Rethinking Retirement
How are the world's new Perennials changing popular notions of what it means to be old?
By Henrietta Thompson
As brands grow up with their aging demographic, and a new generation of later lifers make their demands heard, there's no better time to be a septo-octo- or nonagenarian, and beyond…
In 2002 the Economist ran an impactful story, 'Over 60 and overlooked', in which it wondered why the commercial world was so 'obsessed with youth'. Now, almost 15 years later, it looks like we may finally be rounding that corner. Not only are the old stereotypes surrounding old age on their way out, but businesses are advancing their offering to better suit those of advancing years too. The message is clear: Move over Millennials, the future belongs to those with the spending power: we are witnessing the rise of the Perennials.
Though there are exceptions, today's working age youth are famously the first generation that is set to be worse off financially than their parents. Meanwhile humans are living longer than ever before. A baby born in 2016 can expect to live to around 80 (male) or 83 (female) - far longer lives than their ancestors – and meanwhile our later life stages are fitter and healthier than ever.
It's a shift that's been a long time coming, with advertisers struggling to find the right language. While it's been very clear that the world's population has been growing older, greyer and significantly richer than ever before, marketers' messaging has focused on denial and discretion. Fifty has been the new forty for a decade, after all.
Auriens, set to open in 2019 in Chelsea is a chic luxury development of residences for 'later lifers'. Other locations (New York, LA etc) will soon follow across the world. Placing excellent design on a par with next level attention – everything is top of the range, and that has also meant reconsidering the language they use around later life. Here you won't find sensitive talk of end-of-life care or patronising 'assisted living'. While the medical attention and technology is best-in-class, at Auriens "vintage vitality" is something to aspire to, and charm, wit, style and entertainment are prioritised. There will be a cocktail bar at Auriens, and it'll be called 'Zimmer'. If Bugatti made starlifts and Aston Martin made mobility scooters, this is where you'd find them – in the heart of London's busiest shopping district with culture on tap.
The 21st century's silver surfers are not in the market for cruise holidays, elasticated waists and beige hearing aids, says Johnny Sandleson, Auriens' cofounder. Not for them the doomed domesticity of a care home. "Our customers have grown to have higher expectations from a lifestyle, and that doesn't stop suddenly with another candle on the cake. Cash rich, time rich, and often still very fit – the baby boomer generation make life look like something to aspire to."
Luxury "retirement villages" are booming around the world. Also in London Battersea Place is an ageful community complete with concierge service, spa, heated indoor pool, gym, billiard room, private cinema. The price of a home is £1m (plus membership fees) and up, part of which of course covers the on-site nursing staff, full-time care manager and 24hr care on demand.
It would not be surprising if global hospitality chains and luxury members clubs soon began expanding their offering to retirement retreats too. What would growing old look like courtesy of a brand like the Soho House Group or Aman Resorts? Certainly the term "infinity pool" starts to take on a whole new meaning… Of course if they do, there would be worse places to launch than Switzerland, the country consistently ranks top in the Global Retirement Index (GRI) for its high quality of life.
To those with an eye on the "grey pound" (and seeing sterling silver) it is also vital to realise that tomorrow's swelling population of septo-octo-nonagenarians (and beyond) are very different from today's. Not only are they likely to be more discerning than ever, but even the very notion of retirement is due a rethink.
London Business School professors Lynda Gratton and Andrew Scott point out in their new book, "The 100-Year Life: Living and Working in an Age of Longevity" that instead of the three stages of education-work-retirement, we may soon be living seven or eight stages. Just as teenagers were "created" in the 20th century with mass education, and the gap between childhood and working, so longer lives will create new life stages.
In this new era of longer lives, the answers are changing dramatically to questions which previously were obvious, such as: what's the best age to have children? When should I retire? When should I settle down? Thanks to technologies such as egg-freezing and better medicine there's not so much of a rush. According to cultural commentator Catherine Mayer, we are actually an age of "amortality" when people live agelessly. In the near future people "will rarely ask themselves if their behaviour is age appropriate because that concept has little meaning for them".
The Age of No Retirement is an organisation and network with a simple goal: To create a world where age does not matter. Inspired by Dr Jonathan Collie and Georgina Lee as a result of their collaboration on Trading Times, an award-winning social enterprise that connects skilled over 50s with local employers for the purposes of flexible, part-time paid work, the Age of No Retirement was set up as a campaign to help break down age barriers and stereotypes in the workplace. "From technology to health; from education to architecture; from work to leisure, we are embracing intergenerational collaboration and thinking – to create new products, new services, new campaigns, new mindsets, new rules and new behaviours," they say. It's time to challenge the narrative of division and difference and create a new age of unity and hope where our age, younger or older, does not matter. "We have opportunities to develop lifestyles in 'retirement' unknown and beyond belief to those living in the 19th and early 20th centuries." Nobody ought to need bifocals to see that.

The humidity is low, and the summer afternoon rainstorms are a thing of the past. It will be, if it's a normal year, mostly dry until April, now. It's called Chamber of Commerce weather, and the snowbirds flock down from the starting-to-freeze north.

Sitefinity can store the contents of images in the database or as physical files on the hard drive. However it only stores the original image. You can inherit from OpenAccessLibrariesProvider and override its protected virtual void UploadImage(Image image, Stream source, string mimeType) method, where you can use this library and resize the image in the Stream accordingly.
Hi Rich,
Not sure if you managed to get this to work, or just having problems with uploading images.
At this moment I'm also trying to come up with a way to use the ImageResizer with the default Sitefinity providers.
For now you can make use of the ImageResizer by creating your own provider. When you create a library that uses this provider, the images are stored on disk, so the ImageResizer can actually do it's thing. I have this working and was planning to blog about it.
I can post the instructions later today. In the mean time I really want this to work also with the default providers, but I'm still working on this.
Make Sitefinity work best for you.

A computer at a remote site boots and logs on very slowly (about 10 minutes each for boot and logon). He's on DSL & connects to us via VPN (ASA5505). We have about 30 other users around the country with the same setup, and they work fine- no one else has, or has had, this problem. He was using this equipment (laptop, ASA, docking station) before he moved, and it worked just fine then. To rule out hardware problems in the move, I gave him a replacement ASA5505, and the same problem occurs.
When he connects directly to his modem, his laptop boots quickly and the internet connection is fine. When he goes through the ASA, after it goes through the long boot and login times, I can VNC his computer fine, with very little latency in clicking around. Once he's on, he can access the network files in good time, but Exchange times out, so Outlook locally is unusable.
Currently, he just connects directly to his ISP's modem and gets on to Citrix via the web client. While that works, it's not the true solution to his and our needs for a proper connection.
Thank you for any direction.

When he plugged into the computer directly from the modem vs going through the router, was the same cable used? Cables are cheap. It might be bad.
Oct 4, 2010 at 12:11 UTC
Are you running a GPO that might cause issues?
Check event viewer to see what the issue is.

Thanks for the suggestion. I had checked that -- all cables are good.

Have you checked his machine's DNS setup to verify it is pointing to the correct server(s)?
Oct 6, 2010 at 10:04 UTC
I checked Group Policy as you suggested. He doesn't have anything 1. different than anyone else in his group has, and 2. different than what he had before he moved.
As for the Event Viewer, I will have to wait until he's back in his office.
Nov 1, 2010 at 8:01 UTC
After some more testing, it appears that it's something with his ISP. Nothing in the Event or System logs. The log for Desktop Authority shows that DA hangs for a long time at a couple points, but it doesn't led me to anything. During testing here in the office with an ASA and a DSL modem, it works fine.
As I'm writing, the gentleman called. He's going with a new ISP for several reasons, so he will let me know how it goes.

Marshall was born on June 16, 1939 in Detroit, MI, to his parents Martin and Esther Berman. He was valedictorian of his high school class and graduated with a B.S. with Distinction in Physics from the University of Michigan. He went on to receive his Ph.D. in Nuclear Physics from Wayne State University.
In 1966, Marshall married Nancy Thomadsen and shortly thereafter moved to Albuquerque, NM, after accepting a position at Sandia National Laboratories where he worked for 32 years on nuclear reactor safety, managed a variety of defense research projects, and served as Executive Director of the Innovation Initiative for the U.S. Council on Competitiveness. He raised his family in Albuquerque and enjoyed excelling in hobbies including photography, landscaping, and woodworking.
As Marshall neared retirement at Sandia, he was elected to the New Mexico State Board of Education and served on the board for four years. He was passionate about changing science education standards for the children of the State of New Mexico and went on to be the founding president of the Coalition for Excellence in Science and Math Education (CESE), devoting his time to help ensure the integrity of New Mexico's education system. He was also an early and active member of New Mexicans for Science and Reason and served a term as president of the New Mexico Academy of Science.
A memorial service will be held Saturday December 12, 2015, at 1:00pm at the First Unitarian Church (3701 Carlisle Blvd NE, Albuquerque, NM 87110). All are welcome to attend and celebrate Dr. Berman's life (please RSVP here).

Another New Beacon Already?!?
That's right, there's another brand-new edition of the CESE Beacon!
The February 2015 Beacon (Vol. XVIII, No. 2) is online.

CESE and NMSR are Sponsoring a lecture by Dr. Michael Shermer
The Coalition for Excellence in Science and Math Education (CESE) and New Mexicans for Science and Reason (NMSR) are pleased to sponsor a lecture by Dr. Michael Shermer on Saturday, February 21st, 2015, 1:30PM, at the First Unitarian Church, 3701 Carlisle Boulevard Northeast, Albuquerque, NM 87110.
Dr. Shermer will be signing copies of his new book, "The Moral Arc of Science - How Science Has Bent the Arc of the Moral Universe Toward Truth, Justice, Freedom, & Prosperity."
The arc of the moral universe bends toward truth, justice, freedom, and prosperity thanks to science-the type of thinking that involves reason, rationality, empiricism, and skepticism. The Scientific Revolution led by Copernicus, Galileo, and Newton was so world-changing that thinkers in other fields consciously aimed at revolutionizing the social, political, and economic worlds using the same methods of science. This led to the Age of Reason and the Enlightenment, which in turn created the modern secular world of democracies, rights, justice, and liberty.
About the Speaker
Dr. Michael Shermer is the Founding Publisher of Skeptic magazine and editor of Skeptic.com, a monthly columnist for Scientific American, and an Adjunct Professor at Claremont Graduate University and Chapman University. Dr. Shermer's latest book is The Believing Brain: From Ghosts and Gods to Politics and Conspiracies-How We Construct Beliefs and Reinforce Them as Truths. His last book was The Mind of the Market, on evolutionary economics. He also wrote Why Darwin Matters: Evolution and the Case Against Intelligent Design, and he is the author of The Science of Good and Evil and of Why People Believe Weird Things. Dr. Shermer received his B.A. in psychology from Pepperdine University, M.A. in experimental psychology from California State University, Fullerton, and his Ph.D. in the history of science from Claremont Graduate University (1991). He was a college professor for 20 years, and since his creation of Skeptic magazine he has appeared on such shows as The Colbert Report, 20/20, Dateline, Charlie Rose, and Larry King Live (but, proudly, never Jerry Springer!). Dr. Shermer was the co-host and co-producer of the 13-hour Family Channel television series, Exploring the Unknown.

The sordid staining of Camelot
When the first accounts started seeping out decades ago about United States president John F Kennedy's philandering, they scarcely seemed credible.
The world had unquestioningly bought into the fairytale portrayal of the White House during the Kennedy years as a latter-day Camelot occupied by a dashing, charismatic young president, his coolly elegant wife and their photogenic children.
It was an era when a respectful news media didn't pry into the private lives of politicians, least of all the president. It was only after Richard Nixon and the disgrace of Watergate that American journalists decided presidents could be deeply flawed human beings, like the rest of us, and no longer entitled to be immune from scrutiny.
Coincidentally, it was at about that same time that the media began carrying accounts of JFK's clandestine love life. These stories were so much at odds with his popular image as the devoted Catholic husband and father that at first, many people were inclined to dismiss them as scurrilous libels.
But as the reports multiplied, the truth about Kennedy's compulsive philandering became impossible to ignore.
It was common knowledge among Kennedy's aides and Secret Service minders that he had a ravenous sexual appetite. Marilyn Monroe and Judith Exner, the mistress of Mafia boss Sam Giancana, were supposedly among his conquests.
All this information trickled out in instalments long after Kennedy's death as his former associates came forward with stories of his dalliances.
Yet even after all that, the recently published memoirs of one Mimi Alford provide an astonishing new insight into Kennedy's predatory behaviour.
Alford was recruited from an exclusive Boston girls' school to work as an intern at the White House in 1962.
Just 19, she was a virgin, but she wasn't to remain one for long. Kennedy had sex with her on her fourth day in the job.
It happened in Jackie Kennedy's bedroom after Kennedy offered to show Alford around the White House. Judging by her account, it was perilously close to rape: she didn't resist, but neither was she given much opportunity to consent.
Perhaps the most striking thing about this encounter, if it happened as Alford describes, is the sheer, brazen audacity of it.
Clearly, Kennedy was supremely confident that he could force himself, in effect, on a vulnerable young woman – and in his wife's bedroom – and get away with it.
That to me suggests not just a rampant sexual appetite (Kennedy reportedly once told British prime minister Harold McMillan that he suffered headaches if he went without sex), but massive hubris and a huge sense of entitlement. This may have been the product of his upbringing in a wealthy, privileged household headed by a father infamous for his ruthlessness, greed and ambition.
The other significant aspect of the incident in Jackie Kennedy's boudoir is that it seems to have been immaterial to Kennedy whether his partner got any pleasure from the sexual act. That's consistent with my amateur psychologist's theory that he simply felt entitled to take whatever he wanted.
Interestingly, JFK's nephew Christopher Kennedy Lawford, interviewed at the weekend by Kim Hill (though not in connection with Alford's disclosures), referred to that generation of Kennedy men as being misogynists – haters of women. Certainly the record indicates they cynically used the women in their lives.
To be fair, Alford's account shows that she subsequently entered willingly into a continuing sexual relationship with Kennedy. Not surprisingly, she was hugely flattered by the attention of the most powerful man on Earth.
A peculiar aspect of the affair was that he never kissed her, which seems to suggest (I'm playing the amateur psychologist again here) a fear of emotional intimacy. I mean, how can anyone carry on a sexual relationship without kissing? It doesn't seem natural.
Alford also saw a much darker side to Kennedy's personality when he prompted her to give oral sex to his loyal aide Dave Powers when the three were together in the White House swimming pool.
Again, you get a sense here of a manipulative man enjoying his power over others. Alford called it callous and unforgivable.
Kennedy later tried to persuade her to do the same with his younger brother, Ted, but by that time she had the confidence to refuse.
That Alford fell under Kennedy's spell is hardly surprising. Powerful men have always attracted women. Henry Kissinger, an adviser to Nixon, famously described power as the ultimate aphrodisiac.
In the case of Kennedy, it wasn't just power that made him attractive, but good looks and the force of his personality as well.
The picture Alford paints of Kennedy adds yet another dimension to one of the most complex personalities of the 20th century.
It's a tale that can only further stain his already tarnished image.

The Sasquatch Escape (Hardcover)
Staff Reviews
Ben Silverstein's parents are having problems, serious problems. Rather than have him living in a home filled with tension and fighting, they have sent Ben to live with his grandfather in Buttonville for the summer. Ben is sure this is going to be the most boring summer on record. With the button factory being closed down, most of everything around town is closed as well and most of the families left as well to find work, leaving behind an empty factory, retired factory workers (like his grandfather) and a very small main street.
Boredom gives way when his Grandfather's mouser comes back to the house with an unexpected surprise/victim in her mouth, a baby dragon. Unfortunately the baby dragon is hurt, and the only vet in town is the mysterious Dr. Woo, who has just taken over the old button factory, and claims only to treat worms.
Enlisting the town's troublemaker, Pearl, for assistance, Ben seeks out Dr. Woo to help with their hurt dragon. Things take an unexpected turn when they discover the worm hospital is a cover for their real veterinary clientele, imaginary creatures, like dragons. However things go even more awry (and possibly disastrous) when Ben leaves the front door of the worm hospital unlocked and a Sasquatch escapes into Buttonville. Now it is up to our dynamic duo to lure him back to where he belongs, before he is seen…..
This was a fast paced, clever adventure filled with great people and funny situations. It never dragged or felt over the top (as some fantasy-ish books can feel). There are wonderful illustrations which add a whole new level to this story. The book is split into smallish chapters, which help give it a bite-size feel. If you have a kid who is hesitant to read a bigger book, this feature will help them overcome this fear.
This is just a well written and fun book, which I thoroughly enjoyed reading. I would recommend this without hesitation to any boy (or open minded girl since Pearl is a great character) between 7 and 12 years.— Amber
When Ben Silverstein is sent to the rundown town of Buttonville to spend the summer with his grandfather, he's certain it will be the most boring vacation ever. That is, until his grandfather's cat brings home what looks like . . . a baby dragon?
Amazed, Ben enlists the help of Pearl Petal, a local girl with an eye for adventure. They take the wounded dragon to the only veterinarian's office in town -- Dr. Woo's Worm Hospital. But as Ben and Pearl discover once they are inside, Dr. Woo's isn't a worm hospital at all -- it's actually a secret hospital for imaginary creatures.
After Ben accidentally leaves the hospital's front door unlocked, a rather large, rather stinky, andvery hairy beast escapes into Buttonville. Ben and Pearl are tasked with retrieving the runaway creature, and what started out as an ordinary summer becomes the story of a lifetime.
Suzanne Selfors delivers a wild journey filled with mythical creatures and zany adventures that are anything but imaginary.
This book includes bonus writing, art, and science activities that will help readers discover more about the mythological creatures featured in The Sasquatch Escape. These activities are designed for the home and the classroom. Enjoy doing them on your own or with friends

The best way to understand Montessori is to see it in action. The second best way is probably to see a video of Montessori in action. This video gives a good overview of the Montessori Method and a glimpse into Montessori in the UK. The video is called Discovering Montessori with Tana Ramsay. A notable quote is when Tana Ramsay says:
Montessori is a way of life as much as it's a way of education, and it doesn't just start when the child is old enough to go to nursery school.

I highly recommend these guys first class work and an excellent team. On time as promised and very respectful in all ways.
I rarely leave feedback on these forums, but these guys really deserve it. Our kitchen tiling and painting was done to an excellent standard. Our decorator put dust sheets on everything, taped up areas so nothing was painted that shouldn't have been. He hoovered, and placed everything back that he'd moved at the end of each day. He even sent us photos of progress! Would highly recommend and be happy to ask them to come back in the future. Thank you!
Sisi Property Ltd came to tile my shower at the drop of hat. First impressions were that they seemed a little slow, it quickly became apparent that they were in fact perfectionists.The end result was genuinely outstanding and I am delighted with their work. True craftsmen.They took their time because they were meticulous; not slow.The job manager was excellent, polite and friendly; and while the tilers were brilliant, I'd suggest John learns 'hello', 'thank you' and how to crack a smile though ;)

Doctors appointment today
We had our 17 week check up with the mid wife, Luke finally got to hear the babies heart beat! About 155 bpm. I haven't gained any weight and my blood work from last appointment came out great. We have our appointment for the gender reveal in 3 weeks! She took a stab in the dark and guessed it might be a girl... that is what everyone is guessing!
I forget what it was exactly.. but something about girls having a more rapid heartbeat.. or the other way around.. either way.. it was right both ways for me.. google it :)
Yup, I'd say girl based on heart rate. Can we place bets? Winning side (blue or pink) gets bragging rights?
How are you feeling?
How are you feeling?
She said they dont have any studies to prove it, but the girls have hire hr and boys have lower. I love making bets, I say girl! Feeling great today, I went to curves and did a good 30 minute work out, the lady might hire me as well! I think things are starting to look up!
Oh I had a friend who worked at Curves, she loved it! That would be a fun position to get. :)
Yeah, it would be great. I didn't think I would like it at first but they have zumba and other cardio work outs... PLUS they have a squat machine which is great because my butt has been getting a little wide lately!
Girl is my guess!

Enter for a Chance to Win Dust Bowl GirlsMarch 7, 2017 • No Comments • category: Algonquin Books Blog, Giveaway
In honor of International Women's Day, we're offering you a chance to win a copy of Lydia Reeder's new book, Dust Bowl Girls: The Inspiring Story of the Team That Barnstormed Its Way to Basketball Glory.
At the height of the Great Depression, Sam Babb, the charismatic basketball coach of tiny Oklahoma Presbyterian College, began dreaming. Like so many others, he wanted a reason to have hope. Traveling from farm to farm, he recruited talented, hardworking young women and offered them a chance at a better life: a free college education if they would come play for his basketball team, the Cardinals.
Despite their fears of leaving home and the sacrifices faced by their families, the women followed Babb and his dream. He shaped the Cardinals into a formidable team, and something extraordinary began to happen: with passion for the sport and heartfelt loyalty to one another and their coach, they won every game.
For author Lydia Reeder, this is a family story: coach Sam Babb is her great-uncle. When her grandmother handed her a worn, yellowed folder that contained newspaper articles, letters, and photographs of Sam and the Cardinals, she said, "You might want to tell their story someday." Now, with extensive research and the gathered memories of the surviving Cardinals, she has.
Combining exhilarating sports writing and exceptional storytelling, Dust Bowl Girls conveys the intensity of an improbable journey to an epic showdown with the prevailing national champions, led by the legendary Babe Didrikson. It captures a moment in American sports history when a visionary coach helped his young athletes achieve more than a winning season.
Please fill out this form to enter for a chance to win a copy of Dust Bowl Girls by Lydia Reeder. Entries must be received by 12pm Eastern, Monday, March 20, 2017. One entry per person only. The winners will be chosen at random. Residents of the United States only, please.

You never know when disaster might strike, and if it happens to your business, it could undo everything you've worked hard for. Anything from a freak accident to a severe storm could close your once successful business for good if you're not well-prepared.
"FEMA [the Federal Emergency Management Agency] estimates that as many as 40 percent of businesses affected by disasters never reopen," said Curtis Peterson, vice president of operations at cloud communications platform RingCentral. "While extensive property damage may be the culprit in many cases, lack of proper planning for intangibles is also often at fault."
To make sure you're prepared for the worst, Peterson shared his tips for creating your business's disaster plan. Here are six things you need to do to weather any storm.
1. Have a solid communications plan. During an emergency situation, communication is key. You need to be able to tell your employees what's going on and how to handle it, so creating a plan in advance is important.
"The plan should identify several functional leads — individuals who make decisions and deploy the plan — along with specific communication channels and protocols," Peterson said. "A good plan outlines exactly when and how employees will be notified."
This could include having an 800-number for employees to call for instructions, Peterson said. You might also align your business with a local school district so that if your employees see that school is closed for weather-related reasons on the news, they don't have to come in, he added.
"Whatever means you choose, the platform itself must be resilient to outage, or have a backup plan," Peterson said.
2. Protect your assets. Even something as simple as a power outage could compromise the security of your building and your important data, Peterson noted. To avoid this, he advised creating a plan that doesn't rely on solutions located on-premise. [5 Steps to Prevent Data Loss When Disaster Hits ]
"Cloud services can help here by providing a reliable, survivable off-site solution to data access and security and communications continuity," Peterson said.
3. Know when to close or stay open. This goes beyond just making a spur of the moment decision. Peterson advised establishing a formula in advance.
Some situations may be no-brainers, like a widespread weather disaster or immediate local terrorist situation, in which the obvious decision is to close. However, if you plan in advance, you may be able to relocate.
"Decide which scenarios will warrant a closure and how you will respond to customers' needs during the downtime," Peterson said. "For a call center or any business with multiple locations, reroute calls to other locations to ensure customers aren't left hanging."
4. Have a plan for helping others. Even during a disaster, there's a chance for your business to thrive, or even help others in need, if you plan accordingly. While Peterson said you shouldn't take advantage of disaster victims by any means, a disaster can work in your favor in certain situations.
"For example, maybe your restaurant has been affected by a community-wide blackout, but you still have good access to ingredients [and] supplies, along with chefs and other staff who are willing to do what's needed to help your neighbors," Peterson said. "Setting up a mobile site in another facility can provide much-needed meals to residents who would otherwise struggle to feed their families under the circumstances."
Peterson also pointed out that disasters are important times for insurance companies. This is when customers need you the most, so if you have a plan in place and can handle even the toughest situations well, it will pay off.
"People will remember how you came to their aid in a tough situation," Peterson said.
5. Watch out for little things. Contrary to popular advice, Peterson said you should sweat the small stuff. Of course, it's important to plan for the worst, but even little things can spell disaster, Peterson noted.
Things like power outages, local school emergencies (in which your employees may need to rush to pick up their children) or ISP router failure can actually be devastating to a small business.
"Having a plan of action for these short-term molehills can keep them from turning into insurmountable mountains," Peterson said.
6. Practice your plan. Having a plan of action is an important first step, but practicing that plan is just as important. That way, you can make sure your employees are on the same page and that, in the event of an emergency, everything will run as smoothly as possible.
"Just like the fire drills you probably remember from elementary school, it takes practice to know what to do, especially in a stressful situation," Peterson said.
He also noted that practicing your disaster plan requires you to have the resources and technology in place to activate your plan on the fly without disrupting the entire business.
"If you've planned properly and thoroughly," Peterson said, "the plan should run smoothly and seamlessly both in practice and when it counts."

We are about to see the next-gen Microsoft Surface very soon. The Redmond company's event in New York City is about to get underway soon and we will be bringing you the latest from the event.
While we have very little information about the Surface 2 and the Surface Pro 2, we do know that they will be running the very latest version of Windows. The Surface Pro 2 is expected to run Windows 8.1 out of the box. The x86 systems will most likely ship with Intel's Haswell series of processors and are expected to come with much-improved battery life. Microsoft will be hoping that the new Surface tablets will stoke interest in the range once again despite lacklustre sales of the existing models. The company shipped about a million tablets in the first three months of 2013, according to research firm IDC, a paltry figure compared to the overall market.
We have an interactive live blog here today and we'll be bringing you tweets and pictures from the event too. Look out for fun polls. So let's get started.

And, since this blog has now replaced my handwritten journal, you all will have to bear with me (and my photos) as I write this for my kids so they won't forget the details.
The big event of the weekend was The Wedding.
Our niece was getting married on Saturday, and since all three girls were in the wedding, we headed down early Friday to get ready.
Nails needed to be painted.
While they were getting beautified, my mother-in-love and I went on a coffee date.
The rehearsal was that afternoon.
The wedding party barely fit up in that space.
We then headed to the W's house for the rehearsal dinner.
Some people cannot take a serious photo. Ah well, after 21 years in this family I am used to it.
Bros and bros in laws.
The dessert table was amazing.
Funny story - the grooms' family lives up in our area. Come to find out, they do 4-H too and are involved with FFA. A couple of years ago my girls went up to them at our county fair and asked them to look at our animals for auction, long before we knew they would become family!
Some of the cousins.
That night we all headed to the hotel. The wedding was at 11:30 the next morning and all of the girls had to be getting their hair done and everything ready at 7:30 am.
We had the evening to kill so we had a cousin party. First, we all got our swimming suits on because we thought there would be a pool here.
Wouldn't ya think that too?
No pool, only a measly spa that would have barely fit the kids, and it was closed.
We were sad....
but only for a minute, since we decided to raid the exercise room.
Muscling it up for the mirror.
Back in our room we hung out,
made animal balloons,
and watched the Olympics while munching on popcorn and potato chips.
Next morning we were running around like crazy people, getting dressed, hair done, make-up, figuring out cuff links and suspenders on the boys......so no photos.
Out the door by 9am.
All of the Auntie's were helping coordinate things with the ceremony and reception so we set up name places, the gift table, and got everything in order.
Pretty Princesses.
Beautiful Young Ladies.
All too soon the ceremony started, in the garden at La Foret.
Caleb and Tori were married by her grandfather. He did an excellent job and only faltered slightly at the end. We all cried at that point.
Mr. & Mrs. K!
The reception was indoors at the restaurant.
The kids had a special table all to themselves.
With so many different fun thing to do! Auntie L did an amazing job with this table, and put things at each child's spot that was specific to them and their interests. And to make it even more fun there were 20+ hidden Mickey's around the room (some were hidden on clothing of certain guests) that they had to find.
My dinner plate.
There were toasts, good food, wine, and cake.
And dancing.
All of the Auntie's in two photos since it was too hard during the party to get us all in one photo.
One very cool thing that happened - I met up and got photos with both of the flower girls that were in my wedding.
My flower girls were the little ones on the left.
Tori is the littlest:
And cousin Molly was my other flower girl. Time flies!
That evening we all hung out, recovered, and had pizza for dinner.
The next day all of the family headed to the San Francisco Giants game.
We got there early, so the kids did the big slides,
and checked out the Lego baseball creations.
This is such a beautiful ballpark!
We counted and there were 22 of us here.
Our group minus a few that had to leave in the 7th inning to drive home.
Sadly the Giants lost.
But to make up for it, as we were leaving an usher told us that they were letting the kids run the bases.
It was really cool to be on the field!
They also handed out See's Candy lollipops. Which makes everything better.
Finally, our last day.
We were with the other side of the family - my family, and decided to go to the beach.
We headed north and to Pomponio State Beach.
There was wave splashing.
Massive hole digging (which we filled back up before we left),
and some crab watching.
There was actually quite a bit of wildlife there that day, which is unusual for this time of year. We saw whales, dolphins, sea otters, and quite a few crabs like the one above.
The gang, hanging in the sand.
I am thankful for our extended family, for their hospitality and for such a wonderful time!

Nutrient Leaching following Land Application of Aerobically Digested Municipal Sewage Sludge in a Northern Hardwood Forest
- L. Medalie,
- W. B. Bowden * and
- C. T. Smith
Concentrations of selected cations and anions were determined in soil solutions from a forested site in southern New Hampshire during the first growing season after surface application of an aerobically-digested, limed, liquid municipal sludge. Sludge was applied in June 1989 at 0, 3.3, 6.9, and 14.5 Mg ha−1, which corresponded to 199, 396, and 740 kg N ha−1 as total Kjeldahl N (TKN). Porous, suction-cup lysimeters were used to sample soil solutions below the rooting zone (≈60cm) within subplots designed to include (untrenched) exclude (trenched) uptake by vegetation. Following sludge application, measured solute concentrations remained low until September 1989, when NO3, Cl, Ca, Mg, Na, and K in trenched subplots increased simultaneously to maximum values in October or November 1989, just before the soil froze for the winter. Nitrate was the dominant anion in soil solutions from trenched subplots and averaged in excess of 0.71 mmol L−1 (10 mg L−1 NO3-N) at all loading rates. Highest concentrations of NO3 occurred on subplots with the highest sludge application rates. In the untrenched areas, NO3 concentrations rarely exceeded 0.001 mmol L−1; Cl increased in treated areas and was the dominant anion by the end of the season. Soil solution NH4, PO4, SO4, K, and pH did not change significantly for any sludge application rate. Comparison of results from trenched and untrenched areas suggests that, at application rates of up to 14.5 Mg ha−1 (799 kg TKN ha−1), a combination of physical, chemical, and biological factors (most likely plant uptake) limited the movement of sludge or sludge-derived constituents from the sites of application.

Two summers ago, U.S. defence secretary Leon Panetta pronounced that his country was "in reach of strategically defeating al-Qaeda." On the first anniversary of the killing of Osama bin Laden, President Barack Obama declared that "the goal I set – to defeat al-Qaeda and deny it a chance to rebuild – is now within our reach."
Not quite, apparently. The recent temporary closing of U.S. embassies throughout the Middle East suggests that the al-Qaeda threat remains alive. Although the U.S. State Department has stated that the organization is "on a path of decline that will be difficult to reverse," the embassy closings suggest such statements to be premature, at the very least.
Just how serious is the al-Qaeda threat? Informed people can disagree, but the Canadian Security Intelligence Service did everyone a favour by convening a workshop on "The Future of al-Qaeda" and then publishing the results, including three possible scenarios. They ranged from al-Qaeda in decline, as the State Department suggested, to al-Qaeda growing incrementally, to al-Qaeda gaining rapidly in strength.
The incremental growth scenario emerged as the most likely. If that is correct, the organization will remain a threat for a very long time. Al-Qaeda has morphed or sprung offshoots to Saharan Africa and parts of Southeast Asia. It remains resilient in Pakistan and some countries in the Middle East.
Its fighters are now very much involved in the Syrian war, hoping to assist in the overthrow of Bashar al-Assad's regime and replace it with a militant Sunni alternative. And, of course, it has followers and sleeper cells in Western countries who remain a threat, witness to which were the recent arrests of men alleged to have been plotting to blow up a train between Toronto and New York.
This very loose network of affiliates persists, despite U.S. drone attacks and other actions that have killed at least 34 key al-Qaeda figures in Pakistan, Yemen and elsewhere. These losses have undoubtedly been disruptive, but the movement grows from the bottom, with new recruits coming from failing states, areas with weak governmental authority, poor economic conditions and, of course, the heavy influence of radical Islam, such as central Yemen, the borderlands of Pakistan, southern Thailand, northern Nigeria or northern Mali.
CSIS published four papers delivered at the conference, but kept the authors' names confidential.
The longest paper, dealing with al-Qaeda Central and al-Qaeda in Iraq, is the most comprehensive and sobering. It concludes that "the long-established nucleus of the al-Qaeda organization has proven itself to be as resilient as it is formidable."
Al-Qaeda's core leadership, the author wrote, "has withstood arguably the greatest international onslaught against a terrorist organization in history." Despite this, the organization has lasted for a quarter of a century. When U.S. troops withdraw from Afghanistan, life will be even easier for al-Qaeda across the border in Pakistan, where its key leaders live and work. The chaos in Syria has presented an opportunity for al-Qaeda to join the fray against an apostate Alawite-controlled regime backed by the Shia forces of Iran and Hezbollah in Lebanon, both enemies of the Sunni jihadis in al-Qaeda.
Western intelligence agencies have become much more sophisticated in identifying al-Qaeda threats. They have prevented attacks and publicized those successes. There may well have been many other successes that the agencies chose to keep quiet. The North American heartland has been protected, a testament to much-improved intelligence practices (and at the cost of a massive loss of public privacy). But there have been attacks in London and Madrid and, of course, in the countries where al-Qaeda and its affiliates operate.
American political scientist Philip Bobbitt has described the struggle against jihadi terror as the "long war." He is right, although "war" suggests a conventional military response, whereas this struggle will be fought more with intelligence than weaponry. It seems likely that it will not end soon, despite what Mr. Obama and others have predicted.Report Typo/Error

People who suffer from arthritis or who are worried that they might some day have to deal with problems of arthritis or osteoarthritis know that there are a number of supplements out there that are supposed to help them to overcome their joint problems, though knowing where to start looking normally is one of the most difficult steps. Without a doubt, one way to learn about joint solutions that create stronger bones and which increase bone density in a matter of days, is to use Membrell joint health solutions that are popular among a large number of people who also might have these problems. Membrell joint health as been among one of the most trusted joint supplements for almost ten years. If you are learning about Membrell joint health solutions for the first time, you'll want to keep in mind that they offer a number of different supplements for different people.
In the late 1990s and early 21st century, doctors knew that they could use egg shell and egg shell membrane to improve the bone strength and density in their patients, but they didn't know how this could be done. In 2002, however, doctors from Membrell joint health managed to create natural supplements that when taken as directed can increase bone density in days. If you have any doubts whatsoever, you can look at some of the testimonials about these supplements that are available in a number of other health resources. In short, a number of patients who were using Membrell joint health products were finding that their bone density was increasing in a number of areas in around 10 days. Membrell joint health supplements have been considered by a number of people a top product when it comes to battling the bone weakness that is a common symptom of osteoarthritis.
Most people who use Membrell joint health products mix these supplements with other kinds of treatments. For example, an individual who is dealing with a condition that causes weak hip bones might take the Membrell joint health natural supplements along with vitamin D supplements. It also is possible to find Membrell joint health products that contain vitamins as well. In this way, you can get supplements that not only increase bone density, but which also lead to long term bone health. This is an important point to remember, especially when many natural supplements tend only to concentrate on short term pain relief.
If you are thinking about using Membrell joint health products, you need to make sure that you know which product to choose. A good way to prepare yourself is to speak to a health professional who has helped you thus far with any bone conditions with which you might be struggling. As a matter of fact, many people choose instead to educate themselves by reading articles and other informational resources that can point them in the right direction when it comes to Membrell joint health products. Individuals can find Membrell joint health products for a number of bone related conditions.

Good morning:
I have a cake order which I am going to be doing Friday. It is a 2 layer WASC cake cover with BC frosting. It is a 11 x 15 pan. I am going to make little snakes and a non-edible hat in the middle made out of MMF. The theme is Indiana Jones. I am also going to make chocolate molded skulls for two corners. I hope this is enough detail. Can anyone give me some advice on how much to charge...please!!! It would really help me out because although I have made cakes before; I have never been paid for it.
Thank you [/b]
In my area I charge $40 for the single layer, depending on how much detail it could go higher. For a double layer I probably would charge $70 - $80. I know alot of people will say charge alot more. But it does depend on your area. Good luck.

How important is your doctor in surrogacy?
Couples in India (particularly in metro cities) are increasingly finding it hard to conceive the natural way. Thankfully, we have very effective solutions like surrogacy that have been helping countless couples become parents.
Let's first understand surrogacy
In surrogacy, another woman carries your child as your wife is struggling with one or more issues that prevent her from conceiving.
Surrogacy can be two types: traditional surrogacy and gestational surrogacy
In a traditional surrogacy, a surrogate mother would be inseminated by your sperm. She carries your baby. The surrogate mother in this setting is called the 'biological mother' of the baby since her egg was fertilized by your sperm.
Donor sperm can also be used in traditional surrogacy.
In gestational surrogacy, the reproduction technology specialists would leverage artificial reproductive technologies like In-vitro Fertilization (IVF) to harvest mother's eggs, fertilize them with father's sperms, and implant the embryo in the uterus of the surrogate mother. In this scenario, the surrogate mother would be called the 'birth mother', but would have no genetic ties to the baby. It is to be noted that in gestational surrogacy, doctors do not use the eggs of the surrogate; instead, the eggs are retrieved from someon in your social or professional circle.
The role that the best doctors play in surrogacy
Your selection of surrogacy specialist would have a huge bearing on your success chances. It is the doctor who will diagnose the causes of infertility in you two, the best solutions that you can think about, and would lay down the surrogacy treatment from start to finish. Therefore, we suggest you to look for the best doctors for surrogacy that you can afford.
The ideal way to figure out which surrogacy specialist doctors in Delhi should be on your list, simply run a Google search for the surrogacy doctors / clinics. Visit websites of these doctors and see what they have to say about their services. Meet a couple of doctors to figure out which one is likely to best meet your purpose. When visiting a doctor, it is good to have a list of questions ready; quite obviously, you will have many questions up on your mind; leverage this opportunity to get those questions answered.
Surrogacy and parenthood
Having a baby adds tons of happiness to life. And surrogacy is among the most successful options to get a baby in your life.
Keep in mind that surrogacies may entail legalities. So approach surrogacy with this thought in mind; ask your doctor if he / she could help you in dealing with the legal formalities.
Thinking about surrogacy? Consult the best doctors for surrogacy . To read more on this topic and about the top surrogacy specialist doctors in Delhi, please refer our other articles.
