Michael Douglas never even took off his wedding ring.
That's how confident the actor was that he and Catherine Zeta-Joneswould reconcile after problems prompted them to start primarily living apart in 2012, Douglas based at their Manhattan residence and his wife remaining at their estate in Bedford, N.Y.
"Onwards and upwards," he told E! News in upbeat fashion in October 2013, two months after he and Zeta-Jones revealed they had taken "time apart to evaluate and work on their marriage." He elaborated on The Tonight Show days later, "Sometimes people take a little bit of a break, but it doesn't necessarily mean that's the end. I'm very hopeful."
Maybe that positive attitude was the key—to their eventual reunion and for their overall well-being after the couple were hit with a perfect storm of troubles before their timeout.
In May 2010, Cameron Douglas, Douglas' son from his first marriage, was sentenced to five years in prison on drug charges. The Oscar-winning actor and producer was present for his son's sentencing, which he later called "adequate" for the crime—as well as possibly a life saver, because it forced Cameron to get clean.
Douglas—reminiscent of the guilt his own father, screen legend Kirk Douglas, felt over the breakup of his first marriage when Michael was young—admitted on Today that he too had put career before family. "I've also confessed the fact that I was in rehab 20 years ago. So we had that issue, and as far as his mother was concerned, she was a very young mother when she had Cameron, and her skills were limited to such an extent. The other part, of course, is genes. I lost a brother [Eric Douglas] with an overdose four years ago. I have another brother who has been on the program for years."
The Fatal Attraction star wrote to the judge in a note asking for leniency, "I have some idea of the pressure of finding your own identity with a famous father...I do believe out of this adversity he will be a positive citizen. I don't want to see him break."
Eerily, soon Michael Douglas would be fighting for his own survival.

In the summer of 2010, the actor was diagnosed with what turned out to be stage-four tongue cancer—a revelation he was reluctant to make at the time, so he initially had his publicist say throat cancer. He also may not have wanted to say anything at all, but he was about to go to Europe to promote Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps when he got the news.
"There's no way we can cancel the tour and say we don't feel well," Douglas later said on the U.K. talk show This Morning. "I said, 'You've just got to come out and just tell them I've got cancer and that's it.'"
He immediately embarked on a course of radiation and chemotherapy and he expressed nothing but optimism publicly, but his treatment did postpone production on the years-in-the-making Liberace biopic Behind the Candelabra (which, eventually, Douglas would win an Emmy and a Golden Globe for and find increasingly creative ways to thank co-star Matt Damon). Douglas has since jovially said that the cancer diagnosis gave him an extra year to sharpen his piano skills and perfect Liberace's cadence and mannerisms.
"When Michael was diagnosed with cancer I really thought, 'You are going to have to wipe me off the floor,'" Zeta-Jones later opened up to Stella magazine. "This happens to people all the time, but it's still a huge shock when the cards start to fall and you realize, 'My God, it really is happening to us.'"
"I thought I didn't have the tools to cope," the Oscar winner continued. "But it's amazing where the strength comes from—from family and friends, from strangers supporting us."
As for Douglas, what the public was hearing was reminiscent of his actual attitude.
"He's a very matter-of-fact person," Zeta-Jones, who met her husband in 1999 at the Deauville Film Festival and married him in 2000 at New York's Plaza Hotel, continued. "Once he was diagnosed he was like, 'Okay, what do I do?' He basically wanted that thing out of his body so he just blitzed the [sucker]. It was very intensive... but he still retained his sense of humor."
That being said, chemo and radiation zapped his energy and he lost 40 pounds.

Zeta-Jones told Stella, "He was very open with the children. No secrets—they went and saw him having treatment. Together we all coped with everything. It did make us closer. But I wouldn't wish it on anybody."
On the red carpet the Golden Globes in January 2011, where he was greeted with a standing ovation when he appeared as a presenter ("there's got to be an easier way to get a standing ovation," he quipped), Douglas told E! News that he was cancer-free.
The following month, Zeta-Jones was at Buckingham Palace to receive a Commander of the Order of the British Empire medal—a CBE—from Prince Charles.
Soon after, however, it was the Chicago star who needed time to heal. She checked into a facility to be treated for bipolar disorder, her revelation that she lived with the condition a major moment at the time for the public conversation about mental health, and the ongoing quest to erase the stigma attached to mental illness.
"After dealing with the stress of the past year, Catherine made the decision to check in to a mental health facility for a brief stay to treat her Bipolar II Disorder," her rep stated that April.
"This is a disorder that affects millions of people, and I am one of them," Zeta-Jones later told People. "If my revelation of having bipolar II has encouraged one person to seek help, then it is worth it," she said. "There is no need to suffer silently and there is no shame in seeking help."
She further told InStyle in 2012, "I'm not the kind of person who likes to shout out my personal issues from the rooftops. But with my bipolar becoming public, I hope fellow sufferers will know it's completely controllable. I hope I can help remove any stigma attached to it."
Referring to Douglas' cancer battle, Zeta-Jones told Stella, "When you get sideswiped like that, it's an obvious trigger for your balance to be a little bit off—not sleeping, worry, stress. It's a classic trigger."

Meanwhile, Zeta-Jones and Douglas started spending more and more time apart, which was made easier by respectively busy schedules and owning multiple homes. Zeta-Jones returned to treatment to monitor her bipolar disorder in April 2013, her rep explaining that she was committed to "periodic care in order to manage her health in an optimum manner." She spent about a month there.
Douglas then made all sorts of headlines that June when he said in an interview with The Guardian his cancer could have been caused by a certain strain of HPV, a sexually transmitted disease that men can contract through oral sex.
"I did worry if the stress caused by my son's incarceration didn't help trigger it," he continued. "But yeah, it's a sexually transmitted disease that causes cancer. And if you have it, cunnilingus is also the best cure for it." In all seriousness, however, Douglas was doing a public service by raising awareness of the risks associated with HPV, which was his intention.
With everything going on, the couple didn't confirm until August 2013 that they were taking a break—but even then, Douglas insisted it wasn't a separation or a break-up. "My wife and I are fine," he said weeks later, per USA Today, calling their situation "temporary."
"Her issues and his cancer have been very stressful for the pair of them," a source told E! News at the time. "Their friends are shocked. None of them ever thought Michael would leave her." Another source added, "It's not bipolar episodes that have driven them apart, it's just happened naturally. They like different things. He likes the city, he only moved [to Bedford] for her, as she loves horses and playing golf."
That being said, a third source said they were "definitely still a couple" and there was no "obvious reason to get divorced," since they had the means to give each other plenty of space while still co-parenting son Dylan and daughter Carys.

That October Douglas finally revealed that he had actually had tongue cancer, and that it was his doctor who advised him to call it throat cancer—because there was a chance he'd have to undergo disfiguring surgery on his tongue and it could affect career prospects.
Luckily by 2013, "with my type of cancer, if you're clean after two years, there's a 95 percent chance it's not coming back," Douglas said.
By Hollywood standards, there seemingly was a 95 percent chance of his marriage not coming back either; but lo and behold, that December he and Zeta-Jones were spotted for the first time in months with their kids, wedding rings on. They took Dylan and Carys to the Super Bowl in February and in April 2014 they were back on the red carpet as a couple.

They appeared together at the International Federation of Head and Neck Oncologic Societies 5th World Congress that July.
"I'm very happy to be here this morning with my husband," said Zeta-Jones, who also shared a Sept. 25 birthday with Douglas, who's 25 years her senior. "I mean that literally. I'm very happy to be here with my husband."
Recalling Douglas' struggle, she said, "I was a mess. I'll be quite frank, I was a mess. When I'm married to a man who has such a conviction for life...he fights to make the wrongs right. For the first time he was fighting for his life."
Douglas told the audience, "Generally when I'm on a stage at a prestige event like this I'm accepting some kind of an award." But "[I'm] grateful not to walk out of here with another prognosis."
"In all seriousness and in every sense of the word," he added, "I'm very fortunate to be here today."

Grateful for their second chance in every sense of the world, the couple even sold their old Bedford home, the one where Zeta-Jones weathered their split, and purchased a new one—a 19th-century colonial mansion with eight bedrooms and 13.5 bathrooms that cost them $11.25 million.
Reconciliations are possible "if both of you are willing, you know," to put in the work, Douglas said on The Ellen DeGeneres Show in 2015. "It can't be a one-way street. I'm crazy about her...I think every couple has their difficult times. The only problem is, as you well know, we're all in the public eye and it tends to get a little more exposed than most. But we're back, stronger than ever."
Or as he described it to Event magazine that summer, "We had a little bump in the road. The problem in this business is that everything is so public. I love Catherine as much, more than I ever have. And hopefully the feeling's mutual.
"We worked things out—if both people want to work something out and make it better, you can do it. You can't do it if it's just one person."

And he was just so damn happy to be alive.
Chemo and radiation were "like the seven circles of hell," but eventually his situation "got better. Then it even got good."
"From a point where you think you may never work again, or speak again, I got probably one of the best parts I've ever had," he recalled, referring to Behind the Candelabra. "It played a key part in this renaissance that's happened for me...I was ecstatic. It feels like a rebirth after you go through cancer and you come out of it. You feel like you're a child.
"You see priorities differently. You have a much deeper appreciation of marriage, of your children—you see everything a little bit clearer, and a little brighter."
In February 2016, he told ET that his favorite showbiz moment to date was meeting his wife in Deauville. His wife, meanwhile, said, "I think giving birth to two of my kids, and him being the first one to hold them was pretty amazing."
Douglas, who right now is starring in the Netflix comedy series The Kominsky Method, has since become a grandfather and has yet to cease embracing every opportunity to expand his horizons.

Cameron was released from prison in 2016 after seven years—which was early, after a judge tacked four and a half additional years onto his five-year sentence in 2011 for having drugs in prison.
He and Viviane Thibes welcomed a daughter, Lua Izzy, last December. Earlier this month, Cameron joined his dad, stepmom and his 101-year-old grandfather Kirk Douglas in Hollywood as Michael was honored with a star on the Walk of Fame.
"My family never gave up on me, not for one second," Cameron told Britain's Press Association in February. "Catherine is a scrapper, she's someone who came from Wales and clawed her way up to the very top through sheer talent and determination. She never gives up on anything and she didn't quit on me. The love of my family got me through my darkest days."
Fred Duval/FilmMagic
Speaking of determination, Zeta-Jones played Olivia de Havilland in Feud: Bette and Joan last year and next she stars in Queen America, a dark comedy about the pageant world, which premieres tonight on Facebook Watch—making for a double celebration along with her and Douglas' 18th wedding anniversary.
"I think understanding, listening, being friends, all helps," she told ET last year, revealing a few secrets about how they made it to 17 years at the time. Douglas added, "I think mutual respect. I admire Catherine so much and in so many ways—as a mother, as an actress, and now as a business woman."
Being able to deal with change is important—and optimism obviously doesn't hurt.

Picked this blueray up while in Tesco's 500 Days of Summer. I didn't quiet read it right. I thought it was going to be 500 days of summer . And I was wrong. It was about 500 day of summer. A great film actually and reminded me of Lost In Translation. Simply if you don't like to one your not going to like the other. As it says on the box quiet clearly This is not a love story but a story about love. Either way I should have relieased no summer is 500 days long doh.

I've gone back to a Paper Planner for Writing. Bliss!/
I have always been organized. My granny gave me a little leather planner with a grown up pen when I was eleven or twelve. We were just back from coming stateside, and my adjustment had been rough. I didn't like American school's, television, or clothes. The weather was hot, and the mosquitoes in Louisiana could eat a person whole.
I can still see the little notebook in my head. It was black fake leather with yellow and pink things on the outside. Inside there were pockets, a pen loop and a calendar with places to write all the important secrets a pre-teen wants to remember.
Many of my female characters are organized. I can't help myself. Part of who I am goes into every character, so yeah, they are planners. They use real calendars. They don't forget appointments, show up late, or ask for forgiveness because they didn't plan for something. They are the movers and shakers who execute a focused plan to get to their goal.
I've never lost the taste for a planner. Bit by the bug, I have carried one my entire life. I've watched the industry blossom them fade, and now it's having a comeback. For a few years, the only planners I could find were in an office supply store. Dayspring, Franklin Covey and a few others survived, but the market shrank to almost nothing.
A year ago, I saw a post on Facebook about an Erin Condren Planner. I didn't even care what it looked like. I wanted to try something new. Then I found out I could buy stickers for the planner and decorate it by following planner divas on Youtube. My wallet hasn't been the same.
I entered a whole new world filled with lots of ways to spend money on pretty things and be organized at the same time. It's now been 12 months. I've gone from trying to use my Google Calendar to keep up with all of my stuff, to using three different planners. If I didn't think my guy's head would spin around and pop off, I'd probably buy another one. I mean there are just so many to pick from.
I've tracked my writing several ways. My favorite being a spreadsheet with my word count, but as the year has gone on, I have made commitments to take classes, learn social media management, write for the website, start a newsletter, take part in a critique group and try not to lose my mind while writing a few books. (I'm exhausted writing that all out.)
I needed a planner for actual business purposes. At least, that's what I told my guy when the new Inkwell Press planner showed up! It's taken me a few weeks, but my productive focus has improved by about 120 percent. Being able to write specific things in as long a sentence as I want, leaves me getting something business related done every single day.
My writing isn't going barn burners since I seem to be afraid to write the ending scene. I need a therapist to figure out what that's about, but it's ok. I did great with my social plan, I read a writing book, I updated the blog, participated in my classes. Really, I got a ton done, and I have the little check marks to prove it.
Let's talk planners. Maybe next week, I will talk about actual planning and goal setting? You guys can let me know.
Here are the three I am using:
Erin Condren: Here is a picture of before and after I decorate my ECLP. This is how I use it week to week. I track more life stuff in here than anything else. Details go in this one. I track meals, money spent, big five or six items I want to get done, daily tasks, hydration, appointments, all kinds of stuff. I even put in pictures using my Polaroid zip printer. This planner never leaves my house.
Personal Sized: A Michael's Recollections binder with Sew Much Crafting Inserts inside. Here is a picture of before and after decorating. This is how I set up the weeks in this one. I carry my personal size in my purse. I love it for high level details. I keep some business stuff in here, but mostly this one is for the big things I don't want to forget, notes, shopping lists, and holiday tracking.
InkWell Press Planner: Here is a photo of before and after decoarting next week. I use this for my writing business only. I write anything I want to accomplish for the week. For instance, next week is a plot planning week for another book. I think I want to keep all other distractions to a minimum. Life doesn't stop though. I will have a critique group meeting with work to read and love over. Social media is non-stop. I will have one class to finish. Still plenty of stuff to put in the pages, and more than enough to keep me occupied.
Planners are so much fun for me. I enjoy them. If you have never tried them, poke about and find one that suits your needs. Don't give up if the first one doesn't work for you.
Next week we can talk about how not to over plan, how to be flexible while planning, and how planning can help you balance your business, family and friends needs. Life happens in between all the other stuff. Planning can give you the freedom to take the time to enjoy those moments whether they were planned or spontaneous.
Leave a comment below. I would love to hear how you use your planner!

Chef Joseba Jimenez de Jimenez and his wife and business partner Carolin Messier de Jimenez, owners of Harvest Vine and Txori, have filed for divorce. Their business — which began as a catering concern, grew into a minuscule Madison Valley tapas bar, expanded not once but twice and begat a Basque-style Belltown pixtos bar meant to help finance the dream of a 12-acre chateau in Southwest France — is now run solely by Carolin. Meanwhile, Joseba, who proudly wears a Basque's beret and his heart on his sleeve, is wearing a new hat: one that has him overseeing their restaurants as founder and "consulting chef." Internationally renown chef Joseba Jimenez de Jimenez, wearing his heart on his sleeve. Perhaps you've heard the gossip surrounding the splitting of their sheets? If so, you're not alone. If they weren't so sick of hearing it themselves, insists Carolin, the gossip-mongering would be funny. "It was really upsetting when my manager came to me and said people were blogging about my divorce. It's appalling!" When she was twice seen at a friend's restaurant with a date, the "news" went viral. Her take on the blogospherific blah-blah-blah? "I'm not that interesting! A: who cares? B: Leave me alone." Joseba finds the anonymous character attacks on them both exceedingly offensive, and agrees with Carolin who says their personal life is none of anybody's business. "Those people need to get the facts together before they open their mouths," he says. And here are those facts, straight from the horses' mouths: "I'm buying Joseph out," says Carolin, who calls her husband by his Anglicized name and is now going by her maiden name, Messier. Which, pronounced the way it's spelled, defines the opposite of the way they hope the denouement of their divorce will go. "He'll be involved for a minimum of 12 months," she says, describing the "parenting plan" for running their business. "This is a completely mutual break-up. We both agreed it should have happened years ago." Carolin Messier — hold the Jimenez — at Harvest Vine. Recent years have been emotionally, mentally and financially exhausting, Carolin says, and her husband concurs, explaining, "We grew away from a unified idea of how we should be doing business." There was talk of moving to Spain, but, says Carolin, "We both love the restaurants and I made the point that in this economy, the restaurants can't survive an absentee owner." As for why she got the restaurants instead of him, "It could have gone either way," Carolin says. "When we first started [discussions] I was just done. I wanted out. Joseph had no interest in taking over Txori. He saw that as my project from the get-go and has never actively worked there." The chef's leave-taking, she says, has been a transition that's "a long time coming," as he's worked on various projects (including their chateau in Southwest France, now for sale). "He wanted to do so many other things," says Carolin, who graduated from Sammamish High and later the culinary and pastry program at Seattle Central Community College. In the end, they decided that due to their divergent interests, their financial situation and their hopes for the future, her buy-out "just made sense for both of us." "I feel very sad about leaving the business," admits Joseba, but it's a good change." One that's allowing him to pursue a new international venture — offering gastronomic and enological tours, consulting with restaurateurs, developing recipes and training other chefs here in Seattle and farther afield. During the next year or so, we'll find him hosting the occasional "Guest Chef" dinner at Harvest Vine (and elsewhere, including this upcoming gig at Olivar), teaching a class or two and consulting with his friend and successor, Joey Serquinia — now overseeing the restaurant kitchens at Harvest Vine and Txori as corporate executive chef. Joey Serquinia, prince of pinxtos, at Txori in Belltown Serquinia has worked for and with the couple on and off since they had their catering business and has been running the kitchen at Txori since it opened two years ago. "He's a man I totally respect," says Joseba. "He appreciates classical Basque and Spanish cuisine — not going crazy, going here or there" with the menu. "He likes it authentic." It should be business as usual at the two restaurants, the couple insists. And as anyone who spends much time at Harvest Vine will tell you, it's not unusual to find someone other than the bodacious Basque at the stove. Rest assured, says Joseba, you'll still find their warm and wonderful Argentinean waiter Juan Carlos tending tables — as he has for years. That's Kylen McCarthy, dishing up "family dinner" to Juan Carlos after a busy shift. He's been promoted to No. 1 chef at Harvest Vine, where he'll be overseen by Joey Serquinia. Carolin says their longtime friend and general manager Jeff Watanabe has been a lifesaver, managing both restaurants during the rollercoaster ride the couple (and not incidentally, their employees) have been on of late. "My staff has been incredible. I've leaned on them a lot, though not intentionally" — as the divorce proceedings have played out. "I'm so pleased with everyone now, and I enjoy going to work every day." Joseba feels confident their management team can continue to run the business the couple nurtured together. Whatever may have happened in their personal life, he says, "business is business." Sad though he may be to relinquish the reins of Harvest Vine, "I hope the people of Seattle — and the United States, because we have people come here from all over — can give it a chance without me," he says. Yes, he'll miss playing the role of the patron, though he's already hatching plans to one day open another Seattle restaurant, so stay tuned for that. Joseba will be missed at Harvest Vine as well, says his wife, who still recalls the early years when, to the delight and amazement of their customers, he once came dancing out of the prep-room in their tiny tapas bar with a six-foot octopus draped around his neck. She won't forget how "he'd flirt with a little kid behind the bar, bring him back and teach him how to fry an egg," and she'll always remember him for his generosity. A few years after they opened Harvest Vine, a regular customer came in to tell them she was moving to San Francisco and would dearly miss the place. "He took off his expensive Brigard embroidered jacket," recalls Carolin (noting they were absolutely broke at that time) and gave it to her. "He said, `Take this, so you'll remember us while you're cooking in San Francisco.'" Another couple came in weekly and ordered a $75 bottle of rioja. When the dot.com industry crashed, the guy's job crashed with it. "They came in and said, `This is the last time you're going to see us for a while,'" remembers Carolin, and instead of their usual bottle of Marques de Riscal Baron de Chirel, they ordered the winery's $30 label. Joseba brought out the $75 wine and uncorked it — on the house. "Those are the things I'm really going to miss about Joseph," Carolin says of the man she still "adores" — and whose name remains synonymous with Harvest Vine. That, and his braised pork belly with trout caviar. "We've created a magical place together. We just kept changing it and expanding it and I miss those early days. They were hard as hell, but I miss them." For Joseba Jimenez de Jimenez, seen here at his beloved Harvest Vine, breaking up is hard to do — but "business is business."

Thanks for visiting! Help me support the Suicide Prevention Education Alliance (SPEA) by sponsoring my attempt at the Cleveland Half Marathon on May 19th. While running the half marathon is a personal achievement that means a great deal to me, I would love for it to benefit someone else as well.
As most of you know, I have been involved with SPEA here in Northeast Ohio for four years now, and couldn't think of a better organization to raise money for. Their lifesaving mission is to deliver their proven program, Recognizing Teen Depression and Preventing Suicide, to students in 116 area high schools. In 2013 alone, they will serve 15,500 local teens.
Thanks so much for the support!

Good morning, and happy Valentine's Day. Here's the Digest.
1. Lots of cooperation at the Capitol…for now. Gov. Mark Dayton and Republican legislative leaders made their first joint public appearance Tuesday since last year's bitter court fight over the governor's veto of money for the House and Senate. Both sides said they're moving on from that episode and plan to work together when the 2018 session begins next week. "There are areas where the people have a right to expect us to work together. I'm prepared to do that. I think the leaders have indicted the same. We should proceed on that basis," Dayton said. But there are already differences between Republicans and Democrats over what should be in the bill to restore funding for the House and Senate. (MPR News)
2. St. Paul schools face a deficit. The St. Paul school district is projecting a $17 million budget gap for next year. The budget projection presented at a board meeting Tuesday is preliminary because it simply rolls over the current year's spending with adjustments for inflation and expected changes in revenue. Marie Schrul, the chief financial officer for St. Paul schools, said the estimated gap will likely shrink with one-time spending from the current year removed. Still, filling the projected gap will likely require cuts. Schrul said district officials will make choices about cuts in the coming months, as they aim to create a balanced budget. "We fund the schools first, and we create the budgets for the schools making sure they're viable then we do the allocations for the programs. The programs are where we look at other ways for efficiencies," Schrul said. "We've been very lean the past few years." (MPR News)
3. Police are catching people with large amounts of marijuana. Police officers are Officials in Minnesota and North Dakota say nationally, drugs have become more readily available, leading to the increasing drug traffic they're seeing on the region's roads. Drug arrests in North Dakota rose 60 percent from 2012 to 2017 with the same level of enforcement, said North Dakota Highway Patrol Lt. Michael Roark. The Minnesota State Patrol seized 2,600 pounds of marijuana last year, more than a six-fold increase from the 390 pounds seized in 2016. Most of it is coming from Oregon, Colorado and California, all states where there is a legal marijuana industry, he said. Beyond marijuana, Minnesota is seeing "huge amounts of methamphetamine, marijuana, marijuana concentrate and now cocaine being transported in to the state," Brian Marquart of the state patrol said. (MPR News)
4. Lawmaker with personal experience to chair addiction task force. The Minnesota House is creating a new Task Force on Addiction and Recovery to study the growing drug and alcohol abuse crisis in the state. At its helm is a state lawmaker who is now publicly revealing his own lifetime struggle with addiction. "I like to think that it was fate," said Republican state Rep. Keith Franke of St. Paul Park. Life could have turned out much differently for Franke. As a young man, he was convicted of multiple DWIs, was in and out of jail, and returned again and again to drug and alcohol treatment programs. "Trouble always seemed to find me," Franke said. "Or I was always looking for it. I don't know which one." Franke's clean and sober 20 years now. (WCCO TV)
5. Minneapolis is without a chief resilience officer. The chief resilience officer of Minneapolis, Kate Knuth, has stepped down after seven months on the job. Hired for the grant-funded position in June, Knuth brought a background in sustainability to the position, which was defined broadly as responding to "challenges" facing the city. She had not delivered any work product before she resigned. Mychal Vlatkovich, a spokesman for Mayor Jacob Frey, said they've begun looking for a replacement and hope to hire someone by the end of March, who will focus specifically on the mayor's priorities. He said Knuth was not asked to step down, but declined to answer whether she was allowed to continue in the position. "The position is designed to reflect the priorities of the administration, and in this case we're going to be focused more narrowly on expanding access to affordable housing, and the impact that would have on our other goals, including building an inclusive economy and strenthening police-community relations," Vlatkovich said.

Hot Foil Stamped Paper Napkins with Logo. Hot Foil Stamp your logo onto paper cocktail or luncheon napkins! Choose from a variety of ink colors- including Gold and Silver! These are hot foil stamped napkins which is a special printing process unlike the traditional screen printing. Hot foil stamped napkins use heat to transfer a metallic foil such as gold, silver, or a pigment directly to the napkin. This results in a much more vibrant and embossed look to your personalized napkin printed with your company logo on them and will make your napkins stand out at your event.
We print your napkins using a high quality FDA approved food grade ink. Beware of napkin printers that either do not use food grade ink or print napkins with an ink jet process(which causes the ink to smear or run when wet).
A NOTE ABOUT SHIPPING AND ORDER PROCESSING: We'll provide you a free proof by email or fax in most cases the same day you order (M-F) if you request one. We generally will print the order the same day and ship that day or next day (orders received before 12 noon CST are usually printed same day and can be expected to arrive within 4-5 business days after we ship). With standard delivery expect to receive your order about 4-5 days after your order is printed and shipped. For rush delivery you can have your order tomorrow if you choose next day shipping and your order is placed before 12pm CST on a weekday! (There is an extra charge for FEDEX if you need Saturday delivery).

To make the world a better place through intelligent and effective design.
People see. Designers look. The difference may seem inconsequential, but
the difference is everything. To see something is to know it's there. To look at
something is to figure out why it's there, what its function is, how it was built, how much it cost to build. At 66 Design Studios, we look everywhere we go, connecting dots, brainstorming new ideas, constantly innovating and figuring out how things are made. Design is a lifestyle. At 66 Design Studios we eat, sleep and breathe design.
Our initial brainstorm for a company name yielded a whole slew of names ranging from Greek gods and astronomical terms to elements on the periodic table and parts of the brain to a whole bunch of other categories. We started whittling down names, but still no one name was popping out as "The One." Later on, one of the designers was tabulating all of the names and categorizing them in a chart when an idea struck him. He counted up all of the names from the first brainstorming session. 66 different names. By using 66 as a name, it utilized all of the different names and combined them into one entity. That was it, that was "The One." 66 Design Studios was born.
At 66 Design Studios we will give you efficient, high quality work. We know you're on a budget, we are too. We will work with you to come up with the best plan of action and then set out to conquer that plan.

Today marks the three hundredth day of my #Blog365 initiative. This post will come up as the post for Day 301, but I'm really writing it on Day 300. One of my learnings? Always blog one day ahead in case something comes up that prevents me from blogging on any given day. In this way, I don't get backlogged.
So far, I've written three hundred blog posts ranging from one paragraph to one page, with the average amount of time taken to write each post at roughly fifteen minutes. So, so far, I've written for roughly 4500 minutes (or roughly 75 hours). I've also written over 105,000 words.
When we think about the need to practice what we want to get good at, we sometimes don't at first think about things like reading or writing. For most of us, these skills have been ingrained in us for as long as we can remember. And, whether we struggled with reading or writing as a kid (I still remember worrying in Kindergarten that I would never learn to read), for many of us, we've moved beyond those struggles (or found ways to address them).
I've been thinking quite a bit about my growth as a writer, and how this regular reflection has helped me to think and write differently. In most cases (hopefully) this regular practice has strengthened my writing. In other examples, it may have caused some of my writing mistakes to persist. In both cases, it has certainly helped me to be more cognizant of my need to reflect, and write, regularly, and, just as importantly, to allow myself the time to do so.
One of my biggest realizations so far is that it is rare for me not to have quite a bit to say. This is both my strength and my weakness. I need to remember that it isn't always about my story. At the same time, I do have a story to tell, and one to reflect upon. I should be able to do both. It's tough to tell where the final two months of this experience will take me, but I'm excited to continue moving forward.

As Erin Back writhed in agony and begged for someone – anyone – to make the anesthesiologist hurry up before it was too late, the look on the nurse's face told me what I had already suspected:
...that Erin would most likely be having this baby without an epidural.
And she did it.
Her ability to power through the pain as the agonizing back labor hit her with blow after blow left me completely awe-struck. I cannot even begin to imagine what she went through.
But it was worth it.
The daddy, Curtis, was a model husband, providing Erin with exactly what she needed when she needed it – at times comic relief and at others quiet strength.
Their other children, Van and Kyli, had been noticeably anxious all day, unsure about what was happening to mama and why. But when they finally got to meet their new sister, their excitement could barely be contained.
After the kids had a chance to meet their sister the rest of the family came in to welcome baby Camryn Jean to the world. The first to snatch up new baby Back was, of course, Grandma Helen.
After everyone had a chance to hold the baby, they made a quick FaceTime call with family who hadn't been able to make it in person and then it was time to let mommy, daddy, and baby have some alone time and get some rest. I cannot thank the Back Family enough for letting me be a part of this day. It was pure magic.

Students test knowledge at annual Brain Bee
- Mar 10, 2016
- Faculty & Staff, Research, Students, Neuroscience
2016 Brain Bee at MSU winners (L to R) Varun Sathyan (1st place), Omer SIddiqui (2nd place) and Shrikant Chand (3rd place).
High school students from around Michigan competed in the 6th Brain Bee at Michigan State University (MSU) held in February.
The Brain Bee, hosted by MSU's Neuroscience Program, tested student's neuroscience knowledge with a multiple choice written exam and two oral Q&A rounds. Topics included intelligence, memory, emotions, sensations, movement, stress, neuronal signaling, sleep and numerous neurological diseases.
The first place winner of this year's Brain Bee at MSU is Varun Sathyan, a junior from Athens High School in Troy. He will travel to compete in the National Brain Bee March 18-20 in Baltimore, Md. Sathyan also received a copy of "The Mind's Machine," an undergraduate neuroscience textbook authored by MSU's Barnett Rosenberg Professor of Neuroscience Marc Breedlove, and a fellowship to MSU if he declares a neuroscience major.
"This was my second year competing in the MSU Brain Bee, and it was a really enjoyable experience," Sathyan said. "I first learned about the program from a friend, and I am really happy I gave it a shot. I am thankful to MSU for giving me such an amazing opportunity to study neuroscience."
Omer Siddiqui, a junior from Detroit Country Day, and Shrikant Chand, a sophomore from Detroit Country Day, were the second and third place winners, respectively.
Casey Henley, senior research associate with MSU's Neuroscience Program, is impressed each year by the Brain Bee competitors and says this year was no exception.
"The students demonstrate a detailed knowledge of neuroscience content and do so confidently," Henley said. "The Neuroscience Program faculty and staff members are excited that Varun Sathyan will be the Brain Bee representative at the National Brain Bee. We want to thank all of the students and their parents for making this competition a success."
In addition to the annual Brain Bee at MSU, the MSU Neuroscience Program also hosts the Neuroscience Fair (which will be held March 19), the annual Girl's Math and Science Conference and the Prime Time Seniors Program. Faculty and staff members also visit local schools during Brain Awareness Week, March 16-20, and volunteer for local science fairs.

Forgiveness--Sticking with the Theme
by Monica Ross
I was curating content for my facebook page this week and I came across this video from Oprah on the topic of forgiveness. Gotta love the 90s clothes lol. I can remember being that age and watching her throughout the 80s and 90s. It brings back memories of being a teenager in a small town in Texas. When talking about forgiveness, the gentleman in the video talks about seeing people in the light of love instead of in the action that happened. He also says it's about letting go of the past that we thought we wanted. I love that...letting go of the past that we thought we wanted.
Oprah adds that it is also about letting go of the hope that the past could be any different. Forgiveness she goes on to say is not about accepting what has happened to you, but that it has happened to you. Which means it's not about accepting that it was okay for it to happen, but that it did happen.
So forgiveness becomes an act of self-care. We let go so that we are not held hostage by the past. When I came across this video the other morning, I felt so grateful. The universe always seems to find a way of sending me these nuggets of wisdom at the exact moment that I need them.
I have so much empathy when this happens for my clients--the act of holding on to something. Because I can relate, absolutely. I myself came across the issue this past week even in my own personal life. I was holding a grudge. When someone comes along and disappoints you it's really easy to claim some kind of moral high ground and complain about the injustice of it all.
People do and say shitty things to other people, on purpose even at times. But you know what? At the end of the day, when all is said and done, it's about letting it all go. Did we maybe want for things to go down differently? Probably. Would we rather that person not have disrespected us? Likely. But did they? Yes.
We can't change that. If we keep our focus on what we cannot change, it's a losing battle. On the one hand as therapists I think we want to validate the injustice, of course. On the other hand, it's about encouraging our clients to move on.
Again, moving on is not about saying that it was okay for it happen, whatever it was. It's about acknowledging that there's no way now of going back to the event and making things play out any differently. It's about accepting that it did happen, whatever it was and focusing on moving forward.
When we keep our focus on looking at people in the light of love I think that tremendous healing can take place. The word namaste pronounced na-ma-stay comes to mind. One definition is "I honor the place in you where the entire universe dwells. I honor the place in you that is of light, love, truth, peace, and wisdom. When you are in that place in you, and I am in that place in me, We Are One."
To me this means that if I care about myself, if I have a vested self-interest then I have an interest in others as well because there really is no difference between where I end and you begin. I may lose some people here with that statement, it's also the idea behind quantum physics. We are all connected at the quantum level.
This video talks more about the concept of quantum entanglement. So, if we are all connected then why do we act as though we are not? Maybe on some level it's disturbing to think we are all connected because especially in Western culture we want to maintain this notion of independence of separateness as a cultural value.
Certainly in psychology we talk about the negative effects of things like enmeshment in family systems where one or the other family member finds it difficult to maintain a separate sense of self, so I don't think it's about swinging completely the opposite way either. I think it's about balance.
We are both separate and one and it's about the ability to sit with the idea of both--both/and. We know with healthy marriages it's the same. Here's a poem I really like. I read it at a friend's wedding once several years ago. It reinforces the concept of together but separate.
"To Love is Not to Possess" - James Kavanaugh
To love is not to possess, To own or imprison, Nor to lose one's self in another. Love is to join and separate, To walk alone and together, To find a laughing freedom That lonely isolation does not permit. It is finally to be able To be who we really are No longer clinging in childish dependency Nor docilely living separate lives in silence, It is to be perfectly one's self And perfectly joined in permanent commitment To another--and to one's inner self.
Love only endures when it moves like waves, Receding and returning gently or passionately, Or moving lovingly like the tide In the moon's own predictable harmony, Because finally, despite a child's scars Or an adult's deepest wounds, They are openly free to be Who they really are--and always secretly were, In the very core of their being Where true and lasting love can alone abide.

Do you have anything exciting planned for the weekend? I barely had time to take a breath this week so I am excited to relax a little and work on some of my own projects (instead of school). I decided to post some sweet relaxing sounds for the weekend. Have you heard of the Night Beds? The Night Beds is the music of Winston Yellen. He wrote the album in a rented pre-civil war home in the woods (owned previously by Johnny Cash). It was released on Dead Oceans (Tallest Man on Earth) in 2013. His American folky sounds combined with pedal steel and strings remind me of Sun Kil Moon and a bit of Alex Turner's solo work. It's a really great album. Listen to the Night Beds Tiny Desk Concert or purchase the CD here.
Have a wonderful weekend

Reverse Conversation Engineering email
Do you know what "reverse engineering" means?
Here's the definition of it:
Reverse engineering is taking apart an object to see how it works in order to duplicate or enhance the object.
Now watch this. Let's replace the word "object" with the word "result".
What happens is… now you have a method for coming up with solutions to most of your marketing problems.
That's right!
First, you think of the result you want to get… and then… trace backwards all the steps needed to get there. All the way back to the beginning.
You start with the question, "What do I actually want to happen? What's the end goal for me?"
For example... if you are a real estate agent the thing you want to happen is…
To be in a conversation, one on one, with somebody who's thinking of selling their house.
How do you get there?
There's only one way: Through the conversations that are already going on in your prospect's mind.
For someone that is looking to sell their home… the conversations are probably going to be, "How much is my house worth specifically?"
"What should I do to fix it up?", "What kind of repairs do I need to do and what can I leave alone?"
They might not even be ready to put the house on the market, but if they knew there's a buyer for it they would happily sell.
Next thing you do is, you take those conversations... one by one... and find a specific, whisker-free solution for each.
So, instead of saying to potential home sellers, "Hey, if there's anything I can do for you or any way I can help you, please feel free to reach out to me…."
You say...
"Whenever you're ready, here's how I can help you right now:
A) I've got a pinpoint price analysis. I'll show you exactly what your house would sell for compared to other houses on the market today.
B) I've got a room-by-room review booklet where I can go from the curb to closet, show you exactly what to do or not do to get your house ready to get top dollar.
C) I've got a silent market. I may be able to sell your house in as little as 24 hours without even putting it on the market."
These are your cookies, matching word for word - almost exactly - to what your prospects are thinking about.
And here's the best part: All three of these cookies, no matter which one the prospect asks for, all lead to the same next step.
They want a pinpoint price analysis? Perfect. "Let me pop over, I'll take a look, see what your house is, and then prepare the report for you,"
They want a room-by-room review? Awesome! "Let me pop over. I'll bring the room-by-room review booklet and we can go through your rooms and point out the things that you could and shouldn't do to get your house ready to sell."
They want to know about the silent market? Great! "Let me pop over. I'll bring the details of people that are looking for a house just like yours."
See how they all lead to the same thing?
No matter what cookie they pick… you end up in a conversation, one on one, with somebody about potentially helping them sell their house.
Exactly what you wanted in the first place.
I love reverse-engineering results.
Do you? :)

Grant contributions worth €445 million will boost investments, policy dialogue and technical assistance across the EBRD region
The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) in 2016 attracted a record level of donor funds amounting to €445 million, a more than 40 per cent increase on the previous year. Donor grants are used to co-finance EBRD operations and related activities, such as policy reform and technical cooperation projects, aimed at enhancing the private sector's sustainable growth in countries ranging from Morocco to Mongolia.
The European Union is the EBRD's largest single donor, contributing around 50 per cent of donor funding received over the last five years in support of Bank activities, confirming its commitment as a crucial partner to the EBRD. Individual governments and donor agencies – including EBRD countries of operations such as Kazakhstan and Albania, as well as global funds such as the Climate Investment Funds, the Global Environment Facility and other World Bank managed financing facilities – also contributed significant grant support.
The ultimate beneficiaries of EBRD donors' generosity are the millions of citizens who are enjoying better and greener municipal services, business owners and managers who have more access to finance and advice, industries and infrastructure that are enabled to use clean technology, and regulators that are better equipped to push reforms for an improved business climate.
"In light of these past years of uninterrupted austerity in public budgets, donors' contributions confirm the effectiveness of the Bank's business model which blends grants with loans alongside policy dialogue, avoiding market distortions and aiming at building up local capacity. Without donors' support, many projects would simply not materialise and people, businesses and institutions in the region would be worse off in their quest to sustainably develop their economies," said Camilla Otto, EBRD Director of Donor Co-Financing.
In addition, in 2016 the EBRD secured from the Green Climate Fund (GCF) last October up to US$ 378 million to support green investments – the Fund's largest approval in 2016. As manager of multi-donor funds supporting activities of international financial institutions (IFIs), such as the Eastern Europe Energy Efficiency and Environment Partnership (E5P) Fund, the Western Balkans Investment Framework's donor fund and the Northern Dimension Environmental Partnership (NDEP), the EBRD helped raise the significant sum of €114 million in grant funding for EBRD and other IFI operations.
Donor funding will continue to boost the Bank's work in all sectors and across the entire region. In particular, these funds will continue to be essential to invest in the green economy, infrastructure, small businesses and other initiatives such as good governance, economic inclusion and gender equality.

Fordham University at Lincoln Center wanted to renovate a room used for theater classes and student performances as part of an initiative to improve the quality and visibility of its theater program. The Kehoe Studio Theatre was created to fulfill that need.
The site of the new Studio Theatre was a plain black classroom that was used as a theater lab. This room sits adjacent to a mechanical equipment room and had lots of ductwork, drainage piping, and conduits passing through it; as a result it was crowded, filled with low-hanging obstacles, and noisy, unsuited to a theater.
The Kehoe Studio Theatre is situated at the intersection of two corridors. A new vaulted ceiling and rectangular frame span the width of the space trumpeting the location of the Studio Theatre and framing its entrance. Fordham's dark red signature color is used in the pigmented Venetian plaster wall, complimented with orange Chinese lacquer and earth-toned linoleum used as a pin-board surface. Glossy finishes and stainless steel lettering sparkle and draw attention to the new theater.
The very wide opening at the corridor tapers into a narrower aisle leading to its fifty-one custom-designed fixed seats. The seating and the stage are surrounded by walls made of several shades of dark red wood slats. Steel pipes line the walls and the ceilings where they are placed to hang stage lighting, audio equipment, and scenery. The slatted walls provide acoustical reflections and conceal materials that provide acoustical absorption for the room and attenuation of outside noises. A heavy noise barrier wall was erected between the mechanical room and the theater. Sound lock vestibules, doors, and partitions were designed to enhance the acoustical quality of the theater by reducing external noise.
The ceiling, painted a dark grey color, has a system of steel pipes for scenery, lighting, and audio support, along with distributed outlet devices for stage lighting, sound and video. The coffered ceiling has acoustically absorptive materials placed deep in the coffers along with a system of incandescent house lighting and fluorescent work lighting. Push button controls allow several lighting "looks" for rehearsal, classroom use, or housekeeping, so that a stage lighting control board operator does not have to be present to operate the preset lighting controls.
A control booth is located at the back of the house, and it can be accessed from the house or from an adjacent corridor, through a storage area below the seating. The latest in new theater systems were installed for stage lighting and audio and the backbone installed for video projection. New mechanical systems are separately zoned and centrally controlled by the campus system. The ventilation and air conditioning system is specially designed to be quiet to suit the needs of a theater used for spoken drama. Extraneous ducts, pipes, and conduits were relocated away from the Studio Theatre to remove obstructions and noise sources and to allow the installation of a pipe grid at the ceiling.
New actor entrances are provided from each corner of the room: from stage left and stage right, from the entry aisle, and from the booth by the use of a cross-over located in a corridor outside of the Studio Theatre. The stage floor is "sprung" and resilient to provide comfort for actor movement. Stage lighting equipment is integrated within an existing dimmer room serving a nearby auditorium. Accessible wheelchair viewing positions are provided by removal of fixed chairs which is simply accomplished without tools or lifting.

Cost: $1.7 Million

The Oscars turn 75 next year. The Golden Globes are readying their 60th annual presentation.
So, to assist these old codgers, the newly formed, Seattle-based Parallax View: A Film Society — a group of film enthusiasts, professionals and critics — has stepped into the ring.
On Thursday, the group announced its first-ever awards, saying in a statement: "Alarmed by the dearth of year-end movie awards, the film critics of the Puget Sound area have raised their voices in unison for the first time. Twenty-four of the area's top critics have been polled for the first annual Seattle Film Critics Awards."
And the big winner — despite its best picture snub by the Golden Globes — was director Todd Haynes's straight-faced send-up of '50s Ross Hunter-like melodramas, "Far From Heaven," which won best picture and best actress for Julianne Moore. Haynes also won for best direction and screenplay.
The Seattle critics also created a special annual category, the "Living Legend" award, "to honor some long-cherished movie notable deserving of career recognition," according to the group.
This year's award goes to Maureen O'Hara, 82, who besides such classics as John Ford's "The Quiet Man" (with John Wayne) is seen every Christmas in the yuletide favorite "Miracle on 34th Street."
Other winners include best actor Daniel Day-Lewis ("Gangs of New York"), best supporting actress Bebe Neuwirth ("Tadpole") and best supporting actor Chris Cooper ("Adaptation").
