Are you planning to move? Moving homes or offices in Saucier, MS can be a big decision with a lot of moving parts (pun intended). That's where Wirefly comes in. We make it easy for you to find and compare the best moving companies in Saucier, MS, including home movers, office movers, long distance movers, international movers, and auto transport companies to make your move as simple and pain free as possible.
When it comes to how moving companies classify moves, there are two possible types of moves: local moves, which are also known as intrastate moves, and long-distance moves. Understanding the difference between the two is important so consumers can plan the correct route and negotiate the best deal. The key in differentiating between these two types is whether the moving route stays within one state.
The distance traveled doesn't play a part. A move can be considered a local move even if the route starts in Saucier, MS and stretches all the way to the farthest corner of the state. But if the moving company crosses the state line at any point along the way, then the move is a long-distance move. This is true whether the moving route was planned that way or the moving company took a wrong turn and ended up outside the state accidentally. Long-distance moves fall under a different jurisdiction than local moves. Consumers who want more information on long-distance moves and how to make sure their moves remain under the local classification can check out Wirefly's long-distance moving page.
Local moves to or from Saucier, MS still require the same amount of preparation as long-distance moves and have the same logistical concerns. Consumers should research their options to verify that they're choosing reputable moving companies that will also provide the best value for the money they spend on moving services. A few factors all consumers should consider as they research and prepare is how large of a truck they will need, if they're going to pack their possessions themselves or have the movers do it, if a storage facility is necessary in the event there isn't enough space for everything at their new home, and if the movers they find have the proper insurance and licensing. The good news is that all the movers in the Wirefly network will be fully insured and licensed. Consumers can start prepping for a move by mapping out a budget, figuring out all the costs involved with their move, and getting quotes to compare. With Wirefly, it's much easier to get the necessary information and compare available options.
Unfortunately, even crossing one state line qualifies your move as a long-distance move. This even includes moving within your state but crossing the state line for a shorter route option. It's important that you communicate with your movers that you refuse to pass over your state line since they can use this as a tactic to charge you higher service charges.
Fortunately, Saucier, MS long distance movers are legally responsible for obtaining a license from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). This administration helps regulate trucking and residential moving companies by developing and enforcing regulations for long distance movers to follow.
Although Wirefly only works with responsible professional movers who are properly licensed and insured, we always instruct our customers to do plenty of research before they undergo the hiring process. No matter what type of documentation they provide, it's important to look up their records that contain complaint and accident reports through the USDOT site.
When you hire a long distance mover, rather than a local mover, you should expect it to cost more. Knowing this, you should consider all your options and compare a variety of quotes before hiring a moving company.
Even if a moving company offers a great quote, they may not have the best reviews, which makes it important to get a number of referrals from every company you contact. Plus, some companies in Saucier, MS may generally not be the best fit your needs. For example: If you need help packing your belongings, certain moving companies will charge you more for their services. Since this is common practice, you should always ask for a binding moving estimate. This way, there will be no extra cost to you when moving.
Moving from one country to another can be quite challenging. One of the greatest challenges is moving one's belongings from the old home to the new. If you're planning an international move, you may be discouraged by the international moving companies that don't seem to be reliable or able to handle every part of your international move from Saucier, MS into another country. We can help.
The FIDI is the single largest global organization of relocation and moving companies. In order to do business in the U.S., a company based outside the U.S. must be of good standing with the FIDI. Those companies that are in good standing can earn the Accredited International Mover credential.
Wirefly strongly recommends that consumers review the histories of each Accredited International Mover company when comparing moving companies for an international move. The Better Business Bureau, the American Moving & Storage Association, and the Household Goods Forwarder Association are three organization that maintain information about international movers. We suggest researching each company on these websites before making any decisions about which company to go with. Use Wirefly to simplify getting an international quote.
Homeowners are not the only people who need to perform a move from one location to another. Offices need to move from time to time as well, and this task is quite a bit different in comparison to moving from one house to another. Many offices make use of larger pieces of electrical and technological equipment, so making sure a moving company knows how to handle these pieces is essential before the move is even scheduled. Most licensed and insured moving companies throughout the Saucier, MS area know how to break down cubicles and how to safely transport office equipment, and they often can provide heavy duty crates for smaller items to be moved in as well.
One of the most important aspects of moving an office from one location to another is that it must happen in as little amount of time as possible. Unlike in people's personal lives, an office cannot afford to take a lot of time off for a move because of the demands their business operations place on them daily. In order to minimize the amount of disruption a business experiences due to a move, especially as people attempt to continue their daily tasks. A reputable moving company will be able to help pack up an office and unpack it in the new location in as little time as possible. Sometimes, this task can be performed in one day when the right company is hired.
If you find yourself driving a moving truck, but you also need to transport your personal vehicle, Wirefly can help you find transport rates for your vehicle. If you cannot drive your vehicle during your move, we are happy to help you find a reputable company to help you with your vehicle transportation needs. Get a vehicle transport estimate today.
Simply moving all your possessions into your home does not mean you are finished. Many people own more than one vehicle, and that's where vehicle shipping companies come into play. We only partner with those auto transport companies in Saucier, MS who are licensed, insured and prepared for all obstacles that come with moving a vehicle. The companies that Wirefly works with are the best in the business, so don't allow yourself to get stressed over how you are going to move your vehicle. We can handle all your vehicle transport needs.
Wirefly offers great deals on a large selection of smartphones, cell phones, tablets, mobile hotspots, and other wireless devices for the nation's most popular carriers.

You're hitting your flow, blogging up a storm about your company's latest updates, intriguing industry news, and your most noteworthy musings. You hit the submit button, knowing your loyal readers will be eager to share your latest post with their friends and send that fresh knowledge out into the universe.
But when you check all your social media channels the next day, it's like your post was never published. There was not a pin or a tweet or a Facebook post sharing your content. How do you get your readers to take the next step from reading your posts to sharing them on their favorite social media platform?
Try these tips to encourage your readers to start sharing and caring:
1. How do I share?: As your reader is reading your piece, they'll be at their most motivated to share your post at key moments, such as a particularly strong point or quote. When they're ready to share, how easy is it for them to find whatever tools are available to do the sharing? Do you have buttons embedded in your posts, or are you relying on your readers to do a little copy and paste action? (Hint: That might be too much work for them!) You want to make it as easy as possible for your readers to spread the word to make sure they follow through on that urge to sing your praises on social media.
- Make them: Adding sharing buttons to your blog posts is easier than you may think. Learn how on Squarespace and Wordpress. Don't use one of those platforms or want a side of analytics with those buttons? Try a too like DiggDigg, Shareaholic, or AddThis.
Place them: Make your buttons obvious and easy to find. Your audience may be determined to share your posts, but that determination may also run out after 2 seconds of searching. We suggest placing them in the top/left side of the page, for instant notice, but test this with some folks who haven't seen your content yet and see how long it takes them to figure out how to share.
2. Be quotable in fewer than 280 characters: When readers feel the drive to tweet, they often skim posts for small, but mighty, bytes of information to send to their followers. What are the punchiest lines in your post? Highlight quotes with quote boxes or even just bold text, or add "click to tweet" buttons to make it supes easy. It's a subtle, yet effective way for you to say "this is a valuable piece of info!"
Sidenote: With Twitter's new 280 character limit, you have a little more wiggle room in making your noteworthy musings as tweetable as possible. When thinking through your most notable quotes, try to pick ones that are fewer than 240 characters or so, to give your readers some wiggle room to add their own comments. Check out this tool to add your own "Click to Tweet" button to your posts.
3. Picture perfect: When choosing a perfect graphic or image for your blog post, what is the one image size to rule them all? Correctly sizing images for social media is no easy task with each channel having a different optimal image size. Why can't all the social media platforms just get along?
Before we get to sharing, first of all, make sure your images are sized appropriately for your blog on desktop and mobile. Here are some (hooray!) best practices to follow.
Next, to decide what the best size for your images should be to encourage social sharing, consider what channel is most important for your goals. Is it key for your content to reach your peers and colleagues on Twitter, or are you gunning for more traffic from creative entrepreneurs on Pinterest? Decide which channels are the most important and size accordingly using a guide like this one.
4. What's in a name? Remember when we talked about how to master the art of a blog post title? Well, it's more important now than ever to encourage people to share your posts on their social media channels, because your headline is one of the first things a new reader on Facebook will see. Craft headlines that are specific, keyword-friendly, and intriguing to drive engagement. Review our tips to write the perfect icing on the cake of your already amazing post and check out this headline template for some inspo.
5. Check out the nitty-gritty: Have you ever shared a link on Facebook, only to find that (GASP) there was no thumbnail image? Or tried to post the perfect tweet that didn't pull an image from your blog post, even there definitely was one there? Welcome to the world of Open Graph tags. Learning about Open Graph tags can help you control the way your article looks when it's shared, from the image to the title to the description that Facebook will pull from your blog. If you are using a platform like Squarespace or Wordpress, your Open Graph tags are created for you. Is social media not pulling the right info? If your solution isn't found in a plug-in or nuanced Google search, you might need to call up your favorite web dev bestie. Open Graph tags are found in the header of your website, so get ready to do some coding.
It's a little bit of work upfront, but you're already working hard on those posts! So give those babies the best possible chance to reach as many eyeballs as possible.

Nietzsche's People
Yesterday, I began reading Nietzsche's The Anti-Christ, a non-trivial lacuna in my Nietzsche reading to this point. I have not finished it, but I want to look at a movement that is already occurring in Nietzsche's text—a movement I do not fully understand yet. This post is my attempt to go some way toward making sense of it. Specifically, I want to understand the relation between the private and the social in The Anti-Christ. I am using the Penguin Classics edition of Twilight of the Idols and The Anti-Christ, which contains the Hollingdale translation of both works.
I want to start, not with Nietzsche, but with a fascinating suggestion by Gilles Deleuze, in his essay "Literature and Life" (found in Essays Critical and Clinical). He writes:
The ultimate aim of literature is to set free, in the delirium, this creation of a health or this invention of a people, that is, a possibility of life. To write for this people who are missing… (4)
The reason I start here is that I think, on this point, Deleuze is not all that far from Nietzsche's own self-understanding of his project. Nietzsche's 1878 book, Human, All Too Human is subtitled, "A Book for Free Spirits". When the book was reprinted in 1886, Nietzsche wrote a new preface discussing this subtitle. A lengthy quote from this preface (from the Faber translation, University of Nebraska Press):
Whoever guesses something of the consequences of any deep suspicion, something of the chills and fears stemming from isolation, to which every man burdened with an unconditional difference of viewpoint is condemned, this person will understand […] why, when I could not find what I needed, I had to gain it by force artificially, to counterfeit it, or to create it poetically. (And what have poets ever done otherwise? And why else do we have all the art in the world?) What I always needed most to cure and restore myself, however, was the belief that I was not the only one to be thus, to see thus—I needed the enchanting intuition of kinship and equality in the eye and in desire, repose in a trusted friendship… (§1)
Thus I invented, when I needed them, the "free spirits" too, to whom this heavyhearted-stouthearted book with the title "Human, All Too Human" is dedicated. There are no such "free spirits," were none—but, as I said, I needed their company at the time, to be of good cheer in the midst of bad things (illness, isolation, foreignness, sloth, inactivity); as brave fellows and specters to chat and laugh with, when one feels like chatting and laughing, and whom one sends to hell when they get boring—as reparation for lacking friends. That there could someday be such free spirits, that our Europe will have such lively, daring fellows among its sons of tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, real and palpable and not merely, as in my case, phantoms and a hermit's shadow play: I am the last person to want to doubt that. I already see them coming, slowly, slowly; and perhaps I am doing something to hasten their coming when I describe before the fact that fateful conditions that I see giving rise to them, the paths on which I see them coming? (§2)
Here we see Nietzsche explicitly admit that the "free spirits" to whom his book was addressed were non-existent, were his own creation. They are a people who did not yet exist, though Nietzsche saw them coming. (Nietzsche is careful to cast their coming as inevitable, and to minimize his role as, at best, a hastening of their coming, but we might wonder whether or not this is a false modesty. And yes, Nietzsche was capable of modesty when he needed it.) This may also help us understand his claim that he was born posthumously (from the foreword to The Anti-Christ: "Some are born posthumously")—Nietzsche will not be born until after he dies, for his people will not be born until then, the free spirits that he invented.
The foreword to The Anti-Christ begins, "This book belongs to the very few. Perhaps none of them is even living yet." In the first section of the book proper, Nietzsche begins, "Let us look one another in the face. We are Hyperboreans." A helpful note to my edition states that the Hyperboreans were, in Greek mythology, "a race dwelling beyond the north wind (Boreas) in a country of warmth and plenty." In these two quotes, I think Nietzsche is making it clear that he is addressing his book to a specific people, a people opposed to "modern man," the man who sighs, "I know not which way to turn; I am everything that knows not which way to turn" (§1). It is an interpretive question I am not qualified to answer whether or not the Hyperboreans of The Anti-Christ are the same as the "free spirits" of Human, All Too Human. What I can say with some confidence is that Nietzsche is here again in the business of inventing the people to whom his book is addressed.
The book takes as a negative task the condemnation of Christianity: this task is emphasized when, in the book's final section, Nietzsche writes, "– With that I have done and pronounce my judgment. I condemn Christianity, I bring against the Christian Church the most terrible charge any prosecutor has ever uttered" (§62). But, it seems to me, this negative task is not the sole task of the book, and possibly not even the main task—a possibility we should take very seriously given Nietzsche's continual stressing of affirmation over negation, and of the value of looking away from what is ugly. If Nietzsche in this work does not look away, there must be some positive task, and I take that positive task to be the creation of his Hyperborean people.
Throughout the portion of the book I have read, Nietzsche consistently highlights that he is critiquing Christianity from a particular perspective—in this sense, the very act of critique reveals not just the flaws of Christianity, but what the critical perspective takes to be virtuous. The negative and positive tasks are thus inseparable, and so the final act of pronouncing judgment is equally a positive affirmation of the perspective from which the judgment comes. In condemning Christianity, Nietzsche sets himself and his Hyperboreans positive tasks. It is these that I wish to understand, though here I may achieve only the asking of a few pertinent questions.
I will proceed by looking first at what speaks to privacy in the first 18 sections of the book (what I have thus far read), and then I will look to what seems inherently social. Following that, I shall try to make some sense of where things stand.
In §4, Nietzsche suggests that a "higher type of man", a type that stands opposed to collective humanity, has at times been realized by particular individuals, but only by chance, as a "lucky hit." Nietzsche then characterizes the depravity/décadence of an individual as the loss of instinct, as the preference of what is harmful to it (§6). In §11, against Kant as a moralist, Nietzsche writes,
A virtue has to be our invention, our most personal defence and necessity: in any other sense it is merely a danger. […] The profoundest laws of preservation and growth demand the reverse of this [= "impersonal and universal" duty & virtue]: that each one of us should devise his own virtue, his own categorical imperative. […] What destroys more quickly than to work, to think, to feel without inner necessity, without a deep personal choice, without joy? as an automaton of 'duty'? It is virtually a recipe for décadence, even for idiocy…
Here, then, is the personal aspect of Nietzsche's view: individual higher men are to be produced; décadent individuals have lost their instinct for life; individuals must create their own virtues. These are the classic individualist themes in Nietzsche. But there is a more social side to the work as well, which is first seen in his very need to address it to a group of kindred spirits.
Thus Nietzsche speaks of the "formula of our happiness" (§1), of the "first principle of our philanthropy" (§2), and he characterizes a collective task: "To be physician here, to be inexorable here, to wield the knife here – that pertains to us, that is our kind of philanthropy, with that are we philosophers, we Hyperboreans!" (§7). Theologians are characterized as "our antithesis" (§8). Intermixed with what I (quite selectively) quoted from §11 is the following: "A people perishes if it mistakes its own duty for the concept of duty in general." The whole of §14 is dedicated to illustrating the ways in which "we have learned better" what are the criteria for reality and unreality.
Thus we have, on the one hand what is personal and individual, and on the other hand what is institutional and social. How do these relate? Specifically, what is the relation between a people and a person: what is their relation in terms of values especially? In §3, Nietzsche sets out his primary problem:
The problem I raise here is not what ought to succeed mankind in the sequence of species (– the human being is a conclusion –): but what type of human being one ought to breed, ought to will, as more valuable, more worthy of life, more certain of the future.
This more valuable type has existed often enough already: but as a lucky accident, as an exception, never as willed. He has rather been the most feared, he has hitherto been virtually the thing to be feared – and out of fear the reverse type has been willed, bred, achieved: the domestic animal, the herd animal, the sick animal man – the Christian…
This goes some way to illuminating the relationship. Let me start by looking at what Nietzsche wants to take down: Christianity. As I read this passage, Nietzsche is suggesting that Christianity as an institution has served to breed Christians as individuals—sick individuals. Christianity as an institution is thus inimical to the cultivation of higher types of individuals—though of course Nietzsche recognized that the higher type had been achieved at times within Christian culture, despite having never been willed.
This suggests some clarification of the relationship between the Hyperboreans and the higher type. The Hyperboreans, as physicians, have the task of setting up social institutions that will breed the higher type. They are to create a context in which the higher type will be willed rather than feared. Nietzsche's view is thus not solely for individuals: he really does wish to see the arising of a particular people.
But a tension still remains. Nietzsche seems to slide back and forth between peoples and persons. Thus, in §11, he suggests that each individual must have find his own categorical imperative, but then speaks of a people mistaking its particular duty for duty-in-itself. He moves from virtue as something fundamentally individual (think of the private virtue of Zarathustra) to something that characterizes a people. He extends this thought in §16, where he discusses the creation of Gods: "A people which still believes in itself still also has its own God." The Jews have their God, for which they are the chosen people; Christians by contrast have a cosmopolitan God—a degeneration of the Israelites' God. Gods are something social; they reflect the belief of a culture in itself—or the loss of that belief in a "perishing" people.
Another complication ensues when we look at §13, where Nietzsche writes:
Let us not undervalue this: we ourselves, we free spirits, are already a 'revaluation of all values', an incarnate declaration of war and victory over all ancient conceptions of 'true' and 'untrue'. […] We have had the whole pathos of mankind against us – its conception of what truth ought to be; every 'thou shalt' has hitherto been directed against us…. Our objectives, our practices, our quiet, cautious, mistrustful manner – all this appeared utterly unworthy and contemptible to mankind.
In my prior understanding of Nietzsche—in keeping with what I quoted earlier about each individual having his own categorical imperative—I understood the revaluation of all values as an individual task. Here, however, Nietzsche sees it as a social one, one incarnated in all Hyperboreans.
What am I to take away from this? On the one hand, Nietzsche is an individualistic philosopher, but there seems to be a social element to his thought that I did not previously appreciate. Is this to be understood as the need to create a culture with institutions that promote the development of the higher type, that will the higher type? Is it to be seen as recognition that the highest creative movements that Nietzsche recognizes can be instantiated at the level of peoples and not just in individuals? Are Nietzsche's Hyperboreans themselves individuals of the higher type, or mere breeders of the higher type? How does the duty of a people relate to the duty of an individual? If Gods are creations of peoples, then they reflect public, shared virtues—how do public and shared virtues interact with private virtues? What is the implication of the Hyperboreans being a creation of Nietzsche the individual have for all of this?
I do not know the answers to these questions—I hope that when I have completed the book I shall have gained some insight. I would, of course, appreciate any suggestions from readers familiar with Nietzsche's thought.

Very interesting, dyssebeia! I certainly recognise the urge to write about Nietzsche before having finished the book.
I think your approach to The Antichrist is very interesting, but I'm hesitant to comment on it because I only know the book from the biographies I've read.
You start with the new preface to Human, All Too Human, and Nietzsche's description of the free spirit. What puzzles me is that Nietzsche wrote a large part of HH when he was in Sorrento with, among others, Paul Rée. I think they were 'kindred spirits' at the time. Rée was working on The Origin of the Moral Sensations, and in his foreword he called Nietzsche the father of that book (and himself the mother). Both were writing aphorisms during the day and reading the French aphorists with the assembled inhabitants of the villa in the evenings. Because of what happened later, the friendship between Nietzsche and Rée turned sour and it is certain that Nietzsche spent one very lonely winter in Italy. So, what I'd like to say is that sometimes, I suspect that Nietzsche wrote his new prefaces incorporating the ideas he later developed. Or even reshaping his earlier thoughts. And I think the free spirit is such an idea, that only took shape after HH was first printed. Nietzsche had intense friendships, with one other boy at Pforta, with Rée and with Peter Gast. (The friendship with Rée seems to be almost on equal terms.) I think in his later works, like in the Antichrist, the loneliness and the 'untimeliness' came to the foreground more, but like everything else with Nietzsche, it is multi-layered.
As are his views on Christianity; I really like your idea of looking for the positive affirmation in relation to this! I suspect Nietzsche wanted to scare some people off with his bold statements about Christianity, but there must be more to it than that. After all, he was convinced from a very young age that Christianity as an organised religion was falling apart even without pushing it. He was more interested in what would happen after that, I think.
Sorry for writing at such length. I am very curious to see what you come up with when you've finished the book!
2013/08/27 at 15:49
I would suggest reading essay two of section two of Genealogy of Morals, or read it again if you have, to help with your questions. And I would reconsider what you suggest about Nietzsche advocating "institutions of the higher type" as that term is quite contradictory to Nietzsche's perspective for institutions limit man from becoming that "higher type," however you believe it is.
2013/08/27 at 16:07
Thank you, Afshin. I've read that work, but not recently. It's been on my re-read list for a while now. I will be sure to keep these questions in mind when I do get around to it.
I am a bit perplexed by your comment about institutions (and if you are right about Nietzsche then I am perplexed by Nietzsche). One of Nietzsche's aims, as I understand him, is to promote a culture where the "higher type" is willed and not merely an accident. His criticism of Christianity is (in part) that it wills precisely the opposite. That suggests to me that it is the wrong kind of institution, not that it is in the wrong simply for being an institution. Really, the very thought that the higher type should be willed seems to me to imply the need for some sort of institution. But perhaps I am making an error here (I can already see where one might at least start an objection), so I would appreciate any response you have.
2013/08/27 at 18:02
It's not that I object to your understanding of Nietzsche's quite ambiguous positivist notion of "higher type" as it's continued to be debated and discussed. I'm merely questioning its categorization of it where it becomes merely a concept; to say the "higher type" (however it may be defined) can become a shared notion to such a degree that it can then be "chosen" and then "passed on" via an institution of some sort implies many things and at the very least there is the implication that there are categorical imperatives attached to it which are born from mere concepts not of the will. So here at the very least the notion of will must be defined.
If you have Twilight of the Idols on hand, read §38 under the section titled, "Skirmishes of an Untimely Man." I've copied and pasted it below from the pdf that I have:
"My idea of freedom. – Sometimes the value of a thing is not what you get with it but what you pay for it, – what it costs. Here is an example. Liberal institutions stop being liberal as soon as they have been attained: after that, nothing damages freedom more terribly or more thoroughly than liberal institutions. Of course people know what these institutions do: they undermine the will to power, they set to work levelling moun- tains and valleys and call this morality, they make things small, cowardly, and enjoyable, – they represent the continual triumph of herd animals. Liberalism: herd animalization, in other words . . . As long as they are still being fought for, these same institutions have entirely different effects and are actually powerful promoters of freedom.
On closer inspection, it is the war that produces these effects, the war for liberal institutions which, being a war, keeps illiberal institutions in place. And the war is what teaches people to be free. Because, what is freedom anyway? Having the will to be responsible for yourself. Maintaining the distance that divides us. Becoming indifferent to hardship, cruelty, deprivation, even to life. Being ready to sacrifice people for your cause, yourself included. Freedom means that the manly instincts which take pleasure in war and victory have gained control over the other instincts, over the instinct of 'happiness', for instance. People who have becomefree (not to mention spirits who have become free) wipe their shoes on the miserable type of well-being that grocers, Christians, cows, females, Englishmen, and other democrats dream about. A free human being is a warrior. – How is freedom measured in individuals and in peoples? It is measured by the resistance that needs to be overcome, by the effort that it costs to stay on top. Look for the highest type of free human beings where the highest resistance is constantly being overcome: five paces away from tyranny, right on the threshold, where servitude is a danger. This is true psychologically, if you understand 'tyrant' to mean the merciless and terrible instincts that provoke the maximal amount of authority and discipline against themselves – Julius Caesar, the most magnificent type -; this is true politically as well, just look at history. The peoples with any value at all became valuable, and not through liberal institutions: great danger made them into something deserving of respect, the danger that first made us know our resources, our virtues, our arms and weapons, our spirit, – the danger thatforces us to be strong . . . First principle: you must need to be strong, or else you will never become it. – Those great hothouses for the strong, for the strongest type of people ever to exist, aristocratic communities in the style of Rome and Venice, understood freedom in precisely the sense I understand the word: as something that you have and do not have, that you will, that you win …"
And here's just an excerpt from section two of essay two of Genealogy of Morals:
"By way of contrast, let us place ourselves at the other end of this enormous process, at the point where the tree finally bears its fruit, where society and moral custom finally reveal the *end* to which they were merely a means: there we find the ripest fruit on their tree the *sovereign individual,* the individual who resembles no one but himself, who has once again broken from the morality of custom, the autonomous supramoral individual (since 'autonomous' and 'moral' are mutually exclusive)."

Dyssebeia, I'm not sure what your point is now. Are you arguing whether Nietzsche asserted value on social constructs or are you arguing whether you personally believe them by having inserted your own value judgments? If you're trying to do the former then I would suggest you develop your arguments more closely to the source as possible. If it's the latter then I don't see the point of engaging this discussion as this is essentially a subjective point with which there are no reason for objections.
I'm afraid you're putting the cart before the horse here if you're suggesting what you believe Nietzsche is arguing. I originally suggested that you must first define what you mean by "will" and you did not, let alone specifically reference how Nietzsche sees it. You instead continued this discussion with the assumption that the intellect plays a central role, capable of commanding the development of the spirit. That is a very big assumption and one that you'll find Nietzsche objects to time and again in his texts.
In section 124 in Daybreak, Nietzsche writes the following: "We laugh at him who steps out of his room at the moment when the sun steps out of its room, and then says: 'I will that the sun shall rise'; and at him who cannot stop a wheel, and says: 'I will that it shall roll'; and at him who is thrown down in wrestling, and says: 'here I lie, but I will lie here!' But, all laughter aside, are we ourselves ever acting any differently whenever we employ the expression 'I will'?
To talk about the will with respect to Nietzsche, one must not forget that Nietzsche attacks any assertion that the will is born from the intellect alone. It is for that reason that many find his writing challenging as he essentially undermines the belief born from the phrase, "I think, therefore I am." To posit that because a thought has entered the mind, it is because the mind conjured it is what is being assumed here.
Nietzsche broke down the will into three constitutive parts: the bodily feelings of the will, the commandeering thought, and the meta-feeling of superiority (the feeling that the thought commands everything else). In each of these parts, Nietzsche breaks down the assumptions that are born from it which lead to one believing as if the intellect can overpower the will itself.
In section 19 of Beyond Good and Evil (BGE), Nietzsche writes his understanding of the phenomenology of willing in great detail: "[I]n every act of willing there is, to begin with, a plurality of feelings [Gefühlen], namely: the feeling of the state away from which, the feeling of the state towards which, and the feeling of this 'away from' and 'towards' themselves. But this is accompanied by a feeling of the muscles that comes into play through a sort of habit as soon as we 'will,' even without our putting 'arms and legs' into motion. Just as feeling — and indeed many feelings — must be recognized as ingredients of the will, thought must be as well. In every act of will there is a commandeering thought, — and we really should not believe this thought can be divorced from the 'willing,' as if some will would then be left over! Third, the will is not just a complex of feeling and thinking; rather it is fundamentally an affect [ein Affekt]; and specifically the affect of the command. What is called 'freedom of the will' is essentially the affect of superiority with respect to something that must obey: 'I am free, "it" must obey' — this consciousness lies in every will. … A person who wills —, commands something inside himself that obeys, or that he believes to obey."
The "affect" of the will, in Nietzsche's terms, is describing the consequential feeling of the thought that "I am willing," e.g., "I have walked towards my desk, opened this laptop and I am writing this message to send away to you." The mere identification of this will which has thereby commanded this body, which is me, to do the things in the example that I have described and is the basis of my superior feeling that the will was born from my mind and nothing more. Yet this identification does not thereby lead to the understanding from where the will has been born despite my feeling of superiority of commanding myself to do something.
This paradox where I am both commanding and obeying the will is something that Nietzsche examines further in the same section, BGE 19: "[W]e are, under the circumstances, both the one who commands and the one who obeys, and as the obedient one we are familiar with the feelings of compulsion, force, pressure, resistance, and motion that generally start right after the act of willing. On the other hand, however, we are in the habit of ignoring and deceiving ourselves about this duality by mean of the synthetic concept of the 'I.'"
Nietzsche in section 17 of BGE already address this underlying assumption that because "I think" or at least believe that I have willed a thought, therefore "I" exist: "It is … a falsification of the facts to say that the subject 'I' is the condition of the predicate 'think.' It thinks: but to say the 'it' is just the famous old 'I' — well that is just an assumption or opinion, to put it mildly, and by no means an 'immediate certainty.' In fact, there is already too much packed into the 'it thinks': even the 'it' contains an interpretation of the process, and does not belong to the process itself."
So with all of that said, I would once again suggest you examine your understanding of the concept of will and its phenomenology with respect to Nietzsche's writing. And then once you have established a concrete understanding of it, see how it is incongruent to your value judgments of institutions. What is the purpose for such institutions? To create a landscape amenable to the hyper type? But why would the higher type wish for that when he understands the will as Nietzsche sees it or how this higher type is understood? Or worse yet, how would a higher type be that if it must go through a conditioning process to "become" a higher type? Wouldn't that be a contradiction of terms? And how are the virtues to be agreed upon and then instilled? There are many assumptions that are being asserted here, most of which are antithetical to Nietzsche's understanding of the will and to the "sovereign man" as I quoted earlier from Genealogy of Morals.
I'm afraid to say that this discussion has reached an impasse as there are many elements in this discussion that are being forsaken. I have offered this post though to at least challenge you once more to examine your assumptions of Nietzsche. But to continue this discussion prior to that happening would be a disservice to both of us, as it would become nothing more than me merely proffering you quotes while you continue to maintain the conjectured objection that Nietzsche believes otherwise. So with that said, I wish you luck in your journey and I hope you will give time to examining your line of thought so that if you showcase this position for another time, you at least have it anchored with the text, and maybe then someone else can entertain a discussion with you based on the understanding and interpretations of Nietzsche's texts. But for now I believe this discussion has reached its end. -A

Hidden in a land wrought with skin-deep irony and nauseating trust-fund-bohemian hipsters lies a little haven of sincerity and truth. Fette Sau in the heart of Williamsburg is definitely a win, with a fairly digestible value-quality ratio. The atmosphere is exactly what I'd expect/hope for – relaxed open-air vibe with communal picnic table seating, but with a hip sophistication that is pure Williamsburg.
Offering six meat options nightly in counter-style service, this is one of the more authentic places I've been to so far in New York. I definitely appreciate being able to pay by the pound for getting the most variety on my limited budget.
I tried 1/4lb of the pork shoulder and 1/4lb of their pastrami. I'd never seen pastrami at a bbq place before, but it was the closest thing to brisket they had available on the particular night I came. The pork was fantastic – not so smokey or pink like Dinosaur but texturally satisfying and very flavorful. And at $16/lb its reasonable enough. The butcher was generous with the portion as well. The pastrami was good too – a little bit saltier and tougher than brisket should normally be, but ultimately satisfying after covering it in sauce (like most things in life). I'm curious as to how theirs is prepared compared to some of the NY Style delis. Maybe pastrami is NYC's true regional BBQ meat?!
Fette Sau offers three table sauces – original, pasilla chile, and vinegar. The vinegar was lackluster, but the other two were standouts. The original was well rounded – not too sweet and not too tangy. The pasilla was extreme spicy in a dry smokey pungent way. Its definitely a sauce I would keep around the house and use on everything. There was also a really good spicy brown mustard on the table that perfectly complimented the pastrami and pork sausages (that I didn't try).
I had heard good things about the pork belly – and its generally one of my favorites. But it was on the bone and only sold in one rib increments – meaning the smallest portion available was about a pound. Plus, you're paying for the weight of all that bone! Had I know the deal before I ordered I would have probably split one with my companion in stead of counting on trying his, but he decided to go with the pork shoulder and boneless beef ribs. The ribs were outstanding and really gave a different perspective on a great cut of meat when you don't have to navigate the huge bones.
I should also mention that the place has a great American Whiskey and local beer selection. Beer is available in growlers for a decent-high price.

Japan has an aging problem.
There are a lot of old people in Japan - so many the government can no longer afford to hand out commemorative silver sake dishes to those who hit the age of 100. (Video via Hidali, YouTube / 横川由紀子)
More popular and trending stories
That's according to Kyodo News, which reports the Japanese government is looking for a cheaper option, such as a less-expensive sake dish or simply a letter of congratulations. (Video via Al Jazeera)
The Japanese paper says the government spent almost $2 million on the silver dishware last year.
And the number of Japanese centenarians continues to rise.
Kyodo says the number of 100-year-olds will reach 39,000 in 2018. The number back when they started handing out the silver dishes a half-century ago? One hundred fifty-three. (Video via BBC)
At 84 years, Japan has the highest life expectancy in the world, according to the World Health Organization.
Japan also has a low-birthrate problem. So the national population is both declining and getting older.
And as far as conventional wisdom goes, an aging population isn't exactly good for the economy.
So, what's Japan doing about it?
Simply put, the government's trying to get more young people to marry. That could help fix the birthrate issue and stabilize Japan's declining population. (Video via Happy Dayz Productions)
As for the aging population, that's a bit trickier. You can't really tell a group of people to, well, stop living.
But you can tell them to work longer. One fix the government is trying out is raising the minimum retirement age from 61 to 65 incrementally by 2025.
For now, there are some grim forecasts for Japan's economy if the country doesn't find a way to solve its aging crisis.

This is an excerpt of an article published by The National Interest. For the full article, please click here.
The calls for U.S. military action against Syrian government forces have become more vociferous in recent weeks, as outrage over the current Russian and Syrian military offensive in rebel-held eastern Aleppo mounts. The calls are not new: critics have been urging President Barack Obama to become more involved in the Syrian civil war since it began in 2011, and have since become louder amid glaring human rights abuses.
The last time the Obama administration "considered" striking President Bashar al-Assad's forces was in August 2013, following global outrage at a chemical attack on rebel-held neighborhoods in eastern Damascus. Disturbing images of the past week of hospitals being reduced to rubble due to Russian and Syrian bombardment have again resulted in elevated calls for intervention. Indeed, Western leaders, including Obama, have mirrored the moral outrage by slamming the Russian-led assault as "barbarous" and possible "war crimes." But as in August 2013, morality was not a motivation for direct, foreign intervention. The Obama administration refrained from bombing Assad's forces after the chemical attack in 2013, and will likely remain on the sidelines again.
The sad reality of international relations is that interests trump humanitarianism. The Security Council has deliberated, released statements and resolutions, and watched on as numerous cases of crimes against humanity came before it. Assad is not the first despot to inflict egregious crimes against his own people, and seemingly get away with it. When it serves the interest of a great power, morality is a footnote. And Russia is not the only party to the game—it is the standard conduct of all great powers.
In the late 1970s, the West watched silently when Pol Pot's Cambodian regime clobbered, hacked, and tortured two million of his own people to death in one of the worst genocides since World War II. In the 1980s, the Khmer Rouge received training at secret camps in neighboring Thailand from British special forces. Despite being one of the most brutal dictators of the twentieth century, Pol Pot served American interests in opposing the Communist regime in Vietnam, which had recently asserted full control over Vietnam after defeating the U.S.-backed South Vietnamese government.
President Obama's policy of nonintervention in Syria—with the exception of the campaign against ISIS, which deliberately avoids confrontation with the Syrian government and the Russians—is not an anomaly; it follows a script of international relations that determines intervention on the basis of national interest. Morality is not a consideration, and it is unlikely that any American leader—Democrat or Republican—would apply a different formula when deciding on military action. Thus, the question advocates of U.S. military action need to ask and answer is: how is it in America's national interest to go to war against the Syrian government, and risk direct confrontation with a great power such as Russia?
If it is solely for humanitarian purposes, the United States will abstain every day of the week. It is necessary, thus, to determine what America's interests are in the Syrian civil war, which remain unclear. Obama's failure is not in that he has refused to intervene, but that, after five years of war, he has yet to clearly articulate what America's interests are in this war. The egg cannot hatch before it is laid.

This stops when parents demand it to. Pretty simple.
It's merely the tip of the iceberg with this "teacher."
There is more to disclose, including the propaganda he papers the walls of "his" classroom with. That will be out there shortly.
David Albano English Teacher firstname.lastname@example.com
Perhaps more than a few parents will request that their children NOT be placed in any of Albano's classes at Fox Lane, so long as he is employed there. Can we not do better than this? Principal Miller and superintendent for curriculum Adelberg may hold the answers.

You've seen the ads: "Donate your car and get a tax break." Technically, that's true.
But some people who give away an old auto might find their tax break smaller than they expected. And a few donors, thanks to the intricacies of vehicle gift guidelines, might be able to boost their deduction amounts.
Giving away a clunker to a charity was once straightforward. You could claim the old car's fair market value, that is, the amount a willing buyer would pay a willing seller for the product. Typically, you'd refer to auto valuation services, such as the Kelley Blue Book, to get an idea of the donated car's value, give it to your favorite nonprofit and then drive off with a tax break equal to that valuation amount. No more.
Because some taxpayers got greedy, claiming much more than their old autos were worth, lawmakers tightened the rules on how much you can write off for a vehicle donation. Now the precise tax break depends on the donor's claimed value of the gift and how the charity uses the vehicle.
"This puts taxpayers in the unusual situation of not knowing the size of their deduction when they make the donation," says Bob D. Scharin, senior tax analyst from the Tax & Accounting business of Thomson Reuters.

I am a professional speaker and frequently get asked to speak on Stress and Change.
These are my primary areas of expertise when supporting people in business.
Executive Stress Seminars: Taking the Stress out of Leadership!
This is my core area of expertise and the one I speak about most often. For shorter seminars this is called 'Taking the Stress out of Life' but for half day workshops on Executive Stress the full title is 'Taking the Stress out of Leadership!'.
Extensive research confirms that significant stress affects your well-being and performance. It is proven that people are more productive if they feel in control of what they can influence and alter. It helps if they are managed by a collaborative style rather than an autocratic one. Dominant, authoritative people can be known for getting things done; but they also stamp their personality on an organisation and may inflict stress on their employees. Those with personality styles that are less driven than their own can frustrate them or seem tedious. Autocratic people can be demanding, less patient and intolerant. All of this adds up to a recipe for stress, both in the leader and in their employees.
Why Should You Attend a Seminar?
Sue is an eloquent, articulate presenter with wide experience of presenting to small and large groups. She combines a direct style with an engaging manner and professional delivery on this sensitive topic. This ensures that she not gets not only your attention, but also that you leave with your own personal blueprint for stress management based on your experience with 'Taking the Stress out of Leadership!' New skills and strategies will be formed which can be taken back into the workplace and in turn will help your organisation's bottom line.
What are the Benefits of Attending?
1. You will learn the Ten Point Plan: ten proven strategies that help you reduce stress immediately and make a difference to how well you handle it in the future.
2. You can be 'wired up' to a cardiac monitoring kit that is simple to use on a laptop or PC and which demonstrates how to reduce your stress and become more effective. It is easy to learn the technique and reproduce it no matter how stressed you are or what situation you're in.
3. You will be able to determine the significance of your own symptoms of stress and learn simple techniques to manage them well.
4. You'll be able to identify stress in other people and support them to manage it better
5. You'll receive a booklet that will cover the Ten Point Plan and longer term strategies for success.

Strategically Managing Change
Strategically Managing Change is an important subject at a time when organizations have to introduce new processes, and modify old processes, in order to remain competitive. The impact of frequent change, or infrequent but significant change, to people can often be de-motivating and negative. It doesn't have to be though. This session is designed to help understand how and why people react to change. The more we understand people, the better we can implement change initiatives, maintain productivity and maximise the effectiveness of everyone involved.
1. To define 'Change' and its impact both in recent years within Industry and on people
2. To introduce a personality characteristic that differentiates those people who are likely to cope well with change and those who cope less well
3. To suggest ways of encouraging both personality types to work well together
4. To make a number of recommendations which ensure change initiatives are as effective as possible.
Each delegate will receive a workbook to help them handle difficult periods of change
This is an interactive session using exercises and a personality questionnaire to illustrate the pertinent points, and includes time for group discussion.

I was at a networking dinner this week and was privileged to hear Marcus Cauchi speak about one of the things that most of us dread - cold calling. Even if we don't cold call, for many of us picking up the phone to speak with someone is no longer a natural action. Given the choice between sending an email or talking to someone on the phone, we would opt to do the former.
Marcus began by saying that his approach to sales is not one that is comfortable for many and boy was he right - he is a big man with big ideas but he absolutely gets to the heart of what is going on; the tactics we use to avoid picking up the phone and the voice in our head that gives us nothing but negative messages about what we can expect when and if we do make that call.
The defining moment of Marcus' talk came when he played a video of his eleven year old daughter making a cold call:
It's perhaps no surprise that when the call came to an end there was absolute silence in the room.
I can't say what was happening for everyone else but the voice in my head was saying 'if an 11 year old girl can make such a call what's stopping you with all your experience and skills?'
Needless to say I have picked up the phone more this week than I have done for a very long time (probably before the advent of email) and do you know what - I have really enjoyed talking to real people even when they said they didn't have just 30 seconds to talk to me!

As it's Thursday #ThrowbackThursday #tbt etc etc, I thought I'd share some of my not quite so flattering running photos. I put together a similar post way back in 2014, it was definitely time for an update.
Apparently, to be a successful blogger and to make money from my random thoughts, I need to fill my posts with professional photos. I think it's safe to say that with the exception of a couple of official race photos, the photos in my blog are anything but professional.
I've been blogging for several years and have never made a penny. I have a full time job and blog as a hobby, so although it would be nice to cover the costs of running this blog, I don't really mind if I don't.
Enough waffle, here are some photos I found while I was sorting through all the random files I've got saved on my computer. I'm not completely sure why I actually paid for some of these beauties.
Don't get injured
Since 2014, I have had more than my fair share of running injuries. I've tried to run through some of them – never a smart idea, rest is the only way forward.
My friend took this photo of me back in 2015. I'd been injured and hadn't been able to run for several months. For once in my life, I'd listened to what my physio said, had done loads of strength and conditioning exercises, and hadn't tried to rush back into running. I remember the excitement of being given the go ahead to run.
Unfortunately, although I managed to complete a 3000m run, during the final couple of laps my right knee was incredibly painful. I knew I was back to square one. As you can imagine I wasn't exactly thrilled when I discovered my friend had captured me lying on the track sulking.
Fortunately, I recovered from my knee injury and was soon back gurning my way around races while impersonating a beetroot.
Don't stop running
My friend took this delightful photo of me towards the end of the 2016 Great Midlands Fun Run. It was boiling hot and I'd made my usual mistake of wearing far too many layers.
I remember spotting my friend at the side of the road, stopping and removing a couple of layers in front of quite a few slightly bemused spectators. I'm sure my friend really appreciated being handed a sweaty and rather smelly t-shirt. Although I wasted valuable time, stripping down to my club vest was definitely the right decision.
Also, don't ever run with #1 on your race bib. The heckling when you aren't actually in first place does get a little predicable after an hour.
At least I look reasonably awake and have my eyes open. Judging by the photos I sorted through, I seem to run with my eyes closed.
Strike a pose
I'm not sure what I was thinking when I tried to give the race photographer a 'thumbs up' as I approached the finish line of the 2016 Great Birmingham Run. After running for well over two hours, I was clearly feeling too tired to keep my eyes open.
Can someone explain to me why I paid for this delightful photo? It's a dreadful photo. I'm also struggling to recall why I felt the need to wear a pair of shorts and a running skort. Oh well, at lease the male runner wearing bib #8328 looks happy.
At least I was pleased to be nearing the finish line, this isn't always the case.
The grumpy runner
I think it's safe to say I didn't enjoy the final mile of the 2016 Lichfield 10k. I set out at a far too ambitious pace and found the second half of the race a struggle. As you can imagine, I wasn't exactly thrilled when I realised that the finish line of the 10k was at the top of a grassy hill.
I think this pose is a combination of "shit there's a race photographer" combined with relief at crossing the finish line. I was so tired I couldn't even find the strength to give the photographer a proper thumbs up.
The kick up the arse photo
This delightful photo was taken at the start of this year's Great Midlands Fun Run. Although the rather random positioning of my running bag doesn't help, I personally think that I look terrible.
The camera doesn't (generally) lie and this photo was a bit of a wakeup call. I'd been eating far too much unhealthy food for far too long and it showed, I could almost see all the takeaway meals.
At least I nailed my standard thumbs up pose.
The beetroot faced runner
I'll start with a confession, whenever the photographer has actually captured me; the photos of me running at my local parkrun haven't been that bad recently. I think knowing what Ron looks like and where he usually 'hides' helps 😉 Unfortunately, the traditional post-parkrun photos I get my friend to take are generally pretty rubbish.
This particular photo is awesome as I'm doing my standard thumbs up pose while looking like a beetroot.
I mean how red does my face look in this particular photo? The heat from my face could have powered the National Grid. I don't think it was even that warm that morning!
Mine's a double…chin
I loved every minute of the Cathedral to Castle Run earlier this year. The 10 miles felt relatively easy, and I crossed the finish line with a smile on my face. Although I love how focused I look in this photo, I'm not such a fan of my double chin.
I guess playing the violin for 30+ years hasn't helped. Can anyone recommend some anti double chin exercises?
I can just about make out a hint of a double chin in the final photo I'm going to share.
The peaky selfie
I took the final photo I'm going to share myself, so I've only got myself to blame for this delight. I think I need to provide some background. I'd just completed a half marathon training run and was feeling incredibly nauseous.
It took me several attempts to take this half respectable selfie, and I still look pretty terrible. My usual bright bed beetroot face is nowhere to be seen. I remember it taking me ages to walk home as I felt so rough. I made it home and then spent several hours in bed feeling ill. At least I wasn't actually sick.
Definitely not my finest moment as a runner.
So I hope you all enjoyed this #ThrowbackThursday post and my not quite so perfect running photos. Hopefully, you won't have nightmares.

Thanks to his extensive industry knowledge and unbounded candor, investor Jason Calacanis has become one of the most important voices in the YouTube space. Calacanis has seldom held back his criticism of YouTube and its aggressive revenue split, and his latest blog post returns to this topic once again. In response to Google's announcement that Susan Wojcicki has replaced Salar Kamangar as YouTube's CEO, Calacanis has offered some suggestions for Wojcicki on how to make YouTube better.
Most of Calacanis' blog post reiterates points he's made before: YouTube is hugely important to Google, the site's revenue split makes money scarce for creators, and the partner program needs to be more of a two-way street. The most interesting part of Calacanis' post is his suggestion for a four-tiered partner program that would reward channels with more subscribers.
Calacanis has proposed this system in the past, but in this post he lays out the exact framework for how it could work. Partners would start at the ground level with a 50-50 revenue split and relatively few privileges. Each successive step would kick in at certain subscriber milestones. Channels with more than 500,000 subscribers would reach the top tier, which would include an 80-20 revenue split in favor of creators, the ability to cull e-mail addresses from subscribers, one-year advances to cover production costs, and partial control over channel pages.
In a competitive industry, Calacanis' proposal is a sound one. It allows YouTube to take an even bigger cut from the vast majority of creators while rewarding those who must put in enough time to make YouTube their full-time profession.
The problem is that the online video space is not competitive enough. Platforms like Vine have made inroads into YouTube's audience, and other upcoming platforms could continue that trend, but as things stand now, YouTube still controls the vast majority of the online video market (Calacanis previously hinted at two competitive platforms set to debut last fall, neither of which have yet materialized.) Therefore, Wojcicki has little reason to prioritize this issue; in fact, catering to creators would increase ad inventory, which would in turn continue to diminish YouTube's dwindling ad rates.
Some YouTube competitors could arrive soon. When they do, Calacanis' partner tiers are worth revisiting. For now, though, expect YouTube's policy to remain unchanged.

Winter has come early!
DFW Airport hit freezing this morning for the first time since February 12th, and was the earliest date of the first freeze of the season since 1993! The average first freeze of the season is November 22nd, so we were well ahead of average this year.
This weekend will mainly be quiet but continuing to be chilly. Highs today will only top out at or around 50°, but we won't see another freeze tonight. Clouds will be around overnight, which will keep temps well above freezing. It will still be chilly as Sunday morning temps will be in the upper 30s and low 40s.
Most of Sunday will be quiet with just chilly temps and clouds. However, some spotty showers will be possible starting Sunday evening. Those showers will increase in coverage Sunday night and widespread rain will be likely by Monday. While all of that is happening, a strong cold front will be moving through North Texas as well.
Monday will be cold, rainy, and windy. Temps on Monday will only be in the 30s to low 40s. With that cold air does come the chance at a rain/snow mix for parts of North Texas, yes I said snow! Before you get too excited, keep reading. A mix of rain/snow is possible across western and northwestern North Texas Monday morning into early Monday afternoon. The DFW area will likely only see a cold rain. Even in areas that see snow, and even with the cold, temps will likely stay too warm for any accumulation or cause any problems. Simply, enjoy it if you see it!
If temps on Monday end up being colder or warmer than what we think right now, that will influence who sees a rain/snow mix or if any accumulation is possible. Keep checking back to the forecast!
Any rain clears out heading into Monday night, but cold temps will remain. Another freeze is likely for most places by Tuesday morning.
Stay warm everyone!

5 New Windows Live Hotmail Tools Rolling OutPar hotmail123 dans Accueil le 9 Août 2018 à 03:51
Five new Windows Live Hotmail tools are currently rolling out to users worldwide, a process that will last a few weeks, and power users are bound to be happy with the enhancements.
It's all about increasing the level of control that customers have over their inbox, to summarize the focus of Hotmail's latest updates.
According to Dick Craddock - group program manager, Hotmail, the contents of an average inbox are quite diversified, and actual emails make up just some 14%, with newsletters and deals taking up as much as 50%, social updates 17%, various notifications 9%, shopping 6% and even some actual spam, about 2%.
The new newsletter category was introduced especially to help users deal with what the software giant calls graymail.
"We use the same SmartScreen technology that helps us fight spam – a machine learning engine that gets better over time," Craddock said.
"Right out of the gate, we're 95% accurate with the mail we categorize as newsletters, and this will only get better as you help us build the feature by categorizing or un-categorizing your own mail. In fact, every time you categorize an email as a newsletter, you help make our filtering better for yourself and every other customer."
But at the same time, the Redmond company is streamlining the process of unsubscribing to newsletters. No longer will users need to fight with the source themselves, they can just turn to the new one-click unsubscribe feature in Hotmail, and the email service will deal with the rest.
Categories as always nice, but through the latest refresh Hotmail is enabling customers to create custom categories.
"You can quickly create a new category and apply that category to all related messages at the same time – no searching for mail, no complex rules to create. You can categorize messages right in the message list with the new categories column. And categories show up as QuickViews right next to folders, so it's easy to find what you're looking for," Craddock added.
More importantly, Hotmail makes it extremely easy to move all messages from a specific source or in a certain category to an email folder, with the Categories, Sweep, and Schedule Cleanup folders working together.
And speaking of Scheduled Cleanup, this is another new Hotmail sign in feature. It's designed to remove all emails from a sender, with the exception of just the latest ones, that users might want to keep.
The last tool that will be available to Hotmail users involves a flagging mechanism capable of keeping important email at the top of the inbox, even if new messages come in.
'Now when you flag a message, it gets "pinned" to the top of your inbox and stays there, even as new email comes in. This means it is easy to keep track of your most important messages, right up front, all the time. What's more, you can even set up rules to automatically flag incoming mail from certain senders, so that your most important mail is always right there at the top of your inbox," Craddock explained.

Lamb shank may be time consuming, but its worth the effort. Paras Shah of Kat & Theo shows us the steps to this labor of love in the video above (or you can follow along in the recipe below!)
Kat & Theo's Braised Lamb Shank
Executive Chef Paras Shah
For Lamb:
4 lamb hind-shanks
1 onion, cut in half width-wise
1 carrot
1 head of garlic cut in half
2 stems each rosemary & thyme
3 bay leaves
6 whole dried figs
1 bottle dry red wine
2 whole cloves
1 star anise pod
3 Thai long peppers (or 10 black peppercorns)
Salt and pepper, to taste
Water, as needed
Olive oil, as needed
- Pre heat oven to 325 degrees F
- Season the shanks with salt and pepper. Place a Dutch oven on a medium flame and add enough olive oil to cover the bottom of the pan. Sear the lamb shanks until well browned and set aside.
- Meanwhile, place cut-sides of two onion halves over open flame or in a hot cast-iron skillet and cook until charred.
- Add the charred onion, carrot and cut head of garlic to Dutch oven and cook until caramelized. Add the rosemary, thyme and bay leaves and cook one minute. Deglaze the pan with half the bottle of wine, scraping up all the brown bits from the bottom, and add cloves, star anise, peppers and dried figs.
-Add the lamb shanks back to the pan and bring to a boil; then reduce to a simmer and put cover the Dutch oven. Place into the pre-heated oven and braise for 3 hours, or until tender but not falling off the bone.
- Once tender, set aside and let the lamb cool in the braising liquid. Strain out cooking liquid, skim the fat and simmer liquid to reduce by at least half.
- Once reduced, add the other half of the bottle of wine, and reduce the liquid by half again.
For the Rye Berries:
1 cup rye berries (or wheat berries, farro, or any other whole grain you would like)
1 carrot, small dice
1/4 rutabaga, small dice
2 parsnips, small dice
1/4 cup thick-cut lamb bacon, rendered until crispy, reserving some of the fat (pig bacon works as well)
4 fresh figs, cut into quarters
Salt and pepper, as needed
Water, as needed
- Cook the rye berries according to the cooking instructions on the package, or 3 parts water to 1 part rye berries; bring to a boil and simmer until tender.
- In a bowl, mix the root vegetables and season with salt and pepper and olive oil. Place on an oven-proof baking sheet and bake until browned and tender. You can also sauté until browned in a pan with a little olive oil.
- To finish, add the rendered bacon to the pan along with any remaining bacon fat and sauté the bacon and vegetables together, then add the rye berries and cook until hot.
- Using a blowtorch or oven flame, char the figs over fire, or roast in non-stick pan with olive oil.
To finish the dish:
- Add the lamb shanks back into reduce liquid in Dutch oven and cook over medium heat until the lamb shanks are well glazed.
- In a large serving bowl, add a base of the rye berry mixture with 4 pieces of the fig quarters around the plate. Place 1 lamb shank onto the bed of rye berries and pour some braising liquid lamb; then serve.

Mersal, has become a huge grosser in Tamil. Doubling to Vijay's star power the movie also got a great publicity with controversies surrounding it post release. The movie became a must watch for Tamil audience all over the world and also, hit combination of Atlee and Thalapathy worked their magic for festival period big time. The movie collected almost 150 crores gross in the first week and it is set to reach 200 crores too in the long run.
Sharath Marar, the producer of movies like Katamarayudu, Sardar Gabbar Singh has acquired the Telugu rights of the movie and he already dubbed the movie as Adirindhi and audio has been released as well. Reports suggested that the movie has been applied for a censor in Chennai a little late than expected and the producers are now worried if the movie will release for 27th date or not.
As per the reports coming in, the movie will open on Friday and booking has been opened in several centres too. As the movie became a huge hit for Thalapathy in Tamil, can it be his second hit in Telugu after Thuppakki. He has been looking to make an impact in Telugu as well but he hasn't been able to do so for some or the other reason. We have to wait and see, will Adirindi became a hit for him or will the same old story repeat. Also, with piracy and Tamil film releasing in many areas, it will be an uphill task!

A while back I shared a lovely little girl's portraits who had so graciously volunteered to model in front of my camera for a concept session. At that same time I photographed Kayla back in October, I also photographed Genesis who served as my second model.
Genesis is quiet, a little timid, and kind. She looked beautiful in her lovely dress and was very easy to photograph.
Happy Monday Friends!
