Date Night 2010 started with me meeting the Beast at the Harbord Room's bar.
Foodie: Sorry I'm late! They were completely booked tonight but they told me that we could probably sit at the bar, which I see you've already done.
Beast: I figured it out. The bartender is a bit scary though: before he even asked me for drink he said, "Ah, are you meeting somebody?" I told him that I was. I think he was concerned with the spacing of the bar seats.
Foodie: Is that him? (pointing discreetly to the bartender.)
Beast: Yes it is.
Foodie: That's the same scary man that served me and my friend Elena about a month ago! He was so cold! Every time he left our table we'd wondered if we'd said something to make him hate us so much. We behaved normally–maybe were too nice though, in an attempt to warm him up a bit.
Just then the bartender came over to offer me a drink. The Beast started with a gin martini. I had a plain old glass of riesling. He was less cold than I remembered. I'd say he was "efficient".
Foodie: What looks good? Oh, oysters! Let's have some of those. What else. I had the B.C. ling cod last time and it was incredible.
Beast: I'm having the steak frites.
Foodie: Do you want to share steak frites and the fish?
Beast: No, not at all.
Foodie: Okay then I'm getting the steak frites too because I'll see yours and regret not getting it. Let's get a little salad on the side too.
Beast: Perfect.
Our oysters were delivered right away.
I'm afraid I can't remember what sort of accoutrements were in the little ramekin: we didn't sample them because the Beast prefers his oysters as nature intended them–unadorned. I like them with a squeeze of lemon, and sometimes a little freshly grated horseradish.
(Photo graciously provided by Meghan Telpner! Visit her gorgeous website here.)
Mom, this is what a horseradish root looks like! Maybe you knew that already, but the first time I ever saw a horseradish root I couldn't get over the fact that it resembled a big giant tool of some sort. Maybe like a hammer, or a wrench. I don't know for certain what tool, but isn't the similarity to some sort of tool uncanny?
Anyway, the oysters were lovely.
Beast: I am so excited to see Steve Reich that I can barely stand it. Look, my hands are even trembling.
Foodie: Oh yes, I'm excited too.
Beast: Do you know how important Steve Reich is?
Foodie: Who's Steve Reich again?
Beast: He's only one of the most influential composers of the 20th century, along with Stockhousen and Philip Glass.
Foodie: Do I like him?
Beast: Yes, you like him. He's had a huge impact on film scoring from the 1970s onward–especially the film scoring that you like.
Foodie: Well then I can hardly wait either! Oh look, here comes our steak.
Foodie: These are good fries.
Beast: Yes they are. How's your steak cooked?
Foodie: It's pretty rare. I'll let you have the middle, gelatinous part. Isn't the melted Ermite blue cheese on top lovely?
Beast: It's okay.
Foodie: Just okay? I think it's so tasty!
Even tastier though was the little side salad! Shocking? Yes! I couldn't get over it either. It was simply some arugola with thinly sliced radish, fennel and carrot in a tarragon vinaigrette but it was so crisp, clean and refreshing! (I've recreated twice now at home.)
While we finished our dinner, the Beast and I behaved like to two old gossipy women having a yarn together.
Foodie (in a whisper): You see those three ladies sitting to my right?
Beast: Yes.
Foodie: They've already asked scary bartender for two pints of ice to put in their glasses of white wine! You should have seen scary bartender's face!
Beast: Did you hear what they said about meditation?
Foodie: No.
Beast: Well, one of them asked, "Have you guys ever meditated before?" And they responded yes. And then the woman said, "No, I mean really meditated."
Foodie: Did you notice the couple to the left of you?
Beast: You mean the lady who's 16 going on 65?
Foodie: Never mind her, look at her husband! He's dressed like an Italian teenager with those ripped jeans, pointy leather shoes and his button-down shirt that's buttoned way the fuck down!
Beast: We should really get the bill. I don't want to be late.
The Beast waited outside while I waited about fifteen minutes, with my credit card in plain view, for the bill.
Beast (outside and ready to start walking to our concert venue): What took so long?
Foodie: I don't know. I just couldn't get his attention and I didn't want to interrupt him while he talked to the cast of Jersey Shore at the counter. God that was cold service.
Beast: I don't actually mind cold service. It's better than "You have GOT to try the cheese plate! There's this one from Prince Edward County that's TO DIE FOR. It's made with goat's milk. Or maybe it's not goat. What's another animal that makes cheese?" Anyway, have y'all heard of organic beef before?" I just can't stand cold, ineffectual service.
Foodie: But I didn't actually ask for the bill. Maybe we should give him a break–think of the type of people he's constantly dealing with. Maybe that's why he's so cold. Maybe we'd be that cold too.
Beast: Think about the type of people everybody deals with every day! Look at the two of us in our jobs! That's no excuse.
Foodie: What a second–what were you reading when I first came into the restaurant?
Beast: A book on James Joyce, and one on Chinese poetry.
Foodie: Well that explains it! Think about it: You sit down with your gay little books and we start talking about Steve Reich. We're bigger assholes than the meditating ladies and the retired couple dressed like Euro-trash!
Beast: No way! Steve Reich is the most–
Foodie: Oh God, we only have five minutes to get there! Let's hurry!
The place was packed! (Maybe the Beast was onto something with this "Steve Reich" guy.) By the by, I could have sworn I saw Atom Egoyan and Adrianne Clarkson in the lobby–not together or anything though.
Our seats afforded us a grand view of the instruments on stage.
The Beast loved the concert. I just "liked" it. I really enjoyed our dinner though, while the Beast felt it was a little mediocre. You can't win them all.
Oh, and I figured out during the concert (my mind wandered a bit) that a horseradish root looks like a giant cock with balls! Nature is amazing!
Foodie: **1/2
Beast: *1/2

On April 23rd 2018, WE DEMANDed A RAPID AND JUST TRANSITION TO 100% RENEWABLE ENERGY NOW!
We will not stop. this was the largest climate march and action in albany's history. We continue to work in coalition with the participating groups.
On the morning of April 23rd, over 1,500 people gathered in Albany to to take our three demands directly to Governor Cuomo.
Halt all fracking infrastructure
Institute a rapid and just transition to renewables
Make corporate polluters pay for the damage they've done
At the beginning of the day, we listened to residents of Sheridan Avenue tell us of Governor Cuomo's plan to turn the neighboring steam plant, which sits adjacent to their homes, into a fracked gas power plant to supply the Empire State Plaza, the seat of New York State's government, with heat and power.
After the spirited rally, we walked to the Capitol with hand made art, singing songs that lifted our sprits as we marched into the Capitol building
Thank you for making this historic day possible.
Individuals from all over the state to gather for the largest demonstration for climate justice in Albany and made it possible for us to strengthen and unify the statewide movement for a just and rapid transition to renewable energy. It also enable over 1,500 New Yorkers to stand with the people living on Sheridan Avenue who will suffer most from the construction of toxic fracked gas projects and helped us strengthen our democracy by empowering people from all over the state find their voices. One participant wrote:
"I feel not alone, I feel like I have power more power than I realize, I feel like I can make a difference, I feel like I went in to MY capitol building and made my voice heard. It inspires me to run for office one day. It bolstered me as an activist."
The impact of the April 23 action has already gone far beyond the display of people power on April 23. Not only have the three demands we rallied behind become an election issue in New York State, but groups in other parts of the U.S. are using these three demands to bring a sharper focus to their push for climate justice and energy democracy.
Thanks so much for making this work possible. We look forward to continue building an unstoppable movement with you.

What our client's are saying about us.....
"Thank you so much for your job done on our wedding night!!! Our guests had the absolute best time ever with live photo booth. Everyone was very impressed with the quality of the photos and are continuing to talk about how "cool" it was for us to have something like that! Thank you for getting the photos back to me so quickly, our guest will be very excited to receive the photo link Thank you and I hope to be sending some business your way soon!!!"
"From start to finish, there was a line of guests at the booth. My wedding was months ago, and my husband and I still get people telling us what a great idea the photo booth was. It was a big hit!"
This totally made the wedding. Guests had so much fun and it was nice to get families in professional group shots. This is such a fun way to add a different element to your event. When you have such a large group this is a way to "see" all of your guests and the great time they had after the event.
The live photobooth was awesome and our guests had a blast taking photos. You guys are the best!
Thank you for taking such wonderful pictures of us and our guests. The photo booth was the last big decision – and I'm so glad that I did it! It is so fun to have pics of our guests enjoying the evening. Thanks for your great work.
Your photo booth was definetly the hit of the party and I will recommend it to anyone I know that is having an event – I just loved it!
The Live Photo Booth sure helped warm up the party on our cold night at the DBG. It exceeded all expectations. Thank you for your contribution to the evening's success.
Everyone LOVED the photo booth! It was definitely one of the biggest hits of the night!
Hiring The Live Photobooth for our wedding was one of the absolute best decisions we made for our wedding. The excitement and entertainment it provided during our reception was unforgettable and the photos turned out stunning. Our guests are so proud of their photos and have them displayed on their Facebook pages and framed in their homes.
Thanks Melissa, you guys were a hit!
The photos were AMAZING! Everyone loved your work!
Thanks again! You were a hit!
Oh my gosh!! SO much fun and SO cute!! You guys were wonderful! Thanks again for everything and for making the wedding so memorable. The photo booth is still what everyone is talking and laughing about!
Just went through these with Sara. Inspired work, thank you so much for all that you did for us. The pictures are amazing and you guys were great wrangling the more motley elements of the group and as as a result everything was perfect. Thank you both again.
Melissa and Keith, Thank you, thank you, thank you. You helped make the party "the celebration"! Fun was had by all, thanks to you both. We can't thank you enough for helping us to create the type of celebration we were looking for. Thank you again for everything! You both are very professional. We appreciated that also.

text: "Take a deep breath." "Count to 10." These tips are overused, perhaps, but they can help remind us to redirect anger and annoyance and take a moment to consider the other person's position and feelings. Doing so allows us to avoid uncomfortable emotions and replace them with more positive thoughts and interactions.


text:
- Hire one contractor to design your site, then send the development work to an offshore company. Guaranteed to produce a Frankenstein monster every time.
- Make your IT/development team build the entire site, with little or no input from the sales, marketing or fulfillment teams. You'll spend at least twice the initial development cost on post-launch changes, I promise.
- Run your own pay per click campaign after reading one e-book by someone who says they Beat Google. The money won't burn, in this case, so much as it will vanish with a 'pop'.
- Tolerate mediocrity because it's cheap. If you pay one person $50/hour, and it takes them 10 hours to do something, when someone else was going to charge you $250 to do it in one hour, did you really save any money? That should be a rhetorical question.
- Host your company website internally. Wow, nice job – you're saving $30/month! Now go hire someone for $40,000 a year to keep the server running. Yeah! You showed them!
- Build it from scratch. Build your whole web site and online store from scratch, custom. It'll cost 10x what it would have had you used one of a dozen great systems out there that will all do the same thing.
- Put all your eggs in one basket. If SEO is working, why spend any money on social media, or PR, or paid search? You can just wait until your rankings collapse, then start from zero in Google Adwords. This will devour your profits AND, as a bonus, Google will charge you inflated bid amounts because you have no account history. Neat!
- Ignore the analytics. See my previous post on the subject. All analytics do is let you review what's earning money and what's not. If you're looking to shred as many dollars as possible, don't bother looking at that pesky ROI report.
- Embrace (stupid) change. Sure, you're getting a nice 3:1 return on your campaign. That's no reason to stick with it. Trash that sucker! Start a whole new campaign. Don't test anything – just start over. Weeeeeeeeee….
- Do it yourself. You're the CEO of a company that designs windshield wipers. That's OK – you can still learn WordPress and build your site. Those are 120 hours well spent, I'm sure. Cough
Experiencing #1 right now. Touchy situation since the client was a referral (and a much-appreciated one at that). However, the original designer outsourced the development – and what a cesspool of code they got back. Updates that should take ten minutes are taking two hours. This mess is costing the client 10x more than it would've cost to do it right the first time – and the site has only been through 3-4 rounds of small edits / content additions.
All the other points are spot-on as well.
Wow. The company I work for has done 5 of those.
@Christine You know, I know a good consultant…
I agree with Christine, It's like you visited my old company and made a checklist.
The CEO also liked the idea of advertising on billboards, mailing catalogs, and using banner ads, which could be added to the list.
Other ways to burn money.
Buying search terms with little or no relevance to the product or service you're selling.
Buying ad space on sites with little or no relevance to the product or service you're selling.
Spending more money to advertise a product your customers complain about instead of fixing or improving the product.
Mmm yup. The last company I worked at did almost every single of those.
Note the reference to the fact I no longer work there. 🙂

Minnesota Department Of Health
The prostate will be discovered on the base of the bladder and it is the size of a walnut. There are so many healthy meals good for being pregnant, you can choose from so you get pleasure from meals and keep good health. There is some reputable trigger for concern concerning increased premiums as a result of including poorer individuals to the insurance pool.
After France on the World Health Group's list of rankings come 35 different countries earlier than the United States is available in at thirty seventh, just behind Costa Rica. This health care facility provided primary providers to many who couldn't afford (or chose to not pay for) access to non-public care. The problem here is that many go undiagnosed because many GP's usually are not all that adept or keen to diagnose Psychological Health points comparable to Despair, Bi-Polar or even conditions similar to ADHD and Autism. You can again up knowledge stored in the Health app to iCloud, where it is encrypted whereas in transit and at rest. This entire wheat banana muffin recipe uses complete wheat and other nutritious substances like free range egg, grass fed butter and brown sugar for a guilt-free breakfast or snack! I still believed within the old trend methods of staying healthy (thoughts, body and soul).
The private health business blames this on a range of things, together with the a lot higher price of medical gadgets like pacemakers and hip replacements in comparison with different countries and the general public health system. There is no such thing as a fear that sickness will mean lack of a job and simultaneous lack of health care. When you've got health insurance coverage, we are going to make sure that no insurance coverage company or authorities bureaucrat will get between you and the care you need. There are umpteen scientific references of the health advantages of the seeds of Nigella sativa which you need to have seen given right here. Thanks for share the health advantage of pineapple and the vitamin facts as nicely.
The mission of the Division of Illness Control and Prevention is to rapidly detect and examine communicable ailments and environmental health hazards, provide prevention-centered schooling, and institute control measures to reduce and stop the impact of illness.
In time, you may be an skilled as you regain your good health which you are entitled to, within the first place. I am assuming you are on some form of authorized visa, and in fact you may be required to get insurance. Just take the health care options which might be put on the table by the Trump Crew at present.

Further to my post about venue styling and props, today I am paying homage to an amazing wedding services company called Mad Philomena. I must admit I have been hell bent on searching for light up props since getting engaged because I had seen some pictures on Pinterest (where else?) And just thought they were fantastic.
I came across this amazing website which is like an Aladdin's cave of wedding solutions and they have just started doing these incredible 1.5m high initials and are among the most reasonably priced I have come across (£170 for the 2 letters and the '&').
LOVE picture - THREESIXSEVENNINE PHOTOGRAPHY
They are based in Grantham but are super flexible and happy to try to help no matter the location.
Make sure you check out their website or Facebook page for examples of their work, incredible for inspiration alone even if you are too far away to hire anything

Hi again everyone!
This weekend marked my first big competition of the year, Bouldering nationals...and it was awesome!
This year Bouldering nationals took place in Salt Lake City. I have always liked Salt Lake City and have had great memories of other competitions here, so I was excited to be back.
A record number of competitors competed this year, around 60 women and 125 men. While this meant long isolation times for men, it was great to have such an amazing turnout.
Qualifier started on Friday with 5 boulder problems. I flashed problems 1, 2, and 5. I fell on the last move of problem 3 and about halfway up on problem 4. This put me in a solid 9th place going into semi-finals. During qualifiers I also had the in-person support of The Law Office of Devin W. Quackenbush. Devin was kind enough to cheer me on during the qualification round. Having supportive sponsors is incredible and it's always fun when they get to see a competition in person.
Semi-finals had 4 boulder problems. I flashed problem 1 and sent problem 2 and problem 4 on my 3rd and 2nd attempts respectively. I climbed well, but this definitely put me in a risky position going into finals. I knew I would either be barely in or out of finals. Unfortunately I was barely out of finals this time. I placed 10th with the top 9 advancing. Usually the top 6 advance to finals, but 9 were taken this year because of defending world champions.
It was definitely disappointing to miss finals by such a narrow window, but I can tell my climbing has dramatically improved, which is always encouraging! I also had a great time watching my friends compete and crush in finals.
Overall the competition was a great experience. The city, the route setting, the venue, etc., it was all great! I feel refreshed and ready to go for this upcoming World Cup season.
So now it's back to life in Arizona and some more training of course!
On to the next adventure,

One More Reason to Love Dominions 4
I love Dominions 4. It's the sprawl of the thing. The thousand thousand units, spells, magic items, deities. The expansive mythology. The steady build from small armies supported by a little bit of magic to massive armies that exist only to protect wizards who cast world-ending doomspells. The fact that I'm running a 13-player, 15-AI game that will likely last over a year and generate stories I'll remember for the rest of my life — and yes, I'll also report the whole thing here once the game is done and nobody can use the writeups to suss out my team's strategies.
Today though, I found one more thing to love about Dom4. You can find it after the jump — though be warned, what follows contains about 85 pixels (no, I didn't count) of Not Safe For Work thanks to some mythological nudity.
Dominions 4: Thrones of Ascension
Dominions 4. If you've played Dominions 3: The Awakening, the mere mention of another entry to this utterly unique series should send shivers down your spine. If you haven't, then… well, this article might not be for you. In that case, I recommend getting up to speed with my game diary RPS Ascension, or maybe taking a look at some articles I wrote about one of Illwinter Game Design's other titles, the similar-yet-distinct Conquest of Elysium 3.
Returning to those of you who know exactly how remarkable this series is, today we're going to walk through my first match, and take a look at a few of the ways Dominions 4: Thrones of Ascension is refining its own formula.
Conquest of Elysium 3 is…
I've been playing and talking a lot about Conquest of Elysium 3 from Illwinter Game Design, the two-man band responsible for Dominions 3. My review? It's great: simple to learn, plenty of depth, and lots of options for customization so you can play the game you're in the mood for.
However, it hasn't been widely reviewed, and lots of folks seem confused about what it is—one review so completely that I couldn't help but poke some fun at it. I understand this response—its visual style requires some acclimatizing, and it looks like it could be one of those impenetrable stats-based games that you once bought as a kid because you heard you could do anything but then it turned out you couldn't even figure out how to build a cavalry regiment.
Have no fear! CoE3 is not one of those games. But rather than define what it isn't, I've made a handy list of four things that sum up what Conquest of Elysium 3 is all about. If that doesn't interest you, you can make like an IGN reader and skip to the end for the final score.
Can't Get Enough Human Sacrifices
I've recently been playing a lot of Conquest of Elysium 3, the new game from Illwinter Game Design, who you might recognize as the creators of Dominions 3. My review is here, and last time I played as a halfling Burgmeister. Today I'm playing as the Demonologist, a mage willing to conspire with devils in order to gain atrocious power.
It isn't easy being a Demonologist, even if you have learned the dark arts of sacrificing your fellow man to appease the dark gods. No matter how powerful you become, there will always be a demon lord unwilling to join forces once you've summoned him into Elysium. And when that happens, not only does the ungrateful spawn refuse to join you, but you've got to fight it, further weakening your hellish army.
Oh well. Next time you'll have to sate the demon's lusts with a few extra human sacrifices.
Can't Get Enough Hoburg Weed
I've recently been playing a lot of Conquest of Elysium 3, the new game from Illwinter Game Design, who you might recognize as the creators of Dominions 3. Today I'm playing as the Burgmeister, a leader among halfmen.
It isn't easy being a halfman, even if you have managed to join up with the Hoburgs. You have to put up with the worst sort of ridicule, and those short legs aren't taking you anywhere fast. At best you have 4 hitpoints—and chances are you've got fewer. Even most human archers have 7, and beefcakes can work up to more than double that.
Yessir, life as a Hoburg sure would stink if it weren't for fine Hoburg Weed.
How to Pose as an Indie Reviewer
It's hard to jumpstart a career as a AAA reviewer these days. The market is competitive, and the whole reason you play eighteen hours of games a day means that "competitive" sounds about as appealing as licking a plantar wart.
Have no fear! By following these 20 easy steps, you too can soon be reviewing indie games with the best of them. As we go along, we'll take a look at an actual review of an indie game as an example of how to pose as an indie reviewer (Conquest of Elysium 3 review, found here).

How to launch iOS Simulator? How to install an application on Xcode simulator of iOS Simulator?
How to launch simulator on Mac machine?
Before going to see how to install an application on a simulator, let's see how to launch simulator using Xcode. Launch the Xcode on your machine, and click on Xcode menu option from the header. Now click on 'Open Developer Tool' from the list of options displayed and choose 'iOS Simulator'. Now a device appears on your screen of default type that is set with a different header that relates to it. You can also change its type i.e., different versions of iPhone or different kinds of iOS devices, by clicking on the Hardware menu and choose Device option. By clicking on Device option, choose your desired type and launch it. You can also rotate it left or right, you can lock the screen, navigate to home screen and can also zoom-in and zoom out the view along with changing the dimensions of the device. You can even take a screenshot of the current screen. Most of the features that can be observed in a device can be seen on the simulator. This is how you can launch and use simulator on Mac machine.
How to install an application on iOS simulator?
Now, let's see how to install application on iOS simulator. In order to install an application, you need to copy the .app file of the application to the Applications folder of iOS SDK. To navigate to the Applications folder, first of all launch Finder on your machine, and click on 'File' menu. From the File menu, click on 'New Finder Window' and choose your respective user domain folder. From the respective user drive, click on Library folder which looks like a hidden folder and choose Application Support. From the Application Support window, choose iPhone Simulator followed by its version that is available on your machine and then choose Applications folder.
In short, for example navigate to the path as following "Library->Application Support->iPhone Simulator->7.0->Applications->" and paste your application folder here. If you have the .app file of the application that is to be installed, place it in a folder and copy it to the Applications folder, or else get the .ipa file of the application and right click on it. Now, choose the Open with option and select Archive Utility, so that a folder gets created with .app file. Finally, copy the application's folder in the Applications folder and re-launch the iOS simulator to view the application installed on it. This is how you can install an application on iOS simulator.

Missing teeth can impair your speech, limit your diet, and destroy your confidence. The good news is you don't have to continue living without your smile. Modern dentistry has brought replacement teeth a long way from the bridges, partials, and dentures of the past. As a family and cosmetic dentist, Dr. Swathi uses modern dental prosthetics, like crown and bridgework or full and partial dentures that look natural and lasts for years.
Replacing Teeth with a Bridge
A dental bridge involves one or more prosthetic teeth in a row anchored to two crowned abutment teeth. Dr. Swathi can place and restore implants as well; so many Valley Fair patients prefer implant-supported bridgework. With implant supports, a bridge is anchored to an implant, not to crowned abutment teeth.
Replacing Teeth with Full or Partial Dentures
To replace many missing teeth, Dr. Swathi may suggest a full or partial denture. Also called dentures and partials, these prosthetic appliances consist of replacement teeth affixed to a gum-colored base. Patients use adhesive or clasps to hold the prosthetic in place. Like bridgework, dentures can be anchored to dental implants to alleviate the need for clasps and adhesives.
Implant-Retained Dentures
If you've worn dentures for a while, you know the slipping that can occur. When teeth are lost, the jawbone begins to atrophy shrinking gums and causing an ill fit over time. Implant-retained dentures are anchored to several dental implants to create a solid foundation. Because implants act as tooth roots, jawbone loss is halted, and the implants create a secure fit without embarrassing clicking and slipping.
Find Out More About Replacement Tooth Options
If your smile is missing that something special, like teeth, call to schedule a consultation with Dr. Swathi today. Valley Fair Family and Cosmetic Dentistry serves patients in San Jose, Santa Clara, Cupertino, Sunnyvale, Saratoga, and surrounding areas with comprehensive and functionally esthetic dentistry.

Another NFL season is almost in the books, but until we can put a nice bow tie on a spectacular season that was, we have one final chapter to play out: Week 17. In short, week 17 in the NFL is crazier than a freshman at their first college party. There are three main categories for teams playing this weekend. The first category is for the teams who just want this season to end, are playing for pride, as a spoiler, or positioning itself for next year's draft or all four. The second category sees teams that are already in the playoffs trying to either move up the playoff standings or secure a top seed. Lastly, the third category is for the teams that are desperately trying to squeeze into the post-season and either just need to win, or need to win and have some outside help as well.
It is a love/hate relationship for fans everywhere during this time. However, for the majority of fans it will be a hate relationship come Sunday. This is where that entire first category of teams comes into play. Sorry people, your teams suck. That was a bit harsh let me try that again. Sorry people, you are a Lions fans.
To begin, how many people thought coming into this season that the Houston Texans, the early Super Bowl favourites, would wind up with the worst record entering week 17 and would be on the verge of securing the first pick in the 2014 NFL draft? Who expected the Atlanta Falcons to fall apart the way they did this season? A team that was a game away from the Super Bowl just a year ago and were so close to giving TE Tony Gonzales, the greatest TE of all time, the story book ending he deserved. The dreadfulness of the Lions era continues. I do not know of too many teams who annually stink up the place as often as the Detroit Lions. I am very surprised that the fans did not throw stuff onto the field after the Lions completed its epic collapse with a loss to the Giants in week 16 at home. This was the one year that the Lions were in control of its own destiny and were supposed to cruise to a division title but somehow blew it. Again. The Redskins will try to forget this awful season that was horrific in every sense of the word. RG3 and Mike Shanahan obviously were not on the same page all season long and all arrows are pointing to Shanahan's termination. Redskins fans just hope RG3 can get back to his prime form and lead the 'Skins back to a division title next season. The Redskins, Falcons, Texans, Lions, and even the Giants had high expectations coming into the season and just want this season to end.
The Jets are playing for pride and as a spoiler this weekend. Rex Ryan has already made it public that he believes he will be fired at season's end, so maybe for Jets fans this will spark a strong finish to a turnover driven season. The Jets travel to Miami this Sunday as the Dolphins are still in playoff contention. What a feeling it would be for the Jets if they can somewhat salvage its disappointing season by knocking off a division rival and prevent them from making the playoffs. The Jets mentality right now has to be: if we can not make the playoffs, neither can you. The Titans, Raiders, Rams, Vikings, and Buccaneers are playing for the draft and are hoping for better days ahead. Especially, the Oakland Raiders.
Remember him?
I am putting the Jags, Browns and Bills in its own category because for the longest time these have been some of the worst teams in the league, year in and year out. If you are a fan of one of these teams, I envy you. It must be tough having to admit that you spend your Sunday afternoon watching the Jacksonville Jaguars play football. All jokes aside though. These three teams have actually shown some nice progression this season. For so long these teams have been so bad, however all of a sudden the future looks a little brighter for all three of these franchises. The Jaguars had a slow start to the season in typical Jaguars fashion; however, they have looked like a much better team of late. They are 4-3 in its last seven games. Not a terrific record, but hey anything over 500 during a medium sample size of games for the Jags is an improvement. Henne has been moving the ball consistently and Jones-Drew is back from injury running well. I expect them to play the Colts tough this weekend and I think they can actually win outright in Indianapolis. (You heard it here). Of course, they are going to need to find a lot more talent via draft or free agency but ending the season on a positive note for Jacksonville could lead to a much better 2014 campaign.
The Bills have endured another losing season and have not made the playoffs since 1999, but (Bills fans are crossing their fingers) the Bills seem to have its QB of the future in EJ Manuel. Yes, E.J was injured throughout the season, but when he did play, he looked like a solid fit. The Bills have already proven to be one of the best home teams in the league, so if they can make some fixes on the road, come out of the gates stronger next season and of course stay healthy, the Buffalo Bills could be playoff bound soon. They have the talent and run game do so.
For the Browns, they were actually in playoff contention for the first part of the season and were looking sharp with Hoyer at the helm. However, once Hoyer tore his ACL, the Browns season toppled. The Browns should get a nice draft pick and could beat the Steelers this weekend on the road as a spoiler (Another one of my bold predictions). Also, remember that Trent Richardson trade? Yeah, it looks like the Browns will reap the benefits from that deal nicely. Finally, they have a solid building piece in Josh Gordon. Do not know who he is? Go watch the highlights.
If you are a fan of the second category of teams I have mentioned, life is pretty good right now. Congratulations, you do not need to worry (for now) or jump any bandwagons because your team has qualified for the playoffs. Chances are your team is a real contender and will be resting this week or needing a win to secure a top playoff seed. For instance, if you are a Broncos fan, it is a major love relationship. I bet you will be inviting your friends over, will order large quantities of fattening foods and have the champagne ready in anticipation for Peyton Manning and the Broncos possibly breaking some more records this Sunday. Manning needs only 266 passing yards to break Drew Brees' single season record for passing yards in a season (5,476). Manning and the Broncos can also break the NFL's single season scoring record of 589 points, which was set by the New England Patriots in 2007. Denver is currently 18 points away from breaking that mark. Of course, the Broncos still need to win or need a Patriots loss to secure home-field advantage throughout the playoffs, but in case you have forgotten, they play the Raiders this week. Enough said.
Easy Peyton, you still have to win a playoff game as a Bronco.
Finally, this is where that third category of teams fits into the mix for fans. This category represents the / in the love/hate relationship. This is the absolute middle. Fans will either cry their way to sleep or will stay up all night trying to convince the entire world on social media that their team is this year's Cinderella story.
AFC teams in the hunt:
Dolphins, Ravens, Steelers, Chargers
Jets vs. Dolphins-The Dolphins missed a huge opportunity when they laid an egg against the Bills in week 16. It is simple for the Dolphins. MIA win + BAL loss OR MIA win + SD win = playoffs for the fish. I expect the Jets to play well here and Miami does have a tendency of dropping big games, especially when conceived as the favourite. Playoffs or no playoffs just remember Tannehill, you still get to go home to Lauren. Too bad your fans do not.
Ravens vs. Bengals-Similar to the Dolphins, the Ravens missed a gigantic opportunity and failed to clinch a playoff birth because they were dismantled by what seemed to be a rejuvenated Patriots offence. However, the defending Super Bowl champions are still alive but need some outside help. BAL win + SD loss OR BAL win + MIA loss OR PIT loss + SD loss + MIA loss = playoff football. Clearly, the easiest way for the Ravens to advance to the post-season is to beat the Bengals this Sunday and hope for a SD or MIA loss. Cincinnati is undefeated at home with a 7-0 record and will still be playing for something come kickoff time. A Cincy win + Patriots loss would give the Bengals a first-round bye. The Ravens usually play well in big game situations but still have a tall task ahead of them. Hold your breath Ravens fans; you will be watching the game and keeping an eye on the scoreboard all day long.
Browns vs. Steelers- If you are like me you must be wondering how on earth do the Steelers still have a chance at the playoffs. Really? However, with a huge win at Lambeau in week 16 the Steelers are still very much alive. It is going to take A LOT of outside help, but Pittsburg can clinch a playoff spot with: PIT win + BAL loss + MIA loss + SD loss. To keep it short, it will take a miracle for the Steelers to graze post-season play. Do not feel too bad for the Steelers in this situation, they have six Super Bowl rings, including two this decade. Steelers fans always have the last laugh.
Steelers fans this Sunday be like…
Chiefs vs. Chargers-The Charges are one of the hottest teams in football right now. They have won three games in a row, which includes a win at Denver and have kept its slim playoff hopes alive. They host a Chiefs team this week that really has nothing to play for. Kansas City is locked into the fifth seed in the AFC and will most likely rest its players for Wild Card weekend, so the Chargers should make it four in a row here. A SD win + BAL loss + MIA loss is all it will take for the Bolts to enter post-season play. Easier said than done.
NFC teams in the hunt:
Eagles, Cowboys, Bears, Packers, Saints, Cardinals
Buccaneers vs. Saints-The Saints endured a tough loss last week at Carolina and now need to win or need an Arizona loss just to make the playoffs. The Saints can still win the NFC South and could secure a first-round bye but do not control its own destiny. They need to win at home and need the Panthers to lose against the Falcons. The Saints are perfect at home this year and should get into the playoffs one way or another. However, if they enter the playoffs as a road team the Saints could see an early playoff exit.
49ers vs. Cardinals-One of the biggest surprises this season has to be the Arizona Cardinals. The Cards could finish the season 11-5 and STILL miss the playoffs. That is how good the NFC West and Wild Card has been this year in the NFC. Arizona clinches a playoff birth with a win + NO loss. As mentioned before the Saints are undefeated at home and host the dismal Buccaneers, so it will be tough for Arizona fans to see playoff football. But hey, it is week 17 and crazy things are known to happen. If the Cardinals do receive the short end of the stick all is not lost because they sure do have a very bright future ahead.
Packers vs. Bears-Calling Mr. Rogers. It has been confirmed that the former MVP Aaron Rogers will start on Sunday after missing his last seven games due to a collarbone injury. For the Packers it could not have come at a better time. Sorry, Matt Flynn. Ironically, Rogers fractured his collarbone in the last meeting between these two teams in Green Bay back in week 9. The winner of this game will win the NFC North and will enter the playoffs. This bad blood rivalry between these two historic franchises will see another chapter unfold this Sunday. If the Packers can pull off the huge road victory in Rogers' return to the field, the Packers enter the playoffs as a dangerous sleeper team. It will be interesting to see if Rogers is fully healthy because you know the Bears are going to try to hit him hard on every chance they can get. This game will also be a defying moment in Cutler's career and could very well be his last game as a Bear. Cutler will be a free agent in 2014 and if he fails to beat out the Packers at home on Sunday, the Bears could go a different route at QB. They have given Cutler many opportunities to prove himself as "the guy" but another disappointing outcome could spell the end for Jay Cutler in Chicago. This game will be an awesome spectacle no matter how you draw it up. Both of these teams are not too fond of one another and the fans despise each other as well. Consider the fuel added to the already heated fire.
Jay Cutler is 1-8 all-time against the cheeseheads.
Eagles vs. Cowboys-This game is what football is all about. WIN AND YOU ARE IN. The biggest Sunday nighter of the year and it is only fitting that it involves the Cowboys, who will play in its third straight week 17, do or die game Sunday night. (lost previous two). The winner of this game will head to the post-season as the NFC East champions. The Eagles have been one of the most explosive offenses all season long under Chip Kelly's new offense and the Cowboys have been America's most scrutinized team. To add even more pandemonium to this game, the Cowboys earlier this week have shut down Tony Romo for the rest of the season due to a back injury. Yup, you know what that means- it is Kyle Orton time in Dallas and John Kitna will be the slated backup. This could get ugly, Cowboys fans. If Orton does find a way to win the game Tony Romo will receive even more criticism than ever before and he will not even be playing. The guy just can not win.
At least Romo does not have to worry about this.
No matter what category your team is in come Sunday, week 17 as always should deliver to the fans and the football world. The last category I forgot to mention features the teams you gamble on. If you find yourself in this category heading into week 17, you automatically lose.

In the past, to buy anything you had to take a trip down to a store, browse through their collections, bargain for the best price and then go home with your buys. Today, everything is so different. Everyone is searching for ways to make things a lot easier and globalization has shrunken the world even more than ever. You don't have to leave the comfort of your home to do bank transactions, pay your bills, interact with old friends, attend seminars or even do your grocery shopping. You can simply do all that with your mobile phone or your computer.
Online shopping is the future! Because we are spending so much time on social media, chatting with friends and generally checking up on what's the latest gist, smart business people have also learnt to put their goods right before you, splashing them all over the internet. In fact, the most successful online shop owners confess that it is much easier and less expensive to manage an online shop than a physical shop located within the four walls of a building. They are able to eliminate the payment of rent, staff salaries and some overhead expenditures. I'm sure you will agree that online shopping will no doubt take over the world before 2023.
If you're an owner of a physical shop then there is absolutely no need for you to panic. You just have to take advantage of the opportunity to upgrade your business too. If you're interested in finding out how then join me on my whatsapp webinar on Saturday by 7pm. I will be sharing tips for growing your business online. Just click this link to join.
In the meantime, let me go and do my own online shopping. If you're like me then I'm sure you can't help but ogle this gorgeous red dress I bought here. **winks**

Ohio State No.1 running back Carlos Hyde learned today he will not be charged by Columbus police for what appeared to be a slapping altercation - caught on surveillance video -- with a female in a downtown night spot 10 days ago, but coach Urban Meyer still lowered the boom on the senior.
Ohio State No.1 running back Carlos Hyde learned today he will not be charged by Columbus police for what appeared to be a slapping altercation -- caught on surveillance video -- with a female in a Downtown night spot 10 days ago, but coach Urban Meyer still lowered the boom on the senior.
Meyer announced tonight that Hyde, already on suspension as the investigation played out, will miss at least the first three games of the coming season as penalty for breaking one of Meyer's primary codes of conduct, which is to show respect to females. Though the video, released by the police to the news media this afternoon, showed the woman making the first slap attempt, Hyde appeared to retaliate before moving quickly away (it can be found on the dispatch.com website).
�Carlos Hyde will be suspended for at least the first three games of the 2013 season for conduct not representative of this football program or this university,� Meyer said in a statement released by the school. �He will be required to fulfill additional obligations before he is allowed to play in a game.� That means Hyde could face additional loss of game participation, though Meyer did not stipulate what the additional obligations would be.
Hyde was placed on suspension from the team eight days ago after being named a person of interest in the investigation. But after the woman who brought the initial complaint told Columbus police on Saturday that she did not want to pursue charges, the police announced there would be no charge against Hyde.
Meanwhile, OSU junior cornerback Bradley Roby's status remains in question in the wake of him being arrested and charged with misdemeanor battery for an incident that occurred in a bar in Bloomington, Ind., in the early hours of July 22. He spent the night in jail before being released after posting a $500 bond.
According to the police report, he was escorted out of the bar after some kind of altercation, tried to return to contact friends who were still inside, was stopped by bar security personnel, allegedly punched one of the bouncers in the chest �causing a complaint of pain,� according to the report, and promptly was subdued while police were called.
According to court records from Monroe (Ind.) County, Roby has a pre-trial conference seheduled for Aug. 26, just five days before the Buckeyes' season opener against Buffalo.
Whether video will aid his cause remains to be seen. According to the court records, his Bloomington attorney, Phyllis J. Emerick, has asked that �audio and/or video recording� from the bar be produced as possible evidence.
Insiders on the OSU football team who saw Roby after he returned to Columbus told The Dispatch he looked like he had been roughed up. There was no speculation in regards to who did the roughing.
Meyer suspended Roby from making the trip last week to the Big Ten Kickoff Luncheon, a major preseason media opportunity, but has not said whether Roby will miss any game action.

According to About.com, denier is not a type of nylon but a measure of the fineness of the fiber. One denier is equal to 1 gram per 9,000 meters of yarn. Manufacturers use the term "denier" with both natural and man-made fibers.
A number normally precedes the word "denier." For example, 2,500-denier ballistic nylon is the type that manufacturers use in making high-end luggage that is smooth and lint-resistant. Lower-quality luggage manufacturers often choose less expensive 600- to 1,800-denier polyester, which costs less but does not provide the durability of the more expensive product.
As first synthetic fabric as developed by DuPont, nylon remains one of the company's most successful products. While the DuPont is responsible for the name, it is not a registered trademark. This decision is responsible for the word becoming synonymous with stockings.
Nylon has many commercial uses other than hosiery. In the automotive industry, nylon fibers form the cords that provide strength for tires. DuPont's willingness to stop nylon hose production during World War II and only a few years after their introduction and the company's work with the military continues to provide benefits as it develops uses for the material. DuPont's newer formulations allow production of items other than fabric, including gears, ball bearings, cams and valves to replace metal parts while reducing weight.

John had heard good things about Rocna anchors, and decided to replace his existing plough. Over the period of a vacation cruise during the Christmas holidays, John spent some time testing his new anchor. He mentions that 40 knots of wind one night did not budge his yacht.
Find out what our clients from around the world are saying about our products and services.
With a large displacement hull weighing in at 20 tons and a LOA of 54', Kristina presents a considerable profile to the wind. Tired of dragging their old generation anchor, Tony E. needed a final solution.
When the champagne bottle christened Shayne and Wendy Tobin's new world cruiser, it met its end against the heel of a Rocna 30. Launched in New Zealand's Bay of Islands, Waiora was built solely by its owners. She is to take the couple, together with daughter Kaya, around the world.
The New Zealand Marauder Association has an affinity for Rocna anchors, with some of the feedback reproduced below from their newsletter. A Rocna 10 was donated as a prize for their 2006 National Championships, and the following entry is by the winner.
Dutch couple Marianne and Paul W. have been cruising on their yacht since 2003, in the Mediterranean, the Netherlands, and inbetween. They are now planning to leave in 2008 on an extended cruise of 5 to 10 years, and are preparing the boat for that expedition.
American cruising guru Steve Dashew was interested in new generation anchors, and bought a Rocna for his new 83' ocean-going motoryacht Wind Horse.
With regard our recent sail from France to Croatia we arrived in Dubrovnik in the dark after being greeted 20 miles out by a very nasty storm. After checking in with the Harbourmaster and immigration police we were told we couldn't stay on the jetty - and were asked to leave.
In September 2011, a supposedly secure bay in Ionian Greece was hit by a freak weather event described as a "microburst" after the fact. The sailing club in the bay recorded a peak wind strength of 95 knots, winds that beached and destroyed many boats.
I would personally like to thank you for making a product that saved our boat today. My husband and I live on our Sabre 34 Targa and have taken from Lake Michigan on a journey to the Caribbean which we are still en route to.
I wanted to share an email with you that we sent to our friends and family while we were cruising from Miami, FL to St Thomas, Virgin Islands when we were attacked by Hurricane Sandy with recorded winds of 126 mph on the bow of our boat while we held fast with our 40 kg Rocna anchor.

Deciding to outsource any part of your business is a big decision. Hiring an accountant to do your books makes sense and probably won't cause you much consternation (apart from when the invoice lands on your desk).
Equally, a HR Consultant is worth their weight in gold when it comes to ensuring staff are happy and not threatening you with a tribunal every five minutes.
But what about the other little tasks? The things that you genuinely think you can handle, or learn how to do adequately. As mentioned last week these little things can take up a lot of time, which ultimately costs you money because you're not dedicating your attention to revenue generation. Outsourcing to a professional in that particular field could end up saving you money, not
No doubt you have sat down and meticulously worked out the benefits of getting someone else to do whatever task it is. It's not a decision you take lightly, after all, you've spent a lot of time, money and energy building your business. It's your baby. Or one of them. How do you know you can trust the person you are handing some of the reigns over to?
Finding the right person to collaborate with or rely on can be tricky, and it's well worth doing some homework before you jump in to the first relationship that comes along.
Here at Time Saving Heroes we are good at what we do, we are well respected and people speak very highly of us. However, even we are realistic enough to know that we are not the right fit for everyone.
As a business owner or even an individual you will have certain things that are deal breakers. For some its cost, for others it's response time, others value qualifications while some look for longevity and experience within the field. Only you know what is likely to tick your boxes and make someone the right proposition for you.
One thing I can say about Time Saving Heroes, other than our ability to do the job in the first place, is that we are approachable, and responsive. When a customer has a query or even a concern about what we are doing for them, their business or their brand, we react immediately. Such conversations don't happen often, but when they do, we don't hide from them. We want to tackle any difficulties you have with our service up front and honestly. You can always get hold of us and know that we will do what is needed.
As we are friendly and approachable, and we always keep lines of communication open with our clients, people waste no time in coming back to us with any problems they have. A particular approach on social media may not be working, it may be the wrong tone of voice, or the wrong vibe for your business. Picking up the phone, or having a face to face meeting can quickly put an end to any concerns, and will allow us to look at an alternative approach immediately.
We value every one of our customers, we know just how important your business is to you so we will respond to you immediately, or as close to immediately as possible. This is one thing we can guarantee at Time Saving Heroes – you will never be ignored or passed over for a bigger client.

(GUEST REVIEW BY ROBERT DAYTON) (Calico Corp) Paint if you will a picture of a band that's recorded 11 albums of material that you need to hear. They heard a new world as well and they heard it prolificallaexpiallidociously. Here's some magick mmmoments from those albums made accessible as a double LP, limited edition 333 copies (plus a CDR of other stuff, plus download code). Distill it, shake it up, and double up. The front sleeve initializes the name of Zacht Automaat. ZA it says, but it ain't the PIZ or the PITS, it's a PARTY, an ever shifting moody party with a ring that fits just right! Mostly organ/synth and drums with other instruments careening in and out. Sounds of science coming to fluid fruition, all organic like, processionals, cartoon free jazz liberation marches, feather s falling, seaside strolls under a Chroma key mountain, song titles like "Reprise Surprise/Brief Resolution." Gawwwd, this ain't a big pot of soup stretching out to simmer, it's a grab bag, a bursting box of chocolates, and they're all winners, there is that Soft Machine influence, but just before they turned to wank fusion, and c'mon guyyyyys, it's just one of many leaping off points, and they don't just look, they touch, it ain't no doppelgang, but I must say, at times they sound like actual soft machines, not the band, but actual soft machines! It's really alive! You know something, I once went to New York City in search of the last automat, I really wanted a fully vended meal in an establishment of stainless steel, and couldn't find it, it was gone, I was empty handed with an empty stomach but, here all along was Zacht Automaat -in Canada no less! Hooray!

CA Governor Recognizes HERO Program with California's Highest Environmental & Economic Honor
Western Riverside Council of Governments and the HERO Program receive Governor's Environmental and Economic Leadership Award
Dec 12, 2013, 12:28 ET
SACRAMENTO, Calif., Dec. 12, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- California Gov. Jerry Brown presented the HERO Program with the Governor's Environmental and Economic Leadership Award.
The state presented this award to recognize the success of the HERO Program, which is a public-private partnership between cities and counties and the private sector that empowers property owners to become more energy efficient. In less than two years, the HERO Program has become the largest Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) financing program in the nation.
The Governor's Environmental and Economic Leadership Award (GEELA) is California's highest environmental honor. The program recognizes individuals, organizations, and businesses that have demonstrated exceptional leadership and made notable, voluntary contributions in conserving California's precious resources, protecting and enhancing our environment, building public-private partnerships and strengthening the state's economy. The GEELA program is administered by the California Environmental Protection Agency.
"The HERO Program is honored to accept this award on behalf of all the cities and counties that are participating in the HERO Program," Renovate America CEO JP McNeill said. "In the past two years, the HERO Program has helped over 6,000 property owners to make energy efficient upgrades to their homes which will reduce their annual energy consumption by over 67 Gigawatts and reduce annual CO2 emissions by 17,000 tons. The work associated with these projects has helped create more than 1,000 new jobs and more than $208 million in economic stimulus in the State of California. The award acknowledges both the economic and environmental benefits it brings to cities and counties in California."
HERO is now available to nearly 10 million California residents who reside in 13 counties including Los Angeles, Orange, San Diego, Riverside, San Bernardino, Sacramento, Merced, Kern, Solano, Stanislaus, Imperial, Fresno and Santa Clara County.
More than 150,000 types of improvements are available to property owners with financing through HERO. Among the most popular upgrades are whole-home heating and cooling (HVAC), solar power, energy-saving windows, solar thermal (pools and water heating), and insulation, among others.
"Our partnership with the HERO Program has been a win for everyone involved," said Rick Bishop, Executive Director of WRCOG. "Homeowners win by lowering their utility bills, the environment wins with reduced greenhouse gases and our community wins through the creation of new jobs and increased economic stimulus."

About The HERO Program: The HERO Program is a private-public partnership that enables any city or county to offer PACE financing to property owners within their community. The Program is privately funded and requires no cost outlays by the participating communities. HERO has received many awards, including the State of California Governor's Environmental and Economic Leadership Award, Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) President's Award for Excellence and the United States Green Building Council (USGBC) California Top 10 Green Building Policies for Municipalities.

I really enjoyed making my last video so I thought I would give it another whirl. While I was looking for music to use, I found this really great punk rock song by Punk Rock Opera. It's a grimey, rough, fast song that didn't make sense to use for that video. The problem was, I couldn't imagine what kind of video would make sense.
Click on the video above to hear my thought process, and see what I made. This is just a silly experiment, but I had a good time making it. I hope you enjoy!

Our usual correspondent, François Carrel, has skipped off for some fun and games in the land of totalitarian rule, Iran. Lucky for us, Caroline Allagnat has stepped up and told us that Stéphane Benoist and Chamonix's Yannick Graziani are back in action!
During a phone call on the 19th, Yannick told Caroline that the bad weather had passed and the team had returned to base camp after waiting out the storm at a tea house a few hours down valley. In the end there wasn't as much snow fall as they thought.
The team immediately placed an advanced base camp at 5200m and had planned to spend that night and the whole day yesterday at ABC before attempting the Japanese Route on the South Face. The Japanese Route was established by Hiroshi Aota and Yukihiro Yanagisawa on 29 October 1981. In the days following their teammates Haruyuki Endo and Yasuji Kato were moving towards the summit when Kato fell to his death. Nonetheless, Yannick describes the route as 'fairly safe' because it follows a spur.
Strong winds have been forecast for the 22nd, 23rd and 24th however the team believes they won't be affected since they are on the face and a two-day window should be all they need to reach the summit but of course it's difficult for them to estimate without fully knowing the difficulties they will encounter. The team is feeling strong and their spirits are high.
We're hoping for more news as the team moves up. Until then, ALLEZ LES FRANCAIS!!!
British Annapurna III Expedition – East Ridge
Meanwhile, over on Annapurna III, the Brits are waxing philosophical and preparing to climb to their previous high point on the East Ridge tonight. Tomorrow they plan to climb halfway up the 1000m face before heading back to BC.
To get the full story including Nick's lyric prose check out their blog at British Annapurna III Expedition.
Go the Brits!

Leading an organization, a group, a team or even yourself can be difficult.
Great leadership can also seem so simple, it's misleading.
In thinking about my leadership and that of others around me – great leaders and lacking leaders alike – I thought I'd put together leadership lessons I've learned and strive for. Yes I miss the mark sometimes, but it's something I definitely work on every day. I'm blessed to have had 2 years of leadership training at a previous job – thank you AmeriFirst – and I study leaders to try and make myself better.

You know that moment when you're standing in front of the refrigerator looking for something when you aren't even hungry? When you realize the world around you judges you by your body shape and size? When your value becomes entangled with what we see in the mirror? Welcome to the Diet Zone. When you're ready to lose, I can help you win.
My mission is to help women who are struggling with their weight, who look to food to relieve stress, boredom, and emotional issues, and then feel that their value as a person is tied to their weight or any other kind of performance.
After 40 years on a diet to counter my emotional eating, I finally disarmed the triggers of comfort eating and freed myself from that yo-yo.
What makes my approach distinctive is that I am trained as a chaplain with a Master's degree in counseling, and this expertise enables me to help my clients free themselves emotionally by addressing their spiritual, physical, and emotional needs.
The result is that my clients get the body they want, find true comfort without comfort food, and embrace the beautiful person they are from inside out.
With a Master's degree in Marriage and Family Counseling and a Clinical Residency in Pastoral Care, I utilize traditional and contemporary models as well as relaxation and horse-assisted methods. I have worked as a chaplain and counselor in long-term acute care hospitals and hospice for more than a decade serving patients, families, and staff. In 2011, I opened an international private practice in counseling serving clients and colleagues in the U. S., United Kingdom, Canada, Germany, Switzerland, India, South Africa, Romania, Australia, and New Zealand.
Michael and I began the joyous adventure of marriage in 1995.
I work via Skype, FaceTime, Phone, as well as in person.

Before and after photos: Forty years on my own yo-yo, although I don't have a photo of my first diet at age 10. I figure I lost about 2000 pounds–up and down one or two here and there to big chunks of 10- 15 before regaining it to the last time I lost 25 pounds by facing my stuff and disarming my triggers of comfort eating.

Kudos to Kristal Morfa (Boston, '15). She recently accepted a position as an Empire Fellow with KIPP AMP in Brooklyn, NY.
Why have you decided to teach?
KM: I never thought about teaching until I joined Generation Teach. I always knew I wanted to work with kids and make education more accessible to first generation students like myself, but I always thought teaching wasn't for me. I thought maybe I could do some background work that wasn't as serious as leading a classroom. I realized not too long ago that the reason I didn't want to teach was because I was scared. I was scared of the responsibility that comes with it and how much your students will look up to you as a role model and as a leader. Realizing this made me see that I absolutely have to try teaching. I know I have the capability to help students on more than just an academic level, but also on a personal level. Teaching is a profession that takes heart because you are a figure in a child's life that can make or break their future.
Why did you choose KIPP? What support will you receive as a first year teacher?
KM: I chose to be part of KIPP because they have given so much to me over the last 12 years of my life that it made sense to give back to them. I owe them a lot! If it weren't for KIPP I wouldn't be getting my diploma in May. I specifically wanted to work with elementary school students because I believe that it is important to make good first impressions on students in the academic world so that they can succeed later on. As a first-year teacher, I will be receiving a ton of support. Similarly to GT, I will receive feedback on a regular basis and have a resident advisor who serves almost as a teacher coach. I'll also be a student at the Relay Graduate School of Education receiving a master's in teaching.
What are you most excited about?
KM: I can't wait to work with this age group because they are so excited about everything! Children at this age are full of innocence and just want someone who's willing to teach them everything they want to know. That takes a lot of patience and a love for children that not everyone has. I'm also excited that I'll get to be in Brooklyn and close to family.
What did you learn from the job process? Were you asked to submit performance tasks, teach demo lessons, or answer unexpected questions?
KM: This application process did not require any performance tasks or demo lessons but they require you to submit video recordings of yourself answering questions. From this process, I learned to just be honest about who you are. During my final interview with KIPP, the principal asked me what someone who doesn't like working with me would say my weakness is and I was very honest. For her, this was one of the things that really solidified me as a good candidate for the program.
Do you have any advice for your GT colleagues?
KM: Go for what you want! You'll regret it later on if you don't try. The easiest choice isn't always the best choice and if you're a dreamer with big goals and aspirations, it's probably the least desirable choice so don't hold back and aim high! Don't take the easy route just because it's safe.
What is your favorite memory from GT?
KM: One of my favorite memories from GT was that faculty meeting where we played Just Dance. It was awesome to see how much fun we could have and how silly we could get!

Meiigoo S8 is finally officially launched with a massive 6.1 Inch display with 18:9 aspect ratio. The device is powered by a 1.5 GHz Octa-Core MTK6750T processor aided by 4GB RAM and 64GB internal storage. The highlighting features of Meiigoo S8 are its dual curved 3D display and dual rear camera setup for beautiful portraits.
As the device is officially launched, the complete specifications of the device are available. So, let's go through some of the eye catching specifications.
Although the S8 sports a massive 6.1 Inch display, the device keeps the footprint by using the trendy 18:9 display aspect ratio along with edge-to-edge design keeping really thin bezels. The smartphone sports dual-sided 3D glass processes by advanced heat-bending technology, to make it look more premium and improve hand grip. Read more.
The Meiigoo S8 features a 6.1 Inch display with 720 x 1440 HD+ resolution and 3D curved glass. The display delivers more vivid colors and sharp details. The screen to body ratio is as high as 83%, so you could better immerse in the boundless world.
RAM and Storage:
The Meiigoo S8 packs a 4GB RAM and 64GB RAM which is further expandable up to 256GB via microSD card. The device can handle multiple tasks easily all thanks to the 4GB RAM, and with 64GB storage, you have enough space to store your music, video and other files.
Powerful CPU:
Meiigoo S8 is powered by the Octa-core MediaTek MTK6750T chipset clocked at 1.5GHz. With this CPU, the S8 can perform better and is more power efficient than any other processors in this price range.
Dual Rear Camera Setup and Front Snapper:
The Meiigoo S8 sports dual rear camera setup with the primary camera being Sony 13MP shooter combined with the 5MP secondary camera. The two cameras should help in grabbing photos with more details and less noise in low light conditions and they also add the fancy bokeh effect to the pictures. On the front, we find a 5MP shooter to take selfies and to make video calls.
The fingerprint scanner on Meiigoo S8 is placed on the back just below the dual camera setup. According to Meiigoo, the sensor is really fast and accurate and you can unlock your device in 0.1 seconds. You can set up to 5 fingerprints on the device.
Meiigoo S8 packs a 3300mAh battery which will last a whole day. There is also a physical button to kill all the power consuming tasks, thus helping the battery to last long.

Portrait Services
I enjoy taking natural light outdoor portraits and would be delighted for you to be my next subject! If you'd like to schedule a portrait session, please let me know. Right now I am only doing portrait sessions for individuals, couples and small families and only doing them at our own property in Poetry, Texas. I do this in my spare time, so scheduling is limited. Since I do this more as a hobby than a business for the time being, my prices are extremely reasonable.
There are NO up-front costs or sitting fees. All I ask is that you allow me to display a few of the photos here as a sample of my portrait work. This way you risk nothing but your time and buy only the fully edited photos that you like. (You can go to any photo that is for sale and click "Buy" to see my print pricing.) Your satisfaction is guaranteed or you pay nothing.
Upon completion or your portrait session, you will receive a 25% off discount code for print orders totaling $200 or more. And if you order $250 or more, you will also receive full resolution digital copies with print release. I don't think you'll find a more economical opportunity for senior portraits, engagement portraits or "just because" portraits.
Feel free to email me at: email@example.com.
