B-Licious for MTHFR
- Brand: Spectrum Awakening
- Availability: In Stock
Our NEW reformulated B-Licious for MTHFR tastes better and is 400% times the size of the old bottle! That's a savings of 40% per serving! Spectrum Awakening is constantly providing you the best quality products at the most affordable price.
B vitamins are incredibly important for healthy brain function. Mostly because brain chemicals, such as serotonin, melatonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine need activated folate and Vitamin B12 to be produced.
The form of folate and Vitamin B12 we get in our foods and typical multivitamins is not in its bioactive form. The body needs to activate these vitamins through a process called methylation. Unfortunately, 50% of the population has MTHFR genetics that is not optimal for this process. That causes changes in brain chemical levels, change in mood, and a change in development.
Luckily, the answer is easy! Our B-Licious for MTHFR is a great tasting cherry chewable tablet that provides bioactive folate (in the form 5-MTHF or methylfolate) and bioactive Vitamin B12 (in the form of Methyl-Cobalamin).
Support normal brain chemical levels, healthy development, language, and mood with something that's B-Licious!
This great-tasting chewable supports healthy Methylation, as well as normal serotonin and dopamine levels. Better brain maintains normal speech and behavior. The MTHFR enzyme converts folate (or folic acid) into Methylfolate. This form is a more bioactive and preferred form of folate, which is necessary for healthy cell growth and brain functioning. Methylfolate is especially necessary for the production of brain chemicals, such as serotonin and dopamine. Deficiencies in these have been associated with problems with language, mood, and sleep. Support your child's normal brain functioning and development by nourishing their natural serotonin and dopamine production with the best and most active B vitamins in B-Licious for MTHFR.
Here are some research studies on MTHFR and children.
Recommended Dosing:
Try 1-2 chewable tablets in the morning,
This product pairs well with our Super Serotonin Support and Attention on the Double.
As with all of our products, B-Licious for MTHFR is Gluten/Dairy-Free.

Shakshuka Recipe
Series: Installment 20
This is part of theBreakfast with Miriam series.
14 in 14 Niche Challenge
Day 14, hub 14....pulling out in the nth hour!
The Ultimate Comfort Food.
For those of you who have been following me, you already know that I am big into the comfort foods. This is a meal that satisfies the cravings for a "real" meal and offers great comfort, as well! Another great thing about this recipe is that you almost always have the ingredients at home and is a great last minute meal. So without further ado, I present Shakshuka (shock shuk ah)
Cook Time
- 1 can diced tomatoes, or real iof you have the time
- 4 eggs
- 1 onion
- 1 sweet green pepper, and/or hot pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 handful cilantro
- heat the oil in the pan.
- chop the onion and pepper and saute them in the pan
- when the onions are transparent, add the tomatoes and seasoning.
- When the sauce is bubbling, crack the eggs and let them start to cook
- when the underside of the eggs are white and cooked, cover the pan, lower the heat and let it simmer until the eggs are over easy.

How to Serve Shakshouka
Serve this with some warm french bread or any bread you desire, a salad or two and you have the perfect meal. I like to call this one my "go to" meal. There are many variatons to this that you can make by switching the vegetables and degree of spiciness. Potatoes are another vegetable that is often added. They give Shakshuka a heartiness that truly qualifies it as a "One-Pot Meal." I particularly enjoy one particular variation where I swtch the green peppers for sweet peas. It is best to use frozen or fresh as the canned ones get too soft. Feel free to experiment on your own and please share those ideas here!
Finding Your Niche
I have enjoyed presenting these much loved recipes from Miriam's kitchen and I am so happy that I broke away from my typical writing (at least a little) What I have learned is that I am capable of change! The part about this series that I enjoyed the most was telling you all about the way of life I adopted while living in Israel. I enjoyed feeding you facts about Miriam and the part of her life I had the honor to share, while "feeding" you, virtually, with her delicious recipes! Thank you for sharing in this with me!

This does sound like a great go-to meal. I also enjoy comfort foods and usually have these ingredients around the house. I look forward to trying it and checking out more of your recipes.
I clicked on this hub because I love anything in a cast iron skillet. My kids love eggs, and I think this will go over well with them. Looks healthy too! Thanks
Oh thank you. I am vegan but fall off the wagon once or twice a year and go to the vegetarian side. Next time, I shall make this egg dish. Yum
Wow, Randi - you DID it, girl! Congratulations on your commitment to the series AND to the high quality of each and every entry!
Mmmmm....i want Israeli skillet for brekky....
You ought to be proud, dear..
I'm proud of you!
(I really think we need a 'Delicious' button!)
This sounds really good and as you promised comfort food. I am a bit confused though. In the ingredient list you have:

Aww... what an ending. It kind of overpowers the recipe, So charming and I thank you very much for it.
One of my favorite sayings, although it's a bit more slang the way I learned it..."if it ain't broke don't fix it." Many of the "old ways" are still the best ways. Loved this series; well done Randi!

Florida Keys
Florida Keys man shoots at cops in wild chase; deputy grazed
A Key Largo man savagely beat his wife and then led two Monroe County sheriff's deputies and a Florida Highway Patrol trooper on a wild police chase early Wednesday morning, firing at them several times and grazing one of the deputies, according to authorities.
The drama began when Keys deputies responded to a domestic dispute involving a firearm just before midnight at 52 Buttonwood Drive in Key Largo.
When deputies arrived, they could hear a woman crying for help and found Robert Schminky, 57, in the front yard of his home.
With a .semi-automatic shotgun pointed at the ground, Schminky walked away from the deputies and fired it into the ground twice, according to the sheriff's office. Deputies told him to drop the gun. He then got into his white Lexus SUV and drove off.
Deputies chased Schminky as he drove his car first north on U.S. 1 and then onto County Road 905 before suddenly making a U-turn at Valois Boulevard. As he passed the patrol car going the opposite way, Schminky shot at the deputy, who then returned fire, sheriff's spokeswoman Becky Herrin said.
Schminky continued south on U.S. 1 before pulling into the parking lot of a Circle K convenience store at mile marker 106, where he rammed a parked FHP trooper's car. He then fired several shots into the trooper's car, Herrin said.
The deputy in pursuit then got out of his car, took cover and engaged Schminky.
"He heard a gunshot and felt pain in his upper right leg," Herrin said.
In the standoff, a bullet grazed the deputy on his upper right leg. The FHP trooper suffered a minor arm injury from the collision.
Schminky was not done yet.
Herrin said he pulled out of the parking lot, drove south and eventually stopped at Saint Justin Church at mile marker 105.
Schminky then pointed his gun at another deputy, who fired several shots at him, Herrin said. He then ran away into a nearby wooded area, with deputies chasing him. Along the way, he dropped his gun. He was arrested when deputies caught up with him.
Schminky's wife, Honour, was found covered in blood in the front yard of their home. She had been beaten with the stock of the shotgun so severely that it broke her arm, her wrist and some ribs, as well as the shotgun, Herrin said. She also suffered a head injury and other internal injuries. Honour later told detectives she believes that her husband would have killed her if authorities had not arrived when they did.
Investigators found a Smith and Wesson .44 magnum revolver with six fired shell casings and six fired shell casings in Schminky's car.
He was taken to Plantation Key jail and later transferred to Key West jail, where he is being held.
Schminky was charged with attempting to murder his wife, three counts of attempting to murder law enforcement officers, aggravated battery on a law enforcement officer, aggravated assault on a law enforcement officer, discharging a firearm in public and fleeing and eluding a law enforcement officer.

The challenges of federalism to Canada's international trade relations: The Canada-European Union Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement
As one of the first "second-generation" free trade agreements that address indirect and non-tariff barriers, the Canada-European Union Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) is likely to serve as an international model. CETA, however, highlights significant challenges for Canadian federalism in both the negotiation and implementation processes of this and any such future trade agreements. While the inclusion of sub-federal governments allows for provinces/territories to help shape the provisions that fall within their jurisdictions, this paper argues that subsequent challenges arise in conveying a unified Canadian commitment to implement the agreement. Overall, the CETA negotiations demonstrated the significant institutional weaknesses of current federal-provincial/territorial relations with respect to international trade agreements. In the Canadian context, this suggests a need for "summit federalism" to ensure that all federal-provincial/territorial governments align their terms and interests and convey a unified commitment to fulfilling Canada's current and future international trade agreements.

This morning I welcomed little Lacie into my Cheltenham photography studio for a vintage themed photo shoot! Her Mum, Charlotte, has a passion for all things retro and had some cutesy outfits for Lacie to wear. The majority of my props are vintage and retro anyway but I had fun rummaging through my children's room, (which is like a cavern of treasures!) to find a few extra gems!
Lacie had lots of fun and she christened a few of my new props that I'd only just picked up from a flee market at the weekend! The bright, colourful rocking horse and little red trike were both hits! She also loved sitting on the little wagon and playing with her shoes!
I hope you like the photos. If you would like to book a studio shoot then I'd love to hear from you. All sessions are carried out in a relaxed and informal way. There's no pressure on your little ones to perform in front of the camera, it's more about letting them lead and seeing what works. The results are often far better than trying to get them to carry out specific tasks. It's all about play and having fun!

By Tripp Mickle and Asa Fitch
Through more than two years of takeover threats and legal strife, Qualcomm Inc. trained its focus on the future promises of 5G. That fixation is paying off so far.
The chip maker's lead in fifth-generation wireless technology persuaded the Trump administration last year to block a hostile bid by Broadcom Inc. out of national-security concerns. It helped muscle Apple Inc. to the table to settle a patent-royalty dispute on Tuesday and it contributed to Intel Corp.'s decision to discontinue developing rival 5G modem chips for smartphones.
The success of Qualcomm's strategy -- accelerate spending on 5G while staring down existential threats -- has catapulted the company's stock up 38% since Monday's close to $79.08, hitting highs not seen since 2014.
"They positioned their company to execute on this specific opportunity," said Charles Lemonides, portfolio manager of ValueWorks LLC, which has roughly 5% of its holdings in Qualcomm. "It's not like they hedged their bets. They were all about this technology roadmap."
While the Apple deal removes a major overhang, it doesn't clear away all of Qualcomm's challenges.
Qualcomm moves from fending for its life to needing to fulfill sizable new chip supply for a demanding tech giant. The 5G chip Qualcomm released in 2019 was designed to work alongside its own processor with 4G LTE functionality. For Apple, it will need to deliver a standalone modem chip with 5G capabilities that can work with the iPhone's custom processors.
And Qualcomm isn't out of the legal woods yet, either. It still faces an antitrust challenge from the U.S. Federal Trade Commission that could upend its patent-royalty business, which had accounted for half of its profit before its legal tussle with Apple erupted. A ruling from a federal judge in that case, which wrapped up in late January, could come any minute.
It also needs to finish development of its first processor with built-in 5G capabilities, a product it demonstrated at Mobile World Congress that will be crucial to helping the company maintain its leading position as a provider of smartphone chips world-wide.
"5G is in it infancy," said Patrick Moorhead, president of the technology firm Moor Insights & Strategy. "To make it go mainstream, Qualcomm has to deliver these chips on time and at quality."
A Qualcomm spokesman declined to comment on those challenges.
5G promises to supercharge smartphones and unlock the power of connected devices, homes and cars by transferring data at faster speeds. Qualcomm envisions a future where everything will be connected -- manufacturers can put chips in every part of their machines, farmers can put internet-connected sensors on livestock -- all powered by its chips.
Qualcomm's emphasis on 5G had its share of doubters. Some analysts said Apple didn't need Qualcomm's chips. Other analysts said it would be years before 5G would be widespread enough to save Qualcomm from the threats it faced.
Chief Executive Steve Mollenkopf ignored critics and added more than $500 million in spending on 5G, racing to keep pace with an industry pushing to bring the wireless technology to market in 2019, a year faster than expected. He faced withering criticism. In its takeover pitch, Broadcom said Qualcomm failed to earn money on 4G. "Why will 5G be any different?" it asked.
Qualcomm used 5G to lobby the Trump administration to reject Broadcom's more than $100 billion offer for its business a year ago. In December, it demonstrated the speed and potential of its first 5G modem chips inside Samsung Electronics Co. smartphones at a Qualcomm event in Hawaii.
The exhibitions made clear that Qualcomm was leading the pack in 5G, and ultimately might have prompted Intel to exit the business, said Srini Pajjuri, an analyst at Macquarie Group.
"Qualcomm had a better technology and a better modem, and their roadmap is much better for 5G," Mr. Pajjuri said.
An Intel spokesman declined to comment.
Without Qualcomm, Apple might have struggled to get 5G chips into the iPhones it launches late next year, analysts say. With the legal settlement behind the companies, however, Apple's roadmap to 5G becomes clearer.
Jeff Helfrich, a portfolio manager at Dallas-based Penn Davis McFarland Inc., said the Apple deal returned Qualcomm to a status quo of dominance in the mobile-chip industry, but it didn't solve the problem of a cooling global smartphone market or erase the challenge of diversifying into new business areas.
"The wireless market has been their go-to market for years," he said. "They tried to branch out into displays and other markets, and none of it really stuck. They have a great business and great franchise, but the question is, 'What's next?' "

If you asked anyone knowledgeable how many people currently inhabit our planet, they would easily approximate a figure of around 7.4 billion people. If you went ahead and asked those very same experts why these 7.4 billion people inhabit this planet… you would probably get an overwhelmed chuckle. Answering the question of why we're here, why we exist, can spawn an endless stream of theories and conjecture. Truth be told, the answer isn't necessarily all that complicated. Out of everything humanity could possibly strive for, when all is said and done, we exist to do achieve one prime ideal – that is, to love.
There isn't a person on this planet who can live without love. No doubt we can certainly function without it. We can exist without love. But a lifetime spent without sharing and receiving love is the hollowest reality a person can endure. Love enriches our relationships. It inspires kindness and compassion. It compels us to think beyond our individual interests and commune with one another as a society. A world without love wouldn't just translate into conflict, it would be a world devoid of the aspiration and progress that makes life worth living.
Simply defined, love is a feeling of fondness and affection which generates endearment, attachment and intimacy. In daily practice, our instinctive characterization of love tends to be narrow. Mention the word love and people likely conjure up images of relationships with family, spouses or romantic partners. However, love as an emotion reaches farther, and is more complex, than what we immediately assume. Ancient Greek philosophy classified love into four prominent forms:
Agape (Divine/Unconditional Love): This is a universal, transcendent type of love that is unselfish. It is love drawn from the soul and motivates spiritual connection. Agape love is distinct because of its unselfish nature. It encourages people to care for someone, or something, without expecting any reward.
Storge (Familial Love): This is a natural type of love that hinges on the relationship between parents and children. It is love drawn from the instinctual connection between people who share lineage. Familial love forms an extraordinary bond because of how interdependent family members usually are on one another.
Philia (Friendship): This is a social type of love that hinges on goodwill. It is love motivated by loyalty and mutual interests. Unlike other more intimate forms of love, friendship is founded on a meeting of the minds. Friends develop love for one another when their values and lifestyles correspond.
Eros (Romantic Love): This is a passionate type of love that is romantic in nature. Eros is motivated by physical attraction and sensual desire. Eros focuses on physical beauty and the general appeal of a person's personality.
In some way or another, love in all its forms is the force behind every good thing that humanity is capable of. Without agape love we would never know what it means to exercise faith. We would have no appetite for creativity or talent. No capacity to love just for the sake of loving. Without familial love we wouldn't know what it means to care about anyone unconditionally. We would only ever engage with each other for personal gain. Without friendship we wouldn't know what it means to have society. We would be confined to routines of loneliness and withdrawal. Without romance, there would be no sex or marriage. Families would never form, nor would humanity procreate.
Love feeds every dimension of our lives. Whether it's love for God, love for people, love for the work we do, love for our hobbies, love for the food we eat, love for the clothes we wear, and so on. Everyone needs – and deserves – the joy and sense of fulfillment that springs from love. If you are fortunate enough to experience love in all its forms without any limitations, learn to appreciate that privilege. If it is in your power to give love to others in any of its forms, don't hesitate. The more love we put out into the world as individuals, the more it radiates across society and encourages others to share it in kind.

Harlequin Mills & Boon, £3.30, ISBN 978-0-263-88595-8
Contemporary Romance, 2011
Fiona McArthur's Harry St Clair: Rogue or Doctor? has a simple story line. Midwife Bonnie McKenzie is taking some R&R in Bali when she bumps into Harry St Clair, a hot tourist with whom she has a passionate affair until she discovered that he is a doctor and overreacted at being "lied at". But since he's a doctor, she's not getting away from him anytime soon, especially when he ends up affiliated at the Australian outback medical facility that she ends up joining later in the story.
Oh boy, it seems like there is at least one problematic birth in every other chapter in this short book as Bonnie and Harry have to come to the rescue. Indeed, there are more delivery emergencies here than there are romantic moments. I wonder whether the author had too much fun doing her research and ended up getting too enthusiastic about sharing the medical procedural stuff with her readers. The non-stop drama is actually the only thing that keeps the story going, because the romance is actually weak.
Harry and Bonnie basically go around in circles in the entire story. Harry just keeps acting like an emo twatwaffle for so long that he starts coming off like a wimpy crybaby after a while. I know, it's hard to lose loved ones, feeling all helpless and guilty because he can't save them, but Harry just puts on that whiny sad whining act for so long that he becomes a tedious character to follow.
Bonnie is one of those rare heroines who would put their foot down when the heroes get really annoying, but in her case, she responds to Harry's nonsense by overreacting. She usually blows things out of proportion, and instead of telling Harry off, she'd just ditch him and flee the scene. Every single perceived infarction by Harry is Such a Horrible Thing, so much so that it's like Harry had personally violated her sensibilities, killed her dog, and stole her car in one swoop.
And it doesn't matter how many times or how far Bonnie flees the scene. The author keeps coming up with reasons as to why Bonnie will bump into Harry again down the road, therefore recycling the whole tedious circular drama between those two until the very end.
Ultimately, Harry St Clair: Rogue or Doctor? is such a tedious bore of a tale.

On the day of the nomination, he was sitting in the forefront of the old line.
Baba ji told him that after you have passed all your life, you have come now to get the nomination.
He said, Baba ji should not give me a nomination, then I should be free. Baba ji said for him, he will have to chant the hymn with the nomination … !!
He said that I can not sit now by surprise, my body does not allow it now … !!
Baba ji asked him for a chair at that time and now it is okay now, now it will be done …. !!
He said yes, now it is okay, so I will do it. Then Baba gave the nomination to all the attendees.
After returning to his house, he got involved in the bhajan simran.
Day one night, and within 10 days of Baba ji's mercy Mehar, the curtain opened inside him.
Now he was not of this world, he started speaking, talking inside.

And he was jumping happily, he was crazy. At night he took a bath and dressed in washed clothes and changed the clothes by talking to the people.
In the morning I have gone away, do not bathe me now, do me a ritual like this. The villagers thought that since it came with a nomination. It's like crazy things.
I do not know what has happened, he is sitting on the chair all night and does not sleep.
Even when he did not come out of the room till the end of the day, the house opened the door and his dead body was lying on the chair. And he was gone.

The whistle blower was said to have petition office of the President and attached the copy of the purported voucher, as same was given to ICPC for further investigation.

Dear Reading Friends, thanks for joining us for my author reflection today, "5 Effective Christian Concepts to Reach People" for Christ. Passing by people doesn't help them. And if we don't stop to visit with people–following God's lead—we'll never be able to contribute to their healing. A big lesson in my own life has been to allow God to interrupt my plans. As self-centered as I can be, boy, do I need to be interrupted! And when I move as He urges me toward a hurting soul, something supernatural happens. When we obey, we may just help bring someone to Christ through it all!
Striving to share God's love with others in a concise and intentional way has been a big part of my life the last few years. We may think that sharing Christ's gospel message directly is just for "Super Christians," or just for the pastors of our church, but that's not true. Did you read my past short story, "Someone to Share?" I made a number of specific points in that story that I'd like to review now. If you're looking for inspiration to be more natural and effective when it comes to sharing Christ with strangers, let's pray together that God will develop each of us into just that—an effective Christian for the hurting souls around us.
Five Effective Christian Concepts:
1. Being self-conscious will hold you back. It did me. I found the biggest hurdle at sharing the gospel was SELF. Pride loves to insert itself into our witnessing. Even as the Holy Spirit is prompting us to speak up, we are filled with fear. This is an area of our lives we must trust that we've died to. The concern for spiritually dead souls must be more important than our own fading glory in this world.
2. The heart is more important than the body. Like in the short story, we must look past the dangers our fleshly body may face, and speak plainly to the heart of the person in need. While witnessing, we may possibly be threatened or ridiculed, maybe even attacked. But what's the worst that could happen? God may welcome us into His presence sooner than we expected. We just need to focus on His will—sharing the promise of new life with those who are worn out from sin and loss.
3. Believers should work in tandem. I have a friend who is a builder, and an expert at linking house-building with spiritual principles. When I meet a needy person who needs someone with a similar mindset to talk to them about Christ, I take them to my builder friend. I know for certain my friend will speak straight to that man's heart, and he'll do it with care and intention. Though we need to be ready to share the gospel ourselves in our own way, having praying friends and dependable witnessing partners is one way we can share in the rewards of the kingdom. What a joy it is to know you were instrumental when another soul receives the gift of life!
4. Christians should anticipate God's interruptions. Sometimes when I'm out exercising, God prompts me to notice someone who's lonely or in need of help. My flesh tells me, "No, this is your time to be alone." But Christ in me whispers, "This is the moment you've been praying for—to be effective for Me. Go to that person. Talk about anything to find commonality, then show that person that I Am the answer!"
Jesus Himself was often interrupted. For example, He was on His way to heal someone, when the woman with the issue of blood interrupted His day. Jesus immediately stopped to respond to her, and taught us a lesson as well.
5. Pain is not mightier than God. Like concept number 2, sometimes we are so fearful of suffering, or leaving our place of comfort, we set God on the shelf as if He is a weak God. Most likely, if we share Christ in America, we won't be shot at, or even punched or slapped. But even if we are, or if it's a possibility, God will still use it. Everything that happens in the life of a Christian will lead to the good, remember? Trusting God isn't only for the good times. Living for Christ will become more difficult in these Last Days. But He is still trustworthy and the things that matter most (eternal souls) are firmly in the palm of His hand.
As I review these 5 effective concepts myself, it makes me want to step out this afternoon and see who God directs me to, what people I can reach for Him. How about you? Let me know if this was helpful. After all, we are witnessing partners, aren't we?
See you in the field!

Can Harley Davidson Continue Its Hog-Selling Spike?
One of America's legendary brands, Harley Davidson , continued its string of successes yesterday when it released its latest earnings to investors and analysts. The motorcycle maker, well recovered since its dark days years ago, found its latest sales push from the introduction of eight new models. Though definitively American, Harley is an increasingly popular bike beyond our shores, where a near-majority of its machines are sold. Of course, as with any company and stock that has achieved a long run of success, some investors are wondering whether Harley can keep revving higher. Let's take a closer look at recent earnings to determine if Harley is still a prize hog.
Earnings recap
Harley Davidson sold 15% more bikes in the third quarter as part of a carefully crafted plan to brace against rival Polaris' rebooted Indian motorcycles. Harley's market share rose to 56.5% domestically, and helped drive net income up an impressive 21%, to $0.73 per share. In the year-ago quarter, the company earned just $0.59 per share. The market had been expecting the exact figure, though underestimated top-line earnings by about $10 million. Harley logged $1.18 billion in sales, an 8.4% climb from 2012's third quarter.
The big gains in bike sales -- 20% in the U.S., 16% in Latin America, and 10% in Asia -- represented the company's largest year-over-year increase in two decades. Besides the aforementioned international interest, Harley also introduced its Project Rushmore lineup -- eight bikes with cutting-edge technology that make up the largest model introduction in the company's history. The releases were conveniently timed just days after Polaris announced the Indian revival.
The market reacted mildly to the news, with the stock ticking down slightly. The reason may have something to do with the fact that, even with the impressive sales figures, management did not feel the need to raise guidance for global shipments or earnings.
Looking ahead, the company needs to continue growing at a decent clip in order to justify its near-17 times forward earnings multiple.
High gear
The past three months offered plenty to celebrate, and it's good to see management's ability to jazz up the product lineup and generate fresh interest. Internationally, most of the Harley's sales are from first-time buyers -- a good sign that the company is finding new demographics. In recent years, Harley has shifted some manufacturing back to the United States, which gives the company some goodwill among domestic shoppers.
Big-ticket consumer goods have been surprisingly resilient amid a less-appealing macro-spending environment. Harley has certainly been able to benefit, as well.
The combination of solid fundamentals and beneficial macro conditions should allow the company to keep cruising at its recent pace, but don't assume that the stock is a great bargain. Investors and analysts seem to have a close eye on Harley's business, and the stock price reflects a relatively full valuation. For growth-seeking investors, though, Harley may still provide compelling upside if all continues to go according to plan.

Hold'em Poker For Advanced Players - David Sklansky & Mason Malmuth
Back when this was written, over 20 years ago, this book really stood out, since there really was only one other book out there that came anywhere close to the quality of poker advice it offered, and that was Sklansky's Theory of Poker. So this book looked to take some of the concepts within the previous work and focus on their application to hold'em specifically.
While The Theory Of Poker is still considered by many, including myself, to be the best poker book of all time, Hold'em Poker For Advanced Players is nowhere near as good, although having said that, it's still an excellent book and one that should be on the reading list of every poker player. "Hold'em" by the way means limit hold'em, as that was the game of the day.
So unfortunately it doesn't speak to the overwhelming favorite variation of today, which is of course no limit hold'em, in spite of the book being updated a few years ago to the "21st century edition." With that said though, it is still one of the best poker books out there period, and much of the material that it teaches is applicable to no limit hold'em as well.
This classic was way ahead of its time when it was written and still stands out after all these years as one of the better poker books out there. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending it to anyone who hasn't read it yet.

Site Reviews > Feet & Legs > Creamed Feet
$29.97 /month
Creamed Feet looks like a good site with a solid concept from the outside. Although it does have some redeeming qualities, Sir Rodney couldn't recommend it to our dear readers. Why? Read on to find out.
First, let's say this: A $30 membership to creamed feet allows you access into a network of 16 sites. All these sites are very similar in layout, format, amount of updates, content quality, etc. When clicking on the Creamed Feet section, we nearly got lost. The actual content is nearly hidden between all the ads to other sites and services. The site boasts exclusive content which it has, but it also boasts three updates every week. This is absolutely false. Although Creamed Feet does have over 40 videos at this time, it's quite apparent that the site just doesn't update anymore.
Movies are available in full length as medium and high WMVs or as a high quality MPG. However, download speeds are slow and files sizes are relatively large. The other alternative is to download the four One Minute Clips made available to you. These are just minor excerpts of the scenes and are only a 320x240 resolution. Along with each scene are some high quality photos that can be viewed in a slideshow or a zip file.
Overall, we were extremely disappointed with Creamed Feet. We just didn't have the patience to wait over an hour for an average quality WMV to download. What we were left with were small scenes... both in length and resolution... to watch. As mentioned before, the rest of this network is very similar. Only the very newest sites seem to still get updated while the others are left unmaintained.
Creamed Feet has a nice little niche, but it's not so out of the ordinary that you can't find it elsewhere.

Blessing One
Dear All,
We've said goodbye to Rilke for the time being.
Goodbye is a contraction of "God be with you," so it is a form of blessing. As we leave a person, we express the wish that God should continue with them, even if we cannot be there ourselves. May God be with you.
For the next few weeks, we'll be working with the concept of blessing as put forward, most of all, by David Spangler (who was a close friend of Brugh Joy's by the way, and a photo of him will be coming to this space soon as well).
We'll begin by wondering what we already mean by blessing.
We say, for instance, "the blessed event," meaning a birth.
We say, "of blessed memory," referring to someone who has died. In the Jewish tradition, "May his/her memory be for a blessing."
We say a blessing of various kinds before a meal and many ceremonial events.
We ask for a father's or mother's blessing, for instance at an engagement.
We say, "Bless you!" when someone sneezes.
Some have said, "Bless me, Father, for I have sinned."
We talk about counting our blessings, which has a way of suggesting that the good things in our lives are gifts. Someone blesses someone with something.
Blessings tend to happen through an imperative verb form. They are not simple statements, nor questions, nor exclamations, but invocations or commands. A blessing is a deed, held down by the words, but ultimately not in words.
Blessing is empowerment. When we feel blessed, or offer a blessing, some kind of wholeness, power, love, grace is transferred or enhanced.
A few more key aspects to blessing are captured in the first stanza of Keats's "To Autumn":
Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness,
Close bosom-friend of the maturing sun;
Conspiring with him how to load and bless
With fruit the vines that round the thatch-eves run;
To bend with apples the moss'd cottage-trees,
And fill all fruit with ripeness to the core;
Here we see blessing as collaboration ("conspiring"): between Autumn, a being of time and the Earth, with the Sun, a being of the heavens and timelessness. Also, the blessing of the vine with fruit has to do with fulfillment, something comes into the full expression of its essence – into a fruiting that will gladden or nourish.
The first question for us to meditate and practice will be: who or what in us is capable of blessing another person or process or thing? Who are we that we can confer power and goodness?
So next Tuesday, we'll be working with the "sovereignty" exercises and other practices of Spangler, such as his Standing exercise. We'll consider ourselves as increasingly intentional, increasingly coherent beings, both vessels and creators of wholeness and grace.
All blessings to all,

Not cut out for a 9-5
I came to realize that I'm not the type to have a stable, long-term job. I find it extremely refreshing to start new jobs, meet new people, learn new systems and work in different environments.
For the past 8+ years, I've heard "that's how we've been doing it for years", "no, we can't do that, it's a corporate policy" and "that's not within my job description" one too many times (roll eyes). If everyone loved what they do, they will do their jobs well, and will have the drive to do better. If everyone on the team have the same commitment and the same end goal, everyone would work together to get there. In return, the company would be running at its optimum; profits are maximized and employees are happy…doesn't that sound like an awesome place to work? I haven't found my dream work environment yet, so I have to create it!
What's better than being a solopreneur — I'm efficient and practical, I love what I do, I see an end-goal in every project and I will find the smartest way to get there.
I'm not cut out for a cozy 9-5. I need change to stay sane. Creativity comes when I'm taking a shower or on the road, they come at 5am or 11pm, I take breaks when my mind gets too clogged up or my eyes start to water — at a 9-5, you're on a schedule and creativity doesn't work that way. That's why for the first time in the past 8 years I'll be without a job or school. I'll be running my own business. There'll be a lot of obstacles and failures, and that's why 2015 is going to be awesome.

I remember the paralympics when it really WAS the paralympics. When kids with down syndrome ran 50 yards and crossed the finished line with a shit eating grin on their faces. When it wasn't about the money, but about the victory of overcoming your shortcomings and going out there and giving it everything. THOSE kids were my heros.
Now it's just about the money. :(

Most business owners that have employed an agency to help with their marketing or Public Relations can all agree that a firm is only as good as its people - and so long as that team is accessible, effective and don't come with an inflated 'billable team' rate.
PR is one of those incredibly malleable and fast-paced service areas that are conducive to smaller, flexible and responsive environments.
Most PR boutiques are small to medium-sized businesses that specialize in publicity and outreach for companies in various industries, according to the Public Relations Society of America website. The goal is to raise the overall awareness of a brand, product or image of a company or person. Their job is to make best use of your budget and determine a strategy that will best publicize your brand, drive engagement and boost sales.
But in most cases, is bigger always better? Or do individuals deliver the best value? How do you know you are hiring an agency that will meet your specific needs?
Boutique vs. Solo
Having spent the first six years of my business as a solo-preneur, I have a great respect for the work ethic and dedication it requires (still requires!). And I can attest without hesitation that growing my team has meant not only an increase in the quality of my work, but also in my company's value, processes, programs and direct output. Having multiple team members makes my company more accessible and service friendly, while clients receive the benefit of added guidance, expertise and knowledge of a collective group of people - who at any given time are meeting on, talking about and strategizing about your product or company.
Solo is great - but boutique offers higher quality and is more efficient.
Where's the Greatest Value?
When a company is ready to engage in marketing or other services the choices are 1. delegating the role internally 2. hiring an outside contractor or 3. engaging a smaller agency.
It may seem daunting to think of hiring an 'agency' as most assume it comes at a higher price point. But to put it simply, in order to fill the role which will deliver the equivalent speed, value and expertise of a collective firm - you would have to hire an employee(s) and pay them the going rate for a Marketing Manager or Social Media Manager or Promotions Specialist. For insights as to the going rates of these positions, check out this Canadian resource.
Examples of these can include: media release services, photography, branding, measurement, website design, professional writing, SEO and online marketing. Some agencies can adjust and add these services onto your existing program at a greatly reduced rate or may have the flexibility to work them into existing budgets.
Business owners will often attempt to put some of these tasks onto other less-skilled employees, decreasing or redirecting their job tasks in order to fulfill these roles.
Even if you find said employee, chances are they specialize in one specific area and may or may not have the experience, resources and tools available to them to carry out each of the three skills listed above.
Working with an agency means gaining access to additional expertise, suite of tools and subscription services which will directly benefit your company.
Questions to Ask Your Agency
Here are some great questions to ask when creating your RFP when seeking out an agency. Notice, it's not just about price point!
1. Who will be at the first meeting and by whom will my account be handled?
2. Is there room to either change direction or focus as my business grows/expands/changes?
3. What methods do you employ in creating: content, social media posts, blog posts, other?
4. How do you obtain your media research and what is your knowledge of media in my industry?
5. Who will you target in order to promote my business? How did you come to this target?
6. What other services do you offer that I may engage at a later date or when needed?
7. What method of communications do you use for your company? i.e. By what channels and how often will you be in touch.
8. What methods of measurement and reporting do you use to determine progress/success?
9. Your charged with enhancing (or) maintaining the image of my company/brand. What steps do you take to maintain your own company's brand or image? (i.e. what values to you uphold)
