I tend to have zones around my house, out the back where I can't smell them (as far from any open window as possible) is the table with the stapeliads on them.
Pool fence and surrounds are my ivy geraniums.
Beside the aquaponics system is my potting area - and my orchids and out the back door near the laundry is my epiphyte section (rhipsalis/epiphyllum/zygos). I must have over 20 different rhipsalis now, so I'll try and feature a few as they come into flower. I do love these guys -weird foliage and gorgeous little flowers.

As the last day of January rolls around most of us are already looking towards February, and of course, Valentine's day. Perhaps most of you think about those you love and celebrating but it made me think about heart. Having heart. Giving from the heart. Does giving from the heart make you think about charitable giving? That's not a bad thing. If each of us gave to those in need what a wonderful world this would be.
But what I really meant was giving from the heart to your clients. Give them over and above what they are expecting. Try giving them exceptional customer service. I like to give my clients the marketing edge not just provide a graphic design service. It always amazes me when designers don't realize that they are the marketing expert on a project. Why do you design a piece a specific way? To catch the consumer's eye. To drive traffic to a website. To get clients. Why do you select the colors that you do when you design a piece? Every artist knows that certain colors elicit specific feelings and emotions. As a designer you're capturing that and creating a mood or a feeling for the reader.
I study each piece that I design by following up with the client to see what kind of response they've had, how they utilized it and what other needs they might have. I believe in giving the whole marketing design package. I give from the heart. I want my clients to love my service, to love my designs and to love working with my company.
It's all about heart…and loving what I do and knowing how my designs can impact the lives and business fortunes of others.

"Once there lived a little donkey whose owner beat him daily. A gentle man named Joseph felt sorry for the donkey and paid a high price for him.
Joseph and his pregnant wife, Mary, were kind to the donkey, who felt happy again. Joseph told the donkey he needed his help for a very important journey to a town called Bethlehem.
The donkey proudly carried Mary and waited while Joseph tried to find lodging. Upset that there was no room, the little donkey brayed so loudly that the innkeeper sent them to a stable where the woman gave birth to her baby, Jesus, whom the donkey kept warm with his soft breath.
A brave little donkey carried Mary and her babe.
That night was born our Savior, in a manger now he lay.
God bless the little donkey and the journey that he made."
*Taken from http://www.stjames-liberty.org/stjames2/2015-advent-calendar/legend-of-the-christmas-donkey/
**********************************Here is the true story of the Birth of Jesus (Luke 2:1-20, NIV)
The Birth of Jesus2 In those days Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world. 2 (This was the first census that took place while[a] Quirinius was governor of Syria.) 3 And everyone went to their own town to register.
4 So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David, because he belonged to the house and line of David. 5 He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child. 6 While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, 7 and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no guest room available for them.
8 And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. 9 An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. 10 But the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. 11 Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord. 12 This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger."
13 Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying,
14 "Glory to God in the highest heaven,
and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests."
15 When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, "Let's go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about."
16 So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger. 17 When they had seen him, they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child, 18 and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them. 19 But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart. 20 The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen, which were just as they had been told.
My prayer is that this post helps someone, anyone who reads, turn their life over to Jesus Christ. Christmas is not about the gifts that we receive, the shopping, the food…no, it is about the reason we are here and have eternal life: Jesus Christ!

I don't know about you, but we get alot of "owies" at our house. As much fun as it is to throw a bag of frozen peas on a banged up knee to bring down the swelling....this is an even better idea!
Mix 2 cups of water and 1/3 cup rubbing alcohol in a Ziplock bag. (I put the baggie in a jar to hold it upright while I pour. I also add some food coloring so it is a fun color) Zip shut and place in the freezer.
It doesn't freeze solid!
It turns into a soft slush that molds easily to your body and feels much better than a
hard bag of ice or a stinky bag of peas.

(JNS.org) The lone surviving terrorist from the 2008 Mumbai attack was hanged in the early hours of Nov 21 in an Indian prison, the Associated Press reported.
Mohammed Ajmal Kasab's execution was carried out after India's President Pranab Mukherjee rejected his plea for mercy.
"It was decided then that on Nov. 21 at 7:30 in the morning he would be hanged. That procedure has been completed today," Union Home Sushil Kumar Shinde said.
Kasab was part of a 10 man Pakistani Islamic terrorist squad that killed 166 people at various targets over a three-day period in November 2008, including a local Chabad House where six people were killed, including Rabbi Gavriel Noach Holtzberg and his wife, Rivka, who was five months pregnant. Their two-year-old son Moshe survived the attack after being rescued by his Indian nanny.
According radio transmissions picked up by Indian intelligence at the time, the terrorists were told by their organizers that "the lives of Jews were worth 50 times those of non-Jews."
India blames Laskhar e-Taiba, a Pakistani terrorist organization, for carrying out the attacks.

The Anti-Black Friday Day – Buy Nothing Day, November 28
The day after Thanksgiving, Black Friday, is one of the busiest shopping days of the year. This year, with the credit crisis, the shops might be a little quieter. Or maybe not, as retailers slash prices even more than usual to attempt to get the customers in their stores and spending money.
Black Friday is also national "Buy Nothing Day", a day organized by activism and anti-consumerism group Adbusters to raise awareness of over-consumption and to encourage shoppers to be more thoughtful about what they actually buy. Do they really need that? Is it replacing something that could be repaired? Would it be cheaper to buy it second-hand?
Are you planning to go shopping on Black Friday? Toys, and electronics are often the most heavily discounted. Expectant parents need a digital camera for baby photos – and how could even the harshest anti-consumerist argue with that?
Babies are the easiest people to buy for. Stores filled with racks and racks of the most adorable baby clothes, nursery decor, toys that promise to teach baby to count and spell and speak Spanish and learn her animals, most baby stores make it super-easy to start a baby registry, and most baby websites have a checklist of things you need to buy for your baby. And then there's the pressure to be a yummy mummy and have the latest stroller, most fashionable baby carrier, and designer baby clothes, just like the celebrity moms.
I'm preparing to move house, and I'm looking through my son's baby stuff. I'm marveling at how little I used some of the items we bought or received. Some of his clothes have tags still on, or are pristine and barely worn. There's so many toys he didn't care for.
My finances have been trashed this year – I became a single mom – so initiated by necessity, I've had to work out what I really, truly need to buy. So now I haven't bought a toy for my son for months. Yes, you read that right. He's been very happy playing with random non-toy objects and it's so neat to watch him invent new uses for things, and it's using my grey matter thinking up ways to reuse objects like empty food pots (train garage, frog castle, bath toy) and other things that hitherto would have gone in the trash. We were playing at being bats in a cave underneath the duvet this afternoon, then I rolled him up in it like a burrito which he thought was hilarious. Adding in getting all our books from the library, the total cost of toys = $0.
I've bought him winter clothes, including a couple of things from a local consignment store, and new mittens for me, and that's about it. Looking through the barely-used baby clothes reminded me how fast they grow and to just buy what he needed, not lots of cute outfits because they were cute.
And I did get a new digital camera. Well, kinda new – it was $50 second-hand from Craigslist. Craigslist is also a great source of baby bargains. When my son was a baby I got an exersaucer for $5 and a brand new swing for $20, and a great big bagful of baby Gap clothes for $15. And in keeping with the ethics of Buy Nothing Day, buying second-hand is very green, it doesn't use any of the planet's resources, and it saves the items from the landfill.
Black Friday is a great day to get a discount on something you really need, and many internet stores are already discounting prices and have special offers in preparation for a Thanksgiving shopping marathon. I found my son's new winter coat 40% off and free shipping at Amazon, much cheaper than at my local mall.
But after hearing about Buy Nothing Day, I'm also resolving to be more thoughtful about what I buy, and to consider what we actually need before I buy anything.
Are you going shopping on Black Friday? What are you looking for? Or are you going to be having a "Buy Nothing Day"?

How can you tell I am a mother? It is now Wednesday, and I am just now posting about Mother's Day! SHEESH! :)
HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY to all you amazing women out there! I want to you know that you all inspire me, and I try to become better each day because of the creative and amazing women that are my examples! (regardless of whether or not I know you personally!)
Mothers day was fantastic! Adam made me a "healthy" breakfast, gave me these:& made me dinner! He had plans to get me more than just flowers, but then I had the great idea of getting a running stroller to "motivate me" to exercise :) I have actually wanted one for a WHILE now ... so we combined Mother's Day, and my share of the tax refund and bought this baby!Now all we need is for Utah to warm up so that I don't have to dress my children like we are rolling through the Arctic!
Last but not least, my sister's and I went up to Salt Lake yesterday in the pouring rain to take my mom to lunch at the Garden Room at the top of the Joseph Smith Memorial building and go take a tour of the Relief Society building where she serves as a missionary twice a month! It was a great day, and sure made it a fun mother's day gift for her. We even saw Sherri Dew in Deseret Book! WAY awesome. Sorry I don't have any pictures ... I forgot my camera :)
Tell me what your traditions of Mother's Day are!

I am finally jumping on a task that I have intended to do for years, but for some reason never started. I'm writing a book. A real book with plot, characters and maybe even a conflict or two. I'm finally going to do it. It is #4 on my Bucket List and I probably need to cross something off of it now and then.
One of the many problems with taking on a task of this size is the knowledge that I have never done this before and have no idea what I am doing. When I first started a few weeks ago, all I had was a yearning to finally write a book.
OK. I believe that is step one. ☑
Unfortunately, I really didn't know what I wanted to write. Over the years, I always thought that when I wrote a book, it would be a collection of stories from my childhood. I have hundreds of stories that would be fun to tell, but that would really just be my blog in book form. I needed a story.
I decided I was going to tackle fiction. That's another step accomplished. ☑
Obviously, at this rate I wasn't going to get anywhere. So, I really started to spend some time with this. I know I can tell a story well. I've gotten lots of feedback from my blog posts, I just need a longer story. Then, one night lying in bed, it hit me. There is a genre that I am intimately familiar with. I love movies, TV shows and books about the topic. I really think I could give it my own twist. I immediately jumped out of bed to jot down a few ideas. I crashed into the dresser first, but once I stopped the bleeding and convinced my wife I hadn't just been attacked, I jotted down the ideas.
The next day at work, I started building the world of my book in my mind. I even paused now and then to write down some things I didn't want to forget. Since I am a humor writer, the ideas for jokes are coming to me faster than actual plot points. In the world I have created, I can see all sorts of scenarios where the jokes will come easy and I want to include them in the book, but I have no idea yet what the plot will be to make these scenarios happen.
So, I called up a high school friend Jessica Patch, who is now a successful published author and all-around good person, to pick her brain a little. I mainly wanted to know a little about her process. When do you actually start writing? Do you have the whole plot worked out before you start crafting the story? Do you need to know who all your characters already are or can the back story develop in your mind as you're writing? Is this much crying normal? How do you get melted cheese out of your keyboard?
Jessica graciously and expertly shared the answers to all my questions and gave me tips about lots of information I hadn't even considered yet. She recommended a couple of books to help me shape my story structure and offered to be of any future assistance. It was a very productive phone call.
The next day, I couldn't even concentrate on work. The ideas just started flowing. I now know my main characters. I know their families and coworkers and the plot is starting to come together. I can actually see the layout of the small town where this takes place and have begun having conversations with several of the characters in my head. It's exciting and also a little creepy. I have this fictitious existence floating around in my brain that I keep finding myself escaping to. That phone call with Jessica just opened up something in my head.
Now, I feel like it's time to start writing. I just need to break it to my wife that I will be moving south to stay with Jessica's family until the book is completed.

These aren't your mama's clogs!
"Can you recommend a place to get these non-pesticide riddled clothing oh fabulous eco-fashionista?"
Ok, maybe it wasn't quite like that. The important thing here is that you, the readers of sew green, need clothes that aren't as harmful to the world. I can give you that information that you so justly deserve. So here for your pleasure is a list of places where you can buy organic/sustainable clothing, companies that make organic/sustainable clothing, and information for those of you who really don't want to consume more out there but want to try your own hand at fashion.
The DIY set:
Since this is a blog that is also centering on consumerism I thought that I would start off with the DIY (or "D"o "I"t "Y"ourself) information first. If you don't have clothing that you can refashion already then what you want to do is get thee to a Salvation Army (or goodwill etc)! Why I say these sorts of places rather than one of your cooler thrift locals? Because the cooler thrift stores are already selling "fashion." If you're going to cut up a suit jacket and make a corset top then you don't need to fork over $60 for that 60s suit jacket. Trust me on this one. Do you and your wallet a favor.
So you have your jacket. Now what? Here is a VERY small list of some of the places I know about where you can make magic happen. Check it:
Live in San Francisco Area? Don't have a sewing machine or know what the hell to do? Stitch Lounge is the place for you. Run by "Two Melissas and a Hope" this great place not only teaches you basics but provides all the machines for you to do what you need to do! Serger? Check. Straight stitch machine? Check. Work tables, dress forms, notions and much more. Take a refashioning class if you don't know where to begin or just go to their open studio times and have at it.
Live in NYC? Want to be craft? Step out to the Make Workshop! They have everything a guy/girl to need to craft up a wardrobe! Classes, supplies and so much more… all in the heart of Manhattan! Bring a t-shirt to turn into a ball gown or a suit jacket to make into a mini-skirt. This is the place in the NY area to make it happen.
Attention Austin peeps! First Samples is the place for you! Just like everyone else listed here they have a little something for the girl/guy who craves their own wardrobe their own way.
Love it but don't feel like leaving your home? Then try some of these great books from the library!
"Sew U: The Built-by-Wendy Guide to Sewing Your Own Wardrobe" This is a book by NYC fashion darling Built-by-Wendy. On the whole I'm not a fan of her stuff BUT this book is great. You get three basic patterns and a whole lot of information. Great for intermediate sewers for sure.
"Generation T – 108 Ways to Transform a T-shirt" This book always seems to find new readers. They literally give you a 108 ways to make a T-shirt interesting and new. The bonus? Try taking these techniques and ideas into FITTED shirts. Then you start cooking with gas!
"Sew Subversive" By the aforementioned Stitch Lounge girls. The book is for beginners. There are some projects that can perk your brain into different directions but if you are into sewing and refashioning this might bore you.
Need support? There are PLENTY of people out there (like our dear Nikki) who are there for you:
Wardrobe Refashioning
Ok, so this is the part that I talk about some of my favorite manufacturer's of sustainable and organic clothing. Again, this is just some of the places and people with whom I have given my hard earned greenbacks for their amazing goods. Yes these products are more expensive than their "conventional" brothers/sisters but I would rather refashion 500 t-shirts so I can save and by a top by one of these great designers.
Del Forte Denim (of course I'd start here!): Premium organic jeans for women. $125-$190 I wouldn't be lying to say that these jeans are just the greatest. From shorts to skirts to jeans Del Forte has got it all. Made from seed to jean entirely in the USA – a rarity even in the premium denim marketplace.
Loomstate Denim: Premium organic jeans for men and women $125-$150 Indonesian Organic Cotton made in the USA. Their men's jeans are where it's at for sure. The jeans they make for women are really ill-fitting to say the least. Plus 90% of them are the (what I like to call) "Britney Spears" rise (aka 6".) Ew. For men's jeans though they can't be beat for cut and wearability.
AC Clothing & Bags: Women's clothing $50-$200 Oakland, CA Amy Cools is cooler than ice. Her clothes are all hand made in her studio in Oakland's Temescal district. Made of recycled materials, vintage materials and vintage trims. From simple cute T's to fantastic multi-layered dresses and petticoats.
Passenger Pigeon : Women's clothing $76-$200 A great eco-clothing like from Canada. While they use a lot of bamboo and soy fabrics (not the best processes in the world) these are beautiful clothes that are easy and simple to wear. Playing with prints and textures this company walks a great line of fashion and sustainability.
Terra Plana Shoes are sassy and sustainable. $100-$150 Men and Women's Shoes. Made in the EU with sustainable materials. Not only are many of their styles organic but they go the extra mile to cut down or not use many of the harmful glues required in the manufacture of shoes. They are committed to the environment and have their eco policies plainly stated. I've got several pairs of their shoes and they wear great.
Stewart and Brown: Women's clothing $55-$500 Organics, sustainable fabrics, factory surplus. Imported fabrics, Made in the USA. Stewart and Brown are the "organic pioneers" as they so humbly state on their website. But let's face it – they were. Most of their line used to be a bit to "earthy crunchy" for me but they have begun to really get the fashion market as of late. Very pricey on their knits but oh so sexy.
Cydwoq: (pronounced sidewalk) shoes are little bits of leather art. Men's and Women's shoes $200-$300 (ow!) These are limited edition handcrafted shoes made in the USA Vegi-dyed leathers and water based glues. Way too pricey for this gal but I'll tell you, if I could afford them – I would. They fit AMAZINGLY well and are so unique.
Enamore Lingerie Women's lingerie $40-$125 What you expect to find in fine European undies. From bed-jackets to sexy bras this place has it all AND it is Eco. Hello nurse!
Junky Styling Refashioned clothing for the modern woman and man. $125-$500 I was blown away by these two women when I was in London. Takes refashioning from people's sewing rooms to the runway almost seamlessly (pardon the pun.) You can't tell that my sexy longsleeved wide necked shirt was once a track suit and a pair of men's pants. It's amazing. Best is that they can take your old vintage clothes and turn them into their latest runway clothing. Making thier clothes even more special to you. Top Notch.
So now a little love to the small boutiques in the bay area that (and NY) that sell eco fashion lines, but also some of the made in the USA smaller local designer types. After all, if you can't buy eco the next best thing is to buy local. Not only are you helping out the small shop owners you are benefiting the designers who sell there. Double bonus!
Doe: Lower Haight in San Francisco for Men, Women, Baby and Home. This place is just too great. Local made goods and amazing ones at that. Great for anyone in the bay area to find a "just right" gift for just about anyone. From beautiful vases to beautiful dresses this store's aesthetic is right on.
Gomi: Brooklyn, New York Women and Home This eco boutique is a powerhouse despite it's small size. For serious! The shop owner, Anne, picks out every piece herself (much like the above Doe - rock on Kati!) and the time it takes SHOWS. She has discerning taste and it's all eco and sustainable. Sexy and saving the planet. I heart GOMI (and it's not just because she sells our jeans.)
Relish at Home: Oakland, CA Men's & Women's (limited clothing) Home, Garden, Accessories This amazing little shop in Oakland pack a punch. This woman's shop is TINY (is this a trend?) and she packs it with some of the best independent designers this place offers.
This list is only the beginning. Please feel free to post YOUR favorite local businesses or sustainable clothing lines in the comments section. The more people who are out there making a demanding local and sustainable the more likely big companies will begin to "get it".

I didn't see rawganique.com mentioned. They sell clothing from fibres produced all over the place, so aren't necessarily local, but most of their clothing is organic. There is some made with conventional hemp I think, but lots of organic cotton, hemp, linen etc. It's sweatshop free too.

Thanks for this. It prompted me to fire off an email to my favorite shoe/sandal company to find how how they rate in the environmental responsibility category for production of their shoes (their Web site talks about the great things that people who wear their shoes are doing, but I want to know what's under the hood of the shoes themselves). I'll let you know what I hear back. I think that urging people to take the step of opening a conversation with people at the companies making the stuff we buy is a great way to widen the circle of change.
Here is DIY place in Toronto, ON Canada:

Also another great store...
Beklina is very modern with well edited selection. -lots of great sales too.
I've only made one purchase, but I recently got some organic cotton material from NearSea Naturals (nearseanaturals.com) and was very pleased.

Following up; it's long, but here's the email I received back from Keen Footwear -- a line of outdoor shoe/sandals (they are hybrids).
We applaud your interest in supporting products made under good environmental and working conditions. Ecologically friendly and sustainable practices are of the utmost priority in the development and production of our footwear. A few of our current practices and projects include:
- Designing the first 100% biodegradable shoebox
- Creating design patterns that, when cut out of material, produce as little waste as possible. We are also introducing a new product line made partially out of our own materials scraps.
- Using organic cotton for our canvas
- Using only leather that comes from the US , and is a bi product of the beef or dairy industry; and ONLY supporting tanneries that follow all the standards to be certified for environmental quality and humanitarian regulations.
- Developing water-soluble and vegan solvents, and using vulcanized rubber instead of glue
As for labor standards, our US based product development team is in constant contact with the factories, and visits them regularly to ensure that they fully adhere to our labor standards. The standards address the following issues:
Keen will seek business partners who do not discriminate in hiring and employment practices, and who make decisions about hiring, salary, benefits, advancement, discipline, termination and retirement solely on the basis of the person's ability to do the job.
Workers shall not work more than 60 hours per week, including overtime, except in extraordinary business circumstances. In countries where the maximum work week is less, that standard shall apply. Workers shall be entitled to at least one day off in every seven day period.
Keen will not work with business partners that use forced or compulsory labor, including labor that is required as a means of political coercion or as punishment for holding or for peacefully expressing political views, in the manufacture of its products. Keen will not purchase materials that were produced by forced prison or other compulsory labor and will immediately terminate business relationships with any sources found to utilize such labor.
Keen will seek business partners who share our commitment to the betterment of wage and benefit levels that address the basic needs of workers and their families so far as possible and appropriate in the light of national practices and conditions. Keen will not select business partners that pay less than the minimum wage required by local law or that pay less than the prevailing local industry practices (whichever is higher.)
Keen will not work with business partners that use child labor. The term "child" generally refers to a person who is younger than 15 (or 14 where the law of the country allows) or younger than the age for completing compulsory education in the country of manufacture where such age is higher than 15.
Keen will seek business partners that share its commitment to the right of employees to establish and join organizations of their own choosing. Keen recognizes the right of all employees to organize and bargain collectively.
Keen will seek business partners that strive to assure employees a safe and healthy workplace and that do not expose workers to hazardous conditions.
Every factory producing Keen products will publicize and enforce a non-retaliation policy that permits factory workers to speak with Keen staff without fear of retaliation by factory management.
Keen will apply these Human Rights Production Standards in our selection of business partners. Keen will seek compliance with these standards by our contractors, subcontractors, suppliers, and other business partners.
To assure proper implementation of this policy, Keen will seek business partners that allow Keen full knowledge of the production facilities used and will undertake affirmative measures, such as on-site inspection of production facilities, to implement and monitor these standards.
Keen takes strong objection to the use of force to suppress any of these standards and will take such actions into account when evaluating facility compliance with these standards.
Thank you again for your inquiry, as well as for your commitment to supporting ecologically responsible and humanitarian products and companies.

For Immediate Release
April 2007
Got a s(eco)nd?
This August 27-29th in Las Vegas , Pooltradeshow will launch a new area entitled s(eco)nd that will focus on the new breed of environmentally & socially conscious organizations that are emerging world-wide. s(eco)nd will take place in conjunction with Pool in Las Vegas .
Pool, the incubator of new & emerging lifestyle fashion, began as a non-traditional forum to fulfill a need for the specialty market. For the last 6 years, Pool has been a place where key retailers connect with innovative apparel & lifestyle designers. Now, Pool is introducing a new branch that will fulfill a need in the industry for the new generation of consciousness. s(eco)nd will showcase the best new talents who are also making a positive impact on our world.
Director of Operations for Pool & creator of s(eco)nd, Mindy Wiener says " Now, we have an opportunity to lead by example on what is seemingly THE issue of our time. True visionaries such as Fred Segal tried to introduce this concept over a decade ago but he was too far ahead of the market. We recognize that timing is very important in the Fashion Industry. We've been working to raise awareness for the last few seasons but have not felt like the timing was quite right to take a stand. Now, there is no doubt that (people) businesses have become more aware & are implementing changes that are impacting the industry. By introducing the thought that it only takes a s(eco)nd to change the world, s(eco)nd will allow us to take a second look at how we do business and will encourage our audience to rethink their most basic day-to-day habits. We are proud to take a stand, paving the way to greater change."
s(eco)nd will carefully hand-select each of its launch brands.
For media inquires and more information on how you can become involved with Pool or s(eco)nd, please contact:

Arizona. Land of the Grand Canyon, petrified forest, giant crater and . . . snow in May? Well, apparently.
Our plan for today was to get an early start, and head straight for Arizona where we'd swing by the Petrified Forest National Park and then Meteor Crater on the way to Williams, our base of operations for the next three nights. Arizona was weirdly signposted, in that we saw huge billboards saying "State line – 3 miles" but then no marker for the actual state line. Americans, it's anti-climactic when you don't even put a sign up on your state lines, get yourselves sorted out. If Nebraska can do it anywhere can.
We could soon tell we'd entered Arizona anyway, as everything by the side of the road was suddenly fake teepees, plastic cows halfway up mountains and signs practically begging us to pull over and buy "native gifts". We couldn't be having with all that, so kept our eyes on the prize and rolled up at the Petrified Forest place well on schedule. We'd decided to buy an annual interagency pass to get us into all our scheduled National Parks, and despite Great Sand Dunes being accidentally free the other day $80 for the annual pass was still a good deal, so we got that sorted out by the nice lady at the entrance station and set off into the wilderness.
Given that we'd been driving parallel with the park for a good while, we were slightly concerned that we'd just end up looking at more of the same thing we'd been seeing for the last hour. But no, as soon as we stopped off at the first designated place on the "Painted Desert" end of the park, we knew we were onto a winner.
It was windy. Like, REALLY windy. Like, be careful you don't literally get blown off the cliff and to your death kind of windy. Shame, but it could have been worse and it didn't impact the spectacular views. Behold, pic!
There were smooth red hilly rocks, ye olde graffitied rocks, "howtf did they get that stripey?" rocks, and at one point we could just about make out the hazy outline of what we were assured were the San Francisco Peaks, whatever those are. There was lots of wind, lots of Dave taking panoramic photos on his phone, and also a large wooly dog sat on my foot and warmed it up. It was all very cool.
The second half of the park is the actual petrified wood part, and to get there you drive back over the Interstate and about 20 more miles down a winding road. Didn't expect the place to be that large, but there you go. Adventure!
The thing with petrified logs is that they just look like wood. Weirdly red wood, I'll admit, but wood nevertheless. Despite all the informative signs telling us how they were turned into not wood, we remained convinced they were wood. Until we saw some up close.
There were various short trails available to wander around some more logs, and the alluring promise of seeing the park's largest log, but after a lot of standing around in what I'm sure were gale force winds, we decided enough was enough and buggered off. It was excellent though, don't get me wrong. And those logs really aren't wood.
Next we drove another hour or so to get to Meteor Crater. I was especially excited for this because I'd read a lot about it during lunch breaks at a call centre job I briefly held in 2004. It's not a national park, and costs a rather steep $18 for adults, but it was totally worth it despite the wind. Inside the visitors centre is a nice little museum / info exhibit all about craters in general and this one in particular, with some interactive quizzes and things that we couldn't resist playing with.
Outside is of course where all the real excitement happens, at least if you find giant holes in the ground to be exciting. It was so windy up here that I actually had to hold onto the hand rails to avoid being blown down the steps. But look, big crater!
We couldn't spend too long here due to the wind, but it was spectacular and I was so happy to finally see the place in real life. Even if it did have a slightly out of place astronaut down in the crater for some reason. We also saw our first Alaska license plate on a motorhome in the car park, which was extremely gratifying as we thought we might never get that one for our collection.
After the crater it was another couple of hours to Williams, and we were equal parts excited and nervous. We haven't stayed in the same place for three nights since Chicago, so we were really hoping our Rodeway Inn & Suites would be nice. Except the only other one we saw on the way here appeared to have a biker convention happening in the car park, so we were a little concerned. The weather then decided to add to the tension with a small amount of rain, which then turned into sleet, and literally five minutes later we were driving through a Winter wonderland. Let me remind you this is Arizona, in the middle of May. Completely and totally the opposite of anything we ever expected.
The snow seemed to be concentrated around Flagstaff and by the time we finally made it to Williams, weary and trepidatious, it was just raining a bit. Our hotel was a motel, so that didn't bode well, but it's actually really really nice. The main living area is mostly taken up with a giant bed, which means we can both sleep comfortably without ever having to touch each other. Hurrah!
We celebrated our successful day with some "carryout" Pizza Hut, which we proceeded to eat on the giant bed. Because we're classy like that. Tomorrow either Grand Canyon (because we haven't seen enough giant holes in the ground today) or some other place, I don't really know. All I know is that this bed is super comfy and I'm drifting off . . .

Katherine Chew, 47, and Blake Holden, 49, grew up in typical middle-class families in Brooklyn and Westchester. It wasn't until they met, married, and had children that their community-minded, vegetarian tendencies solidified into a counterculture family philosophy. Last Thanksgiving, instead of turkey, stuffing, and football, all day the four of us danced in the house, then went ice-skating, says Chew, a social worker and co-founder of the Brooklyn Free School, a democratic K-12 school with no formal classes or grades. When anyone feels like shopping, the first stop is the Salvation Army. If their daughters, Lila, 10, and Sophie, 6, want new toys, they first check if anything good has been left on the curb. We like to salvage, Chew explains. Almost everything the Chew-Holdens own has been repurposed, including their Prospect Heights brownstone, which had been abandoned and damaged by a fire when they bought it three years ago. Holden, a green builder, helmed the reconstruction using recycled materials that are VOC (volatile organic compound)-free. Support beams were salvaged from a Vermont barn; the insulation is made from ground-up leftover blue jeans.
Chew's sister lives upstairs, as does her best friend and her boyfriend. All pitch in with caring for Lila and Sophie. Vegetables come from the food co-op, which they walk to, or the backyard. The bookshelves were made by Holden, and everything elsefrom the piano to the rugsis secondhand. We're not into consumption, says Katherine. The lamps were salvaged from the house. We found them covered in ash. The girls have a room, used mostly for playing (they don't have homework), but everyone sleeps in the family bed, a king mattress plus a twin pushed together. The girls love it, Chew says, and I've gotten used to sleeping with a foot in my face. If Blake and I need privacy, there are plenty of other places in the house.

Why Consumer Education
In order to safeguard the interests of consumers and ensure proper compliance and orderly business activities of financial services providers in Swaziland, there is a need to carry out consumer education; as a critical success factor in consumer protection. Financial services and products are generally complex in nature and there are widespread problems caused by the ignorance of such products. It is therefore important that we empower consumers and promote their confidence so that they may be in a position to understand and make the right choices as they transact in the market.

I swear, I just left the house to take Ike for a walk and pick up a goat cheese salad and macaron at Cacao... but somehow I ended up swishing roses at Weygandt Wines. You can too, until 4pm today!
They are offering five different roses to taste (decent pours, to boot) and you get a special discount on any of the tasting bottles you buy.
So, what came home with me? A 2010 Markowitsch from Austria ( 50% Blaufrankisch, 30% Cabernet Savignon and 20% Zweigelt) and a 2010 Domaine Les Aphillanthes Cotes du Rhone are now chilling in my refrigerator.
Oh, and yes, I remembered Ike too.

How many of you just thought Kom-whattie- whattie? It's ok- if you haven't heard about this drink, you aren't alone. Kombucha is a naturally fermented drink that is made with a culture (often called a mushroom or Scoby) and sweet tea. It is typically effervescent and somewhat reminiscent of vinegar. It has many health benefits, chief among them is its ability to assist the body in removing toxins from the liver and blood. As part of our Medicinal Herbs CSA this past summer I included a Kombucha culture for our shareholders. Part of making this drink is figuring out what to do with your scobys which will multiply like rabbits. For every batch, your scoby will have a "baby". You can keep making more and more batches, invest in a continuous brewer such as the system found here at Kombucha Kamp, or figure out other uses for them. I don't have a continuous brewer myself, but I not-so-secretly lust after them…. have any of you tried one? My CSA members have been asking since the summer for ideas, so here goes:
1. Use it as a facial. Put it on your face for about 15 minutes. You can also use the tea itself in baths and on your skin and hair!
2. Make more Kombucha.
3. Share with friends!
4. Dry it and give it to your animals as a treat (it will be slightly chewy, not brittle). This will be kind of like pigs ears, but you can actually just save the extra work of drying and give it fresh to dogs, cats, chickens and more.
5. Put it under a bandaid to help heal a cut or burn.
6. Add to your compost or grind it up to side dress a plant that likes a more acid ph.
7. Use them to experiment with different teas and sugars. If you kill them, no worries!
8. Blend small slices into your breakfast smoothie. There are other food applications here as well- I hear some people use it as a fish substitute in sushi!
9. Use in crafting as a leather substitute.
10. Add bits of scoby to the vase of water to perk up fresh flowers.
Have any favorite uses for your scoby?

Jesus House to raise a generation of entrepreneurs
Leading London mega-church Jesus House aims to train up a new generation of young entrepreneurs in the London Borough of Barnet when it launches a new social enterprise called The Barnet Youth Business Incubator (BaYBI) on Thursday.
Among the special guests expected at the launch are Lord Green, a government minister in the Department of Business Innovation and Skills, Caroline Marsh, a property magnate and philanthropist and Baroness Elizabeth Berridge of the Vale of Catmose.
Jesus House, a member of the Evangelical Alliance, has joined forces with youth-led charity Elevation Networks and Barnet Council to set up BayBI, which will seek to reach young adults, aged between 16-24, who want to run their own business.
The target audience for BaYBI will include unemployed graduates, as well as young people on the fringes of society and Neets (those not in education, employment or training).
Pastor Agu Irukwu, who leads Jesus House, is a member of the One People Commission.
Ayo Adedoyin, head of community at Jesus House, is looking forward to launching BaYBI.
He said: "Jesus House exists to make a positive difference in people's lives and the BaYBI project is one way in which we can do this. It's our hope that the BaYBI will enable a generation of young people to fully develop their God-given talents, fulfil their potential and make a valuable contribution to society."
He continued: "Through partnering with Elevation Networks, and Barnet Council I believe we'll achieve our goal in helping young adults in the Borough of Barnet to become successful entrepreneurs and hopefully create employment for other young people."
The range of services BaYBI will provide include helping clients register a business, open a business bank account as well as provide training on all aspects of running a business such as PR and marketing, finding suppliers and assigning business mentors to people who sign up to the scheme.
Kaio de Sousa, 22, will serve as the BaYBI incubator manager. He said: "We have already lined up budding entrepreneurs wanting to set up various businesses which includes a web design consultancy, a music studio, a hair dressing saloon, an employment agency and a leaflet distribution company – this list is set to grow once we launch and start working with more young people."
The BaYBI initiative will be based in north Finchley and it is hoped that up to 100 young people will sign up for the training and mentorship programme during its first year of operation and that at least 20 NEETS will have set up their own businesses.

Herbal Tea for Gastritis – 5 Best Healing Recipes!
Gastritis refers to a condition in which the lining of the stomach becomes inflamed. In some cases, this condition can develop suddenly. In other situations, it comes about gradually and in a more chronic state of development. The condition is often caused by bacteria, specifically H. pylori (Helicobacter pylori) but may be caused by other viruses and infections as well. Gastritis may also be the result of damage or distress to the stomach such as that caused from excessive alcohol, drug or medication use and irritation from other general causes.

When teams from the two states that have legalized marijuana for recreational use clash at Sunday's Super Bowl, so will activists on both sides of the debate about pot prohibition. The Marijuana Policy Project (MPP) is sponsoring five billboards near MetLife MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, where the Denver Broncos will face the Seattle Seahawks. The anti-pot group Project SAM is responding with an ad that "will be placed on digital and vinyl billboards throughout the New York-New Jersey area."
Four of MPP's ads are variations on the marijuana-is-safer theme that played a conspicuous role in Colorado's legalization campaign and was recently echoed by President Obama. Two ads criticize the National Football League's anti-pot policy, showing generic players asking, "Why does the league punish us for making the safer choice?" The other two note that marijuana is safer than football as well as alcohol. The fifth MPP ad shows a tally of attendance at the last 10 Super Bowls next to a tally of marijuana arrests in 2012 (about 750,000 in both cases).
How does Project SAM respond? It can't very well deny that marijuana is safer than alcohol, since its chairman admitted as much on national television last week. Nor can it deny that pot prohibition generates hundreds of thousands of arrests each year, the vast majority for simple possession. Here is what the group came up with instead:
That's right: Project SAM—which stands, believe it or not, for Smart Approaches to Marijuana—is warning Americans about amotivational syndrome. In 2014. The theme reflected in this billboard was hoary when it was first applied to marijuana in the 1960s, having figured prominently in anti-cigarette propaganda two decades before the federal ban on marijuana, which before it was portrayed as a soporific that renders people lethargic and unambitious was feared as a "killer drug" that made them aggressive and irrationally violent.

text: I'm on the fence as to whether this iPhone holder for your bicycle is the greatest invention ever or an accident just waiting to happen. It's definitely safer than holding the phone in your hand while biking. And I could see the utility in having the phone set on your handlebars but I somehow think that it's just too complicated a device to be mounted on a bicycle and could easily cause the cyclist to become distracted and crash his bike. Trying to finesse a touchscreen device while in motion on road- that might just be trouble.

Do you want to have a better sense of fashion? You can look great, even if you have a budget to stick to.
Neutral colors are in; try pairing black and white together. These colors can be seen on today's runways. It's so simple to create black and white combinations using just a shirt and pants or a dress. When it comes to the types of fashion choices you can make here, the sky is really the limit.
For a simple, quick way to boost your look, choose a great belt. You can find them in countless styles and colors. Be trendy by wearing a bright belt with some skinny jeans, or be sophisticated with a professional black belt.
Watch for new fashion trends. Fashion is ever-changing, so even if you don't wear them, at least keep up with the latest styles by following a couple of fashion magazines. Magazines get looks directly from the runway, so they are often the first to publish new trends.
Handbags compliment outfits; however, if you carry any other bags, ensure that your purse complements them as well. If you are carrying a briefcase as well, make sure that the whole unit matches. Do not carry to matching bags, instead use coordinating colors or fabrics.
If you have problems with frizz, avoid rubbing hair with towels after washing it. This can stretch and damage wet hair, encouraging frizz. Instead, roll your hair up in the towel and push down to absorb moisture. When you are happy with how much water you've gotten out, you can unwrap it and then brush with a comb.
Wear your hair up in a casual bun to keep it off the shoulders. Long hair can be a burden during a busy day. So bring it up so that you don't have to worry about it getting in the way of trying to focus throughout each day.
Don't pump your mascara wand. It will not get more product on the brush, and will trap air inside the bottle. If there is air inside your mascara, it will dry quickly and some bacteria might appear. You can coat your brush by turning it gently into the container.
You should never carry around tons of makeup. Just pick the items you enjoy most, including the proper seasonal colors. You may also want to have separate day and evening makeup kits. Unused makeup can undergo unpleasant chemical changes once opened if left for extended periods of time. Makeup products can harbor bacteria, which can be transfered to your eyes and skin when applied.
Clean your closet out. While you may think having more clothes means you have more options, this is not the truth. A closet that is packed full and is cluttered only limits you. Get rid of clothes that you don't wear anymore so you know what options you have available. A few pieces that are versatile and tasteful are more useful than old clothes you'll never wear again.
There are many different hair accessory options. Choose from a variety of headbands and hair ties to complement your style. It's a good idea to have a variety of these items to complement your wardrobe. You want to wear a different hairstyle for different occasions so that you can mix things up. So before you go out, make sure you're carrying a few accessories with you.
For boots and sandals, wedged heels are hot. Due to the shape and style of the shoe if they are worn with the right clothes they can have a slimming affect and of course they will increase your height as well. When you're getting a pair of heels that are wedged, you have to remember that if they're too think, they could be impossible to walk in.
Find conditioner that can help you with your hair if it frizzes. The cuticles of your hair will be protected from moisture by a layer created during the application. Avoid products which create volume; this includes products containing wheat or rice.
If you want to add some pizzazz during those warm-weather months, try dying your hair a brighter, bolder color. However, don't do it too often or your hair will get unhealthy. A great way to hold the color for longer is to find a great conditioner to use on your hair. Hot-oil treatments are great for keeping the color vibrant.
Before throwing away your beauty products, get out every little bit. If you want to get the last little bit out of products that come in tubes, use toothpaste squeezers. Turn a bottle upside down so you are sure to gather the final dabs of your products. Consider removing squeeze tops altogether as you reach the bottom so you can draw out the remaining supply. You'll be surprised at how much money you save.
Mousse is a great way to volumize your hair, but be careful not to go overboard. Some people are going for that 80's look, but it looked bad then and worse now.
In the summer, highlighting your hair in a different color is a great way to add pizzazz to your wardrobe. Make sure that you try and keep up with it so it doesn't look faded. Buy a good conditioner to keep your hair and the color bright and healthy.
Good fashion is not all about finding a great outfit, it is necessary for you to find matching shoes. It is a good idea for your belt and shoes to be the same color. This gives you a great fashionable look.
Give thin hair more volume by applying a small amount of mousse. The big hairstyles of the 1980s are making a comeback, but in truth, many of those styles weren't terribly flattering the first time around.
Try not to feel bad if someone makes a negative comment about how you dress. Everyone need not look like a celebrity on the red carpet when they dress. The object is to feel as comfortable as possible during the day, while maintaining a suitable look.
You should always be open to experimentation when it comes to fashion. You will not realize if a certain item will look nice on you until the time you put it on. Mixing and matching is a great way to play with colors, materials, styles, etc. You will look marvelous and create a look you love by giving yourself more options.
Do not hesitate to experiment with new things even if this goes against current fashion trends. You won't know how it looks until you try. Find colors, patterns, fabrics and cuts that go well together. This is a good way to put together a very personal outfit that reflects your personality.
Your hairstyle says a lot about you. Therefore, it is imperative that your hairstyle represents who you are. Women in business need to have a classic, powerful look. If, however, you are an on-the-go mom, opt for a style that you can wash and go.
Solid colors reduce the amount of attention to your body. Solid bottoms will open the gate to more elaborate tops that can get you attention. Choose dark pants and a lighter top to look more professional while remaining accessible and honest.
Where do you want eyes to fall? Your use of solid colors will dictate where people look first. Solid colored skirts and pants can help ornate or bright blouses and shirts gain more attention. Darker colors on the bottom will lead the eyes upward and help you establish eye contact and hold it.
Place a small sewing kit in your handbag or briefcase for quick access when small emergencies strike. If seams rip or a zipper bursts, you have the means to fix it immediately to save yourself from embarrassment. If you are prepared for problems, you can avoid having any embarrassing moments and fix minor problems if they arise.
Use solid colors to compensate for your weight. If you are overweight, wearing dark clothing can make you appear smaller since they're drawing light in. On the opposite side of the coin, if you are petite, lighter, brighter and bolder colors will lengthen you in a favorable way.
Come up with a personal clothes budget each month. Now that you would like to improve upon your wardrobe, you need to place limits on the total amount you are spending to avoid problems paying other bills. It is possible to buy plenty of clothes and still stay within your budget.
Do not include too many accessories when you are forming an outfit. You should try to only wear one accessory. When you do that, everyone will focus on the piece and your overall look will seem clean and organized.
Check out your local thrift store. It doesn't matter if your prefer bargain deals or vintage looks. You should not rule out thrift stores. There are lots of diamonds hidden within the garbage. You just might find your next favorite pair of jeans or the perfect dress for any occasion, and at an amazing price to boot.
Accessorizing is the key to a perfect ensemble. Accentuate your outfit with bracelets, earrings, pendants, watches and other great accent pieces. The proper hairstyle and shoes are also a must. You can find some great information in many different magazines on making great outfits.
Never let anyone else try to influence your decisions on what to wear. Your style is what matters, not whether it's right or wrong. Make sure that your style complements your attributes, though. If someone tells you what you need to wear, politely remind them that they can dress themselves.
Don't shy away from adding color to your look. Consider that well dressed man wearing a pink dress shirt; it not only looks good, but it is also complements the man's skin tones and eye color. You can use colors such as yellow, orange, red, pink, purple, and deep blue to spice up your black dress pants or blue jeans. Save the boring tones for work.
Research new fashion trends online. There is plenty of information online that is available when you do a little research. Even if this doesn't seem appealing to you, you are going to want to try it out to see what you can find with a little research.
Thrift Stores
Dress to fit your personality. It is very common for people to try to wear trendy fashions even when they don't compliment the individual. For a look that never comes off as phony, wear styles that reflect the real you. Claim your style as your own, whether it is high-fashion or low maintenance.
Try thrift stores for fashion ideas. Don't rule out thrift stores for finding your next great item. Although you may find plenty of fashion no-nos and outdated items, there are also numerous wardrobe treasures to be found. Until start searching, you won't know where those future favorite articles of clothing are hidden.
Be sure you have space where you store clothes in your closet. If your clothing is too tightly stored, your clothes can get damaged. There should be an inch or two of space between each item that is in your closet.
Never let someone else make you wear something. The "right style" does not exist. Everyone has to make their own decisions about what fashion trends they want to follow. If anyone tries to tell you what to wear or not wear, politely let them know that you do not care what they think.
Using a bronzer on the underside of your cheekbones can give the appearance of higher cheekbones. This will give them the appearance of being much higher. High cheek bones will keep you looking in style. This easy tip will make you appear thinner and help you look your best.
There are thousands of fashion magazines that can help you to stay in the know about the fashion world. That way you have something to look at that can help you think of some new things that you want to keep up with when it comes to fashion.
Although it is a challenge to find just the right swimsuit, it is still important. It has to flatter the look of your body. Smaller busts require the correct top. It is a great idea to have a little padding in any suit if you are smaller in the bust.
As you have seen, you don't need a ton of money to achieve a new look. Keep learning all you can, and you'll become known as a fashionista in your circle before you know it.
When trying to look your best always pay attention to the littlest details. Many people dress to the nines but forget a small detail, like a nice watch, that would make the whole ensemble come together. When traveling, bring along good luggage and more than just one umbrella for rainy days.

A funeral mass has been held in Madrid for Father Miguel Pajares was the first European to die of the deadly Ebola virus. The missionary's body was cremated on Tuesday after he failed to respond to treatment with an experimental drug.
He had returned from Liberia last week and was treated in Madrid where he died. Officials were quick to stress that strict health procedures had been followed.
"The procedure has demonstrated we have an alert system that works perfectly, that we have protocols that are followed and there is good coordination. But unfortunately today the results which we had hoped for have not been favourable because the medicine we brought to Spain did not work," Ana Mato, Spanish Health Minister told reporters.
The Ivory Coast is the latest country to impose travel restrictions banning flights from Liberia and Guinea. Authorities have also announced increased health inspections at the country's borders.
Germany has urged its nationals to leave Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leone. The move comes after a meeting on Wednesday by the government's crisis management group to discuss the threat of the Ebola virus.
The outbreak of the virus is the world's largest and deadliest. To date more than 1,000 people have died.

Today, audio manufacturer Braven announced three new Bluetooth speaker models: the 850, the BRV-1, and the 570. Let's have a look at the newbies.
Check out our review of the Braven 850 bluetooth speaker.
Similar to the well-known Six Series, the 850 is much larger than its kin, focusing on powerful, room-dominating sound. Sans meaningful specs (as we are at the moment), that's difficult to confirm or deny, but the almost foot-long aluminum-clad speaker has more than one trick up its sleeve. The 850 is said to charge 2.1A devices like tablets and certain cellular devices, a feature virtually unheard of from a Bluetooth speaker.
Price: $300
Availability: TBA
Check out our review of the Braven BRV-1 bluetooth speaker.
The BRV-1 is billed as a more rugged speaker, one that can accompany you on outdoor adventures. Water-resistant, shock-absorbent, and ultra-lightweight, the small-but-spunky BRV-1 plays for 12 hours at a clip. Oh, and as a side note, it also sports a pretty sweet Tron-like design.
Price: $170
Availability: February 2013
If your wallet isn't as flush as you'd like, the 570 is tailored to the budget-conscious consumer. According to Braven, the 570's audio signature is identical to the more-expensive Six Series. The speaker can churn out that signature for a solid 10 hours at a time and features an impact-resistant polymer case if you're the klutzy type.
Price: $120
Availability: January 2013
Seems like a nice lineup overall. We're always a little leery without certain specs, but check out our review of the Braven 600 to get an idea of how we've felt about their speakers in the past.

STEELE VICTIM OF IHEART'S ECONOMICS In 1971, Dan Steele, whose real name is Louis Braasch begins his radio career in Harrisburg, PA as a part-timer on WKBO-1230. Over the years his voice is on KTSA San Antonio; WPGC FM Washington; and WFEC, WSFM and WHBO in Harrisburg. For 12 years, Dan Steele co-hosts the morning drive show with RJ Harris on iHeartMedia News/Talk WHP-580 Harrisburg. The 69 year old Steele tells Talkers magazine that he is a victim of iHeartMedia's economics and is no longer there.
MOONVES WANTS TO SPIN OFF CBS RADIO CBS CEO Les Moonves tells XEPRS (The Mighty 1090) talk personality Dan Sileo that radio is a slow-growth business compared to video. Les says he's bullish on the ability of CBS Radio's 117 stations to function as a great stand-alone company. Is this a hint that CBS will expunge itself from its long time radio interests? Moonves tells Sileo that the current business is a world for us that is keyed in video. Radio is still a wonderful, wonderful business. So our intent is to spin off radio.
VIACOM SLASHES REDSTONE'S PAY Viacom reduces its 92-year-old Executive Chairman Sumner Redstone's total pay by 85 percent to $2 million in light of his reduced responsibilities. Viacom increases Chief Executive Philippe Dauman's total compensation to $54.2 million for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2015, up from $44.3 million. A recent lawsuit claims that Viacom and CBS Corp, where Redstone is also executive chairman, improperly pays millions for his services even though he is incapacitated.

DERRILL E. HOLLY [Sr Writer-Editor, Electric Co-op Today, National Rural Electric Cooperative, ex KIKK FM] (Arlington, VA/Washington, DC) Jim, many of us have friends who have been battered, disrespected and assaulted by ClearChannel/iHeart over the years. Radio was a business filled with friendly, good natured people who loved their craft and for the most part only wanted to entertain and inform audiences. Nice people deserved much better treatment. The end of iHeart Media may not save radio, but in many ways for an industry we once loved it will be like the dawning of a new day and a chance at real recovery.

BILL CHERRY [Realtor, In late 1950s Music 'til Dawn host on WWL-870] (Dallas, TX) Jack Davis is an old time DJ in the Dallas market. There is what I think is a screwed up AM station, KAAM, that I believe is primarily surly because they run paid programs of cancer doctors, fake medicine men, financial advisors (at least one of whom doesn't know his butt from first base, and has lost his securities and his insurance licenses) who tend to prey on the elderly. In their defense, there are also some good advertorials. Nevertheless, Jack is on the morning shift. Apparently management leaves him alone. He does a remarkably good job. If you think about it, tune him in sometime. 770.
TRIVIA ANSWER: On April 7, 1958, the Capitol records label officially stops issuing 78 rpm records.
CHARLES GEORGE [KC5RAI – ex KCHU FM] (Dallas, TX) Subject: Moving On. I see that the founder of ETWN, Mother Mary Angelica passed away on Easter. I use to listen occasionally to ETWN on shortwave. I also found out that Don Wolff who did a jazz Show on KMOX passed away on Nov 22. He was a Criminal Defense Attorney, I once wrote a letter to KMOX to request a song and he sent me back a letter telling me when he would play the song on his show. I was running some errands today and fell on the sidewalk, since it changed contours. Anyway a teen happened by and goes you need help, no just need to get up. He was a black guy, so I thought why is it we only hear bad a person's rather than the good they do. Like in Politics we hear them deriving their opposition without saying how they would do things differently if at all. I found my leg it only hurts when I am getting up and down from certain chairs. Walking seems to be no problem. The problems of getting older. I just watched an older movie with Michael Keaton, The Paper. I like that he can do both Dramatic and Comedy, Charles George
