The Kitchen Designer has come through again with some great tips for preparing your kitchen to show during an open house.
It takes more than just wiping down the counters and clearing the sink.
* When showing your home, turn on all the lights in the kitchen
* Clean the windows inside and out as well as window treatments if necessary
* Declutter your counters. I'll say it again. Declutter your counters!
* Clean and organize the interiors of your cabinets – people will look inside
* Pay particular attention to organizing a food/pantry cabinet – this can look surprisingly good if shapes and sizes are arranged well
* Clean your floors
* Do touch ups wherever you can – walls, floors, cabinets, etc.
* Declutter your collections. Again…declutter your collections!
* After decluttering counters and collections, take a fresh look and add in a very few items if desired. Those items should be proportionate to the space. Do not put a small item on top of cabinets, use a larger item for better balance and proportion
* Make sure your picture(s) of the kitchen includes a wide angle shot and the kitchen is neat and decluttered.

"The legalization of the termination of pregnancy is none other than the authorization given to an adult, with the approval of an established law, to take the lives of children yet unborn and thus incapable of defending themselves. It is difficult to imagine a more unjust situation, and it is very difficult to speak of obsession in a matter such as this, where we are dealing with a fundamental imperative of every good conscience — the defense of the right to life of an innocent and defenseless human being."- St. John Paul II

SALEM, NH -- (Marketwired) -- 03/25/14 --
ProPhotonix Limited ("ProPhotonix" or "the Company") PRELIMINARY RESULTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2013 ProPhotonix Limited (London Stock Exchange - AIM: PPIX and PPIR, OTC: STKR), a designer and manufacturer of LED illumination systems and laser diode modules with operations in Ireland and the United Kingdom, today announces its unaudited preliminary results for the year ended December 31, 2013. Annual General Meeting The Company will hold the Annual General Meeting of the Shareholders on May 22, 2014 at 10:00 AM London Summer Time at the offices of K&L Gates LLP, One New Change, London EC4M 9AF. The Record date is set at April 7, 2014 for all shareholders of record. Financial Highlights - Revenue increased 12% to $15.6 million - Gross profit increased 38.6% to $6.0 million - Gross profit margin improved to 38.3% - Operating loss declined 62% to $1.2 million(1) - EBITDA loss declined 73.8% to $0.7 million(1) - Order bookings increased 17% to $17.6 million - Backlog at December 31, 2013 of $6.9 million grew 31% - Percentage revenue by market sectors: industrial 79%, medical 16%, and homeland security & defense 5% - Percentage revenue by geography: 52% Europe, 31% North America and 17% Rest of World - On June 20, 2013, the Company secured new loan financing with net availability of $2.5 million through an existing lender to the Company alongside a new lender. - On November 29, 2013, the Company entered into an amendment to an existing revolving credit facility with Barclays Bank to increase the existing credit facility from GBP650,000 ($1.1 million) to GBP1,400,000 ($2.3 million) and extending the duration through the minimum of November 30, 2015. - Available borrowing capacity of $1.8 million from its loan facilities at December 31, 2013 (1) Includes $582,000 non-recurring charges Tim Losik, President & CEO, Commented:"During 2013 the Company experienced an improvement in business activity with order bookings increasing 17% and the December 31, 2013 backlog up 31% from December 31, 2012; ending 2013 with a book-to-bill ratio of 1.13 (2012:1.08). Of particular note are the 69% increase in bookings and 40% growth in revenue for the Americas region which has been a significant regional growth focus. New customer activity is a cornerstone for our growth and I am pleased that we are continuously partnering with new customers. Revenue from new customers accounted for $1.5 million of total revenue growth across several market sectors, including: 3D Scanning for 3D printing, Warehouse Robotics, Transport Container Monitoring and Inspection, Medical Devices, UV curing, Aeronautics, and Industrial Automation and Inspection."The revenue increase and cost reductions resulted in dramatic improvement in operating performance and results. During the second half of 2013, we realized significant improvement in operating performance versus the first half 2013. Comparative improvements in the second half 2013 versus first half 2013 (excluding the restructuring and one-time charges of $582K in the first half) include: Operating loss decreased 84% narrowing from ($517,000) to ($82,000) and EBITDA improved 164% from a loss of ($275,000) to a positive EBITDA of $177,000. However, these improvements were somewhat offset by non-cash changes in foreign currency exchange rates and the resulting increase in material purchase prices, and shifts in product mix; thereby depressing second half gross profit. The improvements in second half operating income and EBITDA are primarily the result of reductions in general and administrative costs. We always seek to mitigate the effects of shifts in the revenue mix, but predicting and controlling this can be difficult." Full Year 2013 Financial Results Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2013 was $15.6 million, an increase of 12% compared with $13.9 million in 2012. Gross profit was $6.0 million compared to $4.3 million in 2012. Gross profit margin increased to 38.3% from 31.0% in 2012 due to a shift in product mix and an increase in volume. Operating expenses, excluding intangible amortization charges, totaled $7.0 million versus $7.3 million in 2012. Sales and marketing expenses decreased 12% in 2013 over 2012, while general and administrative and research and development expenses were approximately flat over the same period and include restructuring and one-time charges of $0.6 million taken in the first half of 2013. The operating loss was $1.2 million, as compared to a $3.1 million loss in 2012 and EBITDA was a loss of $0.7 million versus a loss of $2.6 million in 2012. Net loss was $1.2 million compared to the 2012 net loss of $2.9 million. Included in the operating expenses, operating loss and EBITDA is approximately $0.6 million of restructuring and one-time charges. Strategy and Markets ProPhotonix consists of two business units: an LED systems manufacturing business based in Ireland (Cork), and a laser modules production and laser diode distribution business located in the United Kingdom (Hatfield Broad Oak). Corporate headquarters and the North American sales activities are based in Salem, New Hampshire, USA. The fundamental strategy of the Company is growth in revenue through its existing customers, new customer activity, and new product and market expansion. ProPhotonix's short-term strategy is to reach sustained positive EBITDA, cash flow, and net income as soon as possible. These goals will be accomplished through a relentless focus on cost management and most importantly through revenue growth. ProPhotonix growth in the medium-term will be accomplished with new customer wins with the conversion of development orders into longer run orders, and also through expansion into new markets and with new products. In addition to the few important areas where we are currently focused, we will continuously evaluate additional high growth opportunities by geography and business line. ProPhotonix sells its products principally into three markets: industrial (primarily machine vision illumination), medical, and homeland security and defense. The Company foresees growth opportunities in all three markets it serves which are briefly described below: Industrial (Machine Vision) Within the industrial market, machine vision is the term used to describe computerized analysis for controlling manufacturing processes, for example automated inspection. In terms of quality and speed, lighting is often a critical component in machine vision and the Company manufactures both LED systems and lasers designed specifically for this market. The recently enhanced 3D Pro Laser line generatorsand improved LED line light family specifically address this market. Medical The Company has experienced successes in the medical (including dental) market and has gained a foothold in the market, supplying a variety of applications, with current customers including the world leader in stationary imaging equipment, a portable x-ray equipment manufacturer, a dental imaging manufacturer and also a pioneer in the manufacturing of devices offering eye tracking capability utilizing ProPhotonix's custom infrared LED arrays. The Company intends to broaden its product marketing effort in the medical field since it offers significant long-term revenue growth opportunities. Homeland Security & Defense LED systems, laser modules and laser diodes are used in a wide variety of applications in the security and defense fields. The Company currently supplies several defense sighting manufacturers in the US and Europe, as well as leading manufacturers of Auto Number Plate Recognition systems. This market offers significant growth opportunities for ProPhotonix over the next several years and the Company is currently marketing its laser and LED capabilities to additional security and optical character recognition systems companies in this market space. Outlook ProPhotonix begins 2014 with the strongest ever backlog at our business units and with the necessary funding in place to move forward in 2014. Included in 2013 bookings are about $800,000 of customer bookings relating to new customer projects (non-recurring engineering development), of which approximately $700,000 will be recognized revenue in 2014. We expect to begin shipping trial and production orders resulting from these projects during 2014 and thereafter. These potential high volume OEM (custom) applications include illuminators for the semiconductor, optical sorting, endoscopy, and vascular imaging markets. We look forward to another year of progress in 2014 and expect that first half revenue will be in the range of $7.8 and $8.2 million.

FOX 66 News at Ten
Three people have died following a shooting at a Detroit barbershop known for gambling, police said. Several other people were wounded, and a reason for the gunfire wasn't known.
Shots erupted Wednesday evening outside Al's Barber Shop on the city's east side. Nine people were struck, including two men who were inside the shop and died, police said.
Sgt. Mike Woody told The Associated Press on Thursday morning that a third person died at a hospital, but he didn't immediately have additional details. More information is expected to be released at a Thursday morning a news conference.
"We're not sure if this was over a bad debt. We have no idea," Police Chief James Craig said earlier. "We know it's a barbershop and gambling has occurred in this location."
The number of people believed shot had gone back and forth between nine and 10 following the shooting, but Woody said Thursday morning it was nine after investigators determined one person wasn't involved.
Police said two cars pulled up and people inside the vehicles started shooting at each other.
"Somehow someone shot into the building, and that's when people rushed out of the building and were running into other area businesses for cover," police spokeswoman Kelly Miner said Wednesday night.
Craig said those who were shooting "engaged a couple of victims" before "several shots were fired." He said it's not known if any of the victims fired back.
Police were looking for at least two people believed to have carried out the shooting, Miner said.
Craig said they also were trying to locate two vehicles that they think the shooters might have been using: a 2004 white Chevrolet Impala that possibly has a broken window and bullet holes in the back, and a 2004 black Impala.
Lorne Carter told the Detroit Free Press that he was smoking a cigarette against the wall of a nearby business when he heard what sounded like 30 to 40 shots.
"It sounded rapid," Carter said.
The barbershop is in a strip mall along a major road. Nearby businesses include a Chinese restaurant, auto repair shops and a convenience store.
Miner said police were interviewing witnesses.
After the shooting, Elaine Williams waited behind yellow crime tape that police had used to cordon off several blocks around the scene. Her 29-year-old son had gone to the barbershop for a haircut, and she was frantic, The Detroit News reported.
"Help me find my son," Williams cried.

A Tale of Two Teams for the Maryland Terrapins
After going 13-1 prior to conference play, the Maryland Terrapins are now sputtering as they navigate their way through the ACC schedule. Early in the year when teams largely play non-conference opponents, Maryland dominated the competition; their only loss coming to the defending national champion Kentucky Wildcats. In that time span, it looked as if head Coach Mark Turgeon had found the key to success for a Maryland program that found itself struggling in the last few years of former head coach Gary Williams' tenure. To some extent, he has found some things that work with his team.
As conference play is now in full swing, the Terps are showing a ton of potential, but they're obviously a team that's not ready to compete at a high level right now. Their roster is largely made up of freshman and sophomores, and they're earning some battle scars this season. Terps fans, however, should be very excited about the future.
Despite being one team in the non-conference and another team in-conference, the Terps are still 15-6 and have a shot to make the NCAA tournament if they can turn their season around. With the exception of their game against Duke, Maryland has been competitive in each of their games thus far this season. Wednesday night's loss to Florida State in Tallahassee surely hurt Maryland's cause. Although Maryland dominated much of the action on the road, they let their lead slip away and allowed Michael Snaer of FSU to hit another game winning buzzer beater.
Maryland must regroup quickly, because their season is far from over.

Will a very pregnant Catherine Zeta-Jones perform the nominated song "I Move On" with Renée Zellweger?Well, it depends on how much "razzle dazzle" the eight-months-pregnant Zeta-Jones can display (she's expecting her second child with Michael Douglas in the spring). According to Zeta-Jones' publicist Cece York, the mother-to-be and Zellweger HAVE been asked to sing at the show, and Zeta-Jones hasn't ruled out the idea of performing. "But the pregnancy is a huge consideration," York says. "[Catherine] will be giving birth shortly after – hopefully not AT – the Oscars." The larger problem might be the simple fact that it's a two-person number. Months ago, when asked by Entertainment Weekly how she felt about performing live, Zellweger remarked: "Oh, Jesus! It's not something I do easily in front of people." Could Zeta-Jones be left echoing her big "Chicago" number, "I Can't Do It Alone"? An announcement is expected within the week.

It is feared that the price of P&K fertilizer would double
A section of fertilizer companies has objected to a proposal by the fertilizer department for immediate stoppage of gas from KG-D6 to non-urea manufacturing units.
The objection comes after reported move by the Department of Fertilizer Joint Secretary Satish Chandra writing to Ministry of Petroleum & Natural Gas Joint Secretary P. K. Singh to stop supply of 0.5 million metric standard cubic metres per day (mmscmd) gas to phosphatic and potassic (P&K) fertilizer manufacturers and allocate all the sanctioned 31.5 mmscmd gas (for the sector) for manufacture of urea only.
The affected companies include Rashtriya Chemicals & Fertilizer (RCF), Gujarat State Fertilizers & Chemicals (GSFC) and Deepak Fertilizer and Petrochemicals Corporation Ltd. (DFPCL).
"We are surprised by this decision and want this to be reversed immediately. Stoppage of gas will make our operation unviable and if we pass on the additional burden of imported gas, the farmers cannot afford it," said a fertilizer company senior official.
"In such a scenario, over four million farmers will have to shift to use of urea, which will further create an imbalance in the soil. For better productivity and production all nutrients are essential and thus P&K plays a very important role," the official added.
It is feared that the price of P&K fertilizer would double from Rs.17,000 per tonne if the manufacturers import gas at international prices. All three companies manufacture 12 lakh tonnes of P&K fertilizer a year.
Industry officials said in case these companies stopped their P&K production, it would lead to increased usage of urea and imports of P&K. "We will get vulnerable to the vagaries of the rising international prices. The fertilizer industry is part of the priority sector and needs support to create soil balance," another official said.
The official said that the proposal to stop gas was outside the EGoM's (empowered group of ministers) mandate, and even the Supreme Court had restrained any order to be passed contrary to the EGoM's decision.
Earlier, several union ministers, including Sharad Pawar,Jena had strongly advocated for the supply of gas to P&K fertilizer units and even the fertilizer department has supported this view.
The EGoM had also recommended that instead of cutting the supply of gas to P&K units, mop-up of undue gains should be considered and had asked the Department of Fertilizer to prepare a framework for the same. The non-urea fertilizer companies are willing for the same rather than getting any supply at all.

Jenny Lewis, Tame Impala, the War on Drugs + More to Play Coachella Side Shows
"Localchella" has been announced!
"Localchella" has been announced!
News has broken that Aussie indie-rockers Tame Impala will release a brand-new album in 2015.
While some festivals have decided to wait till the new year to announce their initial lineups, Austin Psych Fest has already dropped a hefty list of artists.
This situation for Tame Impala es no bueno.
It's safe to say that a fair amount of modern psychedelic bands have been influenced at some point by the Flaming Lips.
One of our favorite bands, Arctic Monkeys, have done it again, this time with a stellar cover of Tame Impala's 'Feels Like We Only Go Backwards.'
Aussie rockers Tame Impala are drawing bigger and bigger crowds, and that made their recent rooftop performance for Los Angeles' ALT 98.7 something truly special to see. The show took place at the Hollywood Tower overlooking the Los Angeles skyline, and it gave a group of lucky radio winners a chance to catch the band in an intimate setting.
It doesn't matter if you're a fireman, a rockstar, a student, an athlete or a world traveler: The new BlackBerry Z10, a new ad tells us, is "built to keep you moving." The song heard in the commercial is Tame Impala's upbeat 'Elephant.'
Tame Impala's new 'Mind Mischief' video starts out in the the grand tradition of classics like Van Halen's 'Hot for Teacher' and the Police's 'Don't Stand So Close to Me': It features a young student in the time-honored roll of lusting after a teacher. But when the prep-school pupil follows his hottie instructor out to her car and the two share a smoke of some wacky tobaccy, things quickly switch over from sexy to psychedelic, as an animated world takes over.
Aussie psych rockers Tame Impala teamed up with directing duo Joe Pelling and Becky Sloan for a video for 'Feels Like We Only Go Backwards,' the latest single off their 'Lonerism' album. Like the song, the video is gorgeously tripped out, with an explosion of bright colors dancing, spinning and melting into each other, forming geometric shapes and floating through a time warp. Like, dig it, man.

The present article takes a critical look at the new humanitarian ideal and attempts to outline some of the predicaments the 'new humanitarianism' rhetoric is facing today. The first part of this paper gives a brief overview of classic and new humanitarianism, humanitarian practice and theory. The second part of the article takes Rwanda as a case study and examines some possible reasons for non-intervention by the international community during the unfolding tragedy in Rwanda in the spring and early summer of 1994. More precisely, it will explore three main views: indifference to what was happening in Rwanda; the psychological phenomenon of diffusion of responsibility and the slippery slope argument. The aim of this paper is to illustrate the pitfalls of humanitarianism, in a changing world, as well as encourage a re-conceptualization of humanitarianism, and of some of those indeterminate rules and 'slippery' concepts it is working with.

Q. Who is Mr. Smarty Plants?
A: There are those who suspect Wildflower Center volunteers are the culpable and capable culprits. Yet, others think staff members play some, albeit small, role. You can torture us with your plant questions, but we will never reveal the Green Guru's secret identity.

Title: Are Yucca and Spanish dagger the same?
Answered by: Nan Hampton
We have Yucca, and we have Spanish Dagger. We don't think they are the same thing. Are they?ANSWER:
There are two plants in our Native Plant Database with the common name Spanish dagger: Yucca treculeana (Spanish dagger) and Yucca aloifolia (Spanish dagger)—with photos from Auburn University Horticulture Department. I don't know which of these you have; but, as you can see, they both have the same genus name, Yucca; but different species names, aloifolia and treculeana. Additionally, there are lots of other species in the Genus Yucca and even some plants that have "yucca" as part of their common names, but are not in the Genus Yucca. I don't know which Yucca you have, probably Yucca arkansana (Arkansas yucca) or Yucca pallida (twistleaf yucca) where you live. Many plants that share common names are really different species. This is why botanists use the scientific names when referring to plants so that everyone knows exactly which plant they mean. So, the answer to your question is that both your plants are in the Genus Yucca and closely related, but are not exactly the same thing since they are different species.

CHARLESTON, S.C. — Comedian Stephen Colbert, who says he's running for president of "The United States of South Carolina," is urging voters there to cast their ballots in Saturday's presidential primary for former GOP hopeful Herman Cain.
Colbert, who is not on the ballot, says he has believed Cain's message for "several days now."
He appeared with Cain at a rally Friday at the College of Charleston and told the more than 3,000 people that a vote for the former candidate would send a strong message that the people want Colbert.
Cain demurred and told the crowd to vote for whomever they want.
Colbert called it the "Rock Me Like a Herman Cain South Cain-olina Primary Rally."

Originally Published in Risk Retention Reporter - March 2013.
A number of U.S. states are creating captive domiciles to compete with Vermont, South Carolina, Hawaii and other long-established leaders. We interviewed Richard Smith, president of the Vermont Captive Insurance Association, and Kevin Doherty, chairman/president of the Tennessee Captive Insurance Association, to explore the new landscape of captive regulation. Smith held senior positions in Vermont state government before joining VCIA. Doherty is a partner in the Nashville law firm Burr & Forman LLP and helped rewrite the Tennessee captive law in 2011.
RRR: Until recently, Vermont, South Carolina, and Hawaii were the leading U.S. domiciles. In the last few years, more states including Delaware, Kentucky, Montana, Nevada, Tennessee, and Utah have begun competing aggressively for captive business. How has this impacted the quality of captive regulation?

Gamecocks Clipped by No. 16 Georgia, 4-1
March 14, 2014 COLUMBIA, S.C. - No. 48 South Carolina dropped a 4-1 decision to No. 16 Georgia Friday night at Carolina Tennis Center in a match whose score belied how much pressure the Gamecocks put on the Bulldogs, especially down the stretch. Georgia escaped with the doubles point on a tiebreak in the final match on court, and senior Chip Cox stretched out his No. 4 singles match four extra games before falling in the third set. Junior Kyle Koch posted the lone singles victory in the No. 5 spot in the order after teaming with Andrew Adams for a doubles win as well. Doubles set the tone for the match as the two matches that went Georgia's way went down to the wire. South Carolina opened with an 8-5 win by Koch and Adams over Nathan Pasha and Garrett Brasseaux in the No. 2 match after the Gamecock duo went up a break early and held on for the win. At the top of the order, the battle of ranked tandems came down to the end of the match as No. 21 Hernus Pieters and Ben Wagland won three of the last four games to close out No. 56 Cox and Tsvetan Mihov 8-5. The point would be determined by the No. 3 contest, in which Thiago Pinheiro and Andrew Schafer mounted a late comeback from a break down at 4-7. The duo won the next three games to force a tiebreak. Georgia's duo of Eric Diaz and Austin Smith sprinted out to a 5-2 lead, but allowed the Gamecocks back in by dropping both their service points. Back on serve at 5-4, the Bulldogs surged for the 8-7 (4) win to put Georgia up 1-0 in the team match.
Singles got off to an even start with each team leading in three first sets. For the Gamecocks, Pinheiro, Cox and Koch were all up a break early on Courts 3, 4 and 5, respectively. Georgia was cruising on the other three, though as No. 25 Pasha took his first set 6-1 from No. 88 Mihov at the top of the order and Nick Wood claimed his first over No. 125 Schafer 6-2 at the bottom of the lineup. Koch struck first for the Gamecocks, winning his first set over Pieters 6-3. Both Cox and Pinheiro saw their opponents battle back, though, with No. 79 Brasseaux winning five straight games to claim his first set over Cox 6-4. By the time Pinheiro and No. 13 Austin Smith went into their first-set tiebreak, the Bulldogs were up 2-0 in the team scoring as Pasha closed out Mihov 6-1, 6-1, and Adams was down a set to No. 87 Wagland, falling 6-3 in the first. Pinheiro salvaged the set forcing Smith into a series of mistakes en route to a 7-6 (4) victory that helped the Gamecocks gain momentum. Adams went up a break in his second set, and Cox was battling in his. Still, Georgia drew within a point of the match with Wood's 6-2, 6-2 win over Schafer on Court 6. The Gamecocks battled on, though, with Koch surging ahead of Pieters on Court 4 en route to his 6-3, 6-4 victory that made it a 3-1 Georgia advantage. Cox continued the momentum, winning his second set over Brasseaux 6-4 to force a third, but he fell behind 3-0 in it early. On the next court, Adams was locked in a war with Wagland as the two pushed each other to deuce game-in and game-out. After Adams held in an extended game to get to 4-5, he finally broke through in the next game to go up 5-5. At the same time, Pinheiro went up a break on Smith at 5-3. Adams went on to win the next two games as well, closing out his second set 7-5 with another service break, and Cox was shaking off his 1-5 deficit, winning a pair of games to hold off the Bulldogs. Smith was getting the better of Pinheiro late in their second set, though, taking three straight games to go up 6-5 and serve for the set. It would not come to that, however, as Brasseaux finally ended Cox's rally, winning the final set 6-3 and delivering the team win for Georgia. South Carolina is back in action at Carolina Tennis Center on Sun., Mar. 16, at 1 p.m. against No. 14 Tennessee. #16 Georgia 4, #48 South Carolina 1Doubles (Order of Finish: 2, 1, 3)1.

I am a professional, multi-media artist who has exhibited in galleries in Washington, DC, Baltimore, Maryland, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and in New York, NY. From having gone through over two decades of personal art study in private art studios, in college, and on my own, I have built strong drawing and painting skills and have experimented with just about every medium you can think of. Since graduation, I have taught through many different art programs in the northern Virginia area and through private art tutoring. Through these programs, I have taught drawing (from observational drawing to cartoons/stylized images), mixed-media sculpture, and pottery/clay to children ages 4 to 17 years old. From tutoring, I have taught a wide range of art concepts and skills, including basic art skills, watercolor painting, realistic portraiture, perspective drawing, sewing, and creative arts projects to students from the ages of 7 to 89.
While some may say I have a lot of experience and skills, I am always learning and trying to share my knowledge and skills with my students. I believe in helping others develop their talents in ways that work best for them. I strive to teach and illustrate concepts or materials in as many ways as needed to deepen understanding and learning. From my experiences as a teacher and having gone through art education since I was a child, I understand and highly value patience, diligence, and creativity with learning and with practicing one's craft/art. Not only that, but art should also be a fun experience! If these values also align with your own, and you would like this for yourself or your budding artist, please contact me for art tutoring!
I look forward to working with you and/or your child!

Help support your Meetup
Mevident (www.mevident.com) is a network of highly qualified collaborative wellness practitioners. Mevident brings its wellness benefit platform to corporate clients so that their employees will be able to access our qualified practitioners. This Meetup is a place where Mevident practitioners can create local events, meet with each other, discuss recent advancement in wellness care delivery, and promote wellness to the general public.
Wellness has been put aside in the healthcare industry for the last 70-80 years. The result is increasing prevalence of preventable and reversible chronic illness and soaring healthcare cost that drives the country to bankruptcy. Only if population understand that they have control over this by merely changing lifestyles and approaches to medicine, we could solve this.
We believe this can be done, when all the wellness practitioners from different disciplines get together and work together to change the way care is delivered and help consumers understand how our body actually works!
This Meetup is open for all wellness practitioners and their clients. Let's build a wellness community!
Note: In order to become a Mevident practitioner and become an event organizer here, you need to also sign up here (www.mevident.com/providers). Attendance to events is open to anyone.

House Speaker John Boehner's two- phase debt-ceiling proposal may force a replay of the current fight early next year if Congress doesn't slash at least $1.6 trillion from the deficit by late December, according to a person familiar with the plan.
Under the proposal, the person said, a joint House-Senate committee would have to report by Nov. 23 on a deficit-cutting package and Congress would have to enact it by Dec. 23 for President Barack Obama to receive additional borrowing authority. The person requested anonymity to discuss the plan before it was formally released.
Republican aides say the measure would immediately raise the debt ceiling by roughly $1 trillion while cutting slightly more in federal spending. It would force additional cuts before making a second borrowing boost available.

Super Rugby
Warren Gatland came close to returning to New Zealand rugby after the 2011 World Cup, it has been revealed.
Speaking at Monday night's Waikato University public lecture series, the Wales coach said it was a "toss of the coin".
He had been offered a coaching position with the Chiefs, but the negotiations stalled and ultimately failed over the issue of money.
"I nearly made the decision after the World Cup [to return to New Zealand] and it was a toss of the coin. I was going to come back and I had been offered the Chiefs job and New Zealand made me an offer of a contract," Gatland said.
He said the issue was not about competing with the money that Wales had offered him, which was "about four or five times the difference".
"I went back to New Zealand and I said to them: 'Look, it's not about the money but I am finding it a little bit difficult to accept the contract, is there a chance of any movement on it'?"
When the Chiefs asked why, Gatland said they were offering him less money than he had been on in 2007.
"[I told them] 'Well, you have offered me less money than I was on in 2007 when I was coaching Waikato and was involved with the Chiefs, to coach the Chiefs in 2012'."
Gatland said he asked the Chiefs if there was any chance they could improve their offer.
"[And] they just said: 'Things are tight at the moment, the economy is not great' and they said 'that's the best we can do, take it or leave it'."
Gatland said he came close to coming home.
"If they had have moved 10 or 15 thousand I would have said 'okay, that's great . . . you've moved a little bit' and I would have taken the Chiefs job and [instead] they just said 'take it or leave it' and I said 'thanks very much, I'll leave it'.
"So that's what happened."
It is unclear what role Gatland would have taken with the franchise, as current coach Dave Rennie had been signed on a two-year contract in April 2011.
Gatland re-signed with the Welsh Rugby Union before the 2011 World Cup.
In October, Wales Rugby Union boss Roger Lewis said Gatland was signed to a "watertight" contract until 2015 and he did not want him going anywhere after the World Cup.
Lewis said there had been discussions between the WRU and Gatland about the "huge commitment" they had made to Gatland, and vice-versa.
Gatland also revealed he still harbours a burning desire to coach the All Blacks.

I have been working at Tapestry Solutions
ProsThe people are great at Tapestry.
ConsThe company is facing more complex challenges than what the current leadership is capable of handling. They need to hire business leaders vs. their former buddies from the service. When they do that, they only add to the problems vs. lead us to a better place.
Advice to ManagementAdviceHire Sr. Leadership with past experience in performing the job vs. hiring your former buddy from the service.
