Apple Now Faces More Than 60 Class Actions Over iPhone Slowdowns, Consolidation Likely Next Month
Apple's legal battle against accusations that it intentionally slows down older iPhones to incentivize customers to upgrade to newer models will likely take place in one courtroom near the company's headquarters in California.
The U.S. Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation has disclosed that it will consider consolidating dozens of iPhone performance-related complaints filed against Apple during a hearing scheduled for Thursday, March 29 in Atlanta, Georgia, as is routine for similar cases filed across multiple states.
Apple currently faces 59 putative class actions across 16 district courts in the United States. The total includes 30 before Judge Edward J. Davila in the Northern District of California, where the lawsuits will likely be centralized given their overlapping claims, according to court documents obtained by MacRumors.
Apple faces similar class action lawsuits in at least six other countries, including one filed with the Ontario Superior Court of Justice in Canada on Friday, according to Toronto-based law firm Rochon Genova LLP.
The lawsuits have been mounting since late December, when Apple revealed that it throttles the maximum performance of some older iPhone models with chemically aged batteries when necessary in order to prevent the devices from unexpectedly shutting down. The so-called feature was introduced in iOS 10.2.1.
Apple initially didn't mention the change in its iOS 10.2.1 release notes, and in a statement issued a month later, it still only mentioned vague "improvements" resulting in a significant reduction in unexpected shutdowns.
Apple only revealed exactly what the so-called "improvements" were after Primate Labs founder John Poole visualized that some iPhone 6s and iPhone 7 devices suddenly had lower benchmark scores starting with iOS 10.2.1 and iOS 11.2 respectively, despite operating at maximum performance on previous versions.
Apple apologized for its lack of communication in December, and reduced the price of battery replacements to $29 for iPhone 6 and newer through the end of 2018. Apple will also provide users with more visibility into the health of their iPhone's battery in iOS 11.3, with the feature already available in beta.
Apple also emphatically denied any kind of planned obsolescence:
First and foremost, we have never — and would never — do anything to intentionally shorten the life of any Apple product, or degrade the user experience to drive customer upgrades. Our goal has always been to create products that our customers love, and making iPhones last as long as possible is an important part of that.
Keep in mind that Apple is not permanently or persistently slowing down older iPhones. Even if your iPhone is affected, the performance limitations only happen intermittently, and only when the device is completing demanding tasks.
MacRumors previously answered many frequently asked questions about Apple's power management process, which can be disabled in iOS 11.3, or avoided by replacing your iPhone's battery if necessary. Read our guide on how to get an iPhone's battery replaced at an Apple Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider.

The "fix" was made to avoid having to recall millions of iPhones that were defective.
A phone that crashes because the battery is aging is a defect in design and/or manufacturing.
That was mistake number 1.
Then they tried to cover up the defect by slipping some software that prevented it by reducing performance.
That was mistake 2.
Then they didn't tell anyone about mistake 1 or 2.
That was mistake 3.
No way they are coming out of this unscathed.
I love Apple but I hope these lawsuits take a big bite out of the arrogance they showed to their unwitting customers.
Well, my phone was working just fine before this "feature" was implemented. Now it SUCKS.
"But we'll replace your battery for a discounted rate."
Ok, let's do it.
"Well... not NOW... when the batteries are available."
Alright, so, like, next week sometime?
"Uh... not exactly... we expect about 6-8 weeks."
So Apple essentially makes my phone unusable and then holds it hostage for 2 months before I have to pay to make it work again. THANKS APPLE.

Cover Reveal: Feminine Rising!!!!!
Posted July 30, 2018on:
I'm so excited to share this cover reveal of Feminine Rising! It's a new collection coming out next spring that will feature essays on what being gendered female in this culture has meant to some writers. The editors are Andrea Fekete and Lara Lillibridge. My essay, "The Poison Our Grandmothers and Mothers Drank" is being republished in it which first appeared in the literary journal Trivia: Voices of Feminism. I'm thrilled to be a part of this collection and you'll be hearing more about it over the next few months!
A bit of backstory: During Fall 2010, local writers were invited to visit the Joyful Jewel, a gallery in Pittsboro, North Carolina and see which piece of art inspired them to write. My piece was inspired by Sharon Blessum's photograph "Medicine Women." In the photograph, there are four small iridescent torsos of mannequins with names like Copper Shaman, Shaman of the Heart Chakra, Shaman of the 7th Chakra, and Water Shaman. Some of the torsos have feathers sprouting from the backs of their necks and others showcase big chunky necklaces.
In December, the Joyful Jewel hosted "Visions and Voices" where writers were asked to read what they wrote after their visit and the corresponding artists were asked to display their objects and say a few words about the art-making process.
I first read my piece at the "Visions and Voices" event and then three years later it was published in Trivia. I really love this piece so I continued looking for reprint opportunities. I submitted it to Andrea and Lara in 2016 and it was accepted right away. The editors found a publisher and now this essay will have a new home in spring 2019!
A Letter to My Mom: Honoring Mother's Day and Finding One's Writing Territory
Posted May 1, 2016on:
Around this time last year, I was published in the beautiful book A Letter to My Mom! It is a tribute to the women who shape us into the people we become.
My love letter to my courageous mother is next to letters from Suze Orman, Dr. Phil McGraw, Melissa Rivers, Lisa Ling, Dr. Jennifer Arnold and many other amazing sons and daughters. In this third installment of the A Letter to My series…(following A Letter to My Dog and A Letter to My Cat), over sixty contributors share letters that chronicle the love, gratitude, silliness, fun and even conflict that define mother and child relationships. I am so honored to be part of this collection.
My writing teacher, Marjorie Hudson (author of Accidental Birds of the Carolinas) encourages students to 'find their territory', to explore the kinds of unique themes and challenges that only they can write about.
The relationship with my mother is definitely my territory. In 2013, I started exploring a snippet of my mother's life which involved a great act of courage that changed the course of our lives. Since that time, I have continued thinking about the intersection of my life and hers. I am constantly surveying that rich and fertile ground. My mother is no longer living, so writing about her is one way that I can keep her memory alive.
When I saw the call for 'A Letter to My Mom', I decided to submit my very personal story. The editor and creator of the A Letter to My series, Lisa Erspamer and her team were amazing. They treated my narrative (and I assume all the others), with great care, respect and unabashed enthusiasm.
A Letter to My Mom is so inspiring and the layout of the book is beautiful. Each entry is accompanied by photos. If you're looking for a great gift for Mother's Day, this is it. You and your mom will laugh and cry while reading it.

Affirmations-366 Days#5: My creative self knows the rants of my inner comparer, critic, and evaluator and helps me to show up anyway.
For new readers, here's why I'm committing to writing affirmations during the next 366 days.
Naming and Claiming Your Writing Accomplishments: Do You Have a List? Affirmations-366Days#3
Posted January 3, 2016on:
Affirmations-366Days#3-I celebrate every writing accomplishment, no matter how small.
This affirmation is inspired by a workshop that I attended, where I discovered the power of a making a 'writing accomplishments' list.
I remember anxiety creeping over me in Marjorie Hudson's 'Strategies for the Writing Life' workshop when she cheerfully asked the group to name and claim our writing 'accomplishments' so far. People immediately raised their hands and asked questions like: Do you mean publication credits? How far back can we start our list? Does a personalized rejection letter count? What if I can't think of anything?
She calmly explained that we could count anything and everything that has happened in our writing lives that we believe strengthened or encouraged us. This could include the time our teacher in the third grade chose to read our essay in front of the class to submitting an op-ed to getting a poem published in a literary journal. Our list could include helpful feedback we received from an editor or agent (even if they passed on the book), or reassuring words from a published writer. Most of us undertook the task with a kind of grim determination. And, I felt that I was bound to have a short and uninteresting list.
After about ten minutes, she asked us to read from our lists. The mood in the room softened as people shared. As it turns out until we were asked to reflect on the shape of our writing lives, most of us had either forgotten or discounted many of the positive things that had shown up. Several people did mention publication as an aspect of their accomplishments, but much of it included specific moments of encouragement expressed by peers, teachers and other published writers. Often words of encouragement allowed us to keep going in the face of high self-doubt and flat out fear. We also celebrated the fact that many of us had completed various types of writing projects and with some additional strategic effort, some might eventually find their way into publication. My list included the over 50 journals I have amassed, over my life, that are stuffed with ideas, dream fragments, stories, and chapters of novels. Hearing the lists of the other writers uplifted and inspired me.
Since that workshop in the spring of 2011, I have often gone back to the list in my notebook as well as the longer 'accomplishments' list that I keep on my computer. Some of the writers in that workshop posted their list in their writing space for daily inspiration.
It is easy to forget or minimize the ways in which the writing life is sustained. A list is evidence of one's deep intentions that we can turn toward during moments of skepticism about our progress.
The beginning of the year is a great time to start a writing accomplishments list, if you don't have one. Or, you can review and wrap up your list from 2015. Remember to be generous in thinking about what counts!

A Glimpse of Heaven
"Clinging to the only thing in the past, to make up for the incomplete love"
The story follows the endlessly ongoing connections between a pair of separated lovers who were first loves to each other. Though both of them have found new lovers and been in and out of love through the years, a subtle strand still links them to each other in body and in soul.
They met up throughout the years, they stayed together, they talked, and they slept together… with a taste of heaven…or not?
Is it because of the little love that remains? Or is it because there is still a little bit of jealousy, frustration, guilt, revenge, inferiority complex…between them?

Brandify is a web tool (in beta), that gives a business owner a score/ranking of their on-line business presence. They say they do this in about 70 seconds, and it was pretty close to that for me. I thought I'd relate my experiences using it and give a little mini review.
I got an email from Microsoft (they are a sponsor), telling me of this new, free service. I decided to try it out, not being too excited about Klout (another on-line ranking service of a different sort). I was glad to see I could sign in with my Microsoft Live ID – no having to set up yet another account. Facebook and LinkedIn would have worked too.
Their objectives are listed below (taken from the website):
- Where your business' overall reputation stands online by way of a single, overall score, using a number scale very similar to your FICO credit score.
- The specific categories in which your business' reputation is strong (and where it's not), along with specific insights on your local competition.
- The one or two simple actions you can take immediately to start improving your online reputation.
Registration Screen
The first screen was simple to get filled out – just needed a few pieces of readily-available information.
Brandify Tries to Find and Select Your Social Presence
I thought this next screen was great because it showed the below social media giants and all I had to do was connect to them. There were a few glitches which I'll write about in my summary.
My Initial Brandify Score
I wasn't very happy about seeing the 508 (low on the scale). After looking more closely and checking out the recommendations (over to the left), I found that even though my Facebook page was highlighted on the previous screen, somehow it didn't make it through the last part and indeed, it was not there when I went to look.
This is where I (or the business owner), would take the time to look through the recommendations which cover how to optimize your website, your LinkedIn or Facebook profiles, etc. I'm not on Yelp or Foursquare and really don't care to be, so I'm not going to join. The Bing and Yahoo parts just said I had 2 total hits for my business name. It wasn't clear to me at all what that meant. But let's move on to my higher score…
My Better Brandify Score & How I Got It
I scrolled through the recommendations and realized somehow my Facebook link had dropped off. I didn't get asked about Twitter during the process, so I went back and corrected those two things and my score jumped dramatically. I believe my score is still undeservedly low because of the LinkedIn portion that is not linked to my individual account. But at least I'm in the green – I'll summarize my thoughts below.
Summary of Brandify
- It was definitely easy to use – sign in was painless using a current ID
- Directions were straightforward and the user is walked through the process in a simple manner, complete with graphics and radio buttons to check
- Brandify showed who was linking back to my website – very cool
- The recommendations were concise and each one had a link to find out more about how to make things better
- The only LinkedIn profile I could put in the tool was my company profile. With LinkedIn, you can build a company profile after you've built a profile based just on your name. I have a company profile, but it is not developed well at all, so I had 4 black marks against me in the recommendations because of that. They should allow people to link to their personal LinkedIn profiles. I went back and tried to fix it, but couldn't get it to connect.
- It missed the link to my Facebook account I put in there and I needed to re-enter it.
- Some descriptions (like the Bing & Yahoo parts), weren't clear
- As I recall, the software didn't ask me about Twitter, Yelp or Foursquare when going through the process
Overall, it was useful for me to go through this process and I think it'll get better as time goes on.

Who I am
I'm an urban transportation professional with interests across public transit, cycling, road safety, behaviour change and public policy. I use my dual lenses as an engineer and planner to fulfill these passions.
I am a graduate from MIT's Master of City Planning and Master of Science in Transportation dual-degree program, where I conducted research with Professor Jinhua Zhao's Urban Mobility Lab on the behavioural foundations of transportation. My master's thesis considered how we can reduce single-occupancy vehicle travel through workplace-based incentives such as parking pricing reforms and transit benefits. (Our programs helped MIT reduce its own parking demand by almost ten precent over two years!) Since then, I've become a practicing Shoupista and will talk parking policy to anyone who will listen.
I've been fortunate to gain experience in the public sector working with the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA), in the consulting world with IBI Group, and in the technology sector with Autonomic, a subsidiary of Ford Smart Mobility. My interest for urban planning and transportation grew from my undergraduate degree in Engineering Science from the University of Toronto, where I built transportation and land use models with Professor Eric Miller and learned the value of data-driven decision-making.
Outside of my professional life, I enjoy road cycling, playing with my little nephews, and making music with Hart House Orchestra and at various suburban basement music studios.

I know, I know, how can I be talking about this mystical season of "summer" when we've barely managed a week of sunshine so far this year in London?
Rumour has it things are going to get better though. And come rain or shine everyone loves having fun for free, right? Plus, not all these things involve being outside so if the weather does continue to fail us this summer you can still find plenty to do in London that's both free and fun.
Have I missed out a free London summer activity? Let me know in the comments below.
Best free things to do in London in summer
Vauxhall's Summer Screen
For the past few years, there's been a giant screen in Vauxhall's historic Pleasure Gardens right in the heart of Vauxhall. The park is secluded enough to bring you some fantastic cult classics in peace but close enough to the tube (about 2 minutes away) to make it easy for you to get home.
There are usually a couple of great street food stalls on-site as well as a bar but if you're feeling thrifty then make your own picnic and take it down there with you. Pack a blanket and a couple of jumpers and lay down to watch this year's films which include: 10 Things I Hate About You and Ferris Bueller's Day Off.
The best thing is that it's completely free to watch the film so move over other outdoor cinemas, Vauxhall Summer Screen is where it's at!
Relax in Brockwell Park
As soon as London gets some sun its central parks are heaving with picnics, BBQs and topless men. Instead of sitting on top of another group whilst trying to catch a tan in London, why not head to one of the lesser-known, but more beautiful parks?
Brockwell Park in Herne Hill near Brixton is a huge park with a paddling pool, pond, tennis courts, lido, BMX track and plenty of space to stretch out and relax. Even when the sun comes out it never feels overcrowded and from the top of the park, you get a fantastic view of the London Eye and the Shard.
Visit the Sky Garden
Not enough people realise that one of the best views of London's skyline is free.
Whilst The Shard costs upwards of £20, The Sky Garden is completely free to visit. It's best to be organised and book yourself a slot, ideally in time with sunrise, but if you forget then you can queue up and you'll usually get up to the top after 9-10pm when most people have already left.
If you want to find out more about going to the sky garden see my blog post on the views that made me fall in love with London again.
Do a park run
Keep active this summer by signing up to park run. Park run organise free, weekly, timed 5km runs in parks all over the world and the chances are there's one in a park near you.
Besides being free, the great thing about Parkrun is that anyone can take part. This isn't some race where you feel like you have to be great at running to enter.
I've recently started going to Park runs at Brockwell Park and whilst there are some speedy runners there are also children, dogs, men with buggies and people of all ages and fitness levels.
Plus, nothing feels better than the smugness of having run 5km by 9.30am on a Saturday morning when your friends are still in bed!
Watch a free comedy in Angel
The Angel comedy club not only plays host to some fantastic comedy acts but it's also completely free.
If you've had a tough beginning to your week at work then make sure to head up to Angel comedy club and cheer yourself up. Over summer you're likely to have the chance to see many great comedians warming up for their shows at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival!
Doors open at 8 pm and get there early as the shows are extremely popular!
Party it up at Notting Hill Carnival
Before I moved to London I went to Notting Hill Carnival and was amazed at the costumes, music and food absolutely everywhere in Notting Hill.
There's always a bit of bad press surrounding the carnival and sometimes things do get a bit out of hand but it's still great fun.
If you're not up for partying the night away then visit Notting Hill Carnival during the afternoon when the parades are in full swing and the stalls are serving up jerk chicken by the bucket load.
Speakers' corner
Whatever day of the week it is there's some free entertainment to be had in the north-east corner of Hyde Park. Known as Speakers' Corner, this area of Hyde Park has existed since late Victorian times and welcomes an assembly of people who tend to cover political or religious subjects.
Anyone can turn up and speak, so long as they stay within the laws of free speech and there's usually a debate or three going on as you walk by.
With everything that's already happened this summer in terms of politics alone, I'm sure there's some very interesting speaking going on at the moment!
Do the Parkland Walk
If you've got an urge to escape the city's smog and smoke then head up towards Finsbury Park and walk the Parkland walk.
The Parkland Walk is a 4.5 mile long, green walkway in London. It follows the path of an old railway line that used to run between Finsbury Park and Alexandra Palace, through Stroud Green, Crouch End, Highgate and Muswell Hill. Back in 1990, the walk was declared a nature reserve and it remains the longest nature reserve in London. Where else can you walk for as long without leaving London?
Visit a city farm
On a similar line to the Parkland Walk, visiting one of London's city farms is another way to forget you live in one of the world's busiest places.
Believe it or not, there are many farms in London with one of the most popular being Spitalfields City Farm.
Spitalfields farm is completely free to enter and you can stroll around whilst making friends with the sheep, pigs, hens and other animals on the farm.
Cycle around Hyde Park
If you're clever you don't have to own, or pay for, a bicycle in London in order to go for a bike ride.
Boris Bikes, the free bikes dotted around London, is free for the first half-hour you use them which means you can cycle around a fair bit of Hyde Park and the Serpentine for free. If you want to carry on cycling just dock your bike up at one of the docking stations and take it out again for another half hour! The perfect way to have fun and get fit this summer in London for free!
Get cultural at one of London's many free museums
London has an abundance of free museums and there are some fantastic exhibitions on for free across the city this summer.
Pop into the newly renovated Tate Modern and marvel at the architecture as well as the art, or head to late-night opening at the London History Museum where you can enjoy a glass of wine and the lack of school kids.
Wander London's markets
You're spoilt for choice in London when it comes to markets and, whilst I can't promise you won't be tempted to splash the cash on some of the produce, they are completely free to wander around!
My favourites are Borough Market, Maltby Street Market, Columbia Road Flower Market and New Covent Garden Market in Battersea (you have to get up super early for that one though!).
Skate the streets
If you've still got a pair of roller skates or know a friend who does, strap them on and get ready to skate across London one evening this summer. London Friday Night Skate always meet up by the Achilles Statue in Hyde Park and offer two sessions for those looking for a different way to spend their evening.
The Friday night skate is for those who are pretty confident, whereas the Sunday stroll is for those looking to take things a little easier.
Whichever night you go for you'll have a great time!
Head up to Big Ben
A little known fact first for you… Big Ben isn't the name of the tower we know and love. The tower is actually called the Elizabeth Tower and 'Big Ben' refers to the bell that chimes on the hour.
If you want to get to know Ben a little better then climb up the 334 stairs of the tower and take in the views and the intricate insides of the clock face.
Tours take place at 9 am, 11 am and 2 pm Monday to Friday and are free. The only catch is that you have to be sponsored by an MP. Check out how to do that here.
Walk along South Bank
One of my favourite things to do in London of all time is a walk along London's South Bank on a nice summer evening.
You get the best views of St Paul's, The London Eye, Tower Bridge, The Royal Festival Hall, Tate Modern and the Oxo Tower to name but a few!
Crossing the bridges across the Thames also makes me feel like Bridget Jones – you know the scene!
During summer there's usually a load of street market stalls set up with deliciously tempting food and drink and Udderbelly set up and put on some great shows to make you giggle.
Just one walk along the South Bank and you'll remember why you love London.

"Nothing we did or said affected his stolid disposition."
What is the best definition of stolid?
Stolid (adjective) – exhibiting little emotion; or, not easily aroused or excited
Stolidity (noun) – the state of lacking emotion or lacking the expression of emotion
GRE pro tips:
The GRE word stolid rhymes with solid and their meanings have a few things in common. Consider the phrase "solid as a rock," which refers to something very dense and heavy such that it cannot be moved. Similarly, someone who is stolid is not easily moved by emotion. Stolid people are not the excitable type – they are not easy to fluster or get a rise out of. The term can have a more negative connotation, suggesting an expressionless, even vacant, nature. But it can also be used in a more positive sense to suggest that a stolid person, in their predictability, exudes a calmness and dependability.
To remember this word, think of an immovable and emotionless boulder – it is both solid as a rock and stolid as a rock.
Example sentences:
"No matter how absurd our requests, the butler fulfilled them with same stolid look on his face."
"The so-called Beefeaters who guard the Tower of London are famously stolid; tourists routinely engage in ridiculous antics in an effort to make one of them laugh, or simply smile."
"Even when all around him was in pandemonium, the CEO remained stolid."

Henrik Stenson will look to defend his Open Championship title this weekend, as the 146th Open takes place. The Royal Birkdale Golf Club in Southport England is the course for the four day event. The course is a beautifully landscapped golf shrine which features over 7,100 yards, and is a par 70. The prize pool for the event is $10.3M, and the winner will take home $1.8M. This should be a great golf tournament. Let's take a look at the Top Bets for the 2017 Open Championship:
Dustin Johnson +1000
Can Dustin Johnson bounce back after having a pretty poor June. While he has been in the Top 10 6 out of his 12 events this season, he has missed the cut in his last two events. Remember, Johnson did not play in the Masters, and missed the cut at the US Open. Johnson will need to regroup if he wants a shot here.
Jordan Spieth +1100
Spieth ranks 4th on the PGA Moneylist. The last time we saw Spieth play was the epic chip in to win the Travelers Championship. Before that, Spieth finished 35th at the US Open. Many wonder if Spieth has what it takes to take down the tough course at Birkdale. Spieth is listed at +1100 to win the 2017 Open Championship.
Jon Rahm +1600
The 22 year old from Spain is the talk of the "next guy" to win a major title. Rahm is from Spain, and played his college golf at Arizona State. Rahm is coming off back to back missed cuts at the Memorial and the US Open. Rahm wants to remember his 2nd place finish at the Dean + DeLuca and 4th at the Wells Fargo. Rahm will need to be much improved, much like Dustin Johnson to have a chance.
Henrik Stenson +2000
The defending Open Championship winner has been pretty quiet this season. Stenson is 85th on the PGA Money List. He has only played in 9 events this season, and finished in the Top 10 twice. Stenson is coming off the US Open, where he missed the cut. In fact, he missed the cut at the Masters, and has missed four out of his last five events. Stenson is listed at +2000.
Brooks Koepka +2800
The 27 year old from Palm Beach Florida is 6th on the PGA Moneylist. Much of his 2017 money came from taking down the US Open with a -16. Koepka has made the cut in 12 of 17 events this season. Koepka is listed at +2800 to win his second major this season.
Louis Oosthuizen +4000
The 34 year old from South Africa is listed at +4000. He is 32nd on the PGA Money List, and has spent much of his golfing time on the European Tour. Oosthuizen has finished in the Top 10 twice in 12 events this season. His last time out was 23rd at the US Open. Before that, he finished 2nd at the Players Championship and 18th at the Byron Nelson.
There is a look at our Top Bets for the 2017 Open Championship. When we wrap up, we want to go with Louis Oosthuizen to win the event. Many times, an underdog wins the Open Championship. At +4000 odds, Oosthuizen is a great value bet. Let's take our chances and win some big money! Best of luck with all your PGA Betting. We hope you enjoy the action!

seems they've become the walking heads.
and may have found me.
asking me to step up
to become their new organizer
as i am
one of the 'top members' of the group
though i never joined
only looked upon it in horror.
i may have to move.
Hi Beth Kennedy,
Ferris stepped down from organizing Learn and practice Ventriloquism and puppet skills.
You are one of the top members of this Meetup, so I think you have what it takes to be a great organizer. Stepping up would help ensure that this community continues to survive past Thu Sep 6.
You can step up as organizer here: _________________

(*This offer recently popped up on my local Meetup Group feed, inviting me to join. It would be one of my worst nightmares. Hopefully, the puppets don't know where I live.)
'This group is for anyone who wants to learn to do ventriloquism. After buying a puppet and learning to do ventriloquism, I decided to form this group.We will go through all the basics. I have a guide that will help us and we will follow the lessons. I will only use the skills from the best ventriloquists in the country. This group is something that I have wanted to get together for a long time. This group is open to the public. '
"here's something you never hear:
now that i've worked through all my emotional issues,
i'm free to dedicate my life to ventriloquism!"

I have found the world's best tee. I'm elated because (1) I wear tees a lot and (2) a perfect one is really, really hard to come by. And this Helmut by Helmut Lang drop back tee is fan-freaking-tastic. I'm wearing it with pants, jeans, shorts, and skirts (see that look later this week). I can't get enough of the shape and feel.
helmut lang drop back tee c/o the dreslyn, allsaints shine coated skinny jeans,
mm6 maison martin margiela white crossover bag c/o the dreslyn, miu miu heels (similar),
lizzie fortunate necklace (love this similar one), christina jervey bangles & cuff c/o,
loren hope crystal bangle c/o tuckernuck, lips are urban decay crush (my fave ever)
On this night I wore it with my AllSaint Shine Coated Skinny Brodie Jeans. I love them a whole lot, too. Perfectly dressy and edgy and easy all in one.
Even if you're not a bag kinda gal you probably noticed my MM6 Maison Martin Margiela Crossover Bag. I've talked about this bag before but this was the first time I had ever seen it in this amazing white/grey leather. I knew I had to have it. I love it so much that I can only dream about the patent leather black one, too.
You know that feeling you get when you find a new to you site that has so many of your favorite brands that it just feels like they get you? That's how I felt when I discovered The Dreslyn. Heart palpitations and all. I quickly added them to my mega list of favorite shops and now click over to them regularly. I highly suggest you go check them out!

Shuswap Hospital Foundation 2013/2014 Annual Report by President Joe Johnson presented to AGM, September 10, 2014
2013/2014 has been a time of transition for the Shuswap Hospital Foundation. Eugene Casavant retired, as did Duncan Myers. Both of these individuals were the driving force behind the Foundation and were key to the success of the Foundation.
Fiona Harris has just completed her first Year as Director of Development and has had to fill the shoes of both of these talented people. Fiona has done an admirable job of moving us forward and taking on the challenge of running the Foundation.
Diana Walker, Office Manager, has continued to provide excellent support for our organization and has dealt well with all of the transition.
I would like you to join me in thanking the Shuswap Hospital Foundation staff for their dedication and hard work.
We have a hard working Board that make up the committees and volunteer their time to provide guidance and direction for the Foundation. I would like to thank the Board members for their support of the Foundation and myself during my term as President.
In the course of the past year, the Foundation has facilitated the upgrade of the CT scanner, the purchase of the Infant Isolette Unit and many other smaller equipment purchases. The Foundation has helped fund equipment for both the Sorrento Nurse Practitioners Centre and the Shuswap Hospice Society. All in all, the Shuswap Hospital Foundation has helped purchase over $400,000 worth of equipment in the past year, to help provide quality health care for residents of the area.
None of the work of the Shuswap Hospital Foundation would be possible without our amazingly generous supporters, which continually amaze me with their willingness to dig deep into their pockets throughout the year. The Foundation thanks you for your help.
We have several retiring Board members this year; long serving Addie Williams, Addie has been a supporter of the Foundation… forever, always willing to help out and keen to be involved. Adele Ainsworth has been the Hospital Auxiliary representative since I have been on the Board and has worked tirelessly to build an excellent working relationship between the Auxiliary and the Foundation, and Kathryn Vennard who has been instrumental in getting the Care to Share Program off the ground, which is a corporate giving initiative. Thank you to the three of you for giving of your time and efforts to make the Foundation successful.
I am completing my term as President and many people helped and supported me along the way. Thank you to each and every one of you that stepped up to the plate when asked.
Your incoming President is Doug Murray, he will do a great job! In closing, I again want to thank the Shuswap Community for their support of the Hospital Foundation. You really do make a difference to the level of health care in our area.
Respectfully Submitted,
Joe Johnson – President, Shuswap Hospital Foundation

The cheap and the good web hosting is the first thing that bloggers and business owners look for, when they start their online businesses. But, when it comes to monthly payment web hosting service, they find it hard to get. However, there are a few companies that offer a month to month payment plans to their customers.
I'll share them in this post and I hope that everyone can find the best choice between them. The good thing is that they are all big brands and companies with millions of hosted domains. That's a good signal for all of us, and you can host your new blog or site with affordable and easy hosting.
7 best monthly billing web hosts
This is not a long list of services, because the majority of them are building their business, based on the annual plan payment system. So, make sure to use the one that suits your needs, and that works with your budget limits.
I recommend them for their quality and prices at the same time, and of course, you can pay your hosting every month and not annually.
1. HostGator ($8.76 per month)
This a pay per month web hosting company that offers speed and high-quality shared and VPS hosting at cheap prices. They offer generous SSD storage and unmetered bandwidth. In addition, you don' need complicated tools as you get the best cPanel control panel. It comes with drag and drop website builder tool, file manager, FTP, email forwarding etc…
The one-month hosting billing will cost you $8.76, and that's a discounted price compared to the regular plan cost.
For extra services, you can add the options you like. So, that gives flexibility for people who don't need the add-on to uncheck them during the signup. All the payments are a month to month, and you can add, or remove services, as you need easily.
This is one of the best web hosting providers with monthly payments, and for all kind of websites including blogs stores etc…
When these hosting companies let you pay per month, that's a good signal that they have good services, and customers will stay with them for a long time.
Other companies force people to pay annually because they know that no one will stay more than a one month. It's a bad strategy, that many companies are using. But, not all of the annual payment options are that way.
2. InMotion Hosting
This fast SSD web host works well for me, and it's that kind of web hosting that you can use and forget issues. There is a friendly customer support with a US-based department, phone support, and live chat. That way, there are more options to contact a web hosting expert that can solve any problem and advice you.
Not all the web hosting plans come with monthly billing, however, their "Pro" plan comes with that payment cycle. So, make sure you hover over that third business hosting plan then, you'll get three options including the one-month payment.
This is the only exception in this list of web hosts with no setup fees. InMotion has a good plan, but there is an activation fee.
The monthly payment WordPress hosting comes with the automatic installation of the software, and it saves you a lot of money for longe term billing cycles.
3. InterServer ($5 per month)
With this easy monthly web hosting provider, you can host your site at cheap prices and with quality services. The uptime guarantee is 99.9% and that's what makes websites available. Also, they have SSD servers with a secure infrastructure, with US-based customer support, and that's helpful for professional hosting.
The company offers unlimited hosting, such as unlimited domains to host, unlimited email accounts, databases, and much more.
The company offer:
- cPanel
- SSD servers
- Website builder tool
- Auto installer application
- The latest processors
- Enterprise hardware
- Daily backups
- Support 24/7 by phone, chat or tickets
Unlike many other hosting services, InterServer lets you pay using PayPal and credit cards, that's a flexible payment system for all.
4. CloudWays
This is another web hosting that you can pay monthly, it cost $10 and you get fast site loading time. In addition, this hosting provided good service in partnership with Google Cloud, Amazon, and other big companies.
For many beginners, they wonder whether or not a monthly billing cycle is better than the yearly web hosting. However, many of them try this web hosting and find it a good solution that saves money and offers enough server resources. So, giving it a try will be a good thing if you want to have a cloud hosting with 100% uptime guaranteed.
The monthly hosting plans come with backup, high level of server protection and of course SSL certificate.
5. GoDaddy
As we all know, this is one of the largest month to month web hosting providers. They're known especially, for the shared hosting plans.
Please note, in the past, their first shared plan doesn't have the month to month payment options. But, the second plan which is called "DELUXE" has that option. Now, they have a monthly payment option for all their hosting plans; Just click on the plan you prefer, then, in the checkout page, you'll be able to switch the billing cycles.
This is not the cheapest month to month web hosting company in my own test and experience. Their speed is not as good as they talk about, and I only recommend it if you have a small blog or website with few visits per day.
Their customer support is achieved by phone, live chat or tickets. You can get instant support if you need help for any reason. This a medium quality web hosting provider, and people can pay monthly services at cheap prices.
The activation is instant without fees and they offer the latest cPanel versions, to manage your site like a pro. The auto installer software lets you install WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, and other open source application.
It's the cheapest monthly web hosting, but, they don't offer a free backup. So, you need to install a plugin to have a daily backup of your site.
6. Liquid Web
You can't find a better professional web hosting like this one. It's a first-class infrastructure with super fast SSD servers and award winner customer support team. The company offers all the web hosting solutions without exception.
They have amazing quality services concluding.
- SSD web hosting
- Linux and Windows hosting
- Storm SSD VPS
- Most powerful Dedicated servers in the world with up to 504 GB of RAM
- Semi-dedicated machines
- Cloud web hosting
- Email hosting
- CDN, and more service that needs a full page to list them all.
This is one of the few, pay by month web hosting providers that have a real 100% Uptime guarantee. That's because of the powerful cloud infrastructure on their fully owned data centers in the U.S. You can choose to pay per month, or per day depending on your needs and resources.
If you need to move your existing website or blog, you will get a free site transfer service with your account. That's a good gift, especially for beginners, and people without experience in managing sites and moving files between hosting servers.
Here are a few features about this registered and trusted web hosting company.
- Host unlimited websites
- Optimized SSD disk space
- Free SSL certificate
- Lots of GB of monthly bandwidth
- Free website migration
- The best U.S based customer support in the industry
- Support by phone, live chat, tickets, and emails
- Fully owned data centers
- Premium quality nightly backups on bonus SSD drives
- cPanel control panel available
- Free setup
- One click installs software
- Host any kind of website or application, including, WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, and all the others.
I highly recommend this trusted web hosting that not only lets you pay for monthly services but also, it takes your website security and speed to the next level.
7. WP Engine
This is not a shared month to month hosting as other companies, but, a fully managed and premium hosting for WordPress sites, exclusively. They are the fastest hosting with top performances, and they have the most advanced infrastructure and technologies.
Of course, they have a price for premium services, but, they offer a monthly payment option for all their plans, and that's good to let people try them, and to see how the service is working. At the same time, they offer two months trial with a money back guarantee.
I recommend WP Engine for everyone who owns a WordPress website and looks for speed and fully managed hosting. You just have to focus on your site's content, and forget the web hosting matters completely. Technicians will do the settings and management for you, and even, they will upgrade your theme, plugins, and work for your site speed.
Advantages of short-term hosting
Sometimes, the features of the web hosting plan do not attract webmaster, simply because the company does not offer a monthly payment web hosting plan. So, no matter what exclusive service the web hot provides, the blogger or website owner will look for a short-term web hosting plan that suits his budget. However, there are no real differences between the one-month web hosting plan, and the one-year billing cycle you see with popular web hist, except the cost.
So, when you choose a monthly payment hosting plan, you'll save money in the short term, and that's great, however, in the long term, the cost will be higher than normal.
On the other side, for those who want to start a website, a blog or online store for the first time, then, choosing a web hosting plan per month will be better. In fact, they can try the hosting service, and if it doesn't offer what the user expects, he can move to another good web host without thinking about cancellation fees etc…
Best web host for WordPress
WordPress is a CMS and the preferred blogging software for millions of people around the world. So, the software has a lot of features that blogger look for, and personally, I recommend it for all users. But the real issue with WordPress is its nature with MySQL, PHP, and the millions of calculations, operations that slow down the page loading time, especially if you have a large size of the website.
So, the dynamic website feature that WordPress offers come with negative points including the performance loading time, and more.
Now, to make WordPress work better, faster, and security, it needs an optimized web hosting infrastructure. The good news is that you don't have to search for lots of options, because you have the best monthly paid WordPress hosting company called WP Engine.
That reliable monthly web hosting provider offers the speed,d the reliability and the security that every WordPress site needs. In my personal experience, I found WP Engine the best optimized WordPress hosting that you can use and pay per month.
Best hosting for eCommerce sites
Unlike the regular web hosting, eCommerce site hosting needs extra levels of security, optimization and more tools. That's what every online store owner should look for the secure website transactions, and make it works the best way. Additionally, the bandwidth usage and disk space limitations should not be problems, and there is no way to have a secure website without SSL of course.
The best web host I recommend for an eCommerce website is Liquid Web. It's the most secure monthly billed web hosting service for professional websites. There is no need to think about tools, and ways to speed up the site, everything works in total security and at the highest levels of server performance.
In addition, the optimize eCommerce hosting, LiquidWeb offer the best WooCommerce hosting with monthly billing cycles. It's the next level of the eCommerce hosting on WordPress using the right optimizations configurations. So, it's a one of its kind WordPress VPS hosting that comes with premium SSL, high quality of servers and the latest software updates and options.
These are the best companies that offer monthly web hosting plans. You can sign up for any service that you want. They are all verified and trusted, and, you can host with them in total security. However, I classified them based on the nature of your website type.
So, the first one will be the best for general sites, and no other company can beat InMotion for that. On the other hand for managed web hosting, the best option is Liquid Web in terms of speed, features, level of management, customer support, and everything else that every website owner needs.

Endothelial health supplements are aimed improving the condition and function of endothelial layer which forms inner lining of blood vessels. This layer could also be found within lymphatic vessel. It connects blood flowing within the vessels and the lymph in lumen with the other parts in walls of blood vessel. There are essentially two types of endothelial cells. Lymphatic types of cells connect with the lymph whereas vascular cells connect with blood flowing within vessels. Some of their important functions include
- They provide path for white blood cells along the direction of flow of blood. They act as protective wall between lumen of the blood vessel and tissues which surround it.
- They control speed of blood flow and pressure.
- They regenerate damaged organs by directing cells in blood vessel towards affected region.
- They are responsible for creation of new blood vessels.
- They are responsible for prevention of blood loss during injury. They also take care of controlling the size of blood clots, preventing them from blocking normal blood flow within vessels.
Importance of endothelium cells could be understood with reference to their main functions. They help protecting overall health of blood vessels. Hence protection of these cells is vital for your health. This could be achieved by consuming regular dosages of vitamin c serum as prescribed by your physician.

Effective utilization of vitamin c serum for endothelial health program
Most of cardiovascular functions associated with lungs, heart, carotid artery, subclavian vein, vena cava, aortic artery and femoral artery are controlled by proper functioning of these cells. Any malfunctioning of these cells could result in massive disturbances of organs in cardiovascular system. Some of most commonly occurring malfunctions could be
- Process of oxidative mechanism of vasodilation related to endothelium cells. Main contributors for this type of problem are said to be fat and cholesterol. This induces typical stress on the blood vessels leading to heart, resulting in increased probabilities of heart failure. One way in which this process could be stopped is through vitamin c serum. Regular intake in form of IV injections eliminates oxidative stress. Hence patients with coronary heart disease could get plenty of benefits from vitamin c serum.
- Vasodilation is one effective process by which blood flow speed is increased by dilation of vessels. This is helpful for patients who have issues of vessel thickening and blood clotting. People with hypertension also benefit from this unique process. One of best agents which could cause this process to happen under controlled conditions is vitamin c serum.
- Endothelium cells are responsible for providing real time responses to inflammation signals from all over blood stream network. This is one of critical features of immune system. Vitamin c serum helps in up-keeping of endothelium cell alertness.
- Endothelium cells produce Vasco active substances like endothelin1, Angi-Tensin11 and others. They are responsible for controlling the diameter of blood vessels. Normal diameter of blood vessels in the capillaries is about 0.8 micrometers. Maximum diameter of vessels could be observed in aorta where it measures about 25 mm. When fat, cholesterol and other harmful substances start clotting blood vessels, their diameter starts decreasing. Vitamin c serum is responsible for clearing out all these clogging elements as effective antioxidant. Hence patients with high blood pressure and hypertension problems find this serum highly useful for survival.
- Thromboregualation is one process by which primary clot in blood vessel is controlled after its formation due to vessel or cell injury. This process prevents loss of blood from injuries. Once the cell or tissue gets injured, it releases elements like Prostacyclin, endothelins, prostacyclin etc. Now endothelium cells get transformed into gummy form and start sticking with each other. This process prevents further flow of blood. It is commonly known as blood clotting. When the health of endothelium cells gets affected, it might hinder the process of clot formation, leading to excess blood loss. Vitamin c serum helps in maintaining health conditions and sticky properties of endothelium cells in their optimal levels.
Effective processes for guarding endothelial cell health
Endothelial cell health determines cardiovascular health. Fluctuations could lead to high blood pressure, molecule adhesion, heart and lung disorder etc. In order to keep its health in functional condition, endothelium needs supplies of DHA, lipoproteins, essential oils, HDL and LDL. One of main issues concerned with these elements is oxidation.
- Process of oxidation makes cell walls brittle. Flexibility of veins gets reduced drastically. Pressure pulses go beyond control, leading to probable cracks in veins. Tissues get scarred followed by many other cardiovascular and heart complications.
- Vitamin c serum acts as active antioxidant. When serum is taken into veins in form of IV injection, it starts preventing oxidation process within endothelium cell walls. Combinational medication with vitamin c serum and omega-3 fatty-acids benefits serum lipids. Cardiovascular health will be considerably improved with constant usage of vitamin c serum in prescribed dosage for prescribed duration of time.
- Vitamin c serum helps in maintaining vascular tone. This is maximum level of vessel contraction in relation with its highest state of dilation. When dilation state of blood vessels is in good condition, chances of hypertension, high blood pressure and other blood vessel related issues are kept under control. Regular intake of vitamin c serum helps in maintaining vascular tone within standard limits.
Usage of Vitamin c serum versions as supplements for endothelial health
Every form of vitamin c serum could be used to enhance health of endothelium. When your health is in normal conditions, consumption of vitamin c serum is said to be helpful in managing all your cardiovascular organ activities in efficient manner. When health and functionalities of these organs get affected, vitamin c serum fixes them by interacting with endothelium and passing its ingredients to affected regions. It is also known to repair and regenerate damaged endothelium cells.
Endothelial health foods form important part of balancing cardiovascular health. Hence you need to consult your physician and enquire about best endothelial health diet that matches with your physiological conditions. This will ensure balanced endothelial health over long period of time without facing any hassles.

I'm off today and starting early to sort and pile because...paint is coming sometime. The trash surrounding our house is becoming an eyesore and I'm surprised the city hasn't had complaints from the golf course. When all is said and done, it will be clean and new and stay that way. Ryan will make the yard look good this spring and summer and I've got a little cash for some wheat straw so there you go. Instant food. Since we've had no horse for two years after he FROZE to death out behind the barn, there's not much poop around for fertilizer. I guess I'll have to make some compost tea like Lorna does. Pride is buried right where he died, by the way. Nobody but Becca ever paid much attention to him but during that last year or two he was smooth pampered. She would get her mom or grandmother to drive her out with grooming supplies and treats and have a little fun with him. All I ever did was chase him back in the gate! No..really. We bonded.
Once upon a time in a land far away ( called the Azore Islands ) Billie Godwin Stafford secured a leave to come home and propose to his love Janice Ann Reaves. Following his discharge from the Air Force they were married at the Methodist church on the corner of Main and McGaughey by the Reverand Bagby, I believe. The dress hangs in my closet minus the honeymoon suit. I'm glad they are together in a happy place where their faith and love of God has landed them. I miss them terribly at times and at others not so much because our quality of time spent together over the past few years has been "complicated."
The reception was at her parents house on College hill and I have vintage black and white prints of the affair. This is the very same house she spent her high school years in and entertained friends on the porch. From what I hear it was the place to be. There were cars, but a lot more walking than now because you could get everything you needed in the neighborhood. Pawpaw owned the 555 service station on the corner across from the church. The Silver Castle cafe and Roberts' Chevrolet were next door. There was a hardware store on the square and lots of shops. Now it's mostly lawyers and accountants.
I'm working slowly through the grief in my own time and own way which is what it is. The thing I remember most about their anniversary is that they always gave each other presents or at least a card. I can't tell you how many times I took him to Walgreens for chocolate truffles. The world in which they now live consists of nothing but that kind of love and more. LilyCat is behind my butt in the chair because she just CAN be and I'm in her seat. BG went for supplies this morning and brought me some roses and candy. Gawd, I love that kid.
Love ~

Be prepared, and look to Norway! The revolution might finally happen!
Maja Solveig Kjelstrup Ratkje and the boys of POING, Frode Haltli, Rolf-Erik Nystrøm and Håkon Thelin, are all on the people´s side, releasing a flaming red album and doing concerts around the 1st of May.
On the album "Wach Auf!" (Øra 2011) we will hear improvisations and radical arrangements of revolutionary songs like "Solidaritätslied" and "Kanonensang", and the uproar will follow this route: Trondheim (28/4), Inderøy (29/4), Oslo (30/4) and Bergen will fall into the hands of the revolutionaries on the very 1st of May!
Ask yourselves if you are on the right side, now!
