"There is one thing that medical research on body weight regulation has made abundantly clear: If your only goal is weight loss, and you achieve this through a program of restriction and denial, you are sure to fail in the long run. Lasting success comes only through a sustainable change in mindset. This program provides a valuable tool to help you rebuild your relationship with food in an empowering, and permanent way."
—Daniel Marks, M.D., Ph.D., Pediatric Endocrinologist
"As a musician, I find myself around people who smoke quite frequently. Then again, this simply is an excuse. Everyone has a favorite they cling to as they justify their actions in continuing their addiction. This program gave me the tools to disarm this excuse (and all others) and continues to allow me to choose a smoke-free life."
—Zach H., Beyond Compulsion Graduate
"By the age of 30 I'd achieved a peak of 311 pounds and numerous tragic health and emotional consequences from my compulsive eating. The knowledge that I absolutely must change my behavior, coupled with the belief that I was incapable of it, resulted in constant conflict and turmoil. While surrounded by marketing for every diet and fitness approach imaginable, I knew that these were not real solutions. Yet I saw no other answer in sight. When I found Beyond Compulsion, I knew this approach was different. It isn't about distraction, willpower, and deprivation. It's about facing compulsive behavior with tools that bring real change in thought, feeling and action.
Now at 228 pounds and dropping, I'm experiencing many incredible benefits—freedom, and the peace of mind that comes from knowing that I have everything I need to remain free from compulsive eating and all the consequences of that thinking and behavior. I am immensely grateful and I hope many others find freedom in this intelligent approach."
—Karen G., Beyond Compulsion Graduate
I was out of control with gambling. Every time I would lose, I would tell myself, "I am so done with this, I will never throw my money away like this again!"…until the next Friday evening, I was doing it again, the feelings from the prior week already forgotten, only to lose my weeks wages AGAIN.
All of the horrific thoughts and feelings that go along with the gambling addiction back…shame, guilt, disgust, worry, etc., the list is SO long.
Thankfully, it was a true blessing and a "meant to be" when I met Mari. I tried everything to stop gambling. Nothing worked like this program. It is amazing. This journey has brought me a technique that has finally worked, something I can use in other areas of my life. I am continuing to use it, I am truly grateful and thankfully have the gambling monkey off my back. I am free!
—Nikki B., Beyond Compulsion Graduate
"I have not had a smoke since doing the work with you. I still get desires to smoke. Some are strong. I plan to continue applying your techniques to staying smoke-free. Also, I have broken my relationship addiction and am happily free of that obsession. I took a year off after breaking it off in early 2017 and am moving on quite well and well adjusted. You could have charged me double for helping me deal with 2 issues at once. It would have been a bargain at that. I feel confident in referring people to you and have brought you up in multiple conversations at different times with people who I felt would benefit."
—Dennis M., Beyond Compulsion Graduate
"I used food to cope with all the things in my life that were difficult. As I watched my weight go up and up and my self esteem and self worth go down, I felt like I would never have freedom from this problem. Now, however, with this program my life no longer revolves around food. I have lost the weight, kept it off and am able to fully participate and live my life—I am more alive now than ever before."
—Jamie S., Beyond Compulsion Graduate
"I had been a smoker for 26 years. I had tried to quit numerous times and failed with in a days. I think the longest I went without a cigarette was 1 month and I was climbing the walls holding on for dear life. Then I met Mari. Her program is intelligent and taught me to distinguish between my rational and addictive thoughts. Once I got through the first couple of peaks, which Mari talked me through. I was surprised how easy it was for me. I have been an ex-smoker for 2 years now. I say, if I can do it, anyone can with the help of Beyond Compulsion. Thank you Mari."
—Clare T., Beyond Compulsion Graduate
"Is your closet piled up with useless, numerous, identical items? Is your bank
account in bad shape? Can you walk by a store without going in and buying something you don't really need? Are you having restless, guilty feelings of shame and horror
about your spending? Then Mari Paulus can help you like she helped me! I recently signed up with her, in desperate shape, and found myself welcomed into a warm, reassuring atmosphere where I was not judged but understood. My years of obsessive-compulsive spending found a name and I was given simple, intelligent tools to
fight it. Mari Paulus has developed the magic formula that freed me from this
behavior and I will forever be grateful to her for allowing me to finally find freedom from the hell I was in."
—Mimi S., Beyond Compulsion Graduate
"Beyond Compulsion changed my life. If you want to live fully, then this program is for you. Don't delay. Do it now. This program rocks! Thank you, Mari."
—Tamberli L., Beyond Compulsion Graduate
"The strength of Mari's program is in achieving PERMANENT weight loss—the most important thing people can do to improve both their health and appearance as well as adding years and vitality to their lives. There are a myriad of weight loss programs available but virtually none of them work in helping people maintain any loss they do achieve. From personal observation, I can attest that Mari's program does work if one follows the principles she teaches and continues in the follow-up support she offers."
—John Koroloff, B.A., M.A., M.P.H., Ph.D.
"I was a smoker for 11 years. I smoked a pack a day and always talked about how much I loved smoking. Until finally I realized that I didn't want to be a smoker anymore and plan my day around each and every opportunity for a smoke break.
Using this program to stop smoking was a wonderful experience. Yes, there were hard days, but this program requires that you make an informed choice each time you want a cigarette. This allowed me freedom! I wasn't white knuckling it and trying to use my will power to beat this addiction. Each time I made a choice to not smoke that cigarette, I connected with all of the reasons that I wanted to remain free of this addiction. And I am just about to celebrate 18 months without a cigarette and I couldn't be happier!!!!!"
—Katie S., Beyond Compulsion Graduate
"My fiance has struggled since he was a young boy with compulsive eating. When we met, he had lost 60 pounds, but had not taken care of the compulsion to eat and in the last year began to gain the weight back. At that time you recommended I read your book for myself. Well, my fiance read the book also, and it is saving his life! He found the key to overcoming the compulsion, feels in control of the addiction, and no longer feels like he's dieting. The compulsion to eat and the games surrounding it continually become weaker."
—Mary M, Spouse of Beyond Compulsion Graduate
"I was put on my first diet at age 9, and for almost 50 years I tried everything from medically supervised diets to the most popular weight loss plans to self-help groups. Some of them even worked for a while. But later, because I was trying to fix the problem by dealing with the food instead of the thinking, the weight came back on. And along with the pounds came the misery of hating my body and feeling like a total failure—again.
Now I have lost about 100 pounds, and the best part is that I hardly think about food except when it's a natural time to eat or I'm hungry. If I have obsessive thoughts or compulsive feelings about food (and they come very rarely), the tools are there immediately to make the best choice in the moment, emotionally and physically. Mostly, it's a non-issue, and that's a statement I could never have imagined making in the past."
—Carmen F., Beyond Compulsion Graduate

After a lucrative 2008 with 28.6 percent growth, sales of natural and organic personal care products hit a wall in 2009. The good news: For the 12-week period ending in late November 2009, NOPC sales were up 2 percent over the previous year, according to SPINS, a Schaumburg, Ill.-based market research firm. If Natural Products Expo West exhibitor space is any indicator, personal care continues to head in the right direction. Attendees will see at least 268 personal care exhibitors this year. "While we have slightly fewer big companies exhibiting, it has opened the door for new, smaller companies," says Adam Andersen, Expo West show manager. Personal care themes likely to bubble up at the show: at-home spa products, antiaging skin care, oral care and organic labels.
At-home spa products.
Body and massage oils and natural hair-color products were big winners in personal care in 2009, with 7 percent and 8 percent growth, respectively, according to SPINS. "Rather than going to the spa or salon, consumers are making one at home," says SPINS consultant Beata Pabian. Learn more about the sustainability and uses of oils at the Expo West education session Essential Oils, presented by Tim Blakley, an aromatherapist for essential oil manufacturer Aura Cacia, Thursday, March 11,11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
Antiaging skin care.
U.S. sales of antiaging skin care products reached $1.6 billion in 2008, according to Mintel, an international market research firm. In a March 2009 report, Mintel predicted the skin care category will grow 10 percent from 2008 to 2013. Scout the Expo West show floor for new skin care products containing high-potency, multitasking ingredients, such as the darlings of grocery that now are jumping the aisle to become the next personal care stars: superfruits like acerola, buriti, cupuacu, murumuru, urucum and sea buckthorn.
Natural and organic oral care.
The U.S. natural and organic oral care market was valued at $160 million in 2008, and according to market researchers Organic Monitor, it is predicted to grow annually at 20 percent to 25 percent in the next few years. Check out the Expo West show floor for toothpastes infused with xylitol to help prevent cavity-causing bacteria growth, alcohol-free mouth rinses and eco-friendly toothbrushes.
Organic labels. The standoff over organic labeling in personal care is coming to a head. Personal care manufacturer Dr. Bronner's and the Organic Consumers Association filed lawsuits and called on federal regulators to enforce the use of the term organic. In November 2009, the National Organic Standards Board recommended that organic personal care products be recognized like food by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Organic Program. At Expo West, product specialists and legislation experts will clear up the confusion over personal care labels and claims at the Organic Personal Care education session, Friday, March 12, 8:30 to 10 a.m.

Woke up at an almost ungodly hour today and was craving to either make me some pancakes or scones for breakie! Happens that I have everything I need for the Puffed Pancake recipe, so I zipped into the kitchen to whip a batch of pancakes for breakie.
Here's the recipe if you are interested in whipping up a batch on your own. By the way, they really taste super!
Puffed Pancakes: [Recipe from Love Taza]
Makes about 3 – 4 pieces of pancakes
– 2 eggs
– 1/2 cup milk
– 1/2 cup flour
– Dash of salt
– Dash of cinnamon
– 1 tablespoon butter
– 1 tablespoon butter
1) Preheat oven to 200 degrees Celsius.
2) Whisk together the eggs, milk, flour, salt and cinnamon in a bowl.
3) While the oven is preheating, melt the butter in a pie pan or 9 inch square pan. [I used a cake tin for this.]
4) Pour the batter into the hot melted buttered pan.
5) Bake 10-12 minutes (or until the pancake is firm and has puffed around the edges).
6) The pancake will shrink down a bit after coming out of the oven (that's ok.) serve right away with either lemon juice, powdered sugar, maple syrup, or fruit.

I don't so much make specific "New Year's Resolutions" as I try to continually set and complete ongoing goals and projects, but with the all the time spent with family and friends over the Holidays I do find the beginning of the year a chance to get back on track. Somethings I'm working on now and plan to work on early this year include rebuilding my website, updating my portfolio, improving the frequency & quality of posts on this blog, improving my video shooting & editing skills, and going after new clients more aggressively. I've already started on the portfolio and website updates and hope to have those live by the end of the week.
I also posted my 2015 Year in Review - a look at some of my favorite photos from last year - some personal photos and some professional. Check that out Here.
I hope everyone had Happy Holidays and I wish you the best of luck in 2016 - I'm excited about it - its time to get to work.

Whoa – a huge shift comes with the TAURUS New Moon on May 15 (just 3 1/2 hrs after):
URANUS, Archetype of the Awakener & Paradigm Shifter changes Zodiac signs, from ARIES where it's been since 2011(!) into TAURUS!
For the first 'test run' phase, that is, until Nov 6 when it retreats back into AR, before it goes from March 6, 2019 on fully into TAU (until 2025 / 26 – yep, 7 years!).
And what a BOOM effect on top of it:
On the same day, MARS moves from CAP into AQ which URANUS rules, to go into square with MARS in the following night (May 16 at 12:04 am PDT).
Quite a cathartic and catalytic stress / tension release, to set FREE what's been held in for long.
For starters, check out the URANUS into TAU 2018 chart:
- You can see in it also that the URANUS shift happens just after the TAU New Moon!
- MERCURY will have just passed URANUS too, on Sunday May 13, at the very end of ARIES – 'catapulted' into TAU by URANUS.
- Of course the square from MARS entering AQ also on May 15 (where it will be for a long time this year (due to retro this Summer).
- And LILITH / PLUTO ('higher octave of MARS) close together – LILITH will pass PLUTO on May 18 (once every 10 years)! A powerful pointer to be naturally empowered.
- So yeah, all in all a power house – primed for surprises and breakthroughs.
I call the AR – TAU cusp the 'Settling Point' in the Zodiac. Usually the fresh original ARIES start-up energy settles here, fresh shoots take roots, and we find our ground and comfort.
Rather un-settling with URANUS appearing, squared by MARS, you bet.
Let's be with the energy wisely and creatively rather than resisting. TAU is the expert in this, that's why URANUS isn't 'well placed' in TAU, or rather: rocks the boat to shake up what's too fixed.
URANUS entering TAU squared by MARS shifting into AQ feels like a liberation from slavery – literally: Freedom from ownership.
Freedom from what uses up our time and resources (CAP) that can be repurposed much more fulfillingly…
Where have you enslaved yourself / let yourself be enslaved by something you own / that 'owns' and occupies you, your time, your energy / money / resources?
And how can a movement towards collaboration and community (MARS in AQ) propel us forward?!
So cool – just saw that on May 14 would be Che Guevara's 90's (only!) birthday.
He was born on May 14, 1928, and of course became super instrumental in the Cuban Revolution of 1959. Born revolutionary warrior – with URANUS in early ARIES on his AC, and JUPITER to follow.
It was so great to tune into the multi layered spirit of Cuba incl. the revolutionary one, on a 3-week journey through the land with a friend, in 2012 – we didn't even know it was under Che's URANUS Return…
I'll post his chart and some notes on May 14.
Another birthday synchronicity:
When I googled Krishnamurti's quote (and book) Freedom from the Known (so URANIAN, in a spiritual and multi-dimensional sense) yesterday May 11, I found out it was his birthday! He was born with AQ Rising – ruled by URANUS.
And yes, Freedom from the Known is also a big motto for URANUS in TAURUS.
URANUS in its 84-year cycle hasn't been in TAU since 1934 – 1942.
Depression of the World economy and World War II (with territorialism blended with fascism as triggers) – turbulent time for the Earth and the People for sure! PLUTO was in CANCER and LEO (entered at the onset of the war – destructive imperialism).
And before, 1851 – 1851 – era of the Gold Rush, agricultural revolution, following the invention of the mechanical harvester, and even more so consolidation of the industrial era.
That was also the decade when Moby Dick, Uncle Tom's Cabin (owning it was made illegal in the Southern States!) and Darwin's Origin of Species were published.
Chances are, URANUS in TAU will have a paradigm shifting effect on the economy – it might even bring or at least spark the spirit of the 3rd Industrial (or rather: post-Industrial / post-Capitalist) Revolution that's not based on owning (TAU) but on sharing in a network (AQ, ruled by URANUS). Driven by Millennials who, other than their post-War parents don't put much value on ownership of prestige objects like cars that need to be maintained while 'plugging up' the Planet in so many ways. Access to networks (like car shares, co-working office spaces, and other co-ops) is where it's at.
I.o.w., sharing and collaboration instead of owning is FREEDOM (URANUS).
The Sharing Economy in combination with the exponential digital revolution encourages for information to be freely given out – which disrupts trad. industries and equals the playing field (URANUS) – we all can 'produce' books and videos with minimal 'start-up' costs and zero marginal costs (doesn't cost more to produce more).
URANUS energy can be wired, excited, but also anxious, nervous, and not calm and present as TAU would recommend. I.o.w., we really really need to GROUND all that electrical energy that's been 'downloaded' even more so now.
URANUS in AR (since 2011 – actually started on the DAY of the shocking Fukushima catastrophe) has brought an acceleration of alarming shifts and wake-up calls, everything has been 'speeding up' – esp. through URANIAN technology which also led to lots of start-ups and entrepreneurial opportunities. Seemed like we had to be pro-active and assertive (AR, ruled by MARS) to ride this wave, otherwise life and constant newness rushes by (but funny enough, there's always more newness…) – thrilling? Stressful?
The FOMO phenomenon is here with us now through constant new (not necessary quality) thrills and options served up by the media that we can't keep up with.
Huge contrast however when being away from the 'grid', 'simply' in Nature or present with what IS, present as YOU (the big gift or AR).
What stood out under URANUS in AR (2011 – 2018/19) was the 7 (SEVEN!)-fold cardinal (dynamic) Square (a challenging yet creative conflict) from URANUS in AR to PLUTO in CAP, from 2012 to 2015.
Yeah, indeed, 2012 was just the beginning of massive changes:
Inner and outer unsustainable control structures have spontaneously / shockingly / liberatingly broken open. A Revolution – Evolution.
So many of us (incl. myself) were going through massive changes of old worlds 'dying' yet being renovated and 'upgraded' for a new life that's free from the past, and alive in the NOW!
A caterpillar – butterfly effect.
No such dramatic processes for URANUS in TAU astrologically scheduled as the square with PLUTO.
Yet immediately a jolting wake-up call, with MARS square URANUS, and also (widely) to the Nodal Axis The square to the North Node in LEO and South Node in AQ will be exact in Nov when URANUS is back on the cusp to AR and the North Node on the cusp from LEO to CAN but already noticeable this late Spring / Summer / early Fall, as in: Be Creative, own your Life!
As URANUS in TAU takes the shifts from Spirit and Energy (fiery AR) into earthy Matter this sounds to me like:
Building the New and Sustaining.
A New Earth. A New Embodiment. A New Relationship to Nature.
On the other hand, with URANUS in TAU we're probably also move into universal beyond global (TAU) consciousness – liberating in a spiritual sense (yet there's another side to it too, driven by technology – see below).
The global consciousness through globalization took off under PLUTO in SAG (1995 – 2008), and now things are established (PLUTO in CAP since). Those global military-industrial hierarchies and Plutocracies (rulership / power of the wealthy) seem to be hard to change – like moving mountains (CAP).
Yet my vision is for these socio-economic structures to change from within because the status quo (TAU) isn't sustainable, and WE the People become fed up (UR in TAU) enough and FREE to not buy into their values anymore, more excited to outgrow them, and build the new.
My hope is that URANUS in TAU in combination with PLUTO and SATURN in CAP (until end of 2020 / 2023) also brings freedom away from consumer mentality that all these industries feed (agricultural industry, information / entertainment industry, health industry, construction industry, education industry… you name it!) and feed off… away from least resistance / most comfort mode (shadow of TAU: "Feed me and I'm happy."), and towards more creativity / owning agency, simplicity and quality consciousness (CAP) – less IS more.
In the worlds of food and money / economy (TAU domains), we'll see the most obvious shifts – which have to do with a change in values and innovation.
Maybe traditional values go out of the window?
Or, with SATURN and PLUTO in CAP until 2020 / 2023, are being freed up from the old and stuffy world that keeps people 'in their place'. Along with that, yet older Earth traditions that are also liberating can be reinvented and modernized.
Those of us who value good natural food and resources will innovate and support solutions that make the world a garden again.
When it comes to money, we'll probably see a push towards a cashless society.
Plus, new (yet unknown) forms of exchange and of placing value on goods and services can open up innovative ways of speeding up transactions, along with even more economic networks. This can bring a boost to the economy – as long as people have work and aren't replaced by automation.
Yet it makes us also even more dependent on the electronic grid.
More opportunities for innovative business ventures come with URANUS in TAU too.
Everyone can be an entrepreneur and inventor: Come up with something ingenious that has value (suggest it, make it desirable!) and put it on the market. Experiment online (low cost).
The whole thing can of course also create a chaotic 'Gold Rush' like energy in the world of business.
When it comes to our bodies, I believe URANUS in TAU, together with CHIRON in AR (almost same period, 2018 / 19 – 2026), will bring revolutionary research and innovation in the healing field, and for our bodies. Thinking of epigenetics, and stem cell therapy as a major breakthrough which could become more accessible.
A huge shadow comes with the virtual (URANUS) reality (TAU) emphasis, and innovations pushing more and more into this arena (because it 'sells' / addicts people – online / gaming is more exciting than '3-D / 4-D reality').
Many people 'dwell' (TAU) in their devices (UR), and spend less time in Nature, with 'real people', and perhaps even fully connected with their bodies (TAU). Compounded with the exponentially growing overwhelm with information and choices this all leads to collective ADD. Advertisers rival for our attention and constantly interrupt the flow, or even the just focused reading of an article. Instant (URANUS) gratification (TAU) is rewarded and pursued.
So, ironically, the ingenious Genie in the device is wreaking havoc in the brain (stem!) of the 'user'.
More research about this phenomenon will come out and more cures for such a pandemics need to be found….The not-so-news will probably shock those who were oblivious or not wanting to pay attention to the wake-up calls under URANUS in AR, before the body (TAU) gets 'wired' and electrified (UR).
Prevention suggestion: Be ON the ground of Mother Earth and in Nature more often! You're FREE to break away / take breaks from the shackles of your handheld!
Play, be creative, loving, and self expressive (LEO North Node), rather than watching everybody else's 'show' and turn into a nobody (AQ South Node).
Well, and the 'universal consciousness' I talked about above could also have expressions such as:
"Planet Earth isn't sustainable anymore in the long run. We need to explore extraterrestrial settling (TAU) options" – 'Freedom from the Earth'(!?).
I heard scientists talk pretty detached about this – and then there's Elon Musk's spectacular SpaceX project with the Mars mission focus…. (interestingly, E.M. was born with MARS retro next to his karmic North Node in scientific AQ which will be squared by URANUS the ruler of AQ in the next few years…).
Just yesterday, I saw (ironically on FB) a post by a friend re: Terraforming Mars.
Weird stuff i.m.o. / common / uncommon sense: Why playing Nature on a different planet, rather than regenerating Planet Earth?
Just an alert – more of these phenomena might show up and intended to be 'sold' to us now, with URANUS in TAU, along the lines:
"Here's a great solution to the food & water crisis: Let's bio engineer / geo engineer until the cows come home… 😉 "
"Here's an ingenious idea to solve the issue of Life on Earth…: Life OFF Earth….!"
Ok, ok, back to our Home Planet, since foremost, that's where it's at:
Earth is our Mother.
A Renaissance of Earth Consciousness.
TAURUS is the Zodiac energy relating to Mother Earth and her Beauty and Bounty, and where we appreciate our precious human embodiment:
Earth my Body!
If you haven't heard this song and seen this ever so moving video with Nicole Sangsuree yet please do – her legacy before she was killed by a car!
And clearly:
The Earth doesn't belong to us.
We belong to the Earth.
The Spirit of URANUS in TAU can also bring a Renaissance of Back to Nature / incl. communal farming, as more and more people opt out of the status quo of nature congestion, and de-natured food, and want more freedom while working / living with, not at the expense of the Earth.
And the Earth itself might release lots of built-up stress and pressure.
The recent Kilauea quake and volcanic eruption is a precursor…
The Ancient, Sacred Earth showing her Power.
Wake-up calls is what URANUS is famous for.
Freedom from complacency, indulgence, and taking wayyy too much time (shadows of TAU), and Freedom for a new Earth Awareness.
We really can't wait another decade or 5 to do anything about getting our act together (is also what SATURN, LILITH, and PLUTO in CAP say).
The Awakening to a new Earth Awareness, reflected through URANUS in TAU will affect food, money / value exchange, and economy / ecology, and calls for innovative solutions in a volatile world.
Our connectedness with all of Earth's Beings is being (re)awakened now (if it hasn't already) – which spurs us into action and can shake others up too.
Perhaps to stand up, rise up, and speak up for those sentient Beings who can't speak for themselves and need to be protected before it's too late.
Loving this quote by Eckhart Tolle (from: A New Earth):
"Once there is a certain degree of Presence, of still and alert attention in human beings' perceptions, they can sense the divine life essence, the one indwelling consciousness or spirit in every creature, every life-form, recognize it as one with their own essence and so love it as themselves."
Speaks also to LILITH / PLUTO – being in our True Nature, as Nature, in Nature.
Where do you stand in this?
What's new and freeing in your relationship to Mother Nature?
What's shifting for you?
Those of you born with URANUS in SCO (Dec 1974 – Apr 1975, and Sept 1975 – Nov 1981) will have their URANUS Opposition in the years of URANUS in TAU – an awakening / liberation in mid-life which can be a huge catalyst for radical life changes.
All of us (independent of age) esp. if we have SUN, MOON, AC, or Planets in TAURUS (or in LEO, SCO, AQ) are in for surprises too, and we'll get a Uranian 'kick in the butt' to be liberated and reinvent ourselves esp. in the area of life related to our TAURUS House in the chart.
Let's explore how this shows up for YOU, and in the World (symptoms are already manifesting) in our

According to Dave,* a pilot for a major commercial airline in Canada, this preference is due to the fact that "50 to 60% of pilots in the U. commute because they don't live where their routes fly to and from," so the block of days off gives them enough time to get back home and relax. Pilots don't work with the same cockpit crew every time.
When pilots make their monthly scheduling bids, they can ask to fly with particular crew members, but requests are granted based on seniority only.
With autopilot steering the plane, "we don't actually need to look out the windows to fly until right before landing." But that doesn't mean the cockpit is ever left unattended. You may have heard rumors that pilots are either wildly under- or overpaid.
For long-haul flights, extra crew members—the number depends on how long the flight is––are rotated in, allowing the crew adequate time to rest in onboard sleeping quarters. But as in any other profession, compensation varies.
"For all intents and purposes, that cannot happen," Smith says. No pilot will ever say that any part of the flying experience is unsafe, yet they will admit that takeoff is the most critical part of a flight.
"Aircrafts are subjected to extremely intense conditions during testing—more so than the most seasoned pilots will ever experience." In the rare circumstance that a passenger does get injured during turbulence, it's usually because the person has ignored the "fasten seatbelt" sign and bumped his head or twisted his ankle while walking around. "The airplane is heavy, full of fuel and flying at a relatively low speed, and the engines are at or near full power," says George,* who has been a major commercial airline pilot for 22 years.
"Copilots are full-fledged pilots and can operate every aspect of the aircraft, including handling emergencies." The only difference is that the captain is in charge and has an authoritative role during that particular flight.
Although first officers make slightly less than captains, many seasoned pilots will actually remain first officers in order to keep their seniority, which allows them to score the best routes and better work schedules (most pilots prefer back-to-back trips followed by an extended period of time off).
However, according to the pilots we spoke with, the real deal is extremely rare.3."This multitasking can help keep us alert during a lull." And on a bright day, pilots may intentionally obscure their view."When the sun is too strong, we lay a map or a newspaper over the window," says Joe,* a commercial pilot in Canada."Each change requires much more work on the part of the airline than on the part of the passenger.
Catering, mechanics, fueling trucks, baggage handlers, flight crews and more must all make the move." According to George, gate changes can be caused by a number of factors: An aircraft needs additional maintenance or an inspection, a flight has been delayed by air traffic control due to weather, or extra security checks are required for passengers.According to the pilots we spoke with, it's really nothing to worry about.

Third time's thecharm?
But anywhoo, , , back to Found magazine. I found this one particularly funny. The fact that this girl Becca has the balls to respond back to the thief so matter-of-factly is the icing on the cake.
Poor Becca. I hope she gets a new bike soon.
I've been feeling really crafty lately. I know--like that's anything unusual around here. But this week I've been wanting to create more crafty-type things instead of clothing. I think a great source of inspiration of these little things has been greatly influenced by all these friggen sewing blogs I've been reading lately. There is a great BIG LIST of sewing blogs that I've been searching thru lately. This morning I managed to make it to the end of the list, making sure to bookmark the good ones. I like pictures, what can I say. I'm too lazy to read thru the posts if there isn't any pics. So I shall make a concerted effort to show ya'll plenty of pics!
Okay, so back to the crafti-ness. I also want to mention that you, Kelly, have also inspired me to make more than just clothing over here. Thanks sweetie!
Right, so craft talk it is. . .. I woke up Wednesday with the urge to make cupcakes. Not the delicious fattening kind, but something of the fabric sort. I went to work right away. I wanted sprinkles on them. So I took several different color threads and did some satin stitching directly onto some scrap pink hemp. Then I cut a trapezoid shape out of some brown corduroy for the bottom. A little math to figure out the circle, and the damn thing still didn't line up as I stitched. I finally got it together, but it doesn't really look like a cupcake. Cute, but not a cupcake.
Back to the drawing board.
The bottom needs to be a half-circle or arch type thing so it doesn't look wonky on the sides. And it needs interfacing to stand up nice and tall. Hubby says, babe, it needs a muffin-top. Finally, an occasion where a muffin-top is indeed necessary and not just an excuse to wear too-tight jeans. A gathered circle should do the trick.
So I go to work. More math, more errors, but joy all along. I don't know what has come over me, but I just want cupcakes.
The second one is looking better. A hostess rip-off with the swirly chocolate icing. See, I'm not one to do muslin mock-ups. Cuz I figure if it works out, why not make it cute and useful instead of just a boring white thing?? Ya did all that work anyways. ..
Hmmm. . . . still needs work. The bottom isn't standing out strait like I thought it would. Time for thicker interfacing, the kind I bought for the wallets. Oh yeah, that stuff is awesome. Interfacing, people. Learn it. Use it.
Third time's a charm??
See how the sides of the bottom part stick up nice and tall. THAT is what a real cupcake does. Doesn't look all round and stupid like in the first one I made.
So I put it up on etsy and we'll see what happens. I was just too excited about it.
I also began cutting out a wrap skirt on Wednesday, too. Of course, I screwed up on the math on that one, too, so I had to bust out the other piece of the brilliant fabric to make another half circle. This was the fabric I spoke about previously that I had set aside for myself for the lining of a jacket/coat I plan on making for myself. There's still plenty left, thank goodness, because I NEED that fabric on my back, in my possession, for the rest of my life somehow.
You just don't understand how important the fabric is until you see it.
Okay, now that you understand what I'm talking about, we can go on. Cutting the two half-circles was kind of a challange. Forcing me to clean up my kitchen, mopping the floor as it would serve as the cutting table for such a large piece. This fabric is 50" wide. A lot to deal with. I just kind of used my arms as a big compass, holding my left hand at the center mark of the fabric.
So it's all cut out now, and I need to go and get some sort of dark brown for the trim and waistband. I'll get into that probably next week, as the next large project in the kitchen studio will be batik. I've already started on the next batch today, filling in the wax onto the sketched-out designs onto some t-shirts. I'll mix and dye tomorrow afternoon/night and see the results Monday after I boil them out. I'm excited--it's the first batch of batiks I've done this year.
I have so much more to write about. But this is getting pretty absurd, this long post. So I shall leave you with that. And just know that savory mushrooms and send-ables are on their way the next posting. . .
Love you girls. . .

Do you have weak legs with thigh fat and flaccid muscles but dream that they are curved and firm?
You will find in this article the top 10 leg strengthening exercise workout routines to strengthen flaccid muscles and burn thigh fat.
This exercise is a basic exercise in muscle building. The goal of this exercise is simple, just remain in the position as long as possible.
Sit like you would sit in a chair against a wall without moving while maintaining a 90-degree angle.
Place both hands straight up ahead at the same level with the shoulder like in the image above. Keep the position for a 30 seconds.
The squat exercise workout routine is a very effective exercise to target your thighs and your glutes thereby strengthening them.
While you're standing, perform a knee flexion (as shown in the above image) and then return to the original position.
- the knees must not go beyond the tip of the feet
- Feet must not be too wide apart.
- make your back flat and upright by pushing your buttocks backward.
Lunges are probably the best exercise workout routines to build up your glutes. Stand your feet at the width of the pelvis, take a long step forward and allow the bending of the legs in the vertical axis until you reach a 90° angle.
The knee should be upright and not exceed the tip of the foot. Finally, push the ground with your leg to return to the original position.
The sumo squat is a variation of the normal squat above, this exercise workout routine makes it possible to target several muscles.
Place both legs apart, at a much higher angle to the pelvis, flex by pushing the glutes back while keeping your back straight and upright. Push on your heels to go up.
The Donkey kick is a very effective bodyweight physical fitness training exercise that mainly targets the glutes. You will perform a hip extension with your leg up.
This exercise posture also allows you to strengthen the leg muscles. While on kneels with the support of the hands on the floor, simply raise one leg backward, the tip of the foot should be outstretched towards the ceiling until your thigh is parallel to the ground.
Do this for 30 seconds, then return to initial position and do another 30 seconds with the other leg.
Jump from one side of a bench to the other side while standing. Help yourself with your arms to jump as high as possible.
Jog with your feet together up the stairs with a "pause" between each stair jumped. Use your arms as thrusters.
The skipping rope exercise workout routine can be very difficult for some people. Combining cardio and muscle building, this exercise works on legs and abs.
Start slowly and then increase the intensity, do this for as long as possible.
This exercise, sometimes forgotten, will target the hamstring magically.
While standing with your feet slightly separated, bend your knee and push your butt back to keep your back straight.
Keep your face to the front, contract the abdominals and then raise your body by pushing on the legs. Finally, straighten your upper body by straightening your legs without locking your knees.
A very effective exercise to target your hips and your obliques. In lying position on the right side, the head resting on the ground or in your palm, legs stretched out straight in line with the body, raise the left leg as high as possible then bring it back down.
Perform the movement several times, then switch to the other side and do the same with the other leg.
All of these exercises routines help to target the thighs to burn excess fat and strengthen the muscles but do not forget to work the body as a whole to keep a good balance and perfect figure.

Why blog? Because I can! Because it's a way to "vent", to expand, to express, to organise. I can write knowing that my words are on nobody's required reading list. I can write knowing it's not cost anybody anything but the time it takes to click on to the next feed in their aggregator. I have never checked on my "page rank" and don't intend to start, no matter how tempting. I might imagine / dream my blog is placed somewhere in the middle of popularity – more read than some, less read than others… but that's just a dream. I can write my blog when I want to write just for fun. Mostly I'm writing for myself and have a collection of posts I'll probably never published. Anyone who writes regularly might recognise that the writing process can be either extremely, excruciatingly painful or just as extremely pleasurable, and I can be just as much a hedonist as the next correspondent.
One thought on "Why blog?"
You are back … in a Vasco Pyjama like response "blessings and warm salutations "

Whether you're a small business professional or an ambitious writer hoping to make some cash quietly, your number 1 software within in net area is going to be something called Seo. This identifies several actions you can take to make your site be the number one result in a search. Continue reading to discover how.
Give your online website a boost with search engine marketing. SEO can be a technique that is used to place your webpage larger inside the search results when someone uses google, aol or related to find a site over a particular subject. By using key phrases and words which might be connected with your company, you can drastically increase the traffic you see on your site.
There are various solutions to improve your search engine results. You'll get high-ranked results in case you enhance the body for search. Ultimately, better search performance equals a better user experience.
Add new information to your internet site on a regular basis. This will keep your search engine rankings up as it will keep people returning to your internet site to see what is new on your pages. Additionally, fresh content that is well written with SEO in mind may attract the search engine bots. Incorporating great content to your site is a win-win proposition all around.
Steer clear of search engines that request you to pay to become involved. You will find a huge selection of search engines that can list your website for free, some without even having to submit your details. Any site that charges for a straightforward listing is not merely dishonest, but probably an inadequate website.
Films plus a movie sitemap may boost your site's SEO. Use videos for introducing yourself or even to show products. Use effective keywords to name the video, then show it on your own site. Place your sitemap together, then submit the website via your account on Google Webmaster Central. Then, post on other sites, including facebook. Now, you just wait for the customers to begin knocking down your door.
Avoid keyword stuffing or watch your site get banned from the machines. If you're only creating a page that is repeating a keyword over and over again the machines can find on and you may disappear from your list. Keep your use of keywords to a maximum of 10% of your site content.
Don't lock yourself in an ivory tower when choosing your site's keywords. Find what the most popular searches that folks use to your business. You can engage a seo company to do a thorough research on your niche and you will get excellent results.
For those who have a shopping cart system in your site, make sure that it, too, is search engine friendly. Actually, figure that out BEFORE selecting which ecommerce package to use. You will find reviews online, or work with a spider simulator system to be sure of a website that's already using that application.
While trying to find everything you are seeking online, you need to either know how to enhance your search engine results or possess a program on how best to learn how to optimize them. There are numerous publications that can help you figure out how to use searchengines along with the web as a whole.

I cannot say a red color at all and draw beauty of the young bird. Even if the highlight of this work is called anything, it is a back woman-astride position. There is the wonder of the camera work, too and is finished in a superior work artistically. Mmm, is it the this DYNAMITE series? Is eroticism SAWO of more actresses that there is not direction drawing? If there are two actors, it is enough. The item that after all the middy and skirt is excited though it is not a JK-like feeling. Is tied up with a red rope; and the excitement degree is MAX. A hot fellatio is unbearable and is good. The sensitivity that is black among young bird, 巨乳, handbills out of MANNKO Φ is good. I live with BAYIBURE-TA-RE-TA- vibrator BAYIBURE-TA-RE-TA- onanism in a short time and am speedy. It has a long it with a cod cod in a great many people who are not excited even if I see I am choked in YIRAMATIO of the decaJapanese spaniel too. The public performance keeps living while changing 4P, the physique and starts it during 3 continuations in the last. A feeling of pressure was poor and did not get passion for ways of gasp voice agony. The body which there is no that this one sulks with a distinguished style, and there is the favorite pie goaf which seems to be soft in quite good 巨乳 and says in is the breast which is great though it is thin. Both the gasp voice and the fellatio are good. I want to see the work which I made a baiban if possible. Young bird is very pretty! It is the woman who wants to make her. A fellatio is very erotic; and really ferra; thio; seem to go as soon as was considered to be it. A product is a pleasure on the next time! This is a good woman. The style is good, too and it is erotic and likes it. The fellatio is good, too and likes a sperm. Unbearable. But there are slightly too many fellatio scenes. It is a quite good work. I have a cute METIゃ. The W fellatio is the best. Even if it was good for a fellatio enthusiast, it was not slightly good enough personally. It is the inside and opens it fully. The seriousness stew around flapping is eroticism eroticism. An actress is pretty, and the style is OK, too. I can enjoy HD more. It is a work appropriate to the dynamite series. I watch that is pushed that a pretty actress still blamed you by plural plays by absorption in fellatio from the start and can enjoy it. It was a perfect score if I made even disposal of hair. In the tight binding scene, a thing is insufficient. I fixed the camera angle and did not show an expression of the fledgling. Young bird is beautiful. The figure which the breast gave a shake at with a woman-astride position by beautiful milk was the best. It is excited I let you have a willie in your mouth to the depths, and to do ZUKOZUKO. A style is good in this actress beautiful women and is quite good 巨乳. The first half, the latter half were good, but the middle fellatio scene is disgusting after the head. I am excited at face which it is slender, and is super erotic, black YIMANNKO Φ. The red garters were good, too. It is not a favorite actress personally. A fellatio of the ..., YIYINAXA - young bird, the sperm enthusiast are enough for the red underwear. A style, the breast is good, too. The impression that what I gather what and actors suddenly though this work sucks the good number of times and is run and does the public performance and have finished taking it suddenly, and say is frank. Yes, a thing to be worried about which it was led by onanism, pie goaf, a public performance and an actress, and actor leadership rotated the dynamite for a face properly, and both two of them and three watched with one work. Various costume plays are erotic, and, in a beautiful actress, a delusion spreads. It was a bet, and I loved it, would there be a guy with the force one ☆ decrease ... for force of the discharge of guys with a whole fellatio a little more personally? As for the pretty fellatio that is intense though I am so pretty, young bird, MEXTUTIゃ which do not collect are pretty. What is tied up is excited at a sailor clothes figure very much. The form that the breast is very beautiful. YIMARA is an excitement thing, too. A middy and skirt was a favorite thing, and DL did NO2 (laugh). I am worried about the one which makeup has dark for a high school girl, but it is excellent, and can go along the shin young bird appearance, and the reaction is. I did not disappoint expectation. The lewd play by those clean features was the best. As I was pretty and was an actress excellent at a style, I felt that I could not finish making use of good material. A profile performing a fellatio is an erection thing physical ... which is super erotic for a beautiful woman. It is DL by all means! Is an actress beautiful woman; and a milk bottle is ◎., too The contents are hard, too, and is it recommended? It is a nice body for a precious beautiful woman, but paste is too bad. The mullah erecting directly can watch nothing. I am too sorry that I can just take in the atmosphere of the photography spot. . . It is totally personal taste, but I hate red underwear. Is it a dynamite? Where? I was disappointed for XTUTE feeling. You must not sell the name of the S grade actress cheap. I expect it on the next time. The quality of the image is good for a dynamite, but ... is missing for force um. It is most fellatios other than a tight binding scene. It is slightly hard that the similar scene spreads out endlessly and plainly. Click here for more information on Hina

Luxury goods group Kering is used to setting fashion trends with its stable of famous designer labels like Gucci and Stella McCartney. Leveraging its influence as a market leader, the organization aims to set a different trend through incorporating initiatives to tackle social and environmental issues into their business strategies for all their brands
By Leon Lee
Over the past two decades, people have become increasingly aware of the potential negative impact of their actions on the environment and society. As the threats of global warming and other potential catastrophes become more real, they are making changes in hopes of helping the situation and preventing it from getting worse.
In the last couple of years, many corporations have talked about sustainability and doing their part. However, few have taken the issue of sustainability as extensively as luxury goods group Kering has and made it an integral part of their business.
Sustainability is much more than a marketing tool for Kering and its stable of luxury brands such as Gucci, Bottega Veneta, Alexander McQueen and Stella McCartney. Kering's chairman, Francois-Henri Pinault, made the decision to approach it as a strategic driver to the group and its operations. It is at the core of the business strategy for all their brands.
"The reason why Mr Pinault have pushed sustainability as a core strategic driver for the business is multi-faceted," Carlo Imo, President of Kering Asia Pacific, explains.
"First of all, we believe it's going to bring innovation into what we do. To move toward smarter practices requires innovation and outside-the-box thinking. It's also going to be a source of new business opportunities and cost reductions in term of what we do and what we produce."
As a leading luxury goods and apparel organization, quality and durability are of utmost importance which links to sustainability.
"In particular to the luxury field, I think we have a major responsibility because we set trends. As an industry leader we influence society hence it is our mission be a change-maker for the environment," Imo says.
In 2003, Kering established a sustainability department on the corporate level and created an environmental reporting platform. Four years later, a sustainability department was established on the group level and reported directly to the Chairman and CEO of the organization.
Furthering their commitment, in April 2012 Kering set a list of sustainability targets to be achieved by this year, targets which Imo believes might be one of the company's most ambitious steps in driving sustainability throughout the group.
"It's a long list of targets we set and committed openly and publicly to work on. They focus on all our supply chain across our brands: raw material sourcing, production process or supplier performance. Those targets are recognized from the very beginning as being particularly serious," the president explains.
"Because looking at the nature of the targets, you can easily see they really focus on the way we do business and the way we do manufacturing and distributing."
Some of the targets are to have 100 percent PVC-free collections, paper and packaging materials sourced from forests certified to be sustainably managed with a minimum of 50 percent recycled content and a 25 percent reduction in the company's carbon dioxide emissions, waste and water usage from the production of products and services.
Ahead of the game
According to a report published in mid-2014, they are making good progress on reaching each of the targets. PVC (polyvinyl chloride) was found in less than two percent of the group's goods. An overall total of 57 percent of its hazardous and non-hazardous waste were recycled or reused, while waste production by the group dropped by 10 percent. Eighty-eight percent of organization's paper consumption was either sustainably certified or recycled.
Brands under Kering have been using various technologies and tools to achieve the goals. Fashion designer Stella McCartney is a vegetarian and fierce animal rights advocate so her collections do not feature any fur or leather. Instead, they use organic cottons and wools for their bags, shoes and apparel, relying largely on technology and innovations to develop materials as a replacement. Gucci has been working to develop technology to tan leather without using any heavy metals and to reduce the amount of water consumption during the process.
A bag from Stella McCartney's Eco-Alter Nappa collection
In 2013, Kering founded the Materials Innovation Lab (MIL) in Milan, Italy to help identify, catalogue and make available sustainable raw materials to all of its brands. In two years, the lab has an archive of over 1,500 samples of certified sustainable fabrics.
"When designers, creative directors and development teams are working on products, they can check with MIL in term of source materials which have been tested and verified by MIL as sustainably viable," Imo says.
One sustainability target that Kering has already met was the implementation of the Environmental Profit & Loss account (E P&L) across all of its brands. Developed with PricewaterhouseCoopers, the E P&L measures and monetizes the costs and benefits generated by a company's environmental impact.
"We are weighing the impact of our operations and supply chain on the environment. It's very interesting because it's going to move the way we do business and where and how we structure our supply chain based on environmental concerns such as water and land consumption," Imo says.
However, rather than being a method of environment reporting, it aids in putting environmental impact into business terminology which can then be used in comparisons and analysis. Kering has made the E P&L methodology publicly available in hopes that other companies would follow suit to measure their actions.
Empowering women
Besides being environmentally sustainable, social sustainability matters to the group as well.
"When we look at sustainability, we look at that in a broader scope so socially for us, gender equality and women empowerment falls into that," Imo points out. It also serves as a business imperative as women make up 80 percent of Kering's customers and 60 percent of their employees.
In Asia, they have recently launched a one-year mentoring program, pairing 10 sets of women within their organization. They have partnered with The Women's Foundation for their advice and experience to develop the content of the program as Kering hopes to help the growth of the mentees' careers.
"I think the ultimate goal is to make [Kering] an employer of choice for women. That's what we've been working on and that's one of the key drivers for our HR actions in the region," Imo reveals.
In other areas, Kering has taken steps to address gender inequality in the movie industry. The group has a five-year partnership with the Cannes Film Festival, and they hosted a series of debates for their Women in Motion series last year. Actress Salma Hayak spoke about sexism in Hollywood and Frances McDormand spoke on pay disparity. The organization hopes events like these will promote more debate and awareness of the issues.
"There were only four women nominated for Best Director for the Oscars and out of them, only one, Kathryn Bigelow has won the Oscars for Best Director in 2010. And in term of top five movie characters most played by women, 89 percent nurse, 81 percent secretary, 57 percent teachers, 53 percent waiters and waitresses and 40 percent cashiers," Imo says.
"So what that means is that clearly women are massively underrepresented in term of roles. But when we are talking about Women in Motion, we are also looking at the presence of women as directors and producers where their presences in those fields are even more scattered and rare than acting roles."
In January of this year, Kering announced a new collaboration with the Sundance Film Festival in New York. They will sponsor a fellowship program and provide year-long support such as special training and workshops to six female filmmakers. Imo says the group will also be exploring something in Asia.
In 2009, the Kering Foundation was established with the mission to fight against violence on women. In the United States, the foundation focuses on tackling sexual violence, in Europe it's female genital mutilation and in Asia, the focus is on domestic violence.
The foundation has partnered with several NGOs in China to support projects to help women who were victims of domestic violence. In Hong Kong, they are looking to do the same with local NGOs.
Global recognition
In order to promote sustainability throughout the group, it is necessary that everyone is clear on the direction of the company throughout the organization. Imo and his team have work out a road map of priorities and actions for the group for the next three to five years. He understands the importance of engaging people to share common objectives, address challenges and overcome them as a team.
"This exercise in working on and rolling out a road map has been extremely healthy because it's a way to look into the way we operate, what our objectives are, how we relate internally and externally to drive those," says Imo, who became President of Kering Asia Pacific in December 2014.
His previous experience as an in-house counsel for almost 20 years offered much insight to his current role.
"The role of an in-house counsel, in my view, is horizontal and holistic at the same time. It's horizontal because you work cross-functional so you work looking at your organization as a whole and it's also holistic because you need to have the ability to look at and have a helicopter view on the business to assess risk and to advise properly. Those skills are quite important on management," Imo explains.
The group's extensive plan on sustainability has resulted in global recognition. Last year, Kering was recognized as an industry leader in the Textiles, Apparel & Luxury Goods sector in the 2015 Dow Jones Sustainability Indices (DJSI) World and Europe for the second consecutive year.
In January of this year, it was named in the Corporate Knights' Global 100 index at the World Economic Forum in Davos. It was Kering's first time on the list, and they are the only luxury corporation to be included in the widely-recognized index for the world's most sustainable corporations.

Lawsuit filed by fire victim's father names another defendant
A lawsuit filed by the father of a man found dead after a catastrophic apartment fire in San Marcos has targeted yet another defendant, while another survivor of the deadly blaze has joined the case.
Phillip Miranda of Cove, Arkansas — the father of fire victim James Phillip Miranda, 23, of Mount Pleasant — has filed the first in what could be a series of lawsuits against the owner and managers of Iconic Village Apartments, located two blocks from Texas State University. The younger Miranda and four other victims were found dead after flames ripped through the property two hours before dawn on July 20.
Investigators are still waiting on test results to determine what sparked the fire. Those may not be complete until October. Investigators haven't publicly revealed where specifically the blaze started.
The lawsuit targets the owner of the apartments, San Marcos Green Investors LLC; property management company Elevate Multifamily LLC; and Deborah Jones, an Austin woman who works as a manager at the Iconic Village property. Earlier this week, Thomas Steubing Jr. of New Braunfels also was named as a defendant in the case. Steubing is another manager at the apartments.
A call to Steubing on Friday was directed to an Elevate Multifamily official, who said the company cannot comment on ongoing litigation.
Five people who escaped the fire have joined Miranda's father as plaintiffs in the lawsuit. The latest to be added is Michelle Trevino, who was staying with her boyfriend, Pablo Torres, at his apartment when the fire erupted. They escaped, but suffered injuries to their arms, back and other places, the lawsuit said.
The other plaintiffs — Benjamin Muñoz, Abril Cardenas and Christina Martinez — also were injured.
The lawsuit accuses the defendants of "gross negligence," claiming they failed to create and follow adequate safety protocols, didn't "adequately" inspect and test fire alarm systems and failed to warn people of "dangerous hazards" at the apartments. It also accuses the defendants of failing to provide fire sprinkler systems, although San Marcos' current city code didn't require the apartments — built in 1970 — to be retrofitted with sprinklers unless they underwent significant renovations.
The other victims found dead after the fire were Dru Estes, 20, of San Antonio; Haley Michele Frizzell, 19, of San Angelo; David Angel Ortiz, 21, of Pasadena; and Belinda Moats, 21, of Big Wells.

April is Autism Awareness Month and a group of pool players is using the game they love to help those in need. Among them a former trick shot champion turned public school teacher who knows his angels inside and out.
By day, Andy Segal teaches math at Forest Hills High School in Queens. By night he teaches lessons on the pool table.
"I teach geometry so every once in a while I'll throw in pool as an example," Segal said.
And he's got plenty of examples to choose from. From 2009 to 2016 Segal was the number 1 ranked trick shot pool player in the world. He literally wrote the book on trick shot pool.
"I met the right people, I guess. My parents would say I met the wrong people. But I met the right people and it got me involved in pool and I kind of advanced."
One of the people Segal met playing pool was his wife. When she was a college co-ed he challenged her to a game of nine ball and lost.
"That game went well for me because 27 years later we are still together," Kim Segal said.
Today the couple still hangs out in billiard halls around New York City on occasion. Every Monday night they play in the Shooters Club 9 Ball Charity League on Long Island.
"Everybody knew about Andy Segal," said Ted Dabrowski.
Dabrowski runs the league, which has raised more than $50,000 for the ASCENT - a school for individuals with autism.
He says Segal's skills in the classroom have carried over to the pool table.
"He has helped some players become 3, 4, or 5 times better than they are," Dabrowski said. "He's such a giving person that he really helps out."
But when it comes to practical applications, Segal says teaching just doesn't translate to the table.
"Math and science, believe it or not, despite what everyone says has nothing to do with pool. I could pull out 20 random professional pool players and I'd be lucky if I found one that could add," Segal said.
That might be one big reason why Segal got into teaching. Today he's retired from trick shot pool competitions, but he still does shows from time to time for special events and charities. To donate to the ASCENT school, visit ascentschool.org.

Four first half goals from Tyler Fischer fired the Devonport Strikers to a 5-3 victory over the Kingborough Lions in a wild game at Lightwood Park.
Fabulous Fischer fires Strikers past Lions
The American struck four times in the first half as his Strikers side went into the sheds with a 4-1 lead and the game seemingly in hand before they were forced to survive a spirited second half fightback from the Lions.
The Lions started brightly in what quickly developed into an open game, flowing from end to end. Benny Kovadio came close to opening the scoring with a backheel that just went wide but it was Devonport who would open the scoring. Tyler Fischer scoring his first of the day, stepping up to dispatch a stunning free kick into the top corner of the net from around 25 yards out. He took it before the Lions could set a wall but even if they had one, it was so well hit that it probably would not have mattered.

Zebras punish South errors to go top
The Hobart Zebras defeated South Hobart 3-0 to go top of the table on Friday Night. After a tentative opening from the Zebras that saw them under immense pressure, a goal from Luke Huigsloot and a brace from Matt Sanders was enough to see the Zebras home.
It was a tight opening couple of minutes to the game that was played at a lightning pace. After the first few minutes South worked their way on top of the Zebras and started to create havoc. Alex Walter was particularly dangerous and took the fight right up to the usually unflappable Jayden Hey. Numerous times inside the first 25 minutes, Walter beat Hey and played the ball into dangerous areas only for the ball to be cleared away at the last second. Hey then took the honours for the rest of the half, going on some scintillating runs from full back and also started to find a way to break even in his battles with Walter defensively. Unfortunately for South Hobart, Walter, who had probably been South's best, was subbed at half time with a suspected broken wrist.

Stellar Sklenar sees Warriors home over Rangers
Jakub Sklenar was the hero as the Olympia Warriors earned another three points to keep in touch with the competition leaders. The Warriors dispatched a plucky Northern Rangers outfit 4-2 on a delightful afternoon at Warrior Park.
The opening 20 minutes was a rather dour affair. Olympia held possession for large periods of time, and often played the ball side to side rather than making an incisive plays through the middle with a forward pass. The Rangers were the reverse of the Warriors during this time period, pushing forward extremely quickly when they did have possession.

Reds rally past City
A second half fightback helped Clarence United chalk up their first victory of the 2017 NPL TAS season as they recovered from a 1-0 half time deficit to defeat Launceston City 2-1 in their home opener.
It was Launceston City who started the sharper of the two sides with Linger and O'Connor looking particularly lively. They duly took the lead after 11 minutes when O'Connor crossed for Compagne to tap home from close range.

Long or short, curly or straight, thick or thin; no matter what type of hair you have, it's handy to know how to look after your locks and why it is important to have healthy hair, especially as a guy! Hair reflects your identity and if you want to maintain the thickness and natural colour for longer, here are a few tips you should start to do to for healthier and stronger hair.
Keep shampooing to a minimum
Are you washing your hair every day with shampoo? You might be doing more harm than good by doing that. Washing your hair every day with some shampoos can irritate your scalp and strip your hair of the natural oils that make it smooth and easy to style. Instead, we recommend shampooing your hair once or twice a week to maintain moisture and hydration in the follicles. Unwashed hair may appear greasy when you start reducing your shampooing routine, but over time your hair will feel stronger and healthier as it retains its natural oils.
Regular conditioning is key
Did you know shampooing before you condition is a myth? Instead, regular conditioning is the way to go as it helps protect and moisturise your hair! For even better results, try using an egg yolk as a conditioner to provide your hair with an abundance of proteins and essential minerals that strengthen your follicles from the root. When conditioning, we recommend wetting your hair in the shower, applying a light amount of conditioner to your hair and rinsing it off after a few minutes. Your hair will feel softer and thank you for the VIP treatment you are providing.
Cool off the heat
It's important to cut down on the heat you are exposing to your hair, like washing with hot water, keeping it unprotected in the sun and overusing heating products. These heating factors have tendencies to dry out your hair and break your hairs' bonds, which can be damaging to growth and strength. Try washing your hair with either cold or lukewarm water, wearing a hat, and making sure any heating items you are using on your hair are on low heat settings.
Dry don't rub
Did you know drying your hair can be one of the biggest causes of damaged hair? When wet, hair is vulnerable and weak, so when rubbed with a towel, it becomes stretched, causing cuticle damage, frizziness and split ends. To properly towel dry, shake out excess water and pat dry your hair in the direction it grows, preventing stress on the scalp and ensuring relief on your locks.
Look after your beard
Growing and styling a beard can be tricky, but the trickiest part is taking care of it! Much like the hair on your head, beards require regular shampooing, conditioning, trimming and cleaning to keep them healthy and thick. Maintain the cleanliness of your beard by using a high-quality beard brush to loosen any excess skin cells which will wash away in the shower!
The condition of your hair reflects the overall health of your body, so it is important to take care of yourself! Try including Body Essential silicea MAN One a Day Capsules into your everyday routine to promote thicker and better-looking hair and also support your skin renewal process, which slows the signs of aging. Silicea also offers a wide range of silica supplements for skin, bone and nail development. Find the full range of our products here http://www.silicea.com.au/home/.

Dragonfly Records emerges from the cocoon and spreads its wings to fly once more.
We are delighted to announce the highly-anticipated relaunch of Dragonfly Records with the release of the seminal Order Odonata compilation series.
Aptly entitled, Metamorphosis, it includes nine cutting edge tracks that pay homage to early pioneers of the Goa Trance movement. At the same time, it also celebrates the evolution of the psychedelic scene and the perpetuality of its motion into the current time with featured new talents who are driving it forth at dance floors right across the world.
A no-holds barred psychedelic journey is on the agenda. It will take you from the sounds of Melodic Goa Trance with Tsuyoshi Suzuki and Etnica, InnerZone and Total Eclipse, to blasting Full On dance floor dynamics with Youth, Nervasystem, Hautacam and Mirson, before Bumbling Loons and Robert Elster (aka Vibrasphere) leave us on a beautiful high with their deep, chunky hypnotic Trance grooves.
Order Odonata was first released to the unsuspecting masses back in 1993 by music producer and Killing Joke Bassist, Martin 'Youth' Glover.
Youth said: "Order Odonata quickly created a complete revolution in electronic music that continues to this very day.
Now considered to be the very first trance album released, it became the default template and inspiration for an entirely new genre, Psychedelic Trance (otherwise known as Psy Trance), and over the preceding 26 years, it still retains its fresh vibe, relevance and timelessness. Today Psy Trance is bigger and more relevant than ever before!
The world has never needed all the different people to come together and dance as much as it does today, so it seems like the right time to continue the Order Odonata tradition once again."

Chicago Triathlon
Making it a habit of posting race reports months later, but better late than never.
The race was good even though there was some serious shenanigans the night before.
SO…… Saturday drove to Chicago early afternoon just in time for the massive rain storm to come through…….naturally, I don't have proper rain gear with me and get soaked on the walk to the hotel. Get all checked in, rain finally stops a few hours later, drop the bike off in transition, eat food. After dinner I was back at the hotel watching tv and about to go to sleep just before 9pm……. when for some reason I remember I FORGOT not only my wetsuit, but also my goggles, and back up goggles and swim skin. (never packing the back-up swim gear with the for real swim gear again) Freak out for about 5 min and then decide sleep can wait, jump back in the jeep and drive almost an hour home, quick hand off of the forgotten items at the toll road exit and directly back to Chicago. Holy hell….. going to bed at midnight, but it could be worse right? The morning was uneventful, and I end up having way more time than I need. I was glad didn't turn in my hotel room key, because being able to go back to the hotel and lounge for a few hours was great. Watched a little tv, stretched, and avoided the general craziness of pre-race port-o-potty lines. I should have thought things through a bit more and took full advantage of having the hotel. In hind sight I could have got a decent warm up in at the hotel fitness center instead of just the walk to the start and a few running drills in the grass. The amount of people and traffic made a proper warm-up not really an option. It was also really humid so any running would cause massive sweating and a massive struggle to get the wetsuit on. But on to the swim.
OOOOHHHHHH the swim. Water was……. rough. Think middle of the ocean in a storm rough. At least 2 foot rolling waves that came in hit the wall and then came back at you from the other side. It was crazy, swimming up waves, down waves, taking a breath and inhaling waves. The actual start was not very good, lots of people in a small space so it took a while to find a hole. After the turn around I wasn't seeing a lot of orange swim caps that I started with and kept catching other waves ahead of me so I figured I was either in between the fast and slow pack from my wave or it was just going really well. At this point I was also pretty sure that driving 2 hours round trip for the wetsuit and goggles was the best idea ever, especially when I got to the really rough water and massive clumps of sea weed.
After the swim there was a 1/4 mile run to transition. That time was included in my swim time. My watch said about 29 min when I got out of the water and the results have me at 32 for the swim. Transition was a little slow with a nice run up hill to my rack and through the mud pit from all the rain the day before, but I was pretty happy to see the majority of the bikes from my wave still sitting in transition. The bike went really well, although along with forgetting my wetsuit I forgot my drink mix as well. Luckily in the race bag they gave a sample of gatorade endurance formula mix. I used it before so just tried not to make it too concentrated and I went with that. It worked pretty well. There were really fast parts on the bike and some slow sections from the headwind. But given I was going into this race with a big question mark about how the run was going to go due to a hamstring issue, the goal on the bike was just ride as fast as possible. Results have me riding 1:14 and avg 20mph.
Started the run out easy. Didn't really pay attention to the watch at all, I felt good, but didn't want to over do it early on, so I ran a bit more than a jog. Just before the turn around I was still feeling pretty good. My hamstring issue was not making an appearance so far, so I decided to pick it up on the way back. I started to get some little cramps in my side so it got a little slow for a few min while I ate some salt and water. After that I felt good again and ran hard. It was pretty warm on the second half of the run when the sun came out, and I was surprised that I didn't die like usual. I ran 55:55 9min/mile so that was pretty good for not expecting to be able to do more than jog.
Total time was 2:48:07, I was 12 out of 156 in my age group, 53 out of 781 women, and 553 out of 2708 overall. So pretty good. Glad I went and did the race. The race in general has gotten a lot better with the changes they made, especially since there were 9,000 people racing that day so pleasantly surprised that it wasn't a complete disaster like the first time I ran that race.
