Nope. I'm not throwing a riddle at you today.
In my never ending crusade to rid the world of the FEAR of investing I am throwing out some mind tricks/facts about how money is really lost.
I can't count how many times I have heard people say the "stock market isn't for me" (Hi Mom!) or "It's too risky, I know a guy that lost everything" (Hi Father in Law!). But it's time to flip the switch and show people what they really should be scared of.
Uncertainty = Fear
I get it, we like to know what it is going to happen. That is why everyone's blood pressure rises when the check engine light goes on. It could be a $50 routine check up or a $5,000 "Engine no worky" situation.
What I don't understand…… Why doesn't a Scary Certainty = Fear?
If You Spend, You're Down
Perhaps the quickest way to lose your money is spend it as it comes in.
Poof…..The second you swipe the card or hand the cash over, that money is 100% gone. I haven't heard of an investment going to zero same day (unless you were incredibly unlucky and bought Enron the day it died). If you are index fund investing, I will make a very bold prediction:
It will NEVER happen.
and if it does, we will have bigger problems on our hands.
There is also a way to lose WAY over 100% spending money. It's called Debt (and is one of the Scary Certainties I mentioned earlier).
Using my credit card as an example – making the minimum payment according to my cards terms
- Statement Balance: $3,114
- Interest Rate 17%
After 107 months, we would have paid $2,165 in interest. Essentially turning a 100% loss into a 169% loss.
The general perception of debt being ok or "normal" vs the stock market is a "scary place" shows how little financial knowledge is out there.
Are people really ok making someone else rich?
If You Only Save, You're Down
I wish I could go through this site and replace the word "Save" with "Invest" for 99/100 occurrences. As soon as we hit our Emergency Fund goal of $10,000, every penny we "save" is actually invested.
Money saved in a standard checking or savings account is losing purchasing power every year. That beautiful rule of 72 that doubles our money, also doubles the cost of everything we buy (albeit at a much slower rate).
Inflation is the enemy of idle cash.
$10 in 2007 has the same purchasing power as $11.90917 in 2017.
The total inflation rate from 2007 to 2017 is 19.09167%.
The average inflation rate from 2007 to 2017 is 1.76259%.
A .05% interest in a savings account or even 1.2% in a high yield savings account can't keep up with the average inflation rate. Cash becomes less powerful over time.
If You Invest, Even When You're Down, You're Up
You may be down after the first year.
Or the second year.
Or even the fifth year.
But if you have a 50% paper loss, you still have 50% more than if you spent it. AND your money has upside potential instead of slowly losing purchasing power.
To date, looking at the history of the market, the only way to lose is to sell and turn those paper losses into real ones.
Dow Jones since inception:
If you take a long term approach, there aren't many stretches where you would be down on your initial investment for a very long time. Especially if you consistently invest and dollar cost average into the market.
Should more fear be placed on spending and debt than investing in the stock market? Why do you think people rationalize debt so easily but fear losing money in the stock market?

InvenSense Positioning Library Sensor-Assisted Positioning Technology Enhances Navigation User Experience by Eliminating 'GPS Signal Lost'
The combination of sensor positioning with GNSS enhances navigation user experience by eliminating "GPS Signal Lost" warnings and unnecessary re-routings in map applications due to GNSS multipath errors. IPL uses complex algorithms that take sensor data from the mobile device gyroscope, accelerometer, magnetometer and barometric pressure sensors to generate an inertial navigation system (INS) that tracks the position change of a vehicle or pedestrian. IPL then combines the INS with GNSS to provide always-available and more accurate location data when GNSS is inaccurate or unavailable, such as in deep urban canyons with tall buildings or in tunnels and parking garages. IPL operates in any physical orientation allowing the user to freely move the phone in the vehicle during active navigation sessions.
"Today's consumers are increasingly using smartphones for turn-by-turn
navigation in vehicles, creating a strong need for a higher quality user
experience that decreases the occurrence of confusing or stressful
re-routes and GPS lost signal messages," said
IPL is available now for smartphones using Android, iOS, Windows and general Linux operating systems. For additional information about the InvenSense IPL solution, please visit www.invensense.com or contact InvenSense Sales at email@example.com.

As South Africa's tour of Sri Lanka gets underway with the Galle test on July 12, Thursday, cricket enthusiasts are expecting a riveting contest that will set the tone for the series. Both teams will look to outperform each other and take an all-important 1-0 lead in this two test match series, the second of which will be played at Sinhalese Sports Club, Colombo from July 20 onwards. Subsequent to the test series, the two teams will face each other in 5 ODIs and a T20I. Although the series is in no way a "clash of titans," we can expect competitive cricket, particularly when the mighty Proteas take on the Islanders riding high on the home advantage.
Match Preview:
South Africa enters the contest as favourites for reasons not far to seek. Even without the legendary AB De Villiers, the Proteas have a solid batting line-up with the likes of Faf du Plessis, Hashim Amla, Quinton De Kock, Dean Elgar, Heinrich Klaasen and Aiden Markram. The bowling department is also well served by Vernon Philander, Lungi Ngidi, Kagiso Rabada and Dale Steyn who can turn the tide with their skills and attitude on any given day and at any surface.
On the other hand, Sri Lanka has its share of form and fitness issues that are glaring enough to hold them back. The Islanders will be counting on the experience of Mahela Udawatte, Kushal Perera, Dinesh Chandimal and Kusal Mendis to amass big runs and put Proteas under some pressure. On the bowling front, the young off-spinner, Akila Dananjaya, can be the trump card for the Sri Lankans, as the opponents may struggle to read his googly and carrom balls.
On paper, South Africa outweighs the hosts in experience, talent, tenacity and fitness. In fact, the Proteas are only behind India to be the second-ranked team on ICC test ratings while Sri Lanka languishes at number six. That said, Sri Lanka cannot be ruled out outright, as it can be a formidable unit in tailor-made, home conditions. To conclude, South Africa is a safe bet but not an absolute one.

Dr. Eugene Kramer Suggests The Importance Of Choosing Right Shoes

Dr. Eugene Kramer's main focus is to provide the patients with exceptional healthcare and lifestyle facilities by focusing on teaching and practicing the true principles of unparalleled chiropractic wellness care.
Dr. Kramer is a learned professional who graduated with a Degree Of Chiropractic form the reputed New York Chiropractic College. He suggests the importance of choosing the right shoes.
According to Dr. Eugene Kramer, foot pain is a common complain nowadays. Its not just the feet that hurts because of improper footwear, in fact it lays strain on the hips, knees and back. The higher the heel on the shoes, the greater is the stress on the fore foot. Ankle instability and pain are other problems caused due to high heels.
Dr. Eugene Kramer further opines that if some one alternates between high heels and flat shoes, their calf muscles go through a shorten/lengthen cycle that can lead to pelvic imbalances and low back pain. A solution to this problem, according to Dr. Eugene Kramer is to opt for orthotics.
There are two kinds of orthotics available, simple and custom orthotics. The simple, commercially-made insoles are available at outdoor sports or shoe stores. Custom orthotics helps to prevent dysfunction of the lower body and legs, and decrease spinal stress.

Everyone loves to read good books. It is good to find authors who are able to really reach you and to tell a good story. It is not so easy to find this sort of thing all of the time. The main thing you need to know about when you are selecting books to read is what genre you prefer.
If you think that you do not like reading, maybe you are not looking in the right genre. People like bill copeland author, are trying to tell stories and they want audiences to pay heed. In this case, you would be dealing with the genre of science fiction which is probably one of the most all-encompassing genres.
With that in mind, you will find a lot of truth in science fiction. It touches on levels of truth and fiction but it is all based on essential facts of science even though the actual story is a fantasy. No matter what, it reaches all levels of the intellect and even touches well on emotions.
Look to the stories told by great minds for inspiration and for entertainment. You are bound to find some great insight through reading good stories. Let your beliefs go for just a little while and open your mind up to brilliant fantasy with science tied in to complete the logical part of your mind.
Know what you want to read and go straight for it. Nobody is going to judge you. The reading experience you have is personal and it really is just for you to know about and enjoy. Nobody else will see the book the way you do in your imagination so this is important.
Choose books by authors who write well. The only way to find out if they do is to give their books a chance and actually read them.

I hate snakes Jock! I hate'em!
Unlike @heavenztrash, I can't stand those slimy bastards. This is a pretty solid flick though with decent performances and some pretty cool makeup effects by Dick Smith (SCANNERS, THE EXORCIST). If this flick had a better director we would be talking about an 80's classic. As it is, William Fruet gave it a nice shot.

Successful interventions, whether a single project, location, or gesture, have impact and reverberation. Ethical Redevelopment Principle #7: Stack, Leverage + Access, asserts that excitement can lead to investment and that resource streams can come from diverse sources.
An investment in yourself, in your ideas and projects, sends a signal to those watching your work that you value place and people over profits. It is critical to have skin in the game, to have something at stake, even if the investment is sweat equity.
Ethical projects require belief and motivation, sometimes more than they require funding. Early, small successes demonstrate feasibility and can spur the next success or even the next project. Whether you work on a series of projects or just one, leverage the attention garnered by your idea to amplify it. Let the work attract more believers.
Over time, a project from your initial days of engagement and experimentation can mature. Something that you passionately believed in, but had little external backing for, can grow in scale and scope to become a sophisticated version that many stakeholders support and believe in. Demonstrating this type of capacity permits access to greater resources.
Establishing relationships with funders, gaining access to multiple spheres of influence, and incorporating expertise are crucial to the enduring success of your project. You may not have access to sufficient funding from one distinct source. However, you can stack and bundle resource streams from diverse sources to meet the price tags of your projects.
The Chicago Arts + Industry Commons (CAIC) is a collaboration between the City of Chicago, artist Theaster Gates's Rebuild Foundation, and the University of Chicago's Place Lab. The concept excited people with a new model for artist-led, neighborhood-based development for mindful city-building. It proposed using arts and culture as tools to revitalize. It attracted believers.
The project leveraged this interest to garner financial support. CAIC acquired $10.25 million from four major foundations: JPB Foundation, the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, the Kresge Foundation, and the Rockefeller Foundation, as well as individual donors and philanthropic organizations.
CAIC's self-sustaining, cultural reinvestment model appealed to funders. The project description explains, "CAIC employs an evolving cultural reinvestment model that uses the revitalization of sleepy assets as part of an engine that spurs new development and new capital, a portion of which is used to support the civic commons." Funders are more likely to support a project when their contributions will catalyze ongoing economic change.
The project stacked and bundled resource streams from diverse sources to meet its initial price tag. This provided access to a level of funding that would be otherwise unavailable, resulting in a more impactful project. Finally, the inclusion of multiple funders offered more people access points to involve themselves with the project. A larger community could take ownership over the work and have a stake in its ongoing success.
Have you worked on a project that cultivated investment from excitement? Did you stack, leverage, or access resources? Tell us about it in the comments section.

A profitable business organization looking admission to an international target market are likely to hire more than one kinds of admittance mode. An entry method is an method through which an agency goes in an international market. Deal Price Business economics and colleges are being used as theoretical views to investigate access style choices (Hennart, 1988). To the different kinds of overseas industry entrance modes, four are most popular of the process associated with an venture. The primary admission function relates to the licensing settlement, wherein a licensor at home area will make controlled privileges or guides designed for the licensee of the web host area. (Sherman, 2004) The other admittance manner is franchising, understood to be: "a software when semi-independent small business owners (franchisees) take care of fees and royalties toward a mom or dad online business (franchiser) in turn for the appropriate to generally be discovered featuring its trademark, to market its offerings, and quite often to apply its business enterprise style and system" (Zimmerer, 2008). The third admission setting would be the subsidiary, separated into two varieties; the Greenfield property investment, concerning the construction of an important clinic (Hitt, 2009), and in addition the Brownfield investment, regarding the improving and redevelopment of preexisting internet sites for new needs (Kolk et al., 2008). Your fourth access approach will probably be the joints venture, esay writer
in which the partners' proper desired goals converge, their promote potency, and materials are minor in comparison to the segment managers, and so they are required to learn from the other person when conforming to national policies. (Zhao And Decker, 2003) The joints travel function helps you decrease purchase costs associated with worldwide small business surgical procedures (Williamson, 1979). This admission mode is most applicable when defining the level of expense probability, and type of business firm without a doubt current
The joints embark admittance method is when two or more spouses integrate their information and strategic pursuits (Brouthers & Nakos, 2004). It is just a organization plan by which 2 or more social gatherings say yes to area their supplies for the purpose of accomplishing a given procedure. This is generally a new plan as well as other home business recreation. With a joints business, every individual individual is liable for profit margins, cutbacks and expenses. On the other hand, the opportunity is a separate business, and in addition to the participants' other business enterprise adventures (Hennart, 1988). When ordinances governing the neighborhood financial state necessity it, the mom or dad enterprise within the enterprise is necessary to develop a hometown better half.Joints ventures are the most widespread type of internet marketing business corporation and market admittance course of action (Cosco, 2011). As for instance, the local administration favours this entry style while the go into default option of procedure for shareholders aiming to have overseas enterprises. The joint opportunity can protect authorities from fiscal and regulatory entanglements. With the localised operators, they can have autonomy over surgical procedures for his or her special business, but ought to conform to the requirements on their foreign joints project purchaser. The area administration demands the businesses to approve to new accreditation arrangements in an yearly time frame (Sherman, 2004).
Generally the dangerous sweetheart in an company should have an area spouse. In The far east, as one example, the "Chinese-international cooperatively-run schools" will need to have co-collaborators who pay for the performance (State Authorities, 2003). There are many not always real estate state spouses directly, yet the residence teaching expertise which licenses the instructional courses as a result of solutions. The institution table of company directors is tightly monitored with the purchasers. Considering that the college is on local territory, the regional primary has precedence with the your home countryside principal .

text: 22 August 2017 6th Circuit Compliance Damages Labor Share on: Government's Trip to Fairyland Comes at a Price: Sixth Circuit Vindicates FCA Defendant's Demand for Attorneys' Fees The Sixth Circuit on Friday issued a decision holding that where the government had pursued a "nearly frivolous" theory of FCA damages wildly in excess of actual damages, defendants were entitled to recover the costs of defending themselves — even where the fraud itself was substantiated. This decision is welcome news to defendants who may not "prevail" in the common sense of the word (by fending off liability entirely) but for whom the cost of defending is driven disproportionately high by the government's aggressive and unjustified litigation positions. And in the process, the court cast doubt on some applications of the government's common "taint" theory of liability, under which it argues that (sometimes minor) frauds deprive the government of the full value of a contract.

Paciugo Gelato is made fresh every day in-store. Born in Italy and raised in America, we strive to bring you authentic, beautiful and oh so dreamy Italian Gelato. It's made with milk – not cream – and ingredients from the globe. Taste = Paciugo love.
Starting with just a taste of her Grandfather's handmade gelato, founder Cristiana Ginatta started her life-long romance with the Italian dessert at a young age. Growing up in Italy, everywhere she traveled led to new flavors – each region specializing in a unique recipe with local ingredients and techniques. As a young woman, she attended culinary school, focusing on the art of traditional gelato-making and perfected her skills in one of the finest family-run gelaterias in Turin, Italy.
In 1997 Cristiana, her husband Ugo and his son Vincenzo moved to Dallas, Texas. The Ginattas soon found that what they missed most about the Old World was the wonderful flavors of Italy – the delicious gelati and the dark, rich espresso. They decided that in Dallas, their family's mission was to share these incredible flavors with their new hometown. In 2000, with a lot of hard work and dozens of new gelato recipes Paciugo (an Italian word meaning "messy concoction") was born. Over time, Paciugo spread to dozens of locations all over North America. From father to daughter, from the Old Country to the New World – The Ginattas want to share the gelato love with you and your family.

Blog Post By: Victoria Uhrich
I have a confession to make..... I am the queen of small accessories (but throw me in Panache and I have no problem grabbing the larger items to stage any console- I know weird). I don't know if it's because my husband and I live in a small apart where my brain has decided only small things will fit. Or because I just find smaller items delightful, but I always end up with cutest accessories..... they just end up being too small.
Thankfully, I have found the perfect fix for this problem of mine- BOOKS! There are so many different coffee table books to incorporate that will add color and interest with different fonts and textures. And when laid sideways, they can be used for height to help make my small decor seem a little bigger, and encompass more area.
Although there has to be some sort of balance (meaning you can't use book for EVERY SINGLE ITEM IN YOUR HOUSE), I have found books to be the perfect solution for this problem of mine.
Above are images on a shelf I staged to show the difference books can make. The color they add to the space help complete the look while still allowing the smaller items to have a place. The accessories even become the focal point of some shelves instead of the accent piece.
Did my epiphany help you conquer your home? Tell me your thoughts in the comments!

Whoops ....
That didn't go as expected now did it?
U.S. stocks and oil plunged and Treasury bonds rallied the most in two weeks after U.S. lawmakers rejected the Bush administration's $700 billion financial rescue.
The Standard & Poor's 500 Index fell as much as 7.2 percent,
the most since Oct. 26, 1987, as 490 companies declined. The MSCI
World Index of 23 developed markets sank 5.9 percent, the
steepest decline in the measure's 38-year history. Trading on
Brazil's Bovespa was halted after the main stock index plummeted
10 percent. The euro and the pound sank and bonds rose as
governments raced to prop up banks infected by growing U.S.
mortgage losses. Crude futures tumbled more than $11 a barrel.
Cold winds are going to blow over the market open tomorrow (today, when you get this) in Europe; especially now since it is is so painfully clear that Europe will be hit the hardest in terms of the real economy. I wonder whether regulators will ban short selling all together on the back of this? That would boost my ego as financial pundit since I (think) am on record somewhere for noting that a ban of short selling or perhaps especially the leveraged vintage could be the result from all this; we will just wait and see I guess. As for the legislation itself, it may of course still be amended for a pass or the White House may put its foot down, but then again, it may not. Filibuster anyone?

I had a wonderful day of making art with children of all ages at the OKCMOA's Drop-in Art Program this past weekend. I am honored to be on board for another season of teaching art to children. This is a great little project to learn about collage, printmaking and texture. This technique is actually called collagraph, or printmaking from collage.
We used a piece of black poster board as our printing plate. The kids went through to pick and choose from a variety of different items: yarn, corrugated cardboard, foam stickers, fabric, craft sticks, etc.
Using a glue stick, glue your collage items down. We used glue sticks because they dry fast and we were going right into printing. If you use Elmer's or similar glue, the items will likely slide out of place before having a few hours to dry.
When the collage is finished I had the kids move to a printing area. I had plexi, paint and brayers set up on newspaper to help keep the mess under control.
We just used washable Crayola tempera paint. Blue is the color we used, but you could use whatever! Cover your entire collage with a nice even layer of paint. It might take a few times.
We printed on white paper that is a little larger than the printing plate. (The size I prepared was: 9x6 cut white paper to print on and 8x5 black posterboard for printing plate.) Holding plate upside down, center over paper and press down. Press firmly all over and gently peel apart. This is the first print. You can re-paint and make as many editions of this print as you like! We had so much fun, it really kept the kids busy.
You will need:
-Poster board
-white paper
-tempera paint
-foam roller
-collage items
-glue sticks
-plexi or something to roll paint out on

African digital payment startup BitPesa looks to expand in Asia
A Kenya-based digital payment startup using blockchain technology is seeking to partner with more Asian companies and plans to open an office in the region next year.
The company, BitPesa, offers international payment services to companies, and it can execute transactions in as little as one hour. That quick turnaround means risk exposure due to exchange-rate fluctuations is reduced by about 65% annually, compared with the traditional way of wiring funds through banks. All transactions and related activities through BitPesa are done online.
The four-year-old startup's service works like this: A sender registers online and sends funds through local bank transfers or via electronic funds to BitPesa, whose team then purchases bitcoin and sends it to a receiving bank account in another country.
BitPesa's commissions are calculated into the exchange rates, similar to how exchange counters at airports operate. The company says its exchange rate is typically much more competitive than banks, and there are no additional fees. Pesa means "money" in Swahili.
BitPesa offers an alternative service in which it matches users in the same country. For example, if a sender and a receiver in China carry out transactions with companies in other countries, BitPesa pays the receiver in China from the funds it collects from the sender in China.
Most of the company's transactions are between customers in Europe and Africa, but "now we are seeing more between Africa and Asia," said Elizabeth Rossiello, BitPesa's chief executive and founder. As of March, about 10% of the transactions that the company handles, which is roughly $24 million, involve countries in Asia. Its platform is often used to pay fees to suppliers or to pay wages across regions.
The company has been expanding. In February, it announced the acquisition of TransferZero, an online transfer platform based in Spain, for an undisclosed amount. BitPesa is licensed as an authorized payment institution in Africa and Europe, providing compliance on behalf of its customers.
Africa is "a huge growth market" with an expanding middle class and the need for goods such as autos and electronics, Rossiello said. For Asian companies wanting to enter the market, BitPesa is "an easy way to start," she said. "Working with a licensed company like ours would reduce your currency risks, and manage your intra and external transaction."

How To Find Time for Your Exercise Program
In this article I'll tell you about How To Find Time for Your Exercise Program. Getting the time to exercise our body can be very challenging. We all have different excuses for different reasons why we can't get the time to exercise.
This post is written specifically to help you find time for exercising your body based on how you spend your day – from morning, afternoon, through to evening.
1. Morning – Wake up few hours or minutes before the normal time that you get out of bed. For example, if you usually wake up at 7, strive to wake up at 6:30 and spend the rest of the 30 minutes on workout.
Yes, you can use 30 minutes to keep your body fit in the morning. Trust me, it works like charm. And if you try it, you won't have a stressful day at all.
Don't know the type of workout to do? Check the resource page of this blog above the header.
2. Afternoon – Obviously, a lot of people are at their various workplaces or schools at this time of the day. You can still keep yourself fit while you're at work. How? Keep reading!
Use the stairs instead of the elevator. You might have heard or read this several times. It works and can have a good effect on your body.
Don't use the phone to make calls within your workplace. Walk to the office or desk of the person you want to talk to. The to and fro movement of your body within your workplace can make you fit and leave you active for the rest of the day. Try it for a week or more and you'll begin to feel the benefits in you.
3. Evening – Come on, folk! you have all the time in this world to exercise at this particular time of the day. What makes me think so?
Cut off or reduce the time you spend surfing the Internet and do some little exercise instead. Your computer will not run away just because you're working out.
Don't turn on your TV yet. Go and do some exercise before you sit in front of the TV. The time you spend watching TV can be divided into 2, 3, or 4 and spend some on workout before you're carried away by your TV.
Finally, think about how you spend your day. Figure out the unimportant things that you waste your time on – browsing, watching TV, chit-chatting, etc. and figure out how you can minimize the time you spend on these time-wasting activities. Endeavor to spend little time on little workouts throughout the day if possible.
You don't need to spend long hours on a fitness workout. Simple 10-20 minutes exercise can keep you active for as long as you desire. You can also determine your own ways to find time for exercise.

I am now completely cancer-free, which is a miracle! I am overwhelmed by all the love and support (both emotional and financial) that I have received, much of it from people who have never even met me. I feel blisscombobulated!
Now that I have reclaimed my health, I am still on a journey back to financial abundance. I was $500,000 in debt after 6 years of cancer treatments not covered by insurance, and the inability to work during much of that time. Thanks to fundraisers that have been thrown for me, and donations from family/friends/fans all over the world, that debt has been cut in half.
I have thrown my pride and ego out the window, and I'm glad I finally came out of the cancer closet.
If you are interested in making a donation, any amount really helps ~ not just financially, but it truly boosts my spirit.
You can either send a check (payable to Suzanne Whang):

Thank you, beyond the beyond.
Big gobs of love,

The Food Network star's fast-casual chain is preparing for expansion.
Food Network fans will soon have a chance to do business with one of its biggest stars, Bobby Flay. The chef has refined his fast-casual chain, Bobby's Burger Palace, and is preparing for expansion.
According to a recent article in Nation's Restaurant News, 16 out of the 17 existing units are currently owned by the company. The last is licensed to Connecticut's Mohegan Sun Casino. Flay is looking to license the brand in new markets across the U.S.
In an email interview with Nation's Restaurant News, Flay said, "We have been patient in developing the concept and have waited to grow more aggressively until we felt the concept and the business were ready."
In 2016, the company's revenue surpassed $34 million, and it's continuing to see success. According to Nation's Restaurant News, Flay aims to create global brand recognition for Bobby's Burger Palace, and licensing the brand is the first step to achieving this goal.

For many the word Chanel brings many different thoughts, classic, timeless, quilted, and even Karl Largerfeld. It was not so long ago that I used to believe that I was too young for a Chanel, my mum and aunt were more likely to be seen with with one, obviously this is not the case. Perhaps I thought it was way too out of reach for me, a much higher price point than any other bag I had ever bought before. From a young age my mum and aunt have been been my fashion influencers if you like. I remember the first Louis Vuitton which entered our house is one which I will never forget and the packaging opening and the dust bag uncovering the screams of excitement. Once I began going shopping with mum and seeing the service and packaging…my addiction started. Making a luxury purchase is just that, luxury. It's not one that is done everyday and when I do it, it's really special. Believe it or not I once started with a Burberry pochette when I was 16, more than 10 years ago. The collection has grown from there. I've discovered new designers along the way like Louis Vuitton, Mulberry, Gucci, YSL but Chanel had always remained the pinnacle.
Nothing haunts you like the things you didn't buy, when I was in Heathrow Terminal 3 earlier in the year and spotted a Chanel, I had a quick browse but made no purchases. Afterwards mum spouted some sh*t about how it wasn't the right time, I was changing the kitchen…blah blah blah….but it played on my mind. She talked me down that time but I couldn't be talked out of it this time.
A couple of weeks ago, I made the longing decision and took the plunge to buy a Chanel. I have been thinking about this for a while, as many of you know I travel with work, and when a trip to the states flying from Heathrow Terminal 5 popped up, I began to think of my next purchase. Terminal 5 doesn't stock core Chanel stock so I knew the 2.55 was out of the question. To make the first step I would have to start smaller. I wanted something small and classic. TaaDaa…the Classic Quilted Wallet on Chain was the perfect choice to start, well classic was in the title, how could I say no. It is a versatile bag, that is surprisingly deceptive, it can be worn as a clutch, cross body bag or the chain doubled up for an evening bag. It's much bigger than I first thought. It fits in all your everyday essentials, I can easily fit my phone, lipstick, concealer & sunglasses as well as money and cards. There are 6 credit card slots with a zip pouch for coins. Not to mention the secret long compartment in the opening flap! There is also a small pocket on the back of the bag. Albeit, I'm not able to keep my 6 lipsticks and diary that I have in my normal day to day bag but for this I am willing to make that sacrifice.
Now what colour. Lots of people choose black but I have a number of black bags so I needed something that would do with navy, I really wanted nude but was happy to settle for navy. Hardware, if nude it had to be gold by if navy it had to be silver.
In the end, as you can see, the nude wasn't available and as I have learnt from Chanel, taking what's available is a good choice. Lamb skin and calfskin is a decision to be made before you arrive. Lamb skin is the classic soft Chanel leather, but it does mark very easily. The calf skin is a much more durable leather but it is grainy. I could live with grainy leather, as I know I need a tough bag to deal with my clumsy ways. From first sight, I was in love, but really I was rushing for my flight so I was trying to act cool, despite the fact I was sweating with both excitement and nerves that I may miss my flight.
Now on to pricing, some of you may be wondering why I keep mentioning Heathrow Terminal 5, that's because you get the bag duty free there…my own justification to buy it. Brag my Bag is the best place to find out prices about Chanel items, whatever it is you intend to buy and it's spot on. Chanel website leaves much to be desired but then that is the allure, the desire.
No matter what, like all my bags, they are an investment…or so I keep telling Chris. Even I've surprised myself just how much use I've got from it, dinners out, runs to Tesco, even a walk in the park with Stormont (no poo bags were added to the harm the Chanel in this walk!). It has been worth the saving for the short lived splurge. The price of these bags are only going to continue to increase so choose life and go and buy the Chanel.
Lashings of Love,
K xo

S1E2 - Soil: With and Without Soil
Soil Basics
Soil is one of the keys to growing great plants. Sure they need water and light, but without soil most plants would die. In the Bible man was made of the dust of the Earth. We are composed 100% of material that came from a plant or something that ate a plant … and those plants came from soil. They pulled nutrients and water from the soil along with CO2 from the air. Combine that with light for photosynthesis and you get plants!
For as long as mankind has been growing plants we have known the importance of the soil. As far back as 450 BC the Greek historian Xenophon, a student of Socrates, was writing about the merits of using weeds that are tilled under to help make soil more fertile. Skip ahead 500 years and you have the Romans using lime to adjust the pH of their soils and planting clover and alfalfa to help enrich the soil. Oddly enough, using cover crops and focusing on no till permaculture techniques is something that is considered a bit of cutting edge crop science today.
So what exactly is soil? Soil is a mixture of about 50% solids, of which 45% is mineral (rocks, sand, silt, and clay) and about 5% is organic matter. The other 50% is voids about half of which is water and the other half air. These voids are really important because they allow for the transportation of water and nutrients to roots. Compaction, a common problem in worked soils can hurt healthy root growth.
The processes that form soil are quite complex. You have erosion of the parent bedrock by wind and water, the addition of organic matter by plants and animals, and time. Over vast periods of time, the soils in an area will change and develop layers.
Key Terms
Amendments - anything added to the soil to improve its quality. This might be lime to adjust the pH, organic matter like leaves, or other ingredients like granulated fertilizers.
Humus - the scientific name for the organic component of soil. It is the result of the decomposition of leaves, grass clippings, and compost.
Garden Soil Testing
Testing your garden's soil is important. If you live in West Virginia, you can get your soil tested for free through WVU's soil testing lab.
Growing Media
Here at Bob's Market we use tons of potting mix and seed starting mix per week during our production season. To get a consistent mix we basically use an assembly line to add the raw ingredients to the mix. They drop onto a conveyor belt one ingredient at a time forming layers that then get mixed by a rototiller on steroids at the end of the line. Then the finished soil goes up an inclined conveyor belt and travels along the ceiling through a connector from our soil mixing room into our transplanting facility. There the soil gets diverted into hoppers for each production line. Finally it drops into flats, pots, or other containers in the flat fillers before travelling to the rest of the line where seedlings will either be transplanted by hand or by one of our robots. Finally, the planted flats go through a watering tunnel, get loaded onto carts and get sent to the greenhouse to finish growing.

About Peat Moss
95 percent of the sphagnum peat moss available in the United States comes from the Canadian Sphagnum Peat Moss Association. This organization emphasizes sustainable harvesting practices and restoration efforts. Canada has 111 million hectares (about the size of Washington, Oregon, and California) of peatlands, but only 17 thousand hectares (comparable to the city of Portland) is actively harvested. Of the 70 million tons of sphagnum peat naturally created every year in Canada, only 1.3 million tons are harvested.
After harvesting, fields are reseeded with live, shredded sphagnum. The wetlands are restored back to a functional state and allowed to grow naturally. They won't look the same for another thousand years, but the commitment to restore the peatlands' properties assures that the habitat is not lost.
Garden Wisdom
A society grows great when old men plant trees whose shade they know they shall never sit in.

Mom's Tweaked Cinnamon Rolls
Mom's Tweaked Cinnamon Rolls
Prep Time: 5 hours — dough takes time to rise, especially when you're letting it rise at least twice!!
Bake Time: 15 minutes
Yields: 25 cinnamon rolls, depending on how large or small you roll them. ;)
Recipe Level: Easy recipe, that is great to do with kids throughout the day, but it does take a lot of patience.
Cooking note: If you want to make cinnamon rolls for a holiday morning, or just for a Wednesday to celebrate that you are half-way through the week, I recommend make the dough the day before, then put it in the refrigerator. The next morning, let it come to room temperature before forming the cinnamon rolls.
1 ¾ cup warm water
½ cup of whole cane sugar (Sucanat)
1 TBSP of small granule salt
2 packages of active dry yeast
1 egg
1 1/2 cups of soft butter
6 cups of flour
1 ½ cups of powdered sugar
2 TBSP soft butter
¼ cup of whole milk
¼ tsp of vanilla or almond flavoring
Cinnamon Mixture
2 cups of sugar
3.5 - 4 tablespoons of cinnamon
To make the cinnamon roll dough:
- 1 ¾ cup warm water (105-115 degrees F) in a pre-rinsed hot water bowl.
- Sprinkle two packages of active dry yeast over the warm water.
- Add in whole cane sugar (Sucanat), granule salt (stir gently to dissolve completely), 1 egg, 1/2 cup soft butter and 3 cups of flour.
- Mix ingredients at medium speed for 2 minutes until smooth (or mix by hand with a wooden spoon for...10 min! Whatever floats your boat.)
- Add in another 1 cup of flour and slowly mix.
- Work the last 2 cups of flour in with hands, and continue to mix until smooth and elastic.
- Keep the dough in the bowl and take 1/4 cup of melted butter and brush the top of the dough with the melted butter.
- Cover the bowl with a hot damp towel for 2 hours until it doubles in size. Note: Butter may pool around the sides of the dough.
- Pinch down the dough and kneed to work in the excess butter.
- Brush the dough with another 1/4 cup of melted butter.
- Cover the bowl again with a hot damp towel and let the dough rise a second time for 1 hour.
- Take the dough out of the bowl, and on a floured surface, roll the dough out to ½ inch thick.
- Melt 1/4 melted butter (yes, I know, we're using a lot of butter!!) and brush the top side of the dough with the butter. Make sure the butter is melted, but not hot to the touch before brushing the dough.
- Create the Cinnamon Sugar Mixture. I tend to make a large amount for two reasons: First, I want to make sure I have plenty and don't have to make a second mixture that is possibly not as cinnamon-y as the first, and therefore there is no consistency; and second, extra cinnamon sugar can be used on a variety of other foods—toast, apples, sweet potatoes, etc.,—so having extra never hurts. I start with 2 cups of sugar, and 3.5-4 tablespoons of cinnamon. If you don't like a lot of cinnamon, then use less, but if you want more, you can always increase it.
- Sprinkle the top side of the dough with a mixture of cinnamon and sugar.
- Roll up the dough and cut into cinnamon rolls.
- Pre-Heat the oven to 370 degrees Fahrenheit
- Place the cinnamon rolls in a buttered dish and let rise a third time
- Bake for 15 minutes, making sure to rotate the pan half-way through baking (if you're into that sorta thing)
To make the icing:
- Mix together the powdered sugar, 2 TBSP soft butter, whole milk, vanilla (or almond flavoring). Make sure there are no lumps of butter.
- After the cinnamon rolls have cooled, drizzle the icing over them.
Serve and enjoy!! Best enjoyed with a nice hot cup of coffee or tea.
- Ingredients//1 3/4 cup warm water
- 2 packages active dry yeast
- 1/2 cup whole cane sugar
- 1 TBSP small granule salt
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup soft butter
- 6 cups flour
- 2 sticks melted butter
- cinnamon sugar for sprinkling Ingredients//Icing
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 2 TBSP soft butter
- 1/4 cup whole milk
- 1/4 tsp vanilla or almond flavoring

7 ways your appearance is tanking your job prospects
Hello fellow millennials. Sorry to be the bearer of the buzzkill, but in the name of professionalism we need to talk about how you dress at work. We need to talk about what to wear, but more importantly, what not to wear at work. As much as we love to express ourselves through our clothing and personal style, this form of expression could be getting in the way of our career advancement. According to a study by CareerBuilder, certain aspects of our appearance may be affecting our chances of getting a promotion.
What not to wear at work, ever.
1. Provocative or racy clothing
Sexy is a look best reserved for after office hours. Findings from the CareerBuilder study showed that 44% of managers would be less likely to promote someone who dressed provocatively. Even though "provocative" is subjective, it's a wise idea to opt for more conservative clothing (likely outlined in the company dress code), when you go to the office. Avoid shirts that are too tight, too low-cut or revealing.
2. Unfit footwear
The office is no place for flip flops, Crocs or anything rubber and made for outdoor use. It can be a challenge to find the balance between comfortable and professional, especially since each office has its own idea of what professional looks like. A good marker is to see what your bosses are wearing on their feet to have an idea of what's appropriate.
3. Visible tattoos
According to the CareerBuilder study, 27% of employers said they would be less likely to promote a person with visible tattoos. Of course, tattoos aren't something you can take off easily. If you're thinking about getting one, consider getting it in a place you can easily cover with clothing. If you already have a tattoo, covering it up with makeup may be a good option, if you're looking to be taken more seriously at the workplace.
4. Crazy haircuts
Haircuts deemed "ostentatious" were also one of the top factors that could rule you out of a potential promotion. If you like to get funky with your hairstyle, try to find a cut that can be professional during the week that can also be sculpted into something with more pizazz for nights and weekends.
5. Non-traditional piercings
Eyebrow, nose or non-traditional ear piercings may affect how your boss sees you. If you can, it may be a good idea to take your piercings out while you're at work as you'll be seen as more competent.
6. Unruly facial hair
Men with facial hair should invest in grooming said facial hair. Showcasing your magnificent beard isn't the issue, but if it's not properly trimmed and cleaned, it could cause problems with how you're perceived at work.
7. Wrinkled clothing
Wearing a wrinkled shirt or suit is a surefire way to undermine your professionalism. In fact, 43% of managers surveyed said wrinkled clothes or a disheveled appearance would affect whether they promoted an otherwise competent worker. Time to invest in an iron, guys.
