Cocked and Locked Sighting-In Target
Cocked and Locked Sighting-In targets are great for sighting-in your rifle or shooting sub-MOA groups. Don't pay $0.40/each or more for targets when you can buy Cocked and Locked Sighting-In targets for $0.19/each. Our high quality, high visibility targets are printed on heavy 75 lb. paper with medium green ink. Why use Cocked and Locked targets? Here's why:
- You can see .22 caliber holes on green at 100 yards at 9-power that you can't see on black, especially when the target backing material is also black material, like conveyor belt. Can you see .30 caliber holes at 200 yards on green with your 3×9 scope? Yes. On black? Are you kidding me?!?
- Your target will stand out from everyone else's at the range reducing the likelihood of someone else shooting your target.
- Our Sighting-In targets are five targets in one. Put up one target, shoot five groups. And because of the target's high visibility, see your groups through your scope without waiting for an "all clear" to go downrange and see how you did. How much does the same style of Birchwood Casey Shoot N-C Targets cost? More than $1.00/each.
- One-inch grids on the target make scope adjustments incredibly easy. Shoot a 3-shot group and immediately see the exact distance vertically and horizontally from your point of aim. Use the appropriate number of clicks according to your scope's calibration and your fourth shot will be dead on. Additionally, the one-inch marks allow you to easily measure how accurate your rifle is at 100 yards.
- The center diamond has point extensions that help you keep your crosshairs aligned on the center of the target.
Our Cocked and Locked Bullseye Target is great for pistols and rifles. The Bullseye measures 3/4″, and the outer circle is 9″.
Cocked and Locked Bullseye Target
When you purchase a firearm from Cocked and Locked, you will receive 10 free targets. Mix and match as you like.

[Video Goals] Leicester 1-1 Arsenal: Sanchez Goal Not Enough For Sluggish Gunners
An Alexis Sanchez goal wasn't enough as Arsenal were held to a 1-1 draw by Leicester City at the King Power Stadium on Sunday afternoon.
We started on the front foot and took the lead in the 20th minute when Sanchez fired home from about six yards out after Yaya Sanogo had cut the ball back.
However, instead of protecting our lead we allowed the hosts back in the game after some dreadful defending let Ulloa head home to make it 1-1 in the 22nd minute. Laurent Koscielny was at fault but he should never have been allowed back on the field after receiving lengthy treatment for a head injury.
We never really found our fluency in the game and failed to muster up too many clear cut chances and in the end a draw was a fair result.
Watch the goals here.

anCnoc Flaughter Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky
We're sorry, but this product is not currently available.
The Flaughter spade is used to remove the top layer of peat which is richer, more rooty and produces more reek. This gives a heavier, smokier flavour to the whisky, in this case, with a PPM of 14.8.
Technical Notes
Alc vol 46%
Other text
Under the watchful eye of the Distillery Manager and after a few anxious moments anCnoc Peaty emerged once more from the stills at Knockdhu. Once laid down in bourbon casks, it developed beautifully, creating the most remarkable malt. Dark peaty smokiness and light subtle flavours, as one. The spirit has found form in a new range of individual expressions named after traditional peat-cutting tools, some of which are still used to this day. For we have those simple implements to thank for the wonder that is the Limited Edition anCnoc Peaty Collection. All that remains is to try them and shine a light on your dark side.
Tasting Notes
Colour anCnoc Flaughter is pale gold Nose Initially smoky and ashy. Underneath that, fresh vanilla notes ooze softness and creaminess while a sharper hint of sticky toffee offers a balancing sweetness. Taste A warming and smooth experience; peaty and intense but remarkably rounded, it flickers with hints of fragrant pipe tobacco, orchard fruits, brown sugar sweetness and a slight medicinal overtone. An intensely flavoursome, smoky and smooth finish.

Business Plan Training
Download the Business Plan Template
Use this template to walk through all of the various components of a business plan. In this end, you may have to tweak how you send this to them (especially if they have their own template!), but you'll rest assured that you have all of the key components.
The Plan
If you fail to plan, you plan to fail! If you feel that writing a business plan is overwhelming or won't really help you, you are probably writing the wrong kind of business plan. Before you write, start it right!
Business Overview
What is the plan all about? Convince the reader to keep reading and to be interested in your idea. You need to catch their attention!
Market Research
Market research is one of the biggest weaknesses of business plan writing. It is either the wrong type of information, too much of one type, and usually completely forgets to test the sale. Avoid these pitfalls!
Your great idea is only a small part of whether your business will fly. It is all about the people – yourself included! You need to prove that you are the best person to be doing what you are pitching.
How will people find out about your business? You need to have a plan to make sure that the right people find out.
How are you going to actually do this? What does the business look like? How will it operate? Do you have all of the pieces of the puzzle in place?
Once you have all of the pieces in place, you need to start moving forward. You need to have specific goals that you are striving to reach.
Understanding your financials is a key part to making better business decisions. How much cash do you have on hand? What are your financial projections for the future? Knowing this will help you grow your business.

|Spenser and Ronda
The tearoom has brought Mom and I many wonderful friends… and last year June, the tearoom brought be a very special friend, Ronda Kelley. Ronda is originally from Ontario, Canada, but met and fell in love with an 'Iowa Boy' and now lives with her husband in Boone.
|Anne Shirley reciting "The Highway Man"
Ronda is a true Kindred Spirit and loves everything "Anne". Ronda, her husband, and a friend attended our Anne of Green Gables tea back in June. After the tea she confessed to me that "she'd always dreamed of having a dress with puff sleeves".
She loved the dress that Anne wore in "Highway Man" scene. Since I love sewing/design/costuming… I immediately knew which dress she was talking about!
Ronda thought it would be neat to wear it at their Wedding Anniversary Celebration up in Canada this year! This project sounded like too much fun for me to pass it up! So, we began discussing and planning the creation of this beautiful dress!
I studied the movie's dress and drew up sketches. We went to a few different fabric stores in Des Moines… at the first one, we found some fabric that would work. From the movie it looked like there was an 'overskirt' of sheer striped fabric. I had in my mind what I wanted but hadn't ever seen any fabric in person like that before. We tried one more fabric store, and there it was… laying over in the modern apparel… cream, sheer striped fabric! I couldn't belive it! I wanted to scream... It was perfect!!
Come back next week to view the progress I made on the skirt!

Every seller wants the most money for their home in the least amount of time (no doubt you've see plenty of ads that promise as much). As an educated seller, you should know that in almost every case, the asking price you choose has a dramatic effect on the speed of your sale and on the price your home commands.
Prices fall into four categories:
Clearly Overpriced
Commonly seen when a seller has a strong emotional attachment to their home, blatant overpricing may signal that an owner is unmotivated to sell, paid too much for their home, or needs a certain amount back out of the sale in order to finance their next purchase. While we can empathize with these feelings, overpricing is not the way to bring in more money. Property values are determined by the market, and savvy shoppers are well aware of what their money can by. If buyers don't feel that a home offers genuine value, most won't give it a second glance. Overpriced homes tend generate lowball offers or sit on the market for long periods, leaving people to speculate that there's something wrong with the property.
Somewhat Overpriced
About three-quarters of the homes on the market are overpriced by 5-10 percent. These listings tend to sit for longer than they should. The market will catch up with them eventually, but in the meantime, the price of the properties that these homeowners want to buy next is also increasing. It's another case of overpricing dragging out the process, with no real gain in the end.
Priced Correctly at Market Value
Let's say it together: real estate sales are based on supply and demand. Homes that are realistically priced, based on thorough market research, are the ones that consistently attract interested buyers. These competitively-priced properties usually sell within a reasonable time frame for close to asking price.
Priced Slightly Below Fair Market Value
If market conditions are right, pricing your home slightly below fair market value can achieve surprising results. At various points over the past year, buyers from the GTA have fuelled an increasingly competitive market here in the tri-cities. During these periods, slightly under-priced homes have been seen to generate multiple offers and sell quickly (often within in a few days), commonly for well above asking price. Is it the right time to try this strategy? Give us a call – finding out is worth a few minutes of your time. And as a seller, keep in mind that you're never obligated to accept an offer if you're unsatisfied with the terms.

20-inch wheels on the front axle, 21-inch on the rear axle. In words: big, wide wheels, large tyre contact area, great driving dynamics. In numbers: front 265/35 ZR 20 tyres on 9.5 J x 20 wheels, rear 325/30 ZR 21 tyres on 12.5 J x 21 wheels.
The new, light-alloy wheels of the 911 GT2 RS are painted in White Gold Metallic (high-gloss) and characterised by visible, recessed 'GT2 RS' logos on the rim. At this performance level, the central locking system goes without saying. The central wheel bolts are black and feature the distinctive 'RS' logo.
The standard Tyre Pressure Monitoring (TPM) not only warns in the event of a gradual or even sudden loss of pressure, but also has a sport mode that takes account of the lower pressure of cold tyres at the beginning of a race.

JACKSON — The USA International Ballet Competition's economic impact leaped into double-digit millions for the first time when it was last in Jackson, with the event's $10.2 million impact on the state, a recently released study shows.
Compiled by the University of Southern Mississippi's Department of Economic and Workforce Development, the numbers offer an "apples to apples" comparison with figures from previous IBCs, USA IBC executive director Sue Lobrano said.
The USA IBC is held every four years in Jackson. The last event was in 2010. The 2006 event's estimated economic impact was $7.5 million.
Results are based on program operations and participant/attendee expenditures during the July 2010 two-week event. The impact was calculated using ticket data, hotel reports and IBC records.
One hundred competitors from 31 countries competed, and ticket buyers came to Jackson from 40 states, Puerto Rico and 10 foreign countries.
A total of 27,040 ticket buyers attended the event. Actual attendance was even higher, factoring in the free ancillary events and the 250 USA IBC Dance School students, who joined the audience for most of the competitive rounds.
The economic impact figure "tells me that we're doing a good job and it tells me that people are still interested in coming to Jackson for this event from many, many states," Lobrano said.
"The thing that keeps us at the top of the heap for the dancers is the success we continue to have as one of the premier IBCs in the world, if not the premier IBC," Lobrano said. "Dancers are very interested in getting a job, even more so than winning a medal.
"When dancers come to Jackson, they know they're going to be seen by many people who can offer them a contract," Lobrano said. And spectators know they're going to see dancers bound for the major world stages.
Good economic impact figures are also a vital component in fundraising.
"It helps justify the support from both private and public sectors, that the money they invest in this event is well spent," said Peyton Prospere, longtime board member and chairman of its budget committee. "There is a return."
That return is artistic, aesthetic and financial, but the IBC also enhances the city's self-image and the state's reputation globally, he said — effects that are more difficult to quantify.
For 2014, the aim is to collaborate further with destinations such as Vicksburg, Natchez and Greenwood and more for day trips or excursions to extend visitors' time here and "really showcase the state," Prospere said, "because we do have a lot to offer.
"I can't think of a better marketing tool than the IBC for the entire state. It really puts us in a very strong light."
The next USA IBC isn't until 2014, but dance fans can get their next fix at the July 14 Reunion Gala, which will feature 1990's Grand Prix winner Jose Carreno.
The Reunion Gala's topflight dance card is stacked with additional favorites from previous competitions.
Returning medalists are: Misha Ilyin (Russia, senior bronze 2002); Misa Kuranaga (Japan, senior gold 2006) with partner Jeff Cirio (USA, junior bronze 2006); Brooklyn Mack (USA, senior silver 2006); Joseph Gatti, (USA, senior bronze 2006) with partner Adiarys Almeida, Cuba (finalist 2006); Alys Shee (Canada, junior silver 2010); and Candice Adea (Philippines, senior silver 2010) with partner Jean Marc Cordero (Philippines, semi-finalist 2010).
Project dancers John Michael Schert and Annali Rose are also on the program.
Tickets to the Reunion Gala will go on sale May 21.

A Few Of My Favorite Things {August 2018}posted by Andrea | 08/1/2018
The past week has been much cooler and less humid — both things I am thankful for in late July!
We've enjoyed having the windows open most days, AND the cooler temps at night — which means we can actually sleep with the covers on! Such little things, but they are some of my favorites (especially since we were running the air conditioning most of the month).
Today I'm sharing a few more of my favorite things!

Also, check out my Amazon Market for all my favorite things.
Bunch O Balloons Water Balloons
If your kids love water balloons but you absolutely HATE the chore of filling them up and tying them off, you MUST buy Bunch O Balloons for your next water fight!
They come in bunches of 33 balloons on a convenient spout that connects to most standard garden hoses. Once you hook the balloons up to your hose and turn the water on, you'll have 33 water balloons, tied and ready to throw in roughly 60 seconds.
It's SO fabulous!
Rubbermaid Take-Along Containers
I have four 9″ x 13″ Rubbermaid Take-Alongs brand containers for years and years — and even though they are supposedly disposable, I've been washing and reusing them on a weekly basis.
Yes, I have other 9″ x 13″ containers I use for cooking and baking, but these plastic containers are SO LIGHT WEIGHT, they stack amazingly well, and the lids fit extremely tight so I never worry about anything spilling.
Plus, they are very deep so I can fit a huge amount of food inside.
I use one for the variety of chopped up veggies we always have in the fridge, I use another one whenever I make my big layered lettuce salad (all my other 9″ x 13″ containers are too shallow), and I use the other 2 to store baked goods, freezer meals, or even for craft supplies
Basically, I'm always using these containers!
Unfortunately, I can't find the exact ones I have on Amazon anymore, but here's a link to their other Take-Alongs brand containers (all of which are super light weight and stack so well.
Printable Kid's Worksheets
I'll be honest, I had ZERO intentions of doing any type of school work with any of my children over the summer. I figured that as long as we read regularly and played outside a lot, that would be good enough for our 6, 4, and 3 year olds!
However, soon into the summer, Nora and Simon started requesting "homework" — or basically any type of worksheet they could do at home! 🙂
Of course, James wants to do whatever they do, so I searched the internet for free printables, and found the most amazing website!
Education.com has thousands and thousands of free QUALITY resources for every age child. It's extremely easy to search for exactly what you're looking for (tailored specifically to the child's age, ability, interests, etc.) and then you can simply print off whatever you want.
The kids have enjoyed doing "homework" over the summer, and I have enjoyed them sitting relatively quietly at the table for a few minutes!
Double Needle for Sewing Machine
I am far from an expert seamstress, and while I don't make many items from scratch anymore, I am pretty good at altering clothing to make something new out of something old.
I regularly alter items I find at thrift stores to work for our family members, and I'm always shortening or lengthening pants for people!
I don't buy too many sewing gadgets, simply because I can easily get by with what I have in the house — however, last year, after being very frustrated with my attempts to shorten Nora's leggings into capris, I purchased a double needle from our local sewing supply store.
The double needle is thread exactly the same way as a single needle… you just use 2 spools of thread. The main benefit is that it allows the finished product to be somewhat stretchy — which is perfect for sewing Nora's leggings and other kid items that need to be stretchy.
It's very easy to put on and take off (you'll just need a tiny Phillips screwdriver) and it only cost me around $5 — so very affordable as well.
I've used my double needle so many times over the past year — it's such a fun and useful sewing tool to have around.
Family Meals at the Table
This is sort of a silly one, but after talking with a couple friends last week, I realized that our family eats EVERY SINGLE MEAL together all summer long!
Even though our family meal times are often very loud, very messy, and sometimes very frustrating (when kids refuse to eat or when large amounts of food spill), I am positive I will look back on the hundreds and thousands of meals we ate together with nothing but happy memories.
Even though it takes a huge amount of time and effort to plan, purchase, prepare, serve, and clean up all the food our family eats each day, it's worth all my efforts to have us all together around the table.
Obviously, once school start we'll be back to eating in shifts for breakfast and lunch, but dinner will still be something we enjoy as a family (even if it is at 4:30 in the afternoon!)
I hope that as our kids' schedules get busier, we'll still be able to find time to eat together several times a week — because it's definitely one of my most favorite things!
That's all for me this month.

Hi there,
Have so enjoyed watching the virtual grandkids over the summer! What has happened to Nora?! How can she be so tall and pretty and poised? Seems she was just a baby and you had no sleep !
Now that our GrandOne is 2 I found this post very interesting and shared it with my d-i-l. She is a first time Mom who is trying to be Best Mom of the World 24/7! She will enjoy using the simple work sheets for Brody to scribble on. He can count to 12 and say and identify the ABC's. Everything has to be by the book! I don't think he'll EVER get dirty!
Write a post for Moms of 2 year olds- trying to get her to read your blog….I don't have time for that, I'm too busy chasing after him every minute, she says! Somehow she has to stop feeling that every minute is his and find a balance and a little time for herself.
Try Lock n Lock containers. BPA free, microwave safe. QVC has them. Used for years!
One of my favorites for my 5 year old daughter has been this sticker book. The stickers are numbered up to 100 depending on the picture. The books cost about $9. I am going to buy one of each of the different books (birds, bugs, etc.) and be set for birthday party presents for the year.

I was just thinking last night that I can't remember the last time the 4 of us sat down for a meal together this summer. My son has been working and is often gone at mealtime. I'm at work during the day so I miss breakfast and lunch at home. My daughter has had activities that sometimes conflict with meal times and my husband is working 3rd shift which puts him in a separate orbit from the rest of us. My son leaves for college in 2 weeks so I hope we can fit something in before then! Missing the days when the kids were small and had few activities and responsibilities.
When I was a kid every summer my mum would buy one of those maths exercise books. I loved them. I am a bit of a nerd, but I have fond memories of getting to work on exercises that I enjoyed over the summer rather than doing what my teacher told me to do. The addition colour with number would have been right up my alley!
Thank you for that perspective on family meals. There are many things I prefer to do rather than cooking, especially with three hungry young children around. Now my husband is working from home full time, and the stream of meals and snacks feels endless. I made a sign for my kitchen that says, "Nurture & Nourish," to remind me what all those meals are about.
It's not just bodies we're feeding–it's souls and spirits.
I love family dinners, too! Now that our kids are older and in so many activities I find the best way to preserve that time is to either plan ahead with a crockpot meal or simplify and doing something like sandwiches… I remind myself that the time we spend together is more important than the actual food we have….and sometimes, we just eat a later dinner and get pizza….
I've had my 9×13 Take-a-longs forever! I think Meijer almost always has them!
The worksheets made me laugh…. when I homeschooled, Education.com was definitely NOT my boys' favorite website 😉
These posts are my favorite!

I also love the Rubbermaid containers. I have about 5 of them and use them to store cookies that I freeze for church coffee..They are awesome.

Me too! I have three food saving strategies. I bought a food saver and I vac seal everything that will not get squished. For home I try to use glass snaploks because they can microwave food and I don't have to dirty another bowl etc, but the Rubbermaid stuff RULES in my motorhome. And in places where we have no water to spare I actually wipe them with paper towels, put the lid back on and put them in the fridge where they keep stuff from sliding around. California roads were last paved when Reagan was governor I think. Some potholes could eat a Prius. My food takes a beating on the road so padding it really helps. And the best part is when we get home they wash so easily. If you never cook in them or put really red stuff in them they last forever. I have some that are over 5 years old.

Overall 5 star rating out of 10 reviews
"Sheila has done a wonderful job getting us through a sometimes difficult negotiation and transaction process. Once things were moving forward, she was willing to take extra efforts to resolve unexpected issues and take some of the burden off of us after we had already moved away from the area. We could not have done it without her."
"This is my second transaction with Sheila. She sold us the house I just sold. She tells it like it is with no nonsense and listens when you describe your priorities. She told me what needed to be done - I did it and got a contract in 7 days. Closed yesterday. Sheila pushed enough and then delivered. Selling is always a crapshoot but she managed it well. I liked working with her. What can I say, she delivered."
"We are big fans of Sheilas work. Within the past year (2014/2015) she sold my house in Libertyville and then helped us a purchase a new one in Lake Bluff. Sheila has many strengths, but the ones would focus on include but are not limited to:-Experience: Sometimes experience just means youve been doing something for a long time. However in Sheilas case it means shes been thru the ups and downs of the market and know how to manage it. Sheila first helped me understand the local market in 2007 when it was booming and prices were through the roof, I chose not to sell at that point and to wait, and while I didnt get the same price as I might have 7 years prior, her ability to adapt to the circumstances, understand our needs and to ultimately price the property appropriately were exceptional.-Knowledge: When we were looking for new properties our ideal selections were those that had potential to be changed into our vision of what our home should look/feel like. Since Sheila also has vast knowledge and experience from working with builders and developers earlier in her real estate career, she understands the potential opportunities and modifications that can be made to existing structures, and had many great ideas for ways to adapt existing homes to our style.-Perspective: As winter was setting in this year and the holidays were approaching we considered taking the home off the market and waiting until spring as many realtors suggest. I asked Sheila her opinion and she said, Well I cant tell you not to, but all you need is one person who wants to buy, and you never know when that person will show up. And if they are looking at houses in Libertyville in December they are going to be pretty serious about buying. I decided to leave the house on the market and sure enough, a few days before Christmas the ultimate buyers contacted us as they were in town for a weekend housing tour due to a new job and a transfer. Without Sheilas experience and knowledge she wouldnt have provided the perspective we needed to keep the house on the market.and sell it.Bottom line, finding the proper real estate professional is a highly personal experience, as one needs to find the proper fit for their personality and style. In our case Sheila Brooks was a great match and provided us with the experience, knowledge and perspective to make our transition from one home to another as painless as possible."
"Sheila has thorough knowledge of the Libertyville real estate market and trends. The right sales and marketing media channels were reached to advertise our home sale. Our property was listed at a correct market price that reached the right targets. We quickly found a most qualified buyer and sold the property from listing to close in less than a month. All my expectations were exceeded.PE"
"Sheila was great. She was upfront about both the positive aspects of our house, as well as those that needed to be addressed (and how). Her assessment was objectively verified by the brokers and potential buyers that visited the house. She also was on target on her valuation of the house, and provided direct and clear advise regarding the process. I have bought 5 houses in 25 years, and nobody has ever been close to Sheila. If I ever have to sell or buy a house again, I will be using Sheila."
"Sheila is a rockstar!"
"We had specific things we needed in a house. Sheila's knowledge of the area made it possible to find a great home for us in a short period of time. Glad a friend had recommended her and we certainly will do the same."
"Gave us a great tour of the area prior to seeing houses, made sure we had all school information. Will continue to refer friends, family & colleagues to Sheila."
"Very knowledgeable-worked on our behalf to make sure as buyers we got the best deal possible."
"Sheila is an outstanding agent in all aspects of buying a home, very knowledgable. Recommended inspector and lawyer who were also excellent. I don't believe we could have found a better agent!"
"Our broker has proven to be an experienced agent who has very deep knowledge about this market place which as we believe is one of good reasons we were able to sell our house just before this unusually challenging sale season is about to end. Her most valuable help and guidance to us came after we got the offer from the buyer, particularly during final price negotiation and after the house inspection."
"Sheila knows the Lake County market very well. She is a true professional and serves her clients well."
"Sheila's worth really became obvious during those unexpected bumps in the road during the sale process. Her vast network of service provider contacts in Lake County also proved invaluable."
"Sheila did an excellent job finding the property and moving the process forward. She knows the market and area. She made this an easy process."

Much as I admire this extraordinary community of plants, it is not a natural environment. It is, in fact, a giant planting box embedded in a concrete surface. It bears some comparison to an exhibit in a zoo.
How strange that a naturally evolving and self-sustaining community of plants on an abandoned railroad trestle could have been the genesis of such a sophisticated, very expensive, and ultimately unsustainable construct as the High Line (unsustainable because it can't continue to exist on its own). This High Line seems almost a contradiction of the original, "natural" High Line.
Don't get me wrong. I admire the High Line as a masterpiece of garden and urban landscape design. But I think we need to call a spade a spade. This is a complex recreational, aesthetic, and perhaps spiritual machine, requiring enormous amounts of money and labor to create and maintain it. Without continuous funding, knowledgeable planting and horticultural expertise, and hordes of maintenance and security forces, it couldn't continue. It is not natural, and anyone who tells you otherwise is selling you a bill of goods.
But it is a superb example of naturalistic planting, and the horticultural practices that sustain its plant life are derived directly from observation of nature. This simple planting uses small trees and shrubs to create a micro-enrivonment. Within their shade only two perennials--carefully selected for their ability to thrive in understory, rocky conditions, and for their aesthetic qualities--make a beautiful design.
Both Heuchera villosa 'Brownies' and Carex eburnea look great in their rectangular island planting, even now, well into autumn. They are reminders of "Nature" in the big sense, but also of nature on a stage set, displayed with great self-consciousness and much forethought, the better to attract the interest of the human ecology of the High Line ...

between rachel... joanna.... my mom.... and gillian.... it just feels like christmas around here.
from measuring cups and towels to coffee... and coffee and coffee... cookies (that i cant touch until julton comes back.... tomorrow morning!!!!) to blackberry jelly to dried cranberries.... taco seasoning and forgotten christmas sunglasses.... stickers and stickers and stickers.... its beginning ot look a lot like christmas :) and im ok with that. i have great and very generous friends (and mom :) )
makes me feel a lot like a little kid again since when i was younger aunt juanita would alway bring presents in or around july... and it was definitely christmas in july.
im also, little by little progressing on the afghan.. more on that another time... (which reminds me, mom sent a knitting book.... so im going to start learning to knit.... ohhhh whats up socks here i come! i decided to cave and learn or at least try to learn how to knit... because you can search and search for fun crochet designs (and find some) but there is an overflowing bounty of knitting designs out there.. so im giving in and im going to try to learn. fingers crossed.
aaandd i cant forget to mention our mini cup today at school. although i dont have pictures for it... all of this week each classroom was preparing and learning about other countries all for today. i loved walking in the 3 year classroom and being greeted in japanese while they were having the flag painted on their faces. each classroom was assigned a different country and today was our mini cup. lots of loud music, lots of cheering, lots of chasing the ball.... out the lines and into the playground .... and anywhere but on the field. they even brought in some of the guys from a college soccer team to get the kids excited about playing, a couple of the guys had children in the school too, all the more exciting. every day is a different adventure when you work in a jardin. :)

Instead of this unlicensed broker, consider trading with IQ Option – the best regulated broker for South African traders!
CapitalXP is an offshore unlicensed Forex and CFDs broker that allows South African traders to place trades in forex, stocks, indices, and commodities. This broker has several restrictions and the most important one is that it does not accept traders from the following countries: USA, Belgium, France, Iran, Canada, and North Korea.
CapitalXP Special Features
On its website, the broker has different account versions according to the categories and their capabilities. What surprised us at the very beginning is the huge lack of information that this broker is providing to traders.
First, the traders cannot find any information about the minimum deposit or even leverage, spread or trading cost information. However, CapitalXP listed some of the information for each account and we decided to present it to our traders:
Basic Account
- Educational webinars
- Introduction to financial market
- Platform introduction
- Dedicated account manager
Silver Account
- 1 on 1 tutorial
- Long- and short-term strategies
- Risk management
- Personal Skype service
- Bonus
- All Basic Account benefits
- Sentimental analysis
- Fundamental analysis
- Technical analysis
Gold Account
- Trading signals
- 1 on 1 MT4 course
- Senior account manager
- All Basic and Silver Account benefits
- Advanced trading strategies
- Better spreads
Platinum Account
- Private webinar with an expert
- Live trading with an expert
- All Basic, Silver and Gold Account benefits
- Daily market brief
- VIP webinars
Diamond Account
What was really interesting is that CapitalXP does not provide any information about this account. To see more, traders need to contact CapitalXP Account Manager.
CapitalXP Trading software
This broker uses more than 120 different CFDs in forex, stocks, and indices. As we already mentioned, with CapitalXP traders cannot trade cryptocurrencies. As for the platforms, we learned that with CapitalXP traders can use two different platforms:
In order to use this world-famous platform, traders need to download it on their mobile or desktop. Once traders download it, they will get username and password required to use it and their account will be linked with the account made on CapitalXP. This powerful platform is recognized across the world between traders and every day more and more people are using it.
Mobile Application
CapitalXP mobile application can be downloaded both, on Android and iOS devices and these two are the perfect solution for traders who are traveling or constantly on the move. As this broker claims, this application is a simplified model of MetaTrader4 and traders love the opportunity to be able to trade anytime and anywhere. What is important to note, is the internet connection traders need to have available at all times.
CapitalXP Education
This broker helps all beginners to enhance their learning before they decide to invest real money. At the broker's website, South African traders can find different education materials, eBooks, webinars and educational videos. All these materials are free to use, and we advise our South African traders to prepare themselves by learning from the materials provided.
CapitalXP Customer Support
At the time of our research, we managed to contact the customer support team. Basically, the customer support team works 24/5 and is available on live chat, telephone, email or by filling their online contact form. It is important to note that traders prefer when they have access to a customer support team and when they can find out any information needed for trading.
CapitalXP Payment Methods
CapitalXP broker is operated and owned by a company called Quattro Holding Group LTD. This company is located at St Vincent and the Grenadines. The available payment methods for this broker are credit card (Mastercard, Visa), bank wire transfers, Qiwi wallet, and Yandex. This broker is unlicensed and there are a lot of red flags pointing that this is a scam. We advise all our South African readers to stay away from this type of broker and choose regulated brokers for added security and benefits.

Eastern Fox Squirrel
Common Name: Eastern Fox Squirrel
Scientific Name: Sciurus niger
Total Length: 18-28 inches
Tail Length: 7-13 inches
Weight: 1-3 pounds
Comments: Eastern fox squirrels have fox-like, bushy tails with orange fringe and reddish-orange fur. They are larger than eastern gray squirrels and spend more time on the ground. Several nests of leaves may be constructed in forked branches high in trees and used for resting or rearing their young. During winter they prefer nests in hollow trees. Their behavior, reproduction, and longevity are similar to gray squirrels.
Distribution: The range of eastern fox squirrels is from northeast Mexico through the eastern half of the United States into south-central Canada. They are common in oak-hickory woodlands and wooded parks and neighborhoods throughout Kansas.
Food: They feed on nuts, seeds, berries, buds, and insects. Occasionally they eat bird eggs and nestlings.
For more information, read the GPNC Fox Squirrel Portrait.

An economic recession like the one the United States has recently experienced can cause immense financial and emotional strain on citizens. Job loss, in particular, is a uniquely stressful event that can create feelings of loss of control, worry, and fear. For people with a risk for negative mental health outcomes, an economic recession may be an especially vulnerable time.
Some statistics suggest that mental health problems and even suicides increase during a recession. However, according to a recent study led by Anthony M. Garcy of the Center for Health Equity Studies at Stockholm University/Karolinska Institute in Sweden, more people take their own lives in the period after a recession than during one. Garcy discovered this finding after a thorough examination of national data from Sweden that included unemployment, health, and mortality records from over 3,400,000 Swedish citizens during a recession and in the following years.
He found that although job loss was high, suicide rates did not increase dramatically as a result during the recession period. However, for men especially, the postrecession period suicide rates were higher than during the recession. Garcy considered other factors, such as marital status, socioeconomic conditions, and family support, and found that despite these, men with a history of long unemployment were most at risk for suicide during postrecession times.
The results suggest that there is an indirect and loose association between unemployment and suicide. Garcy also looked at other risk factors, such as mental health, drug and alcohol use, and being single and found that these increased the risk. He believes that people with these additional risk factors may have a more fragile sense of psychological well-being and, when subjected to long periods of unemployment, may not be able to cope as well as their more resilient peers.
"Our findings are consistent with the idea that mental health problems are likely to have developed as a result of unemployment, particularly as unemployment experience accumulated over time," said Garcy. These growing mental health problems put people at greater risk for psychological deterioration and ultimately, suicide. Given the dynamic fluctuations in the global economy, these results are significant for people everywhere. Garcy believes that suicide interventions are particularly essential to people with long-term unemployment histories, especially those with psychological risk factors.

Video conferencing is a powerful tool that can have a tremendous impact on your business. Here are five great examples of its usefulness.
1. Interview Screening
Finding the right person is SO important… but the Hiring process can be so incredibly time consuming.
Once you narrow down by resume… Leverage the power of video to screen potential candidates for professionalism, communication skills, and organizational fit to save yourself from having to interview in person. Video interviews will save you time, money and face-to-face disappointment!
2. Connecting Offices
At BOS Holdings… we have offices in Chicago, Roselle, Madison, Milwaukee and Orlando. Every day we connect our teams through our video conferencing technology, Highfive. Less road trips and flights save us money… seeing our teammates boosts collaboration and culture. If you have multiple offices, you too can break down geographic boundaries!
3. Multiple Uses
We love technology that is easy to use and serves multiple purposes. Not only can we use Highfive for video calls, but we also use it to wirelessly share content and even record meetings for on-demand training and review! Woo Hoo!
4. Consolidation of Services
Since our video conferencing technology can do so much, we have gotten rid of webx, go to meeting, and joinme – all great services in their own rite… but not necessary to pay for now that we can do it all through Highfive!
Oh… and we also got rid of our conference phone lines since Highfive can do audio conferencing.
5. Digital Advocacy
And finally, video conferencing is a great way to create a digital culture at your workplace. Before we started using Highfive, we rarely did video calls. Today, we do them multiple times a day! As technology continues to play a larger roll in almost every industry, forward thinking companies are taking advantage of effective ways to connect people and spaces… and video conferencing is one of the best!
Want to learn more? Workspace Digital is a full service technology integrator. We have access to all the latest tech, offer the most competitive pricing… and most importantly, we've tried and tested it all through our many locations.
Have you ever been in a meeting that runs late and whoever has reserved the room next is mulling around like an annoyed zombie? One great feature from our video conferencing solution, Highfive can save you. Here's how it works.
Start a video meeting from your phone, computer, or other mobile device.
If your meeting isn't over before your need to leave the room… simply pull the meeting back to your device and take it to another open space.
You can either finish your meeting from your device… or if you move to another space that is equipped with Highfive hardware… you can push the meeting to that room and continue on!
Another way we've used this feature is for show and tell.
Say we're doing a video call in our board room and want to show remote participants something on our showroom floor. We can simply pull the meeting to our phone… use that camera on our phone to show them what we want… and then push the meeting back up to the room camera.
Super easy… incredibly effective… and very affordable. Connect with us if you want to learn more!
Thanks for watching – have a great week!

Hilton in JV with DLF
By siliconindia | Wednesday, 29 November 2006, 06:00 Hrs
New Delhi: Beverly Hills-based Hilton Hotels Corp. has decided to get into a joint venture with India based DLF Ltd. to develop and own 75 hotels and service apartments over the next seven years. The JV will be 26:74 at an investment of upto $143 million. Approved by the cabinet just last week, Hilton was also permitted to set up a wholly owned subsidiary in India for managing hotels, involving an investment of 1300 million. The JV-owned hotels will represent several brands from the corporationâs portfolio, including Hilton Hotels, Hilton Garden Inn, Homewood suites by Hilton, and Hilton Residences. According to Hilton, they will hold a minority stake while DLF will hold a 74 percent stake in JV "as a symbol of its commitment to the venture." The announcement comes a day after Accor of Europe tied up with Emaar MGF to set up 100 hotels in the next few years at an investment of $300 million. Chandigarh, Chennai and Kolkata are the prime locations for the initial stage of the joint venture involving 20 hotels. Hilton already has nine franchised hotels in India, under Trident Hilton and Hilton brands, through its alliance with the Oberoi family-controlled East India Hotels (EIH). "India is an outstanding market for hotel development, given its powerful combination of economics and demographics," said Ian Carter, executive vice president of Hilton Hotels Corp. and CEO of Hilton International Operations.

Hostess, which filed for bankruptcy last year and began liquidating its assets in November, announced that it has accepted the latest stalking-horse bid worth $410 million for the purchase of its snack cake brands, bringing the total amount of stalking-horse bids for its bakery brands up to $858 million. The bids establish a floor where bidding will begin at a February 28 auction when the bankrupt company's brands and assets will be put up for sale.
C. Dean Metropoulos & Co. and Apollo Global Management joined together to submit the snack cake bid. The bid is a proposed price for brands such as Twinkies and Dolly Madison and five bakeries where the products were made.
C. Dean Metropoulos & Co. has bought other famous but troubled brands including Pabst Brewing Co. and successfully turned them around.
"We share these bidders' goal of quickly restoring Twinkies®, CupCakes®, Ding Dongs® and Ho Hos®, among others, to shelves across America, and view new, serious ownership as a necessity for building a sustainable model for these brands moving forward," said David Durkee, president of BCTGM, a union representing 5,000 Hostess bakery workers. "The BCTGM looks forward to the opportunity to work together productively and is now engaging with bidders who recognize the value that we can bring to an ongoing business."
Previously, Hostess had accepted a $360 million bid from Flowers Food, Inc. for Wonder Bread, Butternut, and other bread brands and 20 bakeries where they were made. Two other companies made successful stalking-horse bids on other lesser known Hostess brands.
The $858 million stalking-horse bids are almost twice as high as a 2011 estimate of the company's worth.
Hostess went out of business in November after BCTGM members went on strike.
Before the strike, members overwhelmingly rejected the company's take-or-leave-it final contract offer that cut wages by 27 percent over five years, increased worker health care expenses, reduced health care benefits, and did not restore pension contributions.
The media has dutifully reported that the strike caused Hostess to go out of business and lay off 18,000 workers, but Mike Hummel, a member of BCTGM Local 218 and a 14-year Hostess employee, tells a different story in a video entitled, "Inside the Hostess Bankery: Who Keeps the Dough."
According to Hummel, the three private equity firms that own Hostess purposely provoked the strike by making a lowball final last best offer, which they knew BCTGM members could not accept. They then used the strike as an excuse to liquidate the company and sell off its assets.
The sale, says Hummel, will turn a nice profit for the private equity firms.
Ripplewood Holdings, Silver Point Capital, and Monarch Alternative Capital bought Hostess in 2009 after the company filed for bankruptcy for the first time. As part of the deal, the new owners asked Hostess union workers to make contract concessions estimated to be worth $110 million.
The new owners said that they would use money saved by the concessions to modernize the bakeries and make Hostess products competitive.
Among other concessions, workers agreed to allow the owners to deduct $10 a week per worker from worker paychecks. The deductions would be used to fund infrastructure improvements at the bakeries.
But according to the workers interviewed by Hummel, those investments never took place.
The CEO gave himself and other executive raises and bonuses, then blamed the workers for the bankruptcy, said Kenneth, a Local 218 member. "I feel if they were going to do something like that, they should put it on the fact that they didn't spend money on equipment that we were working with because a lot of equipment was breaking down and needing repairs," he said. "The money they stuck in their pockets should have been money that they should have invested in the company."
Other workers interviewed by Hummel tell a similar story. Workers constantly had to make do with broken and antiquated equipment and few if any of the promised modernizations ever got off the ground.
In addition to not keeping their promise to invest in the company, the new owners decided to keep workers' money that was supposed to be used to fund pensions.
Under terms of the old contract, BCTGM members' compensation package includes $4.25 per hour per worker that went to the workers' pension fund, which pays for a pension, retiree insurance, and a death benefit. But in August 2011, Hostess stopped sending that $4.25 an hour to the pension plan and instead kept it. Some of that money was used to pay executive bonuses and raises.
"They stole $50 million from our pension," Hummel said.
The company owners have never returned this money, and the bankruptcy court has ruled that they don't have to.
According to Hummel, the theft of their pension and the new owners' broken promise to invest in the company made BCTGM members wary of making more sacrifices, and that's what led to the company's demise.

EdTech News Round-Up: Facebook, Ethical AI, And The Future Of Pearson
From today's tech responsibility to examining the legacy of yesterday's education legislation.
Our summary of the recent education and technology stories hitting the headlines.
What Parents and Teachers Should Note From Mark Zuckerberg's Senate Testimony
Last week, US senators interrogated Facebook chief Mark Zuckerberg about a range of data practices and protocols. During the trial, several questions emerged concerning the company's approach toward younger users.
Over the past few years, the use of social networking tools in schools have expanded in universities and K-12 schools. In addition to this Facebook has released a messenger app for kids below 13 who are too young to make standard Facebook profiles.
The Children's Online Privacy Protection Act, a law passed in 1998 to protect the online activities of children under age 13, requires that children be given permission from adult guardians before engaging with certain websites.
In relation to the law, Zuckerberg was asked if he would support a new "privacy bill of rights for kids," under which Facebook would have to get permission from the parents before any of their information is used for purposes other than the original intent.
His response: He's not sure.
In response to today's 'Tech Addiction', with young people specifically, Zuckerberg said he believes Facebook's responsibility is not just building services that people like, but building ones that "are good for people and good for society as well."
However, this seems to be contrary to a 2017 study that concluded that "overall, Facebook use does not promote well-being" and "individual social media users might do well to curtail their use of social media and focus instead on real-world relationships."
The UK says It Can't Lead on AI Spending, So Will Have to Lead on AI Ethics Instead
As governments around the world plan their Artificial Intelligence-powered futures, the UK is preparing to take on a more scholarly and moral approach with their involvement in AI.
The UK plans to forge a distinctive role for itself as a pioneer in ethical AI. This will involve government sponsoring a series of basic research into AI in order to develop its role and create a framework for the ethical development and deployment of artificial intelligence systems.
The AI code that they hope to create will have national and possibly even international applications. It is with this ethical code that AI will be developed for the common good and benefit of humanity, operate on principles of intelligibility and fairness, and not be used to diminish the data rights or privacy of individuals, families, or communities.
By developing an ethical approach, the UK hopes to ensure that the public can trust AI technology while being prepared to challenge its misuse.
What's Next for Pearson? (Not buying Your Education Startup.)
At the ASU+GSV Summit this week in San Diego, Edsurge sat down John Fallon, CEO of Pearson to learn more about what is next for Pearson and their digital strategy.
During the interview, Fallon discusses the current position of Pearson's overall digital transformation strategy from analog to digital.
Fallon stated that Pearson will continue to invest in early-stage education technology and identify innovative ideas that will scale over time in order to benefit them both in economic terms and from strategic terms.
"As we go through the digital transformation," he says, "you have to re-engineer, remake, rethink the way that you do things each and every year….[it's] about how we get the best possible return for that billion dollars that we invest each year, and we're not going to get the best return unless we're constantly asking and challenging ourselves."
George W. Bush Defends Legacy of No Child Left Behind at Education Business Conference
Former President George W. Bush made an appearance at this year's ASU+GSV Summit.
In his talk, he defended the No Child Left behind Act, although it has been replaced by a new system deemed to be more flexible and fairer to schools.
Bush argued that before this law made in 2002 states and schools could skate by on middling student achievement and faced no consequences for not delivering results, he also argued that the law forced policymakers to set expectations for students who too many educators and policymakers had given up on.
Educators and researchers have long debated the impact of No Child Left Behind on achievement. Bush argues that the law's value was aimed at conquering the "soft bigotry of low expectations" and correcting "a system that did not measure."
Regardless of the arguments against him, he says that he is really proud of the legislation.
