Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

Prince William, Sir Paul McCartney, Helen Mirren, George Orwell... Discover unexpected relationships between famous figures when you explore our group of famous British people.
Meet famous people past and present who share the same birth month of February. Rosa Parks, Charles Dickens, Mario Andretti, Johnny Cash, Rihanna, Toni Morrison, George Washington, and many more, are all famous people who were born in February.
Like in Gone With the Wind, The Sun Also Rises after Twilight, even in a Pet Cemetary Where the Wild Things Are. But let's not be too morbid and discuss creepy things like The Satanic Verses or try to get an Interview With a Vampire from The Stranger Who Professes 'I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings.' Going round in round like this, you may never know Where the Sidewalk Ends, and that would be unfortunate since Uncle Tom's Cabin is just around the corner...
Okay, we could go on, but we won't torture you. You get the point. Our attempt at creative writing is nothing compared to the imaginative minds of our Famous Fiction Authors Group.
Sometimes your mug isn't as original as you'd like it be. Considering there are over 7 billion people on this earth, someone's bound to be your doppelganger, and these historical figures and celebrities prove just that.
Explore our Famous Lookalikes' pictures and see whom we think are spittin' images of each other.
Meet famous people such as Johnny Cash, Dorothy Dandridge, James Dean, Grace Kelly, Jimi Hendrix, and Steve Irwin, who died in the month of September.

Search for native plants by scientific name, common name or family. If you are not sure what you are looking for, try the Combination Search or our Recommended Species lists.
Smooth azalea is a large, loosely-branched shrub, 8-12 ft. tall with an equal spread. Glossy, bright-green, deciduous foliage lacks hairs beneath like other native azaleas. Foliage turns deep red to purple in fall. Fragrant, funnel-shaped, white or pink-tinged flowers with protruding, red stamens cluster in subtle groups of 3 to 6 after the leaves appear.
Sweet Azalea is tall and fast-growing for a native azalea. It is one of the hardiest native white azaleas, and one of the last azaleas to bloom in the spring. Drought sensitive, it requires moist, partially shaded sites.
Native shrub to replace non-native azaleas.

I want to replace my two dozen azaleas this spring (I think they're unattractive once the flowers fall off). I like the multiseason characteristics of weigela (midnight wine, W&R), but want to go na...

Spotlight Camper of the Month
January 2014
Kelsey Bufkin
About a year and a half ago, my husband and I were both overweight and out of shape. Our energy levels were super low, and we were "living to eat." We were fed up and sick of it!! We had determined to start changing our diet and I wanted to incorporate some good exercise as part of the change. We wanted to get healthy, lose some weight, and honor God with our bodies! It's definitely not easy at first, but one step at a time and the ball gets rolling.
The idea and methods of the bootcamp/burst training exercises made sense to me and was really appealing because it's never quite the same workout and it's a fun challenge. No matter what "level" of fitness you're at, you can jump right in and push yourself beyond what you thought you could do. It's been amazing to see that in my life and in the lives of other bootcampers we see each week. Seeing real people and their successes was and is awesome! And not only do you get such a fabulous metabolism-boosting workout, but Julie and Harlan are the best leaders and cheerleaders along the way. This is a way of life for them, and they incorporate the encouragement and challenges and support you need so well. The personal attention, encouraging emails and weekend workouts all make a difference in setting T4L apart from just any other workout class or regimen!
About 7 months after we joined bootcamp, my husband was diagnosed with advanced stage cancer and my father unexpectedly died a few weeks after that. Needless to say, it's been a tough year, and I can personally say that the bootcamp has been a lifeline for me this past year! Jon and I had already changed our diets to a mainly plant/protein and very little processed foods diet, and we immediately went completely organic when we found out about his cancer. Jon had lost about 35lbs since we started and was in much better shape when we he was diagnosed. I have no doubt that his fitness and our diet played a huge role in his body's ability to fight and heal. For me, being in shape helped my energy levels tremendously. Even under the intense stress, I was able to stay well, and bootcamp was a wonderful routine and stress reliever for me. I have felt stronger and empowered and thankful. I'm grateful for the amazing role T4L has played in our lives this past 1.5 years.
As far as results on a physical level, I can say that originally I was watching the scale and then I realized that as long as I was gaining lean muscle and the fat was burning away, that is what really mattered… but it is fun to see those numbers drop! :) I went from a size 12 to a size 8 and lost about 20 lbs. Just like any discipline in our lives, we have to set goals and find motivation to consistently pursue those goals. My current goals and motivations are to continue with this weekly workout routine (3 x week) and to tone up and build lean muscle. I'm learning more and more about the foods we eat and I am personally motivated to continue with the exercise and good diet to help balance my hormones and help give my body every opportunity to avoid ovarian cancer which runs extremely strongly on my mother's side of the family. No more cancer in our household! :)
You will get results if you commit! and you can do it!! Come join us!
Sometimes A Healthy Lifestyle Can Be A Pain
To be honest, making time for exercise everyday sometimes is a pain. Making the right decisions every meal is at times harder than others. I don't always want to show up for those grueling workout sessions and intense cardio sessions, but I do anyways. Sometimes, I wish I didn't know what all I know about food and the body. Sometimes, I wish I could sleep in and skip my appointment with the jump rope at 5AM. Sometimes, I wish I could eat the thick crust pizza with all the trimmings, wash it down with some Dr. Pepper and follow it up with a piece of chocolate cheesecake. But you know what? I don't…
What stops me? The fact that I do know the impact it would have on my body. I know my mood would be horrible and my family would suffer the crabbiness of it. I know my metabolic syndrome and hormones would go way out of whack and it would take me weeks if not days to get it back to normal. I know I wouldn't have any energy to do anything that I enjoyed. I know that I would be unfair to the only body that I have been trusted with. I know that I wouldn't enjoy life. In fact, it would take away from my life, my dreams, and my goals.
So the next time you wish you could just skip the workout or you just don't feel like showing up today…. Take a minute to remember why you do it. It is because you deserve to live a healthy and bountiful life. You deserve to be happy and kind to those around you. You deserve to live life without disease, aches and pains. You are only trusted with one body--- you better treat it right so that it will treat you right… On occasion the skipped workout, the pizza, the cheesecake (not in that order though) is okay BUT you shouldn't want those things for the majority of your life- it should feel like a treat. A treat is something you want on occasion NOT something you crave everyday of the week. I mean Disney World is fun but I wouldn't want to live there. Sleeping in is fun but I wouldn't want to wake up at noon everyday just to think about what all I Missed while I was asleep. On those "off" days keep focus… Think about what all you are giving up just because you "don't feel like it". FOCUS on giving your body the best gift you can and that is good health….
What is Your Potential?
Potential is defined as having or showing the capacity to develop into something in the future. Adj
Latent qualities or abilities that may be developed and lead to future success or usefulness. N
It is to look forward with optimism or to be filled with hope. What is your potential at reaching your fitness goals this year? In order to reach your full potential you must grow as a human being. You cannot simply wish to reach your goals and hope that you land successfully. You must have a plan, work the plan, believe in the plan, and grow so you adapt and change the necessary habits that are needed to reach your destination. You may not always like the plan or the action required but the people who reach their potential are the ones that are consistent and push forward despite their mood. You see you cannot simply go through the motions of selecting the right foods and go through the workouts just to check a box… You have to grow as a person! In other words, you have to embrace the journey so that you adapt to the new lifestyle. If you don't then you will find yourself right back to the starting line again and who wants to go backwards in life?
Author James Allen put it best when he said, "People are anxious to improve their circumstances but are unwilling to improve themselves; they therefore remain bound." You have to have a plan, follow the plan, educate yourself, use the resources before you and develop as you move forward towards your goal. Don't sit back and hope and wish it will come to you in any aspect of your life. I believe the saddest stories are the ones where people never reached their full potential and left this beautiful life with regrets and what ifs… Don't be that person. Use every day to become the person you envisioned you would be when you were a child. We all had great expectations without holding back then, nothing was out of reach then why as adults do we put such obstacles in front of us?
Keep moving forward and when it comes to fitness and health goals- I am always here to help you reach your full potential- use your resources….
Stay tuned for the big Transformation Reveal on July 1st- this is a story of one a woman who went the extra mile and realized she wasn't living life to the fullest, had a plan, and reached her destination. It is a very motivating story so make sure you check it out….
Why Do We?
Why do we let ourselves go? What stops us from living the best life we possibly can; filled with daily activity and healthy habits? When did we stop caring about our health and ourselves? Every time I read the new reports about obesity in America, I just cringe. It worries me that we simply don't care about ourselves or what we are teaching our children about health. Our self esteem is low, our tempers are high, and we are killing ourselves with a slow and painful death. Adult onset diabetes is now striking children in their elementary school years and for the first time in history parents are outliving their children. There is something really wrong here.
We are given one body and all we are responsible for is to take the best care of that one body. After all, if we don't -we don't get another one. We are becoming selfish with our desires for instant gratification and our fear of hard work. It doesn't matter if you are skinny, overweight, obese, young, middle age, or up there in years- you need to be healthy and treat your body like it is meant to be treated. If you don't use it- you will lose it… Too many people are dying from heart disease, cancers, and diabetes. Did you know that we lose over 350,000 people a year from heart related diseases? Did you also know that this is almost 100% preventable in most cases? That is a very scary statistic. Don't be afraid of where you are right now, this very minute. Just start working towards a healthier you and a healthier family TODAY.
I have spent years watching one person in the household change their habits and then the entire family and circle of friends starts to follow suit. It doesn't matter where the support is right now- just show them that you care about yourself. When you feed your body the proper fuel it requires and provide it with butt kicking workouts daily- your energy soars, you breathe much easier, your body moves with fluidity, you become stronger in your body and your mind and you go on to accomplish things that once terrified you. Imagine leaving that for your children; a mother and father that care about themselves so that your children see that they are cared about too. You have to love yourself first before you can give the love to others.
Treat your body like a high valued corvette, pouring only the best fuel money can buy and working the engine with love and care.
Is Your Life Worth It?
Recent statistics state that:
So what is the answer here? Some people think we should have the government put a higher tax on the junk food; some say we need our work place to offer more incentives to exercise more. What do you think?
Personally, I think the above solutions are not the answer. We are the answer!! Every single one of us. We know what we need to do to promote good health. We know it takes physical activity daily, good eating habits, sleep, and less stress so why the staggering numbers? Basically, we have gotten lazy and want instant gratification. I mean we don't even have to go anywhere to purchase a book or a movie (a click of a button and we have it on our phones or computers in seconds). We can order food from our cars (we don't even have to get out and walk inside). We can do our banking from a car, order just about anything and have it delivered to our home or office, hire someone to clean our houses, wash our cars, walk our dogs, etc… Most of our careers are now completed from a desk..
How can we allow 300,000 people die each year from diseases that are self created? Or better yet- why do we allow 300,000 people die each year from this? We must take back control of our own health and start waiting for someone to do it for us… Our children are dying before us due to obesity related issues. I'm sorry, but a child with high cholesterol does not set well with me. We have to get out of this dream world that someone else can save us or MAKE us do what needs to be done in order to save our own lives. It is our responsibility. Our responsibility to raise our children in a healthy environment with good clean balanced nutrition and daily exercise. Support them by doing it with them- be their role model, don't let them find another role model out there (you may not like who they choose).
We are the answer here! Start a new ritual of walking around the block as a family while dinner cooks or take a healthy eating cooking class, try a new healthy recipe (cook it together). Allow everyone to pick a new recipe to try this week. It needs to be a family effort- no excuses. You may not need to lose weight- but your health still needs to be first priority. Daily activity and healthy eating are the only ways to achieve that.
I want to see these statistics go down each year instead of up. Please do your part and take care of you and your family. Who knows- you may even inspire your friends or co-workers.
In Optimal Health,
Julie Wilcoxson
I received this testominal today from a boot camper of ours, Vanessa who suffers from a thyroid condition and just had to share. Here are her words since beginning her Paleo lifestyle and joining boot camps.
"I went to the endocrinologist for a thyroid ultrasound and check up. I usually go every 2 months to discuss my levels. Well, I have to go every 6 months now!! It's a big win for me. I told my doctor about my lifestyle changes and how I figured out which foods cause my energy problems. My levels are all with-in range. He saw my weight go down and told me to keep doing what I'm doing.
I found out gluten causes inflammation for me. Cheese causes me to have allergies. For years, I'd go to the doctor and my levels were in range. Still, I had zero energy. Now I am seeing how the food I'm eating is the cause. My sister-in law and mother have decided to do the whole 30. My brother says it has changed his life. I know I have been able to handle stress much better. I still have some tweaking with my diet."
She gets it!! She understands the power food has over her health. If you want to read more about what it takes to transform, then follow this link http://www.transformations4life.com/Articles.aspx- if you want to know more about Paleo and the Whole30- contact us.
Small Steps Equal Huge Gains!!!!
How many of you have looked at your weight and thought to yourselves, í will never lose that much weight, it will take too long. So instead you decide to not do anything at all? I received an email this morning from one of my bootcampers and it even blew me away what small steps can accumulate over time. She decided to do a little extra movement each day by simply taking the stairs at work instead of using an elevator. Look at what she said…..
"I've taken over 200 flights of stairs this week - - the equivalent of walking to the top of the Empire State Building and back down halfway. "
Do you see what you can accomplish by just doing something every day. You don't have to run a mile or do an hour of aerobics in the beginning. Just move!!!! Do something that will accumulate over time. This has benefits, trust me… You will start to lose weight, increase your cardiovascular health, raise your metabolism, gain confidence, and then you will be able to tackle more and more..
We all have to start somewhere. You just have to make the decision to START.. Get up from your desk every hour and do 20 jumping jacks (or 10 in the beginning), take the stairs instead of the elevator, get up and talk to the person in the next office instead of Instant Messaging them, park further away from the store instead of driving laps looking for the closest parking spot, walk to the mailbox instead of picking it up on the drive in, walk with your family after dinner instead of sitting and watching a movie, pace at the sports games instead of sitting on the sidelines, practice with your kids instead of sending them outside alone.. You see there are so many simple ways to start your path to great success.
I know you have all heard it!!! "You didn't get where you are overnight so allow yourself the time to get back to where you're supposed to be"…
What Does it Really Take…
Many of you are having a hard time making the first step towards that fit and healthy life. I admit, the first step is always going to be the hardest; it does get easier but it will NEVER be EASY!! The first step is to admit that this is never going to be a life that you can reach your weight goal and then go back to your old ways.. You will always have to make healthier food choices and you will always have to work out.
Change the mindset- instead of "HAVE TO" change it to "GET TO". I don't necessarily want to hit the gym hard every single day but I WANT to be fit and healthy so I GET TO hit the gym hard every single day… Get where I'm going here"?? It changes the mindset. You see the body will do what the mind tells it to do. So if your dragging your feet getting through the gym doors and telling yourself all the things you could be doing during this next hour instead of wasting your time at the gym- then guess what- You just wasted your time at the gym- Because your workout won't be effective because your mind wasn't in it.
Find what motivates you- it could be music, it could be a picture of a physique you admire, a story of perseverance, your children, an outfit, a condition you want to overcome, a doctor's report, etc- whatever it is use it… Personally, I like to listen to high energy music really loud- I need it to drawn out any lazy thoughts in my head, any conversations going on around me, my heavy breathing (lol)- I like0 to lose myself to the beat of the music. This is what motivates me to really push myself. If I went into the gym with just the noise around me and the thoughts in my head- well I wouldn't get much done. I have plenty of things going on in my mind at any one time (a house to clean, meals to be made, kids to run around, a business to run, workouts to design, and the list goes on and on) but for this one hour a day- it is all about me and my goals NOTHING ELSE MATTERS DURING THAT TIME!!
There are 23 remaining hours that I can deal with everything else. But my training hour is set aside SPECIAL for me. It is my SPECIAL SELFISH HOUR as I like to call it. This is the 60 minutes a day that makes me who I am. It is what allows me to be positive for other people, it allows me to be nice to my family, it allows me the energy to accomplish the million tasks I have to get through, it allows me to feel good about myself when I look in the mirror, it gives me a sense of accomplishment because I know I pushed myself harder than I ever thought I could go.. It is that one hour that makes me who I am… This is what changes my mindset.
Yes it is hard work and discipline but so is anything else that is worth achieving. If you want to be the norm, then skip the gym and eat at fast food joints, take a hand fill of pills and feel sorry for yourself because you don't have the energy to chase after your kids or grandkids. If you want to stand out and achieve greatness then dedicate that special hour for yourself and become who you always knew you could be..
Are You Still Worried About What the Scale Says???
The picture on the left is 5lbs of ugly fat and on the right is 5 lbs of nice lean muscle. As you can see muscle takes up less space than fat, however it does weigh more, so the scale may not show the number you THINK it should. Your clothes will tell the whole story. If you are lifting weights, doing sensible cardio, and eating a clean healthy diet your results will show. Get out of the mind set that the scale has to be a certain number, if your clothes are fitting better then you are losing body fat and gaining lean muscle mass. This is how you truly create a healthy beautiful lean physique.
Falling in Love Again....
It is defiantly summer outside, here in the beautiful state of Tennessee we are hitting record high temperatures and in my hometown of sunny Florida, they are hitting record rainfall with their first of the season Tropical Storm. Yep—summer is here! This is usually the time of year when people are either regretting their lack of action with their fitness goals or really pushing it hard trying to hit their mark. Which are you?
Summer is the time of year where I reflect back on my own love of fitness and start changing things up! I love adding new exercises, challenging myself with lower rest periods, increased weight, and faster sprint times. This is the time of year where being outside brings me joy (you would be amazed at what you can do with a park bench). If you are finding yourself in a rut with your fitness program, think back when you first began that program or joined the gym, etc. What excited you about it? Personally, I love the clanging noise of weights hitting each other, I love the loud music, I even love the smell of the gym. The idea of people pushing themselves outside of their comfort zones is a HUGE motivation for me no matter what mood I am in.
What is yours? Maybe, you like the excitement of a group boot camp, the competition of beating someone else's time or rep count. Maybe you like the solitude of running as far as you can in the great outdoors, or you like the quietness of working out in your own home gym, or the private intimate sessions with a personal trainer guiding your fitness.
We all have different reasons that we work out, the key is to figure out what you like and fall in love with it again…. Your body is a work of art and it should never become stagnate. Working out should excite you, make you come alive. After all, what other method can you use to make you forgot your problems? I can't think of many.. Working out is where I feel young, alive, and motivated to conquer any task that I am presented….
Go ahead, fall in love again with your body!! This is one thing I promise you won't ever regret!!!
Are You Struggling?
I'm guessing you have started missing workouts, slacked on your healthy eating regime, and have already given up on your New Year's Resolution to lose some weight this year. Sound familiar?
I get asked a lot how to get re-motivated and the truth is there is no magic "thing". If I had to name one thing I would say- "get out of your own way". We are our own worst enemy! We can come up with 1000 excuses why something isn't working but the truth is- it is we, who are not working. Whether you're not be consistent enough, not pushing hard enough, not sleeping enough, not making the right food choices the majority of the time, or simply not drinking enough good clean water.
Don't give up on yourself; your accomplishments are just around the corner. Nobody wakes up and says that's it I am giving it 100% for now on without ever having a down day or a lapse in judgment. We are human (bad choices are in our blood). You don't have to be PERFECT ALL the time. You just have to show up 90% of the time. Show up to that healthy well balanced breakfast, show up to that boot camp or workout, show up to refilling that water bottle for the 6th time today, simply show up….
Nobody is more important than you are RIGHT Now. Yes, moms that includes your families. You cannot expect to be a healthy loving role model if you're tired, sluggish, unmotivated, and unhealthy!! Do you really want to teach your kids that they are not important? Well that is what you are telling them every day when you bump yourself off your to do list because of laundry, housework, errands… Working out doesn't take that long. So even when you don't feel like, show up anyway, that the music take over and the motivation of others get you moving. I promise you won't regret it. My motivation to hitting the gym 6 days a week is knowing the older woman carrying around the oxygen tank is going to be there. She has plenty of excuses and the way I see it is- if she called me and asked me why I wasn't there for my workout, what excuse I could possibly come up with that she would understand.
Get out of the way and Just DO IT!!!
I know you have heard it before, avoid foods that contain Trans fats (which are labeled as hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated oils). You can find these fats in most packaged or boxed food items. You may be wondering though, what they are exactly?
Trans Fats are nothing more than vegetable fats that have been changed chemically by a process called hydrogenation. This is the process in which food manufactures artificially added hydrogen to liquid unsaturated fats to provide a longer shelf life. In other words, to save money by allowing the food to sit on the shelf for a longer time. You still may be wondering what the big deal is..
Research has linked Trans Fats to cancer, Alzheimer's, lower levels of HDL (the good cholesterol), just to name a few. The biggest issue with these fats is the damage it does to our children. Snack foods play a significant role in the diets of children and this is where these fats are found.
ChipsCookiesMargarineFrozen pizzasCake mixesDonutsSome peanut butter
Don't just listen to the claim on the outside of the package either; food manufactures can claim No Trans Fats as long as there is less than 0.5grams per serving. Become an informed consumer and read the list of ingredients in the package, search out the words partially or fully hydrogenated. If your children are consuming these foods on a daily basis, the damage has already begun and unfortunately you can't reverse it. The best option is to avoid it by eliminating these foods from your diet and instead eat foods in their natural state like fruits and vegetables.
The action you need to take today is start reading food labels and start making the switch from the packaged foods to a healthier alternative. Educate yourself so you can prevent disease for your children. Trust me nothing tastes better than good health feels…….
How to Get Started Regaining Your Health
Aww did you shrug when I said change your dietary habits? This is where I lose most people!
Let's face it, people just don't want to change the way they look at food, even though that simple act produces the BIGGEST improvement in our health. The problem is we don't want to cut back or sacrifice our sugar addiction, morning Frappucino, daily sodas, and fried foods- NOT even for a healthier, fit body. The truth is you cannot exercise your way out of it. No matter how many hours a day you plug away on that cardio machine, you cannot make up for bad nutrition.
Let me stop you before you start arguing your case about your best friend Jenny, who can eat whatever she wants and still wears a size 0. That's a whole different article and we are discussing the average John and Jane here with average genetics, "you simply cannot out work a poor diet".
The second change has to come with getting up off our tush more and moving more. We were designed to move our bodies NOT sit all day long. We are hunters and gathers by nature, we didn't sit in our office plugging away at a computer screen 40 hours a week. We moved and added in short bursts of sprinting towards prey or away from predators, and we walked the rest of the time. Walking has many benefits; don't dismiss it because it isn't included in the newest P90X video. Walking burns calories, increases cardiovascular efficiency, easier on the joints, convenient, no fancy equipment is needed, relaxing, and a great stress reliever.
Everyone can do it, simply get up 30 minutes earlier in the morning and take a morning stroll, walk at lunch around the office building, park further from the store and walk, walk to run some errands, go for a hike, walk to the store, start a walking club, take the stairs instead of the elevator, walk to the mailbox or to your neighbor's house. This is the easiest thing to add into your day and you can do it anywhere.
No excuses! Start making healthier eating choices and walking more. Start a new tradition and take a walk as a family after dinner instead of eating a dessert. Everyday is a choice, make the right choice today for a better disease free tomorrow.

About the Movie
Something is up on planet Earth! More and more people are beginning to have a realisation, as though waking from a dreamlike trance and seeing that all on our planet is not what it seems. We find ourselves asking life's BIGGEST questions – Where do we come from? Are we alone in the Universe? And, what does the future hold?
South Australian man george kavassilas, an ordinary man with a lifetime of extra-ordinary experiences, along with many others are on a mission to inform Humanity about the changes that are occurring on the Planet, and the more significant changes that are to come.
This documentary is not for the faint hearted, as george ventures where few men dare to tread, sharing his wisdom and lifting the veil on subjects ranging from ancient cultures and religions, to extra-terrestrials, crop circles, the genetic origins of Humanity and the manipulation of Mother Earth through her meridian/ley lines.
Belief systems will be questioned and control structures confronted.
The core of george's message is one of self-empowerment, spiritual sovereignty and remembering the deep, intimate and organic connection Human beings have with our Mother Planet. Our Journey Home will help you discover that the key to freedom resides within each and every one of us. It is within our hearts, our core essence, and the best way for us to free the planet is to first free ourselves.
Our Journey Home The Movie is available for purchase or rental.

Effective September 13, 2013. Any currently held exemptions allowing part 121 or part 135 operators to combine their drug and alcohol testing programs with the testing programs for their commercial air tour operations will expire on the effective date of this rule. 14 CFR Part 120 This rulemaking allows air carrier operators and commuter or on-demand operators that also conduct commercial air tour operations to combine the drug and alcohol testing required for each operation into one testing program. The current rule requires those operators to conduct separate testing programs for their commercial air tour operations. This results in an unnecessary duplication of effort. The intended effect of this rulemaking is to decrease operating costs by eliminating the requirement for duplicate programs while maintaining the level of safety intended by existing rules. This final rule also clarifies existing instructions within the rule, corrects a typographical error, and removes language describing a practice that has been discontinued.

When the last of my strength
Finally gives way.
When the rope I hang by
Has reached the end.
When the knots I tied
Start to fray away.
When the Sun I walk towards
Shines its last ray.
When the ground beneath me
Crumbles to dust.
When the water I drink
Evaporates and rises up.
When the warmth I long for
Suddenly turns cold.
When my heart that beats for you
Suddenly bleeds for you.
When the night I thought of fondly
Becomes the most painful memory.
When the words you spoke
Suddenly are said no more.
When the place I called home
Now has closed doors.
When my soul that was complete
Grows a hole in its center.
When the post I send
returns every letter.
When the air I breathed so sweetly
Turns acrid in my lungs.
When kisses I tasted
Turn sour with time.
When places I cared for
Become daggers in my side.
When songs that played for us
Make me want to die.
Then... and only then...
Have I realized...
Love is necessary.

PulsePoll from Market Connections, Inc. and FierceGovIT shows state of government workforce.
Chantilly, VA (PRWEB) February 20, 2014
Pay freezes, the current political environment and the prospect of a better salary in the private sector are driving 50 percent of federal employees to consider employment outside of government, according to a new PulsePoll of government employees by Market Connections, Inc. and FierceGovIT.
The online poll of 370 government employees found frustration with the current work environment and concerns about a brain drain affecting mission effectiveness as experienced government employees retire and/or seek opportunities in the private sector.
It is clear that the recent political environment and agency staffing practices are affecting federal morale, said Lisa Dezzutti, president and CEO of Market Connections, Inc. We could see serious repercussions on mission-critical work as a result of pay and hiring freezes, lack of resources and 50 percent of the workforce considering leaving government.
Nearly two-thirds of respondents (63 percent) said their agencies have frozen wages in the past 12 months, 59 percent said their agencies are not replacing workers who leave, half (49 percent) cite lack of resources to complete the job properly and 39 percent say mission-critical work is not getting done due to lack or reduction of staff.
Following are additional findings from the survey:
