Pin It The past few weeks before this were work-loaded, or so it seemed. Right after Brice's birthday we had quite the snow and ice storm. The main problem was the ice and the fact that the temperature wasn't getting high enough to melt it--not really the snow for all of the northerners that laugh at our inability to deal with a small amount of snow. We ended up holed up in the house until I finally venture out to work on Wednesday. Another girl already stuck at the hospital swapped days with me and worked my Tuesday, so I worked Saturday. This put me working a sixty-plus hour work week. But things are finally back to a more normal schedule.
That week was also the first of Brice's in-person interviews. He flew up to Boston to interview with GE and the next week to Houston for Schlumberger. He received offers from both and is still pursuing some other opportunities. We'll see where things take us.
We just had a great weekend to spend entirely together on fun things. After dinner on Friday, we went to a fondue/jazz club called Dante's Down the Hatch. Extremely cool place with really interesting decor and an crocodile in a pond! After some drinks, we headed over to another bar and then to the Cheesecake Factory! Three words: red velvet cheesecake. Wow. I told Brice that every once in awhile, it's important to eat those things to remind you of why eating a random Little Debbie's or Chips Ahoy isn't worth it.
The weather was super warm and nice Saturday, so we played tennis. Or we hit the ball anyway. I'm working on it. We made chicken parmesan together and watched the movie Fletch (weird...). After church on Sunday we ran some errands and picked up some new furniture at IKEA. Nice, huh?
That's about it from here. Big news is on the horizon, but for now we're just figuring things out.

Ooo, I want a shelf like that! Is it the kind that can stand on its side?ReplyDelete
What an exciting decision-making time!!!ReplyDelete
I love the shelves.

Love that line. I'll totally remember that. And who doesn't love Fletch??
Yes, Ashley, it can stand either way. And there's even a desk attachment that we may add someday if it is used in a different capacity. It's versatile (open in the back so it can be a room divider), so silly as it may sound, seemed like an investment pieces. Lots of ways to use it!ReplyDelete
Thanks for visiting! I love to get comments and feedback on my posts so thanks for taking a minute to say hello!

For thousands of adults living in the most severe poverty the Resource Center is the only place they can find safety and hope. The only place they can turn for a warm coat, a shower, a telephone, or a chance to make a better life for themselves.
Imagine if you didn't have a home. No place to store your clothes or get your mail. Or imagine what it would be like
A place where we can
repeat in our memories
the fun times;
The times and times we didn't get a chance to know.
For it is the place I go when I feel the need to know.
For when I walk away
I am glad to say
this wall is for you and
I can come everyday.
- not having clean socks or underwear,
- having no place to brush your teeth, or
- trying to find a job while carrying everything you own around on your back.
Hub of Services
The Preble Street Resource Center is the hub of services for hundreds of homeless people in Portland—meeting urgent needs at the drop-in soup kitchen, and food pantry; providing casework services; and coordinating and collaborating with other community organizations to provide safety, services, and support to help people address problems that compromise their well-being.
Casework Services
Casework staff includes social workers and multicultural caseworkers who work directly with clients and ensure access to services such as health care, mental health care, treatment for substance use disorders, education, employment, and legal assistance. Key services include:
- Assisting clients with emergency needs such as temporary shelter or food
- Individual assessment and service planning to develop goals and linkage to resources
- Review of financial issues and assistance with applications for entitlements such as food stamps, MaineCare, SSI, or housing programs such as Section 8, Shelter+Care, or BRAP
- Ongoing support for housing location and job readiness
- Advocacy for clients at both individual and systems levels.
Using a holistic approach that provides social services while meeting concrete needs for food, clothing and shelter, Caseworkers build on the positive resources and abilities of clients to facilitate independence and self-sufficiency, giving people a hand up and not just a hand out.

Josh Bernoff of Forrester Research, co-author with Charlene Li of the groundbreaking social media study Groundswell, recently issued a Forrester report entitled The Growth of Social Technology Adoption. I came across the link on ReadWriteWeb. Delighted at the chance to download my copy, I went straight to the site, where I was stopped dead in my tracks. Unfortunately, all I got to read was the synopsis, because the full report costs $279.
Now I don't want to appear cheap or ungrateful. Josh, Charlene and Forrester have been quite generous in sharing their social media knowledge. For example, you can go to the Groundswell web site and create, free of charge, a basic Social Technographics profile for a demographic and geography of your choice. I also recognize that Forrester Research is a business, and businesses need to make money.
Still, social media is in its infancy. And many of its standard bearers, bloggers like me, promote the cause on their own time and with their own finances. Sure, I have a day job in marketing and communications, but my forays into social media are not an official part of that job — yet. I'm working to change that, and one of the ways is by constantly deepening my understanding of social media and slowly but surely bringing that knowledge to bear on the work I do for my employer and our clients. But for now, whatever resources I leverage to build my knowledge base, if they involve a monetary cost, I fund out of my own pocket. And $279 is a bit steep for my budget.
So here's my request to Forrester. How about a special rate for independent social media proponents like myself? Google provides many services — Google Analytics for starters — free of charge. They recognize that by helping marketers to learn how to use online advertising more effectively, it will ultimately help Google's business. In the same way, if Forrester helps me to nurture my expertise of the social media space, that should pay off in the long term for Forrester. I will be better able to show my clients the value of social media for their business, get them started in the space and eventually purchase Forrester reports, tools and services that help them engage successfully.
Or how about a discount for people who bought Groundswell? (I'm sure I still have that Amazon receipt somewhere.) Or for writing a review of the book on a blog?
And if all of this doesn't move you, Forrester, how about just getting into the Christmas spirit? I've been a good boy all year — especially as a standard bearer for social media. I hope when Santa comes down my chimney this year, he's got something in his sack from Forrester.
Merry Christmas!

We strive to do our best in our mission to help people feel better but often are not able to truly understand the impact that we have on our customers. We were blessed to help a caregiver provide her father with the intervention he needed to not only heal but also improve his quality of life. The following is a letter we received to express her gratitude:
I am writing to tell you not only about the wonderful products you have, but to specifically single out an employee who works at your company who I feel greatly indebted to. But first, I feel obligated to tell you a bit of our medical history.
My father had a bad fall and hit his head. The fall compressed his spine and he went from being completely ambulatory one minute to becoming a quadriplegic in an instant. A feed tube was inserted through his nose then a few weeks later, when he was still having swallowing issues, a peg tube was inserted in his stomach. After four months trauma hospital, step down hospital and rehab stays he was released home and I have been his primary caregiver. I love my father very much. He has led an exemplary life and I feel honored to be able to take care of him in his time of need. I have learned a lot in the past 16 months and I will continue to educate myself so I can make sure my father has the best quality of life he so deserves.
Since being on the feeding tube, my father has had constant diarrhea. He even had to be hospitalized again for having very low potassium because of it. Once I finally got him back home I did my own research on diarrhea associated with feeding tubes and discovered information on Banatrol Plus. I called Medtrition immediately and talked to your customer service team. Much to my surprise, she actually asked me what happened to my father. I cried when I told her his unfortunate story and I told her how excited I was to try the Banatrol. Since my father has been on Banatrol Plus his diarrhea is in check and his potassium levels are steady.
Between the Banatrol and the protein supplements i tried I noticed my father was feeling much stronger. That caused me to look at your web site where I found a different product you make called ProSource ZAC, which I call our miracle supplement! My father came home from rehab with a dinner plate size redness and pressure sores on his bottom from being bed bound. After I gave my father the ProSource ZAC for three weeks his bottom was back to normal and the other wounds he got while in the hospital were all healed! I was astounded! I then talked to our new dietitian who confirmed that my father had been malnourished and he needed the additional protein and vitamins to help him heal. She talked to our doctor who promptly wrote us orders for both products.
Sir I've learned an awful lot about the health care industry in the last sixteen months. Some of it good and some of it very bad. Unfortunately there are many people working in the industry who do not care. My father's quality of life has greatly improved because of your products. Being a full time caregiver can be a challenging job, but each of your staff have been kind, courteous, compassionate, poised, extremely helpful and absolutely lovely to deal with.
Thank you for what your company does for the people who need your products at such a challenging time in their lives, and for being a leader with the foresight to surround yourself with such exemplary employees.
Thank you again and thank you to your lovely employees.

This website just received an enquiry from someone coming to live in Kathmandu. The essence of the question was this:
"Having heard about Kathmandu's pollution problem, I'm really keen to find out a bit more about how easy it is to get good aerobic exercise in the city?"
It's a good question. If you observe a few minutes in the day for a traffic policeman posted on one of the main road junctions in the city, you'll certainly question his or her life expectancy. In one busy section of road in Putalisadak, which translates to butterfly road, the pollution levels get up to double the agreed level of dangerous. All the butterflies are long gone needless to say.
Many people here don't get beyond imagining it to be impossible to run here.
But still, away from the main roads there is less traffic, the air is less polluted, and you can safely go running. Many mornings in the week I head from Lazimpat, through the back streets of Ranibari, crossing the infamous ring-road (hold your breath) and into Dhapasi. Another few kilometres on, and you're out into the fields near Tokha with the buffaloes, the sowing of seeds or harvesting of rice or wheat. It's wonderful.
The run is about 13 km and if that is too far, it is easy to take a bike for 10 minutes and lock it somewhere before starting.
Similarly, in the NGO-quarter of town arond Sanepa, it is pretty much the same but heading south. Head through Dhobighat to Chobar or south to Bungmati – fresh air in abundance, though don't get too close to the Bagmati river there.
Check this map of trails here: https://trailrunningnepal.org/running-trails-around-kathmandu/
For some other runs in Kathmandu see these Kathmandu running trails.
Finally, there is the world famous HASH which happens every Saturday somewhere in the Kathmandu valley. The Himalayan House House Harriers website is here. Jurgen has documented many of their past runs here:

So to answer the question, it's very much possible – just takes a bit of determination!


text: To be honest i was never really a fan of cords especially not the flared ones that were out some time in the 90s. However i have to say they grew on me after seeing a gorgeous cord skirt a few days ago in Topshop and I also fell in love with a pair of skinny cord trousers which I then purchased . I spoilt myself a little too much this weekend however I have an excuse, it was pay weekend .

A preliminary hearing under Article 32, UCMJ is a necessary step that the government must take before referring a case to a general court-martial. They are never required if a case is to be referred to a special court-martial or any lesser forum.
The purpose of an Article 32 hearing is for an impartial officer, who must be a judge advocate, to hear evidence from the government (and, if the accused chooses, from the defense) and:
(1) To determine whether there is probable cause to believe an offense or offenses were committed and whether the accused committed it;
(2) To determine whether a court-martial would have jurisdiction over the offense(s) and the accused;
(3) To consider whether the charges and specifications are in the proper form; and
(4) To make a recommendation as to the disposition of the charges.
The most important thing to note about this process is that it is non-binding – that is, the convening authority must consider the report of the Article 32 preliminary hearing officer (PHO), but is free to completely ignore the PHO's recommendations.
An accused facing an Article 32 hearing will be assigned active-duty judge advocate defense counsel, but is also free to retain civilian counsel. You will be given a reasonable time to obtain civilian counsel and to have your civilian counsel present for the hearing, but the hearing may not be unduly delayed for this purpose.
Consider bringing your civilian counsel on even at this early stage. Though the government is not required to put their witnesses on the stand in an Article 32, they often do, and regardless it is important to make a legally effective record that might prove crucial in the follow-on court-martial. Military judges are often more likely to hold the government's feet to the fire in the discovery process when the proper objections have been made to the Article 32, and made part of the record of the case.

Goa cops against back-to-back EDM fests, organisers adamant
| Updated: Aug 23, 2017 11:20 IST
Panaji (Goa), July 20 (ANI): The Goa Police on Wednesday objected to two Electronic Dance Music (EDM) festivals scheduled to be held in North Goa in quick succession during the Christmas-New Year rush. "Even last year we had requested that no two EDM festivals should be held at the same time, especially in the same district. We will oppose it this time too, if there are requests," Inspector General of Police Sunil Garg told ANI Goa hosted several EDM festivals in the last week of December 2015, the most popular ones were Sunburn and Supersonic. According to reports, hosting two events simultaneously puts a lot of pressure on the state's security apparatus, especially at a time when tourists' season is at peak. 'Sunburn' one of the world's largest dance music festivals was the first EDM to be held in Goa starting in 2007 after which 'Supersonic' festivals entered the state. Sunburn, has announced that the annual four-day mega event will go on as scheduled from December 27 to 30 and that there will no change in the dates since they are synonymous with the festival since inception. The festival organisers have urged fans to be patient and have assured the wait will be well worth it. Sunburn CEO Karan Singh stated that the event will take place as scheduled. "This is undoubtedly our biggest year and the celebrations will only get bigger with our promise of giving our fans one of most memorable experiences ever. Our fans are our number one priority and we are excited to see their support as they continue to engage with us on a daily basis," he said. "Since a massive festival like Sunburn takes months of preparations, we are reviewing all our viable venue options while Goa has always been home and will always be our first choice and we continue to do all we can to make Goa happen. We'd also like to thank our partners and sponsors for being a part of our journey and look forward to their continuing support in the seasons to come," he added. Sunburn has not only considerably contributed to the Goa's economy, but has also put India and particularly Goa on the world map as a Mecca for dance music enthusiasts. The festival has also helped provide local employment and boost resident businesses. Sunburn officials are currently in talks with the Goa government and a conclusion on the same is expected soon. While other venue options are being evaluated to give fans a grand experience for Sunburn 10, there wouldn't be a change in the dates. As a part of the 10th year celebration, Sunburn will give fans a larger than life experience with added incentives including a cashless experience with the tech-equipped Sunburn Smart Band which will allow them to avail entry into the festival zone, purchase F&B and merchandise at the festival without the hassles of credit cards or cash. In addition fans can expect a world class experience with on-site camping options, the fan village, an extensive array of food courts, 40+ experience zones, flea markets, chopper rides, after parties among others. Season 9 saw a record breaking attendance of over 350,000 footfalls for the 4 day festival with fans pouring over from over 52 countries. It also saw one of the best global artist line-up with headliners such as DVLM, Kygo, Martin Garrix and David Guetta among others. (ANI)

Show Notes
[00:30] Welcome to The Ziglar Show, episode 457. Today we have John Miller, author of QBQ, The Question Behind The Question, in the studio with us. Our focus for inspiring your true performance today is Personal accountability. Something all of us fail at to a degree, and can utilize to our great success. This was a high energy show…you'll get tremendous value from it, as we did!
[01:48] Hi everyone, this is your host, Kevin Miller. Today…John Miller. He shares my last name, he lives in Colorado and he has more than a quiver full of kids…7! For the past decade and a half, his book QBQ has been purchased in truck loads by Fortune 500 companies and pretty much any corporation or business worth it's salt. Additionally, the book has become a foundational classic on the shelves of whose who of success, globally. You'll hear why as Tom Ziglar and I talk with John. It's a very timely message as the topic of "entitled millennials" is getting great attention as of late.
[02:38] If you don't know John, he has one clear mission: Helping Organizations Make Personal Accountability a Core Value, though as you'll hear in the show, this book and message has become a primary personal development tool for tens of thousands of individuals.
[02:53] John is the author of …

• Flipping the Switch
• Outstanding! 47 Ways to Make Your Organization Exceptional! and co-author of Raising Accountable Kids and The QBQ! Workbook

- Two, if you've listened to The Ziglar Show for long, you've heard about the flagship Ziglar event, Ziglar Legacy Certification course. 5 days at Ziglar Headquarters in Plano, TX, right outside of Dallas, with the entire Ziglar family and team. And
[04:45] John, welcome to The Ziglar Show, thank you for taking the time to share your message with us!
[05:06] So I hear you have a Zig story…something about a special phone call?
[05:13] Yes, it was a year ago when my first QBQ book had come out, I think it was the summer of 2002, and a friend of Zig given the copy to Zig. I received a phone call and my caller id said Texas. I never expected Zig Ziglar ever call me but ofcourse once I heard his voice. He told me he read the QBQ and he loved it. So that was the most exciting moment for me.
[09:19] Your book QBQ has been so foundational for so many people, so many organizations, I want to really dig deep in, even those who are listening who are familiar with it, I was going to dig in, has brought it to life again. So, your flagship book, QBQ!, "The Question Behind the Question." To start, boil it down to the essence. Over 50,000 Ziglar listeners will hear what you say next…what is the primary problem do they have that your message solves, or what desire do they have that it provides?
[10:00] You might have some blames going in your life. I came out of Colorado in 1980 and I had girlfriend and I work 8 to 5 sitting on the desk. We moved 3-4 cities. in 1985, one of my friend said why don't you moved in sales. I said no, but later I found what is God gifted in me and i.e. selling training. So I didn't only hire as persuade executive but I also hired as a teach and train from one of the famous training institute. So I started selling training but I also execute three days workshop with senior executives. After selling training for eight years, I found people asking lousy questions. So I thought there must be good questions here and I came up with the Questions behind Questions.
[14:10] Define personal accountability for us.
[14:30] We actually find that there is a couple of myths about accountability is kept within the organization. One is them we think is the group thing. People are now hiding behind the team. We always listen that the team has done this, the team is working excellently. Nobody is caring like I care. All what we are doing is hiding behind the team, making excuse of the team. But we find excellent organization, we find outstanding people doing good things. So the other myth is we think that something I hold others too. What we teach in QBQ is to rise above the problems of the day, frustrations, negative feelings, the problem comes to us everyday, what can I do to make a difference. How can I serve people? That is the question behind the question. So personal accountability what we define is making better choices in the moment. We should be talking about best thinking. So that we can get out of the blame game.
[17:38] You published QBQ! In 2001. In the 16 years since then, what has changed or evolved in regards to the message, or the culture in relation to personal accountability?
[19:53] I would say this, people who saw me speaking, they contact me, they want me to come and teach personal accountability, it is the reason what they see in two decades is more entitlement thinking, more hand outs, desired. We can't blame millennial because we have raised them. You can have work ethics without personal accountability.
[22:40] The world has taught people, if things don't go well for you, go and blame somebody. Blame your parents, blame Hollywood, blame the president, just blame somebody. I know this is not the new but I do believe in the decades of selling, it got worst.
[22:58] So how do you coach somebody out of it either they don't believe they can get out of it, or they working for somebody who has that mind set that it is not their responsibility, it is of somebody else?
[23:11] Personal accountability and truth are like twins. You can not separate them. You can either blame all those others for your results or you can speak truth and say okay, I am frustrated but if I had done these things, I would have sold more products. And that is the attitude, that's the way of living, that's the way of thinking.
[25:41] I can feel disappointing coming out that you are not going to raising accountable spouses.
[26:11] The greatest tool is the mirror. John you know about the Zig self-talk, you can talk in front of the mirror. Get your self-talk cards on ziglar.com/selftalk.
[26:42]– corporate America lamenting soft skills
– simon sinek millennial, entitlement
– bigger opportunity to stand out and shine?
[36:42] What is the question behind the question that I can ask myself for attitude, effort and skill.
[36:54] What can I do to change my thinking today? See, that admits that my thinking is off track and taken ownership of my lousy thinking. About skills, do not wait for your managers to develop you. So we teach people to stop waiting for the company and think, what can I do to develop myself today? How can I learn new skills today? All these QBQ I am running through have these common themes.
[39:30] So, in that you mentioned actionable, so looking in the mirror which listeners are used to the Zig selftalk cards.
[39:48] Personal accountability. What is the mindset, the traits, the telltale signs of someone who is lacking…in personal accountability? So we can start to notice it in ourselves and others?
[39:58] This is the power of QBQ, it changes the way I think, but it also changes the way I talk to myself which is same as thinking. But it changes the way I even speak with others. So instead of saying to your wives, why don't you do more for me, you can say, hey what can I do today to make you more cherish. And imply the next is action. What we wanna listen for is our selftalk and the words come out of our mouth. There are three kinds of things listen for, why questions, who questions, when questions. We teach don't ask why if it sound like this 'why is this happening to me', 'why don't they pay me more', all of that is a victim thinking. QBQ burst those tires of victim thinking.
[40:52] Second type of question to listen for is are you asking any when questions. 'when they going to get back to me', 'when customer will return my call'. How much better it will if we say what can we do to make it better than this. And the lastly avoid Who questions, who types of blaming questions. 'who drop the ball', 'who made the mistake', blame lets see solves no problem. So what you wanna do is listen to why questions, victim thinking, when questions, and who questions, blame. If you are asking those questions, then you are not practicing personal accountability.
[42:02] Ok, I am so curious on that because what came to mind is ego. So on one hand I don't wanna be accused of fault and I have the tendency of look for where's to blame but then on the other side I heard you talking about how much power we giving to other circumstances.
[42:51] As long as I am pointing fingers and holding the hand cause I am entitled of blaming others, I am not being my best. I got to look in the mirror and ask these accountability questions and take actions now. I also need to make sure I am not pointing fingers on others and blaming them.
[43:30] Your primary focal points here, I mean if I lump work, career and business together, you talked already about marriage and parenting, would you put those as your top three focal points.
[43:50] I sold these leadership trainings for decades, I call VPs of sales, CEOs etc so I learned a lot from the age of 28 to 36 and then I went offer my own. And mine in QBQ experiments, talking to those executives, so all my work has been corporate. But as I am teaching these QBQ, people used to come up and 80% of the audience are moms and dads. They come up and said I can use this at home, do you have the parenting format.
[49:48] I've got to tell you, I love how your book is written. You don't belabor a point. You didn't fill it with fluff or go so far down the rabbit hole you lost us. It's short, poignant, actionable chapters. A fave that is a soapbox of mine is 117, "We read too many books"
[50:18] Right now, there is no one listening who is 100%, perfect in the area of personal accountability. Just as no one is perfectly healthy physically. If I had to hit on a high point for health and hit some core roots, I'd probably lead with: 1) Get more and better sleep, 2) Cut out sugar, processed food and gluten, 3) eat more veggies and 4) eat less
Those 4 things right there will increase the average American's health by 50-75%.
[50:51] In regards to personal accountability, what are some of the number one areas we can all write down, right now, and take action on to make radical changes towards a personal accountability mindset?
[51:15] I always think it is a good to identify the negative feelings we are having, frustration, disappointment, anger, those are real things we all suffer from, write them down and then identify what you believe sources are. If leads back to an individual, ask yourself, have I been waiting on that person to change?
[53:26] So John, what about you? Even as the master and evangelist of personal accountability, where do you occasionally find yourself faltering?
[53:48] We have about 99 relationships in the family. I have 7 kids and a wife, that's 8, we have 7 grand children that's 15, we have four in-laws that's 19, So you have got all types of relationship in this family. And every single one of them requires a different kind of skills, ability, attitude, techniques, maintenance. So I am constantly challenged to work in a different way to one child from another.
[56:12] So I have a one more question, decade and a half into this message, starting to reach your prime…where do you see literally the next decades in this evolution, where do you feel its going to go.
[56:35] No change, I am happy with the 5-6 books in the market and it just came out QBQ workbook. I only have 6 books and that's it. I don't have anything to teach but this.
[58:17] Thanks John for doing this, sharing your message, sharing your heart, complete gift.

When was the first time you heard the name Jack LaLanne? I can't recall because like many American's I was too young to remember. I do however remember being impressed. I'm not sure I even knew what the definition of that word meant, but the feeling was there. The year before I was born, Jack LaLane towed 10 boats carying 77 people, for over one mile, in less than one hour. He was 66 years old.
His entire life was just that, impressive. In a time when no one thought about what to eat, nutrients, calories, processed food, or working abs, butts, glutes or any exercise other than what life demanded of them, Jack was telling it like it was. He was concerned. He saw the trends moving toward inactivity and more and more unhealthy food. He saw those trends clearly because as a child he was part of those trends. Jack has written of his childhood including addiction to sweets and junk food along with a poor physique and behavioral problems. Jack is quoted saying "I was a miserable goddamned kid, it was hell!"
But Jack changed. At age 15 after attending a lecture on nutrition, he reformed his diet eliminating sugar, began working out and began studying the human body. After high school he attended and graduated from chiropractic college, and in 1936 at age 22 he opened his own (not to mention the first) fitness club in America. In 1955 he won Mr. America, and by 1959 he was on national television taking Americans through all sorts of movements, exercises and callisthenics, while teaching them what health was and how to journey towards it.
This approach at this early time rightfully earned Jack the title of Godfather of Fitness. Unlike many early strongmen, Jack was concerned with health, not just strength and physique. You can see from the picture on the left, Jack is showing the difference good nutrition, exercise and positive thoughts can have over a lifetime in reguards to health.
He was telling people to exercise for health back when the medical community was endorsing cigarettes. "People thought I was a charlatan and a nut," Jack says, "The doctors were against me –
they said that working out with weights would give people heart attacks and they would lose their sex drive. Women would look like men and even varsity coaches predicted that their athletes would get muscle bound and banned them from lifting weights."
Jack proved them all wrong and became an authority on health, fighting the good fight as a health advocate for over 80 years. His television show aired for over 30 years making it the longest running of its kind in history. Throughout most of our lives, Jack played the seemingly never ending role as America's inspiration for good health at any age.
Jack passed on Sunday at his home in Morro Bay, CA at the age of 96. He was an inspiration to millions and one of my heros.
Rest in Peace Jack, You've earned it.
With Love,
Dr. Nicholas Araza DC CCWP

Monday again? Didn't we just have a Monday?
It's OK, I'm going to give you a recipe that allows you to have chocolate for breakfast.
In my many faulted attempts to find something for my daughter to eat for breakfast, I stumbled on this recipe. How could she NOT love it?
The muffins are light and fluffy with a yummy chocolate bite, the confectioners' sugar topping really adds a nice sweetness. This recipe made enough that I was able to share with some neighbors, and their kids loved them too. Maybe not the healthiest breakfast in the world but still probably better then a lot of the pre-made things you can get in the grocery store. All in all it was a great muffin!
Buttermilk Chocolate Chip Crumb Muffins
Recipe from Love and Olive Oil
Ingredients - Topping
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup brown sugar

- 2 whole eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- powdered sugar (for dusting)
- Preheat the oven to 400º
- Line 2 cupcake/muffin pans with 18 cupcake papers
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour's, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Remove about 2 tsp of the flour mixture and put in a separate bowl and dump in 1/2 cup of the chocolate chips. Mix together. Set aside.
- In the bowl of your stand mixer, add the butter and sugar and beat until light and fluffy on medium speed, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing in between. Add the vanilla extract and mix.
- Incorporate the flour mixture and the buttermilk alternately. Flour, buttermilk, flour, buttermilk, flour. Fold in the mini chocolate chips that were stirred in with flour.
- Place about 3 Tbsp of batter into each muffin cup. Bake 12-15 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Top with the remaining chocolate chips while the muffins are still hot.
- Let cool on a cooling rack, then dust with powdered sugar.

Mike Armold's Son Isaac Is Bound For New Heights In The U.S. Air Force.
Isaac Armold, 18-year old son of Songer Services Construction Manager Mike Armold, was born on September 18th — the same day the US Air Force was founded back in 1947.
It's an awesome coincidence that Isaac recently received his Airman's coin upon successful completion of Basic Military Training at Lackland Air Force Base (AFB) in San Antonio, Texas.
Isaac is off to Vandenberg AFB for specialized Tech Training with a focus in missile and space defense systems. From all of us here at Songer, especially from your proud father Mike, congratulations! You were "born" for this.

I spoke last night at Cameron Highlands which is only an hours drive from Galas. The by election at Galas which will take place on Thursday 4thNovember2010 is expected to be a tight race. Given to understand for over a decade there has been no formal political dinner talks held in Cameron Highlands by the DAP in the scale it was done yesterday. Among the speakers were CM Lim Guan Eng, Augustine, Simathri, Thomas Su, Tony Puah, Chong Eng, Leong Mei Meng and many others. It was well attended.
Among other matter i spoke on the following issues;
It has been more than a year since Dato Sri Najib took over from Tun Abdullah as the nation's 6th prime minster.
As usual, a new prime minister will introduce his own slogan and make promises.
Najib has introduced 1 Malaysia concept and promised that he will be a prime minister for all Malaysians. He has often stressed People first, Performance Now slogan.
But has he been able to walk his talk? Or is BN government still " cakap tidak serupa bikin" ?
The answer is obvious, BN government is unable to change and it is still "cakap tidak serupa bikin"!
Let's look at some issues and cases.
There is still shortage of Chinese primary schools in various parts of the country but yet no new school can be built based on need.
Many schools still have to raise their own money from the public to upgrade their much needed infrastructure and facilities. Students will still have to pay miscellaneous fees to help support the schools.
One Tmail primary school in Hulu Selangor had no Tenaga Nasional electricity and water supplies for a few decades only had such supplies connected in the recently parliamentary by election.
In the Sibu by election, the prime minister abandoned his "People First, Performance Now" slogan and wanted to make a "You help me, I help you" deal with the voters on the issue of flood problem. Of course, when the by election results were announced, he knew the people's answer was "No deal!".
Najib recently declared that the government's stand is zero tolerance against racism, but what satisfactory action has been taken against the Johor school head who made derogatory and insulting racial slurs against the students?
Cakap tidak serupa bikin!
If BN government really believes in People First, Performance Now slogan , then eligible farmers in Cameron Highlands ought to have been given land titles, not TOL, long ago.
But instead of issuing land titles to the farmers, bulldozers were sent in to their farms.
This is not "People First, Performance Now" but "People Last, Bulldozers Now".
The prime minister is down with chicken pox and we wish him a speedy recovery.
Today, the Deputy Prime minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin delivered speech on his behalf at the Second World Chinese Economic Forum in Kuala Lumpur.
The Prime Minister said, " Malaysia would not be what it is today without the industry, expertise and dedication of the Malaysian Chinese community".
"Likewise, there will be a bleak future for Malaysia without the Chinese community's support. We would clearly fall short of reaching the goals to become a developed nation by 2020."
Yes, indeed the Chinese, along with the other races have made major contribution to the nation. Contribution from all, regardless of race, is much needed to make our nation a success.
The problem that the nation faces today is not the people, whether Malays, Chinese, Indians, Kadazans, Ibans, Orang Asli or other minorities.
The greatest problem is because we have a government that cannot change and has failed to make Malaysians feel that there is usual place for all under the Malaysian sun.
Despite being a resource rich country, Malaysia has been said to face bankruptcy in 2019 unless food, petrol and other subsidies are cut.
Can the Malaysians continue to place their hopes on BN?
The answer is a big NO.
Come next general election, Malaysians of all races must rise to the occasion and ensure the success of Pakatan Rakyat's electoral objective of March Towards Putrajaya.

Your Career: What Do You Really Want?
By: AJE Recruiting Specialist
Regardless of what career path you choose, fundamentally most of us work because we need to earn a living. At some point in all of our careers, however, the inevitable question is posed "Is this what I want to be doing?" While this can seem like a daunting question, if you approach finding the answer in a methodical manner, you can work towards building a more fulfilling career.
As counter–intuitive as it may sound, in order to find a response to your question, you first have to begin by asking yourself a series of "smaller" questions – the first of which is, are you doing what you love?
Choosing a career that is associated with something you enjoy will better lead to not only a fulfilling job, but success. What is your passion? What do you like spending time on? These are the preliminary questions you should pose. This can be anything from organizing to your love of painting.
Once you hone in on a passion or a skill that brings you joy, you can and should correlate this to a career path. Your ability to organize can mean you would do well in any job that requires this skill set, anything from a project planner to a job as a data scientist. Your love of painting may mean you may want to pursue a career working in a gallery or a museum, where you will be surrounded by that which you enjoy.
The next question to ask yourself is, "Can I find satisfaction in my current career or do I need to change paths altogether?" Perhaps the job you were meant to be doing can be found in your present career – or at your current company. Take a closer look at the industry you are in or the projects you are doing at work. What projects spark the most interest? Pay attention to the activities you do on a daily basis and those that bring you the most joy. There may be opportunities to focus on these areas more once you define what interests you most. By paying close attention to what you do on a daily basis you can begin to map out your dream job.
Changing careers or finding a career you love requires a long–term investment of time and energy. Tackling this by taking small steps can help. Or perhaps you're not ready to make this type of investment. Sometimes learning to love the job you're in can be as simple as making some small adjustments, from focusing on the projects you enjoy to asking to branch out into another division of the company you are in.

The Senate voted 50-48 to do away with broadband privacy rules; allowing ISPs and telecoms to sell your internet history.
Caleb Chen
MintPress News
Despite widespread disapproval from constituents, S.J.Res 34 has passed the United States Senate with a vote of 50-48, with two absent votes. Earlier, at 12:25 Eastern March 23, 2017, the US Senate voted on S.J.Res 34, and will use the Congressional Review Act to strip away broadband privacy protections that kept Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and telecoms from selling your internet history and app data usage to third parties.
S.J.Res 34 was first introduced by 23 Republican Senators earlier this month and its blitz approval is a giant blow to privacy rights in the United States.
The resolution, which is now effectively half passed, will hand responsibility of broadband privacy regulation from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and disallow the FCC from making any rules protecting Internet privacy ever again. Continue reading

In this new age of social media, many unknown hip-hop and pop music artists have rocketed to mainstream popularity and status, but some get left behind regardless of quality. Here are four artists that create great, tasteful music that has yet to be fully recognized in the mainstream music scene.
Jazmine Sullivan
Sullivan knows how to stir the pot musically. From the angry ex-girlfriend to the brokenhearted, the Philadelphia-born singer-songwriter possesses the gift of provoking emotion across a variety of subjects, though she tends to focus on love, domestic violence and female empowerment.
Her debut album, "Fearless" (2008) was a prime example with hit tracks like "Bust Your Windows" and "Need U Bad." For the past decade, Sullivan has created music for herself and with others — most notably Frank Ocean and Mary J. Blige — that has been featured in a variety of films and television while still acting as a voice for the voiceless.
Chloe x Halle
At the young ages of 19 and 17, sisters and singing duo Chloe x Halle (full names Chloe and Halle Bailey) have already made their mark in the world of music. The duo released their first EP "Undercover" in 2013, but it wasn't until the two released "Sugar Symphony" three years later that they began to receive media buzz.
Along with their musical releases, Chloe x Halle have caught the eye of mainstream artists like Andra Day and Beyoncé, even appearing in the latter's 2016 visual album "Lemonade." Chloe x Halle have the drive and talent to make it big in the music industry and it is imperative for society to notice their star quality.
Justine Skye
With her debut EP "Everyday Living" sparking the interests of Tumblr-obsessed teens across the nation in 2014, Skye was destined for stardom.
The New York native presented a passion for music at a young age and at 22, released her first studio album "Ultraviolet" with Roc Nation and Republic Records in Jan. 2018.
With such a recent release, Skye has only just begun to receive attention from the mainstream media, but not as much as she rightfully deserves. Once she does, the purple-haired girl from Brooklyn will finally be able to successfully express her musical style and flare.
Daniel Caesar
Caesar, a Canadian soul and R&B artist, wooed the world of music with his soulful voice in his breakout 2016 single "Get You" with Kali Uchis, but unfortunately has only just begun to receive attention from mainstream media with two 2018 Grammy nominations for Best R&B Album for his first studio album "Freudian" (2017) and Best R&B Performance for "Get You."
"Freudian" follows Caesar's EPs "Pilgrim's Paradise" (2015) and "Praise Break" (2014) and maintains the same melodic tones that have stood the test of time.

Main News Page
Friday, September 12, 2014
Home builders are walking taller in the wake of new Census Bureau estimates that show spending on both single- and multifamily construction soaring in the last year, according to the National Association of Home Builders.
Single-family construction spending increased by 9.9 percent and multifamily construction spending increased by 38.4 percent on a three-month moving average basis from July 2013 to July 2014, NAHB reported last week.
Multifamily construction spending increased by 38.4 percent on a three-month moving average basis between July 2013 and July 2014, according to the National Association of Home Builders.
The current seasonally adjusted annual rate for total private residential construction spending (single family, multifamily, and home improvements) is $358.1 billion, the organzation said.
Construction Upswing
The homebuilders' analysis followed the release of a U.S. Census Bureau report showing an 8.2 percent increase(±2.3%) in construction spending between July 2014 and July 2013.
Construction spending during July 2014 was estimated at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of $981.3 billion, the bureau said.
During the first seven months of this year, construction spending amounted to $535.4 billion, 7.9 percent (±1.5%) above the $496.3 billion recorded for the same period in 2013, the agency said.
Who's Building What
Spending on private construction increased by 1.4 percent over June, and public construction increased by 3 percent from June. Highway construction showed the largest one-month increase—6.9 percent, the Census Bureau reported.
The residential construction bounce brought builder confidence to 55 in the August NAHB/Wells Fargo Housing Index. Officials expect to top January's high of 56 by the end of 2014.
As always, however, officials cautioned that month-to-month changes in seasonally adjusted statistics "often show movements that may be irregular."
NAHB noted that the home-improvement component of residential construction spending had actually declined by 2.2 percent from one year ago, but it added that the July figure was 1.2 percent higher than the revised June estimate.
All three categories of residential construction spending (single family, multifamily, and home improvements) increased from June to July, NAHB said. Single-family spending increased 0.5 percent month-over-month; multifamily spending, 0.2 percent.
Builders Buoyed
The increase in construction spending matches the improvement in builder sentiment, the homebuilders said.
The August NAHB/ Wells Fargo Housing Index rose another two points in to 55. An index reading above 50 indicates more builders see the market improving than see it getting worse.
The confidence level for 2014 reached a high of 56 in January, but the homebuilders expect to top that by year's end.

For those of us who automatically renew our magazine subscriptions each year, or, most likely, get our dose of Vogue, Elle, and GQ via the web, there is one thing we can only get by swinging by our neighborhood newsstand: that "buy-me" appeal of the (normally celebrity) cover.
As it turns out, the most powerful face for making that money may just be that of Ms. Carrie Bradshaw, Sarah Jessica Parker. While 2011 saw quite a few fresh faces gracing mag covers, its seems that it was the favored household names that moved magazines: SJP, Heidi Klum, and "sexiest woman alive" Jennifer Aniston.
According to WWD and the Audit Bureau of Circulations, while Bieber fever
has no cure in sight has not seemed to slow down, the teen sensation bombed as far as sales of his lipstick-stained cover of February's Vanity Fair go. Other cover blunders included Brooklyn Decker on Esquire, Michelle William's Marylin Monroe-channeling Vogue, and Justin Timberlake on both W and Esquire (poor JT).
Of course, Gaga made the list for her numerous 2011 covers that sold less than 2010's appearances. The reason, WWD suggests, may be her lack of theatricality (i.e. her au naturel appearance in October's Harper's Bazaar). Read even more of the year's hits and misses at the link. (WWD)

Zhuhai Traffic from nataliegoes on Vimeo.
I've decided that a country's traffic says a lot about its culture. So what does China's traffic say about its culture? Well, it says chaos rules the day and yet life continues to go on. And it also says that "I don't care about anybody but me." You may have thought America was filled with self-absorbed egotists, but in reality we are still quite polite, friendly and care about the other guy.
It looks like chaos to the outsider, but actually there are some unwritten rules. If you watch the video you will see some of the unwritten rules of the road in action. The first thing you need to know is that the BUS is the king of the jungle around here. Buses usually don't slow down at intersections. They usually only slow down to stop at bus stops, and that's not even a given. Do not walk in front of a bus, and if one is bearing down on you then you are responsible for getting your ass across the road before you get hit. Next in the pecking order are taxis. Taxis will drive anywhere to keep from having to slow down; through parking lots, on curbs, between lanes, into oncoming traffic, etc. They only show respect to buses. Riding in a taxi can be scary, so it's best not to look at the traffic and by all means do not glance over at the driver. Chances are he is popping pills, talking on a cell phone, smoking a cigarette, counting his money and honking his horn every three seconds whilst driving. So it is best not to figure out how he's doing that all at once, because your brain will explode. Last on the totem pole is everyone else – cars, trucks, scooters, police cars and ambulances, 3 wheeled bicycles, pedestrians, motorcycles, dogs, etc. These are all equally dangerous and aggressive. Show no fear, or you are doomed to spend eternity in the middle of the road waiting for a break in the traffic.
Directional flow is a tricky thing for us foreigners. Luckily they drive on the right side of the road. Or make that that they are supposed to drive on the right side of the road. But Macau (and Hong Kong) drive on the wrong, I mean left side of the road. So on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays I deal with directional flow, and Saturday, Sunday, Wednesday and Friday I could get run over from the other direction. However, here in China, lanes and direction of traffic are a joke. It is fairly common practice to pull over into the wrong lane before making a left turn, or even cutting the corner completely. For pedestrians this means you have to look in all directions at all times when crossing the road.
Some other quickies that you should know before setting foot in the country is that horns are used to communicate more than just "You made me mad." Horns say I'm turning, or I'm going straight through this intersection so get out of my way or this taxi is available, or a million other things. Another item worth noting is that if a pedestrian gets hit by a car the driver will hope you die. It's actually less legal and monetary hassle for the driver if you die, than if you end up in the hospital. Also you should know that most people here have only been driving for a few years. It wasn't that long ago that bicycles were the major form of transportation. So basically it like driving on the road with a half a billion teenagers. Scary!
