Jack Spirko:
I realize for some of you guy that it is a big leap to accept that all of that is true. I believe in most of it and you know where i am on the climate issue so i am not going to go there today. I have told you that i have said what i am going to say on that and i am done.
What i think we can all agree on is we have looked over the last few months to last few years, we have seen many of the things in this video happen that have absolutely nothing to do with direct environmentalism. Like farmers having there farms shutdown. Like people being threatened with jail for having gardens in their front yard. Children told they can't ware a shirt with a picture of the american flag to a school.
We have businesses being told to remove the america flag. We've had a man put in jail in California, because he setup a barter network for women who were breast feeding to barder for goats milk. because some of those women where not capable producing breast milk, and it is the best substitute for human breast milk.
and we have had over, and over, and over, and over again examples of people stepping on the throats of average americans, average small business people. We have watched the ass clowns in the government get away with it. They got their heads rolled in the last election. And 50% of them immediately got jobs lobbyist. They have more influence and are higher paid then ever before.
Whether you think that the problems pointed out in this video are accurate or not. The problems are such that we all have to admit together that it is clear that the people in control want more control. They want us to have less control and indeed they have set a corse for America to fail.
There wasn't a single solution in that video though. and when we look that what the people are doing to our fellow americans across the country. And we complain about it. We yell about it. We get angry about it. There is value in that because anger creates action, but there is no solution there.
It's friday afternoon and you just heard some pretty somber stuff. I think you need to hear some solution to, if I wanted America to fail. I'm going to call, "If I wanted to save America."
If I wanted to save America.
The first thing that I would do is teach every single American that would listen to me. That they have internal power. I would teach them all, that no one can take that away.
I would teach them that a law is only a written command by another man. And any law can be unwritten. Any law can be challenged. And any law eventually be defeated.
I would teach them that laws get passed unjustly when men are afraid. And that men become afraid when they worry about feeding their family or feeding themselves.
Men become afraid when they worry that someone will come take what they have or harm them or harm their children. But that when men are not afraid. When they stand up and they know they can care for their family, they can care for their children, they can care for their wives. They can be the leaders in the home that they are supposta be. They don't capitulate. They don't compromise. They hold their ground.
I would teach them that the solution is NOT in anyway currently existing in the belt way around the district around Columbia or the statehouses across America. I would teach them that the solution is not in government. Its in their own homes, its in their own back yards. That's where the solutions are.
I would teach America to plant trees and gardens. That produce food for themselves to eat, everywhere and every place they can.
I would teach them that even though everything that we talk about is true that they are coming to take away people's pigs. They are coming to take away people's gardens. They are actually doing this crap at the local level, the federal level, the state level. All over the place. That it is very damn hard to come put someone in jail for a garden if everyone in that neighborhood is standing in the front yard going "I don't think so today, I don't think we are going to let you do this today" And if we start having each others backs the fear transfers from us to them.
I would teach them that we have already developed a pattern that you should know that you can already go out and do these things that people like us will have your back do have your back and we will act.
That if you attack an old lady with bone cancer, you will put a blight on your city for a decade. That's what they did to themselves. The name of that city shall ever in the minds of anybody that heard the story go "Oh those are the people that.... and, we'll come thru for that person, one way or another we'll have their back."
If you try to put a lady in jail for a front yard garden, in Michigan, in a city that can't even keep the freakin lights on, five days a week. You have to close on Fridays! Then thousands and thousands of fellow Americans from across the country will call you and tell you they are paying attention to what you are doing and they will support that person with a legal defense fund and shove it back up your ass.
If I wanted to save America I would teach my fellow Americans these things.
I would teach our children to be good citizens in their schools and obey the rules, but question every damn thing a teacher says. Especially one that is supposed to be an education and its an opinion.
When they are told so and so is bad. Ask why, ask how do we know that, ask is there another side to the story. And whatever they are taught And whatever they have to put on the paper to get an "A." I would tell them to write that down and come home and talk to me about it. Talk to you about it and find out the real truth.
I would teach Americans to once again discover their own history, to accept their own faults, and their own mistakes.
If I wanted to save America
I would admit we screwed that some things up.That we oppressed people on our own lands. And I would teach people about the battles that were fought for equality. Fought and won. And the amazing immense opportunities that were created when the battles were fought and won and that the time to fight those battles is in our past, not our future. Now is the time to unite and do things.
I would teach America that when someone says the things I am saying now, and another person says them, and another person says them, and they are heard. The people behind the desks that make the decisions, that say they won't let you. Quake in Fear! Because they know that, it's not that they won't let us. Its that they know the truth is for this long, we have allowed them. We allowed them to act. We empowered them. We put them there. We paid for them. We can change it there but got to change it right in our homes first. Right with our own children first.
If i wanted to save America.
I would teach every person within the sound of my voice to be self sufficient and self reliant and take care of themselves and their families first and then to take care of their communities and their neighbors and then to take care of their cities. And I would teach them to take their city's back first.
I would teach them that what these clowns are doing at the federal level doesn't even really matter right now because its too big and they have too much power, too much control and its time to take the power at the city and town level back for the common person and then turn that apparatus of government on their counties and then take the county back and take the county government and spin it around so its not coming down your throat and put it down the throat of the state. And demand the state stand up to the feds but it's a bottom up approach. It doesn't start in a picket line. It doesn't start with a occupy demonstration It starts with you!
If I wanted to save America.
I would teach americans to once again to be proud to be american. I would teach them you do not have to be proud of the actions of your government or the mega corporations running your government or the lobbyists running your government to be proud to be an american or be proud what america is.
If I wanted to save America
I would teach americans that america isn't a place with borders, and laws and government. America is an idea that created a place with borders, laws, and government. And that those borders, laws, and government were to exist to serve the people who had the courage to have the idea and make it real.
And I would teach them that there is immense amounts of things to be proud about from that.
I would teach them that once again value their flag. Even if they are opposed to a war fought under that flag. To realize the flag is not about war. The flag is about the freedom it is supposed to represent. And if your not happy that freedom is not there any more. Take it back! And thats the big thing I would try to teach america if i wanted to save it
I would teach them that no one will give you your freedom back. You must take it! You must claim it You must do it in your own lives. You must be bold. You must be decisive. You must be willing to act. And you must not let fear get in between you and doing what you dream of doing. What you really believe in and teaching your children the same thing. In fact I could sum it up this way.
If i wanted to save america I would simply teach americans to act like americans.
And with that folks this has been Jack Spirko with an other addition of "The Survival Podcast". Helping you figure out how to live that better life, if times get tough or even if they don't.

Shihab Sharar Isa
Currently on track to successfully complete the first year of his Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) degree, Shihab Sharar Isa says his advice to students thinking about studying at 半岛 campus is "don't think twice". He says not only does the intimacy of the campus enable a great connection with teachers and fellow students; the BBA offers a broad range of subjects giving him the chance to consider a number of different career options.
"The subjects I'm studying are giving me the knowledge to decide whether I want to engage in something creative like marketing, or maybe to do something completely different, 如会计.
At this stage I don't quite know what I want to do in the future, but I like the idea of being my own boss, setting up my own business and making my own decisions. My favourite subject at the moment is economics, it's giving me a broad understanding of the world, how it operates and what's going on."
Shihab says the BBA is also helping him to learn a lot about himself personally.
"In business you have to be able to speak to a lot of people and I've had to do this a lot since my studies began. These experiences are allowing me to learn and grow as a person."
Originally from Bangladesh, Shihab joined Monash during the mid-year intake in July 2018. He initially moved into rented accommodation located 15 minutes from campus but was keen to move 'on-res' this semester to immerse himself fully into university life.
"Academics is my priority but I also want to engage in other things such as the social side of university. I think everyone should utilise the opportunity not just for studies, but to also experience interacting with people from different cultures. In the student village I live with three house mates and it's so interesting; one is from Australia and two are from Hong Kong. I enjoy interacting with people and believe you should put yourself in an environment where there are different experiences to learn from."
Shibab says that 半岛 campus offers a close-knit environment where everyone is inclusive.
"It's not a bad thing seeing the same people every day on campus. I find that my lecturers know me personally and my friends know me in and out so I'm able to create a close rapport with them. It doesn't matter what course they are doing, we all feel like a family."
Shihab adds one of the reasons he chose Monash is because it's part of the group of eight universities.
"研究ing at Monash, I feel like the sky's the limit for me. The university has such a great reputation that I know my degree with help me stand out when I plan for my future. I'll be utilising it as much as possible."

The kids at our cookery camps and birthday parties always love these fajitas! I know you can buy packs of ready made spice mix and salsa but making your own is always better as you are guaranteed there are no added sugars, salts or preservatives. Also, once you have the spices, this is a cheaper way of doing it! The kids at the cookery school always love making their own flat breads but this is not essential!
Homemade Wraps:
250g Flour
½ tsp Salt
175ml Water
3 tblsp Olive Oil
Put the flour and salt in a bowl and make a little well in the middle, add the oil and water to this.
Mix it all together and knead it for about 10 minutes
Shape the dough into a ball & put the dough back in the bowl, cover with cling film and leave in a warm place for at least half an hour (or even overnight if you want)
When you are ready to cook them, put the dough out on a worktop with some flour on it.
Cut the dough into golf ball sized pieces and roll out into a circle, as thin as possible.
Heat a dry frying pan & place your tortilla wrap into it. When it starts to blister & bubble, carefully turn it over and cook the other side.
For the Spice Mix:
Mix together: 1 tsp sea salt , 1 tsp caster sugar, 1 tsp ground cumin, 1 tsp ground coriander, ½ tsp chili powder, ½ tsp oregano , ½ tsp ground black pepper, ½ tsp paprika
Tomato Salsa
2 Tomatoes, chopped
1 clove of garlic, minced
½ a red onion,
1 tsp sugar
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
A handful of fresh coriander chopped
Pinch of Sea Salt
Combine all the ingredients in a bowl
To make the Chicken Fajitas:
2 Chicken Breast Fillets
3 tablespoons Spice Mix
½ a Red Pepper, slice lengthways
½ an Onion, sliced
Some Cheddar cheese, grated
A few dollops of Sour Cream
Some Groundnut or Vegetable Oil, to cook
Place the Chicken, Peppers & Onions in a large bowl and sprinkle the seasoning over and mix it through with a spoon
Heat the oil in a frying pan and add the chicken & vegetables
Stir fry until the chicken is cooked through. You can check this by taking a piece out of the pan and cutting it in half. If it is completely white on the inside, it is cooked.
Place the chicken and peppers & onions into the middle of a tortilla wrap and add the cheese, salsa and sour cream. Roll one side of the wrap over to the middle, then tuck in the end and roll the other side of the wrap over.

Okay, let's write some fake news. I mean I'm bored.
So Harry Reid complains the Russian hacking influenced the election throwing it to Trump. Right. Then he claimed that Comey single-handedly influenced the election results for Trump. Slap the certificate of authenticity on that. Both are true, to Reid.
Now this means that Russia, Putin's hacks and Comey with the FBI in unison all worked together to get Trump elected. We are talking a huge conspiracy, fake news there. Plus, Hillary's people at Harvard said the media helped get Trump elected. Media-Russia-FBI-Comey.
It doesn't stop there, turns out Reid is also against fake news. Here is Harry Reid giving his retirement
lecture speech. He lashed out at Fake News. (HuffPo)
"We're entering a new Gilded Age. It has never been more important to be able to distinguish between what's real and what is fake… We have media outlets pushing conspiracy theories disguised as news. Separating real from fake has never been more important."
He cited Pope Francis to bolster his case: (but Hillary also railed against fake news)
"[The Pope]said yesterday, and this is a quote: 'The media that focuses on scandals and spread fake news to smear politicians risk becoming like people who have a morbid fascination with excrement,'" Reid said.
Echoing that,
Hillary Clinton took the opposite tone, calling fake news "a danger that must be addressed and addressed quickly."
Then Reid went on to referrence George Orwell's "1984" to make his case.
The king of fake news is very concerned about Fake News. It turns out that writing a report about Harry Reid and fake news is a good way to point out fake news. He brought in the Pope and George Orwell. Who is more creative than that? Any time you can use the Pope to help promote your conspiracies is a good day. Hillary, I found your culprit.

I have decided that it is time for me to grow up and accept a wisdom of generations and generations of men and women: it makes sense to wear an apron when cooking.
It actually makes sense to wear an apron when cooking, cleaning and crafting. In fact, an apron is a great idea! The amount of tops and sweaters I have ruined by splattering sauce and oil on, is too depressing to think about. So this weekend I wandered into Muji and picked up a great big apron that will hopefully protect me for years to come. I like this one a lot, it is completely without frills and gives great coverage. There is a also similar one at Merci made out of linen, in case you ever are in Paris.
Though I decided that for my first apron a utilitarian approach was better, on the other side of the frill scale, I also love this apron at Anthropologie!
– Emilie
Above a photo of Violette and me making brownies to celebrate my new purchase! The photo was taken by Coco, who loved being the on set photographer.
You look so cute! And Coco is turning out to be one talented photographer — she DID capture the moment there! Love the apron! xxx
SUCH a cute photo of you! And I love that apron. 🙂 xxx
Your post put a smile on my face when I read it this morning! It's really true – wearing an apron makes you feel grown up! Love your choice, enjoy wearing it.

Hunters during the 2013 deer season killed 24,795 deer, an increase of 15 percent over the 2012 harvest of 21,552 deer.
The 2013 harvest is the third consecutive year the deer harvest has increased, reflective of a deer population that has grown since the back-to-back severe winters of 2008 and 2009.
"I commend [the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife] for its management of the deer herd, and I congratulate hunters who participated in one of our state's most popular sporting pursuits," said Governor Paul R. LePage. "Deer hunting is not only a time-honored tradition, but it attracts economic activity from hunters throughout Maine and those from other states."
The deer kill increased in almost every Wildlife Management District in the state, and the adult buck harvest once again increased over the previous season with hunters taking 16,765 bucks, which was an increase of 8 percent over the 2012 buck kill of 15,475.
Holding true to the harvest patterns seen in 2013, Maine's youth hunters also saw an increase in harvest numbers, climbing from 570 deer in 2012 to 781 in 2013, representing an increase of 37 percent. Their harvest consisted of a total of 335 adult bucks, 280 adult does and 166 fawns. Once again, youth hunters were allowed to harvest antlerless deer without needing an any-deer Permit in WMDs where permits were issued.
As the deer population continued to rebound, in 2013 IFW issued approximately 36 percent more permits than were issued in 2012. This resulted in an increase in the adult doe harvest of 5,307 animals, approximately 24 percent more than the 4,287 harvest in 2012. In 2013, IFW issued any-deer permits in WMD 3 and 6, representing the first antlerless deer harvests in those districts since 2000 and 2007, respectively.
The allocation of permits to these WMDs resulted in a total adult doe harvest of 17 individuals from WMD 3, and 64 from WMD 6. It also was the first time since 2007 that any-deer permits were issued in WMD 7 where the doe harvest was 34.
"The increase in the number of successful hunters last season reflects a growing deer population in much of the state," said MDIFW Commissioner Chandler Woodcock, "However, with the long, cold winter we experienced, it is prudent that we move forward thoughtfully in 2014 concerning the number of any-deer permits issued."
To help alleviate the impacts of deer nuisance issues in and around urban areas where bans on the use of firearms exist, the department provides additional deer population management via deer harvests during an expanded archery season.
Generally spanning a period greater than 70 days, this season allows hunters, whom have the appropriate license(s) and tags, to harvest one additional buck and potentially an unlimited number of does from within an identified expanded archery zone. The 2013 Expanded Archery season experienced an increase in harvest over the 2012 season by 13 pecent from 987 deer to 1,122 deer.
This past winter marked the first in four years with above-average winter severity throughout the state, the first since 2009. As a result of the winter, MDIFW wildlife biologists have recommended decreasing the number of any-deer permits throughout the state.

The third film about Sherlock Holmes is one of the most awaited films, millions of fans around the world are waiting for the continuation of this detective thriller about the life of the famous detective and his faithful friend Dr. Watson. If in the old versions of this story the protagonists stood out only for their analytical abilities, then in the last two films, the main characters possess incredible physical training and demonstrate this to us throughout the film. In the topic below, you will find all necessary information about the movie including the answer to the main question: "When does Sherlock Holmes 3 2018 come out?"
The intrigue – whether the third part of "Sherlock Holmes" by Guy Ritchie will continue – has finally revealed. According to the Independent, the performer of the role of the famous detective, Robert Downey, Jr., said that he is already discussing with the director when shooting begins.
"We are already doing preparatory work: if we could make a film via Skype, it would have already been done within a week," said actor.
When is Sherlock Holmes 3 coming to theaters in 2018?
The movie will appear on the screen in autumn 2018.
The premiere of the first film about Sherlock Holmes with r. Downey Jr. in the main role was in 2009 and immediately the film collected impressive sums at the box office, about $520 million. Of course, the creators liked these results and they quickly shot the second film, which was released in 2011 and grossed about $ 545 million at the box office.
The authors of the films decided to take a short break after the release of the second. But there always were rumors about the release of the third film since the audience craves continuation. Robert Downey Jr., arguing about the pause in the release of the third film about the adventures of Sherlock Holmes, said that the interruption is due to the fact that this film is likely to be the final in the series and therefore it must better than previous two.
Recently, Downey Jr. is buried in work on the Marvel movies. Over the past five years, three films ("The Avengers," "Iron Man 3," and "The Avengers: The Age of Ultron.") have been released – they involve the ingenious inventor Tony Stark. The role of a character is performed by Downey Jr.
Up ahead, Downey Jr. still has at least two blockbusters, where he will certainly be as Iron Man – "The Avengers: Infinity War" – divided into two separate films (their release is expected in 2018 and 2019). So, the actor has very little time for shooting in the third movie about the detective.
The movie Sherlock Holmes 3 trailer is now available. Watch right now!
The events in the first film take place in the late nineteenth century. The famous detective Sherlock Holmes along with his faithful friend Dr. Watson are beginning to work on one difficult task. The safety of all residents of London depends on the success of their investigation, our heroes should use their mind, strength, and dexterity to eliminate the threat. In the second film, our heroes have to enter into battle with their sworn enemy named James Moriarty. The public is very frightened after a wave of terrorist attacks that rolled through major European cities. The greatly increased number of murders throughout Europe significantly complicates the task. Sherlock comes to the conclusion that behind all of this is the evil genius, Moriarty. He understands that he will play a very dangerous game but he cannot give up.
If we talk about the plot of the third film, there is no information about it. It is already known that the script was written by Drew Pierce who is known for such films as "Mission Impossible 5" and "Iron Man 3."
- Rachel McAdams as Irene Adler
- Robert Downey Jr. as Sherlock Holmes
- Jude Law as Dr. John Watson
Release date
In the USA, Sherlock Holmes 3 movie release date in 2018 is scheduled for fall.
Thank you for being with us!

Didn't love a scent? Not a fan of that body product? Not a problem, as we here at Sucreabeille have an Extremely Generous Return Policy!
We're committed to making the returns process simple and easy for you.
But first, a few things to note:
We really encourage you to wait to make a return until at least two weeks after the receipt of your order. Why? As indie perfume makers, we don't use stabilizers in our blends like mass perfume manufacturers. That means that your scents might undergo the perfume equivalent of bottle shock in transportation, due to extreme fluctuations in temperature, aggressive package handling (tee hee), etc.
You can absolutely sniff your scents when they first arrive, but note that a resting period of at least a few days can make a world of difference in how a scent smells.
Store them in a cool, dry place for a little while and see how they can change. But, if you don't want to wait that long, we understand!
Returns must be initiated within 60 days of purchase.
There must be at least 75% of the product left in the container for us to accept the return.
If you don't love a scent but would rather rehome it than return it, or swap it for something you know you love, we have an awesome swap/sell thread on our Facebook group (and it's for all indie perfume companies, not just Suc). You can join our group here (https://facebook.com/groups/sucreabeille) and then search for "swap/sell" within the group. We post a new swap thread each month, sometimes two!
Sucreabeille reserves the right to limit returns if we have reason to suspect misuse of our Extremely Generous Return Policy (such as, but not limited to, excessive returns, reseller activity, or fraud).Items from the Indie Marketplace are eligible for return.
Items purchased from other retailers, dealers, or resellers and not directly from Sucreabeille are not eligible for return, refund, or exchange.
If you used Sugar Points on your original purchase, we will not be able to refund those to your account. Instead, we will give you a shop credit. (It's basically the same thing, it just won't be found under your Sugar Points.).Here's how it works: Send us an email with a note about what you'd like to return, and we'll send you a shipping label. Send back the product according to the terms above. Once we receive it and make sure it's eligible, we'll issue you a shop credit or a refund to your original form of payment in the amount of the product plus your original shipping charge. We must receive the product before we can issue your credit or refund.
If you need help, send an email to email@example.com. We're happy to answer any questions you may have!

When my father died a few years ago my mother was overwhelmed by the many details that needed to be attended to during such an emotional time. My Mom was fortunate in that she and my Dad were jointly involved in their financial matters. The following is a checklist I created as a reminder of some of the steps you need to cover when you find yourself in this situation:
Immediately — There are tasks that family members will need to take care of very soon after a relative's death.
- Arrange the funeral or memorial service.
- Did the deceased pre-plan or pre-pay for a funeral? My Dad had a prepaid
arrangement with a crematory. There was a checklist provided along with
contact information to follow at death.
- Submit an obituary to the decedent's local paper(s). You may want to include
a charitable organization for donations if that is preferred over flowers. Don't
rely on the obituary to inform important friends and family members. You
should plan to call them and ask them to help contact others.
- Check with the cemetery to see if the deceased paid for a plot and/or burial
insurance. My Dad was a veteran. Veterans, service members, and their
dependents can be buried in a national cemetery for free. If a veteran is
buried elsewhere and was entitled to receive VA disability payments up to the
time of death, his or her estate can receive an allowance toward burial and
funeral expenses.
- Keep a list of everyone who sends donations, flowers, and/or cards so
acknowledgements can be sent.
- Secure the decedent's tangible property. The executor may need to have
these items appraised. Personal property is often listed specifically in the will
as a bequest to particular family members.
Post funeral — There are some issues that have to be dealt with within legal time
periods. Here are some of the initial steps that may need to be taken.
- Find out if there is a will and who was appointed executor.
- Is there a safe deposit box? The executor will need to determine the
contents of the decedent's safe deposit box.
- The executor should arrange a meeting with the attorney to review the steps
necessary to administer the decedent's estate. Documents you should bring
- death certificates (You can get these from the funeral director)
- a copy of the decedent's birth certificate (and the marriage license if
the deceased is your spouse)
- financial statements, including those from banks, brokerage houses,
and insurance agencies
- the decedent's Social Security number
- Veterans Affairs identification number, if applicable
- Notify the decedent's creditors. Close any credit card accounts.
- The estate, not surviving family members, is responsible for any debts of the
decedent. Do not pay off their debts yourself. Doing so only increases the
net value of the estate, which may mean higher inheritance taxes.
- The executor distributes the property to heirs. Once the executor
understands the assets and liabilities of the estate, he or she can distribute
most of the assets. A reserve will be held for the final costs of closing out
the estate.
- The executor must file an account with the probate court listing any
income to the estate since the date of death and all expenses and estate
distributions. The executor can distribute whatever is left in the reserve once
the court approves the final account.
- Change the title on any property (including real estate and automobiles)
owned by the deceased.
- Contact financial institutions to determine what information they need to
change the registration on any accounts in the decedent's name.
- If you are the spouse of the deceased, review your own estate plan, including
insurance policies, legal documents, investment plans, etc., and revise as
- File a federal estate tax return within nine months of the death if the estate's
value exceeds the estate tax exemption for the year of death.
- Contact the employee benefits department of the decedent's employer to
determine what death benefits may be payable and to whom.
- Determine how to arrange for any income you may be getting from the
decedent's retirement plan benefits, union survivor benefits, Social Security,
Veterans' benefits, and life insurance policies.
- If the decedent was receiving Social Security benefits, the Social Security
Administration must be notified promptly.
- Veterans' benefits to a spouse and heirs may include pension payments and
financial aid for education costs. Call the Department of Veterans Affairs at
1–800-827‑1000 to find the office nearest you.
- Insurance benefits – determine who are the beneficiaries and contact the
insurance company or agent to obtain the death claim forms needed.
- Retirement plan and pension benefits – beneficiaries should contact the
employee benefits department of the company that sponsors the plan to
determine what payment options are available and the paperwork required to submit a claim.
Settling an estate can sometimes be a lengthy and frustrating process. However, probate can be avoided completely in many instances. My parents held most of their assets jointly and named each other as beneficiaries. Administrative expenses were minimal. This did not minimize the grief and stress my Mom went through but she could take comfort knowing she would be OK financially.
Rick's Insights
- Spouses should make sure each other is aware of any arrangements made in the event of death and where to find important documents.
- The executor becomes the personal representative of the deceased and has complete authority to act on their behalf.
- Avoid making any extraordinary changes in your life soon after the loss of a loved one. Making important decisions immediately could mean having regrets later.

The Growing Problem of Online Security for Web Hosts
In truth the problem of online security is one of the major challenges that faces us all today. If you don't have a device that is hooked up to the internet, then you're in the minority. While security specialists work round the clock to keep us safe, the rest of us are left with the certainty that someone somewhere is trying to find a way round all that virus software, encryption and firewall protection we surround ourselves with.
Most of us don't even notice this battle going on, at least not until something goes wrong. According to security company Symantec, however, there were what they call 9 mega breaches in 2015 causing the loss of over half a billion records. This is a big issue for web hosts too and it should be a primary concern for businesses who are looking for someone to facilitate their online presence.
That's why it makes sense to ask the right questions before you sign on the dotted digital line and potentially expose your website, and more importantly your customers, to online threats.
Does your host get to know its customers?
First of all, you'll glean a lot from registering with the company. Are they going to screen your account and do they make an effort to get proof of identity? Most reputable hosting services will contact you by phone to determine that you are a bona fide person before actually activating your account.
Is it open access?
Alarm bells should start ringing if your host allows open access or offers things like cost-free hosting and accounts that are free if you allow sponsored ads. Hackers are pretty skilled at using free hosting services and attracting people to their sites where they can get users to click on malware that can cause serious damage. If your host is supplying this kind of service, then you have to wonder how secure their other provision such as VPS or shared hosting is.
Firewalls and keeping watch
Your host should have a reliable clustered firewall where they constantly test security and keep updated with the latest security. They should be monitoring sites to make sure that malware isn't uploaded anywhere and they should have the processes in place to deal with a threat should it be detected – usually by isolating the problem or taking it offline to prevent further attack.
Do they backup daily?
It's something that should be top of your list when asking questions of your potential web host anyway. How often do they back up? If there is a breach in security, then you want to be able to restore the latest version of your data and if your host isn't backing up daily then this should also raise alarm bells.
For most businesses the issue of security is real but it is also a complicated one. Let's face it, most of us can be blinded by science and trust the hosting company to provide the necessary level of security we need. It pays, however, to get to know this area of hosting a lot better and doing your research means that you can find the right host and ask the right questions.
Failure to do so can lead to the wrong choices and that can have a catastrophic effect not only on your brand but your future reputation as a safe place to do business.

A Semantic Occlusion Model for Human Pose Estimation from a Single Depth image
CVPR ChaLearn Looking at People Workshop(Chalearn'15)
Human pose estimation from depth data has made significant progress in recent years and commercial sensors estimate human poses in real-time. However, state-of-theart methods fail in many situations when the humans are partially occluded by objects. In this work, we introduce a semantic occlusion model that is incorporated into a regression forest approach for human pose estimation from depth data. The approach exploits the context information of occluding objects like a table to predict the locations of occluded joints. In our experiments on synthetic and real data, we show that our occlusion model increases the joint estimation accuracy and outperforms the commercial Kinect 2 SDK for occluded joints.

Firefox and Edge add support for Google's WebP image format | Industry
Breaking Tech Industry news from the top sources
The WebP image format developed by Google for the past eight years has found a home this week in Microsoft's Edge browser, and will also be added in Firefox next year.
WebP is a lossy and lossless image compression format that was born as a derivate project from Google's work on the VP8 video format. It was released in 2010, and it was advertised as a replacement for PNG, JPEG, and GIF at the same time, supporting good compression, transparency, and animations.
Early benchmarks showed that WebP cut down PNG size by as much as 45 percent and animated GIF size with up to 65 percent.
The format was initially supported only by Google Chrome, but it was later also adopted by the Opera and Pale Moon browsers.
Major Google sites, such as Gmail, Google Search, Google Play, Picasa, and others were modified to use WebP, and defaulted to existing image formats if users' browsers didn't support it.
But despite its early success, WebP's spread hit a wall in 2016, when both Apple and Mozilla showed initial interest in supporting it, but later backed down.
While Mozilla tested the format in Firefox, engineers abandoned WebP a few months later, citing inconclusive internal benchmarks that didn't show any advantage over a new optimized JPEG library it launched at the time.
Apple similarly added WebP support in iOS 10 and MacOS Sierra, but later replaced it with HEIF, an image format based on the HEVC video compression standard (also known as H.265 and MPEG-H Part 2).
Many considered Apple and Mozilla's rejections as nails in WebP's coffin, as no image format would be able to make it without support from major browser and OS vendors. But two years later, in the span of a week, the image format came back to life out of nowhere.
The latest version of the Edge browser that was launched this week with the Windows 10 October 2018 Update now fully supports WebP in all its glory. This is Microsoft Edge build 17763+.
Furthermore, on Friday, ZDNet's sister site CNET also spotted new activity in WebP's two-year-old topic on Mozilla's bug tracker.
"Mozilla is moving forward with implementing support for WebP," a Mozilla spokesperson confirmed to CNET yesterday. WebP will be added to Firefox for desktop and Android, but not iOS. This is because Firefox for iOS works on Safari's WebKit engine, and not Mozilla's Gecko.
Apple has not announced plans to support WebP, leaving Safari as the last major browser not to support it. But with WebP supported in almost all major browsers and image editing software, Apple has little choice left.
Mozilla also said that besides WebP, Firefox would get support next year for AVIF, an even better image format based on the AV1 open-source video compression format developed by Google, Cisco, Mozilla, and other tech giants, and which has recently received rave reviews from Facebook's engineering staff.

Cossitt Library and Integration
On March 23rd, 1960, the Memphis Press Scimitar reported that 23 students from LeMoyne College had tried to use the Cossitt Library and the Brooks Art Museum, and they were charged with trespassing.
The students were represented by Benjamin Hooks, who later became president of the NAACP. Hooks arranged a two-week truce with the city to try to work out a way to open public libraries, the zoo, and the Brooks and Pink Palace museums. These efforts failed.
Sit-ins and protests continued for several months. The case went to federal court. Eventually, the Supreme Court ordered the opening of public facilities to all citizens, regardless of race. Once the decision was handed-down, integration was accomplished peacefully.

Students with special needs are 'champion' athletes at this soccer festival in Ridgeland
RIDGELAND — A boy named Justin eyed a soccer ball at Freedom Ridge Park on Wednesday morning, swung his right leg forward and fired a shot into an open net. Goal.
Fans clapped. Justin leaped up and down. He smiled and danced. Another boy, Hunter, with a green paw painted on his cheek, scored seconds later. Hunter clapped every time a ball entered the net, whether his shot or not.
Hunter and Justin were two of more than 300 students with disabilities participating at the TOPSoccer Festival in Ridgeland. Students with Down syndrome and cerebral palsy — and anyone in special education classes at school — rotated through nine stations during the three-hour event.
One of the missions of TOPSoccer is to put special needs students in the spotlight.
"This allows them to be who they are without restrictions," said Carrie Bruce, a teacher at Madison Central High School. "They're allowed to be free."
The Mississippi Soccer Association added TOPSoccer after the Special Olympics founded it in 1992. Cameron Arcemont attended an event in 2003, and he took over Mississippi's TOPSoccer program a year later. His first year in charge, TOPSoccer hosted 40 students with special needs. It used one field.
On Wednesday, the event needed four fields. Northwest Rankin and Ridgeland High School volunteered their seniors. Belhaven, Millsaps and Mississippi College also sent representatives, providing TOPSoccer about 600 volunteers to play with the students.
At one point, a boy named Charlie ran down a field, smiling while he kicked an oversized soccer ball. He only stopped when a senior buddy caught up to him and redirected him toward his classmates. Charlie wore camouflage ankle braces.
Nearby, a group of students kicked and sometimes threw soccer balls at a few seniors inside inflatable sumo suits. The station was called "Sumo Ouch."
At soccer croquet, a boy named Joshua kicked a ball through four oversized wickets.
"Kick it through the hoop!" a senior said.
Joshua did not.
Then Joshua tapped a ball through the final hoop. He jumped to complete a double-high five before he ran with his mouth open to the sky. A senior chased after him in a one-sided game of tag.
At a painting station, two girls requested rainbows across their foreheads. One boy asked for a mustache and a goatee. Another, an eye mask.
Hayden Hill, a linebacker at Northwest Rankin with 107 tackles this season, raced a boy across a field. Hill lost, of course.
"It gives them an opportunity to participate in a relevant setting," said Denise Dunigan, a teacher at Madison Station Elementary. "They're all included."
Then a student asked Dunigan to take a picture of him so he could see the tiger painted on his face.
Arcemont wants the program to expand. He envisions more students and more volunteers and more than one event per year. He'd like to get Jackson Public Schools involved. Private schools in the area, too. He knows there are more students with special needs who can benefit from TOPSoccer.
"It's a rewarding experience to work with these kids," Arcemont said. "It steals you."
The event ended once every group of students rotated through every station. Domino's provided free pizza for lunch, and before they left, each student with special needs received a soccer ball and a medal.
"They're champions for a day," a teacher from Ridgeland High School said. "They feel love and acceptance."

A few years ago, I attended an anniversary screening of Chinatown (1974) at which screenwriter Robert Towne, producer Robert Evans, and star Jack Nicholson shared memories of making the classic detective story. Not having heard Nicholson speak extemporaneously before, I was surprised by how erudite he was but also by how obtuse he was. Though clearly steeped in esoteric artistic theories, he wasn't particularly good at getting his ideas across. Perhaps that's why he's thrived as an actor, using other people's writing as a prism for focusing his intellect. And perhaps that's why he hasn't thrived as a director, despite having helmed three features thus far. Each of Nicholson's directorial efforts contains interesting ideas, but all are aesthetic and narrative jumbles.
This is especially true of Nicholson's directorial debut, Drive, He Said, which is a bizarre drama involving college basketball, insanity, sexual obsession, student rebellion, and several other subjects. The movie is clearly about something, but Nicholson's storytelling is so unfocused that it's difficult to identify the underlying themes.
William Tepper stars as Hector, a college-hoops star wracked with some sort of indecipherable angst. (In a laughably obvious moment, he opines, "I feel so disconnected.") He's involved in a sexual relationship with Olive (Karen Black), the undeserving victim of his frequent mood swings; Olive's other lover is an older man played by Towne in one of his only acting roles. Making matters even more fraught, Hector's best friend is Gabriel (Michael Margotta), a student revolutionary feigning insanity to dodge the Vietnam draft—and losing his marbles in reality.
The script was based on a novel by Jeremy Larner (The Candidate) and credited to Larner and Nicholson, though Towne and Terrence Malick reportedly made uncredited contributions. Similarly, the movie has four (!) credited editors. So, whether the unfathomable nature of the story is the result of too many cooks in the kitchen or simply of Nicholson's reach exceeding his grasp, the sum effect is the same: Drive, He Said feels like several movies stitched together, forming a haphazard mosaic.
In fact, much of Drive, He Said comprises people making random declarations, like this narcissistic gem spoken by Towne: "I don't think I want to talk about this as much as I thought I did." Every so often, something affecting happens, like Black and Tepper forming an emotional connection in bed, and every so often, something coherent happens—but it's a measure of this movie's peculiarity that the most rational scenes involve Bruce Dern, who plays Hector's coach. When one of the most deliciously unhinged actors of the '70s gets relegated to straight-man status, something's gone terribly wrong.
The last half-hour of the movie gets awfully mean-spirited and weird, when Gabriel starts to completely lose his shit. First, he freaks out in an Army induction center, and then he tries to rape Olive. Eventually, a nude Gabriel breaks into a college science lab and releases assorted insects, reptiles, and vermin, "liberating" fellow prisoners of the Man's oppressive system. With its abundance of such oddly provocative moments, Drive, He Said is a heavy trip, but it's hard to say whether the trip actually goes anywhere.
Drive, He Said: FREAKY

In this very brief historical video, Belgian researchers have been able to capture the moment of human ovulation on camera for the first time.
New Scientist has this to say about the event:
"Following the publication last week of the best ever photos of the ovulation of a human egg, we now go, Fantastic Voyage-like, to the first video footage of the moment itself.
To record the sequence, Stephan Gordts and Ivo Brosens of the Leuven Institute for Fertility & Embryology in Belgium performed transvaginal laparoscopy, which involves making a small cut in the vaginal wall and observing the ovary with an endoscope.
"This allows us direct access to and observation of the tubo-ovarian structures without manipulation using forceps," says Gordts.
For the photos of ovulation, which only accidentally captured the critical moment, Jacques Donnez at the Catholic University of Louvain (UCL) in Brussels, Belgium, used gas to distend the organs for photography. However, Gordts and Brosens planned the procedure to coincide with ovulation and used saline solution to "float" the structures." Read more

Back in high school, I sustained a knee injury that required months of physical therapy. I went to Essex PT and got amazing treatment that brought me back to my former activity level! This process sparked my interest in the health care field as a future career, so I started working with Estelle around the office. I have now worked at EPT for 5 years during my school breaks. This summer, I am working at the South Burlington office with Casey & Henry!
Now, I am going into my senior year at UVM studying Exercise and Movement Science. I also coach for Nordic Soccer Club working with the u15 girls team. In my free time, I enjoy being outside as much as possible. I love hiking, running, and practicing yoga. During the school year, I play on the UVM club soccer team. I also assist in the Hoza research lab at UVM applying my studies by running an exercise program with preschoolers 3 times a week to see how this impacts their learning and development.

This crossing was spiked up until the late 1960's but was open from that point on.
It was a major pig smuggling route as there was no customs huts along this road.
In 1989 the two highest ranking RUC officers Chief Superintendent Harry Breen and Superintendent Bob Buchanan killed in the troubles, were shot on the Northern side of this crossing returning from a meeting with the Garda in Dundalk.

UWSP roundup: Vosters comes within video review of national wrestling championship
Vosters takes second at the NCAA Championships
ROANOKE, Va. - Senior Ben Vosters gave it his all and it nearly got him a national championship at the NCAA Division III Championships on Saturday. He came within a video review in the final seconds, but finished second in the 133-pound weight class.
Vosters advanced to the finals with a 7-6 decision win in the semifinals over No. 6 Charles Nash of Baldwin Wallace. He started fast with a takedown in the first 10 seconds of the match, but Nash escaped to make it 2-1. Vosters chose the down position to start the second period and gained two points on a reversal.
After Nash escaped again, Vosters got another takedown to take a 6-2 lead. In the third period, Vosters got a late escape, but Nash was awarded three stalling points to make in close at the end.
In the finals, Vosters fell behind early as Jordin James of Mount Union got a takedown. Vosters escaped for a point, but James got a second takedown late as Vosters trailed, 4-1. Vosters couldn't escape from the down position in the second period and James piled up the riding time.
In the decisive third period, James escaped to take a 5-1 lead. Vosters got two points back for a takedown, but James quickly regained the points with a reversal. After Vosters escaped with about a minute left, he got a takedown after video review with 17 seconds remaining to close to within 7-5. He gave James an escape point, but got it back with a stalling penalty.
In the final seconds, Vosters made one final attempt at a match-tying takedown, but upon video review, it was waived off and Vosters fell, 9-7.
Vosters finished his senior season with a 29-4 record. As the lone UWSP wrestler to advance to the NCAA Championships, he single-handedly put the Pointers in a tie for 23rd in the country with 16 points.
Men 10th, Women 20th, Pointers snag five All-Americans at NCAA championships
BOSTON, Mass. - The UW-Stevens Point track and field teams collected five more All-American accolades, four individuals and one relay, at the NCAA Division III Indoor Track and Field Championships on Saturday.
After the two-day completion, the men's team finished in 10th with 16 points. Meanwhile, the women's collected 10 points for a 20th-place finish.
Calden Wojt claimed his first of two All-American accolades in the 200-meter dash. He earned the runner-up position with a time of 21.70, a margin of 0.004 ahead of the third-place finisher. He also ran the third leg of the 4x400-meter relay with Sam Welch, Matt Cieslak and Evan Torgerson to help claim a seventh-place finish with a time of 3:19.78.
Sylviann Momont earned her second All-American nod of the weekend in the high jump. She finished in a three-way tie for third with a height of 1.68 meters (5' 6.00").
Jeremy Lee collected an All-American accolade in the heptathlon with an eighth-place finish with a score of 4,943. He came in second in the 1,000-meter run with a time of 2:45.02. He also finished in a three-way tie for second in the pole vault with a height of 4.45 meters (14' 7.25").
Tom Kohn notched his first career All-American honor in the triple jump. He finished eighth with a leap of 14.53 meters (47' 8.00").
Karen Wethal threw a distance of 13.20 meters (43' 3.75") in the shot put, good for a 12th-place finish.
The Pointers take a break from competition to prepare for the outdoor season. The outdoor season starts Saturday, March 30, with the Carroll Invite in Waukesha. Events begin at 10 a.m.

Brian Kemp's election as governor likely means that full-fledged Medicaid expansion will remain off the table in Georgia, at least for a while.
Republican Kemp, who will take office in January, opposed Medicaid expansion during the campaign, while Democratic candidate Stacey Abrams strongly supported it. Gov. Nathan Deal and his fellow Republicans who control the Georgia General Assembly have resisted expansion since it became an option for states several years ago.
But there may be other health care ideas coming under a Kemp administration that can bring coverage to more Georgians. And those ideas come under the general heading of "waivers.''
Medicaid expansion has been adopted by 36 states, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation. It has not been pursued in Georgia, with elected leaders contending it would be too costly. Still, polls indicate the idea is popular among people in the state.
A Kemp administration, meanwhile, could pursue one or more waivers that fall short of full expansion. States can propose waivers to change their health care programs under the Affordable Care Act. Such changes must receive federal approval.
The waiver plan getting renewed attention since the election was developed by Atlanta-based Grady Health System three years ago.
The Grady plan would use federal matching Medicaid dollars to help set up pilot sites that would provide coverage to thousands of people who currently lack medical insurance.
Participating medical providers would then manage these patients' care.
The program would be kicked off through an "1115 waiver," an experimental plan that the feds approve to give states flexibility to improve their Medicaid programs by using a new approach.
The Deal administration did not pursue the Grady idea. But Kemp's move to add Tom Price, a former U.S. secretary of health and human services, to the gubernatorial transition team could pave the way for such a waiver plan, says Kyle Wingfield of the Georgia Public Policy Foundation.
The Price addition may mean ''the Kemp team understands they need to do something on health care,'' Wingfield said Monday. "We would say that bringing in someone like Tom Price indicates that they get that and they're looking for someone who's very familiar with how HHS works.''
Price, a Georgia physician who spent years in the state Legislature and then the U.S. House, served as the Trump administration's health secretary before resigning last year amid criticism of his use of charter flights for some taxpayer-funded travel. He has long been a nationally known voice on health care policy.
Wingfield said a waiver would give Georgia the flexibility to design a pilot program as Grady envisions and see how it works said. The goal would be "to find a better way to spend the money'' from the feds, he said.
Republicans can't just sit and do nothing on health care, Wingfield said, or else they open themselves up to ideas such as "single payer'' or a "public option,'' which would extend the federal role in health care.
Georgia's health care challenges include its uninsured rate, one of the highest in the nation; its low ratings among states on different public health measures; and the continuing financial struggles of rural hospitals.
Another waiver idea being discussed pertains to the state's health insurance exchange and "reinsurance.'' A reinsurance program aims to stabilize health insurance premiums in the exchange by capping the cost that insurers incur in covering people with high medical costs.
Bill Custer, a health insurance expert at Georgia State University, said Kemp's appointment of Price gives the Grady proposal more momentum. Price commended the Grady idea at a recent conference.
Custer, though, also pointed out that a state can get close to a Medicaid expansion effect by using another type of waiver — basically a variation of the main expansion idea. Options would include a work requirement for the newly covered people, or charging premiums for higher-income beneficiaries.
"There's a pretty good appetite to expand Medicaid'' to some degree, Custer said. "You could do significant coverage expansion'' through such a waiver.
Kemp has also said he supports raising the amount of tax credits in the rural hospital donation program from $60 million to $100 million. Rural hospital donations have soared this year after the Legislature decided to raise the tax credit to 100 percent of donations, up from 90 percent. (Here's a recent GHN article on the program.)
Kemp's plan also calls for an expanded medical school loan forgiveness program to increase the number of ob/gyn and primary care doctors in rural parts of the state, the AJC reported.
Laura Harker of the Georgia Budget and Policy Institute, which supports Medicaid expansion, said she thinks the Kemp administration will create a commission to study behavioral health and potentially pursue federal waivers related to the health insurance exchange, along with raising the rural tax credit amount.
"The rural hospital tax credit has helped some rural hospitals, but the amount hospitals receive varies greatly and it doesn't bring them more insured patients,'' Harker said Monday. "Putting an insurance card in more Georgians' pockets and drawing down $3 billion in federal dollars is a better way to bring more money to financially struggling rural hospitals,'' she said, referring to standard Medicaid expansion.

lyse is a data analysis framework for experiments controlled by the labscript suite. Analysis routines are Python scripts that can be run on a labscript shot file. We break analysis into two distinct groups:
- single-shot analysis routines analyse a single hdf5 file corresponding to one realisation of an experimental sequence, or shot; and
- multi-shot analysis routines perform higher-order analysis on data from many shots.
A set of Python scripts can be loaded for each analysis category, which will run (when appropriate) on new shot files as they are sent to lyse from blacs. Acquired data, global variables from runmanager and analysis results generated in lyse, for all loaded shots, are stored in a table (a pandas DataFrame). This is a powerful analysis schema that takes advantage of the self-documenting nature of labscript experiment shot files.
The DataFrame is displayed in the lyse GUI and can also be accessed remotely from another PC as follows:
import lyse df = lyse.data(host='127.0.0.1', port=42519)
Moreover, the lyse DataFrame can be serialised so that an analysis session can be restored in lyse or in a headless environment.
The lyse interface, comprising:
- Single- and multi-shot analysis routines (Python scripts);
- A graphical representation of the Pandas DataFrame;
- Figures generated by the analysis scripts.†
- The output log from lyse and the analysis routines.
† In this example, these are publication quality figures generated for the manuscript Science 364, pp. 1267 (2019) doi:10.1126/science.aat5793.

Every cell in the human body regenerates on average every 7 years; so biologically, we are brand new people every 7 years. Most of the time we look the same and the change isn't visible unless our self-image has changed (our inner picture of who we are), then sometimes the change is visible; but usually it isn't. And aside from minimal normal aging over a 7 year period–it's still not usually that noticeable. Anyway, biologically, change is imperative—like I said, about every 7 years we replace every cell in our body; it's a medical fact.
Biologically change is imperative as just described but then all change is imperative, isn't it?
Change is a necessity not a luxury; otherwise stagnation, non-growth and eventually death (in some way) will occur.
I've been thinking about that as I make the final preparations to move off the mountain. That and life-cycles and the number 9 representing endings and new beginnings—that category of thought has also been prominent. I've been doing the visualization thing too and in cycles. Maybe everybody does this and I wouldn't know without taking some sort of poll, but here's how it works for me. When change is happening or about to happen or even when I'm involved in some sort of creative process (isn't that all the same?), I seem to spend a day or so in a great activity and achievement and then I sort of shut down almost like I'm physically tired (although I am not tired actually—at least not physically) and I spend a day or half-day or sometimes 3 or 4 hours at rest having visions.
It seems like the vision is necessary before I can actually accomplish it in physical reality. For instance, yesterday evening, I felt the need to go to bed early but I did not sleep right away. I was, in fact, visualizing myself driving off the mountain and seeing the mountains grow smaller in my rear view mirror and practicing how I was going to handle that experience and the accompanying feelings. It was as if I was instructing myself in the best way to process that experience.
I saw myself driving into the town where I will be living and coached myself in how to deal with any feelings that may come up then too.
I packed up my house in preparation to move in much the same way—periods of instructive type of rest that comes from a part of me that seems to be merging with me to direct the whole play, the entire affair.
One of my daughters went to check on the readiness of the apartment and took a video of the place, even though I had visited a similar unit in the past so I knew roughly where I was going. It does help me to have watched the video so that I can put myself there with a grace and ease that I've prepared for. Between now and the end of the week – I move in 4 more days—flashes of the video she showed me will play out in my mind as I merge my self and my belongings there.
We mostly look the same with the biological changes that occur in the physical body every 7 years as every cell completely regenerates—this is because during those 7 years, a lot is occurring beneath the surface as cells die and regenerate. The same thing seems to occur in other areas of life, for I'd say that I was preparing for this change gradually and beneath the surface over the past 7 years (or 9 years actually) although from the outside there has been no evidence of it–until the past 34 days happened!
Just like one day you see a moving truck pull in or pull out in your neighborhood, it didn't happen overnight. Weeks and months of physical preparation occurred and probably years of subconscious preparation was going on too. It's like a couple who walks into divorce court one day—to the casual observer it appears sudden, but a lot of changes were occurring beneath the surface to arrive at that point. And sometimes the couple themselves aren't fully aware until a year or months before the actual day of the divorce, but they were working up to that point from the moment they said "I do" during the wedding ceremony. Change is inevitable and it is imperative if there is to be growth and any type of re-birth at all and change is Life Itself. As they say on Star Treck, "Resistance is Futile."
I sometimes want to laugh when people look for that long-lasting, unchanging situation or job or love partner or place to live. Most of the time long-lasting isn't in the cards and it's a good thing—we need new experiences in order to grow and evolve. It's also how we can comfort ourselves when we think that times are bad—we can feel certain nothing will last forever, not even the so-called bad times. Life is nothing BUT change and we suffer when we deny the impermanence of it all.
Last Friday my landlady came to settle up with me as far as the security deposit and rent and to say goodbye. That was an emotional day! She accepted a little gift from me for being so nice over the years—I gave her a white blooming hydrangea [see photo]. Tears were part of that scenario. She and I and her mother were together in a Cherokee lifetime here in the mountains—she doesn't believe in reincarnation but does not deny a strong connection between us.
Anyway, I wasn't done with tears however, because after my landlord left, I went to the post office to fill out a change of address form and found myself feeling sad about saying goodbye to someone who I usually made simple small talk with. "Awwwh, you're not moving are you?" That's all he said and that did it! As I walked out the door after filling out the forms I turned and said, "It was nice knowing you…", knowing I will likely never see that person again. There's a bit of sadness in that—letting go of the familiar, the routine, the comfortable. I went to the grocery store after that and purchased a small basket of comfort food and came home to watch re-runs of Grey's Anatomy followed by Anna and The King with Jodie Foster and now my face is breaking out like a teenager!
I'm conceiving the astrology class metaphysically, creating it in my mind. My grandson knows a lot about making and editing videos so maybe that can be part of the process. I'm camera shy when I let my ego be too much a part the process so that will be a challenge!
I guess this is all I am in the mood to write or have the time for right now. I have clients to call back and best be moving on. I am excited to be neighbors with my daughters and grandchildren and am reminding myself that even though paying the higher rent is going to be something I can go into great fear over being able to do, that worrying about it is… well, you know!
I think that we can feel as those final changes happen—that move or divorce or whatever it is—whether the change feels supported. In other words, even though it may take 7 years or 9 years or even longer for the physical change to reach the surface where matter starts moving—it moves easily or not. If it does move easily, then this is how I feel assured that the change is supported and/or fated or pre-determined. I may not know the restructuring is happening for 7 or 9 years that the shift beneath occurs. And when change does happen, it seems sudden even though there have been (over time) minor intuitions or flashes or hunches. When it does happen, it does seem sudden and is often accompanied by some uncertainty. YET, and here's my point, when the doors open, energy cooperates, events go smoothly and no obstacle stands in the way—one marvels at the seeming support that The Universe or the Divine Forces apparently give.
Here's the truth that I believe. It's all been in the works all the while and has picked up speed like a train going down the mountain (pun intended) and it's marvelous to marvel at! Word repetition intended there too. It can be genius and one stands there wonder-struck! That's change that's imperative.
Okay, well there it is—my experience shared and accompanying thoughts here on Day #34 for whatever it's worth. I may not have time to blog again until I'm there in the new place, the upstairs tree house dorm room at the rental community that I'm calling Hogwarts! I will watch for the changing staircases, mudbloods and muggles and all the rest and if you're a Harry Potter fan, you know what I mean.
There are only 3 more days up here where I've spent the last 15+ years. On the 4th day it's off to a new adventure. A rebirth if you will – here's hoping the new life is a good one! It better be, it's taken 9 years to prepare for it!
Nice, small, e-z to clean, cozy central heat and air apartment with a pool on the premises here I come. Visualizing: Oh, who's that down there knocking on my door? Why it's one of my grandchildren with one of my daughter's. C'mon up you guys!

Florida Panthers General Manager Jacques Martin announced today that forward Michal Repik has been recalled from the Rochester Americans (AHL).
The recall is the second of the season for Repik, who will join the Panthers this evening to compete in tonight's National Hockey League contest against the Buffalo Sabres. Face-off is slated for 7:00 p.m. at HSBC Arena.
A native of Vlasim, Czech Republic, the 20-year-old has skated in four games with the Panthers this season. He made his NHL debut on December 8th and scored his first NHL goal that night in Florida's 4-3 overtime win against the Ottawa Senators. In 60 American Hockey League contests with the Amerks, the 5-foot-10, 180-pound forward has registered a team-high 41 points along with 50 penalty minutes. His 18 goals are also a team best and remains 12th in scoring among league rookies.
Florida's second-round selection (40th overall) in the 2007 NHL Entry Draft, Repik has a goal in last four outings with Rochester and has 22 points (11+11) in his last 20 games.

What will this mean for The Butterworth Group? Not too much, actually. We'll be forced to make a change at some point, but that's merely from a legal standpoint. It won't have an impact on our day-to-day operations. Here are some of the things we're currently considering:
No Immediate Change Required. HomeSmart is treating this acquisition more like a merger, with both brands running in parallel for the next year or so. This means that although the ownership has changed hands, the Dan Schwartz Realty license is still in good standing, and we'll have plenty of time to analyze our choices and make the best decision we can.
Similar Companies. The founder of HomeSmart once worked for Dan Schwartz Realty, and the companies share a similar philosophy and operational structure.
Size and Locations. There can be an advantages to having several thousand colleagues, and offices scattered around the city.
Other Options. As long as change (of some sort) will be required, we are taking this opportunity to explore the various options available to us.
People Matter Most. We're currently with Dan Schwartz Realty, not because of the commission splits, the office facilities, the training, or the support. In fact, we operate as an almost autonomous group. We're with this office because of one man – the owner and designated broker, Duane Fouts. Duane is someone whom I respect, trust, admire, and genuinely like. (and I think/hope the feelings are mutual!)
We may move our group over to HomeSmart, or we may move to a different brokerage entirely. I'm not sure exactly when we'll make the change – probably within the next couple of months – but I can guaranty 2 things:
1. The move to a new office, whichever office that might be, will NOT have a negative impact on our clients. If anything, hopefully we can use this opportunity to provide even MORE value.
2. We will end up at an office owned and operated by someone whom we respect, trust, admire, and genuinely like. You can count on that.
Your making the most out of change Realtor,
Chris Butterworth
