|This conversation side has been deader than doornails the last few months! Where is everyone? What are you up to?
I just got back from Florida, visiting my parents, and now it's cold and raining :-(
I'm thinking about adopting this guy:
Hopefully they'll ok me, and I'll be back on my way to becoming a crazy cat lady!
Follow-Up Postings:
| Hi Bonnie, I still check here once in a while and agree with you! Where is our Merricat? Ms Jean? Laura? Tiffy? et al
I love that "Angel", she is just so sweet and really needs some loving. I hope you become her "person" so we can follow her progress.
We have been renovating our house, gasp/sigh, I'll post some pics so this side will look more lively(snork)Martha

|Laura is around - I was just chatting with her through email. I hope msjean is ok - this must be a hard time of year for her. If you're reading this, msjean, we're thinkin of ya!
It looks like project 'Crazy Cat Lady' is a go! The shelter is going to drive her down to us on Sunday! Woohoo! I'm so glad they're willing to do that for us - the kitty is in Ottawa and we don't have a car, so it would have been difficult to get her. They're happy to find someone that not only wants her, but has experience with her sort of disability. Special needs animals are hard to place! I imagine it'll be a couple of days before she gets used to us and I'll have to do a fair bit of work to strenthen her muscles, but I think we'll do just fine :-)
|HEY!!!!! I'M THE CRAZY CAT LADY!!!!! Dont take my crown away yet Bonnie lol. The kitten situation is crazy here .. I have 8 right now and two more coming tomorrow. Add on my 7 .. and I think I will be able to keep my "title and crown". Im sure everyone is thinking .. how could she live with the smell .. I can assure you that the boxes are changed daily .. or scooped several times a day and no one would ever know I have this many cats .. I even ask people if it smells :o) Some of the little ones should be ready to find homes next week .. so they will be off back at the shelter soon.
As for me .. what have I been up to .. noting .. absolutely nothing!! I finally got my cast off .. but the wrist still hurts. I guess bringing in all those plants didnt help the healing process. I have been attempting to get rid of "stuff" I think I made it halfway though the crawl space and I had to abandon my purging plans. They love me on freecycler though :o) I have two new kids .. one of whom is driving me crazy .. he isnt going to be staying as I couldnt live with him for the next five years .. not my type of kid at all.
Anywho .. I am here .. just really really busy :o)
Love the renos!! Can you rent out your hubby to do mine next?? :P

|No no no Laura, You are not the Crazy Cat Lady - you are the Crazy Cat Queen! I can only hope to aspire to such crazyness :-)
Glad to hear you got that cast off - did you catch hell for all the dirt?
I'm about to hit the Freecycle madhouse again myself and get rid of all my extra cannas. Those things are worse than triffids!

|Stupid rain!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm going to have to wait a bit to get my kitty :-(. The shelter person that was going to drive her down is too nervous to drive in the rain. I TOTALLY understand, and I wouldn't want anyone to take any kind of unnecessary risk, but it's still a bit of a downer to have to wait now that I'm all excited about my new kitty.
|LOL Bonnie ... ya I guess I am the Queen :o)
Awwww .. I was looking forward to hearing all about your new baby!! But one cant be too careful when carrying such precious cargo. I'm so excited for you .. it's almost like winning the lottery!!!! When do you get her now??
Be sure to take lots of pictures to share with us.

|I still don't have my kitty yet - we had a communications mixup! We're on for next weekend though.
We had a bit of bad news about our other cat today - he's diabetic :-(. We're going to see if it can be diet controlled first, hopefully he won't need insulin!
|My goodness Bonnie .. so much to deal with in such a short time. :o( If it can't be controlled with diet .. it will just be a matter of getting his dose figured out. Do they use Metformin (I think thats how you spell it) in cats .. my dad takes it and watches his diet :o)
Keep us up to date on the kitties .. I cant wait to hear how everything goes. I hope it wont be too stressful for Banshee as it might throw his levels off too ..
Take care

I ordered the bronze and it's a dark metallic PURPLE!!!! Because it's so heavy, there's no way I can return it. Just getting the box onto my deck was difficult enough and I hurt my back. The base is NOT the same as in the photo at all!! I got a domed base that has a side flange on it, instead of the nice concentric circle around the pole in the photo. I have no idea with the side flange is designed to do... it looks like it could cut feet near it so I'm very disappointed as I'll have to worry about it around kids, dogs and people with bare feet.. No where in the description does it mention this flange that is about 14 inches long and 3 or 4 inches wide! The only good thing about this stand, is the weight which will keep my umbrella in place when it's windy. I have been generally happy with my Overstock purchases until now. I won't believe the descriptions or photos from now on. Be careful before ordering this base as it's so heavy... you need 2 people to move it which means returns are very difficult.
only disappointment is that the pole is too long and the connection where the pole and base meet, is wobbly. I thought it would fit better for the price.
Solid constructed base but the two piece pole holder is not as durable as the base. We'll have to wait and see if this poses a problem. It is put together easily and so far seems to be very sturdy - 2 weeks in Lake Tahoe, CA
The base is heavy enough and looks fine. The problem is with the pole which is screwed into the base. It is not tight and stable for the weight of the umbrella. So the umbrella is always leaning and wonky. We will be purchasing replacement bases in which the base and bottom pole are one solid unit.
well built and heavy so the wind will not move it or blow it over
The stand holds the umbrella perfectly and it works !. I needed the stand for an event that I had and since it came with the scratched paint I had to be creative to cover the damage. Must be more careful with packing this heavy item.
This was just what I wanted. I am very happy with product

Megatrends in MOOCs: #7 GamificationBy Bryant Nielson, Managing Director On May 7, 2014 NO COMMENTS
Last year, gamification was a crazy buzzword indicating a trend that many predicted would be either the savior or the destroyer of education and training. (Playing games at work? But work isn't supposed to be fun!) Now, it seems like we hear less about gamification just in general, but that isn't because the idea of using game elements in non-game situations has gone away. On the contrary, gamification has made it into so many aspects of our daily lives that we hardly notice it anymore—if you've saved on groceries using a store loyalty card, booked a hotel online, or worn a Fitbit, you've been gamified.
Gamification is also working its way into more and more training and development departments. I'm not just talking

13 Megatrends in MOOCsBy Bryant Nielson, Managing Director On March 27, 2014 NO COMMENTS
Massive open online courses (MOOCs) like the ones offered by Coursera, edX, and Udacity have been around for about two years now, and over the past year or so, I have written about how they have evolved and the impact they have had on corporate training. Now, after several ups and downs, MOOCs are starting to find their place, and it turns out that place is much larger than could have been anticipated: MOOCs aren't just disrupting how training is delivered; they are changing how companies interact with their employees and others on a much grander scale.
As organizations continue to expand their use of new digital learning environments, we can identify some MOOC megatrends that are starting to shape up. I've touched on many of these trends before, but over the course of the next several weeks, we'll look at each of these trends in turn, defining them, describing where we are in the process, and identifying challenges in their adoption. The goal for this series is to provide a complete picture of the place of MOOCs in training departments and in organizations as a whole.

The Other Side of Simulation: Gamification is Everything!By Bryant Nielson, Managing Director On September 30, 2013 NO COMMENTS
Gamified simulations can change the way organizations train up; they have the ability to make normal, day-to-day business operational teaching more compelling and interactive. Gamification is just now beginning to be taken seriously within the simulation industry making organizations sit up and take notice. By utilizing game craft techniques we are able to make simulations that encompass serious concepts and bring them to life and mirror the real-world, just without the potential hazards for a wrong decision made and thus making every day 'average experiences' much more compelling. The incorporation of game dynamics through simulation is an intriguing concept and one that I am sure is here to stay.
Despite only being recently introduced, gamification is one of the largest movements of our time. When you stop to think about it you'll realize that customer loyalty programs, such as frequent flyer miles, credit card reward programs and grocery club cards all encompass what gamification is designed to do; and that is rewarding interaction with tangible benefits. This idea is also able to transfer over into other aspects of life, such as a job promotion, being awarded a diploma, receiving a year-end financial bonus, and the list goes on. Although all of these concepts offer a reward in the end, they tend to lack certain elements that create an engaging experience for the user, this is where gamified simulations come into play (pun intended).

Gamification with Narrative- The story behind the content that drives the simulationBy Bryant Nielson, Managing Director On July 26, 2013 NO COMMENTS
Can simulations tell stories? The affirmative answer of yes suggests that gamified simulations built around narrative may be considered an anomaly by some seeing as how the term of gamification was only recently introduced. But for us it's just common practice, so let me delve a little further into what I mean by narrative and how it has a profound affect on a gamified simulation.
Let's first begin by further explaining narrative. By definition narrative is: A narrated account; a story. Alternatively, it's the art, technique, or process of narrating. By further characterization, simulations are narratives; they have a story behind them. You can take a seemingly boring topic and actually breathe life into it to make it much more engaging for the trainee to learn. By utilizing a gamified simulation with narrative it aids in creating a story and context for a specific activity and makes learning more palatable.
"Narrative theory states that humans are primarily storytellers, thus people respond favorably to messages presented in a narrative framework" -Morgan, Cole, Struttman, & Piercy, 2002

Gamification Mechanics vs. Gamification DynamicsBy Bryant Nielson, Managing Director On July 24, 2013 NO COMMENTS
Since the introduction of Gamification a few years back some have begun to define the difference between Gamification Mechanics versus Gamification Dynamics. While there is a thin line between the two and it can be blurry at times, let me attempt to define each in the following post.
Gamification Mechanics: Also understood as verbs of gamification, in essence these are the elements that move the action (aka simulation) forward. Defined as the basic actions, control mechanisms and processes that are used to "gamify" an activity. These actions in which players take ("agency") and the rules that limit those actions to create pressure (also known as "urgency") are what make up game mechanics. The problem with the gamification mechanics definition is that is often a vague term to use "mechanics". In essence it kind of becomes a catchall for operations and their effects. In effect anything that may seem related to how a game operates may be labeled as a "mechanic". Granted, the essential idea behind gamification is to "just add in game mechanics."
According to Gamification.org (http://gamification.org/wiki/Game_Mechanics) there are 24 types of gamification mechanics currently recognized, while I won't define each one individually I will provide a list below of the 24 and most are pretty self explanatory without further definition needed.

This is your Brain on GamesBy Bryant Nielson, Managing Director On July 22, 2013 NO COMMENTS
This is your Brain on Games- The science behind gaming that proves gamification and simulation make sense
Computer and video gaming… It's a $25 billion dollar entertainment business per year which in 2010 sold over 257 million video and computer games. While the first commercial video game hit the market over 40 years ago, the game industry has grown immensely in the past two decades. There are casual gamers and then there are serious gamers…a 'serious gamer' may be defined as someone who spends 20 hours a week on gaming or alternatively as an MMO addict that spends his/her days in the basement clocking in 40 to 80 hours a week spent trying to master a game. However, most research exhibits gaming from 5 to 10 hours per week as healthy and otherwise defined as 'gaming in moderation'. Computer and video games can actually be looked at as a form of 'brain training'; it's an intuitive way to learn things (and actually retain what is learned).
When one is participating in a video type of game they enjoy intense determination, focus, a drive to achieve more, positive emotion… all of these are just a few 'symptoms' of gaming. Surprisingly, gamers are willing to fail 80 percent of the time. That's a pretty high statistic compared to what people are willing do in daily life and how they feel they may fail. When you are immersed in a 'game' you amaze yourself at what you can accomplish. By participating in a state of play, it brings out our optimism and energy levels and actually has positive effects in a multitude of different ways.

Gamification for EnterprisesBy Bryant Nielson, Managing Director On July 15, 2013 NO COMMENTS
Forrester Research (http://www.forrester.com/Gamification+Level+Up+Your+Strategic+Approach/fulltext/-/E-RES95622) recently released a new study that highlights the fact that companies just don't understand the concept of gamification well enough in order to make it work to their advantage. This helps to confirm the point that I have tried to make all along and that is… Companies and universities for the most part just don't recognize the unique value proposition that gamification coupled with simulation technologies can bring to the organization to aid in training/teaching learners.
In the study, Forrester states that a company investing in gamification needs to know who their target audience is and what that audience finds as valuable. Also the organization must determine its business objectives and chart an action plan to reach them, and in addition use an "engagement loop to connect user motivations to those actions." Past failures by some businesses have lead enterprises to question gamification applications even more so then they already were previously. The Forrester report also said, "It's not gamification itself that fails, it is the poor application of gamification that does."

Gamification of Problem SolvingBy Bryant Nielson, Managing Director On June 20, 2013 NO COMMENTS
Gamification of Problem-Solving: It's a relatively new term and may be a little trendy, possibly overhyped, and tends to be misunderstood as a subject. Let me delve a little deeper into painting a picture of what it is able to do (and solve). In essence gamification presents an innovative way to solve real-world problems in a simulated environment. We are seeing proven cases of success of it's applications and it still has a lot of untapped potential and evolution to take place before making it full circle.
How can you solve problems through Gamification?
According to Karl Kapp, he states that: "It is one thing to teach someone how to solve a problem using gamification techniques; it is another to actually have people work on the problem itself. This is where gamification problem-solving projects like the U.S. military's game platform for generating multiple ideas for defeating the Somali pirates, FoldIt, and Phylo come into play. Each of these gamified platforms has several similar components that can be employed when creating large scale gamification problem-solving efforts."

The History and Direction of GamificationBy Bryant Nielson, Managing Director On June 17, 2013 NO COMMENTS
A look back in the history books…
When you stop to think about it we have been playing games in one form or another almost since time began. The meaning and application of games has changed dramatically over the years and although the concept of 'game' is not new, the term of 'gamification' is. Perhaps one of the first forms of gamification could be noted as a toy introduced through the infamous Cracker Jack box way back in 1912. Nothing really happened over the next 68 years, up until 1980. It was then that Richard Bartle co-created MUD1. This 'game' was a pioneer effort to introduce the first known massively multiplayer online game. This was the first time that people could experience a collaboration platform that was interactive (even though not interactive by today's standards). It was MUD1 and others like it introduced way back when pc's were more in the dinosaur age of evolution as compared to what they are today that helped to shape what gamification is and will be in the future.
It wasn't until 2002 that another element of gamification came into play and that was in the form of 'serious games'. Serious Games can best be summed up in stating that it's a game, but one that is used for training/learning purposes through simulation, etc. It was this movement and the term coined as 'Games for Change' that began lying a path down for the real introduction of gamification. In 2007, Bunchball introduced the first 'modern' gamification platform. Since then a whole host of other companies have launched competing products revolving around a gamification-like platform and other systems.

Measuring the Effectiveness of GamificationBy Bryant Nielson, Managing Director On June 13, 2013 NO COMMENTS
Have you ever been gamified? My guess is that it's happened on many occasions without you ever even knowing it. Allow me prove my point. If you are a member of LinkedIn and have strived to achieve a level of completeness on your profile… you have been gamified! If you are a member of a Frequent Flyer Program (FFP)… you have been gamified! If you are a cardholder to a grocery rewards program…you have been gamified! These are just a few of many examples that come to mind that prove that gamification is all around us in a vast majority of things we do and see on a daily basis. By definition gamified elements take advantage of our human psychological predisposition to engage and strive to attain a higher level (or compete against one another). But how are we actually able to measure the effectiveness of gamification?
According to Gabe Zicherman on a recent Huffington Post entry he wrote "Since the beginning of the gamification industry in 2010, over 350 companies have launched major gamification projects. These include consumer brands like MLB, Adobe, NBC, Walgreens, Ford, Southwest, eBay, Panera and Threadless among others. For B2B companies Oracle, SAP, Jive, Cisco, Pearson and Salesforce, gamification has emerged as a key element in their consumerization of the enterprise strategy. And in 2012-2013 alone, consulting behemoths Deloitte, Accenture, NTTData and Capgemini began practices targeting gamification of Fortune 500 companies."

December Is Upon Us
POSTED: Thursday, December 2, 2010 - 10:55am
UPDATED: Friday, December 3, 2010 - 6:15am
Image: Snow Last December in El Paso
We've entered December, which is the start of meteorological winter (note: calendar winter begins on the Winter Solstice, which is December 21st). This is typically when we start to see the coldest weather of the year, with the coldest average temperatures for El Paso at the end of the month. Last year at this time, under the influence of an El Niño weather pattern, we had already seen 5 1/2 inches of snow. This year we've seen some cold weather sneak in, but our snow outlook has been bleak at best. So how are we looking for the short term and for the month ahead? Our general outlook is warm through the weekend with a colder airmass due to a weak upper trough of low pressure early next week. We have no rain or snow in the forecast next seven to ten days.
For the month ahead we've got your outlook courtesy of the Climate Prediction Center. It looks as though we're in for a mild and dry December. You can likely thank a prevailing La Niña weather pattern for the anomalous warmth this month (and for much of the winter ahead). Check out the graphics below:
Temperature Outlook:
Precipitation Outlook:
Looking back at November:
We closed out a very dry but seasonal (temperature wise) month of November for El Paso. Typical temperature swings were found throughout November, with a warm open to the month and two significant cool downs in the middle and the closing days of the month. No temperature records were set, but the coldest air of the season leaked into the region on the 26th and 30th. Our only bit of rain was a trace recorded on the 15th while we saw a significant dust/wind storm on the 28th.

Watch us get a BIG SNOW storm in the coming weeks! I say we have a white Christmas!

Most of them start in remote national park from lightning strikes, and then by force of strong winds and a completely dry surrounding do they became massive and engulf everything in it's path.
Even a week out we all knew there would be pretty bad bushfires on Saturday and that people were going to be killed, but no one expected it to be of this magnitude.
Mind you, for mine, a lot of the deaths are the direct result of the whole 'stay if you can but if you decide to go, go early' ethos which has been around for decades. In a situation like that, there should only be one serious option; just go. Anyone who stays should be told they're on their own (which, when the fire hits, they essentially are anyway).

Students invited to complete survey about UW-Eau Claire experienceFebruary 11, 2014
EAU CLAIRE — In the coming weeks, freshmen and seniors at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire will be invited to participate in an online survey that will help identify areas in which they feel the university is doing well and areas where it can improve the experience it offers students.
On Feb. 18, first-year students and those with senior standing will receive an email invitation to complete the National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE), through which several hundred thousand students nationwide contribute data about their participation in programs and activities at U.S. universities.
NSSE then provides reports of the survey results to participating universities, which use the information to plan ways to better serve students, said Andrew Nelson, UW-Eau Claire's director of Institutional Research.
"We continually seek ways to help students meet their goals for success, and the NSSE survey is an important tool for us in that process," Nelson said. "We encourage students to complete the survey, as it provides us with valuable information that informs us as we work to provide them with the best learning experience possible."
Students who do not take the survey following the first email will receive a reminder on Feb. 26. Similar reminder emails will continue as needed through the month of March.
UW-Eau Claire participates in the NSSE survey every three years.

Two people were taken to a nearby hospital after their pickup truck crashed into a Circle K building in Chandler Saturday afternoon, according to a city fire department official.
Chandler police spokesman Detective David Ramer said no one inside the Circle K was injured in the incident, which occurred at about 3:30 p.m.
The store is located on the southwest corner of Chandler Boulevard and McQueen Road.
Ramer said it's likely that impairment was involved.
"These guys pulled into the Circle K, went inside the building, then got into their car, drove in the parking lot, and then lost control of the vehicle," Ramer said.
A case of beer was found lying near the front passenger's seat.
Police are still determining what led the driver to lose control of the truck.
Ramer said there may have been a third person in the truck. No one had been cited yet.
The side of the building facing McQueen road was damaged. The extent of the damage was not immediately known.

Cozy Nights Supreme Plush Throw $12.14 + Tax (Pick Up At Sears)
It gets cold here in northern Wisconsin so I'd thought I'd pass this along. I was at Sears the other night and found a super soft blanket throw (Cozy Nights Supreme Plush Throw) that I really liked, but I wanted to check out if there were any reviews online before I purchased. It turns out the throw has a five star rating (three reviewers). The list price is $39.99 and it's on sale for $14.99. When I checked out online I used the code REALJOY to save additional money -- the code knocked the price of the throw down to $12.14 + state sales tax. Supposedly, if you have over $49 in your cart and use the REALJOY code you can get free shipping, but I wasn't able to test this -- I only bought one throw and didn't receive free shipping, and I had to pick up at Sears. Not a problem for me, but it may be for others.
The throw is available in six different colors at Sears:

Sushant and Ankita are marriedComment on this story
THE buzz is that Kai Po Che star Sushant Singh Rajput tied the knot with his long-time girlfriend Ankita Lokhande a year ago!
Some sources say that when Lokhande announced to her parents a year ago that she had decided to have a live-in relationship with Rajput, they were upset.
The couple decided to get married for the sake of their families.
Lokhande, the woman lead in Zee TV's popular serial Pavitra Rishta, was apparently of the opinion that marriage would get in the way of a successful career.
But after much thought, the two decided to tie the knot, although they chose not to announce the details until they were ready.
According to other sources, however, the couple, who have been dating for more than five years, are to wed in April. – Oneindia.in

Duane Reade Meets Expectations, But 2001 Forecast Falls Short
|Earnings Scorecard
Duane Reade (DRD) reported fourth-quarter earnings Tuesday that met Wall Street's expectations, but forecast 2001 first-quarter and full-year results that were below analysts' forecasts.
For its fourth quarter ending Dec. 30, Duane Reade earned $9.6 million, or 51 cents a share, up from $6.9 million, or 38 cents a share, in the year-ago period. Two analysts surveyed by First Call/Thomson Financial estimated the New York-based drugstore chain would earn 51 cents a share.
Duane Reade posted fourth-quarter revenue of $287.3 million, up 25.1% from the same quarter a year ago. Same-store sales increased 7.5% from last year's fourth quarter.The company said it expects to report first-quarter earnings of 12 cents to 14 cents a share, which falls short of the two-analyst consensus of 15 cents a share reported by First Call/Thomson Financial. The company's full-year earnings forecast of $1.48 and $1.52 a share also is below the consensus estimate of $1.58. Duane Reade plans to open 25 new stores this year, the majority of which will be in the New York region. On Feb. 16, the company's stock reached a 52-week high of $40 a share on the New York Stock Exchange.

Things that make you happy.
Full Moons…
Sci-Fi movie marathons… KHAAAAANNNNN!!
Believing in a good cause.
Stupid catchy songs… that make you want to dance…
Being told it is going to be okay…
Coffee… with extra cinnamon creamer
Sunday Mornings… including PostSecret and Charles Osgood with his many bow-ties
Nostalgia… any kind… sweet and sad combined.
Babies… seriously… who doesn't love babies…
Assigning your friends roles on your Zombie Apocalypse Team
Daisy Chains…
The Lake
Happiness is always there… just hiding around the corner… in the polite nod of people you pass… to the sound of children at the park that you can hear if you take the time to roll down the window and listen to their screams of laughter and delight… happiness can be felt in sea salt caramel gelato… in red jelly beans… in an open window on a cool night listening to cars hum by. Happiness is found in hidden treats left by a best friend… in the sound of your child practicing the piano… in service.
Happiness is a soft bed and cool sheets… which is where I am headed now… I hope you are happy too.

According to findings from the TD Retirement Realities Poll, the top piece of advice retirees have for working Canadians is to save more money by creating a budget and sticking to it (52%). However, the poll also found that 15% of working Canadians only plan to save for retirement for less than five years before leaving the workforce. By comparison, more than two-thirds (69%) of retirees say, in hindsight, they should have saved for retirement for 25 years or more. Are working Canadians taking the proper steps needed to be financially ready to retire?
"If working Canadians don't make retirement savings a priority, day-to-day expenses and more immediate financial needs can pre-empt saving for the future. Don't get caught 30 years from now saying 'I wish I had started saving sooner'," says Kim Parlee, Vice President, TD Wealth Management. "When you start investing early, the impact of compound interest is more powerful in helping your savings grow."
Boosting retirement nest eggs? Canadians plan to work longer The poll found that a significant number of working Canadians plan to work longer than current retirees did during their careers. About two-thirds of working Canadians expect to retire in their 60s (64%): 28% in their early 60s and 36% after 65. Sixteen percent think they will keep working into their seventies. This is later in life than current retirees, who said they left the full-time workforce in their late 50s (36%) or early 60s (25%), with only 3% working into their 70s."Working longer and focusing on setting money aside for retirement at the end of your career can help bolster your savings. However, you can get much more out of your investment dollars when you contribute to savings early in your earning years and continue to do so regularly throughout your working life," says Cynthia Caskey, Vice President, Portfolio Manager and Sales Manager, TD Waterhouse Private Investment Advice. Caskey says the benefit of starting young is easy to see using the following model: a 25 year old who starts saving for retirement by investing $100 per month ( $1,200 per year) will have a nest egg of close to $200,000 at age 65*. By contrast, if someone decides to start focusing on retirement savings at age 55, for only the last ten years of his or her career, he or she must invest approximately $1,215 per month ( $14,580 per year) each year to match that same nest egg number for retirement*. Top advice from retirees for today's working Canadians:
- Save more by creating and sticking to a budget (52%)
- Contribute the maximum amount to your RRSP each year (44%)
- Pay off all debts before retiring (43%)

August has begun and brings with it all the joys of a new school year. As I prepare for my senior year in high school, I began asking myself what I needed to do to get my iPad ready for a whole new year of note-taking. So with that being said, here is my iPad Prep checklist:
1. Delete old notes
If you use Notability like I do for school, start by deleting all of your old subjects and with them all the enclosed notes. This will be the same for Evernote as well. You will need to delete these notes in Google Drive also if you had syncing enabled.
2. Add new subjects
Now that you have those old notes trashed, add your new classes to your note-taking app of choice. Have fun with this and organize them to your liking.
3. Check your storage
Summer can be full of fun, downloads, and pictures. Go to Settings > General > About and see how much free storage capacity is available on your iPad. If you're close to the margin then consider weeding through unnecessary apps, photos, etc and deleting them to make space for new education required apps and notes.
4. Check school email
If your school provides you with an email, go ahead and check it for mail. Chances are you can probably delete all the old messages from the previous school year. This was those old emails will not be in the way of new ones the come in this year.
5. Look for new apps
Apps make our lives easier and more enjoyable! Consider downloading some new educational or productivity apps to get ready for the school year. I can recommend: Notability, Wunderlist, Evernote, Google Drive, Gmail, Quizlet, Duolingo, Dropbox, Pages, and Keynote.

I'm 6 ft 1 in, and in between the medium and large on the sizing chart. Do these fit true, or small?
Wally Phillips
Member since
Hey elm5340148,
Thanks for your question. The Gore Bike Wear Fusion SO Pant fits pretty true to size so you can size up if you like a slightly baggy feel or down if you are looking for a tighter, more athletic feel.

text: It is a commonplace that new parents are overwhelmed by a "tsunami of love" when they first meet their dependent offspring. Older children, though often a source of irritation and worry, are also a source of joy, and there are few parents who can even bear to think of a world without their children. Yet, study after study has shown that those who live with children are less satisfied with their lives than those who do not; Hansen (2012) and Stanca (2012) are recent surveys. How can this be?

OT win
Central escapes with OT win over Bedford
Manchester Central's Brett Hanson tries to get a shot off over Bedford defenders Michael Kernan(4) and Jacob Capistran during the fourth quarter of their game played at Manchester Central High School in Manchester Monday. (Mark Bolton/Union Leader)
"We faced adversity and found a way to win," said Central head coach Doc Wheeler following a nail-biting 64-61 Division I boys' basketball overtime decision over Bedford at Simon Gym.
Brett Hanson led Central with 23 points and teammates Jon Martin and Tyler Kelley added 13 apiece. But with Central leading in overtime by a bucket with 4.1 seconds left, the game was decided when Central defender Mike Plentzas took a charge in the paint from Bedford junior forward Ryan Brown. Dawson Dickson of Central was fouled on the inbounds play and made a free throw for the final margin before a 26-foot 3-point attempt by Bedford guard Taylor Grande hit the iron at the buzzer.

Prison Scared Me Straight
Good job: In response to Francisco Alvarado's "Unequal Justice" on March 19: This is a great article and all true, I'm sure. How do I know this? I turned 18 in jail back in the early '80s. I was busted with a whole lot of Quaaludes and spent two months in a jail in Miami.
One night there, I saw a bum get stripped and raped right in front of me by other inmates while guards did nothing.
It was my last juvenile offense. At my hearing, I told the judge I wanted to join the Marine Corps, so he said, "Bring me a letter of intent from your recruiter and I'll consider expunging your record."
Three weeks later, I got the notice that said my record was expunged and good luck.
I did my four years in the Corps and have stayed out of trouble since, and believe me when I tell you, I've had numerous opportunities to get involved in drug trafficking and money laundering, but I have always declined.
I wish I could reach all the lost teens and young adults I see screwing up their life and their health with crack and heroin on the mean streets of Miami.
Don't Tread on Me
Desertion is immoral: These people signed a contract ("Move Out!" Megan Feldman, March 12). You cannot enlist in the military and then decide after one tour, no matter how awful it is, to run and hide in Canada. They knew full well how long they enlisted for, and they should have fulfilled their obligation.
I can only hope the units these immoral, un-American kids were in did not suffer any losses due to their immature behavior.
No, actually, it's moral: Excuse me, but in case you have not noticed, these people, unlike the Vietnam deserters, actually did report to duty. They left for moral reasons. If you haven't noticed, none of their complaints is about the fighting or the crappy food or the threat of death. They are not asking for a handout, and most of them are gainfully employed in Canada. What they are asking is that their country not to force them to turn into murderers and thieves. They all tell the stories of the nighttime raids on innocent civilians where their units ransacked homes and abused civilian families, never turning up any evidence of wrongdoing. Every soldier, seaman, Marine, pilot, or other serviceman takes an oath when he or she enlists to complete any lawful order. Clearly they are acting in the name of the oath they took. They are objecting to the fight only after seeing, with their own eyes, the lawlessness of this war. That is not fleeing responsibility. It is refusing to commit a crime simply because they were following orders.
These men and women fought for what they believed was a just cause and had the integrity to refuse to continue fighting when they realized they were assisting in the commission of atrocities. They have my sympathy and support.
Guarding a fence ain't shit: That girl guarding a fence had no cause to go AWOL. Perhaps if she saw some action, then maybe I would say, 'OK she's got a good reason to want to leave,' but being a lazy American, as she appears to be, is no excuse. The key here is that she volunteered for service because she wanted money for school. She left her country and the soldiers in her platoon to suffer.
Kitty Porn
Sex advice is obscene: In response to Raina McLeod's "Wet Is Maybe Too Wild" on March 19: I have read two articles about letters to Magic City Kitty. They were both obscene and disgusting. Text like that belongs in a porn magazine, not a newspaper. Besides that, the advice given is just making things worse. Instead of helping people avoid trouble, it encourages them to go ahead with their wildest ideas.

Pancho Bag
Luna sends her over the moon: It is true what Carlos Suarez De Jesus said about Pancho Luna in the March 12 art review, "Restless Heart." Congratulations to Pancho! He really has an endless heart and a bag of tricks for all of us.

Back in 2004, in discussing the project with the New York Daily News, he said he wanted to capture Hendrix's duality: "Jimi was wild onstage," Andre said. "Offstage, he was really calm." The rap star, whose real name is Andre Benjamin, certainly looks serene in the early photos (except, ahem, when he realizes he's being photographed). More pics below.
The fact that production has begun in earnest is a sign that the project isn't being held up by objections from Hendrix's estate. If it does make it all the way to the silver screen, it wouldn't be the first time a film depicting the superstar had to make do without authorized, original music. Showtime's made-for-TV biopic Hendrix, released in 2000, used covers of several songs (though it was poorly received).
Early reports say the film, directed by John Ridley, traces Hendrix's life in England in 1966-67, when he recorded his classic debut album, Are You Experienced?. Set to star alongside Andre 3000 are Hayley Atwell (who appeared in Captain America: First Avenger) and Imogen Poots (Fright Night).
All that's clear from the photos, really, is that Andre seems fully immersed, right down to his flared red pants.
What do you think of the first photos of Andre 3000 as Hendrix? Let us know on Facebook, Twitter or in the comments.

How to Create Cleavage
The women on our best celebrity cleavage list distract us with their chest-enhancing outfits so often, we'd almost assume their boobs just innately look that defined. But Sofia Vergara and Blake Lively have stylists, makeup artists and an arsenal of products at their disposal, and we're sure they use them to make their assets look their very best.
Rather than get wrapped up in the unfairness, we'll just steal their tips and tricks instead. For those less endowed, less perky, whatever, here's a road map to cleavage of the hard-earned variety. Like Cameron Diaz at the Oscars after party this year. She's famously joked about her small boobs before, but uh...
The Shortcuts
Let's start with obvious. You want cleavage, you stuff your bra: it works. This handy kit has fillers with a surprisingly lifelike consistency (creepy, but true), and double stick tape that will help it all stay put.
The Bra
Good push-up bras should be padded mostly on the bottom and sides of the cups, but not the top of the bra cup. That part should just be very lightly lined so the lip of the bra won't stick out.
Also, the straps are just as important as the cups: look for ones that cross in the back, to create a motion that pulls your boobs together.
The Extras
Get one of these so you can convert the bras you already own to boob-enhancers.
The Bra
If padded push-ups aren't your thing, look for a sporty, stretchy bra instead— but go a size down from normal. It'll push your boobs up and outwards, while applying even pressure that's not too uncomfortable. Just make sure the bra has a low enough neckline so you can show off the effect (super-conservative sports bras won't work).
The Makeup
Both dark bronzer and light shimmer powders work as cleavage enchancers: either sweep shimmer in a T shape between your boobs and below your collarbone, or contour your boobs by adding a little (subtle) dark powder between them. Or do both—just make sure you blend.
The Clothes
Even if they don't physically do anything, clothes can help too, via optical illusion. Sweetheart necklines like this make boobs look a little fuller. Ruffles and tiers of fabric around the neckline help, too. Avoid dart details at the sides of the chest (a definite flattener) and straight across, horizontal necklines. Opt for a slight v-neck instead.
