If you're doing a 1031 exchange you may find that the 45-day identification period goes by way too fast. So today we're going to talk about some tips for locating or finding the 1031 replacement properties to identify during those first 45 days.
Other Trusted Advisors
If you're a real estate investor you may not have the biggest window on the world of all of the potential replacement properties that may be available to satisfy your exchange. So other trusted advisors can be brought in to widen your window of potential replacement properties.
Financial Planner
A very good resource to talk to is a financial planner that specializes in products that satisfy 1031. These are typically either Delaware Statutory Trusts or tenancy-in-common investments. These are syndicated securities that can only be marketed to accredited investors.
Commercial Real Estate Broker
Another important resource that can widen your window of potential properties is a commercial real estate broker that has the designation CCIM or SIOR. These are real estate agents that have specialized experience in commercial real estate and can offer up possibilities you may not have been aware of.
The most important thing is to start the process early. Get out there looking even before you've sold your relinquished property to get a feel for what you may want to designate, understanding that the 45 day identification period goes by way too fast.
- 1031 Hotline: If you have questions about finding 1031 replacement property, feel free to call me at 612-643-1031.

CD-adapco's products allow Felt engineers to crunch massive amounts of data in as short a time as possible. This CFD analysis is really Step 1 of Felt's development process. To understand just how big a role it plays, consider this statement from Felt engineer Ty Buckenberger: "The CFD analysis is an invaluable tool in evaluating and designing our tt/tri and aero road bikes."
Of course, the DA represents a huge step forward in the effort to shave seconds off the clock.
Bill Clark, CD-adapco's Senior VP of Sales and Support, said Felt's use of this technology represents a real breakthrough. "Just a few years ago, Felt's use of simulation would have been unthinkable because serious aerodynamic simulation was the sole preserve of the aerospace community, race car manufacturers and large automobile OEMs, each of whom employ large teams of dedicated specialists working around the clock to churn out engineering data capable of positively influencing the vehicle design," said Clark.
To help model the DA, Felt engineers used a supercomputer called BoxCluster. The BoxCluster is basically the Bugatti Veyron of computers. With 16 processors in one screaming-fast box, it's capable of working through more than 100 billion calculations per second to help guide Felt's pursuit of aerodynamic perfection.
"Felt's simulation-driven design process is a clear endorsement of CD-adapco's central philosophy of increased innovation and reduced cost," added Clark. "They use CFD to explore their designs and to reduce the amount of expensive physical testing."
Indeed, with CD-adapco's support, Felt can build a faster bike by eliminating guesswork and speeding up the development phase. "Basically, it's like having a wind-tunnel inside a computer," says Lane. "Faster computers allow quicker CFD analysis, so we can test many variables—different aerofoil sections, alternate tube shapes, interactions between the rider, frame and wheels—and we can either isolate them or analyze combined sections of the bike."
Of course physical wind-tunnel testing and rider feedback are still vitally important to the process, but those two steps take time. By the time Felt's pro racers get their hands on Felt's latest means of gaining seconds on the competition, they're racing with the confidence that comes from having the most advanced aerodynamics technology in the industry.

"Choose a job you love, and you'll never have to work a day in your life." We've all heard that saying, right? Well, Confucius, it ain't always that easy. We may not have known what we love back when we were studying, sometimes you've gotta hella graft for ages before you can properly achieve what you love, and sometimes what we love might have changed.
More and more, people aren't just doing their nine-to-fives, but also have a passion project - a side hustle, if you will - that they maintain in the hope of it becoming their main job in the future, so they achieve this elusive notion.
Arron Watson-McNab, 26, works full-time as a therapy assistant at a prestigious London hospital, as well as freelancing as a writer and photographer. His side hustle is photography - Faces, Places & Laces - while Dwain Caulker-Johnson, 25, is a part-time retail worker, whose passion is making music, under the stage name DeeWain. Amy Deeprose, or amybakesuk, 26, is a design engineer who uses her design knowledge in the cakes she bakes on the side. In a three-part series, I have quizzed them on how they manage their day-to-day jobs and maintain their side hustle, and how they hope to develop it in the future.
This week, it's Amy. Intrigued by the others, too? Then check out Arron and Dwain, as well.
How long have you been baking and how did you get into it?
It's been 10 years. During my college A-level exams, I began baking cakes and learning to decorate them as a means of stress relief from revision. Then, when the baking got too much, the revision seemed like a break, so it worked out quite well.
What motivates you to make time to bake, though?
Enjoyment, stress release, people wanting to eat cake… Also, it's a creative challenge!
Do you see any return from it?
At the moment, I have only been baking for friends and family, but this helps spread my reputation by word of mouth, so when I eventually start running it as a proper side-business, it will mean I have a larger portfolio to do so.
What challenges have you faced maintaining your baking on the side?
Mainly time. Given that I work full-time, if I have a large cake - such as a wedding cake – I'll have to take a day off work, or plan my schedule carefully, which can sometimes mean a full working day, followed by six hours an evening over a couple, or more, days baking and decorating for an event.
Also, creating content for social media can be a bit of a challenge; making cakes can cost money and isn't something that's as quick as some people might imagine, so having new content is something that can be difficult.
Do you invest any of your own money into your venture?
Yes! On equipment mainly - though sometimes, I'm given a small sum of money towards consumables. However, I am usually giving my baked goods as presents.
Do you consider your baking a business?
While I still feel I am learning, and don't have all my ducks in a row just yet, I feel it cannot be one. However, when I have decent enough portfolio and some qualifications under my belt, it definitely could be - many people have suggested it should!
What is your long-term career goal?
To run my own business part-time cake-making, alongside other business ventures, either in products or management.
What advice would you have for someone who wanted to turn their hobby into their job?
Have a loose plan for a transition period where your hobby won't be a business, but you can use that time to grow your network - it's here where you may invest a lot of your own money. Taking jobs for a small fee, or free, is often necessary, too. Also, the best people to start networking with are your friends and family, and it grows from there.
Definitely make sure you have [an adequate] cash-flow and a business plan that's adaptable, and remember, if you survive a year as an actual business, then that's a massive milestone!

Curly Boy walks! Finally!
Wednesday night, after the announcement was made, the children were playing on a platform. Myself and the other little girl's mother went to set with them to make sure they didn't fall off (it's about 3 feet high).
Curly Boy used the wall to stand up and then walked right past me to this other mom. 1) I was amazed that he walked past me, he's an extreme mama's boy. 2) He WALKED!! Without holding anything!
Well, of course we laughed and screamed, and so all the people came over to see what was happening. Mr. Curly got Curly Boy to walk about 3 feet to me. I swooped him up and we all laughed and applauded and said "woo hoo!" This scared him, so he lunged for the other mom.
But once we all calmed down, he walked again. Until one shoe fell off, then he crawled.
If we can keep his shoes on him, I'm sure there will be no stopping him now!
For those of you wondering, Curly Boy will be 17 months old in a week.

SILVER LINING - MARKETS MATURING IN INDIACreated on 26.12.2016 17:42:32
This means that the number of unsold units with developers will reduce. Ramesh Nair, COO and International Director at JLL India, said this data should also serve as an eyeopener for fence-sitters expecting a price drop, which may not happen.
Nair says this reflects a new reality, where markets are maturing and developers are consciously trying to reduce inventory levels across cities by gradually decreasing the number of launches.
JLL said that the trend seems here to stay for some more quarters. "It will be interesting to see if 2016 sets a new benchmark in units launched versus units sold, surpassing the historic year of 2008 for good," Nair said.
JLL said the demonetization drive of the government will have a shortterm impact on sales, apart from a short-term impact on launches, too, with developers not wanting to launch new projects given the shortterm uncertainty. As demand from end users will continue, any fall in interest rates will drive transactions.This means the number of unsold units will fall and so the pressure of overhang units on prices.
With demonetization and several other regulatory reforms like the Real Estate (Regulation and Devel opment) Act, 2016, the Benami Transactions (Prohibition) Amendment Act, 2016, and the Goods and Services Tax (GST), the time may now be ripe for a market which will see genuine buyers coming back, as a number of fears have been allayed and the sector moving towards greater transparency, Nair said.
"While regulatory bodies are play ing their role from the outside, we see the sector adapting itself from within as well, towards a new equilibrium," he said. The country's real estate markets are definitely poised for growth in the medium-to-long term on the back of higher transparency and further consolidation.
Anuj Puri, chairman and country head of JLL India, said India's Tier I cities moved up to the 36th rank in JLL's biannual "Global Real Estate Transparency Index" in 2016, due to improvement in structural reforms and liberalization of the foreign direct investment (FDI) policy. This will make India attractive for the foreign direct investment in the real estate sector, Puri says.
Consultants and realtors said that the talk of fall in prices in the market is notional, as very few transactions have been completed, even after demonetization. Shveta Jain, MD (residential) of Cushman Wakefield, said prices have already hit rock bottom due to slowdown in the sector. Therefore, the demonetization drive will not affect the prices of housing units in primary market.
On the flip side, if interest rates fall, prices will recover. Any fall in interest rates will improve buyers' affordability, which will increase the number of transactions. The consultant says that where buyers buy directly from a developer by taking loan from banks, there is no element of black money. Therefore, any fall in interest rate will activate this section of buyers. However, prices may start firming up once the interest rates fall substantially, say, to 7% from the present level of 9.25%--such a fall will lead to EMIs lowering by over 15%

Our Lenten program will take place on Wednesday evenings at 6 PM, starting the Wednesday following Ash Wednesday (February 21).
Along with this weekly program focusing on key passages and themes in Luke, there is also a plan for reading through all of Luke and Acts in Lent and Eastertide, starting Sunday Feb 11th.
You can pick up a poster-sized calendar with the reading plan or a smaller leaflet to fit in your Bible at the church, or see the website here: http://www.goodbookclub.org/readings/
Why Luke and Acts?
We love sequels, and Luke-Acts provides a wonderful two-part narrative.
Luke tells the wondrous story of Jesus' birth, ministry, teaching, death, and resurrection.
Acts picks up where Luke leaves off and tells the story of the earliest disciples through the lens of Peter and Paul and the real star of the show — the Holy Spirit.
Written by the same author, the books are accessible, and the story is a page-turner!

Avengers: Age of Ultron Film Trailer
Last updated on November 15th, 2015 at 12:08 pm
With only a few weeks until its release, a new Avengers: Age of Ultron trailer has Hulk-smashed onto the internet! And my word it looks special.
The plot, as you should probably know by now, finds badass machine intelligence Ultron (voiced and performed by James Spader) posing a stark threat to Tony Stark, Captain America, Bruce Banner and the gang.
Back on hero duty are Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.), Thor (Chris Hemsworth), Hulk (Mark Ruffalo), Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson), Maria Hill (Cobie Smulders), Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) and Falcon (Anthony Mackie). Ultron is joined by off-beat henchmen twins Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen) and Quicksilver (Aaron Taylor-Johnson).
Joss Whedon is back directing, and the film also features the likes of Don Cheadle, Andy Serkis, and Paul Bettany – whose character, The Vision, finally shows his face properly, if briefly, at the end of the trailer. Avengers: Age Of Ultron will be in cinema in the UK on 23rd April. Look at the trailer and get as excited as us!

According to a report from the Urban Institute, little attention has been given to the geographic distribution of student loans and how it relates to cost of attending college in a state. The states where the largest shares of college students have student debt are in the Midwest and the Northeast. The Western region of the country has the lowest share of college students with student loans. The share of the college-going population with student loans in a state is positively associated with the average cost of attending a public four-year institution.

Caso Chevron
Sharon Stone Fights Ecuador's PR Firm Over Missed Trip
The Hollywood Reporter 23/03/2015
Late last month, MCSquared PR filed what it said was a "simple and straightforward" lawsuit against actress Sharon Stone for not returning $275,000 after she canceled a trip to Ecuador. The lawsuit demands the money back, plus seeks $77,420 more in expenses outlaid to "accommodate Stone's diva-like requests" of first-class airfare and a four-star hotel. In the weeks since the complaint was filed in a New York federal court, the dispute has become anything but simple.
According to the Brooklyn-based plaintiff, it retained the services of the American Program Bureau to hire celebrities for the Republic of Ecuador. The PR firm was attempting to bring awareness to what the South American country sees as environmental damage caused by oil giant Chevron in its Northeast Amazon region.

Product Listing Adsppcadmin
Product Listing Ads are a specific type of PPC ads that incorporates images, and can only be accessed by eCommerce sites whereby the purchase is carried out online. These Product Listing Ads are triggered by product related searches, and can be spotted on the top left hand side of paid search result pages.
Why use Product Listing Ads?
The advantage of Product Listing Ads is that you can use them alongside any other type of AdWords advertising which means that utilizing both standard texts and Product Listing Ads can take up large portions of paid search engine results than would otherwise be attainable. These PLAs can sometimes have very low Cost per Clicks because of a relatively low competition level, and result in low Cost per Conversion as a result. Traffic that is created by PLAs is quickly growing meaning it's not something eCommerce sites can manage or afford to ignore if at all they need to remain competitive.
PLA Ad Spend Budget
Your product margin and how your competitive the industry is are both going to be key factors as far as setting your daily spending for any specific PLA campaign is concerned. Take note of whether you will encounter high competition and how much a sale on that specific product category is worth. Also set your daily spending budget with this in mind. In case the budget runs out amidst your PLA campaign, your items will no longer show in Product Listing Ads or even in Google Shopping results.
How does Google determine which PLAs to show?
Ideally, the major thing that influences which PLAs show is how well the details associated with them match user search queries. This is the reason why it is very important to employ a well managed and optimized product feed.
In addition to this information, Google also considers the following:
- Bids : Be as competitive as you can but keep in mind your product conversion rate and margins in mind.
- Quality of site : One of Google's goals is to send their visitors to top quality websites and so if your websites is filled with think or purely duplicate content, your Product Listing Ads may fail to show, or may have very low visibility.
- Product/Service performance history : This is ideally the progress/ performance of your Product Listing Ad's historically. In case you have continuously poor performing Product Listing Ads, they are likely to result in reduced eligibility sometime in the future.
Apart from being the best for eCommerce websites, Product Listing Ads have some setbacks which you need to know especially if handled by an inexperienced person.
- Websites that sell few items (less than 500) may find it very difficult to gain exposure
- Highly competitive industries tend to incur high costs and may therefore not generate sufficient return on investment to justify ad outlay.
- Websites with poor quality content
- If your website tends to create numerous 404 pages, your ads may fail to show completely. Therefore, be sure to perform regular checks for the 404 pages and that they are redirected as required.
As soon as you have all the data that relates to your PLA performance, proceed to analyze the performance using Google Analytics to help gain insights on ways of improving your targeting. All these may sound very confusing especially if you are just beginning. If you ever need help, contact PPC Experts to help you handle your Product Listing Advertisements needs.

Today I will be reviewing Bravelands: The Broken Pride by Erin Hunter. Here is the Goodreads blurb:
I was super excited when I first read the new book from the Erin Hunters. I read the book in about 2 weeks. It was so good and it was hard stop reading. I can't choose a favorite character because all three story arcs presented in the book captured my attention. The story was very interesting so I suggest that you read Bravelands!
A lion cast out from his tribe.
An elephant who can read the bones of the dead.
A baboon rebelling against his destiny.
For generations, the animals of the African plains have followed a single rule: only kill to survive. But when an unthinkable act of betrayal shatters the peace, the fragile balance between predators and prey will rest in the paws of three unlikely heroes.
Set in an epic new world and told from three different animals' points of view, Bravelands will thrill readers who love Spirit Animals and Wings of Fire, as well as the legion of dedicated fans who've made Erin Hunter a bestselling phenomenon.
You can find The Bravelands Series on Goodreads. Erin Hunter and their books can be found on their website. I give The Broken Pride 5 Fairies for a great book with interesting characters.

Well, it is not a new year until Daddy Freeze fires at Nigerian religious leaders for 'ill-practices'. Social media users are getting used to the fact that Freeze is a thorn in the flesh of many pastors in Nigeria. The leader of Free The Steeple movement and controversial media personality has come for the head of general overseer of Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye and this time, it is about 40-day fasting and praying mandated for all his church members.
In a clip shared on his Instagram page, the self-proclaimed leader of the Free Nation in Christ questioned why Pastor Adeboye asked his church members to fast for 40 days when in the bible, Jesus only did so at the point he was to be tempted by the devil. He claimed that such practice is against the teachings of the scriptures which states that Jesus has overcome temptation on our behalf and suffering again is time wasting and energy zapping. Adeboye must also explain this his 40days fast that coincides with first fruit. Christ fasted for 40days because he wanted the devil to tempt him so he could overcome temptation on our behalf.
Just recently, Daddy Freeze challenged Daddy G.O to a debate. He stated that If he doesn't want a debate, they can sit over a beer and discuss the scriptures and he will teach him the real truth about Christ for free.

Readers may have witnessed Black Widow perish at the hands of the evil Captain America in the pages of Secret Empire, but a new Marvel Legacy series will send two of her closest allies on a quest to discover if she's actually dead or not.
Announced via ABC News' "Inside Marvel Thursday," Tales of Suspense, from writer Matthew Rosenberg and artist Travel Foreman, follows the Winter Soldier and Hawkeye as they investigate a string of assassinations that appear on the surface to be committed by Black Widow.
RELATED: Marvel Legacy Trailer Hypes Surprise Return of Iconic Character
"She died on national TV, so who's out killing the people she wanted killed?" Marvel Editor Alanna Smith said. "Bucky doesn't think that it's her. Hawkeye definitely believes it's her."
In the epilogue of Secret Empire #10, a panel depicted a funeral for the fallen Avenger, and Secret Empire: Omega #1 introduced the idea that someone was taking an interest in Black Widow's targets. With Winter Soldier and Hawkeye both being former love interests of Black Widow, it remains to be seen whether the two can coexist as they work together to solve the mystery.
Tales of Suspense will launch with issue 100, as it takes place in the Marvel Legacy initiative that begins this month with Marvel Legacy #1.

Why would you hire me?/
Trigger warning: bad writing.
Sometimes I start off with a really solid idea and then I branch out into ramblings. I apologize ahead of time because I believe I slightly did that here.
Why should we hire you... MIKE. While I don't get asked this exact question, it still hangs in the air throughout the meeting. I've done enough meetings with potential brides and grooms to read their expressions like a packet of Cliff Notes guide to meeting with wedding photographer.
So first there is the nodding expression where they are thinking "This is going to be expensive" . In truth it is going to be expensive. You're hiring me to document a day that can't be repeated, it's high stakes. I'm also showing up with enough equipment to put a downpayment on a house with.
There's the other hinting of body language and facial expression that spell out we don't want anything extra, book, flash drive, online gallery; we just want the digital photos. That's great that you know what you want and yes, just say that right off the bat.
Sometime's I meet with just the bride and sometimes with the bridal couple. Meeting with one person is always easier because you have their complete focus. I'll also be completely honest in saying that the bride to be usually makes the calls when it comes to the details of the wedding. When I have a potential bride and groom in front of me throughout my pitch they will sometimes show their cards. When we get into price and start talking about what they're looking for. I'll start running through the different options and when I run across something they don't want they instinctively look at each other. They say it with their eyes "we talked about this before, I don't want this" and with a look back i'm able to course correct and steer them with options they do want.
The meetings are really just to see if we vibe, I already know I can shoot your wedding blindfolded and you know I can too. It can come down to a few things for a bride, i'll name the top three. First, do you like me? I'm going to spend all day with you and hopefully we get along right off the bat because I will spend more time with the bride on her wedding day than the groom. Secondly, do you like my photography? I have lots of different lenses and I'm with you for the whole day so I tend to have lots of different looks to my photos. Third, does my price work for you? I'm flexible on price to a point. I really want to shoot weddings and make people happy but it costs money to be a well rounded photographer.
Okay so I wanted to convey a little bit about the meetings above. But here's the truth of why you would to hire me as your wedding photographer. I'm committed to getting you awesome photos on your wedding day. My goal is to keep you on schedule, be your cheerleader, help out where I can. I've been known to bustle a dress, fit a corsage, straighten ties, deliver flowers, escort grandmothers and dance with kids. This is my full-time job, that means you message me at ten at night, i'm most likely going to be responding by ten ten. I've even taken the time to write out every single question that I've been asked in the past few years, sometimes a bride won't actually voice these questions so I've found it helpful to write it all out. I have enough gear, equipment and batteries to shoot three weddings in a row without recharging. I've been shooting weddings for over ten years. I actually like photography and do that in my spare time.. for fun. When I do a good job with weddings it leads to more weddings which means better equipment, sharper photos, more unique aspects. I'm constantly rolling my money back into my photography, so developing myself more. Every year I add a few more tricks to my wheelhouse. I also travel a lot, eighteen countries and twenty four states; that means I don't mind flying to your wedding to shoot. I would be happy to give you any bride and groom's contact info and have them tell you how much fun they had with me. Friend me on Facebook, Follow me on Instagram to see exactly who you would be getting as a wedding photographer; I won't disappoint.
So i'll use an analogue to describe wedding photography. When you go to Best Buy and stand there and look at all the TVs you can see the difference between each one pretty easily. They're all next to each other, same dimensions, same brightness, maybe color is different on this other one or another is a bit smoother with the resolution. When you eventually pick out a set you're getting it because the price worked for you. When you get that TV home you're going to fall in love with it and brag to your friends about your big tv. I will say that I certainly don't think back to that Samsung with the high gloss black finish when i'm sitting watching my tv.
It's partially the same with wedding photography. We're going to all do essentially the same thing, capture photos of you on your wedding day, the best we can or know how. If you stack me up next to other photographers you'll see i'm better than some but not than others. All I can offer is my uniqueness, perspective and skill. But when you have your photos, your memories you won't be second guessing who you went with. I imagine you're going to be pretty happy. I can't really trash other wedding photographers because most are not terrible, most just do it a bit differently then I do, different equipment, different focus or limited or unlimited experience that they may have. Most of my friends are actually photographers so I have that unique viewpoint of knowing how lots of other photographers operate. So do you research before you commit, drill your wedding photographer, ask me a million questions.
Any of the above will make me happy.

As summer puts every movement into slow motion, the season's bounty offers an easy opt-in to involved entertaining. "This is not the time for making complicated food," The Sunday Telegraph columnist Diana Henry says in her newest cookbook, How to Eat a Peach. Plucked at their peak, fresh cherries offer unrivaled flavor, and here, they're simmered in wine and served over whipped cardamom cream, with pistachio shortbread for dipping.
For the cherries:
1¼ cups granulated sugar
2¼ cups Valpolicella, Pinot Noir or other cherry-ish red wine
2 broad strips of unwaxed lemon zest
2 lbs. sweet or sour cherries (pitted or unpitted)
3 Tbsp. kirsch (optional)
Squeeze of lemon juice (optional)
For the shortbread:
1⅔ sticks unsalted butter, slightly softened
⅔ cup powdered sugar, plus more for serving
Pinch of sea salt flakes
Finely grated zest of 1 unwaxed lemon
1½ cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
⅔ cup cornstarch
1 tsp. rose water
1 medium egg, lightly beaten
½ cup shelled, unsalted
pistachios, chopped
Candied rose petals (optional)
For the cream:
Seeds from 4 green cardamom pods
1¼ cups heavy cream
Powdered sugar (optional)
To make the cherries, combine the sugar, wine, strips of lemon zest and a scant cup of water in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring to help the sugar dissolve, then continue to boil for 8 minutes. Reduce the heat and add the cherries, letting the mixture simmer for 4 minutes. Lift the cherries out of the saucepan with a slotted spoon and place them on a rimmed baking pan; they will stop cooking if they're not touching one another.
Let the syrup cool, then taste and add a slug of kirsch if you want to, or a good squeeze of lemon juice to cut the sugar a bit, depending on the sweetness of the cherries. Put the cooled cherries in a bowl and pour the red wine syrup over them.
To make the cookies, use a mixer to beat together the butter and powdered sugar until creamy, then add the salt and lemon zest and beat again. With the mixer set on low, add the flour, cornstarch and rose water, mixing until combined. Remove the dough from the mixer, and on a lightly floured surface shape it into a log about 2½ inches in diameter. Brush the outside of the dough with beaten egg, then roll it in the pistachios. Carefully wrap the log in foil and chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
Preheat the oven to 350° F. Cut the log into disks about ⅛-inch thick and arrange them 1 inch apart on cookie sheets. Bake for 15 minutes—they will turn a little golden around the edges—then let cool for 10 minutes. Carefully lift the baked cookies onto a wire rack with a metal spatula. Before serving, sift a little powdered sugar over the top and scatter with candied rose petals.
Grind the cardamom seeds in a mortar and pestle or spice mill. Pour the cream into a bowl and add the cardamom, then whip the cream to soft peaks, adding powdered sugar to taste.
Serve the cherries over the cardamom cream alongside the shortbread.
Serves 6.

I like that yellow is now mustard, red becomes either tomato or a burnt ruby and blues turns into a midnight hue or simply a deeper royal blue. To complete the palette greens and grays add a little something extra. This is why I love Fall - muted colors taken from the rustic country side. In a future post I will show some pillows I am in the process of making, which definitely will show you my true feelings for vintage/muddy colors.

Dining Room Table In Fondren Home
This project was a follow up to another table we built for the clients church. We used blacksmith finished steel, maple, & cherry. We finished the wood naturally to use the coloring for design. We also used a board of maple that had some darker coloring to it as an accent in the main body of the table. The striping section is bread boarded into the maple section of the table. The table is balanced out by a strip of cherry on opposite end. It is also bread boarded to the maple.
The client was very please with this project, and he continues to use and refer us today.
This project is in the modern style in which we specialize.

Instructions for OSX
If you want to get ofxKinect up and running as quickly as possible, you'll need the latest Xcode (3.2.5 right now) and either version 61 or 62 of openFrameworks. Here's how I got Theo's ofxKinect demo and Dan Shiffman's Processing demo running in 10 minutes after struggling with manual builds for hours:
Plug in the Kinect - you may have to unplug and replug, close Xcode and start again to get it going - flashing green means it's still waiting to connect.
Download Theo's ofx project here:
Drop the whole folder into the openFrameworks folder of_preRelease_v0061_osxSL_FAT in /apps/examples
---> Make sure you you have the LATEST Xcode, version 3.2.5 <--- This was my mistake, easy if you have it.
Go into Theo's folder (currently called ofTheo-ofxKinect-78ad750) and find ofxKinect.xcodeproj
Double-click on that, when it opens in Xcode hit build and run. It'll take a minute or so.
That's it. It's a start. Shiffman's Processing app now works (you'll need Processing 1.2.1), as does the TuioKinect app (but not the Xcode project, for some reason).
Good Luck! - Dave Pentecost (MacBook Pro, 10.6.4)

text: I think it's a serious necessity. I've been planning for my future since middle school. Making poor quality slides and spreadsheets about where I should go to college, what scholarships I should apply for and what my career would be. Call me an odd child but I went straight OCD when it came to planning. This could have been a result of me being JUST old enough to realize what it meant when the stock market crashed in 07'. I think my generation is very aware of what can come about as a result of poor planning. We may procrastinate on a lot but everyone who I'm surrounded by prefers having a 5 year plan versus "living in the moment". That statement is only good for using on a fire Instagram caption.

Six Steps to Me - Building Healthy Identity for Next Gens
When you think of the legacy you want to leave behind, consider more than the financial legacy. Consider the legacy of a family of individuals with a healthy sense of themselves and their place in the world. Inheritance can be a troublesome gift to those that are emotionally unprepared. I am a psychologist who specializes in psychological issues surrounding the transfer of wealth. My job is to help families prepare for and successfully manage the complicated decisions around inheritance. To optimize the "human capital" in the family, and prevent problems down the road, one of the healthiest things you can give your children is a strong individual identity. By identity I mean that a person is consistent throughout different circumstances, and their individuality is distinct.
People with strong identities, no matter their demographic status, have clarity and consistency around their core values and purpose. They evidence alignment of their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. They know themselves and their essence is relatively constant. Their outer image is consistent with their inner image. Their behavior is relatively predictable.
People make better financial, emotional, and intellectual choices when they have a strong sense of self. They have a sense of direction. Their thoughts, feelings, and behavior are in alignment. Emotions are less likely to rule the day. Being grounded in one's values and rooted in the knowledge of self allows for more flexibility in the thinking process. They are more resilient. Getting unstuck is easier. Upsets tend to get resolved quicker and with less drama. Focus and security are attributes in times of chaos and confusion.
Strong identity folks are more able to set goals and work hard to achieve their goals because they are more intrinsically motivated. For example, an adolescent who considers herself a "Mia Hamm kind of person" will not need external incentives to exercise intensely and practice her sport several hours per week. Effort and practice go with being a Mia Hamm kind of person. Similarly, individuals who tie their identity to religious beliefs and religious role models will not need extrinsic motivation to extend themselves by helping others. Helping others simply goes with being the kind of person they take themselves to be. Students whose identity includes intelligence and academic success will not need a promise of rewards, like money, in order to study hard; rather, they study just because "that's the kind of person I am; that's me; I'm a conscientious student. I know I need to study to do well!" Even hard work can be easy and satisfying if it flows from a person's sense of "who I am."
Relationships tend to be healthier when one has a healthy sense of self. When one knows and appreciates themselves, they are more likely to make better choices of partners. There is less dependency in the relationship, and thus more ease. Having a sense of self is predictive of better boundary setting and more assertive expression of self. How many teens do we know that get into harmful situations because they lack the capacity to say "No." Interpersonal effectiveness is a benefit of healthy identity.
And…drumroll… here's the good part: a solid sense of self is predictive of more contentment. Contentment is different from happiness. Happiness is often predicated on situation. Contentment is a feeling of being alright with the world, comfortable in one's own skin. More energy is available for play, work, and love. Not only do I benefit when I feel content and solid, but those around me benefit as well.
Arguably, developing a strong individual sense of self within a legacy family is more difficult than the same process in families that are not defined or molded around wealth. The most obvious obstacle is the inherent difficulty in finding internal motivation when you know that you never really "have" to support yourself. Money is an easy escape route, allowing the possibility of never having to grow up. Then there is the difficulty escaping the "vortex of success" created by the wealth generator. The wealth generator has benefited in terms of self-esteem and ego building from their success. The inheritor has to work exponentially harder to develop their own success, and even then, often wonder if they could have been successful on their own absent the family resources.
There is an elevated pressure to look good on the outside. The danger is when the pressure to look good is greater than the pressure to be oneself. Struggling and failure are key factors in building internal strength. Legacy families have the potential to take the potential for struggle and failure off the table for their children. There is often a profound sense of isolation, as children of wealth do not "fit in" with 98 % of people their age. These children's experience of discrimination, fear, jealousy, and contempt of others has the potential to erode identity as one begins to hide or be embarrassed about one's roots or circumstances. False selves and facades are ways to be able to fit in. If you are a legacy child, ask yourself what you lost as well as what you gained from your inheritance.
Here are the steps that I have found valuable in building sense of self. Pass on this gift to your children!
Own it. All of it. Take 100% responsibility for the way your life is turning out. Only when you are totally responsible can you experience the elegant and harnessed power that resides in your true self.
Find your passions in life and commit energetically and spiritually. 'Spiritually committed' might not involve a religious practice, but will involve a sense of meaning and purpose.
Know why you do what you do. This involves honest dialogue with yourself. Are you enrolled in this business course because you love business? Or because your family is proud of you as a business person?
You have five square feet on the planet that is yours. Make conscious decisions about whom and what gets to occupy this space. Learn to set boundaries. Only say Yes when you really mean Yes. Get better at saying No.
Get comfortable with all the parts of yourself. For better or worse. Imagine yourself as a jigsaw puzzle with all the pieces different sizes and colors, but all fitting neatly together. You may not like all of the pieces, but acknowledge them. I have a part that likes to drink tequila and dance. At one time I thought I should banish her. But I like her. She's fun. She just doesn't get to make any decisions!
Be willing to get help when you need it. If you can't find your passion, you can't set boundaries, or perhaps you have some parts of yourself that are self-destructive, you may need help. Therapy and coaching are options. Therapy is more for folks who have symptoms that need to be treated therapeutically. Inherent in psychotherapy is the process of sitting in a room with someone who is reflecting back to you who you are. Coaching is for folks who need help setting goals and achieving them. Good coaching will help provide a rudder and some accountability.
As a psychologist and someone who is passionate about helping people find their own true selves, I can tell you that the steps I have described are easier on paper than on the streets. I have been privileged to work with many folks, next-genners and others, who find their best self. Take Nina, for example, who came to me with a handful of minor legal problems and the idea that she just needed a job to get her parents off her back. Nina is now in a job and at the beginning of a career path that matches her passions and her competencies.
She glows when she comes into my office. She can articulate feeling more comfortable in her skin. I can see that she moves more easily through her life. She is still working on herself. She is aware of being handicapped by parents who focused more on making her comfortable than making her competent. She is better at articulating what she needs from me. Right now she believes she needs someone to hold her feet to the fire. I'm happy to be the feet holder. It's a great job for me.

American elections are absolute marathons. The Republican primaries started in 2011, followed by the Democratic & Republican conventions, and finally the debates and campaign season. And we're still a week away. Consider this. The last British election, in 2010, was a month long. The longest election in Canadian history was 74 days. However, unlike the United States, we have a Parliamentary system which is very different to American elections. Americans get to elect their leader directly. We don't. We elect a party, through Members of Parliament. Think of it this way: We elect members for the House of Representatives. Whoever has the most members of the House would have control of the government. Our Prime Minister is a member of the House. Canada's Senate, like the British House of Lords remains largely unelected and its power is limited. The House is by far the most dominant, eliminating a confrontation between the House and Senate.
Of course, a major problem with many voting systems is the idea of the popular vote. In Canada, in a multi-party system, a party can gain power with under 50% of the voters and have absolute control. In the United States, the electoral college can anger many voters. In 2000, Al Gore won the popular vote, but lost the election. This could happen again in this election and could cause a hostile reaction.
Talking to Wy Spano, Founder and Co-Director of the MAPL program at the University of Minnesota Duluth, he explains "I would think the worst possible outcome, in terms of partisan reaction, would be for Romney to win the popular vote but Obama to win the electoral college vote. This is what happened in 2000: Gore won the popular vote but Bush won the election after the Supreme Court intervened to stop the Florida recount. Despite that, Obama appears to be so viscerally hated by many Republicans that his losing the popular vote and winning the presidency would create even more partisan gridlock than there is now, and there's plenty now."
Despite the partisan anger that can occur through an electoral college system, the American system is brilliantly crafted to allow for a separation of powers. Unfortunately, as many Americans can see, this has its downside. It's very difficult to pass anything with such separation. Parliamentary democracy is a bit different. Elections can turn out two ways. The first way is through a majority victory. If one party is able to win the most amount of seats in Parliament, they essentially have absolute control. They can enact the legislation they wish. Of course, this allows for things to get done. The downside is that the opposing party is powerless and the electorate may be very unhappy with what's going on. Elections are more clearly defined in our system. Problems can't be blamed on the other side since all decisions are decided by the governing party.
The second outcome is a minority victory. This happens when one party doesn't have a majority, but has the most seats. Usually, the winning party can then form a coalition with another party or work with other parties depending on the legislation.It fosters bi-partisanship, something severely lacking in American politics. Consider the case in Britain. The Conservatives have been in a coalition with the Liberal-Democrats (think more left than the Democrats) for over two years. In this sytem parties must co-operate with each other. There is consensus in government, but legislation is enacted a little more slowly. The problem, unfortunately, is instability.
In Canada, we had minority governments from 2004-2011. Parties had to work with each other. Unfortunately, when co-operation breaks down, elections are called and they are called often. We had an election in 2004, 2006, 2008, and 2011. Even though our elections are over in about a month, Canadians were generally exhausted with the constant elections. The positive side? We, generally, can work together.

Alaska HolidaysReference WW38993
With awe-inspiring scenic beauty, enormous ice-age glaciers and abundant wildlife, Alaska is like nowhere else on earth. You'll find a wide variety of activities in Alaska, everything from the mild to the wild. Whatever you do, travelling in Alaska is just plain fun!
If you want to see wildlife, Alaska is the place to visit. Bald eagles gather by the hundreds, moose cause traffic jams and millions of salmon spawn in its rivers. Take a guided tour through a national park or wildlife refuge to see moose and caribou or a boat tour to see otters, whales and porpoises. No matter where you go, you'll find an amazing variety of watchable wildlife.
Come see the ancient, enormous rivers of ice that sculpted Alaska's mountains. You can get up close to glaciers on cruise tours and day cruises in many areas of Alaska including Glacier Bay, Kenai Fjords and Prince William Sound. These trips offer a wonderful glimpse of coastal Alaska with its dramatic mountain scenery and tidewater glaciers
Flying is a way of life in Alaska and a trip to Alaska would not be complete without a flightseeing excursion. Get a bird's eye view of this great land as you circle majestic Mt. McKinley, take a floatplane to a wilderness lodge or land on a glacier in a helicopter.
In Alaska, you can explore the wilderness by day and sleep in a warm bed at night. Guided trips and tours take you to a variety of remote – or not so remote – places where you can enjoy almost any outdoor interest. Stay at a backcountry lodge for fly-fishing and bear watching, or join an expedition to one of Alaska's remote parks forests or refuges.

I swore I would stop talking about Intelligent Design, but I've slipped up in comments elsewhere and stuck in a sentence or two. I guess I can say what I like on my own blog, though.
Something I have tried to impress upon my daughter is that sloppy language leads to sloppy thinking. I think this is particularly true in the whole evolution/ID - well, I can't call it dialog, because both sides are talking past each other.
Some time ago I read the sequel to Jurassic Park (and found it disappointing, shallow and stupid, unlike JP which was very good) and I found a statement that I will have to paraphrase, because I can't find my copy to quote directly. The statement was to the effect that dinosaurs evolved a family structure because they needed to.
Okay, the way natural selection works is that changes are constantly happening when DNA is passed from one generation to the next. The changes may be copying errors, or they may be caused by some mutagen, or they happen for some other reason. Anyway, sometimes those changes are disastrous, and the offspring can't live. Sometimes they don't make any difference. And sometimes when they happen in a particular species living in a particular environment, they give the offspring some advantage so that it is better able to pass its DNA, with that alteration in place, along to the next generation. Over time the changed DNA and whatever physical way it manifests itself becomes more prevalent in the group. That's it in a nutshell.
But the change has to happen first, in a strictly random manner, and then prove advantageous or not. To say that any characteristic evolved "because it needed to" is completely incompatible with the idea of natural selection. One could argue that it's just an informal way of stating that the environment was such that only the dinosaurs that randomly acquired family structure could survive. But the problem comes in with the ID debate.
I know there is more to the concept called Intelligent Design than "something or someone caused this to happen". I've read Darwin's Black Box, and I'm frustrated by the fact that my background in life sciences is insufficient for me to determine whether Behe's arguments hold water or not. But I will say that if, for example, God brought about the dinosaurs using whatever combination of natural selection and direct design he found appropriate; and then he thought that it would be interesting, and they would have a better chance of survival, if they formed family groups, and then he caused that to happen: that makes sense. It flows. It's internally consistent.
I'm not saying that dinosaurs didn't get their family structures from natural selection in its purest form. I don't know how they got them. I don't know that they did in fact get them. But I do know that if a scientist insists on excluding the idea of a designer with unmerciful rigidity, then he should be rigorous in excluding sloppy language. He should be able to state his ideas in such a way that they make perfect sense without the concept of a designer deciding something was "needed" or whatever. Otherwise it looks like he's trying to have it both ways.

James Vincent McMorrow - "Cavalier"
This song from James Vincent McMorrow is incredible. It is one of those songs that give me a chill up my spine when I hear it. McMorrow's newest album, Post Tropical, comes out January 14th (which is too far away, in my opinion), but for now, "Cavalier" will have to satisfy your ears.

One of the PSP's most popular RPGs will get a makeover for the Vita thanks to Falcom as the Legends of Heroes series soldiers on. The first version came west thanks to Ghostlight in Europe and XSeed in the States, back in 2011, hopefully one of them will pick this version up.
With updated graphics and voice track, get ready for another run through the adventure, or enjoy it for the first time in 2015. Wonder if it'll be based on the PC version (video below) or a dedicated port?
UPDATE: Xseed is registering sites left, right and centre for its upcoming games, with one of the being Legend of Heroes and another for Corpse Bride, so look for big things from the publisher this year.
