Sooooooooo now Halloween's over it's pretty much Christmas right? Hehe I jest, I jest.
Saying that, feeling festive is one of the best feelings there is. I don't think there's anything wrong with dragging it out for as long as possible! There is nothing better than that warm fuzzy feeling you get on the gradual run up to Christmas.
Autumn has definitely delivered too. I have really appreciated the changing seasons this year, I gotta thank my Autumn Lust list a lil bit for that. I attempted to tick as many off as poss, and there has been a few moments where I have stood and thought to myself, ugh what a beautiful world we live in. Lol, I sound like my Dad – but ya gotta appreciate the world you live in every now and then ya know?
Anyway – the months seem to be slipping through my fingers, but here's what I loved in October…
My gal Fifi and I had the BEST (breast?) time at Festifeel a few weeks back. We popped prosecco, donned our tit-tee's, covered our faces in glitter and ventured to the House of Vans for an afternoon of dancing, chuckling and BUSTED… (actual dream come true, a tear may have been shed). Festifeel in an annual festival put together by CoppaFeel, raising awareness for breast cancer getting gals and guys to check their boobies to prevent late detection of the disease. Check 'em out… Check your boobs whilst you're at it.
Matt and I spent the weekend in Devon at the start of the month. It was B L I S S. We went for beach strolls, roast dinners and cycled in the Sunday morning sunshine for Rowcroft, the hospice who cared for Matt's Grandad. Charity events always have such a positive, electric feel to them. It really was such a beautiful way to spend the morning, I need to get out there on mi bike more often! Ain't quite the same in London though is it?
I meaaan Estée is a fountain of talent. She is the ultimate babe and I love her new podcast The Heart of It. She chats about a different subject each week (feminism, make up, strength, identity etc) and I absolutely recommend you had a listen if you haven't already.
The past month has been pretty tight. Many outgoings, not so many incomings. Many struggles. However, I've made some changes. I haven't set foot in Pret for WEEKS. I shop in Aldi even though it is easier to pop into Sainos. I make my morning coffee at home. Just being a little more mindful with where my money goes has made such a difference. It also pushes you out of the comfort of routine, switching things up, taking notice of folks handing out free coffee vouchers, rather than mindlessly waltzing past into Pret. I'm under the illusion that maybe I might be getting my sh*t together…
This year is the first year I celebrated Diwali. The girls and I headed over to Neasden Temple (SO BEAUTIFUL) to see the fireworks, it was magical. Diwali celebrates light over darkness, good over evil, hope over despair. So many people coming together to celebrate all the light and joy in the world is so special, it was such a wonderful evening. 💖
As ya probs know by now, I ain't the biggest fan of a night out. I gotta be in the mood, otherwise I am more than happy with a glass 'o fizz, good company and a Disney film… Alas, when I'm in the mood, I'm in the MOOD 💃💃💃💃 We had all the giggles, cocktails and karaoke. It was one of those nights with no drama, no upset over boys, just a group of tispy, hyper gals having a good time. (I am the type of obnoxious person I hate on a night out, eg the pic above…)
D'ya remember the blog post I wrote about a few new habits a few weeks back? I have been trying my best to keep it up, to look after myself and ~attempt~ to feel like the best version of myself poss. I was kindly invited along to and evening of pampering with Mira Showers, and it was just what I needed. The juiciest back massages, cocktails (on a Monday night 🙌) natural beauty chats with Midas Touch and a brand new Mira shower head. I look pretty happy with it don't I? I tell ya what, it is the DREAM. Especially now it is chilly and a hot, steamy power shower feels like absolute heaven.

Of course, this is not the first time Animalcouriers has been involved in helping a British couple bring a rescue dog to the UK from overseas. If you follow our blog, you'll remember Togo, who was brought back from Morocco to Scotland last year by Jo and Peter with our help.
So how did we get involved with Canico?
Ray and Jane found us by doing a Google search. They were originally looking for a way to get Canico into quarantine in England. We 'talked' by email and suggested that, as Canico had had such a terrible start in life, it might be better for him to go into more of a family environment to wait out the six-month pet passport period.
With Mary and Olof at Cartama Kennels in Malaga, Spain, he'll have the chance to socialise with other dogs and live in a family setup until November, when we can collect him and bring him home to Ray and Jane. Mary and Olof have looked after a number of other dogs who've had to wait for their pet passports — remember Toffee, Belle and Flee?
Ray, Jane and SPAD (animal welfare group in Funchal) arranged Canico's flight from Madeira to Portugal. Ray and Jane had a travel box delivered to Animalcouriers' UK office, and we had it flown out last week from Gatwick to Funchal with Thomson Airways.
We put Ray and Jane in touch with Ricardo at Quinta Monte Dos Vendavais Pet Hotel, to meet Canico at Lisbon airport and put him up for a day or two until we could pick him up. (Quinta Monte Dos Vendavais is a marvellous place for dogs and cats to stay, complete with indoor heated swimming pool and special activity areas for doggy play times.)
In fact, by a happy coincidence, we were able to be at Lisbon airport ourselves, so Canico had quite a reception committee! He's now settled into our van for the journey to Mary and Olof's, where he's sure to get a very warm welcome.

Designing for Operative Applications
Infections after K-wire surgery are usually the result of trauma to the surrounding soft tissues. Several factors can induce soft tissue trauma, including thicker wires (such as Steinmann pins), during pre-drilling or in situations that allow lateral slippage of the wire throughout the healing process.
Why Surgeons ask for Custom K-Wires
Due to the variations in operative procedures, extent, and location of fractures and patient skeletal architectures, some physicians prefer wider options in Kirschner wires. Many experienced surgeons often look for differing modifications that can be implemented in manufacturing a better K-wire for one or more surgical procedures.
Some of the leading incentives for customized K-wire prototypes and proprietary production runs have been spurred by a surgeon's desire to:
- Reduce wound infection
- Refine the k-wire insertion method
- Improve insertion of k-wires into small fragile bones versus thick long bones
- Reduce fracture dislocations
Surgical Applications
Kirschner wire lengths, shapes, and diameter can be customized to your specific medical-surgical needs. New innovations and uses of K-wires are continually explored through medical research and with timely developments in materials and surgical tools.
To learn more about more recently published or in-depth studies, please refer to our Resources page.
For custom k-wire design questions or other specialized k-wires, please call us. For your convenience, you may also forward your questions using our Contact form.
NOTE: Standard K-Wires are NOT in stock because we specialize only in the manufacture of custom-designed Kirschner Wires.

Awww, puppies and kittens. I'll take that any day of the week.ReplyDelete
Very interesting and wonderful post! Thank you! But.... Where do the ripples on my thighs factor in???ReplyDelete
Unicorn world where I get to have pale lavendar hair . Right with ya exactly on this one today..thinking along the same lines but not writing as well..Happy New YEARReplyDelete
Unicorn World for all!!!ReplyDelete
Superb post.ReplyDelete
Superb lady.
Have a New Year as wonderful as YOU!!
we hold a big key in our handsReplyDelete
sometimes we lock ourselves up
sometimes we open the doors
ripples in ever-wider circles outward
or a whirlpool converging inward
somewhere between we seek balance
in a unicorn planet
yup. That is the way it happened with me...first me, then my body, then my appearance, then my house, my yard, then my daughter's girlscout troop and then handing out food to the homeless.ReplyDelete
weird. Great post.
I hadn't heard it compared to ripples, but it's true. I clearly remember how my world had shrunk when I was 460 pounds. The bigger I got, the smaller my "world" became.ReplyDelete
It got so that I was essentially a shut-in, and would close the mini-blinds... and they stayed closed for weeks on end. I wouldn't answer the door... the phone. My whole world was inside an old 10 x 55 mobile home.
Then, slowly, it reversed. As I got smaller, my world got bigger. I opened the blinds... answered the door, the phone. Ventured out and started Living again. I had hope again.
Thanks for the walk down memory lane. It makes me feel grateful.
wonderful post, I like the ripples, may we all live the very best of life. hugs.ReplyDelete
I'm in a hurry with loads of reading to catch up so wasn't going to make any comments but.......ReplyDelete
This is exactly what's been happening to me and I didn't realise how serious it is until now. I've just posted about how I'm not myself, haven't been for a very long time and now I know. Something happened and I let the ripples turn backwards. Time to change.
Thanks for helping me see clearly.
And isn't it wonderful when the ripple effect appears when we make positive changes? I've noticed several times that the positive changes I've made in my own life have influenced others to make positive changes in theirs. It's a wonderful feeling... rather humbling I think.ReplyDelete
Just reading your post put ripples on either side of my mouth, as it curved upward.ReplyDelete
All the best in 2011, Anne.
I enjoyed your post, but the unicorn picture is a little creepy looking. They all look like zombie unicorns ...
This is a perfect description of the going into and healing from depression. For someone with my disorder though, the progression and healing can take place within the space of minutes rather than days or weeks. I couldn't have descrined my struggle better.ReplyDelete
I am the waterReplyDelete
I am the rock
I am the ripple
I am the words
You are the Tune
Play me
A little off Key?
Just Right!
<3 Definitely causing me to ponder some things...ReplyDelete
Hope you have an awesome Friday, and a Happy New Years eve!
Anne, I want to wish you a wonderful 2011. Thanks so much for all of your supportive comments and posts!ReplyDelete
So true. There were weeks when I wouldn't even look in the mirror because I hated myself. Everything was locked up tight inside. Slowing coming out of my shell again.ReplyDelete
Unicorns and rainbows!!! They sell canned unicorn meat at ThinkGeek.com Just in case you're ever in the market. I'm serious. :)
Wow, you hit that nail on that head, sister. Love the post.ReplyDelete

What an wonderful way to see the world.
Here's to absent friends and fallen bloggers.
I read this and I could see myself in the words. Deep into my issues. That's me, even now, although I am improving, I am working on it. I am between being positive about the future and still ashamed about the past.ReplyDelete
Such an insightful post, Anne. Thanks!
Wishing you a very happy New Year :)
Been thinking on this all day! Happy New Year!ReplyDelete

Sessions Up to Old Tricks on Affirmative Action
This country was built off of systemic racism. So we should not be surprised that Jeff Sessions is moving to investigate whether affirmative action discriminates against white students. The punchline? They're using money meant for civil-rights enforcement to fund it. Everybody benefits from affirmative action, but it's a lot easier for white people to get mad about it because they see it as minorities getting something over them. After 300 years of abusing people of color, the least they could do is spend 100 years trying to level the playing field.

Adding a new addition to the family is a sure fire way to change your priorities overnight. Suddenly your own wellbeing isn't the focus, and for most, barely a concern. Adjusting to this change can be difficult, so it's important to stay on top of things and not let routine get away from you. Staying fit and looking after yourself will play a key role in ensuring you maintain the right attitude towards your newfound parenthood. Here are a few tips on how to lose weight after becoming a new parent.
How to lose weight starts with a realistic goal with a realistic timeframe
It may sound silly, but actually writing your goal down and sticking it somewhere obvious (like the fridge) is going to remind you every day of what you are training for or where you are trying to get to. Once the goal is set, try to be as specific as possible, for example:
If your goal is to lose weight, how much would you like to lose and by when?
Once you have these in writing, now ask yourself how you're going to achieve this, what foods are you going to try to reduce, and on what days are you going to exercise. Finally, ask yourself is this goal achievable in the time frame based on the things you are going to change and the exercise you are going to commit to.

Sleep when you can
The precious commodity you can never get enough of! It sounds obvious but sleep plays a vital role in living a healthy lifestyle. Your sleep patterns are going to be severely disrupted in the first year so grabbing any amount of sleep whilst you can even if it's 20-30mins, will help with motivation levels to exercise, eat healthy food and make good decisions. Power napping or practising meditation while your child sleeps will have huge health benefits.
Spring clean to succeed
The fact of the matter is, if there are indulgent treats, unhealthy snacks or highly processed foods in your cupboards at home, no matter how strong your willpower is, you are going to crack at some stage. My advice is to remove the temptation altogether and get rid of them. This doesn't mean you have to eat like a rabbit from now on but in order for you to get into the swing of things, it's a great place to start.
Reduce your alcohol
A sustainable lifestyle is all about balance, so cutting out alcohol all together probably won't suit most people nor should it. Reducing your alcohol consumption throughout the week will curb unnecessary calorie consumption, help you think more clearly and make it easier to get up for that early morning training session before work. Try it, it could just be the one area you are overlooking.
30 minutes every day
Rather than flogging yourself every day and finishing the week shattered, start slowly with a mixture of cardio, strength and recovery sessions that can be completed within a quick 30-minute time frame. This won't affect your day too much and when you are ready to increase the time you can. Keep the session short and just increase the intensity or volume of the session. Get it done and get on with your day.
Kickstart your day
Get some goodness into your body after your morning strength workout with this super tasty smoothie that is packed with protein, iron and carbohydrates to help your body repair and set you up for a busy day ahead.
1/2 banana frozen banana
1 tsp low sugar low salt peanut butter
2/3 cup pasteurised egg whites
1 handful spinach
1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
2-3 ice cubes
Place all the ingredients into a blender and blitz for 60 seconds until smooth.
Top tip: peel a bunch of bananas, slice in half and freeze in small food bags ready for when you need them.
Here's an example of how to lose weight from a '30 minute a day' week, noting rest days:
Mon – Cardio
Tues – Strength
Wed – Recovery
Thurs – Cardio
Fri – Strength
Sat – Strength
Sun – Recovery

Radical systemic change will never be achieved through the current two party electoral system and meaningful local change requires time-consuming community education and organization. We need time we don't have.
City Council Approves Expanded Outreach Process for SFUAD: We were heartened to hear that the City Council unanimously approved amendments to expand outreach and engagement efforts related to Santa Fe University of Art & Design. The Mayor, City Councilors and city administrators and staff should be commended for taking this necessary step. Of course, the importance of this vote will reside in the speed with which the process is launched, who is selected to manage that process, how that process unfolds and what its ultimate impact may be on the design and development of the property. Stay tuned, but in this and future blogs we will outline a bit of what we see as possible outcomes that would support the goals outlined in Chainbreakers' Residents Bill of Rights. Click here to review the Residents Bill of Rights.
More on the NYT's Magazine Article : The day after we published a link to the NYT's novella length article on climate change on how "we" had missed the opportunity to address the threats of climate change, I wrote another post referencing Naomi Klein's rebuttal, where she praised the delineation of all the wrong turns made in the 80's and 90's but challenged the central deduction drawn from the article: that it was human nature at fault and that the failure rested with we the people for our being incapable of making sacrifices and changing our consumption patterns. As pointed out on Tuesday, the article was half right. We had missed an opportunity, but as pointed out by Klein and subsequently others, the "we" was really capitalism, the extractive industries, the media and both political parties. The next day I posted again about the NYT referencing Klein's criticism. Click here to review that post.
Klein is not alone in criticizing the article and for precisely the same reason: In pointing the finger at mankind's consumerism, the article failed to identify and critique the true culprit: capitalism, neo-liberalism and globalization. The same day I wrote about the NYT article, I found a Think Progress article criticizing the NYT's and then two days ago, Mariel Nanasi sent me another article from The Atlantic by Robinson Meyer. All three articles make the same critique, Rich was correct in identifying a missed opportunity to more proactively address climate change, but then missed the boat entirely in attributing the blame. Click here to get The Atlantic Report. Click here to get the Think Progress report, although I think Klein's piece was more on point in her explicit criticism of capitalism. Her title tells it all: Capitalism Killed Climate Change, Not Human Nature. Click here to read her article, so spot on.
Democratizing the Workplace
On Wednesday Roxanne and I appeared on a Las Cruces radio show with two members of the Las Cruces chapter of Democratic Socialists of America. At one point we were discussing the viability of democratic socialism as an economic system and one of the DSA reps stated that Amazon warehouse employees have limits on how long they are allowed to go to the restroom and that they use bottles to pee into to meet productivity standards. We went on with the interview but both Roxanne and I were like: "What? Seriously?" So I did a google search and found a series of articles describing exactly this situation.
From a Verge article: "[Amazon] Workers who pick up products for delivery at a warehouse in Staffordshire, UK use bottles instead of the actual toilet, which is located too far away, as reported by James Bloodworth an investigative reporter who went undercover as an Amazon warehouse worker. They are afraid of being disciplined for idling and losing their jobs as a result, he added. Bloodworth told The Sun in an interview that the warehouse resembled a prison or an airport, with high security scanners that check workers for banned items like hoodies, sunglasses, and phones, and other employees who pat down workers to check for stolen goods."
'Kevin Gundlach, president of the South Central Federation of Labor in Madison, WI, had heard about Spain's Mondragon cooperative complex and their union cooperatives in the U.S. He researched how labor could support cooperative development in this country. During his research, Gundlach read about the city of New York investing a million dollars for worker cooperative development. It sparked an idea for Madison.
Then he bumped into the mayor, Paul R. Soglin, at a community picnic. Gundlach told Soglin about his idea to have the city help with cooperative development, not just to create good jobs, but to support neighborhoods. The mayor, Gundlach, responded with: "This is something I'd been interested in as well."
Soon after that conversation, Soglin initiated Madison's Capitol Improvement Plan, "Co-operative Enterprises for Job Creation & Business Development." This plan authorized the city to spend $1 million each of five years starting in 2016 to fund "cooperative/worker-owned business formation for the purposes of job creation and general economic development in the city."
Madison has established a kind of publicly sponsored and funded worker cooperative incubator and the result is over two dozen thriving worker cooperatives in the city (see list at the end of the post). This isn't just one city in a wildly progressive bubble doing this. Note from above that the first thing that Gundlach did was reach out to Mondragon, the largest worker cooperative in the world.
Mondragon was formed in 1943 when Don Jose Maria created a school that was organized in the form of a cooperative. Over time Mondragon has evolved into a vast network of worker cooperatives functioning in dozens of industries throughout Spain and the world. Mondragon will be the focus of a future post, but for those who want a quick read on its history, click here. Cities across the world are learning from Mondragon as evidenced from this report from the UK on the explosive growth and effectiveness of worker owned collectives in their country. Click here for the report from the UK.
Organizing worker collectives in a systematic way at a local level is not a wildly idealistic, utopian dream. We visited with city administrators in Rochester who, with support from the Democracy Collaborative, are replicating what is being done in Philadelphia and Madison by negotiating with that city's "anchor institutions", e.g. hospitals, large supermarket chain, university, etc. While just beginning, they are negotiating with anchor institutions to identify services or products that they need and then incubating work cooperatives to address those needs. It is a start toward that city's effort to democratize the workplace.
What if a city, say Santa Fe New Mexico, or ABQ or Las Cruces decided that they could/should foster the development of worker cooperatives? Imagine, if those cities worked with local foundations, philanthropists and the state to fund the development of a worker cooperative incubator program, perhaps with the local community college to provide training for students and with key anchor institutions like their hospitals, universities, community colleges, and other industries identifying service and product needs that could be addressed by worker owned cooperatives.
Worker cooperatives are just one of several equity-focused initiatives that Roxanne and I have explored on our Road Trip. Our learning from meetings with leadership who have advanced worker cooperatives has been augmented by time spent reading about Mondragon and other efforts to democratize the work place and to create local participatory democratic structures such as found in Spain through the Municipality movement (or En Comu). Look for more on this, but if you want to whet your appetite, we are providing podcasts from The Next System Project that describe a wide variety of cooperative, democratic and socialist initiatives.
The Next System Project has a website with over 20 podcasts on a variety of issues. Click here to get to that site. To amplify on what is presented above, we provide a link to one of those podcasts, an interview with Esteban Kelly. Esteban is the executive director of the US Federation of Worker Cooperatives. He is a co-founder of the cross-sector Philadelphia Area Cooperative Alliance and the Anti-Oppression Resource & Training Alliance, also known as AORTA. He has served on numerous boards and is deeply involved in the solidarity economy and cooperative movements. Click here to listen to the podcast. The transcript to the interview appears with the interview itself.
In solidarity,
Roxanne and Paul

Do you use Flickr? Even though Carmen has been on there for years (and has some outstanding photos!), I'd not spent any real time on the site until I read this article (HT Veron) on how easy it is to find great shots to illustrate your posts, many of which are free to use through Creative Commons (such as the two on these posts). I plan to include an image with all my substantive posts from now on (the one above is mine), but the truth is, I'm just enjoying browsing the site. There are some breathtaking photos from some truly gifted artists (yes, that includes you Carmen!).
I'm pretty much a two-bit amateur when it comes to photography, but I've set up an account here so that I can follow other people's photostreams. And who knows, maybe now and then I might have some decent pictures to post myself.

U.S. Law Firm Mergers and Acquisitions is Booming
A new report by the consulting firm Altman Weil revealed that this year's mergers and acquisitions of law firms from January through September were up 79% on the national level compared to the same period last year. However, the report also stated that in Pennsylvania, the number of those types of moves has remained steady.
Unlike the preceding year, there are no firms in Pittsburgh that have been involved so far in any mergers this year.
According to the same report, during the first nine months of 2011, law firms in the U.S. have been involved in 43 acquisitions and mergers, while there had been only 24 of those kinds of deals by this point in 2010.
Ward Bower, Altman Weil's principal, said that the remarkable increase in mergers and acquisitions across the United States may be, at least partially, attributable to the release of "pent-up demand" after one of the worst economic crisis in history.
He said that firms in 2011 have been much more aggressive than they were in 2010 after seeing signs of improvement in the economy.
Bower said, "During the recession and in the immediate aftermath of the recession, firms were in what I'm going to call a 'survival mode,' not a strategy mode. Now that the economy has grown, they're dusting off their strategies."
He also said that many of those strategies seem to focus on geographic growth, as a number of mergers and acquisitions that happened over the past nine months were either interstate or international.

Chicken is and will always be flavorful. They are pocket friendly at the same time. They also simple to prepare. Chicken recipes are so many; you can't go wrong in preparing them. Be it stewing, grilling, or stir frying, chicken will always be sweet. Always ensure to cook it to the correct internal temperatures to avoid consuming uncooked meat.
Chicken is prone to food contamination. Maintain high hygienic standards while handling cooking it. The best and safe indicator of a cooked chicken is by checking on its temperature. Its internal temperature should be 165 degrees F.
Labels on chicken packages can be deceiving, especially if you are buying them from the stores. When buying chicken, you should look for creamy white to yellow birds and avoid those with bruises and blotched marks.
Healthy chicken mealsstart from the point of purchase. You should always go for good quality and fresh chicken. Avoid buying the ones that overstayed in the stores, otherwise you won't enjoy you dish at all.
When selecting your chicken, go for the free-range, organic and local poultry. They provide more eco-friendly alternatives and cost a pretty penny.
A perfect Corn tortilla is pliable, warm, and tastes like corn. If you fail to warm the tortillas properly, they end up breaking down. You surely don't want everything falling apart in your taquitos. You should heat the tortillas in a cast iron girdle with a drop of oil, for 15-20 seconds on each side. You then have to wrap the heated tortillas in a clean cooking napkin to keep them warm. You can also use a tortilla warmer as an alternative.
This is a fun and flavorful recipe. The kids will enjoy it and it is definately one to try during the summer. Chicken is a versatile meat that you can use in different recipes.
This baked chicken taquitos recipe incorporates expeller pressed grapeseed which allows the natural fresh flavor of the ingredients to come out. There is a garlic falvored version that i use to add flavor when sauting vegetables.
Tia Roses Enchilada sauce is a complex sauce made up of tomatoes, chilies, authentic Mexican spices with a hint of cocoa. Yes, you read right, cocoa! I use this sauce for any and all things Mexican, including enchiladas, quesadillas, and even as a slow cooker sauce for chicken and pork.
Baked chicken is a very rich source of nutrients, especially protein. Baking is an easy mode of cooking chicken and you are guranteed the same taste each time.
Any thoughts that benefits are limited to protein i s erroneous. Chicken contains B-12, which is your best pal when it comes to the provision of oxygen to the body tissues. B12 is a building block for your blood.
Did you know that baked chicken is healthier than the dark grilled ? The reason is that grilling triggers more production of carcinogen during cooking, especially if you blacken the chicken.
Serve with rice and vegetable. If you are trying to cut down on fat, remove the skin. For the Keto lovers out there, keep the skin on and serve on a bed of potatoes. It's also best served without skin to reduce fats and cholesterol intake in the body for health purposes. This recipe for chicken is a healthy method of preparing this popular delicious protein. One more thing, it's advisable to let any meat sit for a few minutes after baking or grilling. You will get the wonderful juices and enhance the tenderness.

The Language of Marketing Eye
The Language of Marketing Eye
Many successful companies have a "company language" that everyone in the organisation has been trained on, it's embedded in the way they talk, the way they write and the way they communicate ideas. The power of language is so huge that Marketing Eye suggests every business should add a company language element to their corporate identity or style guide. It's as important if not more important than your visual identity. It compliments your tone of voice and supports your written communications and marketing pieces.

This time Florida Couple makes an appearance:
A Florida couple was arrested last week after they were caught allegedly selling drugs out of a drive-thru window they constructed out of the side of their mobile home. William Parrish Jr. and McKenzee Dobbs of Ocala, Florida, were arrested on August 23 after investigators raided their mobile home following reports of four drug overdoses in the area.
Ocala Police said the couple had turned a kitchen window into a drive-thru so customers would not have to constantly enter and exit their home, potentially drawing unwanted attention, WFTV reported. The house had signs directing people where to drive and indicated whether it was open or closed, police said.

Our last posted article advised you on how to step up against competition in an uncertain economy. This one addresses how to motivate your sales and recruiters in an uncertain economy, which is just as important for your business success.
For example, did you know that 70% of current sales teams and recruiters have never worked through a recession? They're going to need motivation and guidance to navigate the cycles that are bound to be ahead.
First of all, are we in fact in a recession? Financial experts aren't sure, but they're looking for clues. This includes evidence of a significant and sustained downturn in economic activity that is broadly distributed across the economy. It's not being worried about a blip, but a substantial downfall. We're not there yet, but educating yourself will help you, in turn, educate your staff and they can know the market that they are dealing with.
Here's how to reduce turnover and boost employee morale.
1. First, hire well in the beginning.
Easier said than done but a motivated, intelligent professional is a boon to your business and will understand market trends, and be able to pass them along to both customers and candidates. When hiring, it pays to go beyond a work record and look for attitude, and integrity. Selective questioning can help you here.
2. Give your employees the tools to do the job.
This includes top-of-the-notch ATS/CRM software that will ease scheduling, follow-up, and duplicated or incorrect input. At Madison, we can offer you exactly that type of software.
3. Pay your staff well.
Keep up with what your competitors are paying and make sure you're in the same ballpark.
4. Provide training.
This includes supporting new staff until they can "fly on their own."
5. Share your plans for the future with staff.
If you have a strong business plan and mission, and share it with your staff, they will be motivated to join the journey with you. Otherwise, they may feel lost and look for other opportunities.
6. Motivation is more than a business plan.
It doesn't cost anything to give positive feedback and encourage new ideas. Who knows, a fresh set of eyes might help your business model. Remember that motivation starts at the top. Be positive, even as you're grappling with business issues yourself. What you convey to your employees means a lot.
7. Pay on time, and correctly.
Nothing spells trouble like delayed paychecks for your internal staff or your contractors. At Madison, we have the funding to help you through the uncertain cycles ahead.

Achieving a single view of the customer has been a long-term goal for many organisations, but it often proves costly and elusive. As a result, businesses are unable to answer simple questions accurately, such as how many customers they have. BlueVenn solves that challenge by providing a unified customer data platform (CDP) with analytical capabilities in software-as-a-service form.
Using the CDP, non-technical marketers can analyse billions of data points in milliseconds and within hours of going live on the platform. Connectivity with key martech solutions means batch data loading can be scheduled with automated deduplication, cleansing and transformation. This combination of unified data, embedded analytics and campaign management has been transformational for many brands.
A major global cosmetic brand used BlueVenn in its UK operations to integrate data from 20 brands. This allowed it to identify that a particular type of make-up bottle, used by several of those brands, accounted for a high level of returns because of a manufacturing flaw. This was preventing customers from getting the right amount of foundation out of the bottle. A solution was found and put on sale, reducing returns and generating incremental revenue, together accounting for 11% of UK net operating profit in that year.
Subaru used the solution to understand its car sales in the after-market. This allowed it to tackle servicing, repairs and parts issues, leading to higher profitability, and also to suppress marketing to individuals who no longer owned a particular vehicle. New car sales have actually increased following this initiative.
VictoriaPlum.com recently adopted BlueVenn and discovered it had miscategorised 10% of customers in its gold segment who should have been labelled as platinum. This increased the forecast value of top segment by 52% and the gold group by 242%.


text: The espn ooc schedule is grossly politicle. They rate duke as having a very strong pre conference schedule every year. Just look who they play. They play no one that can beat them and all at home. The only tough game they have is the big 10 acc challenge, and that's only because they have to play that. Eapn pushes the acc as the greatest ever, and as you seen in the tournament they were not very good. The acc champ was eliminated by a middle of the pack sec team, which the Zags eliminated by the way. I know nc won it all but the officials had an agenda. They had to pull the tar heels out against Arkansas Kentucky and the Zags all three. I don't understand this with them involved in the biggest academic fraud case in the history of college athletics. Southern Mississippi coach gave grades to 2 players and the ncaa suspended him from coaching for 10 years which will bring an end to his career,yet nc has been giving grades for classes they don't even attend, and have been doing it for 30 years and still haven't done a thing to them and even gave them this years championship. I personally wish every team not in the acc would leave the ncaa. That way the ncaa could have an acc champion every year.

Name: Bumblebee
Nicknames: Bee
Mate: Ghast
Kittens: n/a
Other Family: Zale (father), Hallaway (mother), Felese (Stepmother), Frenzy (half sister)
Fur : Ringed black and gold
Distinguishing Marks: His facial markings and golden rings makes him resemble a "Bee" or "Wasp." (Hence his name)
Breed: n/a
Personality: Bumblebee, as one of his nicknames hint, can be literally a pain in the butt. He loves nothing more than grinding someone's nerves, and has received many scolding, and a few scars for doing so. He is, by no means cocky, but he is confident in himself, and is hard headed and usually drives someone nuts until he gets what he wants. He is a sly little fox and if anyone he cares for, or anyone above him in position asks him for a favor, Bumblebee would happily oblige with a cheeky little grin plastered on his face.
Bio: Bumblebee is the offspring of a sweet, perky little thing named Hallaway, whom is which is now deceased, and a rather stern, cold hearted father named Zale. When Bee was born, his mother marveled at his wild markings and thought it would be cute to name him after the insect he resembled, a Bumblebee. His father really didn't like the "cutesy" name, but none the less got over it and taught his troublesome son the tricks of the trade. His mother passed away when he was 13 years old, and his father had no trouble in finding a replacement mother for him named Felese. Felese soon gave Bee a half sister named Frenzy. At age 15, Bee's father went crazy after being knocked senseless in the head with a led pipe. Felese at that point had nothing more to do with Zale and Bee, and took Frenzy and left. Zale soon passed away not long after, and Bee has been taking care of himself ever since.
Misc: He often makes up stupid puns that relate to his name and fur coloring

Vesperteen – Operate
Vesperteen is back with his new single "Operate". Opening with sparse production, Vesperteen's vocals drive the verse with a mellow morbidity as the groove builds around his careful croon. As his voice sails into a falsetto, the beat shifts towards a pulsing rhythm that has a retro-yet-fresh feeling carrying that vibe into the chorus. It's a powerful and anthemic chorus that I can immediately image being sung by a room full of people at a show.
Delivered with unwavering heart and supported by dynamic production, "Operate" is an awesome new single from the inimitably energetic Vesperteen!

It seems like every other day we're reading about some poor sod who had the "worst" date of all time. But trust me when I say: we've found the hands down unluckiest person known to man.
Let me set the scene, if you will. The anon woman (and please can the internet keep her anonymous forever because no one needs this crap — excuse the pun — in their life), went on a Tinder date to with 24-year-old Liam Smyth. Now doesn't that sound idyllic? Well yes, but the evening took a bit of a downward turn after she went back to his.
Basically, she went to the bathroom in his house and because the toilet wasn't working, she couldn't quite get her... deposit... to go away. So she did the only thing any normal human being in their right mind would do (I don't mean that, what she did next was utterly insane) and picked up the poop and just chucked it out of the window into what she thought was the garden. It wasn't.
Unfortunately, it fell down a slim gap between Liam's house and his neighbors' and was just, essentially, sitting there on display for the world to see.
Long story short: She told Liam what had happened but assured him because she was a gymnast, she'd be able to climb out of the window and retrieve the *item* with no fuss. Obviously, because the universe is cruel and clearly has a vendetta against potential lovers, she got stuck. Upside down.
Liam had to call the fire department to come and help her out and if this isn't the worst date story you've ever heard then honestly who are you hanging out with?
He's now started a Go Fund Me page to raise the money to replace his now broken window. He said, "Unfortunately she couldn't reach. She climbed further in and had the same problem. Eventually I agreed to give her a boost up and into the window.
"She climbed in head first after her own turd, reached deeper into the window, bagged it up and passed it out, over the top and back into the toilet from whence it came. She called out to me to help her climb out from the window, I grabbed her waist and I pulled. But she was stuck. Stuck fast. Try as we might, we could not remove her from the window. She was stuck fast, upside down in the gap."
You can read the full description of their... unusual date here. Liam says the woman knows about the fundraising page he's set up and is cool with it. Fair play to her.

Here's how to prepare a simple hair recipe that will make your hair grow like magic:
- Baking soda
- Water
Mix a part of baking soda with 3 parts of water, then wash your hair like always, rinse with water and massage this mixture on your scalp slowly. Keep it on for a couple of minutes, then rinse with lukewarm water in the end.
Once you're done, mix a part of apple cider vinegar with four parts of water – this will be the hair rinse which balances your scalp's pH. You can add a few drops of rosemary, lavender or mint oil to fight the strong smell. Rinse your hair with this mixture after the baking soda recipe, then rinse with water once more in the end. Do this for 1-2 times per week and your hair should start growing like crazy soon.

My thanks to the one person who found time to click on 'helpful'
OK so where do we stand? Oh shit I asked a question! Don't worry it's rhetorical.
1368 S&P futures is the area where the shit hits the fan. 1440 area must be held by the bears otherwise the 1490-1520 area will be the target.
So we stand in the middle. I know these are wide ranges. But I used to update this blog several times a day with predictions down to the TICK and nobody seemed to give a fuck. So this is all I'm into now days.
It still annoys me that I give you my forecast, and with amazing
coincident it happens but none of my readers have the time to say good
job. Look back over the last few posts. Did I waver? Was I within appoxamate values and did I forecast these number while the market was heading the other direction?
Don't worry it's rhetorical. I don't expect nor do I really want a response form you anymore.
But if someone where ever to show me their forks, I'd probably be nice.

However, making sure we understand how well satellite altimeters are working requires continuous work and very specific technology on the ground. The ESA Fiducial Reference Measurements for Satellite Altimetry Project works with the international satellite altimetry community to develop a standardised approach to validating measurements made from space, such as those from the Copernicus Sentinel-3 mission. This short video explains how measurements are taken from the top of a mountain to make sure users get the best data on sea height from satellite altimetry.

State Commission Examining Bromley Fire Department as Neighboring Chief Says City Not Pulling Weight
The chief of the Bromley Volunteer Fire Department has his hands full these days, and not just because he is also the mayor of this northern Kenton County city of roughly 800 people.
The Kentucky Fire Commission is examining the department's roster after names submitted by Jobe were discovered to belong to firefighters who are not part of the Bromley volunteer team.
Meanwhile, the chief of the Crescent Springs-Villa Hills Fire Department has submitted a letter to the City of Bromley, arguing that the number of calls to which his department responds in the city is not fair to the taxpayers from the two cities that fund the manpower and equipment.
Mayor/Chief Donnie Jobe will lead a special meeting at the Bromley city building on Monday at 7:00 p.m.
"It's more of less a disagreement on numbers," Jobe told The River City News a couple weeks ago when questions were raised about the number of runs Crescent Springs-Villa Hills makes into Bromley. "I told my members not to speak about it."
Bromley does not offer advanced life support (ALS) services, and instead contracts with a private company called Rural Metro, for approximately $10,000 per year. If Bromley's fire department and Rural Metro are unable to respond, a mutual aid agreement triggers a response from Crescent Springs-Villa Hills. At some point, the number of calls responded to by Crescent Springs-Villa Hills prompted that department's chief, Jeff Wendt, to write a letter to the Bromley City Council, as well as Kenton County leadership. 44 calls into Bromley equate to 40 percent of all ambulance calls in that city, Wendt said, "much more than what is expected under the Kenton County Mutual Aid Agreement."
In his letter, Wendt wrote, "The Crescent Springs-Villa Hills Fire Department is funded by tax monies from the two cities that we contract with to protect. The average rate for a home owner is $.75 per $1,000 assessed value for providing ambulance coverage. The cost of providing an advanced life support ambulance continues to rise. Medications, fuel, vehicle maintenance and staffing all continue to increase. As Chief it is my responsibility to be fiscally responsible to the residents of Crescent Springs and Villa Hills. Providing free service to the City of Bromley is not in the best interest of our partners."
It is possible that Monday's special meeting is about ALS service and the possibility that Bromley would formally contract with Crescent Springs-Villa Hills rather than Rural Metro, though a formal vote would likely not take place until a regular council meeting, the next of which is scheduled for Wednesday.
"We don't have to be ALS service," Jobe said. The mayor/chief also disputes the numbers presented by Wendt, arguing that the number is closer to 16 runs into the city. Data from Erlanger Dispatch (which is used by Crescent Springs, though Bromley and neighboring Ludlow use Kenton County Dispatch) detail the 44 runs, all of which did not end with a patient being transported. That's where the discrepancy in numbers comes into play.
"Everyone is in agreement that it is excessive," Jobe conceded.
The Ludlow Fire Department has also made a formal offer to provide Bromley with ALS/EMS services but Chief Rob Dreyer told The River City News that he has not been contacted by Bromley's committee to further explore the possibility. He argues that Ludlow's firehouse is one mile from Bromley while Crescent Springs-Villa Hills is 3.5 miles away. Dreyer said that while he is from outside of Ludlow, he is aware of an historic rivalry between Bromley and Ludlow and cites that as a possibility for Bromley's seeming unwillingness to contract with Ludlow.
Ludlow's offer was for 6 months of service at a price tag of $10,600, Dreyer said. That would cover the remainder of the fiscal year, and then in 2016-17, the price would simply be multiplied by two to provide service for a full 12 months.
Meanwhile, another issue is nagging the Bromley Volunteer Fire Department.
The Kentucky Fire Commission, which is part of the Kentucky Community & Technical College System (KCTCS), and which provides training to firefighters in the state, is looking into whether the volume of names turned in by Bromley as trained firefighters who are part of the department is "legitimate".
"There were some names on the roster where the individuals were not on the fire department," said Bruce Roberts, division director at the Kentucky Fire Commission, who is handling the examination. Some of the people whose names appeared on the roster have been contacted and signed affidavits that they were not part of the Bromley Volunteer Fire Department, Roberts stated.
Here is why that matters: To receive state aid, 50 percent of the members listed on a fire department's roster has to have 20 hours of training for that year, Roberts explained. Therefor, it is possible that over the past few years Bromley has received more state aid than it is entitled to.
"What I do is I look at each training roster that is sent to us at the end of the year and I check and verify that with the training and the names that are on the roster," Roberts told The River City News. The examination is looking back at least two years. Roberts' findings will be presented to the board of the Fire Commission which will then make a determination on how to proceed.
Roberts said that he does not believe that Jobe forged any names on the roster.
"There are people on the roster that are lifetime members and they don't want them on the roster anymore, only active members," Jobe said of the state examination. "When they came in, they knew these names have been on the roster forever. This isn't something I did. It is something the previous chief did and somebody started a stink over it."
Mayor/Chief Jobe also said that he does not believe that there is any funding at stake. "If there is, we'll look at it then," he said.

Tulane Moot Court provides students of all experience levels with the opportunity to develop and sharpen oral and written advocacy skills.
Tulane Moot Court is one of the largest student-run organizations at Tulane University Law School and among the oldest programs of its kind in the nation. The Tulane Moot Court program was founded in 1929 by a small group of Tulane Law students, including the legendary U.S. Fifth Circuit Judge John Minor Wisdom. Alumni include state and federal judges, members of Congress, U.S. Ambassadors, and state governors.
Tulane Moot Court is comprised of four Interschool teams: Mock Trial, Appellate, Alternative Dispute Resolution, and Willem C. Vis International Arbitration. The Appellate team consists of four sub-teams: International Criminal Court, John R. Brown Appellate Admiralty, Pace Environmental Appellate, and Black Law Students Association (BLSA) Appellate. Throughout the year, all of these teams earn academic credit by competing in a number of national and international moot court competitions.
The Tulane Intraschool Competition offers an additional way for students to sharpen their oral advocacy skills. The competition is open to all 2L and 3L Tulane Law students. The 2L champion from each discipline receives a Bar Review scholarship. The two 3L Finalists in each competition are engraved in the marble tablets in Room 110 of the law school.
Tulane's Moot Court Board, with the help of the Sports Law Society and the Sports Lawyers Journal staff, hosts the annual Mardi Gras National Moot Court Competition, the only annual moot court competition in the country that focuses on contemporary legal problems confronting the sports industry.

Well, we did it! Twelve months of hiking in a different place each month! We managed to get ourselves outside and on the trails not only when the weather was nice or it was easy to get out the door, but also during the frigid cold of last winter in Buffalo, and even when we had a newborn baby. I'm really proud that we made a commitment and stuck to it, as a family, all year long (even if it was a fun commitment to explore our local hiking trails and get out hiking on vacations). It was a wonderful year, full of big breaths of fresh air, warm sunshine on our faces, and lots of joy as we explored together as a family. And in case you missed any of our recaps, I've gathered links to each of them here.
January: Reinstein Woods Nature Preserve (Cheektowaga, New York)
February: Knox Farm State Park (East Aurora, New York)
March: Como Lake Park (Lancaster, New York)
April: Times Beach Nature Preserve (Buffalo, New York)
May: Darien Lakes State Park (Darien Center, New York)
June: Sprague Brook Park (Glenwood, New York)
July: Great Falls National Park (Great Falls, Virginia)
August: Eternal Flame Trail, Chestnut Ridge Park (Orchard Park, New York)
September: Niagara Falls State Park (Niagara Falls, New York) – with Rebecca!
October: Letchworth State Park (Castile, New York)
November: Bear Lake, Rocky Mountain National Park (Estes Park, Colorado)
December: Tifft Nature Preserve (Buffalo, New York)
Happy trails, indeed! We put feet on so many beautiful trails last year. Here's to another year of fabulous hiking in 2016!

Nordic online gambling operator Cherry AB's affiliate marketing subsidiary Game Lounge has acquired online bet monitoring site Slottracker.com.
On Monday, Cherry announced that Game Lounge had reached a deal to acquire the Slottracker operation from US-based Innovative Game Solutions Partnership. The deal requires Game Lounge to pay €1m, with an additional payment of €300k should Slottracker achieve certain objectives over the next two years.
Slottracker allows players to track their online casino activity across multiple sites, including games played, bets made, winnings or losses and bonuses paid, with the idea of determining which site delivers the best bang for the buck for a player's personal activity patterns.
Game Lounge CEO Jonas Cederholm said he looked forward to working with Slottracker's developers to craft "new features that allow each player to gain more control over their gaming." Cherry CEO Anders Holmgren suggested these new features would appear on Slottracker this year, and he believes the acquisition will "complement Cherry's value chain."
Cherry's bolt-on is but the latest in a series of affiliate deals in recent weeks, including affiliate powerhouse Catena Media, which added to its December acquisition of German-facing Baybets Ltd by adding the affiliate-related assets of Dreamworx Online Ltd, a major German-facing operator specializing in sports, casino and financial services.
Catena has agreed to pay €9.5m – €4m in Catena shares and €5.5m in cash – for the Dreamworx assets, which include Sportwettenanbieter.com, Fussballwetten.info and DeutscheFXBroker.de. The assets are expected to generate quarterly revenue of €600k with an operating margin of around 80%.
UK-listed digital performance marketing firm XLMedia recently agreed to pay €15m for Finnish gambling affiliate Good Game Limited. The Finnish operator, whose websites include Nettikasinot.com, Veikkausbonukset.com and the new Bojoko.com, reported revenue of €1.7m with a 75% earnings margin in its most recent fiscal year.
Last week saw Gambling.com acquire a primarily UK-facing mobile performance marketing network developed by Sabin Brookes and Mike Webb. Gambling.com estimates its new casino and sports betting marketing assets will generate revenue of €400k in Q1 2018 with a pre-tax profit margin of 90%.
In exchange for joining the Gambling.com team, Brookes and Webb will receive £3m upfront, plus a potential maximum earn-out of £4.5m based on hitting certain performance benchmarks over the next 12 months.
Gambling.com CEO Charles Gillespie welcomed his new developers and called the deal "a rare opportunity to do an acquisition of a business that actually innovates and has defined a new segment of the market."

I found this 4-pack of green mesh bags at (where else?) the Dollar Tree. I was just going to add them to my St. Patrick's Day bags as is, then I started twisting them and well, I think it looks like a shamrock. What say you?
So after I emptied bags out of the pouch this was what was left. The pouch is nice weight vinyl and the cardboard is really sturdy, though not particularly pretty. It does help maintain the shape of the pouch however.
And, as luck would have it, when I gently opened up the seam on the cardboard, it just happened to be a shade smaller than 12". That meant that I could use a nice piece of scrapbook paper to cover it. In this case I used a piece of SU's Afternoon Tea paper. I centered the cardboard between the edges of the paper because I wanted a little "wiggle room" when gluing down the paper because of all the folds. I used a glue stick to adhere the paper to the cardboard and the cardboard to the paper - meaning, I put glue on both pieces to make the bond a good one. And then I trimmed away the excess and sealed the seam with a piece of sticky tape.
As I was working on this I was contemplating what to use it for and then I remembered that I had a box on the kitchen counter with all of the "stuff" that I recently cleaned out of the console on the van that we're getting ready to trade in. I think it would be much more "organized" to have some of these things in a nice container in the car. Of course you could use it for any number of things. Some small notecards and envies would fit nicely. What would you put in it? I'd really like to know because I have three more of them!

Met a 31 yr old single mom today that was hot af. Spent about half the date speaking in Vietnamese which she loved. She said I could pull a lot of girls that way lmao.
Was touching me the whole date. I think I could pulled her to my room (above the cafe) if she didnt need to go work. Oh well, will get those clothes off next time.
I always set my tinder 18-25 before and have no problem pulling that age group. But theres some sexy milfs in VN that havent been getting enough love lol. I feel theyre more open for casual relationships too.
I been here a year but feels like im just starting to get into the flow of things. Speaking vietnamese, understand the culture and mindset helps heaps when dating viet chicks. And i can see why so many Westerners coming through strike out. This is a high investment but also high rewards locale.
I have long wondered about the milf scene in Asian countries. I am a big fan of Asian milfs ages 30 to 50. (I'm in my 40s myself.) People don't talk about this side of things much, since younger women are usually available. Which is fine -- more for us, right?
