creating your own self-care toolbox
Last week I shared a bit about my experience stepping away from a plant-based diet and how I was experiencing lots of positive effects from bring more protein and less carbohydrates into my daily routine. And although this is true, it's only part of the story
Shifting my macronutrient ratios is just one small piece of why I feel good. The truth is, there was a lot ( A LOT) of groundwork I did in reshaping my relationship with my body and food so that I could be at peace with both.
I wanted to write about it, not to get other people to also eat the exact same way as me, but to open up a very important conversation about nutrition and wellness and how they relate to mental and emotional health.
I write a lot about this on Instagram, but I wanted to write a post here about the foundations of a positive relationship with food and body before I continue to share more about specifics of what I like to eat.
Because if nothing else I've learned that:
HOW you eat and How you think about what you eat is much more important than WHAT you eat.
So here's the back story:
Ever since I was in middle school, I had a disordered relationship with food and my body. Like many people, I tried to control what I ate in an attempt to control what my body looked like. This strategy, which is the foundation strategy of all diets and eating disorders, did not serve me AT ALL in the long run and created way more stress, anxiety and fear around food and my body than I ever initially had. The last ten years for me have been about shifting away from this illusion of control and working to find a way to make peace with my body and the food I put into it so that I could participate in my life fully and happily.
Fast forward to today and through a number of different practices; wellness books, mindfulness, meditation, yoga, intuitive eating + self-care practices I truly have been able to change my relationship with food and my body. Which is something at times I never thought I would actually, honestly be able to say.
its been these practices that have gotten me to the place I am, not any specific type of diet, meal plan or macro-nutrient combination.
Did you read that correctly?
Healing my relationship with food and my body has zero to do with what I do or do not eat.
K, good. Glad we are on the same page.
Because, the truth is, you could be eating the healthiest food out there, but if you continue to fuel yourself with toxic thoughts and experience guilt + shame about everything you eat and what you look like, then you're still going to feel bad after eating that glowing green smoothie.
Let me explain this in a little more detail:
What we think about our bodies directly relates how we feel in our bodies and the level of energy we have.
The thoughts we think stimulate different types neurotransmitters (electric messengers in our brains) which then stimulate release of hormones (chemical messengers in our bodies) that both create and contribute to our stress levels, emotions moods and energy levels.
So all those high anxiety thoughts regarding guilt, shame and fear about what you ate or what you're going to eat?
Yeah, those stimulate our nervous system to shift into its high stress "fight-or-flight" reaction state called the Sympathetic Nervous System. When our Sympathetic Nervous System is active, we have decreased ability to digest and metabolize our food AND increase levels of Cortisol (the stress hormone) running through our veins. Cortisol causes us to store fat because it thinks our body is in danger. Fat storage is one of our most basic, evolutionary survival instincts.
So moral of the story: when we berate ourselves for eating that brownie that we said we weren't going to? Our body hears us and reacts in an equally stressed out way.
So what can you do?
Work to shift your thoughts first and trust that the food piece will fall into place after (because it will).
It takes time, patience and practice to change your relationship with your body and food. It also takes a lot of courage to confront and address the fear behind those thoughts and behaviors. But its totally possible and completely worth it if you want to create lasting change and sustainable practices around your health and wellness.
Here are some strategies that have transformed my relationship with my body and food:
1. Intuitive Eating:
Intuitive Eating is a non-diet strategy for healing your relationship with food. Rather than looking for external cues on what you should eat and how much (diets, calories, weight) you tune into your own internal cues of hunger, satiety and fullness. You use gentle nutrition to guide your choices, but ultimately it's your Intuition that guides you. Because, the simple fact is, our bodies are very good at telling us what to eat, how much and when is enough. The problem is, we have gotten so far away from our Intuition around food, that we have totally lost touch with how to eat. Once I was able to tune back into my own wisdom around food, I was able to use nutrition principles as a tool for honing in on the details of energy levels. Get the difference? Trust yourself FIRST, use the benefits of science second. Here's more details on the Ten Guiding Principles of Intuitive Eating.
2. Legalize ALL Food:
I learned this life-changing concept from a Master Class I took with Isabel Foxen Duke. I highly recommend checking out her website and blog if you're struggling with a disordered relationship with food.
The idea with allowance is that you take the "charge" away from food. So instead of classifying certain foods as good and some as bad and some as horrible, you actually make them all neutral. In this way you "Legalize" your food so that no one type of food as an unnecessary power over you- the kind that creates: just one more bight, can't put it down- gotta throw it away so I don't eat the whole thing- type of relationship with food. When your foods are all emotionally neutral, these situations naturally fall-away overtime.
3. Address your Body Image issues:
So here's the question:
Has hating your body gotten you any closer to loving it?
Without even thinking about it personally, we can notice from basic logic that hating something is not going to result in loving it. But it's weird, because this is a strategy many people unconsciously engage in. Many people never address their body image issues because they think they don't have to: We have been brain-washed by the media and pop-science to think that if we just stick to our healthy eating a little longer, we won't have any body image issues, because our perfect, dream body is at the end of XYZ nutrition or exercise plan. Well, this simply isn't true. If we want to make peace with our bodies in the future we have to live and practice that peace NOW. We've got to drop the comparison to all the glossy, photo-shopped ideals and start connecting with real images of real bodies that are similar to our own.
I know it's really hard to go from hating or disliking your body/ parts of your body right into loving them. And that's where ACCEPTANCE comes in. Maybe we can't go directly from dissatisfaction to body-love, but we can shift from dissatisfaction to acceptance.
So think of acceptance like your bridge. If you can practice accepting fully where you are, even if it's not exactly where you want to be. And practice allowing yourself to be as you are, you are so much closer to one day loving your body than you ever will be continuing to hate it. And this is where my next tip comes in.
4. Establish a self-care routine:
For along time my definition of health was limited to diet and exercise. One of the most profound things I did in my healing journey was to expand my definition of wellness to include mental, physical, emotional and spiritual wellness. Within this holistic view, our well-being is a multilayered state of existence that depends on a wide variety of factors from the thoughts we think, to the food we eat, to the way we move, sleep, rest and play. I have come to depend on a variety of different practices: long walks outside, DIY organic facials, meditations, aromatherapy, Angel Cards, journaling, audio-books, restorative yoga. Because my fear was directly around body image, it was super important for me to create a long list of practices to make me feel better that had nothing to do with food or exercise.
Start your own LIST and begin to diversify your toolbox for healing and self- care... <3

Price Increase
bumped to other thread
simple higher gold prices more people will quit ... everybody have some limits i think they try to cross mine ...
I am trying to understand the changes to the gold price. The justification given is that the GPB-USD fluctuation. But Travian Games is based in Germany so the GBP-USD exchange rate appears to be irrelevant?!?
If you look at the GPB-EUR fluctuation over the last 5 years (the period given in the justification), you can see that over these 5 years that the exchange rate is basically constant (below). Actually, it has gone down slightly. In fact, 2 years ago, the exchange rate went up to 1.4 which meant that TravianGames was getting 82% more earnings on foreign exchange from UK servers. At this time they did not discount gold due to currency fluctuations. Can I please have a response about this discrepancy as I do not understand the justifications given for the 12% increase in gold based on realising the foreign exchange difference over the period stated.
I have also checked an inflation justification. The inflation in Germany over the last 5 years (cumulative) was 7.49%. If you take the current exchange rate between the GBP and the Euro and multiply it by 7.49%, you arrive at a figure that is (just) less than the 5 year exchange rate. So this does not justify the 12% increase either?
You can make the argument that it is to make it constant across servers - but that is not fair. We all know that some servers are cheaper - it should be linked to cost of living, and that is what currency fluctuation and inflation is all about...
Ok, i could say i'm happy with the price increase, but i want something in return.
NPC to cost 2 gold instead of 3. Make the Travian Plus cost 8 gold per week to extend.
When did a gold promo last time was? How about a 50% off gold promo? i don't want to sound too silly but how about 75% off?
When people leave,... there is no coming back.
Hello Everyone
I am not here to argue any stats or facts based on the post about the price increase. It is way over my rank and not part of it.
I do want to say though that your feedback is being watched and read.
I will also add that posts that are only to flame or are posted with rumors or unfounded accusations will be removed without notice.
Discussion is a great thing as it is communicating but creating stories where none exists will be removed.
Thanks for the brief interruption.
How about enabling reactions on the thread that announces the gold price increase ? as if you people don't make enough money from this game, really sad to see this
What rumours, flames or unfounded accusations have there been that its warranted to make that warning? Feels more like you're warning us to shut up.
Trust me to post in a thread without reading it! Not happy, as Cretin has said the rates do not justify the change.
A £5 increase on a large packet is insane! You cannot void inflation and then proceed to accumulate it in one. Basic knowledge!
I will be back with stats and figures and more furore once the footy is over!
P.S. I assume this is why Matt stepped down? He wanted no part in it?
There's only so many times you can shoot yourself in the foot Travian. If it aint broke, don't fix it... but it is broke, and broke bad, there were over 20k per UK server when I started playing and now is around 400 probably less if the bots are taken into account. And to fix the dwindling numbers ???? increase the price of gold (needed to play really) . It's a bad bad move and I for one will never play again unless this suicidal decision is reversed. Do not call our bluff, there are many good gold using players still on the UK servers, the game no longer warrants the cost of playing it. Fewer players will make it even more dull. The price should be coming down if anything, it's an game that is mainly unchanged that is over 10 - 15 years old . Please rethink this
I have to disagree with you there boxx.
The game has changed :p , if it hadn't however we might not be in this situation to begin with.
What rumours, flames or unfounded accusations have there been that its warranted to make that warning? Feels more like you're warning us to shut up.
I have removed one post already accusing Travian of creating things that they are not.
That is what my post is about.
This thread was started by the community and will remain as you do have a right to express yourselves about changes that Travian makes.
All I ask is that the posts are not just flaming or trolling.
I or Dario will also make sure this thread is part of our weekly reports as well.

This is a forum everyone is welcome there opinion but if your going to remove unfounded accusations
why have a forum of peoples opinion if its above your level which i agree it is your just the puppet someone else is pulling the strings
Pay more for less.
Why don't you fix your game before charging more? The Last Month has seen a huge increase in issues.
The Unlimited wheat bugs on Comx, The 100% Troop Recruitment Bonus on Ukx, The Artefacts and plans not releasing when expected. You expect people to pay More For what is no longer a fully functioning game?
Great Job at driving people away, A Development Team that can't develop and a marketing team that can't market. No sense of timing.
I am really just dumfounded about the decision making process. The economics of supply and demand say that justifying an increase in cost-of-goods requires an increase in demand. We are obviously seeing the opposite when we look at player numbers. Increasing the price will only lower player numbers, creating a vicious cycle. It is tempting to increase price to increase revenue, but this is not how supply-demand works...To increase demand, incentives need to be provided that make players want to take up the game. This can be in many forms. Increased demand "means that consumers wish to purchase more of the good at every price". Only when you see increased demand can you justify increasing the price without sacrificing revenue.
This is economics 101. They need to get a better grasp on this before they mess with the revenue base of the company
I say this, not because I want to pay less (!) but because we are reaching critical mass. I left AU domain because there were insufficient players for a competitive server anymore. We will soon reach this in UK if this is not rectified. And I do not think I will play .com with the cheating and bots...
They make plenty but they don't give a monkeys about their customers, never have, never will.
They basically just killing their own game off.
I'll have to remember what my opinion was for one post which was removed
I have a question.
Is this change UK based?
If it is USD vs GBP then how does the gold cost on .US servers fair in comparison? We were looking at doing a .US server already, maybe we all go there. The losses from transferable gold across a server being lost may still work out cheaper.
This has gone down the route of so many online games I have played and left, every single one has increased their prices and each has seen players leave in droves. Now we need to have sitters and duals to run the account 24/7, a team of players playing one account can spread the cost, the single player cannot. I mirror the sentiment shown by others, the number of players has gone down significantly over the years, I shall not be buying any more gold and most likely not return to a game I once really enjoyed
I feel like this all be revenge for us taking the mickey out of he 2 weeks free Travian plus!
Who's laughing now

Villa Girasol is an extremely comfortable and well equipped property, situated in the Pinosol area of Javea, offering everything you will need for a happy and relaxing holiday on the Costa Blanca. The property is ideal should a little privacy be required as there is a separate, fully equipped 1 bedroom apartment in addition to the 2 bedrooms of the main house.
A particular feature of this villa is the charming gardens that surround it. A path, threading through the trees and shrubs, leads to quiet shady corners. To one side is a Spanish style BBQ area giving the opportunity for some delicious outdoor cooking and there are plenty of places for family eating inside and outside the villa. The terraces surrounding the pool have plenty of space for sunbathing or relaxing in the shade.

Ryan Hamby, Junior Tight End
Following up on the N.C. State game
"We did not play as well as we wanted as an offensive line unit at N.C. State. We did not play well enough to win a Big Ten game. We need to play harder and get after it up front. We did not block and protect as well as we could have. We need to step it up and play better up front during the Big Ten season."
On the Northwestern defense
"They mix things up a lot. They have a couple guys hurt up front, so we need to be ready for anything. They will have some blitzes and new things for us. We need to just stay focused and remember this is a Big Ten game and we set our goal this season to win an outright Big Ten championship. Saturday is the first step toward that and we need to come ready to play."
Antonio Pittman, Freshman Tailback
On his role in the OSU backfield
"My goal is to just help the team win. Whether I get one carry a game or carry the ball a lot, as long as I help the team win I am doing my job."
On the difference in running style when he comes into the game for OSU senior Lydell Ross
"We are different runners. I am more shifty. I weigh 196 pounds and he is about 230. He is a power back and I am one who looks to cut back more. He has great moves for his size. Two good backs are hard to stop and changing the pace is even harder to stop."
Rob Sims, Senior Offensive Tackle
On the different outlook playing Northwestern compared to N.C. State
"Last week was tough. We did not leave the airport for a long time and nobody was having fun on that trip. We have been having fun the last two weeks preparing for this weekend. We look forward to the Big Ten. All the teams in the conference do. They are all fired up to get started. The Big Ten is very competitive."
On the Northwestern defense
"They have a good defense up front. They are aggressive and play hard. I look forward to this game and to get going after the off week."
Justin Zwick, Sophomore Quarterback
On whether or not a week off will hurt his progression
"I do not feel a week off will really hurt me. If anything, I think it will help. My body certainly enjoyed the week off and I think that the extra week will only help my progression."
On playing in a night game
"We were there two years ago for a night game and it was a really good atmosphere and I would not expect anything else this time around."
Brandon Joe, Senior Fullback
On playing his first game during his senior season
"This game is my season opener and I am really chomping at the bit to get out there and play."
On heading up to Northwestern
"With any Big Ten road game we know we are going to get that team's best effort, so it is very important that we bring our 'A' game."
A.J. Hawk, Junior Linebacker
On the challenge of playing at Northwestern
"This game will be a good challenge for us. We know Northwestern has a very good offensive unit, so we have to be at our best if we expect to win. The Big Ten portion of the season is a whole different season and we have to be at our best for every game."

We are back in McMurdo! And clearly everyone is happy to be back! We were even greeted with fluffy snow.
Two friendly science supporters (Thanks Breezy and Sarah!) came out to help us. Of course, as anticipated, scientists are never ready when they are supposed to. Things look strange, some small last minutes mishaps -- turns out an Ice Auger (small ice drill) and thin cables do no go well together -- and low priority items that one still really wants to finish, meant that hectic set in. This combined with the incredible amount of snow accumulation called for a long day and a short night.
Still, there was time to enjoy the exceptionally good weather conditions with a picnic outside! You would not believe it, it was above freezing and we all felt like summertime. Scientific wisdom of the day: folding chairs with metal feet are not very stable on fresh Antarctica snow, as Chris is demonstrating -- for your convenience -- when Corey was just about to take a group picture.
The group picture? In fact, we are all still sorting fotos and getting organized back here in McMurdo. So, there will be some future blogs coming up, in which I anticipate beautiful pictures from the helicopter and panoramas from the field. So stay tuned until we are rested and settled back in.
But we of course cannot let you go yet, without having a look at how our cargo got home:

Koenigsegg CCXR Edition & Pagani Zonda F Carbon to appear at MPH
To be a presenter on Top Gear TV is the dream job for most of us. Racing supercars one day and challenging your friends in a beater the next is not a bad way to earn a living. But there's only one Jeremy Clarkson, and you're probably not him. So the next best thing if you live in London is the MPH show where two of the most exclusive supercars in the world: a Koenigsegg CCXR Edition and Pagani Zonda F Carbon will appear as well as Top Gear Live (the TG boys put on a live performance.)
The current stock market has probably eroded away your supercar money, so instead you Londoners can head to Earl's court on October 30th for the MPH show. The Swedish 254+mph 4.8-liter V8 Koenigsegg CCXR Edition featured at the show may make you want to mortgage your house to put a down payment on the £1.5 million rockstar.
If you need to go more budget-minded, the £668,000 Pagani Zonda F Carbon will only cost the whole family's education fund. But he 7.3-liter V12 that produces 650 hp will make you feel better about having illiterate kids.

Modern drivers are rarely satisfied with the potential that their car shows.Always want more power, more horsepower under the accelerator pedal.And it's not just about the thrill of the trip, but also about the safety of driving, because it's much easier to drive a powerful car, the driver gets more confidence, can make quick overtaking and other maneuvers.
According to the reasons, the popularity among car owners is enjoyed by programs for tuning cars and increasing the power of the power unit.This is a fairly simple and fast way to change the engine settings and pump out the maximum possible forces from it.With the help of such a program without hardware intervention, we get the result in increasing the power.
This option to increase the power of the car is most common among car owners.It is very cheap, does not require the purchase of expensive parts and their long installation on the car service.You just come to the company that provides such services, order the installation of the selected program and give the car for an hour to the master.
In the process of changing the factory settings, professionals connect to the on-board computer, evaluate the current software and make it a saved copy.After that, a new program is being poured in, which is designed to increase the car's power.The successful outcome of such a program will be the following:
If at least one of these points is not true, you will have to change the program or return the factory settings.It is necessary to save the program that is on your on-board computer at the moment, otherwise you can end up with an inoperative firmware and get a lack of working capacity of the machine.
Trust the work with software tuning engine can only specialists.Any interventions that can harm your car, they will do it, so do not allow unproven people to go to your transport.It is better to overpay for this kind of tuning rather than not getting a good result.
Minuses and dangers in the process of intervention in the computer configuration of the power unit is quite a lot.To start with, if there are unrestricted opportunities to increase the power of the power unit programmatically, the manufacturer would have done it.This step would allow selling the power unit more expensive.
Therefore, even in the best program for tuning there will be certain shortcomings.You should always count on a reasonable increase in power.If the tuning center offers to make a monster of 150 horses out of your 80-horsepower unit, it's better to refuse right away - you will be left without a car in the near future.The main problems and problems with software tuning are the following:
In any case, the wear of the engine rises.If your car is raised from 90 to 105 horsepower, this tuning will take about 20 percent of the service capacity of the unit.This will cause early overhaul and subsequent problems with the unit.By the way, this particular feature should be paid attention when buying a used car.
Often, car sellers in the secondary market conceal the need to perform major engine repairs, as well as increased wear of the metal parts of the power unit due to tuning.But the machine with a huge amount of horsepower will find its buyer very quickly.Do not fall for such a trap.
Initially, we recommend intervening in the factory settings of the car only if you do not feel too sorry for the car.The most popular in this aspect today use cars of domestic production, because their only truly powerful place is the engine.With the help of professional chip-tuning you can achieve good results:
Agree, such consequences of working with software will be quite acceptable for you.But if the engine of your car is designed by German or Japanese engineers, trying to increase the power of the power unit will be the beginning of the end for this costly unit of your car.The power and fuel consumption in such units are optimized to the full, and the potential can be increased by the only way - by increasing the volume of the cylinders.But there is no such possibility in modern units, because the walls of the cylinder block are too thin for boring.
The more your desire to get more power from the car, the more positive the arguments of the software tuning you will find.But do not forget that this procedure can damage the engine and cause some problems with the car.So it is worth considering two rules for doing this procedure - trust the work of professionals and do not perform tuning on modern charged cars.
Also, remember that you need to leave the ability to return to the factory settings when performing tuning.Otherwise, you have to go to the official service station and pay a lot of money for the return of the desired program.Do you have any experience installing programs to increase the power of the power unit?

Aspire | in Christ's daily presence
"As to this salvation, the prophets who prophesied of the grace that would come to you made careful searches and inquiries, 11seeking to know what person or time the Spirit of Christ within them was indicating as He predicted the sufferings of Christ and the glories to follow. 12 It was revealed to them that they were not serving themselves, but you, in these things which now have been announced to you through those who preached the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven—things into which angels long to look." 1 Peter 1:10-12
Peter continues this theme of understanding the precise and effectual work of God in salvation and the equipping of His people to live for Him by giving us a hindsight view of the past. The prophets and true believers from the very beginning studied this Great Savior. In Genesis 3 the first declaration of a coming Redeemer was given and ever since then until Christ came to earth, His people looked for Him, hoping that their eyes would see Him, encouraging their listeners and the next generation to be on the lookout for His arrival.
This reminds me that we should continue to look for Jesus, both in His final return and in our everyday lives. What is the great aim and duty of our lives? To make much of Christ and enjoy Him every day.
One can't know a friend without spending time together, and we have the entire Word to give us insight into how we may make our moments Christlike, and I find the Psalms to be especially helpful "...I thought on my ways and turned my feet unto Thy testimonies. I made haste, and delayed not to keep Thy commandments…" (Psalm 119:59)
Peter urges his readers (and us) to continue in these ways of studying Christ and trusting Him implicitly as their forefathers and revered leaders did. His audience received a full view of Christ whereas the believers from long ago only had types and shadows. Yet, those first saints faithfully preached, pointed, and persevered. Even the angels themselves, who continually praise the Lamb, don't fully understand what Christ did and continues to do. What a gift it is to be known and loved by the Giver!
As a friend of mine noted once: "I cannot know all there is to know about God, but I can know all that the Scripture has to say about Him." This here is the believer's life-long journey. Let each of us delight in His presence every day and fill our minds & hearts with the wisdom found only in His Word.
*NEW* Journal Prompt: in the coming week, record what the Word says about Jesus in your daily reading! What can you gather about His character and Person?

I often do not have the iPad with me , so sometimes I will note down something with the intention of transferring the note to this site. However, it doesn't often happen – the transfer that is. That little bit of distance in time from the experience seems to take away the validity of the comment in some way , the lack of currency.
Also I have a small collection of pictures I have taken .. The treasures from the carpark or roadside , or commuting visual stories .. They have not got to the site… Should they? Or havet they missed their chance? Or perhaps they need a different way to be shown…. Not individually , to show when they (it)caught my eye but maybe they need a separated area, an exhibition page? This needs some consideration.
Today, after a reasonable amount of rain and some sun, it is clear how quickly the roadside is greening up . And then too the roadside verge along one road has been cut ..will the Oxeye daisy still make a show this year there ? It is not easy from the car to see the variety of plants the verge can support but I can see the leaves on the roadside trees are unfurling. It is not yet complete, as the lines of the trunks and branches are ,in many cases, still visible .. But the greening continues.
Wildlife spotted today? One vole started an escapade from the hedge to halfway across the cycle path then so quickly changed its mind and retreated back to the green safety. One wagtail quite happily turning over the freshly cut verge grass. A red kite circling the field next to this car park, and as I close this and get ready to start the day (proper), getting out of the car I really do expect to hear the lark , the sound if which will accompany me to the office before that journey it is overtaken by seagull type screeches. Have a nice day.

If you have been arrested for a drink driving high reading then in addition to receiving a lengthy drink driving ban, you are also at risk of a possible custodial penalty if convicted:
The Magistrates' Court Sentencing Guidelines suggest that the starting point for the penalty to be imposed in cases where the reading is at this level is 12 weeks in prison. However, please note that our Drink Driving Solicitors have NEVER in the history of the firm, had a client sent to prison for a drink driving offence on its own when they pleaded guilty at the earliest opportunity. Even when a client was being prosecuted for a repeat offence.**
When you are at risk of prison, we fully understand that you simply cannot afford to take any chances with the way in which your case is prepared. We have devised a fixed fee option to prepare and present your full mitigation in court to give you the best chance of avoiding a custodial penalty.
We want to explore all possible avenues when it comes to gathering evidence in support of your mitigation so to give yourself the best chance of achieving a lenient penalty, we advise that you instruct us as soon as possible.
We may need to obtain medical evidence in support of your mitigation which will take time. We will also want to fully advise you about what to expect at court and reassure you of our intended strategy. Whilst we can often react to instructions placed with us less than 24 hours before a court hearing, we would much rather get involved weeks or months before a court date.
Pleading guilty to the charge is not your only option, however, and you may prefer to consider possible drink driving defences before you make a decision on what to do next.

My feedback cannot express how gratifying I am with Geoffrey Miller Solicitors as regards the handling of my drink driving case from start to finish.
I have always held some level of reservation about legal advise particularly with road traffic cases, however GM solicitors have evidently change my skepticism.
The level of professionalism, optimism, efficiency and value for money from the moment I presented my case to Jeanette S. Miller up to the point John Ruane called to inform my case have been discontinued by the CPS was (5 star) excellent.
Jeanette kept reassuring me there was a strong possibility of success even when I felt all hopes were lost. My biggest thank you goes out to John for the high level of transparency and real-time progress update on my case.
Your firm is top notch and I will always relish the good result delivered for the rest of my life. Yes people might say it is an expensive service, however it was worth the result at the end plus the level of payment flexibility makes it affordable for all.
Please keep up the good work and maintain the level of excellent.

Unbelievable!!! I have to confess that I was extremely sceptical about achieving a successful outcome, but was reassured all through the process by some excellent staff at Geoffrey Miller that there was hope where I could see none. Today all charges were dropped by the CPS and I can't thank John Ruane and my Barrister enough for their outstanding efforts, life can finally get back to some normality after months of stress and I only have Geoffrey Miller to thank for this.
Oh my god Geoffrey Miller Solicitors are amazing totally professional reassuring and confident from the very start of proceedings thank you so much regards J CARRARA

You are probably reading this because you are terrified, but you have come to the right place… When I was arrested almost 10 months ago my world fell apart, I didn't know what to do, I couldn't sleep and I was in panic mode. I called a friend at work who recommended Geoffrey Miller. After a lot of research and reading all the testimonials (twice) I finally plucked up courage and made the call. Jeannette Miller was the first person I spoke to, her warm and understanding nature without any judgement was something I was not expecting and immediately knew I made the right decision. Ellie Taylor (who is just amazing!!) was assigned my case worker, the expense needed for fees were a worry but the team worked with me throughout so I was never overwhelmed by costs (it is worth it believe me). After months of back and forth and trial dates being moved or adjourned, the CPS doing their best to derail everything, we finally went to trial. My barrister is someone I will never forget, he was just incredible and knew exactly what his plan was, I was so scared of losing my license as it would ruin my job, house and future work prospects… I shouldn't have worried all those months, I was acquitted. I am truly grateful for the incredible work this team does. Please give them a call as soon as you can, that call could very well change your life.

I cannot put into words how grateful I am for the help Geoffrey Miller have given me. I got caught 7 years ago and then caught again 7 years later, which could have resulted in a 3 year ban (possibly more) and a fine and possibly community service. I run my own business and this had the potential to ruin my business and everything I have. I did a search for specialist solicitors and Geoffrey Millar came up first. I was obvs in a state of distress, but I spoke to Jeanette and she instantly put me at ease by talking through the event of arrest and assuring me that they had confidence to help. Naturally you feel sceptical I think that's natural, however after the first call they kept in contact and it helped in making the decision to use Geoffrey Miller. I'll be honest the fees can make you feel its a big risk, but then the success rate is high, so I took the plunge. John Ruane was my case manager and he always kept me informed and told me not to worry. It did take nearly a year to get to a decision (no fault of Geoffrey Miller, that's just how it worked out) but I kept my licence during this time, which meant I could continue with my life, and I was looked after by some great people on preliminary court hearings and they too, were great! Today I have just been acquitted and case dismissed. Worth every penny, and now they are helping to get some court fees back, which is great! If you Need help, and you feel lost/stressed give these guys a call! and check out the success rate, it worked for me.
Consider what it means to keep a licence and not pay high premiums on insurance after your ban is over, and you will see its worth the cash!
Thank you John, and All the team.

My case was handled by Saskia Abbot. I called several times, often requesting reassurance following emails which I had received. Saskia always called me back as quickly as she could. She was extremely helpful and very informative throughout. Her emails also provided detailed information about my case. She raised several issues which could potentially secure my acquittal, which made me more confident that I was right to go with a 'not guilty' plea.

This case started 14 months ago when I received a call from a police station at 2.30 am telling me that my son had been charged with drink driving. He blew 54 by the road and 49 at the police station. I phoned Geoffrey Miller and spoke to Ellie Taylor. She was extremely professional and well informed and told me that we could do what I thought was impossible and plead not guilty and have a good chance of a successful outcome. We decided to go down this route although the case appeared utterly unremarkable. There were no obvious problems with the prosecution case and we were just hoping that the prosecution would fail to serve their evidence. This unfortunately did not happen and they were very proactive and provided us with everything but a proper copy of the cctv. We only received this on the morning of the first hearing date. Our barrister, the magnificent Phillip Lucas, reviewed the cctv at court and immediately spotted two potential case winning points. The case eventually came back about 10 months later. At the trial our barrister performed a cross examination of the police witnesses worthy of a court room tv drama. After this the judge asked if Mr Lucas would mind if the witnesses were taken out of order as he wanted our expert to give evidence "with a view to dramatically shortening the length trial". This is what happened and an acquittal shortly followed! A fantastic result. This case has shown me that you can never know if you have got a good case until all the evidence has been reviewed by the experts at Geoffrey Miller. Whilst it was both a stressful and expensive experience it was extremely worthwhile and worth every penny. Thank you to John Ruane, Victoria Brennan and Saskia Abbott.

It is a year ago today that I was stopped for alleged drink driving, performed a roadside test and as a consequence breathalysed at the police station. But due to the breathalysing machine producing both a positive and a reading of "mouth alcohol", a blood sample was requested, which I gave. I was terrified during the whole procedure as my occupation depends on my driving and I have a company car. The circumstances prevailing this are complicated, but I want to summarise my experience with the legal engagement and my lengthy history with Geoffrey Miller Solicitors.
When I left the police station the following morning, I panicked;- I could lose my job, my marriage, my home and of course my dignity and reputation. I did not have a breath result but upon leaving I noticed on the custody board, my name and a reading of "blew 93" I knew this was more than twice the legal limit without awaiting the results of the blood alcohol sample.
In a haze, I googled "drink driving" firstly to determine the seriousness of the offence and secondly to educate myself on what my position was, I had no idea Solicitors existed that specialised in motoring offences regarding drink driving. I read through the first advertised website who were "drink drive" specialists, a family run business, great testimonials, video's and exceptional statistics. I rang this company and spoke to one of the Directors, who explained all the different scenarios and in particular that the "CPS" are very dysfunctional, unorganised and often just drop cases. I'm sure this may be true but it wasn't my experience.
I signed up immediately in a panic, I didn't consider the overall costs and was told to deal with the initial case it would be £1,500. Deal done.
I then had time to research the offence in detail and came across Geoffrey Miller Solicitors, which to be honest sounded very much like my already contracted firm. I called and spoke to Eleanor Taylor, Solicitor, who basically ran through very similar scenarios as my contracted solicitor, however she was more professional in her approach, explaining procedural errors that could secure my acquittal for a blood sample and less damning about the CPS. This worried me, I had already paid a substantial amount, so I really had to trust my contracted solicitor.
I received my blood sample reading of 182mg, the legal limit is 80mg therefore the ban is 17 – 22 months. This was inconceivable to me, I was unable to tell anyone of my position which caused me enormous anxiety, sleepless nights and dreadful stress. I would lose my JOB, my HOUSE, my LIFE and my husband would never forgive me.
I attended the first hearing to plead not guilty and was annoyed that the Director I spoke to had delegated me to another solicitor without talking me through this process. The solicitor that attended court with me was nervous in his demeanour and did not fill me with confidence in his overall manner at all.
The case worker assigned was flippant with me, didn't return calls and gave me the impression that I was just another case, nothing special. My trial was scheduled for end of March 2018 which required another £4000. A week before the trial after no defence strategy explained and very little communication, my calls weren't returned and I wasn't a priority. I rang Geoffrey Miller in a complete panic. My whole life was dependent on this trial and I had no confidence in this solicitor. Within an hour Jeanette Miller called me back. The conversation with her transformed my state of mind knowing I could win the case with one of the most experienced Barristers in the country. I hadn't even been assigned a Barrister, never mind a competent solicitor.
Of course, I had to agree a new contract but Jeanette took into consideration my previous experience, but I had to re-assign for GMS resources to start from the beginning, so in effect I had to "write" off the amount I'd already paid to the previous Solicitor. There is only one option you must take and that is sign with Geoffrey Millers and do not make the mistake I made and waste money and your licence with any other company.
Now, for the rest of my journey, it was horrific and terrifying but Ellie (assigned to me) assured me and listened to all my constant queries over and over again. I had an out of office number and she always and I mean always responded to me. Jeanette talked to me and re-assured me about my case and arranged 2 conference calls with my appointed Barrister. This gave me so much confidence understanding the procedures but most importantly the defence strategies. They were all honest and straightforward with me from the start.
The end of March hearing turned into a case management hearing and then trial was adjourned to July. Again, this meant more costs but by now I understood by July how my case would be presented and during the trial, I was completely amazed at this Barrister's complete focus on my case. He had only started cross examining the Police Officer when the case was adjourned as they do not give up on an argument. I had a forensic expert assigned as well as a Barrister. I then had 5 more months to wait for a 2 day trial, again more expense for me to gain an acquittal. This was an extremely difficult case, to prove a verdict of not guilty, to a Judge that was not familiar with the case law, which was part of the Skeleton argument and it seemed throughout he would convict whatever.
A half time submission was made by my defence Barrister and I thought the case would be won. No, the Judge said there was a case to answer and I honestly expected my Barrister to loose his focus, enthusiasm and not change tactics so late in the day. But no, he was AMAZINGLY brilliant and put the Judge into a position that proving me guilty was an impossibility for the Crown. I was found not guilty and I have my life back after this terrifying ordeal. Ellie is frankly a star and a credit to her profession. I was made to feel important and cared for as a client, I could not recommend them enough.
I still can't believe I am free and I am ecstatic that I made the right decision with the right team and we were successful. If you have what I had to lose then you have to realise this is an expensive investment, at their results but I can honestly say that Ellie and Jeanette personally cared about the outcome for me.

Some say a bad day fishing is better than a good day at the office? Would they still say that about this trip?
It must have been a big deal.
After all, the ordeal was enough to convince guys to wear their lifejackets, and not just 'have them in the boat'.
Here are a couple of screen grabs. The video has the actual collision.
From the text attached to the video:
A salmon fisherman who abandoned ship by leaping into the frigid waters of the Columbia River last summer — an instant before another motorboat crashed into his — has filed a $372,500 lawsuit against the other driver.
Clatsop County sheriff's deputies accused boat driver Marlin Lee Larsen of several crimes after the 75-year-old told investigators he couldn't see where he was driving because he was sitting down and the dash of his boat was blocking his view. Larsen said he probably should have been standing, according to the sheriff's report, which notes Larsen uses a motorized scooter to get around on land.
Larsen's son-in-law, who also was on the boat, told investigators that he had warned his father-in-law to pay attention, that he sometimes sees his father-in-law using his cell phone while driving the boat and that his father-in-law had been off-and-on his cell phone the morning of the crash, according to the sheriff's report.
Although Oregon law heavily restricts cell phone use while driving, there are no such specific laws governing boating. But it is against the law to operate a boat without due care.
The lawsuit, filed earlier this month, claims Larsen was boating while distracted by his cell phone on the morning of the Aug. 12, 2017, when the crash occurred near the mouth of the Columbia at the Pacific Ocean, just east of Fort Stevens State Park.

The working world has become more stressed, and that is taking a toll on the health of Canadians. In the current recession, employees might be worried about job security and salary reductions or be expected to work longer hours or be accessible and connected to their jobs 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Now more than ever, it is important for companies to invest in wellness strategies to help support the health of their employees. Without a healthy team, companies will face higher bottom line costs and reduced employee health.
Companies can choose to support wellness initiatives in a wide variety of ways depending on the company budget and employee concerns and interests.
- Hire a traveling massage therapist to provide on-site neck/shoulder massages to reduce tension.
- Provide partial or full support for gym memberships.
- Respect your employees' lunch hours by not hosting meetings so that they can ensure they have time to take care of their personal health.
- Register in a corporate fitness challenge or walk/run event.

Chinese Elm Bonsai Tree Care Guide
Ulmus Parviflora
Chinese Elm bonsai trees are probably the most common kind of bonsai and generally the first one most people will own. WIthout some information on how to look after them they are also usually the last one they will ever have after it struggles and then finally gives up.
They are tough and able to survive the hazards of life indoors, difficult for any tree. Chinese Elm have very small leaves, rugged bark, fine branches and nice roots. Large trees have real charisma and the wow factor. Small ones can be bought cheaply.
The tree is semi-decidious and will either keep or partially loose its leaves depending on the conditions in which is it kept.
To my mind, location is the biggest factor in success when keeping bonsai trees indoors. A coffee table isn't going to work in the middle of a sitting room. A bookshelf will be too dark. Almost everywhere that you see them in films and on TV won't work, the bonsai tree has been put there for the filming. Sorry to burst the bubble, but its quite true.
Bonsai require a bright position, if you are going to keep one in the house please avoid dark corners. Indoor bonsai trees want plenty of light, so a bright sunny windowsill works well. The main problem with this is that in summer, it will be very hot. ideally, you want the light without the heat, which is hard to do.
Solutions to this problem including bigger pots, bigger trees, drip trays, mist spraying and moving the bonsai tree in summer. A bigger pot relative to the tree will provide a larger reservoir of soil, meaning that the tree will dry out less quickly and that the moisture in the soil evaporate, making the air around the tree more humid. A bigger tree is more robust generally, as they have more roots. A drip tray underneath the pot will collect some water, more humidity. Mist spraying will again increase the humidity (you get where i'm going here – they like a humid environment.) If you can, a few months outside will help a lot, do this is summer, to avoid the dry, hot window in summer.
I sometimes say to customers "When you go into the garden in spring, take the bonsai tree with you. When you come back in at the end of summer, bring it back in."
If outside, the tree is not fussy. I grow them outside in full sun, partially sun and full shade. They are all very happy.
When I first started growing bonsai trees, I used to think that Chinese Elms were sensitive to the cold. Over the years and with experimentation, I have found that they are amazingly hardy trees that can withstand cold and temperatures down to around minus ten degrees. The big plus in growing them outside this that the leaves are much smaller and the growth is much tighter, as they the not putting out big leaves in attempt to hoover up as much light as possible.
"Do you remember that horrible winter a few years ago when it dropped to minus 15? That is the only winter that i have lost Chinese Elms to the cold." Another shop quote.
Aim to maintain an even level of moisture. Balance is key. You can rot plants roots through too much water. Equally too little water has more obvious consequences. If the leaves curl up, go dry and crispy, this is a sign of drying out.
Indoors, the most simple way to water is with a cup or jug. Just pour water onto the soil surface. Water until water runs out of the holes in the bottom of the pot. Most of the roots are in the bottom portion of the pot, so if you only give them a bit of water, the top will look wet, while the majority of the roots are actually dry.
You can also dunk the whole pot and soil in a bowl of water in order to make sure that you haven't missed any part of the root mass. After that, leave it to drain on the kitchen drainer or outside.
What about mist spraying?
Yes some people do this, the idea being to increase the humidity around the tree. It will increase the humidity around the bonsai. I need to point out though that i have have had Chinese Elm bonsai trees growing on my south facing kitchen window for years and have never ever mist sprayed them.
"Will I have to prune it?" is a frequent question I get asked asked at our place. The answer is most definitely yes. Don't worry, its a good thing! The most simple answer to the question how to prune Chinese elm bonsai trees is to let each shoot grow to a couple of inches and then to prune back to the first four leaves. You'll notice that they start off quite small and get progressively bigger as the new shoot grows.
You are usually aiming to maintain the existing shape, IE a triangle shape with a dome crown. anything that breaks this silhouette can be removed. Plus, any shoots that grow downwards can be removed. Trees in nature don't tend to do that.
You want your Chinese Elm bonsai tree to get bigger and better over time. So how can this happen? I always say that it won't magically expand or rise over time like a Yorkshire Pudding does. Instead, the pruning is like topiary – you carefully prune the tree allowing bits of growth to continue in the way that you want it to.
The aim of the game is often to increase the twiggyness of the bonsai tree, rather than the height. Think about it – one cut shoot generally leads to two smaller side shoots, which when cut lead to four smaller shoots.
Feeding can be done all year round with a tree kepy indoors. Use either a low strength liquid feed or slow release granular feed. If you've just recieved a Chinese Elm and are looking into how to keep it, don't feed it for the first few weeks. Give it chance to settle into its new environment before starting to feed.
Chinese Elms grow quickly and should be regularly repotted. Small bonsai will want repotting every year to keep them in the best of health. Here is some helpful advice on how to do this.

Special Counsel Mueller now investigating Tony Podesta, lobbyist with Democratic ties
Tony Podesta and the Podesta Group, a Democratic-leaning lobbying group, are the subjects of a federal investigation being led by Special Counsel Robert Mueller, three sources told NBC News.
The probe grew out of Mueller's inquiry into the finances of former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort, according to the sources, and is focused on whether the Podesta firm failed to properly register as a foreign agent when promoting Ukraine as part of a public relations campaign organized by Manafort.

Bill Gough understands the value of a good mentor. He started his consulting practice to impart his years of insurance knowledge to other agents in need of guidance.
Thanks to our unique commitment to quality, agent support, and value-driven service, Precise has been able to build strong long-term relationships with leaders and innovators throughout the insurance industry. In our Precise Spotlight series, we want to showcase some of these outstanding partners for our readers. Whether you're a seasoned professional or an up-and-coming agent, we hope that their wealth of experience and sustained successes will guide you as you work to realize your own business goals.
In our latest installment, we spoke to Bill Gough of Florence, Alabama. Bill began as an employee agent with Allstate in 1984, but after Allstate decided to convert all of its agents into independent contractors in 2000, he suddenly became a small business owner. Bill soon realized that he needed help to run his agency, so he reached out to other successful business owners and coaches to push his business to the next level. He was so inspired by their work that he launched his own consulting and coaching firm, BGI Systems, designed specifically for insurance agents. Today, he's hoping to share some of the wisdom that he's gleaned over the years.
PL: After the shakup at Allstate in 2000, you became a business owner and independent contractor. How did that transition change your approach to selling insurance?
Gough: When I first started with Allstate, I was just 24 years old. I was fresh out of school with a wife and a young child at home. I didn't really know what I was doing at the time, but I was lucky enough to have a great mentor to guide me through all of the growing pains.
Then in 2000, Allstate decided to make us all independent contractors. I didn't realize what a big deal that was at the time, but a few years into it, I realized that I wasn't just an agent anymore. I was an independent business person, and I needed to start acting like it if I wanted to succeed. So I sought out other smart business people, picked their brains on how they ran their business, and tried to emulate them.
In talking to them, I realized that insurance is a people-oriented business. Like the old saying goes, insurance is only as good as your agent. Our business is about developing relationships with prospects, customers, centers of influence, referral partners — anybody we can help. Like my great inspiration Zig Ziglar once said, "you help enough people get what they want, you'll get all you want and more." Putting others first like that has always served me, my company, and my people very well.
PL: How important is it for insurance agents to seek out coaching to help update their sales strategies?
Gough: Let me put it this way: the greatest athletes in the world have coaches, somebody who can see things they can't see. Insurance agents should look at their peers in the same way.
In fact, coaching has been a major influence on my own professional direction. I started networking with other great agents in the 1990s, but I didn't have a formal coach or mentor, somebody whose advice I actively sought. I hired my first coach in 2004 and joined my first Mastermind group a year later.
It was the best decision I've made in my career. I was so inspired by the coaches and agents I met that I started BGI Systems in 2008 to share my own processes and systems with colleagues. I sold my agency in 2012, and since then, I've been able to spend my time helping agency owners take their business to another level. It's made my job that much more fulfilling.
PL: As you know, social media has had a significant impact on how consumers look for insurance. In your time as an agent, agency owner, and now mentor and consultant, what's been the greatest change in the insurance industry?
Gough: The greatest change is definitely technology. It keeps changing so fast. When I started, we used a microfiche machine. We didn't start using computers until the late '80s. Now, you can access everything you need on your phone.
Social media is probably the most important outgrowth of the tech revolution, at least today. It's easily our most accessible channel for clients and prospects these days. Automation has been invaluable, as well. I used to write and file every quote and every new home and auto policy by hand. Now, we have a program that can handle all of the paperwork.
Even with all the technology, though, I try to remind my agents that we're still in the people business. People want to work with people they know, like, and trust. At the end of the day, insurance agents still need to develop relationships that could last for decades. I always tell my agents that there's nothing as satisfying as renewal commissions. New sales are fun, but so is watching your retention numbers grow. The easiest money you'll ever make is the money you're already making.
PL: As someone with your extensive experience in insurance, where do internet leads fit into an agent's larger sales portfolio?
Gough: The great thing about internet leads is that you know that somebody is searching for insurance information right then. You know they want to talk to someone immediately. But internet leads are like any other lead, of course — you need a process to follow up on the lead.
I discovered internet leads in 2002, but I soon realized that it's not the lead itself, but how you handle it. We have leads from 100 miles away, so we have to show them why we're a better option than an agency closer to their home. We do that by communicating with them as often as we can. We send out a monthly newsletter with a short commercial talking about what's in the newsletter. You can't just send a renewal notice in the mail every six months. You have to communicate with your clients regularly with the information they want.
PL: When you work with agents, what mistakes do you see them making over and over again? In other words, do you have any advice for young agents?
Gough: In most cases, it's just a lack of discipline. They sometimes let outside forces dictate how to run their business. Try to block them out. If you find a system that works for you, stick with it.
More importantly, I urge agents to manage their time well. My first coach, Dan Kennedy, changed my life with his book, No B.S. Time Management. It taught me how to manage my time and run my business how I want to run it. One of the lessons in the first chapter of the book was figuring out the value of my time, which, in 2004, was only $222 per hour of "productive or revenue-producing" work.
I'm happy to say it's multiplied since then, not just because my business got larger, but because my work adds value to my business in some way. Agents sometimes confuse activity with productivity, but cleaning out your inbox isn't productive; it's just busy work. The key is to do productive work. If you're always creating value for your business, the results will come in no time.

SANTO DOMINGO — State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi said on Sept 21 that energy of China-Dominican Republic cooperation has been rapidly released after years of accumulation.
Wang made the remarks at a joint press conference with Dominican Foreign Minister Miguel Vargas, saying that the establishment of China-Dominican Republic diplomatic ties has opened a new chapter in the history of relations between the two countries.
The establishment of bilateral diplomatic ties is in line with the international law and guidelines of international relations as well as principles established by UN General Assembly resolutions, said Wang.
It is also in line with the fundamental and long-term interests of the Dominican people, he added.
Noting that China and the Dominican Republic share a long history of friendly exchanges, Wang said after decades of accumulation, the establishment of diplomatic ties between the two countries has become a reality when conditions are ripe.
In the past four months, the two countries have achieved initial results in various fields with cooperation energy being released continuously, said Wang.
As two fastest-growing countries in East Asia and Latin America, China and the Dominican Republic are believed to work together to benefit their people, facilitate development of the Dominican Republic and inject new impetus into the cooperation between China and the Latin America, he added.
Wang said he discussed with Minister Vargas about next steps in the development of bilateral relations and reached broad consensus.
The two sides agreed on the consistent adherence to the one-China policy, which is a fundamental precondition of establishing ties and a political base for developing bilateral relations.
The two sides agreed that no vacillation is allowed when it comes to the one-China policy and no one or no force is allowed to destroy it.
The two countries also agreed to enhance exchanges at all levels, especially giving a full play to the leading role of head-of-state diplomacy.
The Chinese side welcomes the visit of Dominican President Danilo Medina to China scheduled within this year for jointly planning the blueprint of development of bilateral relations.
The two sides vowed to take the opportunity of jointly building the Belt and Road to continuously promote practical cooperation in all fields so as to benefit both peoples.
The two sides agreed to strengthen cooperation at multilateral platforms such as the UN Security Council, the Forum of China and the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States and the Forum of East Asia-Latin America Cooperation to jointly safeguard international peace and security as well as legitimate interests of developing countries.

SANFORD — Sanford Institution for Savings (SIS), along with its new neighboring businesses at the Route 109 roundabout, recently made two donations to local foundations.
SIS first donated $1,000 donation to The Imelda Fund, which provides heating assistance to families in Sanford. The bank secondly donated $1,000 to Waban Projects, whose mission is to develop and operate programs that promote the general welfare and education of children and adults with developmental disabilities.
SIS President Mark Mickeriz stated, "We are very pleased to help out two great organizations. Part of our responsibility as a community bank is helping others, and we are proud to get involved when the opportunity to help arises."
SIS also has contributed to the ongoing effort to improve Goodall Park on Roberts Street.
Allen Mapes, who's in charge of raising funds for the ballpark's improvements, approached SIS with the hopes that the bank could help with the financial side of the project. SIS gladly accepted Mapes' request and agreed to donate $25,000, payable over two years. The first half, $12,500, was donated this year, and SIS plans on making the second half of the contribution in early 2012.
Goodall Park was built in 1915 by the Goodall brothers and is where Babe Ruth hit perhaps his last home run in a Red Sox uniform. In 1974, it was also the stadium where Bobby Valentine, the new Red Sox manager, led his Stamford, Connecticut, team to the New England Babe Ruth Championship over a Southern Maine team, which included four Sanford players.
Goodall Park was eventually turned over to the town in 1954, when the mills closed, and is maintained by the town's parks and recreation department. It was rebuilt after an arson fire in 1997 and is the home of the Sanford Mainers of the New England Collegiate Baseball League. The ballpark is also used by local baseball and field hockey teams, and it has been home to numerous concerts.
"Goodall Park is all about opportunity," Mapes said. "Our goal is to celebrate its second century of existence in 2015 with the same enthusiasm and hopes that marked the opening of the park almost 100 years ago. We envision a dream park!"
SIS is headquartered in downtown Sanford with branches located in Springvale, South Sanford, Limerick, Buxton, Waterboro, Wells and York. For more information, please visit online at www.banksis.com or www.facebook.com/banksis or call 1-888 BANK SIS (226-5747).

Australian SMS Technology is apparently getting closer to release their GSM mobile wristwatch the company announced back in Summer of 2006.
Engadget has published a set of photos of the new version of the M300. As you can see in the photo the product got improved quite a bit from the first version.
The homepage of SMS Technology is also online again. The homepage was gone for a couple of days. I actually received over the last months several emails from an I4U reader who already pre-ordered a M300 back when they announced it. He was very disappointed on the way SMS Technology communicated the delays of the product. They have been very unresponsive and gave him actually the feeling that he got ripped off. This is not how you should as company deal with your early adopters. I understand the small companies who try to release a new product and then cannot deliver what they promised. It is tough, but you need to take care of your early adopters and keep them in the loop on what is going on.
It is still not clear when the M300 is really going to ship. The site is still saying Q1 2007. In the latest news section it says February 14th. Update: SMS Technology emailed us a March 25th launch date for the M300.

Origins of Democratic and Republican Separation Essay
Sorry, but copying text is forbidden on this website!
The political battles during the Gilded Age (1869-1889) were not fought with weapons and lives as was the Civil War directly before them, but with pamphlets, verbal accusations and national ideals. However, were the two most prominent foes vying due to differing economic policies, or were they similar parties that based their separation on national origin, geography, history, and emotion? The basic economic reforms were, in fact, similar, yet the varying ideologies and animosities that remained from prior eras enlarged the gap between Democrat and Republican.
After the Civil War, the general consensus of the American population was a yearning for unity (to some extreme), civil service reforms, the tariff, currency, and a prosperous America. The basic disagreement between the parties was on military reconstruction, which was over by 1877, less than halfway through the Age (502). Both Republicans and Democrats, however, wished for the general union of America – the majority of the Republicans (moderates) did not aim to punish the South through Military Reconstruction and the South, although angered, rose above their resentment and waited until 1877, when Northern troops pulled out and the South was left to govern itself (511).
Throughout the various presidencies, of which most were dominated by Republicans (save for Grover "the good" Cleveland), graft and dishonest means for achieving wealth were not uncommon within both parties, leading to the Panic of 1873 (506).
Such a depression shed light upon the unscrupulous practices of many political figures, as well as debtors and other prominent businesspeople. This led to yet another national agreement – civil service reforms. Under the Presidency of Republican Chester Arthur, the Pendleton Act was passed in 1883. Considered the "Magna Carta of civil-service reform," it prohibited financial assessments on job-holders and established a merit system of making appointments to office on the basis of aptitude. Furthermore, the act created a Civil Service Commission that examined applicants for posts in the classified service (518).
Most Americans, save for debtors, called for a monetary system based on "greenbacks" rather than hard-money (gold). By 1879, "contraction" (or the accumulation of gold stocks against the appointed day for resumption of metallic-money payments [1879]) and reduction of "greenbacks" restored the government's credit rating, and revived the "greenbacks" along with it. Although these developments were actually enacted under a Republican presidency, such reforms were backed by Congress in (almost) its entirety (507).
One might as, then, why was there political competition? Historically, Democrats represented the needs of the South; they were pro-slavery, supportive of states' rights, and representatives of an agrarian population. The Republicans did not have such views before and within approximately ten years of the Civil War; they were anti-slavery, supportive of a strong central government, and representatives of an urban population, brimming with a large work force of laborers, debtors, businessmen, and other non-agrarian vocations.
However, both Republican and Democratic sentiments were mixed until two competing parties with few varying significant economic issues were the outcome (508). Republicans gradually began to abandon their commitment to black equality, as many votes were already cast and few freedmen would vote Democrat, with the last radical Republican act passed in 1875 (Civil Rights Act). Southerners were left to govern themselves, allowing laws that, under the pretense "separate but equal," placed blacks back in the chains that were recently unshackled (511).
Although economic issues were not a large factor in party separation, Democratic (South) resentment for Republicans (North) remained. The humiliation that the South suffered during Reconstruction, including the emancipation of slaves, was not an act that would be easily forgotten (510). Furthermore, the lives and societies of aristocratic agrarians and hard-working laborers were so distinctly different that such a large variation could only be bridged over several centuries.
The Democrats and Republicans of the Gilded Age were, in reality, overwhelmingly distinct political parties. The groups and ideals that both parties represented were absolutely opposite. The similarity in their economic reforms is explained by their desire to create a prosperous America – one that could only be achieved through civil service reforms, government-issued currency, and further economic legislation.
