Why I Didn't Show Up to Work Friday (Plus My Idea Worth Spreading)
by rc
As a creative writer, my habit is to scope out inspiration by attending storytelling workshops and writing courses, picking up a good book, or visiting an art museum. Just a couple weeks ago, I took a Meditation and Writing class at StoryStudio Chicago, which taught me about the connection between good writing and a clear mind.
But it wasn't until I attended the 2015 TEDxNaperville conference that I realized I haven't been looking for inspiration in enough different places.
Imagine the lessons you could learn by being in the same room as a physicist who may have a solution to an ecological disaster, a 15-year-old young woman determined to stop cyberbullying at the source, and a man who first jumped out of an airplane at the age of four.
TEDxNaperville was an all-day event with 11 fascinating speakers who are significantly shaping the world we live in.
New Environment. New People. New Ideas.
These speakers came from all sorts of backgrounds, including criminal justice, biology, and psychology — none related directly to my career. But it didn't matter; new ideas evolve in the most unpredictable places.
It was a great opportunity to learn from those who are extremely different from me. Each talk had something I could take home and apply in my own life.
Here are three out of the 11 stories I heard during TEDxNaperville and what I learned from them:
Story 1
Jeff Wallace is a man who was sentenced to jail when he was a juvenile. Now, he is working towards a PhD and making huge strides in our juvenile justice system by reevaluating how we work with young men and women to help get them back on the right track.
What this talk taught me …
Sometimes, the wrong path can also lead us towards a bright future, and it is always possible to change things around for the better.
Story 2
Ice skater and Olympic Champion Meryl Davis's journey towards success wasn't easy. Her severe dyslexia felt like a burden, but she found the courage to chase her dream anyway.
What this talk taught me …
No matter what, there will always be setbacks; it's how we deal with them that impacts our future.
Story 3
Jack Gilbert, Associate Professor in the Department of Ecology and Evaluation, shared how we may be killing too much good bacteria when obsessively killing the bad.
What this talk taught me …
Always reevaluate what we think we already know. Every day, there is a new finding, new evidence, and a gap between knowledge and facts. And it's okay to question things. That's what keeps our world interesting.
Just for Fun, Here's my "Idea Worth Spreading"
Want to spark some inspiration in your employees? Take two completely different people, with unique sets of skills, who tend to think very differently, and have them work on a project together. It can even be more than two employees, maybe three, maybe even ten. Just pretend it's like the MTV reality show, Real World, and throw insanely different types of people in a room and watch what happens. You may be shocked by what they come up with.
My Challenge to You:
Haven't fallen into the TED Talks craze? You're in for a treat. Simply visit YouTube.com and search [TED Talks – {topic of choice}]. You will come across dozens and dozens of inspirational talks from people from different industries and backgrounds. The TED Talks rightly given tagline, "Ideas Worth Spreading," is on point. All of these talks are worth sharing with your personal network. And yes! This is the event that forced me to shut down my work computer (and even turn my phone off during the talks). One of the many perks of working at Red Caffeine is our dedication to making time for events like these. Our company values education, learning, and new experiences. It's our secret to keeping our team productive, creative, and smart.

Have you ever had one of those days where everything just seems to be coming your way? Well, that was Tuesday, April 1 for me.
From the time I got up, until the time I wrote this review, it was just, "my day."
All day I kept thinking to myself, "this has got to be some sort of joke", but it wasn't! After cutting through all the bureaucratic red tape, making a doctor's appointment for the next day, dealing with cheques, Visa, and medical needs, all of which going in my favour, I finally got a chance to slow down and reflect upon this great day, and enjoy a good pipe.
So, I thought to myself, "on such a lucky day, I really should smoke an auspicious pipe."
Well, which of my pipes is the most fortunate?
I have a few pipes that were given to me, but they are hardly lucky.
Then I considered my WDC Milano Bent Dublin. When I got this pipe, from Keith Keller at Mason Pipes, it was because he sent me the wrong pipe. Well, it turns out that I liked this pipe more than I liked the pipe that he was supposed to send me. Though the pipe was of a similar quality than one that I ordered, and of a similar shape, they were of different makes and colours. He did offer to make good on the deal, and send me the other pipe, but I liked this one better!
That is my most fortuitous pipe.
So, I find myself sitting on my porch, with my WDC bent Dublin and a bowl of Peter Stokkebye Luxury Bullseye Flake ruminating on my good fortune, and trying not to jinx it.
Surprisingly, for a non-cased tobacco the bag note is really quite pleasant and fruity, and though easily smoked folded and stuffed, I find the tobacco smokes better when rubbed out, hence my pipe is loaded with a couple of rubbed out flakes.
The bowl of my bent Dublin is on the smaller side, so two curly cut flakes fill the chamber to capacity.
Slowly, I cock my lighter…
Wait!? Loaded!? Chamber!? Cock!?… I'm starting to sound like an American!!
Just kidding, my southern brothers (and sisters) of the briar, who at least have weather conducive to smoking outside, and whose dictatorial government has not yet used the "Sydney" model to ban public smoking.
I understand totally!
You need your guns. How else will you protect yourself from the government?
Still kidding!
Anyway, thinking amusedly on the good happenstances I light up my pipe and begin puffing away, chuckling to myself, contented.
Well, I am smoking outside, but I've been told the room note is light, floral, and woodsy.
The taste is magnificent, just magnificent! It could just be that I'm having a great day, but this is honestly the best Va-Per that I've ever tried, and I think it's finished nicely with the black Cavendish center.
Chuffing away in the cool air of a Canadian Spring night, the pipe began to gurgle near the bottom of the bowl, but that did very little to counter my great mood.
The tobacco left little in the way of dottle, and burned to a clean ash, and even a small bowl left me a little buzzed. Maybe I was a little buzzed anyway.
All that having been said, this is a great tobacco! Smooth, but with a peppery bouquet. Light and fruity, but full-bodied and satisfying. I love it, my wife loves it, my husband loves it, and my roommate loves the smell of both the bag note and the room note (he doesn't smoke)!
It will definitely be part of my rotation, and I'll probably get some more on my next order from smokingpipes.com, HERE, for $2.18 to $3.65 USD depending on quantity ordered.
Definitely can't go wrong with this one!
Smoke 'em if you got 'em!

I love this book. I mean I LOVE this book. This one was easy. This one was just a smile to pull off. The idea came to me when I was riding in the car on the way home from my grandmother's house on a windy April afternoon. The clouds scudded across that new blue spring sky, and the wind lifted the hair from my forehead, making me remember the days that I ran free as a child, my feet tender-bare for maybe the first time that year, with a kite riding the waves of turbulence above (and how come, looking back at things, it seems there were so FEW of those days?). There is a POWER to flying kites. The string thrums in your fist, the wind pulls it surprisingly strong, and when you're a kid, you don't realize what a FORCE the wind is, how it can rip off roofs and sail people catastrophically through the air. You just can't SEE it, that's the thing. It is invisible, powerful, and there. I remember one childhood kite, a shaped like a butterfly, with long tails depending from each wind. That thing climbed so high it was a dot with tiny ribbon thread tails, nothing but a string heading up up and away, into the air, disappearing into the distance and glare.
When I reached Junior High age, I would build my own kites, sometimes well, sometimes disastrously. I have my own kids do this now, for fun, and for part of their homeschool curriculum. I think I enjoy it more than they. I don't have to be coaxed away from the laptop to do it, at any rate.
I remember Charles Shultz's Charlie Brown and his kite-eating tree.
I remember, vaguely, some sort of inflatable kite my dad purchased for a family picnic when I was small-small, before my parents divorced. It was orange, and my memory has painted it as some sort of weird flotation device for the pool tethered to kite string, although I know that REALLY wasn't how it was. There was a kite-eating tree at that picnic as well, a harbinger of things to come for my family perhaps.
And so I wrote this book. Because of all that. And because I'm a bit like Sylvia. She just believes in problem-solving.
She works it out for herself, trial-and-error, and she knows no fear. Now, that last part, about fear, ISN'T like me, not at all. I think that all the stuff we're afraid of as kids–vampires, ghosts, monstahs–they all make much more rational sense than the crap we get scared of as adults. Mortgages, death, money, marriage, divorce, and all those other millions of miles of crap that is strewn across the roads of our lives really isn't what we should be afraid of. We should be afraid when we DON'T see the ghosts anymore, when the vampires disappear, when money takes over and do-or-die is all wrapped up in the divorce decree. Sylvia knows she can fly, just because she KNOWS. The perfect surety of a child. She can build it, she can make it happen. Somehow, someway. I wrote this because I WANT to be Sylvia. And I want to feel that magic and that wonder of the kite string humming in my hand, pulling me to places unknown.
Watch the lil' music video of the book here.
The music on the video was created by two mutual friends who have formed the band BETWIXT, to create amazing music for kids, that, incidentally, is very catchy for adults as well. They are awesome. They are in my book, Buck's Rodeo. They will have their own picture book soon, as well.
Tracy Lovett is a wife, mother, author/illustrator and photographer living in Southwest Iowa. She has written and illustrated 6 children's books in the past 3 years, the last being a novel for ages 12 and up called Buck's Rodeo, which is available in dead tree format as well as a Kindle book. She is working hard to get the picture books on the Kindle as well. You may find her books on Amazon, and by clicking here. You may follow her on Facebook and on Twitter, and even dig her up on Pinterest.

First post, by Bumrusher89
Hi guys.
I am trying to install this add-on for Windows 3.1 that came out in 1993. And it's called EDOS. (Enhanced Disk operating system.)
What this does it do? Well it enhances DOS sessions on Windows 3.1. And makes using DOS on Windows 3.1 better on386 enhanced mode.
According to this article by Tony Roberts here is how it works.
From here: https://www.atarimagazines.com/compute/issue1 … sers_still_.php
EDOS gives you all kinds of control over DOS sessions started under Windows running in 386 enhanced mode. With EDOS, you can do all the following.
* Run DOS sessions as large as 736K.
* Set alarms to let a DOS session running in the background signal you when its task is complete.
* Use Alt-F4 to close a DOS session.
* View or print the Windows clipboard from the DOS prompt.
In addition, EDOS gives you several tools to fine-tune your DOS sessions so they're running at optimum speed. The Systime and Boxtime commands can show you how much processing time a DOS application is receiving from Windows, and the Prif and Prib commands permit you to modify a DOS session's foreground and background priorities.
Other EDOS commands allow you to add memory to a DOS session, to change the time slice allocated by Windows, and to set the background or exclusive settings for the session.
If you don't like having a surfeit of PIF files hanging around your system, you can start your DOS sessions with the default PIF and use EDOS commands, either at the command line or in batch files, to modify the session parameters as needed.
On the other hand, if you're already swimming in PIF files but you can't remember which PIF goes with what, EDOS has a solution. From any windowed DOS session, you can choose PIF Editor from the Control Menu to view and edit the PIF that controls the current DOS session.
Another welcome EDOS feature is that it disables dangerous DOS commands, such as Chkdsk, Fastopen, Assign, and Append.
If you really like to call all the shots, in and out of Windows, you'll be happy with the control EDOS provides.
And here is another article from PC magazine from October 13, 1992 called "EDOS: For DOS users in Power Windows."
https://books.google.com/books?id=F1DQ5qoGN5I … indows.&f=false
"Wouldn't it be kind tp start a lenghty patch file in a Windows DOS session, switch to a Windows app, and have a message pop up when the batch file is fulfilled? That's just one of the capabilities you gain with Firefly Softwar Ststems Corp's EDOS, a software add-on the enhances your DOS sessions when you're running Windows 3.1 or 3.1 in 386 enhanced mode. EDOS adds roughly 20 new commands to your DOS sessions and one new hotkey: it also adds intelligence to PrtSc.
Through the magic of Windows virtual device drivers (VxDs), it uses no conventional memory in individual DOS sessions. One group of extra DOS commands lets you change the PIF settings on the fly. A background On command in a batch
straight Windows setup was uneventful, there were some unexplainced crahsed when many Windows utilities were running in a DOS session and slots of TSRs were active. Firefly Software is was looking into the situation on these conflicts. The
functionality of EDOS is useful, but it's potential is even more exciting. There should be more hotkeys and more investive new commands. Also, EDOS's setup utility is a little weak. It remoced the multimedia driver from our Windows SYSTEM.INI,
and we had to reinstall the driver manually. These technical programming goofs shuold not stand in the way of the main point: EDOS gives DOS users who are venturing in to the world of Windows remarkable new powers and abilities."
I got the EDOS software from here: https://www.pcorner.com/list/WINDOWS/EDOS365H.ZIP/INFO/
But there comes a question for me. We all know that Windows 3.1 finds it frowned upon playing DOS games from the GUI. But the question for EDOS installed on Windows 3.1 is this. Can this run DOS games fine when using EDOS on Windows 3.1? That's what I got to find out for myself... But I can't because I need the installation disk.
I tried to install it on Windows 3.1, but one problem. It's asking for the EDOS installations disk...
I don't even have it not even a physial copy of it. Nor a Disk image... With out it I cannot find out about what the out come would be when playing A DOS game in a DOS session with EDOS installed on Windows 3.1.
I tried searching online like on Amazon for a physical floppy online. But I could not find it on places like amazon or on Ebay. The physical copies might be rare to find. And I don't know if I can ask for any disk images on VOGONS, but VOGONS is kinda strict about it...
So if you used EDOS before and knew about the functions and if they helped you get your DOS games working on DOS session on Windows 3.1. And you happened to find where I can get the EDOS installation disk online please let me know.
Thank you...

Blue Letter Bible offers several daily devotional readings in order to help you refocus on Christ and the Gospel of His peace and righteousness.
Recognizing the value of consistent reflection upon the Word of God in order to refocus one's mind and heart upon Christ and His Gospel of peace, we provide several reading plans designed to cover the entire Bible in a year.
Accept; Acceptable; Acceptation:
ak-sept', ak-sep'-ta-b'-l, ak-sep-ta'-shun: "To receive with favor," "to take pleasure in"; "well-pleasing"; "the act of receiving."
Accept, used
(1) of sacrifice, "accept thy burnt-sacrifice" (dashen, "accept as fat," i.e. receive favorably; Ps 20:3);
(2) of persons, "Yahweh accept Job" (Job 42:9, nasa'," to lift up," "take," "receive");
(3) of works, "a the work of his hands" (De 33:11 ratsah, "to delight in").
In New Testament
(1) of favors, "We accept.... with all thankfulness" (apodechomai, Ac 24:3);
(2) of personal appeal, "He accept our exhortation" (2Co 8:17);
(3) of God's Impartiality (lambano, "to take," "receive"); "accepteth not man's person" (Ga 2:6).
Acceptable, used
(1) of justice (bachar, "choose select"), "more accept.... than sacrifice" (Pr 21:3);
(2) of words (chephets, "delight in," "sought.... accept words") (Ec 12:10);
(3) of times (ratson, "delight," "approbation"; dektos, "receivable") "acceptable year of the Lord" (Isa 61:2 (King James Version); Lu 4:19);
(4) of spiritual sacrifice (euprosdektos, "well received"), "acceptable to God" (1Pe 2:5);
(5) of patient endurance (charis, "grace," "favor") "This is acceptable with God" (1Pe 2:20). Acceptation, used twice to indicate the trustworthiness of the gospel of Christ's saving grace: "worthy of all acceptation." (1Ti 1:15; 4:9).
These words are full of the abundant grace of God and are rich in comfort to believers. That which makes man, in word, work and character, acceptable to God; and renders It possible for God to accept him, his service and sacrifice, is the fullness of the Divine mercy and grace and forgiveness. He "chose us" and made us, as adopted sons, the heirs of His grace "which he freely bestowed on us in the Beloved" (Eph 1:6; compare the KING JAMES VERSION).

Women Praying and Speaking in the Assembly
But every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head, for that is one and the same as if her head were shaved. (1 Cor. 11:5)
A couple of weeks ago I opened this passage to my Wednesday evening class and noted that women, in the first century, spoke and even prayed in mixed company. Perhaps even in the assembly. One inquired why I thought this was the assembly to which I pointed them to the following context of the Lord's Supper appearing. However, some contend that a transition of settings appears to occur in 1 Cor 11:17–18 given the rhetoric. Others include all of 1 Cor 11 in an assembly text. The former might relieve the tension of whether or not women spoke in the assembly when worship occurred—as we'd tend to demarcate it—but it still doesn't diminish the stress existing in churches of Christ wherein all cases only men should offer prayers in mixed company (cf. 1 Tim. 2:8).¹
Unfortunately, as we were given this careful study and as questions arose, time ran out, and we couldn't settle the matter which, if the Lord wills, we shall do this evening. Some of the noted points were these:
- Prophetesses existed in the early church as so prophesied by Peter in Acts 2:17–21.
- These prophetesses obviously never only spoke to other women about their prophecies, else the church couldn't be edified as Paul later lauded such (1 Cor. 14:1–5).
- The whole issue in 1 Cor 11:2–16 was head coverings, so we shouldn't make the point what Paul didn't make it.
- As I would be given to understand the whole context, prophetesses, were they in the formal assembly, should cover their heads when they prayed and prophesied to show themselves subjected to God's order despite being gifted.
The whole of the issue, I believe, is concluded in 1 Cor 14:33–35 when all women were commanded to be silent in the assembly. Paul wasn't only picking on women as some might suggests, but he had earlier even commanded those who spoke in tongues without an interpreter to be silent (14:28) as well as other prophets when one spoke (14:30). Therefore, this isn't a case of a misogynist Paul holding women back. Instead, he aimed to bring order to the assembly, especially one that had become in such disarray (14:33, 40).
I have read other, egalitarian commentaries on this passage. They have many excellent points, but there have been enough that I disagree with to not myself see the matter as they do. Historically, women did not have the same places of instruction as men. They had offices in which they served, but that service so far as I know did not include formal instruction in the assembly. This isn't to say that they couldn't do it or lacked the knowledge, but that in the solemn assembly of the body of Christ, it wasn't their station to do so.
¹ See the essay by Everett Ferguson, "Topos in 1 Timothy 2:8," Restoration Quarterly 33 (1991): 65–73 where he argues that "everywhere" in 1 Tim 2:8 designated places of assembly for worship (cf. 1 Tim. 3:15). This would exclude other sites, understandably, and thus render it permissible for women to pray in mixed company so long as the church wasn't formally assembled for the liturgy (cf. Acts 13:1–3).

Rebirth of Wonder
In May 2017 I set out on a trip to the Owyhee Canyon region of Oregon with a crew to try and make a year-long vision of Eric Giovannetti's be realized. The Owyhee region is one of the most remote places left in the lower 48 and one of the largest unprotected areas as well. It is currently under threat of development from mining, oil and gas companies. One of the goals of this trip was to highlight just how remote and special the region is in hopes that more will join in to help protect it. It is becoming increasingly rare to find a place in the States where you find yourself truly in the "middle of nowhere" with no signs of humans for miles and miles. Our group spent almost a week here, with no cell phone service and human distractions, spending time interacting and connecting with the land and being reminded of how important places like this are.
If you are interested in getting involved in protecting the Owyhee, sign the petition and learn what else you can do at http://wildowyhee.org/
We drove all day to try and get somewhere that we weren't even sure we could get to. The whole way there the prospect of locked gates and impassable roads loomed over us. Months of planning for this goal with the all too real chance that it wouldn't be possible to even attempt it if the way was blocked. But yet, it worked. Nervously approaching unlocked gate after unlocked gate, having to cleverly bypass quicksand-like puddles that would suck car tires in instantly, somehow, we made it. We were greeted with clouds that seemed to speak to the uncertainties of the trip, not able to make up their minds towards sun or rain. And this was just day one in the Owyhee. The adventure was just beginning.
We were still buzzing from being able to check the most basic item off of our list; just get there. We were there. We made it. The light was fading and the prospect of tomorrow and the unknowns it would bring were looming, but it did little to dampen our spirits. We were present in the moment, transported through time to a place that looked as if a dinosaur would be spotted on the distant landscape at any moment. There were no signs of life other than some wandering cattle and birds singing to the setting sun. Our freeze dried dinners tasted far better than we knew they should. Day one of our Owyhee adventure was coming to a close, and in that moment we celebrated what felt like big victories, all while having absolutely no clue what the next week would hold and whether or not a place so remote and rugged would be forgiving enough to allow us to succeed.
We hiked. And hiked. And hiked. Day two of our trip was a balancing act of trying to manage our excitement of where we were, wanting to explore every turn and hidden canyon, and trying to keep the end goal in mind. Scouting and decision making were consumed with the constant battle of "Is this spot good enough?" and "What if we check those spots out a little further?" We had planned for long enough, and traveled far enough, that we weren't willing to settle for good enough. Knowing our time was limited and trying to be practical for what a four man team could accomplish was hard to keep in the front of our minds as the possibilities seemed endless. But as the day carried on, we knew we needed to make a decision. Two days of bad weather were ahead and keeping any doubts out of our minds was an ever present test of morale. Was what we traveled out here for even possible?
Day Three. The rain came. It wasn't a heavy rain, but it was enough to put the mission on pause. When the dirt in the Owyhee gets any moisture, it turns into a clay-like mud that can add 10 pounds to each shoe and slow your pace down to a crawl. So we waited. And waited. Every so often peering out of tents to check the distant horizon for any break in the weather. But there wasn't a break, and even though we knew the forecast called for two straight days of bad weather, we couldn't help but hope that the websites were wrong and the sun would overcome the clouds. We knew our time was limited in the Owyhee and we had yet to see if what we were planning would even work. So minutes felt like hours, and as hard as we would try to get lost in books and embrace the rest days, our minds were still buzzing with anticipation for when the weather would finally clear.
Day three came and went. We should have known that going to bed with hopes of clear skies would put the odds against us. Waking up on day four, looking outside to a total white out, we couldn't help but laugh. Our clear sky dreams were met with a frigid blizzard that would keep us playing the game of poke your head out the tent and check the horizon for hours to come. One day of full rest felt like a luxury and was almost welcomed. A second day of total rest felt like we were being put in time out, the Owyhee laughing at our idealistic thoughts that this mission would be quick and easy. Out there, every step must be earned. So we became kids again and did the things we all did before screens and technology became rulers. We threw rocks at sticks, we threw rocks at mud piles, we threw rocks at arbitrary spots in the water. And then, we stood around the fire for 7 hours, burning things and playing with sticks a bit longer. "Tomorrow we will begin again," we told ourselves. "Tomorrow, we are going to get this thing done."
An omen. A sign of hope. After two straight days of rain, snow, sleet, and everything in between, our periodic peeping out of our tents was starting to feel more ritualistic than optimistic. But then right when our dreams of sunny skies were starting to wear off, we were greeted with a rainbow that seemed to be the Owyhee letting us know that the coming days would be better. It's funny what things like this can do for morale. Almost instantly, the planning and preparations resumed. We had our rest. Our scale of time was beginning to lean towards "days spent" rather than "days left". So if we were going to walk away from this trip knowing we had accomplished what we went to do, then tomorrow would have be the day.
And then it happened. It was rigged. Somehow, the line went up on day five went about as seamlessly as you could ask for. No close calls, no near misses, no needing to think on our toes. Just a few hours of some beautiful anchor building, some uphill and downhill hiking, and it was up. For the sake of the story, I wish I could tell you that this line was some epic battle that took days and days of rigging to accomplish, but I'd be lying. With a little bit of luck and weeks upon weeks of planning, the dream was realized. An all-natural-anchor highline in the Owyhee region of Oregon.
For the next few days we basked in the beautiful weather and enjoyed the solitude that only a place like this could offer. And during those days is when I realized that by no means was this trip about the end result. It was about the collective suffering, the companionship, and the daily experience of being left speechless by a place that feels as if it contains an endless amount of stones left to be unturned. The name that Eric gave the line couldn't be more fitting to my experience. I left the Owyhee feeling creatively revitalized, like I have a new cadence to what drives me. It is my deepest hope that we will all continue to experience and not take for granted these moments that reignite our sparks. Let them guide you. Let them give you permission to dream. Let them help you remember those moments of wonder. With that, I give you "Rebirth of Wonder". A new 110 meter long highline, 90 meters above the Owyhee canyon, established by Eric Giovannetti, Torrey Piatt and Michael Vanderburg.
The text for this trip was originally written for social media and each day was "released" over the period of a week. I have added a little bit to it here and there to help add to the blog format, but for the most part this is a very raw retelling of our adventure as I wrote it right after we returned from the trip in May 2017. My goal was to utilize this trip to help myself and hopefully others as well refocus on the power of storytelling and the patience that is required to see something through. I had been feeling a lull in creativity before the trip that was brought on by my own inability to ignore outside influences and pressures and listen to what it is that brings me fulfillment.
The week spent on this trip, disconnected from everything other than the present, allowed me to come back feeling creatively rejuvenated. It helped me to refocus and drown out the noise to gain better clarity on what it is within photography that fuels my passion and brings me joy.
A huge thank you to Eric Giovannetti for his vision for the trip and for Torrey Piatt and Michael Vanderburg for making it such an incredible trip.

From Cinelinx:
Possibly due to the delay in Star Wars we are seeing Sony shift around a few movies, including the new reboot of Spider-Man.
Not really surprised to see studios making a big shuffle after Star Wars does.
It seems Disney is giving Marvel movies the early end of the year into summer, and keeping Star Wars to December. Spread their revenue out over the whole year.
Jumanji delay isn't surprising since it's not even being made yet.
I haven't been keepin up due to family issues but is Tom Holland in the MCU going to continue in the Sony solo movies? And will the solo Sony movies be part of the MCU?
Didn't know they were doing Jumanji again. Would be nice if theres a Robin Williams tribute in there somewhere.

Victor Akhterov
Just when it looked like that over-the-radio, terrestrial broadcasting in Russia was over for the Far East Broadcasting Company (FEBC) when the government did not renew some radio station licenses, the Lord provided a way for FEBC to continue to reach out to the Russian people through online broadcasts. Now, an unprecedented number of Russian listeners are being impacted by the Gospel broadcasts of FEBC. In Ukraine, FEBC has been granted licenses for several new radio stations and they are either on the air or being built soon to minister to the Ukrainian people, many of whom are continuing to suffer from the war.
This week on FIRST PERSON, you'll hear the Russian Ministries Director for FEBC, Victor Akhterov, talk about these remarkable developments in FEBC's ministry. Please visit FEBC's Russian Ministries webpage here.
The team at FEBC has created several videos highlighting much of what Victor talks about in this week's interview. Here is one, but there are even more at Facebook.com/FirstPersonInterview.

CAPS Trust saves client $1.2 Million
We recently saved Adam and Julie a whopping $1.2 Million when they sold their business. Visit www.CAPSTrust.com for details.
4 Common Sales Structure Types
As a M&A professional representing Sellers and Buyers I see a lot of sales structures and deal types. I wanted to share 4 of the most common structures that I see for the sale of a business. These are based on a $1.5 Million Sales Price.
A. All Cash. This is usually paid in full at close, but at a discount from the full Asking Price, usually 10-20%. You could expect to see $1,350,000 – $1,200,000 at Close for a $1.5 Million Sales Price.
Advantages: Quick and you don't have to rely on a bank for funding. Disadvantages: Buyers generally aren't willing to pay full price for an all cash structure.
B. Cash with Seller Carry. I usually see 10% Seller Carry so you would get $1,350,000 at Close (for $1.5 M sale) and be paid over time, generally 3-5 years for the remaining $150,000. If the interest rate is 6% the Seller would get paid $190,000 total so they make more money with this, but have to wait 3-5 years for the remaining money.
Advantages: Sellers get more money for their business in the form of interest and can save money on taxes. Disadvantages: Purchasers sometimes don't pay and Sellers run the risk of non-payment.
C. Earnout. This includes an up-front down payment, usually at least 50% of the Sales Price and then the rest of the Sales Price is earned over time and variable. Using a 50% down scenario, the Seller would get $750,000 up front and be paid based on the profitability of the company over 3-10 years for the rest of the money and potentially "earn" more money for the business.
Advantages: The advantages to this are: Sellers could be paid much more for the business if it does well. This usually works well when the owners are staying to work in the business and not retiring from it at Close. If the business does better than expected, the Sellers get more money for their business over time. Disadvantages: Sellers have to wait to get paid and if the business does poorly under new management. Sellers can get less money than the other options.

Congratulations James!
GAAP versus Cash Basis for Selling a Business
When considering a sale, it makes sense to do an annual compiled financial statement that is presented on a GAAP basis versus Cash Basis, which is commonly used to report Income on a your tax return. This GAAP financial can then be used for valuing and selling your business compared to using Tax Returns.
The reason for this is you do everything you can to minimize your tax burden. This includes prepaying for expenses, buying inventory at year-end, buying equipment at year-end, etc. to employ tax saving strategies as advised by your tax professional or financial planner.
When preparing to sell, it makes sense to hire a CPA to do a Compiled Financial Statement on a GAAP basis. Why? GAAP tend to normalize income and increase Net Income which increases EBITDA. For example, companies on the NYSE that are publicly traded report on a GAAP basis because it tends to show more Net Income. As a business owner, you learn this the year you are forced to go from a Cash Basis Tax Return to an Accrual Tax Basis Return because you generally pay more taxes in the year you switch over because your taxable income increases. For this reason, taxpayers like to stay report on a Cash Basis for taxes as long as they can or until they are forced to do an Accrual Method by the IRS when they have $5 Million a year in average Gross Revenue.
When you are ready to sell, if you will have a GAAP basis Financials prepared, chances are, you will get more for your business and put more money in your pocket.

10 Steps to Organize Your Inbox Today (and Every Day)
When you picture a mad genius scientist plucking world-changing ideas from the ether and transforming them into gadgets and gizmos, you might picture his laboratory as a mess of disorganized papers, unwashed vials and tubes and mugs of months-old coffee.

Our winter season wrapped up a few weeks back. All across Western Canada it will be remembered as the warmest winter ever! Despite the warm temps and lack of regular snowfalls our location above 2000m helped us immensely. Cooler temps prevailed higher up preserving the limited snowpack and making for some fabulous skiing . Come prepared for winter, with our Backcountry Packing List. We finished our season with some amazing sunny skies, northern lights and great skiing as you can see from the gallery of pictures below. At times we could have used a dump of snow to freshen things up, however the great food, a warm and friendly young group of staff, extraordinary guides and a fireplace to die for, all combined to make it a wonderful winter season. I know all of our colleagues in the ski business are looking forward to the next winter season and being blessed with more snow.
With the end of our winter season it doesn't mean the ski season is over quite yet. The ski hills in our area are still in operation and the spring is a great time for some longer ski tours. In fact it is one of my favourite times of the year to get out skiing; sunny skies and warmer temperatures combine for really enjoyable tours. It is important to remember though that you should only undertake things which you have the skills and ability to do. I suggest that you hire an ACMG Mountain Guide. They will take you to places you were not aware of, they allow you to relax and enjoy the day while they do the route finding and monitor for any avalanche concerns. Whether you are looking to do a multi day ski tour across the Wapta Icefields, ski from the summit of a mountain peak or just go for a short day tour, give us a call at 403-678-4110, and we would be happy to put you onto one of the Mountain Guides we recommend.
It is always sad when I complete the last grooming run of the season each year. As we haul out the last of our supplies I want to leave the road in as good a shape as I can knowing that with the warm weather coming it will start melting out sooner than later. The grooming also gives us one last smooth run down the road as I and the staff always strap on our skis and head down the road together. As we departed the lodge this spring you could see the shrubs and grass starting to poke up around the base of the trees, indicating that there really wasn't that much snow left. What it hopefully means is we should see trails snow free sooner this year which will make for some great June hiking. Keep posted as we update you on the conditions through our website.

Travel the back country with confidence knowing you packed properly.
Lets talk Summer
Last summer we started a registry for Lodge guests completing the Alpine Circuit in one day. The Alpine circuit at Lake O'Hara is known as one of the most spectacular hikes in the Canadian Rockies. Its 360 degree panorama of glaciers, snow clad peaks and alpine lakes doesn't disappoint. With the areas easy access via shuttle bus it means you are able to get into the alpine without the typical long approach through the valley bottoms and lodgepole pine forests. Upon completion of the Alpine Circuit our guests received a small pin, shaped and coloured like the alpine circuit marker along with their name entered in the Alpine Circuit Registry book. Over 150 people completed the circuit last summer prior to us shutting down the program with the coming of the snow and ice at higher elevations. Once we feel that it is safe to do so, we will resume the circuit registry for our guests this coming summer.
Whether you are hiking the alpine circuit at Lake O'Hara or any other trail hiking poles have become the new norm. They offer a third leg for support, they help take the weight off your knees and especially on the downhills, they offer comfort on slippery or exposed trail sections. Some hike with two poles, others one. It is a personal preference. I like having one hand free so I hike with one pole. Regardless of one or two they do help save the wear and tear on your knees and add an element of safety when hiking on exposed trails. There are many models out on the market today, some of which are much more robust than others. Of course a good old fixed length ski pole will do the trick and we have a bin of these used poles available for our guests. However if you want to dial it in a little better and have a pole that is adjustable for your size and technique then purchasing a set for yourself is the way to go. Most of the early adjustable poles had an internal camming mechanism which often loosened up or wouldn't lock after lots of usage. As a result I became a journeyman in fixing these types of poles. Only with meticulous care and babying along did they give years of service. Many pole manufactures still produce adjustable poles with these types of mechanisms however, others have improved on it and now make poles with external locking mechanisms which I feel are far superior. Some of the best poles in my opinion are made by Black Diamond Equipment out of Salt Lake City. I hike with the Ultra Distance Trekking poles. These are incredibly lightweight although they are not as robust as some of the metal poles on offer. For a more more robust pole their Distance FL trekking poles are a stellar one to have in your hand. These are relatively lightweight and adjustable giving you the best of both worlds. They also are collapsible which means they can fold up nicely and easily fit in your luggage. The status of packing them in your carry-on is much debated on the internet with some folks getting through security with them while others not. Check ahead or just save the hassle and pack them in your checked bag. We will be selling the Distance FL trekking poles this summer.

Insects and other foods the trout should be eating:
1. Blue-winged Ollives and Little BWOs
2. Blue Quills
3. Quill Gordons
4. Little Black Caddis (
Little Brown Stoneflies
6. Hendricksons & Red Quills
7. American March Browns
Most available/ Near hatching and/or other types of available food:
8. Sculpin, Minnows (Streamers)
"KISS A Bug Series" - Little Short-horned Sedges
I am running behind covering this little caddisfly. It normally starts hatching about the first of April
and continues until Summertime, depending on the elevation of the stream. It has already been
hatching for at least two weeks this year due to the unusually warm water. I didn't think about it
until yesterday afternoon when I noticed a lot of the adults on the banks and in the bushes.
I'm sure many of you reading this will be wondering why I would write about such a little caddisfly
(females about a 20 and males even smaller) as the Little Short-horned Sedge. It may seem to
not make a lot of sense since other, much larger insects are hatching. The reason is that during
the past few years, we have noticed a lag between the Quill Gordons, Little Black Caddis and
Blue Quill hatches and those of the Hendricksons and March Browns. It isn't really a lag, but it
seems that way because the Hendricksons/Red Quills are only located in isolated areas of the
streams and the March Browns hatch sporadically over such a long time. During this time, you will
almost always hear guys complaining about the fishing being slow when conditions seem ideal.
When this is happening, you will often find these little caddisflies to be plentiful in many areas of
the streams. I think most anglers see them but don't have a clue about how to fish the hatch. The
problem is, when you first notice them on the rocks and banks of the streams, it's almost always
too late to fish the hatch. At this time most of them have probably already hatched in that
particular area of the stream.
The Little Short-Horned Sedges are one of the most plentiful caddisflies in the Smoky Mountains
National Park. The
Glossosoma nigrior
is the most common species in the park. If you have ever
looked at many rocks in the streams of the Smokies, you have seen plenty of these caddisflies in
their larva stage of life. These are saddle case caddisflies, so named for their cases that look like
little horse saddles. The larvae get under the saddles rather than on top of them. Most guys don't
realize they are actually live creatures in the little tiny piles of saddle shaped rocks that seem to
be stuck to the larger rocks in the streams. If you pry them loose, you will find little cream colored
larvae in them. They look like little grubs or worms. The cases are actually small domed cases
with openings at each end. When they are not bothered, they tend to stick their heads and legs
out of the case.
These little cases stick to the rocks very well and I wonder if the trout ever attempt to eat them
when they are in the cases. They can and do move around on the rocks to feed even though
they are difficult to remove from the rocks These little caddis will randomly hatch for the next
three months in isolated locations throughout the park. There will also be a small Fall hatch of
The best time to catch trout on the Short-horned Sedges is during the emergence. They swim to
the surface to emerge into adults out in the streams and they remain on the surface until they
reach the banks or a rock that protrudes out of the water. Trout mostly eat them when the pupae
are accenting to the surface to emerge. They use their middle legs to swim to the surface but
they are not good swimmers. They are easy prey at that time. Once on the surface they either
drift or actually run (skitter) across the surface of the water to the banks.
The hatches usually last a long time (about three hours) and can vary in intensity. If you start
seeing a lot of them crawling around on the rocks and banks you will know they have already
hatched. Unfortunately, that's usually too late to fish the pupa stage of the hatch. That would
indicate many of them already hatched.
The adults are small caddisflies with short horns (antennae) as their name Short-horned Sedges
implies. By the way, for those that may not know, Sedge is just another word for caddisfly. The
thing that makes them worthy of imitating is the fact that they can hatch in very large quantities.
I will get the list of above insects updated by tomorrow as well as the list of flies needed modified. I
won't have time today. Let's cross our fingers and hope there's not too much rain headed our

IOSH supports the Healthy Workplaces for All Ages campaign and proactive age-management approach
Official campaign partner, the Institution of Occupational Safety and Health (IOSH), has launched a national campaign in the UK to promote healthy workplaces for all ages.
IOSH, as the world's biggest professional health and safety membership organisation, is the voice of the profession, campaigning on issues that affect millions of working people.
It has created a dedicated webpage on their website to share information and resources provided by the campaign, along with their own resources linked to the campaign theme. These include a free guide to the key issues of occupational health provision, information on how to rehabilitate people at work and an occupational health toolkit.
IOSH has also reached out to its extensive network of partners, calling on them to participate in the Healthy Workplaces Good Practice Awards and to organise awareness-raising activities during the European Week for Health and Safety at work.
At the end of 2016, IOSH organised 3 free-to-attend events across the UK (East Anglia, East Midlands and Staffordshire) which presented the Healthy Workplaces for All Ages campaign. IOSH has also sponsored research projects on older workers.

Today we still follow his formula for success, with real cooks breading and freshly preparing our delicious chicken by hand in more than 20,000 restaurants in over 125 countries and territories around the world.
