Kombucha is a drink with an age-old recipe originating in the far east. The Chinese referred to it as the "Immortal Health Elixir." In recent years, Kombucha has become popular with the health conscious looking for an alternative to fizzy drinks packed with artificial sweeteners and red dye whatever! At first glance, you might just think Kombucha is a fizzy, yellow, sour liquid that happens to be really fun to say. But with greater focus on health, especially gut health in recent years, this ancient recipe with perceived health benefits has gained immense popularity in the lives of the modern person.
[caption id="attachment_128931" align="alignnone" width="740"] SCOBY[/caption]
Kombucha is a fermented drink made from black tea and sugar – either cane sugar, fructose or honey. A symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast, known as SCOBY, is added to begin fermentation. The drink ferments and carbonates, making it fizzy like a soda. The end product contains vinegar, vitamins from the B group, probiotics, and acids, including acetic, gluconic and lactic acid. The bacteria in SCOBY also produce cellulose within the drink which acts as a shield to cells.

Grow Write Guild No. 2 - Dream Garden
I realize that it has been a while since I have posted one of these - in fact it has been a while since I have posted anything at all, but I'm going to keep on trying to keep this current. The big move changed a lot of things for us and I've had a difficult time getting back into the swing of things here.
This topic comes at a pretty good time, since it is the very beginning of a new season and there is not much I can do in the way of actual practical action. Right now my yard looks like this:
I'm going to have to wait a while on the planting!
I guess the garden of my dreams would be large enough to feed my family year round. It would be beautiful, and use permaculture techniques so that my food would be nutritious and benefit the environment. I would grow heirloom, open pollinated varieties and save my own seed so that I could have a hand in preserving agricultural heritage. Basically I would like to grow anything that my family needed: from cut flowers, to food, to Christmas trees! I would also be interested in having chickens as a part of my garden to help eat my weeds/scraps and to provide me with fresh eggs. I also would be interested at some point in keeping bees to help pollinate my garden and to harvest the honey.
While most of the things I have outlined are very practical, I would also like my garden to be a place where I can relax and enjoy the beauty of nature. I hope to be able to make it so that in every season the garden looks beautiful - not just in the spring and summer!
I guess while this was meant to be a "dream", it is still attainable as long as I can someday have the land to do it! Even in the mean time here while we are living in rentals and don't own our own land I am going to work at taking steps towards my dream garden.

Surat, June 26 (ANI): Textile traders in Surat, who are hit by global recession, high bank interests and soaring cotton prices, hope for some relief in the government's annual budget which is scheduled to be presented on July 6.
The textile industry of Surat has been feeling the heat of global financial crisis with export orders going down.
The industry used to be flooded with orders round the year and small units were busy expanding their operational capacities to meet the increased demand. However, this does not seem to be the case any more.
Anil Bhagwani, a garment exporter said that the Central Government should make special provisions for the export of garments.
"Our expectation is that right from the yarn weaving till the market, where finished garments are sold, the government should give more subsidy and as far as the finished garment is concerned, the government should make provisions for export so that the garment business flourishes," Bhagwani added.
Devkishen Mangani, spokesman for Textile Association, Surat, said that the audit limit, fixed by the Central Government at rupees 40 lakh must be increased to rupees two crores for the benefit of small traders.
"Our biggest demand is that around 20-25 years back, the Central government had set the audit limit at rupees 40 lakh and till now it's the same and has not been increased. If it's not increased, the small traders will not be able to progress. So we demand that it should be increased to two crores and also the Income Tax relaxation should be fixed at rupees three lakhs so that the small traders can come forward," Mangani added.
The Indian textile industry is one of the largest employment generators in the world.It is also one of the largest textile industries in the world second only to China. (ANI)

We repair, install, and maintain all brands of heaters and air conditioner units, including oil-fired systems. Think you might need a new HVAC unit or have your HVAC system repaired?

If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, contact ServicePlus!
We are committed to providing professional, dependable, high-quality service at a reasonable price. We offer a 100 percent money-back guarantee on all of our HVAC services and promise to resolve any issue within 48 hours. If we don't deliver on this promise, you get your money back! Contact us today for a free technical consult.
ServicePlus Specializes In:
HVAC Systems and Services
To make sure our customers stay warm in the winter months, we provide many services for electric and gas furnaces, ductless mini-split systems, heat pumps, high-efficiency heaters, climate zone control, and thermostat replacements and upgrades. Our team is experienced and skilled at installing a variety of HVAC systems for new homes. If you need a new heating system, we can replace your older equipment with a more energy-efficient one.

We'll also assist you in upgrading your HVAC system so that you achieve better energy savings. We are dedicated to providing exceptional HVAC services at a fixed, reliable price.

Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) Systems
Do you have someone in your home with allergies or asthma? Perhaps you live with someone who may have a long-term illness that has weakened his or her immune system. If any of these are the case, clean-air technology can make all the difference. Ultraviolet light systems can help contain and minimize irritants like mold and bacteria. They can also reduce the spread of viruses, cold and flu germs, and reduce smells and odors.
Did you know that drier air feels colder? Having a whole-home humidifier can increase indoor humidity levels, making it feel more comfortable. This leads to more efficient energy settings that save money. Proper humidification can also reduce the impact of colds, flus, and other respiratory ailments. Whether it's a HEPA air filtration system, Aprilaire whole-home humidifier, or a Wifi-enabled digital thermostat, we have extensive experience assisting customers in determining appropriate IAQ solutions for their needs. We would love to assist you, too! For a free consultation of your home's air quality, contact us today!
Water Heating Systems and Services
Hot water use is the second largest energy expense for homeowners aside from heating and cooling your home. Unlike other plumbing companies, we offer full-service hot water heater services. We repair, install, and maintain all makes and models of water heaters. If you need a new hot water heater or your current equipment repaired, make sure to call us today to learn more about our water heater services!
Plumbing Repairs and Installations
In addition to being a licensed HVAC contractor, ServicePlus is also a licensed plumbing contractor. Routine plumbing leaks and drips are no match for our team of experts, and neither are more complex jobs like drain or fixture repair.

Pool Heating Systems and Services
We install and service all makes and models of pool heaters, pool pumps, and pool filters. If you are having issues with your pool heaters or pumps, we would be happy to assist you.

We install and maintain all types of backup generators to ensure South Jersey residents don't have to go without power, and we'd be happy to discuss all of your backup generator needs.

ENERGY STAR is a voluntary U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) program that helps business owners and homeowners save money while protecting our climate by practicing superior energy efficiency. The ENERGY STAR program in partnership with New Jersey's Clean Energy Program and the Building Performance Institute is offering New Jersey homeowners (until June 30, 2017) financial incentives for installing energy efficient upgrades in your homes. Incentives include up to $4,000 in rebates, and also 0% interest financing (up to $10,000 with a 7-year maximum term) or 4.99% financing (up to $15,000 with a 10-year maximum term).
To get started, schedule your assessment (home energy audit) by contacting a BPI-accredited contractor such as ServicePlus. The contractor will assess and report on the current conditions in your house from top to bottom. ServicePlus will subsequently inspect your HVAC equipment, do a combustion safety test on appliances, inspect insulation levels, and look for energy-efficient mitigation opportunities. By watching this video, you can learn what to expect during your home energy assessment. After the audit, you will receive a report detailing recommended actions, along with any monetary incentives available to assist in payment for the upgrades.

Time is almost up for the embattled owners of Brisbane Roar, who will be stripped of their A-League licence if they fail to provide the club with an instant cash injection.
Only a miracle financial turnaround will save Indonesian conglomerate the Bakrie Group, which has been given one final warning by Football Federation Australia to clean up its act.
Players and staff are due to be paid their monthly wages on Tuesday and if they aren't delivered on time, together with a long-promised recapitalisation of the club and the immediate clearance of debts, the Roar will be in FFA hands by the end of the week.
"Everyone understands what's at stake. While the Bakrie Group's assurances have been comprehensive, it's time for action," FFA chief executive David Gallop said.
"The payment of salaries is due tomorrow [Tuesday], plus the commitment to clearing debts and recapitalising is due. Any slippage in these timelines will see the start of the process to revoke the Brisbane Roar A-League licence."
Gallop's ultimatum comes after months of hesitation from the governing body, which has watched on as the three-time champions have lurched from crisis to crisis over the past few months.
The Roar has repeatedly missed payroll deadlines, star midfielder Luke Brattan is agitating for a release, a string of angry creditors are chasing a litany of unpaid bills, and fans have vowed not to renew memberships until the Bakrie Group relinquishes control of the club.
All up, it has caused untold reputational damage to a club that only a few years ago was one of Australian sport's greatest success stories.
Two Bakrie Group representatives told FFA in a crisis meeting in Sydney last month of their intent to stay on as Roar owners for at least two more seasons, with a view to eventually selling the club at a profit.
But few of the promises they made in that meeting have been delivered upon and with the A-League season kicking off in less than a month, FFA can afford to wait no longer.
Nor, for that matter, can the Bakrie Group – the wind-up motion put forward by local pub Gambaro Hotel over a $30,000 debt is due for mention in court on Wednesday.
Former coach Mike Mulvey is also suing the club for nearly $300,000 plus damages for deceit and misleading conduct following his sacking last year.
Brisbane only narrowly avoided liquidation last month by addressing a $60,900 debt with the Queensland Rugby Union at the eleventh hour.
FFA is already in control of the Newcastle Jets, although it's believed the sale of that club to a consortium headed by Dundee United chairman Stephen Thompson is imminent.
A local Brisbane group has been waiting in the wings to rescue the Roar if required, but has been unwilling to take on the debts that have mounted during the Bakrie Group's ownership of the club.

April is Foot Health Awareness Month and at Long Island Foot & Ankle Group, PC, we would like to encourage patients to get more actively involved in the health and care of their feet by doing regular self-exams. Checking your feet on a regular basis will help you become more familiar with them and also enable you to spot problems promptly that require the attention of our foot and ankle surgeons, Dr. Russell Caprioli, Dr. Mary Ann Bilotti, Dr. John Haight or Dr. Marzana Mleczko. Early diagnosis and treatment of foot disorders almost always mean less invasive treatments and better outcomes. When evaluating your feet, you will want to check the following:
Skin Appearance—start by looking over your entire foot, top and bottom. Do you see any changes in skin color or notice any bruises, lumps or rashes? If you spot calluses or blisters, check your shoes to see if there are rough spots inside them or worn areas that may be causing friction or pressure on a specific part of your foot. Be alert to flaking skin and oozing as these may be signs of athlete's foot (especially if your foot is very itchy).
Nails—examine your nails to be sure that no ingrown toenails are forming. Thickening toenails, crumbling edges or discoloration may indicate a fungal infection. Be sure there are no jagged edges and that nails are trimmed straight across (but not too short).
Sensation—using the eraser end of a pencil, run it over the top, bottom and sides of your feet. You should have equal sensation in all parts of your foot. Symptoms such as pain, burning, tingling and/or numbness can all be indicative of a variety of foot disorders and should be reported to the podiatrist.
Flexibility—do you have good range of motion in your feet or ankles? You should be able to flex and rotate your feet easily. Check your toes by seeing if you are able to pick up a marble or a dish towel with them. Stand on a step with your heel hanging off the edge. Hold onto the railing and slowly let your heel dip below the stair. If you have pain or this is difficult to do, ask the podiatrist about foot stretches and exercises to increase flexibility.
Circulation—there should be no swelling around your ankles, or blue, red or purple coloration on your feet. Wounds or cuts that are slow to heal may also be a sign of a circulation deficit.
If a self-exam raises any red flags, contact our Valley Stream or Lake Success office by calling: (516) 825-4070 or (516) 327-0074.

Starbucks' adaptation to foreign cultures reaches Kyoto, Japan
Recently, Starbucks announced their intention to open a store in Japan's ancient capital, Kyoto, that has tatami mats and other local adaptations. Having recently visited Kyoto, CoffeeMan1 wondered about how the chain's iconic colors and modern design would fit into such a lovely historic city.
Koffee Kompanions has long understood the special draw of Japanese culture and design. That's why we make an insulated French press cover with Asian garden fabric and a Tea Tabard tea cozy from Asian flowers.
Starbucks has been in Japan for some years now and has made an effort to adapt their menus to Japanese tastes, but many of the stores in Tokushima, Tokyo, or Osaka have the same basic design as those in the United States. For Kyoto, though, CEO Howard Schultz understood the need to adapt their design to the city's blend of modern and historic impulses.
Starbucks Coffee Japan said the shop will use a two-story Japanese home that was built more than 100 years ago near the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Kiyomizu temple. The second floor will feature three rooms with tatami, or straw matting, traditionally used as a floor covering in Japanese homes.
The shop will face Ninenzaka, one of the popular streets leading from Kiyomizu temple to Kodaiji temple, which is lined with traditional shops. That location has led Starbucks to say they won't allow people to form lines in front of the shop and will also restrict the number of customers during peak hours to avoid disrupting the quiet atmosphere in the area.
A maxim for business, even small businesses like Koffee Kompanions, is adapting designs to customers' needs or interests. That's why we've added to our products a Kup Kap insulated cup lid with Asian flowers and cherry blossoms, as well as Japanese games and cherry blossom Kup Kollar drink sleeves.
The reactions to Starbucks' plans for Kyoto have been mixed, with some commenters considering the idea "cool" and others thinking of it as a "desperate attempt to be relevant." But the $14-billion international corporation's interest in adapting to foreign cultures isn't new. As an example, we'll talk about their local touches in India and partnership with Indian coffee roaster Tata Global Beverages in a future blog post, so stay tuned.

Today is day one of Bo's vacation.
We have so much jam packed into these 5 days it's not much of a rest but what can you do?
I woke up today thinking I was nuts for setting my eye appointment for 9am, who does that? Certainly not me, who is NOT a morning person.
Oh yeah wait I did. Cause I hate myself apparently.
I wanted to cuddle with him. To kiss him. To get all smoochy smoochy, steamy with morning breath under the covers.
Not sure if you are aware of this, but that shit, right there, is love. Kissing someone who's breath smells like a cat done crawled inside their mouth and died, and knowing yours is just as bad if not worse. That's a toxic combo my friends. If you are willing to test fate by kissing with these two bombs, that's love. Love in all it's messy glory.
I wanted to get all down and dirty. Not like we could but I wanted to fake it for a while. Get that heat a pumping through me so that while I waited for my name to be called I had something to think about. His hands. Those lips....those hands....that...yeah you get the point.
Except that was not in the cards and I will not lie, I wasn't happy. At first. The munchkins came to my attention, sounding as if they were tearing down the kitchen cabinets. I came jiggling into the kitchen ready to snarl and bite and chew them a new one when Bailey says 'We wanted juice but there were no cold ones. So I put some in the fridge. See?' all proud as if he'd just climbed Mt. Everest. He's sickly with a fever that is playing peekaboo right now. And he's all smiles because look Mama, I put juice in the fridge!
I wish I didn't have appointments today, I wish I could just stay home and chill with these weirdly wonderful people that is my family. All mine. I wanna get in a big dog pile and just breath them in.
Have I mentioned having Bo home is like crack for me? I swear my moods go from one end of the spectrum to the other with him in the room. I'm all crazy wired, energetic, and upbeat today. While yesterday I had been all down and dumpy...

When the time comes to celebrate a special occasion and you want to look beyond the Bevois Strip for a bit more class, Lime Bar on Lodge Road offers a chic alternative. Only opened under new management in 2010, Lime Bar is one of Portswood's recent additions to the drinking scene; however, with its vibrant green exterior, this cocktail bar does not want to be missed.
Inside, the venue is intimate and the bar can quickly get smothered on crowded nights. If you are lucky enough to score a high bar stool, my advice would be to park there and enjoy a sociable glance through the cocktail menu, whilst their two members of staff work their way towards you. The interior is thematic in colouring, but successfully avoids going overboard with the lime green decor and the light, open atmosphere of the bar is effectively contrasted by the club-like ambience of the back room that offers both a DJ booth and acoustic live music sets, depending on the night. The bar is also popular with locals, diffusing the intensity of a student venue and creating a more diverse atmosphere than your average Portswood pub.
On my first visit, Lime Bar's boast to 'Southampton's best Mojito' may have had credibility, however, on my next visit their signature drink was disappointingly flavourless, with a surprising lack of their eponymous fruit. As the bar are currently hiring, I will kindly attribute this to a beginner employee, so for those who have Mojito skills to offer, see their website for hiring details. The menu consists of eight cocktails, ranging from the old favourites – 'Cosmopolitan', to the slightly more unique- 'The Squashed Frog', but the menu's gem is the slightly more pricy, yet larger 'Guilty Pleasure', a fruity fusion of lychee, apple and lime, which is more than worth the extra pound. A new menu is soon to be launched.
If you are looking to celebrate a birthday in a tasteful fashion, Thursday night's 2-4-1 on cocktails is a perfect excuse to get the boys into shirts and the girls into heels, offering two cocktails for £4.25 and a pint of Carlsberg for £2. Pitchers are also available for reasonable prices. An early start at Lime Bar is complimented well by Thursday nights at Bliss, or is less than five minutes walk from Jesters for those who just can't stay away. The venue also opens to screen key football and rugby matches that are often accompanied by various drinks deals if you don't fancy cramming into Varsity for once, and for those after a more intellectually challenging evening, Lime Bar hosts a quiz night every Tuesday.
Still finding its feet amid Southampton's thirsty population of students, this cocktail bar is a refreshing new flavour for those who want to celebrate a birthday or fancy an evening out of their Jesters-shoes, and should be given chance to impress.

About photographers
A great branding or product photograph can bring professional polish to your business and help set you apart from the competition. Unlike with stock photos, you won't have to worry that everyone else is using that same shot. Plus, a good DSLR shot with the proper lighting equipment will look so much better than a blurry iPhone photo.
Professional photographers use artificial and/or natural lighting to snap pictures of products, people, places or whatever you need. Photographers typically either focus on studio work, or specialise in outdoor, location based work.
On Twine, you'll find talented professional photographers to photograph whatever product, branding or other content you need.

Livin' Happy TV Special
Livin' Happy TV Special
Classic primetime TV special from 1974. Because we wanted to share our joy in the Lord with others, our family produced a one-hour special program Livin' Happy that was aired on national TV in prime time in 1974. We had a joyful time producing this show in Nashville, Tennessee. Our son Lance wasn't born yet, but all the other children sang and we all shared our joy in the Lord. Recently this program was remastered in DVD format so we could share it with you again in your homes.

Our process for Scheduling podcasts
Let's start with the problem: Maintaining my calendar sucks.
It's not that I'm "too busy" or that I'm some sort of special delicate snowflake. I'm just trying to navigate this crazy world of 24/7 push notifications. You know, that feeling that I'm behind time the second I wake up every day.
That's the blessing and curse of how the internet works.
Yes, we're all busy. Get over it, Jeff. Get over yourself.
Indeed. But that's not the point of this post and video. Being busy is not the problem I'm trying to solve.
Let's redefine the problem
Problem: I don't like having awkward conversations.
Life is good when I invite guests onto our Jumpstart Podcast, and they verbally accept.
The part I don't like? When we spend 2 weeks trying to find a time that works for both parties. We're scheduling a podcast episode, not open heart surgery.
As I'm trying to find a recording date with guests, telling my schedule sounds something like this:
"I'm free from 8 to 10 in the morning on Wednesday… 2 months from now."
It feels like I'm giving everyone the brush-off. Basically telling the podcast guests that I am too important, and there's no opening at all for the next 60 days.
But that's not really the case, I just have to awkwardly explain that I'm going to be on 3 continents and 5 time zones over the next two months.
This is the reality of the digital nomad lifestyle. I've been living out of a suitcase since 2015, and I bring my business on the road. I change location a lot, and that means I can't be sure if I'm able to take a phone call or if the internet will work the following Wednesday.
Minnesota Nice, a term we assign to people who are passive aggressive about not doing something at all to avoid an awkward conversation, has led to a fair share of missed opportunities.
Often, I can't fit someone in until 2 months from now, and at the same time, I'll desperately need someone as a guest for the coming Thursday (which is in 2 days).
Surely this can't go on if we want to grow the business. I talked about project planning on day #21 of this 90 day challenge, that getting processes in place is the No. 1 thing we wanted to do in 2018. And we are using Asana to map out the podcast process.
But getting a guest scheduled for a recording date/time is still a chore. With my traveling and the time zones differences, it's still hard to tell when I'll be available to do recordings.
I looked into many calendar scheduling tools and tested a lot of them. Many of them seemed too lightweight or clunky, and didn't do what I needed it to do.
And then I found one that I loved – Acuity Scheduling.
It's great, and I want to share with you why I love it so much.
Our podcast scheduling process using Acuity Scheduling
Acuity Scheduling is the solution to our previously defined problem of trying not to give everyone the brush-off.
It started with using Acuity Scheduling for our podcast scheduling process, but the tool is now a vital piece in many areas of the business.
I want to show you exactly why we like it by sharing some insights into how Acuity Scheduling works. We'll actually go into the tool, and I'll show you how we use it to improve our podcast process.
1. Multiple calendars (and family calendar)
You can add multiple calendars on Acuity Scheduling.
Under business settings, I can view my availability based on all the calendars I've added. It works with Google Calendar, iCloud, Outlook Office 365, just to name a few.
At the time of this video recording in January, I was still in the US trying to get ahead of the game, batch recording these videos. This episode doesn't go live until now, in mid February. I traveled to Hungary late January, and it was noted on my calendar, so the system will block out dates when I'm not available. So no one could make an appointment when I'm traveling for work or spending the holidays with family.
Acuity Scheduling consolidates all my calendars and allows people to book time slots with me according to my availability.
2. Intake Forms
To schedule the podcast, guests click to book a time slot on my calendar. After that, they'll be prompted to answer a few questions. We set these questions up on intake forms.
We do a mini pre-interview and ask them a few questions to get some basic information.
We always start off each episode by asking the guest about their first breakthrough project that got them into digital marketing. We ask each and every one of our guests this question. The guest will be much more ready to articulate this since they've actually written it out once already.
We ask them how they would like to be introduced, and any link or plugs they would want us to share. We use this information in both the audio introduction at the start of the recording, as well as in our writeup.
We also ask them about topics that interest them lately. I can use this during the conversation, to probe and share more about these topics during the recording.
The guest will also share a headshot of themselves and their postal address. We use it to order a cartoon avatar. We use this cartoon to make the podcast artwork, and a thank-you postcard is sent to the guest after the episode goes live.
All this information is collected upfront to produce our podcast, and we're letting the guest go at their own pace.
What used to be much awkward back and forth emails have been consolidated into one link. This link goes to a secret page on our website that's embedded with the Acuity Scheduling. And all the information we need is gathered in one spot. It has really transformed this part of the business.
Works for more than just podcasts
I don't use Acuity Scheduling only for our podcast process. I schedule pre-sale calls on this system as well.
It's helpful for my schedule to be readily available to view. It helps to inform my wife about my schedule as she can see it on the calendar. It's really been a wonderful addition to the business.
3. Multiple appointment types
Aside from using it to schedule our Jumpstart Podcast, we also use Acuity Scheduling for other types of appointments. This happens in the appointment types area.
Now, what type of appointments do I schedule with this tool? I thought you'd never ask.
I do 1-on-1 calls with students in the Agency Jumpstart Course.
I schedule meetings for our apprenticeship program. As you might recall, I've adopted an apprenticeship model in Jeffalytics. Apprentices will join my team, and I teach them everything that I know about a topic and also get them invested in growing the business. We've got some awesome apprentices and I use Acuity Scheduling to set up meetings with them.
We also do case study calls with students, pre-sale calls and training calls.
I have all of these set up as different appointment types. And all I need to do is to click on a type of appointment and either send someone the direct link to the scheduler or embed it on the website.
I've been very happy with this process and it has saved me so much time.
4. Add padding to meetings before/after
You can add padding before and after your appointments.
For calls or meetings that takes up quite some mental bandwidth, I'll add a 30 minutes padding before and after the appointments. This will make sure that I don't have appointments scheduled back to back.
I have plenty of time to prepare and mentally unwind for appointments like podcast recordings or 1-on-1 calls.
5. Very easy schedule management
Managing your schedule is easy. Whenever I have to go out of town for speaking engagements or to attend conferences, I won't be able to record podcasts. There's not much room for that when I'm traveling, and I don't always have the recording equipment with me. So I block off that time.
I don't allow people to schedule meetings when I have family time. Or when I'm in a loud place or the internet connection at the AirBnB is not very stable. I'll block off these times, then I don't have to worry about it, and I don't have to deal with it.
6. Embed on my website
You can embed the Acuity Scheduler on your website and give someone the link to that webpage. With this, you can put more customized information around the scheduler and give it more context (and humor).
For our podcast process, we're using just one (secret) webpage, and we're sending every guest there.
Having a scheduling page saves us time and made everything more efficient. I am much less of a bottleneck on the process, as my team can share the link as well.
It's simple and clear when I am available. Everyone can see what's on the calendar because we've pulled the information out of my brain and onto Acuity Scheduling.
You can probably tell that I am a big fan of this tool! If you're having scheduling nightmares like I used to have, then you should definitely give Acuity Scheduling a try.

Modelling Services
Computational modelling (numerical analysis) is a specialised service that we offer either standalone, or in conjunction with our project planning and execution services. Computational models break down the physics of a complex problem to allow simulation through high performance computer software to represent the performance of the actual system. While not necessary for every engineering problem, the appropriate use of computational models can greatly improve the efficiency and optimise the design of a clean energy system. Specific expertise includes:
Our team draws on extensive prior experience in computational modelling for clean energy applications, including:
- Dynamic energy modelling of HVAC, lighting, building envelope and electrical loads in a 48-storey, 70,000 m2 office tower in Perth, Australia. The building was designed to meet 5 star NABERS office energy efficiency rating.
- Computational Fluid Dynamics modelling of a 77 MW and a 25 MW hydroelectric facility intake to optimize intake design, protection berm placement, reduce head loss and maximize sediment scouring during sluicing operations.
- Computational Fluid Dynamics modelling of wind flow for around three apartment buildings and an entertainment complex.
- Computational Fluid Dynamics modelling of air pollution dispersal from a research laboratory and a train tunnel.
- Energy modelling of a sea water cooling system at a coastal office building.

The definitive beginner's guide to the top tax breaks most homeowners are likely to encounter. This is a signature DeadlineNews.Com article you can't get anywhere else. Buy a copy, share it, but don't steal it.
by Broderick Perkins
© 2008 DeadlineNews.Com
Deadline Newsroom Special - Your home is more than just a shelter from the elements.
It's also a tax shelter -- about a dozen times over.
Here's an introduction to the 12 most common federal tax breaks -- new and old -- you are likely to encounter as a homeowner.
Keep in mind, tax rules and regulations are often complicated, confusing and rarely easy to decipher. Chances are, you'll need professional help to make sure you benefit from as many tax breaks as possible. A tax pro can also help you with California's state tax rules which sometimes jibe with federal rules, but sometimes don't.
First, two terms you need to know.
Deduction -- A tax "deduction" reduces your taxable income. Less income to tax means less taxes to pay. For example, a $100 tax deduction reduces your $50,000 taxable income to $49,900.
Credit -- A tax "credit" is a dollar-for-dollar reduction in your actual taxes due. A $100 tax credit reduces your $1,000 tax bill to $900.
Two of the newest home-based tax breaks are available from the federal Mortgage Forgiveness Debt Relief Act of 2007.
1. Forgiveness of Debt Tax. In some cases, when a lender allows the homeowner to forgo repayment of principal and or interest the borrower owes and discharges the debt, the debt is considered ordinary, taxable income. The new law allows certain taxpayers to exclude discharged debt from taxes, provided the lender discharges the debt in 2007, 2008 or 2009.
The amount of debt that can be excluded is limited to $2 million and the exclusion is only available for loans used to buy, build or substantially improve a principal residence. Vacation homes, investment properties and other second homes don't qualify.
"California does not conform to this new rule and you may still be subject to California taxes. It gets complicated," said Sam Kahn, an enrolled agent with Tax Reducers in San Jose.
2. Mortgage Insurance. The relief act also extends federal tax relief for qualified home owners who pay mortgage insurance. Qualified borrowers can deduct the full amount of their private or government mortgage insurance if their insured mortgage originates between 2007 and 2010. The initial one-year provision for the deduction was set to expire Dec. 31, 2007.
Those qualified are families with an adjusted gross income of $100,000 or less. Families with incomes up to $109,000 are eligible for a partial deduction.
"For people who can't get a mortgage without mortgage insurance, the fact that it is now deductible is wonderful," said Leon Sivils who is an enrolled agent and real estate agent with HomeAmerica.net in San Jose
3. Energy Tax Credits. Another relatively new tax break was made possible by the Energy Policy Act of 2005. Tax credits of up to $500 are available for upgrading heating and air conditioning systems, insulation, windows, doors and thermostats, caulking, installing metal roofs and for otherwise putting the bite on energy waste. Qualified solar energy and fuel cell systems can net tax credits of up to $2,000. Related tax credits are also available for consumers who install clean-fuel vehicle refueling property at their principal residence.
4. Mortgage Loan Interest. This is considered the Mother Of All Tax Breaks, because mortgage interest payments comprise a large portion of your mortgage payment in you loan term's early years. Mortgage interest is deductible on a maximum of $1 million in mortgage debt secured by a first and second home. The $1 million level applies to married tax filers who file jointly and single taxpayers. Married taxpayers who file separately split the maximum 50-50.
Kahn says, "The $1 million applies basically to the amount of the original purchase, plus any capital improvements. It's not just a blanket $1 million."
Home equity loan interest is also deductible, but limited to the smaller of $100,000 (half as much for each member of a married couple if they file separately), or the total of your home's fair market value as determined by a complicated formula. You'll really need professional help deciphering this one.
5. Home Improvement Loan Interest. The interest on a home improvement loan is also deductible, but calculated differently. You can deduct all the interest on a home improvement loan, provided the work is a "capital improvement" rather than repairs, or maintenance. Capital improvements typically increase your home's value (say, because you added a room), prolong it's life (a new roof) or adapt it to new uses (Universal design improvements to assist older people or people with disabilities). You can get tax benefits from repair work (painting, repairing, etc.), but only when you sell your home. However, you could use a home equity loan to make repairs and deduct the interest -- up to the available limits.
6. Points. Points, each equal to 1 percent of the loan principal, are charged by lenders as a loan cost on some loans. Refinanced mortgage points are deductible too, but only when they are amortized over the life of the loan. Once you refinance a second time, the balance of the old points from a refinanced loan offer an immediate write off, as you begin to amortize the new points.
"There's one booby trap here for the unwary. If you refinance through the same lender, then the remaining unamortized points on the existing loan can't be deducted as a lump sum if it is replaced with a new loan from the same lender," said Leonard Williams, a certified public accountant in Sunnyvale.
7. Property Taxes. Property taxes or real estate taxes are fully deductible. Any local, city or state property tax refunds reduces your federal property tax deduction by an equal amount.
8. Capital Gains Exclusion. Home buying investors' best tax shelter comes from provisions in the Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997 which allows married taxpayers who file jointly to keep, tax free, up to $500,000 in profit on the sale of a home used as a principal residence for two of the prior five years. The amount is halved for those filing single or separately. The exclusion is available as often as you qualify (one home every two years) on an unlimited number of homes.
"The capital gains tax exclusion is huge around Silicon Valley," said Russell Barnett, an enrolled agent in San Jose.
Barnett says years of home price appreciation has piled on the gains for many homeowners. When it's time to sell, a half million in untaxed gain opens a lot of financial planning doors.
"Where else are you going to get tax free capital gain like that?" asked Barnett.
Kahn says the home can be owned by either spouse.
"It doesn't matter which spouse, as long as at least one spouse owns it," said Kahn.
Alfred Giovetti certified public accountant says "Tax preparers need to counsel their individual income taxpayers (clients) to be careful to establish a permanent file for the house, similar to a permanent file for vehicles, investments, and other long lived assets. This permanent file should contain, in chronological order, all work performed on the house, all refinance HUD-1 documents, all financing paid on home improvements and the home improvements themselves, and basically all money spent on the house just to be sure nothing is missed due to a misunderstanding.
Many items such as fences, outbuildings, permanent landscaping, trees, bushes, flowers, and other improvements outside of the house count toward the basis of the home just like new kitchens, roofs, bathrooms, additions, sunrooms. Items placed inside the house also increase basis, such as washers, dryers, refrigerators, stoves, light fixtures, carpets, and drapes that might be or will be sold with the house.
Taxpayers can discuss the file and what is in the file yearly with their tax professional at tax time or perhaps after tax time at a special appointment. The tax professional can give additional advice concerning how to keep the file. Many taxpayers get confused by the IRS statement that taxpayers only need keep their tax records for three years and forget the numerous exceptions to this general rule.
9. Home-Based Business Deduction. Home-based business owners who use a percentage of their home exclusively for business can deduct the same percentage of certain home-related costs. Included are a percentage of insurance and repair costs, utility bills, improvements and depreciation. You may still have to face a recapture tax if you've taken a depreciation deduction because of the home-based business.
Kahn says, "You can also deduct a percentage of your mortgage interest and real estate taxes to reduce your self-employment tax as well as income tax and put the rest of your mortgage and property taxes on Schedule A."
10. Selling Costs and Capital Improvements. When you sell your home, you can reduce any taxable capital gain by the amount of your selling costs, which include real estate commissions, title insurance, legal fees, advertising and inspection fees. Costs typically stemming from decorating or repairs -- painting, wallpapering, planting flowers, maintenance, and the like -- are no longer considered deductible selling costs.
11. Moving Costs. A move triggered by a new job comes with some deductible moving costs. To qualify, you must meet certain requirements including, moving within one year of starting your new job, moving 50 miles farther from your old home than your old job was and working full-time at the new job for 39 of 52 weeks following the move. Deductions include travel or transportation costs and expenses for lodging and shipping an storing your household goods.
"The deduction for lodging doesn't include temporary housing but in transit housing plus one night at the new employment location," said Kahn.
12. Mortgage Tax Credit. Mortgage Credit Certificates (MCCs) allow qualifying low-income, first-time home buyers to take a mortgage interest tax credit of up to 20 percent (the amount varies by local jurisdiction) of the mortgage interest payments made on a home. This credit is available every year you keep the qualifying loan and live in the house purchased with the certificate. To benefit, you must enter your local MCC program and adhere to its guidelines.

2017 : Decor Trends
Here are some of the trends I've noticed for 2017 as far as color palettes and decor. I'd love to hear what you love AND hate about this year's fads. Personally, I'm really excited about the dark green accent walls I keep seeing. As much as I love minimalism and white walls, deep down I need so much color in my life!
Dark Accent Walls:
Same Color Furniture & Walls
I'm sure there's a shorter way to write that...But I have to say that I'm just not a big fan of this trend. I love contrast, so this just seems unnatural to me. What are your thoughts?
This image below is from when Pinterest predicted 2017's decor trends:
I think this is gorgeous!!! My only issue with wallpaper is the stress involved with installation and then when the trends change and you need to remove it. That seems like such a headache to me, which is why I chose to paint a wallpaper-like design on my wall instead:
That way, when I get sick of it (which, let's be honest - it's inevitable) - I can just paint over it! :)
& finally - I found this on Pinterest, it's horrible and hilarious and you must click it!! :

I'm glad that color is back. Having one wall with a pop of color looks great - then use that color and variations of that color for curtains, pillows, accent chair:)

Folding Leaf Kitchen Tables - Our lives are very different today. We have families that are smaller, we eat on the run. However, we wish to really have a spot to start our day with a cup of tea as well as a light breakfast or share a sandwich at the end of a busy workday. We have lots of choices for kitchen table sets when we outfit our kitchens to suit modern life.
How large is the family? Should you reside alone or in the event you are a couple, look at a small café table with some of comfortable chairs. In case you believe that more is more cheerful and possess a growing family, you may want to look with a round or oblong table at kitchen table sets; it lets you squeeze in two or a folding chair because they don't have corners. Look at your space and make an effort to imagine the tabletop at different levels.
Once you've got an idea about shape and the size of the table, you can begin looking for kitchen table sets. In the event you've got a dinette store that is local, stop in and browse. You'll see all styles and materials of kitchen table sets here. Would you rather have clean- Mission, Scandinavian, Modern or lined Shaker styles? You have a few other choices, as well, although kitchen table sets come in just about any wood you're able to envision. Locate a wooden table with a marble, granite, tile, or slate top should you want to blend materials.
Whether you choose a wicker pedestal base, an elaborate metal base, or a solid wooden base, you will find that the table with a glass top keeps the area in your kitchen seeming light and open. The chairs in kitchen table sets are where the rubber hits the road. Selecting chairs independent from the table provides you with relaxation, fit and the appearance that works best for your own family.

Ongoing research tells us that who we are is how we lead. In other words, our personality and the behaviours that we demonstrate have a significant impact on our ability to influence others. Leadership behaviour comes from the essense of who we are as individuals.
The study of personality is well advanced, yet a number of myths perpetuate. One of these concerns our supposed preference for being 'left brain' or 'right brain' thinkers.
Some recent work from the University of Utah debunks this myth.

An amazing mix, marine mammals and other species!
Today's sightings: Humpback whales, a Minke whale, Stellar Sea Lions, Dall's porpoises, Harbour seals, Black-tailed deer, Bald Eagles, Rhinoceros and Cassin's Auklets, Black Oystercatchers, Belted Kingfishers and Gull species.
The month of August is an interesting time to be on the water in this region. It is when the North Island experiences its warmest weather. Boaters have nick-named this month as Fogust which describes our month so far, perfectly. As well, food is abundant as different salmon species make their way up to the rivers to spawn and so we experience a variety of whales, which we often get to observe feeding. It is certainly the busiest month in regards to tourists who are traveling the length of Vancouver Island, in hope of seeing the wildlife Canada is best known for. It truly is a gem of a place to visit and for those of us that live here, we are proud of our back yard.
Humpbacks and Minke whales were the highlights of our tours today, not to mention the large group of Stellar Sea lions we viewed cruising relatively near our boat. We recognised half of the Humpbacks we viewed today which included Inukshuk, Blackpearl and Argonaut. It wasn't hard to find the whales even from a distance away, as one breached clear out of the water at least twice as though it was literally showing us 'Here I am'. As we slowly meandered towards it, the breaches changed to tail slaps, and then the pectoral fins, the side flippers were being slapped against the surface of the sea. As though a fire cracker was going off, the sound echoed across the Strait to reach our keenly listening ears.
On our afternoon tour, the highlight was the viewing of a Humpback whale named Freckles who was observed bubble-net feeding. It seems this whale has now also perfected the technique, with perfect bubble-net stitching seen on the surface of the water followed by the whale lunging up through the centre of the bubble-net while feasting, its mouth gaping wide open. Again and again we witnessed the bubble net sequence and the viewing was phenomenal!
It was a mix of weather today, overcast and patchy fog, but with a forest so lush with greens so rich, it seems though the sun is shining even on these cloudy days. The Western Hemlocks, Sitka Spruce and Western Red Cedar trees line the coastal islets, islands and mountains, like constant companions. The old man's beard (lichen) hanging from the many branches add to the powerful feeling that everything has its place. In spring it is a delight to watch the many birds utilizing this lichen or dried seaweed or drift sticks, to use for their well-needed nest.
We sighted four Black-tailed deer during our tours out today, literally hundreds of Seals made it on our wildlife count and we had a beautiful passing of Dall's Porpoise. The one thing that is truly delightful about fog is the beautiful silence it creates. It is as though the very mist of salt and water-vapour is acting like a blanket, softening all sounds. It encourages us to talk softly and quietly while we watch in awe the magic of this magnificent place.
