I understand that you like to keep to yourself. And you'd rather do meaningful work on your Pinterest page, edit photos, or check and edit your Facebook profile every 6.2 minutes, in attempt to look more marketable, more successful, more fun, more funny.
But marketable for who? For what exactly? You're not really gettin' out there and connecting, you're just shyly observing (Ehem, creepin on Facebook. Look. I'm guilty too!). But I'm proud of you. You're still here reading this post. So that says something...
Furthermore, I wanna help you get out there and connect. You're amazing. Really. And someone new in 2013 should discover that.
The truth is you probably have friends or at least one, the same friend(s) you've had for more than half your life. So you haven't had to put forth a lot of effort in developing new friendships, unless they somehow fell in your lap through work or a mutual friend.
It's like you've been in a long term marriage relationship with your current friend(s) and you've let yourself go.
Has anyone told you your strengths? Your weaknesses as a friend? Are those people still your friends? Remember, our circle of friends says a lot about who we are. We don't need to always be surrounded by "Yes Men", we need people in our lives that won't be afraid to tell us the truth, even in hard circumstances.
But when you have a solid circle of friends, your life is rich, full of laughter and tears (sometimes at the same time), and a well-rounded perspective when it comes to the beauty of simply livin'.
Here's a refresher course in How to Make Friends (And Keep Them):
1. Smile.
No it's not a sign of weakness. But it is the difference between someone approaching you and/or possibly clutching their purse.
2. Them Not You.
Ask someone about their life. What was the highlight of their past week? The lowlight? Before you say a word about yourself, you should know at least 3 new solid facts about the person standing in front of you.
3. Relax.
Don't take yourself too seriously. Allow yourself to flub your words a bit or embarrass yourself. Give yourself permission to be the full expression of who you are.
4. Effort.
While doing the things you love (ie: Snowboarding, knitting, dancing, fantasy football, etc.), be sure to connect with the community of that particular activity. That involves you taking the first step. Introduce yourself to a new person and be intentional about remembering their name for the future.
5. Not Just Birthdays.
You don't just have to wait until it's your friends birthday to do something genuinely nice for them or to get them a gift. Trust me, gifts given without a selfish agenda will win a special place in people's heart forever.
*Oh, and here's a freebie: Stay Drama Free. If drama seems to follow you wherever you go, don't look at everyone else, it may be time to look at yourself.
Wisdom's Knocking:
"Associate yourself with people of good quality, for it is better to be alone than in bad company."

The Roommate's Baby by Penny Wylder
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
3.5 Cranky Stars
Rina Smith has accomplished every goal she's made for herself except one. She wants a baby. Raised by a single mom she doesn't see a problem raising the baby herself.
There's only one female that Cannon trusts and that's Rina. They've been friends since college and now they're roommates. He wouldn't have it any other way.
They're both firm believers of NSA, No Strings Attached, and one night stands is how they keep it.
One favor granted...
Two hearts collide...
This book was sweet and super sexy. While I saw the ending coming I still found myself enjoying the story. At times it did feel like a little too much was happening at once but the characters are great and likeable.

Rude On Western Open/
Jeff Rude on the proposed disaster known as the Western Open moving to September:
Cog Hill owner Frank Jemsek has given his course to the Tour annually for no charge — that's right, no site fee — and this is what he gets? A sharp stick in the eye? Right after he meets with architect Rees Jones with the idea of face-lifting the course?Doesn't seem quite fair.
Well, that's what you get for hiring Rees. Oh wait, you meant, oh I gotcha. Sorry. My bad.
You want to rotate the Western around to four courses, then let's do it in Chicago. Knock on the doors of Medinah, Olympia Fields, Butler National and others. Get three courses to rotate with Cog Hill. If those clubs don't step up, keep going down the wealthy list.
I challenge the Tour and the membership of those clubs to step up and keep a Tour event in Chicago every year. I'm looking for someone with soul.
Jeff, you meant, $oul.

In many ways, thanks is a lot like love. We say we love chocolate and coffee -- a color, fishing, books, and our significant other. When we talk about food or friends, shoes or our grandmothers, we talk of "love" and it comes out sounding just the same. Sometimes we even say we love things just to be polite or to get something in return – those looking for the former are notoriously guilty of this. In the English language, we don't really differentiate -- we just love. And it's a curious thing to figure, much like thanks.
Which we give often -- thanks for nothing, for sharing, for sending, thanks for listening. Thanks for dinner. Mindless turns of phrase however fine and culturally useful. And yet, I live under the belief that words mean something – hurting more than sticks and stones and sticking longer and harder than zap-a-gap accidentally dripped on your index finger. Words scar, and words sculpt our ideas and understanding of the world. This, is no light matter.
And so when I say thank you, for reading, for commenting, for your thoughts….I mean it with all sincerity. Thank you.
But intrinsically, I am not a thankful-hearted person. More easily can I say I'm appreciative and grateful, yet these all leave feelings of indebtedness. Which might really be the point -- to know what you've received is at cost to someone or something and to appreciate -- yes, to be thankful for -- the gift. To put things in perspective that the world isn't just you and yours. Yet human nature is not inherently thankful, observe that we have to be taught to share and to say please and thank you -- we're selfish little souls. And although I was taught these things well, my constitution is discontent. Not unthankful, mind you, but thankfulness seems tainted with a satisfied complacency, an acceptance of what one has been given is all one will get -- I'm thankful just to be here, for example.
|"Butter Boys" by Eva Zimmerman
But I'm not. I'm not thankful just to be. Anything. It is not greed, but perhaps the disruptive quality of curiosity poking holes in my personality -- my inquiring mind does want to know -- there must be more to it, there has to be. And why? I'm here to do something, to think, to write, and to live with integrity in the definition of words, for they in the end will define me. Words will be spoken of me after death, and will these words be honest with thanks and love? Or rote -- my name filled into blanks in a funeral service template.
Today is Thanksgiving, and today I will put a large turkey in my old gas stove -- more than enough for a small dinner for two, schnups for one dog, and copious leftovers for a week. And today I am thankful -- for words and love – for the love of my family, my dog, and a good man.

It's not always the case that people may look their age–we have others who sometimes look older than their real age or younger than their age.
Despite this, you are always able to reconcile the age of a person with their appearance or outlook–without any strange difficulty. You mostly may have a little doubt but it does not linger on.
However, the ages of some Ghanaian Celebrities if told can give you sleepless nights: it's either they look too old for their age or extensively too young, making you think there are some lies being peddled.
We've put together for your entertainment 10 Ghanaian Celebrities we've come across people seriously questioning their ages–and perhaps, their own mothers even do the same.

So, I have landed back in the United Kingdom, after my 2 years in Australia! I welcome Justine Spalding, who is taking over from me, keeping you all up to date with the trends Down Under, and I hope to be chatting to you about the trials and tribulations of setting up a home cake business back in the UK!
I have to say, I am raring to go on the cake front! In my part of Sydney, it was difficult for me to set up a home based food business as my council made it practically impossible. So, feeling it necessary to do thing by the book, I concentrated on teaching and not making custom cakes. I love the social interaction that teaching brings, but I have felt that not having cakes to make on a regular basis can affect one's cake mojo! So let's hope that things go smoothly over the next few months and I can get up and running as soon as possible!
It's "all change" for us, actually, as we're moving from our original base in Hampshire to Buckinghamshire. My first port of call for starting up is "Market Research", a valuable exercise, and this always leads me to the many cake pages on Facebook. In doing so, I have been extremely lucky to find a closed group for cake makers in my area, who have welcomed me with open arms. I find this resource refreshing and encouraging; a group of cakies, all with businesses, who meet up regularly, share equipment and pass on business when they can not fulfil the work themselves. Over the years I have witnessed so much tension and negative competition between cake makers in groups on Facebook. This new find is how it should be, and encourage all of you in your areas on the UK to do the same. They provide comfort and reassurance when you are worried about a particular project, helpful advice and even back up if something happens like illness where you are unable to complete orders. Invaluable support.
Looking at the wonderful creations that these ladies are producing, I have registered a couple of changes in UK cake and cake designs since I have been away. Firstly, I am very interested to see the method of ganaching cakes is spreading across the UK Cake market. If you've read my Aussie blogs you'll know that this is standard practice Down Under, and it is creeping in over here. The advantage is the smooth coating it lends itself to, for then covering in sugarpaste, and achieving such a great, smooth finish. Along with the sharp edges which give such a modern feel to a cake (although, as I've said before, I hope we don't lose the soft curves completely!).
Secondly, the level of cupcake decoration has had its ante well and truly "upped"! It seems more and more the swirl of buttercream with a touch of small decoration has been taken over with such intricate designs of fondant topped cakes with stencils, heart moulds, cupids and embossing. All beautiful works of art, I just hope that the amount of work these involve can command the price they deserve. As we all know (if the customers don't) how long these works of art take to create!
But I'm sure I'll get to discussing the hot potato of pricing in a later blog when I address that for my own business!

child abuse, children, family, father, God, healing, hurting, INTELLIGENCE
So how do you go about becoming emotionally intelligent? How do you heal all the parts that hurt and put together all the broken pieces of your soul?
Now that's a toughy, but first things first: identifying what's missing or what hurts. There are some things we do that are a product of our temperament types and to identify them I highly recommend Tim La Haye's book – "Why you act the way you do" (https://timlahaye.com/Home/Product/151). There are other things we do that are a result of our background, belief systems and experiences. To help piece together those that are hurtful or unproductive, asking close friends, family (as Ogee commented in response to my last post) and even some colleagues will point you in the right direction. Before you ask though, be sure you're mentally and emotionally prepared to hear the responses.
Armed with what you've been told, tackle them systematically, starting with the most hurtful especially in relation to those dearest to you. Does your spouse feel rejected because you never learnt how to be intimate? Have you never explained what you believe the problem is because you feared further rejection? Well, if you want to live a fulfilled life you have to trust somebody, sometime and if you do get rejected, at least you tried but then again you just might be surprised. Another thing to consider is you might need to confront or face those who you consider responsible for your pain – a parent you blame for letting you get molested, a bully who made your life hell, a best friend that betrayed you, a spouse that violated your trust? Sometimes it can be therapeutic to look them in the eyes and pour it all out. I do caution however: don't expect remorse. You're lucky if they are truly sorry, but a lot of times they are so wrapped up in themselves or dealing with deep issues themselves that they can't summon up empathy or maybe don't even care. Either way, you have to move on. The important thing is to face your fears, face your memories and stare down those ills that plague you. Know that their actions are not your fault and they get to live with what they've done. Something else that goes without saying, but is really hard to do, is to cut off some people from your life. Anyone that repeatedly hurts you and refuses to get help, should not be allowed to hurt you any more. Get counselling if you can or read some very good, instructive books on how to deal with your specific issues.
I'm a Christian, I'm not really one for self help books because I believe a lot of them are a load of croc, however a number of them, particularly from Christian authors, provide a world of insight and understanding that you would not easily find elsewhere. I've found that the mainstream way of tackling some issues sometimes requires a lot of medication and little to address the soul or spirit and as much as you may have heard this before, God's way of doing things don't always make sense but believe me they always work. For instance, some guru might tell you do: "what ever makes you feel good….you're your own god, you are the master of your universe", etc. Yeah well sniff all the cocaine you want, tell a Hurricane to stop or a Tsunami. Use that mantra to make your girlfriend love you or your boyfriend stop beating the crap out of you. Better yet, undo all the damage that's been done with the wave of a hand………..has it gone yet? Really? Na! You just convinced yourself that it has. That's not the way life works. We aren't a mistaken product of some big bang aeons ago, but rather a well thought out creation by a sovereign God. Yes we determine a lot in our lives, but there are things that happen around us or to us that we can't always control; the key is being emotionally prepared to tackle them.
What does this have to do with anything? Well it usually helps to go to the Source, to figure out how to live. Now don't zone out on me…..just trying to share what I've found to work. And yes I know so many people have abused Christianity and made it unattractive to many, but that happens with anything good.
Most importantly, overcome your issues and grow strong so you can help your children prepare for their future……..for life. Many curve balls will be thrown their way but you can't guide them on how to deal with them, when you yourself never learned.
"Physician heal thyself"

How to Bring Fiance to USA from Philippines
So many of us since the early two thousands, have used the internet as a tool for finding a new love. As the years evolved with electronic communication, we have come to rely on so many ways to keep in contact, daily with our new loved ones, from across the oceans. We have taken step to visit with them personally and spend quality time knowing each other, making memories with pictures and gift giving, but now you want to spend the rest of your life together.
Because of government policy and stringent rules, one cannot simply go to another Country and get married and bring their new bride back home on the plane? With U.S. Immigration rules, you must use the K1 Fiance visa or if you get married you need to use the CR1 Spouse visa.
Over all cost
For some, the overall cost of going through with a K1 Fiancee Visa is astronomical!
The good news is, the fees associated don't come all at the same time.
Want to know if you can afford to go through with bringing your Filipina Fiance(e) to the USA? Overall cost find out More Click ⇒
Because of our years of experience, K1 Visa Couples who hired us, were able to achieve their dreams in spite of financial hurdles a long the way. Government fees always on the rise while cost of living for some continues to soar and income earnings decrease.

Our Fees Remain the Lowest in the Industry!
–Cyber Dating has it's Pros and Cons.
The world has become a much smaller place since the age of internet and dating sites. We can practically go anywhere in the world to chat and find new and interesting friends of any culture. Many have and will continue to find love abroad and will learn all about the pros and cons to cyber dating.
Once a couple has found each other and both have declared their love and intentions for each other, they both now want to get married. The US Immigration allows qualifying Sponsors and Beneficiaries to get married in the USA with a K1 Fiancee Visa within the first 90 days.
In Search of The Best Service?
Make 2018 your BEST YEAR EVER! We have been told time and time year after year that most online services as well as Attorney and Lawyers will keep most of their prospective clients in the dark?
Others have told us that they have found a number of websites that had conflicting information and that the couple had no idea who was right and who was wrong?
At FilAm Immigration, we strive to stay up on top when ever changes come about? Every year, changes take place but many online services are to lazy to maintain their own websites.
Our K1 Fiancee Visa Service Packages are Awesome!

We been told by many happy clients who hired us, that we give them a lot more BANG for their BUCK with the same results as what others could provide? Remember just because a fee is lower doesn't mean the service is not credible!
The United States Embassy, Manila Philippines
is known to be one of the TOUGHEST for approvals.
For the do-it-your-selfer, WATCH OUT! There are 3 major processes that you and your fiancee or spouse must go through from start to finish. Be aware that the government has a number of pit falls which many couples never saw coming! For the do-it-your-selfer, you stand a 100% chance of hitting, if not a few, at least one of the many pit falls. There is a lot of Government Bureaucracy and red tape to easily get ensnared by. All which could result in, added months of waiting or worst! A denial.
You can hire EXPENSIVE Lawyers, or you can choose to hire FilAm Immigration Services, who offers more for your money and GETS RESULTS! Learn More About Our US Embassy Support?
Avoiding the pit-falls with FilAm there.
Providing a well done I-129F Petition for Alien Fiancee is very important right from the start. Many get rejected early in the game which can cost you time and more money with longer waiting and frustration.
Once your petition has been approved, then you'll be wondering what next? The government expects you to know what to do next, so don't set there waiting for them to provide you the answers.
The biggest problem that many do-it-your-selfers run into is they get into a big hurry because they actually do think they know what to do next? Unfortunately almost all of our clients are amazed when I explain to them what is to be done next? They all say to me wow! without your guidance we seriously would have messed this thing up!
Once Your Petition is Approved?
Every couple gets excited when they learned their petition has been approved! This means that the National Visa Center is forwarding your petition to the US Consulate in Manila Philippines.

Our Most Comonly Asked Questions
Under U.S. immigration law, a foreign-citizen fiancée of a U.S. citizen is the beneficiary of an approved I-129F Petition for Alien Fiancée. A beneficiary who has been issued a nonimmigrant K-1 visa for travel to the United States in order to marry his or her U.S. citizen fiancée. During the process the word immigrant is also used for the K1 Visa process but still it is recognized by U.S. immigration as nonimmigrant.
The K-1 fiancée nonimmigrant visa is for the foreign-citizen fiancée of a United States U.S. citizen. The K-1 visa permits the foreign-citizen fiancée to travel to the United States and marry his or her U.S. citizen sponsor within 90 days of arrival. This has been a much faster alternative used apposed to marrying in your foreign fiancees country.
Fiance visas are only for fiances of U.S. citizens, not green card holders. In order to bring your fiance here, you will have to get married first. You will then have to file an immigrant visa petition for your spouse, known as Form I-130, and wait for it to be approved and for a visa to become available. The best alternative would be to naturalize and become a U.S. Citizen, so that you have the K1 Fiancee visa benefits.
As of early 2017 the total filing fees for the K-1 process were $535. for Form I-129F (filed with USCIS), $265. to apply for the K1 visa (paid to the consulate), and $1,225. for Form I-485 and the adjustment of status packet (filed with USCIS), including the biometrics fee.
An immigrant visa is the visa issued to persons wishing to live permanently in the U.S. A nonimmigrant visa is the visa issued to persons with a permanent residence outside the U.S. but who wishes to be in the U.S. on a temporary basis (i.e. Tourism, medical treatment, business, temporary work, or study.
If you are a U.S. citizen you have two ways to bring your foreign spouse (husband or wife) to the United States to live. They are. Immigrant visa for a Spouse of a U.S. Citizen (IR1 or CR1) – An immigrant Petition for Alien Relative, Form I-130 is required. The IR1 Visa is for couples married two years and above where as the CR1 Visa is for couples married less than two years.
Instead of waiting abroad for immigrant visa processing and entering the U.S. as an immigrant, it is possible to go through quicker on a K3 visa (K3 visa for spouse and K4 visa for children) process and enter as nonimmigrant. After arriving in the U.S., separate application for Form I-485, Adjustment of Status. K3 visas are seldom granted for Philippines.
It allows you to notify U.S. Immigration and Citizenship Services (USCIS) that you are engaged to someone from another country, show your intentions to marry, and set in motion the process by which your fiancée will receive the appropriate visa – that is, the K-1 fiance visa. If you have a girl/boy friend who lives in the Philippines and would like to marry them , then this is the correct visa.
What is a K2 visa? The K-2 non-immigrant visa allows the child of a K-1 fiancée visa holder to enter into the U.S. and await the availability of an immigrant visa. This is one of the benefits of the K1 visa- it allows derivative beneficiary. This will allow your Philippines fiancee and her children to also come together.
If you have a wife or husband kids or no kids living in the Philippines and they are all Filipino Citizens and your the American Citizen. The process generally takes from 9 to 12 months, depending on if the married couple has received their certified marriage certificate? There are many key factors as to why it can go more than one year based on birth certificates, passports, police records and medical examinations?
Filing an immigrant Petition for Alien Relative, form I-130 – $535. as of 2017
NVC – Affidavit of Support Processing Fee – $88.00. NVC – Immigrant Visa Application Processing Fee – $230.00.
Medical examination (costs vary from depending on Embassy) Philippines it is $335. then you have the green card after the interview $220. as of 2017
First, your fiancee will enter the US with a fiancee visa. Next the two of you marry. You will need to get married within the 90-days that his or her status lasts. As soon as you get married, your new husband or wife may apply for an adjustment of status to become a permanent resident.
Applicants for K1/K2 visas must, pay a US$265. nonimmigrant visa application fee once the petition has been approved. The application fee for nonimmigrant visas must be paid prior to scheduling a visa interview appointment. All payments must be paid by the beneficiary for the K1 visa application fee, at any Bank of the Philippine Island (BPI) branch.
Most USCIS services centers are currently taking about 5-6 months to approve a fiancée visa petition. Upon approval, USCIS transfers the petition to your consulate via the National Visa Center. Right now this is taking 30-45 days in most cases. For Philippines from 2015, 2016 it had been taking 6 to 8 weeks for the approval of a petition but for 2017 may take up to 3 months for approvals.
That depend on your situation if you are the U.S. Citizen sponsor and have need for litigation due to felonies, domestic violence, or sex crimes, then you may not be qualified to use the I-129F Petition for Alien Fiancee and might stand a better chance to use a spousal visa instead? If you do not have any serious criminal convictions then you "Do Not Need to hire a Lawyer or Immigration Attorney" You may use a FilAm Immigration which is a specialized service that specifically assists couples from the Philippines to the U.S.A.
Philippines does not allow divorce as it is not legal way to dissolve a marriage according to Philippines law? One must undergo an annulment according to the Roman Catholic beliefs which has been known to be very time consuming, costly and often time unpredictable as to when or even if the annulment will ever be finalized? Most annulment process can take between 1 to 2 years and sometimes never get finalized by court rulings. Without any annulment paper work the U.S. Citizen sponsor will not be able to file a petition for alien fiancee?
Though it is very rare, it would be most unlikely that she would be approved to receive a B1/B2 Tourist visa to the U.S.A. The U.S. Embassy is very careful in their screening applicants trying to get the Tourist visa for many reasons. A total of 95% of all applicants are denied due to lack of evidence that they would return back to their Country when it is time? With a 5% success rate we agree that you would be wasting time and money trying to get the tourist visa.
U.S. Immigration law does have a proof of meeting requirement for couples that want to get married using the K1 Fiancee visa that allows your foreign bride to come to the U.S.A. to marry only you within the first 90 days. Some religious customs may prohibit the meeting in person for some couples due to followed teachings of religious countries.
This is a question we get every year? Many American guys want to come stay in the Philippines while they wait for their Filipina fiancee to get her U.S. Embassy Interview and then approved to receive a K1 Fiancee Visa to return to the U.S.A together. It can be done only by those of you who have an income while you are staying in the Philippines and someone back in the U.S.A can get your postal mail for you and send things to you online and in the mail as part of getting prepared for the interview?
Only the foreign fiancee is required to undergo a medical exam and attend the U.S. Embassy Interview in order to receive the K1 Fiancee visa. Sponsors are not required and there are no interviews in the U.S. for them to attend also. If the U.S.Citizen sponsor would like to attend the U.S Embassy Interview with the fiancee in the Philippines then in many cases, it is helpful, but not required.
Occasionally this happens and one must do everything on their end to get a petition filed to bring over the foreign fiancee before little junior decides to come out! The expecting mother will need a certified and notarized letter from the father to show the medical team at St. Luke's clinic that the sponsor knows and accepts the unborn child? Next the mother needs to get her K1 Visa and head to the USA before she is too pregnant as airlines may refuse to let her on because of risk having the baby in mid air? If the child is not born in the U.S.A then they must be registered at the U.S. Consulate to receive a U.S. Passport the whole process may take an additional 3 months and requires DNA samples.
Philippines law does require that all of their younger citizens whether they marry locally or abroad have consent. If he or she is between the age of 18-22 they will be required to have an affidavit of support from the lawyer or attorney signed by one or two parents or legal guardian stating that they have counseled their son or daughter about getting married before hand. Anyone between ages 23-25 are only required to have verbal consent from their parents or legal guardian prior to getting married.
All applicants from age 16 and up regardless if they are applying for the K1 Fiancee visa or a spousal visa will be required in part with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to provide his or hers police records from the country they are a citizen in. The rule also applies to other countries lived in worked in for a period of no less than 6 months. If the foreign fiancee of spouse have other legal names from previous marriages or any other, then they must provide police records in those name also.
USCIS has a K Unit that tracks down multiple filers. If you have had an I-129F Petition approved recently meaning the petition got the "Go Ahead" but your alien fiancee and you had a change of heart, or you brought over your alien fiancee and things did not work out? Or you married but then divorced after a short time? You must wait for a period of two (2) years before you can file again. Or if you have good supporting evidence and documentation that supports a legitimate reason you could not marry or bring the alien fiancee over, then you can file a waiver without waiting for the two (2) years waiting time.
All Filipino Citizens who are desiring to get a specific visa bound to the United States, must attend the U.S. Embassy in Manila and also their medicals must be done at St. Luke's in Manila. The Cebu City U.S. Consulate is only for American Citizens to go for specific benefits and is not used as a visa post. So regardless of where your alien fiancee lives, she will have to go to Manila to attend his or hers medical and interview.
Yes it is required to provide certified divorce decrees from each and every marriage you have had no matter how far back it goes? If USCIS finds all of you marriages and you fail to mention some or fail to provide certified divorce decrees of those, then your I-129F Petition will result in hold up or rejection?
There are many reasons that an alien fiancee needs to have a fair amount of English skills not only for attending a U.S. Embassy Interview but entering into their U.S. Port of entry. Almost all of the government paper work is done in English as well as interviews conducted in English. If she barely communicates in English and the U.S. Citizen Fiance only speaks English, well then the Interviewer will believe that she couldn't possibly be able to have a sincere genuine relationship with him? The only exception would be if it is a U.S. Citizen Filipino who is native to her language.
No you are not required to marry your fiancée once they come to the United States. A fiancée Visa merely gives you permission to marry should you so desire. If you decide not to marry your fiancée the only requirement is that they must leave the United States before the Visa expires. Remember that the U.S. Citizen is the sponsor and you are required and responsible for the beneficiary by paying and sending them back at the appropriate time in order to keep your record clean in case you decide to petition another alien fiancee later on? It is also recommended that the sponsor make photo copies of all immigration paper work including your alien fiancees passport page as away to maintain those records as USCIS will require those in the future.
No, K1 visas are available only to persons who are planning to be married. If the marriage occurs, you will have to file an I-130 Relative Visa petition for your spouse. The one exception to this rule is that if the marriage was religious or social ceremony only, and the marriage wasn't registered with the local government, a K1 visa may be issued.
Border Patrols are always on the look out for the following, false documents, fake ID's, incomplete papers, the visitor does not look like the person in the pictures, transporting illegal items, may have a contagious decease or acting deranged. If they are using a K1 Fiancee visa and questioned about what the U.S. Citizen fiances address is, where do they work, what their phone numbers is and do not know or ask to repeat the questions over and over , then these are all red flags and deportation may be to follow?
The truth is, Couples who have large age differences may face more scrutiny than closer to same age couples? Although Interviewers for many years have been used to seeing wide age differences and accept it, provided the K1 Fiancee applicant can demonstrate that the couple has enough supporting documentation to prove the relationship is genuine and sincere? The only way a couple can do this is with time spent in emailing, sending postal letters, calling on a regular phone and sending each other gifts.
Denials are most certainly going to be announced to the applicant during the interview if the foreign fiancee has been caught lying about past or present things that pertain to either the relationship, employment, travel, addresses, criminality, other visa interviews also denials can be brought on by falsifying documents, falsifying government forms, falsifying police and national records, all which could even lead to prison time and hefty fines. A K1 Fiancee or child during a medical exam could even test positive for TB causing delays and sometimes denials. Admitting of drug use suicide in your past can also get your case denied.
Many foreign fiancees, especially from the Philippines have children born out of wedlock and are required to mention all children old and young on the petition, but are in no way obligated from a U.S. Immigration standpoint to bring their child or children to follow using the K2 Visa. A K2 Child would be considered her biological child from age 21 and under.
If the K1 Couple decides to hire FilAm Immigration Service to assist and guide them through the K1 Visa process, they will first be consulted over the phone about their case and to see if they have any hindering situations that would complicate, or otherwise get their petition rejected? One way or another we will let you know if your case has any positive or negative elements and if any of those could be fixed to better your situation or not? Couples who have no negative elements in their case are the ones we will give a 100% guarantee too?
From a U.S. Immigration standpoint, couples who do not share same religious beliefs do stand a possibility of being denied during a U.S. Embassy Interview? Though it is rare, Interviewers may ask the K1 Applicant if he or she shares the same religious beliefs as their U.S. fiance? Even though there are many Christian faiths, the best answer to give is yes we both are Christians and leave it at that.
According to U.S. Immigration a non related rule rather an adequate, is for the U.S. sponsor to contact the U.S. government agency that has his or her petition at the time of the change of heart? Your petition would start off at USCIS, later go to National Visa Center and essentially to the US Consulate of your alien fiancees country. Contacting them by email or letter requires having all of your correct credentials in order to identify that you really are the sponsor and a short letter explaining why you would like your petition to be terminated? By doing this it will insure you of being able to file for another foreign fiancee later on if so desired?

Y'ALL. I promise I'm not cheap. But in order for me to spend more than a $100 on makeup, or skincare, it's gotta be damn worth it.
No hype, (okay, sort of) but the Rest and Revive Restorative Placenta & Stem Cell Night Serum from MZ Skin is worth all of your hard earned coins. I'm talking down to your last penny.
But, of course before you go all out and break the bank and what not, you should be crystal clear about the skincare concern(s) you want to address before you shell out your hard earned coins. Forget about the pretty packaging and celebrity endorsement, and ask yourself if the product is formulated to address your skin's needs. And speaking of needs, my skin has been all over the place; hyperpigmentation, dry patches, ridiculously oily t-zone, dull – the list goes on and on. I started using the night serum about 3 weeks ago, and I swear on my last bottle of red wine that I saw a significant difference in the way my skin felt, but more importantly, looked.
The Rest and Restorative Placenta & Stem Cell Night Serum, "made for women, by a woman," contains Ovine Placenta, Raspberry Seed Oil, Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid, Shea Butter, and a variety of Peptides that serve to detoxify, strengthen and repair the skins surface while you get your snooze on. And if you think that's something to write home about, wait until you hear about the anti-aging benefits!
The Placenta and Stem Cells work to stimulate collagen production, minimize the appearance of fine line and wrinkles, and restore moisture. Did I mention that it's jam-packed with Plantago Extract, which works overtime to reduce the appearance of hyperpigmentation? And guess what else? Those dry patches I mentioned earlier? Gone. The dullness? Bye Felicia. My skin is visibly plumper, luminous, and – wait for it…EVEN. Clinical studies have shown that the skin is 20% more hydrated after 30 days of consistent use, but I'm telling y'all after a mere 3 weeks of nightly use, my concealer is laid to perfection, and my foundation looks like real skin.
Click here to read more founder of MZ Skin, Dr. Maryam Zamani.
So, after all of that, what kind of price tag are we talking about? It's $320, y'all, but don'r freak out. Keep in mind that serums are more expensive than moisturizers because they have a higher concentration of primary ingredients. I tell you guys all the time that you don't have to break the bank to look and feel your best, but I never said that you shouldn't invest in self-care - especially if something works. Honestly, I could go on and on about how wonderful this product is in all of its paraben, mineral oil, and artificially fragrant-free glory, but I promised myself I wouldn't get carried away writing this review. In the meantime, I'll just keep telling myself that it's quite alright to splurge on a serum that's totally worth it.

"I don't think James would have minded," said Molly, 78. "He had a most extraordinary appetite for sex and was prepared to try anything."
Once, at a meeting of the notorious Thursday Club, the actor told a gathering that included Prince Philip and Larry Adler, the harmonica player, that he didn't see why there was such a fuss about boys being "deflowered" at public schools. He admitted that he had been, at Marlborough, and felt it had done him no harm at all.
Adler asked him if any of the other boys had watched. "Why on earth would they want to do that?" the actor boomed. Adler replied: "So that Justice was not only done, but seen to be done."
Valerine Singleton is feeling a bit Blue
Mandrake seems to see more of old Blue Peter teams on the television these days than when they were actually fronting the programme in their heydays.
Valerie Singleton was herself surprised when she popped up on The Weakest Link over Christmas. "I was in the kitchen and I could hear a lot of questions being asked about Blue Peter," she says. "It was only when I went into the television room that I realised it was me. I think it must have been a repeat as I haven't done any television for a while. Unfortunately I don't get repeat fees." Alas, she missed her former colleague Peter Purves on Eggheads on BBC Two.

The Coach's Chronicles are the trials, tribulations, and triumphs that we all experience each day – we just need to take the time and look for them, experience, and most importantly – learn from them. I share an important 'coaching moment' with you each week to bring about some light of inspiring experiences that I have had the opportunity to live-out.
The Coach's Chronicles: It's a Simple Principle – Choices
The bottom line is that you are the one who is designing your life the way it is. The life you currently live is the results of all your past thoughts, feelings, and actions – all choices. You are in charge of your current thoughts and your present feelings. In other words, you choose and oversee what you say and do.
Every action is your choice and under your control. So, if you're not satisfied with your life's direction, you have a choice to change it. To be more successful, all you must do is act in ways that produce more of what you want. You are the only one that has control over how you respond to life. Your choice – it's that simple.

Getting Rid Of Toxins After The Holiday Season; Its Not As Hard As Imagined
After the holiday feasts and never-ending cooking and eating, enjoying these guilty pleasures gaining extra weight is expected. But this is not the best way to start the new year. As people usually start their new year's resolution and set goals, now is the best time to focus on getting healthier.
The weight gained over the holidays will lead to obesity if not checked and remedied earlier. When too much carbohydrates are taken in the body plus leading a sedentary life will cause problems along the way. One of the risks of obesity is heart disease. Fatspose a big threat and cholesterol will block blood vessels when left unchecked. Here are some ways to be healthier this year.
Water is Life. Drinking water is the best thing to do. Drinking eight to ten glasses of water everyday enables the mucus membranes to kick out the germs away from the body. Aside from that, water therapy is one of the easiest ways of beauty regimen since it will give enough moisture on the skin.
Food Vs Fun. After holiday gatherings, surely there will be more. Now if in case being one of those parties, have time to communicate or mingle more with family or friends rather than befriending death with these sumptuous food. There's no need to worry because the food won't jump off from the table when mingling with people. It's just that, interpersonal communication is really beneficial to lessen the focus on eating, and instead, have fun with one's loved ones!
As this year begins it is important to show how one values relationships and make it stronger as years will go by. To create happy and lasting memories, it is not only important to spend time with love ones but also to keep oneself healthy to enjoy these memories.

It's been a long time since Land Rover has experienced the bragging rights that come with sales success.
For too long, models such as the lackluster Freelander and Discovery hampered sales and contributed to an epic reputation for poor reliability. These days, though, things are looking up as the company's Solihull factory is increasing its 5,000-strong workforce by 275 workers. Those new workers can thank strong Land Rover sales for their jobs.
According to Autocar, March was the best month for sales ever in the 62-year history of Land Rover, with 11,300 new vehicles worldwide finding happy owners.
While congratulations are in order for that bit of news, I can't help but question a perplexing move Land Rover has in store for its upcoming LRX.
With sales as strong as they are, it seems like a perfect opportunity for Land Rover to step up and further cement its place in the auto world as a builder of fully capable and luxurious vehicles that can handle any terrain.
Instead, we hear reports that the brand's new LRX will come in front-wheel-drive.
I'll give you Land Rover lovers a moment to sit down.
Why would the world's foremost off-roading brand stoop to FWD? Two reasons:
- Sales potential in the crossover segment is growing
- Emissions
The kind of efficiency the LRX could offer (130g/km of carbon dioxide emissions, MPG numbers aren't available) would help Land Rover improve its overall fuel efficiency and bring down its CO2 footprint, helping the automaker toward the goal of meeting strict emissions and efficiency standards.
To avoid complete blasphemy, the LRX will come with all-wheel drive, too. In my humble opinion, though, the damage to the brand is done. No longer will Land Rover have the ability to call each of its vehicles the "most capable vehicle on earth." It will sacrifice that claim for the sake of a few sales.
This is tantamount to Aston Martin building a city car (oh, wait…) or Ferrari producing a commercial delivery van (at least that hasn't happened yet).
I know, the auto industry is changing, but there will always be room for Land Rover to operate and be successful in the niche it currently owns. Just look to its March sales numbers for proof.
On the positive side, I don't think the LRX is nearly as ugly as our man jgoods made it out to be. In fact, I really like it. Make the thing a proper 4WD Land Rover, and I might even get excited to visit an LR showroom this Fall.
Is Land Rover making the right decision by producing a FWD LRX?

Dear Neighbors:
Here's a link to the agenda for the April 11, 2018 City Council agenda: https://takomaparkmd.gov/meeting_agendas/wednesday-april-11-2018/. There are several important issues up for consideration this week, and I expect we'll run late. The meeting begins with a Public Hearing on the City budget for Fiscal Year 2019, which starts July 1. Then we'll vote on a contract for the resident survey. That will be followed by a discussion on repeal of the Inventory Tax (which applies to businesses) and a discussion on the Takoma Junction Site Plan.
Public Hearing on FY 2019 Budget. https://documents.takomaparkmd.gov/government/city-council/agendas/2018/council-20180411-1.pdf. Since the proposed budget was only formally presented to the Council last week, I'm still absorbing its contents, as no doubt many residents are, too. I'll be providing detailed information about my views on the budget in the coming weeks. I'm providing here some initial thoughts.
A few words on process first: the City Manager presented her proposed budget to the Council last week. You can see it here: https://takomaparkmd.gov/public-notices/fy19-proposed-budget-posted/. It was also written up in this month's City Newsletter. In addition, staff were available at an Open House on the budget this past weekend in the Community Center. The proposed budget will form the basis for the Council's work on taxes and spending for the coming year. Starting April 16, we'll have special budget sessions three Mondays in a row in addition to our Wednesday meetings. The Monday meetings will feature detailed presentations from the City Departments, plus Council discussions. Our Council meeting on Wednesday, April 25 will include Public Hearings on both the budget and the local property tax.
Residents needn't confine themselves to the hearings in order to weigh in. You can speak in the public comment period about these topics at any of our regular Wednesday meetings. I'll also be looking into setting up other times for Ward One residents to get information about, or offer opinions on, the budget. Folks are also welcome to submit comments to me via email or by calling me or meeting with me in person. The Council will continue working on the proposal in April, and in May we'll begin refining the budget and setting the tax rate through our amendment process, with the final vote tentatively scheduled for May 16.
I'm pleased that in my first two years on the Council we worked successfully to maintain key municipal services and increase support for some new priorities like affordable housing and programs for lower income youth, while holding the line on taxes. For the current year's budget, we cut the tax rate below Constant Yield (the point where the City brings in the same amount of tax revenue as the previous year), though even at Constant Yield, some residents can see modest bumps in their tax bills, depending on the extent to which their property assessments have risen.
For Fiscal Year 2019, I'll be working with my Council colleagues to support some of the newer priorities we've agreed on, and to keep taxes at a reasonable level. Again, I'll be saying more about the proposed budget as the process unfolds. For now, in terms of both spending and the tax rate, it's just a proposal. Nothing has been agreed to, and a vital part of the process will be residents offering their opinions. Please let me know what you think, ideally in April, as the final budget begins to take shape in early May and it can be harder to make changes at that point.
Resident Survey Contract. https://documents.takomaparkmd.gov/government/city-council/agendas/2018/council-20180411-2.pdf. The City periodically surveys residents to gain insight into their views on local issues and governmental priorities. The funds for the survey were included in the budget, and I plan to vote for the contract. I do plan to seek clarification on the process for developing the questions that will be in the survey, as I think Councilmembers should have a role in helping to make sure the questions produce useful data.
Inventory Tax. https://documents.takomaparkmd.gov/government/city-council/agendas/2018/council-20180411-3.pdf. When I first ran for Council in 2015, I heard from small business owners in the City about the unfairness of the Inventory Tax. We impose the highest allowable level of this tax, and it has a disproportionate impact on businesses that sell retail items (as opposed to, say, providing services). To the extent the City wants to be a welcoming place for smaller businesses, I think we should move toward repealing or substantially reducing the tax, and I've been pushing for that goal since I joined the Council.
One of the options that enjoys some support on the Council is repealing the tax and installing a higher commercial property tax rate to make up for the "loss" of a little over $300,000 annually that would result from the repeal. That approach isn't my preference, as the tax hike would still be passed along to businesses. My view is that, if we want to support our local businesses and make the City more attractive for smaller operations, we should repeal or cut back on the inventory tax without seeking to replace all the "lost" revenue exclusively from the business community. Of course this approach would mean absorbing the lost revenue within the overall budget. So, there are no perfect solutions. One alternative I like is exempting a portion of each business's inventory from the tax. That way, the vast majority of businesses would no longer be required to pay the tax, and there would be less of an impact on the overall budget.
Takoma Junction. https://documents.takomaparkmd.gov/government/city-council/agendas/2018/council-20180411-4.pdf
https://documents.takomaparkmd.gov/government/city-council/agendas/2018/council-20180404-takoma-junction-combined-site-plan.pdf. With an updated Site Plan for the Junction development presented last week by NDC, we're now entering a phase of more intensive review. The Council is slated to discuss various aspects of the project during each of our next five Wednesday night Council meetings, with the potential for votes on the site plan in May. As with the budget, this is a complex matter on which I'll be providing more information and commenting in more detail going forward. Meanwhile, here are a few key points:
· With the traffic studies delayed in part because of bad weather, a number of residents have expressed concern about the community and Council possibly not having sufficient time to consider the results of the studies before a final vote. It's crucial that we have a good understanding of potential traffic impacts before any vote on the Site Plan. When the Council passed the resolution last fall laying out our concerns about NDC's Concept Plan and the structure for the traffic studies, we adopted an amendment committing us to ensuring that there's adequate time to review the traffic studies. I voted for that amendment, and from my point of view if there's a need to delay a potential Site Plan vote to allow more time to review study results I would support that.
· My three biggest concerns about last fall's Concept Plan were the third floor (an idea I disagree with, given that the surrounding commercial buildings are generally one and two stories high), the insufficient amount of street level open space, and the jumbled up nature of the area where truck unloading, trash handling, and outdoor restaurant seating were located. I'm pleased that the third floor has been removed from the plan. On the other two points, there has been some improvement, but more work on both is needed in my opinion. I also think the placement of the elevator in the new plan is ill-advised, and I would like to see it moved to the end of the project closer to the Co-op. During last week's Council meeting when I asked the NDC representatives about doing that, they seemed open to the idea. There are other aspects of the project, including the ingress/egress for the underground parking and the functionality of the lay-by, on which more clarification is needed. So I look forward to discussion on all of those points in the coming weeks.
· There will be plenty of opportunities for residents to comment on the proposal before there are any Council votes. As with the budget, there was an Open House this past weekend. In addition, residents will be able to offer their opinions during the comment periods in any of the upcoming Wednesday Council meetings, as well as by email. I'm going to be meeting with residents, one on one and in groups of various sizes, and otherwise making myself available to listen, and to talk about the project. I encourage anyone who has concerns or questions to be in touch with me. I'd like to hear from as many people as possible before we vote.
As always, please be in touch if you have comments about any of these agenda items.

Hybrid Course
Blended learning is a formal education program in which a student learns at least in part through online delivery of content and instruction with some element of student control over time, place, path or pace.[1] While still attending a "brick-and-mortar" school structure, face-to-face classroom methods are combined with computer-mediated activities.[2] Proponents of blending learning cite the opportunity for data collection and customization of instruction and assessment as two major benefits of this approach.[3] Schools with blended learning models may also choose to reallocate resources to boost student achievement outcomes.[4] Terminology[edit] History of the term[edit] The concept of blended learning has been around for a long time, but its terminology was not firmly established until around the beginning of the 21st century.

Microbial Fuel Cells - A Way to Generate Clean Electricity from Water
Lack of electricity in many less developed countries prompted us to perform this project to submit to the Google Science Fair. We created a microbial fuel cell (MFC) using easily accessible and cheap materials. The MFC utilized waste water and lactobacillus to create hydrogen peroxide, which when forced through a proton exchange membrane, created electricity cleanly and cheaply. The proton exchange membrane separated the hydrogen peroxide molecules and allowed only hydrogen ions to pass.
One to one computing
In the context of education, one-to-one computing (sometimes abbreviated as "1:1") refers to academic institutions, such as schools or colleges, issuing each enrolled student an electronic device in order to access the Internet, digital course materials and digital textbooks. The concept has been actively explored and sporadically implemented since the late 1990s.[1] One-to-one computing is frequently contrasted with a policy of "bring your own device" (BYOD), which encourages or requires students to use their own laptops, smartphones or other electronic devices in class. One-to-one computing offers the benefits of equal access, standardization, easy upgrades, simple networking and the ability to monitor student progress and online behavior. For these reasons, one-to-one computing is a major part of education policy in many countries. However, one-to-one requires substantial institutional investment.

A Better List Of Ideas For Project-Based Learning
A Better List Of Ideas For Project-Based Learning At TeachThought, we're huge fans of project-based learning. While there is no magic bullet of practice, program, or framework that automatically produces progressive and effective learning, what makes project-based learning exceptional is its flexibility. As it is, first and foremost, simply a curriculum planning tool, so much other "good stuff" that can support learning (game-based learning, learning simulations, place-based education, self-directed learning, etc.) can all be "embedded" in project-based learning.
Arachnosaurus - LabVIEW for Lego MINDSTORMS Projects
Introduction to the Arachnosaurus project This project is designed to show you how to create linkages and walking mechanisms. The Arachnosaurus is based on Jansen linkage. Theo Jansen came up with these innovative "walking linkages" to allow his kinetic sculptures to come to life. You will also learn how to create while loops, case structures, and motor and touch sensor controls. Linkages are used to convert one type of motion into another.
Self-paced instruction
Self-paced instruction is any kind of instruction that proceeds based on learner response. The content itself can be curriculum, corporate training, technical tutorials, or any other subject that does not require the immediate response of an instructor. Self-paced instruction is constructed in such a way that the learner proceeds from one topic or segment to the next at his/her own speed. This type of instruction is becoming increasingly popular as the education world shifts from the classroom to the internet.[1] See also[edit] References[edit]

The world over, death row inmates are given a choice on what their last meal will be. A sort of pampalubag-loob, we suppose, but we think that only proves how vital to humanity food is.
Why this morbid thought about capital punishment? Well, with the world about to snuff itself out, it's pretty obvious that, for the world over, we are all on death row.
So what's on the menu for your last date with dinner? You don't even have to ask us what's on ours—we mean to die as we have lived: virile, strong, and with a veeeery satisfied woman by our side. Here's a list of what will sustain us for the very last time (although "the last time" could mean "many times," cue cheeky wink). But since some studies have debunked the concept of aphrodisiacs, it appears we will have to rely on our inherent woman-pleasing skills. We see no problem with that.
The romance of chocolate is well-documented: the molten, melted good stuff is slathered on strawberries (or bodies), nicely-wrapped boxes of them are classic ligaw tools, and there's just something about a woman with chocolate on her lip that we just want to lick off.
Science says: Sorry, but chocolate does nothing to make manoy stiff as a pole. Its popularity is due to its large amounts of anadamine and phenylethylamine, which are chemicals that produce the warm fuzzies, says the Men's Health Nutrition Guide. Al Pacino called it right in The Devil's Advocate: Love really isn't any different from eating chocolate. While it might not help you in the sack, it will help you get in the mood for some lovin', because of the identical emotions your body produces when in love. Plus, the methylxanthines in cocoa make skin more sensitive to touch—making your kalabit more welcome.
DIY prep: Don't melt chocolate directly over heat—it will burn and curdle quite disgustingly. A microwave set at 20-30 second increments is better. Fruits that go well with it: strawberries, apples, and your banana—er, bananas. Also, stick to dark chocolate, which has more cocoa content than regular chocolate.
Being Johnny Depp obviously has its perks
Next on the list is the oft-touted oyster—the most obvious of aphrodisiacs, thanks mostly to its unique shape: an exquisite lady-part.
Science says: Oysters are high in zinc, which is said to be essential in sperm production—but it does nothing to keep the equipment working, so to speak. We suppose its power of suggestion (try slurping one up all macho in front of her) should do the trick.
DIY prep: Oysters are best fresh. One way to check is to boil them. If they stay closed, chuck them out. Drizzle the good ones with a squeeze of lemon and slurp away.
Spanish Fly is a favorite item in sex shops—but it probably isn't the real crushed-up beetle with the same name, and you should be grateful. The original became famous because of the hot, burning sensation it produced in your down-theres.
Science says: What produces a hot, swelling sensation in the nether regions is (the very toxic) cantharidin inherent in this bug.
DIY prep: Don't die (yet). If you want a hot, swelling sensation down there, tell your woman to spank your monkey for you. Much, much less toxic.
"You have nothing to worry about; my condition isn't contagious at all."

A few days ago, a group of classmates and I were asked a simple question about trust during a team-building activity.
"Do you offer trust all at once? Or do you offer trust gradually, in small increments?"
Most people would probably find themselves nearer to the middle, depending on the situation. However, for the purpose of the activity, we were asked to choose either extreme and discuss any personal anecdotes that led us there.
As I pondered where I fell on the trust spectrum, I listened to some of my classmates' answers. Most of them carried a common theme of trusting less over time.
"Having played on a number of sports teams growing up, I learned that good teams were based on trust. We had no choice but to trust our teammates, so I gave out trust all at once. We had to have each other's backs. As I grew up, though, I've been more selective about who I trust.""I feel like I have mostly given people the benefit of the doubt. About a few months ago, though, I left my window open and my house got broken into. So that has led me to re-evaluate things."
When it was my turn to speak, I echoed a trend that many of us had realized.
"Earlier in my life, I trusted people wholly and immediately. However, now I consider myself an incremental truster."
I wondered why this may be the case for many of us. Could it be that we grow tired of occasionally being let down? Or, perhaps that we inherently grow to become more stingy with our trust of others?
My three-pronged hypothesis is as follows:
As we age, our time becomes more valuable, and we are less willing to give it up
Trust is a mutual investment of time between two or more people
Failed trust manifests itself as wasted time
The concept of time continues to fascinate me. It truly is our most valued currency.
When considering the value of time as we age, I must refer back to this episode of the Tim Ferriss Show, called Naval Ravikant on Happiness Hacks and the 5 Chimps Theory. Around 56 minutes in, Naval, Tim's guest, brought up a thought-provoking question regarding the value of time as we age, which I paraphrased below.
How many years of your life would you have to get back in exchange for giving up everything you have earned and put away?
in other words...
You may keep your family, your friends, and everything you know, but you lose everything else (your possessions, your money, and your job). In this exchange, you get to be physically younger. How many years of your life would you agree to get back in exchange for giving up everything.
Pretty crazy scenario, yeah? Let Naval explain further:
"I have friends who say 5 or 10 years. For me personally, it is about 2-3 years. I'd start over with everything if you gave me back 2-3 years of youth, frankly. But the older you get the smaller that number gets. When you're on your death bed, when you're in your last days, you'd give up every dollar in the bank for another week, another few days, another hour, another minute."
The last sentence is written on a notecard above my desk. I look at it and remember that...
time our most precious resource. Use it wisely.
With each passing day, we inch inevitably closer to the right. As we approach, our time becomes increasingly more valuable.
Perhaps this is why we find ourselves trusting less as we get older –failed trust leads to wasted time.
Use your time and your trust wisely.

ON AIR - The Love Zone
with Rob Allen
Every weekday, we scrape the showbiz barrel to bring you the latest celebrity dirt and get you through that 3pm slump.
So grab a snickers and a Coke (dirty, not diet) and get your fill of breaking celebrity news.
Stephen Bear has shared an intimate photo with a mystery girl on Snapchat, but has attempted to conceal her face.
The Celebrity Big Brother star posted a snap of himself singing Lovin' You by Minnie Riperton, complete with a Valentine's filter.
The footage was followed by an image of a girl in bed beside him, but her face was covered by a filter AND he scribbled across her face in red, clearly attempting to conceal her identity. (or attract attention to keep us guessing.)
via Snapchat/Bearzy1
It's quite possible that the girl in question is Charlotte Crosby, considering she has featured in similar intimate snaps before.
The Mirror reports that Bear was sacked from Celebs Go Dating earlier this month for "secretly dating Charlotte Crosby," but, according to OK! Magazine, the show's bosses said he was sacked due to behaviour issues and a recent teaser for the show caused a stir when he got up close and personal with a girl, clearly not being held back by a girlfriend.
Looking at previous snaps from Charlotte with a similar filter, we reckon it definitely looks like her, but considering recent events, who's to know for sure.
via Snapchat/CharlotteLetitia
Charlotte also received a Valentine's gift from someone this morning, so if it's not her in the photo and the gift's aren't from Bear, it appears that she may have a new man.
There's too much drama here for us to cope with, but we think they may be playing mind games with us.
Both Justin Bieber and Bella Hadid have made their feelings known about their exes The Weeknd and Selena Gomez's relationship, but Justin seems to have taken things particularly badly.
Justin and Selena dated for a couple of years from 2010.
In a video shared to Twitter during a live Q&A with fans, Justin can be heard saying that his favourite song of the moment is Star Boy by The Weeknd, but follows his statement up by a sarcastic, over the top laugh, making his feelings very clear about the singer dating his Selena.

Can we take that as a no to taking the high road then, Justin?
Meanwhile, Bella Hadid has spoken about her breakup from The Weeknd, and it appears she's not quite over him yet.
Bella Hadid and The Weeknd broke up last November, after dating for more than a year.
Speaking to Teen Vogue, the Victoria's Secret Model stated "It was my first breakup...As an outsider, you might think I handled it so well, but it's always in your heart, and you always feel it very heavily. It'll be hard for a while. Love hurts, but you have to pull through."
It appears that the exes have spoken.

Chrissy Teigen has slammed recent talk that she and husband John Legend are 'relationship goals.'
The model shared a drunken post-Grammy video with her husband, who was helping her take off her necklace. The internet erupted, with many people idolizing the pair and their 'adorable' relationship.

Chrissy Teigen has slammed these comments, however, making the point that if someone taking off a necklace for you is 'relationship goals,' than your standards for a relationship may be slightly too low.
She tweeted "How is John taking off my jewellery "relationship goals?" Like your f****** boyfriend won't take your necklace off... leave him."
The tweet has 80k retweets so far, which is probably because she speaks a whole lot of sense.

Film: Ilford Delta 3200
Settings (Approx): 1/125, f/2.5, ISO3200
Settings (Approx): 1/125, f/2.5, ISO3200
Location: Bearly's House of Blues, Halifax, NS
Process: Developed in Ilfotec DD-X, scanned with a Canoscan 5600F.
For this photo and the rest of the roll of film I was going for a very classic film-grain vibe to make the images look authentic and contrasty. I got what I was after! Shooting the film wasn't too difficult, though after seeing the results at 3200 from my 5DII compared to the Delta 3200 results, I should have overexposed a bit or developed a little more.
