I've done my homework and studied this board and here is what I've come up with for my September trip. I'm looking for suggestions to fill in the gaps -- or reprimands if something looks poorly planned or just plain silly.
Dinner considerations: We've decided not to do French Laundry this time and save it for next March when we're going to come back for the Napa Valley Marathon. We've done Morimoto in Philly and loved it, but would like to try something new. We're open to anything, no dietary or taste restrictions.
Also we're staying in Napa and would like to be able to walk back to the River Terrace Inn, a mile or two at the most, but a restaurant being within walking distance is not a deal breaker.
As for wines, although we consume quite a bit of it, we're rather unsophisticated. Right now we're stuck in a Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc/Willamette Valley Pinot Noir rut, so we're looking to expand our repertoire.
Yoga class at Ubuntu
Lunch somewhere between Napa and Rubicon tour in Rutherford
Quick stop at Peju if time permits
Late dinner back at Ubuntu
Breakfast somewhere Napa
Platypus Tour (which will take the whole day.) No idea which wineries they'll include.
Late date dinner at Oentori
Looking for restaurants and a wine stop to fit in this plan:
Couples Mudslide at Solage in Calistoga
Dinner back in Napa. Wine & Rotisserie maybe? I'm a huge fan of Tyler Florence's recipes, but have never been to one of his restaurants.
Bike ride and kayaking on the Russian River.
Pick up at 10:30 a.m. in Healdsburg, drop off at 3:30. According to the brochure, here are some wineries they may visit on the tour: Robert Young deLorimier and Stryker among others.
Lunch is included on the tour. Need quickie breakfast and a dinner suggestion.
I'd like to fit the di Rosa Preserve in somewhere I think. Worth the effort?
Thanks in advance for the help.

T-Mobile counters Sprint with cheaper trade-in deal for iPhone 6S and 6S Plus at $3 to $9 per month
USA: T-Mobile has officially announced it own trade-in program for latest iPhone 6S and 6S Plus with older version of iPhones or any other phones and it has made the deal sweeten by keeping unbeatable lowest monthly installments.
T-Mobile has kept the lowest monthly installment for iPhones 6S and 6S Plus in the range of $3 to $9 per month as per the storage capacity of iPhone 6S and 6S Plus phones.
In comparison to Sprint, which is offering iPhone 6S (16GB) at $15 per month, T-Mobile is offering the same device at unbeatable price of $5 per month if you trade-in your old iPhone 6 or other Samsung Galaxy phones. See the comparative prices in below table.
The complete press release by T-Mobile is as below.
T-Mobile Celebrates Record-Shattering Demand with Unbeatable $5 per Month Offer on iPhone 6s
On the heels of an unprecedented surge in T-Mobile's iPhone pre-orders over last year's record, the Un-carrier doubles down with the offer of iPhone 6s 16GB for an unbeatable $5 a month with JUMP! On Demand and an iPhone 6 trade-in
Bellevue, Washington — September 23, 2015 — On the cusp of iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus availability, T-Mobile today announced it's doubling down on what was already an unprecedented offer on your new iPhone – unveiling an absolutely unbeatable $5 a month for iPhone 6s 16GB and $9 a month for iPhone 6s Plus 16GB with JUMP! On Demand and trade-in of an iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus. This new offer is unmatched in the industry, building on an already record-breaking pre-order performance over last year at T-Mobile.
"With these incredible $5 and $10 a month deals, we're giving customers just one more reason to come to T-Mobile," said John Legere, president and CEO of T-Mobile. "This is a deal that only the Un-carrier could create, let alone make into a reality – and the crazy demand we're already seeing tells me the carriers' customers just aren't buying their BS anymore. For your new iPhone the choice couldn't be clearer."
T-Mobile's new pricing builds on the Un-carrier's straightforward $20 a month for a new iPhone 6s 16GB with JUMP! On Demand without a trade-in. Now, your trade-in value for any old phone you own brings that monthly price down even more – $10 a month with trade-in of iPhone 5s, Note 5 or Note edge and $15 a month with trade-in of almost any other phone you own like iPhone 5, iPhone 5c, Galaxy S4, Galaxy S3, HTC M8 and Motorola Droid Turbo. At T-Mobile, you'll get what your trade in is worth.
The Un-carrier's also doing right by those customers who already pre-ordered their new iPhone with trade-in, giving them the same great offer with an upfront bill credit. Below is a full breakdown of prices for iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus with JUMP! On Demand and your trade-in:
And, if you want to hang on to your iPhone after your 18 month JUMP! On Demand agreement is up, you can at T-Mobile for $125 LESS than the full retail price. That's just $524 for a new iPhone 6s 16GB. In fact, T-Mobile is the only provider offering iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus at a discounted price.
Starting Friday, September 25th at 8:00 am local time, new iPhones will be available at participating T-Mobile stores nationwide, subject to inventory availability, and online at www.t-mobile.com/apple. For more information on iPhone, please visit: www.apple.com/iphone.
Monthly payment amount +taxes on 18-mo lease after monthly bill credits. 0% APR O.A.C for well-qual'd customers. If you cancel wireless service, promotional pricing ends and payments are up to $27/mo. Must return working device or pay it off to keep it at lease end. No security deposit. Not available with Carrier Freedom (device pay-off) or other trade-in offers. Qual'g service req'd.

Gum Graft
(Sub-epithelial Connective Tissue Grafts)
In addition, gum recession often results in root sensitivity to hot and cold foods as well as an unsightly appearance of the gum and tooth. When significant, gum recession can predispose to worsening recession and expose the root surface, which is softer than enamel, leading to root caries and root gouging.
Before & After Gum Grafting
Risk Factors for the Progression of Recession when tissues are thin include:
- Tooth brush abrasion
- Biting overload (which can occur from grinding or clenching your teeth)
- Increased functional load (teeth which support bridges or partial dentures)
- Planned orthodontic therapy
- Sensitive exposed roots
- Root exposure with a high smile line (aesthetic concerns)
Ill fitting restorations under the gum line which are too deep violating gum attachments (biologic width)
In addition, gum recession often results in root sensitivity to hot and cold foods as well as a "long in the tooth" appearance to the smile. Gum recession can also predispose the area to root decay as the root surface is softer than enamel.
A gingival graft is designed to solve these problems. A thin piece of tissue is taken from under the "skin" of the roof of the mouth. You may have a stitch or two in the roof of your mouth, but, the roof of your mouth is not "exposed or raw" as with past techniques for grafting. This new technique greatly diminishes post operative discomfort. The stable band of attached tissue is placed around the tooth in such a way as to cover the exposed portion of the root and to establish tough tissue for longevity of the tooth.
After having a gum graft procedure, most of Dr. Primm's patients will be back to their normal routines one day after the procedure. Post operative discomfort is usually minimal.
Before & After Connective Tissue Grafting
This patient has root exposure making the teeth look long and pointed at the top. The root then recovered with connective tissue grafting, restoring the normal appearance.

Chocolate was born in 1992 and is a 24 year old gelding (male) donkey. He was rescued in 1995 with three other donkeys from a village near Blackwood in the Rhondda Valley. Standing at 10.2 hands, he was in a very poor condition, and was suffering from both worms and lice – classic problems associated with neglect by the owner. Upon arrival at the donkey sanctuary, all donkeys are given a thorough examination by a vet and are treated for any problems they may have.
Chocolate is now a very fit and well donkey, who lives a happy life at Island Farm.
Chocolate and three of his friends have had a taste of TV stardom. In the summer of 1997, they were involved in a day's filming of the BBC1 children's series The Phoenix and the Carpet. The donkeys were featured in a scene set in an Indian market in 1903 – despite all the cameras, lights and even wind machines, Chocolate and friends behaved impeccably on a most interesting and enjoyable day.
He also attends many country shows and steam rallies as part of our 'donkey working team' – where we give a display to show how donkeys were kept as working animals on farms and smallholdings. Chocolate really enjoys meeting new people and, like all our donkeys, loves a bit of fuss and attention.

This was originally a draft for a Ted Talk I was helping Rula Jebreal write…
I argue that the Middle East is in fact democratizing despite the continued violence, economic stagnation and constance of totalitarianism. The definition for this purpose is a political transition that allows the citizenry representation, education, human rights and the ability to affect change within the system. The argument is that representative governance is a naturally beneficial and economically efficient system. With this being said, governments are becoming more and more accountable to the demands of civil society, international economic variables and technological globalization. As a result, their trajectories, unless manipulated by unnatural factors, naturally flow towards democratization. The premise is that all systems everywhere are in the process of democratization whether or not they are early or late in the process and whether or not they intend to democratize.
The fact of the matter is that democratization is not an easy or nonviolent process. Whether one cites the forced removal of Native Americans, the enslavement of Africans in the West, Nazism in Germany and World War II, or the forced disappearances in Argentina, the process towards a democratic nation has historically witnessed tragedy. There are mature democracies and budding democracies, and transitional systems that are not democracies yet. This talk is meant to cite the idea that stagnant authoritarians forced the Islamist movement's emergence which shows a step towards the democratization of the Middle East. Political Islam like the ideology found in the book Milestone by Saed Qutb developed in oppressed, marginalized and brutalized prison spaces. The idea of a caliphate with God as the only ruler developed in refugee camps, impoverished street corners and shelled buildings. Authoritarian or oppressive dictators created environments where corruption, hunger and poverty where facts of every day life. The flawed systems which have led to arbitrary imprisonment, poverty, illiteracy, human rights atrocities and war, birthed a movement which challenges it to evolve from its stagnant totalitarianism (buttressed by the West) into a more violent, unstable but possibly representative system. Whether it is ISIS challenging Bashar al-Assad, they are doing so to challenge the system. Like the Muslim Brotherhood challenging Egypt's rulers, Hezbollah politically legitimizing itself into the Lebanese system, or even Hamas going to war against Israel, the Middle East's systems are being democratized by groups who have emerged as desperate by-products of very flawed systems. Their existence is a tool of democratization despite the fact that they are not democrats at all. Political Islam is the variable which will push these systems towards more representative governance. Political Islam exemplifies the fact that the democracies, which will inevitably sprout in the Middle East, will likely necessitate a space for Islamism making them less liberal than their Western counterparts.
While America is further along its own unique trajectory towards a more developed democracy, events like Trayvon Martin or Michael Brown's untimely murders, show that the system is flawed for at least one group of people. The events exemplify an exact space where America still needs to improve to fully represent and protect some parts of its citizenry. However, the Ferguson protests, the legal system and free media substantiate the fact that the American populace has a place in the system to challenge the flaws within that system. There are embedded checks to the American system, whether it is flawed or not. This space allows America to keep democratizing on its own unique trajectory. It allows it to evolve forward even if it stumbles backwards now and again.
Israel, a more limited democracy due to the Palestinian issue than America, both literally and figuratively created Hamas. While Israel is quite a mature democracy on the spectrum of Middle East systems, their inability to rectify the Palestinian issue within their territory substantiates the fact that their system is flawed. The idea is that although Israel is a democracy, Hamas' violence towards Israel exemplifies how the Israeli system has enough flaws within it to have created a group of people who feel marginalized and are willing to use violence against the system as a means towards freedom. The Palestinians are, in real terms, under the supervision of the Israeli state. When Israel funded and encouraged early Islamist activists in order to balance the PLO, they fueled the beginnings of Hamas. The idea is that Israel's engagement with the Palestinian issue is an example of an exact space where they need to continue to democratize. Hamas' existence, in essence, challenges the flaws of the Israeli system. It is a by-product of Israel's continued need to democratize. Hamas exists as both a product of Israel's flawed policies and as a challenge to them. With no space to be democratic within the system, Gazans, instead of only protesting, which they do, are recruited into a group of people that, whether intentionally or not, are challenging the flawed democracy of Israel. The result will inevitably be a new system that corrects this flaw even if it is violent, slow and tragic. ISIS is doing the same thing to the Shiite-Maliki Iraqi system, the Muslim Brotherhood has been challenging the Egyptian system since Nasser, and since Lebanon is a more mature democracy than Iraq or Egypt, Hezbollah has been able to "Lebanonize" itself by using the space within the Lebanese system (albeit a corrupt space) to challenge the flaws of the democratic system by being elected to 12 seats of the Parliament in Lebanon. None of these groups are democrats within themselves, but rather by-products of a flawed system that exist in order to challenge the system towards democratization. Their existence shows that the flawed systems which litter the Middle East are being challenged, and movement, although more violent, is a symptom of democratization rather than authoritarian stagnation.
Finally, the real question is what the West can do to help nurture the democratization that is trying to bud in the Middle East. Obviously the West wants to fulfill its self-interests while putting its energy towards creating a stable Middle East. The first thing to avoid is buttressing authoritarians like Bashar al-Assad when fighting groups like ISIS because it further marginalizes and radicalizes those moderates who are disgusted with Assad's decades of brutality. The West cannot ally with brutal dictators because that only serves to legitimize the Islamist narrative, which already enjoys a substantial amount of legitimacy since it is stooped in religious rhetoric. The West also cannot support policies like the separation wall in Israel or the systematic discrimination of Palestinians in Israel. It is these policies, which have led to Hamas, and the West is regarded as tacit in the oppression which has radicalized so many in the region. Also allies like Saudi Arabia have beheaded more people in the last month than terrorist groups like ISIS. The Saudis cite sorcery and drug smuggling for their brutal executions. Instead of giving billions in aid to dictators like Mubarak or Sisi in Egypt, or the al-Saud regime, the United States should be tracing their assets to make sure that money is being put into reformative policies—whether it is for education, redistribution of wealth or the development of civil society. The West must use its money, as does the federal system within the US towards states, to incentivize behavior. It can constitutionally do this within its own system, so it should do this foreign politically.
Secondly, the West must be recruiting moderate Muslims, Arabs and Middle Easterners into their intelligence networks in order to capitalize on this human resource. The fact of the matter is that the US has done rather poorly in foreseeing the political catastrophes within and coming out of the Middle East. It needs experts willing to advise its intelligence networks on the informational value and misguidance of sectarianism, sectarian alliances, and how money can be used to incentivize change. The United States and the rest of the West must understand that they can accelerate tension instead of mitigate it. This is what happened in Iraq which saw the undercutting of Sunni power to funnel it to the Shiites which has effectively led to ISIS. The truth is that military intervention only exacerbates the complex frameworks which lead to civil strife. Intervention has historically exacerbated Islamism instead of quelling it. Militaries do not succeed in creating political or philosophical change which is precisely what needs to be nurtured and kindled in the Middle East. The democracy that will bud in the region will be unique to its values. Representational governance is possible in the Middle East, so is higher education, the redistribution of wealth and a culture where civil society has space to develop. However, it is likely that the type of democracy that sprouts will need to incorporate space for Islamism. There has been and seems to continue to be a fundamental inability for secular state systems to include Islamism; that, ultimately, democratization pushes Islamists towards greater illiberalism. In Egypt, a pretty conservative Muslim country, majorities support Islamic law (Sharia law), as a primary source of law. It derives criminality, gender inequality and gives religious leaders incredible space to draft legislation. The fact of the matter is that there is popular demand for this. Since that is true, democratization equals applying this. Democracy developing means that the Muslim brotherhood no longer holds the monopoly on votes of the Islamist minded. They are in competition with other Salafi parties that have dragged the center-right towards the very right. What about Tunisia where Ennahda stepped down? If Islamists there want them back they will be voted in and they will likely go after a similar agenda. On the one hand, certain rights for liberal secularists are non-negotiable, while the religious right want the state to propagate a value system that reflect Islam's ideals. So secularists think everyone can be happy in their system, but Islamists cannot be fully expressed in a state system that is not Muslim. If the Middle East democratizes, then it needs to incorporate Islamist parties and in doing so leave room for illiberalism. It might be a fact that democracy in the Middle East is impossible without Islamists. It is a fact that political reform must accompany economic reforms.
Thirdly, we need to counter extremism with the Kerry Initiative. Three hundred million dollars need to be funneled into a public relations campaign in the Middle East. The Soviets did this in Central Asia and when they broke from the USSR, there was minimal violence because of the high level of ethnographic research that had been done. This can be done with imams, scholars, media talent, journalists, and consulting groups like Beyond Reform & Development in Lebanon. Every diplomatic tool needs to be sourced in order to use a carrot and stick strategy. Ultimately, the Middle East began democratizing in a more tangible manner in 2011. The result will not be a Western democracy and it won't be governance like those in East Asia. It will be unique to the Middle East and the values which come natural to it. The point is that the Middle East is democratizing in its own way. I have no projection on whether they will be democracies, nor which variables like outside economic manipulation will hinder it or accelerate it towards evolution. However, what is going on in the Middle East, while violent and tragic, is a symptom of democratization and not just the same old story.

Retinol is just about everyone's favorite thing. (Not mine; mine is cheap champagne, but I digress.)
At least one person asks every day about how to use retinol products. Retinol is one of the most widely-touted ingredients for keeping skin looking young and fresh. It's also the only ingredient found in topical skincare products that will actually remove a fine line and lessen a wrinkle, not just minimize its appearance and stop it from progressing.
A: I'm sorry, but probably not. As I am definitely not a medical professional or any sort of expert on pregnancy, I will advise you to talk to your OB/GYN about it, but because retinol penetrates so deeply into the layers of skin, it is not recommended for use while you're pregnant.
Though your body (and baby!) need you to take a little break from intense, active products like retinol, you can still use exfoliation and anti-aging products! I'd recommend making a temporary switch to some other exfoliating, anti-aging things like Mario Badescu Glycolic Acid Toner and Dermalogica Skin Resurfacing Cleanser. These both contain active ingredients that are safe for use during pregnancy, so you don't have to worry about both growing a brand new human and getting clogged pores.
A: Yes, but. Because these pads are also very potent, they are not for layering with prescription-strength retinol products.
You could certainly alternate days for your retinol products, and that's usually what I recommend doing, especially if your skin is already used to a particular product. If you are interested in switching your retinol entirely, discuss with your dermatologist the merits of cancelling your prescription in favor of purchasing a quality over-the-counter regimen. For example, Dr. Dennis Gross has an entire product family of Ferulic Acid + Retinol products. Skinceuticals has several products that complement the effects of their Retinol 0.5% or 1.0%. Dermalogica's AGE-Smart line should all partner nicely with their Overnight Retinol Repair.
A: Absolutely not. Your skin and your skincare regimen are all yours, my friend. Though I recommend a retinol for a lot of people, when it comes down to it, I currently only use the Dr. Gross F+R pads as my retinol product. That's not to say I won't use a retinol more regularly eventually, but I also know that I already use products that work for my skin and give me plenty of benefit. It's more important to be taking care of your skin at all than it is to add in another active ingredient for the sake of adding another active ingredient.
If you're not already using good skincare in a clear and consistent routine, you need to start there. Begin at the beginning, and when you get to the end…well, there isn't really an end to good skincare. It's more like a train you add boxcars onto as you pick up more years. If you are already using great skincare, keep doing so! If you're feeling like your skincare has sort of stagnated, do some research into how to properly change it up. It's never too late for great skincare…especially when retinol's involved!
Retinol is meant to be used for treatment in the evenings, on clean, dry skin. Apply retinol before applying your other nighttime skincare products, and be sure to use sun protection the next morning.

In Memory of
Brittany Ann Babinski
November 11, 1991 - August 7, 2013
Babinski, Brittany Ann
November 11, 1991 - August 7, 2013
(Age 21)
Brittany Ann Babinski came into this world on November 11, 1991 as a beautiful 9lbs. 4oz baby and was cruelly taken from us on August 7, 2013. Brittany would often take care of her older brother by making sure that he received the same treats and got to go on the same adventures with her even as a young toddler.
That concern for others stayed with her and has carried through to each of her siblings, her cousins, her friends and each child she worked with. Brittany had an intrinsic shine that allowed her to overlook the flaws and seek the good in every person she met.
Brittany grew up in Spokane, Washington; graduated from West Valley High School and moved onto Central Washington University. Brittany loved to dance. She was a very successful Scottish Highland dancer. She touched many lives across the Country and Canada through dance. Our Highland Community had a huge impact on Brittany. Her dance shaped her beautiful personality. Between dance and her family, she was in a constant state of happiness. Her smile was contagious and she was known by that beautiful smile.
Brittany leaves behind her parents, John and Janelle Babinski; her siblings, Christopher, Brandon, Daniel, Tyler, Zackary and Cortnie; her boyfriend, Jared Flood; grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, and many friends. Brittany touched the hearts of many lives and will be missed by all.
A Memorial Service celebrating Brittany's life will be held in the Hazen and Jaeger Valley Funeral Home's Colonial Chapel, 1306 N. Pines Road, Spokane Valley, WA, on Thursday, August 15, 2013, at 2:00pm. Donations in Brittany's name can be made at Banner Bank and Numerica.

"Everyone loves vampires, and sometimes they want to know what's it's like to be one."Vampiric Touch is a fourth-level Death Magic spell in Heroes of Might and Magic IV that costs eight spell points and causes the target to regain one hit point for every two points of damage that they inflict in combat.
Vampiric Touch grants the regenerative power of vampirism to any creature. The healing that this spell provides can even revive slain members, bolstering a stack back to its original size even after casualties are sustained, so long as the stack is not entirely wiped out.
In order to feed from their enemies, your enchanted unit must be fighting in melee, and must be attacking something with life force. elementals, constructs, and undead provide no healing.
In no case can this spell increase a stack beyond the size it had when the spell was cast on it.
Because the amount of healing depends on the amount of damage inflicted, the spell is most effective when powerful units beat up on units with low defense.
The best blessing in the game, this spell makes a sufficiently powerful stack virtually unbeatable. This is best cast very early in the battle on level 4 creatures. The mantis is propably one of the best choices, being very mobile and having the first Strike ability. The hydra isn't too bad option either, with Multiple Attack and No Retaliation abilities.

Two Benefits of First Position Commercial Mortgages
Barry Kornfeld
An experienced financial advisor with nearly three decades in the field, Barry M. Kornfeld leads First Financial Tax Group, a Boca Raton, Florida-based firm he co-founded. In his role, Barry M. Kornfeld provides a range of tax and income-planning services and focuses on first position commercial mortgage notes, or FPCMs.
In this era of low interest rates, it can be difficult to increase value for investors looking for higher returns with traditional products. Consequently, first position commercial mortgage lending is becoming a more attractive option for investors who want higher rates of return than those offered by the stock or bond markets, but who also want the security of having a measure of protection by having the first lienholder position on these high-value, underlying commercial real estate assets.
Another reason that first position commercial mortgages are a good value is because they have a relatively short (one-year) term, which means that an client's funds aren't tied up for a significant period of time. Typically, the client receives interest-only payments throughout the year and then the full amount of the principal is returned upon maturity.

Banks have discovered that it is better to give than to receive. Receiving a home through foreclosure has proven expensive for the lender. According to Freddie Mac, an average foreclosure costs a bank $60,000. Instead, bottom-line sensitive institutions are giving cash incentives to encourage homeowners to cooperate with a short sale. A short sale is a sale in which the bank agrees to let a house sell for less than the amount of their outstanding loan.
- Bank of America is offering 5k-30k
- Chase is offering 10k-55k on their older WAMU products.
- Wachovia and Wells Fargo Financial: 5-15k
In addition, the Home Affordable ForeclosureAlternatives (HAFA) program provides $3,000 in relocation assistance at the close of an FHA short sale.
Don't Sell Yourself Short
The summer market has been sizzling and one surprising beneficiary has been sellers who had assumed they were in for a short sale. Some recently listed "short sales" have received multiple offers. Through the miracle of competition, the price has been driven up enough in some instances to bridge the loan gap and turn the short sale into a traditional sale. This is great news for sellers' resulting credit. Don't assume your house is underwater. The tides are turning.

In the 1980s, Kevin Howard started buying residences, repairing them up, and leasing them out. That rental income let him leave his task at 55.
Do you imagine leaving full-time work behind at 60, and even faster? In CASH's 2014 Retirement Guide, you'll discover the 5 vital policies for managing very early retirement– policies constructed on difficult lessons from current years and brand-new thinking about investing.
Guideline 5: A second paycheck is available in useful
No concern, selecting up a part-time job after you walk away from 9-to-5 work will alleviate the pressure on your finances. Which's the plan for numerous: Three-quarters of workers think they will have a job in retirement, a May Gallup survey discovered.
It's not practically the cash. In a study of 44- to 70-year-olds by the second-act job site Encore.org, a third of those who wish to work part-time mentioned enjoyment as the reason.
But reality does not match expectations. In EBRI's 2013 Retirement Confidence Study, just 25 % of retired people report ever having actually worked for pay after calling it an occupation.
Would-be senior citizens are often unrealistic about landing significant part-time work, says Colorado planner Leitz. Lining up a 15- to 20-hour-a-week task sounds excellent, but there aren't too lots of stimulating and well-paying tasks in professional fields that allow that. "Flexibility is great for you, however not truly for employers," states Leitz.
What to do
Choose jobs, not a job. Even when firms don't desire a 20-hour-a-week senior staffer, they still could have high-level work that has to get done. Set yourself approximately be the consultant they employ, says Dick Dawson of CareerCurve, a coaching firm for 55-plus employees.
Related: Will you have enough to retire?
Start where you're known: your old workplace and your network. Keep going to industry events and look for specialists who do similar work and might hear of tasks they cannot take. Visit elance.com and peopleperhour.com, which match companies with freelancers in fields such as marketing, composing, and design.
Make your pastime pay. Working doesn't need to imply sticking with the exact same occupation. Prior to retiring at 58, Susan Morgan Hoth was a high school teacher in Richmond who invested summertimes painting silk headscarfs. As she approached retirement, she began offering her scarves online through sites like Etsy.
Her business nets about $4,000 a year, enough to let Hoth, now 64, splurge more. "It assists me pay for things I would not spend cash on otherwise," she states.
Similarly, you could find that a part-time retail task that matches your interests– in a golf store, say, or a health-food shop– is all you should pad your income. Price cuts on eco-friendlies costs or natural granola are an included reward.
Don't get too comfortable. A lot can happen over 40 years, from a financial pinch to dullness. So even if you don't work out of eviction, keep yourself employable. That suggests maintaining professional qualifications, following modifications in your market, and remaining in touch with former colleagues.
Think way ahead. Many very early retirees plant the seeds for a second paycheck well before retirement. One means to do that is by investing in rental realty. Hearts & & Wallets found that 27 % of those who successfully retired before 62 went that route.
Related: Can you retire early?
Rental earnings is what made it possible for Kevin Howard, 57, to leave his full-time task as a procurement manager for Boeing 2 years ago. In the mid-1980s he began rehabbing and leasing homes. The residential properties– three in Seattle, where he lives, and one in his previous hometown of Houston– provide half his yearly $140,000 income (the rest is a pension and savings).
Still, "I do not want to fix plumbing as I get older," he says. He plans to offer his Houston residence soon and the others within 5 years.
Now, instead of dealing with aerospace jobs, Howard is learning to play the standing bass. He's clocked 14,000 miles in 26 states on his bike, and takes his VW Vanagon camper to blues celebrations.
"I worked for 30 years," Howard states. "I want an additional 30 years doing the things I desire to do."
EVEN MORE: New rules for very early retirement
Rule 1: Early retired people: Do not fear losing your medical insurance
Policy 2: Getting ready to retire? Save more, invest less
Policy 3: Utilize your house to increase retirement savings
Guideline 4: Get the first decade of retirement right
|Work part-time
|Retire fully

Being a soldier is nowhere near as easy-going as the general public thinks it is. Certainly, living conditions are remarkably better, but at what cost exactly? Your life for one thing, should Titans ever breach the walls again. It is a thankless job; only the children gaze in awe at you as you walk the streets. The adults scoff and snort behind your backs, sometimes right where you can see it, and claim you do nothing but steal their tax money.
These are the sorts of things going through your mind as you sit in the mess hall, stirring your stew idly with your spoon. It has long since cooled down enough to eat, but you lack the appetite. It is sad that you cannot bring yourself to eat when a few years ago, everybody was lucky to have even a bread roll to last them the day. Things really have changed since then.
"You look glum." Eren speaks to you as he takes his seat on the next table, Armin and Mikasa following suit. You look up at him with a questioning gaze. Had you really been that obvious about it? You flash him a crooked smile.
"Just... y'know, thinking about things."
"Oh yeah?" Eren takes a generous bite of his bread. "About what?"
You take a moment to consider your answer.
"About how you got your ass handed to you by Annie today. Again."
If there was any sort of concern driving Eren's curiosity regarding you tonight, it dissipates soon enough, and he rips the crusty end of his bread roll off to throw at your head. The morsel of food never hits its mark however, as Jean happened to be walking past at that exact moment. His demeanour appeared somewhat high-strung as he walked (as he tended to be around Mikasa), and seeing the scrap of food fly past him startled him enough for him to drop his tray, which clattered noisily.
You watched, honestly amused, as Jean grabbed Eren by the collar, yelling comically about wasting food and how he did that on purpose.
"Like hell I did!!" Eren always had trouble keeping his temper in check. "I know what the fuck starving feels like, you don't have to fucking tell me twice to be careful with this stuff!!"
"Careful? Says the guy who can't pick a fight to save his life. How many times have you been beaten by Annie now, huh?"
You see Mikasa rising from her seat to quell the fight, but you beat her to the punch with your own well-aimed morsel of bread. It flies in a neat little arc to hit Eren right between the eyes. His reaction, a series of utterly confused blinks, makes you laugh, and with his free hand, he gropes around his table for the remainder of his roll so that he may return the favour. Jean takes this opportunity to tug Eren off balance, so his throw misses completely, bouncing off your table to hit Reiner on the back of the head.
It doesn't take long for the entire mess hall to erupt into a mass food fight, and you're fairly sure everybody's crows of laughter can be heard all across the compound. After shoving Bertholdt into Jean who (somehow) grabs the taller boy and forces him into a headlock, you seek shelter under one of the tables with Armin who's covering his ears as if that alone will block out the ruckus happening all around him. And there, you happily wait with him until Instructor Shadis kicks the door open, demanding for everybody to shut the fuck up and line up outside.
As punishment, everybody in the room was sentenced to one meal a day for the next month.
Yes, being a soldier is nowhere near as easy-going as the general public thinks it is.

Butterfly Transition in 6 Weeks w/Diana R. Ramsey course is how you will take back control of your life and free yourself from FEAR|DOUBT & SELF- SABOTAGE.
- Struggling with what you want to do with your life?

- Are you you overwhelmed and weary?
- Does your past pain, hurt, and history still haunt you?
- Fear, doubt & self-sabotage ruining your life?
It's time to stop carrying the dead weight of depression, pain, and stress.
Butterfly Transition in 6 Weeks w/Diana R. Ramsey course is ready to change your life, but first you've got to change your actions. Stop sitting in stuck, depression, and your past. Pre-Register and grab your seat in the first 2017 Transition course. Don't wait to claim your seat to transition, only only 50 seats per class, and they will sell out.
What Are Women Saying About Diana R. Ramsey and Butterfly Transition in 6 Weeks?
"Before BT6 I was confused and needed clarity. I learned that I was in my current state because I needed time to decide what I really wanted to do before moving forward. I learned I wasn't stuck. I just needed the time and space for clarity.
It was a breakthrough to discover that I was right where I needed to be and not behind like I feared.
Other women can benefit because BT6 helps you go deep within yourself and pull out the greatness inside. It's for women that are ready for the next level. None of us can get to the next level with the same level thinking. And BT6 is the Next Level Ahead. BT6 helped me realize I had the ability to decide what I wanted to do and what I want to be, no one else. And what I'm going through now is important for my growth."
"Before BT6 I had an idea of where I was going, but I didn't know where to begin. I saw it as an opportunity to transition both inside and out. I learned that my transition was much deeper than hair. It was about growing from the inside. Being in BT6 helped me allow myself to be free!
If people are open and true to themselves, they can benefit from BT6. If they struggle with their identity and want to know who they really are, BT6 can help.
BT6 is excellent and helped me learn so much about myself. I now know my strengths more than my weaknesses"
"I was already in transition, but overwhelmed and weary. I wanted help to get through it. BT6 showed me I had more strength than I realized. I was able to make a plan and stick to it.
BT6 serves as a step by step guide in moving through the stages of life that call for change. It breaks everything down and engages you in thinking about how you can move through change in ways that are not so overwhelming. And the Facebook Group is like a support system that expands on everything. It's perfect for women who KNOW they need change, but aren't exactly sure how to go about it. It's for folks who are used to working hard, but tend to work hard for others and not themselves.
You are defined by where you invest your time, money, and efforts:
Nothing speaks to the character of a person like what they stand behind and allow to infiltrate their life. I want you to ask yourself one question before you pre-register for your seat in this course, how much did I spend on my self-development last year? Too often we are not investing in ourselves enough to see the return on our hard work. But today that all changes when you pre-register for the June 2017 course; Butterfly Transition in 6 Weeks w/Diana R. Ramsey course.
Pre-Registration has opened two months early for you to financially plan for your seat in the course; starting in June 2017. Oh, and don't forget, there are only 50 seats per course. So don't wait. Pre-Register for your seat today.
Butterfly Transition in 6 Weeks w/Diana R. Ramsey is an intensive, hands on, action packed eLearning course. This course isn't for anyone nor everybody. Because we understand not everyone is working on their self-development, you will receive 100% money back, guaranteed: If you finish Week 1: Start in The Mirror and for any reason don't believe you have the diligence to continue. This course is about you doing the work, if you find you are not willing to do so, we want you to know it's ok and that your money will be refunded.
P.S.: If you don't jump on the opportunity to put you first, my fear is that you never will. This will result in you carrying your heaviest fears, doubts, and self-sabotaging abilities around with you all of your life. Your final result is the death of the person you were meant to be but too afraid to invest in. Today, that doesn't get to be your story. Today you get to choose you and your Butterfly Transition. Claim your seat in the upcoming course that will starting in June 2017.

Butterfly Transition: TRANSFORM
Week 1: Start in the Mirror
In order to begin this process you must first start in the mirror, which is the beginning of self-reflection and self-awareness. This week you will be able to identify what a transition is and define your own.
Week 2 Identify, Confront, & Get over It
We all must identify our fears, foundational cracks, learn ways to confront them and inevitably get over them. This week you will learn how to identify, confront, and get over the things holding you back.
Butterfly Transition: EVOLVE
Week 3 Embracing Change While Learning to Endure

Proper Maintenance Maximizes Your Zero Turn Mower's Performance
Performing the proper service on your zero turn before, during and after the mowing season will help increase performance, reduce downtime, prolong it's lifespan and ensure a consistent cut quality. This will also lead to increased customer satisfaction; anything that is well taken care of will last longer. It's a win win for both consumers and manufacturer's. Consider buying a mower lift if you don't already have one. They make maintenance much easier. Check out our "MoJack Lift For Tractors and Zero Turn Mowers article" to see how using a mower lift could make maintaining your mower easier.
Table of Contents
Train Yourself
Prior to using your zero turn mower for the first time and even before each cutting season for that matter is a recommendation from professional landscapers to read the Operators Manual. Proper operation of a zero turn will increase safety and prolong the life of your mower.
Pre-Season Maintenance
Performing pre-season maintenance will ensure that your zero turn mower runs efficiently and safely.
-Make sure the battery is fully charged and to reconnect it thereafter.
-Check tire pressure for proper inflation(consult operator's manual for specific recommended PSI).
-Grease all fittings that require it.
-Make sure all moving parts are free of debris.
-Change the fuel filter.
-Change or clean the air filter.
-Check tension on all belts.
-Check all fluids in the machine and change if dark or burnt smelling.
-Check the cutting deck level, pulleys and spindles are moving freely, underneath of deck is clean, blades are sharp and balanced.
-Replace spark plugs if needed, do not clean dirty plugs; Replace with brand new ones.
-Adjust parking brake per operator's manual recommendation.
-Add fresh fuel (old fuel should have been drained at the end of previous season).
-Start the engine and check to ensure everything is operating properly.
-Now your grass cutting season can begin.
During The Season
Professional landscapers recommend that periodic maintenance is performed at specified service intervals per the operator's manual. It's important that throughout the cutting season you are paying close attention to the following:
-Check engine oil level before each use.
-Check hydraulic fluid monthly or more frequently if used several times per week.
-Before each use visually inspect the mower for signs of damage or leaks.
-Check tire pressure monthly or more frequently if used several times per week.
-Check air filters every 50 hours or more in dusty conditions; Replace if necessary. Do not use high pressure compressed air on paper filters.
-Grease fittings per operator's manual maintenance service intervals.
-Check blades sharpness and balance often. Dull blades will tear up grass causing brown spots and can increase the chance for disease.
-If blades are excessively worn or bent then replace them.
-It's not a bad idea to keep maintenance records of your mower to ensure your following all service intervals per operator's manual.
-Check belts regularly for proper tension and damage such as cracking or missing chunks.
Keep It All Clean
After each use it is good practice to take a blower or air compressor and blow off the entire mower. Keeping the belts free of debris mean they'll be less likely to be damaged. Keeping the engine clean helps increase air flow, reduce over heating which helps prevent premature wear.
Visually Inspect Your Lawn
It's a good idea to periodically inspect your lawn looking at it from different directions to check cut quality. This will give you a good idea of possible problems if cut quality is poor. Check for the following which may mean there is an issue with the cutting deck. Are there ridges at the edges of the mowing lines? Are there skipped spots between blades? Are grass tips cut cleanly and even? After performing these checks a few times it'll become second nature. Soon you'll develop an eye for ensuring the possible cut quality just like the professionals.
After The Season
After the cutting season is over there are some critical things to do and look for before letting your zero turn mower rest for the winter. Professional landscapers recommend the following:
-Drain all leftover fuel from the carburetor, tank(s) and fuel lines. Stabilizer's can stop fuel from going stale but that is not guaranteed. Simply running the engine out of fuel does not mean all of the fuel is gone, There could still be some lingering so you need to manually drain it all.
-Blow off the entire mower, cutting deck, wheels, fans, belts, engine, under the seat, literately every part of the mower.
-After blowing away all debris clean mower with a mild detergent and rinse with low pressure water.
-Remove spark plugs and place a couple of drops of oil into each hole. Rotate the engine a couple of times by hand if possible then reinstall the spark plugs. This will help protect the cylinder walls and top of pistons from developing surface rust while in storage.
-Inspect every part of the mower for possible damage.
-Check all moving parts to ensure they all have proper grease or lubrication so fittings are not ran dry during storage.
-Wintertime is the best time to address any issues you find. There are many dealers that will run specials during the winter months. Not only can you save money but you'll be able to have your mower ready for spring.
-Touch up any surfaces that are scratched or chipped to prevent rust from starting.
-Charge the battery ever few weeks especially if your in a colder climate. Weak batteries freeze at lower temperatures and will no longer perform 100% after that.

We want to be wowed when it comes to the game art and the content. But is it the only thing that is selling games now days? Would a game that has a great concept and fun game play be much less because of a lack of good graphics and components?
I believe there needs to be a balance to game play and components. When you are buying a game, you are purchasing an experience that should speak to both the players and watchers.
Companies that take the time thinking through the components and deciding if they are visually appealing go far. Take Stonemaier Games as example. They have made beautiful and functional games, and because of this have drawn a huge audience. In there most resent feature called Scythe, you see the artistic endeavour.
With the rise of Kickstarter powered board games it has become easier to discern quality of games based on a micro picture of a game and a title. Is this fair?
Last month I scrolled through all 618 games on Kickstarter and clicked on 12 games, because they had appeal in their art and game design. Is this a normal experience?
How important is game art to you, how many games have you turned down because of the art?

Happy Gaming and Merry Christmas

(Recasts to add details on Safra, Cutrale operations, deal rationale throughout)
By Olivia Oran and Greg Roumeliotis
Aug 11 (Reuters) - Juice maker Cutrale and investment firm Safra Group said on Monday they had offered to acquire U.S.-based Chiquita Brands International Inc in a $610.5 million cash deal that rivaled an all-stock agreement with Irish tropical fruit company Fyffes Plc.
Cutrale, based in Brazil, and Safra, a global banking and real estate group with strong roots in Brazil, said they were offering $13 per share in cash to Chiquita shareholders, a 29 percent premium to Chiquita's closing price on Friday.
Chiquita is attempting to close a merger with Fyffes, which the two companies announced in March. The combined market value of Chiquita and Fyffes is currently close to $1 billion.
Shares of Chiquita rose more than 30 percent in response to the competing offer. They ended the day at $13.30 on the New York Stock Exchange, above the offer price of $13, indicating that investors may expect a bidding war for the company. Shares of Fyffes fell more than 13 percent on Monday.
Faced with years of declining orange juice consumption globally, Cutrale is expanding into other geographies and products after venturing into grain trading in recent years. The presence of the conglomerate controlled by Brazilian-Lebanese financier Joseph Safra could give Cutrale the financial muscle it needs to outbid Fyffes, analysts said.
The Cutrales are extremely media-shy given the vast wealth they have acquired. They rose to prominence in the 1960s when they began to export orange juice concentrate to the United States after frost destroyed most of Florida's citrus crop.
The Safras stood out as a Brazilian family whose businesses grew transnational but also remained loyal to their local roots. While banking is the axis of his activities, Joseph Safra has for years diversified his wealth by investing in paper and pulp, global real estate, telecommunications and cattle ranching.
Joseph Safra is ranked as the world's 60th richest man with a net worth of $15.7 billion, according to Forbes Magazine.
Both groups said their proposal had been sent to Chiquita's board of directors and urged the company to enter negotiations that will lead to a definitive takeover agreement. They hope to have a response from Chiquita by Friday.
Timing for the new offer comes as Chiquita stabilizes its earnings and as a lawsuit accusing the company of funding a paramilitary group in Colombia was dismissed by a U.S. appeals court, according to a person familiar with the proposed deal. Shares of Chiquita have also fallen since the Fyffes deal was announced.
Under the deal with Fyffes, the new firm was expected to be listed in New York but domiciled in Ireland for tax purposes. Washington is trying to curb so-called inversions, in which U.S. corporations move their tax domiciles abroad to countries with a lower tax rate.
Spokesmen for Chiquita were not immediately available for comment. Safra, Cutrale and Fyffes declined to comment.
The $7 billion global banana market is controlled by Chiquita, Fresh Del Monte Produce Inc, Hawaii-founded Dole Food Company and Fyffes.

5 Bedroom Essentials For The Home
The New Year is upon us and you guessed it– it's time for a change.
Now, you might be thinking you already have your New Year's todo's ready to go, but consider sprucing up the most important room in your home– your bedroom!
Here are five bedroom essentials to help give you the inspiration you need.
Furniture That Maximizes Space
There are definitely items you can do without in your bedroom. It's never too early to start your spring-cleaning and start doing away with all the items you meant to get rid of. Purchase furniture that maximizes space. A bed frame with drawers or a headboard with a bookshelf are great ways to maximize space. If your style is big and bold, opt for a larger piece of furniture to store all of your items (ensure this piece of furniture can hold most of your storage items).
Lighting is such an important part of what makes or breaks a bedroom. If you've never thought about making use of your windows, now is the time. Make sure to open the blinds in your room every morning. All the natural light can make your room feel like it's doubled in size. You can also add extra lights to accessorize, which in turn creates a warm ambiance.
A Place To Sit That's Not The Bed
Extra seating in the bedroom adds that extra flare and style. You can find tons of great storage ottomans for any room. This can double as a place to sit and read and as another storage piece to maximize space in your bedroom. If you're looking for something more stylish and antique, try adding a bench.
If your bedroom's on the plain side and you're not sure what else to do to spruce it up, try adding a rug. A rug instantly gives your room pizzazz. No matter the type of flooring you have in your bedroom, a rug adds a lot from a design perspective, not to mention how great it feels to step on a warm, fuzzy fabric during the winter mornings.
Once you've maximized all the space in your bedroom, it's important to customize the items to your liking. Try adding one of your favorite art pieces or photographs. Not only would this personal touch look great, but it'll also add sentimental value. You can get creative with the décor and add accents to your walls or even include additional mirrors.
Your bedroom is a place you make your own. It's never too late to make changes.
Take the initiative and try some of these ideas to improve your room this year. For more ideas on how to update your modern oasis, check out 4 fall décor pieces to update your home.

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2017
Anglo-Saxon tribes ruled over Britain. The name Answorth was originally derived from a family having lived in the area of Ainsworth in the parish of Middleton. Some instances, generally the Hainsworth spelling, come from Hainworth in West Yorkshire, derived in turn from an Old English personal name Hagena; while other instances of the name came from Ainsworth in the parish of Middleton, in Lancashire, from the Old English personal name Ægen.
Answorth Early Origins
Lancashire, the place name is derived from Haineswrthe which dates back to c. 1200. [1]CITATION[CLOSE]

Answorth Spelling Variations
Answorth Spelling Variations
Before English spelling was standardized a few hundred years ago, spelling variations of names were a common occurrence. Elements of Latin, French and other languages became incorporated into English through the Middle Ages, and name spellings changed even among the literate. The variations of the surname Answorth include Ainsworth, Ainsworthy, Aynsworth, Answorth and others.

The motto was originally a war cry or slogan. Mottoes first began to be shown with arms in the 14th and 15th centuries, but were not in general use until the 17th century. Thus the oldest coats of arms generally do not include a motto. Mottoes seldom form part of the grant of arms: Under most heraldic authorities, a motto is an optional component of the coat of arms, and can be added to or changed at will; many families have chosen not to display a motto.
Motto: Spero meliora
Motto Translation: I hope for better things.

Press Release:
1st Case Report of Using Single-Site Cannulation ECMO to Treat SynCardia Total Artificial Heart Patient Published in Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery
Doctors at EJK Duisburg in Germany Successfully Treated Respiratory Distress Syndrome in a 55-Year-Old Male Suffering from Refractory Cardiogenic Shock
TUCSON, Ariz. – August 21, 2013 – SynCardia Systems, Inc. (www.syncardia.com), manufacturer of the world's first and only FDA, Health Canada and CE (Europe) approved Total Artificial Heart, announced today that doctors at EJK Duisburg in Germany have published the first case report detailing use of single-site cannulation with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) to successfully treat adult respiratory distress syndrome in a patient implanted with the SynCardia temporary Total Artificial Heart. The case report was published in the August issue of the Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery.
Before the Total Artificial Heart implant, the 55-year-old patient was supported by veno-arterial ECMO due to refractory cardiogenic shock and severe respiratory failure. Once the Total Artificial Heart was implanted, the patient was weaned from extracorporeal circulation. However, due to pre-existing respiratory failure, doctors decided to implement veno-venous ECMO using a single-site bicaval dual-lumen catheter placed in the right internal jugular vein instead of conventional dual-site cannulation.
"In this context single-site veno-venous cannulation proved to have numerous advantages: it is simple to perform, it minimizes the risk of cannula dislodgement during patient care, reduces the risk of catheter related infections and finally allows early sternum closure," according to the report written by Dr. Sotirios Spiliopoulos, surgeons Dr. Guenes Dogan and Dr. Dilek Guersoy, intensivist Dr. Maria Rosario Serrano and Prof. Reiner Koerfer and Prof. Gero Tenderich, the implanting surgeon.
"Single-site venous cannulation could be a reasonable alternative to conventional cannulation for ECMO support in SynCardia Total Artificial Heart patients with an adult respiratory distress syndrome," the report concluded.
"This is an excellent case report," said Dr. Francisco Arabia, who has implanted more than 100 SynCardia Total Artificial Hearts. Arabia co-authored one of the articles cited in the August case report. That article dealt with parallel ECMO and artificial heart applications. He has proctored the first implant at more than a dozen hospitals qualifying these centers of excellence to become SynCardia Certified Centers.
