The U.S. will experience moderate gross domestic product growth this year, with the economy growing 2.4% and picking up the most speed in the second half, according to a new survey from the National Association of Business Economists.
NABE drew its conclusions from a panel of 45 economic forecasters who anticipate average monthly job growth of 170,000 this year and an average unemployment rate of 8.3%.
They expect unemployment in 2013 to drop to 7.8%.
Still, NABE says economists are subdued on consumer spending, with real consumer spending expected to increase only 2.1% in 2012 and 2.3% in 2013, below the historic norm of 2.8%.
The report is optimistic about real estate, with the panel saying housing starts will grow 19% in 2012 to 700,000 units, up from 610,000 in 2011. The forecast for 2013 estimates 850,000 housing starts. Residential investment is expected to increase 6.6% in 2012, higher than the 4.3% predicted in November.
While starts are expected to rise on homes, prices tied to home values are expected to decline to a FHFA index score of 0.9% in 2012. By 2013, prices are expected to increase a bit more than 2%, economists said.

It's almost fall, which means it is almost beanie weather again. :)
And I love fall, and I love warm winter hats. They're just fun--especially ones for little kids.
I knitted this cute cabled baby hat for my little nephew to wear this fall and winter, but this is my cute little bundle of joy modeling it for me. :)
I think she looks adorable. And the hat's pretty cute too--I especially like the little nub on top.
I've made this cabled hat before for a newborn.
But this time, I wanted to make it to fit ~ 6 month old. I wasn't sure how it would work out, but I just moved up 2 knitting needle sizes and then rather than using baby yarn, I used regular worsted weight yarn. I also cut 28 stitches, which was the equivalent of 2 cables and their accompanying rows.
Plopped it on my large-headed 5-month old and it fits perfectly.
My mind is now racing with all the fun ideas of patterns and colors that I could do. The possibilities are endless! Bright and bold, soft and sweet, natural and woodsy.... The possibilities are endless.
Here is the link to the original pattern, which is a great pattern to follow. Good luck and happy knitting.

Shakespeare Monument In Leicester Square Restored With New Water Features
It is intended that these features will give the statue of the playwright and the fountain above which he stands, greater impact and will create more interaction with the public. This was part of a £17m. renovation plan for the Square which was first drawn up well before the London Olympics. Lighting is an important part of this redevelopment and the statue and fountain will be lit at night.
The statue of Shakespeare, the only outdoor statue of the bard in central London, and the original fountain and basin were painstakingly restored by PAYE, a leading stonework and restoration company. The work which involved steam cleaning the dirty Sicilian marble, using poultices on the deeper dirt and intricately hand-carving repairs in new marble took nearly a year to complete.
The Square was reopened by Westminster City Council Deputy Leader, Cllr Robert Davis, himself a sculpture and fountain enthusiast. Davis observed that: 'As Shakespeare himself declared, "All the world's a stage and all the men and women are merely players" and nowhere is this truer than in Leicester Square – the home of the UK's film and entertainment industry.'
Leicester Square was first laid out in 1670, but was redesigned in 1874 by Albert Gottheimer and his architect Sir James Knowles. An unscrupulous speculator, Gottheimer was given the title of Baron by the King of Italy and was known as Baron Grant. Plans for the original ornamental fountain and gardens were described by Knowles, but the addition of the statue of Shakespeare was not revealed until a few days before the Square opened. The monument and fountain were designed by Knowles. The statue is by the sculptor Giovanni Fontana, who had worked for Grant and Knowles at Kensington House (demolished), and is a variant replica of that designed by William Chambers and carved by Peter Scheemakers in Poets' Corner in Westminster Abbey.
Dr. Philip Ward-Jackson in his excellent survey, Public Sculpture of Historic Westminster, vol.1, in the Public Sculpture of Britain series (www.pmsa.org.uk/publications) reveals Knowles' 'pretentious' intentions for the original fountain which he found in contemporary accounts: 'The idea which the designer of the fountain wished to convey…was of the Poet, standing isolated and colossal, cut off from the rest of the world by the quasi-Castalian springs which rise at his feet, but brought close to all men in his works, symbolized by the grass and flowers which spring round the margin of the fountain, and which its water bedews and nourishes. The dolphins playing close below him imply his Arion-like attraction for the 'sane and simple' animal part of us…'. Grant's paper, The Echo, reported that the dolphins emitted water through blow-holes in their heads rather than through their mouths and by doing this were following 'nature and the example of the ancients.' Ward-Jackson also noted that any praise for the scheme at the time was rather reserved and related to it as a public amenity rather than to the merits of the fountain. It is to be hoped that the new revamp will have changed this opinion.

Elections take focus on second day of FISU General Assembly
At the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens, Iranian judoka Arash Miresmaeili was disqualified for weighing in at nearly four pounds above the limit for his weight class of his under-66 kilograms match against an Israeli opponent Ehud Vaks in the first round. It was claimed Miresmaeili had gone on an eating binge to protest the International Olympic Committee's recognition of the state of Israel. Iran does not recognise the state of Israel, and Miresmaeili's actions won praise from high-ranking Iranian officials. Mohammad Khatami, the country's President at the time, was quoted as saying Miresmaili's actions would be "recorded in the history of Iranian glories". He was later awarded $125,000 by the Government - the same amount given to Olympic gold medallists.

Last night I listened to an ad for a seduction system that claimed to exploit a "loophole" in female psychology, one with which any man could read and control the mind of any woman. Although the ad was long and worked very hard to say as many words as possible without giving very much, if anything, away, there were still a few basic ideas that it advanced again and again (probably just to fill time while it subtly attempted to exploit the "loophole" in a man's psychology that they hoped would make me buy their product).
The most basic idea it advanced was that everyone is different, and, therefore, one must first figure out precisely whom one is dealing with before he or she can know how to deal with them most effectively. The video briefly described nine different types of women, and claimed that it only takes three questions to figure out which type you're dealing with at any given moment. It didn't provide these questions, of course, but it did provide one additional insight into human psychology, one which may give us a better idea what sort of qualities we'd be trying to determine with these supposedly magic questions.
This female mind control expert pointed out that just as people are different, so are the things that will turn them on. He says that for some women, stability, safety, and comfort are very, very, sexy, while for others, a little danger and adventure are still their greatest turn-ons. I probably won't be purchasing these videos, so I'll never know for sure, but I imagine that all nine of those types of women are supposed to fit into one of these two boxes, with the possible exception of a third type of women, perhaps one who can't be mind-controlled through her libido, or just a woman that wants a bit of both. Perhaps nothing of this is true, but it all seems possible, no?
The video suggests that a man shouldn't simply believe what a woman says she wants, which, to me, indicates that there must either be a popular internal conflict at work or else a pandemic penchant for deception, although the latter, I think, is far less likely. This idea of an internal conflict intrigues me because of one of many potential problems it suggests might be on the horizon for all women, particularly those in relationships with dangerous men. Men who offer nothing but ease and security are free to figure out their own potential pitfalls and downfalls.
Although there are exceptions to any rule, I believe that, at some point in a person's life, almost everyone is excited by sheer excitement itself, be it in the form of roller coaster rides, games of tag, haunted houses, or, of course, as we get older, far less innocent diversions than these. However, dangerous fun such as this will inevitably take its toll on a person, particularly, if you'll excuse my sexist differentiation, on women. Herein lies one of the primary sources for the internal dilemma afflicting all those lovely danger lovers.
I believe that long term relationships with dangerous men fall apart as the average women finds herself growing into a lose-lose situation. They either become increasingly more dissatisfied with the continued dangers that their men represent, longing for the kind of stability and comfort that would naturally become more attractive with their own ever increasing maturity, OR they get their men to change into something that fits with what their heads are telling them they should want, only later to find out that they're no longer attracted to them; either way, they will probably end up searching for someone else, and another dangerous man has either been neutralized, or brought a bit closer to neutralization, by the soulful power of the feminine.
I believe that there's an inevitable contention that always arises between the dangerous power, and at least initial seductiveness, of virile and dominant masculinity, on one hand, in conflict with the reasonable desires for safety and ease that eventually puts almost all such men at odds with much of the fairer sex, if not the entirety of society itself, on the other. This is a society which women, and the many kinds of men that they can easily control, have all worked very hard to shape to their liking, particularly in the last century. Don't get me wrong, I have great respect for both of these forces, the masculine animus and the feminine anima, but I feel that one of these has become unfairly demonized and/or completely forgotten within our modern world, and I am nothing if not the devil's advocate.
Like Russell Crowe said in 3:10 to Yuma Flats, "Even bad men love their mommas," but, as they pointed out in Natural Born Killers, "Love beats the demon." It's sort of true; few things hit as hard as love, but, for reasons explained above, a truly beaten man, as well as an unbeatable one, will both soon find themselves spurned anyway. Regardless, I leave one final warning for any "dangerous man" who longs for a serious relationship with a mature and sensible woman: whether you know it not, Death is what you seek. Good luck and Namaste.

Accountants are very valuable in the business world. If you work in a small business, you will need a tax consultant or a small business consultant to ensure you do not waste money if you can save it. An accountant knows the tax laws and can ensure that you pay what you need and not what you do not have to pay. The value of a small counter cannot be overestimated.
These are essential for small business financial planning and for corporate tax compliance, for which complex rules apply. An accountant can create or destroy a business, especially if it's just starting. You have to make sure that you have an accountant who has the knowledge and can be trusted.
Every citizen must do something to fulfill his duties in his own country. This special responsibility pays taxes. In fact, tax education can be a difficult task for companies and individuals to sign up for professional accountants. Even with the help of accountants, audits will continue to go wrong. In most cases, this is considered an honest billing error. However, this may also be due to other causes such as gradients.
Favoring Clients
In fact, it is important that accountants maintain a good relationship with their customers. If your customers are not satisfied with the job, they may be fired or lose their accounts. For accountants and accounting firms, they only have a successful career if they have well-paying customers. In addition, auditing seems to be a great way for companies to build relationships with their customers. It has become a consulting service for a fee. As these accountants match their interests to customers, they tend to hurt and favor their customers.
Familiarity With The Client
Movements can also occur when an accountant or company is familiar with a company or individual. As a general rule, it would be easier for accountants to hurt unknown clients because of their knowledge. Well-known customers can be well-paid customers or people associated with them. Even if accounts are uncertain, accountants will ignore this without knowing it. Instead, he would approve a dubious report. The more the client is more familiar with the accountant, the more likely he or she is to make biased judgments.
Delaying Problems
Sometimes there are people who ignore their problems, even in accounting. Although this can not be considered a prejudice on the part of the client, it is a prejudice on the part of the accountant, because he prefers something different from doing his job and especially his vote. Sometimes they delay important accounting reports because they can have damaging consequences. To avoid these problems, simply avoid creating a report until they are needed. During this time, you can create an unfinished report.
Hiding Their Mistakes
Hiding billing errors is another biased solution. Hiding billing errors can lead to more serious problems in the future and adversely affect your customers. As a general rule, most accounting problems currently occur because accountants do not want to acknowledge their errors. They prefer to hide their mistakes and continue until someone stops them.
Accounting problems can be easily avoided if accountants are honest in their profession. Regardless of who your clients are or what their consequences are, a professional accountant can provide you with an objective report.

Contains ~
- The Chronicler: "There was a time…" ~ (Introduction by Andre Norton)
- Port of Dead Ships by Andre Norton
- Seakeep by Pauline M. Griffin
Synopsis ~
Write-up from the front flap of the 1991 dustjacket ~
For over twenty-five years, Andre Norton. "the Grande Dame of science fiction," (Life Magazine) has enchanted millions of readers with the most famous and popular of her works, the enthralling novels of magic and excitement set in the Witch World, "One of fantasy's most enduring world settings" (Library Journal). Now, culminating decades of sharpening her artistic focus, comes the greatest epic of the Witch World oeuvre. STORMS OF VICTORY is the crystallization of Ms. Norton's vision of the most pivotal time in the development of the Witch World mythos. Working closely with P.M, Griffin, one of a select group with whom she has carefully structured the entire Witch World: The Turning, Norton has brought to vivid life the Turning. This massive effort of the combined magical Power of the Witches of Estcarp foiled the invasion by Pagin of Karsten. ,.but brought chaos and destruction to every corner of the Witch World, as well as crippling most of the Witches involved, To a single sanctuary at Lormt stream the homeless and bereft to seek news of those lost to them during the cataclysmic Turnin , A young scholar, Duratan, gathers and relates the tales of hardy survivors and their heroic struggles to wrest life and justice from the ashes of a war-torn, ravaged world. Two full-length novels, Port of Dead Ships and Sea Keep, chronicle the grand sweep of the legendary time of the Turning. The former is the struggle of a young woman to harness new-found witch Power after the other witches have been stripped of their own, while she battles an ancient evil that drew to the Witch World a terrifying menace through a new, otherworldly sea gate. The latter is the rousing saga of proud Falconers and Dales nobility who are forced to ally against a scourge of pirate marauders. STORMS OF VICTORY is truly the great Witch World epic millions of readers have eagerly awaited.
Write-up from the back of the paperback edition ~
The Witches of Estcarp defeated Pagin of Karsten when they caused the Turning, a massive cataclysm that moved mountains to block the invasion. But the witches' enormous use of magic crippled their powers and brought chaos and destruction to all of Witch World.
At the Lormt sanctuary, a solitary chronicler is trying to bring people news of those lost or missing since the cataclysm. And to him come two rousing epics of heroism and triumph, one of a young Sulcar woman who awakens to her Power only to do battle with an Ancient Evil; the other a saga of a Dales Lady and the falconers who help her defend her lands from marauding pirates.
"Both are thoroughly excellent tales that will find readers among Norton's vast following." – ALA Booklist
"Nebula Grand Master Norton is back at the top of her form." – Publishers Weekly
KIRKUS REVIEW ~ Kirkus Reviews Issue: Feb. 15th, 1991
Yet another massive series of Witch World yams kicks off, this set in the chaotic aftermath of a climactic battle, the Turning, in which the (good) Witches of Estcarp defeated the invading (evil) Hounds of Alizon. A short story about the Chronicler of Lormt frames the two short novels here. Norton's "Port of Dead Ships" describes how a young girl, a passenger on a ship carrying royal refugees, becomes involved in a magical battle of wills with an evil power. Griffin's "Sea Keep" features a widowed Lady of the Dales who, to defend her home, is forced to ally with traditional hatedrival Falconers. Standard stuff. Witch World fans, go to.

If I'm Being Honest, I Feel Weary
I have been feeling incredibly weary lately. Physically, yes, I am exhausted and uncomfortable a lot of the day due to pregnancy. But my weariness extends beyond just that: I am weary because my mind is racing with all of the things that I'm not staying on top of or the things that I'm forgetting to do or the decisions I have to make but feel too tired to make. I'm essentially not living up to the standards I've set for myself, and it both frustrating and wearying. Sometimes I even feel guilty that I'm not doing the things that I want to do/think I'm supposed to do.
All of this has made me think about this book Good News for Weary Women. I read this back in September but have recently been flipping through it and re-reading the parts I had marked. The bottom line is that I have created all of these rules and standards for things that I think I should do or would like to have accomplished. I'm a perfectionist, so having high standards is in my nature. I want to have a really productive day at work, get in a good workout, make a healthy dinner, have a relaxing evening at home with my husband, have meaningful devotions, stay on top of all of the chores around the house, keep in touch with family and friends out of town, spend quality time with friends in town, be actively involved in ministry at church, go to Bible study, get to know our neighbors, blog, research new recipes and make lots of delicious food from scratch, finish decorating our house, and the list goes on and on. None of these things are bad (which is exactly why I strive and wish I could do all of them all of the time), but as the book says, "the trouble comes in when those things start to define us if we do them or guilt-trip us if we don't."
That's exactly how I've been feeling lately: like who is this girl that has clothes piled in the corner of the bedroom and forgets to send birthday cards? Who is this girl that gets exhausted from cooking all day in preparation for having people over? I can barely recognize myself because I feel so frazzled most of the time, and I feel guilty for not doing the things I think I should be doing. The physical exhaustion of this pregnancy has forced me to realize how much pressure I put on myself to do things that in all reality are not the end-all. I am allowing myself to get caught up in the here and now instead of focusing on things of eternal worth. Yes, I want to take care of my home and be a good wife and friend, etc., but at the cost of what? Feeling stressed when everything on my to-do list isn't crossed off? Feeling guilty because my house isn't spotless and we don't have fresh muffins and homemade granola for breakfast? My favorite line from this entire book is this:
"Our highest calling is to believe in and love the gospel and then to live our lives in the light of all Jesus has already done for us."
My highest calling isn't to take care of my home or do really well at work or be a great friend; it is to believe, rest, and rejoice in the work that Jesus did in His death on the cross, allowing that to transform every aspect of my life and motivate all that I do. He died in my place, taking on all of my sins and failures. I could never on my own live up to God's holy and perfect standard, but because Jesus took my place and I have placed my faith in Him, God now looks at me and all of my failures and is pleased - He is pleased! It's hard to believe since so often I am not even pleased with myself. But God in His grace sees me as His beloved child and fully accepts me through the blood of His Son. This truth of the Gospel is what I am reminding myself of daily as I feel frustrated when I don't feel like I'm doing enough. God's love for me is not dependent on how much I do or how well I think I'm doing at home or work, and that is the good news for those of us that feel weary.

Oh, Sherri, I can so relate to you! When I was in the throes of dealing with adrenal fatigue, hormone imbalance, gluten intolerance, and anxiety, I felt like I was falling so behind! Every day I felt lightheaded and would have to lay on the couch for awhile when I got home from work (in hindsight, I should have taken off work at least a few times, but I just pushed myself through it). But I wasn't letting anyone down besides myself - I had also set such high standards for what I thought I should be doing - especially even just free time activities! Every night I thought I needed to play the bass, read, blog, watch a tv show, play a game, etc. I wasn't even relaxing because the fun stuff was bogging me down. Repeating the mantra "stop the glorification of busy" was huge for me. I had to take a step back and assess what was necessary and through it I've really come to realize that nothing we do is really THAT essential. The ONLY thing Jesus wants from us is to have faith in Him and to love Him. Which is craaaaazy. The gospel is awesome :) So glad you're learning it more deeply, even though it comes at a cost. Hugs to you, friend!ReplyDelete
Excellent post, Sherri. Jesus has done everything necessary for us and He is enough. Praying that you will continue to keep your heart and mind on the Gospel as you struggle through your days, and that you will rest in Jesus. Love you!ReplyDelete

HARTING at SPS IPC Drives: Pushing Industrial Connectivity
At this year's SPS IPC Drives trade fair in Nuremberg (28 to 30 November 2017), the HARTING Technology Group will once again showcase numerous new products and solutions in the field of industrial connectivity.
Chief Executive Officer Philip Harting reported a strong 2016/17 financial year (as at 30 September). "We achieved double-digit percentage growth. We received impetus from all regions and from all markets, but especially from the mechanical engineering, automation and robotics segments," Harting stated at the SPS press reception. Further details will be provided by the Technology Group at its annual press conference on 8 December 2017 in Espelkamp.
"Our products and solutions for high-performance connectivity and IIoT are being well-received by our customers," Harting continued. To keep it that way, the technology group will use its trade show stand (Hall 10 / Stand 140) to present a wealth of new products for advanced and high-performance connectivity for the transmission of "Data, Signals and Power" from its Han® ("Rectangular Connectors"), PushPull ("Circular Connectors") and MICA ("Edge Computing") ranges. New features include e.g. the overvoltage protection module from the Han-Modular® series and its powerful, rectangular current sensors.
Han® is the industrial connector. As the inventor of the rectangular connector, HARTING is a benchmark for numerous industries. This is underscored by the technology group via its "Pushing Han®" market offensive. HARTING offers its customers a broad Han® product portfolio: the Han-Modular® is the connector foundation of Integrated Industry.
The new overvoltage protection module from the Han-Modular® series brings surge protection into the connector, making integration much easier. Installation is quick and easy. As a rule, the module is already part of the basic configuration of the connectors used.
The Han® range not only offers new products, but has also expanded its services. The innovative Han® Configurator enables customers to quickly and easily find the optimum interface for their requirements. The Configurator includes a selection of the complete portfolio of Han® connectors. This tool saves the customer time and costs incurred in connection with interface design. At the click of a mouse, the customer obtains complete documentation, including a 3D model of the configuration. The Configurator will be available in the e-Catalog of the HARTING Technology Group beginning this December.
The new overvoltage protection module from the Han-Modular®
series brings surge protection into the connector, making integration
much easier.
Use of current sensors in predictive maintenance
Current sensors are playing an increasingly important role in predictive maintenance for plants and systems. The new HARTING current sensors from the HCME series are ideally suited for this task and can, above all, be used in areas with extreme temperatures.
HARTING has recognised the importance of sensors and has responded by expanding the capabilities of the MICA Edge Computing System. Working together with Arrow Electronics, MICA Wireless Sensor Networks has now been developed to integrate wireless sensors. MICA Wireless Sensor Networks will be presented for the first time at the trade show. In addition, HARTING is presenting applications with the MICA for IIoT and Industry 4.0 in cooperation with system partners.
Together with Arrow Electronics, MICA Wireless Sensor Networks
has now been developed to integrate wireless sensors.
"One click - and the secure connection is there," says Ralf Klein, Managing Director of HARTING Electronics, explaining the benefits of PushPull connectors. In addition to well-known representatives of the PushPull connectors from variants V4 and V14, there will be new circular connectors in M12 format which feature the same functionality. These innovative circular connectors, which were originally plug-in connectors with screw locking, have been used successfully by HARTING in the transportation sector for two years as a PushPull variant. Like the V4 and V14, the M12 PushPull is plugged in within seconds. "This is the decisive advantage for our customers, and the focal point of our continuing market and development work."
PushPull V4 Industrial: The fast, secure and tool-free solution

From Denver to Valparaíso, this month's hottest hotels
Lake Como, Italy
BACKSTORY: Lake Como's sparkling waters have inspired poets from Virgil to Wordsworth. Most area hotels started as private villas, but this Art Nouveau palace was purpose-built in 1910 to offer Grand Tour visitors a suitably posh stay. The de Santis family, which has owned the hotel for more than 40 years, recently injected some whimsy in the form of chairs upholstered in pink, orange and chartreuse velvet and eight contemporary rooftop suites, which debuted in 2012.
HOT DISH: Fittingly set on a lakefront terrace, the hotel's restaurant, La Terrazza, was created in partnership with chef Gualtiero Marchesi, often called the father of modern Italian cuisine. The menu includes his signature dish, saffron risotto topped with a square of edible gold leaf, plus standouts like veal with foie gras and black truffles and roasted young rooster with spring onions and potatoes. For dessert, try Marchesi's rich mille-feuille with mascarpone mousse and local strawberries.
ROOM WITH A VIEW: Of the four historic suites inspired by "Great Women," the most regal is the two-bedroom Greta suite, named for frequent visitor Greta Garbo, who called the hotel "that happy, sunny place" in the 1932 film Grand Hotel. She would have loved the private terrace's panoramic lake views. Opened this year, the new Aurelia suite is named for a favorite aunt of the family and decorated with gold fabrics, gilt-framed art and antiques from her personal collection.
BEST PLACE TO HANG OUT: T Beach, a newly opened take on a classic lido, is a sandy lakefront stretch lined with cushioned lawn chairs where you can sip a Campari as you sunbathe. Two wooden walkways lead to Water on the Water, a swimming pool that floats in the lake and bobs in the wake of passing boats. The bar comes alive at dusk when guests and locals alike gather to watch the sun set over the picturesque town of Bellagio and the pink-tinged Grigne mountains towering behind it.

Last week, the Legislature formally adopted the new State budget for 2018-2019. While there is historic funding for a number of programs including the Environmental Protection Fund and the Farm to School program, a number of NYLCV priorities remained unfunded.
According to the group, missed opportunities included the Food Recovery & Recycling Act, Congestion Pricing, Reducing Single-Use Bag Waste, Empire Forests for the Future Initiative, and Farmland Preservation.

Amazon Big Winner of Cyber Weekend 2016
Walmart, Target and Kohl's all did quite well over this year's busiest shopping weekend but the big winner was Amazon with a whopping 30.9% of all sales. Lagging far behind were Best Buy with 7.4%, Target with 4.4% and Walmart with 4.1%. Rounding out the top ten were Macy's, Kohl's, Nordstrom, Apple, J. Crew and Home Depot.
Slice Intelligence scanned more than a million shopping receipts from Black Friday through Cyber Monday and revealed some interesting facts about how Cyber Weekend 2016 stacks up against the same period last year. Amazon's slice of the pie actually fell a bit this year from 31.1% to 30.9% while Best Buy took a healthy jump, from 6.1% to 7.4%. Target stayed about the same while Walmart fell from 5.1% in 2015 to 4.1%.
Some retailers are getting a big chunk of their sales from online shoppers. Data from ComScore shows that Amazon, eBay, Walmart, Kohl's and Target received the most visits from mobile devices and desktop computers on Cyber Monday, proving that people are doing a lot of their holiday shopping from work. It's no coincidence that all five have smartphone apps that make it easy to place orders from your phone.
Where there are winners, there are also losers and this year the declining chains Sears, Kmart and JC Penney were again left out. It didn't help that Kmart's website was a colossal mess that made it practically impossible to find the alleged sale items. These three may be beyond saving, which is especially ironic for Sears, which got its start in the mail order catalog business.
Amazon won again by delivering thousands of deals in a way that kept shoppers coming back looking for more. Giving Amazon Prime customers early access to Lightning Deals is also a smart move. Making online shopping fast and easy is why Amazon is the runaway leader in online sales with $86.78B for the last fiscal year. Second place went to Apple which lagged far behind with $15.40B and in third place Walmart with $13.78B.

Message 773 – 10 November 2018
OUR LORD: "The two Planets standing behind the White Cross are two Planets from your Solar System, which will be moved shortly, so that mankind will feel the essence of the Holy Warning, for mankind have fallen asleep, believing that it will not come. My precious holy son, mankind have fallen asleep allowing only the few who believe in the great manifestation to come. But when it comes, the world will see how foolish mankind has become, allowing human traits and ideas to fill their minds. Mankind truly believe peace has come to them, forgetting what lies ahead. Mankind go from day to day believing that all is well, in spite of the evidence which tells them otherwise. To the people of Europe: You will see war very soon, as the Third World War is about to happen, leaving Our many children unprepared and unaware of the devastation that is arriving ..."

Clutter Free Bliss!
Get rid of your clutter & enjoy the benefits of a clear mind, greater vitality, & all around happiness!
Ugh. Clutter.
Clutter is equal to stress & overwhelm, & that is definitely something you don't want to invite into your home. So when you start to notice things piling up & tearing you down, you know it's definitely time to de-clutter.
De-cluttering isn't a once & done kind of thing. It's actually something that is best when you embrace it as part of your overall healthy lifestyle.
I've learned that whenever I start feeling stuck, not moving forward in my life, it's time to take a look at what I need to let go of so I'll have a clear path (both physically & mentally) to move forward.
Maybe it's the papers that are piling up on my coffee table keeping me from truly relaxing in my living room. Or the unfinished projects on my art studio desk keeping me from fully completing something new. Or the clothes in my closet I never wear. Or the chaos of random scattered notes & to do lists of things that aren't really all that essential after all.
Whenever you start feeling stressed out & out of control, that means it's time to de-clutter.
So grab your trash bag & start tossing whatever is in your way, because if it isn't actually making your life better, it's time to let it go!
A good round of de-cluttering can leave you feeling wonderfully free! When your home is filled with only the things you love & use, something really amazing happens. Nothing is in your way! Your energy lifts, your mind becomes clear & you're ready to move forward in your life in any direction you choose!
In your clutter free home you can finally truly relax and enjoy your space, because being clutter free feels oh so very good.
And when you want to create something new (maybe a new piece of art, or that book you've always wanted to write) you are free from distractions & can totally get in the zone & create something magical!
Like everything in life, de-cluttering is so much easier when you do it bit-by-bit on a regular basis, rather than letting things pile up into a great big mountain of stressful clutter to tackle. Just a few minutes of decluttering each day can make a world of difference in your life.
I hope this inspires you to embrace de-cluttering as a part of your overall healthy lifestyle so you can enjoy the benefits of a clear mind, greater vitality, & all around happiness it brings you!
So tell me... where does clutter have a tendency to pile up in your home? What is something you can spend a few minutes de-cluttering right now in order to make your home a happier place? Tell me in the comments below, & get started creating your clutter free happy home today!

Podcast: Play in new window | Download (Duration: 21:47 — 29.9MB)
In this episode of the Asymptote Podcast we feature an interview with translator Suchitra Ramachandran. Her translation of the short story, Periyamma's Words by B. Jeyamohan, won Asymptote's 2017 Close Approximations Prize in Fiction. Ramachandran and Podcast Editor Dominick Boyle delve into the rich world of language that the two main characters of Periyamma's Words find themselves in, which is filled with symbolism that reaches epic proportions. Ramachandran says that this creates a text both incredibly challenging to translate, but also incredibly rewarding.
They also discuss her own journey of linguistic discovery, which motivated her to become a translator. Frustrated by the inadequacy of Indian literature written in English to speak to her own experience, Ramachandran turned to literature in Tamil. Now, she hopes that translation can bring it to a wider audience. She says that translations of Tamil literature, surprisingly, are helping other Indians, and even native Tamil speakers, to discover the tremendous wealth of stories available in their own backyard.

(Editor's Note: Ramachandran would like to add that it is incorrect when she says in the podcast that students of English read translations of Mulk Raj Anand—Anand was an Indian author who wrote in English.)

When you call Northeastern Fences, you will have full confidence that you are dealing with fencing professionals. Whether your fence will be located on residential or commercial property, we have the type of fence to meet your needs and the expertise to design and install it for you. Here are most common fences we offer:
- Wooden Fences

- "Pool Code" Fences
- Ornamental/Aluminum Fences
- Chain Link/Vinyl Coated Chain Link Fences
- Fence Enclosures
In addition to the fences listed above, we also offer dog runs, horse and livestock fences and gates and agricultural fencing. Vinyl, PVC and plastic no-maintenance fencing have grown in popularity over the years. The materials come in a broad range of styles and colors and are as impressive as they are durable. Northeastern is also a recognized expert in providing ornamental/aluminum fencing for residential as well as commercial property.
Everyone has their own reasons for having a fence—privacy, pets, and security are just a few. But all property owners agree, the materials used and the knowledge of the installers are critical to a successful project. That's why Northeastern Fences has such a strong customer satisfaction rating in Niskayuna and throughout eastern New York and western Massachusetts. Our knowledgeable staff includes advisors, designers and installers all of whom value our customers. We make working with Northeastern Fences an enjoyable experience.
Niskayuna Brings Down The Barriers With Niska-Day
Niska-Day was established in 1980 as a way for residents to celebrate and display their community spirit and foster a sense of well being for children in the area. This fun filled day is held each year on the second Saturday of May. The entertainers, participating businesses, volunteers and attendees come together through parades, a run, tents filled with arts and crafts, and at the popular food court. The evening brings a huge fireworks display.
The fun of Niska-Day is not to be overshadowed by the purpose of the event, which is to raise funds to assist the Niskayuna School District in providing a platform of sound mental health for its 4000+ students. In addition, when assistance is needed, the Niskayuna School District has the resources to be proactive in identifying and providing intervention as needed.
GE's Global Research Center
Since the late 1800s, General Electric (GE) has continued to grow and evolve using the inventions and ideas of Thomas Edison as its original inspiration. Today, the largest of seven state-of-the-art research and development facilities is located in Niskayuna. While GE is most recognizable for its light bulbs and electric products, the company's history of inventiveness and diversity continues today. GE was instrumental in producing the first x-ray machine in 1896, first radio broadcast in 1906 and the first TV show was broadcast in 1927. The first "invisible" glass (which was a precursor to the materials used in today's camera lenses and prescription eyeglasses) was created by a GE Scientist in 1939. Our modern health care and diagnostic abilities have advanced thanks to GE and their development of the first Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) in 1983 and VSCanTM portable ultra-sound device in 2009. GE developed the Multi OmyxTM device to help identify cancer markers in 2013.
Every year GE hosts a Science Day for fourth grade students in Niskayuna to come to their facility and explore science through hands-on events. The Niskayuna Center also offers undergraduate and graduate internships. GE instituted a new program to advance its Industrial Software division and provides education for software engineers based on the company's technical initiatives.
When not working or attending school, residents of Niskayuna enjoy the summertime evening concerts held each week at the Town Hall Gazebo. Jazz, blues, rock and bluegrass are just a few of the musical genres featured during June and July.
The Niskayuna town pool has adult, children and family swim times and offers lessons as well. The fields at River Road and Blatnick Park are the venue of many popular sports leagues. The city of Niskayuna offers a variety of camps and classes ranging from golf, to dancing to mountain biking. The driving range and dog park are also popular places to relax.
Whether you've always dreamed of the home with the white picket fence, or your purpose in adding a fence to your property is for function and security, you will never be "on the fence" about who to trust with your fence project when you call the fencing experts at Northeastern Fences.
There's plenty to see and do in Saratoga and we're happy to include it in the area we serve.

Bestival Months/
Bestival is on its way! I was going to wait until after to post but couldn't wait to mention it. This will be another great experience, shooting from a different publication perspective but (hush hush at the moment) all will be revealed as the festival kicks off.
Bestival is a wonderful festival with lots of colour, hills amazing acts and stages. I think one of my most favourite places to visit, stage wise would have to be the Port I hope to see my friends from AREA51 there this year, as they are some of the best Fire and dance acts I've seen!
We have some headline acts so far, such as Missy Elliot, Duran Duran, and The Chemical Brothers, of course more to follow and I cannot wait to see who we have showing up next!
Im heading down on Thursday afternoon with the car since its all sorted and will hopefully be seeing lots of my Photo-Family from up and down the country.
More to come as the festival starts but its safe to say, IM EXCITED!

Photograph Your Dog in His Favorite Places
Time for mental inventory-taking when choosing a spot to photograph your dog. Think about the different rooms in your house. Take a little tour, even. That may sound silly, given that you live there and all, but taking a spin around the house to figure out what makes a nice backdrop is quite helpful.
And remember that although you need a lot of light, you don't need a lot of background. You just need something that's clean enough not to distract from the dog's cute canine mug, such as a painted accent wall, colored couch fabric, or a hardwood floor. Just remember to try and complement your dog's coat as opposed to camouflaging it.
For instance, if you're photographing a white dog, opt for a darker background that he'll stand out from. If you're photographing a black dog, choose lighter background colors instead. Finding a good background to work with is all about having an eye for what shows off the dog the best!
Choose places in your home that the dog already likes to spend time in, and position him with your chosen background in mind. Use as much natural window light as possible, but don't position yourself so the windows become the background unless you want to show the dog as a silhouette.

Another project on the Go
I love starting projects-here's my latest. It is going to be a crib quilt for some African friends of mine.
These are just a few of the blocks. Most of the patterns I discovered in my box of cookie cutters. The rest I cut out from online coloring books or googled images.
I can't wait to see the whole thing put together. :) The shapes are fused and machine appliqued.

Sewing Tips
♥ Sewing tips:To find out if your fabric is really 100% cotton, burn a small piece. If the remaining edge is smooth, it's 100% cotton. If it is crinkly and melted, it contains some man-made fibers.♥

Yesterday, fellow stalker Mike, from MovieShotsLA, and I took a little stalking adventure to the studio where the original 90210 series was filmed. Mike has been there several times and he was dying to show me the studio in person. I must say that being there and seeing the studio with my own two eyes brought out the high school girl in me – standing there looking at that familiar set, I truly felt like I had stepped back in time to my teenage years. 🙂 From the street outside of the studio, you can actually see the exterior of the former Peach Pit After Dark and it is still completely recognizable all these years later. While Mike and I were standing outside freaking out over seeing the Peach Pit in person, a security guard came over to us and asked if he could help us. We told him we were HUGE fans of 90210 and he said "Oh, the new series isn't actually being filmed here." LOL We had to explain that we were fans of the OLD 90210.
After getting the OK from his boss, the security guard was nice enough to LET US ON THE PROPERTY and take us on a mini-tour of the studio!!!!! I just about DIED! Although nothing really remains from the old days of 90210, it was still very exciting for me to be there. Just thinking that I was standing in the exact spot where Shannen, Luke, Jennie and Jason reported to work everyday was enough for this stalker! I think the security guards were quite amused at our excitement over being there because they kept saying "That show was filmed soooo long ago." And yes, while 90210 went off the air almost a decade ago and while most people today could probably care less – LOL – for me the show is so embedded in my memories that it is like a piece of my childhood. So being there yesterday was like stepping back in time, returning to some familiar place, and I was just as excited to be there as I would have been if the show was still filming today. 🙂
Anyway, the security guards walked us through one of the soundstages where the sets for West Beverly High, the Peach Pit, and the Peach Pit After Dark used to be located. Right now the studio is being used for the TV show Swingtown, so those sets are currently set up on the former 90210 stages. BUT they still had some of the old lockers in the prop room left over from the 90210 days and the security guard took us to see those. They have been painted over and used for other productions, but I was still freaking out all the same. 🙂
A full-on back lot is now set up in what was formerly the parking lot for the stars of 90210. This exterior set was built for the TV series Jericho and is now being used in Swingtown. I have never seen either show, but it was still pretty fun to walk through the backlot.
The most exciting thing for both Mike and me to see was the exterior door to the Peach Pit After Dark, which is still standing at the studio today. It is currently covered up by the exterior of a church set that was used in Jericho, so you can no longer see the door from the street. But the security guards took us behind the church set to show us the door up close and personal. 🙂
I really wanted to get some screen captures of 90210 to put with today's post, but would you believe that Target was completely sold out of Season 2 of the series??? Looks like I am going to have to order the DVDs on Amazon and post the screen captures later. 😦 For those who remember the series well, the brick wall pictured in many of the above pictures was used throughout the ten year run of the series. It was used as the back of the Peach Pit in the Season 2 episode when Brenda is robbed while studying for finals at the Pit. In that episode, Brandon and Dylan go outside to take out the trash and it is that scene which features the brick wall. During the Emily Valentine Era, the brick wall was used as the both the location of the rave that the gang attends and also the location of the warehouse where Dylan takes Brandon to pick up his totaled Mustang the following morning. The brick wall was also the location of one of my favorite 90210 scenes ever – the scene when Kelly Taylor tells both Brandon and Dylan "I choose me." LOL If you keep your eyes peeled during re-runs, you will notice the brick wall popping up repeatedly in Seasons 1 through 10.
Until next time, Happy Stalking! 🙂
Stalk It: The former 90210 studios is located at 15001 Calvert Street in Van Nuys. As always, exercise caution and use common sense. I would not recommend asking for a tour of the studio unless you are with a group of people, as you can just never be too careful.

If you don't have a website and think you should skip this section, don't. When I help my clients with their Google SEO, their website design is instrumental in the success of their results. A great website will help you convert more customers!
I'm always amazed at what I find.
Ugly Sites
Yep, just plane ugly both in colors and style. If you're not a graphic designer, stay away from graphic design. I'm not an artist or designer, most of us are not, so don't try and be one. Stick with the templates that from your website hosting company. Stay away from bright flashing things, they're ugly and distracting, including the ads you might think you want on your page. Stick with a template or keep your site really simple with straight forward text, links and an easy to use menu and site map.
Website Content
Content, some may ask what's content? These are actually words on your website. Yes you need some, not just some you need a lot! Good english, grammatically correct and meaningful. Many of the sites I deal with have very little content, and some have content that has nothing to do with the page's keyword subject or the website for that matter.
Is your site selling?
Remember, you need a goal and purpose for your website. Does it do a great job of selling your product and service or is it just a bunch of $%@^? Clearly focus it on your objective to get more customers and more business… and more traffic!
Broken or bad links
Make sure you links work. If needed, install Google Webmaster Tools, this software will help identify links that are broken.
Junk Pictures
Remember this is your online brochure to sell your business! Your pictures should be of the quality your customers would expect of your work. Yes you should have some pictures, all text sites are boring (like my blog). You might not be the best subject for your pictures (ouch), I know my face doesn't grace the front page of my websites… yet. Make sure the picture file name has been changed to a description of what's in your picture. For example 123442.jpg, won't tell the search engines anything about what's in the picture. Rename your picture with it's content like this-is-a-picture-of-Rich-Close-hard-at-work.jpg. Note the "-" between the words and the search engines will have a little clue as to what this pictures about. This is actually an SEO tip you should employ on your website, more on SEO below.
To Much Flash
Flash is cool but who cares, not your customers unless you're a consultant who creates flash websites. What's even worse is if you don't let your potential surfers, get past it without watching. They're already moved on to the their next website. They take to long to load and will slow down your user. How about a great professional picture on every page instead.
Page and Site Optimization for Search Engines
Was it optimized for search engines. Was it optimized for people. Make sure the title, headings, content, links and meta tags on each page follow SEO best practices. It takes hardly any extra time when your creating a new page. If your page exists, it's quick to revise it. Remember you need a solid keyword strategy for your site and pages before you build or change the pages on your site.
Capture that lead
If your sales pitch is weak an you do nothing else but capturing your lead? You spend a lot of time and money to get people to your website. Do you have a form to easily capture their email address and name so you can keep marketing to them after they leave your website? Once there gone, they're gone forever. There are billions of pages and they won't be back to yours.
I use AWeber to place a form on my sites and capture the lead. They also have some great tools for configuring and sending auto responder and email campaigns.
Hire a professional… maybe!
If you're going to spend the time making a website, make it right or hire a professional to do it for you! Someone who knows what they're doing can get you started on a simple website in 3-4 hours. That would include pulling the domain, and signing you up for a hosting plan and creating a few pages on a new website. Assuming you supply the content. If your going to do it yourself, use one of the pre-designed templates that come with most hosting packages and populate it with great content.


text: Share: Comments Print April 1, 2013 at 4:24 PM Wireless veteran dies in New Zealand plane crash Posted by Brier Dudley Word traveled fast through the Seattle area's wireless alumni network when Eric Hertz, chief executive of New Zealand's 2degrees Mobile, died in plane crash Saturday. An aviation enthusiast, Hertz was flying a Beechcrat Baron when it crashed into Kawhia Harbour, south of Auckland, killing him and his wife, Kathy, according to local reports. They lived in Auckland but continued to own a home in Kirkland, according to King County records. Hertz was an executive at a series of local wireless companies — from AT&T to Zumobi — before he moved to New Zealand to launch the country's third wireless carrier in 2009. Called Two Degrees Mobile, or 2Degrees, the company had an unusual genesis. It began with a group of Maori who sought and won access to wireless spectrum under their federal treaty. A Maori trust then worked to build the company with international investors, including Bellevue-based Trilogy Partners, which is now the company's majority owner. When Hertz was considering a new job in 2009, Trilogy co-founder John Stanton suggested that he instead lead Two Degrees. "He had success most every place he went, but for him 2degrees in a lot of ways was defining," Stanton said. Hertz arrived in New Zealand barely a month before Two Degrees launched its service and quickly put his imprint on the company, building and international leadership team and crafting an irreverant approach to stand out and resonate with the youth market. "He just did a spectacular job," Stanton said. Two Degrees confirmed the accident in a news release posted on the company's web site. "Eric and Kathy had lived in many places, but called New Zealand home. They recently gained residency and, through flying, got to see more of New Zealand than many of us will ever see," Two Degrees director of corporate affairs, Mat Bolland, said in the release. Bolland said Kathy Hertz also provided the company with counsel on community initiatives. "We are going to miss Eric's leadership, friendship and dry sense of humour. He was our 'honorary Kiwi' and greatly respected by our 760 staff," Bolland said in the statement. Hertz earlier worked with Trilogy's founders, who were veterans of McCaw Cellular and founders of Western Wireless. Hertz was general manager of McCaw Cellular in Wisconsin the late 1980s and went on to became a regional president of AT&T and later chief operating officer of Western Wireless. Before he left for New Zealand, Hertz was chief executive of Zumobi, a Seattle mobile software and advertising company that began as a mobile browser venture called ZenZui and spun out of Microsoft. "He was a hands-on guy who roamed the hall quite often at Western — just a super nice guy," said Joel Gray, who worked with Hertz at Western Wireless. "It was a punch in the gut last night when we found out." Comments

text: WARNING!! As I was unable to find a forum dealing specifically with firearms safety, I trust that the moderators will move this thread to the appropriate section. Before that happens, I have placed it here, initially,hoping that as many shooters/hunters as possible see this? and that perhaps any repeat incidents are avoided. I want to state now that I will not be drawn in to answering PM's, e-mails or q's from this thread requesting further information regarding this incident, as I was not present at the incident and have no factual knowledge to confirm which of the multitude of potential causes of this incident were responsible. I do not want to minimize this incident for the person involved and would also not want to potentially jeopardize any legals that may/may not follow. I just don't want to see this happen to anyone else and if this post prompts users to check their firearms and prevents even one repeat episode we will all be better off. I also wish to state that I am not driving any particular equipment design, or brand, agenda here other than highlighting a POTENTIAL SAFETY HAZARD, and what may be a potentially disastrous situation for the unwary. Today I witnessed the results of a bolt coming straight back through the face of the shooter behind it. The results being quite devastating, (and I would suggest coming close to being fatal). I urge all of you operating ANY (of which there are several)straight-pull bolt-gun systems, take-down rifles and rifles with interchangeable barrels REGARDLESS OF BRAND OR MODEL to check your RIFLE ORHAVE IT CHECKED THOROUGHLY BY A COMPETENT GUNSMITH FOR ANY POTENTIAL FLAWS AND HAVE IT CHECKED (SAFELY) FOR A POTENTIAL TO FIRE WHEN NOT FULLY CLOSED,REGARDLESS OF CLAIMS MADE BY THE MANUFACTURER OF THAT PARTICULAR FIREARM. I appreciate that the occurrence of this type of incident may not be limited to the particular designs of firearms I have highlighted in this post and/or a result of the firearm itself, therefore it may be a timely reminder to all of us to ensure our firearms are in good, safe working order and that we hand-load responsibly and safely. Thank-you all for your patience and, I hope, your compliance to my request that we all enjoy our sport as safely as possible.

The other day, I tried to start the car but it wouldn't start for a while. Then, the engine started running briefly and I moved the car a bit. However, the engine shut off very soon afterwards. I wasn't able to restart the car ever since. What might be causing this?
Hello. It sounds like you may have a problem with the fuel pump or other components of the fuel system. It is also possible that there is a problem with the battery or other components of the electrical system. A weak battery and/or an alternator that is not charging properly may also be the culprit. Have a certified technician, like one from YourMechanic, complete an inspection of the electrical system and fuel system and make a recommendation for the necessary repair.
