We all admire great and fine things in life like beautiful mansions, cars and much more. We want to live an outlandish life in a beautiful house with everything. A lady known as Sharon proves us wrong. Sharon is a retired pharmacist who decided to take her life in a whole new direction. She chose to live the nomad life. Sharon lives in a 2015 model teardrop trailer. She hauls it with a Jeep Wrangler since it weighs less thus easy to pull.
It may seem that she isn't living a lavish life but she really lives much better than people who live in those mansions. She's had larger trailers but she wouldn't give up on this tiny teardrop trailer as she adores it pretty much. Sharon has no regrets living in her trailer as she has everything at hand and every time.
This wondrous trailer can be powered by plugging into electricity or three solar panels when she's off the grid. It contains a kitchen, a sink with a cutting board cover and a two burner stove. Basically, this is a small mansion. Forget to stay indoors always, this little rig forces you to spend a lot of time outdoors. You get to be one with nature as you may get little nuts at times while you spend some time inside. Sharon spends her time outside enjoying other people. She loves cooking outside too.
We can all agree by saying this life is rather awesome and full of fun activities like cooking outside, enjoying staying outside for some time, feeling the vibe all day every day. Sharon's life is beautiful, a lot of people might even envy her and want to be like her. The trailer must seem small but it's kind of spacious. It has a total of 12 feet of trailer space and is 5 feet and 9 inches at its tallest point. Sharon fits perfectly in every part of the trailer.
It is heated by a furnace that came with the trailer but she also uses a propane if she wants to heat up things hurriedly like in two to three minutes. It would be best defined as MAGNIFICENT. Everyone loves it when that hot water hits you good and so this trailer has the tiniest bathroom ever of which it has a toilet too. Sharon doesn't care but she has fun having that hot water hit her in her tiny bathroom. Sharon took some time before she got used to this but finally, she is having some good time.
Do you love entertainment? Damn! Sharon's trailer has the best of the elite. It has a space for a CD/DVD player and has a flat screen TV. The systems are off the hook. The flat screen TV and the DVD player are impressive. You will never get bored while having all this. Sharon can testify this. The trailer, too, has a seating area around the edge of the trailer. The sofa is stunning as it folds over into a bed but Sharon prefers having it as a bed. Relaxing is a must to have for Sharon. She got herself a beautiful little wooden table to eat on or placing her laptop while she is interested in using it.
If it's too hot, Sharon turns the air conditioner on which can be used with she's plugged into electricity. A house that has its own air conditioner is a house that is worth it. The trailer has a lot of windows that open all the way and has screens that bring in tons of light. The trailer is fresh and has enough light. To spice things up, there is an overhead fan.
One of the benefits of living in a trailer is having that freedom to travel and to live modestly just like how Sharon's life is. The best part of this is that she meets and makes new friends. The nomadic life is good. If we would live like Sharon, we would see better days in our lives.

What do alendronate tablets do?ALENDRONATE (Fosamax(R)) reduces the amount of calcium lost from bones and increases the density of bones. It helps to prevent bone loss and fractures (broken bones) and to increase normal healthy bone production in patients with Paget's disease or postmenopausal osteoporosis.

BEAUTY BOX - August Topbox
I can't believe it's already August! I don't know about you guys, but my summer just flew by - especially since all I've done so far is work... And catch Pokemon... But that's besides the point! Another month by means another Topbox - woohoo!
In this month's Topbox, I received:
Smashbox Photo Finish Pore Minimizing Foundation Primer (7 ml $11.66)
I actually have a wedding to go to this weekend, so YASSSS to this product!
NYX Butter Gloss in Raspberry Tart (8 ml $7.99)
I'm kind of sad that I didn't get more of a neutral colour as I find purple lip glosses tend to be splotchy so I'll have to use it over a purple lipstick.
Novex Argan Oil Deep Conditioning Mask (100g $6.57)
I haven't heard of this brand or this product before, so I'm interested in trying this out. With that being said, my hair isn't really dry so I'm not sure if I'll see a difference.
Elizabeth Arden Skin Illuminating Retexturizing Pads (3x1.2 ml $4.41)
These will also come in handy for the wedding since I will be staying at a hotel and can bring these along - I just love these samples for travelling!
Bonus Free Brow Waxing & Design from Caryl Baker Visage
Total Value: $30.63
I definitely like this box more than Julys because it comes with products that I would use - it didn't exactly wow me though, but maybe next month!
Let's be friends!

Cannabis and Christ
View From The Street
By Don DuPay
About two years ago I told my minister that I was a medical patient and smoked marijuana. I could see the disappointment in his eyes. "I'll pray for you" he said. He was praying for who he perceived to be a sinner. Marijuana must be evil, the devil's weed, because that is what he had been told all of his life.
They don't teach about cannabis and Christ in minister school and that is a shame. My research, done with the help of my friends identifies that JESUS USED MARIJUANA, OR HE WAS NOT THE CHRIST! How does that make you feel.
Christ is a Greek word. Messiah is a Hebrew word. The title of Messiah is older than Christianity. CHRIST MEANS THE ANOINTED ONE, and the recipe for his holy oil is recorded in Exodus Chapter 30 Beginning a t verse 22. The receipt includes 9 pounds of flowering cannabis tops, about 6.5 liters of olive oil along with cinnamon and myrrh. So Jesus was "CHRIST" when he became anointed with this oil. Can you imagine 9 pounds of flowers rendered into several quarts of olive oil? It would very strong and very psycho-active. And the Jesus went on his ministry and used holy oil liberally in both healing and initiation rite. Christians then became the "ANOINTED ONES," ones which had been smeared with cannabis oil.
Are your Christian hackles raised by what I have said? Does it seem like blasphemy? It's not!! It is true. If you know the truth, the truth will set you free. John 8:32.
centuries before the Christian age the "Magi" were known to use cannabis. They called it "bhanga." They also used "soma," which has been identified as the amanita muscaria mushroom. So all the ancients used mind altering substances found in nature, and given to us to use in Genesis. These were called "plant angels."
Leviticus Ch 8 Verse 2-10, Moses anointed Aaron and then the tabernacle and everyone in it with holy anointing oil, before the time of Jesus!
Cannabis is ancient medicine. Jesus gave his disciples a "pouch full of medicine" and an "unguent box" (healing salve) and tole them to go heal the sick. He tells them you must heal the body before you can heal the heart. The bible says they cast out many devils and anointed the sick and healed them.
Archaeologists found organic remains of hashish in the skeleton of a teenage girl that died 1600 years ago. Fast forward to the modern age. US Dispensary 1854. Cannabis specifically recommended for gout, tetanus, cholera, convulsion and depression. Research in 1990 at the University of South Florida showed that the herpes virus in direct contact with THC killed the virus.
It is ironic that modern day Christians persecute the marijuana culture unaware that the term "Christ" makes reference to a psycho-active topical ointment that was rich in cannabis.
To the morons in Washington D>C> that say marijuana has no medical value I say HOGWASH.
Everyone that sat at the table at the last supper used cannabis to heal. It is holy. It is our heritage. So deal with it!!

Antiparos History
Man's first contact with the island of Antiparos island seems to date back to the Neolithic Age. Finds from somewhat later, in the Cycladic period, have been dated with certainty as coming from 2700 B.C. Excavations on the little island of Saliangos, opposite of the castle, brought a whole Neolithic settlement of about 4000 B.C. to light. The excavations, which began in 1964, also found pots painted with various colours, agricultural implements, arrow heads and the most ancient Cycladic idol found so far, made of bone and only 35 cm high. During antiquity, Antiparos island was known as Oliaros, and with this name is mentioned by the 3rd century BC Greek geographer Heracleides the Critic or Cretan in his work "Of Islands".
Antiparos island is first mentioned by its present name in the 13th century AD, although the name is ancient: according to mythology, Antiparos island was one of the 50 sons of Aegyptos, and was murdered along with 48 of his brothers by his wife Critomethea, one of the 50 Danaides.
During Byzantine times and down to the early 13th century, information about the history of Antiparos island is scarce. One thing we know is that during all this time and until the Greek War of Independence in 1821, the island suffered a lot from pirates coming from Algeria, Crete, the region of Mani in the Peloponnese, the Ionian island of Cephalonia and other places. Their frequent raids are testified both by the fluctuation in the number of its inhabitants, who went so far as to abandon the island completely at times, and by the remains of defensive works erected in various periods by the lords of Antiparos island for the protection of the population
In 1207 Antiparos island is seized by Venetian nobleman Marco I Sanudo. With the blessings of Venice, Marco Sanudo seized the Cyclades, the Sporades and other Aegean islands, and founded the Duchy of the Aegean Sea with its seat in Naxos. Antiparos island remained under the House of Sanudo down to the second half of the 14th century, when it passed to the House of Sommaripa through the marriage of Maria Sanudo, lady of Andros, Naxos and Antiparos island, to Gaspari Sommaripa.
In the beginning of the 15th century Antiparos island was densely populated, since it is known that it had the obligation to provide the galleys of the duke of Naxos with 30 oarsmen each year. Later, though, due to pirate raids, it was almost completely abandoned. In 1480 the island passed onto Domenico Pisani and, along with Ios and Anafi, formed part of the possessions of the Venetian family of the Pisani. In 1537 Antiparos island and the rest of the Cyclades fell into the hands of the Ottomans and the pirate Barbarossa. Antiparos island remained under the Ottoman occupation until 1770, when the Russian fleet sailed into the island. In the years 1770-1774 Paros and Antiparos island are ruled by the Russians, passing again to the Turks until the War of Independence in 1821.
During the Turkish occupation Antiparos island suffered greatly, both by the conquerors' and the pirates' raids. The most destructive raid made to Antiparos island, was that of 1794, when Cephalonian and Maniot pirates laid the island waste and killed or captured most of its inhabitants, including the French vice-consul's daughter. Another source of suffering for the islanders during that period was the unbearable taxation that their rulers imposed on them. In 1756, unable to pay their taxes, Antiparians had to sell the islet of Diplo to Petros Mavrogenis of Paros and to Georgis Baos of Mykonos.
In spite of all this, in that dark period of its history, Antiparos island had a grammar school where children learned to read and write. This is a school where some great men of that time got their first education, most prominent among them being Neophytos Mavrommatis, bishop of Nafpaktos (Lepanto), and Ananias, the deacon who taught at the Patriarchal Academy in the mid-18th century and is considered one of the greatest Teachers of the Nation.
The Antiparians were among the first in the Cyclades to take part in the War of Independence. In 1823 there was a plan, which was soon abandoned, to cede Antiparos island, along with Paros, Naxos and Sifnos, to the knights of the Order of St John. The Protocols of London officially incorporated the island in the Greek State. During World War II, Antiparos island took active part in the Resistance movement against the Germans and it was used as a secret base of the Allies.

British Pastor Facing Jail For Criticizing Muslim Terrorists
By Jack Minor
While Muslim terrorists with ISIS have begun an aggressive new campaign against the West including the bombing of a Russian airliner and murdering at least 129 people in Paris, a 78 year old British pastor may end up going to prison for criticizing the violent elements of Islam.
Pastor James McConnell was preaching a sermon in a church at the Whitewell Metropolitan Tabernacle in May, 2014, when he called Islam a "satanic" religion for wanting to punish Meriam Ibrahim, a pregnant woman who committed the crime of refusing to renounce her Christian faith and marrying a Christian man.
During his message McConnell said that it is impossible that the God of the Hebrew and Christian Bible is the Allah of the Koran. He said:
"The Muslim religion was created many hundreds of years after Christ. Mohammed, was born in 570. But Muslims believe that Islam is the true religion, dating back to Adam, and that the biblical Patriarchs were all Muslims, including Noah and Abraham and Moses, and even our Lord Jesus Christ.
"To judge by some of what I have heard in the past few months, you would think that Islam was little more than a variation of Christianity and Judaism. Not so. Islam's ideas about God, about humanity, about salvation are vastly different from the teachings of the Holy Scriptures. Islam is heathen. Islam is satanic. Islam is a doctrine spawned in Hell."
It was those words that streamed live on the Internet — violated the 2003 Communications Act by "sending, or causing to be sent, by means of a public electronic communications network, a message or other matter that was grossly offensive."
While the words spoken by McConnell may sound harsh in today's culture of "microagressions," it is nothing more than traditional bible teaching by great men of God over the years including George Whitefield, John and Charles Wesley, Charles Spurgeon, DL Moody, and many others. Indeed, one of the foundations of Christianity is that Jesus is the only way of salvation and all other ways lead to hell.
Yet it now appears that preaching traditional Christianity is now illegal in the UK. Following his sermon, McConnell was told that he was facing hate crime charges and has a court date scheduled for Dec. 14-16 in a Belfast court.
McConnell is refusing to back down for his statements defending Christianity and criticizing Islam, saying at the time he made his comments he was specifically referencing Ibrahim.
"It began with the Muslim issue when I protested (through my sermon) concerning the young Muslim woman who was pregnant and had been converted to Christianity," the pastor wrote. "She was to receive 80 lashes and possibly martyrdom. Thankfully she and her husband are now living in the United States. I have no regrets about what I said. I do not hate Muslims, but I denounce Islam as a doctrine and I make no apologies for that".
McConnell said, his situation should be alarming for everyone, including those who disagree with him because of the implications for the right to engage in free speech and to freely practice religion.
"I also appeal and challenge every Muslim who lives in this country. No-one is questioning your right to worship here and practice your religion," McConnell wrote. "If I was living in many Muslim countries in the world, I would be forbidden to practice my religion and would probably be imprisoned or even put to death for doing so. Yet you, as a Muslim, have perfect liberty here. So I appeal to you, come with me and protest."
McConnell summed it up this way: "Islam is allowed to come to this country, Islam is allowed to worship in this country, Islam is allowed to preach in this country and they preach hate. And for years we are not allowed to give a tract out, we are not allowed in Islam, we are not allowed to preach the gospel. We are persecuted in Islam if we stand for Jesus Christ."
Interestingly, McConnell has received support from Suzanne Breen, a prominent Irish journalist and editor.
"As an atheist, I carry no candle for Christian fundamentalists, but there is something seriously wrong in hauling a pensioner pastor in ill health through the courts for simply expressing his opinion," Breen wrote.
While it is easy to dismiss the issue as something that is happening "over there," Christians in America need to realize that it is just a matter of time before the same thing happens here.
Following the terrorist attacks in Benghazi, President Obama responded to the attacks by saying "the future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam."
There is also a move by the United Nations to make criticism of Islam a crime against humanity. For years the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) has been pushing for a UN resolution that would make defamation of religion a criminal offense.
While the resolution does not mention any single religion, it is noteworthy that the resolution has been aggressively pushed by Muslim countries. The Obama administration strongly supports the resolution.
In 2011, the State Department and then Secretary of State Hillary Clinton sponsored a closed door conference in Washington on implementing the resolution. The stated purpose of the conference was to establish international standards for criminalizing "intolerance, negative stereotyping and stigmatization of … religion and belief."
In 2012, a Pennsylvania judge dismissed assault charges against a Muslim man who attacked an atheist for insulting his faith.
American Atheists Pennsylvania State Director, Ernest Perce was attacked by a Muslim while dressed as a zombie Muhammad in a Halloween parade. During the same parade another atheist was dressed as a zombie Pope, but there were no reports of a Roman Catholic attacking anyone.
In dismissing the charges, Judge Mark Martin berated the victim, saying essentially he deserved it and should be grateful he did not live in an Islamic country where he could face the death penalty for daring to insult Islam.
The judge, who is an admitted Muslim said, "There's a big difference between how Americans practice Christianity – I understand you're an atheist – but see Islam is not just a religion. It's their culture, their culture, their very essence, their very being."
He continued, "Whenever it is very common, their language, when they're speaking to each other, it's very common for them to say, uh, Allah willing, this will happen. It's, they're so immersed in it. And what you've done is, you've completely trashed their essence, their being. They find it very, very, very offensive. I'm a Muslim. I find it offensive."
Write to your MP's, both individually and as a church congregation throughout the UK. Let them know this matters to you, and your vote will not be in support of them if they fail to use their influence in support of this Pastor. Evil has been triumphing in the UK because good men and women have done nothing to stop it.
Islamists have taken power above all proportion to their numbers because good men and women have tolerated their demands thinking it isn't going to affect them. Lets all live and let live you say. Well did you forget so quickly what they did to London in the 7/7 bombings? Did it have to take the Paris massacre to remind you? Do you think they want to "live and let live"?
The last time the UK and Europe faced an evil like this was 1930's Germany and the rise of the Nazis. The good men and women tried to "live and let live" back then until it was too late.

U.S. Passport Day
Passport Day in the United States is April 9th and in recognition of that day we thought we'd take the time to answer a few questions we get regularly about what travel documents are needed to travel to Alaska. Alaska became the 49th state of the United States on January 3rd, 1959 however Alaska is separated from the rest of the contiguous United States by Canada. Check out our map if you want to see how Alaska borders Canada, not the Northwest United States! This international border creates a unique passport situation. All foreign travelers need a passport from their country to enter the United States. As a U.S. citizen, whether you need a passport for your Alaska vacation depends on how you are getting to and from Alaska.
The passport situation was complicated further when regulations for travel between the United States and Canada changed in 2007 and then again in 2008. Since January 1, 2008 U.S. travelers traveling between Alaska and Canada via air, land or sea will be required to have in their possession a current U.S. passport.
If you are flying to Alaska from another city within the United States you do not need a passport. If you are arriving in Alaska or departing Alaska via an Alaskan cruise you will need a passport as most Alaskan bound cruises start or end in Vancouver, BC.
Traveling to Alaska by car would also require a passport because you have to travel through Canada. Even driving to Haines, Alaska from Anchorage, Alaska requires a border crossing so a passport would be required. If you are planning on taking the ferry from Bellingham, Washington to Haines, Alaska you will need a passport if you plan on driving further into Alaska. Passports are required for both adults and children. Keep in mind that it takes some time to go through the process of getting a passport so don't procrastinate. If in doubt, it is best to have your passport in your possession as a piece of identification.
Up-to-date information regarding passport requirements is available at www.travel.state.gov. Click here for information on how to get a passport.

Undergraduate students in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences at Iowa State University have a unique opportunity to develop their business ideas through the Agricultural Entrepreneurship Initiatives' Student Incubator.
The new program gives aspiring entrepreneurs the resources to make their visions a reality. It will help students develop a solid business plan for revenue-generating or investment-ready firms by accelerating the process of idea creation, business development and planning. The program provides coaching, mentoring, educational programming, access to subject matter experts and investors and other resources necessary for early-stage venture development.
Program assists students interested in business development
"The idea of the Student Incubator is to assist our student entrepreneurs in the earliest stages of business development," says Kevin Kimle, director of the Agricultural Entrepreneurship Initiative. "This is an opportunity to leverage the unique environment of Iowa State University such that students can create and communicate more complete business plans, launch their ventures sooner and realize a higher degree of success over the long term."
Two students have been selected for the 2011 Student Incubator program: Abby Gooder, a junior in agricultural business and horticulture from Cresco, and Michael Koenig, a senior in agricultural education from Pleasantville. Both students plan to complete their business plans during the spring semester.
"I first developed the concept for my business in Economics 334 Entrepreneurship in Agriculture last semester." says Koenig. "I am really excited to continue to develop the business with all the support I have received."
The initiative is accepting new students in the program. Those interested should contact Kimle at 515-294-1803 or email@example.com.

Long before I read Mac Barnett's book Billy Twitters and His Blue Whale Problem to my kids, I've loved whales. So when I read this article entitled "New Fossil Fills In Missing Moment in Baleen Whale History: A new toothed whale highlights an important time in the evolution of today's ocean giants" by Brian Switek over at Scientific American, I knew I had to post it. Writing this post also reminded me of the time I saw a whale off the coast of Cape Cod years ago.

Last Sunday saw the Day for Freedom in London. The event saw thousands descend upon Downing Street and Whitehall in the name of free speech. Speakers included Breitbart London Editor Raheem Kassam, Rebel Media's Tommy Robinson, UKIP Leader Gerard Batten and Count Dankula.
Why didn't you hear about this, I hear you ask? Well, because the mainstream media didn't cover it, and if they did, they dubbed it as a protest led by 'right-wing figures' like The Guardian did.
Whilst I was sadly unable to be present, many people I know were, including the chaps at the top of Young Independence, the radical youth wing of the UK Independence Party. Its chairman, Nathan Ryding, told NMC: "We witnessed thousands of people march in support of free speech. This marks the beginning of a new movement, we are the silent majority and we are now actually standing-up for ourselves and our rights as we are sick and tired of bowing down to ridiculous political correctness and cultural Marxism, and as Young Independence Chairman, I will be opposing such things as well fighting for freedom of speech."
Such events will always be ignored by the mainstream media because they are well aware that their narrative is going against such actions. And those who do acknowledge it will look down on it as merely the right-wing "reclaiming" free speech as their own and how the left-wing must take a stance, which translates as: "right-wing people are exercising their right to free speech and we hate that, so we're going to take a moral high-ground and mask the fact we're actually shutting-down free speech because we disagree with what they're saying". Unfortunately, today's modern snowflakery has seen a generation of people shut down free speech either because they are "offended" or worry others might be. In a civilised society, people can be allowed opinions and people can be allowed the right to challenge them. The more people are denied free speech, the resentment will rise and so will the people. Such denial of such a basic right in what is supposed to be a fair, free and tolerant country like the UK will eventually lead to unrest and if the media don't grasp this soon, they will be powerless to prevent such alternative outlets such as this gaining more and more momentum.
As stated in a previous Soapbox column, protests will be made when President Trump visits Britain in two months' time, and believe you me, the media will make it headline news. And the counter protests celebrating his visit will be deemed 'far-right extremists'. I'll bet the ownership of my genitals on it. Come back to this the day Trump arrives, and you'll know how right I'll be. I'll wait for you here.
Not for many, certainly not the Jew
So, Labour did terribly at the local elections last week and Jeremy Corbyn attempt to make it seem victorious. Whilst there is nothing that comes to mind that I like policy-wise about the shadow cabinet, Labour were polling well and since the General Election, they've been wanting the Prime Minister to call another purely because they believed there was a big chance of winning it, considering how well they did against all predictions last time. But has the edge on Labour's election hope been smoothed-out?
Adam Langleben, a Jewish former Labour councillor who lost his seat last week in Barnet, said that Labour's recent anti-Semitism problems caused the losses, and the concerns of voters during his campaign led him to raise the concerns with the party's HQ, but was ignored. Now, say whatever you want about the Blair and Brown era of Labour – and believe you me I've got plenty of negativity towards it – but you could never really accuse them of anti-Semitism. There seems to be an existential problem with Jewish people amongst the really hard left of the Labour Party, and Corbyn seems unperturbed by this and seems willing to let this happen. Back in 2015 when Corbyn was elected the Labour leader, his opening speech said he wanted a "kinder, gentler politics" and "personal attacks" should end. Almost three years later and he won't even condemn attacks on Jewish people within Facebook groups that support him. The man is either playing dumb or he is crueller an individual than we all thought.
Corbyn seems totally unable to be removed no matter what mire he drags his party through. He's already survived a no confidence vote and accusations of befriending terrorists in Hamas and the IRA but he is still the leader of the political party that has the most members in the country than any other. His unique uber-socialist brand of student politics has endeared him to many youngsters in Britain, and the pressure group Momentum, which seems to be run by sixth-form school children, that endorses everything he does down to his farts, form a barrier around him that everyone else in Labour that disagree with his approach cannot break down, and sometimes even cause them to leave the party or any position they may hold. What the bullies in Momentum are unaware of, is that their behaviour will eventually lead to electoral oblivion and alienate the electorate that Labour used to target. The floating voters that went to Labour last time won't vote again given the anti-Semitism storm that has gripped them, but if any Tory advisor or think tanker is watching, calling an election may not be a good plan yet. Corbyn's ridden through storms before and nothing can be ruled-out and nobody predicted last year's election result, so sit tight and see how it plays out. If contrition to Jewish members of Labour won't be expressed, then Corbyn's Labour will be over and momentum will quite literally be gone.

30 April 2015 | Written by Xenia Ayiotis
Filed Under: Change
"We cannot change anything unless we accept it. Condemnation does not liberate, it oppresses" ~ Carl Jung
In last week's blog I spoke about the Diabolical Trio – our inner critic*, inner perfectionist* and inner pusher*. If you missed out on that blog – you can read it here.
In this blog, let's look at how to tame these inner voices. No – it's not with a whip!
First of all, acknowledge that our inner perfectionist, inner critic and inner pusher aren't all that bad – they just want the best from us. They are actually trying to help us. Without our inner perfectionist we may never be inspired to change, without our inner pusher we would probably never move our bodies and without our inner critic we wouldn't notice where we could improve. Let's honour them – they are trying to serve us. The voices of the Diabolical Trio give us some useful feedback and information. The problem comes in when their voices become too loud and bossy. That's when their intention to help hinders us instead.
The second step is to recognise their voices in your head. What do they sound like? What tone are they using? They love words like "should've, could've and would've". When you recognise their voices, don't try to resist them because they'll only come back louder! Don't ignore them because they will persist until they are heard! Instead, accept the voices and acknowledge what they say. Thank them for trying to help. The inner critic and pusher will be there when you eat, when you exercise and when you dress but don't let them take centre stage. Let them hang around in the wings or even better – send them backstage!
The third step is to thank, detach and dismiss the voices. It looks like this:
Diabolical Trio:
"Hmm you shouldn't have eaten that no wonder you are so fat"
"Look at how big your bum is, you are so hopeless you will always be big!"
"That workout was pathetic, you are so lazy!"
"You are such a bad mother, you spend so much time working and not with your child"
"Listen here, I know you are trying to help me, but you're behaving like a bitch, so shut up please…"
Diabolical trio move backstage.
The fourth step to tame the trio is to develop a new character that has been hiding backstage. This part of us must come out on centre stage – our inner nurturer. This is the part of us that is kind, caring and patient. Every time we make small improvements, the inner nurturer appreciates and acknowledges our efforts. Our inner nurturer is very in tune with the voice of our heart and our body and what it needs. The inner nurturer balances acceptance with self-improvement. So we accept our limitations whilst doing the work to improve them.
Our inner voices have great power. The voices of the trio can help us see areas in our life that need improvement, but if they are too harsh they will cause suffering and inhibit change. Focusing on the voice of the inner-nurturer will be more productive and create lasting change. So, send the trio to the wings or backstage and give your inner-nurturer the leading role in your life!
Have a great long weekend!
Love, Xen.

Word 'hate' gets
Word 'hate' gets
used far too casually
"Hate" is used so casually today by many in conversations about people, places, things.
But has humankind really thought about what it really means and how such a harsh word is used so casually?
Lately it's been a Jets football player who says he hates Patriots' captain Tom Brady for supposed taunting and showing pleasure when his team does well.
Or when a player leaves a team for another offer, reactions are off the meter. They hope something goes bad with the player, or they cry and sob, saying, "My life is over. We'll never be the same."
Life does go on, believe it or not!
Is that what "fanatics" (fans) or players like, that they must encourage hate and fighting? Then frankly there is something missing in their lives, and it's urgent they try to achieve it.
If this world is to be upright itself before the end comes, examples of people pursuing peace in life, not pushing hate, will accomplish it.
Finally our government representatives are using recent tragic events and possibly future ones to take advantage and to demonize the other political party by purposely omitting what was said in speeches.
Our creator endowed us with free will. If we choose good, fine, but if we choose bad, so be it — punish yourself. Those who choose bad should leave the innocent alone.

Estate Tax and the Fiscal Cliff
The current estate tax rate is 35% with a $5 million exemption. That is all set to change in 2013, with the rate jumping to 55 percent and the exemption dropping to $1 million. While there is still hope that Congress will do something before the end of the year to avoid such dramatic changes, some fiscal cliff talks have turned to the estate tax as the solution, leaving many Americans wondering if their estates could be affected by the changes. If you have questions about your current estate plan, or need to set up an original estate plan, speak with a knowledgeable estate planning attorney about your options.

My name is Jackson Fite, and I have had the honor of serving as the Nu Chapter Number I this year. I would like to thank you for your continued support of our Order. We hope you had as much fun as the brothers did at Alumni Weekend.
As my term comes to an end in November, I would like to provide a brief update of our Order and announce the kickoff of our 2017-2018 Nu Chapter Annual Fund.
State of the Order:
To that, I say, "well-done brothers!"
With Elbert McQueen '74 and the Nu Chapter Housing Corporation members' concurrence, we are launching the 2017-2018 Nu Chapter Annual Fund. Our goal is to raise $30,000 with three big needs in mind:
We did not run an annual campaign last year, and I hope faithful alumni givers and new donors alike will be inspired to support the legacy of Nu Chapter of Kappa Alpha Order in a generous way.
In my opinion, Greek alumni involvement is important as ever given the current climate of the community. Recent events at Penn State and LSU have proved to be obstacles in the general public's perception on Greek life as a whole. I believe KA can and will change that if we are able to tell our story just a little bit better. We must focus on the values that make us KAs (reverence, gentility, knowledge, leadership, brotherhood, and excellence) and demonstrate good stewardship in our communities. If we do that, I believe we can preserve our chapter for many years to come.
Your support is essential to our success. Please consider becoming one of the Diamond Knights with a $1,000 gift to the 2017-2018 Nu Chapter Annual Fund.
If $1,000 is more than you would like to contribute this year, please consider a $500, $250 or $100 gift. Regardless of the amount you choose, we hope you invest in Nu Chapter's success. With your help, our venerable Mansion and its grounds will be enjoyed by brothers and alumni for many years to come.
To make your contribution today, simply click the "Support the Campaign" button on the right hand side of this page. You can break your donation into monthly, quarterly or semiannual payments. Over 12 months, your gift of $1,000 is merely $83.33 each month. You may also set up a recurring charge to your credit card or draft from your checking account – whatever suits you best.
Thank you, alumni, for everything you do. The future is bright at KA!

Which Car Parts to Utilize for Repair work in Miami, Oklahoma
There are numerous alternatives to choose from when it pertains to a car that does not work anymore: it can be junked, a brand-new vehicle can be acquired, the vehicle can be fixed, a rental cars and truck can be utilized for the time being, or a member of the family's can can likewise be utilized for the time being. There are a myriad of ideas that can be selected from if one has a stopping working automobile, however, the very best thing to do would just fix the car that does not work any longer. This might likewise be harder than it looks, though, because of the fact that discount auto parts are pricey nowadays, labor is pricey when getting repairs done at an auto repair shop, and there are lots of choices to make regarding what kind of repair work have to be made anyhow.
One concern that many people handle when repairing their cars and truck by themselves or having an automobile service center fix their automobile is exactly what type of junk yard they'll be utilizing. There are generally two types of vehicle parts that can be utilized to fix a car, and they both will be explained, along with the advantages and disadvantages of using each type of automobile part.
The first type of auto part that comes to mind when repairing one's vehicle is OEM vehicle parts. The term "OEM" represents "initial equipment producer," and this means that OEM vehicle parts come straight from the business that made the cars and truck in the first place. To puts it simply, if a person's Chevrolet Cavalier were to fail because of the alternator or starter then an OEM alternator or starter could be bought in order to repair the cars and truck. The advantage of purchasing original equipment manufacturer car parts is the fact that there will normally be a guarantee on the part that is purchased. In addition, one is generally ensured that the part will work and fit the automobile on the first shot.
A disadvantage to purchasing OEM vehicle parts is the fact that they are normally much more costly that other types of auto parts. Whereas other automobile parts might be around $50, the exact same auto parts that are bought from the OEM might be as much as $150. The rate makes all the distinction, too, when repairing your cars and truck, so it may not always behoove you to acquire OEM vehicle parts.
On the other hand, the other kind of junk yard that can be purchased when fixing a cars and truck is after-market auto parts, or car parts that are produced the exact same automobile by third-parties or from a Salvage Yard like Poeboys Auto Salvage. These vehicle parts are typically much easier to run into, and more automobile repair shops and retailers normally carry after-market automobile parts rather than OEM automobile parts. That is one of the huge advantages to purchasing those types of automobile parts, but another is that they are much less expensive than OEM auto parts. This was discussed in the last paragraph about OEM parts, however after-market automobile parts are typically 50% or more less than the original manufacturer's automobile parts.
All things considered, it is truly as much as the individual and the circumstance when the automobile is being repaired. Many people pick OEM car parts just because they are the best kind of parts to choose, but arguments for third-party automobile parts or Junk Yard auto parts from Poeboys Auto Salvage are since they are more affordable are more accessible. All in all, though, there are all sorts of choices and choices to make when looking for auto parts to repair your automobile!

Ubuntu is a quintessentially African concept. In Africa, the original cradle of humankind, humans first evolved our need for belonging and learned how to develop a sense of community (Nussbaum, Palsule, & Mkhize, 2010).
Ubuntu is the art and quality of being human together and the responsibility that flows from living in community. Umuntu ngumuntu Ngabantu is the Nguni term, from South Africa, meaning that people become people through people and more of who they are through dynamic relationships with other people. Ubuntu is not only about becoming more human in a social context, through basic compassion and respect for others. It also entails a lived spiritual commitment to the growth of all individuals within the group.
There is very little separation between you and me, I am because we are and since we are, therefore I am. Africans have understood this for centuries, and thought leaders in the post-modern west are finally reclaiming this human interconnectedness, re-correcting a learned tendency towards individualism and separateness and now re-discovering a new language for what has always been alive in Africa. Dr Daniel Siegel (2016), an American psychologist recently called this interconnection MWe.
This reflection comes from Barbara's new chapter, Finding Us in Music: A Method for Deeper Group Engagement in Handbook on Individual and Organizational Transformation, edited by Judi Neale (Springer, 2018).

Peter Falke Signature Exclusive Blend 2014
Groenvlei Farm, the home of Peter Falke Wines, is in the foothills of the famed Helderberg, known for producing fine wines. Groenvlei has the added advantage of breezes off False Bay which ameliorate the summer heat in the vineyards. This means that the grapes ripen slower and hang for longer picking up greater flavours and aromas and colour. The grapes for the Peter Falke Signature Exclusive Blend 2014 are grown on the Estate and the final blend is 88% Cabernet Sauvignon and 12 % Merlot, a classic Bordeaux style blend.
Peter Falke Wines Outside Lounge
Werner Schrenk, GM, Vineyardist and Winemaker keeps the vineyards in really good nick. At hand harvesting the teams pick bunches and discard any which may be sunburned or raisined. In the cellar the bunch are resorted so that only the best grapes go through to the final winemaking process. Once destalked and crushed, the wines are then fermented dry and the spend 18 months in a combination of first second and third fill French oak barrels after which the wine is prepared for bottling.
It looks like
Bottled under natural cork in a Bordeaux shaped bottle with the elegant silver label. In the glass it is a dark ruby garnet at the core which pales out to garnet at the edges.
It smells like
Blackcurrants and roadside brambles, oak and its concomitant spices.
It tastes like
Sappy, rich and full. A cloud of berries in the mid-palate, dry at the ending. The silken tannins, brightness, oak and fruit are all interwoven in the long and satisfying aftertaste.

incidental art mainly explores the spontaneity or connection between what one might perceive as art and the environment it is involved in. one of my first encounters with this movement was a series of art pieces by one of my mentors, Teh Leong Kwee. his exploration into the natural process of oxidation enlightened me with ideas of art through controlled and incidental interaction. so far my explorations are mainly on paper and still very much in its infancy.

stenciling is very much the same idea as the word suggests. I've been an avid collector of all things stenciled. this form of making marks will help me evolve my next step of screen printing. another technique which I am still studying.
plotting is in fact photocopying at a large scale, up to the size of double AO. it's an avenue for me to create large pieces effectively and economically. some samples here use a range of mixed media. another exploration into screen printing.

photograms are a great way to create subtle silhouettes from found objects. though I've not perfected the process yet, there are endless ways of how this can turn out.
time lapse photographic technique of taking a sequence of frames at set intervals to record changes that take place slowly over time. only recently had I started pursuing this area of photography. coupled with the telescope adapter, I would be able to test some motion together with time-lapse.
multiple exposures are a great artform technique, a sort of instant montage. mastering of light and shadow areas is important. I mainly explore this technique with film since this feature is not available on my canon DSLR. though I've found a way to produce it through photoshop.
disposables are experiments with instant film cameras. these include diffusion and vignetting, blurring the image, trying to make this picture-perfect camera imperfect.
box cameras are part of my antique camera collection. I've repaired and serviced all of them to working standards, modifying some to fit 120 or 135 formats since the films they use are mostly obselete now.
continuing my exploration into typography on grid paper. how the movement of each grid/pixel would affect the legibility and readibility of characters. very much in it's infancy althought i would love to explore more into making fonts. typography is one of my key interest in design.

Regarding the current economic crisis, he states "Maybe the people who are satisfied just can't admit to what's happening. Seriously, who could have predicted that giving out loans like Halloween candy to people with mini-salaries to buy mini-mansions—who then used their home equity to buy gas-guzzling Hummers—would ever backfire?"
The fact-checking article on MSNBC examined McCain's plan to alleviate the mortgage crisis:
"McCAIN: "Now, we have allocated $750 billion. Let's take 300 of that billion and go in and buy those home loan mortgages and negotiate with those people in their homes, 11 million homes or more, so that they can afford to pay the mortgage, stay in their home."
THE FACTS: Ordering the government to buy up bad mortgages to cut homeowners' monthly payments might sound good, but experts are skeptical. They say the plan McCain is promoting is unlikely to solve the housing crisis that's pushing the economy toward recession. One big problem: The vast majority of the toxic home loans that are clogging financial markets and freezing up credit have been repackaged into complex investments that the government would be hard-pressed to unravel and buy. And the government could end up paying far more than they would ever be worth. That could primarily help banks and lenders with taxpayer money.
— The Associated Press "
When J and I were getting ready to make the trek east, we wanted to buy a home, so began the application process for a loan. The amount for which we were pre-approved was much higher than the amount for which we knew we could comfortable make the monthly payments, so we didn't even look at that end of the spectrum of houses. Alas, we didn't find a house in our 'range' so are living in apartment-land, but we're okay with that if it means that we'll have a house to live in through the duration of our stay here.
I was also looking at the fact check from last night's debate, as I was so annoyed when I finished watching it that I immediately called my parents to ensure that my dear old dad wasn't losing his mind and supporting McCain...I was assured that he is not. I wonder how many messages from new clients old Joe the Plumber has this morning?
I am constantly reminded that our lives, like this country, are a work in progress. Much like a crazy quilt, or something knit from stash yarns, you have to constantly re-examine the materials that you have on-hand. How will the fibers work together? Do you need to increase the tension to make it all stronger or loosen up a little to have the desired effect? Do you need to invest in some new yarn to make it all work? The last material you used will help dictate the next.
In the end, after all your hard work and consideration, it would be really sad to end up with the ugly sweater that nobody wants to wear.

Speaking Too SoonLeave a comment
November 7, 2016 by phicks2012
A few BLOGS ago I was foolish enough to boast of a run of good luck regarding my renters. I spoke too soon, tempting fate, when I should have kept my mouth shut.
1) What is it about renters and plumbing? Why would faucets newly replaced by professional plumbers suddenly go bad, and look like they've been attacked with chainsaws? My plumber was baffled too, by the way.
2) Why do renters believe that they are entitled to improvements and upgrades, without their rent increasing as a result, or entitled to yard maintenance without paying for it when their leases state clearly that this is not the case?
2) Why do renters wait until Saturday nights to complain about things they want fixed retroactively a week before? Do they not understand that some companies are closed on Sundays — or if they aren't that they charge (me) a lot more to come out? Do they not comprehend that I'm allowed to have a life, too? No, I cannot and will NOT drive nearly 20 miles to let a plumber, electrician, or exterminator into their unit so that they will not have to be there themselves. No, I do not have a time machine that allows their repairs to have ready been done by the time they report them. No! No! No!
3) Why do renters insist that they have called my management folks to report their problems as they are supposed to do, when they have not, and are really blind-siding me with them, and why do they insist that no one has been out to deal with their issues when actually someone has been out 2-3 times — and I have the invoices to prove it?
I am now on a first name basis with a plumber (Thanks, Wes) and his office manager (Thanks, Jamie), I have recently replaced a refrigerator and a stove (both of which started out in good shape), and I have once again been forced to put my own home repairs on the back burner because I'm too busy driving all over the place, calling repair techs, responding to horribly timed text messages, and dealing with unreasonable expectations. ACKKK!!
No, it is NOT my fault that some neighborhood kids set fire to some pine needles in a small patch of trees on the property line. Nowhere in any lease does it say that I will rake or otherwise clear out wooded areas so that there will be nothing there to burn. No! No! No! I will not be responsible for safeguarding their units against a Zombie Apocalypse either, just in case you might wonder.
Folks, this is tourney and football season!! When the weekends come I'd like to be able to attend a few SCA events, or to watch my teams (Dawgs and Falcons) play — just once in a while — instead of being rushed to replace a toilet seat or a faucet knob, or told I "need" to clear pine straw out of a wooded area that serves to protect the yard lower down from erosion. Yeah, those are crisis jobs alright!
People bad-mouth landlords, but REALLY! When I was a renter there were things I fixed myself, BECAUSE THEY WERE EASY FIXES. I didn't call my landlord in a tizzy because an outlet cover cracked, or a toilet flap needed replacing, or the sink stopped up (because I put food scraps or grease down the drain and couldn't figure out how to use Drano). I also didn't tear up appliances.
So I'm officially sending out CLUES as Christmas gifts this year. What do you think?

Feeling at Home While Living Abroad
You've been dreaming your whole life of traveling the world, exploring other countries, and even living in a bustling foreign city or two for a time–and now it's finally here. You worked hard to earn a place at a university abroad, join an extended tour, or embark on your own with a few friends. That was only the beginning.
You're so caught up in downsizing your belongings and trying to guess how many warm sweaters is too many to pack that you've probably not thought about exactly what you're going to do to settle in once you get there. Have no fear! Check out these quick tips about decorating/furnishing your new apartment across borders to get prepared.
Types of Decor
I use the term "decor" very lightly here. In your new, hands-free adventure, you want to avoid items that can be big and bulky because your bags are already packed too tightly to squeeze much else back in there for the trip home, so try to stick to a few items.
Items will be easier to transport if they are one or more of the following:
- Small – If you're obsessed with knick-knacks, stick to smalls ones that can be wrapped up in socks or shoved into the irregular spaces left in your suitcase.
- Flat – The thinner the item, the easier it will be to slip between your belongings and the flat suitcase wall or with your laptop.
- Foldable – Items in fixed forms may be harder to find space for, but things that can be condensed and/or reshaped will be easier to fit into those empty crannies you have.
What Should You Invest In?
We don't usually think out exactly what we're going to put in our rooms, especially when you're in a more transient state. But as much as we like to slowly accumulate things until our space has made itself, there is one main drawback to this method when abroad: you end up with too much stuff.
To cut down on just how much there is, try to limit which types of items you invest in. We are really good at justifying keeping this or that, so rein yourself in when deciding how much you're allowed to bring to the new flat as well.
Great decorations to put in your room are those that have and will bring your comfort, things that serve as reminders of home or what your purpose is while living abroad, and especially a few things that signify the special new memories you are and will be making.
These objects will be even better if they serve more than one purpose; for instance, bringing a favorite bag that you use for school and grocery shopping over and over again.
How to Acquire Your Decor
When you move abroad, it's easy to tell yourself you'll just buy anything else you need once you get there, but you can definitely be smart when you go about decorating your new rentals by looking places other than the nearest Primark.
- Bring – A few things straight from home are worth packing both ways. Just don't do anything silly like bring a block of beloved books.
- Collect – Anything you buy new, think of as an addition to a very exclusive collection. Things purchased should be very special indeed!
- Inherit – Wherever you're going, there are people leaving that are trying to get rid of a host of things they realize now they shouldn't have bought (lucky you, you're learning that lesson ahead of time). You're in a great place to inherit things like pillows and duvets for free or at a very low cost.
Just as important as getting things on the shelves and tack in the walls is planning what you'll do with everything once it's time to leave. Whatever you're not taking with you, get ready to sell or pass on to old friends or newcomers that need what you're giving up. Keep all that in mind, and it'll be just as easy getting out as it was getting in.

Saatchi & Saatchi established the idea led design business in 2006 with the objective of helping the global network deliver design capability, and managing director Paul Wilson says over the last decade, it's helped enrich the network's capability and delivered a diverse portfolio of work for a wide variety of clients around the world.
StopPress understands the theory was to keep it separate in New Zealand so it could maintain its independence from the big agencies.
Over the years, it's received Best Design awards for its work with clients including Auckland Theatre Company, KPMG, Fisher & Paykel Healthcare, NZ Opera and Trelise Cooper. It's also designed the fabric of Air New Zealand's uniforms and worked on Kevin Roberts' 64 Shots book.
However, Wilson says over the past 12 months, it's helped the group focus on delivering design resources in key regional hubs and during this process, the decision was made to concentrate design resources in the regions, rather than through a global offering headquarter in New Zealand.
Since then, its director of design, Derek Lockwood, has started his own design consultancy and creative service, where he has been joined by four other former Saatchi & Saatchi Design Worldwide team members (Lockwood says the core team of four was sometimes consolidated with freelancers).
Lockwood says it was a very amicable and logical move by Saatchi and he, and his fellow team members, have maintained a strong relationship with the agency.
"They respected and looked after everybody really well, even the contractors were treated like employees, and it was done really well," he says.
Managing director Philip O'Neill is six weeks into his work as an independent consultant, and is enjoying it very much.
He says Saatchi was always very clear that Saatchi & Saatchi Design Worldwide's role was to deliver design expertise into the global network.
"In the last year that brief evolved to building design capability in the regional hub offices. I think we were pretty successful in doing this," O'Neill says.
"But that success did mean there was no role for a global design operation, so, with the help of the Saatchi team we've moved on to our own ventures. We're still working on projects together which is a fair indication of how well the process has been managed. I had a great experience being part of the Saatchi family, and hope to stay close for a long time to come."
Studio manager Natalie Ferguson has remained in the Saatchi family as she's been taken into the agency as a traffic studio manager, while StopPress understands design director Sam Trustrum is taking a break, before getting into something new next year.
Wilson wishes the team the best in their new ventures and says it will be business as usual for Saatchi & Saatchi New Zealand.
"The agency will continue to service local clients with our existing in-house design capabilities," he says.

There's a new report that suggests today's generation of kids might actually be more patient compared to those in the past. As a matter of fact, researchers credit the increased use of technology as one of the reasons why kids are more willing to be patient and wait for their desired results.
According to a new study published by the American Psychological Association, many children today are more capable of delaying gratification for several different reasons.
The study revealed that kids who participated in the studies in the 2000s waited an average of two minutes longer during a 10-minute period than kids that were raised in the 1960s and at least one minute longer than those who were raised in the 1980s.
In fact, Dr. Stephanie M. Carlson, who helped lead the search, recently told Science Daily in an interview, "Although we live in an instant gratification era where everything seems to be available immediately via smartphone or the internet, our study suggests that today's kids can delay gratification longer than children in the 1960s and 1980s."

Researchers have also used the "Marsmallow Test" in order to prove just how far kids have learned to delay their gratification in recent years. During the test, a child is given the option of eating a single snack immediately or waiting two minutes and getting to eat two of them at the same time. Unsurprisingly, many of today's children opted to wait and enjoy two snacks rather than one, compared to children who took the same test 50 years ago.
Dr. Carlson noted that the findings actually come as a stark contrast to the assumption that children have less self-control because of their so-called technology and screen addictions. While the latter might be true, there are a few reasons that might explain the findings. For one, children's IQ scores have increased over the years. In addition, many children are showing increased abstract thought, thanks to rising pre-school enrollment and the addition of cognitive thinking skills. This helps contribute to the improving abilities to delay gratification.
It shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone that kids these days are more technologically advanced, compared to past generations. At least 38 percent of children younger than the age of 2 have already had or operated a mobile phone in their hands. Some studies even indicate that children between the ages of 8 and 10 spend more than seven hours a day with technology, whether it's on a smart phone, tablet, computer or television screen.
