Introduction: Upcycled Tic-Tac-Toe
This month I took on the THE "CENT-SATIONAL SALVAGE" CHALLENGE. In the challenge I'm tasked with transforming a common item found at my local Habitat for Humanity Restore center into something "cent-sational." And I couldn't spend more than $15. April's featured building materials are kitchen utensils. Upcycling is a passion of mine and I had fun with this challenge. I was able to allow my creative juices to flow. While out shopping my my Restore Center I found these gems for $3! Yea Baby! I knew immediately I wanted to make a board game. Cutting board...board game, it just made logical sense ;).
Step 1: Let's Get Crafty
I thought I'd get in there and bend and twist the forks and spoons I found. Yea, that didn't work.
One, the higher the quality of the fork or spoon the harder it is to bend much less break. Two, it was just too big for the cutting board that I picked up. Darn!
But then I remembered, I had some disposable appetizer forks and spoons I used for a previous dinner party.
Ok, Now where cooking!
Step 2: Sand and Prep the Cutting Board
First, using a medium grade sand paper I sanded and prepped the cutting board.
Once sanded, I applied a pecan color stain followed by shellac.
Step 3: Making the Game Board
Once the board was dry I outlined the tic tac toe game with tape.
To add a little more visual interest to the board, I took some alphabet sticker letters and outlined Tic-Tac-Toe. Then I painted the cutting board using one color within the game and the other outside the game.
Step 4: Making the Game Pieces
The game pieces are forks and spoons. To add visual interest to the forks and spoons I dipped both the forks and spoons in complementary paint and placed ondisposable plate to dry.
Step 5: Finishing Game Board and Pieces
Once the paint was dry I removed the tape and stickers.
I then dipped the forks and spoons into the opposing color to make two-toned game pieces. Using a gold leafing pen I outlined the game board providing golden highlights.
As a final touch I accented the handle with a piece of ribbon.
Now it's time to play. Have fun and know that when you think outside of the box the world looks different. Embrace it and embrace what you've created. One man's trash is another's treasure.
Step 6: Let's Play!

On the knitting front, my sister bought a bunch of Patons SWS that she quickly found out was NOT a beginner yarn. I told her I'd make a sweater for A out of it, so I just finished the back last night. I'm also working on some mittens for myself that were originally for L. Turns out when you swatch (and I DID swatch), you should swatch in the round for things knitted in the round. I thought I was knitting at 7 stitches per inch and it turned out to be more like 6. This apparently makes the difference between mittens for a 5 year old and mittens for Mom.

Esthero (born Jenny-Bea Englishman, December 23, 1978 in Stratford, Ontario) is a Canadian singer-songwriter who currently lives in Los Angeles, California. The name Esthero, pronounced /ɛsˈtɛroʊ/ es-STAIR-oh, refers both to the singer and formerly to the two-person team of herself and producer Martin "Doc" Mckinney. She claims to have got the name by combining the name of the heroine (Esther) and last line ("If I am to be the hero, then I cannot fly from darkness.") of the movie from Sylvia Plath's novel, 'The Bell Jar'.
Esthero's sound characteristically features her voice over a mix of mellow bass lines, jazzy trumpets, Spanish guitar and hip-hop. She is sometimes compared to artists Björk, Portishead and Sade. Later female artists who count Esthero among their influences include Res, Fergie and fellow Canadian Nelly Furtado.
Esthero's brother, Jason Englishman, is also a musician.

So, I want to preface this first design series post with saying that the concepts I am stating in this post come from my own experiences and my own opinions. While I went to art school and have worked as a graphic designer for 10 years, there are always other ways to do any part of design. That is what makes design so great and so broad. It is creative and subjective. Everyone has their own methods and their own tastes.
So let's talk about logo design.
What are the basics of a logo?
You can create logos from either type/text or an image mark, or a combination of both. Let me define a couple of these terms for you.
An image mark is the visual component of a logo.
What makes a successful logo?
Three Questions to Ask:
1. Does it work in one color?
2. Can you easily identify the name?
3. Does the mark make sense (if one was used)?
All three of these questions don't have to be answered yes, but at least two should.
When designing a logo, we must consider all uses of the logo. This can include: web, print, business cards, signage, logo items, tv, etc. This is one reason it is important for a logo to function in only one color. I start all of my logo designs in just one color. If it is successful in this aspect then it will work for all of your needs.
For me, questions 2 and 3 aren't deal breakers either way, but they do have some importance. You should be able to tell from a logo what the name of the product or company is. You should also be able to identify the logo mark.
In many cases a logo is used as pieces and not only as a whole. You can use just the mark or just the text. Each of the pieces of the whole can be used to emphasize something different or for different designs.
For example you might use just the logo mark on the back of a business card for emphasis.
A couple of examples:
So you may be thinking, but how does this relate to SharePoint design?
I think that a successful intranet can be enhanced with a great Intranet logo design. If you work to identify a name for your site and then brand it with it's own logo it can help you increase your end user adoption.
–Tip: Having a logo design for your SharePoint sites will allow you to target your internal marketing campaign around your site. —
Even if you are working with an existing logo, you can still learn many things about the corporate branding just from a logo. You can determine what colors can be used. You can also start to determine things like "white space usage" and the elusive "feel" of the site.
Let's look at the examples that I displayed earlier and see what we can determine about a site design from this logo.
Site Design Color Scheme:
We can tell that the primary colors will be green and pink. This also helps us determine supporting colors. We now know what their primary colors are so we can use color theory to determine what else will work with the site.
We also learn by seeing that the logo functions in one color only that we can use the logo reversed out of a dark solid color or textured color.
Images to be used in the site:
We can determine that we can use a flower or rose theme throughout the site as the flower is part of their logo/image mark. Also another design aspect that we can explore is the circle.
Font Usage for Site:
By noticing the type in the logo we can assume that the client might want to use a serif (a type of font face) for headers and the navigation.
So you can see, something as simple as the logo can lead us to many conclusions and offshoots for the entire brand's design. In breaking down design into smaller pieces it is my hope that I can give you some insight into a designers brain. This insight will also be paired with tips and hits for SharePoint branding.
The next post in this series will talk about Color Theory and Color Choices. This one will be important as we move towards SharePoint 2010 and the Office Themes.
As I go through this design blog series I will be developing a site design for this group's intranet.
I was lucky enough to develop this logo for the Women's Home during my time at Edge Creative Strategies in Houston, Texas. It is a fabulous non-profit group that I was privileged to work with. Here is a little bit about them:
The Women's Home is a multi-ethnic, non-denominational, non-profit United Way agency. Founded in Houston in 1957, The Home's reputation has grown alongside its facilities in both size and stature.
At The Women's Home, we envision a world in which every woman embraces her unique value and potential for a life filled with love, dignity and purpose.

Women worse at parking than men, study shows – Telegraph
The truth is I can't cook or park.
By using a completely absurd title, I will attempt to prove a point here that may take a bit of meandering. Please stick with me on this one and help humor me by reading my deranged rant on bureaucracy and sexism in parking, an important matter that far exceeds the gravity of the economic crises or global warming.
This is how the Telegraph article opens:
Women are slower and less accurate at parking than men, according to a scientific study that confirms the suspicions of many male motorists.
First, I'd like to know how many male motorists were involved and who they were. I want names. Was my husband questioned for this study?
Now that I got that off my seatbelt restrained chest (more restrictive than a bra), I admit it. I can't park. Whether it's vertically parking between the lines in a shopping center, parallel parking on a street, or just attempting to stay within the lines in a coloring-book, I just can't seem to get it right.
However, despite my admission of poor parking practices, I have to ask the question. Which lamebrain bureaucrat approved the funding for this frivolous study? I could have done the study free, waited in a parking lot with a camera, and filmed people parking all day. Like I have nothing better to do. I don't!
In my video, I would have included a highly sarcastic running monologue about waste in government and how they should park their butts at a desk and solve real problems, instead of sitting behind the wheel watching dingbats ding the crap out of parked cars.
Although the pencil pushers would not have approved my parallel-parking test, it would have reached the same conclusion. Men are better parkers. So what? Do we give them a medal or just the distinction of being the best freaking parkers on the planet? That's definitely worth a trip to Disneyland or at least a bribe to never complain about a husband's driving again in return for a day of shopping at Bloomingdales, the preferred destination of choice.
More from the article:
Female drivers take an average of 20 seconds longer to park their cars but are still less likely to end up in the middle of the bay, the research suggests.
I'd say a minute and a half, easily, if crying, then add another thirty-seconds. I'm assuming that "bay" here doesn't mean a body of water, otherwise I'd already be swimming with the fishes.
And this illuminating piece of news:
As part of the test 65 people were asked to park an Audi A6 family saloon in a standard-sized parking space.
That's the problem right there. I can't hold my liquor. Who conducts driving tests in saloons anyway?
And this little gem:
Their manoeuvres – including head-on, reverse and parallel parking – were timed and rated for accuracy, which was judged by how far they kept the vehicle from the edges of the bay.
A language clarification here. For the folks living on the side of the pond where the steering wheel is located on the left and correct side, manoeuvres is the British spelling of the word maneuver, although it does look and sound a bit like manure. Boy, I'm glad I didn't step in that one.
What do you think. Are men better drivers than women?

Getting a smile makeover can be uplifting, fun and a source of inspiration in life. Just look at all the publications that are dedicated to it! When imagining a fresh new look, changing cosmetics might be the first thing that comes to mind. But, the most transformative update for both men and women can be a sparkling smile.
Your smile is likely the first thing people notice about you. Studies have shown that there are many benefits of smiling including being perceived as younger, confident and more competent by others. Every time you smile, you also boost your own mood through the magic of brain chemistry. So, if you are hiding your smile due to missing, cracked, crooked or yellowing teeth, your dentist can help.
Getting a Smile Makeover
The first step in a smile makeover is consulting with your dentist. The dentist will create a treatment plan that fits your situation. Some of the dental makeover options are:
Teeth whitening
Teeth can yellow due to natural aging, food choices, or smoking. It's trendy today to have white teeth, and while toothpastes promote their whitening ability, nothing whitens quite like the professional products used by the dentist. The dentist will use safe, effective whitening treatments which can last longer and cover all areas completely.
Teeth straightening
Many adults, even those who had braces as children, find that their teeth have shifted over time into a crooked smile. Recent product improvements have made adult braces and straighteners a popular option. Invisalign is a teeth straightening system which offers a clear plastic alternative to metal braces. Provided as part of a dental or orthodontic treatment plan, this system gets the straightening job done quickly and invisibly. Your dentist will determine if you are a good candidate for successful use of this product, and if not, there are always traditional braces.
Dental implants and dentures
If you are missing teeth and hiding your smile, there are many options available for tooth replacement. These include dental implants, where a new tooth is attached to the jaw and functions like the original tooth. Dental implants may be a good option for people without bone loss in the jaw.
If there are multiple teeth needing replacement, a bridge or denture may help. Today's dentures look and function naturally. They can restore your confident smile, and fill out cheeks that have sagged due to missing teeth. There are a variety of options depending on the condition of your jaw bone and other factors which your dentist will review. In addition to traditional removable dentures, there are implant secured dentures. These can provide greater stability as they attach to a few implanted teeth.
A great makeover might include your hair, makeup and clothing. It can also include your smile. Whitmore dental can help you plan your new look.

Alexa meets Drew in an elevator at a hotel - that shuts power when the power goes off. They start chatting. She's there to meet her sister and celebrate a milestone achievement. He's there to attend the wedding of his ex-girlfriend and good friend. In a moment of craziness, he acts her to be his date and fake girlfriend to the wedding. And she says yes. They have a great weekend together, but all to soon he's leaving. Could this weekend be the start of something much more?My Thoughts: I've been waiting for ages to read this book - it had a bunch of holds on it at the library. I kept hearing so much buzz about it. And the buzz wasn't wrong - it was delightful. I loved the meet cute. I loved that Alexa was smart, strong, and spoke her mind. I love how she didn't hide talking about being Black and how she called Drew out on his privileged life. I loved the moments between the sisters - even though they were difficult at times. I loved that both Drew and Alexa were so passionate about their jobs. I really liked Carlos. Of course I enjoyed the pop culture references - especially Anne of Green Gables. I love how they ate all the time - it made me hungry! For a debut novel, Jasmine Guillory knocked it out of the park; I can't wait for her next book which also looks amazing.

Now that the 115th Congress has convened and a new President has been sworn in, it is time for those in Washington, D.C. to get down to actually governing. As is typically the case, a lot of promises were made during the campaign season. Often these promises are just empty words. One promise that is a perennial favorite, especially among Republicans, is tax reform. With a Republican President and Republican-controlled Congress, the likelihood for "true" tax reform seems high.
AAII Weekly Survey Question
To see whether AAII readers agree with this assessment, we asked them the following:
How likely is it that fundamental tax reform will occur during the 115th Congress?
Here are the results as of 6 a.m. (Central) on January 30, 2017:
Out of the 2,722 readers who responded, nearly two-thirds (63.1%) believe there is some likelihood that fundamental tax reform will take place over the next two years. Forty-two percent feel it is somewhat likely that fundamental tax reform will take place during the current Congress, while 21% are more optimistic, feeling it is highly likely that fundamental tax reform will take place.
Overall, 29% believe it is unlikely that the meeting of the legislative branch of the U.S. federal government will result in fundamental tax reform. This group is split nearly 50-50 between those that feel it is somewhat unlikely and highly unlikely.% see the built-in diversification that comes with investing in mutual funds and ETFs as the primary reason for investing in them. This was the overwhelming choice, as the next three options were all clustered together at 11% to 13%. Lastly, 11% of the respondents said they do not invest at all in mutual funds or ETFs.
Finally, only 7% of respondents are indifferent as to the likelihood of fundamental tax reform during the current Congress.
Weekly Special Question
Tax policy is one of the many ways in which the government can impact the stock market. We were curious to see the ways in which our readers believe the federal government could positively impact the stock market. So we asked:
What could the new president and Congress do that would have the biggest positive impact on the stock market?
In all, 451 readers provided responses. Feeding off last week's survey question, the majority felt that tax policy would have the biggest positive impact on the stock market with nearly 54% of respondents making reference to taxes. However, there are a variety of ways our readers believe that tax policy can impact the stock market. Among the 243 responses that mentioned taxes, over one-third (37%) cited either the reform of corporate tax laws or lowering corporate tax rates as a way to positively impacting the stock market. Nealy one-quarter (23.5%) of tax-related responses focused on revising the U.S. tax code as a way of positively impacting the stock market. Another 13% said that allowing multi-national companies to repatriate cash held overseas would have a positive impact on the stock market. Rounding out the top tax-related responses, 6% and 4.5% feel that lowering the capital gains tax and lowering/eliminating the taxation of dividends, respectively, would spur the stock market.
Moving away from taxes, nearly 14% of all respondents believe that lowering government regulation would have a positive impact on the stock market
Given the frustration many American have with politicians, it is probably not surprising that almost 8% of respondents saying a mass resignation by the Congress and/or president would have a positive impact on the stock market.
Here is a sampling of the responses:
- "Eliminate taxes on dividends for individuals."
- "Allow overseas profits from U.S. firms to be brought back to the U.S. at a low tax rate."
- "Avoid a trade war."
- "Balance the budget."
- "Build infrastructure."
- "Change trade agreements in order to create fairness for the U.S."
- "Do away with onerous regulations that do nothing to help businesses…"
- "Leave well enough alone."
- "Lower the rhetoric, stop the tweets and show themselves to be responsible and thoughtful."
- "Work out solutions together by listening to the American people instead of their own egos."
- "Work together."
Everybody has an opinion! Why not give us yours? Participate in our weekly member poll, updated every Monday, and see the results online at http://www.aaii.com/memberquestion.

We set out for Maine last Saturday. Made it there in 3.5 hours. NO traffic, just toll booth after toll booth. Definetly felt like we were entering another season when we reached Maine. I couldn't get over the amount of snow they had. Foot on top of foot of snow!! There was soooo much snow the kids couldn't even play in the backyard with out getting lost. I am very glad I DO NOT live any further north than I do.
Sunday we just hung out around the house, the kids played together (the boys video games, the girls Barbies.)
On Monday Eleigh and I started coming down with the "FLU". I thought mine was allergies, but I was wrong! I felt bad that we brought it with us. I took the girls to see the SPIDERWICK CHRONICLES. It was okay , very fast moving but the story was boring to me. The boys went to see MEET THE SPARTANS, they loved it.
On Tuesday Uncle Joe, myself and the kids went snowtubing. Well the kids did anyway. Uncle Joe sat in the car and I stood outside and took pics. At first, because the day had warmed up, the tubing was not going too well. It was slow and the kids would get stuck halfway down the hill. Nathan gave up after about an hour and we still had an hour to go. The temp. started to drop so one of the guys that worked there decided to take out the "fast" tubes. They had plastic bottoms so they would go extremly fast, which meant more dangerous. At the bottom of the hill he kept yelling at everyone "DRAG YOUR FEET, DRAG YOUR FEET. IF YOU DON'T I WILL TAKE ALL THE FAST TUBES AWAY. I waved Nathan back over to get a fast tube and he had a better time after that. Check out some of the pics.

You don't have to send a hand-written thank you note after the interview to land a job.
Recent research by DeVry University found that 65% of successful job seekers used an email — not a note, not a letter — an email.
Isn't it nice to finally have some hard data to rely on when deciding how to thank your interviewers?
The Research
DeVry polled recent successful job seekers. Here's how the 589 respondents broke out:
The Findings
98% of the study participants thanked their interviewers. They used a variety of methods:
- 65% emailed their interview thank you.
- 17% mailed a hard copy thank you (hand-written or typed).
- 16% called to say "thank you."
Here's the summary from DeVry:
As you can see, it doesn't appear to have mattered so much how the successful job seekers said, "Thank you." Rather, it mattered that they said, "Thank you."
You can find two sample interview thank you missives, suitable for emailing, here and here.
Another Good Reason for Using Email
As it turns out, email is a more forgiving platform. If you make mistakes, they'll be easier to fix if you use email than if you use snail mail.

Once upon a Sunday queery, while I Iabored—well, in theory—
Over many a quaint and curious volume of our podcast lore
As I droolded, clearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping
As of someone gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.
"Must be Snoop Dogg," did I mutter, "rapping at my chamber door.
Only this, and nothing more."
Ah, distinctly I recall it, for I had just lost my wallet,
After landing fall-down drunk upon a barroom's sticky floor.
Eagerly I wished the morrow—vainly, I had sought to borrow
Twenty bucks to ease my sorrow—sorrow at my podcast chore.
At that pain-in-buttock tasklist that I call my podcast chore
To which I'm chain-ed evermore.
And the silken, sad uncertain rustling of each purple curtain
Thrilled me—filled me with a deep confusion never felt before;
So that, now, to still the beating of my heart I stood repeating
"I do not remember seating purple curtains here before—
Have no memory of buying purple curtains long before
Snoop Dogg turned up at my door."
Waiting outside ever longer, as my rage grew in me stronger,
"Doofus," called I, "get your lazy carcass off the floor.
Clearly, I have caught you napping, or, if I'm unlucky, crapping,
But most likely you were napping, napping on your chamber floor.
I can see you through the window, lying there upon the floor.
A moron there, and nothing more."
Through the window I stood peering, (as if) my eyeballs could be searing
Work ethic into my co-host, who rose, shaking, from the floor.
But his silence was unbroken, and his stillness gave no token,
And the only words he'd spoken had been muffled by the door.
Something about Snoop Dogg, likely, muffled by his chamber door.
Likely that, and nothing more.
Away from the threshold turning, all my wrath within my burning,
Soon I heard him tapping, louder than I tapped before.
"Surely," said I, "surely he is on his feet now, thinking 'Geewhiz,
He'll most likely break my kneeses, if I don't complete my chore,
Break 'em with a hammer if I don't complete my podcast chore.'
Now open up your stupid door!"
Open wide I flung the shutter, and with many a flirt and flutter
Out through the window stepped I, like a burglar of yore.
Not the least obeisance made I; not a minute stopped or stayed I;
But, dashing cross the sidewalk made I directly toward the door—
Sprinting like a sumbitch aimed directly at his truck's front door.
"Yolo!" called I, "Swag galore!"
No he didn't; he is lying, clearly, for some reason, trying,
To convince you, and by rhyming, upon your good-sense implore
That you might believe this fable, to our podcast fix the label
Of 'exciting,' 'thrilling,' 'able'—from the list pick one or more.
Look down a list of good descriptors and, from it, pick one or more.
That's what he's after, the dumb whore.
Much I marvel, this ungainly fellow to discourse so plainly
Though his mock'ry fails to cut the issue to its core.
For, though yes, my goal's amusement, and is fueled by a boozement,
Parody's the thing, I'm choosin' it, as I labor at this chore.
The fun of parodying poems sets me working at this chore.
Only this, and nothing more.
I must ask, you goofy midget, think you that I am an idjit
Who didn't know you had that motive, it and likely several more?
For instance, note that I have uttered—with my nipples lightly buttered—
Several stanzas deeply cluttered with phrasing that's a dreary chore.
Phrasing hard to say aloud—you gave me this insipid chore.
Delib'rate, say I, that and more!
Startled, my reverie broken, by reply so aptly spoken,
Duder, say I, we should punch this up a good deal more.
For though I like a good parody, thicky, creamly, and most carroty,
We gots to take especial careody—your assistance I implore.
With the next turn of this po-em, your assistance I implore.
Come inside, and shut the door.
Though it could get somewhat hairy, we could still poke fun at Gary
And the predilections he indulges on the shore.
See now, here's what I am thinking: He's aboard a ship that's sinking,
And hears the sound of sea-shells clinking on the cabin floor.
The sound of sea-shells clink-clink-clinking on the tilted cabin floor.
List'ners, this, would never bore.
Funny, yes, but I am guessing, if this idea you're expressing
Goes where Gary jokes have oh-so-often gone before,
If our imaginations, fertile, must return, again, to turtle
Then the shark our podcast hurtles, and the readers it will bore.
We'll leap a shark if we talk turtle, and the readers it will bore.
And they'll read us nevermore.
Fair enough, you measly gno-em, but how will we end this po-em,
And, these stanzas, stow-em in a package we can store?
If Gary jokes are off the table, Alphonse jokes must be a fable,
And I'm unsure we will be able to come up with something more.
And will the listeners listen if we give them nothing more?
Answer, answer, I implore!
Co-host, says I, your point I mind, co-host still, if rather unkind,
It may be that of content we're unlikely to find more.
Desolate, and rather daunted, by this lack of humor haunted,
by impending failure taunted—shall we, then, press on no more?
Is there beef at Taco Bell—tell me truly, I implore?
Yo Quiero, anymore?
Co-host, say I, loutish laggard, co-host still, if super-slaggard,
You can't use a dirt-cheap taco to evade your podcast chore.
This bit now's the sixteenth stanza, a cheesy, beefy, word bonanza,
An excess, an extravaganza—just complete it, I implore.
There can't be many stanzas left—tell how many, I implore.
Tell me, now, how many more?
I believe that there are lurking, if my count has not been shirking,
Two more stanzas left to send up ere we start meal number four.
Lest our readers think us lazy, lest their patience wavers, hazy,
Lest they take to acting crazy—complete, we must, this awful chore.
Let us have mercy on the readers and complete this awful chore.
Or they will read us nevermore.
So here's how this podcast endeth, as to rhyme scheme words we bendeth,
And thru' tortured language wendeth, so that meter up we shore.
And as the lines draw to the finish, our hunger will soon diminish
With food that tastes a little tinnish from the Taco Bell next door.
We'll feast on deeply healthless foodstuffs from the Taco Bell next door.
And do this segment… nevermore.

Moving beyond "good enough"
How do you feel on a regular basis? Do you have all the energy you want? Do you feel great? Just 'good enough'?
I promise you that you can feel not only better than you feel now, but you can feel great.
It's so common for us to get pulled along in our daily life, from task to task, or fire to fire, forgetting to stop and make sure we are more than just ok.
We use caffeine to infuse our bodies with enough energy to start the day. Then we focus and plow through our tasks until we have to reach for some chocolate or a soda (or both!) later in the afternoon. We're too tired to cook when we get home, so we grab something quick and easy that fills our bellies but leaves our bodies depleted of nourishment long-term. After we gorge on this tasty, but unfulfilling meal, we're too carb-loaded to move off the couch. Does this sound familiar? I hear stories like this, in differing variations, from the majority of my patients and clients, both in the clinic and online.
It's just SO easy for us to get used to life as mediocre, we think we'll be happy when…the bills are paid, our house is clean, the kids are calmed down….but then things keep flying at us! We don't stop to ourselves up emotionally or spiritually, we don't stop to nourish ourselves. Instead of filling up our water bottles we get a sweet iced tea, a Starbucks drink, or even a sugar-laden smoothie (the "healthy" choice") on the way to a meeting. We think this quick choice will help us get through the day without thinking about how our bodies just need water, a quick walk, or a few deep breaths.
I've written a lot on this topic and one of the statements I made resonated with readers because we don't often stop to think about the difference between feeling well and just feeling ok:
"Feeling well is deeper. And wider. It's the you that you can imagine being if you lifted off all of the things that are holding you back in your life."
Happiness researcher Shawn Achor often says that "common sense is not common action." People, my clients, and patients included, know so many of the things to do to feel better but they're too tired, or too overwhelmed to do them.
My Energy Academy is a course that will help you figure out both why you're so tired and then make a plan to start creating the energy you crave and deserve. Check it out and let me know if you have any questions. I would love to have you experience the great benefits that so many others have already experienced.
Yours in Health,

Template:Infobox Political party Template:Green politics sidebar The Green Party (Template:Lang-sv, literally "The Environment Party the Green ones", and usually simply referred to in Sweden as Miljöpartiet: the "The Environment Party") is a green political party in Sweden. The party was founded in 1981 emerging out of the movement opposing nuclear power in a referendum held 1980. It won seats in the Parliament of Sweden for the first time in 1988, failed to pass the 4% cutoff in the following election in 1991, but returned again in 1994 and has held seats since, getting around 5% in every election. Currently, the party garners the most support among the young, female, urban and highly educated demographics.
The Green Party builds its ideology on the three solidarities: with animals, nature and the ecological system; with future generations; with all the world's people. The party took a stand against membership in the European Union and wanted a new referendum on the issue, though this policy was abolished in a September 2008 internal party referendum. However, the party remains predominantly EU-critical. The Greens support a phasing-out of nuclear energy in Sweden and hope to replace it with alternative, sustainable energy sources. The party further supports a general shift in taxation policy, towards high taxes on environmentally unfriendly or unsustainable products and activities, hoping to thus influence people's behavior towards the more sustainable. The Green Party was the first political party in Sweden to raise the issue of climate change.
The party is currently generally seen as more to the left than to the right on a left-right scale, at least on the national level. In several communes, however, the Greens cooperate with liberal parties, and the party does not define itself as left, nor right. Rather, they place themselves on one end of a scale between sustainability and growth. As of 2006, the party is in opposition in Sweden, and its prioritized issues are climate change, anti-discrimination and equal rights.
Party spokespersonsEdit
The party does not have a formalized leadership, instead having chosen a system with two party spokespersons (always one male and one female as a promotion of gender equality). The current spokespersons are Peter Eriksson and Maria Wetterstrand.
The party have 19 seats in the parliament and have seats in the municipal council in most municipalities.

Malwarebytes Anti-Rootkit ReviewRead more
hello everybody my name is cap and welcome back to cap tech today I want to talk to you guys about Malwarebytes Anti-Rootkit now currently the software is invaded meaning that it's not completely finished yet they're still doing bug testing so do keep that in mind if you decide to download it this is from the makers of the highly popular malwarebytes anti-malware that everybody has downloaded at some point and we may do review about that at the future but the difference is that this software specifically looks for rootkits in your system so what does a rootkit a rootkit the type of software that is designed to hide the fact that your operating systems been compromised it has an infection on it kids allow viruses of malware to basically hide in plain sight by disguising the insistant files that they've taken over to look like regular files themselves aren't very harmful but what they use is they open up a backdoor into the system and makes it so that people can take control of your computer and it hides malware and BOTS and worms and things of that nature and so it makes it harder to detect on your system so that's what Malwarebytes Anti-Rootkit software specifically is trying to look for in your system is these hidden files that look like normal files that will try to allow other malicious software to get download onto your system so let's get into the software itself the software doesn't have an installer but what you have to do is extract the files inside the program into another folder so all I'm doing is creating a folder name it whatever you want to and then I'm going to run the software and it's going to ask me where I want to extract the files to so I'll go through choose this folder I just created select it and press ok and it will extract all the files necessary to run the program doing this will allow you to put the program on to something like a USB thumb drive so that you can access it move it from computer to computer without having to worry about it getting installed in order to be able to run it it can use it as an on-demand scanner just in case you encounter a computer having some problem once the program is loading just click Next it'll take you to the next screen where you can update the database just to make sure it has the most current definitions doesn't take very long to do this good success next takes you to the spot where you can select what you want to scan by default is scans for drivers sectors and system and this will go through and scan your register as well now these scanning time takes a long time because it is a full system scanner it took about a half hour maybe a little longer on my system but that time will vary based on how many files your system has after the scan is completed hopefully you over see a screen just like this letting you know that there's nothing fat on your system and that's great if it does happen to find cysts something on your system it's going to want to clean it of course and to allow it to clean it's going to have to reboot your computer after reboots that it will remove as many of the files as a possible can I recommend that you run the program again and let it do another full scan just to make sure it didn't miss anything if it does happen to find something then of course let it finish cleaning it reboot repeat the process as many times until it doesn't find anything something that's really important to do just in case is when you're done with the scans make sure your antivirus your internet connection and things like that are actually working properly on your system if they're not within the program folder that you extracted all the files to you'll see that there is a plugins folder here and if you go inside that you'll see there has another executables called fixed damage Exe this is from malwarebytes and it's meant to reset your antivirus your internet connection and things that may have gotten kind of worked up in the process of cleaning out root kits because when you start removing important files ever so often those important files will be connected to something that's not very good for your system and by removing those it will kill a connection on your system so if you happen to run this and it does happen to remove a rootkit and then you can no longer access internet or you hear any viruses acting up or anything like that you can always run this executable that comes with the program and it'll go through and fix so that's the system in a nutshell it's pretty simple all it is is a rootkit scanner and it works really well for what it does but again do keep in mind that this is in beta and this is in version 1.9 so things may change or get adjusted as they continue to develop it so in case you can't encounter any bugs use it your own discretion malwarebytes and myself are not liable for any problems you may have on your system while using the software but this is something I would recommend everybody at least download and take a scan on their system just to make sure there's nothing bad hiding in the background on your system you never know what could possibly be there and it's free there's no paid version of this it's the free version only you download it extract it run it and you're done so you know we hope you found this video useful if you did do me a favor and drop a like on the video down below and you leave me a comment if you have any questions or suggestions of any other software or hardware that you would like for me to review thank you guys so much for your time you guys have a good day and I will talk to you later

Very few foods in nature contain vitamin D, and if you live in northern latitudes, it's even tougher to get enough of this sun-loving, super vitamin. Vitamin D helps your body absorb calcium, making it a critical part of healthy bones, but it also functions in immune health, cell growth, and inflammation moderation.

These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.
For our website and catalog, the MSRP is the "Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price." The MSRP is understood to mean the price at which a manufacturer will recommend a retailer sell a product for in stores, on the internet, or in catalogs. The MSRP of National brand items are dictated to Swanson by each manufacturer. For Swanson brand items, the MSRP is calculated based on a varying percentage above the product's base price.
Q: Why are some vitamin D products measured in IU while others are in mcg?
Due to changes in FDA labeling guidelines, vitamin D amounts must now be listed in micrograms (mcg) on supplement facts and nutrition labels instead of international units (IU). Although these new guidelines were issued in 2016, updates weren't required until June 2020.
At Swanson, we began updating our labels in early 2017. You will see a mixture of both IU and mcg as our national brand partners complete this process.
Q: Did my vitamin D supplement change?
A: You may have noticed a change in the daily value percentage on your favorite vitamin D product, but that doesn't mean your product changed. The FDA increased the recommended daily intake (RDA) of vitamin D, which means the same product with the same ingredient amounts fulfills a lower percentage of the RDA than it prior to the change.
Q: How much vitamin D do I need each day?
In 2016, the Food and Nutrition Board increased the Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) of vitamin D for most adults from 10 mcg (400 IU) to 15 mcg (600 IU) per day, and 20 mcg (800 IU) for ages 70+.
Some doctors and nutritionists recommend higher daily vitamin D intakes, especially for those at risk for having low levels. The Vitamin D Council, an organization dedicated to raising awareness about vitamin D, recommends average adults supplement with 125 mcg (5,000 IU) of vitamin D daily. Talk with your doctor about your individual needs.

Re-Ignite Your Creative Fire
A common struggle for designers everywhere is consistently being able to come up with new & unique creative ideas. It's called Creative Fatigue, and it has been a problem for just about everyone in the creative industry one time or another. However, there are ways to reboot your brain to surpass the creative fatigue so you can once again get the creative juices flowing.
One of the most obvious things that can promote creative thinking can also make it or break it. Staying hydrated and eating plenty of food is a massive factor in the creative process. That's right, coffee isn't the only brain food out there. Getting the brain started is one thing, but you need the fuel to keep the brain going and to function at maximum capacity. It's always good to drink a glass of water while drinking your morning coffee because coffee dehydrates you at the same time. It can be hard to eat in the morning for some people because not everyone has an appetite right when they wake up. If you're one of these people, try to eat at least a piece of fruit or try smoothies just so you can get some natural sugars in you to boost brain function.
Staying fueled up is a huge part of the creative process and should never be overlooked.
Along with nourishment being a huge factor when it comes to inspirational juices, eyestrain can be hurting you more than you think. When you get into the groove on a project for long periods of time it can be good to take a break and walk around a bit to get your eyes off the monitor. Not only is the blue light from monitors straining on your eyes and brain but also, it's good to get up and get the blood moving through your whole body. Getting the blood flowing will get more to the brain and that will increase brain function ultimately giving you the creative edge that you need.
Getting the blood flow to your noggin is important, but relaxation can be just as important for inspiration. You have deadlines approaching and work to do, but your brain is so overloaded you don't even know where to start! Many people like to turn to things like yoga and meditation. Yoga is good for stretching and relaxing body and muscles. While doing yoga with your extremities you are also relaxing your strongest muscle, the brain. Meditation can take you to a place far from the deadlines where you're can achieve overall relaxation while thinking about absolutely nothing. Think of these methods as a few different ways to reboot your brain so you can maximize your output.
Once you have rebooted your brain, and you have got the blood flowing again, it is time to start creating again. Even if you do all of the right things it can be tough to come up with things out of thin air. The best thing you can do is take advantage of some of the online resources there are to get inspired. A few of the resources are Behance, Dribbble, and Designspiration. If you aren't already familiar with these websites, they are where creative professionals go to post work along with digital portfolios. They make it very easy to see what's trending, compare different work, and to get inspiration. Once you get a good perception on what you want to make you can get started!
Creative fatigue is a typical problem for creative professionals everywhere, but it's up to you if you want to take the time to get past it so you can make the best work that you can. If you stay hydrated and fueled up, take frequent breaks from computer strain, relax your mind, and take advantage of the resources that are out there, then you can surpass Creative Fatigue and can reignite your creative fire.

Fitbit's Versa Lite looks almost identical to last year's original Versa, but with a lower price tag. The $159.95 Versa Lite is $40 cheaper than the original Versa, and comes in a couple of new shades (a vibrant Marina Blue and a Mulberry plum).
Update August 28: Fitbit is releasing the Fitbit Versa 2 ($199), an updated version of the original Versa, which features a brighter AMOLED display, has Alexa built-in, as well as several other features. Stay tuned for an update to this story.
But beyond cosmetic changes, the biggest differences are under the hood.

What's Changed
Fitbit streamlined the design of Versa Lite, removing two buttons from the original Versa to simplify the newer model's navigation.
The company also stripped away the ability to track floors climbed and lap-tracking during swim workouts. The biggest sacrifice, on-board music storage and guided workouts on-display, stings a little more.
WIth these changes, Fitbit made the Versa Lite a lot more basic than its predecessor. That's not necessarily a bad thing — just something to note if those features are important to you.

Versa Lite: Who's it for?
Fitbit says the Versa Lite is designed for "people who have been left out of the smartwatch market," said Melanie Chase, Fitbit's vice president of product marketing, during a press event announcing the new device. The Versa Lite, Inspire and Inspire HR are part of Fitbit's goal to make the company's lineup "accessible to everyone."
If you don't swim and don't care about listening to music without your phone nearby, then the missing features won't be a big deal.
Fitbit's Versa Lite is one of the cheapest smartwatches you can buy, but there are trade-offs. Samsung's $200 Galaxy Watch Active, out now, offers built-in GPS, on-board music storage with Spotify integration, a beautiful, colorful touchscreen and a traditional round display for just $50 more. The watch works with both iOS and Android, just like Fitbits do, though it works best with Samsung's Galaxy devices. (Samsung also says its watch can help track blood pressure with an app due later in March, though it's unclear how accurate that feature will be.)
Fitbit is making its smartwatch more compelling with a lower price, but the pricier original is a better smartwatch. If you don't care about features like on-board music storage or swim-tracking, the Versa Lite is worth a look. (Looking for discounts on Fitbit's devices?

Striking Desires Underbust Corset
The gentleman in your life will shake in his boots when he catches sight of you in this steampunk corset. An underbust corset in black and jewel tones. Chain detail to add some extra detail to the brocade corset. The zipper detail just kicks this corset to the top seller. An amazing corset to hide those trouble areas some of us women have.

Just to illustrate my point about the false notion of scientific "fairness" whereby everybody's vote on a complex and nuanced topic counts equally, regardless of how blitheringly ill-informed they are, here's a heartwarming story about the aftermath of the MMR hysteria. I think an appropriate and proportional response would be the resignation and subsequent suicide of a prominent media hystericalist, let's say Melanie Phillips. Come on, Mel, you know it makes sense.
To cheer ourselves up after that, let's all apply for this job. Sounds like a thrusting young executive may be required, though the demands of the job may leave you shagged out by the end of the working week.

Thai court imprisons bank robber in Singapore
Hanoi (VNA) – A Thai court on June 6 sentenced a Canadian national to 14 months in jail for crimes linked to a rare bank robbery in Singapore where he allegedly used nothing more than a threatening note to steal 22,000 USD.
According to Singaporean authorities, David Roach walked into a Standard Chartered bank branch in July 2016, handed the teller a scrap of paper and got away with the cash. He then fled to Bangkok where he was arrested a few days later.
The Thai court convicted David Roach of violating money laundering and customs laws by bringing the loot into the country. The suspect confessed to all charges during the investigation process.
Bank robberies are extremely rare in Singapore due to the country's severe punishment for the crime.-VNA

So I went to the store the other day, I was only in there for about 5 minutes and when I came out there was a copper writing a parking ticket. So I went up to him and said, 'Come on mate, how about giving a bloke a break?' He ignored me and continued writing the ticket. So I called him a pencil-necked Nazi. He glared at me and started writing another ticket for having bald tires!!
So I called him a horse f*cker. He finished the second ticket and put it on the car with the first. Then he started writing a third ticket!! This went on for about 20 minutes, the more I abused him, the more tickets he wrote. I didn't give a shit, my car was parked around the corner…

The new Halo 4 trailer, a collaboration between producer David Fincher (he of Se7en fame) and director, special effects maestro Tim Miller (who worked on the first two X-Men films, among others), is now available to watch.
Titled 'Scanned', the short aired overnight on US show 'Late Night with Jimmy Fallon', and shows the Chief in (futuristic) chains, being scanned – hence the title – by an unknown entity. The scan reveals details of John-117's life, from his childhood and abduction at age 6, to Spartan modification, Mjolnir armour testing and finally to battling Promethean Knights on Requiem, leading right back to the present as he is caught.
That unknown entity that's scanning the Chief? I'm going to go ahead and say it's the Didact. That's his icon at the end, after all.

Apple Season is here thanks to the Honeybees!
Sustainable Farmers – Stewards of the Land: Apple Harvest . Chapter 18
Apple Season is upon us. That little apple came a little long way from a mature tree, to blossom, to fruit to a mature apple.Carpenter Nature Center orchard
Honeybees and other pollinators are critical to pollinate fruit trees. Orchards contract with beekeepers or have their own hives. If the orchard is not a sustainable one, they will probably use fungicides and pesticides which will kill honeybees. Beneficial pollinators visit the trees when there are blossoms for nectar and pollen. If the trees are sprayed during blossom time, the pollinators will certainly die.
Elm Tree Farm uses non-toxic sustainable methods including pheromone traps. The red plugs contains a pheromone that attracts the detrimental insects which then get stuck on the sticky triangular cardboard trap.
Horticulturist Lisa checking and logging the traps to keep tabs on which insects are visiting, how many, and when they emerge and arrive. (below)Elm Tree Farm
The plum curculio is one of the four most damaging insects to fruit trees including apples. The adults feed on buds, blossoms, leaves and new fruit. The scars appear as shallow cavities where they then lay eggs. (below)Plum curculio damage
Sustainable practices including cover crop on the aisles between the trees, pheromone traps, and kaolin clay spray are organic and safe treatments. Elm Tree Farm has been sprayed with a kaolin clay mixture, a naturally made food grade powder that contains minerals. It can be eaten but is a deterrent to insects. This is not sprayed on the blossoms. (below)
Carpenter Nature Center invites the public to pick their own apples. Different species ripen and are ready at different times. My favorite are the Zestars which are ready to pick in September. Go here to see the delicious variety of apples at Carpenter. (below)
Sustainable principles include planting a variety of plants, not just one (mono crop). If there is only one type of plant which blossoms at one time of year, that means pollinators will only have food while that one plant is blossoming and starve the remaining months. A monocrop or a single type of plant pulls a lot of one component or mineral out of the oil, thus depleting the soil. So, it's important to have a diverse farm or garden with a variety of blossom times and plants that contribute to the soil.
Apples are picked by hand, placed into a canvas bag which hangs over the pickers neck.
Apples are emptied into wood boxes and transported for rinsing. Carpenter sells both #4 and perfect apples. #4 apples are those apples that have a few imperfections, a scar or a little indent.The consumer can do a lot to help the planet and save pollinators and honeybees when it comes to fruit and apples in particular. If the consumer can change the way they think about their food there would be less pesticides and fungicides used, and much less food waste. Those apples with a little imperfection are delicious.
Please think about what you can do to save our pollinators because time is running out. Here are some things everyone can do:
- plant gardens instead of lawns. Lawns are a waste of water, require toxic herbicides and chemicals and do not offer any forage/food for pollinators. Consider clover instead of grass seed.
- when purchasing garden plants, insist your garden supplier is selling you non-insecticidal plants. Many of the plants sold to homeowners are grown from insecticidal seed which is systemic in the plant all of its life and kills pollinators.
- think of pollinators as a good thing because they are. teach your children to respect and admire them for their ingenuity rather than being frightening or killing them.
- do not use insecticidal sprays or pesticides on your own gardens or yards. home use of pesticides is now equal to the destruction being done to pollinators that big time commercial agriculture does.
- support your local beekeeper that is toxic-free and call on them for questions about how to help pollinators in your own yard.
- grow and offer habitat for pollinators in your yard and in the roadside near your home.
- buy organic pesticide free cotton (clothing), and food. It's not only healthy for pollinators, but also for humans.

text: halllons 0 Report post Posted September 22, 2009 Hello guys, We are a Norwegian race team which runs a race car currently mapped on North European E85. This car is to compete on American soil, and we need to source E85 fuel of sufficient quality. As the fuel in Northern Europe has a much higher octane rating than US fuel we believe pump E85 in California has a lower octane rating than the fuel the car is mapped for. 1. Can anyone supply the RON/MON octane rating of California pump E85 (as available at these stations: http://e85vehicles.com/e85-california.htm) 2. Does anyone know where we can get "race E85" in the LA area? We are coming out to race in just over one week, so all feedback and help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, Fredric Aasbo / Team Japan Auto Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PUBG update introduces new weather, new bullet physics
PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds just pushed out its 19th update to the test servers this past week, and it brings a whole new platter of features and changes to existing features for players to enjoy.
The major new additions to the popular Battle Royale shooter are two-fold. One is that the game introduces new localized bullet penetration and related physics. The other is that the patch also reintroduces dynamic weather to the first two PUBG maps, Erengal and Miramar. So let's dig in deeper shall we?
First up is the bullet penetration modeling being added to specific sections of the character models. The basic idea is that players can now penetrate some sections of the character model of their target to cause extra damage. In one example, if Player A shoots Player B in the head, but B blocks the shot with their hand, the damage will "pass through" that hand and still count as a critical shot. The system applies to only head, torso, and waist shots, and does not work on Shotguns
The other important new feature is the addition of improved weather modeling to the first two game maps, Erengal and Miramar. Check out a trailer for the new weather system that's in-progress down below.
And it's not just these two major new features that headline in update 19 either. The most recent iteration also fixes some bugs and cleans up various elements of the game UI. Things have been tweaked like extra settings for Custom Matches to make the level of control even more granular. Other UI improvements include a slider for improved inventory management. From the inventory, players can move a slider to select the quantity of an item they'd like to drop.
If you want to run through the full patch notes, they're available over here.

When we bought the house, my hubby and I were enamored with the beautiful tile floor: 2,000 square foot of beautiful wall-to-wall standing tile from one end of the little farm to another. "Jackpot!" we thought. No carpet to vacuum or shampoo: a reward for my allergic reactions. And just envision how easy it would end up being to keep when we possess children! Carry it up, and you're completed! Unique Tote Bag
Little do we know that six years and two children down the road, that gorgeous tile ground would have got become the bane of my existence-or that we were about to begin on a house task that could bring us to the edge of divorce. mar y sol tote bags.
tote bag queen band,A few issues you should know about slate tile. It can be not, hard, durable, and impervious to destruction. Slate is definitely, in truth, extremely porous. It is definitely not wash-and-go, low maintenance floors. It requires love and interest and a reasonable quantity of upkeep. That being said, it can be beautiful, versatile in terms of interior mécor, and excellent for sock skating. And, with a little information, it can remain therefore for years to come. tote bag 30 x 40.
Tote Bag Spacewalk Dualtone Comics Edition
The earlier owners of our home either did not really keep up with floor maintenance or did a substandard job of refinishing to make the flooring all "purtied-up" for potential purchasers. It appeared great at first peek, but upon closer inspection, we understood they experienced refined dirt best onto the baseboards and gotten cat hair trapped in the flooring. They utilized a standard flooring shine, of which they still left a few bottles ostensibly for our use. Upon reading the directions, I was horrified to discover that the polish required to be completely stripped using ammonia and re-done every three to six months. I did therefore faithfully in the main traffic areas of the home for the initial calendar year.
Then, I acquired my child, and I got bored with the flooring and confused with the task of mommy-hood. I decided that the stripping and polishing could wait-"what difference would it make," believed I? (Even more on what a HUGE difference it would make afterwards.) I still swept and mopped; the flooring was clean. That was all I could deal with. I spent huge chunks of my dreaming period considering of plush luxurious carpet and huge portions of my spending cash on different gadgets and gizmos claiming to make ground washing a snap. And however, the floor kept searching dirtier and dirtier and obtaining harder and harder to clean.
timbuk2 tote bag,Neglect forward three years to child number two. He's a food flinger. You moms know what I suggest. Each truly delicious dish must be looked into, dumped, and dropped, wreaking havoc on my already belabored flooring. I now steam clean the flooring with a ground sanitizer (I highly suggest the HAAN steam items. They enable you to clean, disinfect and sanitize nearly your entire home without a solitary chemical product-plain aged clean water) and clean the most dirty areas with a clean brush connection on a hand-held steamer.
Tote bag under 50,But the floor steamer was getting harder and harder to drive. It held staying, and the tile was picking up more and more grub. No matter what I did, my floors still appeared dirty. So I began to research. I discovered a great deal about flooring and also more about slate, and I figured out what our following home task acquired to be.
Slate is a extremely porous organic rock material. If not properly polished or covered, it will be incredibly prone to liquefied absorption and discoloration. Its surface has natural grooves and storage compartments (actually in seemingly smooth tile) that will hold dirt and particles and pre-chewed meals. The tile itself can be broken and scraped by everyday resolution and muck if it is not really secured. This is definitely why I could not clean my flooring. The dirt is definitely soaking into the tile, and the washing providers perform, as well.
There are several ways you can select to deal with this situation. You can ignore it until it is too past due, like I do, or you can select a protective measure for your standing.

The Washington Post has announced changes to its pension plans. Current employees will have to find some way to fund their retirements. What's worse is what will happen to those who already have retired. Steven Mufson of The Washington Post writes: "The changes will hit hardest at employees hired before 2009 who could plan on receiving pension payments based on their income and years of service. Each of those employees could see scores — or hundreds — of thousands of dollars less over the course of a retirement. More recent hires do not have traditional pension plans."
I understand that the newspaper business, like other industries, has to adapt to being smaller. A friend of mine who worked for the Chicago Sun-Times had his pension cut. However, if a pension fund was properly funded, why are such cuts necessary? Every time a company or unit of government cuts benefits to retired people, the excuse is one of necessity. What happened to the money that the employees and the company contributed to the fund? Why do retired employees pay the price instead of executives and stockholders? We need to start asking such questions.
Three cheers to Laura Clawson of Daily Kos for informing her readers of this story, which for retirees is more than a story – it's a tragedy.
