Many creatives balk at the idea of time management, structure and systems. Does this sound like you?
Don't put me in a box.
Don't stop my creative flow.
You want me to pick just one idea?
I've been thinking a lot about time management and productivity – even before we rebranded our podcast to Structure & Flow: The Productivity Podcast for Creative Entrepreneurs.
Why do we believe we never have enough time?
I had a big aha, earth shattering, light bulb moment when reading The Power of Full Engagement by Jim Loehr and Tony Schwartz.
Jim Loehr and Tony Schwartz say that "managing energy, not time, is the key to high performance and personal renewal."
What if we stopped focusing on time management and instead start focusing on energy management?
What would my life look like if I paid attention to how I am feeling, not what I am doing or not doing?
In the book they share stories of their work with professional tennis players and other athletes. Built into their training, their life and the cycle of their sport are long periods of rest and renewal. They spend at least 4 months a year recuperating from the intensity of their season.
Sounds like a dream come true, right? But really, who has 4 months a year to rest?
You do, if you want it.
Isn't that why you became an entrepreneur? To create your own schedule, to enjoy freedom and flexibility?
Sigh… this is my 17th year as a business owner and not once have I taken 4 months off.
Part of my problem is that I adore my work. We are busy building and expanding right now. I don't want to take 4 months off.
But I appreciate the need for rest and renewal. I recently spent 5 days in Portland, Oregon deepening friendships and making art at a retreat called Tangle U. I returned home feeling completely filled up.
I didn't work while I was there.
I didn't worry about work while I was there.
I came home refreshed and excited about what's next.
Here are my two best secrets to changing your relationship to time so that you can take time off and still grow the profitable business you want.
1. Manage your energy not your time.
My guess is that you are doing too much in your business. With all of the opportunities to be marketing, sharing and creating it can be easy to lost sight of what matters most: YOU!
Your health and self-care are essential to your business success. You cannot serve others from an empty well.
It's essential to your business success that you are paying attention to when you are working, how much you are working and what the results are of the work you are doing. Are you just spinning your wheels? Are you waiting until too late in the day when you are already tired to do work you don't enjoy?
You get to decide how much time off you need and how frequently. Managing time is a choice. And a healthy habit.
Are you building a business that will sustain you financially, emotionally, mentally and spiritually?
I am not a stellar example of taking time off. In fact, Brad and I just celebrated our 23rd wedding anniversary and he wrote me a lovely letter. One of his comments in the letter is that we need more down time. It's true. I don't want to wait until our annual trip to Petite Riviere, Nova Scotia in August to relax. Sounds ridiculous when I say it.
Noticing how I felt after my art-filled trip to Portland was a powerful reminder that I need these mental, emotional and spiritual breaks from my work. No matter how much I love what I do, I can't give from an empty tank.
2. Planning is the secret to managing your time.
Wondering how on earth to start doing less? To build in time for rest and renewal?
You need a plan.
And once you create the plan, you have to follow the plan.
In working with thousands of entrepreneurs over the past 17 years, the biggest mistake I see (and the biggest one I made when running my publishing company for 11 years) was not having a business plan in place that pointed me in the direction of the future I wanted to create.
I found myself working so hard, getting overtired, being grumpy with my husband and kids. For what?
I didn't have a clear picture of what I wanted to my life or my business to look like. I was stumbling blindly through a forest, not knowing I needed a path.
Planning has become a habit in our current business. And when we don't spend time planning, we start spinning our wheels and getting overwhelmed.
We have an annual business plan, a quarterly plan and we know what we are working on monthly, weekly and daily. We look at our promotions and make sure we aren't doing too much. We are learning to slow down in order to speed up.
We are doing more of the right things to create engagement, connection and profit in our business.
What can you do to start managing your energy and making a habit of planning?
- Grab your journal or some blank paper and some fun markers. What would your ideal work week look like? How could you build in some regular time for rest and relaxation?
- Conduct a time audit. Use an app like ATracker or Toggl and track your time every day for at least 7 days. Be honest about how you are spending your time. How close are your to living your ideal day and week? And if your not close, why not? Nothing will change until you get clear about where your time is going.
- Finally, if you don't have a business plan in place, consider joining us in the Creative Business Accelerator. We will teach you how to design a simple, one-page business road map that will help you to manage your time and your energy. And how to go from your business plan to a step-by-step plan for growing your business every day, without burning out.

This article is the sixth and last in a series about SUNY Broome alumni at Tioga Downs Casino Resort. Click here for the first article in the series, which details the diverse career opportunities at the Tioga County business and introduces you to HR director Karen Shelp, a SUNY Broome alumna. Click here to read about Alicia Iacovelli, the sales manager planning the upcoming Alumni Event. Click here to read about Brianna Sheppard, Tioga Downs' social media maven. Click here to read about Michelle Jones, who switched careers within the company. Click here to read about Stephen Gaug and Lauren Platner, who work on the gaming room floor.
Thirteen years ago, Wendy Schrader joined Tioga Downs to work in its financial office. The company looked far different then: No hotel or casino, no spa or restaurant. Well, to be honest, not much in the way of buildings at all on its swathe of green in Nichols.
"We started in a trailer with a computer and two cell phones. Now here we are!" said the SUNY Broome alumna, who is now the company's senior regional director of finance. "This has been a really great experience, watching this company grow."
Tioga Downs Casino Resort has come a long way since its start, and so has Schrader – while staying a little closer to home. She grew up 10 miles down the road from Tioga Downs and started her financial career working for two small accounting firms, before landing a job she loved at Johnson Outdoors in Binghamton.
Tioga Downs presented not only a professional opportunity, but a way to cut her commute significantly. Still, she applied with mixed feelings; she was happy at Johnson Outdoors, even if it was a bit of a drive. In the end, the gamble paid off and she found herself with another vibrant career.
"There are so many different activities that go on here. Casino, racing, restaurants, events, concerts, hotel, a spa. Here, you get it all – except for manufacturing," she said. "There is always something going on."
And that can make for a complex operation. Schrader oversees accounts payable, finance, the cage – where cashiers redeem vouchers for winning customers – and the money rooms both at Tioga Downs and Vernon Downs, and assists with operations at the Meadowlands, all of which are owned by Jeff Gural.
"One of the best aspects of the casino industry is the number of people you get to meet," she said. "For such a small industry, it seems like everyone knows everyone. I know people in Nevada."
Wendy came to SUNY Broome as an adult learner – also called a "non-traditional student," meaning that she didn't head to college directly after high school. Before college, she had worked retail, beginning with the iconic Endicott-Johnson shoes, which had its start in the area.
"I think SUNY Broome was a good place to start. It was a good transition for me, being out of school for ten years," she remembered. "Being local made it very convenient."
She enjoyed her professors and her classes, and was a member of the honor society Phi Theta Kappa. After earning her degree in Business Administration, she headed to SUNY Oswego where she earned her bachelor's in Business Administration with an accounting emphasis and then her master's degree.
She still has all her books from her SUNY Broome days and even pulls them out every now and then, she said.
"It was a great time! I loved SUNY Broome," she said.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for Operation Troop Appreciation, West Mifflin, PA, USA
OTA is a wonderful organization that goes above and beyond to assist our troops by lifting their spirits and making everyday life a little bit easier. They do not seek profit lines like other troop programs, which shows OTA's heart and soul dedication to the core.
OTA assisted my brother and his team multiple times while overseas and my brother mentioned on several occasions how great it was to get the packages with the simplest common household items. Since my brother was the main point of contact with OTA, he became very popular among the other squads and word about OTA spread quickly.
I highly recommend this organization in everything they do and stand for! Please consider supporting them!

Runes meanings ‹Uruz-Raidho-Jera› three runes divination
1. Uruz (uruz)
In the first position the value of the runes - favorable circumstances, potential. Appearing in the forecast, Uruz symbolizes the heyday of change for the better. The feeling of strength, beauty, sensuality, attractiveness, desire to work, promising new opportunities - not a complete list of changes included in the life of the questioner is now. Happy chance, which is now given, has great potential, the correct use of which usually leads to the well-being and prosperity.
Uruz reverse
In the first position - laziness, weakness of character, missed opportunities. In this position, Uruz is indicative of inertial motion, with no brakes. The process has gone out of control, and now it is time to change the situation is not in the line, which originally wanted. Apparently, excessive daydreaming, weakness of character, or laziness, or allowed to miss the chance to benefit. Listen to your feelings, what images fill your mind right now? In those images is the reason not as the expected change. Sometimes it is a sign of events that do not occur in due time - either early or late. However, with positive runes indicates a change for the better.
2. Raidho (raidho)
In the second position - communication skills, logic, communication recovery. Rune advises to create or restore the correct sequence of actions, continue to move in the same direction as before. In some cases, the Board is not so distant runes journey or the flight of creative thought.
Raidho reverse
In the second position - to show a sense of humor, make a nonsense in the best sense of the word. The main thing is not to rush things and to be patient and wait.
3. Jera (jera)
In the third position - not soon, but still favorable outcome of any business, legal assistance. Vintage, whatever it may be, will be collected.

I had heard that the Fabric Company had been a victim of vandalism and was in the process of replacing their windows today. I stopped by their shop and on the wall of the exterior of the building facing 6th Street, I noticed the following question staring me in the face?
What is Art?
I came to the conclusion that this was "not" art. My logic was the lack of artistry or creativity. But I am not an expert. Please let me know what you think by responding to the poll on the side banner.

Creepy! The family of the deceased, Don Relova, is asking people to help identify the two suspects captured on a motel's CCTV camera. Watch the video and see the faces of a young man and woman who were the last two people seen leaving the room of the murder victim.
One wonders what a 69-year-old broker would be doing in a motel at 4 in the afternoon, followed by a couple that looks like they checked in a room on the same floor.
The young woman enters the broker's room (an escort?), followed an hour later by her companion who changes into a white T-shirt.
Both leave the broker's room minutes later with the man having changed into a black T-shirt.
The victim's body was found six hours later.
Broker found dead in motel room
Cops looking for mystery woman, cohort
By Niña Calleja
Philippine Daily Inquirer, Tuesday, September 20th, 2011
Was it a case of robbery or revenge?
A 69-year-old real estate broker was found dead inside a motel room in Mandaluyong City before midnight on Monday.
According to the police, Don Relova, a resident of Sta. Ana, Manila, was poisoned and struck on the head with a hard object.
His body was found inside the Sogo Hotel on Kalentong Street in Barangay Pag-asa.
All his valuables, however, were missing, including his jewelry, cell phone and a wallet containing cash and identification cards.
Chief Insp. Jaime Masilang, head of the Mandaluyong police investigation unit, said the victim checked in by himself at 4:49 p.m. on Monday.
Six hours later, the motel supervisor found him lying lifeless on the bed in his underwear. He had a head wound while there were gray powder stains on his mouth and cheeks.
Masilang said an empty bottle of rat poison was found in the toilet which led them to believe that he could have been poisoned before he was hit in the head with a heavy object.
Also recovered beside the body was a letter which referred to the victim in unflattering terms.
Masilag said the letter writer, who had yet to be identified by the police, described Relova as a bad person without any sense of delicadeza in addition to being a miser and a lecher.
Based on the initial results of the police investigation, a check of the footage taken by one of the motel's closed circuit television (CCTV) cameras showed a woman entering the victim's room followed by a man an hour later.
The two came out of the room after a few minutes.
Masilang said they were waiting for the results of the autopsy conducted on the victim's body to determine his cause of death.
"We still can't give any conclusions about the motive for the killing until the investigation is complete," he added.
According to him, they were coordinating with motel employees to obtain a copy of the CCTV footage which could help them identify the victim's killers.

Enchanted Arms
The first 360-exclusive RPG from Ubisoft & From Software.
Xbox 360
From Software
Enchanted Arms claims to be Xbox 360's first exclusive RPG, which I found confusing as Oblivion is without doubt one of the best games on the console. Then I realised - Oblivion is also available on PC. Regardless: apart from the NPC characters you have to talk to, and leveling up to increase your power, the two games have almost nothing in common. Oblivion is a shining example of what RPGs are capable of with next-gen power and graphics; Enchanted Arms on the other hand seems to have both feet planted firmly in the past.
From the outset, the game harks back to Final Fantasy and a Japenese RPG stereotype seen in so many FF rip-offs. Trying to add something different, it decides its best bet is to borrow from another RPG staple: Pokémon.
Stereotypes can provide a template for games and indeed every genre benfits from them. Enchanted Arms is so entangled in them that the game designers have had their hands tied behind their backs whenever an original idea popped into their heads. The game often feels like it was designed to be the Final Fantasy X follow-up that never was, but while FFX was a great game, it's now four years old and entirely last-generation. Enchanted Arms also looks like a PS2 game, with very few stand out graphical moments. Outside of the pre-rendered cutscenes, only London Castle impresses. Unfortunately, even the cutscenes are not nearly as dramatic, for the most part, as the scenes in FFX.
The opening involves a 'flashback' scene from later in the game, pitting you against a huge boss in a fight you cannot hope to win. Once you have been beaten, the game intro kicks off and you find yourself with a super-manga-haired-big-eyed Japanese hero, sleeping through a lecture at university. For the next 4 hours you can expect to continually press A while two characters, superimposed on a near static backdrop, talk. Again, the power of next gen is entirely disregarded. The characters animation flicks between one pose and another as they talk. Frequently, a hand will land on a characters mouth in mock surprise as they say "What?....". Otherwise, characters stand around and their lips move as they talk.
Speech is another missed chance for Enchanted Arms. While after most cut scenes the characters voicing is good, it abruptly stops as you carry on conversing with characters through the level. I've not been able to work out quite why some scenes have characters chatting away to each other (as long as you press A after every full stop) yet they suddenly go silent, leaving subtitles at the bottom of the screen as the mute characters lipsync to silence. Considering a certain other RPG mentioned above lets you stand next to non-player characters and listen to them talk about where they go for dinner, Enchanted Arms's speech comes off as plain lazy.
I really need to point out that the first four or five hours of the game are extremely tedious because of this. You listen to (or read) the endless prattle of various characters talking to each other, pressing A at the end of every sentence. Fights are very very few and far between. While this is setting the plot for the rest of the game to come, I was bored to tears. If it was not for the sake of this review, I may well have given up.
You'll not need to hit A just to communicate either. For most of the game, every time you encounter an obstacle you can expect to be told at great length that if you want to overcome said obstacle, you will have to "press A". Grapling hook, moving blocks, shops, healing stations, mining karts and more are all controlled by pressing A. You will also have to press A numerous times as you listen to one of your comrades explain this to you.
Not everything Enchamted Arms has to offer is bad. Once you are given the levels to run around in, after the first five hours, things do pick up. In Final Fantasy fashion, you're free to roam the (admitted linear) levels as you please, and you will face random battles every minute or so with a group of enemies. Battling is turn-based, with your team moving first unless you are surprised. Battle takes place on two grids facing each other, which are three squares deep by four wide. All your characters can move three squares left or right, however this is less when moving diagonally. Moving your characters is an important tactical part of the game, as some characters have ranged attacks, and they cannot share the same space.
Attacks cover various areas and each character and golem has their own unique skills. These skills have different attack patterns so while Atsuma, the main character, has a powerful punch combo, it only affects the square directly in front of him. Other attacks will affect three squares horizontally or vertically, or even areas bigger than these. Using the correct skills to ensure three or four characters attack the same opponent results in a combo. Combo damage is the result of each attack is added together and effects are added to all (so if one character uses a fire attack, all damage generated counts of fire damage).
Attacks and creatures are split into different opposinng elements; fire versus water; earth versus wind and lastly dark versus light. Opposing elements do double damage to each other, and creatures are resistant to their own elemental damage. You will need to ensure that you maximise your use of opposing elements to do damage quickly; a water creature who attacks a fire creature and fails to kill it faces a lot of damage next turn.
The creatures in the game you collect are magical powered statues called Golems. Collecting these as you progress is a major part of the appeal of the game. You can carry up to eight Golems with you at one time and with over 100 to collect in the game you'll struggle to decide which ones are your favourites as you progress! Any Golems that you do not need or want in your party are left at the numerous shops dotted around the world. Picking the right balance of Golems is important for fights, as a party made up entirely of one element can be vulnerable to another element.
Golems can be given custom names, and while not too important in the single player mode, it's great online where you can humilite opponents! Being able to give them cool names also means you form more of an attachment to your Golems. The online aspect of Enchanted Arms is good too. The one thing lacking in most Pokémon games was the ability to fight your friend's creatures. Online in Enchanted Arms you can pick your favourite Golems and get into a scrap almost straight away. Private slots are available if you want to choose to fight someone from your friends list. Creating games is a good idea if you are just starting at the game, as this allows you to set a limit on how high a level your opponent's characters can be. Going straight online with the default level 1 Golems is no fun when you come up against a level 300 Vampire who can wipe out your entire party in one move.
The fact that you will meet such characters, and see some of the awesome Golems you have still to come across provides great inspiration to get going through the one player mode and level up all your characters. New skills become available, attributes can be improved and new weapons can all be unlocked as you progress through the game.
For the disppointment that I had in the first five hours of the game, beyond it I am now playing quite compulsively. Hours and days will disappear as the game slowly draws you in. The plotline of the game also gets deeper the farther you get in, and there are some fine twists in the tale to keep things exciting. For all the game's unoriginal banality, it manages to be almost as addictive as Final Fantasy or Pokémon can be.

As the Environment s the Environment and Rural Development Foundation (ERuDeF) builds a robust and consistently growing sustainability plan, so comes the birth of the ERuDeF Biodiversity Business Initiative (EBiB Initiative). The ERu-DeF Biodiversity Business Initiative (EBiB Initiative) seeks to link the forest and biodiversity resources to the industrial and corporate sectors. Through this linkage, a substantial business volume is generated between the forest adjacent communities, the industrial and corporate sectors through the development of the economic value chains of the traded communities.
In order to capture the flow and quantify its resources (ori-gin of the commodities), volume of business transaction, the destination of the commodities, the financial investment involved and the profits generated, the social Business Division of ERuDeF launched two of its major mechanism of operation namely the Cameroon Biodiversity Business(CBB) Newsletter and the Silver Back Company (SBC).
This company is responsible for conducting the business operations between the forest adjacent communities and the industrial and corporate sectors. The Cameroon Biodiversity Business Newsletter has therefore come to inform not only the constituent stakeholders but also the wider public to better access the volume of business involved, the contributions of these marginalized communities to wealth creation and how they could be better assisted.
This maiden edition of this Newsletter analyses all the major stakeholders involved in the Biodiversity Business Initiative, the geographical scope of the commodities and the role the Biodiversity Business Initiative can play in financing biodi-versity conservation, local development and the overall eco-nomic development of Cameroon.
The CBB Newsletter is a monthly publication of the Social Business Division of ERuDeF. It will be managed by the Communication Department of ERuDeF. The Biodiversity Business Initiative range of commodities will include but not limited to Palm Oil and its by-products, Honey and its by-products, Non-timber forest products, products related to the commercialization of genetic re-sources and traditional knowledge as well as all other pro-ducts coming from the commercialization of the forest and biodiversity resources. The ERuDeF Biodiversity Business Initiative covers all the biodiversity hotpots and protected areas of Cameroon.
In this maiden edition of the CBB Newsletter, the geographical area of concentration is in the Lebialem Highlands in SW Cameroon. The Lebialem Highlands is one of the key signature conservation initiatives of ERuDeF in Cameroon. Within this geographical remit, ERuDeF is seeking to facilitate the creation of a community conservation trust fund whose whole remit will be to support community conservation in the Lebialem Highlands. The successful creation of this community foundation will pave the way for using bio-diversity business to create similar ones in the other regions of Cameroon and eventually the whole of Central Africa.

Series of "People's Bills" introduced to Detroit City Council
DETROIT (WJBK) - City Council President Pro Tem Mary Sheffield laid out several proposals Monday morning in what's been dubbed The People's Bills.
The proposals include different topics, ranging from water affordability to parking tickets.
For example, the proposal would chop the $45 parking ticket to $30 -- and if you pay within 10 days you'll only pay $15.
"This is about the people; these are the people's bills. The people have spoken loud and clear that they believe the parking fines in downtown Detroit are excessive," she told us. She added the bonds tied to the parking fines have been paid, so she says it's time to reduce the fines back down to pre-bankruptcy levels.
She also believes Detroiters should be the ones hired for the majority of construction jobs in the city.
"Right now, contractors aren't required to report whether or not they're hiring 51 percent of Detroit residents, and these are jobs that are in our community, low-level, low-skill jobs that our Detroiters should have access to. It's about economic justice and insuring Detroiters have access to the jobs that are created," she said.
Another issue aims to ease access to and improve awareness about a property tax exemption program. She joined us live to tell us more about some of her ideas. You can hear more in the video player above.

On top of our recent announcement of some exciting new features in the Video Marketing app we have now released new packages and subscription pricing.
With the increase in the use of the EAC Video Marketing solution by many offices for the creation of videos for their sale and property management listings, video blogs and other marketing initiatives, we have had several requests to introduce new subscription packages.
Previously the lowest monthly subscription package available was up to 20 videos but with the current market conditions in which we are seeing lower stock level in many parts of Australia, many agencies just didn't have the stock to justify the investment.
We are pleased to announce that we have now introduced new lower pricing for the Stabiliser Kits, two new subscription packages and have reduced the pricing for the Up to 20 Videos and Unlimited Video packages. Initially we had bundled in a Stabiliser Kit in with the Up to 20 Videos and Unlimited Video packages but the feedback we received was that many agencies were OK with up-front investment.
New Stabiliser Kit Pricing
New Member and Standard Subscriptions
Group Pricing
Group pricing is available to Elders, Belle, One Agency and Laing + Simmons offices across Australia.
With the investment now as little as $12.00 a video there is no reason not to have a video on every one of your listings, providing you a point of difference while also meeting the needs of today's real estate consumers.

After a nearly decade-long effort to pick a new pistol for the US military, the Army's Program Executive Office‑Soldier awarded its Modular Handgun System (MHS) contract to SIG Sauer on January 19, 2017. More than two years later, the Army says that the program is still on track for planned purchases—but the Army's budget requests for 2020 indicate that the service is slowing its draw for at least the next year.
The MHS program is the Army's effort to replace the pistol that has been the standard military sidearm since 1986—the Beretta M9, which had been the Army's first service-wide pistol since the venerable Colt M1911 .45 caliber pistol. SIG Sauer's pistols for the MHS program are based on SIG Sauer's P320 pistol—a favorite of law enforcement. Like the Beretta M9, both the full-size XM-17 and compact XM-18 are chambered for 9-millimeter bullets. But the MHS pistols are primarily designed to fire a "special purpose" bullet—a jacketed hollow point round intended, as the Army's requirements documents stated, to "create a larger wound channel."

Chicago's Shedd Aquarium and Urban Rivers have joined forces to implement what Patrick M. O'Connell calls "the beginning of a vision to turn the old industrial channel on Goose Island's eastern edge into a 'wild mile,' an eco-park of floating plants, wetlands, kayak piers and public walkways."
Shedd's floating garden plan calls for the addition of "260 square feet of native plants such as swamp rose mallow, marsh marigold, Dudley's rush and queen-of-the-prairie to the 1,500 square feet installed a year ago by Urban Rivers."
While the design is "wildlife-first," it also promises to rejuvenate the former industrial district for human use. "With people now flocking to the banks of the river downtown along the booming Riverwalk, the Urban Rivers and Shedd projects are designed to boost the river habitat while delivering appealing, accessible experiences to the more industrial, less trafficked stretches of the river."

The Yamal large landing craft (RIA Novosti/Alexey Kudenko)
The Russian naval presence in the Mediterranean Sea will be boosted by another military vessel till the end of September, according to the country's Black Sea Fleet command.
The large landing ship, Yamal, is set to depart from the port of Sevastopol, Ukraine by the end of the month to join the 10 vessels Russia already has in Mediterranean waters.
"The Yamal's crew has completed preparations for relocation to the Mediterranean Sea," Captain Vyacheslav Trukhachev, the Black Sea Fleet information chief told ITAR-TASS news agency. "As part of the preparatory period, the ship has performed several drive outs, which included target practice on sea and land."
The Yamal will represent the country at the annual 'Russian Weeks' forum in Greece, which this year will be hosted by the Ionian Islands.
The large landing ship – commanded by Captain Sergey Gritsay – is also expected to be called to the Greek port of Pylos and to visit Montenegro, Trukhachev added.
The Yamal vessel, which has been in service since 1988, is designed for landing operations and the transportation of military personnel and cargo. It's able to carry up to 250 troops and 10 tanks. Read Entire Story in RT

Calorie Tracker Excel – Track Calories & Macros
Initially, put this calorie tracker Excel spread sheet together for personal use only. It's been an extremely useful tool in my mission for fat loss so I decided to share it with you guys.
Let me give you a run down on how this spreadsheet can be useful for either weight loss or bulking. Firstly, this spreadsheet can only be used with a linear diet plan. Linear dieting is simply hitting the same calorie and macronutrient targets everyday. I have done the carb cycling and fasting diets before and from personal experience, they have been no more effective that plain old linear dieting. As long as my calorie expenditure is greater than calories consumed I have always managed to lose weight.
Something I have learnt over the years is it's better to measure and monitor calories over a 7 day period rather than daily. This way of dieting allows you to be a little less strict in regards to counting calories daily. It also allows you to get back on track if you 'unintentionally' over indulge on a particular day. Let's be honest, this can happen! For example: If I go over my daily calorie limit by 100 calories on Monday, I can reduce my calories the next day to even out the scale again.
See the image example below for a week's worth or varying calories. As you can see I had a bit of a blow out on the Saturday and went 600 kcal over my target. However, my calorie target for the week was exact due to lower calorie days earlier in the week.
Tracking your calories over the week is where this Calorie Tracker Excel document comes in. By entering just a few cells of data each day you can easily keep on track.
As long as you know your daily calorie and macro requirements (protein, fats and carbs) you're ready to go. If you don't, there's only one place to go to work these figures out. IIFYM (If It Fits Your Macros) have by far the best daily energy expenditure calculators going. In simple terms, the amount of calories needed to either lose weight or gain muscle.
Although there appears to be lots of numbers within the calorie tracker excel, it's really quite simple to use. Enter your daily calories in to the box highlighted Red. Enter your macro targets in to the fields to the right, highlighted in Green. Once you have entered in this data the rest of the fields will auto-populate and your good to go. Keep track of your calories and macros consumed in the boxes highlighted in Orange.
The reset data button is pretty self explanatory. You only need to use this once a week to clear all the data you have entered during the 7 days.
I hope you find my Calorie Tracker Excel useful. If you have any problems or ideas for additions to the spreadsheet please leave a comment below.

Medical Services Manager
"I hadn't worked in this field prior to coming to work for Columbus Center for Human Services, Inc. Now, I could never imagine working with any other group of people. It is truly a different adventure every day. I believe it is important to give them the best possible care while assisting them to achieve their personal goals. Whether their goal is a job in the community, moving into a more independent living situation, or going on a long-wished-for vacation, CCHS always puts individuals' needs, wants, and concerns above all else."

What does it feel like? What does it do to you? Where does it lead?
In a few words, peaceful, resolve, and with very little anxiety, but unless something, somebody, a higher being intercedes through physical or emotional interjection, a person that is resolved to go over the edge will accomplish the goal, regardless.
The "easy way out", the "cowards way out", a "selfish act", are in themselves the farthest from the truth. The mental "pain" associated with a deep depression is something that consumes you TOTALLY. The non-stop churning of the mind trying to make sense of worth, of hope or hopelessness, of care or despair, of need or needless suffering. It is the most difficult decision I have ever made. Fortunately, my looking over the edge gave me reason to believe, through whichever means that saved me that night, that it wasn't time for me to take the leap.
I've dealt with two suicidal periods within the last eight years. The first time was soon after my diagnosis with Parkinson's Disease in 2007 (see blog post – Angels Among Us). The second time occurred just this past summer. Sadly enough, just like someone saying to a person whose disability is unseen, that they look good and have everything going for them, "none the wiser" would be what I would describe most people whom I would have interacted with in the last few months.
I find the word depressed and depression used widely and we all experience moments, or days, or situations in which we feel "down", overwhelmed and just want to go hide somewhere until we regroup, recoup, or otherwise start feeling normal again
Depression is different, and for me, begins with feeling tired, mentally worn out as if physically drained but only in the mental form. I recall four distinct phases. The first phase began with the mind not being able to stop the feeling of hopelessness (not much is worth it), helplessness (not sure anyone can help), and of gloom and doom (nothing I do will make a difference).
Phase two went into the "If I'm not around, what would happen?" People laugh and they enjoy each others' company through many different situations but the detachment continues and settles into "no one would miss the fact that I'm not physically here, so this is where I plan to leave for good because everyone will do better without me or all will go better without me in the way".
Phase three is what I would describe the rationalization phase. "Since I'm not needed, then those left behind will be able to continue living productive lives". If they're very young, after a few weeks they'll forget that I was ever a part of their lives, or older children may find it difficult to accept or understand but their lives will continue and memories will keep them going, older individuals have their lives to live and will stay busy.
Phase four has the mental pain continuing and thoughts turn to ideations about wanting the pain to stop, end, or otherwise dull the pain. This point may be the most painful for many to read or hear about, but it allowed a most peaceful, rational time in the whole process when I looked over the edge.
I'm in the backyard on a swinging bench at 4 a.m. on a Sunday morning looking toward the patio and thinking/planning my final act that will free me from the mental pain/anguish. My thoughts turn to going into the shed, taking a piece of rope (noose not necessary) to tie around my neck, which allows me to reach up to the horizontal beam to secure it, and finding a stool tall enough that will allow me to hang, allowing whatever happens to happen quickly, not allowing me to have recourse to anything that will help "save" me because this is NOT a cry for help. I want it all to stop.
Divine intervention, positive thoughts, prayers from many, or whatever else you believe in allowed me the sense of mind to think, "If I do this at the intended spot, anyone who looks out the back door will never be able to look outside and not be reminded of what they saw, heard about, knew about what I had done. Still not thinking enough on the rational scale, I thought, "Why don't I do all that I intended on the far side of the patio?" Looking straight out from the back door would not be in the line of sight…
I got up from the swing, walked into the house, closed the door, and turned out the lights (in case second thoughts would prevail), because after all, looking over the edge did give me a sense of peace and an eerie calmness, but I was pulled back for whatever reason, purpose, or plan, and began the difficult path to finding relief for the pain that was still there.
Please know that I am doing well and have been able to get my symptoms completely under control with my medication regimen.

We have been using MBTP for quite some time now ( we did all of of 5-7, working on 6-8, some of 7-9, all of 8-10, and working on 9-11 with my oldest) and I often find myself answering a lot of questions and helping people with choosing if the curriculum is right for them. In the end I tell most people, unless you try it, you will probably not find out. But there are a few things to consider in making the first steps of figuring out if the curriculum is worth considering. Now is a good time to consider buying a test unit. The spring fling will be happening more than likely in early spring time again and maybe, just maybe you have might up your mind by then if you want to order a whole year set and will be able to take advantage of the 10%. We would greatly appreciate if you order through our blog , it will not cost you anything extra, you are only helping another homeschool family out continuing our adventure of learning.
- What is a literature based curriculum ?
A literature-based curriculum uses mainly "living books". Books that are fun, engage your child in a real story instead of a textbook. You might find that you already own a lot of these books, a lot of classics are included in the wonderful selection for each level as well as many fun, historical fiction books.
(Historical fiction tells a story that is set in the past. That setting is usually real and drawn from history, and often contains actual historical persons, but the principal characters tend to be fictional. Writers of stories in this genre, while penning fiction, attempt to capture the manners and social conditions of the persons or time(s) presented in the story, with due attention paid to period detail and fidelity.)
My kids are bookworms and have been independent readers from early on, so this curriculum fits our needs very well and we have truly enjoyed just about every book. After all it is still a box curriculum though. A box curriculum is designed for many, many children all at the same time. It will not suit everybody and just because it is right for us does not mean it will be right for you.
You can find more about what a literature based curriculum is here.
- My child is still a slow reader ? Will this mean this curriculum will be a bad fit for us ?
Not at all. In the younger levels most often you are still encouraged to read the books with your child. Read aloud, talk and answer questions about the book together, simply share time together while learning. This way you also encourage and teach your child to study independently in the later levels, starting 9-11 the curriculum is directly addressed towards the student. Some parents still choose to read aloud during many of the later studies just because it is fun and builds a great connection between you and your children,it works wonderfully too, when you have multiple children doing the same level.
- The daily lesson plan seems too much ! How can we make this work with all our extra activities ?
Even though Moving beyond the page offers a lesson plan for the whole year level I have talked to many people that just feel overwhelmed by it and have to tweak it. When I first opened the curriculum books, i felt overwhelmed myself and it took me a little while to make it right for us. I have found that with most "box curriculum" you have to tweak it a little here or there, after all it was " mass designed " by someone else for many other people. I now plan once a week, read through the next 5-6 lessons ahead and see what activities seem right for us, and which we might just skip. I have found that MBTP offers a good variety of different activities in each lesson, but not each one is a must and there is sometimes a bit too much repetition for us.
Then there is another way. You simply do not have to choose the whole years worth. The curriculum works well as a supplemental curriculum, or simply unit studies. You could easily pick and choose a few units ( even let your children pick) and just do those. Remember the beauty of homeschooling is that you can pick and choose. You can make it right for your family. Every one is different so there is never a one fits all solution.
- Can I do levels with multiple, different aged children ?
Absolutely. Each level has a suggested age range, like 6-8, 8-10 and so on. Most often kids will fit into the suggested level. Reading can easily be done together in a group and many activities are enagging and fun for younger kids as well. Most often if you follow the guided age suggestion and possibly do the placement test you will figure out if it will work .
Also many activities in the lessons have options. You can make it easier or harder. You can have your younger child work on an easier version than your older one, but they will still both have the benefit of learning from each other.
- I see a lot writing activities , worksheets and worry my child will not enjoy it ?
It all depends on you and how you will use the curriculum. Each lesson has a wide option of activities, some that might just be suggestions or little task for your area, like go outside to the park and find different types of habitats. Another day the activity will encourage you to go to the zoo, or go interview somebody in the community. Then there will be "worksheets" that go along with the subjects, but they are often different than your average worksheets. They often require a little talk, additional discussion and inspiration to get your child started. Also you will train your child towards independent research online. Many of these things were a big change for us at the beginning of homeschooling in general (especially for my child that spend two years in public school) , but over time and a bit of guidance she learnt to work more fluently and independent on her own.
During some units you will come upon some really big activities (go to the Zoo, go to the beach, go to the museum ) that might just require a day of " vacation". Often this might not fit into your schedule at all, but it has opened us up to do more " fun stuff" in general and we try to just make time. Some activities seemed ordinary at first and I thought about skipping them, but then when I thought about it a bit more I found that we so often do not pay attention to the little things and this activity will actually , really let us focus on THAT particular thing we are trying to learn, like going to the zoo and just watch one certain type of animals or even try to arrange a meeting with a zookeeper and have a long discussion.
Back in Texas we went to the Zoo every few months ,going to just see the birds for example seemed "ordinary" but how often do we end up at the zoo, try to do it all and are not able to give each animal its special attention ? How often do you go and really just watch the "hawks" for 30 minutes and try to study just them ?
Sometimes there will be activities when you are supposed to literally "interview" people. I am a shy person myself and honestly often would just rather avoid conversation with strangers. These activities have gotten us out of our little bubble. They have brought us closer to our community and let my children even be in charge. We have not always been able to interview people for every subject suggested of course, but so often once we thought about finding the right person we were surprised who we found that could participate and have great information. For example, when my little one asked one of our librarians back in Texas what he did in his job, if he enjoyed , what made him become a librarian etc…. She had the biggest and proudest smile on her face and still often talks about this little activity.
When we don't find a matching person, there are always options. There are many books that describe people with different jobs, cultural backgrounds or experiences. Sometimes we even get lucky and find a great video on YouTube about it.
There are many ways you can make the curriculum flexible and very hands on.
- My child is still struggling with writing in general. Can we make it work ?
Many studies show that especially for younger children, narrating and dictation are great tools for learning. If your child struggles at the beginning to form her own stories try to come up with ideas on how to make it easier. We use a white board or chalk board and often brain storm. Some activities in the younger levels only require a few words, while others might encourage your child to come up with a whole story. When we struggle with ideas we grab our pencils and colors and just try to make the lesson fun.
If you are ever curious about the curriculum, feel free to write me or the company itself, directly. I am only an affiliate with them and do not work for them and do not necessarily earn much for anything I write about the curriculum, unless you click on the little links and actually order something. But we have honestly enjoyed most of our time with it and I feel good about sharing our adventure and telling others about the curriculum itself. Everyone is different though and just like homeschooling itself, not everyone will like it. In the end you know your child and family best and can make the decision. I am only another homeschool mom, sharing our time of learning and living. If you are a little more curious about trying it, you can always order a test unit, try it and see if this will work out at all, instead of spending your money on a whole year level !
So long and as always,
Happy Homeschooling

Natural Handmade Soap
Choose natural handmade soap
Our customers often comment that they can't use store-bought soap because it dries and irritates their skin. There are soaps for the face, body, hair, pets, household purposes- you name it! But are all soaps created equally? No, and neither are they "bad" or excessively drying – if you chose the right kind. Choose natural handmade soap.
Commercial soaps are available everywhere for very low prices, and these could be especially drying to your skin. Soaps like these are better classified as detergents, the stuff you use to wash your clothes and dishes. They can also include preservatives, cheap synthetic fillers, and fragrances that can flare up allergies and sensitivities in some people.
What is in your commercial Soap.
Read the ingredients panel of many of the soaps on our supermarket and chemist shelves and you will see a long list of unpronounceable chemicals. Commercial soaps are basically detergents; these can cause irritation, drying and even allergic reactions. Certain chemical ingredients can potentially cause problems for your skin when applied as a liquid or bar soap and are best avoided.
Choose a natural handmade soap that is free from synthetic colouring agents. Toluene, made from petroleum or coal tar, is found in most synthetic fragrances. Synthetic fragrances can also be drying and irritating to your skin. These fragrances may be listed as "parfum" or "fragrance oil". Look at organic essential oils as an alternative.
Avoid Triclosan, the antibacterial agent added to many liquid hand soaps to help kill germs.
Avoid Sodium laurel sulphate. It is a surfactant, detergent, and emulsifier used in thousands of cosmetic products, as well as in industrial cleaners. Present in nearly all shampoos, toothpaste, body washes and cleansers, liquid hand soaps, laundry detergents, and bath oils and bath salts. Although SLS originates from coconuts, the manufacturing process results in SLES/SLS being contaminated with 1, 4 dioxanes, a carcinogenic by-product.
Propylene glycol, a common ingredient in personal care products, it's been shown to cause dermatitis, kidney or liver abnormalities, and may inhibit skin cell growth or cause skin irritation. Also found in engine coolants, antifreeze, rubber cleaners, adhesives, and paints and varnishes. Mineral oils can coat the skin like a plastic wrap, and don't let your skin breathe.
Parabens are widely used as preservatives in cosmetic and skin care products; parabens have been connected with breast cancer in studies. They have hormone-disrupting qualities, mimicking estrogens, and interfere with the body's endocrine system. Studies have shown that parabens can affect your body much like estrogens, which can lead to diminished muscle mass, extra fat storage, and male breast growth. Natural handmade soaps do not have added synthetic preservatives as some essential oils serve as natural preservatives.
Why choose natural handmade soap?
You will feel the difference that they make to your skin. Not only are they gentler than those harsh detergent bars, but they are usually much more moisturising, beneficial for your skin's texture, come in a variety of natural perfume scents, and last much longer than the average grocery store soap.
Natural soaps feel great, rinse clean and leave your skin soft and silky and delectably scented.
Choose a zesty invigorating soap, a revitalizing morning wake up or a soft delicate floral fragrance. It's wonderful, and we would never go back to using the old commercial stuff, ever! Handmade soap always has fresh, high-quality ingredients such as essential oils, shea butter, coconut oil, olive oil, goat's milk, and palm oil free glycerin. One main difference between handmade soaps and store-bought, skin-drying soaps, is that handmade soap has retained the moisturising glycerin that is naturally formed during the soap-making process. Glycerin is a humectant, which attracts moisture to your skin.
Natural handmade soap can be purchased at your local market; supporting a soap maker with a passion for soap and aromatherapy. Handmade soaps are created using minimal ingredients and there is no harmful waste.
Most handmade artisans are also environmentally conscious and use biodegradable labels, reusable packaging, or no labels at all! Going organic is even better, as you're ensuring your soaps are only made with the finest ingredients grown or raised without harsh pesticides, fertilizers, or genetically modified organisms.
Choose palm oil-free or from sustainable palm oil, creamy formulas with pure essential oils, healing exfoliating organic clays, moisturising plant oils of coconut, cocoa butter, macadamia, and olive oils. Soaps that are suitable for psoriasis, eczema, and sensitive skin types. Ingredients that really pamper your skin.
Did you enjoy our piece on Natural Handmade Soap? Our Blissoma Facial Cleansing bars are palm oil free. These wonderfully creamy and hydrating bars are ideal for sensitive skin. They smell great, a bar lasts for a long time and they are really great in removing makeup really well.

Patrick Dempsey: More Evidence He's Leaving 'Grey's Anatomy'?
We. Can't. Breathe. Right. Now. New evidence has emerged, suggesting Patrick Dempsey's final episode of 'Grey's Anatomy' may be tonight, April 23. Is he really leaving the show? WARNING — major spoiler ahead. DO NOT READ if you don't want to be spoiled.
It's long been rumored that Patrick Dempsey, 49, would be exiting Grey's Anatomy at the end of its current season, and new evidence, which emerged on April 23, suggests it may be even sooner. Could Dr. Derek Shepherd really be leaving Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital — for good? MAJOR SPOILER AHEAD!
Patrick Dempsey's 'Grey's Anatomy' Exit: More Evidence Derek's Leaving?
See the evidence below…
Apparently, it looks like Patrick did an interview with Entertainment Weekly, announcing his exit from the long-running series. If you look close enough, you can read the following words:
"Dark and twisty doesn't even begin to describe last week's episode of Grey's Anatomy, but nobody was more surprised at the dramatic exit of Dr. Derek Shepherd than Patrick Dempsey himself. The actor spoke exclusively to EW about checking out of Grey's — for good."
'Grey's Anatomy' Spoiler Leaks: Entertainment Weekly Apologizes For Big Reveal
When they say "last week's episode," we assume they're talking about tonight's. We'd like to believe this isn't true, but the proof seems to be on the pages. But could creator Shonda Rhimes really kill off one of her main characters? Sure, she's done it before, but this time we're talking about DEREK!
Patrick Dempsey Forced Out By Shonda Rhimes?
Patrick was reportedly forced out by creator Shonda Rhimes, according to Page Six.
"Patrick has been acting like a diva and has clashed with Shonda. She suspended him for a while, and the word on set is that he isn't coming back full time," a source told the paper, adding, "Given all the past problems with Katherine Heigl and Isaiah Washington, there is little tolerance on the show for troublesome talent."
What do YOU think, HollywoodLifers? Will Derek die on tonight's episode of Grey's Anatomy? Vote in our poll and tell us how you feel!

|The sleeve for "Once Upon a Long Ago."
"Once Upon a Long Ago" is a Paul McCartney ballad from his "All the Best" compilation released as a single on 16 November 1987. The single was not released in the United States, but peaked at No. 10 in the United Kingdom. Paul apparently intended for the song to be a duet between himself and Freddie Mercury, but it never happened because of Mercury's heavy workload at the time.
"Once Upon a Long Ago" was, according to Paul, created for "The Princess Bride." Director Rob Reiner, however, rejected the song as "too sentimental" and replaced Paul on the soundtrack.
This is another one of McCartney's more obscure songs, at least in the States, for a variety of reasons. Paul does not perform it very often, and the only compilation it has appeared on is "Never Stop Doing What You Love." It was not included on the US version of "All the Best." Thus, to hear it, you basically have to hunt down the UK/Canada version of "All the Best" or find the music video on Youtube.
Probably the most interesting thing about "Once Upon a Long Ago" is the music video, which is featured on "Once Upon a Video." It is an interesting video that alternates between animation and Paul's band perched on a scenic rock.

If you own a European car, you know that these cars are built slightly different from the rest. If you own such an imported vehicle, it is quite essential that you get your car serviced by a mechanic who is specialized in dealing with European cars. Yes, there are much simple maintenance such as filter replacement or an oil change that you can do yourself, but there is some more complicated matter that you need to consult a European car mechanic.
Here are the services that you can get for your European vehicle when you own a European Car Mechanic
Log Book Servicing
A service log book has all the information related to the vehicle manufacturer and the servicing requirements for the first twenty thousand kilometres. This is a schedule, according to which you need to have your vehicle serviced with an authorized European car service centre. The service logbook provides a guidefor your mechanic as to what parts need to be serviced so that the vehicle warranty is not void. If you own a European vehicle, you should get it serviced by a European car mechanic.
General Servicing
General car servicing is quite important when it comes to keeping your car in a perfectly working condition all around the year. Prevention is better than cure, and hence, getting your car checked from time to time can save your time and a lot on repair charges. European vehicles often have expensive spare parts that are not readily available. Therefore, a minor check-up by a European car mechanic once a month will actually save you a lot in the long run. The cost of services depends on what is covered.
Brake Servicing
Brake services are quite crucial no matter what car you own. Since European vehicles have a slightly different build, it is recommended that you get the brakes services from a certified European car mechanic. Brake services include front and rear relining, disc and drum machining and disc grinding. Moreover, you can also get calliper servicing, hydraulics servicing and disc rotor servicing.
Drivetrain Servicing
The drivetrain is the group of machinery that delivers power to the wheels. In Australia, vehicles are often subjected to hard conditions that cause early wear and tear of these components. The drivetrain of the vehicle includes everything starting from the transmission, the driveshaft, and also the differential. It is crucial to have these serviced from time to time to prevent a major breakdown of your vehicle.
Engine Servicing and Diagnostics
Engine servicing is complicated and for European vehicles, it is highly recommended that you consult a professional who is trained to deal with such vehicles. The engine servicing includes the maintenance and repair of a large number of components, such as the camshaft, the oil pans, piston rings, valves, and so on. If you do not consult a certified mechanic, you may end up voiding the warranty of your vehicle.
Exhaust and Emission Servicing
The exhaust systems are responsible for collecting the gases from the engine and filtering it before releasing it into the atmosphere. Moreover, the system is also responsible for keeping your vehicle quiet. Vehicles with properly functioning exhaust systems not only sound better, but they also function more efficiently and are much better for the environment also A failing system will affect everything from the gas mileage to the air that you inhale in the car. Therefore, you need to ensure that you get it checked by a European car mechanic.
Wrap Up
A European car is a sophisticated and high-performance vehicle that is built using precision engineering. The harsh weather conditions of Australia make it mandatory to get these vehicles serviced from time to time. To ensure that your car runs as good as new, you should always get it checked by someone who is experienced in repairing such vehicles.

If you love easy Trader Joe's dinner hacks, you'll love this Easy Trader Joe's Recipe: Meatball Marinara Sub Recipe.
CLICK HERE to pin this easy trader joe's recipe: meatball & marinara subs for later.
I am a big fan of meatball subs, but I rarely made them at home – until now! I'm not sure what took so long, they're so easy to make, especially this version that leans on prepared ingredients from Trader Joe's, these meatball & marinara subs don't take much effort at all.
Easy Trader Joe's Recipe: Trader Joe's Meatballs
Trader Joe's has a few different meatballs to choose from! There are Beef, Turkey, Party (Mini) Size, and Meatless varieties of meatballs at most Trader Joe's, but I typically just stick with my favorite. Out of all of the meatballs at Trader Joe's, the beef variety is my favorite and the one I usually buy. While I love making my own turkey and quinoa meatballs, the turkey meatballs from Trader Joe's are not my favorite (I think they end up a bit dry and tough!), so I usually stick with the beef ones.
I use the beef meatballs from Trader Joe's in many different ways, on pasta, in easy bbq meatball bento box lunches, on their own with some marinara sauce, and now, this easy trader joe's recipe for meatball & marinara subs.
You should use whichever version you prefer, it won't really make a difference in this meatball & marinara sub recipe.
Meatball Sub Sauce: In my opinion, there's only one sauce for meatball & marinara subs…MARINARA! You could use pizza sauce or tomato sauce in a pinch, but marinara is best. If you don't want your sub to get too soggy, you can also leave it off the sandwich and serve it on the side as a dipping sauce.
Meatball Sub Toppings: As with most toppings, you can keep it simple, or go all out. In this version of meatball & marinara subs I went with the simple route. I toasted the bread with garlic butter, topped it with some marinara, sliced meatballs, and some mozzarella cheese. In addition to the basics, red pepper flakes, grated parmesan cheese, and thinly sliced basil or Italian parsley would add a little extra flavor.
Best Bread for Meatball Sub: I prefer Italian bread for meatball subs, and instead of serving it sub-style, I like to toast the slices (with garlic butter for extra flavor!) so that they don't get too soggy with the sauce. Using sliced bread also makes this meatball & marinara sub MUCH easier to eat. Sliced sourdough bread would also be a good option and Trader Joe's has a pretty good sourdough loaf.
What to Serve with Easy Trader Joe's Recipe: Meatball Marinara Sub Recipe
When I make easy trader joe's dinners, I like the sides to be just as easy, otherwise what's the point? I'll typically serve a sandwich like this with a simple side salad or easy veggie like roasted broccoli.

Mens Clothing Deals
Cheap Mens Clothing Deals, Voucher Codes & Offers on Sale
Not only women can do fashion and wear some weird accessories and still look good. Men can definitely look good with clothings we don't usually witness everyday. If you are a man or a woman who's looking for cheap men's clothing to gift someone, you've come to the right place!
Best Suit Fabric Types for Men
Suits are good for almost any casual or formal events. But just because you are wearing suit doesn't mean it looks good and proper prior to the event. So here's a guide of what fabric of suit you should wear:
- Polyester. This is the most common and most popular man-made synthetic fabric which for all its sceptics holds a wealth of benefits as a lightweight, durable fabric that will not be consumed by moths. While the downsides include a shininess that together with the light fabric feels somewhat artificial. It is perfectly serviceable, but does not breath particularly well and therefore can become hot.
- Wool. The universal natural fibre is wool that, although associated with heavy tweeds actually breathes well, is water resistant to an extent and will not burn when brushed by a stray cigarette. Forgive a degree of eulogising, but this incredible fibre has been the fabric of choice for millennia. Wool can also be successfully combined with polyester to host the benefits of both fabrics as a moth-proof, breathable and economical fabric available in a variety of weights.
- Tweed. These are very much modern suits, made to a weight suitable for sauntering around town in all seasons as well as the heat of the Central line.
- Cotton and Linen. Both of these fibres grown from the earth hang beautifully in stony colours. Linen in particular offers options of blends of cotton or even silk introduced to the fabric. We need not elaborate upon the mere thought of such luxury. However, we would hasten to add that the summer is and should be a time of activity.
- Corduroy. This is a form of cotton woven in such a way as to produce 'tunnels' that are then cut so the fibres spring outwards. This is an everyday staple, ideal in winter, though more common as separate trousers given the heavy weight.
- Velvet. Velvet is similar cotton with a 'pile' of upward-facing fibres that will wear quicker if brushed against this grain. For this reason, velvet suits are rare given their vulnerability and should be made with the trousers' pile upward so when the wearer is sitting the sliding direction goes with the grain. Dinner suits and smoking jackets are beautiful uses of this fabric.
