Watch My Domains SED v4
is getting another update has been updated to include a new monitoring module. Other additions include additional themes, ability to update the application using the command-line tool even when installed into non-standard folders, etc.
Here are some screen-shots of the new module.
The new monitoring module makes it very easy to manage domain portfolios that are not extremely huge. You can use it to quickly view snapshot views of your domains without having to scroll through large spreadsheet like domain lists. The monitoring module can be used to track both domain expiry dates and SSL certificates.

Today in the Postal Service
3 comments:
The message has to be targeted to why do we want the public to know these stats. Yes, we are busy. Yes, we do a great job for being so busy. But what's the point for the public?
The current ad campaign has a point: use Flat Rate boxes to save money and make shipping easier. Al, tells the customer what's in it for them.
Got to tell the public what's in it for them. Maybe, the Postal Service (in spite of being so busy) provides more security for less cost.

Some people, myself included, have a hard time interpreting statistics and retaining numerical information like this, so they don't pay it much attention. I agree that we have to emphasize our importance to each person individually in order for it to be meaningful and get our message across. Why do we matter to them?

They really don't care They just want their mail delivered in a timely and cost effective manner. If losing saturday delivery means keeping the cost down then so be it. People don't want to hear about the millions/billions of what ever you figure they need to know. They just want efficient/afforable mail service. Plain and simple. a

De La Soul
- Mark Edmundson
- 28 May 2009
De La Soul got stung. For much of the two decades since the release of seminal hip hopera 3 Feet High And Rising, Plugs One, Two and Three have been at pains to put a significant margin between themselves and the care-free, cartoon mishmash of crunchy beats, unlikely samples and in-jokes that made their trio a household name and primary target for hip hop's first wave of sampling lawsuits. At last they are making a return to their teenage opus, so fun-packed with enduring party favourites as to have been the alternative soundtrack to the UK's second summer of love, and treating it to the attentions of a full live band.
It is unclear whether this world tour is recounting 3 Feet … in its entirety from 'Intro' to 'Potholes …' as has become de rigueur. Although they have turned out glimpses of unfettered greatness across the years that followed the debut still stands alone in sound, stance and influence. Indeed the sprawling album (and excitable liner notes) stands well the test of time.
Above all, De La shows have garnered a reputation for proving lazy and anticlimactic, thus the prospect of hearing but a snapshot of the glory days recreated with full live band the Rhythm Roots Allstars punching out the hooks is thrilling to say the least, with talk of 'rehearsals' offering further assurance to those who have stood impatiently through lack lustre performances in the past. Suddenly what was passable becomes imperative.

Monday on the Daly Dose, we are recapping what we learned from the weekend in sports!
The NFL Combine is producing some early winners, should these players be moving up the draft boards? One college player didn't even get an invite to Indianapolis this week, and we think we know why. An NFL team just might have themselves a new quarterback, but it might not fix all of their problems.
Plus, a bad NBA game produces records, the Los Angeles Lakers stumble yet again, and we discuss some very scary moments in college basketball!

Great White Shark Measuring 16.5ft Caught Lurking Off Coast Of Majorca
A great white shark was spotted off the coast of Majorca yesterday morning (June 28).
The holiday hotspot is a popular destination for British tourists who want to experience British culture in another country. Majorca is basically Britain in the Mediterranean – feel free to interpret this comparison in whatever way you see fit.
However, it looks like they've got a new guest invading on their turf, and it comes in the form of a great white shark and it has been dubbed a 'historic sighting' on social media.
Avistamiento histórico de TIBURÓN BLANCO EN AGUAS BALEARES (28 junio 2018): COMUNICADO DE PRENSA…
Posted by Fernando López Mirones on Thursday, 28 June 2018
The 16.5-foot shark was spotted by biologist Ricardo Sagarminaga Van Buiten and biologist Fernando López-peepers, who were on an expedition.
López-peepers recorded the encounter and in a Facebook post he wrote:
The presence of large white sharks in Spanish waters was a constant rumor, as well as historical evidence ratified by photographs and toponymy across the Costa, levantina and Catalan Coast.
For many years, however, it had not been possible to document how this morning was done on board the töftevaag. [sic]
His post claimed that the great white shark was spotted off 8 miles from Cabrera Island, for 70 minutes the 5 metre shark swam through waters 'close to the national park of Cabrera Archipelago in the Balearic Islands (Spain)'.
Lopez-peepers post continued:
In recent years there were possible unconfirmed sightings and various rumours, but this is the first scientific observation of the presence of the white shark in Spanish waters for at least 30 years.
On this occasion, this historic sighting has been photographed, filmed and contemplated by a crew of 10 people from five countries.
While the rare sight is remarkable it does raise a few concerns as great whites are the apex predators of the ocean. They are notable for their size with larger female individuals growing to about 6.1 metres in length.
A study dating back to 2014 found that their lifespan is an estimated 70 years, thus making it one of the longest-lived cartilaginous fish currently known to marine biologists.
In 2008 Professor Stephen Wroe, from the University of New England, Australia, led a team of scientists as they carried out an experiment to determine the great white shark's bite pressure.
Wroe calculated a great white weighing in at 423kg has an anterior bite force of 2341 Newtons, while its posterior bite measures 4577 Newtons. To put these figures into perspective, modern great whites are believed to grow up to 600 – 1,100 KG when they reach adulthood.
Great white sharks are known to prey upon a range of other marine animals, including fish and seabirds.
As mentioned previously, like fellow Balearic Islands (Menorca, Ibiza and Formentera), Majorca is a choice holiday destination, particularly for tourists from Germany and the United Kingdom.
Since the 1950s, tourism has been Majorca's main source of revenue for the island. It has provided significant growth to their economy, particularly after a tourist boom in 2001 when tourist footfall increased by the millions.
In 2010 over 6 million visitors came to Majorca. In 2013, it was visited by nearly 9.5 million tourists, and the Balearic Islands as a whole reached 13 million tourists.
Maybe great white sharks have been spotted around the Island, attracted by the all-inclusive buffets wading into waters off the island's coast…

Doctors and other NHS staff are among the most intelligent and qualified people in the country. They are also human beings and they make mistakes, because to err is human. That being so, it is surely sensible to accept fallibility and minimise its consequences. Jeremy Hunt's attempt to change the culture of the NHS on clinical errors is therefore to be welcomed. There are, as the Health Secretary says, still too many serious avoidable errors in our hospitals.
It is perhaps natural to feel that those who make such mistakes should be punished or otherwise feel the consequences of their actions. But a culture of blame can be counterproductive, encouraging staff to conceal problems and failings instead of addressing them. The traditions of the medical profession do not always help either: some practitioners still subscribe to the "doctor knows best" model of medical omniscience and hesitate before admitting frailty or error. They should realise that acknowledging and addressing mistakes is a sign of confidence, not weakness.
Rules that encourage such honest self-criticism are sensible. It is right that staff who own up to mistakes are rewarded for their honesty, since that is the only way that they and others can learn from those errors and reduce the chance of repetition. Likewise, concealment must be penalised.
Sadly, Mr Hunt's laudable efforts may not have received the attention they deserved because even as he announced his plans, junior doctors were on strike over their new contract of employment. The British Medical Association conveniently called the action to coincide with the minister's "patient safety summit".
According to that disingenuous trade union, doctors are striking over patient safety, though the detail of the contract dispute shows the BMA's final objection was about money; if Mr Hunt had offered to pay doctors more for working on Saturdays, the BMA would presumably have accepted the new contract. This fact appears to have eluded some of the doctors on strike yesterday, many of whom earnestly believe they walked out to protect patients and not their own interest. That is perhaps more proof that even doctors, for all their intelligence and education, can get things wrong. The best course now would be to admit that strikes are a mistake and resume a sensible dialogue with Mr Hunt, where both sides can admit their errors and resolve their unfortunate and disruptive dispute together in good faith.

Dibea C17 or Dibea F6, Which is Better?
Most people all around the globe understand that cleanliness is next to godliness and they're probably right. Anyway, to why we're here. The two products we are about to review are helping to positively change the vacuum cleaning sector. These two products are the Dibea C17 and Dibea F6 vacuum cleaners. These items are the new age smart vacuum cleaner.
DIBEA C17 vs DIBEA F6
General features and technical data show that the Dibea C17 is a slightly better alternative than the Dibea F6. Why? For starters, the Dibea C17, unlike the Dibea F6, has two levels of adjustable absorbency where one runs with about 7000 pa while the other runs at 4000 pa. The Dibea F6 has only one level absorbency which has a maximum suction power of about 5200 pa.
The visual appearance of the Dibea C17 models look similar to that of the Dyson models, however, it leaves a little room for maneuver. The C17 weighs in at around 3.2 kilograms and is considerably heavier than the C6 which weighs in at about 2.1 kilograms. Also, with the Dibea C17 smart vacuum cleaner, you can expect higher quality processing compared to its plastic built F6 counterpart.
The Dibea C17 has a wall mount feature included to it which allows you to place the teat at different points without having to worry about it tipping over. But, the additional handle found on the intake manifold of the Dibea F6 cleaner is not there in the C17 model. The C17 offers you the chance of using the hand-held vacuum cleaner as a cordless vacuum cleaner. All you'll be required to do is to be removing the suction cube and changing the attachments whenever you want to make the change. The vacuum cleaner is ready for use by simply attaching the brushes and nozzles to its suction pipe.
The Dibea C17 cleaner is a versatile two in one handheld vacuum with a cleaning head that has swivel capabilities and can almost fold flat in order for it to effectively clean under furniture and the like. However, the F6 model also has two in one versatility with a pivoting cleaning head. The bristles found on it are soft so as to prevent it from scratching hardwood.
All in all, both these products are excellent smart vacuum cleaners and are ideal for those of you that want portable, easy to use cleaners. However, C17 edges out the F6 at being the better Dibea vacuum cleaner. It's simply much better than its F6 plastic counterpart. Go on, get yours today.

Michael Shannon To Make Henry Cavill Kneel As Zod In 'Superman'
Even though recent reports stated that Metallo and Lois Lane's militant father would be the villains in Warner Bros. anticipated Superman reboot, it's now official: General Zod will make his triumphant return to theaters in December 2012 as Michael Shannon has been cast as the fan favorite character today. He takes over the role from Terence Stamp, who played the Kryptonian baddie in the 1978 original and its 1981 sequel, and joins Henry Cavill, Amy Adams, Kevin Costner and Diane Lane in the new production, which is set to begin this summer.
Zack Snyder is directing Superman: The Man of Steel for the studio while Christopher Nolan acts as producer/creative godfather to the new franchise, joined by his partner/wife Emma Thomas, Charles Roven (who worked with Nolan on his billion dollar Batman franchise) and Snyder's wife/partner Deborah. Thomas Tull and Lloyd Phillips of Legendary Pictures will executive produce. David S. Goyer wrote the screenplay based on his and Nolan's story.
The plan is to shoot this summer, though there's still more casting to get done. We need to know who will play second-tier characters like Jimmy Olsen and Perry White from The Daily Planet as well as who will appear as Ursa and Non, Zod's right-hand man and left-hand woman (both gave the Last Son of Krypton one hell of a battle in Superman II). While those characters may or may not be in the script, one thing is for sure: Snyder and co. have hired perhaps the perfect actor to play Zod. Shannon has a tremendous presence on screen, as anyone who's seen his work in Revolutionary Road, Boardwalk Empire or Take Shelter (his most recent film credit which Sony Pictures Classics will release sometime this year) can attest to. He should prove to be a formidable foe for The Man of Steel as well as a great on-set collaborator for Cavill.

Worst "Date" of My Life
So Sad, Really...
To tell you the story of my "Worst Date Ever," I must first tell you about how the date came to be and where I was in my life at the time.
Back in 2005, I began working for a big chain grocery store that had small prices (I am sure you know the one if you think hard enough). Anyway, I was a cashier/floor stock person. I was super busy on a daily basis and met a lot of new people. I was in my early thirties, and newly single due to a divorce. The divorce hit me hard, and I was very untrusting of men in general after all that I went through in a very bad marriage. I felt vulnerable and just wanted a new life so bad. I quickly made plenty of new friends and got to know my regular customers on a personal level. Each really good and kind customer quickly started to earn a place in my heart. Therefore healing some of my wounds. My trust in others increased. As it did, I began to notice some "looks" from men that shopped where I worked. Not to brag, but I was getting a lot of attention from guys while I worked! One customer, in particular, was talking to me constantly. Let us call him "John" for privacy. So John had known me since before my divorce from my son's dad. He had flirted me up for no less than two years before I was single. Always telling me how pretty I was, and how my husband was a very lucky man. Shortly after I became single, John was in the store practically on a daily basis looking for me and talking to me. He would find any excuse he could to go shopping. One day buying bread, and the next a carton of eggs. It started to be that he would just show up for no reason at all, just stand to the side and talk to me while I worked, sometimes helping me to stock higher shelves that my five-foot-two-inch frame could not stretch too. As we got to know each other, John asked all the right questions and provided all the right answers to anything I asked. I felt as if I have found a man I could trust. It seemed too good to be true and unfortunately that is the way it became very soon. At first, I was not willing to go on a date with him no matter how much he asked me. I kept thinking how a date with John could get me in trouble as it was against company rules. So before agreeing to a date night with John, I went on several dates with other men. Some younger, some a little older. All in the effort to find someone who was right for me. The other dates went very smoothly and proved to me that I might be able to trust a man again. Dinners, movies, and even a boat ride in the summer on the lake. I was thriving and getting my confidence back as the days passed by. John and I talked more and more about going on a date.
Pretty soon I decided, "Why not! What do I have too lose?" So I agreed to John's question about going out on a Friday night if I had the day off or day shift scheduled. When I agreed, he looked happy. That, I remember most of all. As the Friday night approached, I was getting excited. When the Friday night finally arrived, I was starting to feel leery about my decision. John was not answering his phone, and he had told me to call him after I was home from work. I called, no answer, so I took a hot shower and began getting ready. After I was freshened up I tried to call John again. Also no answer. I opted to send a text to see why he was ignoring me. John said he was busy at work and sorry. I took it and hoped he would call when he was ready. You see, we had decided to meet up for our date since we lived over thirty minutes away from one another. I waited and waited. 6:00 PM came and went. Then 7:00 PM, 8:00 PM, and 9:00 PM. Finally, he called at 9:45 PM and I asked if he wanted to reschedule since I was getting so late. I figured he had been working all this time. John said, "Please still meet me, I still want a date with you." I thought he sounded sincere so I went. I drove for forty minutes in order to get to our meeting spot, in a bar parking lot!
That is right gentle readers, a parking lot outside a bar. John had been inside a bar for over three hours getting completely plastered. When he came outside the bar and saw me John was already pretty drunk. What provoked me to agree to "ride" in his truck I will never to this day know. We literally drove around the back side of the bar! That is when I started getting really uncomfortable. I asked John where we were going on our date. He did not acknowledge my question, just asked if he could kiss me. I told him I rather go to a late night restaurant and have a real date. Basically giving him the opportunity to change his original decision. That did not happen. John leaned in and just kissed me. After that kiss, it did not take him long to take things way too far! He started touching me. Grabbing my breasts and thighs. I quickly asked him to stop his advancements. John just kept going. I yelled that this is no date, just his excuse to grope me!
That did not bother him one bit, he unzipped his jeans and grabbed my hand. John was directing my hand to his crotch as I attempted to pull away. He was way stronger than me. There was no pulling away. Next, he roughly jammed his hand down the front of my jeans. (I think the rest of what he did is obvious.)
After John was finished basically raping me, he smiled so bright and said what a wonderful first date it was. That we should do it again soon.
Uummmm, no!!!! Worst so-called date ever!

The reckless TRAITOR Barak Obama has been drunk on power supposedly from a landslide election victory which granted him a political mandate to "restore" America. But what do the elections results really say? Obama won the popular election, but does that really mean most American's support him?
According to The United States Election Project the voting-age population for the United States was 230,917,360 in November 2008. CNN reported that 69,492,376 people voted for Obama. As you can see, the Usurper's supposed landslide was actually only 30.09%, hardly a demand by Americans to destroy the Republic and erect the United Socialist States of America.
As free people we have a duty to resist tyranny; it is time for the 70% to rise up and remove Obama and his communist cronies from office. The first critical step in this process is a massive anti-incumbent turnout in the 2010 midterm election. We must demonstrate our disappointment with the status quo by removing all incumbents from office.

A Checklist by Davzo.com
Instagram is currently dominating the web. It's next to impossible to find another app that is anywhere near as influential as Instagram. Developers have dabbled with similar photo-sharing apps, but none of them even come close to what Instagram is and what it offers its users. Instagram used Twitter to help it launch, and this was a smart move as it took off seemingly overnight. This caused users to experience outages because the creators had a difficult time keeping the app from crashing. Instagram currently accounts for more than 400 million users, and isn't going to slow down anytime soon either.
Need to find the closest and best restaurant while you're travelling? Not familiar with your location or surroundings? Then Google Map it! Find links to review sites and also find top-rated recommendations for attractions and businesses in your area. Use the talking GPS on your iOS device and get to where you're going with ease. It's one of the most popular mapping apps out there. It also uses Google Earth images for real satellite views of the address you're trying to look at or find.
This has become one of the most addictive apps on the web, and once it became available as iOS app, people have had a hard time staying off of Facebook. You can keep up with your friends, share your own updates, images, and videos, receive notifications of your friends, play games, and text and chat. It is one of the most versatile apps and has a little something for everyone. Facebook updates their app regularly for security and compatibility. When iOS users upload photos and videos to their page, viewers can see whether or not it was shared via iOS or a windows phone.
Twitter has become one of the most popular social platforms because it allows users to send or "tweet" brief direct messages to their audience. It's so simple to use and to get new followers too. Messages can be retweeted, favorited, or quoted. It's also a wonderful platform for sharing images and videos and has become a popular place for business owners and entrepreneurs to connect. The iOS app changed the face of this app and is loved by most iOS users.
Although this app is going on 7 years old, there's still something fun and inspiring about slinging a variety of our feathered friends to "pop" pigs while maneuvering through different obstacle courses. The simplicity of this game changed the way mobile developers think about games for years. The game comes in many different themes, including Star Wars, Transformers, and different seasons and holidays, and can be found on most iOS devices even to this very day.
These apps can be hard to beat, but there are literally hundreds of other amazing iOS apps that work well with these top 5, or are similar in nature. If you're trying to create a unique and awesome iOS app for your business, then drop by www.davzo.com for more information.

The New Horizons team just snagged a picture of the most distant object we have ever visited.
This new object is named 486958 Arrokoth (wiki). It's a small contact binary, meaning it is the beginnings of a new planet. However, things move slow way out there in the Kuiper belt. But, we now have the theory about how these early planetoids form, more or less particle by particle. Gravity works even on the scale of grains of sand. Neat, eh? The interesting thought about the Kuiper belt is the concentration of materials valuable to deep space explorers. Lots of methane, ammonia, water and possible heavy elements. Enjoy the links, as always, worth the educational value.

Petrofac announced awards and contract extensions with a combined value of more than $120mn for its unit Engineering & Production Services (EPS), as part of its plan to diversify into new markets and geographies.
EPS has secured its first small-scale engineering, procurement, construction (EPC) contract in Malaysia. In consortium with partner Serba Dinamik, EPS was awarded a contract by Asean Bintulu Fertiliser (ABF) Sdn Bhd, one of Malaysia's largest fertiliser plants, for its Third Boiler Project. The ABF plant located in the central region of Sarawak, which started commercial production in 1985, is a subsidiary of PETRONAS Chemicals Group Berhad. The work scope for the 30-month project includes basic and detailed engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning of an additional package boiler (165 tonnes per hour) to improve overall plant reliability and availability and meet total steam demands of 510 tph.
It also secured a three-year engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning (EPCC) framework agreement with a North Sea operator. Future projects undertaken through the framework agreement will be supported by Petrofac's Aberdeen office, where the company is actively growing its engineering team and investing in its brownfield management system in support of its digitalisation strategy.
The new brownfield projects awards coincide with key North Sea contract extensions for EPS, including a two-year renewal of an existing seven-asset Operations and Maintenance contract, and the extension of EPS' existing Engineering Services contract with Chevron North Sea to June 2020.
John Pearson, chief operating officer of Engineering and Production Services, said: "Continued diversification into new markets, such as brownfield projects, and new geographies, such as Malaysia, are key tenets of our growth strategy. We're also once again delighted that clients in the North Sea have exercised the option to extend our support for important Operations and Maintenance and Engineering Services contracts."

Dilly Drought Drive steps in to help Riding for the Disabled
Farmers aren't the only people struggling through winter drought conditions.
Tahmoor's Riding for the Disabled Association (RDA) is struggling to fund the amount of hay and pellets needed to care for their horses.
Last year, the Dilly Drought Drive stepped in to help and they decided it was time to help the organisation again.
Dilly Drought Drive organiser Sharon Robertson said they donated $5000 to hopefully get the organisation through the rest of the year.
"Last year, the RDA was considering whether to stay open or close so when they need help again we had to step in," she said.
"They do wonderful work for the community.
"The horses are housed at properties owned by volunteers who are doing what they can but they need some extra help."
Ms Robertson said keeping this association in Wollondilly was important.
"They do more than just help disabled people to ride horses," she said.
"The RDA has ex-service men and women come up from the barracks to do some rehabilitation through working with the horses and helping disabled people.
"They do a lot of good for the community and these horses are one in a million - if they lost them it would be hard to find calm and stable horses like that again."
Ms Robertson said ongoing drought conditions were still a huge issue across the shire.
"We have still got 21 farmers needing our assistance and we are still donating 100,000 litres of water a week," she said.
"The rain we have had hasn't been enough to help and paddocks are filled with weeds because they are more resilient than grass.
"Experts are saying that dry weather is set to continue and the bushfire season is going to start early.
"So we need to focus on water supplies and making sure that our community groups like RDA can see this through."
The Dilly Drought Drive's bank account details recently changed.
The new account details are: Dilly Drought Drive Rural Aid, BSB: 114 879, account number: 415 417 799.

There's been a lot of talk, maybe too much talk, about Charlton Heston. The Right is praising him as the greatest living actor since St. Reagan while the Left is spewing about his turn as mouthpiece for the gun industry. But I say have some respect for the dead this week – let it be, no matter how deserving. And remember that he was one of the few Hollywood icons to appear consistently in genre movies: Omega Man, Soylent Green, Planet of the Apes.
And then there's his turn as Cardinal Richelieu in one of my favorite films of all time: Richard Lester's The Three Musketeers/The Four Musketeers. Heston, Christopher Lee, and Faye Dunaway were the perfect villains; evil yet not over the top. The rest of the cast was just as sublime, especially Oliver Reed, Richard Chamberlain, and Michael York. Even Raquel Welch didn't suck. Lester was note-perfect on balancing humor, swashbuckling, and steadily getting darker as the saga unfolded. George MacDonald Fraser (of Flashman fame) delivered a nuanced script that stripped all the dross from the Dumas novel and kept its timeless spirit. This is the very definition of a rollicking film(s). And as proof check the clip above, the opening sword fight with the Cardinal's guards.

I had my cataract surgery done on one eye this morning, in Downtown Pittsburgh. You may be wondering why I finally caved in to Western Med on this. I did so after being discriminated against on the job in January and realizing it would only get worse so long as I was perceived as "blind." I can't imagine what people who are truly blind go through as the butt-end of such horrible discrimination. I realized I didn't want to be treated so badly anymore and I did have a choice. I also realized that not seeing was impeding my transportation options. I want to be able to ride a bike! I think I'll be able to very soon, and will be able to resume running outdoors also.
I am delighted that the computer screen is so crystal clear if I view it with my brand new eye. I am not using any eyeglasses with that eye. I had them pop the lens out of my glasses, so I am using glasses on my old eye only. My new eye can see without any glasses at all. I am not sure how well. I suspect that I am seeing far better than predicted! I was told my vision would be corrected by roughly 10 diopters, meaning that I'd still need glasses, but everything is so darned clear that I think I will not need them except for maybe very far away. I am amazed that I can read small print on the computer screen. Close up (cellular phone) is not so easy right now, nor can I see my watch, so I am using my old eye for that. I am amazed at how clearly I see. I am wearing sunglasses so my eyes won't hurt too much.
When I first got home, my nose was running very badly. It ran so much I thought it would run away completely! Then, my eye ran, too. I called the eye doc office and they said this is totally normal. Then, both stopped running, just in time for Security to round them up haul them back to the locked ward and stop their nonsense. No worries, they're now under heavy security, secured in their places on my head, and will not escape again. I never realized body parts could be an escape risk. What next?
All kidding aside, they do give you drugs during this procedure. I didn't notice any "effect" from the drugs. Nor any "high" nor anything whatsoever. No dizziness nor did I actually feel "out of it" nor "drunk" as they claimed I would. I did not say a word of course. I don't know what "drunk" really feels like, not the "pleasant drunk" really, only the unpleasant type of fuzzy-headed that I truly dislike. I know that I didn't have any reaction to their drugs because of my long history of having taken antipsychotics, but I don't have to tell them that! They definitely numbed my eye very very well with numbing drops, many! They wondered why such a tiny person would "need" so much of their sedation drugs, or perhaps "tolerate," but I said nothing, just let them give me their drugs and let them do the surgery, which was the important part, after all. I joked about Puzzle mostly during the prep and while they were inserting the IV, told them she was "ferocious" if she didn't get fed. Which is true, is it not? When in doubt, joke about your dog, they love that……..
All in all, it went fine. How was your day?

Billie is a non-fiction memoir written by Billie King. The author had to grow up quickly when she was a child. By the age of 10, she was all too aware of the abusive and hostile relationship between her father and mother. Her father was always kind and loving to her and her sister, Nia, but the quarrels he had with her mother always led to violence. The parents would always make sure to get their children safely out of sight within their bedrooms before anything happened, but Billie would worry and feel the need to make sure her mother was going to survive the next battle. Sometimes, her mother would get fed up and take her two daughters to stay with their grandmother in the house on Anzac. It was a wonderful place that felt like country with fruit trees in the backyard and horses nearby. Each time they sought refuge there, Billie would hope that it would be for good and that her father would stay away, but they would always pack up their bags once again and go back to him.
Billie King's non-fiction memoir, Billie, is a ferociously honest and incredibly moving story that gripped me from the very first pages. I found myself staying up later and later as I became reluctant to interrupt her narrative. Billie is beautifully written in a style that makes the reader feel as though he were in the room with the author as she related her life story. While she shares so much of her mother's and sister's trials, and her own disillusionment with the men who eventually betrayed and disappointed her, her story never descends into self-pity or moroseness. She remains steadfast throughout, remaining resilient, resourceful and ready to face whatever comes her way. I was particularly moved by her stories about her Uncle Tee, who helped her and Nia with money for food when there was nothing in the kitchen, who became someone she came to care for deeply and who was redeemed by his increasingly unselfish love for her. While King's been writing lyrics and rap all her life, this breathtakingly accomplished memoir is all the more impressive for being her debut literary effort. Billie is most highly recommended.

Our hearts are very wounded places. In Chinese Medicine, the heart is thought of as the emperor (at a time when Confucian militaristic themes were being translated into the medicine). All other organs and energy of the body are intended to protect the heart physically, energetically and spiritually.
This is especially true of the Liver, which is known as the "general" or "leader of the troops", as well as the Pericardium, which is the physical and energetic protector of the heart. But really all areas of the body are intended to keep the heart space and the heart itself as calm, peaceful, and loving… like a gently moving stream of water rippled with sunlight.
Most of our hearts are not like that peaceful stream. We have either exhausted our "army"– the general/Liver and all of the other organs intended to protect the heart or store emotions (like the intestines and pelvic cavity), or we have endured deep or sudden traumas that have caused our hearts to break or not be whole.
Most of us are in a state of overwhelm in terms of emotions and experiences we have yet to process. When we are unable to process the emotions or circumstances of our lives they enter our physical body to be stored for later processing. This creates pockets of unprocessed energy and emotions in our bodies. Unfortunately, what happens is that many of us do not go back to release these emotions (or do not know that we can) and so our bodies become stockpiles of unprocessed rage, grief, fear, and difficult experiences. This causes us fatigue, because our bodies are having to exert energy to keep these emotions and experiences sectioned off… and to attempt to keep our bodies as a whole functioning without the blocked off part(s).
Additionally, we most likely (as in all of us do) have experiences, traumas, and emotions that were handed down to us that are creating issues without us realizing it. Our family patterns, ancestors, past lives, and even societal and world emotions are somewhere in our system, creating issues. Many of us (especially those of you reading my blogs) are also sensitive, meaning that you pick up on the emotions and traumas of others. Many of you may not fully understand this, or what it does to your very real physical system (this could be a whole new blog, but typically receiving stimulus from outside sources that we cannot process starts to pile up in the digestive system, the stomach, liver, intestines, then the head, then the pelvis/genitals/legs, then effects the heart for sensitives). Being sensitive has real and physical consequences, and any sensitive should learn how to properly process energy that is not theirs… but I digress.
Our hearts are a sensitive and often wounded place. We often will harden our pericardiums, or create all sorts of energetic structures surrounding our heart in an attempt to not show the world that we are wounded… or that we deeply feel. This world prides itself on being a thinking, logical place (believe it or not) so feelings, sensing, and emotions are relegated to be something abnormal, something that should take place in solitude or in the privacy of a therapists office.
If we are able to open our hearts in the spiritual awakening process something wonderful happens. We are no longer in that state of brutal negativity the rest of the world is in (just look at any comment thread online for this to see how miserable people really are), we no longer need to gossip or concern ourselves with others. We look at the world and begin to see what is right with it, and the inner divine spark or inner light of people. This is quite a switch from seeing the pain, the stupidity, the anger, betrayal, and so forth that are happening consistently in this world.
As many of you may know, I am a realist, and the experience of seeing this inner light does not mean that we do not also realize that the person is wounded, or doesn't know what they are talking about, or is filled with hatred, self-disgust, misguided anger, and so forth. It is just a switch in identification… from first focusing on that stupidity, or that anger, animosity, violence, lack of awareness, and so forth… to seeing who and what they are beyond those layers of sleep and chaos. If you are able to see this inner light first, the chaos that surrounds every person like a wind tunnel can be looked at from the eye of the storm– a place of neutrality, compassion, and recognition of what they are struggling with.
The Deep Heart
If we are able to get to a point of clearing our own heart of wounding we come to a place known as the deep heart. In Kundalini awakenings, the access to this point happens after energy has fully reached through the tops of our heads (as a solid stream, not a burst of violent energy) and energy starts coming back down again and into our heart space.
This is a space deep within the heart, and also to the right of the heart. There are nodules (not in a physical way, it is the best way to describe them) that are lit up within our deep hearts like a constellation of energy. Experiencing these allows for us to experience deep self-love, forgiveness, and to clear our remaining emotional heart patterns. It also allows for us to finally lift that veil of separation. This means that we can see the entire world and all of the people within it inside of us (and yes, they are also not a part of us as well, such is the paradox of awakening past a certain point). It allows for us to expand in love– not the cheesy, illogical love perpetuated by self-help books– but a calm and flowing love that will flow from us and out of us.
This love expands and unfolds from us until we are filled with love. We are also at this point willing to feel love. Not the human, frail type of love, but love from source/God/the Universe itself. We are willing to be held… to let go of our individual identifications with suffering, with pain, with the sort of rugged individualism that creates isolation and separation… but to realize and experience that we are held by something much greater than ourselves.
If we do not close ourselves off to it (receiving this love is frightening, since it is an experience of us giving a minuscule drop of love to be greeted by love ten thousand times that in return) we consistently open our deep hearts, and our entire beings, in this love.
Many of us do not experience this type of love because we simply would not allow for it. We are so used to suffering, to rugged individualism, to competitive "me first" type of behavior (yes, even in spirituality), to isolation, that the idea that we could be held and loved to this extent is not something we would even allow. We hunger for this type of love… the love of the divine mother, of divinity itself beyond labels.
There is a space within yourself beyond the chaos, beyond the hurricane of trauma and emotions and experiences… beyond the rugged individualism and the isolation and the fear… beyond the brutal negativity that is perpetuated in this world as a pericardium type mask to the devastation most of us have locked within our bodies from prior experiences of this world.
We all have these nodes, this place of the deep heart. For most of us it is latent, meaning that no energy flows through it, no energy is lighting it up. But even realizing that we have this place within ourselves is the first step. We can move beyond our pain and our chaos. We can see the inner light before the outer chaos in others, or in the world. Simply recognizing that we have the capacity for that inner light, or trying to see that inner light in others, will do an immense amount of good for as an individual, and the world as a whole.
For more on spiritual awakening, I suggest my book The Spiritual Awakening Guide (for an overview of the path and many different types of awakenings) or Working with Kundalini (which focuses specifically on kundalini awakenings).

Call us on 0333 305 9375 for immediate help & assistance with your situation. We're here to help you in person, via the phone or online.

Frequently Asked Questions
Before applying for a Tier 2 Licence, you will need to ensure that the duties outlined by the Home Office are carried out.
These include:
- Outlining the roles you will be advertising for;
- undertaking the Resident Labour Market Test;
- preparing your business to pass the 'genuine business test' during a visit from the Home Office; and
- ensuring all HR roles are filled and the Sponsorship Management System (SMS) is operated responsibly.
Once your Sponsor Licence has been granted, you will need to maintain such duties as:
- Keeping records of your migrant workers throughout their employment via the SMS;
- assigning the correct Certificate of Sponsorship (CoS) to each employee;
- ensuring that your employees are actually doing the work outlined on their CoS;
- informing the Home Office of any changes to their employment, such as promotions or wage increases; and
- informing the Home Office of any significant changes to your business.
The duties of a Tier 5 employer are similar to those for a Tier 2 employer and include:
- Outlining the role you will be advertising for;
- following the relevant Codes of Practice for the role in relation to the resident labour market;
- ensuring your business passes the 'genuine business test';
- assigning the correct HR roles before employing any migrant workers;
- creating accurate Certificates of Sponsorship and assigning them; and
- maintaining records of your workers' time in the UK using the SMS.
Sponsoring an employee requires a substantial amount of evidence. This is so the Home Office knows you are a genuine employer and that this position needs the expertise and skill of the overseas employee.
For the Sponsor Licence application, you will need to present documents that show the different positions in your company. This is known as a 'Hierarchy Chart.' You will need to show where the role you are hiring for fits into this chart.
You will need to file a document that states exactly what the job role in question will entail, what their salary will be and for how long you will need them.
Other evidence you will need to submit include:
- HR records
- Number of current employees
- Annual turnover
- Details of how you intend to comply with your sponsorship duties.
Further to this, you will be required to state the specific visa type for your employee, e.g. Tier 2 Religious Worker, Sportsperson Visa or Tier 2 General.
There is an extensive list of documents you can provide. For more advice, contact IAS today.
If you employ a migrant from outside of the EEA or Switzerland, you will need to sponsor their visa if their role requires either a Tier 2 or a Tier 5 Visa.
The Tier 2 Visa is for long-term skilled workers and can be granted for up to five years, the Tier 5 Visa is for short-term, temporary workers and lasts for up to one year. Deciding which is right for you will depend on the nature of the role you are looking to fill.
For a person in the UK with an Exceptional Talent Visa, you will not need a Sponsor Licence before taking them on at your company. However, you will need to keep a record of their details and employment activity.
The Sponsor Licence system works on a two-tiered system that presents Sponsor Holders as either A-grade or B-grade.
With the A-grade Sponsor Licence, your company will be placed on the register of sponsors on the government website. The A-grade is evidence that you meet all the requirements for sponsoring employees to come to the UK and work in your business.
Throughout your time as a sponsor, you must present records as and when the UKVI comes to inspect. If you are found not to have met the sponsor duties, your A-grade will become a B-grade and your Sponsor Licence will be suspended.
B-grades can be reverted back to A-grades. This is done by following an 'Action Plan' laid out by the UK Visa and Immigration office.
A company can only have two B-grades in the four years a Sponsor Licence is valid for. If issues do not improve after the second Action Plan, the UKVI will revoke your licence. You could face fines and possible criminal charges if you choose to employ any more workers from outside the EEA after losing your licence.
You can renew your Tier 2 Sponsor Licence, provided you:
- pass the Home Office audit;
- can show you have the correct documentation (this includes working records of all sponsored employees);
- keep the SMS up to date during your sponsorship; and
- continue to meet and follow Home Office immigration standards and policies.
You can apply to renew your Sponsor Licence as many times as it takes to satisfy the Home Office. However, if you do not meet these requirements once your current licence has expired, you will need to make a fresh application.
More information on Sponsor Licence renewal.
After putting in the work for a Sponsor Licence application it can feel disappointing to receive a rejection. This can be especially disappointing for any workers you were interested in hiring as well.
You are no longer able to appeal a rejection of a Sponsor Licence application. You can, however, make amendments, or 'fix mistakes', to your current application.
Reasons a Sponsor Licence application can be refused:
- False Documents
- Unspent Criminal Convictions
- You do not meet the requirements
- There is no evidence that you trade in the UK
If your rejection letter states that you were not approved for any of these reasons, you will be subject to a six-month 'cooling off period'. This time is for you to reassess your application and work out any other reasons you may have been rejected. You could also use this time to seek professional Tier 2 Sponsor guidance.
You may have had your Sponsor Licence refused because you failed the 'genuine business test'. This is a recent system used by the Home Office to assess visas/immigration matters. The test looks at how genuine the company's need for a foreign worker is. The Home Office will ask questions about how necessary the role is and what worth the employee's input will have.
The Home Office is now placing a limit on the number of Restricted Certificates of Sponsorship issued to UK employers each year. Because of this, it is crucial that an application for a CoS is completed to the highest standard. IAS has a range of Immigration Consultancy services to ensure you are not employing foreign workers illegally.
To assist with your Sponsor Licence application, we will:
- assess the role and individual you intend to hire to determine which type of Sponsor Licence is appropriate;
- check all the details of your prospective employee(s) to ensure they qualify for a Tier 2 Visa;
- check that the role(s) you want to fill is either on the UK Occupation Shortage List or that it has passed the Resident Labour Market Test;
- ensure you are prepared for the 'genuine business test';
- perform a document check to confirm you have sufficient documentation for your application;
- prepare a Letter of Representation to accompany your application; and
- complete your application form to the highest standard.
To maintain your A-grade licence rating, we will:
- support your use of the Sponsorship Management System;
- ensure your employees are working in the jobs outlined on their CoS;
- Perform a full immigration audit to ensure everything is operating correctly;
- Prepare you for any visits from UKVI.
Call us on 0333 363 8577 or use our online enquiry form for personalised Tier 2 Sponsor Licence guidance from one of our expert lawyers.

HRC responded to news that Vice President Mike Pence's will speak on Saturday at Hillsdale College, which has one of the worst reputations in the country for the welfare of LGBTQ students. Hillsdale College has been consistently rated by the Princeton Review as one of the worst colleges in the country for LGBTQ students. In 2015, an official at the college made national headlines when they sent an institution-wide e-mail asking faculty, students, athletic staff, and alumni to pray that "evil be revealed and destroyed" in regards to same-sex marriage in the United States.
"It tells you a lot about who Mike Pence really is that he's elevating and celebrating an institution like Hillsdale College, with its troubling history of rejecting its LGBTQ students," said HRC Government Affairs Director David Stacy. "The college is consistently ranked among the worst for LGBTQ students and has been openly hostile to LGBTQ people. It tells you a lot about who Mike Pence really is that he is elevating and celebrating an institution like Hillsdale."
HRC recently released a report -- "The Real Mike Pence" -- detailing Pence's history of attacking LGBTQ people in an effort to expose his dangerous record to the world. The report is accompanied by a site that highlights the most egregious anti-LGBTQ stains of his past. Pence has a long track record of attacking LGBTQ people, from supporting a constitutional amendment to ban marriage equality, to opposing the repeal of Don't Ask, Don't Tell and federal hate crimes legislation, to driving forward the administration's despicable ban on transgender service members, which is now being litigated in the courts.

Spring Stir Fried Chicken with Sugar Snap Peas and Carrots
Spring vegetables and chicken breast strips sauteed with fresh ginger, lime juice, and a touch of soy sauce for a quick weeknight meal. I love making stir fries for dinner, what's better than throwing veggies and protein into a wok and having dinner ready in minutes.
Honestly, when I make a stir fry, I usually use whatever vegetables I have on hand (great way to clean out the refrigerator). You can serve it as is or over brown rice, quinoa, noodles, cauliflower "rice", whatever! I love the crunch of the sugar snap peas with the chicken, and my daughter loves crunching on them raw while I'm cooking.
Spring Stir Fried Chicken with Sugar Snap Peas and Carrots
For the sauce:
- 1 tbsp low sodium soy sauce or GF tamari, or Coconut Aminos for W30
- 1 tbsp fresh lime juice
- 2 tbsp water
- 1 tsp cornstarch or arrowroot, for Paleo or W30
For the Stir Fry:
- 1 lb skinless, boneless chicken breast, sliced thin
- salt, to taste
- 1 tbsp canola or coconut oil
- 2 tsp fresh garlic, minced
- 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
- 1 cup sugar snap peas
- 1 cup carrots, sliced diagonally
- scallions for garnish
- Combine soy sauce, lime juice, water and cornstarch in a small bowl, mix together and set aside.
- Season chicken lightly with salt. Heat a large wok over high heat.
- When the wok is very hot, add half of the oil, then add the chicken. Stir fry, stirring occasionally until the chicken is cooked through and browned, about 3-4 minutes.
- With a slotted spoon, remove the chicken and set aside. Reduce heat to medium.
- Add the remaining oil to the wok; add the garlic and ginger, stir for 20 seconds. Add the sugar snap peas and carrots, stirring over medium high heat until tender crisp, about 3-4 minutes.
- Return the chicken to the wok, add the soy sauce-lime mixture, mix well and cook another 30 seconds to one minute.
- Serve immediately and top with fresh scallions.

"…Well, I just came from Whole Foods because I wanted to check out the chard here." And what a wise woman she turned out to be. Look at these colors from the organic vegetables presented by Chickadee Creek Farm:
Every Friday throughout the summer, 11-5, Rutgers hosts a cornucopial feast for the eyes and other senses. You can make a meal of it all as you walk around, lunch on the prepared meals, have a few tasty snacks, and find all the ingredients for dinner in one trip.
I couldn't resist the possibility of specialty granola, particularly a gluten-free variety prepared by Smart Snackbites, which was not only tasty, it was healthy and light. The owner, Alpana, uses juice to bind it, and the result is delightful. I had a lovely chat with Alpana and her husband, Gautam, who founded their delicious business thanks to a recession.
The owner has a gift for blending spices–I also sampled the vegan oatmeal and sesame nut cookies. Very light, featuring apricot and ginger in the one, and lemon and cardamom in the other. Yes, sometimes you need to have a cookie lunch.
Next door was Bounty granola–also delicious if you prefer maple syrup and brown sugar. Don't get me started! Flowers for your table? New plants for your garden? No problem. The Display Gardens have you covered. Natural soap? Eric, a chemist, knows his stuff. We had a long talk about what lathers and what doesn't.
Located at 112 Ryders Ln, New Brunswick, NJ 08901, Phone: 732-932-8451, the Rutgers Farm Market fronts the awesome display gardens, which you can visit before lunch and make a day of it.

St. Jean Pied de Port – a lovely little town in France's Basque country, nestled at the foot of the Pyrenees, with a marvelous pilgrim's atmosphere, it`s the perfect place to start your journey.
The Pyrenees – Europe's 2nd major mountain range, after the Alps, you'll cross at one of the lower passes near the Atlantic ocean, but still a respectable 1600 meters, where swirling mists and flocks of sheep are often your main companions. When the fog lifts wonderful views abound.
Pamplona – the walled fortress city of Pamplona (Iruña in Basque language), ancient capital of the kingdom of Navarre (claimed as part of a "Basque homeland" nowadays by the Basque separatist-terrorist-nationalist groups such as ETA). Pamplona was the end of the second stage in Aymery Picaud's guide. In modern times, the city has become world famous thanks to Ernest Hemmingway's having written about its Running of the Bulls in its annual San Fermin Festival. It's a great place to eat and drink the fine local wine!
La Rioja – Spain's most famous wine-producing region, this area is also famed for the quality of its vegetables and fruit in general, resulting in a rich and varied culinary tradition sure to please every palate. Small hills and valleys create a constantly changing and pleasant walking environment.
The unique energy and camaraderie of the "pilgrimage" – every day you'll share the trail with fellow pilgrims from around the world, and inevitably, the traveler soon finds herself imbued with the unique and magical spirit of the "Camino ".
NOTE: If you aren't in a hurry and want to see more of the area or another part of Spain, consider hiring a car and exploring! For example, driving from Logroño through La Rioja and then to the Atlantic coast to the north to Bilbao to catch a plane, or explore the nearby Pyrenees mountains and then on to Barcelona for your flight home. We can help you to plan your itinerary. Ask us!
