Attic insulation ranks as one of the best investments for homeowners, offering significant energy savings and return on investment when it's time to sell the house. When it comes to increasing overall home efficiency attic insulation along with other improvements like low-e windows and efficient heating and cooling systems are key. However, for homeowners it's often best to start at the top, and that means considering the benefits of proper attic insulation.
Understanding R-Value
R-value is how insulation is rated. The higher the R-value, the higher the insulating power of the material. The NRCan (Natural Resources Canada) states,
"To rate insulation, its resistance to heat flow is measured, and products are labelled with both an RSI value (Résistance Système International) and an R-value. The R-value is the imperial measurement, and the RSI-value is the metric measurement of thermal resistance."
It's important to note that R-value isn't the only factor that should be considered when adding attic insulation, or insulation in any other location of the home. The amount of insulation needed depends a lot on the region and its climate. In addition, the insulation must be installed properly in order to get its full R-value.
Benefits of Spray Foam Insulation
For most homeowners, the attic offers the most cost-effective location for adding insulation. Spray-foam insulation professionally installed is one of the easiest methods and saves the homeowner time and hassle. Options include two types of spray foam insulation: open cell spray foam and closed cell spray foam.
Open cell spray foam is used for interior insulating purposes only and is ideal for attics. For homeowners looking for a strong return on investment, it's a good choice as it's typically budget-friendly and provides an R-value of 3.7 (at one inch). Open cell spray foam accommodates seasonal shifting, has vapor permeability, and also provides sound dampening.
Closed cell spray foam may be used for both interior and exterior insulation. It's a good choice for between the joists in the attic, providing an R-value of 6 (at one inch). Although a bit more expensive than open cell spray foam insulation it does have several benefits. It also accommodates seasonal shifting and has vapor permeability. It provides a vapor barrier as well plus it offers structural reinforcement and it can deflect water.
Energy Savings
Not only does this improvement pay for itself at the time of a sale, but it also pays for itself each month in the form of energy savings. Homeowners should note that energy or fuel savings also depends on several factors. These include but are not limited to:
- Climate/area temperatures
- Size of the home
- Age of the home (10+ years old usually needs more insulation)
- Materials used in the home's construction
- Amount of insulation already in place
According to NAIMA Canada, about 80 percent of all Canadian homes are under-insulated and "the correct amount of attic insulation can help you maintain a comfortable temperature throughout your home and help save money on your energy bills."
When uncertain if your home needs additional insulation, rely on professional contractors who can perform an inspection and help determine how much is needed and the best type for the home. Attic insulation is a good investment for most homeowners and will provide a positive return on investment if and when the home is sold.

My algebra's a bit rusty. However I think this works. It equates to Iran + Oman.
And that's what's going on. Oman and Iran are pretty much becoming an item!
There are many news articles on this appearing. Mostly low-key. As if the authorities are saying we've got 'a good thing going, but lets not make much noise about it'.
Iran is, and has been, since the 1979 revolution, a very predominantly Islamic state with the letter of the shari'a followed in word and spirit. While this is not something very unique in the Islamic world, Iran is the only country in the world where the followers of the Shiite sect of Islam are in absolute majority in the population (as much as 98%) and in the government. This marks Iran to be very different from the rest of Muslim world. The only country that comes even close is Iraq, with 58% of its population being Shiite, but this majority had been opressed and prosecuted under the rule of Saddam. Also currently, with the power-sharing schemes and %age-wise representation schemes being discussed for governance in Iraq, Shiites have a shot at being in and around the corridors of the government there too. As a side note, Iraq and Iran are traditional pilgrimage centers of the Shiite sect by virtue of being home to the shrine of the Im'ams or Leaders of the Shiite sect. Out of 12 Leaders of the Shiites, 1 has his shrine in Iran in the city of Mashhad, 6 shrines are in Iraq (Baghdad, Kadhimiya, Samarra, Najaf and Kerbala) and 5 are in Saudi Arabia (in the area known as Jannat-ul-Baqi)
Oman is a low-key, predominantly Sunni Ibadhi country at the north of the south of the Middle East. Oman is a stone's throw from Saudi Arabia, UAE and Yemen by land; and Pakistan and Iran by sea. Oman is predominantly lived-in by Sunni Ibadhi-muslims who are a mixture of the alongwith Orthodox Sunni, Shiites, miniority Wahhabi and Kharji groups. Oman's claim to fame have been the ancient seafarers from the country's generous coastline. This made this area a thoroughfare for ancient pilgrims to Mecca from overseas, a landing/rest area for people involved in the booming trade routes between India and Africa and a safe niche for people, mostly refugees, from the Persian, Roman and MidEastern conflicts and wars.
Oman and Iran, both, have had a ressurection in the late 1970s. In Iran this was manifested in the form of the Islamic revolution. In Oman, this was the emergence of a new ruler from the sands of the desert that blew across and obscured the non-national activities going on in the Dhofar region. Where Iran took the agressive role of taking upon the world, holding (and shaking, kicking and screaming) the bull by its horns (in the form of the American Embassy thingy and its national stance), Oman slowly and steadily built shop, arranging the shelves and laying the carpet and decorating the walls; removing the shroud, one step at a time.
Fast forward to the 21st century. Like a kid running blindly over stones and uneven ground, Iran has emerged from the past 30 years way ahead, up on top of the hill, well on the way to progress and being considered a regional power. But this kid is panting and heaving, his clothes are in tatters, he has bruised and injured his knees from when he fell over in the Gulf War. His knees are recovering, but he is still running in the same careless way as before.
Oman, like the proverbial tortoise (or maybe the green turtle of R'as al Hadd), walked along the same path at a slow and stately pace. In the way, Oman took time to find a sturdy walking stick, whittle and shape it properly. It acquired proper walking shoes, selected the clearest path, managed to avoid getting his robes soiled, generally remained unscathed and has just started climbing the hill.
Now, the kid at the top of the hill's knees are giving way. He needs shoes, a shirt, but he is at the top. He can see for miles around. He can feel the breeze. The kid at the bottom cannot see much around, but he has the walking stick and clean robes. The two are reaching out to one another. "Find me a stick like that, I'll tell you what I can see". "Let me have some walking shoes and I can warn you of the terrain here", and so on a so forth.
And that, dears, is what is going on.

Strategic Planning Documents/Reports
Strategic Planning Documents/Reports
CMS responds to a variety of inputs to develop and implement its quality measurement agenda for the next 5–10 years. CMS develops and implements measures with the primary purpose of improving care in a spectrum of healthcare service delivery settings such as hospitals, outpatient facilities, physician offices, nursing homes, home health agencies, hospices, inpatient rehabilitation facilities, and dialysis facilities. In broad terms and in context of recent legislative mandates, CMS continues to pursue measure development, implementation, and maintenance work based on the CMS Quality Strategy and its alignment with the National Strategy for Quality Improvement in Health Care (National Quality Strategy) aims and priorities, with an emphasis on process, access, outcome, structure, and patient experience measures. These focus areas drive measure development, selection, and implementation activities. The CMS Quality Strategy articulates goals to improve the quality of care in our health care system:
- Make Care Safer
- Strengthen Person and Family Engagement
- Promote Effective Communication and Coordination of Care
- Promote Effective Prevention and Treatment
- Work with Communities to Promote Best Practices of Healthy Living
- Make Care Affordable
Each goal has a set of objectives and desired outcomes. The Quality Strategy also identifies ongoing and future initiatives and activities that CMS and frontline providers can engage in to achieve each goal and objective. In the context of CMS programs, measure developers should familiarize themselves with the CMS Quality Strategy, and should explicitly link proposed measure concepts to the goals and objectives while taking into consideration the foundational principles described in this document.
The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010, commonly called the Affordable Care Act (ACA), seeks to increase access to high-quality, affordable healthcare for all Americans. Section 3011 of the ACA requires the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to establish a National Quality Strategy (NQS) that sets priorities to guide this effort and includes a strategic plan for how to achieve it. The initial National Quality Strategy established three aims and six priorities for quality improvement.
The three aims are:
- Better care
- Healthy people/healthy communities
- Smarter spending
The six priorities are:
- Making care safer by reducing harm caused in the delivery of care.
- Ensuring that each person and his or her family (caregivers) are engaged as partners in their care.
- Promoting effective communication and coordination of care.
- Promoting the most effective prevention and treatment practices for the leading causes of mortality, starting with cardiovascular disease.
- Working with communities to promote wide use of best practices to enable healthy living.
- Making quality care more affordable for individuals, families, employers, and governments by developing and spreading new healthcare delivery models.
Other key inputs include
- Alignment with other payers, including Medicaid, other federal partners, and private payers.
- Meaningful to patients, caregivers, and providers.
- Focused on outcomes (including patient-reported outcomes), safety, patient experience, care coordination, appropriate use/efficiency, and cost.
- Identification and elimination of disparities in the delivery of care.

DETROIT -- Nissan is very close to eliminating range anxiety with its next-generation electric vehicle battery, Chief Planning Officer Philippe Klein said.
"We don't need that much to get out from the basic range anxiety," Klein said at the Detroit auto show. "We're going to be there relatively quickly."
Klein declined to give a timeline for expanding the electric car's driving range, but suggested the breakthrough could come around the debut of the next-generation Leaf electric vehicle. That car may arrive around 2017 or 2018.
"It's fair to recognize we are a bit short," Klein said of the current Leaf's range. "But for commuting purposes, we are not very far from getting out from range anxiety."
As rated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the Leaf can go 84 miles (134km) on a full charge.
Nissan CEO Carlos Ghosn revealed on a Japanese TV broadcast in November that Nissan is preparing a second-generation EV battery that will "double" the current battery range. But Klein declined to comment on future range targets.
Klein joined Nissan last September from the Japanese carmaker's French partner Renault. He replaced Andy Palmer, who left Nissan to become CEO of Aston Martin.

Escaping Narcissistic Abuse - Stages 4 and 5 of The Codependency Cure
5.5 Hours Video Seminar for Professional and Laypeople
Recorded and produced July 2019
CEU's are available for Illinois clinicians: Psychologists, LCPC's, LCSW's and CADC's.
Seminar Description:
Preparing for The Narcissistic Storm: Stage 4
Stage Four of the Ten Stage Self-Love Recovery Treatment Program empowers, educates, and guides embattled and often gaslit SLDs (codependents), so they can effectively set and keep boundaries while disengaging or terminating relationships with narcissists. In this seminar, you will learn how and why SLDs consistently and predictably fall victim to narcissistic abuse, and why it is nearly impossible to escape the vice-like grip of narcissistic abuse. You will learn about the manipulative and duplicitous strategies that narcissists use to easily render their victim-partners powerless. Power and control and manipulative strategies used to entrap and weaken SLD victims will be discussed.
You will learn about how a person's Self-Love Deficit Disorder/SLDD (codependency) and narcissism interact. Neutralizing a narcissist's debilitating stealthy engagement strategies will be taught. The interactional mechanics and consequences of placing boundaries on narcissists will be presented. Mastering this stage is analogous to becoming skilled at a "psychological chess game." Predicting a narcissist's "moves" helps the SLD escape narcissistic abuse.
Expect to learn the predictable manipulation, mind control, and power and control dynamics that narcissists use to entrap their victims. Without this proactive, educational, and supportive treatment stage, failure, relapse, and/or psychological harm will predictably befall the SLD. The now famous Observe, Don't Absorb (ODA) Technique will be taught (800,000 YouTube videos views). Mastery of ODA enables SLDs to safely emotionally disconnect from the toxic "wrestling match" that the narcissist will do almost anything to keep them engaged in.
Setting Boundaries in a Hostile Environment: Stage 5
This is the Self-Love Recovery Stage when the "stuffhits the fan," during which the prepared SLD moves confidently forward in their plan to escape narcissistic abuse and move closer to self-love abundance. In this stage, the SLD is confident, prepared, and appropriately frightened and nervous with their well-studied and rehearsed plan to set boundaries with people, who by definition, are going to resist and fight back with every bit of their dysfunctional abilities.
As a direct result of the lessons learned in the previous stage, SLDs are sufficiently prepared for the potentially harmful and dangerous reactions of the angered and more than likely agitated and dangerous narcissist. Since being "forewarned is forearmed," this stage begins with Rosenberg's "Surgeon General's Warning," which prepares SLDs for the pathological narcissist's angry and retaliatory reactions to their newfound boundary-setting abilities, the potential for consequences and harm, while accurately predicting the wholescale loss of friends, loved ones, and family members.
One boundary at a time, the SLD begins to insulate and protect themselves, while for the first time, getting a taste of self-love, self-respect, and hope. SLDs are prepared for the "extinction response" or a last-gasp effort to do almost anything to return the SLD back to his/her former trapped relationship role and dysfunctional mental health patterns. Further disconnecting from the narcissist's gaslighting and system manipulation is discussed. SLDD (codependency) addiction and relapse risks are discussed.
Stage 5 leaves few-to-no pathological narcissists "standing," except those to whom the SLD has little choice but to remain connected—such as an elderly parent or a husband who controls the finances and/or children. The carefully executed uncoupling of the SLD/narcissist relationship, and the implementation of boundaries and safety measures, ensures the completion of this stage and the reaching of the next.

We can exercise five times a week. We can watch what we eat, fruits and veggies, no junk food, no high fructose corn syrup, no aspartame. We can carefully discern how to spend our money—good charities, fun vacations, quality presents and products. We can read reviews and carefully look at labels before buying anything (I think I did more research on my last pair of shoes than on my first career choice). In fact, some of us are downright meticulous about what we put into our bodies, how we spend our time, how we live our lives. Some of us are so extremely, unbelievably, annoyingly careful about what we do…except when it comes to our thinking. We give our thoughts—our most intimate companion, the voice in our head—free reign to go wherever it wants. We won't drink water out of a ditch, but we'll gladly let our brain go wallow in a ditch all night. In fact, many of us (including myself for many years), think we cannot control the voice in our head. Like a new puppy that we let piss all over our apartment, we let our brains wander from lust to hate to resentment to jealousy without question. Maybe it's time for a little mind control.
I was struck by this idea yesterday while listening to my favorite Dharma Teacher Gil Fronsdal from the Insight Meditation Center. He made a powerful point. Many people, he said, who are very disciplined about what they put in their bodies give their minds unrestricted and uninhibited access to the full field of thought. I thought, holy crap, that's me.
In fact, we are by nature trained, even encouraged, to be discursive and explorative thinkers. It starts in school with lessons on brainstorming (I know, I teach it all the time). We are encouraged in this modern world to think of all possibilities, all options and ideas. Make lists of pros and cons. Cover all our bases. Look at both sides of the story. And we do. I do. And why not? I actually enjoy thinking. I sit for hours and ruminate, letting my mind wander like a child in a toy store, from world peace to war, from sex to saint hood, from my last meditation session to my next burger, from reasons why I'm so cool to reasons why I'm such a loser. I'm a part time schizophrenic neurotic worry-wart with a megalomaniac complex.
The bottom line is we don't, typically, in this modern world, police our thoughts. And that, it turns out, is a problem. As the Buddha said, "With our thoughts we make our world." And it's true. You can see it best from the outside. We all have friends who can go through the worst week of their life and come out with something positive to say about it. Usually they're the ones who brush the worst off and focus on the best. They're the ones who everyone else thinks are so "lucky." And then we have other acquaintances who would complain about winning the lottery.
Or to quote The Bard, "There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so."
As a sucker for any mystical idea, I recently got drawn into watching The Secret, a movie about a much lampooned new-agey concept called The Law of Attraction. Though the experts in the video (all with strange titles like, Metaphysical Super Guru from Galaxy #7, MSW PhD) spent way too much time talking about how to get rich by thinking about money, the basic point was quite simple: You attract what you think about. And I guess I agree, and not just on a mystical level. Often what we think about is what we see. If you only think about the rejections, failures, and problems, that is often all you will see happening, all you will remember, even when there are countless instances of success.
But how can you change your thoughts? It can be hard to do. I know when I get caught up in a dust storm of negativity it can take hours, even days, for me to notice that the undercurrent of my thinking is resentment and anger. I walk to work, and very often I'll be almost at the door of my classroom before I realize I was stuck on one bad thought the whole time.
Changing Your Thoughts
1. The first step is always awareness. Know that you have a choice. Just as you can pick a salad over a steak and a bottle of water over a beer (though I would never advise that), you can control your thoughts. You deserve to. You do not have to be a slave to negative thoughts and feelings. Some people do believe this. They think, well, I'm just in a bad mood. I'm grumpy. I'm depressed. They accept that their thinking is in control of their higher self. This is not true. Notice your thinking. Believe that, with practice, you can change it.
2. Change the channel. It might take great effort, but when you are stuck in a pattern of negative, inappropriate, or hurtful thinking, do anything you can to change the channel. Gratitude is an excellent way to dump bad thoughts. Much research has been done that shows regular doses of gratitude, even when forced or scheduled (I will stop and be grateful at 5:15) can have long-term positive effects. Other ways to change the channel are to literally change the channel. Media surrounds us. Watch carefully how you act and feel after certain TV shows and movies. I noticed in the past few years that I've become more sensitive to horror movies and TV shows about murders. I noticed the same with modern literary novels which are often full of grit and tragedy. My dreams, moods, thought patterns would be different based on what media I was consuming. After years of this, it suddenly occurred to me—well, maybe my head doesn't need that crap. I still enjoy a good drama or action film, and as I writer I love quality literary work, but I purposely avoid content that is heavy on negative or horrible imagery.
Other ways to change the channel include:
-Humor. Though I don't like horror movies, I do watch a fair amount of adult satire and stand up comedy—I'm a sucker for a good SNL digital short;
-Exercise, which is a natural mood booster
-Talking! I find that my mind often gets stuck when there's an idea or problem I need to get out of myself. Often I need to go see or talk to someone about something. Usually I'm afraid I'll offend them. But once it is out, it feels much better. Remember, there are only two problems in the world—things you can do something about (then do it) and things you can't do anything about (then why worry). See my post on this. If you can't talk to someone about it, try saying what you are thinking out loud to yourself. Then you get to hear how stupid you sound. It might be enough to get you to drop the idea.
3. The third long-term mind control tactic, which I've talked about before, is, of course, meditation. In the Western world we have this mistaken notion that meditation is about sitting and thinking ("I'm going to meditate on that"), but it is really about not thinking. Meditation is mind control. True mindfulness meditation is about emptying the mind, focusing on the breath, or the body, or some other sensation that is outside of the thinking head, in order to give the mind a break. Why stop thinking? In a world plagued by over-thinking, nothing is more refreshing than a few minutes of no thought. After years of meditation, I've just started to recognize the benefits of being able to stop thoughts, especially negative ones, before they get trapped on the hamster wheel in my brain. I'm far from enlightened, but I'm excited by the future prospect when I can be a thought-ninja like some of the teachers I study, able to chop off a thought in mid brainwave before it clogs up the system.
Your thoughts are not you. If that were true, we would all be in big trouble, because a lot of our thoughts are trashy reruns and petty worries. In a lifetime of claiming to want world peace, I've probably spent more time thinking about beer and nachos. I'd hate for the world to see the breakdown of my thoughts. So don't give your thoughts free reign. Take some time to learn to control them or change them.
Otherwise, the only difference between us and the weirdo sitting in the back of the bus mumbling to himself is that we don't say our thoughts out loud.
GIVE UP thinking for a bit AND DIE to the idea that you are your thoughts.

I love finding a good seafood soup recipe that I can convert to my low carb lifestyle. Oh how I love a rich and creamy clam chowder. But what could I do about the potatoes called for in chowders? Cauliflower to the rescue!
This rich clam chowder is easy to make and relatively low in carbs. Clams do have carbs so you need to limit your consumption. In a soup you get to taste the clams without eating too many.
Recipe makes 6 generous portions.
745 Calories
14 Carb Grams
2 Fiber Grams
12 Net Carbs
70.5 Fat Grams
16 Grams Protein
6 slices of bacon, chopped up
1/2 cup of chopped onions
2 cans of clams (each 5oz / 142g)
3 cups of cauliflower florets
1 cup of sliced celery
1/2 cup of sliced carrots
4 cups heavy cream
Salt and pepper to taste.
In a large soup pot, cook the bacon and the onions until the onions are really tender, but don't brown them. I do mine over medium heat for about 8-10 minutes.
Drain the clams, but keep the liquid. Set the clams aside in a cool place.
Add enough water to the clam juice to measure 1-1/2 cups and pour into the soup pot.
Stir in the cauliflower, celery and carrots.
Bring to a boil, reduce heat to and simmer, with the cover on for 20 minutes. The veggies will be nice and tender.
Stir in the cream along with the clams.
Season with salt and pepper and heat through. Do not boil.
I'm a very vigilant person when it comes to handling food properly. One of my concerns is always about what to do with soups that have fish or seafood in them.
I can assure you that you can safely keep the chowder in the fridge for a few days. The key is to get it into the fridge right after your meal. Don't let it sit out. If you don't think you'll be able to eat it again so soon then freeze it into individual portions. It'll keep for up to six months.
Any soup that freezes well is a bonus to me. Since most soup recipes require a fair amount of work, it's always good to have extra on hand for when you just don't have the energy to cook from scratch.
Re-heat the chowder over very low heat, gently. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chowder has reached at least 140°F.
I hope you enjoyed this seafood soup recipe. There are more to follow!

The doctrine of legitimate expectation is one of the Court's controls over the exercise of a decision-maker's powers. The general principle is that the Court will intervene to prevent a decision-maker from making a particular decision (or will quash a decision that is already made) where the decision-maker's prior actions or inactions would make it unfair for that decision to stand (R (on the application of Bhatt Murphy) v The Independent Assessor [2008] EWCA Civ 755 at para 50).
There are two broad categories of legitimate expectation:
- procedural legitimate expectation. This arises where the decision-maker makes an express promise to do particular things during the decision-making process (e.g. a promise to consult) or where the decision-maker has consistently done those things in the past (see, in the context of procedural legitimate expectations Council of Civil Service Unions v Minister for the Civil Service [1985] AC 374 HL 401, and R v Inland Revenue Commissioners, ex p Unilever Plc [1996] STC 681 CA for substantive legitimate expectation). The Court will find a procedural legitimate expectation where the practice is so well established that it would be unfair or inconsistent with good administration to allow the public authority to depart from that practice.
- substantive legitimate expectation. It arises where the decision-maker has promised to keep an existing policy in force, or to do a particular thing, for a specific party or group, and that particular party or group would be substantially affected by a decision to go back on that promise (e.g. a decision to go back on a promise made to a care home resident that he or she can stay there for the rest of their life).
A substantive legitimate expectation will only be found in exceptional circumstances (R (Bhatt Murphy) v Independent Assessor [2008] EWCA Civ 755, para 41) – where allowing the public authority to go back on its word would be so unfair so as to amount to an abuse of power. This is a high threshold for claimants to satisfy (R (Godfrey) v Southwark LBC [2012] EWCA Civ 500, para 51) and a substantive legitimate expectation will only be found where the promise is "pressing and focussed", directed at a particular individual or group, and is clear, unambiguous and without relevant qualification. Ordinarily, the person to whom the promise was made must also have taken action in reliance on that promise which has placed them in a worse situation than they would have been had they not taken that action (R (Bibi) v Newham London Borough Council [2001] EWCA Civ 607 paras 29 and 30).

Vanguard Global Adviser Survey reveals optimism in spite of common obstacles
Vanguard | 25 October 2016
Despite grappling with global challenges like moving to a transparent fee-for-service model and greater regulation, financial advisers across the globe told a recent Vanguard study they were largely optimistic about the future of their businesses.
Vanguard's 2016 Global Adviser Trends Survey drew on insights from financial advisers in Australia, Canada, Hong Kong, the UK and US, finding that although advisers in these regions shared many of the same concerns and challenges, there was also a common sense of optimism when it came to growing client assets.
A key finding from the survey was that advisers in all regions were finding their professional environment more difficult, citing regulation and subsequent compliance as a key challenge in operating their businesses.
Australian advisers reported feeling the most challenged in this way, compared to advisers in other regions. In the Australian cohort, only one in six advisers said their professional environment had improved, with the remainder saying the profession had become more difficult. The Future of Financial Advice (FOFA) reforms were cited as a particular pain point, with 61 per cent of advisers saying it had a negative influence on their businesses.
Keeping up with regulatory changes was the issue of highest concern for Australian advisers, and featured in the top three issues named by advisers in the other regions. Australian advisers also said acquiring new clients and greater fiduciary responsibilities were among their greatest challenges.
Advisers in other parts of the globe cited similar frustration with recent regulatory changes, including the Retail Distribution Review in the UK, Canada's Client Relationship Model and new fiduciary standards in the US. Like FOFA, these changes all signify a move away from commission-based revenue to transparent fee-for-service advice models focused on holistic financial advice, rather than investment selection.
Vanguard Australia National Sales Manager – Adviser, Matt Willis, said the research not only reflected conversations with advisers about challenges their business face, it also highlighted emerging opportunities as the advice environment evolved.
"When we talk to advisers, there is an acute difference between those who have successfully transitioned to a business model based on broad financial planning services, and those who primarily base their value on selecting investments for their clients," Mr Willis said.
"The report clearly shows that where advisers had moved to fee-for-service model, they saw their clients better understand what value proposition they presented. In this context, it's positive to see increased transparency helping advisers showcase the full breadth and depth of their value to clients.
"As Vanguard is a strong believer in the value of advice, it's also positive to see that more advisers across the globe are confident about increasing their advised assets."
According to the survey, 83 per cent of Australian advisers said they expected the amount of advised assets to increase, while 68 per cent expected their number of clients to increase. By comparison, 77 per cent of Hong Kong advisers expected to grow their number of clients, while 92 per cent of both UK and US advisers expected to grow their amount of advised assets.
In aggregate, Australian advisers said 31 per cent of their book of business would comprise of new clients in the coming year, compared to 21 per cent in Canada, 26 per cent in the US and the UK and 37 per cent in Hong Kong.
"There's no question that attracting new clients in an already competitive environment is a tough task, not just in Australia, but globally. We hear from advisers that there are concerns about having to spend more time serving their existing client base as they age, as well as the perceived threat of emerging advice models and technology," Mr Willis said.
"Although technology is boosting competition in the advice sector, we see it as also being a great benefit for existing advisers. Where technology can streamline client administration and asset allocation, advisers are able to spend more time attracting new clients and providing the 'human face' that will continue to be an essential part of high-quality financial advice."

Inside The Mind of – Olesya Kurulyuk, Graphic Designer
Emily Van Torre February 21, 2013 design, featured
We've always wondered about the mental process for a graphic designer.
This posts from Olesya Kurulyuk, a graphic designer from Olso, Norway shows us how she developed this self promotion "kit" if you will, meant to encompass her identity – quite arguably a very challenging task!
Alas, she explains her process:
As a designer I tend to start with an idea and create my designs the way a builder builds a wall – brick by brick.As a person I aim to reach higher (step by step) and I am eager to learn something new every day.As a foreigner I have a name that is unusual and can be hard to remember. I want to show that unusual is also unique, and that being a bit different lets you see things others don't. The result is a logotype focusing on my name with an element (the underline) that represents both a brick and a stair.I chose a "less is more" approach for my identity that conveys style and quality. It is meant to visually complement my portfolio designs instead of visually competing with them. I therefor carefully chose paper stock and used subtle color throughout the design.

The Alpha
(Heavy Duty Full Metal Jacket) system is a complete 6-80 meter 500 watt OCF (off-center fed) type HF antenna that is pre-tuned and requires no moving clips on coils or readjusting of whips for tuning. You may also use an external antenna tuner if your antenna is installed over a poor ground or not placed in a clear area.
When fully deployed with the NVIS, Vertical & Grounded Counterpoise elements, the balance of this OCF type Alpha 'FMJ' antenna system can be configured to launch your signal at your target in the opposite direction the NVIS element is run. For an omnidirectional signal pattern, you may remove the NVIS element.
Installation Note:
Never Remove or Loosen any of the Bolts, Washers, Nuts, or Caps on the Alpha Match.

INCLUDED 'HD-FMJ' (Heavy Duty Full Metal Jacket) Tripod
Also consider adding the optional 3 Point HD-Tripod Brace:
Analysis of the Alpha HD-FMJ antenna when on the tripod
3D Model of the Alpha Antenna® HD-FMJ system
Gain and Elevation/Azimuth patterns
Although the Alpha FMJ Antenna has directionality, it does not have more gain than a resonant vertical that in and of itself would have no more than -1.1 dBd of gain.
No changing of switches, jumpers or coils are required for touch free operations.
No Guying: The HD-FMJ Tripod wraps around and protects the antenna system when stored. This tripod has built in talons at the base of each leg that can be pressed into the ground with a built-in heel step at the base of each tripod leg. This enables the tripod to be used in most common environmental conditions without guy wires.
Directional; Unique also to this line of systems is a directional antenna system for international DX communications that also enhances NVIS (Near Vertical Incident Skywave) for stateside communications.
The Alpha Match: Before assembly, the inner wall of the stainless steel housing is lined with a dielectric, then the transformer is placed inside the housing. This is what gives the Alpha Match both the capacitive and inductive balance once the elements are installed. The main difference between legacy designs, which are black and made of either a plastic Delrin or PVC, is that those older designs do not have capacitive characteristics. This is what enables the Alpha Match to balance the entire antenna system once the elements are installed. It is important to note that the Alpha Match housing is made of 316 stainless steel, which has non-magnetic characteristics to eliminate eddy currents.
The MilStick Whip; The composite of the .433 inch diameter MilStick whip is a high strength, high quality, aerospace 7075-T9 alloy 13 feet long. The construction of each element has a scratch-resistant hard-anodized surface. This surface is fully removed from each insert and also removed 2.5 inches inside each element. The inserts are then electrically bonded, where full contact RF continuity and connectivity is used to ensure maximum efficiencies are achieved. At the base of the whip an embedded 8740 Steel (chrome moly) cadmium plated stud supports the MilStick on the Alpha Match.
The Wiring Used; Sheathed memory free wiring is used, which is rated for temperatures from -40°C to +75°C. VS. Wiring that is so light duty that it can be wrapped around a kite string holder.
The Padded Field Bag; Made from 600D nylon with embroidered logo and with high quality zippers. This highly customized bag has a padded front pocket and a padded larger inner compartment, plus a shoulder strap with padded shoulder pad.

We are dedicated to improving all of our antennas, and because this is such a giant leap forward in technology, there is no upgrade path from previous versions in the case of this system. Specifications and descriptions are subject to change without notice. US Flag offered for a limited time.

Won't you please welcome to the stage — my friend and yours, John Gruber!
John GruberHello, and welcome to the Talk Show Live from WWDC 2017! Good show, I think! [laughs] We have a beautiful theater, I know.
So something to get out of the way, right out of the front: This show would not have possibly happened without our sponsors. We have three perfect sponsors for this show. Our first sponsor is JAMF: J-A-M-F. Jamf specializes in Apple Device Management: If you have multiple devices in a small company, and you need them, the MDM-management type stuff — go to them, they support Apple stuff, they're Apple-only — they support Apple stuff before it's out! They're probably already working on the betas for iOS 11. It's absolutely great.
Go to jamf.com/talkshow, and you will find out more.
Our second sponsor, another great sponsor, perfect for this audience is MacStadium. It is time to get your build server out of your office closet, or out from under your desk and put it in the hands of some professionals. Get a real build server. You can't just go and get some no-name Linux server and have Xcode running on it — you need a Mac! Go to them, MacStadium knows how to professionally host macOS X Server in a great colocation environment. All of their cloud accounts start with a 30-day free trial that is production-ready, so when your 30-day free trial is over and you're like "I wanna pay, I want to go with this," you just roll right over and you're already done.
Visit macstadium.com/df for more information.
You guys dying? You probably wanna know who's the guest? So I'll just tell you that, and then I'll do another sponsor?
Our third sponsor — great sponsor — are there any developers here in the audience?
[Voice: No. Laughs]
Our third sponsor is Setapp. Setapp, if you haven't heard about it, is a new subscription service for indie Mac apps. You pay $9.99/month as a user, and you get access — they have over 70 apps in the service — think of it as like, Netflix for apps. It is quite a deal, and they've got a ton of great apps in there. It's brought to you by MacPaw, a long-time independent Mac developer, the makers of CleanMyMac, Gemini, and a bunch of other stuff. So they know the indie Mac market. They are tried and true indie Mac developers; it's a great service; if you're a user — with is probably more people than developers — go there and check it out. And if you're a developer, certainly go there and look at it and see if it makes sense for your app to be part of their service.
Go to Setapp.com, and you can find out more.
And last but not least, and one of the great traditions of this show is I think every single time I've done it — I don't know, I've lost count, I think it's like the sixth one, maybe seventh, but I think every single time we've had an open bar, and that open bar has been sponsored by the same company — the great people at Mailchimp.
[Loud cheers.]
So if you've enjoyed a few beverages before the show, you can thank Mailchimp for that. I thank them. It's a great company. If you have email marketing needs, go check out Mailchimp. It's terrific. And I thank them for sponsoring the open bar here, because I certainly wasn't gonna pick up the bill. [chuckles] I know how some of you drink.
[Loud random noise over the speaker.]
I don't know what that was. We'll get past it.
So yesterday, when I was at the — there's one last group of people I wanna thank, and that's you. All of you. Those of you in this room, those of you listening at home. Yesterday, during the press event — there's all sorts of stuff back stage, and you have briefings, and there's schedules, and there's people and the press and you have to sit around all day.
While you guys are in the State of the Union, people like me are sitting around talking. And I got to talking with Walt Mossberg.
And it was a great talk, it always is. He's exactly like what you think he's like in person — he's full of [laughs] very strong opinions.
But he was talking about what we do, and I was telling him how what I loved about him was that he was a columnist, and that to me, there was something in my head about that style of writing that's writing a column, and that's what I always wanted to do with Daring Fireball, and he was very complimentary. He said "Yeah, I can see that, and I think you do a great job." But then he said "You know what I've really enjoyed these last few years? I've really enjoyed podcasting." And I said, "You know, I have too, but from when I was a senior in high school until I actually got Daring Fireball as a job off the ground, I've thought I want to be a columnist, I wanted to be a writer, and I wanna write, y'know, something like this." I never in a million years thought that I would be, like, a broadcaster as something that I should put on my tax return.
But there's no question that the podcast is half my job. And I enjoy it, and it's totally unexpected, and for some reason I love everybody who reads Daring Fireball — if you read it and you don't really listen to the show, that's fine. But for some reason, I feel like I have more of a connection with the people who listen to show. Like bumping into people on the sidewalk here in San Jose — and if you do see me anytime this week, please say hello.
But the people who say "I love your show" seem more connected, personally, than the people who say "I love Daring Fireball." I love both of them, and it's all complementary, but I just thank all of you for being here. I really cannot believe that I'm here in this theater for this show.
[huge applause]
I also feel like maybe listeners of the show have more of a sense of my actual personality? Like, maybe my writing kind of conceals it, and it's a little bit more formal. But if you do know me at all, you know that I… when I find something I like, I like to keep going with it.
And so, if you liked last year's show, I think you'll like…
[gigantic applause]
I think you're going to like this year's show, too. Let me introduce Phil Schiller and Craig Federighi!
[the house roars, whistles, etc]
Craig FederighiNice little place you have here.
[John laughs]
John GruberSo, Craig, did you think my intro went on too long? Is that why you ran?
Craig Federighi(It's gonna happen.)
Phil SchillerAlright, big secret thing here: So whenever we do keynotes, Craig always bolts on-stage. He's always full of energy and he runs out there. And it's really impressive, right? Because he just — it just kicks things off, just like that.
And the rest of us… y'know, don't.
And in rehearsing for this keynote, someone — who will remain nameless — said "It's so great when Craig does that! We should all run on stage!"
And I said "No! Because I'll trip, and fall, and be an idiot, and then I'll regret it." So it's his thing, and it's Craig's thing, and it's impressive, so.
Craig FederighiWell, thank you, Phil.
John GruberAlright. I don't know about you guys, but I thought yesterday's keynote was longer than most podcasts.
Phil SchillerProbably about the same. But we covered more stuff.
John GruberYou covered a lot of stuff, which is going to make tonight very difficult.
Phil SchillerYeah. [laughs]
John GruberIt also seemed as though there was… there could have bene more. What was like the first draft of the keynote?
Phil Schiller[deadpan] Three and a half hours.
Craig FederighiIt's true.
Phil SchillerSo we had to cut. Y'know, in a perfect world we would have liked to get it to two hours; it's a goal. But it's kind of hard to hold your bladder for some people for more than two hours. But that's as close as we got. We got — y'know, we got close, but not there, and we cut a lot. And we kind of ran out of — we just didn't want to cut any of this stuff!
John GruberMm. I thought — running through some of the stuff from the keynote. I want to talk about the Mac first.
Because — not just — yesterday was a very strong day for the Mac on software, on laptop hardware, on desktop hardware, but in the recent months with, y'know, the discussions we've had and your announcements about the Mac Pro, I feel like the Mac — not that it's in a different place, but it's certainly in a different place, perception-wise, than it was a year ago. I thought that, let's just go with this right off the bat: I thought that the Mac stuff alone, yesterday, would have made a pretty good Macworld Expo keynote back in the day.
Craig FederighiWe used to find a way to stretch things out.
Phil SchillerI don't know about Macworld, but at least an Apple Expo Paris, or Japan… [laughs]
John GruberSo starting with macOS — Craig, when you introduced macOS High Sierra…
Craig Federighi[dryly] Uh-huh.
Craig FederighiWhere are you going with this?
John GruberI was seated in the press area with friend of the show — sometimes guest of the show — Serenity Caldwell was right next to me, and you were thirty seconds into it after the name, and she says to me, "I can't believe it, I don't think he's going to make a high joke!" [Ed. note: The actual exchange.]
Phil Schiller[laughs] She doesn't know Craig that well.
John Gruber[on the verge of laughter] As soon as she said that to me… you made the joke.
Craig Federighi[quietly] It's a tradition.
John GruberI was very happy about this announcement, because, if people listen to the show, my hope for the Mac is, look: The Mac has all the major tentpole-style features that it needs. I think what it just needs is sort of refinement. And is that — that's what the name High Sierra sort of sets the bar for?
Craig FederighiIt's a proud — it could have been Snow Sierra, or something…
We've done that. There's a proud tradition of Mac releases — that, I think, some of our most loved releases sometimes, are when we take a year to refine and perfect, and we wanted to do it again.
John GruberMountain Sierra wouldn't have worked.
Craig Federighi[laughs] That's the the thing: Snow Sierra, Mountain Sierra, where do we go with this… Our crack marketing team.
[huge laughter]
Phil SchillerAugh.
[laughter and clapping]
Phil SchillerFirst of all, I don't appreciate it when you use the crack word and point to me.
[more laughter]
And second of all, it is a sad state when you're naming products, and you're more afraid of what your head of engineering is going to say about it than all the press and all the customers…
But… truth be told.
[Craig holding back laughter]
John GruberNow, it's one of those things — and it happened repeatedly through the keynote, and this is how you can tell that it was a jam-packed keynote. One of the things you guys do in a keynote is, when you get to the end of a segment, and you still have 20 or 30 other things that are new about this subject, you'll put up, like, a catch-all slide.
And in the press area, people tend to take their phone out, or if they have the standalone camera, and then they'll point up and take a picture of that, and in their notes at the end they have these, go through all those catchup slides, see if there's anything in there.
And it went by so fast, where it kept happening — where people would be like "Oh, it's gone!"
But one of the little things you called out was a 35% improvement in the efficiency of storage of Mail…
Craig FederighiYep.
John Gruber… And that's the sort of thing that's like music to my ears about this, because to me, it's not that there's all these people out there whose MacBooks are stuffed to the limits of the drive with Mail, but that that's the sort of thing that only happens when you really go through the code, and do a refactor.
Craig FederighiYeah, well, and really, starting out this year, every team went and said to me, "What do we want to make faster?" And our Finder guys were like, "Hey, y'know… it should be a little faster to open a Finder window." And so they put some folks on that. Every demo, the Photos team, they would bring me the slowest Mac they could find, and show me how fast it was launching.
Y'know, it's like that. Here's a 100,000 [photo] Photo Library, let's see how fast it launches, right?
So, yeah. When you start seeing stats like that, it is a sign of everybody in engineering putting their focus and going deep in their area.
John GruberAnd you're saying like, this is the type of release where teams can say, "Here's what we would like to throw effort at to, because we're not happy with the performance of this part of the system; if you can give us the time and let us do it, we can really get that going."
Craig FederighiYeah, absolutely. I mean, certainly at Apple there's a real blend of saying, "Hey, we're coming out with a new machine, a new iMac Pro with really interesting architecture; we gotta, we all have to do our part to make that possible. Or you look at the iPad Pro, and what it took to do ProMotion, huge effort, so this —
[woos from the audience]
[smiling] So this, yeah. It's, it's awesome.
John GruberYou're skipping ahead! iPad…
Craig FederighiSorry, sorry man!
But so, there's definitely a fair amount where we have goals as a company and as a release, where we ask all teams to pull in, and what's so awesome about Apple is that the teams will all rally to the cause. But at the same time, this release, we said, listen: Here's 50% of the time off the top — tell us how you just want to make your stuff better. And the teams took to it, uh… it's great to have great people.
John GruberSafari got a pretty good chunk of that.
Craig FederighiYeah.
John GruberAnd it seemed like… you — just flat out said, y'know, "Safari is faster than Chrome."
Craig FederighiYou helped prompt me to do that!
John GruberYeah?
Craig FederighiYeah! Yeah. It was a few weeks ago that you wrote something about Safari, and you were — you complimented Safari in one regard, and then you said "Yeah, and it's okay that Safari's not the fastest," and I'm like, "WHAT?!"
[big laughter]
And I realized, when every time one opens their browser and goes to a particular search engine, that there's an ad that says "Get a faster browser"…
John GruberRight.
Craig Federighi… That eventually, it seeps in, and people stop —
Phil Schiller[into the mic] MARKETING.
Craig FederighiMarketing, where that's coming from. And…
And so we thought we'd bring some knowledge! And it's all true, man. I mean, that team is unbelievably obsessive about performance. They're absolutely the best in the industry. The Safari team rules, the WebKit team, the combination of them, they build the fastest browser on the planet, and honestly, I'm getting sick of people not giving them their due!
[large cheers and applause]
Phil SchillerBeware a pissed off engineer.
John GruberAnd I thought that the Safari news yesterday hit on the major themes that Apple has been — I mean, performance is obviously something you guys always care about, so there's that, we just covered that — but then the other angle is the privacy angle, right?
And so, there's a new intelligent tracking prevention. And you talked about it…
Phil SchillerYeah.
John Gruber… But can you nerd out on us a little more on what's intelligent about it?
Craig FederighiYeah. You know, actually, years ago, Safari was the first browser to have these mechanisms to try and prevent cross-site tracking. And there became a point where the tracking industry — the tracking industrial complex is pretty inventive!
And they came up with some pretty wild mechanisms. I mean, for awhile, it was "How do we use storage in Flash," how do we use any API you can imagine to try to maintain a tracking cookie effectively across everywhere you go on the web. And the Safari team has been really drawing deep to try and solve this problem.
And we figured out that through a combination of, essentially, double-keying the cookie, saying if you pulled a resource, and you were on — I don't want to pick a particular publication — you were on publication A, and it included some Javascript to try and to pull content from this tracker. Instead of allowing that to be a key by the tracker's domain, which would be the same domain when you'd pull that tracker from another site, we'd segregate it. We'd say "Oh, well this tracker's going to see a different cookie when you're on Site A than when you're on Site B, than when you're on Site C. We took to siloing that.
But these guys are even more insidious than that. And so we had to actually use some local machine learning to figure out which are trackers, to partition their data, to delete their data. But all of this is really just to me, I think what is many reasonable people's expectation, right, that's when I'm on this site, I know I'm seeing their ads, I don't expect that there's any record, anywhere else, about what I was looking at.
And we think that's the way the web should be. And the Safari team had to work incredibly hard on that, so.
[huge applause]
[More coming as the show progresses!]
[huge applause]
John GruberI use the word "creepy" a lot talking about the track, and I do think it's creepy. And I feel like, somehow, because it's online, and on a screen, and it's computerized, and nobody really knows what happens, that people aren't creeped out in the way that they would be in the real world.
Like, if I go to Macy's, and I'm looking at jeans, and I decide, "Eh, I'm not going to buy any jeans." And then I go into another store, and somebody comes up to me and says, "Would you like some jeans?"
Craig FederighiRight.
John GruberThat's creepy! I'm immediately thinking, "How do you know this, what is going on here — let me see the jeans, though."
[loud laughter]
But I am creeped out! Y'know, and that's why it works, though, because maybe… y'know, obviously sometimes it works, but I do think it's a reasonable — there should be a reasonable expectation of privacy in that regard, and just putting your browser in Private mode isn't a great solution to that, because then you lose all sorts of helpful user features that are based on, "Hey, we're remembering stuff!"
Craig FederighiYeah. And that was actually the hardest part about it. It's easy to do if you're willing to completely break the web.
John GruberRight.
[chuckling from the audience]
Craig FederighiBut what's the point of that. But the kind of thing that — it's not just, y'know, I go here and look at the jeans, I mean, it's you go here and they say "Hey, we noticed that your car — the lease on your car is nearly up." I mean, they don't say that, but they know that, right? They're like "We know you own —" I don't know what you own, if you own a car, but — do you own a car?
John GruberI was going to buy the Apple Car.
[lots of laughter]
Craig FederighiOkay.
[huge applause]
Well, we're going to have to work on that, then. If, uh…
[more laughter]
They know, they know, they're correlating, "Hey, we know you what you bought at the grocery store, and we know this," and they tie it together, and it's like… yeah, it's creepy.
John GruberYeah, well, it's great that Safari is working on it. And then, the other one too, and it got huge — I never know what you guys can tell, I mean here, we get pretty good audience feedback, but...
Craig Federighi[laughs] It's very different.
John Gruber… But the auto-block feature got a huge applause, and it's because people — so many people use their MacBooks all over the place, y'know, whether it's work, or a library, or something. And when all of a sudden you click a link, somebody's like, "check this out," and you get all this sound — it's embarrassing!
Craig FederighiIt is a great way to tell who's not paying attention in a meeting.
I kid you not — literally while we were reviewing this feature, slides for this feature in one of our rehearsals, and somebody's browser goes off playing an ad…
And this is someone who shall not be named who was not yet running the beta, and it was… it was a perfect proof point.
John GruberI'm gonna, I'm going to make a bet. I'm going to bet it was [SVP] Eddy [Cue].
[laughter, groans]
Craig FederighiEddy is… Eddy is one of our best beta testers.
[huge laughter]
He's already on the beta. Eddy is aggressive…
Phil SchillerOh yeah. He's usually the first on every beta.
Craig FederighiNo, in fact in most of our executive team meetings, Eddy is updating two or more devices…
Phil SchillerWhile — DURING the meeting…
Craig Federighi… On the board room table.
Phil SchillerHe's got his cables spread out, downloading the morning's update.
John GruberAlright.
Craig FederighiIt's true!
John GruberIs there anything in macOS High Sierra that either didn't get time on stage or didn't get enough review that you'd like to talk about?
Craig FederighiOh boy. Yeah, y'know, I, on the way over here I was tapping out Notes to myself on all the things I was going to forget to say when I got here…
[Gruber laughs]
… And I feel like I'm not going to pull my phone out right now and look at that list…
John GruberOh, that's alright. What about the Face syncing across devices? That's something that we talked about here last year…
Craig FederighiYep.
John GruberAnd it was per-device. And so, you'd get a new device — and even throughout the year, it played into when the new MacBook Pros came out last fall, and some people were saying "Yeah, my battery life isn't that great" and you guys looked into it, and part of it is the first-run experience, and it's redoing Spotlight indexes and this stuff — clearly you guys were, it wasn't there last year simply because it wasn't done.
Craig FederighiYep.
John GruberIt wasn't like you didn't have it on the…
Craig FederighiNo, we've been working on it. And it's actually something that's harder to get right right, because when you go through the process of classifying your photos, we offer up and we say "Hey, is this John?" And y'know, "Is this John?" And you say "Yes, yes."
But when you say yes to one face, we're actually saying "Okay, well, there are a thousand other photos we saw that we think are the same person as this, so we're going to count those all as John — but all you really told us is about that one photo. And so what we actually sync, and support, and so that we get this right — we sync only the specific photos you told us about, and then each… 'cos that's really the truth, y'know, that's what the user really told us.
And then we sync that information, and then each device, because they're independently doing photo recognition are talking that, and re-deriving the — coming to the final result on all your machines to synchronize. So synchronize is actually very little data, and it's all just the truth data, and we won't hold back the right solution.
But getting that architecture completely right was a — took a little longer than we would have liked, and so we're super excited to have it done now.

Another week has come and gone as we approach the end of the month of November. The sales floor is looking well-stocked and very well organized as the upcoming Holiday season is about to begin.
Take your pick in the Foamposite / Nike basketball section.
We have been preparing all year for this Holiday season and we hope everyone will be able to find every shoe they are looking for whether it be for you OR as a gift for someone else.
Be sure to stop by and get some of these Little Tokyo stickers before they are all GONE.
In case you didn't know, RIF DOS is the new home to ALL of our Vans shoes on consignment, so be sure to stop by and check out the shop. This year, we are proud not only to announce the RIF 7 year anniversary, but it is also RIF DOS's 1 year anniversary on Black Friday.
The glass case at RIF DOS is always the home of plenty of rare and sought after Supreme Tees.
We currently have limited sizes available in the RIF L/S Jersey, so be sure to stay up on our Instagram as we will be announcing a restock of these as well as the release of more pieces for our F/W '13 collection.
Cris is always seen sporting the Jersey at work.
Something that we don't see everyday on 2nd street is a man dressed in a Tiger costume, so I had to see what they were talking about.
Green Peace, this group of 3 individuals was roaming the streets to increase awareness about deforestation and the negative affects it has on Bengal Tigers.
Meanwhile, Manny was holding down the shoe store and making sure everything was running smoothly.

Franalations was rocking the What the LeBron 10's
Manwell was wearing his Flyknit Racers
Sneaker Galactus rocking the LeBron 7 "Cavs Fanatic"
Finally, take a look at a few of the newly released LeBron 11 colorways.
First up we have the Forging Iron
Overall, these shoes are very nicely assembled.
Are these the BEST LeBron 11 colorway so far?
Another recently released colorway is the LeBron 11 Gamma Blue.
LeBron 11 Miami Nights are another very nice colorway.
This LeBron 11 is my personal favorite so far.
Finally, here's a shot of another LeBron 11 set to release later this year.
Notice anything off about these DB 4's? Unfortunately, they are FAKE.
Some things to look for: The darkness of the arrows, the size of the superman logo, the stitching across the entire shoe, and the inner lining.
Take a look at these Black Cement 3's, again another shoe that can appear to be real but is actually a FAKE. Things to look for on this shoe include: The leather on the upper being inconsistent in the texture, the color of the red eyelets being too dark, the small perforations on the gray leather are too small, and the shape/feel of the tongue being too stiff.
Here's a look at the heel tabs.
Finally, a closer look at the tag on the tongue of the shoe, notice the red outline around the tag.
Stay tuned until next time, have a blessed weekend.
