Oh it's been a hot minute (literally: so damn hot) since I sat down and wrote a Sundaze update. How are you all?! I've missed you guys! I missed last week's edition because I was still in post-Spanish holiday mode. That being said, I feel so refreshed and ready to take on the last 6 months of the year. Bring. It. On. I shared some notes on switching off in this week's newsletter — sign up to it here, and you'll receive a resend this evening.
Tomorrow, my brother, sister and I fly to Vienna to explore the city for 5 days. It's SO unlike me to book back-to-back trips, but this week has been a whirlwind of trying to get all of my work complete, unpack from Spain and repack for Austria. I've got a handful of other trips coming up too, and I'm trying my best to stop feeling guilty about being away so much! But hey, I'm in my twenties and according to that infamous millennial proverb: 'You only live once'.
Trying out new blog things!
With that in mind, I put some solid hours aside this week to work on Daisybutter and its' connected platforms. First, updating my cornerstone content document (you can learn more about this in this week's newsletter!) so that I can easily showcase archived posts. Then, really working on elevating my imagery.
It's no secret that the blogging industry has evolved so much that Instagram has taken over and that photos are what draws the everyday reader in. And I'm, by nature and trade, a writer. I work with a selection of talented photographers, but have wanted to push myself for MONTHS. Enter my creativity challenge whereby I've managed to craft 5 Daisybutter presets on Lightroom (this took me about 7 hours collectively and was SO fun once I got the hang of it) and spend several hours honing my Instagram grid craft. I feel so inspired towards all of my platforms at the moment and can't wait to see what's next.
I ran the Race for Life! … then we went to London with Milo
Louise and I only went and ran the Race for Life in aid of Cancer Research UK in searing 30C heat! It was Sod's Law that the heatwave ended the day after our run… But regardless, we bloody did it and I managed to do it in 43 minutes, which isn't *too* bad considering the heat. I got through three bottles of water on the route!
Afterwards, we peeled off our gymwear, showered, packed a car full of dog toys, water bottles and portable bowls and made a beeline for London in the car. It was Milo's first time in the city and he surprised us all, taking to the busy city like a duck to water. It's safe to say my little mister is a city kinda dude! We bought food at Baker Street and walked through Regent's Park and up Primrose Hill for a picnic overlooking the London skyline. Primrose Hill remains to be one of my favourite spots!
Visiting the lavender fields with Ghenet
Then I took her to my favourite local coffee shop — Groundworks in Hitchin — for grilled cheese, lemonade and a mini shoot and interview for her newsletter. (Sign up here to read my interview!) We came away with paper bags full of lavender, camera reels of floral photography, and a whole load of inspiration and advice-giving exchanges. Ghenet is one of those rare breeds of human that I instantly clicked with and couldn't imagine not having as a friend!
Links I've Loved:
- I've made no secret of the fact that I find Rosie's blog incredibly inspiring, and her bread recipe cemented that fact. Find it here, as well as her zero waste post, over on Cider with Rosie.
- Alongside my blogging kick this week, I loved Kristabel's helpful video on creating a content calendar. I already have one that I've made through Google Calendar, but her tips are especially useful if you don't know where to begin.
- One of my current favourite food blogs is Cupful of Kale. Tamsin creates delicious vegan recipes (tried and tested!) that aren't intimidating, are oh so accessible, and that are always accompanied by beautiful photos. And I adored her Creamy Brazil Nut Pesto Pasta recipe.
- Ghenet left her make-up behind by accident while on holiday, and has shared a post all about a month make-up free. Such an insightful and inspiring read!
- Classic diary-like blog posts remain to be my favourite and Erica's little photo diary update felt so nostalgic to read!
- After a fresh, delicious and filling breakfast recipe? Gem's recipe for Coconut and Banana Overnight Oats sounds SO good.
- Hannah's Indonesian travel photo diary instantly transported me back to Bali, and I totally want to visit the surrounding islands too now.
- And in the spirit of making conscious choices as much as I can, this post from Tilly lists essentials for any new vegan and I found it really helpful.

Class Central Tips
-One step of gathering domain knowledge and knowledge of the system that was and the system to be is through artifact-driven elicitation. Here we will discuss what artifact-driven elicitation entails, how to go about learning background from the stakeholders, and methods to obtain and deal with the data.
Storyboarding and Scenarios
-As you talk with customers early on, developing storyboards and scenarios help. They are easily communicable to both the customer and later to developers and work in all software development lifecycles. Mockups and prototypes can also be used- CAREFULLY. Here we explain these concepts along with their large benefits and dangers.
Reusing Existing Knowledge
-In understanding the system to be and the system that was, existing knowledge of the domain and current scenarios needed are helpful. These can be related back to models. This lesson discusses knowledge that can be obtained, from what resources, and how that can be mapped to existing models for help in further elicitation.
Interviewing- Learning from the Sources
-Knowledge of the system-as-is and the system-to-be can be obtained through interviews. While the concept of conducting an interview seems easy overall, an efficient and effective interview is challenging to conduct. Here we'll talk about guides to meeting effectiveness and guidelines for conducting a useful interview, specifically for determining what the stakeholder has and needs.

You can specify which axes to display on the chart, and give them custom labels and positions, ranges.
Not all charts show axis lines by default. You can specify exactly which axes your chart should show using the
chxt parameter. Default axis lines do not show numbers; you must specify an axis in the
chxt parameter to show numbers.
You can choose to have your axes display numbers reflecting the data values, or you can specify custom axes. The default is to display numeric values, with values scaled to range from 0—100. However, you can change that range using
chxr to display another range.
This section covers the following topics:
- Visible Axes (
chxt) - Which axes to display.
- Axis range (
chxr) - Value range for each axis.
- Custom Axis Labels (
chxl) - Custom values to show on the axis.
- Axis Label Styles (
chxs) - Color, size of axis labels.
Visible Axes
Bar, line, radar, and scatter charts show one or two axis lines by default, but these lines do not include values. To display values on your axis lines, or to change which axes are shown, you must use the
chxt parameter. By default, the axis values range from 0-100, unless you scale them explicitly using the
chxr property. To hide all axis lines in a line chart, specify
:nda after the chart type value in the
cht parameter (example:
chxt= <axis_1> ,..., <axis_n>
<axis>An axis to show on the chart. Available axes are:
x- Bottom x-axis
y- Left y-axis
t (Top x-axis) and
r (right y-axis) and multiple axes (e.g. x,x,y) are currently not supported.
You can suppress default axes in a line chart by specifying :nda after the chart type.
Axis Range
You can specify the range of values that appear on each axis independently using the
chxr parameter. Unlike in Google Image Charts the axis range is related to the data range, which make sense. Specifying
chxr will change the scale of the chart elements.
You must make an axis visible using the
chxt parameter if you want to specify its range.
Separate multiple axis label ranges using the pipe character ( | ).
chxr= <axis_index>,<start_val>,<end_val>,<opt_step> |...| <axis_index>,<start_val>,<end_val>,<opt_step>
<axis_index>Which axis to apply the range to. This is a zero-based index into the axis array specified by
chxt. For example, the y-axis would be 1 in
<start_val>A number, defining the low value for this axis.
<end_val>A number, defining the high value for this axis.
<opt_step>[Optional] The count step between ticks on the axis. If there is no default step value; the step is calculated to try to show a set of nicely spaced labels.
This example shows both x and y axes (
Each axis has a defined range. Because no step is specified, values are taken from the given range and are evenly spaced within that range. In the line chart, values are evenly spread along the x-axis.
Y axis will have a range from 0 to 100 (
chxt=x,y chxr=1,0,100
In this example, we are defining values (
chd) from -30 to 50 and allowing them in the scale of -100,100 (
The Y axis range (
chxr) is set from -50 to 50 and both axis are visible (
chxt=x,y chd=t:20,30,40,50,-30,10 chds=-100,100 chxr=1,-50,50
Custom Axis Labels
You can specify custom string axis labels on any axis, using the
chxl parameter. You can specify as many labels as you like. If you display an axis (using the
chxt parameter) and do not specify custom labels, the standard, numeric labels will be applied. To specify a custom numeric range, use the
chxr parameter instead.
Specify one parameter set for each axis that you want to label. Separate multiple sets of labels using the pipe character (
chxl= <axis_index>:|<label_1>|...|<label_n> |...| <axis_index>:|<label_1>|...|<label_n>
<axis_index>Which axis to apply labels to. This is an index into the chxt parameter array. For example, if you have
chxt=x,x,y,ythen index 0 would be the first x-axis, 1 would be the second x-axis. Currently only customizing the x-axis is supported.
<label_1>| ... |<label_n>One or more labels to place along this axis. These can be string or number values; strings do not need to be in quotes. label_1 is displayed at the lowest position on the axis, and label_n is displayed at the highest position. Additional labels are spaced evenly between them. Indicate spaces with a + mark. There is no way to specify a line break in a label. Separate labels with a pipe character. Note: Do not place a pipe after the final label in the
This example shows how to add custom labels to two axes. Note how the values are evenly spaced, and how the last
chxl value does not end with a pipe.
cht=lc chxt=x,y chxl=0:|Jan|Feb|March|April|May chd=t:10,5,34,10,5 chco=76A4FB chls=2.0 chs=700x190
Labels also work in bar charts:
cht=bvs chxt=x,y chxl=0:|Jun|July|Aug| chd=t:10,40,25 chf=b0,lg,90,03a9f4,0,3f51b5,1 chs=700x190 chan=1200,easeOutBounce
Axis Label Styles
You can specify the font size, color for axis labels, both custom labels and default label values. All labels on the same axis have the same format. If you have multiple copies of an axis, you can format each one differently. You can also specify the format of a label string, for example to show currency symbols or trailing zeroes.
Values for multiple axes should be separated using a pipe character ( | ).
chxs= <axis_index><opt_format_string>,<opt_label_color>,<opt_font_size>,<opt_alignment>,<opt_axis_or_tick>,<opt_tick_color>,<opt_axis_color><skip_labels> |...| <axis_index><opt_format_string>,<opt_label_color>,<opt_font_size>,<opt_alignment>,<opt_axis_or_tick>,<opt_tick_color>,<opt_axis_color><skip_labels>
<axis_index>The axis to which this applies. This is a zero-based index into the
<opt_format_string>[Optional] This is an optional format string that, if used, follows immediately after the axis index number without an intervening comma. It starts with a literal letter N followed by the following values, all optional: The formatting string syntax is as follows:
N<preceding_text>*<number_type><decimal_places>zs<x or y>*<following_text>Here is the meaning of each element:
<preceding_text>- Literal text to precede each value.
*...*- An optional block wrapped in literal asterisks, in which you can specify formatting details for numbers. The following values are supported, and are all optional:
<number_type>- The number format, for numeric values. Choose one of the following:
f- [Default] Floating point format. Consider specifying precision as well with the
p- Percentage format. A % sign is appended automatically. Note: When using this format, data values from 0.0 — 1.0 map to 0 — 100% (for example, 0.43 will be shown as 43%).
e- Scientific notation format. 🚧
c<CUR>- Format the number in the currency specified, with the appropriate currency marker. Replace
with a three-letter currency code. Example: cEUR for Euros. You can find a list of codes on the ISO web site, although not all symbols are supported.
<decimal_places>- An integer specifying how many decimal places to show. The value is rounded (not truncated) to this length. Default is 2.
z- Display trailing zeros. Default is no.
s- Display group separators. Default is no.
x or y-Display the data from the x- or y-coordinate, as specified. The meaning of x data varies by chart type: experiment with your chart to determine what it means. Default is 'y'.
<following_text>- Literal text to follow each value.
<opt_label_color>[Optional] The color to apply to the axis text (but not axis line), in RRGGBB hexadecimal format. Axis line color is specified separately using opt_axis_color. Default is black.
<opt_font_size>[Optional] specifies the font size in pixels. This parameter is optional.
<opt_alignment>[Optional] Label alignment. 🚧
<opt_axis_or_tick>[Optional] 🚧 Whether to show tick marks and/or axis lines for this axis.
l(lowercase 'L') - Draw axis line only.
t- Draw tick marks only. Tick marks are the little lines next to axis labels.
lt- [Default] Draw both an axis line and tick marks for all labels.
_- (Underscore) Draw neither axis line nor tick marks. If you want to hide an axis line, use this value.
<tick_color>[Optional] The tick mark color, in RRGGBB hexadecimal format. Default is black.
<opt_axis_color>[Optional] 🚧 The color of this axis line, in RRGGBB hexadecimal format.
<skip_labels>[Optional] Specify
sif labels on this axis should be hidden in case there are too many
Display the x-axis labels in
#FF00FF with a 13px font-size and
#FF0000 color for the y-axis.
&chxt=x,y &chxs=0,FF00FF,13|1,FF0000
&chxt=x,y &chxs=1N*cUSD2sz*Mil,000000
1N: style the y axis (because x is 0 and y is 1 in
cUSD: display the dollar currency
2: display 2 decimals places
z: Display trailing zeros
sDisplay group separators
Mil: append "Mil" to each label
Chart below has an x-axis with 1 trailing zero (z) colored in black with 10px font-size and an y-axis with a $ currency suffixed by Mil, colored in
#007939 with a 20px font-size.
&chxt=x,y &chxs=0N*f1z*,000000,10|1N*cUSD*Mil,007939,20
Chart below has too many labels in the x axis:
Thus we use
<skip_labels> (see
0,s, 0 means x axis and
s means skip labels) to only let Image-Charts only display some of them:
&chxt=x,y &chxs=1N**ºC,000000|0,s

Nutritional Solutions - by Jeanne M. Wallace, PhD, CNC
Jeanne M. Wallace, PhD, CNC is widely regarded as one of the most prominent experts in nutritional oncology. She is the founder and director of Nutritional Solutions which provides consulting to Cancer patients throughout the U.S. and abroad about evidence-based dietary, nutritional and botanical support to complement conventional cancer care. She completed her undergrad studies magna cum laude at Boston University, earned her Nutrition Consulting degree at Bauman College in Santa Cruz, CA, and completed her PhD in Nutrition through American State University. She is board certified in Holistic Nutrition, and is a member of the Society of Integrative Oncology and the National Association of Nutrition Professionals.
She is an independent consultant to oncologists, naturopaths and other health care providers working with cancer patients, and has provided educational training to numerous integrative cancer centers. Her informative and inspiring presentations have been featured at dozens of cancer conferences across the U.S. With the recent explosion of studies being published in the field of nutritional oncology, she has dedicated her efforts to full-time translational research and protocol development at Nutritional Solutions. This allows us to remain at the forefront of the field.
Specializing in primary Malignant brain tumors since 1997, Dr. Wallace and her team also have extensive experience working with clients with breast, ovarian, endometrial, colorectal, pancreatic, squamous cell head-and-neck cancers, and malignant melanoma.
Click on the link below to view a presentation Jeanne M. Wallace gave in September 2012 at the Seattle Brain Tumour conference which explains a little about brain tumours and how nutrition may impact your brain tumour journey...
Dr. Wallace's approach is grounded in the evolving understanding of the interrelationship between nutritional and metabolic factors and the hallmark characteristics of cancer cells. Cancer cells do not exist in isolation: they are influenced by the environment within the body. Our goal is to teach our clients dietary and lifestyle strategies to modulate this environment, so that it is a less favorable host for Tumor growth and progression. This approach is particularly well-suited as a complement to conventional medical treatments for cancer, and allows our clients to optimize their care by integrating the best of both worlds.
Jeanne says, 'I have been deeply touched by cancer on a personal level many times throughout my nearly-five-decades long life. I have lost dear friends and family members, been the caregiver to a partner with a GBM IV brain tumor, and nurtured many loved ones on the path of long-term survivorship. My life's mission is to empower those facing cancer...because there are powerful anti-cancer tools at your farmer's market, in your backyard garden plot, in your kitchen, and, hopefully, on your fork! The field of oncology is changing, and there is an emerging understanding of the healing power of foods. We now have the science that explains—at the molecular and genetic level—exactly how nutrition impacts cancer. My passion is presenting that research to you and giving you the tools to incorporate it into your daily life.'
Can we work together even though I live far from your office?
Yes, we offer distance consulting and serve clients throughout the U.S. and abroad. When you hire our services, we provide you with a comprehensive educational packet. This packet will help you begin to harness the power of nutrition for yourself. It also serves as a compendium of information to which you can refer back as needed. Once you've had a little time to review the information, we'll set up a consult via telephone, email, Skype or Vyew. Vyew is a browser-based platform that allows us to collaborate together online—by phone, instant messaging or webcam—while simultaneously viewing slide tutorials or sharing files. It's free and doesn't require you to download anything: just use your internet browser to go the the URL link we provide, and we'll be in the same "virtual†room together.
How to become a client
Changing your diet and taking supplements requires a commitment and effort on your part. If you are willing to make that effort, we will be a great team. Our goal will be to educate and empower you to support your innate healing capacity using nourishing foods, healing herbs, and dietary supplements appropriate for your needs.
Here is a checklist of the materials you will need to submit in order to become a client. Print the PDF files.
NOTE: Your intake will not be considered complete until we have received the five items listed below.
The Intake Questionnaire, which describes your medical and health history:
- For clients with brain tumors
- A Diet Evaluation Worksheet
- Drug-Nutrient Interaction Worksheet
- A photograph of yourself (pre- or post-diagnosis), which helps us get to know you better
- A signed and dated Consent Form, which also provides your payment information
When you have collected all the appropriate materials, please send them to us via:
MAIL: Nutritional Solutions, 1697 East 3450 North, North Logan, UT 84341 USA
When we have received your completed intake forms, we will mail you a packet including my comprehensive report of foods, diet practices and supplements that have published studies supporting their usefulness for your type of cancer. During our telephone consultations, we will review the research with you, discuss how you can implement a personalized protocol and answer any questions you may have.
Follow-up appointments can be scheduled as needed to monitor your progress. We offer consulting by phone, fax, email or Skype.
Please call us if you have any questions about these materials or the intake process. Office hours are Monday-Thursday 9am-5pm Mountain Time (USA). We look forward to working with you, and we wish the best in your healing journey.

ECO hears rumours that Parties have discussed the possibility of having a Technical Examination Process (TEP) on adaptation, and we'd be delighted if this was true. After all, there are more gaps in these negotiations than even ECO can keep track of, from gigatonnes to dollars. Adaptation appears to be one of the victims of process, and seemingly never has its time to shine. Finance for adaptation remains grossly insufficient, and more action is needed to increase the resilience of vulnerable communities and ecosystems.
An adaptation TEP might just be the match made in heaven to ensure that there is both a technical conversation with concrete recommendations and political commitment, which would in turn increase adaptation actions. It's high time to kickstart action on the ground.
However, while Workstream 2 can be a great vehicle to get adaptation off the ground, it needs to be done in earnest. An adaptation TEP has a lot to offer to vulnerable people by engaging experts and catalysing action. But it must not become a topic that slows down the good pace of WS2 that has been evident this past week. Nor can it become a delaying tactic for the remaining thorny bits, including the many pivotal mitigation elements.
Even with the prospect of happy union between TEP and adaptation on the table, these precious elements should not fall by the wayside. Parties need to stay engaged with the issues at hand: accelerating the implementation of mitigation in the pre-2020 period, appointing high-level champions, and ensuring the necessary support is provided. Only after we've locked down these essential elements of WS2 should we export other possibilities.

Avelumab is an immunotherapy drug that is currently in development for the treatment of NSCLC. A clinical trial involving 2,200 patients – 53 of whom were diagnosed with unresectable peritoneal or pleural mesothelioma tumors – found this medication allowed for a median progression-free period of 17.1 weeks. Existing tumors were shrunk in 10% of patients as well. Phase II trials from this mesothelioma treatment are expected to begin in 2017.
As with many other immunotherapy drugs, Avelumab works by targeting PD-L1, a protein that prevents the immune system from fighting cancer on its own. Once these proteins are identified, Avelumab is able to expose them to the immune system, allowing the body to prevent the progression of cancer cells. This second-line treatment for pleural and peritoneal mesothelioma may offer hope to men and women who are no longer benefiting from chemotherapy, although it is not currently known when it will be made available for use outside of trial groups.
There is no cure for mesothelioma, but existing treatments can greatly improve quality of life and help slow the progression of this deadly disease. To learn about your treatment options and the legal resources available to help you get compensation for them, please contact The Williams Law Firm online or by calling (855) 955-6376 today.

Tofino Will Sell Out Soon
Tofino Cedar top acousticBased on current sales trends it appears almost certain that the available stock of Tofino, our most popular guitar, will sell out before the next shipment arrives in our loft. The upshot is that there are very few available for December holiday orders. If you plan to surprise a loved one with their very own Tofino this winter it may be a smart move to shop early. As in past years, we would be happy to hold your purchase in our humidity controlled loft until closer to the gift date. Just let us know when we should ship it. Tofino Order Page

Above: St Joseph's Celtic band members Amy Young and Elijah van Galen
IT WAS a shared interest in Irish songs between staff and students that saw the formation of St Joseph's very own Celtic band four years ago.
While the other kids are enjoying their Friday lunch, the band has been busy practising for its slot in the line-up at this weekend's National Celtic Festival at Portarlington.
Under the keen eye of music teacher Amy Young, the band has gone from casual lunchtime jam sessions to performing for the festival masses.
"We've got a good bunch of kids now. At one point it was more staff than students," she said.
"This is our third time now at Portarlington." The band has 10 members, with students from Years 8 to 11 involved.
Ms Young said the group usually attracted new members, many who had never been exposed to Celtic music before, after playing the mid-year concert.
Year 8 student Elijah van Galen was one of those students. Joining the band towards the end of Year 7 as a modern flute, Irish flute and tin whistle player, Elijah had never picked up even a standard flute before coming to the school.
"Celtic music is fun to play, and it's a bit more advanced than other things," he said.
Ms Young said the band had been performing gigs around town to prepare for the festival. "We've been going hard at it since the start of the year. Most of the students come into the group not playing Celtic music before." St Joseph's College isn't the only school involved with the festival this year.
Year 1-2 students at Portarlington Primary School have been collecting old bottles for their contribution to the weekend's festivities.
Art teacher Tim O'Hara said the students were excited to be supporting the Enchanted Tree workshop, in which children turn plastic e bottles into flower-shaped solar lights, which will be attached to trees around the festival.

Virginia WOOLF
Item#: 111977
We're sorry, this item has been sold
WOOLF, Virginia. Jacob's Room. Richmond: Published by Leonard and Virginia Woolf at the Hogarth Press, 1922. Octavo, original yellow cloth, printed paper label on spine, uncut, original dust jacket. Housed in a custom clamshell box.
First edition of the first full-length novel published by the Hogarth Press, and an important success for Woolf, one of only 1200 copies. A splendid copy in the very rare original dust jacket designed by Woolf's sister Vanessa Bell, her first of many dust jackets designed for the Hogarth Press.
T.S. Eliot wrote to Woolf of this novel, published in 1922, a crucial year in the development of the modernist novel, "'You have freed yourself from any compromise between the traditional novel and your original gift. It seems to me that you have bridged a certain gap which existed between your other novels and the experimental prose of Monday or Tuesday, and that you have made a remarkable success.' And this, it seemed presently, was the opinion both of the reviewers and the public. Virginia was satisfied; Jacob's Room marks the beginning of her maturity and her fame" (Bell, Virginia Woolf, 319). This book also marks the moment when the Woolfs decided to run their Hogarth Press as a genuine business concern: "With the publication of Jacob's Room the decision was taken to establish the Hogarth Press as a business concern and in future to publish all Mrs. Woolf's works" (Kirkpatrick, 17). Self-publishing Jacob's Room gave Virginia Woolf "an artistic freedom and a degree of self-determination she prized above all else. The completion and publication of the novel led Virginia… to a period of great fertility" (Willis, 61).
"Jacob's Room was an important milepost for the press in several ways. It was the Woolfs' longest book published to date, it was the first novel, and it was one of the first books to be printed by R. & R. Clark of Edinburgh, thus initiating a long and fruitful association between publisher and printer. Virginia's sister, Vanessa Bell, designed her first dust wrapper for the press, which was printed in cinnamon and black. [Bell designed bindings and contributed illustrations to Woolf's Kew Gardens in 1919 and Monday or Tuesday in 1921, but this is her first dust jacket.] Most important, Jacob's Room marked Virginia's complete break from Duckworth into the freedom of self-editing and self-publishing. There had been no problem with the Hogarths printing the stories in Monday or Tuesday, but the Woolfs had to seek and gain permission from Gerald Duckworth to end Virginia's contract when it came to her new novel [Jacob's Room]. Gerald agreed, although Virginia thought him 'a little cross'" (Willis, 60-61). "Virginia was pleased with the dust jacket for Jacob's Room which Vanessa designed that summer: Leonard suggested alterations in the lettering and Virginia chose the colors used… [Bell] produced all the subsequent dust jackets for Virginia's books, and many others besides, as well as the colophon of a wolf's head. These all helped to create a certain house style and made a distinctive contribution to the Hogarth Press" (Spalding, Vanessa Bell, 197-98). With 14 pages of publisher's advertisements at rear; without tipped-in signed subscriber's slip, present in only 40 copies, no priority established. Kirkpatrick A6. Woolmer 26.
Text fine, only faint trace of soiling to bright cloth; lightest edge-wear, small open tears to rear panel and front flap fold, expert repair to front panel, toning to spine of colorful dust jacket. A desirable copy in exceedingly rare dust jacket.

Child Poverty in the UK
The Mothers' Union plays an active part in the coalition Grow Up Free From Poverty formerly known as
International Action Against Child Poverty (IAACP)
One of the main aims of the coalition is to make more young people aware of the causes and effects of child poverty and encourage them to be actively involved in their communities.
The Background
3.6 million children live in poverty in the UK - 28% of all children. Children in poverty experience disadvantage and lack of opportunity. They are denied good health, education, housing and social activities. They often have low self esteem. Child poverty also affects the life chances of subsequent generations.
The UK government aimed to halve child poverty by 2010 and eradicate it by 2020. The Church must bring pressure to bear on the government to ensure it achieves this goal!
A Prayer
Creator God, in whose image we are all made, enable us to see that each person has an equal place in your plan. We pray for families facing the chasm of poverty, spirits daunted and dimmed by unemployment, burdened by debt, and opportunities but a dream. We pray for the lifting of crippling poverty so that the children of today and tomorrow may fly on soaring wings, with dreams strengthened into reality. Together with those in authority, may we in our churches, our homes and our work have the imagination to satisfy the priorities of the poor, and bring security, health and laughter to the children of our nation. Amen
The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has sent me to bring good news to the poor... to set free the oppressed.' Luke 4:18

Because of the fact that these cranes are so incredibly expensive, most local contractors can't afford to buy their own.

More time for what matters.
Grow the medical practice, automatically
Find patients, Free up time, Help more people
See what doctors are saying…
"I don't have enough time to care for my patients."
Between clinical documentation, compliance, billing/coding and managing the business, growing your practice can be an afterthought.
What if you had a system in place for automating the many repetitive things that you and your staff does every day? What would it look like to give your patients 24/7 access to your office online, while freeing up 25% of your admin time every day? What if you could assure that you would be paid on time for the care you provide?
Let technology work in the background for you so that you can be with your patients.
Eliminate admin work and help patients:
Find you online
Jane Doe looks up everything online: movies, coworkers and restaurants. When she can't find you online, that's a red flag. And it's true across healthcare — 25% of patients research their doctor online, a figure that's surging annually.
Book you online
Jane Doe isn't feeling great on the train. She needs an appointment but can't call now. Since she can't book you discretely, she finds another provider who she can. By 2019 two out of three patients will request appointments online.
Pay you online
Jane Doe, and nearly every other patient (90%), wants to have the option to pay you online. At 9PM on a Sunday after seeing your bill on the counter, she remembers to pay. But your billing office is closed and the opportunity is lost.
Let your staff tailor your practice to your patients.
Sure, we'll promote your practice to patients online. But we'll also give you the tools and training to allow your staff to do it themselves.
Quickly post announcements and articles. Update your site's forms, menus and design. Automatically promote through social media. Change how and when patients can book appointments online.
We help doctors, dentists, chiropractors and healthcare practices attract new patients, collect more money and eliminate time consuming admin. We start by updating your website. From there, we help you take care of as many patients as you can.
It starts with your reputation
Step 1. Gather requirements.
Step 2. Update your web presence.
Step 3. Promote your practice.
Step 4. Fix IT problems and cut admin.
Step 5. Review results and repeat.
Healthgrades, Yelp, Google Maps, ZocDoc and more
Online mobile friendly, HIPAA & PCI compliant patient payments within your site
Book more simply with secure appointment requests 24/7
No contract terms, no questions asked money back
It is hard for healthcare practitioners to find time to care for patients while juggling regulatory compliance, increasing admin burdens, continuing medical education and reimbursement headaches.
And now with higher out-of-pocket and adoption of social media and medical web apps, patients are researching care options. Most are finding their physicians online. Practices that don't stand out online are missing appointments with the patients who care most about their health.
While more important than ever, promoting the practice is overlooked because of everything else that has to be done. Practices need a way to put the promotion on "auto-pilot" to focus on patient care.
Meddkit promotes healthcare practices resulting in more patient appointments, better satisfaction scores and an improved reputation online. Our clients are healthcare practices that are seeing new patients or looking to better monetize their services.

According to ancient texts there was a fourth pyramid located at Giza plateau and it was made of a dark or black granite-like stone.
During the 1700's, Frederic Norden, a Danish naval captain, and explorer, made extensive notes, drawings and maps of pyramids, ancient monuments and the architecture, etc. which was published in his book Voyage d'Egypte et de Nubie.
On page 120 of his book Norden describes the mysterious fourth Pyramid:
"The principal pyramids are at the east, south-east of Gize.
There are four of them; that deserve the greatest attention of the curious.
For tho we see seven or eight others in the neighborhood, they are nothing in comparison to the former.
The two most northerly pyramids are the greatest and have five hundred feet perpendicular height. The two others are much less, but have some particularities, which occasion their being examined and admired."
"It is without coating, closed and resembles the others, but without any temple like the first.
It has however, one particular deserving remark; which is, that its summit is terminated by a single great stone, which seems to have served as a pedestal.
The fourth pyramid has been made, upwards above the middle, of a stone more black than the common granite, and at least as hard. Its summit is of a yellowish stone."
"I shall speak elsewhere of its top, which terminates in a cube.
It is, moreover, situated out of the line of the others being more to the west…it makes a series with the three others."
Although Norden's descriptions are very detailed and the excellent illustrations show the position of the fourth black pyramid located at some distance from the three well known pyramids at Giza, Egyptologists suggest that Norden accidentally refers to a satellite' pyramid of Menakure as a fourth pyramid.
But the satellite pyramids are made of sandstone while Norden described in detail that the fourth pyramid was made of a stone harder than granite and very dark or black. It seems unlikely that he has referred to a satellite pyramid.
So, is it possible that the Giza plateau once featured a fourth pyramid made of black or very dark granite or as Col. Vyse already suggested in 1840 that Norden has described one of the Menkaure satellite pyramids as the fourth black pyramid at Giza. The smaller Menkaure pyramids are indeed darker than the other pyramids, but certainly not black.
But something is not right. If we are looking at his drawings we see only four pyramids.
Is it possible that Norden overlooked the satellite pyramids which are close to the other ones?
Given the excellent descriptions and illustrations it seems unlikely that he missed the satellite pyramids, except if they have been (partially) buried in the sand.
Furthermore, let's assume he's right about the existence of a fourth dark/black pyramid, then where are the remains of this pyramid?
Views: 169
I found this article that comes from that book and interested me so much I decided to post it and see about the opinions of others...
Yes, and one can't help but wonder, what i really true about all of this?
These pyramids, for me, are much more ancient than historians claim them to be...
Yes, that would be real cool!
Also ask him about the fourth pyramid...
Yes, someone once posted something(in another site) that had a darker pyramid with the gold capstone, but it seems that all the pyramids had that capstone, which has been lost through time.
As you say, may be this will remain a mystery, but may be since so many things are being unearthed now, these things may come to light, in the no too far future...

The initial capital expenditure of $23.6mln for Pershing Gold Corporation's (NASDAQ:PGLC, TSE: PGLC) Relief Canyon project in Nevada, according to a preliminary feasibility study (PFS), puts it among one of the least expensive projects in its class.
So said Jack Perkins, vice president of investor relations, speaking to Proactive's Andrew Scott.
Often, the capital spend for a project is $100,000 or up to $200,000 he says.
"Even at $24mln this is the lowest capex of any project in its class. It's just extraordinarily low."
"We see that as very reasonable," said Perkins, adding the firm is debt free, and has a lot of flexibility when it comes to financing options.
Last week, shares in Pershing advanced as it unveiled a NI 43-101 resource and preliminary feasibility study (PFS) for the project.
The project has 789,000 ounces of gold in the higher confidence measured and indicated category, and 45,200 in inferred.
"That is 99% oxide material so leached very well - we are getting more than 83% recoveries on it," said Perkins.
Significantly, 80% of the resource made it into the reserve category, meaning it is economically viable to exploit.
"That just speaks to the quality of the resource itself," said Perkins.
Also a maiden silver resource was stated for the project - at 2mln ounces.
The consultants who completed the PFS on the Nevada project have recommended that the site is advanced to a production decision stage, and Perkins says the board is now looking at that decision now.
The PFS was based on a mine plan and financial model with an annual average production of over 90,000 ounces of gold per year over a mine life of approximately six years.
The pre-tax net present value (NPV), or in other words, an overall value, was put at a tidy $144.6 million.
Stephen D. Alfers, Pershing Gold's chairman and chief executive said last week: "The PFS is a major milestone for Pershing Gold. We announced an upgraded mineral resource that includes proven and probable reserves of approximately 635,000 ounces of gold and 1.6 million ounces of silver," he said.
"The Relief Canyon deposit remains open in three directions, presenting the opportunity for continued expansion and extension of this mine," he added.
"The company will be reviewing various options to cover future capital needs, including debt, royalty or stream financing, gold off-take agreements, investment from strategic investors, or combinations of those approaches."
Perishing Gold shares are changing hands at $3.80 in Toronto.

Just in case we don't have a chance to talk before next week, I'd like to wish you a Happy Thanksgiving!
One of our major goals is to educate and provide thought leadership in our industry, so I thought this would be a good opportunity to share some essential Thanksgiving information:
The TV dinner was created because of Thanksgiving! In 1952, Swanson had over 250 tons of leftover turkey (and you thought your fridge was stuffed after most Thanksgivings), so they decided to package it in aluminum plates with sides.
Harry Truman did not, despite popular belief, conduct the first Presidential turkey pardon in 1947. That was actually the year of the first presentation of a turkey to the President from the National Turkey Federation, intended to promote the poultry industry (President Truman most likely ate it). The first recorded pardon was all the way back in 1863 by President Lincoln.
Wild turkeys can run as a fast as 25 miles per hour! (That's only slightly slower than Usain Bolt.)
Only male turkeys make "gobble" sounds.
And finally, my personal favorite: What do you get when you cross a turkey with a centipede? Drumsticks for everyone!
In all seriousness, we would really like to show how much we appreciate you in Austin next May 13-15. We're hosting our second TechConnect event with some excellent informational sessions, opportunities for networking, great food, and (of course) a lot of fun! We heard your feedback after the last event, and this TechConnect will be even better than the last. We'll have a full day of NeoNova breakout session, and we're thinking outside-the-box to make it a unique and useful experience.
Visit our TechConnect web page to learn more about the event, see what amazing activities we'll be offering, and reserve your spot. Remember, it's free for your first two employees, with steep discounts for additional employees and guests.
If you're interested in learning more about this or if you'd just like to discuss any of your NeoNova services, please get in touch.
On behalf of myself and the entire NeoNova family, I wish a very joyful Thanksgiving to you and your family!
– McG

Welcome to the time of your life
The Surf Lodge is a temporary settlement of a number of beautiful glamping tepees, built on the back of a hill with a view on the beautiful waves of the Asturias bay. It's hard to get closer to heaven on earth than this. The resort is 18+.
The Surf Lodge teepees are literally a dream to sleep in. You have a choice between Comfort and Deluxe tepees.
The Surf Lodge is located near one of the best surfing spots in Spain. Our bay is perfectly suited for both beginners and advanced surfers. Surf gear can be obtained for free.
There is a whole lot of stuff to do in the vicinity of The Surf Lodge. Try out sailing or look for secretly hidden gems indoors.
Camping does not always have to be basic: At The Surf Lodge, you get to sleep in huge, comfortable tepee tents of 20 square metres each, in which you can easily stand upright. You do not sleep on a sleeping mat or a sleeping bag, but in actual comfy beds, kitted with the softest mattresses and pillows. In addition, each tepee features a beautiful view on the sea, so you can patiently wait for the perfect swell. For those that are looking for that little bit of extra penache, we have Deluxe Tepees. These come with a wooden floor, a queen size bed, cupboards and even a personal little deck with beach chairs.
* glamorous camping
The Surf spot
The Surf Lodge can be found in one of the relatively unknown hidden gem on the Spanish Atlantic coastline. Asturias, a breath-taking location not too far from Santander, is a beautiful place hidden behind a high hill and features one of the most beautiful bays in the world, where the waves continuously break on the right spot, and the sun sets in the best location. The Lodge itself is situated on top of the hill and is a just a mere two-minute walk away from the beach.
Naturally, surfing will be the focus point of The Surf Lodge. We provide free surf gear (including a wetsuit) for all lodge inhabitants. You can intensively follow surf courses that are taught in three different levels: beginner, intermediate & advanced. In addition, there are a bunch of water sports (sailing, jetski, stand-up paddling, etc.) you can try nearby (San Vicente). You can do all sorts of free beach sports all week, on The Surf Lodge beach.
Each week, during the months of July and August, you can come chill at The Tipi Lodge (see below). The Teepees are suited for two to four people.
Bookings are already available at € 290 p.p. (comfort teepee) or € 390 p.p.(deluxe teepee).

After the mortgage crash of 10 years ago, stated income loans disappeared. These were loans where the lender did not verify income; they simply took borrowers at their word that they had the income that they stated. To some degree, the old stated-income mortgages were part of the reason for millions of foreclosures that threatened the entire global economy. As the housing market has come roaring back with the economy, many banks, lenders and mortgage brokers reintroduced the stated income refinance mortgage for qualified homeowners that posed less of a risk than borrowers a decade ago.
In 2018, stated-income refinance loans have made somewhat of a comeback. Today's stated-income refinance mortgages are not the same as the ones from more than 10 years ago; there are now stricter rules that dictate what features these types of loans can have. Loans that meet the new guidelines are called 'qualified mortgages.' Any stated-income mortgage loan that does not meet these guidelines is called a non-qualified mortgage.
The stated income refinance mortgage programs available today still do require you to prove your income. After the financial downturn, the US government passed new regulations requiring lenders to verify income. This is normally accomplished with pay stubs, W-2s and tax returns. But some people who work for themselves may not have these documents.
That is where the new stated income refinance loans are useful. Today, you will still need to prove your income, but you may not need to provide tax returns. The most common way to prove income for the self-employed person is to present 12 to 24 months of tax returns. These loans may be referred to by lenders as bank statement loans, or alternative income verification loans. So, you are not really just stating your income with these loans; you are simply providing alternate proof of your income.
If you are interested in a stated income refinance loan in 2018 and beyond, you can expect you will need at least a 620-credit score. Stated income loans represent a higher risk to the lender so credit score requirements may be much higher than this minimum number. Also, you will probably have to have more money down to get this type of loan. There are loans available through conventional means and FHA that require only 3% to 5% down, but with the higher risk level, expect to need to come up with at least 10% down and maybe more.
Are you looking for a no-documentation loan to reduce your current interest rate or get cash out? Some lenders may require you to have several months of cash reserves to qualify for a stated income refinance loan. They want to be sure that you have the money to pay the loan for at least three to six months before lending you money. But this will depend upon the lender.
Different Types of Stated Income Refinance Loans
There are several types of stated income loan that you may qualify for:
- SIVA: This is called a stated income/verified asset loan. This 'stated income mortgage' allows you to state the income you earn gross each month, but it requires you to verify the assets you state by giving out your bank statements or investment statements. This is a very popular option for homeowners seeking a stated-income refinance mortgage.
- SISA: This is a stated income/stated asset loan. You can state your gross monthly income and your assets. If you can find this type of loan, you will need to have a lot more money down, higher credit score and plenty of cash reserves.
When you qualify for a stated income loan with bank statements, the lender will ask you for one to two years of bank statements. It will calculate your monthly income by reviewing your deposit history during that period. It will arrive at an average over that period of time to come up with the income that it will use to qualify you for a loan.
Some people who want stated income loans are actually not looking for a home to live in themselves. This stated loan is intended for an investment property. It is common for self-employed borrowers who want to buy investment properties to use stated income loans to qualify.
Another situation where you may want to use a stated income loan is if you have a lot of money in the bank, but you do not have a regular income. People who do not have stable, regular income are harder to qualify with conventional loan products. The stated income loan can be a good choice.
The bottom line on these stated-loans is they are harder to come by, and you will probably need to somehow prove to the lender that you can pay the loan, whether that is with bank statements, investment account statements or some other type of asset verification.

On another promising day off, I wanted to squeeze in a quick post on when my family and I went to Cho Cho San last month. The last time I was here was about more than 2 years ago when it was still relatively young. I had not started my blog then but thankfully most of the same dishes still stay on the menu.
Everyone else on the table were huge fans of sashimi except for mum and I. It may be a tad premature to say but, this experience may have converted me a little. Maybe it had to do with the quality of fish being used and the concoction of sauces used. A plate of kingfish was ordered and I surprisingly liked it! I'm not an expert when it comes to the taste of different raw fishes as it all tasted the same to me but, I could definitely comment of how great the sauce was – super tangy and fresh and sweet at the same time. We decided to order the trout next and again, the sauce perfectly complimented the fish.
An array of other dishes followed soon after. I am a huge fan of miso marinated eggplant so I had to try it. I could always use more sauce drizzled on the top but this renditionw as great too. The crunchy exterior did not become soggy and gave a crunch in every bite.
Luscious full dumplings with a smooth and silky skin. The chilli that was promised with the dumplings gave subtle heat bringing it together in flavours.
The first time I had this the last time, I went to to recreate it almost every week till I became sick of it. Of course, without the crab bits as that would've been time consuming for me to prepare for a normal lazy dinner. It's great to have the crab addition this time round and glad to know that the flavours and texture remained consistent.
I've seen many renditions of this beef in terms of cuts and presentation. The last time I was here, it was thinly sliced with actual bits of pickled onion. The sauce remained the same. This time was a much thicker cut.
This was a different rendition of the agedashi toufu. The broth was much lighter and clearer than usual. The batter was also slightly different to how it's usually served. Nonetheless, it tasted great and always will be a must order at any Japanese joint.
Now for the desserts! We had these exact desserts the last time we were here as well. Absolutely still love the Japanese Pavlova! The amount of ginger in it is amazingly refreshing. And not to mention their oh-so-famous matcha ice cream. Great flavours but melts too fast!

Picture this. Your brand has a great piece of content that you want to share with the masses. Great! But do you know who the content is directed at or who would benefit from it? How much do you know about your target audience? If your answers are "somewhat" or "not a lot," then you're in need of a marketing reality check.
[Image credit: iStock/eternalcreative]
First things first: you need a plan. A marketing campaign without a strategy is like a ship without a sail. It's not going anywhere worthwhile if you can't steer it in the right direction. Not having a strategy behind your digital marketing plans could mean your content won't get the right reach, engagement, or make its way to the right people. And sure, you may have an idea of who your brand's main audience is, where they live and what they do, but how do you know that this is accurate? Maybe this is who you want to target, but are they really the people that have a need for your product or service?
Enter persona profiling
In a nutshell, persona profiling is the process of establishing who it is that you need to be targeting with your marketing efforts.
So why are personas so important to your strategy?
That's the million dollar question! It's because they help you understand your audience. You gather information about key behaviors, demographics, motivations and needs that define the target group. With this information, you can tailor your content and services to their specific behaviours and interests. When you have key details such as gender, age, and occupation, you're able to target your audience using social advertising on the platform they are most likely to use. If you're not sure how to begin, here are some tips that can help to develop your brand's persona.
Do your research
Building a persona is a data-led process. Since data is representative of human behaviour, the details your brand has about its consumers, trends, and purchasing habits can give you a push in the right direction. After you've analysed your data, get the people who most often engage with your consumers involved using internal questionnaires or interviews. Ask them what types of people are engaging most with the brand, and the types of people they aim to target. These details will provide the initial stage of creating your persona.
Next, conduct external questionnaires to get in touch with the people on the other side of the sales and marketing funnel. This will help you paint a clear picture of who you should be targeting.
The next step is social listening. To do this, you need to use a social listening tool that will help you to establish where your target audience is on social media, what channels they're using, what conversations they're having and what they're looking for in a product or service like yours..
You'll then find that the combination of results from all of this research will tell you who your audience is, and the methods they're likely to take to interact with your brand and the content you create.
Social Media and Targeting
In this day and age, most brands have a social media presence. Whether that's on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat, or any other social platform, as a brand you need to have all of the right information to best tailor your targeting options.
Unfortunately, not all social platforms offer the same targeting options, and some are much more advanced than others. Some, like Facebook and LinkedIn, allow you to be very specific with your targeting. This is due to the amount of information users provide when building and maintaining their profiles. Twitter, on the other hand, is more difficult, as it only collects limited data when someone creates a profile, and the character limits are very strict.
Remember though, you don't want to narrow personas down to the finest detail, as you then run of risk of excluding potential customers. Keep it to the key demographic details, along with needs, interests and online behaviour of this group.
Now it's time to apply what you've learned
Tailor your content to the personas you've discovered through your research, and use social targeting to make sure it's reaching the right people, and you should find that engagement increases.

Christina Aguilera Talks Childhood Crushes and Being a Diva on James Corden's Carpool Karaoke
Christina Aguilera is jumping back into music with the upcoming release of her new album, "Liberation." To celebrate, she made an appearance on James Corden's ever-popular segment, Carpool Karaoke.
The two started off with a classic, empowering song, "Fighter." Within a few lines, James interrupted Christina and asked her to teach him how to get the growl she has in her voice. While she did try, she said it's not really something you can be taught; it just comes from the angst and the feeling behind the song (singing along to that song really does channel your inner fighter).
Eco-Friendly Driving: Save the planet behind the wheel of the 2018 Hyundai Ioniq Hybrid
From there they dove into Christina's start on the Mickey Mouse Club as James prodded for information about her childhood crushes. Ryan Gosling or Justin Timberlake, that was the question — and while Christina confirmed that she and Britney Spears had eyes for Justin, it turns out that Ryan Gosling had a crush on Britney.
Melissa McCarthy made an unexpected appearance during the episode, popping up from the floor of the back seat, jamming out to Christina and Redman's "Dirrty." Once Melissa joined the party, James pointed out that they might need a little bit of coaching in order to reach Christina's Diva status. "We think we could be divas," said James. "But we need someone to teach us the true technique."
Family Road Trip: Check out Hyundai's lineup of family-friendly SUVs and crossovers
They pulled three bedazzled microphones out of the glove compartment and went through Christina's vocal warm ups and some runs before testing out Christina's upper range (spoiler alert: it's pretty high, in case you hadn't guessed). The trio finished with a throwback to OG Christina with "Genie in a Bottle" before dropping Melissa off.
James and Christina ended the episode on a sweet note by singing Christina's hit song (well, one of them), "Beautiful," hand in hand.

The Federal Reserve (Fed) wrapped up its most recent monetary policy meeting yesterday by announcing a rate increase – an outcome the markets largely expected. In our view, the Fed's updated rate projections and an important change in its policy statement were the more interesting takeaways.
Policy rate projections are provided through a "dot plot," a compilation of the Fed Board of Governors members' and Fed bank presidents' projected level of rates, with each estimate represented by an unlabeled dot. As shown in the LPL Chart of the Day, the Fed's new dots show projections of one more rate hike this year and three rate hikes in 2019.
While Fed Chair Jerome Powell reiterated several times in Wednesday's press conference that the Fed will move forward with gradual rate hikes, the dot plot implies that policymakers expect the pace of hikes to slow. The dots also show that members expect the fed funds rate to peak at 3.38% at the end of 2020 before declining into a "longer-term" rate of 3%.
"The Fed's updated rate projections support a gradual path of interest rate increases," said LPL Chief Investment Strategist John Lynch. "We believe this approach is appropriate and limits the possibility of a policy mistake."
The Fed also removed the word "accommodative" from its description of its monetary policy in Wednesday's statement, another signal that rates may be approaching a neutral level. However, Powell noted in the press conference the change doesn't signal a shift in the path of monetary policy. Instead, he said, it reflects that policy is moving in line with the Fed's expectations.
This change in language reflects the Fed's positive outlook for economic growth, but Powell's comments qualify the meaning of this change by acknowledging that it reflects the appropriateness of current policy. The Fed continues to evaluate the upsides and downsides of the macroeconomic environment, and right now, it doesn't see any reason to change its policy approach.

Sink or Swim….it's probably what lots of people are thinking about right now. Vancouver has been in some kind of collective daze since the Olympics ended, and hockey playoffs aren't helping Vancouverites get themselves into a restaurant seat. So, maybe a few restaurants got themselves signed up for Dine Out Vancouver. I did Dine Out two years in a row, and like many others, I left the experience feeling like it wasn't totally worthwhile.
The idea of Dine out is to (in essence), magically put customers in your restaurant because of your amazing prix fixe menu, ranging from 20-40 dollars. The problem is, the type of people who go out during Dine Out don't increase your business because they don't drink. Restaurants typically lose money on the food since they are offering it at a discounted rate, especially higher end restaurants such as West/Lumiere, etc. I'm not gonna sit here and pretend I know lots about business, but speaking as a cook Dine Out resulted in a ton of extra work for me. And since lots of customers chose just to eat off the regular menu, it didn't really make anything easier. If they even came to eat.
That being said, I'm not doing Dine Out this year. Thank god.
I've entered negotiations to extend my vacation even longer. One of my friends is taking a road trip across Canada, and offered a seat in his car. I need to go to the east coast anyway, so I figure this will be a convenient and fun way of travelling there. Food and lodging concerns aside, I don't have a timetable for my trip, so I don't mind taking a few extra weeks. I have a feeling that some areas of the USA will be a bit nicer in September than August 🙂
I've barely saved any money so far. I got some US dollars. But at these early stages, most people would say "Sink Or Swim buddy!" I say Swim, and forget that sinking even exists.
