Only one who knows how to be intense and relaxed at once will know the true joy of activity. Right now the bane of humanity is that people have forgotten how to relax without turning lax, how to be intense without turning tense.
This is why a "break" becomes important in our lives. At least once a year, it is important to consciously relax the survival instinct, drop all calculations, jettison all blueprints for self-improvement, and SIMPLY BE.
Devote just one fortnight in a year to yourself. Let this be only for your "inner well-being", not about family, work or even your body or mind. Human life is always longing for expansion. Everyone wants to be a little more than what they are right now. But with a little awareness one can see that the real longing is for limitless expansion. The problem is short-sightedness. We believe that one more step, one more instalment will settle the longing. Essentially, we are snacking on distractions and missing out on the fundamental hunger for boundlessness.
If possible, go to an energised or consecrated space. Spend a few days without any distraction : No telephone, no television, reading or writing. Just sit comfortably, eyes open and alert. Initially, you may feel like you're going crazy, but after some time you will see clearly what your life energies are longing for. When you emerge from this "period of incubation" your system will be so rejuvenated, that you will be able to simply walk out of any problems that are plaguing you in the "outer world."
Above all, when you are not trying to be anything or get anywhere, you discover the joy of "simply being." "Spiritual practice" or "sadhana" is not about getting somewhere. It is simply a device to stop the itch of constantly wanting to be somewhere else. Sadhana matures you to a point, when you realise that you don't have to go anywhere or to do anything to fulfil the ultimate purpose of life.
Going into "periods of silence" will clearly bring this into your experience. It will bring the joy of activity back into life and help banish the unfortunate equation of life with stress as well as the pervasive "Thank-God-it's-Friday" culture.
Everything worth knowing is right here and now . When everything is pleasant within you, waiting is not a big deal. They say how long a minute is just depends on which side of the bathroom door you are on. For someone inside, a minute is no time at all. For someone outside, a minute can be an eternity.
The term "spiritual journey" is actually a misnomer. There is no journey. the word ensures that you do not confuse relaxation with inertia. But a journey implies distance. And there is no distance. Take a "sadhana break to reflect on the simple question : WHAT IS THE DISTANCE BETWEEN YOU & YOURSELF ? –A retreat can awaken you to the living realisation that "abiding joy and freedom are right here within you." Once you know this experientially, you find activity can be both rejuvenating and joyful. One who knows the true joy of action will neither seek nor need a break.

RI Consent Decree Monitor Will Draw Up Proposed Judicial Order to Ensure Adequate State Funding/
By Gina Macris
Judge John J. McConnell, Jr. of U.S. District Court signaled during a hearing April 10 that he is prepared to act to ensure that Rhode Island complies with a requirement of a 2014 consent decree that calls for "timely" funding of integrated services for adults with developmental disabilities.
But it is not yet clear what judicial action might look like in relation to the language of the consent decree, which does not quantify compliance in terms of dollars and cents.
Governor Gina Raimondo has proposed a developmental disabilities budget for the fiscal year beginning July 1 that would cut $18.4 million in federal and state Medicaid funds from current spending limits on privately-operated developmental disability services for adults and another $3 million from a state-operated network of group homes.
That reduction comes on the heels of an already-underfunded system of services and would "permanently derail compliance with the consent decree," said Jeffrey Kasle, lawyer for nine service providers, who spoke during the informal hearing, or "status conference" at the invitation of an independent court monitor.
The monitor, Charles Moseley, said he would draw up a list of proposed funding-related actions for the judge to consider. Marc DeSisto, the state's lawyer, and Victoria Thomas, who represented the U.S. Department of Justice, each said they wanted to review the proposal before the judge takes action.
If there is no consensus, McConnell said, he will hold a formal hearing and take evidence before issuing an order.
Since 2016, when he began reviewing the consent decree, McConnell has tried to make information about compliance accessible to the public, insisting that periodic conferences be held in open court and stressing the informality of the proceedings.
The review on April 10 was no exception, as the lawyers and state officials spoke from a podium facing the audience in the towering, mahogany-paneled courtroom, so spectators could better hear the proceedings. McConnell, wearing business clothes instead of his judicial robes, sat near the court stenographer just inside a circular bar that normally separates litigants from the public.
The informal atmosphere, however, belied the gravity of the funding issue, which McConnell called the "elephant in the room," and its implications for judicial action.
The monitor, Moseley, and lawyers for the DOJ and the providers all concurred in their concerns over funding.
Officials of the Department of Behavioral Healthcare, Developmental Disabilities and Hospitals (BHDDH) said they needed better data to make a case for a bigger budget and noted that $116 million more will have been spent on developmental disabilities during the Raimondo administration, between 2015 and 2019, than was spent from 2010 to 2014.
It was in 2014 that Rhode Island was found in violation of the integration mandate of the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) by relying on a segregated system of work and non-work activities that could survive on significantly less staffing that is mandated today through the consent decree.
Kasle, the providers' lawyer, noted that the current administration at BHDDH, led by department director Rebecca Boss and the director of the Division of Developmental Disabilities, Kerri Zanchi, have shown a commitment to collaborating with providers that is the "best in a decade."
But much of the state's current compliance with the consent decree occurs because the private providers are doing the work, Kasle said.
"If all they can do is keep people safe," he said, consent decree compliance will "fall apart."
A decade ago, direct care workers made $3 to $5 more an hour than minimum wage, Kasle said. The legislative efforts to raise wages in the last two years, which added $11 million to the budget, are appreciated but they have just kept the workers on a par with the minimum wage, he said
For providers, who can pay only $11 or $12 an hour, "it's almost impossible to fill jobs," Kasle said.
And if the state is to integrate individuals with developmental disabilities in the community, allowing them a choice in how their programming will be achieved, the state will need more direct care workers, he said.
Victoria Thomas, a lawyer for the DOJ, said that on the most recent site visit in February, she and her colleagues spoke to a provider who had had to lay off several middle managers because of budgetary constraints.
Employees have seen their salaries cut; paid vacation was eliminated, and workers have had to increase their contributions to health care, Thomas said.
The judge, meanwhile, asked Boss, the BHDDH director, whether the state can comply with the consent decree if Governor Raimondo's budget for the next fiscal year is enacted without any changes.
Boss said she didn't know the answer. Nor could she say whether BHDDH could comply with the consent decree if no cuts were made and current spending was maintained.
Boss said BHDDH is "committed to implementing the consent decree. We want every individual to live in the community as they wish."
Last fall, Boss submitted her department's budget request for the fiscal year beginning July 1 far higher than what Governor Raimondo later proposed to the legislature. Boss asked for a total of $278.8 million in federal and state funds, or $28 million more than what Raimondo ultimately submitted to the General Assembly.
In a cover letter, Boss wrote at the time that "any further reductions could have further significant repercussions financially and operationally for the department further impacting some of the most vulnerable citizens within our state."
For the fiscal year beginning July 1, Raimondo has proposed $250.8 million for developmental disabilities, which is $6.1 million less than the bottom line enacted by the General Assembly for the current fiscal year.
The proposal of $250.8 million is also $21.4 million less than current spending levels. Because of current cost overruns, Raimondo has proposed adding $15.3 million to the existing budget of $256.9 million, for a total of $272.2 million, to fill the budget gap through the end of the fiscal year June 30.

In a year, Android's gone from shaky upstart to mobile juggernaut. And nowhere is that more apparent than the apps—the Marketplace is positively bursting, with over 14,000 apps.
Here are the ones you need, the essentials. →
Yes, it's vastly inferior to its iPhone counterpart—an unfortunately common theme for Android apps—missing entire functions like Chat and Events, but with Android 2.0, its tight integration with contacts almost makes us forget about that. Also, it's unpossible to not have this on your phone.
An argument all by itself for multitasking and background processes, it's a location aware app that lets you set how your phone responds to certain situations or places—like muting your ringer at school, or killing 3G when your battery's low, or pretty much any other scriptable action. Indispensable.
Google's Places is our preferred directory app for finding what's nearby—restaurants, coffee, banks, shopping, whatever—mostly because it's easier to use than the arguably more jam-packed Where—but also because its information seems to be getting more detailed useful at an exponential rate.
: Not every Android phone has HTC's ginormous weather widgets to say whether it's blistering hot or a Category 5 hurricane outside, so for everything else, there's the Weather Channel, which gives you a choice of widgets to slap on the home screen and offers (optional) weather alerts in your notification bar to boot.

There are three of us who provide the core work of the Keystone Institute, and many associates and colleagues who have joined us over the years to work together to advance good ideas.
Elizabeth Neuville is the Executive Director of the Keystone Institute and has focused on providing education in Social Role Valorization (SRV), individualized service designs and person centered planning. Much of her recent work involves the deinstitutionalization movement in eastern Europe. She also has a deep interest in the history of social movements, and in particular, the many lessons that can be drawn from studying past movements in the field of disability and how they relate to the present.
Pamela Seetoo also teaches SRV widely, has many years of experience working with children and families within the foster care system and teaches, studies and facilitates many events.
Eileen Scott focuses her energies on person centered thinking and planning and tools that are useful in developing a vision and gaining momentum toward changes within individuals, families, organizations and communities.
We are deeply invested in creating positive alternatives to institutionalization, marginalization and entrenched, systematic societal devaluation of many groups of people across the globe.

Dr. Logan Levkoff is dedicated to perpetuating healthy and positive messages about sexuality. She can speak on a wide range of issues, including issues of sexual health, trends in sexuality, relationship hurdles, and sex in pop culture and politics. For almost a decade, Logan has been working with students of all ages and from a variety of backgrounds. She has designed and implemented sexuality education programs in many independent schools and community organizations. Logan's work with teens and parents has been profiled in many publications including The New York Times. Logan Levkoff is an AASECT certified sex educator. She received a Ph.D. in Human Sexuality, Marriage, and Family Life Education from New York University as well as an M.S. in Human Sexuality Education and a B.A. in English from the University of Pennsylvania. She lives in New York City with her husband, son, and daughter. (source: loganlevkoff.com)
Logan's work has made her incredibly sought after, and she writes for numerous publications and appears on a variety of news sources, which you can find listed here.
In addition, Logan has written several books: Third Base Ain't What it Used to Be: What Your Kids are Learning About Sex Today and How to Teach Them to Become Sexually Healthy Adults, How to Get Your Wife to Have Sex with You, and her latest book, with Dr. Jennifer Wider, Got Teens?: The Doctor Moms' Guide to Sexuality, Social Media and Other Adolescent Realities.
I have attended several of Dr. Levkoff's talks and been given a great level of comfort as a parent in regards to sexuality and my child. I had the true pleasure of chatting with Dr. Levkoff recently this July about her career and picked her brain for some Advice For My Daughter.
What is it that you do exactly?
The field of sexology is basically the scientific study of human sexuality. It's sort of broken up into different areas: sex therapy, sex research, sex counseling, and sexuality education. I am most certainly an educator, and my mission in life is to get people comfortable talking about issues of sex and sexuality in ways that are intelligent and positive and healthy. So, my life has been either in classrooms or lecture halls or writing. All with the same goal of helping people develop a healthy sense of sexuality so that translates to all areas of their lives.
What are you working on presently?
The nice thing about what I do is that I really have been given this incredible privilege to work in a lot of different capacities. During the school year, I am teaching all the time. I had a book, a parenting book, come out in February. (Got Teens?: The Doctor Moms' Guide to Sexuality, Social Media and Other Adolescent Realities) I am currently working on a television show called, Married At First Sight, which sounds super salacious, but is meant to be a very thought-provoking and positive look at what happens when social science gets involved in relationships, and we actually have to fight for something.
What skills and characteristics are needed to be successful in your field?
Well, I would say that the first thing that's really important is that you can't talk about issues of sex and sexuality without knowing what your own values are. Knowing what they are and sometimes being able to put them aside in order to be a better communicator and educator. So, I think being aware of what you come to the table with is important. I think, also, that the key to this is really being non-judgmental, which is really hard in this field.
We all kind of grow up with baggage and messages about sex and sexuality, so it is really easy to come from a place where we make assumptions and judgments about others. But, I think the key is to be non-judgmental and to be a good listener. And then, being able to facilitate a conversation as opposed to preaching.
What do you enjoy most about what you do?
I love everything in terms of what I do. There is nothing better than seeing someone's face, of any and all age and demographic, when their question is validated, when their concerns are addressed, when they realize there really is no such thing as normal. That to me, there is nothing better. Even in my own home, even in my own little world to contribute to raising a new generation of sexually healthy young people is really rewarding to me.
What are the challenges you face?
Well, talking about sex is always challenging. I think that people make a lot of assumptions about me, about how I teach, about what I say, what I tell people to do and what not to do. There is no question that being a sexuality educator you come to the table with certain values . I believe that people are entitled, I believe children and teens are entitled to learn about sex and sexuality in healthy and positive ways. You know, people have a lot of beliefs about that, and a lot of people feel, they're not in the majority, but they're certainly very loud, believe that children and teens are not entitled to hear this information. It goes with the territory. You can't be in this field and not be ready to manage adversity. Some people are really good at it, and some aren't, which is why they don't necessarily deal with issues of childhood and adolescent sexuality.
I have always believed that I have been fortunate enough to be raised with privilege in a lot of different capacities. I believe that when you have privilege it is your responsibility to put yourself out there and use that privilege to benefit the greater good. So I really am happy to work through the adversity, because if I don't do it, I'm not sure who is going to.
You are also a parent of two children. What advice would you offer to someone who is beginning parenthood?
I think that we need to trust our instincts. I think we live in this world with these alarmist, frightening headlines about the million ways we're going to screw up our kids. Because of it, we've sort of forgotten what it means to trust your own gut and instinct. I think that the most important thing to do is that if you think you should answer a question, at least in respect to my field, if a child asks the question about sex, give them the answer. Don't worry about screwing up your kid or taking away their innocence. The only way that that happens is when they hear about these things from someone other than you.
What is one motto that has served you well in your life and career? Why?
I think that throughout my life I have always had a particular personal mantra and that has been be provocative with a purpose. So, for me it's always been get people to question, get people to talk, get people thinking about issues in new ways, but never be gratuitous. I think that is sort of how I operate in my own life. I ask provocative questions, but it's not simply to make people uncomfortable. It's really to get them thinking and to get myself thinking, too, for that matter. So, be provocative with a purpose.
Thanks, again, to Dr. Levkoff for her time participating in this project!
Check out Dr. Levkoff's website for more information about her books, television appearances, and speaking engagements.
You can see her Tuesdays at 9 p.m. on FYI on Married At First Sight.

Console Table Decor Behind Sofa - A couch cover can add life to your own old and damaged item of furniture that you would otherwise have to replace. Using a contemporary print or to protect a brand new couch to prevent damage one also can upgrade an older couch. Using one of these covers to redecorate a space can be a terrific alternative. The whole room can be given a lift by just changing the design of your sofa.
A couch cover is found in a variety of materials and styles and can be customized to fit a couch or may be a loose fitting cover. Normally, one that's tailor-made can be quite pricey. It will be likely to discover these covers in a variety of different retailers and sellers. There are specialty and linen stores, in addition to dwelling goods shops that will offer them. They will be generally carried by online retailers well, and it's not uncommon to be able to locate them at department stores.
There are multiple places where it's possible for you to select one one of those covers. Determining where to purchase one to your house can be decided by doing a little research to compare customer satisfaction and costs.
The price of a cover largely depends on a couple of variables. The stuff will affect the price, as will whether or not it is fitted. A one that is tailored will be the most expensive sort of to purchase, which is due to the total amount of effort plus time put into the job by the designer and business making the couch cover. However, the final product is going to be a tight-fitting cover for your own sofa or couch that'll be entirely indistinguishable from your authentic covering, even.

Kwadwo Asamoah says he is delighted to have come through pre-season unscathed and is looking forward to putting his injury nightmare firmly behind him by entering the 2016/17 campaign firing on all cylinders.
Speaking to Sky this afternoon in Vinovo, the Ghanaian began: "It's almost two years since I enjoyed a full pre-season with the rest of the squad. This time around I've managed to do just that, also playing in the friendly games, and I'm happy with my achievement.
"When you're experiencing difficulties and you're not able to train or play consistently, it's inevitable to feel a little concerned. I was never scared I wouldn't make it back, but the fact that you're not able to train normally is a tough one to take.
"Now, I'm ready to play, both as an inside midfielder and out wide – it all depends on the boss. The mood's good in the camp, our pre-season preparations have gone well and we're ready to begin Serie A."
The Bianconeri's tag of title favourites comes as no surprise to the unflappable Asamoah, who says a sixth successive Scudetto crown and convincing tilt at the Champions League should represent the team's two priorities this season.
But what about the midfielder's personal goals?
"We're used to starting off as favourites, we have done every year. What matters most is for us to win each game we play, beginning of course with our first fixture against Fiorentina.
"We naturally want to defend our title, but the Champions League is an important target and winning it requires us focus in every game we play. My personal aim? To play more matches than I have done in the last two years."

Turpin family: Dramatic video shows moment children escape House of Horrors
THIS video shows the dramatic moment the 13 Turpin children were rescued by police in California after being held captive by their parents for years.
CCTV footage has emerged showing police officers leading the children out of the house of horrors after parents David and Louise Turpin were arrested.
One of the children is seem carrying her sibling, and another runs to catch up with the others as police usher the children, aged two to 29, to safety.
It shows officers at the scene after one of the daughters, aged 17, escaped the house through a window and called police in a dramatic escape.
The children are said to have been chained to their beds, starved and tortured by parents for years.
One victim at one point was tied up and hogtied
More and more details of the children's harrowing ordeal have come to light since their parents pleaded not guilty on Thursday to nearly 40 charges, including torture, false imprisonment and child abuse. Mr Turpin also faces a charge of a lewd act on a child under 14.
Both parents denied the charges as prosecutors said they kept the 13 children locked in their rooms, chained to their beds and only allowed them to shower once a year.
District Attorney Mike Hestrin told reporters after the hearing: "If convicted of all charges, they face 94 years up to life in prison."
Authorities were alerted to the horrendous abuse after one of the children managed to escape and call the police.

The children were kept padlocked to their beds
The 17-year-old is said to have been working on the plan for two years. She brought one of her siblings with her, but they got scared and turned back.
Officers thought she was a young child at first because she was so emaciated.
They assumed all the other siblings were children too, but were shocked to discover seven of them were aged between 18 and 29.
When police first arrived at the property, they found three of the children shackled with chains and padlocks.

Psychological experts have said it is likely the children will need years of therapy.
All 13 are being treated for malnutrition and undergoing other diagnostic tests.

He said: "The victims report that as a punishment, starting many years ago, they began to be tied up first with ropes, one victim at one point was tied up and hogtied and then what that victim was able to escape the ropes, the defendants began using chains and padlocks to chain the victims to their beds."
He also alleged "the punishments included frequent beatings and even strangulation".
Bail for the Turpins has been set at 13million (£9million) each - $1million for each of the children.

The majority breaks down to three further types:
– The surprised, comprising the mass. Intellectually they are 100% passive, situationally they are absolutely clueless. They keep on getting surprised by whatever happens to them. Some of these – to their biggest surprise- make decent careers sustaining the hope of their peers.
– The disappointed: on the one hand they typically expect some kind of superiority from their superiors, on the other hand they have reservations about dedicating their life to coding apps, managing logistics, projects, P&L (for those who are not familiar: P&L stands for profit and loss statement. It's mostly an excel sheet that is the de facto tool of "initiation" into being a manager. Some managers from all three types of corporate players identify with their corporate role to such a degree that they have their spouses run a P&L sheet at home or report to their spouse with it) and similar business functions, but they are not aware of or can't come up with any alternatives, so they take a number and get in line.
– The cynical. There are two types of cynics. One is unable to grasp higher principles and deal with this incapacity with hostility towards everybody who does. The other type simply doesn't believe in business; they don't expect much, but they see a sea of idiots around them and they wonder how come the system doesn't just break. Some of these start to play and become players, most don't.
It's very important to note that the cynics never become disappointed: this would be evidence that the organization is developing. The disappointed ones however often become cynics proving that the organization is in crisis.

Spiritual Networking
As OTCC, with Glyn and Emma's encouragement, we have been getting more into prayer, experimenting with places and different ways of talking to and hearing from God, both individually, as couples and in groups. And getting excited at how God is bringing changes in us, in our relationships, and in the lives of others.
In Matthew 18:20 we read Jesus' promise to be with us in a special way when 2 or 3 of us come together to pray in His Name. In these days of Skype and telephone conferencing, social networking and a mobile phone never far from the ear of a large proportion of the population , distance need not preclude us from "coming together" at all hours.
But it's seemed to me, that as some of us have been using Em's Rhythm of Prayer booklets, there's been a special dimension of "coming together" as we've been using the same shape of prayer, dipping in and dipping out; a new sense of Jesus "with us", and power released as we're agreed in prayer in His Name.
Jo and I have been feeling a bit cut-off and out on a limb over here at Bexhill, but this has given us a sense of togetherness, knowing we are praying alongside each other. Most of us know something of the pain of rejection, of feeling "outside", "unchosen", "other than" or just plain different. Or maybe we are deliberately, if only for a season, distancing ourselves because we can't cope with the physical nearness of others. But this joining together in a framework of prayer can give us a new sense of belonging, of "we" not just "I" alone, a closing of the distance gap whether that be physical or emotional.
How about it? If you haven't done so already, why not ask Emma for a booklet (or download it here: http://otcc.org.uk/resources/), and give it a try?
Luv Susie

Life is movement. Your body churns. Your thoughts flurry. You are always going from place to place.
Like with anything, acceptance is the way to understanding ourselves. By attempting to be still, we can be aware of how much we move. We can observe that there is space in between thoughts. We can notice the peak of our inhale, and the moment after exhale. What happens in those moments? Are we not also the silence in between?
Instead of trying to stop moving, start paying attention. Don't suppress your body, embrace it. Don't try to shut out thoughts, let them pass. Let things come, and let them go. You aren't doing anything wrong, but you can do more good if you pay attention more, and fight less.

What makes a good home designer? If you have been planning to remodel your home, do a kitchen remodel or a bathroom remodel, you've probably thought about hiring an interior designer or what some call a home designer. You've thought about how a designer can bring you function along with aesthetics, and have considered the value of having an educated and experienced person to help you navigate the design phase and the construction phase. We know where you're at now. You are wondering if there is anyone out there who has actually used a home designer and you want to know what their experience has been. It's a great place to be. We want to help shed some light on that experience for you. Here is a list of some commonalities our clients have had in their journey of remodeling a home. Consider these as you think about your decision to hire an interior designer.
As you might expect, the number one criteria our clients have enjoyed and would expect in hiring any home designer is that they be compatible. Most of our clients enjoy a down to earth designer that is putting their needs and interests ahead of what we may think should happen.
In a business of giving advice, every client wants their visions to be heard and ultimately translated in the end result of the project. Having a home designer that gets this is integral to the success of the remodel. As an example, we've worked with some clients that have a dream of building out their current space with a very minimalist approach while other clients want the exact opposite. As a designer, you have to be able to put your personal interests aside and give solid design advice while switching between each of these clients. That is the mark of an excellent interior designer.
This may seem obvious but is hard for a new client to assess on the front end of a project. A client can't really know this until they start working with their designer. They will have a series of meetings and find out pretty quickly if their designer is all over the place or has a keen sense of where they are headed.
The main ingredient in a designer being or staying organized with your project is having a solid process they follow with each of their clients. This process should be well vetted by the time they start working for you, putting years of experience under their belt they can share with you. The best way to tell if a home designer has a plan or a process is to ask them. If the designer is organized, this will make them very excited to know you care about where you both are headed. If they don't have a process their response will be something like "well, I want to get to know you and then we can feel our way through it." Yes, getting to know you is a big deal, as we stated in the first item above, but from that point on they should have a solid schedule that you are following to achieve success with your project.
Something that should be talked about at the beginning is a calendar. An excellent home designer can give you dates for future meetings and time frames for when each phase should start and end. Especially in the design phase, there should be a set expectation of what needs to be decided by what date in order to keep everything moving forward in the right direction.
Something our clients have marked as a high value when working with a home designer is expertise. This can come through many forms. A foundational example of expertise is someone who has a solid process like explained above. This shows a baseline of understanding that they know what works and what doesn't work. This is a theme that will carry itself through the entire remodeling project. A home designer needs to be confident in where they are taking you. They need to be able to give you direction and guidance or you will hit a lot of barriers in trying to get to the finish line.
Along the design and construction journey there are many difficult decisions to be made. A designer with expertise can not only give you good advice on how to move through those decisions, but can point back at work they've done that was similar and why they know it's the right way to go. Being experienced in what works and what doesn't is invaluable when you are working on a long term remodel project.
Think back to the last time you had someone helping you through a project in life and they were there to help you do the research while providing experienced advice at the same time. There is a difference between spending a few hours working through a difficult problem and several weeks on the same problem. An excellent designer's advice can be a good asset to collapse time frames and keep the train on the track.
Pulling it all together
As you can see, some of your initial questions may be the same experience our clients had, but at the same time there may be something you've uncovered here. Consider this research as part of your due diligence. You are getting closer to ironing out all your concerns. If you are still needing some clarification, download one of our ebooks that can hopefully fill in the gaps. If not, the next step is getting in front a home designer so you can get started working on your design.

This is from The New York Post.
This is from the "You Can Not Make This Stuff Up Department".
A Manhattan dad is not lovin' McDonald's right now.
Attorney David Schorr slapped a court-appointed shrink with a defamation lawsuit for telling the judge deciding a custody battle with his estranged wife that he was an unfit parent — for refusing to take his son to the fast food joint for dinner.
"You'd think it was sexual molestation," Schorr, 43, told The Post Thursday. "I am just floored by it."
Schorr says in his Manhattan Supreme Court suit that E. 97th Street psychiatrist Marilyn Schiller filed a report saying he was "wholly incapable of taking care of his son" and should be denied his weekend visitation over the greasy burger ban.
Schorr, a corporate attorney turned consultant with degrees from NYU and Oxford University, had planned to take his 4-year-old son to their usual restaurant, the Corner Café on Third Avenue, for his weekly Tuesday night visitation last week.
But the boy threw a temper tantrum and demanded McDonald's. So he gave his son an ultimatum: dinner anywhere other than McDonald's — or no dinner.
"The child, stubborn as a mule, chose the 'no dinner' option," the disgruntled dad says in the suit.
"It was just a standoff. I'm kicking myself mightily," Schorr said.
"I wish I had taken him to McDonalds, but you get nervous about rewarding bad behavior. I was concerned. I think it was a 1950s equivalent of sending your child to bed without dinner. That's maybe the worst thing you can say about it," he said.
Adding insult to injury, he said: "My wife immediately took him to McDonalds."
Upon reflection, Schorr said he should have remembered that mother knows best.
"The first thing I did was I questioned myself," he recalled.
"Had I done something wrong? I did what any 43-year-old Jewish man would do — I told my mother. I said, 'My God, did I do something wrong here?'
"Even my mother, the strictest mother in the world, said, 'Why didn't you just take him to McDonalds? What were you thinking? You know that this is a divorce situation.'"

"All it really takes is a bit of spit-shine and elbow grease. Don't even need the polish if ya scrub hard enough."
Class: Potentialist
[The definition of lazy efficiency, regular momentum is turned into unstoppable force.]
Age: 19
Birthday: March 26
Gender: Male
Race: Grilod [Draconic Variant]
Height: 5'10"
Weight: 130lbs
Hair Color: White
Scale Color: Purple
Eye Color: Grey
As a member of the grilod race, and a rare draconic variant of said race, Lao has many characteristics normally associated with dragons, and in fact has been mistaken for one in the past. Almost his entire body is covered in hard, purple scales, aside from his face, chest, lower back, and the backs of his thighs. He has a long, strong tail, about three feet long and several inches at its widest point, without any sort of ridges or spikes. It is nearly prehensile, with about as much control as a cat's tail or similar. His arms are plated a bit thicker than the rest of him, with an almost gauntlet-like appearance, and his five fingers have short, blunt claws. His feet are flat, appearing more akin to that of a heavy dragon, ending in three short, thick claws, with one small dewclaw on the heel. Two huge wings sprout from his back, spanning nearly fifteen feet when fully outstretched, and would bump his overall height up to six feet.
His hair is long, shaggy and white, swept back against his skull and reaching to his shoulders. His hairline is guarded by a formation of scales along his forehead, with crawl down to the bridge of his nose in a symmetrical pattern. His ears are long, folded back against his head, and curve gently to a tip. Two horns surround these ears, sprouting from his temples and curling behind his ears to jut forward beneath them. They're mostly ornamental, but are just as hard as his scales. His facial features are somewhat 'wild', with a sharp chin covered in scales, and a hard bone structure. His eyes have slit pupils, and some of his teeth swap molars for canines. Scales trail from the base of his ears down his cheeks to connect with the scales on his chin. His mouth is usually curled in a sort of rakish grin or a bored pout.
Lao is the sort of person to want to do something really badly, but to also not want to put in that much effort to actually do it. He often speaks of hard work paying off and tremendous effort being better than some natural skill, but he usually finds himself lacking the motivation to actually do that himself, despite the rare occasions he has having enormous success.
He tends to be rather meek around figures of imposement, but often openly defies people who try to claim unofficiated power. He frequently calls out others on their bluffs, even while lying or making things up on the fly just to avoid having to explain himself.
He's the type to not care what others think of him most of the time, but there are a certain few who hold the exception.
His ambitions tend to be massive, or they tend to be ridiculously trivial, such as when comparing his 'become the strongest' to 'keep a feather floating for ten minutes without burning it.'
Orphaned as an infant by unknown parents, Lao was taken in by the Copernicus Orphanage, and thus his earliest memories were there. He treated the Copernicus couple as his own parents, and spent a lot of time with the Rhyus family as well. It helped that the Rhyus family's heiress, Neena, was just about the same age as him. He spent equal amounts of time between the two locations, and thus became quite well acquainted with many of the townspeople. When the five-year-old Neena's parents died of plague, he was right there to comfort her and help her through it, taking her to play with the other orphaned children. In their eighth year, they met a townie kid named Trais, who still had his mother. He spent a lot of time on his own, however, and thus joined with the other two in their fun as an official third member. Soon, they became quite the rambunctious sort, 'adventuring' in the town, and later, when they were old enough to venture out without an adult, actually adventuring in small caves and ruins. Lao's utilitarian nature, Neena's magic, and Trais' brute strength helped to form a solid party.
As Lao grew older, he became more and more part of the Copernicus family as well, eventually enough so that Sumia and Johannes decided to adopt him into their family themselves. He took it without much trouble, accepting them as his parents and Cynthia as an older sister in too-short-to-matter time.
On his sixteenth year, he and his two friends decided to head out into the wild world, seeking out some kind of special destiny.
Lao went with no real goal in mind, but as he traveled, he found some. To become the strongest, with nothing that he couldn't overcome. To never be bored, lonely or sick. And maybe, to find his real parents someday.
Lao is a skilled chef, and has actually gotten himself published in a very small cookbook that hardly anyone buys. His most 'famous' dish is something he calls a 'Laocake', a flat pastry with fruit jelly filling and a caramel glaze.
Lao is improvisational, used to quick thinking and unorthodox solutions as a result of his frequent knuckleheadedness.
Lao is fairly educated as a result of his upbringing and association, though he won't become a scientist anytime soon. He can remember how a lot of stuff behaves though, especially how stuff burns.
-Other Notes-
Lao usually carries a vial of scale polish which also operates as a mild corrosive.
Lao also usually carries around a charcoal stick or two.
In actual combat, Lao can either be extremely simple, or completely unpredictable, depending on his resources and how well he's doing. The most important thing to note, is that if there's an environmental element he can use in place of something of his own possession, he'll do his damnedest to use that instead. He's also extremely good at surviving against all odds, dragging things out longer than anyone wants it to be, even when he's clearly losing.
Normally, Lao wields a variety of edged weapons, almost exclusively swords. He wears light armor, sometimes just a helmet, and sometimes carries a buckler. He relies on mobility to protect himself, and tries to avoid blocking.
He uses a sort of in-and-out style when using his blades, preferring to keep just out of range and watching for mistakes in the other person's approach. When he presses his offense, he gets in, tries a few tricks, and gets back out as quick as he can. If the opportunity presents itself, he brings out a full-force attack to capitalize on some fatal mistake.
If he finds this strategy failing, he resorts to some of his more unorthodox methods. He tends to use his biological aspects in combat as well as his equipment, using his powerful legs for kicks and occasionally tackling. His wings can be used to disrupt a foe, whether it be with dirt or a jab.
If he finds himself in close quarters, which he'll often press himself into if his range is outmatched, he relies on a lot of grapples that lead into headbutts or pummels. His punch isn't exactly something to sneeze at, so this can be surprisingly effective.
Lao is also rather fond of bullying and taunting his foes, goading them into mistakes and missteps. Sometimes he'll even take massive risks just to anger someone, tripping them up instead of attacking.
Something rather significant is that he can use fire. Or at least, he can use some fire to blow smoke at his foe. It isn't quite up to the standards of a dragon, but Lao can in fact breathe fire and puff smoke. He also seems to be developing some sort of pyrokinetic power.
Sheathed Sketch:
Lao's favorite weapon, he's always looking for ways to hit with this. It measures about four and a half feet, and it can take quite a beating. Obtained from an artisan blacksmith in Friezant.
Walloon Sword
Lao's secondary blade, the 3 foot slasher is mostly used to make precision cuts, or as Lao might term it, 'damage pumping'. Obtained from a Zeran blacksmith named York.
Possibly Lao's favorite variant of the ye-old poking metal. Sometimes exchanged for the Walloon Sword, depending on how many opponents he expects. Obtained on one of his dungeon plunges.
Tactical Shortsword
A blade that totally wasn't pilfered from some ARK official or another, this blade has a straight edge on one side and a 45 degree tip, occasionally useful for punching through armor. Often used for extreme close range.
[Awoken traits that empower the holder, borne of the magic-infused land.]
•Momentous Charge
As the holder gains momentum and offensive advantage in battle, he gains an appropriate amount of power that can secure his hold on the advantage. With this ability, there is no physical limit that cannot be surpassed, but if the holder loses his momentum, he will suffer a devastating loss of power.
When the holder flaunts his own power or degrades the opponent's strength, the holder will gain a reserve of power to prove him right.

Monday's video benchmark…
Nice to hear them focused on something and moving forward!
Alexis is leading and Nadia is funny. They are in the right roles.
Alexis is going too fast. He has to go slower to add some drama and tension
There are too many cuts. He should play a couple of the best ones and then they should have fun with it. They should play just enough audio to make them laugh, and to make me want to go to FB to see and share it.
There is not enough Jordan here, and he doesn't really snipe when he finally appears
They have to make this about FB throughout. They should say "Ok the whole video is on FB so you can share it with your friend, but we have to play just two quick samples. You're going to love this…"
This is better. Alexis is a little slower and it's right to have just three audios.
Jordan is better and more present.
The have to say the FB stuff at the beginning too, as suggested above.

Wanted To Be Upside Down
Posted July 24, 2011on:
Yesterday was day 5 of half marathon training. It was a nice easy 5 mile run. I felt really good through most of it. At mile 4.5 though, I was starting to get a little sluggish so I just cranked up the music and prayed to God to finish. As soon as I was done, my head started spinning. I had a Larabar before my run, so maybe I just need to eat a little more before I run? I'll figure it out I'm sure. My post run fuel was a wonderful banana (enter Gwen Stefani song here 🙂 )
After that, I had a coupon to cash in
Who doesn't want free undies from this place?!?! Victoria's Secret OWNS me!!
From there it was a grad party and then B. E. D for this girl
Todays Workout
When I went to the gym this morning, I knew I wanted to do something different. I have been eyeballing a pyramid workout for quite a while so I decided today was the day.
Pull Ups-1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1
Push Ups-1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1
Elbow Planks (in seconds)-5,10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45,50,45,40,35,30,25,20,15,10,5
I really enjoyed doing something different, but I found myself getting a little bored after a while. Also, my back started really hurting near the end, so I took out some of the elbow planks and replaced them with side planks.
Since today is Sunday, that means I was a baking machine 🙂 I was originally going to make cookies, but we have two HUGE boxes already, so at the last-minute I decided to skip that and make Pineapple Upside Down Cake. I'm not a huge cake fan, but Matt is. Let me tell ya, this was to die for.
1/2 cup butter
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 can (14-16 oz.) crushed pineapple (juice reserved)
2 eggs
3/4 cup sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
1 cup flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
Melt butter in sauce pan. Stir in brown sugar
Poor in bottom of 8*8 baking dish. Spread 1 cup of pineapple over brown sugar mixture.
Bake at 275* while making cake batter
Beat eggs sugar and vanilla until nicely mixed. Add flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix together. Stir in reserved pineapple juice.
Remove dish from over. Bring temperature to 350*. Pour cake batter over pineapple mixture. Bake for 40 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean. Let cool and then flip upside down onto a plate!!
I *might* have taste tested a little bit from the corner. Maybe.
This cake got the royal treatment. It's sitting on some of my wedding gift china….that has never been used until today.
I'm off to enjoy another piece of cake. Back to the grind tomorrow!!
Question of the night:
What is something you enjoy baking? I like to bake anything, but I especially like doing cakes.
3 Responses to "Wanted To Be Upside Down"
The cake looks good, April! I emailed you about a guest post on my blog runningwithmascara.com but I think it might have went to your spam! Feel free to write me back via email or comment as we'd love to feature you and your blog!
[…] ….and an even yummier Pineapple Upside Down Cake […]

According to a study conducted by Ascend2, email marketing was ranked by marketers as one of the most effective marketing tactics. Email can be extremely successful, but it's most effective when managed and executed in a strategic manner. For businesses in Connecticut, Massachusetts, New York, and all of New England, email marketing can be an excellent way to reach a local audience. For larger businesses nationwide, there are no limitations to geography.
Like any other marketing initiative, email marketing needs to be executed properly. The following guidelines will help give your email blasts the best chance of reaching their intended recipients, and will help you craft more effective email messages.
Large, well-known providers such as MailChimp and Constant Contact are always safe bets. When you're evaluating an email marketing provider pay close attention to critical features such as spam avoidance and usability. Email ends up in spam boxes as a result of several criteria. Some are the responsibility of the provider, however most are the responsibility of the sender.
We've chosen to take a close look at the critical features that MailChimp provides. If you prefer another provider you can use the following as a guide for optimal features.
Deliverability Rate
MailChimp, and most other well-known providers, have a delivery rate of 96% - 99% when using best practices to avoid spam filters.
IP Address Ranges
MailChimp use hundreds of IP addresses that are grouped into different reputation levels. As a result, if you maintain a good reputation for using best practices, your account stays within the IP of like accounts. This way spam offenders are not damaging the reputation of your group IP and more emails will get through.
Sender Email Authentication
ISP's will often consider email addresses as spam if they have not been "verified." MailChimp automatically verifies your email address using three verification methods.
Inbox Inspector
Inbox Inspector works by highlighting, prior to sending, spam keywords and the other elements within an email that spam filters look for. You can then go back and make adjustments accordingly.
The option to select "Plain Text Content" before sending the email
This reverts the text to non-HTML for those computers that are set to send all HTML emails to junk mail.
Spam Filter Diagnosis
This feature works by providing a report that breaks down the reasons certain emails are ending up in the spam box. Email can then be adjusted to eliminate those spam triggers.
Other Features
The ability for recipients to opt in and out of email.
The option to send the message to a friend.
The ability to add an email sign-up tab to your Facebook page.
Today's email marketing providers are fairly well equipped at keeping your email out of spam boxes, however the structure of the email itself must be properly built. Following are the practices that BT Marketing & Design employs to help emails avoid ending up in spam.
Monitor spam rate on a regular basis and evaluate reasons for spam.
Avoid using URL shorteners.
Balance the use of copy and images - heavy use of imagery can be perceived as spam.
Use a valid email address for replies. Addresses such as "Relpy to@..." can be perceived as spam.
It's always a good idea to keep your company email list free of expired email addresses. If too many email addresses get bounced the provider can suspend your account. Email lists can be verified through a variety of providers.
Using the right email subject lines can help increase the chances of emails being opened. Using the wrong keywords can trigger spam filters. The following are criteria that BT Marketing & Design uses when writing email subject lines.
Methods to Avoid Spam
Avoid words such as "guarantee", "free", "call now", "urgent" and "order now.
Keep the subject under 40 characters (including spaces.)
Avoid requests for help.
Avoid use of first names.
Best Practices
Set your subscribers' expectations and clearly state what's inside the email.
Include company, brand name or specific services.
Frame the subject line as a question.
Make it memorable, funny, intriguing and/or actionable.
Include localization key words such as town, landmarks, etc.
Content is king with email marketing. This is a medium that should be designed to engage, entertain, inform and appeal to the recipient. Content should be useful, engaging and appealing. As a result it is important that you're not using email solely for promotional purposes. You'll want to stay in front of your recipients on a regular basis with information that is relevant to them. It is recommended that only about 20% of your email messages be promotional.
Most marketers drop content into the body of an email, click send and hope for the best. You can reach your target this way, however if this is all you're doing you're missing out on an excellent means of identifying potential leads, and nurturing them. Linking content also helps you identify the type of content that is of interest to your target.
Link words within your email to corresponding content and/or pages on your website. Then setup a drip campaign using your email marketing provider. The campaign should include three to four follow up emails that are automatically sent by the platform. This is an effective lead nurturing tactic that can help push a project towards a sale gently.
Tracking the progress of your email marketing campaign is important. Most of the top providers have built in metrics reporting that is easy to use. Metrics are invaluable for educating you on what's working and what's not working with specific content. The following can be tracked:
Spam Report
Deliverability (rate at which your contacts actually received your message.)
Open rate (rate at which your contacts actually open/view your message.)
Click through rate (rate at which your contacts click on links/calls to action in your message.)
Conversion rate (rate at which your contacts become leads/customers after getting to your website from your message.
These tactics, when used together, will help you achieve the most effective email marketing campaign. By using this tactic the right way you will avoid spam boxes and be sure to get the attention of your target audience.
