6 Signs You're in the Wrong Job!
Approximately 1/3 of your time on this planet is spent working. That's a massive portion of your life, so spending it in the wrong job is a tragedy of epic proportions. If you aren't on a career path that allows you reach your maximum potential and contributes to your true value, it starts to chisel away at your state of mind. In my last article we identified 6 signs you are in the right job or career.When you're in the wrong job or the wrong career, it's a sure thing you will experience one or more of the following emotional drains.
These 6 killers are brutal!
1. Indifference: You are uncomfortably numb.You don't feel any emotion, good or bad, when it comes to your work. You check off the tasks. Your duties are there, but they just don't create any meaningful positive feelings. You rarely talk about work outside the office; in fact, you hate it when people ask you what you do for a living. Work feels like this inevitable part of life, it stimulates zero excitement. Not even big accomplishments and epic wins bring you much joy. At the same time, the challenges that cause your colleagues to run around with their hair on fire don't create stress for you. There just isn't life to it.
2. Apprehension. You dread each morning, especially Mondays. You may even feel dread the night before every workday. Sunday nights are locked with poor sleep and an inability to relax. But not all dread means you are in the wrong job. You could be in the wrong company, the wrong location, or the wrong department. A number of factors can inspire dread. To find out if it's your role, ask yourself these questions: Do I like the people I work with? Do I feel good about the company I work for and its mission? Do I like where I work and feel good about my commute?If you answered yes to those questions, then take a deeper look at your job to understand why it isn't right for you.
3. Envy.You know you are in the wrong role because you wish you had someone else's career or job, and not in that mentor-ish, aspiring ways. You look at her/him in meetings wishing you had that job. I had a client who was a senior marketing executive at a well-known and successful company. She was really successful and well-liked by everyone, but she just wasn't fulfilled. The results of the Sims Consulting360 survey had one comment that brought it all together for her. The respondent said, "You're good at what you do. I just can't understand why you're in marketing. You seem like an operational person to me." That one comment opened a new world for her. She had intended to pursue a career in operations, but she landed an amazing first job in marketing. She climbed the ladder rapidly in marketing until she was so far away from operations that she couldn't remember that it had been her goal. It set clear for her why she envied this other person. She saw her as someone who had followed her passion and was happy in her role.
4. Boredom. You can do your job without thinking too much. You spend a large portion of your day unaware. Have you ever driven to work or home and realized 10-15 minutes into it that you were completely on auto-pilot? It's kind of like that. You are not engaged because you don't need to be. One day seems like all the others. Every day is predictable. It's Groundhog's Dayfor you. There's nothing to look forward to and nothing that stands out at the end of the week as a particularly valuable activity. The days turn into weeks and weeks, months. Time goes by slowly because you're just waiting for the whistle to blow so go home and start over again….maybe.
5. Fear.You feel like an imposter in your role and worry that you'll be found out. You sense that you are in over your head or just not a good match with the required skills. You worry about making mistakes or threatened by your colleagues who seem better suited for the role. You get the feeling that "one of these things is not like the other," and you think you're the one who doesn't fit. Every day you worry that this is the moment when they figure out you're a fraud.
Or…..! The environment really is toxic. People get fired or quit regularly. There is a constant question mark above everyone's head. I spent 18 months in a culture like this recently and let me tell you, it's hell. Walking in fear of when the next axe will swing is no way to live or work, and YOU DON'T HAVE TO!
6. Stuck.Your just don't get to use your superpowers! You know, the things that make you shine like a diamond. You're fully confident you could contribute at a much higher level, but your current position limits your ability to be your best self. You feel shackled and unsure how to make a meaningful change. You're stuck.
If you're feeling one or more of these emotions, it's time to take charge of your career. Don't get me wrong here! There are areas where we can all self-sabotage here and need to get real to work on ourselves. But, after that's been done all these things can still exist if you are in the wrong line of work. Work should make you feel inspired, and it should be the pathway for delivering your total value to this planet. Speak with a coach about this. Do some introspection to define the job that's right for you. Take career quizzes or assessments. Talk to people who have jobs you think might be right for you. I designed a full course for this called YOU INC. to assist people of all walks of life in unearthing their true purpose, and the pathway to experience it.
You'll spend thousands of hours of your life working. Spend that time in a job that makes you feel exhilarated. Do something that you and your kids can infinitely be proud of. If you are looking for clarity on what this is for you please reach out to me for a free consultation!
Live & Lead Exceptionally!

What I'm Reading: One Breath
One Breath: Freediving, Death, and the Quest to Shatter Human Limits
by Adam Skolnick
"... freediving is both an athletic quest to push the limits of the body and mind, and a spiritual experience."
As a science nerd, water lover, avid
scuba diver
wannabe mermaid
, I was instantly drawn to this title.
One Breathe
tells the story of Nick Mevoli, an award-winning free diver who, in 2013, tragically lost his life doing what he loved most - pushing limits and exploring the depths.
For those unfamiliar with the extreme sport of free diving, it is where a trained swimmer packs as much air as they can into their lungs and plunges as deep as they possibly can into the sea, often as far as 100 meters or more. There's no oxygen tank involved, just that one breath to keep him or her going throughout their journey. It tests the limits of the human body in the most hostile environment on the planet. As the first athlete to die in an international free diving competition, Mevoli's death brought into question the impact of diving deep on the body and the ultimate risks involved with the sport. Lung squeeze in free diving is comparable to a concussion in hockey or football - completely misunderstood for so many years, but as it occurs more and more, is being taken more seriously.
In this title, Skolnick dives into our body's physiology and how humans are able to continue to push the limits and dive where no person has dove before. He gives an insight into the sport and its competitive nature, yet shares how everyone involved is very much a family, challenging each other to push their limits and dive deeper.
The book did a great job at keeping me intrigued and engaged from beginning to end, alternating between snippets of Melvoli's personal life and his competition life. However, while Skolnick's narrative of this underwater sport makes it sound exhilarating, I think I'll stick to exploring what lies beneath the surface with my air supply strapped to my back.

10 Things I've Learned As a New Mom
It's amazing to see how much little miss has learned in just 5 1/2 short weeks. Im also amazed at how much I've learned in those few weeks. The learning never stops.
10 things I've learned as a new mom:
When baby is hungry, she will go for anything nipple-shaped, including your husband's nose.
Coffee, breakfast, lunch and dinner are best served cold.
Eau de baby spit up is the new perfume, and is oddly comforting.
"Nap when she naps" is easier said than done.
There is a cry for "hold me". I sometimes like to call it dramatic.
The pout gets you, every. single. time.
Midnight feeds are like a scene from the Walking Dead, minus the blood and guts.
It's appropriate to cry over spilt milk.
Breast pumps are very satisfying.
The birds start chirping at 3:55am.
And one more for good measure...
Your definition of love and happiness completely change.
This picture makes my heart flutter.

Broccoli Chicken Mac & Cheese
This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. #DareToPair
During our first weeks home with baby, making dinner was the last thing on our minds. Family and friends played a huge role by bringing over food that we could either eat that night or toss in the freezer for a later date. Pasta dishes were key because they were so easy to just pop in the oven and reheat.
One of my favourite pasta dishes is mac & cheese. Anyone with me on that? However, it's also not exactly the best option when it comes to eating healthy. So, why not kick it up a notch by adding some veggies and protein?
That's right, a healthier mac & cheese - the sneaky way to incorporate some fibre, protein and essential vitamins into your diet. Same old comfort food we all love, with a little side of nutrition.
Whether you're bringing home baby, know someone who is, or are just on the go with limited time to make dinner, this easy, and freezer-friendly, broccoli chicken mac & cheese is the perfect recipe for you!
Broccoli Chicken Mac & Cheese
Yields: 6-8 servings
1 box
Barilla Gluten Free Pasta
, such as rotini or penne
1 bunch broccoli, rinsed and cut into bite-sized florets
2 cups skinless chicken breasts, cooked and shredded
2 tbsp butter or olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
3 tbsp flour
1 cup low sodium chicken or vegetable stock
1 cup skim or 1% milk
2 1/2 cups reduced fat sharp cheddar cheese, grated
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground back pepper
additional 1/2 cup reduced fat sharp cheddar cheese, grated (optional)
1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs (optional)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook pasta al dente, according to package instructions. Remember not to overcook, as the pasta will soften slightly while baking.
Approximately 2-3 minutes before pasta is al dente, add in the broccoli florets and allow to cook slightly. Drain pasta and broccoli and set aside.
While pasta water is coming to a boil, melt better in a medium sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add garlic and
sauté for 1 minute, stirring occasionally.
Whisk flour into butter and garlic mixture until combined. Cook for an additional 1 minute, whisking occasionally.
Slowly add stock and whisk until mixture is smooth.
Slowly add milk and whisk until mixture is smooth.
Continue cooking for 1-2 minutes or until mixture comes to a simmer. Remove from heat and stir in cheeses, salt and pepper.
Pour the cheese sauce over top of the drained pasta and broccoli. Add chicken and toss until everything is evenly combined.
Once combined, pour pasta mixture into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish and sprinkle with extra sharp cheddar cheese and breadcrumbs (optional).
Bake uncovered for 15-20 minutes, or until the top becomes slightly crispy and the breadcrumbs are slightly golden.
Remove from oven and serve immediately.
If preparing to freeze for later, omit steps 10 to 12. Instead, pour pasta into appropriate-sized aluminium takeout containers. Don't forget to include the reheating instructions on the container - thaw and
bake uncovered at 350F for 15-20 minutes, or bake frozen at 350F for 30-45 minutes. Whoever the lucky recipient is, they
Made from corn and rice,
Barilla Gluten Free Pasta
has the same great taste and texture as regular pasta, and is suitable for those that are gluten free, egg free, vegan, vegetarian or just looking to eat healthier and be more conscious of what they are putting in their bodies. While we are not a gluten free family (the above recipe may contain ingredients with gluten), what drew me to this product was that it contains no GMO ingredients - something that is very important for my little family unit.
Barilla Pasta can be found in the pasta section at your local Walmart.

How To Create the Perfect Gallery Wall
We are currently in a transition
phase as we rent a small, one bedroom apartment and
await the construction of
our condo
. But, just because we are in a temporary space does not mean that we can't make it feel like home. Gallery walls are the perfect way to spice up an empty wall in your home and make it feel just that, more 'homey'.
If you have a ton of family photos and the wall space for all your pictures, you should try putting up a
gallery wall
in your home. Wh
arranging framed photos on your wall can feel like a big project, it can easily be done in less than a day.
how to create the perfect gallery wall, in 6 simple steps:
What You'll Need
Photos & prints
Newspaper or kraft paper
Painter's tape
Tape measure
Hammer & nails/drill & screws/adhesive tape (depending on the wall)
What To Do
Step 1: Get inspiration
First, identify the wall that needs the oomph. For us, the large wall in our living room is the perfect canvas for our gallery wall. Grab some quick measurements of the space so that you know how many photos you need, sizes, etc.
Gather the photos, frames and other items (such as posters, prints, collectibles, etc.) that you would like to hang. Remember not everything has to match - the most important thing is that the wall represents you! Look for inexpensive and unique frames in unconventional places, such as thrift stores. Ikea also has a great selection of affordable frames in all different sizes and colours.
I picked up
this piece
on a recent trip to Hobby Lobby, and it became the inspiration for our wall. We decided to hang photos of our adventures together - from Alaska, to a trip to Hawaii and even our wedding. If you are lacking ideas for what to hang, or how to hang them, check out some inspiration on
Step 2: Lay it out.
Lay out the newspaper or kraft paper on a large flat surface, such as the floor. Begin to lay out the pieces for your gallery - start with a large centre piece and build out. Arrange the frames how you would like them. Remember, there is no right or wrong way, it all depends on your personal style. You can always switch it up when you go to put it on the wall. Have fun with the layout.
Step 3: Trace it out.
Once you have the pieces laid out the way you like them, trace around them with a marker. Don't forget to label each traced frame with a brief description of the photo so that you don't forget when you go to put them on the wall! For ease when hanging, mark where the nail or screw needs to go with an x.
Step 4: Mock it up.
Cut out the traced pieces. Using painter's tape, a level and measuring tape, arrange the paper cutouts on the wall. Again, it will be easiest to start with the largest piece and build out.
Once all pieces are on the wall, take a step back. Ask yourself, does the grouping fit with the nearby furniture? How is the height and the space between pieces? Does the gallery fill the space appropriately? Is there room for growth if I would like to add more pieces down the road? This step is optional, but will alleviate the need for patching errors.
Step 5: Nail & hang.
One of the perks of using the paper mockup method is that you can mark exactly where the nail needs to go on the paper (step 3). Depending on what your wall is made of, use either a hammer or drill to place a nail or screw in the marked location. If you are in a temporary space like us and don't want to patch holes down the road, there are many great adhesive products that will temporarily hang your frames.
Once the nails or screws are in place, tear away the tape and paper. Now the best part - hanging your photos!
Step 6: Sit back and enjoy!
Remember there are no real guidelines or rules when creating a gallery wall—it's all up to you. Feel free to add or take away pieces as you go on, keeping the artwork relevant to your life.
Ours is a constant work in progress, but I am so happy with how it has transformed our space from temporary to home.
How do you make your space feel like home?

5 Baby Products I'm Loving
Oh hey, it's Friday already. Or so my computer tells me...
It's amazing the amount of baby products that are out there. I remember the first time we visited Babies R Us to register, it was like being a little kid in a candy store. So many cute outfits, innovative products and fancy gadgets! How's a pregnant woman to decide what's actually worth it and what's just for fun? We constantly had to ask ourselves
what do we want
what do we absolutely need?
The things we need are a constant work in progress, but at 3 weeks in to this whole mom & dad thing, we've definitely found some favourites that have made life with baby a little easier on all 3 of us.
The list of favourite and most-used items will obviously vary from mom to mom, baby to baby and family to family, but here are the
5 baby products I'm loving lately
1 | The Mommy Hook
Out and about with baby? Do you struggle to find space for your bags in your already loaded stroller? The Mommy Hook is a must have! This extra large carabiner, made from heavy duty aluminum, simply hooks onto the handle of your stroller and can easily be loaded with bags, giving you hands-free control. The Mommy Hook comes in a variety of colours.
2 |
Carter's Zip-Up Sleepers
Since most of Baby Morley's time is spent eating, sleeping and pooping these days, she has been living in sleepers. With the chilly weather, my favourite have been the fleece zip-ups from Carter's. Carter's also has snap-up sleepers, but when you're exhausted and doing a midnight diaper change, possibly even in the dark, no one has time for snaps. My husband is the king of speedy diaper changes, and I know he would agree - zipper is better.
While Carter's sleepers are affordable to begin with, make sure to hit up the clearance racks, and don't forget to plan ahead for when baby is older. We found sleepers and other clothing items at a fraction ($3-$4 each!) on the clearance rack.
3 | Sleep Sheep
Does your little one have trouble sleeping? With its hidden sound machine and 8 soothing sounds and melodies (mother's heartbeat, spring showers, ocean surf, whale songs, twinkle twinkle and more), the Sleep Sheep is the perfect companion to help soothe children to sleep. It has a convenient velcro strap to attach to the side of the crib and keep sleeping baby safe. Our apartment can be quite noisy during the day, so I love the Sleep Sheep because it helps drown out noise from outside, other apartments and even my moving around.
4 | aden + anais Swaddles
These swaddles are by far my favourite item. The muslin material is durable, breathable and light-weight, and can be used as a stroller cover, burp cloth, nursing cover and swaddle. Morley is not a fan of sleeping on her back, which, at first, made sleep time a bit difficult. We finally learned that swaddling her before bed helps tremendously, and mom and dad are very thankful for that. Swaddles come in a variety of prints.
5 | Boon NAKED Two-Position Collapsible Baby Bathtub
Bath time is not Morley's favourite, but the Boon NAKED Collapsible Bathub definitely makes it easier for us. NAKED is the perfect tub for infants to toddlers. Its one piece design makes transitioning between stages easy - reclining to cradle newborns and expanding for sitting babies and toddlers. With this tub, bath time can be easily given on any flat surface, which for us means the living room floor. When not in use, the tub folds flat for easy storage, and has a hook to hang. NAKED comes in blue and green.
Have you tried any of these products? What baby products do you recommend?
Disclaimer: I was in no way compensated for this post, I am simply sharing products I love. If any of these companies would like to provide product for review, I would definitely not be opposed. All opinions are 100% my own.

April Showers...
April showers bring..... snow?! Seriously. The forecast is calling for snow this weekend. I'm starting to feel like a chicken, cooped up because Mother Nature can't decide what to do and baby and I can't get outside to go for a walk. Despite the first day of spring officially arriving almost 3 weeks ago, the weather has been anything but spring-like. Par for the course with a virtually snow-less winter, I guess.
Luckily, it will pass. And in the meantime, I'll just dream up my
spring bucket list
1. Patio season.
2. Strolls with the fam to Evergreen Brickworks Saturday market.
3. Bonfires and sunsets by the lake at my parents.
But seriously, how gorgeous is this view?
What's on your spring bucket list?
This month's Small Town Sponsor Spotlight is extra special because like me, these two lovely ladies also call the province of Ontario home, and are especially familiar with the crummy weather we've been having so far this spring.
Take it away ladies...
Finish this sentence in your own way: "April showers..."
bring a mix of snow and rain with a low of -4. Seriously. Spring in Canada is just one long April Fools joke.
What are 3 things on your spring 2016 bucket list?
Three things on my spring 2016 bucket list are…1. Shave my legs. It's been a long, cold winter and it's time to release the hounds. 2. Pack away all of my winter clothes. And by pack away I mean put the clothes in a bin, but keep it accessible because we all know i'll be pulling out my mitts again by mid-April. 3. Plan an adventure. If there's anything you need know about me, it's that if there's an adventure involved, I'm in. I live in one of the best places in Ontario to go on outdoor adventures, so hopefully I'll get to go hiking up a mountain or crawling through waterfall caves before it gets too hot to breathe.

Bringing Home Baby: New Family Survival Kit
This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. #SkinCareForBaby
Bringing home baby is such a surreal experience. One minute you are a family of two, and then all of a sudden you have a tiny human to take care of. Lots of big changes.
The past two weeks have been a whirlwind, and slowly, the fog is starting to lift. A huge THANK YOU to everyone for their messages about the arrival of our little beauty, Morley. She may only be 2 weeks old, but she sure is loved.
When it came to 'surviving' the first week at home with baby, there were many items that came in handy. Do you know someone that's expecting? A
new family survival kit
is a quick and easy way to add some help and cheer to those first few days, or weeks, with baby. Give this kit at a baby shower, take it to the hospital when you visit or have it waiting for the new family when they get home. No matter when you share it, it will be greatly appreciated. Trust me.
How to Make a "New Family Survival Kit"
The list of what to include in the basket can go on and on, but to keep it simple and useful, here are a few things to include for mom, dad and baby, and some fun, non-essentials:
Items for mom:
Reusable water bottle, nipple cream, sanitary pads, witch hazel, nursing pads, razors, epsom salts
Items for mom & dad:
Hand soap, hand sanitizer, hand moisturizer, toothpaste, phone charger, snacks
Items for baby:
Sleepers and onesies, towels and baby soap, swaddle blankets, soothers, petroleum jelly, diapers, wipes, vitamin D drops (if breastfeeding), socks, hat & mittens
Other fun, optional items to include:
mom & dad coffee mugs, single use coffee pods, journal, nail polish and file, non-alcoholic bubbly, hard books, baby toy
1. To create this 'survival kit', first find a basket large enough for all of the goodies.
2. Add some tissue paper to the bottom of the basket.
3. Place larger items in the back, with smaller items towards the front, so that every item is visible.
4. Fill any empty spaces with extra tissue.
5. Either gift basket as is, or wrap with clear cellophane and bow.
6. Feel free to add or subtract items as per your choice and need.
7. If you know what gender the baby is, you can always tailor the basket.
Since Morley was born, we have tried several different diaper brands trying to find "the one". I can truthfully say, Huggies
has the other brands beat.
Huggies® Little Snugglers Diapers
(sizes N-3) have a built-in colour-changing wetness indicator that lets you know when baby's diaper is ready to be changed, without having to remove it, and the
GentleAbsorb Liner (sizes N-2) has tiny, soft pillows that provide a cushiony layer of protection.
The umbilical cord cutout makes them perfect for newborns because they are perfectly shaped to protect healing little belly buttons.
I am very
conscious of what I put on my own skin, and also want what's best for baby's. I was drawn to
Huggies® Natural Care Wipes
because they are hypoallergenic and fragrance-free, perfect for new, sensitive skin. The
TripleClean* Layers are thick enough to handle any mess, with a texture that's soft against your baby's skin.
These two
Huggies® products are best utilized as one solution to deliver great skin care for baby.
Huggies® Little Snugglers Diapers (Jumbo Pack) and Natural Care Wipes (64 sheets)
can be found in the baby section at your local Walmart. Walmart has a great selection of all things baby - from sleepers and onesies to diapers and wipes - and thanks to their great value, has helped us stock up on all of the essentials.
Have you used
Huggies® Little Snugglers Diapers or Natural Care Wipes
? What would you add to a "New Family Survival Kit"?

True Jedi: Lightsaber Fighting is now a Sport
March 19, 2019
In France, the French Fencing Federation has officially recognized lightsaber fighting as a competitive sport. If you've ever wanted to fight like the Jedi Knights in the Star Wars movies, your dreams can now be fulfilled.
To participate in the sport, competitors must use an LED polycarbonate stick as a lightsaber. These obviously won't be capable of slicing an opponent in half, but they do have the same characteristics as the lightsabers that the Jedi Knights use in the movies. Thanks to Star Wars books, movies, and video games, the sport is well publicized.
Although competitive lightsaber fighting may sound silly, there are some rules that the "Jedi" must follow. Contestants must wear masks and armor for protection, and follow strict guidelines as to where they can hit opponents. A hit to the head or body is worth five points, hits to the arms or legs are worth three points, and hits to the hands are worth one point. The first competitor to score fifteen points wins. In order to score points, the "Jedi" must swing the sword behind them like the Jedis in the films originally created by George Lucas.
Hopefully, this sport will also help with a growing world epidemic, childhood obesity. In theory, lightsaber fighting will get children up and moving, while still having fun.Kids of all ages can participate in this new sport, and little kids can learn how to use the lightsabers from older "Jedi Knights".
So far, the sport only has a few hundred participants, but is gaining followers quickly. However, don't expect lightsaber fighting to be an Olympic sport anytime soon….

Judicial Panel Denies Plaintiff Request, Objected to by Defense Attorneys and Other Plaintiff's Counsel, for Pretrial Coordination of Class Action Lawsuits Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1407 because Only Three Class Actions were Pending, Issues were not "Sufficiently Complex and/or Numerous" to Warrant Centralization, and Alternatives Existed to Minimize Risk of Duplicative Discovery or Inconsistent Pretrial Rulings
Three class action lawsuits were filed against Circuit City (one in California, one in Florida and one in New York) arising out of defendants' business practices in charging restocking fees; California plaintiff's lawyer filed a motion with the Judicial Panel for Multidistrict Litigation (MDL) requesting centralization of the class actions pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1407 in the Middle District of Florida, or alternatively in California or New York. In re Circuit City Stores, Inc., Restocking Fee Sales Practices Litig., ___ F.Supp.2d ___ (Jud.Pan.Mult.Lit. December 14, 2007) [Slip Opn., at 1]. Defense attorneys opposed pretrial coordination of the class action lawsuits, and New York plaintiff's lawyer opposed the motion (alternatively requesting centralization in New York). Id. The Judicial Panel denied the motion, stating that "Section 1407 centralization would not necessarily serve the convenience of the parties and witnesses or further the just and efficient conduct of this litigation," and finding that California plaintiff's lawyer had failed to demonstrate that "any common questions of fact are sufficiently complex and/or numerous to justify Section 1407 transfer in this docket at this time." Id. The Panel additionally observed that "[a]lternatives to transfer exist that can minimize whatever possibilities there might be of duplicative discovery and/or inconsistent pretrial rulings." Id. Accordingly, the Panel refused to centralization the class actions. Id., at 1-2.
NOTE: The fact that this motion involved only three class action lawsuits was not dispositive: We have summarized opinions where the MDL Judicial Panel has centralized litigation involving only two or three pending lawsuits.

Tooth Baby is a rhythm/stealth game, where a tooth-like creature infiltrates a cult-like base to find a sacrifice meant for the tooth fairy. The player blends in with the cultists by imitating the gestures and chanting that the cultists are performing. If the player is caught infiltrating, the cultists chase the player until either the player escapes to the next level via stairs, or the cultists catch the player and ends the game as a loss for the player. Once the player interacts with the sacrifice before the tooth fairy does, on the fifth/boss level, the player must run to the final exit and escape successfully to win. The player controls their tooth using the following keyboard buttons: move using Up/Down/Left/Right arrow keys, gestures using A/S/D/F (easily mistaken for WASD), and chant using the Space Bar. Please keep in mind, I was unable to finish the game. It lacks a main menu and the proper mechanics to keep the player engaged, as well as a proper tutorial and failure state. Regardless, I'm glad that the game turned out the way that it did. I hope you enjoy what's there! :]

A very merry Saturday morning at Target, 1700 East Rand Road, as Arlington Heights Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 80 took ten children Christmas and holiday shopping through the aisles.
At 6:45 a.m. about 20 Arlington Heights police officers helped children by gifts for their families. Each police officer had an assigned child with the help of a grant from Target. the police officers helped out with the budgeting, as each child was given a $100 gifts card. A few police officers helped out of their own pockets when a few children were a little over budget. One child said he arrived at the store a few days ago for an afternoon to plan ahead for today.
Arlington Heights Police Sgt. Al Baumgartner helps on his Merry Assignment Saturday morning at Target, 1700 East Rand Road (See full photo album …).
Target employees were in the spirit, as all in attendance had a great time.
Hersey High School sent at least 20 students — many part of SOS (Service Over Self organization). Teachers at John Hersey High School also put the word out for any students that wanted to help with shopping and gift wrapping.
Arlington Heights Police Officer Pete Hamrick coordinated the efforts of police officers and students.
The event started at 6:45 a.m. sharp, just before the store opened with its special hours of 7:00 am. to midnight from 12/21/2013 to 12/23/2013. Several early shoppers asked how police officer Michael McEvoy was doing, and extended their Get Well wishes. McEvoy is on the road to recovery after being shot in the chin and neck on Thursday, December 12, 2013.

A super-talented young singer/songwriter from Queensland makes her Blues Tram Debut while a well established Victorian bluesman returns to ride the rails in October 2019.
Enjoy the sights of Bendigo's architecturally stunning CBD from on board the sensationally restored vintage W Class tram, while being serenaded by two great acts:
Karrie Hayward:
When you blend the rich, soulful vocal tones with the vibrant, percussive timbre of a guitar, you get Karrie Hayward. Drawing inspiration from blues music and guitar heroes such as John Mayer, Buddy Guy, BB King; to the more 'chilled' sounds of Jack Johnson and Tash Sultana, Karrie's own style is a blend of the best parts of folk, pop, alt and blues.
Jarrod Shaw:
Jarrod Shaw possesses a passion and appreciation for blues music that becomes obvious from the moment the first note sounds. He delivers a soulful blues inspired show, performed with conviction.
Jarrod was born and raised in country Victoria, down the dirt roads of the Macedon Ranges. He taught himself to play guitar listening to the renowned blues greats, as well as the icons of the Australian and local Melbourne blues scene.
Performing countless solo gigs has aided Jarrod in developing a musical style of his own. He blends his unique guitar approach lying somewhere between piedmont fingerstyle and the blues of the delta, with a powerful voice often described as belying his years. At times he even wails away on a racked blues harp – all at once without missing a beat. If you close your eyes you might even believe there's more than one person performing…
Saturday October 12th
Blues Tram, feat: Karrie Hayward + Jarrod Shaw
Departing Central Deborah Goldmine (76 Violet Street) at 2pm, returning 4:15pm.
Tix: $39 from Bendigo Visitor Centre 1800 813 513 or online here: https://www.bendigotourism.com/tours/bendigo-cbd/bendigo-blues-tram

Strictly no BYO. Drinks and snacks available for purchase.
The Blues Tram is organised and staged by Bendigo Blues & Roots Music Festival Inc, a not-for-profit organisation run by volunteers.
Please Note:
This is a music appreciation event – a mobile concert. For the enjoyment of all patrons, any rowdy or loud behavior will not be tolerated. Event management reserves the right to refuse admission or evict patrons if requests to manage behavior are not complied with; in this unlikely event, tickets of offenders will be forfeited and no refund will be available.

If your accounting year-end is 31st March and you operate an innovative business, the deadline for claiming a Research and Development (R&D) tax credit for your 2015/16 accounting period is nearly here.
Many companies are surprised to learn that they qualify for this valuable source of funding. So, it always pays to check. If you have developed new or improved products, processes, or services, you may be carrying out qualifying activity.
According to HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC), which administers the incentives, the average R&D tax credit value to small and medium size businesses (SMEs) is £61,314. That's cash that could spark the next big project or fund the final push in creating something remarkable.
When is the deadline to claim my Research and Development Tax Credit?
You have two years from the end of your accounting period to submit an R&D tax credit claim for qualifying expenditure you've incurred in that period. So, if you miss the deadline at midnight on 31st March 2018, you can no longer recoup any of the money spent on qualifying activities between 1st April 2015 and 31st March 2016.
If you have already made a claim for this period but want to be sure you haven't missed out on any untapped value, this same deadline applies for reviewing a claim too.
How do they work?
R&D tax credits are a Government tax incentive designed to encourage innovation in the UK. The Government rewards limited companies that are innovating because it knows that doing so brings significant benefits to the wider UK economy.
As a tax incentive, R&D tax credits are only available to limited companies.
You also must be undertaking research and development and have spent money on it. Examples of R&D include:
- Developing a new lighter-weight material to improve efficiency
- Using AI and machine learning to develop chatbots
- Building a bespoke e-commerce platform
What are they worth to my business?
How much R&D tax credits are worth depends on how much money you have spent on qualifying R&D activity. You can potentially include the following costs in your claim: staff, subcontractors, materials, and consumables (such as heat, light and power).
As an SME, you could claim up to 33p for every £1 you have spent on qualifying activity if you are loss making. Profit-making SMEs can claim up to 26p for every £1 spent on qualifying R&D. The average claim value for SMEs in the UK is £61,314, and for some, it can be much more. SMEs claiming R&D tax credits receive their benefit as a Corporation Tax reduction and/or cash credit.
Don't let your grant funding stop you
There is a misconception that the receipt of a Government grant prevents you from claiming R&D tax credits. This is not true.
If you are grant-funded, you should certainly consider claiming R&D tax credits. How much your R&D tax credit is worth will depend on the nature of your grant – and whether you are able to make a claim via the R&D tax credit scheme for SMEs, large company scheme (RDEC) or a hybrid claim. The interaction between grants and R&D tax credits can be complicated, but with expert advice you can ensure your funding position is fully maximised.
How to claim and beat your 31st March deadline
It's best to work with true experts in this specialist area when submitting a claim. They will optimise the value of your claim. This means including everything that is valid, while also ensuring it can be robustly backed up should HMRC challenge it.
TaxAssist Accountants has access to an award-winning R&D tax credit consultancy, Forrest Brown. Their team of chartered tax advisers is complemented by industry experts and former HMRC R&D unit tax inspectors and will manage your claim on your behalf. They will gather information from you about your business, prepare all the paperwork and liaise with HMRC for you.
If you would like to learn more, please get in touch with your local TaxAssist Accountant on 020 3196 4888 or use our simple online request form.

Vona Groarke: 'If you want to change things, stand for election. Poems aren't part of that'
'Poetry's response must be to remain true to itself rather than rush into rhetoric," says the poet, who tonight will receive the 2017 Hennessy Hall of Fame award for outstanding contribution to literature

"Slogans drive me crazy," says Vona Groarke. She's talking about divisive catch-cries like "We want our country back" and "America first" and whether with democracy under threat poetry has a responsibility to become political.
"I'm tremendously interested in politics but I come out in a rash at the idea of being a political poet. If you want to change things, stand for election. Go on and do it. Put yourself out there and fight your fight. But don't think writing a poem is part of that."
Since her breakthrough in New Irish Writing in 1993 when she won the Hennessy Poetry and Writer of the Year awards, Groarke has emerged as one of the most formidable poets of her generation. Her six collections with the Gallery Press, culminating last autumn with Selected Poems, shimmer with haunting rhythms and formal brilliance. Her work has appeared in Yale Review, the New Yorker, Kenyon Review, Boston Review and the Guardian. Tonight she will receive the 2017 Hennessy Hall of Fame award for her outstanding contribution to literature.
"What is the value of lyric poetry?" she asks. "Is there a place for it to be just itself?" We meet in a Dublin restaurant, just around the corner from Trinity College where she first struggled to find herself as a writer. "Must poetry be louder, must it be more active, more politically and socially engaged? I can't bring myself to believe that the answer to this is yes. Poetry's response must be to remain true to itself rather than rush into rhetoric. Poems shouldn't be about getting a point across."
She ruefully recalls joining a street protest in Manchester, where she has lectured in poetry for the past 10 years. "Everyone was chanting 'Heigh ho, heigh ho, Donald Trump has got to go'. Several things bothered me about it. The automatic full rhyme hurt my ears, and the sense of it offended me even more. What do you mean by that? That you want a re-election? But you can't have that. And have you had a look at Mike Pence recently? So why use language that you know is empty of meaning?"
She laughs. "I realised then I wasn't very good at protests."
The value of words means everything to Groarke. "Language is hugely important in and of itself and not just as a vehicle for communication. Attention to language can change the experience of life."
The strength of her poetry is its ability to avoid being compromised by ready labels. Her 1994 debut collection Shale (1994) shows the influence of Elizabeth Bishop in its formalism and idea that a poem is what is on the page and nothing more, but this hasn't held her back from personal nuances. Her recurring themes of houses and interior spaces, on the other hand, achieve a sensual intimacy without ever straying into so-called confessional poetry as embraced by Anne Sexton, for whom poetry seemed a form of ongoing autobiography.
Putting poetry into that or any other category, whether of gender, ethnicity, nation or religion, diminishes it. "It's a way of saying the story of the poet is more interesting than the poetry, which is not the way I see it. I don't think the story of my life is particularly interesting. I live a life that would be familiar to thousands of my age. My biography is not that interesting or unique. All I do that is different is being a poet. In so far as it is distinctive, it is the thing that makes me."
Groarke grew up on a farm in Ballymahon on the river Inny, a Co Longford town outside Athlone with one of the widest streets in Ireland. "There was a ring fort on our land. To sit in the middle of it you couldn't help but imagine other times and people. Near us was Oliver Goldsmith's parsonage, a stone structure not lived in any more, just like The Deserted Village."
She was enthralled by her mother's stories, an American whose grandmother had a boarding house in Manhattan on the edge of Harlem. "She had been very close to her grandmother and never stopped missing her. She loved to talk about those years. They became part of my imaginary landscape, a vibrant place teaming with life and maybe more real to me than living on a farm."
Groarke's father was a solicitor with a practice in Longford town. "We were a legal family. So I think language was always there, an awareness of the potential of what words mean and how they are defined and interpreted."
Although born in a nursing home that was once the family home of the 19th-century writer Maria Edgeworth, she laughs off any literary link. "Thousand s of others born there could make the same claim." She never lived in Edgeworthstown, nor in Athlone, which she evokes in a brilliantly sustained 138-line river poem Athlones (Juniper Street, 2006) that flows with multiple memories and associations. "It was where we went for the big shop or meal out. It was where we went to do something special. It represented glamour."
She began writing poems at primary school. "One of my teachers came to a poetry workshop of mine years later after Other People's Houses (1999) had been published and produced a copy-book with first poems. Mine was My House. Although I always loved English I don't think I ever thought I would be a poet. If somebody had taught me how to write a poem and if I had been able to produce a complete poem from the get-go I don't think I would ever have become a poet. It was by writing badly and trying to write better that it happened. I sort of fell into it."
Fortnight published her first poem and soon after she sent a poem about Newton's telescope to me at New Irish Writing in 1993 that demanded to be published. It prompted Peter Fallon at the Gallery Press to accept her first collection, Shale. She has been published by Gallery ever since.
Poets have to take other jobs to pay bills. She took up teaching posts with her then husband Conor O'Callaghan at Villanova University – an experience that inspired An American Jay (Spindrift 2009) – and then Wake Forest University in North Carolina where their children Tommy and Eve went to school, deep in a conservative America where classmates were allowed carry semi-automatic guns. For the past 10 years she has taught at the Centre for New Writing at the University of Manchester.
Her Selected Poems has a Martin Gale painting of a bird's nest on the cover. "There's something about the idea of a Selected that you're pulling poems from all different places, a bit like the way a nest is constructed." The 58 poems range from the obliquely political Imperial Measure, triggered by a letter from PH Pearse about providing meals for the insurgents, to the touchingly familial Maize and Tonight of Yesterday (Flight 2002), dedicated to her children.
Although not all in the same style, they flow almost like a single piece. "Choosing them was an opportunity to look back and take stock. You wonder what are the things that are left for you to try that you have not tried before." She smiles ruefully. "Perhaps a new book will tell me."
Ciarán Carty is editor of New Irish Writing, which appears in The Irish Times on the last Saturday of each month

Look what my Client's have said about my consultations!
"Asking Niamh O Sullivan to advise on our house was the best investment I ever made in our house. I just wish I had done it when we first bought the house. Her very practical suggestions greatly improved how we made use of our space. It was great to have an advisor who had both an artistic eye and engineering expertise!" - Ursula Earley, Sundays Well, Cork
"Niamh's consultation service is fab– definitely what I needed! I got lots and lots of ideas, have spent hours on websites over the weekend – even started with paint testers. We have a lot to think about but for the first time ever, I'm excited about decorating – that truly is a first for me! I absolutely loved some of her ideas. I really enjoyed talking to her and her approach is great. I'll definitely recommend her to others!" - Eithne Olahan, Mallow, Co.Cork
"I was redecorating a room recently and decided to get some help from Niamh and I was delighted I did. Niamh called to the house for a two-hour visit and we decided everything there and then. It was a room off the kitchen my children use and everyone that comes to the house admires the room. With Niamh's help I chose a colour scheme I would not have been able to put together myself. We had a bit of time to spare and Niamh gave me great tips on other rooms so overall, I was very happy with the service." - Fionnuala Redmond, Cohh, Cork.
"I would highly recommend the call out visit which took about 2 hours or so. It was great value for our money. We rearranged the furniture in the living area as recommended & the difference it made to us was fantastic. We love the sung that it has created for watching TV. I now actually sit down for a chill out & watch TV in the evenings. We are very grateful to you." - Michelle Wilmot, Douglas, Cork
"I might have got the walls to the right colour eventually but you've saved me many tins of paint and hours of painting" - Teesha Fitzgerald, Blarney, Cork

The 13 Days of Halloween: "The Scariest Songs" Hi Folks! Here is my suggestion for Number 6: What's yours? #6: Sympathy For the Devil The Rolling Stones, 1968 Same Set Playlist: The Devil Went Down to Georgia – Charlie Daniels Band Running from the Devil – Ohio Players Do You Wanna Get Funky With Me – Peter Brown "So if you meet me have some courtesy Have some sympathy, have some taste Use all your well-earned politesse Or I'll lay your soul to waste" Who needs a Devil with a Blue Dress when the real Master of Mischief is around? He always seems to be in the right place at the right time to take part in history's worst episodes. And all he needs to open his playground is an idle mind. When Old Scratch isn't enjoying human misery, he's facilitating it by making deals that always contain poetically damnable consequences. Woo Woo!! The Stones no longer perform the song live because, as Mick Jagger once noted, " . . . something very funny happens when we start that number." But contrary to legend, they were not playing it when violence erupted at the Altamont concert.

Out & About: A visit to The Armoury NYC
In the same way that our online personas are rarely identical to the way we live "IRL", I have found that stores usually offer very different experiences between their online presence and physical locations. On the one hand, there are great stores that have existed for decades and are just now beginning to realize the power of e-commerce. On the other, you have stores that dominate the internet but have a physical presence that doesn't do the product justice. There are many degrees of this, but one thing is consistent: a store may have a great web presence or a great physical presence, but it is very rare to have both.
The Armoury seems to be the exception to this rule, as their new store in New York is a flawless extension of the brand's powerful presence abroad and online.
The Armoury's NYC store had its soft opening late last year, and it has been wonderful to watch the company's presence develop in the USA. The store itself is an amazing place - it's a tall, narrow shop in the TriBeCa neighborhood, with beautiful displays, artwork, and architecture. And, unsurprisingly, all the products in the store are easy on the eyes too.
On the off chance that some of you that aren't familiar, the Armoury was founded in 2010 by Mark Cho, Alan See, and Ethan Newton. They had a shared vision for a men's store with a classic, yet international flavor - they have worked hard to bring in unique goods from all over the world, and each one is exceptional. Their selective list of artisans and designers speaks for itself and you should familiarize yourself with it if you haven't already.
The new NYC store has some familiar names on its roster, as well - Jeff Hilliard of jhilla, Zach Jobe (who ran the NYC styleforum trunk show), Jeremy Kirkland of Run of the Mill fame, and Nick Ragosta (whom most of you have seen all over tumblr). They've done a great job of bringing the new store up to the level of the original one without making an exact duplicate; you will see many of the same artisans in the two stores, but there is nothing to suggest that the new one is just a satellite location.
Of course, when you're limiting your store to only carrying the best of the best, the tradeoff is that things will get expensive. With that said, the Armoury carries many brands that, despite their price, still provide a great value (in my opinion). For instance, Carmina shoes and Ring Jacket suits are not cheap, but hold up to garments well above their price in terms of quality and design. Dollar for dollar they're some of the best out there, and I had certainly never heard of them before the Armoury men brought the brands into their store.
And, of course, the Armoury's shelves are stocked with items for the true ballers among us - St. Crispin's shoes, Jean Russeau leather goods, Orazio Luciano jackets, and more, not to mention the frequent visits from traveling artisans like Liverano and Ambrosi. The stock may vary in style and price, but everything in the store is of exceptional quality and would be a beautiful addition to even the most discerning wardrobe.
Over the past few years it has been wonderful watching the Armourers craft their wonderful "house style;" they have introduced so many exceptional brands to menswear nerds across the world and have taught us a lot about dressing well in the process. Although I'll have to save up a while before buying anything in this store, I can still confidently say that these men have taught me quite a bit about dressing simply and classically (which, as you know, is the cornerstone of what I write about here).
Nobody can deny the incredible appeal of the Armoury's selection of goods; their store is probably the only one in the world in which I would be happy to wear anything from their shelves. Even so, what I find makes this company so unique is the people. They feel a bit like kindred spirits to me - these aren't salesmen, they're clothes nerds. Most of them came from backgrounds very far away from the retail world - finance, law, tech, and so on - and took a big leap (and a big risk) to turn their hobby into their job. Each person on their team brings a crucial talent to the company, and they all share the trait of being wildly passionate about what they do. I have a huge amount of respect for people like that, and it's wonderful to see the Armoury team's hard work pay off.
It's difficult for me to capture in words how amazing the store is, so I'll just post some photos instead. Do stop by if you're in New York, and tell everyone I say hi while you're there.

Kids are very dumb. But also very smart. And quite sweet.
Take Tara. First, she would provoke Mrini to the point of no return. Then Mrini would bite her or commit some such other atrocity upon her. Then, regardless of the severity of the offense, Tara would go howling blue murder to seek retribution (or vengeance) in the shape of an irate parent. I soon opted out of the fray by telling her to work it out herself. Moms tend to be callous that way. Dads are a softer sell. Amit would step in at once to redress all wrongs – real as well as exaggerated. It became such a pattern that one day when Tara came running to me for help and I gave her the cold shoulder, she told me indignantly through her sobs, "Wait till Baba comes home. I'll tell Baba. Baba will scold Mrini."
I'd already realized that she was playing Amit like a piano, but hearing her think it out like that was a bit of a shock. And she did it too – when Amit came home 15-20 minutes later, she ran to him straightaway with her tearful tale of woes. So Amit and I had a long talk and though he wasn't really convinced by me, he agreed to "try" to keep out of the kids' battles, no matter what. It was immensely difficult for him, because he was convinced that the girls would and could do real damage to each other. I, on the other hand, thought they wouldn't.
For a couple of days, it was a toss-up. Tara found, to her dismay that she could no longer co-opt her beloved Baba into her battles and she didn't have any other weapon in her armory. Mrini found that she no longer had to worry about being hauled up by Amit and she, obviously, wanted to test the limits of this new situation to see how far she could go. It was, in fact, tough to stay with the strategy and trust her to set her limits herself. But somehow the three of them worked things out and it's been maybe three weekends since we put this new strategy in place and things seem to have settled down now. I don't know how Tara is managing to hold her own against Mrini's bullying, but I suspect that it is some combination of various factors: Tara is less provocative now that her guardian doesn't get involved; Mrini is less violent, now that it doesn't get her any negative attention; and perhaps Tara is just opting out of situations before they become very sticky.
That's the smart part.
This part is dumb.
Tara: Mrini, why every day you open the car? Every single day you open the car. Today I will open the car.
Mrini: No, yesterday you opened the car.
Tara: No, no, yesterday you only opened the car. Today can I open the car? Please?
Mrini: Ok, today you open the car in the morning. I'll open the car at daycare.
Tara: Yes, ok Mrini. Today I'll open the car and you open the car in the evening.
Mrini: Tara, no, Tara, ok, Tara, I'll tell you something. Today I'll open the car in the morning and you open the car in the evening. Ok, Tara?
Tara: Ok. Ok, Mrini. That is a good idea. You open the car in the morning, I'll open the car in the evening.
And that's what they do. Every single day.
Tara does this time and again – challenges the status quo and then, when victory is her, relinquishes it in favour of status quo. She does this for selecting music for the drive; for deciding who gets to read the Winnie-the-Pooh book first (it accompanies the CD we play in the car and whoever reads it second only gets a few minutes because then we reach school; whoever reads it first gets the whole first story – 11 minutes); even for deciding which colour of shirt, shorts, toothbrushes, or shoes they will pick from two that are identical apart from colour. This girl really needs to work on her negotiation skills (and maybe on her logical thinking skills as well).
Then there's the sweet part.
I hadn't realized the extent to which the kids pick up things from us – like values and attitudes. They have realized, of late, that there are a whole lot of things I can't eat. Mrini, in particular, often asks very solicitously whether the doctor has allowed me to eat this or that and whether it has maida in it. This is touching.
Now our home has a small patch of lawn running around two sides. It's a very very small patch – a couple of feet wide on one side, and maybe six feet or so in front. It also has not been tended to in living memory, so it is basically an overgrown patch of weeds and three small and unruly trees. Our landlord, who comes by every month to pick up the rent cheque in person (he's the old-fashioned type, doesn't believe in net banking) asked us why we hadn't had the garden cleaned up. I just shrugged – it wasn't, by my standards, messy. Well, maybe, only a little. Apparently, he asked our downstairs neighbours too and apparently they took him seriously. When I went down on Sunday evening, I found, to my shock, that our unruly undergrowth had been crudely and completely removed. Now, instead of walking over a green bed of weeds, we walked over hard, dry earth. What's more, the trees were gone. They'd been butchered down to bare trunks, about my height. They hadn't been very large trees in any case, but they formed a nice arch of greenery over my head and provided a bit of screening from the road. Now our home looked undressed, naked.
On Monday morning, the kids saw it. They were shocked. "That's so sad!" said Mrini, looking hurt. "That's so sad!" She wasn't parroting our words; she wasn't parroting our thoughts. This was a thought of her own – she was genuinely shocked and sad to see our garden stripped of its greenery. Tara informed me that she had seen the "uncle" doing the work yesterday, from our bedroom window. "I didn't ask his name because he wasn't a nice uncle because he took away the pants," she said. It took me a moment to figure out she meant "plants".
And then Mrini's excitement over going to Calcutta. She's not excited about attending a wedding for the first time ever. She's not very excited about meeting all the family members that she remembers. What she's really excited about is:
Mrini: Mama, today is a school day? (while we were driving to school)
Me: Yes, it's Monday.
Mrini: Tomorrow also we have to go to school?
Me: Tomorrow you're going to Calcutta!
Mrini: But N has to go to school? (Her long-standing best-friend, boyfriend)
Me: yes.
Mrini: It's a holiday for me but not for N. N has to go to school. N will miss me.
Hmmm… Never too young to want to be missed!

My 14-month old grandson, Blake, came to our family Christmas gathering wearing a tiny sweatshirt with a picture of a young boy playing baseball and the words, "I'm The Big Brother," emblazoned across the front.
In all the excitement of the day, I didn't pay much attention to the shirt at first. I knew there was an charitable organization in Nashville called the Big Brothers, and I figured Blake's mom and dad had made a Christmastime contribution to the charity and perhaps gotten the shirt in return.

The Top Source for Roof Replacement & Repairs
The best way to prevent roof leaks is to get more education about what causes a roof leak. The best way to get roof leak repairs done is to call your local roofer, Chief Roofing Inc. Many homeowners don't realize they have problems until they see a stain on the ceiling. By then, damage may have already occurred. Let's first go over how to prevent the need for roof leak repairs.
Versatile Roof Replacement & Repair Service
The metal strips that create a barrier between the roof and transitions and/or penetrations at the walls, skylights or chimneys are called flashings. Roof leak repairs can be necessary when flashing become corroded, cracked or when the flashing is just missing altogether.
The sealant can also deteriorate around the nails. Nails can then back out and cause leaks. This allows water to seep under shingles. Chief Roofing Inc. includes installation of new steel flashing for skylights, brick chimneys, walls, and dormers in our estimates for new roofs. At Chief Roofing Inc. we use government style installation for all penetrations. Help prevent the need for roof leak repairs and make sure your roofer does not use exposed nails for penetrations.
Roof Repairs and Prevention
The number one method to prevent roof leaks is keeping your roof clean and healthy. Just doing this will go a long way to preventing the need for roof leak repairs. You should have regular cleanings for both the roof and gutters. Gutter guards help keep the gutters clear, but even they need cleaning maintenance. We suggest 2 to 3 times a year, especially in the fall. Routine inspections help as well; you should have your roof inspected by a professional roofer every 3 to 4 years. Whenever there is a hail storm or high winds in your area, you should have your roof inspected immediately after. A roof inspection can make roof leak repairs unnecessary. Go to our Cleaning and Inspection pages for more information.
Do You Need a Roof Repair?
You notice a leak. Can it be repaired? You need to take action immediately. The longer you wait the more damage could be done and the more it could cost to repair. Chief Roofing Inc. will do an inspection and locate the leak. We will give you a free estimate and many times, repair the leak in the same visit if approved of.
A roof leak does not necessarily mean you need a new roof. Sometimes when you need roof leak repairs, you just need to fix the roof and not replace the roof. You should always get an assessment by a professional roofer. Some leaks may be fixed for little money compared to the cost of a new roof. Roof leak repairs done well can add years to the life of your roof. Most small roof leak repairs range from $275 to $875 in cost. We proudly provide roof repair service to clients throughout the Durham, Chapel Hill, Wake Forest, Cary, Carrboro, and Raleigh, NC areas.

Watch Awesome New Harriet Tubman Biopic Movie Trailer Video
This is the movie I've been waiting for since I wrote a report on Harriet Tubman in the fourth grade.
"Harriet Tubman's biopic treatment has finally arrived.
"In the new trailer for Harriet, Tony winner Cynthia Erivo plays the American hero, tracing her terrifying journey from runaway slave to heroic abolitionist via the Underground Railroad.
"The trailer opens on Harriet's initial escape, running away from a vicious slave owner (played by Joe Alwyn) and braving the unknown.
"Using a river and the North Star as her guide, she manages to make it out of the south and meet with William Still (Tony-winner Leslie Odom Jr.), a Philadelphia-based abolitionist who helps fugitive slaves find freedom.
"However, it doesn't take long for Tubman to decide that she has to go back and help free her family, as well as dozens of other enslaved people."

Jason called me so excited and nearly out of breath.
"I got it!" he began, "I have finally achieved my entire life goal...I have been longing for this, I have been working for this...since I can remember this has been my dream, and now I have it!"
"You found what? You have been working for what?" I pleaded.
"Just come over right now, and I will show you."
I drove over and Jason was waiting on his porch and was literally bouncing up and down. He took me into his living room and pointed to a huge glass display case sitting in the center of the room.
"There, you see? I am now totally complete."
I looked in the display case and there, under a bright light and laying on polished glass was Jason's purpose for existing. Sitting in front of me was a power drill.
Before you think Jason to be just a sandwich shy of a picnic, think about this: Why would anyone want a drill? I mean really, who really wants to own a drill? Isn't the only point of owning a drill to make a hole?
No one, in their right mind, would view owning a drill as their "point", their mission, their purpose, right? Right? ....right? Well, not so fast. If the only reason to own a drill is to make a hole, who would think a drill is the purpose? Well, you, might.
What is the reason (read "hole" here) you went into business? Your business, your position, your leadership is a drill, not the hole. YOU, are not a hole.
Growing is not a hole...
Bigger is not a hole...
Money is not a hole...
Branding is not a hole...
Power is not a hole...
There are many leaders who have no idea what their hole is supposed to look like, (or even if they should make one) so they make their drill the point.
The hole IS the point, the mission, the purpose. The hole is the WHY!
What shape is your purpose? Is it round, open, deep, allowing for something or someone to fit in, a space for something to happen?
Or have you made your purpose look more like a dysfunctional handgun with no bullets?

The 10 Myths Killing Success: Myth Four - Ability
Myth Four - Ability
This is the Third preview of my new eBook titled
"The 10 Myths Killing Success. (and how to defeat them)"
Feel free to share these excerpts with anyone you know who is trying to define success in their own life or business.
See if any of these myths have stopped you from finding clarity and moving forward:
Myth Four - Ability
Jeannette looked at me and said, "I want to run another marathon."
"Another?" I thought to myself. How in the world did this girl ever even run one? I mean, look at her...she was 35 years old, had three kids, and didn't look "fit" at all. But there she was telling me she wanted to run another one.
Long before most of will ever "do something" we were already capable. Probably the most deadly words any human can string together is, "I can't". In fact, most of the great historical failures occurred when someone simply didn't do something. I know, there is no huge book of "Things Not Done." but trust me, they are all there.
The amount of energy most of us put in creating reasons why we can't act, move, think, create, finish, start, or succeed would probably light a small city for a month. The lie here is that somewhere along the way, we became convinced that there must be a tremendous amount of ability, talent, skill - call it what you will - for our own personal success.
So we settle for the most prevalent slurry of human failure - mediocrity.
There is no great thing humans have ever accomplished that had to wait on ability to achieve. Accepting the myth that one must be "able" or fit, or has arrived, means that very little will ever happen in your life.
As Jeanette took a swig from her protein shake, I wondered how a person like her could run a 26.2 mile marathon. I wondered how she could run a mile. Heck, I couldn't wrap my brain around how she could run at all. This unlikely marathon runner had no legs. She ran the entire 26 miles on her hands.
If you believe you need ability to succeed, you have a long wait.

Myths That Kill Success - Myth 6: The Past
This is the Sixth preview of my new eBook titled
"The 10 Myths Killing Success (and how to defeat them)"
Myth Six - The Past
Well, not just any old past...YOUR Past. We all have them. No one can forget their past. Some are healthy, some, not so much.
Indeed, one's experiences do form us,
change us,
shear off the edges, create a few new ones,
leave dents, polish the flat spots,
create a few scares...and some cuts that just won't heal.
Truly the one thing we all have in common is a past, a history of events, feelings experiences, ups, down, luck, decisions...All collectively called the Past.
Our Past can be a lot like gravity
For some, the past can be a constant reminder of limitations...weight...and always knowing what would happen if they actually jumped off the edge.
For others, the past can be like the massive orb in space that when traveled toward with just the right trajectory will sling-shot them off into amazing speed beyond their own limitations.
There is one very interesting and completely amazing decision we all have to make about the past...it is a yes of no decision, a toggle switch, an agreement if you will:
We all can either take the past with us, or leave it where it is.
That's right, the past has no ability to mobilize on its own. The past has no legs, no motor, no propeller...nothing. We either pack it up in our baggage, or we let it stay....in the past.
What your past does for you, good or bad, is totally your decision...
Ready to unpack for a while?

Myths That Kills Success - Myth 5: Entitlement
This is the Fifth preview of my new eBook titled
"The 10 Myths Killing Success. (and how to defeat them)"
Myth Five - Entitlement
See if any of these myths have stopped you from finding clarity and moving forward:
No, this is not a political issue, but a personal maturity problem we all suffer from and it looks like this:
I have worked really hard...it's time for a beer.
I have been very attentive to my wife...it's time for some fun
I can beat this next level of Angry Birds...I haven't played this for a couple days....
It's also found in one single word: Deserve
You deserve luxury...
I deserve better than that...
You deserve a break today..
The problem with entitlements is that it trades the BEST for the NOW.
I want it NOW...
I want to feel better NOW
I want to spend money NOW!
After all, I deserve it NOW!
So we trade the best for whatever physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, sparkly thing impulse we want right now. And the best? Well, it gets farther and farther way. This is not to say we only live for the future, but that living in the notion that one "deserves" momentary pleasure, time wasting, mental stimulation, or any illegitimate expression of anger will destroy the future.
Keeping your dream, your future, your vision in front of you means that one does what is important for that dream, that vision, that future. Do not live as if anyone, anything, any God, any time, any pleasure OWES you anything. Live to add value to others keeping your dream in front. Let NOTHING cloud it.
Look, if we really got what we deserved, I suspect most of us would be a wisp of smoke.
