Biographical Sketch
Died: Jan. 31, 1932
William Henry Adams was born 18 October 1837 in Posey County, Indiana the son of Jabez Adams and Lucinda Cundiff. William Henry was never known to be sick a day. He was always up before sunrise and he never wore an overcoat, gloves, or ear mufflers in even the coldest weather. He was a Lieutenant in the Civil War in the Missouri State Militia, serving under General Lyons in Missouri. He enlisted in the Civil War, 13 August 1862, at Warsaw, Missouri, in Company G, 60th Regiment of the Missouri Militia, under Capt. William Miller, serving from August 13, to December 1, 1862. He later served under Captain W. E. McGinnis in Company H, the Kansas State Militia, being ordered into active service again 13 October 1864 as second lieutenant, serving 109 days. He was a chief spy for General Lyons; this duty was considered a most important one, and was considered an honor to hold it. His spy duty one time was in locating the Rebel General Marmaduke and he was in the regiment that caused Marmaduke's retreat to the South out of Missouri. At one time, while going home on a furlough, he was captured by two rebel soldiers at a farm house where he had stopped temporarily; he asked permission to go to the stable and get his horse and side arms, so he could ride with them to the Rebel camp. He never came back to them but kept going, keeping the barn between him and the rebels, and ducking and hiding behind the gopher mounds and working his way to freedom. At another time he escaped rebels who were close on his trail. He stopped at an old log cabin, and becoming aware that the rebels were after him, he concealed himself behind the stone fireplace, in the space between the fireplace and the log wall. They searched the cabin house to the best of their ability, and certain that he was hiding therein, demanded that the woman of the place tell them his hiding place. She said that she did not know. They left without finding him and he then went to the barn and mounted a colt that had never been "broke," and succeeded in getting back to his regiment.
He had a sandy beard and mustache, black hair, blue eyes, and a small mouth. He was considered dark complexioned. He never smoked, but he did chew Horseshoe tobacco all his life. He had no false teeth in the year 1916. His weight was about 150 lbs, and was about 5 ft., 9 inches tall. He was a rather spare man, and was always ready to talk on any topic of the day. William was always kind to his stock and he had the fattest horses, cows and pigs in the neighborhood. He was very methodical, always wanted his children to go to school, if possible. He would take his children to school a-horse-back thru the deep snow.
William Henry Adams married Mary E(maline) Spurgeon in the Methodist Episcopal Church near Carthage, Missouri, on November 4, 1867. They settled in Newton Co., Missouri. William Henry worked for John C. Freemont, hauling freight from St. Louis, Missouri, to Fort Scott, Kansas. To William Henry and Mary were born 13 children, the first two were born in Newton Co., Missouri. The others were all born in Franklin Co., Kansas. Children of William Henry Adams and Mary Emaline Spurgeon:
Edward, born Oct. 6, 1868 and died Aug. 20, 1970

As the years have gone by, I still have my bug out bag (and consider L.A. just slightly less evil). I feel an emergency bag is a great item to have stashed in the car trunk or front hall closet. You hope you never have to use it, but feel somewhat secure that it is there. Recently I needed to replace the emergency bag I keep in my car trunk due to an unfortunate meeting of a bowling ball and a tire iron.
I was recommended a Speedo Performance Pro Backpack as a good replacement backpack by my niece. She uses one as one of her high school backpacks and gave it high marks. The price was reasonable and
I thought I would give it a try.
Initial inspection and features
One of my traditions when buying any gear is giving it a good inspection. I do realize that this backpack was bought to be tossed in the trunk of a car, but I figure I can provide a small service by giving you a sense of what your money will buy.
• Dimensions – The bag comes in at 19″H x 13″W x 9.5″D. I find it to be a pretty good sized bag for what I'll be using it for. (click here for more backpacks like this)
• Water-resistant rubberized bottom – This is a nice feature, but not surprising coming from the makers of the Speedo swimsuit. I've always appreciated the extra touch of giving a pack a rubber bottom because it adds extra protection.
• Nice storage options – Any good bag should have multiple pockets for stashing various items. The Speedo offers a media pocket, front zippered pocket with organizer, a wet pocket and cell phone pouch.
• Anatomically-shaped shoulder straps – I haven't lugged the bag around a lot, but these shoulder straps make it seem that it would be a comfortable slog if you had a full pack.
The Speedo is not the most brilliant of looking backpack. Of course, a backpack usually looks like a backpack. If it did not, I would probably steer clear. The Speedo Performance comes in a variety of colors and patterns. I ended up with a purple backpack and have no complaints. My niece has one with a pattern that hurts my eyes. I give Speedo props for offering a variety of appearance options to satisfy their customers. Most gear manufacturers offer a few colors as a "take it or leave it" proposition. I usually do not care about the color of my backpack, but I figure more choice is always better.
Field testing
This was going to be a weird review to write because my intended purpose for this bag was to fill it with emergency supplies and toss it into the trunk of my car. That would not make for a very interesting review. Me pointing that the bag and saying it works great does not help you. So I decided to take the Speedo on a few weekend hikes and take it to my evening classes for a couple of weeks.
Since this is not one of my usual hiking bags, I spent some time working out how to pack it well for a day trip. After working out what goes where, I can say it held everything I needed. I used it for a few weekends in a row and the pack gave me no trouble. I really liked it. It was comfortable to lug around, so I had no complaints there.
Using the speedo as a book bag was equally enjoyable. In fact, I found it to be an even better pack than the one I was using previously. I ran into more foul weather going to school than I did on my hikes, so I was glad for the water resistant bag. I'm luck to live pretty close to my grad school, so I can ride my bike there (and leave the car home).
After using the pack on these trips, I can say it has held up really well. No rips or tears are evident and the water resistant material has been a god send for those times I've been caught in what seems to be monsoon season level rains.
Final thoughts
So how would I rate the Speedo Performance Pro Backpack? I will give it high marks for being one of the better sports backpacks I own. I realize that to some it might seem sacrilege to take a well-made piece of equipment and consign it to the trunk of my car. I would argue that it is a good thing that I am using a quality backpack to keep my emergency supplies protected.
The good news is that I was so impressed with the Speedo that I ran out and bought another one to serve as a spare book bag for school. If the bag had a laptop compartment, I'd be in heaven and would start using it for work. As it is, this is a great backpack for the price. It is nothing fancy (well, except for the colors it comes in).
So, if you are looking for a decently priced backpack that will give you good quality and decent protection from damp situations, the Speedo Performance Pro Backpack will not steer you wrong. I use it all the time now, and not just for stashing stuff in my trunk.

Whether you are looking to position yourself as an industry expert, extend your sphere of influence, or gain the support and backing of vital constituencies, The 7 Principles of Public Speaking will give you the tools you need to achieve your goal.
The trepidation many have for public speaking is assuaged by Peter Johnson's calm, reassuring tone throughout his reading of Richard Zeoli's insightful book. Like a successful public speaker, Johnson's delivery is effortless, natural, and engaging, making for a pleasant and rewarding listen.
Strong communication skills are integral to success in any field, and Zeoli's work offers simple, practical advice on how to become an effective orator. He doesn't rely on trite pointers such as maintaining eye contact or keeping correct posture; he's more concerned with helping the listener achieve confidence organically by discovering and embracing his or her own voice.

Don't waste your money and time
For many people, the biggest hurdle about public speaking is fear. Overcoming this fear will not make you a good speaker, it merely makes you a slightly tolerable one. This book, sadly, does not go further than trying to negotiate this fear. And in this, the proposed methods are quite childish and probably will not have much real effect. And even though the book boasts about also making great speakers greater, it actually does not even attempt it.
Approx 50% of the book is straightforward bragging - it goes over and over again how great of a presenter the author is and how great is the book.
Thus, for absolute beginners, this book is a very time consuming way of learning ~3 truths - be yourself, prepare, tell stories. That's it. For advanced speakers there's nothing in it.
- Mart
Nothing new to public speaking same old rules
The author repeats himself 100s of times it seems in this book. It was annoying to listen to at times because of it. I would not suggest it to anyone else.
No I have not and don't think i could handle anymore of his text in the future.
Maybe the narrator was pleasant and enjoyable, however the text was poorly written.
It offer some advice to those new to public speaking, however all of his stories were kind of bland and it sounded like he was trying to impress you with all the secret big people. He never disclose the names because these people were simply too big.

Reviving the Lost Art of Art
By Melanie Home Gun, EdD candidate, Advisory Board Member
The earliest artists expressed emotions and ideas in creative ways: drawing in caves to record history, designing and decorating functional clay vessels, and performing with their voices and bodies (in dances, songs, and stories). In modern societies, artists create to express their individuality, aspirations, desires, and emotions, and to make commentaries about the human condition. In the 21st century, artists have gone beyond individual expression to create functional art for communities to enjoy and to start projects that bring people and ideas together within a community.
Arguably, the most important role of art in our modern society is to help individuals to communicate their thoughts and feelings and share their experiences with others. In this role, art gives people a voice with which to express their individual desires, dreams and needs, both for communication and for personal understanding. It is this property of art that makes the "A" in STEAM so important for education: it can facilitate individual empowerment and creativity, allow individuals to be innovative by building on their strengths, or be used strategically to design learning environments, redirect challenging behaviors, and improve reading comprehension.
Montana artist Amber Jean's bold, passionate presence is as large and vibrant as the sculptures she creates and carves from trees. In the cathedral-like presence of her giant tree scriptures, Amber sparks the TED audience with her gumption, keen insight, and soulful connection through stories that flow like a clear like a clear mountain stream.

Pacific white-sided dolphins are known for seeking safety in numbers, and in the accompanying video captured up in Hyacinthe Bay, British Columbia, hundreds can be seen racing out of the bay to evade a few hungry killer whales giving chase. The whales do their best to trap these clever dolphins into the small coves found all over Vancouver Island, which is what's happening right when this clip begins. The clip begins with the dolphins sensing nearby danger, and making a stunning sprint for more open ocean. But some of the slower stragglers get cornered in rocky inlet, and are forced to retreat back into the bay to escape.
White-sided dolphins were actually a rare sight in British Columbia during the 18th and 19th centuries, but they started returning in droves throughout the 1980s. Today there are tens of thousands in the area. According to scientists, their long absence was related to either a change in ocean temperatures or a shift in their prey distribution.
It took a few years for the killer whales to figure out how to trap these clever creatures. Eventually the Orcas mastered the technique of luring them into inlets, turning picturesque coves into literal dead-ends. However, locals say the dolphins have already adapted to this ploy, and have since become better at evading their predators. This video will no doubt be studied to validate if that theory is correct.

The original house had been added to over time, but at its core was a beautiful old home with wide pine floors and plaster walls. A critical requirement of the project was to preserve the integrity of the historic structure while giving the new owners additional space for their growing family and friends. With some careful design and care during construction, we were even able to save two venerable oak trees which have graced the home for the better part of the past century.

We love it when we have a history with a home and are asked to continue that relationship. Fourteen years ago, a young couple bought this old farm house on a country lane. They asked us to redesign their kitchen among other changes. Our current clients bought the home a number of years ago, and when they decided to add on, they gave us a call. We added a library, guest bedroom, more porches, bathrooms and outdoor living space. I feel we helped an old friend get even better.
Direct link to this project: http://www.crisparchitects.com/renovations/country-lane.html
There is nary a clue that this refined, comfortable family room was once a bare bones garage, complete with a concrete floor and metal lolly columns down the center. The transformation was completed with wide board floors, a tall and elegant tray ceiling, antique beams and a focal point fireplace with period flair.
Direct link to this project: http://www.crisparchitects.com/renovations/garage-conversion.html
We always love it when our former clients call us back for additional work on their home. In this case the owners wanted an open room which would be a place to play pool, entertain, and gather with family and friends. They wanted the addition to feel like a stone barn to which the main house was added, and we all agree, it really does feel like the stone addition has always been there.

We helped our clients renovate an old farm house about 10 years ago. As their family grew, they decided to expand and renovate their home and asked us to maintain the character of the original structure. It was wonderful to revisit our original project and respectfully expand it to fit the family's current needs.

Sometimes a home needs one room to make it perfect. This home before the addition had charm, wonderful details, and a coziness that would be hard to replicate. What it lacked was a big bright space where family and friends could gather and relax together. The new sunroom, which has radiant heat, is as comfortable with snow on the ground as it is in summer with casement windows wide open making it a screened porch.

We were asked to work on this beautiful old home in Stamford Connecticut in conjunction with Morrissey Saypol Interiors. In the process, we added a new garage, family room, entry, and renovated much of the house including the kitchen. At Crisp Architects, we truly enjoy collaboration with other design professionals, and this one was no exception. The home is now a wonderful gathering place for friends and family, and I am sure the way it has grown would make the original owners proud.

It is fairly common for an old farmhouse in a cold climate to have a low ceiling. That was the most efficient way to make use of the heat coming from fireplaces.
The owners of this old farmhouse wanted to make the most of their low ceilings while renovating their kitchen and dining area. We exposed the 200-year-old beams and floor joists and opened up the walls to the view with French doors and added a large porch. The difference in the way the room felt and the owner's use of the space was like night and day.
Direct link to this project: http://www.crisparchitects.com/renovations/ceiling.html
Old homes need good caretakers. With time, everything needs freshening up and to maintain modern livability, a renovation or addition is sometimes in order. We were very excited when our clients moved into just that sort of home. In addition to restoring parts of the home, we renovated and added, always in keeping with the original.
Now the home works for the new owners and their lifestyle, but still fits well in the historic neighborhood.

Sometimes all a kitchen needs is a make over. When our long time clients asked us to help them redo their kitchen, we jumped at the chance to help them with the new layout and to sharpen up the details.
The bright new kitchen works well and is a great place to cook with friends and family.

To paraphrase a book title, this house epitomizes the New England concept of a "Little House, Big House, Back House, Barn". The house has grown organically to reflect the needs of its owner's over the years. We recently designed an updated kitchen/mudroom wing and a first floor master suite to blend with the original 18th century wing and a later gabled addition. This is the quintessential country home with a deep sense of history.

We started with an historic home on a dirt road in the countryside of Massachusetts. It had been uninhabited for several years. Our clients came along at just the right time to resurrect this beautiful bit of history.
By carefully preserving the antique portions of the home while renovating and adding to the newer sections, we were able to create a home that has a foot in several centuries. Best of all it still feels comfortable on that tiny dirt road.
Direct link to this project: http://www.crisparchitects.com/renovations/mass-farm.html
The small cape that formed the base for this extensive renovation was not adequate to accommodate the family gatherings envisioned by the Owners. The new accommodations are now comfortable for two as well as for a full scaled gathering.
The interior has a casual elegance that supports the owner's style with an abundance of natural light, commodious but friendly rooms and materials that reflect an Old World ambiance, including wide board heart pine floors and plaster coated walls.
Direct link to this project: http://www.crisparchitects.com/renovations/fam-retreat.html
Many of our clients own old farm houses and love the way they fit into the countryside of the Northeast. These same clients want the interior of their homes to be brighter and more modern than the original farm house.
In this project we renovated a large kitchen and added a bright sun room to an 1800s farm house in Litchfield County, Connecticut. One step out of the kitchen is the new sun room which, besides the multi-paned French doors paying homage to the farm house, feels thoroughly modern. The high ceiling and clean lines make the room feel even more spacious. The antique stone fireplace surround imported from France gives the feeling of permanence and grace.

Seldom have we been asked to collaborate with a client who has had such a fully realized vision of the final outcome as this basement pub. I believe he could see himself drinking a pint of stout with friends, throwing darts and playing pool in this space before we measured the existing conditions.
We had a great time helping make our client's vision a reality, working on the details, and throwing in our two cents worth.
Direct link to this project: http://www.crisparchitects.com/renovations/pub.html
Basements can be dark, windowless caverns that are only visited when the boiler is acting up. They can also be a treasure trove of underutilized inexpensive space for creative homeowners. Our clients decided to make their basement a destination. Their home gym includes a top quality work out space, sauna, a bathroom and changing room. With a gym like this, it is hard work not being in shape.

There were no changes to the footprint, but this house went from dark and hulking to sparkling bright and "crisp". The lakeside vista provides the outward focus from the large windows in the kitchen and living room.
The site had obvious assets, but it took a leap of faith on the client's part to appreciate the home's potential. With focus and perseverance this house has become the perfect getaway destination.

From humble beginnings this ranch-style house became a formal, two story brick home. The Owners requested a home that felt like it had been in place for a very long time.
We utilized recycled brick made in the 1800's and built the walls with historically correct brick joints and limestone lintels.
With imagination and attention to detail, we were able to remedy this situation to become an impressive site with an equally impressive home.
Direct link to this project: http://www.crisparchitects.com/renovations/ranch.html
The owners of this house needed more space, better utilized space, and wanted to keep the historic character of their home intact.
We exposed much of the original structure of the historic home. We added period details and antique flooring which in the end made the house feel more historic than before the renovation.
Renovation Style magazine liked the new home so much that they included a long article about it in their pages.
Direct link to this project: http://www.crisparchitects.com/renovations/revitalized.html
Many old homes we are asked to renovate evolve from an original small structure that had been added on to over the centuries. Often we are able to restore the historic sections of the home and renovate or add to it in a way that is both respectful and in keeping with the original structure.
In this case the oldest section of the home sustained extensive damage from termites and dampness over the centuries. Unfortunately there was not much to save, but that provided an opportunity to open up the floor plan to create bright spaces and a very comfortable family home on an historic site.

Our clients asked us to transform the style and layout of their residence in Rhinebeck, New York and provide their growing family a place to gather. In my family, and most families I know, the favorite places to gather are in the kitchen and on the porch. We added a kitchen/family room, a front porch, a back porch and an all important mud room that provides a clean and organized entry to the house. We are so pleased to hear that these new spaces have become the hub and the heart of their home.

From stable to house to renovated home, this building has reached a new level of style and grace. Once a stable for a nearby estate, it is now a free-flowing family home with traditional details punched up with flashes of contemporary color. A new kitchen addition nestles into the original L-structure, providing a hub between formal and informal spaces as well as becoming the center of family life.

With this house we converted a two family residence into a one family weekend cottage.
The redesign allowed on the lower level a mud room, play room and guest bedroom. The upper level contains a living room, kitchen, and two bedrooms. The design fits the owner's lifestyle and their cottage works as a weekend and full time home.

Is it old or is it new? It doesn't really matter when it combines the best of both (but just so you know, it is all new). This quintessential family farmhouse has the light and openness that is perfect for an active family in the 21st century paired with the traditional style and details of a vintage home.
The light-filled kitchen has plenty of built-ins for maximum storage and a cozy dining space.

The owner's requirements for this kitchen was to create a bright well laid out working kitchen on a budget.
We changed the cabinets, existing windows, the paint colors, floors, and added lighting to brighten up the space. The owners love their new kitchen, which has become the central gathering spot in their home.

"What can be done with a concrete block house?" was the first question we were asked at the job site. The owners wanted to expand and renovate an existing concrete block home they had just bought. A major requirement was the incorporation of light and openness to the home.
The design includes a double height living room/kitchen space which affords much appreciated views of the beautifully landscaped property.

Our clients bought an old farm house which had been added-to and modified since the 1800s.
The first task was to remove unwanted additions and interior finishes applied in the 1960s. We renovated most of the house; exposed old beams, replaced vinyl tile with antique wood flooring and updated the kitchen. To finish the transformation, we added a generous front porch which the owners use to relax and enjoy a beautiful pond.

A City Trafficking In Guns Sues Gun Makers And Sellers
February 2, 1999
The city of New Orleans is suing everyone from pawn shops to trade associations for encouraging the sale of "unsafe" guns. However the city's own police department -- with the approval of Mayor Marc Morial -- redistributed thousands of guns last year, says Matt Labash in the Weekly Standard.
In February 1998, the New Orleans police department traded in 715 Beretta 92 Series pistols for 1,700 Glock pistols. To complete the transaction, the police also agreed to trade guns confiscated from criminals in a three-way transaction with a gun distributor who supplies police departments and also sells guns commercially.
- According to Glock officials and records, the city traded over 8,000 confiscated guns, at least 40 percent of which were semi-automatics.
- Nearly all of the guns traded are "unsafe" by the definition of the city's lawsuit, since they lack trigger locks or other devices that might prevent their being fired by unauthorized users.
- Over half of the guns traded were redistributed commercially -- many in other states.
Some of the local pawn shops the city of New Orleans is suing sold fewer than 50 guns, reports Labash.

2012 Seventy Five Wine Company US Red Blend "The Sum"
Winery: Seventy Five Wine Company
Vintage: 2012
Wine Name/Vineyard: "The Sum"
Wine Category: US Red Blend
Grape blend: 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Petite Sirah & 10% Syrah
Region: California
State or country: CA
Price: $20
Cases produced: unknown
KWG Score: 89 (based on 1 review)
Ken's Wine Rating: Very Good (89)
Review date: December 17, 2014
Wine Review: This ruby colored blend from Tuck Beckstoffer would be a nice summer red. It opens with faint red raspberry bouquet. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied, slightly acidic and juicy. The flavor profile is a mineral infused mild red plum with hints of oak and black pepper. The finish is dry and its mild tannins and acidity linger slightly. Our mini-tasting group thought this wine was food friendly and would pair well with tuna tartar or sushi. Enjoy - Ken
Winemaker Notes: The 2012 vintage of The Sum boasts an inky deep purple color accompanied a lovely nose of blueberries, espresso and dark chocolate. Full bodied and multilayered, this wine exhibits what can be achieved through meticulous winemaking and blending. A fantastic wine that will quite easily age for 15 to 20 years but that is also shows wonderfully right away.
Organic status: not organic
Buy it: Use 1000 Corks to find stores that sell 2012 The Sum.

Guest Post: How to Successfully Paint Wood Floors
Today we are excited to have a guest post for your viewing pleasure! We would like to say a big thank you to Bryan from BuildDirect.com for contributing a super informative post on PAINTING your wood floor. How unique and fun is that? Painting a wood floor can either add a traditional, rustic, or eclectic look to your room, depending on how you do it. If you have any questions along the way, or just want to find out more, you can visit BuildDirect.com for yourself for help, or for more great ideas! So, without further ado, take it away Bryan!
Get a Fresh Look: How to Successfully Paint Wood Floors
If there's one thing I love about wood floors, it's gotta be versatility. Refinish 'em, stain 'em or paint 'em, it's absolutely up for you to decide. Yes, you read that correctly: paint 'em.
Painting floors has been practiced in North America since the late 1700s. Styles varied from monochromatic plains to parquet-like patterns, and popular colors included white, yellow, green and red. More than just for aesthetics, painting wood floors helped protect the wide plank wood floors that were popular at that time.
Following rapid development and industrialization advancements, painted wood floors took a backseat and gave way to carpets, clear coats and manufactured floor covering like linoleum and vinyl. However, artistry and creativity have once again made painted wood floors very popular.
Inexpensive, vibrant, and easy are just a few of the reasons that people have turned to painted wood floors for a quick update to make their rooms look fresh and brand new.
Here are the steps to follow to successfully paint wood floors:
Be sure to know what you're doing and gather your materials.
Read, watch, ask and research how to do it, more so if you intend to do it yourself so you get familiar with the tools you need, how to use them and how much they'll cost. More importantly, try to find out more about the wood floor you intend to paint so that you know which paint products will work best with them.
Prepare and clean them up.
Preparing means removing all furnishing and fixtures together with any protective or decorative additions to the wood floors to be painted like mats and area rugs. If the wood floors have been some form of coat or finish, sand them off. You can have local contractors include it in the project or you might want to head out to Home Depot or other similar shop to rent out a machine for $50 or so a day. If you're sanding it yourself, remember not to stay too long on a particular spot so that you don't end up with uneven wood floors to paint. More importantly, remember to sand in the same direction as the grain.
Before you proceed with sanding, quickly but thoroughly inspect all the wood floorboards that you want to paint. This is the best time to do repairs or replacements of the floorboards if you want to make the project go as smoothly as possible.
Once you're done sanding and there is nothing on the surface except bare wood, sweep or vacuum thoroughly to remove dust and wood residue. Finish off cleaning up by wiping the wood floors with a wet mop and a tack cloth.
Primp and prime
After cleaning up, apply primer to the wood floors before applying paint. Primers are important to the success of your painted wood floors so be sure to look for the appropriate priming product. Begin application at the edge of the room using a brush. Once you have covered all the edges, work inside from one end to the other. Let the primer dry according to manufacturer's instructions.
Applying the first coat
Apply the first coat in the same manner you did the primer – brush it from the edges then work inward. In general, it is advised that you use oil-based paint for wood floors as they can appear more polished and, if you make mistakes, it's easier to sand them off.
Another neat trick in successfully painting wood floors is to use a natural brush in applying paint instead of rollers to create a smoother finish.
After the first coat has been applied, allow it to dry completely then lightly sand using 220-grit sandpaper. You can also use sand screens with a drywall pole sander then clean up with a damp dust mop and tack cloth.
Apply a second and third layer of paint. Keep in mind that each layer should be as thin and even as possible. The thicker the coats are, the easier they wear out.
Dried and cured
Be sure to let the painted floors dry completely to ensure success. Let it dry before you start walking on it and once its dried, to be safe, allow 24 hours before bringing in the furniture. Be mindful of those stilettos too.
While drying can take 24 hours or less, complete curing of the paint can take up to four weeks. So be sure to consider that before dragging in the piano or anything.
Follow these steps and don't be afraid to explore colors and patterns to create a fresh look for your wood floors.

This video talks about a pit bull named Buddha. As soon as you start watching the video you will immediately realize this dog was in a bad shape: he was by himself, some random kids decided to throw rocks at him for the sake of it, and the dog just looked lost.
If you were to look at his face in the beginning you could tell: this dog was unhappy. But these people had a heart of gold and decided to help Buddha.
You can see in the video he still struggles to trust people and doesn't want to get too close. He doesn't want to get hurt anymore, he just wants to be loved. Luckily, these people just wanted to love him and as such, they decided to take good care of him.
At the end of the video you can clearly see that Buddha is now a confident dog that loves his new home and best of all: he is happy again. This just goes to show that even though he is a pit bull, he just needs some love.

The 2017 Stand Out Women's Empowerment Experience: Embrace Your Possibilities contains four pillars that when embraced allow a woman to live a life of unlimited possibilities. They are:
Reflect: The essence of reflection is centered in taking time for silence, prayer, and meditation so that you can align with the higher calling of your heart and soul. Marnie Hansen will lead us into that sacred space inside where all answers exist. Once clear, Erin Lewis will guide us to amplify our most heart and soul-felt desires, wishes, and dreams so that we may live a life of unlimited possibilities. This pillar is where every life-changing, earth-shattering breakthrough and possibility begin.
Reclaim: Reclamation is the return to the truest essence of who we are. It is the removal of layers and years of being told we are someone different. Jen Andersen will lead us through overcoming internal obstacles that prevent realization of the dream. By removing limiting beliefs, getting out of our own way, avoiding the comparison trap, and eliminating our fear of failure and success, we are free to fully reclaim all that is divinely intended for us on our Path. This pillar is the transformative work of reaching your highest potential and realizing your dreams.
Revamp: Once the dream is defined and the vessel is cleared, it is all about breathing new life and delivering impact. Adrienne Somerville will share her powerful story of dreaming big and staying focused in order to live her incredible life of unlimited possibilities. Our ability to achieve success lies in revamping the way we see ourselves and how we show up in the world with others. Sharing her tips and strategies, Adrienne will inspire us to take action in bold, innovative, and determined ways.
Resuscitate: The very definition of resuscitation beckons breathing new life. The power-packed areas of health, wealth, and relationships require us to dig deep and find innovative ways to fully embrace what is possible for our lives – especially if our current situation is different than our desired destination. For health, Dr. Alice Fong, will educate us on the healthiest ways to relieve stress, the correlation between food and mood, and share her best health tips on living a happy, healthy life. For relationships, Shaniqua Cousins, will share her favorite ways to enhance the most important relationships in our lives – spouse/significant other and children. Not married/no kids – no worries. This may just guide you into finding or creating that ideal relationship. For wealth, Barbara Stanny, our money expert will share what women need to know in order to get smart about creating financial abundance and living life on our own terms.
The Stand Out Experience is an annual fundraiser for The Dream Queen Foundation in support of the Gals Lead Teen Program. The program exists to ignite the flames of self-discovery and empowerment for teen girls.

Sweden's Henrik Stenson successfully defended a title for the first time in his career after a thrilling finish to the DP World Tour Championship on Sunday.
Stenson carded a closing 70 at Jumeirah Golf Estates to finish 16 under par, two shots ahead of world number one Rory McIlroy and Ryder Cup team-mates Justin Rose and Victor Dubuisson.
Ireland's Shane Lowry finished a shot further back in fifth to move into the top 50 in the world and take a massive step towards securing a Masters debut next April.
Spain's Rafael Cabrera-Bello held a two-shot lead with seven holes to play only to bogey the 12th and run up double bogeys on the 16th and 17th after finding water on both occasions.
Stenson had also found trouble on a rollercoaster back nine, hitting his tee shot out of bounds on the 11th to gift playing partner Cabrera-Bello that two-shot advantage, but a brilliant tee shot on the par-three 17th produced a tap-in birdie to reclaim the lead.
McIlroy and Rose had missed birdie putts on the 18th from near-identical positions, while Dubuisson had to settle for a birdie after almost holing out from a greenside bunker.

one-hundred and eight Sanskrit treatises that embody the philosophy of the Vedas. Considered the most significant philosophical sections and crest jewels of the Vedas, the Upaniṣads are found in the Āraṇyaka and Brāhmaṇa portions of the Vedas. They are theistic and contain the realizations and teachings of great sages of antiquity; The term upaniṣad literally means that which is learned by sitting close to the teacher. The texts of the Upaniṣads teach the philosophy of the Absolute Truth (Brahman) to those seeking liberation from birth and death, and the study of the Upaniṣads is known as Vedānta, the conclusion of the Veda. The contents of the Upaniṣads are extremely difficult to fathom; they are to be understood only under the close guidance of a spiritual master (guru). Because the Upaniṣads contain many apparently contradictory statements, the great sage Vyāsa systematized the Upaniṣadic teachings in the Vedānta-sūtra. His natural commentary on the Vedānta-sūtra is the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam. See Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, Vedānta-sūtra.

"I want to appear on the front page of Google results, what am I supposed to do?"
This is what we usually hear from most of the marketers, but many business owners don't know the level of complexity of achieving higher rankings on search results and some are amazed to see the efforts required to accomplish their goals. In today's world, using Pay Per Click advertising is an effective technique to acquire a competitive appearance at the first page of Google results.
Pay Per Click Advertising truly plays a key marketing role in any business. The question is how you can grow your PPC account, what the main strategies to improve and review your campaign are and how you can get more from Pay Per Click campaigns. Here, we have six essential tips to get you out of this fix.
6 Fundamental Approaches to Grow your PPC Account
If you are a paid research marketer and your account hasn't been optimized yet, then your first and foremost step is to review whether the basics are correctly implemented. If not, then you need to work really hard to grow your business successfully. Here you go with the tips!
1. Set Your Budget
Whenever you are planning your account formation, always keep in view your daily budget and also how this would be distributed throughout your campaigns. Let' suppose, you have a daily budget of 10$ and you have to allocate your budget over 20 campaigns. As a result, your visibility will be restricted because each campaign would only receive a budget of $0.50. If your cost per click is approximately $1.00 mark, then your keywords will never appear because the CPC goes beyond your budget line. So, it's important that you set your budget before you form any account
2. Set your Hands on High Converting Keywords
Create a separate dedicated campaign which will pull out high converting keywords for your site. This way, you can grow your account more effectively by spending more time monitoring your keywords and optimizing the performance.
3. Search and Display Targeting
Search and Display play different and essential roles in your business. They need to be scrutinized and optimized individually, that is why it is important to target both Search and Display in separate campaigns. This is a common mistake which is found in many Pay Per Click accounts, because Adwords compel marketers to choose both search and display for a new campaign. So, keep them separate to maximize your gains.
Due to the diversity of Pay Per Click Accounts, it is easy for marketers to make mistakes. Like some marketers select wrong settings for the campaign, while others add keywords into the incorrect AdGroup. So, make sure that you perform a full quality check on your account before posting any changes. This step is vital because any error or small mistake can be pricey and detrimental to the efficiency of your account.
5. Make your AdGroups Granular
The most vital element for the enhanced Quality Score is click through rate. This factor can be improved by making text Ads extremely relevant to your keywords. So, make your AdGroups granular, because this option will provide itself for tailoring ads more purposely.
6. Revisit your Account
Make sure that you visit your account at least once or twice a year to ensure that your account is carrying out the best practices and is following the foundation principles of a successful paid search campaign.
There are tons of minor and avoidable mistakes which can prove to be harmful and costly in paid search marketing. By squeezing all these breakthrough tips, while reviewing and improving your account structure, you will be able to manage your Pay Per Click account in an effective way in terms of money and time as well. Good Luck!

The Employment Tribunal's decision in Loch and others v British Gas Trading Ltd and another confirms the principle that workers holiday pay must be calculated to include all elements of normal remuneration, including commission.
This follows the Employment Appeal Tribunal (EAT)'s decision in Bear Scotland Ltd v Fulton and others that non-guaranteed overtime should be included in the calculation of holiday pay (for more information please see our previous article "Earn more pay for taking the same holiday"). This was a significant departure from the established position that overtime pay need only be included where overtime was both compulsory and guaranteed.
Background to the case:
Lock was an energy trader whose remuneration consisted of basic pay plus commission on the sales he achieved. Commission, on average, amounted for 60% of his income. His holiday pay was calculated by reference to his basic salary only and did not reflect the commission element of his income. Naturally, when Lock was on holiday he could not generate sales and therefore his income was significantly lower in the weeks following his return from holiday.
In 2014 Lock complained to an Employment Tribunal, arguing that his holiday pay did not comply with European legislation. The Tribunal referred the case to the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) and the CJEU agreed with Lock. The matter was then remitted back to the Tribunal and it is this decision that has recently been published.
The decision:
The Tribunal adopted the approach taken by the EAT in Bear Scotland that the Working Time Regulations 1998 (WTR) were capable of being interpreted to reflect European legislation and held that commission should be included in the calculation of holiday pay.
The question is then, how should employers calculate holiday pay? Unhelpfully the Tribunal did not give clear guidance as there will be a further hearing looking at this point. We are therefore left with the guidance from the EAT in Bear Scotland that holiday pay should be calculated on the basis of the employee's average earnings in the preceding 12 weeks.
The further Lock hearing will also look at whether there is still a requirement to include commission in holiday pay calculations where an existing commission scheme is structured to compensate for annual leave.
It is still not clear whether voluntary overtime should be taken into account (i.e. overtime that the employer is not obliged to offer, and which, if offered, the worker is not required to do).
What does this mean?
An employee may claim an unlawful 'deduction' from wages if his/her employer has failed to pay the correct amount of holiday pay.
However, as a small comfort there are some limitations on such a claim:
- The Tribunal confirmed that its decision was only relevant to the 4 week holiday period granted by regulation 13 of the WTR and not to the additional period of 1.6 weeks' holiday granted by regulation 13A.
- From 1 July 2015 back pay claims will be limited to 2 years following the new Deduction from Wages (Limitation) Regulations 2014 which came into force on 8 January 2014.
- The EAT in Bear Scotland held that a gap of 3 months or more between underpayments would 'break the series' for the purposes of an unlawful deduction from wages claim. The EAT had granted permission to appeal to the Court of Appeal on this point however Unite, the trade union which represented some of the claimants in the appeals, has announced that it will not be appealing the EAT's decision.
Whilst the limitations at point 2 and 3 above are very welcome, they may incentivise workers with existing claims for arrears of holiday pay to bring claims now, before the 2 year limitation period takes effect.
What should employers do now?
Whilst this decision by the Tribunal is not binding and is potentially subject to appeal, this decision following the EAT's decision in Bear Scotland is a warning that employers must change their systems to ensure that holiday pay is correctly calculated going forward.
Holiday pay must be calculated to include all payments which are directly or intrinsically linked to the worker's normal, day to day work. This includes non-guaranteed overtime and commission payments as well as travel time payments which exceed expenses incurred and so amount to additional taxable remuneration.

We have a Buffalo LinkTheater — a box that plays downloaded stuff from our laptops or from a hard drive. I personally think they gave the Buffalo a good name: it's slow, ponderous, stubborn, and cranky. It never has gotten the remote computer stuff right (which is why we bought it its very own hard drive), and it chokes on half of the formats it's supposed to play. We use it all the time, though — especially since our DVD player went hinky — but it does occasionally drive me nuts. So my silly brain started singing this the other day while waiting for it to boot . . . (blame the spellings in the second stanza on Bugs Bunny!)
Oh, give me a home
Where the Buffalo works
And all of our downloads will play
Where seldom is hoid
A four-letter woid
And the hard drive will read fast all day.
Home, Home on the Street
Where the Media Wall is complete
Where the Internet works
And we get all the perks
Of the Social 'Net right in our seats!
And, to make up for that piece of tripe, a more "normal" joke that ran around one of my mailing lists:
A young man named John received a parrot as an early Christmas gift. The parrot had a bad attitude and an even worse vocabulary. Every word out of the bird's mouth was rude, obnoxious and laced with profanity. John tried and tried to change the bird's attitude by consistently saying only polite words, playing soft music and anything else he could think of to 'clean up' the bird's vocabulary.
Finally, John was fed up and he yelled at the parrot.
The parrot yelled back.
John shook the parrot and the parrot got angrier and even ruder.
John, in desperation, threw up his hands, grabbed the bird and shoved him in the freezer.
For a few minutes the parrot squawked and kicked and screamed. Then suddenly there was total quiet. Not a peep was heard for over a minute.
Fearing that he'd hurt the parrot, John quickly opened the door to the freezer.
The parrot calmly stepped out onto John's outstretched arms and said 'I believe I may have offended you with my rude language and actions. I'm sincerely remorseful for my inappropriate transgressions and I fully intend to do everything I can to correct my rude and unforgivable behavior.'
John was stunned at the change in the bird's attitude. As he was about to ask the parrot what had made such a dramatic change in his behavior, the bird continued….
'May I inquire as to what the turkey did?'
