American Airlines has offered it's pilots an 8% raise effective May 1, 2017. This mid-contract pay raise was offered to the pilots without any contract concessions and is nearly two years prior to their current contract amendable date.
As you go through the application and interview process, you will discover a number of well-meaning souls who will give you all kinds of "sure-fire" advice on what to do for your interview. Although I encourage my clients to debrief those individuals who have been through a specific airline process, it is important to remember that what works for one person will not necessarily net the same result for you.
This might come as a shock to many pilots but we are not special in the mind of the recruiter. We are a piece of the equation that needs to be in place to make the machine of the airline work. Yes we are a key piece, however, a piece just the same. Doing the job correctly and not making waves is the main concern of the recruiter.
Single pilot (SP) IFR flying is a perfectly choreographed tango between the pilot and his/her skills (stick & rudder, knowledge, experience, common sense, systems management), and a dance partner (aircraft) with just as much capability. Luckily for us, the PC-12NG is the perfect dance partner. What's more, there are many ingredients to a successful SP IFR flight. Most are taught at the very basic level of IFR training; however, as aircraft become more technologically advanced and pilots stray … Continue reading The Single Pilot and the PC-12NG
JetBlue pilots overwhelmingly vote in ALPA as their CBA!

Addressing problem areas at an airline interview is, for almost everyone, an anxiety-producing part of an interview. However, areas of weakness or failures do not have to be overwhelmingly difficult to discuss. It is important to remember that we all have faults. Everyone has personal situations they would rather not discuss. It makes no difference … Continue reading Addressing the Pink Elephant

"[These] accumulated poems [are] a smoldering tragedy, a heady descent, songs from a pit where what glints may be gems or the moon off snake scales."Douglas Kearney
Sun Yung Shin's poems animate the elements of the epic poem and Korean history across a dystopian dreamscape of fairy tale and folklore. Filled with pithy observations and striking lyrics, this collection explores alienation, moral isolation, and nationhood.
Sun Yung Shin is the author of Skirt Full of Black, which won the 2008 Asian American Literary Award for poetry, and the children's book Cooper's Lesson, and is the co-editor of Outsiders Within: Writing on Transracial Adoption. Raised in Chicago, Illinois, Shin currently lives near Minneapolis, Minnesota, and frequently returns to Korea.
In her new collection Rough, and Savage, Sun Yung Shin draws from Robert Pinskys translation of Dantes Inferno, the Korean War, and events from her own life to create a multi-layered archipelago combining the past and the future and mimicking or redefining the epic poem. As we follow Shin deeper down into her inferno, themes of separation, possession, and ignorance collide with images of war and violence."Rain Taxi
Revisiting many of the themes from Skirt Full of Black, Shin takes us further into the realm of myth, exploring the history of Korea and the people who have inhabited and ruled it. Blending academic research with her own composed text, Shin calls our attention to the erasures in historyerasures both deliberate and unconscious."Hazel and Wren
Without a doubt Rough, and Savage is the most moving book of poetry I have read all year. . . . Her work is like a haunting yet intriguing fairy tale exploring thoughts about Korean North and South and the rising Western presence."The Corresponder
Rough, and Savage is a challenging and riveting exploration of such intimate yet universal issues . . . delicately executed and beautifully written."Eleven Eleven
In this inspired follow-up to Skirt Full of Black, she presents explosively imaginative poems that are never untethered from experiential reality. Its Shins genius to seamlessly wed the imaginary, the dream-wrought, and the mythical with the historical, the hard and factual."ALIST Magazine
[R]ough, and Savage . . . is simultaneously alluring and caustic, lovely and mournful, ambitious in both its moral ambition and literary invention."Knight Arts Blog
Shins troubling second collection explores dangerous knowledge, transgression, bad beginnings. Thus, its pages writhe with snakesa moving stripe, a tail like a whipand punishment. Strands of Dantes Inferno, which Shin entwines throughout Rough, and Savage, remind us that suffering, regret and horror have a geography and, as such, can be mapped. Yet, for Shin, to know is an erasure (even as I write, Korea has ceased to exist . . .) making these accumulated poems a smoldering tragedy, a heady descent, songs from a pit where what glints may be gems or the moon off snake scales. Brave reader, walk to Shins hard light." Douglas Kearney
Sun Yung Shin is creating a new mythology. As with most origin stories there is hidden danger, primeval chaos and uncertain outcome. Fortunately Shin has enough emotional courage, formal daring and adroit musicality to navigate through the rough and savage woods at the beginning of Creation."Kazim Ali

Shareholders at annual general meetings are expected to question management and board members about a number of hot topics this year, included audit firm tenure, COSO's new internal control framework, mergers, spinoffs, cybersecurity, disaster planning and executive pay, according to BDO USA.
The accounting and consulting firm's annual list of the top issues at annual shareholder meetings includes M&A opportunities and takeover defenses. Shareholders will want to know if management is seeking M&A opportunities and if potential targets have been properly vetted to avoid buyer's remorse. BDO warns that boards should have contingency takeover defenses in place in case they need to fend off attacks.

71 - 85 Final
Iverson, 76ers win finale of NBA European tournamentOct 11, 2006 - 10:15 PM COLOGNE, Germany (Ticker) -- The Philadelphia 76ers began their trip to Europe with a historic loss. They ended it with a historic win.
Allen Iverson scored 15 of his 28 points in the decisive first half as the 76ers won the inaugural NBA Europe Live tournament with a 85-71 victory over Euroleague champions CSKA Moscow.
One of four teams holding training camp in Europe, the 76ers began their journey with a loss to Winterthur Barcelona. Philadelphia became the first NBA team to lose a road game to a European team.
However, the 76ers found more success here, rallying from a 22-point second-half deficit Tuesday to defeat the Phoenix Suns and getting off to a much better start against the Russian squad, which defeated Israeli power Maccabi Tel Aviv on Tuesday.
The 76ers uncharacteristically did it with defense as center Samuel Dalembert blocked a pair of shots and Iverson and Willie Green overplayed the passing lanes. A steal and layup by Iverson capped a 19-2 run that gave Philadelphia a 42-26 lead late in the second quarter.
The lead was 47-30 at halftime and grew to 51-32 early in the third quarter as Iverson threw a running lob to Andre Iguodala, who hammered home an alley-oop dunk.
Philadelphia maintained a double-digit lead for most of the remainder of the second half.
Iverson made 7-of-15 shots, including 2-of-3 from the arc. He added nine assists and made 12-of-17 foul shots.
Dalembert had five blocked shots while collecting 15 points and 18 rebounds for the 76ers, who shot 38 percent (27-of-71).
Former NBA player Trajan Langdon made four 3-pointers and led CSKA with 16 points. The Russian squad shot just 36 percent (27-of-76).
No one has shouted yet.
Be the first!
Be the first!

The write course: the place of writing classes in the NZ book trade
20 Apr 2017
This week, The Read investigates writing courses and writing qualifications in Aotearoa; what they do for the Kiwi book ecosystem and what the book industry thinks of them.
We spoke to a selection of writers, publishers, writing course directors and booksellers Catherine Robertson, Paula Morris, Fergus Barrowman, Adrienne Jansen, Mary-Jane Duffy, Jemma Pirrie, Damien Wilkins, Thom Conroy, Thomas Koed, Ashleigh Young and Bronwyn Wylie-Gibb.
What do writers get out of them?
The most obvious place to start is: what do writers get out of writing courses? Catherine Robertson (pictured below) is a published author who has done several writing courses, most recently the MA course at the International Institute of Modern Letters (IIML) Te Pūtahi Tuhi Auaha o Te Ao.
She says: 'Before I took my first writing course in 2001, I had done no creative writing since high school, so you could say the course launched my whole career. I was living in California at the time, and the course was led by a much-awarded poet, who was an excellent fiction teacher. His comments and guidance gave me some real skills, an understanding of how to manage criticism, and the confidence to keep going.
'…[Then the IIML MA] helped me decide exactly what kind of writer I am – what kind of work I wanted to do from now on. So it both expanded and focused my writing career.'
Paula Morris (pictured below) has also completed writing courses both here and overseas. She says: 'I chose to study at Victoria [the IIML] and Iowa for the time, experience, community and teaching. Having a Master of Creative Writing (MCW) or Master of Fine Arts (MFA) will not help you to publish a book … But the experience of that MFA, the workshops and seminars, the time you spent working on your book and being mentored – that might help you write something good.'
Ashleigh Young is a writer and editor who co-convenes the science writing workshop at IIML. She says: 'It's not true that you HAVE to do a writing course in order to have a writing career. It would be truly weird if that were the only way.
'What's of value is having a person or group who can be your first readers and who can be honest with you, and for whom you can do the same. It's important not to hide your writing away – it's when your writing is out in the open, with readers, that you'll learn the most.'
How do publishers view them?
Victoria University Press (VUP) publisher Fergus Barrowman has a close relationship with the IIML MA course, having read and graded folios there for the past 30 years. However, when it comes to choosing manuscripts for publication at VUP, he says the presence or absence of a writing qualification makes no difference: 'that decision is made solely on the book'. Where courses can make a difference is in (a) the writer finishing the manuscript, and (b) getting it to a publisher.
'Writing courses definitely give writers a head start in terms of professional behaviour. I can tell from those submissions that writers have learned a great deal about how to present a MS to a publisher, in terms of presentation standard, what to say in the covering letter, and how to choose [an] appropriate publisher.'
More broadly, Barrowman believes that, although there's always been really extraordinary "top-end" writing emerging from NZ, the writing courses here 'have really raised the average standard of the entry-level first book, and the number of new and emerging writers. This can mean it's hard to get published because there's more competition.'
Another effect writing courses can have on publishing is that sometimes they grow their own publishing ventures. For example, Escalator Press has emerged from the Whitireia Creative Writing courses, as has Cloud Ink Press from AUT.
IIML Director Damien Wilkins (pictured above) says: 'writing classes put you in touch with like minds and suddenly you've started your own lit mag, online journal or poetry press. This kind of community building is important in lots of ways, including its challenge to the cultural status quo.'
What do they mean to booksellers?
Booksellers we spoke to said the presence or absence of a writing qualification on the part of the author didn't make much difference to their perception of a book.
Jemma Pirrie is the buyer at McLeod's Booksellers (pictured above). She says: 'When I do the book buying, the qualifications of writers are hardly mentioned to me – emphasis is placed more on whether the reps have read and enjoyed the book, how well it is doing in the media, whether the author has received any awards, how popular the author is, etc. They also discuss books in reference to our bookshop's target market and our tastes.'
Thomas Koed of VOLUME sees the importance of writing courses as contributing several steps before the books hit shelves. He says: 'writing courses do deepen the writing pool, which deepens the publishing pool, and it is from this publishing pool that we pull the books for our shop.'
Bronwyn Wylie-Gibb (pictured below) of UBS Otago says: 'I haven't ever noticed that a qualification has any effect on sales … I don't think customers particularly care: it certainly isn't plastered all over the front and back of a book by the publisher.
'I suspect writing courses may be most valuable in sharpening up a writer's style, in providing a place to experiment, to recognise and understand what does and doesn't work, and to be challenged. Finally they encourage writers to keep writing – who knows what amazing book they will write as a result?'
Other things writing courses do
The value of writing courses in Aotearoa is not measured purely in terms of books produced, although all the writing course convenors we interviewed proudly spoke of the many books their graduates had published and are continuing to publish in impressive numbers. For example, Wilkins says: 'I think there are a couple of MA classes from the early 2000s in which the book publication rate is now 100%, but that was after a decade or more. It's a long-haul game.'
Thom Conroy (pictured below) is a Senior Lecturer in Creative Writing at Massey University Te Kunenga ki Pūrehuroa. He says: 'I think the most important pay-off of writing workshops is not necessarily the direct improvement in your writing as much as it is learning about how to anticipate what readers desire and how to get a clearer sense of what they can tolerate and, likewise, what they won't forgive.
'The other major positive outcome of creative writing [courses] for the publishing industry in New Zealand is to create a broader and deeper pool of ambitious readers – readers who are willing to critically engage with our literature, to discuss it, review it, and, of course, to purchase it. This sort of readerly engagement can have far-reaching cultural effects.'
Paula Morris convenes the MCW at the University of Auckland Te Whare Wānanga o Awanuiārangi , which she describes as being a greenhouse, not a factory. She says: 'I put the focus on experimentation, skill development, exploring technique, and workshops. Rather than the writers scrambling to submit a rough draft of a whole novel, I prefer them to submit a more polished first half and have the discipline, skills and direction to continue working on the book after the course finishes. I continue mentoring writers after the course, and plan to launch a two-year MFA, much more conducive to writing a novel, very soon.'
Morris also contributes to Te Papa Tupu, the mentoring programme for Maori writers run by Huia Publishers. She says: 'As well as one-on-one mentoring we give seminars on aspects of technique with the writers as a group. University courses are going to be too costly and impractical for many Maori and Pasifika writers. I respect Huia for working to develop new voices in NZ literature.'
More good news for writers on a limited budget is the development of international MOOCs (massive open online courses). Top universities and other educational institutions around the world are increasingly opening up their teachings to anyone with an internet connection, often entirely for free. For example, the prestigious International Writing Programme at the University of Iowa now offers MOOCs (the next one begins on 15 May) – and Dr Rebecca Priestley has recently begun one through VUW about Antarctica: From Geology to Human History.
Gaps in the market?
Many NZ writing courses are geared towards literary fiction, and there are some questions about whether commercial and genre fiction writers are adequately supported.
Mary-Jane Duffy (pictured below, photo copyright Matt Bialostocki) is the Creative Writing Programme Manager at Whitireia New Zealand, and Adrienne Jansen is one of the tutors there. They believe the commercial fiction market is currently underserved. "In general, commercial success doesn't seem to be highly valued in the 'literary' arena, and that rubs off on students' perceptions. In the Whitireia programme, students doing the comprehensive course/short fiction do some writing in all the major genres. That recognises that students have wide writing interests and some may go on to be excellent romance writers, for example.
'There's always a danger that specific courses can create a particular type of writing. Is that good for publishing? Debatable. Writing programmes need to be aware of NOT channeling students in certain directions.'
Barrowman says: 'Writing workshops are about complexity and authenticity, helping writers release, identify, and shape something really special. This can go against the needs of genre books to meet the specifications of genre.'
Conroy comments: 'I do think we need to be careful that the link between creative writing and publishing doesn't become too 'in-house' in New Zealand, as this can lead to more homogenous writing – work that meets expectations rather than shatters them … If 'commercial fiction' means literary fiction that sells well, then I think creative writing courses and publishers are serving students fairly well. I know that we supervise creative work at Massey that might be described as 'commercial' in this way …
'Regarding genre fiction, I think the issue isn't only how well creative writing programmes are serving students, but how well publishers are serving students … there are simply very few venues to publish it with New Zealand presses.'
Robertson says: 'Several of my IIML classmates were writing speculative fiction and quality commercial fiction, and there was absolutely no sense that these genres were any less worthy or interesting. However, others have had teachers in other courses who did not understand or 'get', for example, speculative fiction – so if you're writing genre fiction, I'd say: do your research, ask the teachers questions before you enrol.'
As always, many thanks to everyone who took the time to speak to The Read – it's clear that writing courses of all kinds have a vital part to play in Aotearoa's booky ecosystem. As Wilkins said, "'New writers are the lifeblood of the industry. Does that make the IIML a transfusion centre of NZ publishing?'
NB: While this article goes wide, we just want to note that Elizabeth did not speak to representatives of every creative writing course in New Zealand.

{Much like a budget, a food journal or a gratitude journal, I believe that recording and acknowledging your frugal successes (and maybe some failures) is a necessity when you are embarking on a frugality adventure like myself. I first came across 5 Frugal Things on THE FRUGAL GIRL who came across it on THE NON-CONSUMERADVOCATE.COM and I've been hooked since.}
2. Rather than buying Mr. Daisy snacks for his lunch, I whipped up a batch of white macadamia nut cookies with pantry staples that were on hand.
3. Mr. Daisy spent the rainy weekend in the garage working on several cars. He performed some routine maintenance on our vehicles in the form of oil changes and tire rotations. Keeping up to date on the maintenance of our cars is vital to our frugal journey and I am so fortunate to have a mechanic for a hubby. He also put brakes and wheel bearings on his mom's vehicle…we will get a free dinner as payment for services!
4. I made a big pot of potato soup Saturday afternoon that served as dinner on Saturday, dinner on Sunday, and lunch for me today.
5. In an effort to reduce our waste, we invested in a reusable Keurig cup. Neither of us are big coffee drinkers, so making a pot of coffee would be a waste. However, using k-cups is a much larger form of waste as the cups are non-recyclable. We purchased a plastic one, however I think I'm going to use some Swagbucks and get a gift card for Amazon to order a stainless steel k-cup like this one.
If you follow me in Instagram, you already know that I killed our brand new vacuum. It was a Christmas present and I dearly, dearly loved my Shark vacuum. Mr. Daisy attempted to be frugal by tearing it apart and fixing it. Unfortunately, I had done far too much damage. I hopped on the Kohl's website through Swagbucks and ordered a new vacuum for in-store pickup. I paired a $10 off coupon, 20% off, and 2SB per dollar via Swagbucks and only paid $110 for a $199 vacuum. I also received $20 back in Kohl's Cash which will be used to buy Mr. Daisy some new socks.
Buying a new one right away may not have been the most frugal-minded action in some people's opinion. But an efficient, functioning vacuum is essential to our household. We have quite a bit of carpet. Add a toddler, 2 dogs, and people who are constantly in and out into the equation. I vacuum daily. Sometimes more than once. So this was a worth it purchase for me. It will definitely be thrown into our Aw $hit budget category!
My original ambition for starting this blog was to share my family's real numbers and real budget as we strive to climb out of 6 figures of debt. This is my monthly budget report post in which I do exactly that. Please be kind and non-judgmental as I make something as personal as finances a public affair.
Oh, April. Tax month. Blech. While we didn't have to pay a ridiculous amount of taxes like others do, we still had to shell out a few hundred bucks to our city.
April was far better than our March budget, although there were a few setbacks that had to be taken care of.
Below you'll find my easy-to-read snapshot of our monthly budget. It is comprised of 3 categories: Budgeted, Actual, and Results. I fill in the Budgeted at the beginning of the month, enter data in the Actual twice each month (mid-month check-in and end of the month), and the Results column is designed with formulas to easily show us if we were over, under or on budget and by how much.
We spent $605.00 eating out at restaurants this month. What the &*%^! A chunk of that is from a wonderful night out for a friend's birthday, but that still leaves $500 in restaurant costs. Live and learn, I suppose. We will diligently work on this during May.

Are you ready for some miscellany? Here's what has been happening on the Daisy Homestead:
Mr. Daisy tilling up the garden
I've been enjoying the recent beautiful Great Lakes weather by getting out on the trails and doing some hiking during my lunch break:
I've got two books on my bookshelf right now, one fiction and one nonfiction.
For nonfiction, I'm reading Money Secrets of the Amish: Finding True Abundance in Simplicity, Sharing, and Saving . I am only three chapters in, but I am truly enjoying this read. It's an easy read and the author is the perfect combination of sassy and informational. I have laughed out loud quite a few times!
On the fiction front, I am reading Carve the Mark by Veronica Roth. She also authored the very well known Divergent Trilogy that I enjoyed up until the end of the last book. I've never been so upset at the ending of a book – I actually stopped reading and didn't finish! Mr. Daisy makes fun of me because I still get fired up about this! But, I digress. Carve the Mark lives up to the Divergent Triology in transporting the reader to a completely different world. Her descriptive writing makes you feel like you are in the book, and that's what I love about reading fiction.
I've fallen off the wagon on recording our grocery purchasing and intake, but I promise, we're still eating 🙂
We spent $130.37 at our regional large chain (Giant Eagle) and earned $0.30 in fuel perks to bring our total to 50 cents of each gallon of gas. Later in the week, I spent $21.39 at ALDI for produce and some items to make side dishes for the two bowling banquets we have this week. My super simple Veggie Pizza is a hit at these events!
I'm giving us a little grace with our grocery spending. I understand that it is one of the easiest categories in which to cut back spending, however our family has other categories to focus on. Like eating out. We spent $400 in April on eating out. I about fell out of my chair when I was working through our finances. So, if a few more dollars spent each week at the grocery store will reduce/eliminate the eating out, so be it!
Mr. Daisy and I make it a point to spend time together each evening after Little Daisy is asleep. This usually consists of us snuggling on the couch watching TV while he plays with my hair. I really wish WordPress had a heart eyes emoji!
We've been watching Heartland on Netflix and yearning to move to Alberta and buy a ranch. We've also been watching the NBA Playoffs rooting our Cavaliers on. Defend the Land! 🙂
May will be here Monday, and with it I will be discussing our financial and family plans and goals for the month.
For those of you that are new here, this blog chronicles my family's journey out of six figures of debt. This epic amount is a combination of student loans, credit cards, vehicle loans, and a personal loan. If you're interested in a more in depth explanation, check out this post.
One of our primary financial goals for 2017 is to knock out our credit card debt to reach a utilization of less than 30% in hopes of giving our credit scores a boost. We are currently renting from my in-laws and will need to be out of this home by February 2018. We have zero desire to rent again, so we have less than a year to get ourselves mortgage-ready and in a lender-favorable position.
I assume that some of you will read this and think that we are crazy for wanting a mortgage while being in six figure debt. Personal finance is just that, personal. Unique. Different. Our decisions may be the last decision someone else would choose, but that's the beauty of living in a diverse world.
Expressed as a percentage, this is the relationship between balances on your credit cards and the credit limits.
Example: You owe $450 on your Kohls credit card. Your credit limit is $1000. 450/1000=0.45=45% You are utilizing 45% of your available credit.
Your credit card utilization is a significant element used in calculating your credit score. Banks interpret high utilization rates as an inability to efficiently manage your money.
Banks and lenders need to see evidence that you can manage your money in a wise manner. I am not a fan that one must go into debt in order to prove your acumen in finances. You would think that by prudently managing your money and paying cash for everything would be proof enough. But, I digress.
From my research and conversations with several lenders, a utilization rate of less than 30% is the industry standard that places you in the "good" category. A utilization of 1-10% is even better.
I have received conflicting information on 0% credit card balances. One lender says that in order to increase your credit score you should charge a manageable amount and pay it off each month in order to avoid interest. Another lender informs you that you should carry a small balance from month to month. What to do, what to do? (If any of you have any insight, I'd love to hear it!)
If this graph is any indication, carrying a 1-10% utilization rate on your credit cards results in the highest average credit score.
Source: Credit Karma
I created this extremely simple Excel spreadsheet in order to get a snapshot of our family's credit card utilization and I wanted to share it with you all.
Here's a snapshot:
These are not our numbers. How I wish they were.
I am quite sure that there are more fancy and sophisticated spreadsheets out there to capture this information. But if you're like me, you like simple and straight forward.

I first came across 5 Frugal Things on THE FRUGAL GIRL who came across it on THE NON-CONSUMERADVOCATE.COM and I've been hooked since.}
Today's 5 Frugal Things is exciting because everything I will be sharing with you was FREE!
Even more exciting, the items are free AND useful. Cue singing birds and heart eyes emojis.
I was fortunate to snag these buckets from work to use for our container gardening and other random jobs around the yard. They're a bit yucky as they contained vitamin E oil. The scientist in me is anxious to see if there is any different in the plants that were grown in the "dirty" buckets vs. buckets that were cleaned out. Stay tuned!
Thanks to Crystal over at Money Saving Mom and her regular freebie posts, I snagged a free sample of some feminine pads. These are perfect to throw in my first aid kit or 72 hour emergency bag.
Again, thanks to Crystal's posts, I received 2 free packets of Emergen-C and a coupon. Mr. Daisy drank one this morning because he said he felt a cold coming on. He loved the taste!
I received these coupons for free lotions and shower gels at Bath & Body Works. My mom gave me hers also so I will be getting 4 free items! As much as I despise receiving a load of junk mail and promotions, signing up for retail stores' mailing lists often results in some great coupons. My favorites are Elder-Beerman, JC Penney, Bath & Body Works, and Kohls. I am usually able to get free items through their promotions!
Have you ever heard of Swagbucks? I'm sure you have. And I hope you love it as dearly as I do. I do virtually ALL of my shopping via Swagbucks, minus grocery shopping.
For example, I have really been wanting an electric griddle. I stumbled upon an excellent deal at Kohls, shopped through Swagbucks, selected in-store pickup, and earned cash back. Win win situation because I received a little kickback and more importantly, I go right to Customer Service to get my item and I walk right back out. I do not stop at racks, I do not impulse shop. I go directly to the door. (Did you pretend you were reading that off of a Monopoly card? Because I did.)
So, I was perusing Swagbucks the other day near the end of my lunch break and came across a Proactiv deal they had running. Receive 3,000 swagbucks for trying Proactiv. If you're unfamiliar with Swabucks, 100 swagbucks = $1. Therefore, 3,000 swabucks = $30. The trial I selected cost me under $30. Therefore, I'm trying this Proactiv (something I've been wanting to try for ages), for free.
If you're interested in learning more about Swagbucks, feel free to shoot me an email, leave a comment, or click this link.

I'm a few days late to the Earth Day game, but I wanted to share how we celebrated this year and how we celebrate Earth each and every day.
I talked HERE about how some of my greatest passions are education and science, so Earth Day is one of my favorite days to lay the educational fun on Little Daisy!
Each night last week, we read a chapter from Usborne's Why Should I Bother About The Planet? book.
We had so much fun reading through this book! Some of the topics we covered were green energy, water pollution, water shortages, wildlife in danger, air pollution and recycling. It was heartening to watch my three year old realize that there are places in the world where access to water is not as simple as turning on the faucet. I caught her sternly telling Mr. Daisy to turn off the sink while he was brushing his teeth 🙂 This book has 48 pages of beautifully illustrated artwork bursting with information.
Some of the interesting tips offered in the book:
My favorite feature of this book is the even distribution of information to recommendations. There are several pages of tips, tricks, and ideas for children and families to utilize in order to reduce their energy consumption. Every little bit counts, right? Unfortunately, Usborne Books & More no longer lists this book on their official website. However, you can purchase it on Amazon or eBay!
Another way we celebrated Earth Day was by planting some bee friendly flowers! We are bee lovers in this family, lovers of any pollinator actually. (Even though I'm highly allergic!) I routinely catch and release bees that fly in our home rather than swatting them with a rolled up newspaper! And although I'll fiercely and unashamed-ly run from a yellow jacket, I understand they serve a purpose in our ecosystem and resist the urge to take a swing at them with a hard object.
Usborne's Gardening for Beginners book is one that we have been using with Little Daisy for the past two summers. We've also gifted this to many, many friends! This book is full of delightful illustrations, information, and detailed and fun activities to do with your children. Or by yourself if you're a kid at heart like me.
It has a durable cover, thick glossy pages, and my favorite feature…a ringed binding! I wish ALL books were like this. It would just be so convenient. Amirite?
Here is the page we worked off of for our bee-friendly project this year. We requested some seeds from Feed a Bee when they were running a special. Little Daisy and I are very excited to see what sprouts in her little flower garden. Photos to come!
Here are some of the other projects outlined in this awesome book:
Hands-down, my favorite feature of these Usborne books is that they are Internet-linked. What this means is that each book has a set of unique quick-links online that will link you up to more information and activities for FREE!
Of course, we try to practice a green-leaning life on the Daisy Homestead every day. Some ways we do this are:

I apologize for the blog silence over the last few days. I haven't been the greatest at pre-writing and scheduling my blogs posts. I've made it a priority for the next few weeks, so hopefully I will be chugging out useful posts more often.
On Friday evening, we went out for my best friend's 30th birthday. We budgeted about $50 for the evening to include food and drinks. Well…the margaritas tasted a lot better than I had imagined they would and our bill somehow ended up being $87. I take full responsibility, but it was so worth it. We had a blast.
When my husband and I stopped ignoring the fact that we were in six figures of debt and decided to do something about it, we jumped right in the express lane with no plan whatsoever. Our strategy worked for a few months as we haphazardly put extra money here and there on different debts with no real rhyme or reason. The balances slowly started to decrease, but then we hit a wall.
We got disorganized, tired, and lost our motivation. Why? Why did this concept that seemed so simple end up running aground?
Benjamin Franklin said it best,
"If you fail to plan, you are planning to fail."
We hadn't taken any time to lay a solid foundation, set realistic and achievable goals, or truthfully analyze our situation. Naively, we thought that things would just somehow work out.
The rest of this post can be seen over at The Frugal Farmer where I am a guest poster today!
Yesterday I mistakenly stated that I would have a guest post up on The Frugal Farmer. I'm not sure what I was thinking, because it will be up Monday, April 10. I'll blame it on mommy brain 🙂

My original ambition for starting this blog was to share my family's real numbers and real budget as we strive to climb out of 6 figures of debt. This is my monthly budget report post in which I do exactly that. Please be kind and non-judgmental as I make something as personal as finances a public affair.
I can't believe that we are already in April! It's crazy to me how some days seem to drag on forever, but then bam! We're at then end of another month. Which means taking another hard look at our family's spending and saving for the month.
The theme for this month was Budget Setbacks {which I wrote about HERE}. There was a broken cell phone, vehicle repairs, and that blasted "Other" category. We were $1267.16 over budget for March. Ouch. We were set to have $1700.00 in surplus had we stayed on budget. At our monthly budget meeting this month, Mr. Daisy and I made some changes to our budget categories and a huge commitment to altering some spending habits.
Below you'll find my easy-to-read snapshot of our monthly budget. It is comprised of 3 categories: Budgeted, Actual, and Results. I fill in the Budgeted at the beginning of the month, enter data in the Actual twice each month (mid-month check-in and end of the month), and the Results column is designed with formulas to easily show us if we were over, under or on budget and by how much.
There is a lot of red in the Results column. Here's the breakdown on the major snafus:
There is some light at the end of this $1200 over budget month:
Like I said, April is going to hold some changes for us in regards to our budget and spending habits. Here are the 5 major action steps for April:
Although this month did not go anywhere near what we had planned, I am thankful that we didn't go negative. (We do have a reserve amount that kept in our checking account because $hit can and will happen)
Monday, I will share more details about our plan for April. Tomorrow, I am so excited to say that I will have a guest post (my first one!) up over at The Frugal Farmer. Laurie has some exciting stuff going on over at her blog for Financial Literacy month so be sure to stop by and check it out!

Tsukiji Lounge
Soft lights hang down from Tsukiji Fish Market and Restaurant's towering ceiling, illuminating the plates of traditional dishes from Japan, China, and Korea that have enticed the tongues of reporters from Food & Wine. Throughout the week, a buffet sweeps across the dining room and simmers with soups and specialties as chefs stand by to prepare sushi and noodles upon request. By day, the chic, WiFi-saturated dining room hosts up to 400 diners, and the evening offers Tsukiji Lounge, which boasts a menu of appetizers complemented by pours from the full bar. Come Friday night, the 14,000-square-foot room transforms into a nightclub, where guests can prance across the dance floor like clydesdales at Horse Prom amidst the vibrant melodies of DJ Paul Brandon.

"Coach [Randy] Sanders from Tennessee called Zach tonight and said he was going to come down to see the game on Friday," said Richardson's father Art Richardson. "He told Zach about the recent traditions of quarterbacks at Tennessee like Manning, Martin, and Clausen. We're still waiting on his first offer, but things seem like they are heating up!"
Richardson is a big, strong armed lefty that can make all of the throws. At 6-5 and 215 pounds, he has the prototype size for a pocket passer, but he has good mobility as well. The only thing Richardson lacked coming into the season was experience, but as he is showing what he can do on the field, coaches are becoming more and more interested. It shouldn't be too much longer for Richardson's first big offer to arrive in writing. Tennessee, Auburn, and Georgia appear to still be the leaders for Richardson.

I have a Hyper-V host that has been in production for well over 2 years. Running Server 2008 R2 SP1. It has had numerous guest OS's on that were migrated off months ago. I built a new 2008R2 Enterprise guest server and cloned it so I now have 2. SRV1 and SRV2 for this example.
on SRV1 I installed Exchange CAS and HT roles. No problems. When I went to install the SAN certificate, it couldn't validate the certificate. I spent most of the day thinking it was an exchange issue with no luck finding a solution. Finally I discovered that I can't open a web page to www.microsoft.com (as well as some other sites) but I can get to tons of other sites like godaddy, google, bing, etc. After checking the server clone SRV2 the same symptoms show up on that server as well, (but exchange is not installed, it is a base installations of Windows... no roles) I do not see the issue happening on about 10 other servers I have spot checked.
I migrated the server to another host where the guest servers were not having this issue and the problem still persisted. So it is not the Host. I checked our DNS servers and as far as I can tell there are no problems... pretty silent event logs on both the DNS servers.
Back to the guest OS. I can ping Mircosoft.com from the server but cannot browse to it. I turned off the firewall, no AntiVirus is installed on these servers yet, and i tried our alternate DNS server and still had the same issue.
I have checked the host files, those are normal.
I have flushed the DNS
rebooted the server many times
did a winsock reset (i was desperate)
Disabled IPv6
We do not use a proxy server
Now here is where it got interesting.... I tried our primary DNS server in our datacenter (on a different subnet) and BAM! it works... Website works, Certificate in exchange gets validated.... everything is normal. The server IP is still the same, I just pointed it to another DNS server offsite.
So I don't know what is going on here. Please let me know if you have any ideas or have seen an issue similar to it in the past. I'm out of ideas and was considering rebuilding the serve
Thanks in advance!

Scratch this... I guess a brain dump really helped me here... I found the solution. I needed to restart the DNS server service on the two DNS severs.
Here is the MS KBA that had the problem description as well as a hotfix for the servers.
All is well! Hopefully this post can help someone in the future.

Okay So i just thought of something... I logged into another machine that was working and checked the Advanced Tab of the network device and on the DNS tab it has both the local DNS servers AND the offsite server... After removing the offsite server, I get the same symptoms on an additional server now.
I'm seeing this as a DNS issue now... we use AD DNS on our servers and we have 3 total. What might be causing the two at our site to not resolve MS but the one at the datacenter can.
Our internet to the site goes out through the datacenter... we have no internet here... just a connection to the network at the datacenter where we then go out to the internet.
May 31, 2012 at 11:54 UTC
another piece of info, our workstations do not have this problem and they use Obtain Automagically for DNS on their network configs where the DHCP server gives them all 3 DNS servers.
This would explain why I have not seen this until now.

German Shepherd Dogs are hugely popular—about 250,000 new breed members are born in any five-year period. The average male German Shepherd stands 25 inches at the highest point of the shoulder blade, while the female stands 23 inches at the highest point of the shoulder blade. Some people assume that bigger German Shepherds are somehow better than smaller ones, but this is not true.
German Shepherd Dogs come in a variety of coat types, but only one is acceptable if the dog will be shown: a medium-length double coat. His outer coat can be wavy or wiry and should be thick and close to his body. German Shepherds shed year-round, so they should be avoided as pets for those who will not be fastidious groomers. A mixture of black and tan is the standard German Shepherd coat color, and they usually have a black face mask.
Known for their intelligence, German Shepherds are self-confident, fearless dogs that will stand their ground in the face of any danger. They make superb guard dogs and will fight to the death to protect their owners. However, they are also loving and gentle to those they love and are fiercely loyal once their heart has been won. German Shepherds also have many roles other than family pet. They commonly work as police dogs, sheepdogs, and seeing-eye dogs.

Okay, so I know rule 63 is when you bend a gender, but what is it when you bend a gender and a species?
Whatever it is, Santana Cosplay does just that with this cosplay of Sonic the Hedgehog.
I'm also guessing it may cause you to never look at the game quite the same way again.

text: 28 May 2015TSB Offers Breathing Space for Home BuyersOn Friday, 29 May 2015, TSB is launching a new range of "breathing space" mortgages - mortgages which, for the first year have a lower interest rate to help customers wanting to put their own stamp on their new pad.In the first year of homeownership, there are many additional outgoings to consider from purchasing a fridge to painting a wall as people make their house into a home. TSB recognises this which is why it has introduced this innovative mortgage with lower initial monthly payments which will assist homeowners and first time buyers alike.Key features:Lower interest rate in the first year to give homebuyers financial breathing space.Mortgages available over 75% and up to 95% loan-to-value in a TSB branch or over the phone.Mortgages available over 75% and up to 90% loan-to-value through a broker.Available to first time buyers and those wishing to move home.Ian Ramsden, Director of Mortgages at TSB, comments, "We know the first year after moving can often be expensive as people make their house a home. Offering homebuyers some breathing space on their mortgage during the first year will give them the support to achieve this."Helping people get a foot onto the property ladder is a fundamental part of creating thriving local economies, and people thriving across the country is what we call, local banking for Britain."This is the latest mortgage innovation from TSB - which launched its Fix and Flex mortgage range in December 2014. Fix and Flex offers the reassurance of a fixed rate over ten years yet allows homeowners to remain flexible by enabling them to refinance or leave the mortgage after five years, without having to pay an early repayment charge.Media ContactsFollow us on Twitter: @TSB_NewsWebsite: www.tsb.co.uk/mediaNotes to editorsThis mortgage is available on a range of different loan to values - details below:This loan is for house purchase only. Buy-to-let, shared equity and shared ownership mortgages are excluded.Includes £995 product fee, and £265 Mortgage Account Fee.Breathing Space mortgages are subject to current lending criteria and affordability assessment.Mortgage deal is portable for those moving to a new home.3% early repayment charges apply for the three year period across all Breathing Space products.

Enquirer By: Chris Mayhew St. Elizabeth Healthcare locations in Edgewood, Fort Thomas and Florence will be the site of a major long-term cancer study for the American Cancer Society. The study will seek people ages 30-65 who have never had any type of cancer, said Guy Karrick, public relations manager for St. Elizabeth. The study will be conducted through St. Elizabeth during the dates of April 17-19. Titled "Cancer Prevention Study-3" (CPS-3), it is the continuation of major cancer research studies, Karrick said. "This one is a long-term study, a 20- to 30-year study," he said. "The first one (study) was the one that linked lung cancer with cigarette smoking." The second study demonstrated the link between larger waist-size and increased death rate from cancer and other causes, according to a news release from St. Elizabeth. The goal is to have 500 people enroll in the study through St. Elizabeth, Karrick said. The goal of CPS-3 is to help researchers better understand lifestyle, environmental and genetic factors that cause or prevent cancer, according to the news release. "To me, this is a legacy," he said. "This something my generation can leave behind, and hopefully one day my kids or their kids can live in a cancer-free society or at least a world where it is controllable." An information session for people interested in helping promote enrollment in the study will be in rooms F and G at St. Elizabeth Edgewood Feb. 27. To schedule an enrollment time and location visit the website www.cps3noky.org. For other information about the study visit cancer.org/cps3 or call the American Cancer Society toll-free at 1-888-604-5888.

UNITED NATIONS – A report says more than one million people are still living in 1,300 mostly unmanaged camps nine months after Haiti's devastating earthquake. Sexual violence is rampant and gangs often roam freely, it says.
Refugees International, a Washington-based nonprofit organization that advocates to end refugee crises, says its investigators found during a recent visit to Haiti that less than 30 percent of the camps have managers. That means more than 70 percent of the camps are unable to communicate or coordinate with the international humanitarian community.
The report, released Thursday, said the humanitarian response "appears paralyzed" and called for urgent action to protect the basic human rights of quake victims living in the squalid overcrowded camps.

Mosaics decorate floors, walls, tabletops and many more surfaces, serving as abstract art inside and outside the home. Gardeners sometimes like to decorate their outdoor spaces with mosaic items. Mosaics are easy to make and very versatile. Each mosaic project requires broken ceramic tiles and plates for creating pictures. Tiles leftover from other projects, and colorful, inexpensive plates from yard sales make the perfect medium when smashed into small pieces with a rubber mallet. Wear protective eye wear and wrap the tiles and plates in a towel before smashing to prevent injury from flying ceramic bits.
Mosaic Stepping Stones
Not only are mosaic stepping stones easy to create, they also make artistically messy projects for both adults and children. After breaking up mosaic pieces, the artist pours cement into stepping-stone molds, which come in many geometric shapes, including circles, squares, hexagons and more. After the cement cures for half the time recommended on the packaging, the artist presses pieces of tile and colored ceramic into the tops of the stones, creating a colorful pattern. After the cement dries completely, each stone requires a coat of outdoor sealant.
Mosaic Retaining Wall
Many gardens contain short brick or concrete retaining walls that separate gardens or yards from each other. Though these walls are attractive when built, some of them become worn or look outdated over time. One way to improve and modernize them is to cover them in a mosaic mural. The artist cleans the dirt and grime from the wall to help the ceramic pieces stick later. Chalk helps the artist outline her design---such as flowers, geometric designs or nature scenes---on the wall, and thin-set outdoor ceramic mortar glues the ceramic pieces into the design. The artist grouts the mosaic, wipes away the excess and applies an outdoor sealant to the dried results.
Mosaic Planters
Gardeners tired of ordinary terra-cotta planters can renew and personalize them with mosaic designs. The project begins by drawing the desired design onto the planter with a piece of chalk. The artist then sticks the appropriate broken pieces to the planter with tile mortar and grouts them with tile grout. Outdoor sealant completes the project. An artist might use whole decorative tiles offset by whirling or abstract designs created by broken pieces. Other designs include patched-up rainbows, flowers, ocean waves and trees.

The Ark created one of the finest pop albums of 2004, 2005, or 2006 — depending on where you live and how closely you follow glitzy, chart-topping Scandinavian dance-rock — with their tremendous third album, State of the Ark. Its follow-up was released in the midst of a frenzied 2007 that found the band storming Sweden's Melodifestivalen competition, representing their country in the 52nd Eurovision Song Contest, scoring their first actual number one single (though Prayer for the Weekend was their fourth straight number one album) — all with the singsongy schaffel-schlager "The Worrying Kind" — and touring all over the continent, while flamboyant, palindromic frontman Ola Salo also found time to premiere his symphonic poem "Linnaeus Rex," written in honor of the Swedish taxonomist's tricentennial. Musically, Prayer retreats somewhat from its predecessor's streamlined synthesizer pop, retaining its focus on danceable grooves and some of its electronic shimmer but generally favoring the glam rock theatrics and bombastic orchestral and choral arrangements of the first two Ark albums. The resulting collection is pleasingly varied, if undeniably grandiose — probably the band's most diverse — but potentially liable to put off listeners who were won over by State's emotional directness and blissful pop efficiency. It's not that Salo has suddenly become disingenuous; more that the over-the-top arrangements here tend to highlight his campy theatricality at the expense of his earnestness, particularly in light of the comparatively sparse State, while his increasingly ambiguous (if frequently evocative) lyrics don't make things any more reassuring. Or it could just be that the songwriting is less consistently compelling. Nothing particularly drags — even an obvious throwaway like "All I Want Is You" gets decent mileage from its "Crocodile Rock" piano and Salo's seeming inability to write an ineffectual hook — but most of the album feels too much like business as usual for the band, with should-be-sensational singles like "Absolutely No Decorum" and the darkly dancy, "Like a Prayer"-evincing title track sounding naggingly reminiscent of their past glories. Still, workaday Ark is nevertheless something special, be it glimmer-disco like "I Pathologize," straight-ahead rock like "New Pollution" (no relation to the Beck hit, but nearly as incoherent), or gaudily operatic glam like "Death to the Martyrs," (which features the rousing refrain "you sorry ass.") They're slightly more successful when they tweak their formula somewhat, as on the twitchy, late-Bowie-esque "Little Dysfunk You" (including the lyrical challenge: "always quoting Morrissey/but did you ever do it with a boy?") and the hymn-like, handclap singalong "Gimme Love to Give." As usual, they conclude in noteworthy fashion, in this case with "Uriel," a spare, Leonard Cohen-ish folk ballad with cryptic lyrics (about a mermaid? a drowned woman?), written when Salo was only 16, that sounds almost nothing like the rest of the album. ~ K.

2010 Subaru Forester - Consumer Review
Build Quality
Reliability Value
Build Quality
Reliability Value
Sounds like a Diesel
By Jimmie on
Vehicle2010 Subaru Forester 2.5X 4dr SUV AWD (2.5L 4cyl 4A)
ReviewI go out in the morning start my Forester and it sounds like a diesel! After a minute or so of warming up it quiets down to a normal sounding gas engine. It seems that over night the oil must run off the major parts and in the morning when I first start it up it sounds like a diesel! I would have to say the engine is starving for oil, possibly or the oil is not heavy enough. Took it to the dealer they say they hear nothing out of the ordinary. Also, there is a loud whine from the rear end when applying the gas. And again the dealership could not hear this either.
Best FeaturesLike the AWD & the breaking system and the interior room.
Worst FeaturesI would improve the excessive noise when first starting the engine. Also, the hood latch opening with a gasket to keep the weather out of the engine compartment. Radio. Correct the loud whining coming from the gears in the rear end.
