Gray was then appointed as the presiding judge of the Superior Court of Orange County, California, by Governor George Deukmejian and served in that position from 1989 until 2009 when he retired from the bench. In 2004 Gray took a break from his duties as Judge and was the Libertarian candidate for the United States Senate in California. He has always been an outspoken critic of the War on Drugs and in 2011 he was one of the four co-sponsors of the initiative Regulate Marijuana Like Wine which would have placed the same regulations on cannabis as that for wine in California. In 2012 Gray received the nomination of Libertarian Party convention delegates on the first ballot with 60% of the vote and became the running mate of former New Mexico Governor Gary Johnson in the 2012 Presidential election. He is the author of multiple books including Why Our Drug Laws Have Failed and What We Can Do About It – A Judicial Indictment of the War on Drugs.

In 2016 Campbell published an Op Ed in the San Jose Mercury calling on the Republican National Committee to replace Donald Trump as the nominee for President, and stating that Campbell would withdraw from the Republican Party if that did not happen. Campbell officially changed his registration to independent shortly thereafter. Campbell was also included on a list of potential Supreme Court nominees issued by Libertarian Party Presidential nominee Gary Johnson.

Long(er) hair, don't care! Jennifer Lawrence shows off new hairstyle
Jennifer Lawrence's pixie cut is no more.
The Oscar-winning actress shocked fans when she chopped her famous long locks last year, but is now embracing the bob as her style changes.
She's rarely photographed candidly, but the Hunger Games star was spotted chatting with friends in New York City.
Lawrence has made a conscious effort to avoid the spotlight of late, after her hectic promotional tour of The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, followed by awards season, where she earned a string of Best Supporting Actress nominations for her role in American Hustle
She's currently preparing to film the third and final instalment of the Hunger Games franchise in Atlanta, Georgia.
Earlier this year, the stunning blonde actress revealed that after she's finished work on the last instalment of The Hunger Games, she'll be turning her phone off "for a year".
But movie big wigs think that could be massive mistake, as the star should cash in on her huge popularity.
"Jennifer's been working non-stop, but a whole year's a long time to not be making movies. She needs to keep up the momentum if she wants a career with longevity like Meryl Streep's," LA screenwriter Craig Victor told British magazine Now.
Jennifer shot to superstardom thanks to starring role as Katniss Everdeen in the movie version of hit book series The Hunger Games.
She has also appeared in the X-Men franchise and American Hustle and her turn as Tiffany in 2012's Silver Linings Playbook earned her a best actress Oscar.
Her relationship with British actor Nicholas Hoult is apparently one of the reason she wants to take a break, as the pair hope to spend more time together.

2019 Mercedes E Cabriolet. As the newest member of the E-Class family, the cabriolet continues the styling theme of being a midsize, shrunken-down S-Class. Its lines are clean and elegant, much like that larger S-Class Cabriolet. And like the S-Class, the E Cabriolet comes jam-packed with typical Mercedes-Benz opulence, lots of tech, and the option for a million miles worth of headroom. To keep with tradition, the Mercedes-Benz E Cabriolet comes with a folding soft top. Though unlike cabriolets of the past, the new E Cabriolet's roof strongly resembles the coupe when up to keep from messing with the car's aesthetic flow. When down, Mercedes specifically designed the roof to be minimally intrusive to trunk space.
To increase hauling capabilities for the weekend trips to the Hamptons, Mercedes made 50:50 folding rear seat backrests standard, boosting the car's practicality factor. The new 2019 Mercedes E Cabriolet, making its debut next week at the Geneva auto show, is arguably the most beautiful. The shoulder line, which takes the expression of a crease in the C- and S-class, is artfully integrated on the E-class, with no sharp radii. The taillights are slim and horizontal. Even with the optional AMG Line styling package, the car looks subdued and elegant, although the standard trim looks better in our opinion. Following its world reveal at Geneva, the 2019 Mercedes E Cabriolet shows up in New York for its U.S. premiere.
This 2019 Mercedes E Cabriolet benefits from the generous size of its new platform. Compared with its predecessor, the car is 5.0 inches longer and 2.9 inches wider and rides on a 4.4-inch-longer wheelbase. The rear seats are more spacious than before; they also offer available heaters. In a way, this is the first real E Cabriolet since the W124 of the early and mid-1990s. That car was replaced by the CLK, which had far more in common with the smaller C-class. The outgoing E-class coupe and cabriolet continued that approach, sharing their track and wheelbase dimensions with the C.
The new model, like the new 2019 E-class coupe, is based on the E-class sedan for real. And that certainly helps to differentiate it from the C-class cabriolet. Just one example of the Mercedes attention to detail: An optional version of the windshield wipers carrying the somewhat unfortunate name Magic Vision Control features specific programming for the cabriolet. When the top is lowered, windshield-washer fluid is dispensed chiefly while the wipers are moving downward, so the occupants don't get sprayed. Of course, the cabriolet will offer all the regular E-class sedan features, including the available digital instrument cluster, air suspension, and adaptive cruise control with steering assist.
Perhaps the only unfortunate part is that there's no V-8 in the E-class lineup, except for the Mercedes-AMG E63 that won't be offered as a 2019 Mercedes E Cabriolet. U.S. buyers get a 329-hp twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter V-6, sold under the E400 moniker. Down the road, there might be a 3.0-liter inline-six boosted by an electric supercharger and a turbocharger, offering more than 400 horsepower and marketed as the AMG E50. But such a model is still some way off; for now, the E400 is it. Its twin-turbo V-6 is paired with a nine-speed automatic. All-wheel drive, you guessed it, is optional.
The E Cabriolet's power-operated fabric top is heavily padded, has interior roof lighting, and comes in four colors: red, black, dark blue, and dark brown. The windshield frame is finished in polished or matte aluminum, depending on the trim. Judging from our prototype ride, it will be virtually impossible to tell the 2019 Mercedes E Cabriolet from a coupe from the inside when the top is up. When it's down an exercise that takes just 20 seconds and can be performed at speeds up to 30 mph the available Airscarf system, which blows warm air around the necks of the front passengers, combines with Mercedes' Aircap, a turbulence-reducing wing that rises from the windshield header, to create a less drafty environment in chilly weather.
Pricing hasn't been announced, as the car won't reach dealers until late 2018. We expect, however, that the 2019 Mercedes E Cabriolet will sticker in the mid-$60,000 range, positioned between BMW's 4-series and 6-series cabriolets and close to the Audi S5 cabriolet.

Call us today for your FREE Consultation
A good thing to realize is that we use technology and technology does not use us. One does not have to use Twitter as discussed above, and there is no reason to jump in and do everything at once. It is best to start with listening. What are people saying about you? What conversations can you be a part of? What types of proactive reach can you do and what do you need to be reactive to? For you and for your company, be sure to choose how to use the technology.
If a commitment is made to become part of an online community and conversations, commit to taking the feedback to the company and asking what you can do to change and actually make the company change. Determine what the customers want and figure out a way to get back to the company mission and values.
Benchmark your social media efforts and see if they are creating any return on investment on organic search engines through relevant content and information. Use a trend graph when trying to benchmark your social media and Internet strategy efforts. (A trend graph provides information at a glance through graphing out ups, downs, and horizontals [growth stalls] to provide metrics of valuable information needed in the study being performed.)
Message boards and forums are important ways for companies to brand. Think about why a person joins a forum; it is based on similar interests and commonalities. Online communities become trusted resources to ask advice about things not related to the same online forum or online community. However, relationships have been developed and trust is gained.
According to http://www.big-boards.com, the most active message boards and forums on the Web, they list out and rate different blog posts. When visiting this Web site, it is easy to sort and filter by different blog posts, memberships, page views, traffic, online users, Alexa ranking (a relative measurement of how popular a Web site is among the Internet community), and much more.
Knowing blogs are becoming a relevant communication tool, this is something you may want to consider doing for your own exposure, as long as you have relevant content that people will want to follow.
We are experiencing an explosion in social media participation around the world. It is becoming harder and harder to run a business without using social media. It is time to figure out how your business fits into this social media world and how to develop a strategic market place online. Social media is much different than Internet marketing. Once you understand the mind-set of social media, the core of all your social ability, and heart of your search engine optimization (SEO), the rankings will be paid off through more visibility, more leads, and potentially more sales.
Learn about these online communities and how to engage in them. With a Web presence, active social media usage, and search engine optimization strategies, you can deliver a content strategy designed to sell your products and services online. I have found social media to be very beneficial both personally and professionally. Social media content I am personally using are LinkedIn, Twitter, Squidoo, Facebook, Google+, WordPress and lots of widgets for measuring my time and efforts in Social Media.
Spread links, contents, and messages to the far reaches of the social sphere. Tie all of this into a constant web of influence while gaining higher search engine ability. Integrated social media initiatives will increase Web presence and grow your business strategies.

LinkedIn recently announced their update to Company Pages that now helps companies and small businesses become more engaged on the network. Having a Company page is a company's profile of record on LinkedIn and is a powerful tool to speak to millions of professionals through word-of-mouth recommendations with trusted testimonials. It is very similar to a LinkedIn Profile for a company.
If you're already a LinkedIn Member, Company pages are a new great way to research companies you are interested in, follow what they have to say through their updates and shared information, and see what kind of people work there. You can even review products and services you use on a Company Page.
Company Pages present a great opportunity to reveal the human side of your company by allowing others to peek at the individuals behind your brand and highlight how members use your products or services. A Company Page offers tools to bring your brand to life and truly engage your audience.
Until now, company pages existed in isolation. Businesses are now able to update their individual company page to enable followers to receive updates and insights about company news, employee moves, job opportunities and much more. This is a brand new opportunity to showcase your thought leadership and expand your business.
Want to post a company status update for your Company? Any company page administrator can post a note in the status box on your company's overview page. Keep your followers thinking about your company by sharing updates, promotions, announcements, news articles or videos. Updates will appear on your followers' home pages. Followers can comment, like or share updates. This allows you to develop a unique conversation between your company and your followers. Best of all, these interactions can be seen by your followers' networks exposing your company to a greater audience. You can also view the LinkedIn Metrics to see what followers found engaging to optimize the conversation. Get your company conversation started today by setting up a company page on LinkedIn.
Brands can now have company pages, and users can 'follow' the company page for updates from those companies. The LinkedIn network has more of a business networking and career focus, and the way that users connect is much more formal. Users in LinkedIn often have fewer, more intimate connections than they would on Facebook or Twitter. The content shared and discussions started to engage your audience are usually more industry and business-focused which makes LinkedIn a great source for B2B Marketing.
Want to find and follow your favorite Companies? You can locate and find interesting companies in one of two ways:
From any Member's LinkedIn Profile.
You can click through to company pages from any LinkedIn Member's profile. Just mouse-over any company on a LinkedIn profile page and on the resulting popup, click through to a company page or click the "Follow Company" link. If a smaller company has not claimed their company page, you may not find them.
From the LinkedIn Header.
One of the easiest ways to find a Company Page's homepage is in the LinkedIn navigation bar at the top of any page. You can also search by using the search box in the box in the navigation bar for any company.
From the Company Page.
If you've found a company page of interest that you like by searching for a specific company name or keyword, just click "Follow Company" to stay updated on that company.
Having the ability to follow companies helps you track developments at companies of interest to you, including job opportunities or other business developments.
Now that you know how to set up a Company Page and Search and Follow Other Company Pages, listed below are Tips to Engage your Audience Listeners.
Five tips to "turbo-charge" your LinkedIn company status updates:
1. Say "Hello" to Start a Relationship.
Introduce yourself first by describing who you are, why you and your business are here and don't start off with the sales pitch. Truly engage your audience. Get to know your audience. For example, an IT services firm should tailor its messages differently to their tech-savvy followers than an audience of marketing executives.
Remember - your followers are already interested in hearing what you have to say so be brief, authentic, honest and relevant.
3. Think Quality - Not Quantity.
Offer insightful news, tips and other relevant information about your industry or business. Engage your followers with what you have to say and build relationships. Don't just blast yoru readers with sales pitches or promotional messages.
Develop friends first! If you build your LinkedIn Company Page based on relevant content, the business results will follow. A humorous, effective status update can go viral and expose you to a wider audience as your followers "like," share, or comment on company-driven content with their own professional network of followers.
A great example is Dell's update about rival HP that created lots of buzz recently.
2. Mix Up Your Content with Varying Your Status Updates.
Company Status Updates are posts made by a company to share anything from company news about product releases to promotions to relevant industry tips and articles. Company posts are visible on the company's Overview tab by any LinkedIn member. Anyone who follows a company will see the posts directly on their homepage. All LinkedIn members are able to view posts, click on embedded links or view videos and are also able to comment, like, or share a post.
In one post, consider highlighting a new product release, share an article link to press coverage or industry news and in another post, highlight a new product release or a list of hot topics or hot jobs. Photos are great! Try posting a YouTube video, opinion pole or even an infographic - even better.
Here are some great examples of spicing up your content and engaging you readers:
The Harvard Business School Executive Education that posts video Q&As with faculty, online newsletters, podcasts, and other multimedia content to engage with users.
Intuit posts a weekly news video broadcast to keep their followers informed:
4. Participate in Conversations.
Ask for feedback from your followers and find out what they want from your company. Start by asking questions and then watch how your followers respond and interact with other readers who are commenting.
Answer their questions timely and highlight insightful comments and show your followers that you're actually listening to what they are saying.
5. Analyze Your Engagement Often.
How do you know if you're doing well? Utilize the Free Analytics Tool in LinkedIn and check the stats that appear on your posts within 24 hours after your status update goes live. This will allow you to see what types of information and links create the most comments, likes, and clicks. Use this data to understand who your followers are, refine your strategy and optimize the conversation.
Use your time wisely and effectively in your social media marketing efforts. Remember: just because a social network is "popular," doesn't make it necessarily right for your business or industry. Use analytics as your guideline for what steps to take next. Monitor the traffic and leads you're generating from your online presence on each individual social media site. Is the return on investment (ROI) significant enough based on the amount of time and effort you're spending there? Is one social networking site performing better for you than another? These are all important questions to adjust your strategy accordingly so you can focus more of your time on the social networks that work for you and your business, and less of your time on those that don't.

What Can LinkedIn Do for Me?
LinkedIn has been around since 2003, and many people use it differently. The question of what it can do for people seems to be a very popular question. In short, LinkedIn is a professional networking site with an executive representation of Fortune 500 companies. It is a great way to find people and is a great way to read someone's business history in a single screen. The site also helps you to understand who they know and network with.
Some interesting facts you probably did not know about LinkedIn:
- The average number of LinkedIn connections for people who work at Google is forty-seven.
- The average number for Harvard Business School grads is fifty-eight, so you could skip the MBA, work at Google, and probably get most of the connections you need. Later, you can hire Harvard MBAs to prepare your income taxes.
- People with more than twenty connections are thirty-four times more likely to be approached with a job opportunity than people with less than five.
- All 500 of the Fortune 500 are represented in LinkedIn. In fact, 499 of them are represented by director-level and above employees.

Invisible eats
Categories: Features
Ahead of her upcoming demo, Celia Brooks talks about the 'invisible' food source that's right on our doorstep
When you live by your wits in one of the most expensive cities in the world, getting a good bargain becomes a survivalist art. Getting something valuable for free is a rare but satisfying gift that gives you a bit of an adrenalin buzz. Depending on your interpretation of value, there are tonnes of free gifts out there for the taking, when you know what to look for and where to look.
People who know the price of everything and the value of nothing won't appreciate the kind of free gifts I'm talking about, but if you're interested in how to get genuine little thrills that will enhance your wellbeing, read on. A slightly nerdy foodie disposition would come in handy, too—but you probably wouldn't be here reading this article if you didn't have that to some degree.
Invisible Food is an ongoing urban foraging project founded by Ceri Buckmaster, my partner for the free cooking demo this Friday at Borough Market as part of the Chelsea Fringe Festival. "'Invisible food' refers to everything that sustains us that isn't ordinarily visible," says Ceri. "The 'food' is the wild foods such as nettle or elderflower that we can harvest and learn how to use."
However, there is also a deeper, more soulful interpretation of invisible food as something that "sustains us emotionally and spiritually, and creates a strong community and connection with the earth." As city dwellers, most of us are naïve to the plethora of free food available in our urban green spaces, and seeking it can be a mindful and healing antidote to city life.
Ripe for picking
Do you know your mallow from your goosegrass? Would you be surprised to learn that these delicious edibles are likely to be ripe for picking a few strides away from your office? With a little bit of knowledge, invisible food suddenly reveals itself in abundance. You will be amazed how many previously invisible free edible gifts are all around you, all year round, and once your curiosity is aroused you will start seeing them everywhere.
You can tap into your primitive DNA and very easily learn to recognise edible plants (and how to identify poisonous ones too). It is a primeval form of learning, and it actually makes you feel quite clever. This, combined with civilised common sense for safety and an informed respect for the environment, adds up to a fun and deeply rewarding exercise, both outdoors and in the kitchen.
For £5 per person, you can join Ceri's foraging walk Friday 26th May from 11am—12:30pm around parks in Bermondsey. You'll bring your haul back to the demo kitchen at Borough Market, where Ceri and I will present a free cooking demo utilising the harvest. We are anticipating cooking stuffed lime tree leaves, elderflower fritters, sea purslane tempura, creamed ground elder pasta, and more, and all will be available to taste, along with recipe cards to take home. Don't miss this unique event to celebrate the soulful abundance of May in London!

The point is not to make the reader feel the burden of this responsibility, but understand how politics are the art of the possible. What is politics; how we decide things as a group, how do you make a good argument, and on the other hand how do you listen at other people's arguments, why conflict is good, and when it starts to be bad, how to keep all of this process honest, are some of the questions addressed by the book. The text is very accessible, and the author manages to avoid difficult or "big" words. The only few that are used are very well explained. The chapters include case studies to better illustrate how things work in real life, and at the end of the book there is also a glossary, index, and list of sources. I was surprised by the fresh and hopeful approach of this book. I am glad I crossed paths with it, and plan to buy a copy for my kids soon. Indisputable 5 stars to me.
Take a look at the author's introduction to the book in this short video.
I received this copy from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Microsoft Corporation announced on Friday that it had run a successful preview test of its new operating system, Windows 10, for use on phones. The fact that phones were originally not included on the software giant's preview list, mark an accomplishment that shows Microsoft is ahead of its game against its competitors. According to previous reports, the company had suffered from losses since the release of Apples new iPhone. IDC reported that at the end of last year, Windows smartphones had an estimated 2.7 percent market share against Google's 82 percent market share, and Apple iOS with 13.8 percent.
Due to the direction of the market toward smartphones, it is therefore no surprise that the Microsoft Corporation is trying to gain a larger piece of the pie. In the past, when the Redmond based company had launched phone apps, it did so on limited platforms, as the manufacturers at the time did not have the partition space on their phones available to accommodate the amount of apps Microsoft anticipated putting through. After its software department got to work addressing these limitations, it was able to come up with a solution. This involved creating a code that had a partition stitching feature, which made it possible for Windows to support a wider array of phones. The Microsoft Windows 10 preview was then tested on Nokia Lumia phones, which was reported successful. With this new code, phones with even as little as 512 megabytes of RAM (random access memory), will be able to run some of the latest Windows 10 applications and tasks. Here are some of the features users can look forward to.
Universal smartphone apps
Apps that had never been able to run on older phones will be accessible in its new code, including OneDrive cloud storage, which will provide users with the same experience and capabilities as iCloud found on Apple products. Users will also have access to Office apps, such as Word, Excel, Powerpoint, and Outlook. Microsoft's Corporate Vice President, Joe Belfior, further stated that these apps will work the same on the phone as they do on a desktop. Word and Powerpoint will feature a bar that slides across the screen from the bottom, where users can access commands and tools.
Cross platform and app synchronization
Through OneDrive integration, users will be able to sync between their phone and desktop with their Microsoft Office apps, including their new mobile versions of Outlook Mail and Outlook Calendar. Through a swipe of the finger, they can delete emails and events, while saving others as it synchronizes to all their other devices and keeps them up to date. Messaging will also be integrated with third party apps like Skype.
Better accessibility to keyboard and commonly used apps
The new operating system will feature what is called, the Action Center, and will sync up with the desktop, allowing the user to expand some items and to delete them. In the main menu, the most frequently or recently used app will appear on top for greater accessibility. Also making the experience more seamless will be the new WorkFlow keyboard, which can be moved around the screen making it easier to operate the device with one hand.
Microsoft's new Windows 10 photo app
The new photo app will also run across platforms, and when synced will eliminate duplicate images, as well as multiple ones from burst mode shots. Windows 10 will format the images so that they appear correctly on all devices, and will also feature auto-enhance tools, such as red-eye elimination and auto brightness and contrast, which the user can also manually adjust. A similar feature will eventually be introduced to organize music.
Brand new web browser and search engine
Microsoft's new browser Spartan is the next generation Internet Explorer. Its feature Cortana will rival the iOS Siri, which will pop up during web searches, offering answers to common searches like weather. Using the user database, it will customize searches to provide them with a personalized experience, integrating it with the Bing search engine.
Though a final release date has not yet been confirmed, the successful Microsoft Windows 10 preview has pleasantly surprised users who have been looking to a more viable alternative to what is available, which can work with their Windows desktops. A beta version has been made available to users who want to get more of an inside look, and Microsoft promises that it will be releasing more apps and features in the near future.

Puppy Love
Oh do I have some cuteness for your Sunday!
Those of you that have been reading Southern In Law for a while, you'll know that Jesse isn't the only love of my life. There's also a beautiful little puppy called Chanel.
During the holidays, Jesse and I had a mini photoshoot with our beautiful pup thanks to Katie, who is also the writer of Wedding Dogs.
If you're after some smiles, make sure you have a look through the Wedding Dogs Blog to see some super sweet pictures of Couples who incorporated their four legged pals into their big day.
I'm planning on asking Katie some questions about her fabulous book - and sharing some of the pictures and stories with you in an upcoming post - so be sure to keep an eye out!
But just in case you can't wait - the book is available for purchase at Amazon, Indie Bound, Barnes and Noble and Books A Million.
If you have any questions you'd like to ask Katie, just leave a comment and I'll be sure to ask her!
As I am a very dedicated fur-mama, the question has definitely come up as to whether Miss Chanel will be involved in our wedding - and we're not too sure yet! You see, whilst she is beautiful and very smart.... you couldn't exactly call her trained.
She's a little bit of a princess and sits when she feels like it, not when you tell her - but she's so stinkin' cute that's easily ignored!
She is the sweetest little thing you ever could hope for - she melts everyone's heart who meets her and she always keeps us smiling with her silly antics.
She cannot greet someone at the front door without frantically running to the back of the house and returning to re-greet them with a toy.
Chanel is a Chihuahua cross Shitzu and the Chihuahua side of her definitely shows because she's a little bit of a scaredy cat. She hates sneakers and bald men. Why? Don't ask me about the bald men, we have no idea.. but the sneakers - well that's because that awful little squeak sneakers make when you scuff them on tiles drives her absolutely crazy. It's the same pitch as our fire alarm when it goes low battery - and whenever that happens, Chanel will not come back inside until it has been fixed for at least 2 hours - then she knows the coast is clear.
As you can tell, I'm very much in love with my little pup - and I couldn't be without her!
So I'd love to know, tell me something you love about your pet!

Who is the Media Consortium?
The Media Consortium is a non-profit North American network of over 80 independent news outlets, collectively reaching over 100 million people a day. Our member outlets are multiplatform—online, in print, and on the air. Prominent members include Mother Jones, The Nation, Democracy Now!, Orion, Ms. Magazine, AlterNet and Grist.
Why Should your Company Sponsor the 2017 Transformative Media Conference?
For many of our outlets, the Media Consortium's annual conference is the only trade conference they attend. We expect 150 attendees, all decision makers—either Executive Directors, CEOs, Publishers, Producers or Editors. Make sure your company gets out in front of them while supporting the independent news media.
Why Should Your Foundation or Non-Profit Sponsor the Transformative Media Conference?
The Trump era poses significant real threats to our democracy and to the news media. The flip side is that the Trump era offers opportunities—especially to independent newsmedia–to transform the news media system to better reflect democratic values. The goal of this conference is to realize that opportunity.
Having functioned as outsiders, independents are better equipped than "mainstream media" to question the powerful. And unlike corporate news outlets, independent, values-driven, mission-based outlets have the trust of their audience and community.
To tranform themselves from "alternative news" to the real news people seek, independents will need to double down on the values of inclusivity and equity as well as the journalistic values of accuracy and accountability. The challenge for independent news is to live up to its own mission to put communities (rather than journalists or politicians) at its center.
Sponsorship Opportunities
Lunch: $7500 (2)
Host lunch on Thursday March 2 or Friday March 3, 2017
Badges and Registration Desk: $3,000
Dedicated branding and handouts (provided by Sponsor) at registration area.

Host a refreshment break in the afternoon. Sponsor logo displayed on refreshment table.
AM Coffee Break : $750 (1 Left)

Anybody there??
What do you blog about after it's been MONTHS? I have no idea.
A lot has happened during my blog hiatus, but I won't bore you with every detail of every event that has occurred (as I'm usually known to do on the 'ol blog).
I'm a very long-winded person, so there are a million things I want to "say" as I'm returning to the blog, but again- I'll refrain from boring you.
Instead, I think I'm going to just post some pictures- they say more than words anyway, right?
So here you go. A snippet of my life during the past few months. Hopefully after this initial returning-to-the-blog post, it'll be easier for me to get back to the day to day blogging. I hope I'm right!

Is becoming a DJ about your age or can you become a successful DJ when you're already over 30 or over 40 years of age?
When are you too old to think about becoming a DJ? What are the best tips and what steps do you need to take to get there?
These are the questions that I get regularly.Often, these questions come from guys and sometimes girls who dream of DJing and of making people feel good, but are concerned that their age will mean they won't be accepted.
There is always the worry that when you're DJing, your crowd will be full of 18-20 year olds who will judge you on your age, your looks and the tunes you play.
This can happen. In fact, anything in the world can happen. Anywhere. At any time.
Get DJ Gigs!
Download this free guide to help you toget DJ gigs faster.
Rather than you trawling through the net reading articles, this free guide contains all the advice you need in one clear ebook.
I put it together to save some time for you and to get you DJing in parties, bars and clubs faster.
And it's completely free.
Go here to get the free guide on how to get DJ gigs now
DJing Is All About The Music
I've said it before and I'll say it as many times as you like.
DJing is all about the music you play.
Digital DJs voice similar concern about becoming a DJ. They sometimes think (less and less now) that DJing using MP3s and a laptop with a controller will mean that people will judge them.
After all, there are a number of reasons why various people dislike digital DJing.
But who cares about that. Some forms of DJing do look cooler than others, that is the truth.
But time and time again, if you cook up a great set, make people feel blissfully happy and know just how to read the dancefloor then you'll get respect from each and every party animal, clubber or bar drinker in the house.
If you've ever been clubbing and had a great time, you'll know exactly what I'm talking about. Dancing to DJ music that just hits the spot and makes you feel incredibly good is a fantastic natural high.
If you can get people high on the music, then no one cares about your age.
Want some proof?
I know of a couple of successful DJs in Paris. One of these guys is definitely over 50 and the other is over 40. Only one of these guys had any DJing experience at all, ever before starting to DJ out just a few years ago.
Now, you may think their music is crap or you may love it. But regardless of that, these guys play in loads of great clubs in Paris, a major capital city in the world.
They have a following and people who turn up for their gigs. Check out more of their youtube vids and try to catch a glimpse of them. They don't look like male models and they aren't spring chickens either.
Don't tell me you wouldn't love to play at the best clubs in Paris like them!
Their age hasn't stopped them from doing well at DJing and there's no reason that it should stop you either.
Now ask yourself: if they are old and can do it, can you do it?
YES! Of course you can.
Advice for older DJs
You know that some DJs (like DJ Paulie I think his name is) get a great following because they also look great. Their audience is mainly made of young, impressionable teenage girls.
Some hot girl DJs play on their great looks and they are right to do so, because they are gorgeous and make men drool. Girl DJs are sexy.
But we can't all suddenly become sexy and get people following us around.
Most DJs need to work on other aspects of their unique sound and image to get some kind of following and some well paid, higher profile club gigs.
Create your DJ image
If you're a bit older than the average DJ, then you'll need to work on some way to stand out.
A style that fits with the music you play will relate to the people you play to.
Often, older DJs are respected because they have a great back catalogue of tunes. They have arms that reach so deeply into their record box that no young DJ can possibly know what's going on.
This is a massive advantage when it comes to becoming a DJ and getting cool gigs.
Older guys may know their 60s and 70s tunage like the back of their hand for example. They may be an 80s music fanatic or a jazz and blues freak.
Young people love older music as loads of tunes produced nowadays are shouts to music from the past. Music trends come back every twenty years or so, just like fashion does.
So if you can dress like the style of music you play, people will love you more for it, no matter how old you are.
Playing rock and indie? Dress like a rock dude. You are one after all.
Playing acid house from 1988-1989? Look the part and find your acid clothes from early raves in the UK.
The beat goes on…
More tips on how to dress when DJing
Create a Unique DJ Sound
In case you hadn't guessed, the guys in the above video have a very unique DJ sound.
No one copies their sound because they simply don't know enough about it.
But these guys got successful in becoming a DJ fast because they stood out from a crowd of guys trying to play trendy tunes that trendy people liked. Becoming a DJ successfully is about far more than playing the latest cool tunes.
There are far too many guys jumping on the latest bandwagon of trendy music that is the latest fad. When people in clubs suddenly decide that they don't like this style anymore, these guys fade into the dust again.
By creating a unique DJ sound, you'll associate your crowd with you and improve your following.
How do you do it? You concentrate on what you know and push that sound out. You'll have very little competition as most DJs are too busy copying each other and fighting to get the same gigs.
Don't become a DJ who follows others. Your superior knowledge on your music niche is a massive bonus. Use it to your advantage and reach out with what you know and the music that surrounds it.
Take people on a musical adventure and they won't care a bit about how old you are. Becoming a DJ will be a breeze and far easier than you thought at first.
Becoming a DJ and rocking the house is about far more than just your age.

Don't you find it funny when armchair philosophers espouse some idea beginning with, " There are two kinds of people in the world…"
Well, here goes… There are two kinds of people in the world – goals people and vision people. Some very successful people simply do not get into the whole goal-setting thing and for this type of person, the SMART methodology seems unnecessary or alien. There are a couple of problems with this goals-vision dichotomy. First, it can be tough to figure out which group you are in. Sometimes we think we are one way when that is just how we would like to be – how we think the "right" people think. Also, no one person fits wholly into either group. Each of us is a unique blend of goal-oriented and vision-seeking.
With that disclaimer in mind, you might find it useful to try both methods to see which one you get the most mileage out of. For years now, it has been considered good business practice to devote some time and energy to creating both vision (real vision – not just a vision statement) and goals.
Paraphrasing one of the vision gurus from the business re-engineering literature, Peter Senge, a vision is some idea of the future that you absolutely, literally cannot live without. Senge's idea is that if you can create a vivid enough picture of a future that you can't live without, then hold that vision up beside current reality, the tension or dissonance between the two will naturally and subconsciously drive you to do whatever it takes to bring current reality closer to the vision. The difficulty here is in holding the vision constant without allowing cognitive dissonance to erode the ideal.
Visions share some of the characteristics of a SMART goal, but are different in other ways.
- Vision should be specific, or vivid. The more vivid you can make your vision the more you will be drawn toward it. What does the ideal future look/sound/smell/taste/feel like?
- Vision is often more subjective, while goals should be objectively measurable. Visions do not have to be measurable as long as you can subjectively or qualitatively tell the difference between current reality and your vision of the ideal.
- Vision can be farther from current reality than SMART goals and the nature of vision makes more distant realities attainable. Even if you cannot pre-plan a way to progress in a stepwise, orderly fashion toward a distant goal, so long as you can envision it, you can move yourself toward it.
- Vision is usually open-ended instead of time-bound. In fact, you want to set your vision so far beyond your most distant reasonable SMART goals that you will never actually get there.
And that's really the secret to vision – the closer you come to it, the less the cognitive tension driving you to improve. You want to lasso yourself to such a distant ideal that you will always have tension pulling you toward the ideal.
Don't forget the Call for Submissions for Carnival #5. The theme for this month is related to non-violent resolution of conflict.

We have created a unique Super Bowl Word Search Puzzle, where the guests try to find the word "bowl" 3 times. It's harder than you think!
Guess the Score
Have your guests try to correctly guess the total points that will be scored in the game in our Guess the Score party game.
Super Bowl Word Scramble
Have your guests try to unscramble 20 words related to the Super Bowl in our Super Bowl Word Scramble. The first person to unscramble all of the words wins.
Pass the Cup
Pass the cup is an oldie, but goodie! It goes like this, start off by giving the cup to one person who will drop a dollar in the cup and then say a word like "Field Goal" for every single play that is not a field goal the cup gets passed to the next person and that person puts a dollar in. The person holding the cup when the field goal is made gets to keep all of the money that was in the cup. That person puts a dollar back in the cup and comes up with the next word. Examples for words are Touchdown, First Down, Interception, Fumble, Time Out ect..
Super Drink
Before the game starts have each person pick a team. This is their team for the entire game. Each time the opposing team:
Scores a touchdown
Kicks a Field Goal
Gets a First Down
Gets an interception
Recovers a Fumble
Blocks a Field Goal or Punt
Sacks the quarterback
Then each person that chose that team has to take a drink(shot, cup of beer?) You make the rules. You can also come up with your own scenarios, the above scenarios are just examples. Here is a list of some different Super Bowl Drinking Games you can play at your next party.

India's food safety regulator, Food Safety and Standard Authority in India (FSSAI), has set the prescribed limit of iron filings in loose or packaged tea powder at 150 milligrams per kilogram.
FSSAI issued a notification on April 22, 2016, saying that the draft prescribing a limit of not more than 150 mg/kg of iron filings in tea had been approved. FSSAI had invited feedback from various stakeholders by putting up on the official website its proposal of fixing a limit for iron filings in tea.
The regulatory body has directed enforcement officials in all the states and Union Territories to implement the directive till the issuance of the final notification in this regard.
The presence of iron filings in tea is attributed to the tea-manufacturing method, which may result in iron particles being released from machinery into tea grains as the leaves are crushed and processed.
Even as factories use huge magnets to separate iron filings from tea powder, the presence of these particles in packaged or loose tea products has not been ruled out by experts.
The government directive fixing the limit of iron filings in India was caught up in a row, with traders demanding that the iron limit in tea be fixed at 500 mg/kg, the Times of India reported.
However, the government asked the Hyderabad-based National Institution of Nutrition (NIN) to conduct a study on the presence of iron filings in tea.
The NIN recommended the prescribed limit of iron filings at 150 mg/kg, while observing that the presence of zero iron in tea is not possible.
There are currently no regulations that direct tea-makers to mention the iron contamination in tea products on labels.
The iron filings limit in tea in many developed countries has been fixed at 120 mg/kg, though in poorer countries the limit is 500mg/kg.
"Iron in human bodies carries oxygen for haemoglobin. But any overload can be a causative factor in liver cirrhosis, osteoporosis, scurvy, diabetes, heart failure, oesophageal cancer and infections," an internal medicine expert was quoted as saying by the TOI.

Gokata is sometimes characterized as a "more aggressive tori" practice - but just like it is not really "faster," it is also not really an aggressive tori thing. I prefer to think of it as a more proactive tori thing.
In much of our practice, tori stands and waits for uke to come give him the attack energy. Uke moving toward tori is the predominant energy that the techniques make use of. But in much of Gokata, tori is moving at uke while uke is moving at tori. It is a coming-together. Because both partners are in motion, the energy of most of the techniques is doubled.
Instead of aggressive, tori's spirit is proactive. To get myself into this mindset when I start Gokata, I like to tell myself, "Well, if this conflict is inevitable then lets get it over with right now." That helps to put me in the "running toward the sound of the guns" frame of mind, and helps to produce that proactive aikido feel.
Physically, the way that tori demonstrates a proactive spirit, is by taking at least one step forward (toward uke) into each technique instead of waiting or separating. Thus, it is not uke that chooses when the encounter takes place. In Gokata, tori gets to choose when uke breaks ma-ai - which means that tori knows when the encounter will happen and uke doesn't.
So, the combination of uke taking the slack out of the kata (see the previous post), and tori taking a proactive role in the encounters, gives Gokata more energy and a different sort of tempo or rhythm.

The World Confederation for Physical Therapy (WCPT) endorses the Convention on the Rights of the Child and encourages its member organisations to promote its implementation and monitoring.[1]
The Convention sets out the rights in 54 articles and two optional protocols. It spells out the basic human rights that children everywhere have the right:
- to survival
- to develop to the fullest
- to protection from harmful influences, abuse and exploitation
- to participate fully in family, cultural and social life
The four core principles of the Convention are non-discrimination; devotion to the best interests of the child; the right to life, survival and development; and respect for the views of the child. Every right spelled out in the Convention is inherent to the human dignity and harmonious development of every child. The Convention protects children's rights by setting standards in health care; education; and legal, civil and social services.

I love walking around the Devon public footpaths at dusk. The light from the setting sun is always so brilliant. There are some fields on a hill where you can see for miles and the golden glow of the sun covers the land as far as the eye can see. It's a beautiful place to witness the sun making its descent at the end of the day.
Eddy and I went out for a walk the other evening to stretch our legs. As we did, both of us were quite taken aback by the golden rays of light that fell all around us. We clambered all the way up the top of the hill to view the village and surrounding landscape.
Earlier in the day I had been thinking about alternative dates for us that would really allow for spending quality time together without distractions. Whilst I love catching a movie together or going out to dinner, I sometimes find myself just wanting some time alone and the deep countryside offers a stillness and quietness that is so soothing. I always find it easier to clear my head and compose my thoughts coherently this way. It also offers a great oppertunity for me to open up to Eddy and be able to share what's on my mind and in my heart. Good old country walks are such balm for the soul!
The ground was dry and warm as it had been gloriously hot all day so I didn't require my usual wellies for this kind of excursion! Whilst I could have easily pulled on some jeans, a hoodie and wellies, I decided to make a bit more of an effort and wore some floral trousers from H&M which I bought last year. I paired these with a White embellished jumper from Zara and some leather sandals from Marks and Spencer's.
Whilst it was a bit of a 'mumsy' look, I felt comfortably casual. Neither too dressed up nor too shabby for what was, essentially, just a walk with my best friend. I really enjoy mixing old clothes with new. Not only is it fun to play about with the items in my wardrobe, but I think it's important to be practical too! Over the last couple of years I haven't bought that many clothes in reality as I've either been growing a big pregnant belly or trying to get back into my pre- pregnancy skinny jeans! Either way, I haven't wanted to let go of all my older pieces so it has been fun infusing old clothes with some new pieces.
I hope you're all having a fab weekend! I can definitely see another country ramble lined up for us!
Love Bunty

Take a few minutes and consider those things in life that bother you that really shouldn't. We all have our list of these things and here are few for your consideration.
1. People that do not reset the microwave oven timer.
2. That speedy driver that races down the street, passing you, only to have you right next to them at the very next traffic light.
3. People that call and dive into their information delivery without asking if you have time to listen.
4. People that do not refill the paper in the copier.
The list could go on and on.
Let's take a look at a few things in sales that should not bother you and a few things that should:
1. People that do not return phone calls.
It shouldn't really bother you if people do not return your calls. They probably do not return anyones calls. What should bother you is if you don't make enough phone calls.
2. People that don't make time for you.
People are busy and unless they understand the value of devoting some of their time to you, you will not make much progress. What should bother you is if you do not understand the value you represent well enough to encourage others to give you some of their valuable time.
3. Prospects that say no to your proposal.
Most "no's" stem from a lack of understanding so when a prospect says no, they are typically saying, "I don't have enough information." If what you are selling can indeed help the prospect then it is a matter of time before you or your competitor get the order. However if you are getting a no because there really is no need, move on. What should really bother you and keep you up at night is that you are not getting to enough qualified prospects thereby never giving enough people the opportunity to tell you no.
4. People that say your stuff is too expensive.
Many people do not understand the value you offer so you are always, initially, going to be too expensive. It shouldn't bother you when someone makes the broad statement that what you are selling costs too much. What should bother you is if you are not equipped to demonstrate your value. If you cannot factually support your considerable value, then you are overpriced and overpaid. The issue is NEVER price. The issue is ALWAYS value.
5. No one is buying from you.
People do not buy unless they are sold. People either sell themselves or someone does the selling to them. It really should not bother you if people are not buying, but what should shake you to your sales-foundation is not getting in front of enough qualified prospects.
Don't let things bother you that have no bearing on the foundation of your current and growing success.

Every family is unique. Parents need to let their loved ones know what they wish them to do in the event something happens. Unfortunately, many children are too busy, not local or are reluctant to face the realities of their parent's mortality. Other times parents choose not to inform their children until it is too late. Whatever the reason, your personal instructions to family can make for a smoother transition and avoid family arguments upon death.
Personal instructions to your family can include many things. They are not legal documents, but they are notarized letters of instruction about how you would like your loved ones to handle things after you are gone. While they are under no legal obligation to follow these guidelines, the fact that you took the time to put them in writing, have them notarized and include them as part of your overall estate planning efforts... most loved ones will do their best to follow your wishes.
Five Factors To Consider:
1. Burial Instructions: It is always a good idea to share your wishes about which funeral home you want to use, whether you want a wake, cremation versus burial, a funeral breakfast or just a memorial mass. If you have already provided this information verbally to your loved ones, that's great. But to have it written down and letting your family know where the written instructions can be found is even better. This will make it easier for them to administer your wishes, especially during this emotional and traumatic time.
2. Your Favorites: Over the years, many people find a favorite church, pastor (priest or rabbi), bible passages and songs that they would like to have for their final services. If you do not write them down, your loved ones may not be familiar with your preferences and struggle to make arrangements. Your efforts here will allow them to spend more time helping the family and less time worrying about the details.
3. Personal Property Dispositions: Here is where many families end up with trouble. Fighting over a parent's personal possessions has ruined more families over the years than any other estate matter. Who will get Mom's jewelry, the big screen TV, Dad's coin collection or the fine china? Unfortunately, if you do not spell out a fair and equitable system for the distribution of these items, some of your children, possibly influenced by their spouses ("the outlaws"), may feel that they are entitled to them. Others may be resentful and this is where family arguments start.Here is a simple system that anyone can use to avoid this problem.
First: Make a list of any specific items that you would like to go to one child or another. Place a fair value on those items. If your child chooses to accept the item, the fair value is deducted from their share of the estate. Put this list in writing and have it notarized by a disinterested third-party.
Next: Have your family arrange to meet on a weekend and on the first day, inventory the remaining personal property items. With this inventory, have them all agree on a fair value for each item. On the following day, have each of your children, starting with the oldest to youngest select one item at a time that they would like. The next round should go from the youngest to oldest and have them continue this until there is nothing left that anyone cares to claim.
Finally: Hold an estate sale for whatever is left or donate the remaining items to a local charity. They should add any proceeds to the estate figures or provide each child with a donation receipt for income tax purposes. If everyone agrees and participates, no one should have any reason to feel slighted or left out and they may even have some fun as they share memories from years gone by. It will bring them closer together.
4. Personal Desires and Wishes: While children have their own views on most topics, it is always important to remember your roots. By sharing your beliefs, desires and wishes for how you would like your children to carry on after you are gone, it might be nice refresher for them to remember you by. Use this letter to share any final wisdom or advice and try to finish by letting them know that you will always love them. You might be surprised that they will listen more after you are gone than they ever did while you were alive.
5. Personal Notes To Children: Many parents find it hard to express their feelings about certain issues to their children while they are alive. By providing a short personal note to each of your children, grandchildren or other loved ones, it may be easier to write your feelings and clear the air after you are gone. In many cases, these short letters could help your loved ones put their own lives into perspective. Always try to leave them with a caring, positive and lasting memory.
Summary: As with all important financial and estate planning documents, you need to review and keep them current. Your efforts in this section may be the most important to your family and the place where you can provide the most assistance. Spend a little time now to save a lot of problems later or share this with your own parents and encourage them to do the same.

Though there are multiple options open to companies that are producing a mobile app, the differences between them grows smaller the more technology advances. Still now, as in the earlier days of app development, the choice depends as much on the type of app being made as it does on time and budget restrictions. Below is discussed some of the advantages of each different development path for mobile applications.
HTML5 applications are basically html5 mobile web-pages in a "wrapper" that will give it some of the functionality of a native iOS / Android app. These apps can be produced and supported much faster and cheaper than other apps, as all development and changes can be made to all platforms at once. Although now html5 hybrid apps are able to use more of the features of the device (push notifications, camera, Facebook and Twitter integration, etc.), each of these features will require the use of native plug-ins to support these features. Adding too many features means expanding the size of your "wrapper" and entails some native development anyways. Currently, most html5-based apps do not support features such as background processing, though these features may not be necessary for all applications.
Although a short-time ago, the different ways in which mobile browsers interpreted html5 was a legitimate concern, today it receives a much wider support. And with the current mobile-browser engines on increasingly powerful phones and devices, the quality of html5-based apps has significantly improved and can now perform almost identically to native apps.
The Netflix mobile apps (iOS, Android, Windows) are all HTML5-based web apps.
Native apps are often prized for their smooth interfaces and ability to use all the features of the native OS. However, this is often only important if your app is using a lot of graphics and animations (games). This essentially means coding in two (or more) languages from start to finish, often meaning double cost and development times. Updating will also have to go through a similar procedure: creating separate patches for each platform your native apps are on. If however, your app will be restricted to one platform (iOS or Android only) or if the development budget is available, producing native apps are a great way to go.
SnapGuide is a popular DIY app that was developed specifically for the iOS.
Xamarin apps use a different type of cross-platform technology that uses the Microsoft.NET language for development. This framework allows the code to be recompiled in a native format, providing the same performance and user experience as native apps with a fraction of the cost and time of development. Xamarin apps can also run faster than native apps because of the concise and flexible nature of coding in C# and Visual Studio as opposed to Objective-C and/or Java. Though some native coding will still be required, this is significantly less troublesome than adding plug-ins in html5 hybrid apps, and Xamarin apps can easily have all the features and security of a native app.
Xamarin apps are becoming more and more popular, which means increased support and resources for coders. The consensus is that very soon, Xamarin apps will soon outnumber both html5-based apps, and native apps, on all devices.
Rdio is a popular music streaming service whose multi-platform apps (iOS, Android, Windows, BlackBerry) were developed with Xamarin.
