What is EAM and When to Implement it into your Business
EAM can be an effective application for any business, large or small, looking to manage and maintain their physical assets.
However, before diving in to an EAM (Enterprise Asset Management) system, it's important to understand what your business assets are and what best way to manage them.
Planning for Enterprise Asset Management
In asset-intensive industries – such as mining, road, rail, ports and air travel – you need to be able to manage your business assets and equipment. You want to ensure that your assets perform well and last, whilst costs and quality are kept under control.
All limited companies in the UK need to record their assets in their tax return every year, including total value and depreciation.
The definition of an asset can differ from industry to industry. For a property of facilities business, their assets are the physical property and land. For IT, assets will be IT infrastructure and devices. Utilities business will class their electrical or water grid system as an asset. Councils will have buildings, roads, housing and care homes as their assets.
What are the Key Challenges of Managing Assets?
Challenges in asset management are varied and often come from problems with systems, planning and inputting. Some of the most common challenges in asset management are:
- Calculating depreciation and the value of assets
- Ensuring the longevity of the asset through time maintenance
- Monitoring and maintaining accurate records
- Managing tasks such as repairs
- Health and safety issues may only come to light after a negative event has occurred
- Quality and efficiency of assets
- Cost management and projection
- Gaining a holistic overview of an asset lifecycle
One of the easiest, most efficient and cost-effective way of managing these assets is through using EAM software. EAM provides a full, integrated overview of your business assets.
What is EAM Software?
EAM software is a computerised system to help businesses manage and maintain the physical assets that they rely on. They tend to be used by larger organisations with users across multiple sites, to help see the bigger picture.
Enterprise Asset Management focuses on managing the lifestyle of physical assets in order to maximise the length of use, reduce costs, and improve quality and efficiency.
In this context, "Enterprise" means the way that assets interact across the company. This includes input from a number of other departments and locations, even support departments such as Human Resources. EAM assets are usually fixed; buildings, machinery and plants. But can also include moving equipment like ships, vehicles and aeroplanes – so needs careful planning.
Collecting the data you need, then taking the time to analyse it can all impact on the effectiveness of an asset management strategy. This can be especially difficult if assets are spread out across locations and managed on-site by different teams. You need to be able to assess your bottom line quickly, and ensure that your assets remain profitable.

Why Should you Implement EAM Software?
One of the key reasons to use an EAM application is that it can provide a complete view of assets and infrastructure, and allow for future planning. It can let you see the tools that are available to help meet the business' priorities – including finance, skills, materials and data.
EAM systems can also provide you with information through the entire asset lifecycle, not just a snapshot at a point in time. It can support your business in a number of ways right from the start, including:
- Design and commission
- Asset accounting and financial management
- Operation, maintenance and service management
- Asset tracking
- Stock ordering, inventory management and supply chain
- Management of documents
- Scheduling, time tracking and space management
- Assigning responsibilities and locations
- Fleet tracking and management
- Project management
- Human resources and payroll
EAM software can even support with more detailed tasks such as maintenance scheduling and warranty management. It can help you to standardise activity, and make better connections between the organisational strategy and day-to-day running.
The ultimate goal of an asset management software is to ensure that your assets remain as profitable as they can. A good system can even help you to stay one step ahead and gain competitive advantage.
How is EAM different to CMMS?
You might be thinking that this all sounds like your current computerised maintenance management system (CMMS). Whilst there are some similarities between EAM and CMMS software, they're not the same.
A CMMS is used to manage maintenance. Whereas, EAM software manages the entire lifecycle of an asset.
Read Now: The Real Difference between CMMS and EAM
By managing assets based on risk and need, businesses can prioritise their work and improve the way that they manage their assets. EAM can even help to keep assets at their best by implementing shorter response times and better maintenance.
Having access to data and real-time reporting in the field is an essential feature of an EAM system, allowing businesses to react to maintenance and inspection needs. The information is all available at the touch of a button (or two).
This access to data also means that safety issues and incidents can be reviewed and input straight away. It can even ensure that you have all of the data needed before inspections or projects begin.
Another great feature in EAM software is that they can often be managed on a mobile device, meaning that assets can be monitored on-the-go. This is particularly useful if you're relying on field teams to input data and act on reports.
A good EAM can be the difference between being profitable and struggling to keep up with your competitors. It's important to invest in a strong supporting tool to make sure that you stay ahead of the game.
Who should use EAM?
Simply, any person responsible for the following:
- Finance, procurement and accounts management
- Maintenance and operations teams
- Directors with legal responsibility for asset management
- IT teams with responsibility for asset management
- Security team
- Auditors
- Change Managers and consultants
- Customer service and support teams with links to asset management

Ashburn is considered the very heart of Northern Virginia's affluent "hunt country." Here the tradition of fox hunting has endured since the colonial era. The community of about 45,000 lies 30 miles northwest of Washington, D.C., where a large percentage of residents work.
Visitors in Ashburn around Memorial Day can tour the very farms that gave this scenic region its nickname. The Virginia Hunt Country Stable Tour annually provides tourists with a look inside several of the farms, barns and estates of old. Each fall, Ashburn visitors have abundant opportunities to attend steeplechase horse races. One of the more famous events is the Virginia Fall Races weekend, which takes place at Glenwood Park in nearby Middleburg each October.
The Northern Virginia countryside is gently rolling and picturesque. An ideal way to explore the serene terrain is on two wheels. Conveniently, Ashburn is located along the Washington and Old Dominion Trail, and Get Out & Go Tours offers daily, weekly and monthly bike rentals. Explore all or part of the paved 45-mile trail.
The Ashburn Ice House is an excellent way to cool off on a hot summer day while getting fun exercise on ice. The indoor rink offers skating and hockey lessons and skills classes.

After I told my father about my new book – a story about a boy who leaves his hometown for the first time in his life to climb a mountain he shared with me a few sentences about an old friend of his.
Grown up between the mountains in Switzerland he climbed several 4k mountains. Meaning: Mountains 4000m + above sea level.
It's a straining tour. Each time a play with life and death – a real adventure.
But what was also interesting: Once at the top, and despite the long straining climb, mostly the adventurers spend only about 15 minutes up there. Perhaps eat something. Enjoy the view. And then pack their luggage and prepare for the descent.
Why on earth would someone risk his life, and climb his way up for hours – for – 15 – minutes?
There must be something within the climb itself. Even if it is nasty, challenging, cold, dangerous. Once at the top we seek for the next challenge.
As if the "top" was a signpost which gives direction – but once reached the target, every signpost becomes meaningless. We will move on.

I am new to this site, many thanks for accepting me.
I had a mastectomy 23 years ago, at the age of 39, I had 15 lymph nodes removed and several were positive. I had chemotherapy and radiotherapy.
About fifteen years ago I had an silicone/saline permanent expander implant inserted, the surgeon said it would give me a cleavage.
Earlier this year I started to get eczema, I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism seven years ago and Doctor said the eczema could be associated with been hypo.
This week I notice what I thought was the eczema on my mastectomy scar. On closer examination I feel it is not eczema as it is not a rash as such, just a redness of the skin on the scar. Today I can now feel a small hard lump (smaller than a pea) on top of the implant, under my skin, about an inch above the scar but to the right of the redness.
I am worrying myself sick and have made an appointment to see my Doctor tomorrow.
Could it be a reoccurance after all these years?

The glue that keeps it together8 January 2018
The glue that keeps it together
Effective adhesive is very much the swan of the packaging world, frantically kicking its legs under the surface to look graceful and purposeful above. Emma-Jane Batey speaks to industry players and brand owners to appreciate how the right adhesive can literally keep a product together.
Adhesive is one of those things that, when it does its job properly, no one really notices. But if it fails, you're sure to know about it. So it pays to make sure that the right adhesive for the application is chosen upfront, because if it doesn't perform as required, it can be an expensive mistake. With increasing awareness of the environmental performance of adhesives working alongside this seen-but-not-heard high performance expectation, manufactures appreciate that this is definitely not a corner worth cutting.
Chris Jenkin from Penzance's Headland Printers Ltd is as passionate about getting the packaging right for his customers as he is about choosing the right materials in the first place. Jenkin tells Converting Today, "We've been in this business for many years and I still chose the materials I buy because of the expertise of the sales rep. I expect quality products and I love it when the rep actually knows their stuff; we mainly buy our adhesives from Intuprint and Print Graphics because I can talk to the reps and get their experience to really add value to what we're working on."
This added value presents itself in the information regarding how the various adhesives perform on different substrates, with Jenkin explaining that changes in the quality of materials available means that each project has to be assessed on its own merits. He says, "We assess how the packaging is going to be used, how far it's going to travel, how it's going to be sold...and we really test the adhesive on different substrates to see what is the most appropriate. For example, we're often finding that we're feeding looser surfaces through the machine as the paper available is changing and really needs to be manipulated with care and it's here that picking the right glue really comes into play. We're tending to use tape at the moment as some hot and cold adhesive applications can crack and distort the substrate, which of course would be very expensive if you have to redo the job."
Make it stick
Respected leading UK adhesives manufacturer Power Adhesives is both the voice of reason and expertise when it comes to hot glue, cold glue, tapes and everything else that sticks stuff together. Basildon-based Power Adhesives was established in 1974 and manufactures a range of hot melt adhesives and application equipment for industry. For the converting industry, Power Adhesives' products are widely appreciated thanks to their fast setting speeds and easy automation, with the company also the market leader in industrial hand-held glue guns that can apply adhesive in dot, bead and spray patterns.
Director Dave Sweeney tells Converting Today how Power Adhesives prides itself on offering a total solution from its unique perspective. "Unusually in this sector, Power Adhesives is a manufacturer of both adhesives and equipment. This means we can look at a user's application with a total solution. This enables us to get an optimum balance between the application equipment and the adhesive, and allows us to develop adhesives that offer the right balance of performance and value."
Not content to just deliver performance-driven complete solutions, Power Adhesives is also keen to stay one step ahead of industry trends, adding even more value to its customers' packaging. Sweeney adds, "Basic packaging hot melts have been available for many years and it is fair to say the market has matured and, with it, the competition between manufacturers has created pressure for ever lower prices. This encouraged some manufacturers to use lower cost raw materials which gradually reduced the performance of the hot melts. These would be less versatile, had strong odours and would degrade in bulk tanks causing filter and nozzle blockages, leading to down time and product failures."
Mr Sweeney explains how a focus on quality adhesives through utilising the most modern polymers allows for reliable high performance. "These new polymers means that more versatile hot melts have been developed and, although more expensive, the reduction in downtime and maintenance costs has seen many users convert, improving quality and efficiency. We've also seen a major change in the various very high quality finishes and films that are being used on many stock materials. These can be challenging to bond reliably, even more so if microwave or deep freeze applications are involved. Fortunately, the new polymers have allowed us to formulate hot melt adhesives that are suitable for these very difficult applications."
Attached to brand values
Brand owners reflect the fact that the right adhesive for their packaging is an expectation, with no tolerance for under-performing materials, particularly when it is essentially the unseen aspect of their product. But performance is only one part of it – environmentally responsibility is also ever-important when it comes to sourcing and choosing adhesives. While the packaging material itself has been in focus for some time with regards to sustainability, increasingly brands are aware that the under-the-radar elements are also influential.
For up-and-coming holistic personal care brand Urban Veda, each aspect of the packaging is a marker of its brand intention. The London-based brand manufactures all its products in the UK and favours working with suppliers across the value chain that work to the same high standards it expects of itself. Founder Sheilesh Shah tells Converting Today, "I had a clear vision of the final product, from the philosophy to the packaging, everything about Urban Veda reflects our holistic approach. Founded on the ancient principles of Ayurveda, all our products are naturally formulated to provide for all skin types while factoring in the effects of environment, stress and dehydration play on our skin."
With this completely natural and effective philosophy underpinning the whole Urban Veda brand, Shah explains how every element of the product ingredients has to fit in with its values. "All our packaging is recyclable, and our bottles are made out of post-consumer recycled plastic. Recycling is like Karma, what goes around comes around. We're proud of our sourcing provenance and all of our cartons are Forest Sustainability Certified. It makes perfect sense that everything we use in our products is strictly controlled as it's the very ethos of Urban Veda. So something as seemingly invisible as the adhesive used in our packaging has its role to play, its place in the creation of our product and our brand."
Sheilesh Shah clearly understands how paying close attention to details supports an overall feeling of brand identity and quality, with his careful decisions evident in each aspect of the product. "While we use block colour on our packaging, we are fond of smaller touches and the finer details too. We use a range of processing while manufacturing our packaging, including matt varnish and gloss varnish for a contrasting look. We also use metallic pantones with a raised ink process to create an embossed effect. These choices obviously then impact on the adhesives required, with our demand for performance as strong as our demand for responsible and sustainable packaging. A key challenge for us is ensuring quality and consistency across our product range when working with different suppliers. It is vital to always be precise and vigilant with any design briefs, and we always ensure we perform a test run before producing large batches."
Although talking in great detail about adhesives may not be the best idea at parties, it is certainly a vote winner when it comes to ensuring product packaging impresses customers and keeps brands loyal to packaging suppliers.

By Lindy Earl
People like the story of the underdog. The smaller, weaker, no-chance person who comes from the depths of despair or heartache or loneliness to beat the Goliath in their life. They overcome pain and adversity to win their battle, be it physical or emotional. It makes for a great story.
A friend told me about a couple she knows who are just absolutely head over heels in love. They met and married when they were both 65. I think their age makes it an encouraging story. How many of us will give up by the time we're 65? Or even 60 or earlier? Sometimes it's not our age, but the length of time since our last relationship. Maybe these two people had given up, too. They were the underdogs, but they made it – the comeback story of true love after a life time of disappointments.
My challenge is that I don't want to be the underdog. I want every advantage, even if it means nobody likes my story. Given my druthers I would have been born a Vanderbilt. That didn't happen. But, in a relationship, I never wanted to be the underdog who overcomes the odds and finds true love. But isn't that what we all are the second or third time around? What are the statistics for a happily-ever-after relationship after 50 or 60 years old?
One of the reasons that stories of the underdogs make good movies is because they are the rarity. The one in a million. There are lots of stories about failed relationships, especially second and third failed relationships. The one thing every divorced person has in common with every other divorced person is that they failed. Isn't that encouraging (sarcasm implied)?
I want to go into a relationship with every advantage – but how? Well, I guess it goes back to what we've been told over and over. First, take time for yourself. Do not divorce on Wednesday and make a date for Friday. It's too soon. I've seen it happen over and over and it's always too soon. That's why the term transition person was created. The first person you date is, too often, just a transition person to get you back in the game. If that person is really great you may be doing them a disservice by dating them when you're simply not ready.
During this time, you need to focus on yourself. Find the wonderful you who existed before a bad relationship destroyed aspects of your personality. Return to past hobbies or create new ones. Take up a new sport. Definitely get yourself healthy by eating right and exercising. This will all create self-confidence within you.
One way of finding this self-confidence is by finding a spiritual plane. Whether it's God or nature or something else, acknowledge that the universe is a big place and find your place in it on a spiritual level.
Next, focus on others. You don't have to feed the homeless, but a little community service, putting an extra five in the collection plate at church, or whatever you need to do to do unto others will help you be a better person.
Once you get yourself together, you'll never be the underdog. You won't be broken anymore and that's good because none of us wants to enter into a relationship with a broken person. You will rock self-confidence without arrogance. Helping others without resentment. Happiness for others without bitterness. This is when you're ready for a relationship.
If you want, you can say that you were the underdog before you overcame your own challenges, some of which were in your head, to be the better person. That's your triumph! No, you won't have a romance of being the underdog and finding love despite your challenges. You'll find romance as a well-adjusted, quality person who has a lot to offer to the person who is out there, looking for someone who is living a great life.
That's Life After Divorce.

The proposed new World Trade Center development plan started off with a bang, lost popularity and recently resurged in the "let's Do" popularity realm (due to the bubblings of economic recovery, no doubt).
Could the WTC plan now be in vogue again because of the giant publisher of Vogue magazine (among many others) wanting up to one million SF in the new facility? You betcha! The magazine biz can't be hurting that much, you reckon?
This was reported in Crain's New York Business by James Comtois:
In the span of about a month, the World Trade Center development has gone from unpopular to potentially Vogue.
After a number of real estate developers began to bid for a minority stake in the once disfavored project, The New York Times is reporting that publishing giant Condé Nast has been talking with the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey about moving to 1 World Trade Center.
In a move that could be a potential game-changer, the publisher may take up as much as 1 million square feet in the planned office tower when it is complete, the Times said.
Currently, the only tenants for the tower-in-development are government offices and a Chinese real estate company. If the publisher decides to ink a deal, it could rebrand the project that up until recently, few tenants wanted to touch.
Due to its cache, Condé Nast—which publishes The New Yorker, Vanity Fair and Vogue—could rebrand the financial district, much in the same way that its 1999 move into 4 Times Square was seen to have helped rebrand the midtown area as resurgent.
In 2007, the publisher was part of a bid for the development rights over the West Side rail yards by the developer Douglas Durst, whose family owns 4 Times Square.
Representatives from Condé Nast and the Port Authority declined to comment.

"THIS game is as big as it gets for us".
Swindon captain Marc Williamson did not mince his words when questioned over the importance of their weekend fixture against league leaders Marshfield.
With just five WEPL Wiltshire games remaining, Swindon trail Marshfield by 43 points in second and know victory is essential if they are to overhaul their rivals and secure promotion.
When the two sides met at the County Ground earlier this season, Williamson's side suffered a batting collapse as they were skittled out for 85 before Marshfield surpassed the total inside 15 overs.
But having only lost once since then, Williamson insists his team are full of confidence now and an upturn in their bowling fortunes has given the Swindon skipper genuine belief that the Saturday's visitors might be able to pull off something special.
He said: "It's very much a case of us needing to win to have any chance of going up this year.
"Marshfield have been the best team in the league this season and are deservedly top, so we have to win to put some pressure on them.
"We're not short on confidence at the moment.
"Everyone throughout the team has been performing. We've been batting well and our bowling has really picked up.
"We've been putting teams under pressure and we've been able to get on top."
Despite a highly impressive away record of five wins from six matches, claiming another precious victory is unlikely to come easily for Williamson's men as Marshfield's record at The Broadleys remains at 100 per cent from their half-dozen outings.
The Swindon skipper says the pre-match message is likely to consist of instructing his players to go about their business in the usual fashion while reminding them to play with a smile on their faces.
Williamson said: "It will be a case of me trying to take the pressure off the guys.
"It is a big game for us, but we just need to go in and play the same as we have done over the past few weeks.
"If we make sure everyone is relaxed and we play our natural game, when we do that, we're as good as anyone."
Elsewhere, Royal Wootton Bassett host Warminster and Purton are at home to Westbury & District.

Open enrollment has already begun for California. It started on Oct. 15, 2018, and will end on Jan. 15, 2019, so there's still some time to make the right decision for yourself. Some changes have been made that may have a direct impact on you. Here's what you need to know.
No More Short-Term Plans
Under Obamacare, short-term plans were offered for three months, primarily serving as a transitional bridge between coverage. Beginning in 2019, short-term insurance plans will no longer be offered in California, the first state to explicitly ban these short-term policies. All health care plans less than 12 months will be banned.
Other states, however, allow short-term plans. In fact, the Trump administration has changed the rules to allow short-term coverage up to a day less than 12 months.
This move hurts consumers who are already suffering from high premiums. Many individuals struggling under the weight of their high premiums health insurance policies often turn to short-term plans that offer fewer benefits at a lower cost, willingly accepting the drawbacks to having less coverage. Now, this demographic is left with fewer options.
Consider Health Care Sharing Ministries
Don't worry! There are other more affordable options. Consider switching to a health care sharing plan.
With healthshare plans, there are no strict open enrollment periods, which means you can switch any time of the year. Health care sharing ministries are organizations that facilitate the sharing of medical expenses between members. Because it's not insurance, members are offered more freedom and autonomy, which appeals to many who are frustrated by the bureaucracy of insurance.
Here's a sample rate sheet for the healthshare plans that we are offering. View rate sheet. You'll see that these plans cost more than half than that of traditional health insurance plans.
If you want to know more, contact one of our Personal Benefits Managers at 800-913-0172 to discuss the best option for you. The New Year will be upon us before you know it, so don't wait!

Allen Township will continue its contractual agreement with PennDOT for road clearing during winter snow events rather than opt out.
Supervisors last month had discussed possibly exercising their option to discontinue their five-year winter services agreement with PennDOT, which leaves their public works crews responsible for plowing state roads in the township until storm events subside and PennDOT crews arrive.
The discussion was prompted by a March storm that left township workers on the job for 18 hours, raising concerns about overtime hours and wear-and-tear on equipment.
Supervisors decided on Tuesday to stick with the agreement when Supervisor Gary Behler's motion to opt-out failed to garner support.
Township Manager Ilene Eckhart said the township will instead explore split shifts and modified work hours as solutions, as well as possibly hiring additional crew workers on a part-time basis.
Public Works employees in Allen are limited to working no more than 11 straight hours.
In other business, the board voted to advertise an amendment to its zoning ordinance for adoption that would change the minimum lot area for single-family homes in the township's rural zoning district from 1 to 2 acres.
Under its new zoning and future land use map, rural zoning – all north of Nor-Bath Boulevard - makes up more than 80 percent of the land area in the township, and includes agricultural security areas and conservation easements.
The township recently revised the map in order for it to match up with its updated comprehensive plan.
Supervisors also directed Eckhart to obtain contract estimates for tree cutting and removal on a number of streets where plantings were done within the township right-of-way.
Property owners on Atlas Road, Buckingham Drive, Hogan Way, Joseph Drive, Kingston Drive, Old Gate Road, White Circle and Wynnewood Drive will receive notifications by mail of the upcoming work.

Genotoxic issues surrounding systemic effects of metal debris
1. The committee on mutagenicity has reported that internal exposure to orthopedic metals is associated with increased genotoxicity. [but the genotoxicity did not result in cancer in humans...I added this.]
[ added by connie: Following were the questions put before that committee in July of 06 (footnote 50):
i. Is there convincing evidence that MoM hip replacements can result in increased genotoxicity in patients?
[This question refers to cobalt-chrome hip replacements ie Co-Cr on Co-Cr hip replacements.]
[This question refers to cobalt-chrome hip replacements ie Co-Cr on Co-Cr hip replacements.]
ii. Can any conclusions be made with regard to the chemical(s) responsible, in part, or fully for the observed responses?
iii. Is there convincing evidence that an interaction between Cr and Co may be important in the observed mutagenic responses?
In genetics, a mutagen (Latin, literally origin of change) is a physical or chemical agent that changes the genetic material, usually DNA, of an organism and thus increases the frequency of mutations above the natural background level. As many mutations cause cancer, mutagens are typically also carcinogens
In assessing the studies, members were aware that a typical alloy used for cobalt chromium prostheses would contain 63% cobalt, 26%-30% chromium, 5%-7% molybdenum, 1% nickel, 1%manganese, 1% silicon and small amounts of iron and carbon. (This is interesting. I had no idea that there were other metals in that hip besides chromium and cobalt.)
At the end of the day though, the evidence for the increased genotoxicty observed and the increased blood levels of Cr and Co in patients with Co Cr on Co Cr hip replacements gave rise to concern because this may present a potential risk of cancer in humans. However, it was not possible to make that conclusion because there was only limited evidence available to suggest a possible interaction between Cr and Co ions and possible DNA damage in vitro (lab tests) but not in Vivo (humans.)
I will explore each of the key references that were given to support the claim that internal exposure to orthopedic metals is associated with increased genotoxicity but no conclusion between that increase and cancer in humans...yet. It will be interesting to look at the discussion topics so we can be more informed about this aspect of potential systemic effects of the metal on metal implants.
Stay tuned for the next post. I think this document is one of the best ones I have come across which
articulates this case for genotoicity albeit, not cancer.

I think the bag is worth the price, and I have always loved the mystery items from BUDK, this one being no exception. I don't know if other people with bad reviews expect to get a $200 sword or what, but I am happy with everything I got. I also enjoy these because our family does it together and it is a fun time for us opening it.
I was a little disappointed with the contents of the bag, but it did have some useful items, and the bag itself is high quality, if a bit small. I'll be supplementing the contents with some hydration and cooking items, but I'm happy with my purchase on the whole.
I've ordered multiple mystery bags and as always it's awesome opening them up but last one I just received today had the same stuff as around Xmas time that's pretty disappointing will have to wait awhile before I order another one unfortunately . But all the other bags were good I've ordered from largest to smallest and a mystery box
We order 2 of these one in December and the 2nd one this month. The 2nd had the same items as the first one. For us that was ok as we each had one now. The bags are nice. A couple of folding shovels, two watches, 2 very large glow sticks , two nice tarps, both came with a guide for edible plants, and survival playing cards, a small saw, did they find a body. One came with a small key chang that had a small knife and scew driver. Not to bad for the price. Would had like a small camp stove but all on all not bad.
I've gotten mystery packs before. But this one, was definitely not worth the $70!!! I'm extremely disappointed with this one!!!
Mine came with a broken strap, the contents were okay, but nothing to be impressed about. Really wish I didnt have to repair the bag straight out of the box, as the bag is most of the reason why I bought this mystery bag. Overall not impressed with the quality. Wish i could send it back to at least replace the bag...
Response: I apologize, that you received the item in that condition. We will be happy to take care of this for you. Reaching out right away!
First I paid $60. For the mystery bug out bag, I am very disappointed with its contents. The bag was nice but I got a glow stick, a deck of playing cards, a compass, a small shovel and a hand wire saw. Not good for a first mystery bag. I wish I could return it and get my money back.
Bag had appx. $60ish worth of ok/good stuff. However the flashlight was a piece of junk, wouldn't work no matter how many different batteries tried in it
This bag is a nice compact size and looks good. Let me tell you they packed alot of badass gear in there we were so surprised it's worth the money if not more.
Awesome ...Got for my boy he loves it...Thanks.....
My wife ordered this for me and was very excited about it. Delivery was in a good time and was very pleased with it.
Best gift my husband got!! Loved it!!
Gave this to our 23 year old son for Christmas. He LOVED it! Nice knives included with his bag and other useful items
Loved all the things inside, very necessary for outdoors , camping and survival.
My husband was pleasantly surprised by all of the extra gifts tucked inside this grab bag. Great value and he loved it!
Not what I expected The bag was perfect and was ordered as a type of gag gift for a member of my team The items inside were different and not what i expected some good some not so good The bag was a hit with the entire team though
Ok. First time buying a "mystery" bag from bud k. All I can say is you will not be let down by what is in it. The bag is not really big boy size lol. Waste strap won't fit around me. Not there fault. Mine lol. But I am very impressed. Going to be turning it into a fire rescue search and rescue bag for wild land search and rescue. Very impressed with the bags construction. I stress tested the seams. They held together and never ripped. I will be buying the next size up bag eventually.
For my first mystery bug out bag purchase, it was a very nice surprise. I am now tempted to possibly purchase the xl for my husband. We shall see.
Perfect gear for a great value which in turn saves me loads of money when buying emergency SHTF gear for my team.
The bag is awesome very well made small but great. The contents surprised me very happy with my purchase.

Novelist Edith Wharton documented the lifestyles of America's emerging aristocracy at the turn of the last century. In her books The House of Mirth, The Age of Innocence, and The Buccaneers, she wrote of the social conventions and recreations of the Industrial Age's elites. Other novels, such as Summer and Ethan Frome, explored the conflicts that developed when the values of the new rich clashed with those of their more modest neighbors. But readers of Wharton's novels may not be aware of her prominence and influence in the world of architecture and interior design.
Before any of her novels were published, Wharton penned The Decoration of Houses with Boston architect Ogden Codman Jr. Published in 1897, the book describes in detail Wharton's ideas of classical style -- concepts that she and Codman would apply later to her own home, The Mount, built in 1902 in Lenox, Massachusetts. An expanded centennial edition of The Decoration of Houses was published in 1997 by W. W. Norton; the same year, the nonprofit Edith Wharton Restoration began fund-raising to renovate the author's home. Following a nearly $35 million restoration, The Mount reopened in June 2002, just in time for its centennial.
Born in 1862 to a wealthy and prominent New York family, Edith Jones Wharton came of age during the Civil War and its aftermath. Because of her family's social standing, however, she grew up in leisure and luxury, with private tutors and frequent trips to Europe. Her early exposure to literature and the culture of the upper classes both here and abroad helped her develop a keen eye for the mores of high society. Along the way, she formed her own opinions on what constituted good taste, particularly in the home.
Reacting to the heavy-handed and eclectic nature of Victorian decor, Wharton espoused a return to the clean lines of classical architecture, drawing upon the artistic and philosophical influences of the ancient Greeks and Romans. She advocated a discipline of interior decoration that would grow out of a building's architectural structure rather than being tacked on in haphazard fashion. She offered the book as a study of "house-decoration as a branch of architecture," with emphasis on "architectural proportion" rather than what she saw as the contemporary trend toward the "superficial application of ornament."
Wharton was not alone in her love for all things classical and European. At the time of the American centennial in 1876, when the country was emerging as an industrial power with its own aristocracy, many longtime prominent families wanted to differentiate themselves from the masses of immigrants newly arrived in the nation's cities and factories. Pride in the American past, complete with roots in England and France, surged into a fervor of nationalism. Because American democracy was seen as a descendent of ancient Greek democratic ideals, architects and their well-to-do clients returned to the classically influenced designs of the colonial and early federal periods.
Homes of this classical or colonial revival stressed symmetry, proportion, and balance, principles that Wharton embraced and applied at The Mount. The house itself is modeled after a Georgian-style English estate house, but it is sited to take full advantage of the surrounding bucolic countryside. Codman and Wharton drew upon English, French, and Italian influences for both the interior and the lushly landscaped grounds. Architectural historian Scott Marshall, who served as vice president at The Mount, writes, "Much of the genius of Edith's design of The Mount is in the skillful blending of the best of French, English, and Italian classical design elements to create a new American vocabulary."
Wharton may have used an American vocabulary, but the examples she used definitely reflect the tastes - and the budgets - of the upper crust. Illustrations from French chateaux, Italian villas, and English palaces demonstrate her favored design principles. She defends her selections by saying that she chose homes more likely to be open to public view, although she also favors a kind of architectural trickle-down theory:
"... [R]eform can originate only with those whose means permit of any experiments which their taste may suggest. When the rich man demands good architecture his neighbors will get it too. ... [E]very carefully studied detail, exacted by those who can afford to indulge their taste, will in time find its way to the carpenter-built cottage."
Ironically, Wharton only lived at The Mount for a few years, although they were very productive writing years for her. She continued her frequent travels to Europe and eventually settled in France. She seldom returned to the United States and spent the rest of her life as a French resident. Wharton died in France in 1937.

The Las Vegas Odds-Makers Favorite Picks To Win
Why Pick Michigan State +550 To Win The 2018 NCAA Championship
Okay, outside of the off-court drama involving head coach Tom Izzo's alleged failure to discipline some past players, Michigan State (28-3) is big, fast, athletic and hungry! Forwards Miles Bridges (6-8), Jaren Jackson Jr. (6-11) and Nick Ward (6-8) are just three of Michigan State's lengthy, stars that I'm talking about. The Spartans have five players averaging double figures in scoring for a team that ranks 31st in scoring (82.1 ppg) and an even more impressive 19th in points allowed (64.6 ppg). Make no mistake about it, dispatching Michigan State in the NCAA Tournament is going to be very difficult – if not impossible.
Why Pick Villanova +600 To Win The 2018 NCAA Championship
The Wildcats (25-4) might be struggling right now, having lost three of their last six games, but I'm thinking that it's a good thing that Villanova is going through some difficulties before the start of the NCAA Tournament. The Wildcats rank first in the nation in scoring (87.5 ppg), but a modest 150th in points allowed (71.2 ppg). Still, Nova has an insane six, double-digit scorers and a head coach that is undoubtedly one of the best in the business today. Point guard Jalen Brunson (19.3 ppg) can shoot it from distance or drive it to the rack with his crafty left-handed layups and swingman Mikal Bridges has the look of a future NBA performer. Five-star recruit Omari Spellman (6-11) is just scratching the surface of his potential, but Villanova is going to be very difficult for any team to dispatch.
Why Pick Duke +650 To Win The 2018 NCAA Championship
The Blue Devils (24-6) are one of the top favorites to win it all this season and they've got a boatload of elite talent starting with freshman superstar Marvin Bagley III, the leading scorer and rebounder in the ACC this season (20.7 ppg. 11.1 rpg). Duke ranks a stellar sixth in scoring (85.5 ppg) while limiting the opposition to just 69.6 points per game defensively (109th). Freshmen, Wendell Carter Jr. (14.3 ppg) and Trevon Duval (10.5 ppg) are going to be one-and-done lottery picks along with Bagley III, the possible top pick in this summer's NBA Draft. What worries me is the fact that the Blue Devils are so young and aren't always on the same page. Still, their talent level alone and elite coaching from the legendary of Mike Krzyzewski could be enough to get them into the Final Four at the very least.

The Smart Picks To Win The 2018 NCAA Championship
Why Pick Virginia +700 To Win The 2018 NCAA Championship
Michigan State, Villanova, and Duke may be favored to win it all over Virginia (26-2) this season, but really, when you think about it, no team in the country has been better than the top-ranked Cavaliers. Virginia averages just 67.5 points per game to rank an uninspiring 309th nationally and you'd think that would make them unattractive against teams that can put points on the board in a hurry like all three of the aforementioned teams. However, when you watch Virginia play defense, you quickly realize why they can beat any team in the nation. The Cavaliers not only rank first in the nation in points allowed (52.1 ppg), but they play some defense that I haven't seen in ages! Just think about it. Virginia limited North Carolina to a mind-boggling 49 points in January and held both, Wisconsin and Pittsburgh to 37 points! That's right….37 points. The Cavaliers have beaten Duke while limiting the Blue Devils to just 63 points and oh yeah, the also held Clemson to 36 points. When you can hold a dozen teams to less than 50 points like Virginia has this season, you can literally beat anyone!
Why Pick Purdue +1200 To Win The 2018 NCAA Championship
While everyone is focusing on Michigan State in the Big Ten, I really like Purdue (26-5) as a 'smart' pick to win it all this season. The Boilermakers have a potent offense that averages 81.7 points per game to rank 37th nationally and an even better defense that limits the opposition to just 64.9 points per game defensively to rank a stellar 22nd nationally. Purdue is also one of the best three-point shooting teams in the country as they drain a blistering 42.1 percent from beyond the arc to rank third nationally while also making ranking 16th in field goal shooting percentage (49.6%). Purdue has a quartet of double-digit scorers and a flat-out star in guard Carsen Edwards (18.2 ppg) and they could be the last team standing come March Madness whether you believe it or not!
Why Pick Kansas +1600 To Win The 2018 NCAA Championship
The Jayhawks (24-6) have a pair of stars in senior guard Devonte' Graham and 7'0" sophomore center Udoka Azubuike and they can score the ball with any team in the country as they average a fantastic 82.0 points per game (32nd) and shoot a stellar 49.7 percent from the field (15th). Kansas is also solid at the other end of the floor as they limit the opposition to 70.8 points per contest (137th). Kansas is playing their best basketball of the season at the perfect time and they've got five double-digit scorers, but still, something about the Jayhawks screams 'be cautious' to me!
The Longshot Picks To Win The 2018 NCAA Championship
Why Pick West Virginia +2800 To Win The 2018 NCAA Championship
Sure, the Mountaineers (22-8) have eight losses on the year, but Bob Huggins' squad also puts up 80.5 points per game (48th) while limiting the opposition to 68.3 points per contest defensively (79th) on 41.5 percent shooting from the field (45th). West Virginia has an impressive five double-digit scorers and a sixth player just off the mark at 9.5 points per game, so they're as deep as any team in the country. The Mountaineers also have one of the best two-way players in the country in star guard Jevon Carter and they're one of just two teams to beat top-ranked Virginia, so clearly they can beat anyone on any given day.
Cincinnati +3300 To Win The 2018 NCAA Championship
The Bearcats (25-4) aren't the biggest bunch of scorers around as they average a modest 76.0 points per game (109th), but like top-ranked Virginia, when you play defense the way Cincinnati does, you don't need a ton of points to win games. The Bearcats rank second in the nation in points allowed (57.5 ppg) and an identical second in defensive field goal percentage (37.2%). Cincinnati beat No. 3 Xavier by 13 points in December and have held six teams to less than 50 points, including central Florida whom they held to a mind-boggling 40 points in early February. Make no mistake about it. In a one-game setting, Cincy can beat anyone!
Seton Hall +10000 To Win The 2018 NCAA Championship
It would appear that Seton Hall (20-9) is closer to mediocre than anything, but I believe they're a dangerous longshot just waiting to upset someone. The Pirates beat the same St. John's team that took down, then No. 5 Duke and top-ranked Villanova, twice this season while also taking out Creighton and a very good Providence team twice. Seton Hall ranks an encouraging 58th nationally in scoring (79.6 ppg) and shoots it well from the field (47.1%, 62nd), not to mention they've beaten the likes of a very good Louisville team and a nationally-ranked Texas Tech team this season. Seton Hall has four double-digit scorers and a star in senior forward Desi Rodriguez (18.1 ppg).

text: NFPA 13-2013 8.2.1 System Protection Area Limitations does not address a penetration of a FIRE WALL. The 2007 code was clear about that, as this was prohibited, it was considered 2 buildings. Should the buildings sprinkler system be supplied from one side and penetrate into the other building, in the event of a fire, you could loose protection for both buildings. This is not addressed in 2013 has the NFPA position changed?

One thing I noticed as a teen teaching myself to pick out the wondrous chords played by Rush's Alex Lifeson by ear was that he used a lot of chords where the top two strings, the B and the E string were left to ring while a moveable chord shape, often a B major shape or more commonly an F major shape (but, not barre) was relocated up and down the neck. Occasionally, the first finger would be on the B string to make a more conventional Fmaj shape but still with that E string ringing, and the whole chord often arpeggiated intricately rather than strummed as a unit.
However, it is the Fmaj shape shifted up a fret to give us the rather weird, dissonant, and suspended F#11 chord (F#,C#,F#,A#,B,E) that powers the opening of the Hemispheres album and was later revisited as the big power chord of "Far Cry" from the Snakes & Arrows album. Apparently it was producer Nick Raskulinecz who had wanted the band to put a modern twist on some of their classic musical motifs and this chord stood out for him. Interestingly, the way Lifeson plays the first position Emaj in the intro with his pinkie adding a B on the third string and there being no G# resembles the modified chords he uses on Moving Pictures track "Limelight".
The "Hemispheres Chord" itself features a lot throughout Rush's early albums in various positions up and down the neck, on The Fountain of Lamneth, in Xanadu, Hemispheres (obvs), later on The Spirit of Radio and Natural Science. Other players have used similar chords to thicken their sound and to give the six-string something of a 12-string sound. If I remember rightly, it features on some Manic Street Preachers songs too and given that bassist Nicky Wire is a massive Rush fan, that's perhaps no surprise. And, speaking of the Manics, they also use one of those Bmaj shaped chords on the song "Design for Life" more on that later in my Classic Chords series. Meanwhile, check out some of my own music influenced to no small degree by Rush, the Manics, and dozens of others over the years.
The Classic Guitar Chords archive will grow from here.
I should add that there is some controversy about this chord. When you're learning guitar, it's a fairly obvious thing to do, lift your barre index finger from an F major and move it around the fretboard, Dream Theater's John Petrucci reckons Lifeson invented it. Alex certainly did it on Caress of Steel (Fountain of Lamneth) with a B and an A type chord at 7th, 5th fret, respectively. But, have a listen to Journey's mid-1970s instrumental "Nickel and Dime"; recorded May – October 1976. Remind you of anything?
Fundamentally, one of the two bands was massively inspired by the other's motif. Journey supported Rush in the 2112 tour at one gig at least. Could Alex Lifeson or Neal Schon have been more than a little inspired by the other, did the jam together and share ideas of this sort? Rush have been great assimilators of musical styles throughout their careers. The Nickel and Dime riffing in the middle is almost identical to the Xanadu rocking between E and the F#11 and arpeggiating the top edge of the chord too…and actually again in Hemispheres, Natural Science and then the ending of Tom Sawyer. Xanadu was previewed live in may 1977 by Rush. So, they were probably both written at about the same time, by two guitarists who heard each other play live on the same stages…

During the last week in July, Drew had a work conference scheduled in Portland, OR. So, rather than taking care of Luke by myself here, Drew suggested I spend some time with my family in Oklahoma. He and I both thought it would be best (and safest) to fly there instead of spending 7+ hours driving there by myself with Luke. I have to admit when I saw the 2 hour and 15 minute flight time versus the 7+ hour drive time, it was definitely more appealing. Plus, Luke travels free on flights until he is two. So, it was set, I would fly to Tulsa and spend the week there with Luke while Drew was in Portland. Piece of cake!
I had no idea what I was in for. Again, I am blogging about this because I want to remember this the next time I decide flying with a young toddler by myself is a good idea. Traveling by yourself with an energetic toddler boy is not easy, to say the least. Our flight was scheduled to depart for our connection in Dallas (where we had to change planes) at 4:15pm. So, we arrived to the airport by 3:30pm. Unfortunately, though, there was over an hour delay for this flight. So, I entertained Luke while we also tried to grab a quick bite to eat so that he would not be hungry on the plane. His normal dinner time is around 5:30 or so. Somehow, this time went by pretty quickly, and as we were eating I looked up to notice they were already getting on the plane. So, we didn't get to go in our normal Southwest boarding order (we were originally near the end of group A), and I now had a bag of food along with my large diaper bag, camera bag and stroller (with Luke in it) to get onto the plane. We finally made it onto the plane and got situated in our window seat at the back of the plane (with Luke seated on my lap), and the largest passenger boarding the plane decided to sit next to us (and partially on us). He was a very nice guy, but I just wasn't expecting him to choose to sit in a seat next to one with two passengers on one side. Luke didn't understand what was going on. I then began entertaining Luke. It is not easy to keep an energetic little 21 month old still in your lap for long periods of time. I pulled out every trick in the book for this flight. Worried about how his ears might be affected, I even pulled out his pacifier (which he only gets during nap times now). Luke was fine until we got above the clouds, and I explained to him how we were so high up above the clouds. He then said to me, "All done!" repeatedly. Unfortunately, we had about 40 minutes left in this flight. He got extremely scared to be that far up into the sky and really didn't understand what was going on. Then, the nice man beside me pulled up a fun kids game game on his IPad that entertained Luke for quite a while. AND THEN....we began our descent to Dallas. We had about 15-20 more minutes left in the flight until we landed and Luke began screaming hysterically at the top of his lungs (believe me, this is very loud). Then, he also began kicking and jumping onto the floor and onto the man beside me. I have never seen Luke act like this in his entire life. It was like he was in terrible pain and I had no idea how to fix it. I hate being out of control like this. I tried EVERYTHING to calm him down. He already had his pacifier in, so I tried to give him some water. He threw that so I pulled out a squeezable fruit treat that he normally loves--he squeezed that all over us both. I spoke very calmly to him...I explained what was happening....I sang songs to him....nothing worked. I asked the guy next to me (who had told me earlier he had three kids) if he had suggestions. But, he just looked at me with a fake smile that attempted to cover his upset face and shook his head, "no." I was so embarrassed, felt so badly for the other passengers, and felt like a terrible mother for not being able to calm Luke down. I tried ABSOLUTELY everything. I obviously couldn't get out of my seat and walk around with him since we were descending. Then, 15 minutes later, we landed and Luke instantly stopped screaming and acting in that way. Poor little guy--it had to be his ears that hurt so extremely badly due to the air pressure during the descent, which was also very scary for him. He is still so young that he can't communicate well enough to explain what is hurting him or what he is scared about. His normal reaction is to cry loudly. As we began deplaning, I felt like I needed to stand up and give a big apology speech to the entire plane. I apologized to everyone near me. Then, when it was our turn to exit the plane, we quietly exited the plane as quickly as we could.
Luke and I went straight to the restroom. There was a line there and several of the women asked if he was the one on the plane screaming. I felt my face get warm, turning bright red and just replied, "Yes, it was him--I tried everything to calm him down and felt completely out of control of the situation." One nice lady just sympathized with me and with Luke, saying, "Poor little guy, he probably had water on his ears or something and was in a lot of pain. It probably really scared him." Then several other women relayed similar stories with their children. It made me feel so much better. But, I heard a couple of women in the back of the line making remarks about how painful the ride was (I'm guessing they don't have children).
When we exited the restroom Drew called me and I just broke down crying. It was probably a combination of being pregnant and having an extreme amount of stress. But, I asked for lots of prayers for the next flight from Dallas to Tulsa, hoping for a peaceful flight and that Luke's ears would not bother him. I also prayed a lot during our layover time in Dallas (our flight was delayed another hour). This next flight went so much better. I think Luke was worn out from running around the airport, from crying and screaming for 15 minutes on the previous flight and because it was getting close to his bedtime. He kept his pacifier in during the descent, I sang to him in a soft voice, and the pressure didn't seem to bother him at all. It was 8:45pm when we arrived to my parents' house. Considering we left our house to go to the airport around 3pm, this ended up being a five hour and 45 minute trip with a lot of stress. Thinking back, maybe driving would have been easier. But when you are a female traveling alone with a small child, you also have to think about what is safest. It was definitely a great learning and growing experience for me though. I was able to remain calm during a very stressful situation and had some personal growth by being forced into a situation that seemed completely out of my control for what seemed like hours.
We had a wonderful time with my family while we were there and Luke did a great job on the flight back home. I will be posting some pics of our trip there in Tulsa in another post. But, I really feel my experience traveling along by plane with a toddler was such a great learning opportunity for me that I feel like I could write a "helpful hints" when traveling by plane with a toddler article. I wanted to at least document it here before I forgot, so I can refer back to this next time I try to do this!
For anyone who is on a flight with a child who is crying loudly, please be understanding. It is very likely that the parent or parents are trying everything in their power to calm their child down. And, the poor little child is not likely simply misbehaving, but may just be in severe pain and not understand what is going on. Believe me, no one wants to be in that type of situation. I know how it made me feel so much better when those moms in the bathroom relayed their similar situations, empathized me and really encouraged me.
|Happy to finally be at our destination, here is Luke, and his cousin, Traber, sitting in Grandpa's lap watching "choo-choos" on the laptop.

Are YOU Truly Ready? Partially Ready Will Not DO... YOUR Universe Always KNOWS How Committed You Are (not). It Responds to You...
Will you DO WHAT IT TAKES to bring peace into your world?
Will you DO WHAT IT TAKES to BE LOVE no matter what goes on outside of you?
Will you DO WHAT IT TAKES to SHINE YOUR LIGHT and to MAKE A DIFFERENCE just by BEING YOUR PURE TRUE YOU?
Will you DO WHAT IT TAKES to vibrate OUT of an old dimension/timeline and into an entirely NEW ONE?
(Click Read More below...) ↓↓↓
Will you DO WHAT IT TAKES to transcend all separation/unconscious programs that you hold within?
Will you DO WHAT IT TAKES to let everyone else be FULLY RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR OWN REALITY while you are totally and fully RESPONSIBLE for yours?
Will you DO WHAT IT TAKES in every moment to ACTIVATE, ANCHOR AND BRING FORTH all of your DREAMS AND DESIRES here while simultaneously fulfilling your SOUL'S PURPOSES & MISSIONS HERE?
WILL YOU TRULY DO WHAT IT TAKES or do you give up, forget, go unconscious, go small, try to continue to be less, tell yourself you can't, are not worth it (worthy), don't have anything to offer/contribute and keep TRYING to hold onto the constructs of an old reality that was never meant to be?
Do you try to quit, focus on things that don't truly matter in the REALM of all things, get distracted with chaos and drama because it's the "safe place" or try to hide still?
When you hold back this is your fear, your lack and this vibration translates to lack in your own world. When you undervalue yourself, you overvalue others/undervalue others..... when YOU are not important enough then this shows up in your world.... When YOUR true you, your PURE SOUL becomes the MOST IMPORTANT THING TO YOU, your whole world/reality changes....
You immediately shift into a NEW HIGHER TIMELINE and doors/portals start to open for you. Your UNIVERSE (YOU) says "FINALLY! NOW, LETS START TO SUPPORT her/him".... yet all along the way, where you still hold doubt, this will present in your reality world as a "test" (initiation) to get that doubt energy out of your cells.... as it was dormant/hidden deep inside your subconscious/unconscious programming.....
Everything is SO THAT YOU CAN...... REALIZE what's really going on inside of you. If it's not totally awesome, blissful, magical and pure abundance, then there's something you are not open to seeing/getting yet. What does it take for this to occur for you?
What does it take to get your attention, to get you to slow down, to pay attention, to focus your energy, embrace your own spirit/soul as the most important thing in your life, to get you to love your physical body vessel and LISTEN TO IT and fully respect it and YOU.... totally.... above all?
WHATEVER IT TAKES to get your heart wide open, to open your mind and get you on-board (this ship), to get your human awake to walk hand and hand with/AS your higher selves/Universe/Soul ... THIS IS WHAT OCCURS....
When you ask the questions "Why are these things happening?... The answer is already there. You have to really truly want to know in order to fully SEE and UNDERSTAND.....
Human only "half way wants to know", because it perceives waking up as a threat. It perceives loss, it perceives the worst and it wants to control it.... and "unfortunately" that's not how any of this works here. YOUR UNIVERSE is you... It knows everything you think and do, before you do it.... IT is a different (higher) dimensional version of you. It's "in your future" watching you, saying "seriously, we have to do this again before he/she gets it? Okay, here we go, yet this time lets make it "stronger" and see if the point gets across this time and if not, next time surely will do it".....
WE ARE IN THE VIBRATIONS OF "Whatever it takes".... to MOVE EVERYONE INTO A HIGHER DIMENSIONAL REALITY/Timeline... continually..... It is a continual process of full commitment to YOURSELF AS A SOUL....
You came here to REMEMBER FULLY and to LIVE A NEW LIFE OF TOTAL BLISS and MAGIC and full ABUNDANCE again. How you experience, how "long" it takes you and when? Well how on-board or resistant determines every bit of this. For time is a vibration. That's it. ♥
Get ready loves... the most amazing part is still to (continually) come. Materialization of realities are how much WE BRING IT FORTH INTENTIONALLY here.
Patience and persistence.... Keep going... your human will get tired along the way, so take a break and honor this. None of us signed on for "easy tasks" as humans, yet as your higher selves/soul you's... it is BEYOND EASY AND SIMPLE.... you gotta get out of your head and open your heart fully to experience this here. ♥
I love you! It's MORE magic and awesomeness time!!!! Always and in EVERY MOMENT! ♥

Information and Support
Everything we provide, share, and offer, is a way for each to choose consciously what each values as important and worth, in supporting and accelerating their own heart-opening experiences here, as well as further activating their own LightBody too. Each one of us does this differently, yet to understand that all is important and serves a much bigger picture/purpose, we start to understand that Energetic Exchange is a way to respect, reciprocate, gift and in-turn support the vastness of what we receive ENERGETICALLY and that all of these things are just tools and ways to activate, therefore it's not about a "thing" anymore.
All are here because they receive something, through the Light Encoded sharings and various ways to activate, elevate and expand by way of opening our Universal/Cosmic heart/ higher mind chambers and Gateways, often in seemingly unorthodox ways. By combining various activation tools and utilizing each for the purposes of stimulating and awakening pure beauty, kindness and a deep sacred connection from deep within, all of these "things" are just something that we each consciously choose to use. The value is not the value of a "thing", yet instead the value of what we decide is our reasonable exchange in order to receive heart-opening Soul activations, which is determined by how we utilize these "things". The value is determine by you, how you value and place worth on your your own Awakening Soul journey, and what tools you feel will most benefit and assist you with this. The value is the value you place upon yourself, your energy and what you choose to utilize to accelerate your own awakening journey and current (LightBody) phases you are in.
The tool itself doesn't matter. Your openness, your making a conscious choice and deciding what's important and how you desire to do this for yourself, as what "things" you feel will most benefit you in opening your heart. Your conscious choice is a very important part of the your own Awakening processes here.
Through our own higher states of love-consciousness, we take the focus off of the thing and we shift it to what we feel will most assist us with our current processes and phases. We shift the value off of the "thing" and onto our energy, our vibration, our LightBody, and what we feel will assist us with opening our hearts to/through more beauty, unity, kindness and love.
Our Entire Value System evolves, as we start to value ourselves and our Light/Energy, we start to value the energy, the work, the contributions of others too.
Here, each is supporting ENERGETICALLY the work, the programs, services, those working in Dedicated Service to create, share and provide the vastness of all that is offered to support, inspire, awaken, assist and consciously evolve.
Each is contributing to a much higher purpose, the Evolution of a much Higher Consciousness HUmanity. Your CONSCIOUS EXCHANGE becomes a part of this. ♥
In essence, what you are investing in, is your own SoulBody/LightBody and you are consciously choosing (free-will) activation tools to work with, in order to further assist you with the acceleration of this. You are exercising a conscious exchange of Love Energy (In form) in order to do this, which will in-turn assist with fulfilling higher purposes and Service to HUmanity roles here.

My home computer was killed yesterday by a glass of water spilling on it (2011 MacBook Pro 15" max spec, it hurts deeply) I need to buy a new system for my house. Occasionally I take work home to edit but most of the time I only do side projects with it like commercials, documentaries low budget films etc. I'm tight on budget now and I saw the new Mac minis that just came out look extremely impressive. I was wondering if anyone has used the newer models with avid and if it can handle everyday tasks mostly from dslr. I'm contemplating between a new Mac mini or a new imac. Leaning towards the new mini simply because I can max out the ram and its cheaper and seems like a better deal. Thoughts?
A small church in central CA asked me to recommend and configure a new system after they were burglarized. Avid had just added the Mac Mini's to the qualified systems list, so we went with that. I added a 25" HP display. With many of your peripherals being Thunderbolt, connectivity should not be an issue.
During their first service with the new system, I shot AVCHD on a Canon Vixia HFM-50, and the Mini had no trouble atr all AMA linking & Transcoding.
It seems like a good value.

Researchers at Matousec have found malware that could potentially compromise nearly every Windows XP system using current antivirus software. KHOBE (Kernel Hook Bypassing Engine) takes advantage of the vulnerable System Service Descriptor Table to trick Microsoft's OS into accepting rogue code.
Few antivirus programs today can protect against an attempt since they can't stop the switch after they've already examined what was believed to be the original code.
The attacks won't work properly on Windows Vista or 7 systems.

"I am the vine; you are the branches. The one who remains in Me and I in Him produces much fruit, because you can do nothing without Me." - John 15:5
There are multiple languages in our culture today. Music, business, agriculture and athletics are all languages that many in our society speak fluently. Reaching people in any language that we speak should be our goal as Christians. Building bridges of love to connect people with God and others is really what our life should be about.
For about 30 years I have coached kids, teenagers and adults in multiple areas from basketball to football and most things in between. This is an opportunity to connect with people in an incredible way. The Bible is filled with the athletic model for life. The clearest observation of knowledgeable coaches however, is their frustration with those they instruct. This holds true with our Christ-walk.
We all have to age and mature physically, but growth and spiritual maturity are optional. We can listen to accomplished coaches explain their winning offensive philosophies, but if we don't try to implement changes in our own lives we will get the same results we have always had. Similarly this is true spiritually. We can go to church, read our Bibles, do our devotions, even an occasional mission project, but if we don't apply what we learn to our own life, does it do us any good?
UN-fruitfulness should not be an option for us as Christians. As a coach/pastor, I owe it to my "team" to commit myself to continual improvement and growth. Athletes/Christians whom I influence have the same responsibility as well. It is time to make a decision to grow and thrive in Him.
"God, fill them with all hope, joy and peace that they may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit..." Romans 15:13

If you don't have time to visit today, just use that "Jump To Recipe" button above.
My Grandaddy loved stews and soups and this Ground Beef Stew was one of his favorites. He had a special bowl that he liked to eat stew out of and Grandmama always served him in that bowl.
I do much the same thing with my coffee, even though I know it may seem a bit silly. One of my favorite things to do is get up a little earlier than everyone else and creep into the kitchen to make the first cup of coffee the cup I choose to be special that day, then go sit down in the sun room and look out to the trees in the back yard. It is a little ritual that helps to center me, kind of like taking a deep calming breath before the day begins.
I don't get to do that very often though because my Katy (who has informed us that from here on out she is to be called by her first and middle name of "Katy Rose") – excuse me, my Katy Rose is an even earlier riser than her Mama. Some mornings I get my coffee made and get ready to head out into the sun room and a little curly headed pixie pops into the kitchen, so I turn around and head to the recliner instead where she will curl up in my lap and let me stroke her hair while we talk about her dreams.
And that's a pretty good way to start the day, too.
I have one rule in my house about mornings, I don't care how early you get up as long as you wake up happy. I don't think this is very difficult to do, either, so I'm pretty serious about enforcing it. I have made my kids go back into their rooms when they emerge with sour faces and turn around and come back out again with a smile (surprisingly, it works!).
A positive attitude will bring you happiness every time, so why not start your day off with one? Even if you find yourself having to go back in your own bedroom and come out again! ~grins~
And to make your day a little brighter, here is a fuss free, economical, and delicious beef stew to warm you from the inside out. I just love stew weather!
You'll need: Potatoes, Carrots, Onions, Diced tomatoes, Green Beans, Beef Bouillon Cubes,Ground Beef, and 1-2 cans of Spicy Hot V-8 juice.
You can use beef broth in place of the bouillon cubes but I prefer them because they are less expensive and take up less space when storing them (a small container of these cubes makes about as much broth as twenty five cans of beef broth). You can also substitute some other bean of your preference for the green beans or add any number of other vegetables.
Stews are great to tweak and really make them your own. Play! have fun!
I decided to bring this stew to you using ground beef because it is so economical and most of us have it on hand. This stew is incredibly flavorful and easily adapted to what you have in your pantry and freezer.
I have one special ingredient that I do hope you'll try though, and that is Spicy Hot V-8 juice. This is what gives my stew such a full bodied flavor without me having to cook it all day and add a gazillion different spices. Don't worry though, it doesn't make it hot at all – I promise!
Have you ever had the beef stew from Cracker Barrel? To me, this ground beef stew made with spicy V-8 tastes a lot like that. I used to have to buy a big old bottle of this juice whenever I needed some but nowadays it's pretty easy to buy a six pack of little cans, which makes a lot more sense if you are just going to keep it in your pantry to cook with.
Peel and dice your carrots, potatoes, and onion. Place in a large pot.
As a shortcut you can use a 1 pound bag of frozen cubed hash browns for the potatoes. 🙂
Add can of tomatoes and bag of frozen green beans.
Exact quantities are in the printable recipe card at the bottom.
Add four bouillon cubes and two cups of water.
Add in Spicy Hot V-8 juice.
I am using two cans in mine but you can use one and taste it to see if you want to use the second.
I used two and it still wasn't hot, just very flavorful.
Bring this to a boil and then reduce heat and cover and simmer for an hour or so, until vegetables are tender.
Add ground beef to complete your ground beef stew.
My beef is already browned and waiting happily for me in the freezer to save making another mess.
To see how I process large quantities of ground beef with ease, click here.
Stir in a teaspoon of salt.
You won't need any pepper because of the V-8 juice but you should salt it to your personal taste. I like to salt it shortly before serving because that gives me a chance to taste the finished product and see about how much it needs.
Serve with crackers or cornbread.
This stew freezes well so its still great to make if cooking for fewer people. I use those Rubbermaid sandwich size containers since they are shallow and it heats up easier for a nice lunch or supper for one or two. I hope you get to make this heartwarming meal soon!
- 1-2 pounds ground beef, cooked and drained, or see note
- 2-3 Carrots diced
- 1 Onion peeled and chopped
- 5-6 potatoes peeled and diced
- 2-3 cups frozen green beans
- 29 ounce can diced or crushed tomatoes
- 1-2 6 ounce Cans Spicy Hot V-8 juice I use two
- 2 cups water
- 4 Beef Boullion Cubes or 4 cups beef broth
- 1 teaspoon salt more or less to taste
- Place everything in a pot. Bring to a boil and reduce heat to simmering. Cover and cook for an hour or until vegetables are desired tenderness. Even better reheated the next day!
- This can be assembled in the morning and put in your slow cooker all day on low.
- If ground beef is lean, there is no need to cook it ahead of time, just crumble it up or break off bite size chunks and you can add it in raw. Otherwise, precook it and add in.
- Freezes well. I freeze mine in sandwich size containers for easy reheating as single meals.
BE the change you want to see in the World.
