The wife spent her afternoon at the mall and is excited to show off her purchases. She announces that she's coming out of the bedroom. The slinky, black number is impressive at first, but soon you realize that a size 6 dress on a size 8 frame comes up a tad short in the flattery department.
"No, sweetheart, I don't think this outfit makes you look fat," you reply.
For the small businessman or middle class employee, meeting your financial obligations is like trying to navigate the Khumbu Icefall at Mt. Everest. You proceed cautiously looking for solid footing, all the while realizing that unpredictable shifts in the terrain can create yawning crevasses into which you can easily plunge. The route is treacherous, intimidating and highly personal. Only another struggling climber can appreciate the difficulty of the journey.
What on earth can a scholarly meditation of mankind's fickle journey through history possibly have in common with the characteristics of exponential entrepreneurship; Coca-Cola's design principles and agility; Baby Boomers not only postponing retirement but also launching businesses; or the role conversations play in the successful implementation of corporate strategies?
The world is changing faster than ever before. Such volatility and uncertainty is frightening for some and exciting for others. getAbstract falls into the latter category, because changing environments always provide inspiration for great books. The books getAbstract selects for its library are all relevant to business, but they share one other characteristic: They never advise "business as usual."
When it comes to transforming your organization, good intentions will only get you to the starting line. The "whys" and "whats" of change management are significant, of course, but turning theory into practice requires direction. Therein lies the critical difference between Vlatka Hlupic's The Management Shift and other books that promise to retool and revitalize your culture. Hlupic, a professor at the University of Westminster and founder and CEO of London's Drucker Society, provides the "hows," so you can enhance performance and sustain success.
Like many other business experts, Hlupic agrees that the top-down management paradigm is about as practical as a BlackBerry. While it may work for select organizations, the trend toward innovation, collaboration and inclusiveness is undeniable. Hlupic suggests that if you want to remain competitive and profitable, you better empower your people and unleash their creativity and enthusiasm. Hlupic, an in-demand speaker and consultant, spent some time with getAbstract explaining the essence of The Management Shift.
"Look, kid," the big boss says from behind a solid oak desk, smoke billowing from his pungent cigar as his triple chin spills over the Windsor knot in his tie. "I know ya' got some talent. Come work for me. I'll give you a nice salary and good benefits. Maybe someday you'll have your own office."
The young man accepts the offer – with the tacit understanding that he'll spend the next 20 years plowing forward with his head down, obeying orders without so much as a whimper. The employer-employee relationship was pretty simple in the old days – and undoubtedly still exists. But it's a flawed and outdated managerial style. Working folks are looking for more than financial rewards and even job security – they desperately want to matter.
Recently, we sat down with executive coach, Scott Eblin, to discuss leadership. This time, we turn to the concept of mindfulness, which Scott examines in his most recent book Overworked and Overwhelmed. The topic, which Arianna Huffington termed the "third metric" of success, is extremely timely. In our fight or flight culture, we are beginning to understand that accomplishment can no longer be measured simply by fortune and power. Instead, we must figure in the quality of our life – our health and happiness – as measures of our achievement. But in our 24/7 corporate culture, how can we ensure our net worth and title are in line with our mental health? We spoke with Scott to find out.
If you've delighted in Toy Story, Finding Nemo, The Incredibles or any of Pixar's other animated films, then you recognize the studio's trademark creative genius. But you don't win numerous Academy Awards and generate billions of dollars in ticket and video sales by happenstance. You need gifted employees, keen business acumen and, above all, an inspirational leader who understands and can execute your organization's vision.
Ed Catmull, co-founder and president of Pixar Animation Studios, is credited with revolutionizing the animated film industry and establishing Pixar as the gold standard. He's known as a dynamic, insightful and humble man who relishes the challenge of melding diverse interests into a unified, cohesive unit.
Catmull's book, Creativity, Inc., details Pixar's remarkable achievements and provides profound insight into Catmull's managerial philosophy and methodology. Though he's a strong, decisive CEO, Catmull is a far cry from the old-time stereotypical executive bully who rules with an iron fist and swears by his infallibility. Quite to the contrary, Catmull wears his vulnerability as a badge of honor and sees inestimable value in admitting to mistakes and misjudgments. In fact, one of his core principals focuses on uncovering "unseen problems" and attempting to ensure that they are not repeated.
"We will always have problems, many of them hidden from our view," explains Catmull. "We work hard to uncover these problems, even if doing so means making ourselves uncomfortable (and) we marshal all of our energies to solve (them)."
When it comes to industry dominance and profitability, everyone knows Google is a colossus. But the company is also a giant in the eyes of its workforce. In results from Glassdoor's annual Employees' Choice Awards, Google co-founder Larry Page was voted the best large company CEO. Glassdoor, the career website, bases its awards solely on anonymous input from employees.
Google also was ranked No. 1 in two other categories – best places to work and compensation and benefits – and No. 3 in cultures and values. Glassdoor's large company category includes organizations with more than 1,000 employees. Page, who received a 97% approval rating, was followed by Nike's Mark Parker (97%), H-E-B's Charles Butt (96%), Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg (95%) and Ultimate Software's Scott Scherr (95%). Employees in the United Kingdom also rated Page No. 1 (99%), followed by Ken Chenault (98%) of American Express, David Dyson (97%) of Three, Martin Bennett (97%) of HomeServe UK and Carolyn McCall (96%) of easyJet.
"Gaining the trust and approval of an entire workforce is one of the most difficult yet rewarding responsibilities for any leader," said Robert Hohman, Glassdoor CEO and co-founder.
Scott Eblin, is the co-founder and president of The Eblin Group, a professional development firm that supports executives and managers in exhibiting leadership presence by being fully present. The popular coach and speaker has also penned two of our favorite business books The Next Level and Overworked and Overwhelmed, the latter of which New York Times best selling author Marshall Goldsmith says "will fundamentally change how you live each day." We were lucky enough to have the chance to sit down with Scott recently to discuss his philosophies and how we can overcome the fight or flight feeling so many of us frequently feel.
You're cruising home from work in your slick, late model, fully electric-powered sedan when suddenly the car on your right swerves into your lane, creases your front bumper and brings traffic to a grinding halt.
You swing open your door and climb out to investigate, only to discover that the offending vehicle is one of those new-fangled driverless numbers that operate autonomously. Great. Now how are you supposed to get the insurance information or fill out a police report without both sides of the story? And who is going to be held liable for damage or injuries?
Welcome to your future.
If you think this scenario is a science fiction fantasy from Isaac Asimov, then you are blissfully unaware of arguably the hottest topic in technology – artificial intelligence (AI). The very notion that machines potentially could pose a genuine threat to human beings is enough to unhinge even the most sophisticated minds among us.
Elon Musk, founder of the firm responsible for inventing and manufacturing the widely praised Tesla electric automobile, told an audience at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 2014 that AI is akin to "summoning the demon," according to "The Economist" magazine. Prominent British philosopher Nick Bostrom considers sophisticated artificial intelligence as an "existential risk" to humanity.
The recent sci-fi thriller hit, "Ex Machina," cast an imposing light on the AI phenomenon, spinning the tale of a highly evolved female robot being evaluated for her human qualities and whether, in fact, she possesses consciousness. One of the film's main characters predicts that the development of a robot that thinks, feels and acts like a human is inevitable.
"One day the AIs are going to look back on us the same way we look at fossil skeletons on the plains of Africa," he says. "An upright ape living in the dust with crude language and tools, all set for extinction."
Perhaps. But for now, a more level-headed approach can be found in John Frank Weaver's Robots Are People Too, a getAbstract selection that's drawing plenty of attention. The author, an attorney and expert on AI and the law, acknowledges the vast power and potential of artificial intelligence. Instead of lobbing doomsday warheads, though, Weaver intelligently discusses the ramifications of AI as it applies to creativity, privacy and cultural and legal issues.
Did you hear the one about a couple of Second City executives who thought their experiences with improvisational comedy could actually benefit those in the corporate world?
It's no joke.
Tom Yorton and Kelly Leonard aren't suggesting that your department managers do 10 minutes of standup on the conference room table. Besides, most suits think running a business is about as funny as a colonoscopy. Nor are Yorton and Kelly asking you to search for the next Gilda Radner, Steve Carell, Stephen Colbert or Tina Fey in your mailroom. The intent behind their book, Yes, And, is to demonstrate that the same collaborative principles upon which the famous Chicago improv troupe is built can also be applied to your business.
"When we teach comedy in the business world, it's not in the service of pure entertainment," Yorton said. "We're doing it to help change behavior and get people to try things they otherwise wouldn't do within the typical stiff, boring patterns of communication."
While the authors provide an entertaining back-stage peek at Second City and the many personalities who rocketed to comedic fame, their fundamental purpose is to share the secrets of successful innovation and teamwork. Second City, a comedy improv pacesetter for half a century, initiated its corporate solutions outreach some 20 years ago. Now the company organizes roughly 400 business workshops annually.
Stephen Young, author of the top-selling book, Micromessaging: Why Great Leadership is Beyond Words, is Senior Partner of Insight Education Systems, a management consulting firm specializing in leadership and organizational development services. As a recognized leader in his field, the former Senior Vice President and Chief Diversity Officer at JPMorgan Chase frequently consults with senior executives and the management teams of numerous Fortune 500 companies, and businesses worldwide. Indeed, his widely acclaimed seminar MicroInequities: The Power of Small™ has been embraced by over 15% of the Fortune 500 corporations and is being touted by corporate leaders as the new paradigm for diversity and leadership.
Stephen's work has been featured in numerous business articles including The Wall Street Journal, Harvard Business Review newsletter, and by Oprah Winfrey in several issues of O magazine. In addition, TIME magazine featured Stephen's MicroInequities program in their annual "What's next?" in the leadership category.
Inspiring so many powerful players in the corporate and academic worlds – not to mention Oprah – is no small feat, and so we jumped at the chance to sit down and delve a little deeper into the theory of micromessaging and how an awareness of it can help to create great leaders, and in turn impact productivity.
We believe that knowledge of micromessaging is the cornerstone that defines our ability to be an effective leader. Without this knowledge and skill, we merely function as task-driven colleagues or managers. When someone learns how to apply these concepts they are able to alter loyalty, motivation, inspiration and – ultimately – the performance of others.
getAbstract: Could you explain the concept of micromessaging?
Stephen Young: Micromessaging is about the subtle things that we do and say that reveal infinitely more information than simply the words we use. We don't consciously think about the looks, the gestures, the tone of voice, and all the innuendos that makes us believe we're doing the right thing.
For example, I could come into the office in the morning, greet you, and do all the right things: shake your hand, and say, "Good morning Hannah, how are you? How was your weekend? How is the project coming along? What about that other situation? Good. If you need my help, I'll be in my office. It's good to see you." Before heading to my office, however, I take a couple of steps to the right to greet one of your colleagues, and you observe me lean back, tilt my head, smile, open my arms, and say, "Hey! Billy, man, what's going on? It's good to see you." And you immediately know that Billy and I are connected, and you and I are not.
So, to your point, neither greeting was wrong, but an important message was conveyed via their delivery.
Brian Souza is the New York Times bestselling author of The Weekly Coaching Conversation, as well as the critically acclaimed Become Who You Were Born To Be. Today, the founder and president of ProductivityDrivers, is a much sought after keynote speaker, and a highly acclaimed thought leader whose work has been featured in dozens of newspapers and magazines around the world including The European Business Review, Fast Company, and Success Magazine.
Indeed, Brian's achievements and accolades are highly impressive and they become even more so when you realize that he juggles them while remaining a loyal husband to his childhood sweetheart, and doting father to his two young daughters. And that makes us love him all the more.
With The Weekly Coaching Conversation about to be rereleased in hard back, along with Brian launching a brand new website to complement and build on concepts addressed in the book, we figured the timing was perfect to sit down and catch up.
getAbstract: Your book was an instant New York Times bestseller, and is one of getAbstract's top 10 most downloaded summaries. Why do you think it's resonating so well with so many people around the world?
Brian Souza: I believe it's because the message is new – it's different – it's easy to understand, simple to apply, and best of all, it works.
getAbstract: What do you see as the key differentiators?
Brian Souza: I think mainly because it's fun to read. My goal wasn't just to educate; I wanted to entertain. Secondly, it's a quick read – you could easily complete it on a short, two hour flight. Plus it's packed with tons of actionable takeaways.
Were you one of the lucky few to attend the 2015 TED Conference in Vancouver last week? Voracious reader, philanthropist and Microsoft founder Bill Gates was on-hand to share some of his favorite books as part of his presentation notes. You might remember that we recently featured John Brooks's Business Adventures – Bill Gates's and Warren Buffett's favorite business book. In his TED Conference review, Gates writes that "it's certainly true that many of the particulars of business have changed. But the fundamentals have not. Brooks's deeper insights about business are just as relevant today as they were back then. In terms of its longevity, Business Adventures stands alongside Benjamin Graham's The Intelligent Investor, the 1949 book that Warren [Buffett] says is the best book on investing that he has ever read."
In Joe Studwell's How Asia Works the author challenges the belief that countries should leave economic development to market forces. He uses economic history to show that almost every advanced economy used protectionism at some stage to boost growth. He cites East Asia's remarkable record to show why poor countries must remain steadfast in pursuing their goals, unswayed by trendy economic advice or pressure from their own entrepreneurs.
Our third pick from Gates's TED list is Making the Modern World. Scientist and policy analyst Vaclav Smil's approach is historical and multidisciplinary: He compares how algae, birds and beavers use materials to how humans use them, and traces human development from the first stone tools through the Bowflex machine. In his review, Gates notes that, "Smil is interested in the materials we use to meet the demands of modern life. Can we make enough steel for all those cars and enough concrete for all those roads? What are the risks if we do? In other words, can we bring billions of people out of poverty without destroying the environment?" Looking for a staggering statistic that might just keep you up nights? China used more cement in the past three years than the U.S. used in the entire 20th century.

Linde chief legal officer Nick Deeming is to step down this September, stating that he is "looking for a new challenge".
Deeming became legal head following the £7.5bn takeover of BOC by Linde in September last year.
In his tenure as chief legal officer, Deeming managed to slash the number of external law firm advisers from 150 to just five.
He has only just completed the integration of the two legal departments, reviewed the company's legal panel and incorporated a new legal model dubbed the 'Linde Model'.
His replacement has not yet been found.

Hi folks,
I know this is a not strictly K12 stuff, but do know this has been done.
I have a client who wants to migrate from MS to Linux on his machines. He would be willing to make a donation to a Linux based project in lieu of MS licenses.
I can see how a thin client model could work well.
He does have specific requirements that I can discuss later, should this be necessary.
For those on list who have used K12LTSP as the base for an internet cafe. Could you tell me any gotchas that you have struck, and what has worked in your situation.
Thanks for your help.

Regarding American Gothic, what makes the painting balanced?
1 Answer | Add Yours
Several elements enter into the balance of Grant Wood's famous painting, American Gothic: line, shape, color, design, symbolism--even a certain ambiguity.
- Line - For the most part, there is the repetition of vertical lines in Wood's iconic painting; the planks of the frame house and its first-floor windows, the lines in the overalls and pitchfork, the man's coat, the faces of the man and wife/daughter. These vertical lines are met with right angles made by the horizontal lines of the roof. The lines create a symmetry as just as with the weathervanes on the house's roof and in the trees, there is a perfect imaginary perpendicular that supports the man and woman who stand so stiffly.
- Shape - There is a repetition of shape that unifies and balances the painting. For instance, the shape of the pitchfork is repeated in the overalls and the white shirt of the man, just as it is the design of the Gothic window. Even the oval heads of the man and woman repeat this shape.
- Color - Essentially monochromatic, the painting also has no intensity of color--even the red barn is faded--except for the black coat and dress of the figures.
- Design - The entire painting lacks movement, but is geometrically pieced together, providing a mathematical balance with the spaces equal on the sides and middle of the figures. Notice how the gothic window resides between the man and the woman. There is a clear lack of artistic perspective in this painting (in photography, one calls this "depth of field"). Interestingly, too, the calico of the womans apron is repeated in the drapes inside the gothic window.
- Symbolism - The sharp pitchfork and austere appearance of the figures who seem carved from wood themselves, along with the Gothic window, suggest some satire upon the Quaker-like man and the ornate window, suggestive of an emotionalism and pretentiousness. In addition, there may be the suggestion of the grotesque and uncivilized, crude activities of the gothic genre.
- Ambiguity - Because of the photographic design that is mixed with some rather eccentric placements of window and people, in the Midwestern setting, there is a certain unified ambiguity about the theme of this painting. As one critic writes,
...[Wood] combines a personal, iconography drawing upon a visual pun, portrait caricature, comic satire and rural regionalism with an eccentric unification of 'decorative' elements derived from local sources...the modest Carpenter Gothic house abounding with social and cultural implication.

Instagram Worthy Scoops
Oddies Foodies
Oddies has got to be one of the most Insta-worthy favourite ice cream places in Hong Kong, no questions asked! With their awesome, innovative flavours and mouthwatering sundae options, it's the go to place for us when we need to cool off in the summer. Conveniently located in Wan Chai and Sheung Wan, Oddies is great for a quick weekend catch up spot or a cheeky post-dinner treat. They're known for their signature Night Wolf sundae (HK$49), an indulgent mix of soft gelato, caramelised banana ice cream, brownies, passionfruit panna cotta and best of all, a true HK style chocolate chip eggette – a must-try for anyone with a sweet tooth!

Emack & Bolio's
Hardcore ice cream fans need to get their cameras out this summer… the multi-award winning American ice cream store, Emack & Bolio's has been churning (pun intended!) out some of the most fantastic creations since they opened last year. We're talking outrageously good sundaes and delicious scoops of creamy ice cream laden with childhood cereal fruit loops or Rice Krispies covered cones, with many toppings and sauces to boot.
Emack & Bolio's, 26 Cochrane Street, Central, Hong Kong, 2505 6626
www.facebook.com/emackandbolioshk, www.emackandbolios.
Smile Yogurt
You can bet there's something to smile about as you click your camera and say "cheese!". Smile Yogurt does froyo right with their fantastical toppings and addends piled high onto the cup. Snap quick, as you wouldn't want this creation to melt! Try their popular Mango Fever with fresh chunks of mango and mango sauce drizzled between layers of sweet vanilla frozen yogurt.
Smile Yogurt is available at various locations in Kowloon, and in Causeway Bay
Basic Staples
Holly Brown
The gelato at Holly Brown has been a favourite of ours since we first laid eyes on the caramel sauce (Sassy tip: ask for extra. Always). With flavours to suit everyone, and the option to customise your additions, we really couldn't ask for a more satisfying sugar fix in Hong Kong's sweltering heat! Offering everything from Oreos and brownies to almonds and fresh fruit, the large scoop is (almost) a dessert for two. Plus, their new crazy gelato shakes are a challenge we're willing to take on…
Holly Brown is available at various locations in Kowloon, on Hong Kong Island and the New Territories
XTC Gelato
An oldie but a goodie, XTC Gelato is definitely one of our go-to spots for a scoop. With their massive array of unique, seasonal flavours (such as Lavender, Lychee Coconut and Malted Soy Bean) there is always something for everyone. Additionally, for special occasions lots of other goodies are available such as their Tiramisu Cake dusted with Valrhona Chocolate and mini bombe Alaska domes, which can be customised with any combination of flavours. For those who are a little more health conscious, XTC is a great option as all their gelato is made with fresh, all natural ingredients, so you don't have to feel too guilty about indulging in this treat. To top it all off, XTC has stores conveniently located in Central, TST, and Causeway Bay, AND their gelato is also available in various supermarkets across HK – so you can always get your fix!
Ice Monkey
This tiny ice cream store in Kennedy Town lured us in immediately with the fun turquoise exterior and the cute monkey mascots. Situated on Catchick Street this little dessert shop is a perfect hot day destination. We are partial to their Caramel Biscuit flavour, but they also do Monkey milkshakes and smoothies too for those of you who like to drink your dessert through a straw.
Ice Monkey, 78-86 Catchick Street (corner of Davis Street), Kennedy Town, 2362 0822
Practically an institution in Hong Kong, there is nothing more classic than a Mr.Softee ice cream truck. Nothing brings back nostalgia like that red-white-blue truck does and the cherry on the sundae! And the music always seems to call out to us… They might have a few options to choose from but we've always gone for the traditional soft serve ice cream cone that never fails to hit the spot on a hot, humid day. There are very few of them left around Hong Kong but there will always be one outside the Central or TST ferry piers.
Ice Cream Sandwiches
Little Bao
We've always been fans of Little Bao and we can't get enough of their famous Little Bao Ice Cream sandwich. With their signature flavours like the Green Tea Ice Cream Bao and the Salt Ice Cream Bao, you'll definitely be back for more… trust us! The ice cream melts quickly as the baos are fried upon ordering, so eat fast! After one bite, we're sure you'll be gobbling this one up in no time.
Little Bao, 66 Staunton Street, Central, Hong Kong; 2194 0202, www.little-bao.com
Read more: That Girl: May Chow of Little Bao
Known for their irresistible donuts, this place is a sanctuary for the sweet toothed! When it comes to cooler sugary snacks, they offer fun, alternative ice cream flavours, only dealing all organic and geo-free goodies. We couldn't ask for much more – especially after sampling their Toffee Crunch Homemade ice cream that can be sandwiched between any of their homemade cookies. A chocolate toffee crunch bar crushed and swirled with vanilla ice cream sandwich? Yes please!
Munchies, 4 Shin Hing St, Sheung Wan, Hong Kong
Elephant Grounds
These epic ice cream sandwiches are more than enough to make you come back for more – plus, if you need extra incentive, they have new flavours every week! Be warned girls, breakfast will never be the same after you've laid eyes on their 'Cereal Killer', complete with Burberry yogurt ice cream, oatmeal crunch cookies (and featuring a generous amount of Fruit Loops!). Plus, they do killer coffee if you're on the hunt for a bean-buzz, girls!

Guilt-Free Treats
Wild Mylk
For the lactose-intolerants out there who enjoy a cool treat in summer, Wild Mylk is where it's at. It's dairy and gluten-free. Focusing on seasonal flavours that are local, organic and fresh, these delicious delights proudly wave the "made in Hong Kong" flag. We tried the Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough and the Maca Karmel Sutra (Salted Caramel), which were both divine!
Wild Mylk is available online here
Happy Cow
Just because you can't eat dairy, doesn't mean you can't indulge! The awesome Happy Cow hit Hong Kong in 2012 and has been delivering delicious, locally produced, plant-based ice-cream ever since. Lactose intolerant or vegan Sassy Girls everywhere – rejoice! This is the perfect substitute. It's just as creamy and moreish as the milky stuff, but much healthier than your regular tub of soft serve. The wholesome, natural ingredients produce flavours we all know and love such as Chocolate Chip, Salted Caramel Swirl and Cherry Almond Fudge, but make sure you look out for creative mixtures such as the refreshing Lime in the Coconut, Chai Tea and Hibiscus Goji… fantastic for Summer.
Happy Cow is available online here as well as Happy Cow locations are available here. $35 for 125ml, $192 for a 6 pack.
Yo Mama
If you're on the hunt for a fat-free alternative, HK fave Yo Mama is a frozen yoghurt lover's delight. Choose from a base flavour, including Green Tea, Lemon Tart or Tiramisu, and load it up with toppings. You can add fruit (if you're really trying to be healthy) or go the complete opposite and drizzle your yo' with chocolate syrup and load it with crushed digestive biscuits. Mmmm…
Yo Mama is available at five locations in Hong Kong
Ice 'N' Lean
If you've been feeling the bloat recently, why not indulge in protein ice cream from Ice'N'Lean? That's right, you heard us correctly… protein ice cream! The Choco-Lite is full of high quality grass-fed whey protein(great for building a bit of muscle – we all want FLOTUS' arms!) and natural, simple ingredients. It's also gluten and soy free. And the best bit: zero refined sugar. We want this in our freezer all year round to satisfy our sweet tooth…
Available from Epic MMA, Ursus Fitness, The Skin Gym, The Store, Just Green, Torq Cycle, Spark Fight and Fitness
Ice Lollies
Nice Pops
Gourmet ice pops that come in a variety of flavours, colours and booze options? Sign us up!

I See I See
Serving up pretty handcrafted ice pops and Hokkaido milk 'snowflakes', this place has been a top choice for all and it's definitely no surprise why! The refreshing ice pop flavours include juicy honeydew melon, tomato 'gazpacho', chilli mango and many more – perfect for grabbing on the go when you need to cool down! Not only do we love how cute these ice pop and 'snowflakes' look (another one for Instagram!), but we also love the bright and cheery interior, which has this epic quote written on the wall: "Happiness is eating your ice pop before it melts" – how true!

Lola's Ice Pops

Catch them at pop-up shops and markets all over town or order in bulk on their website – plus they're now available 24/7 at Saffron Bakery in Stanley and The Bottle Shop in Sai Kung too. The Watermelon Basil or Mango Lassi should be just the ticket.

Unique Flavours
Via Tokyo
If you have a penchant for matcha, you really do not need to go anywhere else but Via Tokyo. This popular little soft serve ice cream store has lines out the door every day as people keep returning for their different variations of matcha creations. The Original Matcha Cone ($32) is definitely a favourite. But one of our top picks happens to be the Royal Milk Tea soft serve which is a great balance of bitter and sweet with a creamy smooth texture… it even comes with a sugar cookie! This one is hard to beat. Just note that this option is only served on Wednesdays.

Broker William Mayo celebrates selection for national honor By DAVID DEKUNOER Staff Writer A New Braunfels broker has been named to a prestigious group of national businessmen whose accomplishments will be mentioned in a directory that will be published in 1996. William N. Mayo, owner of William N. Mayo Investments, has been named among "Who's Who In Executives and Professionals'' for the 1996-97 directory. The "Who's Who" directory is registered at the Library of Congress in Washington, D C. "My God! I am elated," an overjoyed Mayo said when he learned of his selection. The Laredo, Texas native has been a stock broker for 20 years. For nine year*, he worked for Merrill Lynch in San Antonio, followed by five years at Shearson—American Express. In 1989, he moved to New Braunfels, where he opened Mayo Investments. Mayo said the reason he has been successful is because he tells his customers the way it is. "I give them brumal honesty and the facts," Mayo said. Mayo has his own hour-long financial pro gram on San Antonio radio station KTSA, which can be heard on Sunday evenings. In the past few years, Mayo was a financial correspondent for both San Antonio TV stations KSAT and KENS. Mayo is also a financial guest on the "Hints from Heloise" radio program on WOAI. He said there is a possibility of a deal with TV station KMOL in which he would return to the screen as a financial correspondent. Recently, Mayo made the national spotlight when his prediction thin Chrysler'® stock would go down because of a takeover attempt by Kirk Kerkonan was aired on CNBC. "A friend of mine who used to work at KSAT 12, Tony Fama, now works at a station in Minneapolis—St. Paul," Mayo said. "He called me and I told him the stock would go down He used that information and fed it to CNBC, who used it over the air with my name." Mayo's prediction turned out to be true Mayo serves as treasure! of the Canal County Water Oriented Recreation District board of directors. His family is also involved in many philanthropic causes in New Braunfels Ducks Unlimited members raise $30,000 at local banquet By DAVID DEKUNDER staffWr,ter_ *We sold 250 tickets, which The eighteenth annual New Braunfels Ducks Unlimited (DU) Banquet held at the Knights of Columbus hall on Tuesday was a tremendous success, DU Chairman Jim Cook said. "We have not finished counting the money, but our estimates show that we raised $30,000, which is roughly $ 1,000 more than we raised last year," Cook said. "We sold 250 tickets, which means we had a IOO percent sellout. I was well pleased with the turnout." The funds from the banquet will be used to help in the preservation of wetlands in the United States, Canada and Mexico. These wetlands are the home for many waterfowl — including ducks and geese — who use these wetlands for winter nesting grounds. Ducks Unlimited was founded in 1937, and since its inception has raised $891 million for the preservation of wetlands habitat that benefit of many waterfowl. In 1994-95, Ducks Unlimited raised $71.7 million. The group claims over a half million members. Cook said the banquet exceeded last year's total because of the caring attitude of the DU means we had a IOO percent sellout.' — Jim Cook membership. "Most of our members are sportsmen and conservationists who really care for the preservation of the wetlands habitat and the waterfowl," Cook said. "They are the ones who deserve the thanks." Jim Rutta, chairman of Texas Ducks Unlimited, was on hand for the festivities, the live auction and the catered meal rn a special guest for the local DU chapter. The fund-raising efforts of all the DU chapters have paid off* Cook said, because this a record year fa the number of birds who will be migrating south. "The biologists who work with Ducks Unlimited say that the migratory flight of ducks, geese and other waterfowl will exceed 80 million this year," Cook said. "This is the biggest number of migratory birds in modem hiftory and the most since DU was formed (in 1937)." A high speed chase Saturday morning, which stalled in New Braunfels, ended in San Antonio with two men dead and one charged with two counts of manslaughter. "We got the call at 6: IO a.m. Saturday that there were two suspicious vehicles in the Summerwood subdivision," said New Braunfels Police Lieutenant John Wommack. The most suspicious vehicle was a dark colored truck with three males in it and a tool box on the back, he said. An officer driving by on Loop 337 turned in to Summer-wood just as the truck was coming out and began to follow the truck onto Loop 337. The truck accelerated before the police car had its lights or siren on, Wommack said. The truck turned onto Business Loop 81 and accelerated ev en more — by this time the police car had its siren on and lights flashing to make the truck pull over. "The truck went down the business loop to where it joins the frontage road under the freeway," Wommack said. "It made a right turn across the median and ended up on IH-35 going south." A second NBPD unit had joined the chase south of Walnut Avenue. A Comal County Sheriff s car and a Garden Ridge Police car joined the chase as it headed tow ard San Antonio. "They were going IOO miles an hour with three police units chasing them," Wommack said. "The driver would not stop." "Around Live Oak they were throwing the tool box and other articles out, trying to stop the police vehicles," he said. The driver of the truck took 410 South. "Then he tried to exit to I-IO from the center lane," Wommack said. "He didn't make the turn." The truck went through a drainage ditch and came to rest upside down against a post. The two passengers were thrown from the mick. Center passenger Richard Stetson of San Antonio, 23, died at the scene. Right-seat passenger Marceline Martinez of San .Antonio, 18, died later at a San Antonio hospital. The dnver of the car, Joaquin Ah arez of San Antonio, 21, is hospitalized and charged with two counts of manslaughter. The truck was reported stolen from the Spring Park apartments as the police were working on the accident. Alvarez had an outstanding warrant at the time of the accident, Wommack said. "The whole thing took probably 25 minutes," he said. Whether the driv er of the truck was under the influence of drugs or alcohol is still under investigation. Man injured in accident dies at San Antonio hospital By SUSAN FLYLNT ENGLAND Staff Writer A New Braunfels man injured in a Nov. IO vehicle accident in front of New Braunfels High School died Sunday — but not from injuries due to the wreck, according to the San Antonio Medical Examiner's office. Robert A. Beutler, 34, succumbed to an infection due to a hernia in the digestive system, said Medical Examiner Carolyn Revercomb. It appeared to be a long-standmg condition, she said, and was not due to the accident. Buetler was riding behind the dnver of a Comal County Community Services van when it was hit by a truck pulling onto Loop 337 from NBHS. He was taken to McKenna Memonal Hospital and later transferred to Northeast Baptist Hospital, where he passed away. The 16-year-old dnver of the truck was charged with failure to yield from a stop intersection.

What Students Say About Online Classes
"I was very reluctant to take online classes, but because of my various roles as a wife, mother, full-time employee, and student my time was limited…. Online classes have helped with managing my time in these various roles, and have been a true blessing to both my family and my learning experience at WCC."—F. Robertson

One of the most enjoyable parts of Christmas is diving into the décor, style and design that makes the season so unique. Perhaps your personal proclivities err on the side of the showy: you delight in blow-up figures affixed to the lawn and an array of lights draped around the house. Perhaps your style is more muted, though, and you find inspiration in the transition from fall foliage to winter whites. If the latter applies, finding classy and elegant Christmas accessories is your mission. You are likely to sidestep bright colors in favor of rich neutral hues. Where do you find Christmas supplies to match your style?
If you are also a creative person, you know well how much fun it can be to find inspiration in the unlikeliest of places. Christmas offers some of the best opportunities for this. Rather than stocking up on store bought decorations, repurpose boxes, twine, wood and any other natural-looking materials you have around the house. The potential is endless. You can create garlands, wrapping paper and any other Christmas decorations that can bring some artsy inspiration to your home. DIY projects let you completely customize the look and nail the balance between classy and creative.
For stationary and other Christmas supplies, it may be a little more difficult to produce everything you need, and there are options available to make it easy for you. If you are looking for a neutral Christmas card design to match the rest of the décor and tone you have created, you can find options at Tiny Prints. Customizing your cards and sending them to loved ones is a great way to share both your style and your love. Add gorgeous gifts like personalized pillows, and you can celebrate Christmas in truly classic style.

"The cards felt of quality in your hands. They were not only beautiful with a black and white photo, they looked elegant and felt elegant."
"This is a gorgeous card. I like the "frozen" look to it. The snowflake cut-outs are amazingly crisp and clean. The layer of blue on the left side is much more subtle than it appears on the screen. I actually wish it was light blue all throughout instead of the yellow-ish beige-y tint on the right side. I also would've enjoyed the option to add a picture with caption on the backside. Overall though, this has to be my favorite card design, possibly ever."
"the quality and the vintage look of these cards were beautiful! I received many compliments on how pretty our cards were this year :-)"
"This was my first time ordering from Tiny Prints. Super easy to create my card and add my photos. Lots of designs to choose from and loved this one since I have 2 puppies! The paper quality of the card is excellent! They are a nice heavy card, not like your typical photo paper cards. Will definitely order again!"
"Everyone loved the back of the card adn the bone shaped message. I just wish the message could have been printed a little bigger. all in all a great card!"

Top 420 Events For 2015
4/20 is just ten days away. I have been compiling a list of events (which is a daunting task, because there are so many out there), which can be found below. I'll be updating this list as my day job and life allow over the next ten days, so don't consider it a polished finished post just yet. If I didn't post an event, it's because I haven't had time to add it yet, not because I'm not recognizing it as a fun thing to do, so please keep that in mind.
Please help me out by e-mailing me at email@example.com with any leads on events in your area, or post them in the comments so that others can benefit from your knowledge. I will be posting this list on 4/20 as well to remind people of what's out there. April 20th is on a Monday this year, so many events will occur over the previous weekend. With no further delay, below is the messy list of 4/20 events that I have compiled so far:
High Times Cannabis Cup
April 18-20th
Denver Mart 451 East 58th Avenue in Denver
More details about the event at the event homepage
Cannabis Awareness Walk at the state Capitol in Salem

Federal Government Unwittingly Admits Cannabis Kills Cancer
A group of federal researchers commissioned to prove the government's claim that marijuana has "no medicinal value" may have unwittingly let some crucial research slip through the cracks, forcing the United States to admit that cannabis can kill cancer.
Although, at first glimpse, the latest claim appears to be a cruel April Fools' prank from Nora D. Volkow, director of the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), but after careful inspection, it seems that the federal government is actually supporting a recent study which has determined that marijuana has the power to eliminate cancer cells.
The research, which was conducted by a team of scientists at St. George's University of London, found the two most common cannabinoids in marijuana, tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol(CBD), weakened the ferocity of cancer cells and made them more susceptible to radiation treatment. The study, which was published last year in the medical journal Molecular Cancer Therapies, details the "dramatic reductions" in fatal variations of brain cancer when these specific cannabinoids were used in conjunction with radiation therapy.
"We've shown that cannabinoids could play a role in treating one of the most aggressive cancers in adults," wrote lead researcher Dr. Wai Liu, in a November 2014 op-ed for The Washington Post. "The results are promising... it could provide a way of breaking through glioma [tumors] and saving more lives."
While it is not uncommon for research to surface unveiling the truth surrounding marijuana and its high-powered chemistry for treating a wealth of debilitating health conditions, it is, however, a bizarre and extremely rare occurrence for the federal government to get behind any of these claims. Yet, in an updated synopsis on the potency of marijuana as medicine, Uncle Sam's leading drug addiction watchdog indicated that it might be changing its opinion of marijuana and how the substance can be used to maximize human vitality and strengthen the realm of overall public health.
"The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has not recognized or approved the marijuana plant as medicine," the report states. "However, scientific study of the chemicals in marijuana, called cannabinoids, has led to two FDA-approved medications that contain cannabinoid chemicals in pill form. Continued research may lead to more medications."
This is an interesting statement considering that marijuana remains listed as a Schedule I dangerous drug under the Controlled Substances Act, but it may suggest that reform of federal pot laws is on the horizon.

True Story.
Texas House Committee Takes Up Three Bills on Marijuana Reform. Don't Expect Much Else.
Three bills that take different approaches to reforming Texas' marijuana laws got a hearing before the House Committee on Criminal Jurisprudence on Wednesday. Supporters packed the only committee hearing scheduled on the bills in either chamber. With the clock running out on the session, other hearings aren't likely, and regardless odds are long against the Legislature passing any big changes to the state's tough marijuana laws this year.
Still, the bills, along with several others, are at least some movement on the road to Texas maybe someday allowing adults the freedom to toke without fear of arrest.
Each of the three bills the committee considered late Wednesday offers a different approach to the current demand for reform in Texas, from reducing penalties for possession to throwing the door wide open to legalization.
The first two bills, HB 325 and HB 414, seek to reduce possession of 0.35 ounces of marijuana to a Class C Misdemeanor. Currently, it is a Class B misdemeanor. They also drop possession of 2 ounces to a Class B misdemeanor and under four ounces to a Class A misdemeanor. Representatives Harold Dutton Jr. and Gene Wu from Houston are backing these bills.
El Paso Rep. Joe Moody's HB 507 takes a much larger stride in marijuana reform. It would reduce penalties for possession of less than 1 ounce to a $100 fine and no jail time.
"As a lawmaker, I have a responsibility to make sure we're spending our resources wisely and treating our people fairly," Moody said in a press release from the Marijuana Policy Project. "That's what HB 507 is about."
The bill that has most legalization advocates producing foam from their previously dry cotton mouths is HB 2165 from Rep. David Simpson of Tyler. This bill effectively legalizes marijuana with little to no regulation, like "tomatoes or jalapenos."
While critics of this bill have been quick to point out the lack of regulation could do more harm than good, Shaun McAlister, director of DFW NORML, is confident that this bill is a stepping stone to a broader version of reform.

I had mixed feelings reading the rebuttal... I found it funny and sad at the same time.Funny - because Johnny Ray himself pretty much had explained what kind "professional" he is...Sad - because instead of simple apology he decided to add more lies and own bad attitude to the case...Here is my answers to Johnny Ray:1) my wife's English is fine. As I've noticed on the several occasions, usually this kind of argumentsare employed by people that have nothing else to say. How about to be more specific WHAT exactlyyou had trouble to communicate? Besides that, I never ever met REAL professional that was notABLE to communicate to his/her client,Yes, it is that simple: if you failed to explain your customer in understandable terms what is needed to be explained and blaming customer for whatever reason - you just is not a professional!2) you had my cell phone number all the time, how about to call and COMMUNICATE if there is an issue or question or concern?By the way, it is exactly what real professionals do when in doubt, you didn't know it, right?3) Lie, lie, lie... Can you make up you mind and settle on the single number for how many hours refinished bathtub should be without water? You had written on the receipt you gave 6 hours, now it is 24, hm... how convenient to blame someone who started to use bathtub in 6 hours! and if anyone wonders, we used bathtub first time in more than a week, unfortunately, with initially bad refinish it does not matter at all!4) By the way, painters were not spraying walls as they were not hired for that! They were notspraying inside bathroom at all - they were painting inside built-in closets with bathroom doorclose shut...There are some interesting findings about Johnny Ray and his "business" that initially I had no intention to publish, but it seems, there is need to do that:1) His site said "13 years in business" on 07/2009 and "17 years in business on 11/2009" WOW!That is impressive! Besides adding 4 years to the "business" lifetime in 4 months - Let me askwhat kind of business? Carpet cleaning or bathtub refinishing? I think, actually, it was carpetcleaning. Here is a good question: why someone who did "professionally" carpet cleaning for"xx" years would decide to do something else?2) "Same phone number for 12 years" Hm... Here is quite interesting report from BBBhttp://www.bbb.org/dallas/business-reviews/contractors-general/johnny-ray-in-mesquite-tx-90132553#ratingdetailsI am not even talking about the report itself, it shows very clear score. Most interesting here aredate of the report and phone number. "Same" phone number for the last 12 yearssomehow was another one in February 2009!3) "13/17 years in business?" Is there a business? Sorry, but I don't think so...At some point Johnny Ray failed to pay franchise taxes and his business as of today,has shown as "NOT IN GOOD STANDING"http://ecpa.cpa.state.tx.us/coa/servlet/cpa.app.coa.CoaGetTp?Pg=tpid&Search_Nm=johnny%20ray%20&Button=search&Search_ID=17527449494...how much care about your business would you expect from someone who does not care aboutown business?And finally: How rain in Dallas may affect bathtub resurfacing in Plano Texas? I don't think rain in Dallas CAN affected bathtub refinishing in Plano Texas in any way... The same as sprayingwater based paint inside of closet located in 10 feet from bathroom with door close shutCANNOT affect PROPERLY refinished bathtub inside..."Sorry It does not work like that..."

First let me say there was a huge communication gap. The lady that was at the house could barely speak english and spoke with a heavy (russian?) accent.
Second. you were told not to use the tub for 24 hours. = NO WATER. As I am walking out the door Painters with spray rigs are coming in spraying WATER BASED PAINT right outside the bathroom I just refinished! However, the homeowner was gone! I waited outside for 20 minutes for her to come back during which time the painters are spraying the walls and anyone that has seen spray rigs in action knows the mist that fills the air. This mist of course contains water because it is water based paint. I tried to tell the painters not to spray but they had a job to do and all of a sudden could not speak english. So I could do nothing more then watch and know this overspray and moisture would settle on the tub and cause problems. I refused to warranty the work because ..... It was not my fault.
There is a reason we say don't use the tub for a period of time. Ask any refinisher what would happen under those conditions and they would tell you IT IS GOING TO PEEL! Water does not mix with the coatings. Yes I Hate that it happened, But It was not me that scheduled painters to spray within MINUTES of having the tub refinished.
The particles you spoke of were not particles at all .... that was water bubbles from the dust settling from the painters. Your negative experience was brought about by your own doing ... not mine.
By the way ..... the 5 year warranty does not cover things that are beyond my control. Yes I make mistakes and I warranty that work ..... it's not often I have to do that but I can think of 3 times in the last 5 years. However, I could not run a business if I had to worry about what happens after I finish the job. I guess if you would have turned on the shower 5 minutes after I finished then I would have to warranty that also? Sorry It does not work like that.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

Online blackjack tips
Did you know that most of the online blackjack tips you will receive are going to be identical to the tips about playing the game in a traditional brick and mortar casino? The only additional bits of information will have to do with the way you go about selecting the website at which you will play the games.
This article is going to provide tips on how to play blackjack online and for choosing the best venues for your skill level and needs.
Playing Blackjack
In this discussion about Blackjack, we are going to look at some of the most popular of these theories or strategies used by its millions of online players. We do not recommend or even suggest that you use them. We are simply providing the concepts that many gamblers and online casino enthusiasts apply to their gaming.
In order to really perform well in your Blackjack games, you have to have master the different steps of the game. This is best done by using a site that lets you enjoy practice or free games. So, the first thing to do is to begin shopping around the various casinos to see which make tutorials, free games, or practice games available to their clients.
Often it is going to be the better online casinos that will extend such courtesies. Once you have narrowed the choices you need to make sure that the software is authenticated, which is something that the best sites make apparent right on their home page or informational pages.
Lastly, if the software is authentic you may not have to worry about security, but it doesnt hurt to ensure that your financial information is going to be secure and guaranteed should any problems with the casinos security occur.
After that, you can begin enjoying the games. Because there are so many different designs and styles available, we cannot tell you how the gaming screen will look, but it is safe to assume that you will see something similar to the traditional casino table in front of you. You may have other players at the table, or you may be competing against the dealer alone.
The settings for the game are usually going to be in your control, and this means that the amount of the wager and the decision to hit, stand, split, or fold are going to be something you control through your computer.
When to do these things is always a matter of debate, but there are a few universal concepts that people rely on. It begins with understanding the terminology for your hand. If your hand is hard it means it does not contain an Ace, and if it is soft it does contain an Ace.
Because there are more cards with a value of ten in the deck than any other, a lot of the actions or strategies use this fact. For instance, do you try to enhance your chances for winning by splitting your hand? This is only possible if both of your cards are identical. Most blackjack enthusiasts insist that splitting a pair of ten cards is not a good call because you would be close to a win with your 20.
Another tip is to avoid the purchase of insurance because it is viewed as a waste of money that could have been directed towards the tables instead.
It is difficult to give any other guidelines for blackjack because the game is all about chance and odds, but it is most beneficial to practice a lot before playing for real money.

So, let me see if I understand.
You go to Inventory, then click on workstations, then select the workstation you wish to ping. There is no button on the menu-bar that says troubleshooting. Am I right? If so could you provide a screenshot?

About Trinidad and Tobago
Most people recognize Trinidad and Tobago as a Caribbean paradise and a fantastic destination for a fun vacation getaway. Trinidad and Tobago offers endless stretches of soft white sand beach and palm trees gently leaning over quiet blue ocean coves. This island nation is also home to miles of preserved rainforest and protected bird and wildlife sanctuaries. Come to Trinidad and Tobago to relax on the beach and enjoy the energetic nightlife, but also come for rare trekking opportunities through some of the world's most fragile and beautiful natural ecosystems.
While you're visiting, book a luxury vacation rental rather than a cramped hotel room. A vacation rental can keep you close to your favorite activities and provide you with more space and privacy than a hotel. Wake up in your private villa or beach condo and then head into town to explore the busy side streets and join the fun. Then hike through the wilderness areas, play on the beach, enjoy Tobago golf, or relax in a Tobago spa.
Here are a few additional suggestions for your trip:
- Hike the trails of the Tobago Forest Reserve: This preserved natural area was established to combat deforestation in 1763 and is believed to be the oldest nature preserve in the western hemisphere.
- Visit the Caroni Bird Sanctuary: Trinidad's national bird is the Scarlet Ibis, a beautiful species of wading shore bird and one of the many birds protected by this sanctuary.
- Visit the La Brea Pitch Lake: This lake is a true geological wonder. About 100 acres wide, it releases asphalt and is considered the largest lake of its kind in the world.
- Tour Fort King George: Take a guided tour of this preserved historic fort built as a British Colonial outpost in the 1780's.
- Go snorkeling in Arnos Vale Reef: This incredible reef system lies in a shallow cove and is an excellent place to see stingrays.
- Relax on the beach: Castara Bay and Englishman's Bay are two of the most popular beaches on the island. Come here to swim, enjoy Tobago sailing, go kayaking, or just relax in the sand.
No matter what activities you have in mind for the perfect Caribbean vacation, you'll find what you're looking for in Trinidad and Tobago. Visitors from all over the world come here for Trinidad honeymoons and weddings, exotic family vacations, or tropical getaways with friends. It's easy to find the perfect vacation rental here that offers all the luxury amenities you need. While you're visiting Trinidad and Tobago, consider exploring other Caribbean destinations like Nevis and St. Barths.

This Symphony is Nearly Over
This song has been sung for many years,
The melody is woven through countless tears,
Each crochet and quaver tremble underfoot,
As this majestic symphony slowly goes kaphut.
I played to it with my violin,
I gave it extra bars,
Controlled the tune,
Within the room,
The song forever ours.
Now I take notes at random,
And throw them to the sea....
I hope someone gives them a home,
And fares better then me.
