The right to Privacy..Fence
The Lowes person who came out to do the quote laughed about my guess and he also noted that he too felt awkward and uncomfortable from the neighbors as he was doing the quote. So glad it isn't just me. The people at Lowes were very good and very conscientious. I am sure I could have found the fencing and labor cheaper, but with Lowes I got a year warranty on parts and service, so that is ok. Enough with the advert, the contractors came out and installed the fence. Unlike the other services from lowes, these contractors were slow. There were two guys, the slightly older, chunky one was too involved talking on his phone and going to other job sites. While the younger, kind of hot guy did most of the work, but alone it is ponderous and drags at a snails pace. The one in charge kept promising me it would be done in two days, on day two he promised that it would be done that day. On the third day he promised me that it would be done that day, but that I should expect three days to put up a fence this long. I told him that had I never been told, by him, that he would be done in two days no problem, then I would have indeed had no problem with a three day time line. They were slow, but it was done in three days and now I have my fence!
My daughter, who avoided the yard all last year because of the creepy neighbors and their dogs, is now comfortable going out and laying a blanket on the lawn to read or snapchat, whatever kids do now. And I can wear what I wish and not have to worry about the neighbors clocking me, they are very avid watchers of us. Hence Fence.
I am able to do yard work and just enjoy the outside, dressed in whatever I wish. Eventually, I will be me full time, that is the plan. The fence helps with mediating my needs versus my fears. We can even get no tanline tans if we want, without fear of being ogled by the people next door. I don't even like tanning, but may do it just because I can.

Facebook and the angry Cis
There are times where social media is magnanimous and gracious, in the case of HB2 for NC, this has been the case, mostly. People have rallied, not just LGBT, but Cis as well. It is a good feeling that we aren't forgotten, that we aren't left to fend for ourselves. There are truly good people in the world and to a point it gives one hope that things will change. However, my heart always drops when I see the comments that attach themselves like leeches. Angry, heartless comments from cis men and women, who are sure that we are only wearing dresses to be "special" or to get into bathrooms to be perverts. They are vile, senseless comments, designed to make the reader who is trans, feel exactly how I feel. I feel attacked and it adds yet another reason not to be out in public, for fear of meeting one of these pillars of the community. In short, I feel terrorized, in a most profound way.
I don't know how this kind of hate is generated in a person. I don't understand why who I am is a problem for anyone else. What is more, these people feel no chagrin, no remorse about the words they use. They feel justified in their hate, even righteous. I was reminded at one point, of a time, not too long ago when a larger group of people were told they could not eat in certain restaurants, drink from public water fountains, or allowed in certain schools. A burning cross, with those around it celebrating over the pain and anguish of those they victimized, is not far off from what we face now. We have been murdered, raped, treated as animals, as less than human. We are unprotected, easy targets, with even the police looking the other way when attacks happen.
This treatment is based in fear, we are what they don't understand, and we can't make them understand. We can't force them to be insightful, to look within themselves, they only see the threat, they only see that we represent to them a fracture in the bedrock of their paradigm. It is far easier to attack than to understand, reply in anger rather than with love.
I have weeded out a lot of facebook "friends", I have always been strict about who I allowed access to my page anyway. Not everyone has to agree with me, they don't have to like what I say, but if they want to remain on my page, they will not reply with vile garbage. And if they post ignorant, mean posts about others who are different, I have every right to unfriend them, and I exercise that right with no mercy. I wonder if I encounter this now, how it will be later. How will it be when I am their active target, when I am out? I don't mind losing facebook friends, I just don't want to read their comments about me. Like I don't already know I have a man's body, like I don't know that I will never be a "real" woman, physically. I am already imagining the worst and that is the point. They terrorize with their hate and we are left imagining the worst. It leaves little good for us to imagine, little peace in our choices.

I am a geek. I'm not just an IT nerd, but also a D&D playing, dice carrying, know all the rules since "Chainmail" was the book, Joss Whedon based podcast co-host, comic book reading - Geek.
Not the best place for a male-bodied female to grow, but not the worst either. In many ways, being a geek has the same demands as being a sports jock. You have to be male or you won't be taken seriously, your opinions won't matter. If you are different, you are shunned for the most part. Many of my D&D groups were entirely male, with very few even casual female players stepping in. Playing female characters were not encouraged, mostly because they were mis-represented in game. (female elf that hangs out in her underwear, trying to get the rest of the party to sleep with her? really?) They were not people, but pin-ups to be used by the group. Some kind of sexual wish fulfillment from a male gamer with little grasp of the finer details of being a woman adventurer.
I always avoided playing a woman, because I didn't want to out myself to my groups. I felt as if by my playing a woman accurately, they may see what I am. So, in my gaming career I have only ever played two women, and both times I was acutely aware of the spot I was putting myself in, luckily it's never as bad in real life as it is in your head. I never outed myself, it just felt that way.
Female friends, and some girlfriends/wives would try to enter the game, but they were treated in one of two ways, I am sure unknowingly by the guys in the group. One, like they were mentally challenged, everything over-explained in a patronizing slow speak kind of way. Or, like they were about to be raped, heavy handed sexual references in game to their characters, hitting on the other group members girlfriend/wife through the characters, etc. So, yeah hard to break into these groups if you are a woman, and not really a place I would open myself up, being MtF.
The cons are worse, far worse. There is no control, no way of knowing which group will be cool or assholes during the games, it's all random. My roommate (best friend) and I brought in one of our female friends to the Midsouth Con, in Memphis. She had never been to a con and I thought a smaller one would be a more casual way of introducing her to Cons. She is a petite redhead, very pretty, but also very smart and sure of herself. So of course the people there were attracted to her. Cos-play people were coming up to her (in regular clothes) to get photos with her, it was getting to the point of her feeling uncomfortable, I think. So we both played her bodyguards, shunting the more aggressive men away from her. She did have a good time, but that was more due to her being a genuinely good and kind person than anything the con-goers did. She could find the bright side of the dark side of the moon.
So, I co-hosted a podcast based on the works of Joss Whedon. Firefly, BtVS, Angel, Dollhouse (not my favorite show), etc. This was before he started the Marvel movies, so he was not really well known outside geek circles. I co-hosted and produced and directed this podcast, and I was doing this with my best friend and roommate, so I was very happy. We did fun yet informative podcasts, never taking ourselves too seriously, and to some listeners, not seriously enough. I think I brought a more feminine point of view to the show, though I was careful not to out myself to my friend of the audience. Despite being a closet transgender woman, it was some of the best times of my life.
Being a MtF geeks means that when you are gaming and playing a girl, the wish fulfillment is that you wish you were physically the girl you imagine, that the other players would see you as that girl for just a little while. Even now, not having a gaming group, as we all moved away to other parts of the country, I found that MMORPGs can fulfill some of those needs. I game on SWOTR, and used to game on WOW/Dark Age of camelot, and more. But when I do, they are female characters, meticulously crafted into what I would want to be (in the case of some of these games, what I want to be if I was an elf or dark elf, etc). It made it awkward when gaming with others, using voice instead of typing your conversations, it brought me out of the fantasy, to hear my semi-deep male voice. I would often claim my microphone wasn't working so I could avoid using my voice at all. Even today, I play SWOTR solo, just to live the storylines as a female.
So there you have it, a little insight into a world I hadn't previously shared.

Dress for the Occasion
Clothes don't have gender, they are clothes; pieces of fabric sown together to create something that will cover body parts. When I put on a dress, I am putting on a piece of fabric. When I put on a t-shirt, it's the same bloody thing, just shorter. I feel more feminine in the dress. So the labels that are attributed to different articles of clothing are something we created over time. It was used as a sort of power over women, you can't wear pants, you must wear dresses. But also, ultimately limited the very men who wielded that power. Now men must wear pants. So if you have the body of a man, then you must wear pants. So I wear womens pants. That will show them.
I feel more feminine because I am a construct of the society in which I was cultivated. Dresses and halter tops for girls. Jeans and ties for boys, though hopefully not at the same time. Even without those clothes, I would be a woman on the inside. I would have no way of expressing who I am, no way to show that this person you are looking at isn't me.
What I don't understand is why it brings such hate to others. That man is wearing a dress, how dare he, we should beat him to death for trying to be something he biologically isn't. We feel tricked, for a second I wanted to have sex with a man who appeared to be a woman. Anger face, Argh, let's kill what we don't understand. Not a rational, well that person must be either transgender or perhaps transvestite. Let's just assume that this person is wearing a dress and wig for a reason and move on with our days. I mean, that persons act hasn't impacted anything in my world, my paradigm isn't so fragile as to come crumbling down because I see a male body in a skirt. I can't ever visit Scotland if that is the case. Scotland, land of the paradigm crumblers, and yet still very macho, don't get me wrong.
I'm not ignoring the FtM, let's beat this biological woman to death because she chose to wear pants and stuff a sock down her pants. We don't want her stealing our women, or confusing us. That must mean that I can beat her for realsies. And I have the option of raping her and still remaining straight, while getting to fuck a kind of guy, you know to teach her a lesson.
The tragedy is that if you spend your time hating someone for how they appear, or how they challenge your sexual orientation, then you are missing out on some very kind, good people in your lives. All because you think dresses are for girls and pants are for boys, that sexual orientation is the same as sexual identity, and that having been born with or without a penis defines you.
I realize, as I end this, that I am preaching to the choir. And that possibly I have just laid out the plots to a couple of late 80s, early 90s movies.

Red, green and all the colors in between
I am a middle aged (hedging my bets) woman, trapped in a mans body. I work in a place that is actively intolerant of anyone different, all due to a few senior managers. That place in which I work also requires me to occasionally get completely undressed and go into a separate room to put on clean room clothing. My mom has level 4 lung cancer that she has defeated for 15 years, but now it is winning fast. I'm not going to put my mom through my problems. I get to watch every woman being women and here I am in a male meat suit. No reason to be a little edgy, right?
My life has been about suppressing and hiding. And something I wrote yesterday kind of stuck with me. I'm not an outgoing personality, nor am I quirky. I am an introvert and somewhat emotionally needy, and that doesn't seem to work for being out in the open.
I am much more like Kim in "Different for Girls". I am shy and I don't want to be outspoken. I just want to be me. That paints me as a wallflower, perhaps I am, I'm not outgoing. I see other blogs where they are going out to clubs or having meetings in which they can talk to one another, and I am in awe of their ability to do that. I actively avoid social situations, which may be a result of not being able to be who I am. Same reason I avoid having photos taken of me. What I see when I think of me, is vastly different than what others see.
So, angry, yes? Now I am just a bit down, the anger is gone for now.

Venting - Frustrated
I hate that I am biologically a man. I hate being transgender. I hate having to deal with any of this, to feel this way, to feel so wrong. I put a tremendous amount of energy into hiding what I am, who I am. And I don't like doing it at all. I hate that what I am is so repugnant, so unacceptable, that I have to hide almost everything about me. To hide it from people I care about for fear that they won't accept me as I am. Imagine that you had to not only play the part of something you aren't, but your body was a costume you can't ever take off.
I just want to not be this anymore. I didn't choose this, I hate it.

A lot of thoughts for a Monday
I am mentally preparing myself. I am trying to physically prepare myself. I am already making changes to my home.
(Let me explain the home changes first) I live in a very small part of a very small town. This means that the one neighbor I have is not only close-minded, but fully in support of the Christian right without ever stepping foot in a church. So, to that end I have decided to alter our landscape a bit. I am, at this moment, having a privacy fence installed separating our properties. They are also dodgy neighbors, so a fence is called for in any circumstance. The privacy part means I don't have to wear gender neutral or men's clothes while I do yard work, which is a bonus! Also, I have a little girl who likes to sunbathe and she felt weird last summer with the neighbors sitting on their porch watching her.
The Physical preparation is that I am working out and eating healthy. I am trying to not only lose weight I needed to lose regardless; I am trying to feel better. I have a treadmill and I am starting to use my yoga mat for actual yoga. My son, Martin, is in very good shape so I am hopeful that he will give me pointers and encouragement. And yes, I want to look good in the clothes I will be wearing.
I grew up in a small town in Missouri. I had very little opportunity to be who I actually was. I had moments, wearing my little sisters' clothes, or wearing my stepmothers' clothes. I would be able to spend an hour or so feeling feminine, before having to take them off and put the boys' clothes I was allowed to wear back on. I was attracted to girls, but also to a few boys. I was a girl in a boy's body; it was all very confusing for me. So if I didn't understand it, how could anyone else? How could I exist in a small town like that? Yet here I am again, in another small town. Now I have the ravages of testosterone to live down, which will never go away. I am going to get clocked, no matter what I do or the surgeries I have done. I don't have the personality to pull off being the eccentric transgender, I don't have the grace to be the lady above it all. It's going to be tough and mostly not fun, but I will get to be a version of me, that is better than nothing at all.
I'm actually more worried about what all this is doing to my wife. She supports me, but in a "whatever you feel you need to do" kind of way. I don't expect her to be excited, I'm not sure what I expect. She likes drag queens and gay men, she thinks they are awesome. I feel as if it would have been better for her if I had just been a gay man, more easily accepted. Again this is just the feeling I have and it's entirely possible that I am completely wrong in this assumption. Since I have come out to her, our sex life has been going down to a slow crawl. Of course it's never been a frenzy pace. I feel like she isn't attracted to me, that despite her assertions that she is bi-sexual it doesn't extend to transgender. We are certainly having a lot less sex. Though she didn't seem to mind sex while I was wearing a nightgown, it wasn't planned, one of those early morning, delicious slow sex things, and I wear a nightgown most nights. I don't know, she could be stressed, tired or tired and stressed etc.
Ok so jumping past that, I had something peculiar happen the other day. I was looking at some porn on Reddit, yes porn, I like looking at women to see body types and breasts I would like. Yes I also look at cocks, that isn't for research, just for fun. Anyway, I am looking at porn, in the very early morning, wearing a tight pair of panties in place of a gaff. Well I reached down and to my surprise, I had ejaculated. I wasn't hard at all, my penis was retracted into me, which I prefer to tucking, as it feels more comfortable. It was very odd, I have no problems getting erect. In fact it's damn annoying how often I get hard. Makes it very uncomfortable when I am tucked. So now I have shared too much, right? Well it would be nice to know how or why this happened in this way. I'm not worried, I'm actually kind of glad. I felt like I was aroused without my penis really being a factor, more of an emotional orgasm.
I want to start HRT, I have to do something, even if I have to travel out of town to meet with a therapist. Things have to change, very soon.

Pondering the planning
So, I was able to tell my son and my wife, who I am. Who I really am and not the façade they are seeing before them. I have another son and a daughter that need to be told. He is 22 and already deals with the issue from Martin, so that should not be a problem. I have to wait a bit for our daughter to get through puberty a bit more, to acclimate to the issues already before her. I don't want to wait, I want to do it now, but I have to give her time.
I have read many things about transition, but one sticks with me. If you do this, you must be prepared to lose your work and your home, your family and your friends. I think that I have a secure enough family that I won't lose most of them, perhaps one of my brothers. Of friends, there aren't that many to be honest, but almost all of the ones I have are no strangers to alternative lifestyles, so I'm not sure this will be a lot different, or perhaps I am just being hopeful.
My work? Yeah, I will lose that, most assuredly. Or at least I will be treated so badly, so horribly that I couldn't possibly work there. But I live in an "at-will" state, so most likely I will be let go immediately. I will have to think on that one, what my plan is when this happens. Worst case scenario. My home?It's a possibility; I have to pay a mortgage. I only have one neighbor and we are putting up a privacy fence this week. So, it only comes down to the job situation and continuing to pay my mortgage.
Not a lot of reasons I can see to not do it, though I think I will decline full transition. I think I would like to go all the way up to an orchiectomy, and stop at that point. I want to stop completely the testosterone. I have a lot of planning and not really a lot of time. I am old, only getting older and I am tired of waiting for magic to happen or suppressing who I am for other people.

I came out to my son!
Anyway, I explained how I had to hide, that I have always been this other person. That the makeup in the bathroom is mine, and all those Amazon packages, those are dresses, panties, wigs, etc. I told him that my focus is making sure that he never has to hide who he is. I want him to just be who he is without fear.
I am still feeling a lot of emotions, but mostly I am just relieved. Now I have two more to go, I have to time these out. It's more important to be a patient parent, to make sure I am not overloading them with things. Our 13 year old will be last, only because she has enough to be getting on with. Puberty and school, I will give her some time to adjust to her own issues before I hit her with my issues.
More to come, I have weekend things going on and a lot of feels in the works. I'm so glad I came out to my son!

Okay the problem isn't whether I want to go or not because I don't even know myself. Most of my good friends are going but my closest friend isn't going. I don't have a dress and it's literally 2 weeks away. I basically don't have anything planned. I am a transfer student so it's my first time going to this kind of thing. My parents kind of said I could't go but they gave me a condition like if i could help out and blah blah blah I could go. But they said they preferred if I skipped this one and go for the one next year because next year will be my last school year and I should go all out next year and plan everything. But they said it's okay if i went this year if i really wanted to. Im just scared like everyone will be talking about it the week after prom and I will be left out. But i have nothing planned and it's really too rushed but i still really want to go. But my parents also said that if i didn't go this year, they will get me a bunch of new clothes and shoes to make up for it. Should I wait and risk everything and go all out next year? I really feel like it would be a waste of money if i went this year because i wouldn't have proper shoes, dress etc bit i still really want to go...
Should I go to prom?
Have an opinion?
What Guys Said 1
Personally I wouldn't go. I only went to my senior year prom and it's just an overhyped dance. To be honest I'm a bit biased since I'm not a fan of dancing or spending $300 for a one night kind of thing.
People will most likely disagree with me but I think prom is just people trying to have fun. Some people will but if you ask anyone who goes to prom if they had fun they will say yes. It's just like this big event for no reason of everyone pretending they had fun to the outside world to fit in.
I would stay home get a bunch of clothes from my parents and go next year. One: so you can plan it. Two: Get a date. There: it will be more magical if you go once compared to twice.00|00|0
What Girls Said 1
If you really want to go maybe you can ask your relatives if they have kept a prom dress just in case, or you can find cheap prom dresses on amazon (however, I don't trust shopping online when it comes to clothes).00|00|0

The Borough of Port Vue
The borough did not begin until it broke away from Lincoln Township in 1893. The 500 residents that comprised the new area known as Port Vue convened in an old schoolhouse on the Edmundson farm and considered naming the new town Grandview. However, they settled on the name Port Vue due to the beautiful view of the Youghiogheny River.
Port Vue Today
The borough has two recreational facilities which include tennis courts, dek hockey courts, horseshoe pits, and picnic pavilions.

I'm a junior in high school and I've never been kissed or been on a date. I have severe allergies to peanuts and tree nuts. My allergy is airborne and fatal. I'm worried that if I ever get a boyfriend or go on a date that the person won't understand the severity of my allergies. Kissing would be a HUGE risk because if the person ate something containing an allergen and kissed me I could become sick and possibly die. I would also feel bad telling the person I'm with "No, you can't order that. It has nuts on it." because it's kind of rude but it has to be done or I'll get sick!
Would you date anyone with nut allergies? (knowing that you can't eat a certain type of food and have to ask about ingredients and oils at restaurants or just not kiss at all until the person was comfortable and trusted you enough)
- Yes, I would date them.Vote A
- No, I would not date them.Vote B

A Two-Part, Phase II Randomized Trial to Explore Topical Spironolactone to Prevent/Attenuate Rash From Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor Inhibitors (Panitumumab and Cetuximab) in Advanced Cancer Patients
I. To determine feasibility of the administration of topical spironolactone versus placebo
in this patient population. (Study I) II. To further explore the efficacy of the topical
spironolactone to prevent/attenuate rash from EGFR inhibitors. (Study II)
I. To explore efficacy of the spironolactone versus placebo. (Study I) II. To describe the
efficacy of a Modified Preemptive Therapy Regimen intervention. (Study II) III. To explore
the adverse event profile of spironolactone and the Modified Preemptive Therapy Regimen
intervention. (Study II) IV. To explore patient reported outcomes of patients using
spironolactone and a Modified Preemptive Therapy Regimen intervention. (Study II) V. To
explore long term (8 week) effect of the 4 week treatment of spironolactone and a Modified
Preemptive Therapy Regimen intervention on EFGR induced rash. (Study II)
STUDY I: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms.
ARM I: Patients apply spironolactone topically to face twice daily (BID) for 4 weeks.
ARM II: Patients apply placebo topically to face BID for 4 weeks.
STUDY II: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms.
ARM I: Patients apply spironolactone topically to face and body BID for 4 weeks
ARM II: Patients undergo modified preemptive therapy regimen consisting of skin moisturizer
topically BID, sunscreen topically before going outside, hydrocortisone topically once daily
(QD), and doxycycline orally (PO) BID for 4 weeks.
Allocation: Randomized, Endpoint Classification: Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment, Masking: Single Blind (Subject), Primary Purpose: Treatment
Feasibility of a topical spironolactone ointment at 4 weeks.
The primary analysis will influence the decision to proceed to the larger 60-patient trial and will depend on whether patients find the topical spironolactone tolerable with minimal side effects. The treatment will be considered feasible if: at least 60% of patients in the spironolactone arm complete the 4-week study intervention at least 50% of patients in the spironolactone arm develop a truncal/extremity rash of any grade at the end of 4 weeks. Again, the purpose of this assessment is to establish that the spironolactone is not causing any systemic anti-EGFR effects. less than 20% of patients experience a grade 2+ adverse event attributed to spironolactone

I've invited my amazing assistant, Shaina from Your Ampersand Studio, to take over the blog for today. She shares my love of putting pen to paper and has recently gotten into bullet journaling, so she'll be showing you some bullet journaling basics. Here's what she has to say:
As a busy graphic designer, virtual assistant and, let's just be real here: human, I have tried many things to get and stay organized. I love my Reminders list and my iCal, don't get me wrong! But there is something special about putting pen to paper and planning out my days the good ol' fashioned way.
I'm not immune to the lure of pretty planners and printables out there, and have spent lots of money on these in the past, only to have them sit on my desk or shelf unused. But in July of last year I stumbled on something that has completely changed the flow of my life and how I plan and organize. I don't remember if it was on Pinterest or Instagram or what, but I'm so grateful that I found Bullet Journaling!
What is bullet journaling? Well, I think the inventor of the Bullet Journal said it best:
"The Bullet Journal is an analog system designed to track the past, organize the present, and plan for the future." – Ryder Carroll
This system of tracking, organizing and planning is made up of 4 key elements: The Index, Collections, Rapid-Logging and Migration. I didn't understand how it all worked when I saw the first few images of bullet journals online, so I went right to the source. Here is a video from bulletjournal.com that explain all the components and how they work together.
- INDEX: This is the backbone of your Bullet Journal. As your journal grows with plans and notes you always make reference to what pages you can find those specific notes on in your Index. This makes finding exactly what you need that you just knew you wrote down super easy.
- COLLECTIONS: These are how your days and tasks are organized. The 3 core collections are: Future Log – where you write down things that will happen in the future (not the month you're in), Monthly Log – where you write out events on a Calendar page and tasks you want to get done on your Task page, Daily Log – This is what you use every day to keep track of events, tasks and make notes. Then you have other Collections – where you open to a blank spread in your journal and collect notes and thoughts about a specific topic, like books you want to read, or goals.
- RAPID – LOGGING: This is the short-form notes that you use throughout your collections, known as bullets. These are short sentences to help you remember your tasks, events and other important things for that day and/or collection.
- MIGRATION: This is the part of Bullet Journaling that can be life-changing, because you'll be analyzing and prioritizing like never before. You will migrate tasks from your Daily Log into your new Monthly Log that you still want to get accomplished and cross out the things you don't need any more.
Here are some images of my own personal Bullet Journal to show you how I use it. I love how versatile this is and how it can be just what you need from day-to-day.
These are my Index and Future Log pages. SUPER SIMPLE. I transferred to a new journal at the start of April, so there isn't much on these pages, but I wanted to share how simple these are, but so useful. You can go crazy decorating (which I'll talk about in a bit) but function is the most important part.
Here is my April Monthly Log and a couple of bonus pages that I added after looking at lots of examples online. I added a Goals & Happenings Collection, and a monthly tracker to keep track of which days I did certain things throughout the month.
And here are a couple examples of different Collections that I have within my Bullet Journal: a Books To Read page, and also a place to house my inspiration for one of my logo design clients. I love to sketch things first, and having this handy to get my ideas down when I have them is super helpful.
Bullet Journaling has become a really personal way for me to keep track of what has happened, live more fully in the moment during my days, and plan for the future. For now I'm keeping my pages and collections really simple, but there are so many tips, products, doodling and decorating ideas out there, I promise you will never get bored with your Bullet Journal. Here are a couple examples from my Bullet Journal Pinterest board that I just love. Also be sure to check out the Bullet Journal Junkies FB Group and the #bulletjournal hashtag on Instagram for more inspiration!
So are you ready to give it a try? I've got some links for you to find supplies to get you started. These are the things I use currently, and a couple things on my #wishlist too!
- A notebook. I started with a journal I had laying around the house to get comfortable with before investing in one of these special journals, but I love the moleskin I use now. It comes with graph paper inside, which is really helpful for drawing your lines and organizing. You can also purchase directly from the Bullet Journal creator, and a lot of people love the Leuchtturm1917 notebooks too.
- Pens. I use this "Mark" pen from Ali Edwards, which is from my scrapbooking stash. I love how fine the tip is and it doesn't bleed onto the next page. These Pilot FriXion pens are also a fan favorite because they come in fun colors and they're ERASABLE! In my Amazon cart as we speak!
- Washi Tape. I use a day-of-the-week washi tape for my daily log, and for decorating different collections within my bullet journal. There are SO MANY different patterns available. Careful not to fall too far down this rabbit hole!
- Stamps and ink. StazOn ink is my favorite brand and has been for over 10 years. It comes in tons of colors, but I've been keeping it simple and using black in my journal. And let's not forget about stamps! I use a simple date stamp for each of my daily logs, but there are so many other options out there, like these ones from Studio L2E. You can use these to decorate or for functionality within your journal.
So, what do you think? Will you give Bullet Journaling a try? Have you heard of this type of planning before? I have fallen in love with it and I'm glad it's part of my everyday life.
Thanks for letting me share, Laura. We've got a passion for planning!
PS. For those of you who are always missing a pen, here is a quick guide to how I keep my pen and my Bullet Journal together. Enjoy!

Hey guys, Mykel/Bua here!
I'm just wondering if any of you Texan collectors know of a place near Lubbock, TX to live show.
I'm starting to get my parents into the hobby and they want to take me to some shows.
If not in TX, I'm still near New MX so if any of you from either TX or NM know of an upcoming show I could enter, let me know!

What has this world come to?????!!!!!?!?!?!?!?! Today I heard that there are thieves going to other people's stables and cutting the hair off of their horses' tails! This is just sad! Horses need their tails to swat bugs and flies and when they don't have their tails, well, that can't turn into anything good! Wow. I feel like I need to make people more aware of this, because I am not sure everyone knows about it, but not sure how to bring awareness to horse lovers! What I can say, to the people
Take a look at some of my pictures from the Florida Carriage Museum on my other blog (lol). Lots of drool-worthy horses that I feel the need to share.

'The Runaways' Premieres at Sundance (PHOTOS)
Do these two know how to glam up a room, or what?
New Moon co-stars Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning were on hand at the Eccles Center Theatre in Park City, Utah, on Sunday for the premiere of their latest project, the Joan Jett biopic The Runaways, at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival.
Decked out in ultra-casual attire, K-Stew also put in some face time with Jett herself, and if you can tell the two apart, you have better eyes than we do.
The Runaways opens wide in March, but in the meantime, feel free to dig into our photo gallery to revel in the majesty and wonder of the movie's premiere.

No reward points for this product.
Rosemary is an aromatic evergreen shrub that has leaves similar to hemlock needles. The leaves are used as a flavoring in foods such as stuffings and roast lamb, pork, chicken and turkey. It is native to the Mediterranean and Asia, but is reasonably hardy in cool climates. It can withstand droughts, surviving a severe lack of water for lengthy periods.[5] Forms range from upright to trailing; the upright forms can reach 1.5 m (5 ft) tall, rarely 2 m (6 ft 7 in). The leaves are evergreen, 2–4 cm (0.8–1.6 in) long and 2–5 mm broad, green above, and white below, with dense, short, woolly hair. The plant flowers in spring and summer in temperate climates, but the plants can be in constant bloom in warm climates; flowers are white, pink, purple or deep blue.

Profiles Toward Progress
Leading local advocacy organizations are working in 22 communities of color across the country to change the public policies and neighborhood conditions that will help families to lead healthier lives.
The groups are the collective force of Communities Creating Healthy Environments (CCHE), a $15 million program of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation that is central to the goal of reversing childhood obesity.
"These groups provide a panoramic, multicultural view of how inequalities in access to healthy foods and safe places to play affect communities, and they offer local, on-the-ground solutions," noted Dwayne C. Proctor, director of the Foundation's childhood obesity team. "We all can learn from what they accomplish."
The organizations and the locations where they are involved include:
Alternatives for Community and Environment, Boston
With its history in environmental justice, the organization is leveraging a membership base of nearly 1,000 residents to target comprehensive economic development, land-use policies and food affordability for Boston's Roxbury area. It aims to increase residents' buying power and access to "green jobs" while improving the community's green space, walkability and healthy food outlets. www.ace-ej.org
Asian Pacific Environmental Network, Oakland, Calif.
As one of the country's leading environmental justice networks, the organization is engaging, recruiting and training members of local Asian American communities—particularly lower-income immigrants and refugee families—to improve the food and recreational environment throughout the East Bay area. http://www.apen4ej.org
CAAAV Organizing Asian Communities, New York City
The organization, which typically focuses on gentrification, worker exploitation, immigrant deportation and related issues, is working to increase public recreation space for Chinatown residents along Manhattan's Lower East Side waterfront and to secure a new recreation facility and healthy food alternatives for the Southeast Asian community in a quadrant of the Bronx. www.caaav.org
Chinese Progressive Association, San Francisco
The organization, which has long demanded better living and working conditions for immigrant Chinese and other groups, is involving the local health department, multiracial organizations and faith communities to craft a master health plan. The goal is a community-based process that integrates land use, tax policy, transit and more into enforceable policy. www.cpasf.org
Community Coalition, Los Angeles
Founded in response to the 1980s crack cocaine epidemic, the organization is developing a model healthy school policy at a local high school. It's also working with city planners and neighborhood planning commissions to accelerate park improvements, expand recreation and encourage healthy food outlets over the clustering of such businesses as liquor stores and day motels. www.cocosouthla.org
Council of Athabascan Tribal Governments, Fort Yukon, Alaska
Comprised of 10 indigenous nations and dedicated to empowering and building the capacity of their tribal governments, the organization is strengthening community mobilization, advocacy and funding to address food and recreational issues affecting the region. A model project will focus on increased citizen participation in managing natural resources to protect traditional foods. www.catg.org
Freedom Inc., Madison, Wis.
With a diverse membership well beyond the Hmong women who comprised its original core, the organization is engaging Asian American youths and their families in the Madison area. It recently helped to spur a public housing agreement for land set-asides for urban gardens. It is developing a community education curriculum and policy advocacy on recreation access and funding. www.myspace.com/freedomincorporated
Indigenous Environmental Network, Bemidji, Minn.
Fueled by its track record of policy change on environmental and social justice issues, the network is intent on increasing access to healthy, locally grown and wild foods for Native Americans in Northern Minnesota. This work toward "food sovereignty" will include a food council that will bridge gaps in the local food system. http://www.ienearth.org
Inner-City Muslim Action Network, Chicago
Formed by Muslim students, community residents and leaders as a response to inner-city poverty, the organization is helping local businesses address issues like limited availability of healthy foods and the disproportionate amount of shelf space allotted for unhealthy items. It is conducting surveys, market research and merchant trainings, and mobilizing public support to increase healthy food outlets. www.imancentral.org
Inner City Struggle, Los Angeles
These zones will effectively limit the availability of unhealthy food products. With roots in the Chicano activism of the 1960s, the organization is targeting school policies so students have safe places to play and better access to healthy food during the day. It already has helped establish "health empowerment zones" in several schools, which will provide added recreation options after school. www.innercitystruggle.org
La Unión del Pueblo Entero, San Juan, Texas
Founded by labor rights activist César Chávez, the organization is working to eliminate inequities in recreation funding and access in Hidalgo County—with one goal being street lighting that would immediately allow greater physical activity within the colonias. Activities will include an extensive scan of public and private recreation resourcing, expanded Spanish-language advocacy materials and trainings. www.lupenet.org
Malcolm X Grassroots Movement, Jackson, Miss.
The organization, a multi-city network of racial justice and human rights activists, is partnering with the American Civil Liberties Union to increase food and recreation access in Jackson. Its work will cover model tax and financing incentives to facilitate the expansion of healthy food outlets, collaboration with farmers and advocacy for more public funding of recreation and green space. www.mxgm.org
Mvskoke Food Sovereignty Initiative, Okmulgee, Okla.
The initiative, which is focused on sustainable agriculture and economic development, is collecting and compiling local data as part of a campaign for food and fitness advocacy and policy development. It will craft a model policy allowing tribal food services to purchase locally produced food. www.mvskokefood.org
Padres Unidos, Denver
The intergenerational organization, which was formed more than 20 years ago to take on school funding disparities, actively mobilizes students of all ages. Its efforts include forging alliances with food worker unions, farmers and others to encourage the public school system to increase access to healthy foods. Among the solutions: A "scratch cooking" pilot program, which uses fresh and locally sourced ingredients. http://padresunidos.org
People Organized to Win Employment Rights, San Francisco
With its record of grassroots advocacy among homeowners and public housing residents in the Bayview Hunters Point section of San Francisco, the organization is working to increase the community's oversight of redevelopment activities. It's also pressing for better environmental health citywide through greater public access to green spaces and locally grown produce. http://peopleorganized.org
Power U Center for Social Change, Miami
The organization, which works with lower-income residents, women and youth, is focusing on the historic Overtown community and how to leverage Sustainable Community Benefits Agreements to expand access to food and recreation. It also will aim for policy change to increase institutional support for breastfeeding and, within the public schools, limit student detention in lieu of recreation alternatives. www.poweru.org
Restaurant Opportunities Center of Michigan, Detroit
Building on its mission to improve restaurant workers' conditions and advancement, the organization is moving toward a regional collaboration with residents, policymakers, health advocates, urban farmers and business owners. It will establish a workers leadership council, advance advocacy and offer model policies to better regulate the prepared food environment. www.rocunited.org/affiliates/michigan
Rocky Boy Health Board, Box Elder, Mont.
The board, which has administered youth health initiatives within the Rocky Boy Nation, is partnering with the Tribal Business Committee to develop programming to build youth advocacy on childhood obesity prevention and changes in school food and recreation policies. It recently helped to achieve land set-asides for local food production and in-store nutrition labeling for grocery shoppers. http://www.rockyboy.org
Safe Streets/Strong Communities, New Orleans
The organization, created after Hurricane Katrina, is using its membership, contacts and experience to provide resident trainings, workshops and public forums about recreation and food issues. Its base of mostly lower-income African-American women is working with other residents, civic leaders and policymakers to maintain city resources for park and recreation programs. http://www.safestreetsnola.org
SouthWest Organizing Project, Albuquerque, N.M.
The organization, which has long focused on reconnecting communities to their land, is promoting local food production on formerly empty and littered lots. It already has turned a property half the size of a soccer field into an urban garden and negotiated water access through city officials—another key issue it will address through policy to help maintain water as a public good. http://www.swop.net
Southwest Youth Collaborative, Chicago
The organization, which advocates for youth from diverse racial, ethnic and economic backgrounds, is seeking changes in food service contracts in juvenile detention centers to eliminate junk food marketing and increase healthy options. It will offer model policies for healthy food and recreation access, conduct organizer trainings and establish a Youth Accountability Council. www.swyc.org
WE ACT for Environmental Justice, New York City
Dedicated to building community power to fight for environmental justice, the organization is working in Northern Manhattan to change school food and beverage options and increase students' access to healthy, locally grown food. One of its strategies is engaging and training youth organizers to develop and implement a policy platform to reform overall food standards in schools. http://www.weact.org

New Delhi, Feb 1 (UNI) The Congress today said it favoured reservation for all deserving sections of people, including Dalit Muslims and Christians.
Asked about Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mayawati's demand for reservation in jobs for Dalit Muslims and Christians, AICC spokesman Shakeel Ahmed said this was not the first time such suggestion had been made.
Various other political leaders had also made similar suggestions, but a consensus was needed for taking a decision.
The government was considering the suggestions and making efforts to arrive at a political consensus.
The Congress was for providing reservation to not only these sections but to all other deserving people, he said.
Similar suggestions had also been made by the Ranganath Misra Commission and the Rajinder Sachar Committee report on the welfare of minorities, he pointed out.

NOLANVILLE — Sitting on a porch with several neighbors along Eighth Street, Adam Dunn said it should not take him 20 minutes to get out of Nolanville.
A resident who works in Pflugerville, Dunn said his car is consistently covered in dirt because of the sluggish Avenue H road project, and with the way the city diverted traffic, he's been caught behind the train more often than he'd like.
"I told the city guys, this is getting ridiculous, I work at 7 in the morning every day, and between fighting the train tracks and not allowing us out of town (with the construction) ... it's ridiculous," said Dunn, who explained he wished the city had torn up only one side of Avenue H at a time, or worked the entire project faster.
Residents' patience was tried Wednesday when weekend downpours pooled onto Avenue H. Due to the project contractor's lack of drainage infrastructure, Eighth Street homeowners were greeted with impromptu koi-fish-sized ponds of rainwater, which made driving vehicles in or out of the street impossible.
"This is really such poor planning on (the city and the contractor's) part ... this morning I couldn't get out at all," Jeri Vick, a homeowner along Eighth Street, said while sitting on the porch with others.
Avenue H is currently a dirt road that construction workers dug several feet below driveway level to lay street foundation.
The nearly $1 million project, which began in January, had several delays in recent months when the contractor, Lone Star Grading and Materials, ran into unexpected water and utilities lines.
"(The lines) have to be relocated so they are not in conflict with the project," City Manager Stephen Pearl said.
Pearl said the run-ins with utility lines delayed the project by one month. A lack of drainage infrastructure added to the flooding problems, he said. The two very large puddles that blocked Eighth Street passage were due to contractors digging around a water pipe that needed to be moved.
"As soon as we were notified of the problem, we got on the phone with the contractors and the engineers to get it resolved. ... We have to provide access at all times to residents," Pearl said.
Pearl said he understands the inconvenience is inexcusable and is working to get contractors to fix the problem quickly.

Grand Annual steeplechases over the Warrnambool fences or group 1 sprints like the Stradbroke in Brisbane. All seem to come alike to the coming force in the Melbourne training ranks, Ciaron Maher.
And now the young Caulfield-based trainer looks like he has a real chance of snaring his first group 1 winner at his home track with Bon Aurum, a tough-as-teak gelded son of Bon Hoffa, who stressed his Caulfield Guineas credentials with a narrow win in the Guineas Prelude on Saturday.
The $9 shot, who gave Kerrin McEvoy his second winner of the afternoon, scored by half a neck from Tulsa ($10), with front-running Kiwi raider Dal Cielo a half head away third. Favourite Ready for Victory was never in the hunt and finished ninth.
Bon Aurum was immediately cut from $15 to $11 by Sportsbet, while Tulsa, from the Michael Moroney yard, was slashed from $17 into $9 for the classic in a fortnight.
In the fillies prelude, Craig Williams made every post a winning one on Miss Gunpowder, another Melbourne winner for shrewd South Australian handler Phillip Stokes.
The $4.20 favourite was always in control, winning the 1400-metre group 2 contest by a length from long shot Payroll ($41), with Maher's filly Jameka ($9.50), third.
Miss Gunpowder has only been beaten once - when third to Maher's flying filly Petits Filou at Moonee Valley - and with the latter being kept to sprinting trips, Stokes' charge looks a serious contender for the Thousand Guineas in a fortnight.
Stokes is delighted with the progress made by the daughter of Pendragon.
"She has very good gate speed. We weren't concerned if we had to lead but I think she's better with the sit," he said. "We had her very fit, it's a matter of keeping her together now for another two weeks."

About: Lincoln County Hospital Lincoln County Hospital Lincoln LN2 5QY
Posted by Anonymous
Last night my father had a stroke and due to the dedication and quick thinking of everyone involved he is now on the mend with hopefully not too much lasting issues. I cannot speak more highly of the doctor and their team and also those in the A&E department who calmly helped my Dad and our family through a difficult and life threatening moment. Thank you for saving my father's life we owe you all the world xx

Want to start a business?
Could your passion turn into a well-paying gig? Are you itching to convert a great idea into profits? Feel lost in the pulsating Gig Economy? Need to upgrade your career skills for the New Workplace?
It doesn't matter if you're a new business owner, an employee or a gigster; the Rules of Work are changing, forming and blending — all linking to the inertia of entrepreneurship.
Three years from now, jobs and industries sitting on a table in a coffee shop today will be searching for partners and applicants. The first responders will be those with the speedy flexibility and knowledge of entrepreneurs and gigsters.
You've landed in the right place.
Urban FIRE Training
Urban FIRE is a 16-week training program meeting once a week for three hours. Our location is at 935 Union Street at the corner of 10th Street in West Oakland, CA.
This is a low-cost program because our primary audience is the low income residents of the inner city and those who have been unemployed or under-employed as a result of the changing rules of work — essentially, the growing influence of the Gig Economy. We do not turn anyone away for financial reasons, and payment plans are set up for flexibility.
Tuition is on a sliding scale from $200 to $700 for the entire 16-week course. Your tuition is based on your last year's tax returns.
Our training goal is to help our students gain financial sustainability through entrepreneurial skills acquisition resulting in small business ownership that takes the form of self-employment or contract employment in the Gig Economy in specific and the greater market when the opportunities are identified.
Classroom Training — Retention and Connections
Some call it a 3-hour opera with the entire audience as the main characters. Urban FIRE is like nothing you've experienced — it's an interactive potpourri of visual information in constant motion and sound, group dynamics, world-class research and out-of-no-where knowledge — all working in harmony to create entrepreneurial mastery.
The learning is active, challenging and based on the global "Science of Expertise." The curriculum is engineered from the proven methods for the highest level of retention. Urban FIRE is 20 years of blend, sweat and terabytes of research and hope; that is, our hope that it will be the hardest work you'll ever love.
What They're Saying
"I want to thank you for giving me the jet-fueled start that has allowed me to flourish in my calling. You showed me how to put myself in the best mindset to learn new skills and to expand my capabilities as a solo-entrepreneur. Your Urban Fire for Women class is the foundation upon which I not only successfully returned to work after being disabled for 10 years, but also taught me to be successfully self-employed in my chosen profession. What a marvelously uplifting gift!"
"For the past 3 months I've spent 3 hours each Saturday taking one of the most impactful, life-changing courses ever: UrbanFIRE I. As result, I'm on my way to launching my own Marin business within the year. I've connected with other like-minded entrepreneurs, taken other one-day classes, and attended the 3rd Anniversary Celebration. I am planning to take UrbanFIRE II in the fall. I consider it the crown jewel of business resources in this county, not to mention San Rafael."
About the Instructor
Boku Kodama is the founder and main instructor for Urban FIRE. He has been an entrepreneur with 19 startups over a 40-year career. His entrepreneurial roots go even further back when he started a corner shop selling baseball gloves of suspicious origins at the age of nine. While this venture proved anything but profitable, his thirst for the freedom of an entrepreneurial life was established.
Boku's work has been cited by the US Department of Labor as the nation's top technology training program; by a national magazine as one of 7 solutions to the nation's inner-city economic problems; by a national urban housing association for its National Excellence Award and by a local newspaper as one of its 5 featured teachers of the year. He is also the architect of Oakland's Business Assistance Center and his concepts on small business were used in part by the Hillary Clinton presidential campaign in 2008 as part of her small business policy.
His primary startups were in the High Tech Industry working out of SOMA in San Francisco just as the technology sector became an economic force.
In 1995, he sold one of his companies and switched his focus to working in the non-profit sector, first training inner city residents in high tech skills and three years later, dedicating his time to entrepreneurship research, curriculum development and teaching. His target students are those with financial hardships seeking entrepreneurial rights. Students are thrown into the Octagon for hands-on challenges striving to gain the knowledge for financial security.Check Out Boku's Recommended Reading 2017
About Urban FIRE
Urban FIRE (Financial Intelligence, Responsible Entrepreneurship) was conceived by outliers as a survival tool for those living in the neglected areas of the inner city. From these beginnings, the foremost guiding principle was to build self-directed, self-determined, self-managed individuals - graduating from survival mode to self-employed.
Over the next two decades, Urban FIRE elevated itself through research on business and human performance coming from Carnegie-Mellon, Harvard, Stanford and UC Berkeley. These findings were combined with real life entrepreneurial experiences spanning three decades.
The result is a training program equipping its graduates with the tools to launch businesses and venture into the Gig Economy - prepared to take on the obvious challenges and the not-so-obvious unknown.
Our Partners — Enhancing the Experience
Urban FIRE succeeds for our students because of our community partners. Their expertise and connections work hand-in-hand with our training to produce some of the best results for our graduates. These results include advisory networks, joint ventures, referrals, peer-to-peer activities, event inclusion, financial aid and on-going education.
At the forefront are the Renaissance Entrepreneurship Center and the Oakland Housing Authority, both providing financial, physical and personnel assistance and management. Their leadership has injected a level of management that is unmatched.
Also working alongside is Kiva Oakland, the Oakland Business Assistance Center and CAMEO (California Association of Micro Enterprise Opportunities).

Lead Capture
QuikLead™ is Lead Capture software based on our ID software for sales/marketing efforts. It runs on the IDVisor Z22 Mobile or Windows Mobile Handheld hardware. It rapidly captures name/address information from a drivers license and then allows an operator to enter additional contact data (email/phone) plus specific notes such as product interest, buying timeline, follow up action, etc. Clients use these Lead Capture scanners at trade shows, concerts and events and have found them vastly superior to paper based solutions. This solution is 100% electronic so the information is available immediately after the event plus the contact information is far more accurate than paper based solutions.
Here is a video of QuikLead™ Lead Capture software used by Geico running on Windows Mobile Handheld. It captures information from drivers license and then allows operator to enter phone, email and ask a series of questions of interest to Geico. We can customize it for your needs. Give us a call.
Shown below is a version of QuikLead™ software with an iPod / iPhone like keyboard for easy entry with a stylus or finger. This example shows the top of the form completed with a scan of a drivers license, followed by email domain selection via a pull down menu and user name entry via finger keyboard.
Shown below is the standard main screen of QuikLead™ running on Palm Hardware. A scan of the license fills out the name/address/city/state/zip fields.
An operator then asks for email, phone and other information which is keyed in to the appropriate fields using either the pop-up keyboard (shown below) or handwriting recognition software that is standard on the Palm computer. Several common email addresses are available in a pop-up menu.
Once all the data is entered, the Submit button saves the data to the MemoPad (shown below) and at the end of an event, this data is Hotsynced via USB to a PC and exported to a Comma Value Separated file which is Excel compatible. (The software also transfers the data to a MAC but the export to an Excel file is a bit more complex).
Note: The main screen can be modified to suite specific client requests. Items such as pull down menus, check boxes and text input fields can be requested. Each customer request is unique and we typically charge a day of consulting to understand, specify and create software to suite a particular client need.
For questions, give us a call.

The Dhammapada
The DhammapadaStyle: BK19
Dhammapada translated by Eknath Easwaran
As irrigators guide water to their fields, as archers aim arrows, as carpenters carve wood, the wise shape their lives.
Dhammapada (145)
Dhammapada means the path of dharma, the path of truth, harmony, and righteousness. Capturing the living words of the Buddha, this much-loved scripture consists of verses organized by theme: thought, joy, anger, pleasure, and others.
The Dhammapada is permeated with the power and practicality of one of the world's most appealing spiritual teachers. Rejecting superstition on the one hand and philosophical speculation on the other, the Buddha taught the path to the end of suffering and showed how we can achieve lasting joy. He spells out our choices with a refreshing realism and frankness. And he insists that we be spiritually self-eliant: All the effort must be made by you. Buddhas only point the way.
Easwaran believed that we need nothing more than the Dhammapada to follow the way of the Buddha. His main qualification for interpreting the Dhammapada, he said, was that he knew from his own experience that these verses can transform our lives.
- Easwaran's introduction gives a complete overview of the Buddha's core teachings, illustrating them with contemporary references. A master storyteller, Easwaran brings vividly to life Prince Siddhartha's spiritual quest and his transformation into the great teacher known as the Buddha. Perfect for first-time readers, with intriguing new insights for those familiar with this text.
- This translation is reliable, accessible, and elegant. The Dhammapada was originally written in Pali, a language derived from Sanskrit, which Easwaran studied from an early age. Easwaran's rendering has an expressive brilliance acquired through many years of immersion in English literature.
- Chapter introductions explain key terms and place individual verses into the context of the broader Buddhist canon for readers of all levels. A glossary and chapter notes are also included.
- This latest edition contains a new foreword, elegant new cover, and easy-to-read, two-color interior.
Easwaran's translation is accessible, reliable, and poetic. The introductions includes an explanation of the cultural background, the key concepts underlying each text, and above all, Easwaran's insights into how we can apply the spiritual message to our own lives, right now. purpose of these contrasts is, very simply, to describe the difference between what leads to desirable outcomes and what does not.

Posted 3 years ago
Huawei will be releasing a dual OS smartphone within the next few months.
In an interview, Huawei's Shao Yang, Huawei's Chief Marketing Officer said "We are still committed to making Windows Phone devices. Compared with Android, the priority of Windows Phone is much lower but is still one of our choices of OS. We are definitely using a multi OS strategy. With Windows Phone, one direction for us – and one that we are now following – is dual OS. Dual OS as in Android and Windows together. If it is Windows only, maybe people will not find it as easy a decision to buy the phone. If they have the Android and Windows together, you can change it as you wish and it is much easier for people to choose Windows Phone. We think the dual OS can be a new choice for the consumer. It will be on sale in the US in Q2. We are definitely looking at other platforms," Yang said. "For any new operating system we are open to. We need to watch every OS."

Only need account for 5 months per year - what options do I have?Asked by Nick Pisias on February 23, 2017 at 01:49 PM
I am a member of a not for profit AKC dog club that holds outdoor field events for all dogs during the months of May to October. I have a free account now but the limit of 100 forms per month will not work for our two larger events in June and October. At present the only option seems to be to upgrade to a $19/month account. Since we are on a very limited budget is there an option for accounts that are only needed for a few months in the year????

Unified Development Ordinance
The City of Manhattan has contracted with Kendig Keast Collaborative to write a unified development ordinance (UDO). A UDO is a regulatory tool that integrates existing zoning regulations, subdivision regulations and other applicable regulations and design guidelines for land use and development in Manhattan.
Unified Development Ordinance website
Zoning map
The goal of the project is to implement recommendations identified in the Manhattan Urban Area Comprehensive Plan, identify opportunities to streamline the development review and approval process, create development regulations that use best practices for the economic, social and political climate today and in the future, and more. Stakeholders will be involved through an open, fair and equitable process that focuses on community engagement and creates support for the final product. Graphics and Internet/mobile-based platforms and implementation approaches will make the UDO more user-friendly, searchable and easier to understand for citizens, businesses and property owners, consultants, and developers.
White & Smith LLC, Gateway Planning Group and Confluence will assist Kendig Keast Collaborative on the project, which is expected to be in development through 2018.
