives by, the code of behaviors instilled in its employees. This collection of values is known as Brand Belief.
Brand Belief … your Why … your North Star … it's your organization's take on the world — its view of what will make the world a little better and how your brand will make it possible. Your belief is at the very core of your brand's purpose, ingrained in your company values, manifested in your staff's behaviors, and guides your marketing approach. Your Brand Belief isn't just about selling something; it is about standing for something bigger. Professing and living by a belief system others want to adopt as their own.
If you don't know what you believe, you can't expect others to believe in you.
Does your brand have a strong belief system? Do your employees know what that belief system is? What values and ideals set your brand apart from the rest of the pack? These questions are critical to brand development. When you clearly distinguish why your brand exists and what your brand stands for, you stand out from the competition. Your brand embodies its belief.
When you know what your business stands for, you're offering your customers more than just a product; you're giving them something to believe in.
Make sure your brand offers up a vision your team and your customers want. It's not about selling something to them; it's about offering them an identity they desire, one they make their own. Your Brand Belief must be something that matters to your customers, something that defines who they want to be.
Your brand is more than a logo or a creed. It is something that penetrates to the heart and soul of your customers. You must give them something worth believing. When your brand becomes an identity your customers desire, you have provided something your customers will adopt.
Clarity around your brand's belief system is paramount to your brand's success. When you know what you believe, your passions pour into your products and customer relationships. Only then will your customers become your advocates, your converts, your apostles.
When people have an encounter with your brand, and something positive happens to them, the brand becomes a part of their identity. They put your brand's sticker on their cars. They tell everyone at work about it. They become peer-to-peer evangelists on social media. They believe in something they didn't know about before or understand before. As their revelation unfolds, they can't help but share it with others. Their new belief runs through them. Your brand has become their brand because your beliefs have become their beliefs.

16-20 black peppercorns
vegetable oil, I use safflower, avocado or coconut
2 organic yellow onion
4 organic tricolor carrots (orange carrots work just fine (buy bulk organic for about .89/pound)
2 red peppers
2 stalks celery
paprika (start with 3T and go from there)
cumin (start with 3T and go from there)
chili powder (2t-1T depending on your heat tolerance and the heat of the chili powder)
black pepper (start with 1t)
coriander (2tsp)
garlic powder (1-3tsp)
ginger powder (2tsp)
1/4c raw cane sugar
#10 can of whole tomatoes (about 109 oz which will cook down as you make the chili, use 2 28oz cans for a half recipe)
salt (start with a sprinkle and go from there (have at least 1/4c available)
Soak the beans and grain separately in water overnight, each in a quart sized container. When you are ready to make the chili, drain and put beans in one pot and drain grain and put in another each with a quarter onion, two bay leaves, 8 black peppercorns and a fair amount of salt and simmer in water as you prepare the chili.
Put your large pot over medium heat with about 2T oil. Dice the remaining 1.5 onion and add to the pot stirring occasionally until onions are translucent. As the onion is cooking, dice the carrot, red peppers and celery adding the carrot as soon as it is cut and then the remaining veggies. Cook veggies until they start to cook through. Add the spices and stir until you get the aroma of spices. You want to toast them, they should start to stick to the bottom of the pot. As this happens add the cane sugar stirring constantly. Add the tomatoes and smash them with the potato masher. The acid from the tomatoes will clean the bottom of the pan of spice residue and that flavor will be in your chili. Simmer for 20-30 minutes checking the beans and grain for doneness. If they are done, add the beans and some or all of the cooking liquid. Do the same with the grain. The liquids will help thicken the chili. Simmer some more until the desired consistency is reached. Taste the chili and adjust seasoning and add some salt if necessary. I find that about 1T of salt is necessary. Enjoy with your favorite toppings!

Entrepreneurs - the collection with information for specialists
Management skill and strong team building abilities
The entrepreneur leads the firm or organization and also demonstrates leadership qualities by selecting managerial staff. Management skill and strong team building abilities are essential leadership attributes for successful entrepreneurs.
Entrepreneurs emerge from the population on demand, and become leaders because they perceive opportunities available and are well-positioned to take advantage of them. An entrepreneur may perceive that they are among the few to recognize or be able to solve a problem.

The UK SCI FI Channel has secured the first run UK pay-TV rights to Knight Rider, the pilot of which features Val Kilmer as the voice of KITT, and Dollhouse as part of its new spring schedule, reports the Guardian .
"We're dedicated to offering our audience the most exciting content available and are thrilled to become the UK home for two such highly anticipated series," said Jon Farrar, the programming director for NBC Universal Global Networks. "Knight Rider and Dollhouse both hail from fine pedigrees. The special effects in both series are genuinely show-stopping."
A few years back, Joss Whedon's Firefly was a massive success for the UK SCI FI Channel, with audiences well up on the network's average. They're probably hoping Dollhouse will pull off a similar trick. They're probably also hoping that the show's recent Stateside increase in viewers will also be replicated here (but the future of the show is still on the knife edge). Knight Rider has already been cancelled in the States.

Dodge will drop Avenger, Grand Caravan as part of Fiat's new 5-year business plan
In order to follow Fiat's new five-year business plan, Dodge is preparing to drop some models from its lineup. As a result, Dodge will end the production of the Avenger in 2014 and it will not build a new model because the Chrysler 200 will address this portion of the market.
Moreover, the production of the Grand Caravan will end in 2016 as the Chrysler Town & Country will address this portion of the market. The next-generation Dodge Dart will arrive in 2016, followed by the Dart SRT few months later.
The Journey / D CUV will debut in 2016, while the D CUV SRT will be introduced in 2017. In 2018, the new subcompact hatch from Dodge will be introduced, followed by a SRT version in early 2017. The next-generation Dodge Challenger will be unveiled in 2018, while by the end of the year the Challenger SRT will arrive. In the same period, Dodge will present the Charger and the Charger SRT versions.Read the entire article Dodge will drop Avenger, Grand Caravan as part of Fiat's new 5-year business plan
Chrysler extends lives of Dodge Avenger, Grand Caravan and Jeep Wrangler
Chrysler Group has extended the lives of the Dodge Avenger, Dodge Grand Caravan and Jeep Wrangler, according to a report by The Detroit News, citing supplier sources. The paper said that Chrysler's product plan entails production of the current Avenger until 2015, an extension of one year; the Grand Caravan until 2017, an extension of 2 years; and the current Wrangler to 2018.
If the report is true, the product extensions might indicate that Chrysler and parent Fiat are trying to save money as they try to struggle with the continuing economic crisis in Europe as well as to prepare for Fiat's planned acquisition of the remaining Chrysler shares it does not own.
The Avenger sedan had been expected to be terminated late this year or in the first quarter of 2014, as Chrysler prepares its Sterling Heights site to build the next generation Chrysler 200 sedan, which will be underpinned by the same platform that underpins the Dodge Dart and Jeep Cherokee.Read the entire article Chrysler extends lives of Dodge Avenger, Grand Caravan and Jeep Wrangler

Dodge reduces pricing of 2011 Grand Caravan to $23,995
Dodge has reduced the price of the 2011 Grand Caravan Express by $1,000 to $23,995, making this minivan the lowest priced in the U.S. This MSRP took effect on March 1. Meanwhile, the MSRP for the 2011 Grand Caravan Mainstreet is reduced $250 to $25,745. The MSRPs of these two models do not include the $835 destination charges.
Fred DePerez, head of Dodge Minivan Marketing, said that it didn't remove features from the 2011 Grand Caravan Express and Mainstreet models that were offered on the 2010 models.
In fact, the 2011 models were added with several safety, performance and efficiency features. He added that by cutting the price, it's equivalent to informing the U.S. market that the company is concerned about their budget as well as their driving performance and safety. From January to February 2011, 18,368 units of the Dodge Grand Caravan were sold, making it the top-selling minivan in the U.S.Read the entire article Dodge reduces pricing of 2011 Grand Caravan to $23,995
Chrysler's Dodge Grand Caravan R/T is set to be displayed at the Chicago Auto Show. Internally, this is referred to as the "man van" since its styling and features are designed to appeal to men. Chrysler has chosen to focus on attracting the men for the minivan segment as the women have shown a strong preference for sport-utility vehicles.
The showrooms are expected to receive the vehicle sometime in the second quarter. In an interview, Ralph Gilles, Chrysler's head designer, said, "It's an experiment." He said that the company wants to know if the minivan can be made to appeal to a guy who used to drive a sports car but needs a minivan.
Chrysler has fitted its entire minivan line with upgraded interiors and a new engine. The man van will feature a black interior with red accent stitching, a performance-tuned suspension and a sound system with nine speakers and a 506-watt amplifier.Read the entire article 2011 Dodge Grand Caravan R/T coming to the 2011 Chicago Auto Show

Regarding the design, the 2011 Dodge Grand Caravan R/T comes with a new "dipped" body-color grille, body-color side moldings and exclusive 17-inch wheel. Moreover, the new car features new premium, lower-rolling resistance tires, a new spoiler and reduced brake caliper and rear bearing.
Also, it is with 12 mm lower than the standard Grand Caravan models. The interior features exclusive perforated black leather seats with red stitching, leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob.

At the rear end we find a new set of "ring of fire" LED taillamps and new Dodge badging.

In a previous blog, we explored the market trends impacting B2B business negotiations and determined there were two main themes from these trends. The first of these being: Procurement - undervaluing suppliers.
The way organisations buy has become more sophisticated, so more companies have introduced professional procurement managers into their negotiations with suppliers. In today's business environment companies must pull every possible lever to improve profits, so getting a price reduction on a product or service is the easiest way to reduce costs. On face value getting cheaper prices seems an appropriate approach, however, we challenge that paradigm.Read More

Not an underground hit, and thankfully so, this week's jam is a wakeup call. Childish Gambino dropped "This is America," a scathing social critique of gun violence and racial prejudice, and it's a music video that I just can't shake. Watch it, and then watch it again—three times.
It's been strange being in Europe during the last handful of major shootings in the U.S. People over here have written off moving to the U.S., many telling me that they, "Don't want to be shot." Is that the legacy we're passing the next generation?

Avoid Wear and Tear Injuries
Most people hear the phrase "wear and tear" and associate the meaning with tangible products such as a car or foot wear. But your body is also susceptible to damage that naturally occurs as a result of use and age. When chiropractors refer to the concept of "wear and tear" as it relates to patients,…READ MORE

One of my ABSOLUTE favorite things to do in Photoshop is to play with lighting effects. Whether that be to make something glow, create a spotlight sort of effect, or set my hands on fire, I'm always so impressed with the many ways Photoshop allows you to alter lighting. Because of the skills I've gathered for bending light to my will, I no longer look at an image I've taken and think, "Oh man, I wish I would have brought some flash equipment with me so there could be light spilling through the archway from behind her." I now just think, "Wouldn't it be simply fantastic to have some magical light coming from behind her? Yes, yes it would ... I think I'll add some." Don't get me wrong it's always going to look better if there was actually some real light falling on your subject from the get-go, but that's not going to stop me from adding a bit of illustrative oomf to my images whenever I see fit!Read More
Make Internet Friends. Now Go Meet Them.
I was invited by the glorious human Valerie Kasinski (pictured above for those of you that skipped over the caption), to a Flickr gathering at her family's cottage in the small town (village?....area?) of Silver Lake, in upstate New York. What is a Flickr gathering you ask? Well friends, it's this odd phenomenon in which you meet a bunch of strangers on Flickr.com and decide that it's a good idea to gather together and take pictures of each other. It is a good idea. It's actually the best idea ever. Period. The End. (Not the end of the blog post, please keep reading.)Read More
Photograph Your Vacation, But Also Be Present
I can't tell you the number of times I've been asked how I take so many wonderful, amazing, perfect pictures on a vacation and yet still seem to be present and enjoy the experience with my own eyes. Just kidding I can tell you... none, no one has ever asked me that. However it is a thing I often struggle with (by "often" I mean whenever I'm on vacation). I'm sure at some point we have all had a conversation that went something like, "Man it's so hard to take lots of photos to document my trip, (for when my brain is old and wrinkly and can't remember all the details), but then I get home and realize I was barely even on the trip because I spent the whole time playing documentarian. I was constantly spying on the world through a view finder or fiddling with settings to get everything looking just right, and I hardly remember what it was actually like to be there."Read More

While trying to figure out how to get ZM to store files in a different directory I deleted the line/row in Options->Storage for the default storage area.
How do I recover from this? Is there a row I need to insert into the database?
I tried to create a new "default" storage area, but in the console the pull-down for selecting the storage area then shows two storage areas named "Default".
Any advice would be appreciated.
I deleted the default storage area, how do I fix it?

Finding Joy in Simplicity
Does your daily routine, diet, and overall lifestyle support your health and wellbeing?
When we don't nourish ourselves with healthy food, restful sleep, regular exercise, a daily spiritual practice such as meditation or journaling, and other mind-body healing habits, we will inevitably feel tired, out of balance, irritable, and sometimes even depressed.
There exists within each of us a natural state of simple and open awareness in which we feel happy, light, and at peace. Finding joy in simplicity.
In contrast, the state of suffering or unhappiness is complicated. Complications take many forms, including an imbalanced lifestyle, toxic relationships, hidden emotional debts, resistance, indecision, addictions, and negative conditioned beliefs.
When our life is overly complicated, we're weighed down by superfluous things at every level. We can begin to let go of the complications that cause us to suffer by cultivating a simple state of awareness.
In this process, tiny steps yield big results, in part because simplicity is nature's default position.
Suffering and the complications that fuel it are unnatural; it wastes energy to maintain complexity.
As you focus on simplifying your life, make sure that your approach to the process is a loving and accepting one. Know that you are now doing all that you can do right now, and that is all anyone can do.
When you stay in the moment, you have all the time in the world and whatever needs to be done will be completed in the exact right time.
For the next few weeks, sit by yourself for at least five minutes each day with the intention to clear away complications.
In the time you set aside for this clearing, determine what area you need to focus on the most and work on that.
It may be one of the complications mentioned above or a different area that is preventing you from experiencing a state of peaceful simplicity.
Start by thinking of the smallest possible action you could take—and then take it. Then choose the next smallest action, and do that. The action can truly be as small as opening your closet drawer to see.
If you enjoy what you're doing in the here and now, you can find serenity in even the most mundane task. If you really give it your attention and do it mindfully.
If your want to take a bigger action why not look at your commitments.
Is your calendar filled with activities and obligations? Are you rushing from one activity to another leaving you with no time to slow down, observe and let things happen?
No matter how worthy you think your commitments are, perhaps it is time to rethink and prioritise them.
Keep the ones that are most important and eliminate the ones that are adding to the hectic pace of your life with little return.
Do you want to create more free time?
If you spend hours each week cleaning house, see if you can do a little less and have more free time.
Eliminating clutter from your home will make it easier to clean. Once you've created more free time, fill it with activities that develop your inner self.
Spend some time alone and spend some with the people you care about most
What aspects of your lifestyle would you like to transform to bring you greater health and happiness?

Posted this on CL & EP awhile back ........... Ohshifuggnoofow is actually one complete word that a person speaks just as something physically bad is about to happen. Those of us whom endeavor the pursuit of speed throughout our lives had probably said it for the first time when we were about eight years old. Having to take a short cut home on your bicycle so you are not late for dinner. That short cut entails a large, damn near impassable drop that no one you know personally has ever made. Yet for some reason the fear of your Mother has made you bulletproof & away you go. It is all a blur at the end as our mind forgives us our stupidity, by blocking out the aftermath. But just before you were about to crash, I mean the moment before your arms buckle from weakness & your face kisses Mother Earth, it is that moment that you say Ohshifuggnoofow. Speak it, think it, scream it in fear as you plunder to your body's breakage. And maybe being eight it is a different word than Ohsifuggnoofow, as your vocabulary has not yet peaked. All the same, the word Ohshifuggnoofow will come out in another form. But come it will! Because you have broken the laws of physics my friend & you will pay dearly. Fifteen years has passed since I had last spoken that word. And now at 45 I hope never to say it again. The cause. Leaning just a tad too much off my sled while doing about 80mph on a trail that I should have been doing less than half that speed on. I leaned too far to the right & pulled to hard on the handle bar while hammering the throttle & the track bit &.................Ohshifuggnoofow! My shoulder clipped a tree & the rest is that blur I spoke of earlier. I do not even remember how I got home. I believe our higher power numbs our senses that way so that we remain bold & seek thrills as we always have. The old "get back on the horse" cliche. Otherwise to remember the whole terrible ordeal might gather us to being the indoor type. I do however remember as I sit here this night coddling a glass of bourbon. Bourbon because I do not take pills for pain. I do remember what the emergency room Dr. said. That being I have a broken shoulder & issues with my back that require further tests........yatayatayata medical mumbo jumbo. "Whatever, ok, jeez, all right Doc". Hell, I didn't even tell him I thought my knee was dislocated.
So, with the impending surgery on my shoulder, who knows what with my back, scads of steroid that will add x2 unwanted pounds to my stature and God knows what else. The question remains, will I ever say that ugly, ill gotten, beastly, scary, malicious, shocking, violent, offensive, rotten, lousy word again?
As long as they keep making big, white knuckling, knee buckling, high horsepower snowmobiles there remains a chance that I will.

I think it was ohgodimdead for me. and some nononono. I had just bought a new dodge ram van, Heading home from a flooring job , I noticed a little snow falling. I raced ahead anyway and keep my speed a little high. If youve ever been in ohio you probably noticed a lot of little dips in places. well as I top a little dip (this was after dark) suddenly the snow was really coming down. The road had several inches of slush on it and I tried to slow down, which threw me into a side spin I was almost home at this point and the country road was lined on both sides by large trees. I knew if I left the road I was done. Instantly my eyes left the world outside the van and I was only noticing the wheel and dash.I was use to ohio winters and was feeling what needed to be done steeringwise. But the van was new to me and loaded with tools. I over corrected and spun 180 degree sideways again. I wasnt watching the road but I could see the headlights flash against the tree whipping by. Again I over steered and fliped 180 degrees and said ohgodimdeadimdead. The van then whipped purfectly straight on the road and I coasted to a very slow speed. I began to laugh at myself because I truly was scared. Luckily the event left no skid marks....

I've just signed up for some night/evening hatha yoga classes at the local community center just around the corner. I would have gone for more classes – the line dance and aerobics sessions were very tempting but they either clashed with my yoga class or was ending soon. BUT I was reassured that there would be a new list of classes ready in a week's time so with any luck, I may just find myself going for aerobics and line dancing too!
That on top of my regular evening walks should help me get rid of the awful postnatal blubber that I've been carrying on me since the delivery.
And oh, in case you're wondering what I'm doing about my diet, heh, of course I'm watching what I put into my mouth but I can't exactly cut back on food since I'm breastfeeding. So snacks and full portions of carbs for dinner are out, fruits and half portions of carbs for dinner are in instead. 🙂
Can't wait to get back into shape like in Switzerland (hey, I was hiking and jogging at least three times a week) again!

2014 has been great first year for us here at Glennmade Confections! We have been truly blessed with many opportunities and getting to know many amazing people as we start our journey.
After we were incorporated on January 8th, we were given a great opportunity from a friend to make our dark chocolate bonbons at Tuck'd Away Bar and Grill in Tuckahoe, NY from February through June. It gave us the chance to test our dark chocolate confections with the public and we received some pretty great feedback. In July we decided to bring our equipment back home to Hoboken, NJ. It was a time to take a step back and rethink our strategy and how to move forward. At that point we teamed up with Miller Creative, a branding and packaging agency in Lakewood, NJ to help us refine our story and rebrand with a new logo and a cutting edge color scheme. We have big plans to work with them on new packaging next year, which will surely catch some eyes.
During the summer we felt that events would be a good way to gain some more exposure. After making favors for our first engagement party client in September we started to network with our friends and started to plan events for October and November.
Doors opened for us in October when we sponsored the Karma Bar at the Rock and Rawhide 2nd Annual Black, White and Red Gala and met the amazing founders, Kylie and Sean-Patrick. All guests including several VIP celebrities tried our Pumpkin Pie bonbons including Skeery Jones, Coco and Joe Gatto and they all loved them. At that event we also met the up and coming and very talented pop artist, Brielle who was also a big fan of our bonbons.
November started out rather busy when we were given the opportunity to sponsor Brielle's "Avalanche" Music Video Premiere private event and continued to make connections with "glam" cupcakensta, Kay Martin of Cupcake Kay's and celebrity blogger, Madonna Williams of GlamSenseDivas to name a few. Our good friends Frank, Adam and Rich at NoMa Comedy have been great supporters since day one. We had sponsored a comedy contest with them in the beginning of November and provided some bonbons for their guests and the feedback was outstanding. Days later, we teamed up with Broken Bow Brewery in Tuckahoe, NY to do a chocolate and stout pairing event to celebrate International Stout Day. A week later we sponsored the Masonic Charity Corporation in Putnam County for their 68th Masonic Charity Ball. We have been supporting them for the past few years and it was great to continue supporting their great work. The week after we had the opportunity to sell our bonbons at Mount Saint Michael Academy in the Bronx for The Bronx Wanderers Concert and were able to gain some more support and customers through that event.
We jumped right into the holiday spirit at the beginning of December by making our Peppermint bonbons for Rock and Rawhide's Cocoa with Coco event where people were able to take holiday pictures with Santa and Coco. We felt the love and the great karma coming back to us when we received a good amount of holiday orders pouring in through our new friends and supporters and right before Christmas arrived we had an opportunity to support Bronx charity, Spoiled Brats Give Back with their 3rd Annual Christmas Toy Drive.
In developing our business this year, we moved our website from the Shopify platform to the Squarespace platform and redesigned our website and added a ton of content from our events, press and various photos of our dark chocolate bonbons.
This year we were able to create 13 unique dark chocolate bonbon flavors! We even had the chance to create a little teaser video on how we meticulously craft our most popular Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter and Jelly bonbons. You must check it out here!
The outlook for 2015 is very bright for us. We have a lot in store including starting up our monthly newsletter in January, and blogging regularly in our brand new blog, Beyond the Bonbons. We are even planning a pretty big Kickstarter campaign to help us raise funds to create luxurious high-end boxes in various sizes, test and implement an efficient shipping process and packaging, continue to create new, flavorful, unique bonbons flavors and depending on the support and exposure we receive throughout the year, we may even look for a retail/manufacturing location.
We want to thank all of our family, friends, customers and all those who have supported us throughout 2014 and we look forward to sharing our successes with all of you in 2015! If you didn't see, we made a generous holiday donation to Share Our Strength's No Kid Hungry Campaign to support childhood hunger and look forward to supporting them more in the upcoming year!

Are you charitably inclined? If so, you may want to give thanks to the IRS for combining various contribution-guidance revenue procedures dating back to 1981 into a single procedure (Revenue Procedure 2018-32) that is effective as of May 16, 2018.
How up-to-date are you on charitable contribution rules?
Contributions to or for the use of an organization described as eligible for charitable contributions in internal revenue code section 170(c), may be deductible, with certain limitations, by contributors for federal income tax purposes.
Is it the responsibility of or to ensure that the organization satisfies the qualification requirements of internal revenue code section 170(c)?
True or false: A contributor may rely on the continued validity of a determination letter or ruling concluding that an entity is a qualified charitable organization until the IRS makes a public announcement of the entity's change in status.
Before 2011, the IRS maintained the eligible organization list in Publication 78. In 2011, the IRS discontinued the paper version of Publication 78 and began maintaining the eligible organization list solely in an electronic database.
The electronic database was called Select Check and consisted of three searchable databases on the IRS website that contained information about tax-exempt organizations.
The first database listed organizations that "are eligible to receive tax-deductible charitable contributions (Pub. 78 data)."
The second database listed organizations that have had their tax-exempt status revoked for failure to file a required annual return or notice for three consecutive years.
The third database contained the information reported in notices (Forms 990-N) filed by organizations that are not required to file a Form 990 or Form 990-EZ return due to their size.
In May 2018, the IRS changed the name of Select Check to Tax Exempt Organization Search. Tax Exempt Organization Search includes the three databases listed above as well as two additional searchable databases.
The first new database includes images of Form 990 series annual returns filed by tax-exempt organizations on or after January 1, 2018, to the extent that these annual returns are available to the public.
The second new database includes images of favorable determination letters issued by the IRS to organizations to recognize the organization's tax-exempt status. The searchable determination letters include favorable determination letters issued on or after January 1, 2014.
True or False: Tax Exempt Organization Search allows customers to search interactively across all five databases.
Note: Taxing Lessons provides a summarized version of sometimes lengthy tax publications. The full publication may include facts and issues not presented here. Please use the link provided in the post to read the entire publication.
This information should not be considered legal, investment, or tax advice. Taxing Lessons and Top Drawer Ink Corp. do not provide legal, investment, or tax advice. Always consult your legal, investment, and/or tax advisor regarding your personal situation.
It is the responsibility of an organization receiving contributions to ensure that its character, purposes, activities, and method of operation satisfy the qualification requirements of internal revenue code section 170(c) at the time of the contribution in order for grantors and contributors to have the assurance that their contributions will be deductible when made.
Under section 1.170A-9(f)(5)(ii) of the regulations, a grantor or contributor may rely on the continued validity of a determination letter or ruling concluding that an entity is described in internal revenue code section 170(b)(1)(A)(vi) until the IRS makes a public announcement of the entity's change in status.
However, the grantor or contributor may not rely on a determination letter or ruling if the grantor or contributor was responsible for, or aware of, the act or failure to act that resulted in the loss of classification or knew that the loss was imminent.

Williams v. Williams, 2013 UT App 111 Utah Court of Appeals May 2, 2013
Parties divorced and Jeri (Ex-wife) requested that Clark (ex-husband) not contact her, but to direct communications to her attorney. Clark continued to contact her.
Jeri moved and redacted her address from court filings, Clark searched for and found her new home and sent her a text message with a picture of it. He was contacted by the police and agreed not to contact Jeri. In the next three months, he sent at least 16 emails to Jeri. He sent her an envelope with two photographs of a nude woman. Finding that he had been blocked from calling Jeri, Clark contacted the cellular phone company, impersonated Jeri, had the block removed and then called her several times. Clark then went to Jeris' home to confront her. When questioned at trial about these incidents, Clark responded, "I wanted to leave no doubt in her mind how I felt." The trial court entered the stalking injunction. Clark Appealed.
Clark argued that his conduct should not have caused more than mere anxiety or annoyance and it was not outrageous or intolerable. The Court disagreed. The Court noted that the requirement for outrageous conduct was removed in current version of the statute, however even if outrageous conduct was required, Clark's actions are sufficient for the entry of a stalking injunction. Particularly disturbing are his efforts to find her when she concealed her address and to unblock his cell phone calls. Affirmed.

A man was rushed to hospital after he was shot in a housing estate in Northern Ireland on Friday evening.
The attack occurred shortly after 6:00pm on Friday at the rear of a row of shops in Central Drive in Londonderry's Creggan estate.
Police described the incident as "vicious" and "sickening".
Detective Inspector Michael Winters described the condition of the man as "serious" and stated that he has been left with a "potentially life changing injury".
"A 35 year old man was admitted to hospital with a gunshot wound to his lower leg after he was reported to have been shot shortly after 6pm to the rear of shops in the area of Central Drive," said D.I. Winters.
"It was reported that three masked men were involved in what was a vicious and sickening attack which has left this man with a serious and potentially life changing injury.
"There is absolutely no justification for this attack we must all work together to bring those responsible to justice and to stop this from happening to anyone else. The people behind this attack should be seen for what they are, hypocritical thugs trying to exert coercive control over communities by creating a climate of fear."
D.I. Winters added: "If you saw anything or know anything about this incident which could assist us with our investigation I would ask that you contact detectives in Strand Road on 101 quoting reference 1110 08/02/19.
"Alternatively, information can also be provided to the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 which is 100% anonymous and gives people the power to speak up and stop crime."

One off 70's racer
From Core 77: What comes after Modular Car and Soap Box Racer? Guess they never asked you this back in school but Marijn van der Poll has got the answer: the 'CM426 merlin' (click DRIVE) The car is inspired by the Canadian American Challenge Cup racers of the early seventies. Half car, half sculpture, the CM426 merlin brings together high-tech laser cutting and old fashioned craftsmanship. According to Marijn, "It's hard to compare the design and building of a car to my other design work", which is exactly why we love his work! We spotted Marijn's monster car and more niche vehicles making their debut at the Dutch Design Week galleries

What a great place that the Keuning family has been supporting for many years! I had the opportunity several years ago to visit Casa Hogar Los Angelitos with Dan and Lisl, and a handful of other friends, to see first hand the fantastic work that is being done in Manzanillo Mexico.
A place where the founder and the staff have been pouring their lives out for many years to incrementally change the culture of poverty and disparity.
A paragraph from their website says it best....
At Casa Hogar Los Angelitos children are given a safe place to live that offers them an opportunity to feel love and compassion, and change the cycle of poverty through education and self-improvement. The belief that while providing basic needs are important, it is necessary to help develop the whole child guides the program at Casa Hogar Los Angelitos. Through education, arts, sports faith and other programs, to truly break the cycle of poverty and ensure that children are given the opportunity to change their lives and become productive members of society, we invest in the whole child.
Thank you Keunings for giving to such a great cause, and thank you for letting Sherpa help you through your latest real estate transaction. You guys rock!

There's help available for the lost generation - those Vietnam War vets who were treated with disdain when they returned home.
Several months ago, Jacksonville's first Vietnam Veterans of America chapter was chartered. It meets at 7 p.m. the first Wednesday of each month at American Legion Post 88 at 3662 Spring Park Road. Chapter 1046, which is open to Vietnam vets from across Jacksonville, is part of a national association that has 630 chapters.
The national organization has adopted the motto that "Never again will one generation of veterans abandon another."
Local chapter president Mike Montgomery of Neptune Beach said members want to promote a range of issues important to the Vietnam vet.
"We want to educate them on programs available to them, including Agent Orange awareness, post-traumatic stress syndrome and VA hospital benefits," Montgomery said. "We're trying to create a positive perception of the Vietnam veterans."
At meetings, they discuss issues of their choosing and listen to speakers on Vietnam vet issues, Montgomery said.
He said there are enough veterans in Jacksonville to eventually support four chapters. For more information, email email@example.com or call 904-419-8821.
Here's more good news:
- Picture this - 400 mostly yellow duckies racing in a lazy river swimming pool. That was the scene this month when Kappa Sigma Fraternity at the University of North Florida hosted its second annual Rubber Ducky Race fundraiser. The event raised $2,502 for the Fisher House Foundation, which provides a home for families of patients receiving medical care at major military and VA medical centers, said Joanna Norris, UNF's associate director for public relations.
The ducks, which were purchased for a small donation, were raced at the Osprey Fountains dormitory pool. UNF's Xi Psi Chapter went over its $2,400 goal, Norris said. Ob Bera is the chapter president.
- Mandarin Rotary Club members learned that "you don't have to use dirty words to be funny," said Max Zahn, the club's past president. More than 250 people turned out for a recent fundraiser at The Comedy Zone at the Ramada Inn Mandarin.
"We all got to laugh at the cleanest comedian in America - Henry Cho," Zahn said.
Members also raised almost $23,000 for the Mandarin Food Bank and other Mandarin Rotary charities with comedy club owner Fred Pozin giving all proceeds to Rotary, Zahn said.
Member Ray Wolford pre- sided over a live auction with Rotary president Mark Mouro outbidding everyone on a scooter donated by John and Bon- nie King of Beach Boulevard Automotive.
- John E. Ford K-8 students got to study plant life and learn gardening skills thanks to a Lowe's Toolbox for Education Grant for $3,430.
To help students with the grant, volunteers and business partners from Jacksonville Naval Air Station helped prepare planters. Students and their families then spent March 19 planting gardens, including one for butterflies at the Cleve- land Street school.
- U.S. Rep. Ander Crenshaw, R-Fla., recently received a "Friend of the Coast" award from the American Shore and Beach Preservation Association. The award recognizes his commitment to protecting North Florida's coastline.
Harry Simmons, the association's president, said in a news release that it recognizes Crenshaw's support of beach renourishment funding and that Duval County has one of the "best restored beaches." Crenshaw said in the release that "Recognition by a group with such a strong record of advocacy for our shorelines is a great honor ..."
Two years ago, Crenshaw said he joined Northeast Florida officials, the Army Corps of Engineers and the association in naming the Duval County Shore Protection Project as one of the nation's top seven.

"He smiles a lot and then not. / Hauteur is the new hot."
To the library I went yesterday, or maybe the day before, to find a book, naturally, but right next to the one I was looking for was a row of books by Frederick Seidel, including Nice Weather (2012).How not to love a poet who has poems called "Cunnilingus," "The Terrible Earthquake in Haiti," and "Sweet Day, So Cool, So Calm, So Bright." Oh, and "Do Not Resuscitate" and "Rainy Day Kaboom." Appropriately, he has "Silvio" in a poem. In "Arnaut Daniel," pell mell: "Love cracks my sternum open / In order to operate... / A Caucasian male nine hundred yeard old / Is singing to an unattainable lady, fair beyond compare, / Far above his pay grade, in front of Barzini's on Broadway, /In Provençal...".
I keep turning to the author photograph on the jacket flap: the most incredible suit, dark, with a waistcoat. If I have ever seen such a beautifully tailored suit before it was lost on me. Try to be someone on whom nothing is lost. I try to read the titles on the spines of the books on the shelves in the background.
"He smiles at the photographer but not/ the camera. He thinks cold is the look that's hot."
