'Real Money' After the Holidays: Get the Most From Unwanted Presents
When Jamie and Jordan Cone of Freehold, N.J., were in the market for a new camera after the holidays, they went to Secondipity.com, a likely destination for mountains of unwrapped and then unwanted electronics presents.
They'd spent all of their money on their children — Madeline, Jack, Caleb and Hattie — but still hoped to score just one present for themselves.
Before the parents headed to Secondipidity.com, though, Joanna Stern, ABC News' technology editor, came to their home for the "Real Money" series to show them how to turn presents from holidays past into fast cash and gifts.
Below are Stern's tips:
1. Cash in Old Clothes
ThredUP.com in San Francisco pays for gently used clothes and also sends you a bag to fill. A Kenneth Cole size 4 jacket could get as much as $8.50 and a Ralph Lauren hoodie size 5, as much as $5.
"That's great," Jordan Cone said. "We'll take it."
With two bags full — and at the door awaiting UPS pickup – the Cones scored nearly $80, about half of what they need for the new camera.
2. Go Drawer Digging for Hidden Treasure
Stern said the family's old Nintendo DS and BlackBerry could be traded on Amazon and Boston'sNextworth.com for $30 each.
"Sixty dollars just laying in a drawer," Jaime Cone said.
They also got $37 they got for a smartphone with a cracked screen and roughly $40 for an old Playstation 2.
With two rooms down — and $218 already tallied — the Cones and Stern kept digging.
3. Christmas Gift Cards
At GiftCardGranny.com, the Cones were offered $46 for a $50 Amazon gift card they'd received during the holidays.
Baltimore's GiftCardRescue.com also offered $46 for $60 worth of Barnes and Nobles gift cards.
4. Skip the Shipping and Get Money While You Shop
The Cones and Stern traded in the family's used video games and electronics at Target.
5. Shop Wholesalers for Big-Ticket Items at Steep Discounts
Secondipidity's warehouse in Cranbury, N.J., is home to scooters, slides, ceiling fans, games, even vacuum cleaners, because when an electronic item has been opened, retailers can't put it back on the shelf.
Instead, they send the products to Secondipidity.com, which works with seven of the nation's biggest retailers. The clearinghouse then sells the items at discounts up to 80 percent.
According to Consumer Reports Survey, one in five Americans will return a holiday gift — $59 billion in unwanted gifts.
"For the people who didn't like what was under the tree this year, a lot of those gifts do come back here," said Rob Caskey, the company's vice president. "We inspect it. We test it. We grade it."
In the end, the Cones scored $373 and found their camera on Secondipidity.com for 25 percent off.

Q&A with Susan McMahon, Owner Donna Bella Lingerie
Q&A with Susan McMahon, Owner
Donna Bella Lingerie
Susan McMahon is the Owner of Donna Bella Boutique in Corvallis, Oregon. She sat down with the Lingerie Journal over the phone to talk about her store. Susan, thank you again for sharing!
TLJ: Susan, what are the best sellers at your store?
Susan: I'd have to say it's Eveden, Anita and Wacoal. Fit is the domain associated with Eveden—Europeans just get it.
Anita focuses on a basic style and they have gorgeous, fabulous fitting bras, but more basic. They do have a high-end and pretty collection, but we stay away from that only because of the price points.
Wacoal we carry for the name. There are products we love and some…that we don't. Our customers love the cost associated with Wacoal. They are a mid-tier brand with reasonable products with a price point that people are comfy with.
In this market we're really sensitive to price. All of us are.
TLJ: What do you look for when searching for new inventory?
Susan: I am very careful about what I bring into my store. I won't bring in the low-end brands—not at all. And the reason for that is because the department stores are already saturated with them. I consider them a tainted product.
I struggle the most in the moderate to low price points and being happy with it.
I find it hard to fill niches in our store because I can't find the right product or the right company. My biggest niche to fill is the ABC cut girls who don't want to spend money on bras, but don't mind going to Victoria's Secret and are OK with buying a bra that falls apart in six months.
TLJ: Can you expand on your decision process?
Susan: It all depends on gaps and holes. I'm looking for good price points and I try it with caution. I try to see the fit and I try it out on the staff to decide if we like it or not.
TLJ: What are some new products that you've tested and have worked?
Susan: The newest products we've brought in are Affinitas and Alegro and they have worked out very well. Affinitas has a new collection of bigger cups.
TLJ: What trade shows do you attend and how do they influence your buying decisions?
Susan: I do CURVE Las Vegas being that I'm here on the West Coast. I have done the NY shows, but factoring in the time, cost, etc, it doesn't make sense. CURVENV is a good show.
With new product, if I can't see it or feel it, I'm not going to buy it.
I'd say that 90 percent of what we carry comes from going to the shows. I will say though, that I often don't order at the show. I have to make sure it makes financial sense first.
TLJ: Are there any other trade shows you attend?
Susan: In Portland, I go to the Northwest Market. It's mid-tier and I find a lot of the flirty items I carry at my store like Shirley of Hollywood, Dreamgirl, etc. I'll also shop for bustiers and sleepwear there.

Decision Paralysis
Deck Help forum
Posted on Oct. 10, 2018, 7:57 p.m. by MindAblaze
I've reached an impasse and need your suggestions. Any you make will be valuable.
I've been...hoarding cards lately, ordering playset after play set of things to build with, and now that most of them are here I don't know what exactly to do with them. I'm really in need of suggestions because I can't make a decision. Below is a list of cards that I have desire to make into something(s?);
Psychic Corrosion and,
Obviously I have more cards than this to supplement whatever the plan ends up being and I don't expect to fit them all together, but if you have any suggestions then shoot. I'd greatly appreciate any ideas. Apparently I'm a netherbeast who has developed the retardations and can't build a sixty card deck anymore...
What format are you aiming for? You're fine for Modern (and I'm assuming that's the goal) as long as you aren't intent on running Sickening Dreams, as it was only really printed in Torment. The Graveborn is just a reprint set.
October 10, 2018 8:22 p.m.
Honestly you should probably not build these into anything at all since this sounds like something that could snowball into a large issue. Whenever you want to impulse buy stuff in the future, you'll remember the pile of semi-worthless neat cards that still took $50 out of your finances.
October 10, 2018 10:47 p.m.
Flooremoji says... #4
Mogg Fanatic, although used as a wincon in some infinite combo decks, is not that much of a build-around. I would like to see Nahiri's Wrath combo though! Better get to work on that...
October 11, 2018 12:01 a.m.
MindAblaze says... #5
Haha Arvail I hear you. These are cards purchased between June and now, and yes I cut down. I'm fully aware of my capacity for addiction. They're not the only cards I bought either, but I ordered some for my cube and at least Dreams, Wrath and Flayer were intended to go in the same deck...maybe Prized Amalgam. Nahiri's Wrath+ Mogg Maniac seemed fun...Also in the OP I didn't mean fanatic I meant Maniac.
TMBRLZ No specific format, my play group doesn't like when they lose before they get to durdle around for awhile...
October 11, 2018 12:43 a.m.
Flooremoji says... #6
Ah Mogg Maniac! You mislinked it.
October 11, 2018 12:49 a.m.
flayer and amalgam do combo well, so do corrosion and madness. Nahiri and dreams are basically the same card, while wildfire eternal, mogg fanatic and thought gorger are kind of the odd things out.
So there are two decks I can foresee - Sultai Turbo Mill, using green to ramp and empty your hand faster and casting Whispering Madness with corrosion out; Grixis Surveil/Dredge deck with amalgam, flayer, Narcomoeba and Creeping Chill.
Which one of these do you think sets your mind ablaze with the possibilities, MindAblaze?
October 11, 2018 3:06 a.m.
MindAblaze says... #8
Well Whispering Madness and Psychic Corrosion seemed fun, and were intended to play together. I even considered Undead Alchemist and Wildfire Eternal for that. Casting zombies and getting mill spells like Traumatize and Mind Funeral for free seemed like a thing to do if I can get the Eternal through.
The other goal was originally to mash Flayer, Prized Amalgam, Sickening Dreams, Nahiri's Wrath and Mogg Maniac into the same shell. I don't exactly want to only build Grixis decks, despite my love affair with the undead lol. This deck could have Gravecrawlers and Bloodghasts, and would probably benefit from a way to reanimate the Flayers.
October 11, 2018 11:45 a.m.
It looks like most of the cards here could go into a grix madness spell slinger deck
October 11, 2018 1:22 p.m.
MindAblaze says... #10
Unless I wanted to play Esper zombies for the Psychic Corrosion game plan. Varina, Lich Queen could make that really interesting.

In this article, we take a look at Codemods, a tool for making sweeping changes across your code with ease and effectiveness. Codemods are invented by a team of developers from Facebook to assist large-scale migrations in code-base, and we are going to take a deep look into a particular codemod tool called jscodeshift.
Category: Javascript
Web applications often maintain state in JS objects that have no direct DOM representation. Such applications may want such state to be submittable.
In JavaScript, objects are used to store keyed collections of various data and more complex entities. Objects penetrate almost every aspect of the JavaScript language. The object might be accessed as global or passed as an argument. Functions that have access to the object can modify the object, whether intentionally or accidentally. To prevent modification of our objects, one of the techniques is to use Object.freeze().
This article deals with some intricacies revolving around the arguments object, a magical and mysterious creature residing in the functional realms of the Javascript world, which can be summoned anytime in your code by the programming wizards without any spells, incantations or sorcery.

Bold New Hobbies
Hobbies reflect who you are. Whether you're at a party, a first-date, or cornered by that one surprisingly chatty relative, having a unique topic that you're passionate about is a perfect way to make a lasting impression. Here are some of our favorite picks for new hobbies that are as unique as you are!
Drone Racing
It turns out drones are good for more than just creating cool title sequences for tv shows. Recently, they've kicked off one of the hottest new sports around — drone racing. The Drone Racing League pits top pilots against one another in a fast-paced race to the finish through courses straight out of a new Mario Kart game. Wearing a special headset displaying a camera feed from their drone, pilots duck, roll, and weave through neon lit courses complete with moving obstacles. Now that the sport has been picked up by ESPN, it's just waiting for its next generation of stars. Maybe one could be you.
Video Game Modding
Have you ever thought a game was good, but it could be better? Or that a game about pirates should actually be about space samurai who fly on magic cats made out of rainbows? (Just me?) By becoming a videogame modder, you could make it happen. Modders take their favorite games and tweak them to create something new. It could be as small as a new weapon or a complete overhaul of nearly every aspect of a game. Some of the most popular mods have even become games of their own like Counterstrike and PUBG. If you've ever dreamed of making video games for a living, modding could be a great way to get started.
For a few years now, yoga's been having a moment. Luckily for you trendsetters, a new style has emerged that changes things up in pretty exciting ways. Acroyoga combines elements of both yoga and acrobatics for an activity that pushes your balance and physical fitness to their limits. Best of all, it's one of the only full-body workouts that can leave you feeling calm and refreshed. Afterwards, don't forget to cool down with a boldly delicious SUNNYD. Our full-body flavor will also leave you refreshed!

FilmInstituteEvents18th January 2019Helen Sartory is an artist-producer and emerging technologies advisor currently involved in a range of projects across startup incubation, music technology and immersive performance. She recently joined the team at Abbey Road Red to help produce their first Hackathon. Read about her experiences from the 36 hour tech-fest.I joined the team at Abbey Road Red to help produce their first Hackathon - a 36 hour marathon of technology, coding, music and caffeine, and absolutely one of the most rewarding projects I've worked on so far in music tech. I've just about recovered, so now seemed like a good time to unload my brain into a post about what I personally took away from the event apart from 100 new friends!There were outstanding entries from teams from all around the world, but as a musician with a lean towards immersive performance, I was really excited to see those focused on innovating the way music is created and performed, specifically those using Chirp - one of our technology sponsors - which allows data to be sent between nearby devices using sound (via audible or nearultrasonic frequencies). Incorporating devices that aren't traditionally accessible in live performance, like phones, or building robust performance systems that can be triggered wirelessly is a hugely exciting shift to see, and a sign that we might be moving beyond the traditional PA system - a key hurdle for performing in non-traditional venues and formats.
Two of my favourite projects, La Vaca Cega and AHRChoir (which was built in 2 hours!), both created tools based on Chirp that transform an audience into a distributed synthesiser / speaker using their phones, an idea I'm really excited about (and attempted to build at the SXSW Hackathon in 2017 - shoutout to team CrowdPlay!). The demos were magical to experience and I think there's huge potential to add some geo-fencing and start creating 3D sound effects from within a crowd.
Sonic Breadcrumbs also used Chirp to create a audio-triggered "scavenger hunt", which encouraged users to explore the Studios (along a storyline that followed a stressed-out Abbey Road runner!) - another application that has really exciting implications for performance layouts and interactivity.If you haven't met Alex Glow and her amazing 3D printed owl Archimedes, google them immediately! Her project, Hidden Lyrics, used Chirp commands embedded into existing tracks to trigger a series of owl-y "dance" moves (adorable…), which had my brain turning over all the different ways we might be able to use audio to control physical objects and environments.Another big theme that I loved seeing in action were projects that created new interfaces for music creation, especially those aimed at musicians with restricted movement - I can't help but think that the wonderful Kris Halpin's Mi.Mu. Glove demonstration on Day One was a big influence on this.
In the physical domain, the AutoMelodiChord and the Theremin T-Shirt were great examples of capacitance / gestural controlled instruments, and Face Beat utilised face tracking modules to build a mind-boggling sound triggering system that reacted to facial expressions in real-time. On the other end of the spectrum, XRSynth approached sound design in super innovative way - putting virtual objects with different sound properties into an interactive 3D environment, which has huge applications in both audio-visual performance and AR / VR.I could go on and on, as every team's submission blew my mind in some way, but I'll leave it there for now. A big shout-out to everyone who took part and kept spirit's high (even at 4am!), our wonderful sponsors, and massive thanks to the team at Abbey Road for all your help. I can't wait to do it all over again next year!

Glowing in the Dark

I have a lot of vague thoughts about light and darkness in my head right now… but… it's late, and I have too much to do and bed is calling.

As I listen to it pouring outside this morning, I can imagine the front bunched up against the Cascade Mountain Range and in particular the Mt. Hood area. Lost is a woman, Lidiya Dmitriyevna Russu, who parked near a trail head to do what, I don't know (mushroom hunt, take a hike, contemplate a view, etc). The opinion is she was not prepared to spend the night. Another person's outdoor plight is your reminder to be prepared for outdoor emergencies. You know the drill. I have posted often enough here re outdoor safety considerations. The reminder is don't make that careless mental decision to forego the pack, the gear, the notifications that will keep you healthy and found. Best wishes Lidiya……. end of 10/10, still not found
Update 10-12-2011
"In making the decision to suspend the search, the sheriff's office consulted with Dr. Terri Schmidt, a medical doctor from Oregon Health & Science University who is an expert in emergency medicine and wilderness survival. They also reached out to other experts in the search-and-rescue community for advice.
"Mrs. Russu had very limited wilderness survival experience and was not properly dressed or equipped to stay in the wilderness," Rhodes said. "Given the heavy rain, low temperatures and high winds, the likelihood that Mrs. Russu will be recovered alive is outweighed by the extreme risk posed to searchers in this rugged terrain and wintery weather."

New Adventures' magical production of Edward Scissorhands is back in London after a phenomenally successful World Tour that has included sell-out performances in New York, LA, San Francisco, Syndey, Melbourne and Paris.
Matthew Bourne's adaptation of the classic Tim Burton motion picture is a treat for all the family. Featuring the beautiful and unmistakable theme music by Danny Elfman, this touching and witty gothic fairytale tells the story of a boy created by a lonely inventor who dies leaving him alone and unfinished. Left with only scissors for hands, Edward struggles to find his place in a strange new suburban world where the well meaning community struggle to see past his strange appearance to the innocence and gentleness within.
After global success with his inspired interpretations of Car Man, Nutcracker!, Highland Fling and the multi award-winning Swan Lake and Play Without Words, Matthew Bourne has also enjoyed success with his work in the hit musical, Mary Poppins.

Mrs. Burt (Third Grade)
Welcome to our class website! On this website you will find important announcements, updates about what we are learning in class, pictures, videos, useful links, and more. I hope that you take the time to explore all pages on the website and visit it often throughout the school year. This website will help to keep you informed and connected to your child's education. I cannot wait to share all of the great things happening in third grade this year!
Hi, my name is Mrs. Burt and this is my third year teaching at Winfield Central. I love teaching third grade and I am looking forward to another great year at Winfield. I graduated from Western Illinois University and began my teaching career as a paraprofessional. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family, friends, and dog (Baxter). I also enjoy being outdoors, crafting, and cooking. I love to read, and I hope you do too! We will be reading a lot of great stories this year, and there are many great reading areas waiting for you in our classroom.
This summer I worked at a summer camp at the Campanelli YMCA in Schaumburg with Mrs. Nasiopulos. We had a lot of fun playing games outside and going on field trips each week. I spent the rest of my time with my family and friends. A few of my favorite days included going to Disney World, visiting Milwaukee, and a family vacation to Wisconsin Dells. I had a wonderful summer, but I can't wait to meet all of you. Third grade is an exciting year! We will have a lot of fun and learn so many new and interesting things that you never knew before. I am looking forward to a great year ahead!
Mrs. Burt
Our goal in third grade is to provide students with opportunities to collaborate with their peers and to grow as independent, self-directed learners.
ELA - During our literacy block each morning, we balance whole group instruction to introduce literacy skills along with small group and independent work during Daily 5 (read to self, read to someone, listen to reading, word work, and work on writing).
Word Work - Each week, students will be given a group of words to study from Words Their Way to practice spelling rules and patterns.
Writing - Students will develop their skills as a writer with the 6+1 Writing Traits during Writer's Workshop each week. Students will respond to writing prompts and compose narrative, opinion, and informative pieces throughout the year.
Math - We use Sadlier Oxford's Common Core Progress workbook as the basis of our curriculum. Math instruction is delivered through a guided math framework where students will work on math skills in small groups and with partners along with independent practice.
Social Studies - In third grade social studies, the curriculum is based on the Illinois State Standards. Our units of study include civics, geography, economics, and history with a focus on our community. Projects include the Biography Wax Museum and Market Day!
Science - We are currently using Mystery Science for the basis of our curricular instruction.
Monday: P.E.
Tuesday: P.E.
Wednesday: Art & Second Steps
Thursday: Spanish and P.E.
Friday: P.E. and Library
Each night, your child will typically have the following independent practice to complete at home:
- Reading - Read 20 minutes and log the pages read in the assignment notebook.
- Word Work - Words Their Way practice task - please see the spelling section under the Nasiopulos Core Subjects page for more information
- Math - practice task (could be a practice page, fact practice, etc.)
All daily independent practice tasks will be written in your child's notebook everyday so please be sure to check it daily.

Middlewich and the Great War Project
An Appeal
The newly grant funded project is already making rapid progress with more people coming forward to be involved.
It is apparent that our project will touch local communities in more ways than originally anticipated.
We were contacted by a local resident about his experiences visiting a cemetery in France to see the last resting place of his relative and the emotion he felt at having found out about what had happened to him. After all this time the feeling of remembrance and pride is still strong and he wondered if we were interested in his story and photographs he had taken.
That's part of what this project is all about, the connection felt within the community and when I thought about it, how many of us make that journey to the battlefields? We are interested in these acts of remembrance and ask who else would want to be a part of this project that has done the same thing? Why did you do it? How did you feel when finally standing in the place your ancestor lived, fought and died?
We would encourage anyone who has a similar story to come forward and also those who have photographs, medals, postcards or any other memorabilia relating to the Great War to come forward and allow us to share your history in the big community exhibition to be held on the 4th and 5th October 2014.
We have scanning facilities at Victoria Building, the Town Hall and would be very pleased and proud to scan your information to be placed on our community board. Of course we are interested in Middlewich men and women but in today's modern world we have a diverse town and any Middlewich resident is invited to join in the commemoration of their family during the Great War era.
Anyone who is interested in how they can research their family in the Great War or has medals or photographs they cannot identify, please get in contact with Kerry Fletcher, Heritage Development Officer. Due to the Great War Project we have many partnership organisation links including Cheshire East, Cheshire Archives and Imperial War Museum North and connections with other organisations that can help.
Telephone Kerry Fletcher, Heritage Development Officer on 01606 833434 or email email@example.com latest news on this project can be found on websites: www.middlewich-heritage.org.uk , Middlewich Diary and social media.

When I travel alone or with Carrie I can fold down the rear seats and put the Expedition in the back of the car. When Byron and Leili claim the rear seat then my ride goes on top of the car. Carrie has the same car model I have so I took her roof racks and put them on my car along with my racks. It makes a nice slot for the front tires to rest in. I simply tie it down with nylon webbing (easier then rope to work with) and I'm good to go. I've been doing it this way for the last three years without a mishap
A couple of years ago I had to get four trikes loaded on the car. Two on the roof and two on a Alpaca rack.

You're playing in session 2 of 2 at the District 8 NAP finals, against the halftime leaders. The play to the first 6.25 tricks is shown in the diagram. If you would have played differently, please consider the actual problem anyway. As Eddie Kantar would say: Up or down, Mr. Brown?
Duck the trick, Mr. Slick.
At the table, declarer thought the spade play was a Greek gift, because he had no entry to take another spade finesse. He went up, concluding that the ♠J must be on his left; how could East have it, unless he was in a generous mood? This reasoning is faulty, though. First note that East must have the ♣A, as otherwise the defense could have easily taken another ruff. Next, who has the missing ♦J? If East had it, surely his defense would have been different: He would have used it an exit card if he had all the trumps, or tried for a promotion if he didn't. If West has it, he must *not* have the ♠J, because this would make him 2=6=4=1, and surely he would have led his club. So the ♠J is onside, and this is no Greek gift, but a ferentes compulsus. East (me, of course, or why tell the story?) has all black cards, and I would have to give dummy trick 8 anyway, so I asked declarer the key question at trick 7, and hoped this would make it harder to work out.
I also had to defend this way in case declarer was 6=4=1=2; then if I tried to cash the ♣A, declarer would be forced to make it: Ruff, ♠A, put me back in with the ♠J to give him the ♣K for a heart pitch. But on a spade play he would have a chance to go wrong.
I never took Latin, so perhaps someone will tell me I butchered the attempt to put the answer in the title.

Why We Chose The Joby Handypod: Practical, portable, and easy-to-use addition to a photographer's arsenal.
Let's be honest. Everyone fancies themselves as a bit of a photographer these days. Even you, reading this now, have probably, at some time or other, pointed and clicked your camera at some nice scenery and thought to yourself, while looking at the shot back, "Yeah, this could definitely work as a Nat Geo cover." There's no shame in that. We've all done it.
This rise of the wannabe-pro photographers stems from the fact that cameras themselves have never been more accessible, more user-friendly. Even DSLRs, which used to be solely the territory of the experts, have adapted to the point that even Joe Average can pick one up and get some decent shots if conditions suit.
"This tough, portable, tripod is incredibly versatile."
Looking ever so slightly like the 'Fighting Machines' from War of the Worlds, the Joby Handypod is a handy little helper you never knew you needed until just now. Weighing just 185g, which is roughly half the weight of a can of soup, the Handypod is absolutely perfect for content creators searching for that lightweight, portable, and easy-to-use support system which can take their image-capturing to the next level.
Considering it costs just under £23, this product brings a lot to the table. There's a super comfortable ergonomic rubber grip, that really does fits into the curvature of your hand nicely, a push button locking mechanism for portrait positioning, and a surprisingly solid overall feel for something so lightweight and affordable. The push button isn't for the weak-thumbed but it does add to the overall impression that this tripod is a truly durable bit of kit. Nothing flimsy about it.
From chunky DSLRs to tiny wee compacts, and everything in between, this tough, portable, tripod is incredibly versatile. It can also be used with GoPros, flashes, microphones, and a variety of Joby mounts. This product is a pint-sized friend for adventurers dead set on capturing their excursions' best moments. You'll love it.

Video transcript
Kate talks us through the knowledge she's going to take home and apply in practice…it seems UTIs and pregnancy have been hot topics!
Kirsty: Kate, what have you thought of this conference so far?
Kate Hartley, MS Nurse: Yeah, it's been really good. I've learnt quite a lot in regard to management of women who are wishing to become pregnant who are on disease modifying therapies, and built on to my knowledge in regard to the bladder.
Kirsty: Okay. And what are you most excited about that you've heard about?
Kate: So the bladder, because we see many patients who have bladder disturbance and really the information that I've learnt today in regard to maybe referring patients more readily for botulinum toxin if the anticholinergics have failed, and maybe using a drug called Mirabegron more in management of the bladder, because it has less antimuscarinic side effects, which is really important in the MS patient population.
Kirsty: And what will you be able to take home to your patients after this conference?
Kate: So maybe I'll feel a little bit more confident in talking to a female patient – and male patients – in regard to family planning and when we should be stopping disease modifying therapies, yeah.

So, this is a completely non-RV-related post. Feel free to ignore it ... unless you happen to like tea.
Today, Linda and Sandy had a tea party.
You see, Linda met Sandy many years ago (late 1990s I believe) when Linda decided to become a sales consultant for PartyLite a direct sales company which sells premium candles and candle-related home accessories. Through mutual friends, we happened to know the highest earning person in PartyLite, and after spending a weekend on her houseboat on Lake Cumberland, Linda decided it was time to dip her toe back in the direct sales world (Linda was once a Mary Kay lady in the early years of our marriage).
Sandy had done a home party for Linda, and Linda signed up under Sandy's leadership. Linda loved the products and sales were easy. It was a nice supplemental income and being the numbers guy I am, I determined if Linda sold the minimum amount and recruited the minimum number of people to earn an incentive trip each year, she would bring in about $600 a month in addition to our regular paychecks. Plus we would get to go to fabulous places we couldn't otherwise afford at the time.
After being treated like royalty on her first earned trip - to Bermuda - we were both hooked. In the subsequent years, we joined Sandy and her husband, Dale, and a core group of other PartyLite friends on trips to resorts in The Bahamas (Atlantis - Paradise Island), Cancun, Aruba, and Hawaii twice. We had so much fun together.
Plus, we were young and those incentive trips really spiced up our desire to travel and do it in style when we could. It was disappointing on later vacations when we had to handle our own luggage.
Sandy has been in and around direct sales companies since 1982 starting as a sales consultant with Jafra Cosmetics (7 years), then moving to PartyLite as a sales consultant and leader (15 years), then becoming a corporate employee of Tastefully Simple moving up from a regional manager to a national manager (12 years).
And the day after helping us out at our Spring Rally, she became the New Leader Development Specialist for Steeped Tea, a Canadian company that was featured on the Canadian version of "Shark Tank" called "Dragon's Den". You can see their original segment and a follow-up segment here: Steeped Tea on Dragon's Den.
Steeped Tea has used the direct sales strategy successfully to sell their "loose-leaf" tea blends, tea accessories, and tea party foods like scones, cheese ball mixes, and various other seasonings and toppings. Now they are increasing their expansion into the United States. Sandy is their first corporate U.S. employee, and we have no doubt that she will be successful.
So today, Linda played hostess and had a tea party here at Sandy's house. Local friends, some with direct sales backgrounds, were invited to come and have a tea party to sample teas and recipes.
Of course, Linda had to add some fun, so they created a hat making station.
The ladies created their own hat designs before the tea tasting and food part of the party began.
I think they tried six different flavors of tea, just a small fraction of the teas offered in the catalog. There are black teas, green teas, white teas, organic teas, veggie teas, fruit teas, herbal teas, Rooibos (caffeine-free) teas, and more. All are made with natural flavors and colors (i.e. there are no artificial flavors or colors) and most have no added sugar (those that do have minuscule amounts).
Of the teas Linda has tried, she likes:
- Sleepy Chai (organic Rooibos)
- Chocolate Chip Mint (Rooibos)
- Earl Grey de le Creme (black)
- Amaretto (Rooibos)
- Kiwi Passion Fruit (green)
- Peaches and Cream (white)
I tried the Caramel Apple Cheese Ball, and it was delicious.
Of course the catalog is sixty pages and there are well over a hundred different teas.
Apparently it was a very nice party, and Linda got a bunch of free tea as the hostess.
So if you or any of your friends are tea aficionados, and you are interested in Steep Tea products, hosting a party, finding a party near you, or becoming a Steep Tea consultant and earning a little extra income from your tea passion, contact Sandy and you'll be in great hands.
Sandy Huckleberry, New Leader Development Specialist
Linda & I have both been involved in direct sales at one time or another (I actually sold Tupperware during my college years), and one thing we know is the opportunities are best in the early stages of company growth. And with Steeped Tea only being in the U.S. for four years and Sandy being the first U.S. corporate employee, I'd say the U.S. opportunities are pretty good right now if you have any desire to go that route.
Perhaps it's a way for folks on the road to make a little extra cash, so maybe this post is RV-related after all. :)

Hotels, pubs and restaurants have been forced to tighten their belts as profit margins dry up despite a surge in trade, according to figures from the CBI.
Volumes in the consumer services sector, which also includes the travel and leisure industries, rose again over the three months to August – at their fastest rate for six years.
But profitability dropped unexpectedly as price growth stalled and jobs also fell, the survey showed.
The findings may suggest that firms faced with rising costs are not passing them on to customers amid tough competitive conditions.
Meanwhile, figures from business and professional services – including accountancy, law and marketing – painted a rosier picture, with both volumes and profitability up.
The data is the latest indicator of the health of the British economy after revised official figures last week showed it grew by 0.7% in the second quarter, better than previously thought.
Services, the powerhouse of the economy, represent three-quarters of output and have been central to leading the UK out of the doldrums, so a continued acceleration in volume growth will be welcome.
But signs of a drop-off in profitability among consumer-focused firms may add to fears about the sustainability of the recovery.
Stephen Gifford, CBI director of economics, said confidence had risen strongly across the services sector and the outlook was positive in the short term.
"But consumer services firms are a bit more worried about the longer term, and have scaled back their investment and expansion plans," he added.
"Conditions remain tricky as households grapple with the prolonged squeeze on real incomes and business confidence remains vulnerable to any adverse developments in the global economy."
The survey found that a balance of 15% of companies in consumer services saw business volumes grow, a level that has not been reached since August 2007. Optimism was also high, with a positive reading of 28%.
However, fewer firms saw profitability increase than saw it decrease – giving a negative 15% reading, the worst since February last year, with a further fall expected over the next three months.
Numbers employed also slid and are expected to fall further, while businesses are more likely not to expand over the following year.
The business and professional services sector saw a positive volume growth reading of 20%, the best since November 2007, with optimism also up, as well as profitability and jobs, and a growing likelihood of expansions.
The CBI findings came from a survey of 97 business and professional services firms and 64 consumer services firms.

Most organizations are cost-conscious to a fault. In fact, a goodly number of organizations are working against their customers and parts of their own organizations. CFOs state that "costs must be controlled or cut back". This creates a culture of suboptimization where individuals focus on their own span of control to cut costs thus negatively affects others. Management sets cost savings goals without guidance on how to do it intelligently. For instance, a servicing portion of a company cuts proactive customer service to save costs thus negatively impacting customer satisfaction and the sale of new products or services. It is true insanity to manage costs to the point to impact revenues. What are the symptoms or results of unguided or constrained cost-cutting efforts?
Slave to Metrics:
While it is important to measure, some organizations measure too much and expect all the numbers to move in a direction set by management. This creates a mentality that forgets common sense. Let's look at the Boeing 737 Max. Management set an impossible schedule and forced reuse of an existing airframe. While bigger engines were added, the software that compensated for the effect of these engines and placement were short-changed. The software development was completed by the lowest cost resources that were not great at excellent testing practices. Boeing also cut redundant measuring devices making it a higher cost option for the airlines. Suboptimal cost-cutting had tragic results. The metrics of Boeing and the airlines came first.
Culture of Lower Quality:
Boeing also did not develop simulators or require airlines to do so. Instead, some light training was put in tablets for pilots. Boeing sold the idea that real simulation and training was not necessary as the 737 Max so similar to existing 737 fight behavior. Additionally, many airlines are configuring this new 737s in a way to cut customer comfort from seats to bathroom sizes. There is plenty of this kind of quality reduction in every industry to the point of inflicting pain on customers and employees.
Customer Neglect/Bad Experiences:
Most organizations are optimized for organizational outcomes and business processes that benefit the organization at the expense of the customer. Smart organizations are now additionally focusing on customer journeys and customer goals. Brilliant organizations are looking at their organization's role in the complete customer journey. Organizations, wrongly so, think that they are the center of the customer's journey or experience. An example would be mortgage companies believing that the loan process is the center of buying and settling into a new home. While one can appreciate a faster and easier loan process is good, it is only one piece of the real journey.
Immediate Gratification:
The mistake that most CPAs commit is to think short term cost-cutting is always a good thing. While the effect might please the existing management and help stock values in the short term, there could be long term impacts. Some times looking at the long term impacts and balancing customer outcomes with automation results is really the good thing. Obviously, there will be role and goal conflicts that include costs, but the CPAs should not have the last say.
Missed Opportunities:
The focus on cost containment and short term result run headlong into the need for investments necessary to be future-ready. In this day and age of digital transformation, investments are needed now. Certainly, automation investments seem like a good deal for the CPA, but other investments are necessary to keep ahead or up to competitive levels. If the economy heads in another direction, then the window for digital investments that are not automation focused will be closing quickly. Invest in digital separation while the time is right.
Net; Net:
Cost micromanagement without regard to long term or important investments ruins organizational cultures and beats down innovation. It also loses business as exhibited by recent cancelled orders for the 737 Max. It's time to move from "CPA Insanity" to organizations that are crazy smart by creating customer excellence while automating.

Probiotics: The Friendly Bacteria
Author: Shannon Miller Lifestyle
Probiotics have been dubbed as the "friendly bacteria."
They boost your immune system and help aid with digestion.
But what exactly are probiotics?
Amy C. Brown, PhD, RD, associate professor in the department of complementary and alternative medicine at the John A. Burns School of Medicine at the University of Hawaii in Honolulu cites that "Probiotics are foods that contain live bacteria or other organisms that may promote your health, and they are naturally found in fermented dairy products and other fermented foods or beverages." Probiotics are also available in a supplement form.
You may be surprised at the number of things that probiotics can be used to help with:
- Diarrhea from infection, food poisoning, or antibiotics
- Treat urinary tract infections
- Prevent or treat yeast infections
- Irritable bowel syndrome
- Inflammatory bowel disease
- Eczema
- Reduce the risk of bladder cancer returning
- Protect against colon cancer
- Improve the immune system
The research on probiotics is relatively new and it is not yet clear if there is a risk in having too much. In addition, many people are not aware of the proper storing of probiotics and that they must be kept refrigerated.
Brown emphasizes that while probiotics are available in a supplement, it is better to get them from your diet.
Here are few of the recommended foods that contain probiotics:
- Dairy products with live cultures, such as yogurt or buttermilk
- Miso soup, which is made from fermented soybean paste
- Poi, fermented taro root paste
- Natto, fermented soy beans
- Tempeh, caked fermented soybeans
- Sauerkraut, fermented cabbage
- Kombucha tea, fermented sweet tea brew
TIP: Although, there is some buzz surrounding possible weight loss and probiotics, the real benefit of taking it should be geared more toward your well-being rather than losing weight.

Below is my rating system. Knives in place of stars. Five being the highest and one being the lowest. No halfsies. Also, one additional caveat. I rate things based on what they are, so a five knife burger joint doesn't mean it's on par with the French Laundry. It simply means it is the best of what it's supposed to be. Apples to apples people.Top notch. Unforgettable. Usually boasts an Ultimate. Among the best of the best for whatever it is that it's supposed to be.
Excellent. The hits outweigh the misses. Consistently strong all around. And might even have an Ultimate under its belt.
I like it. It might be a little hit and miss, but the overall experience nets out as a positive for me.
Overrated. Not worth a special trip. Not terrible either, but there are dozens of other places more deserving of your hard-earned cash.
Terrible. A complete waste of your time and calories. I'd rather eat bull testicles and sheep intestines again. And yes, there was a first time.

ABPM Exhibits at the American College of Physicians Internal Medicine Conference
By: Mitchell Shikoff, DPM
This past April I had the opportunity, along with our assistant Executive Director, Marc Benard, DPM, to exhibit at the American College of Physicians Internal Medicine Conference in Philadelphia, PA. This conference is the largest medical seminar in the country. It is attended by over 11,000 physicians yearly representing countries from around the globe. This was part of our outreach to medical specialties to showcase the ABPM and the benefits of incorporating ABPM diplomates into treatment plans for their patients with lower extremity pathologies. Our attendance was received enthusiastically by the conference organizers and the hundreds of physicians who came to our booth. We were told repeatedly about the value of podiatrists to the individual practitioners and their respective hospitals. Many contacts were made and referrals recommended for ABPM diplomates around the United States.
We also had the opportunity to monitor some of the lectures and clinical skills breakout sessions. I was able to make contacts with the organizers of the conference to investigate the inclusion of speakers from the ABPM in future seminars. Dr. Benard and I submitted a proposal for the ABPM to conduct clinical skills sessions to the conference organizing committee. I am happy to report that our proposal was accepted and, in fact, a request was made by the committee for an even larger role than our proposal.
It is our belief that this is the first time that podiatry has been represented at their conference and will be the first time that podiatry will become part of the faculty.
We are following up on this success with our attendance at the second largest medical seminar in the country at the end of this September. We will be exhibiting at the American College of Family Physicians conference in Philadelphia.
We see these outreach methods as a value added service to our diplomates and a grass roots effort at achieving parity in the medical community.

1. Go to a drive-in movie theater.
Love is a battlefield, and I'm unarmed.
Forum » Chew The Fat » Retro Bucket List
What things do you think every lover of retro pop culture should experience at least once in his or her lifetime? What things do you think fans of retro pop culture would enjoy experiencing? Let's make a list.
Quote Disable Sigs
I would say watching every John Hughes film at least once.
You love this signature.
Another one would be to meet a celebrity from a TV show or movie that was a big part of your youth. With a lot of pop culture conventions popping up all over the place, this one is more doable now than ever before.
Superman wrote :My goal since boyhood, was to meet Arnold Schwarzenegger. He was my role model growing up and I finally saw both him and Sylvester Stallone a couple years ago at a movie theater in San Diego
Getting slimed and meeting the original Power Rangers.
echidna64 wrote :
Cool! My big retro celebrity encounters to date are Tracy Scoggins, Margot Kidder, and Cerina Vincent, all of which I met at conventions. It's really a surreal experience to meet someone you admired as a child, isn't it?
Eating at a 50's style diner or a restaurant from a retro movie/tv show (like Tom's Diner from Seinfeld, for example)
The women of New Vegas ask me a lot if there's a Mrs. New Vegas. Well, of course there is! You're her. And you're still just as perfect as the day we met.
Meeting the MST3K gang, Mike, Kevin and Bill.
You love this signature.
echidna64 wrote :Did you actually meet him? What were the circumstances? Arnold is pretty much the only celeb I'd wait in line for aside from The Rock and possibly Will Smith.
I think visiting film locations of your favorite movies is a good bucket list item. This January I went to the Christmas Story house which was awesome.
vkimo wrote :I had a part-time job at a movie theater in San Diego (gotta pay the rent somehow!). It was a very cool job and during Comic Con ALL of the new film screenings were at our theater. So we had lots of celebrities come in to surprise fans of the film.
As an employee, we were instructed not to interact with the celebrities. Anyhow, Arnold came in to the empty theater lobby all by himself like a badass and was literally ten feet away from me. We looked at each other and did a nod and smile. Later on, he was about to go in to a movie theater and one of his security detail said no and Arnold I shit you not said, "Don't be a girly man" LOL
Go to a concert where a band or solo artist you were into during your youth is performing.

21 Months have passed since our very first whirlwind 3 days at Desire RM as newbies and 10 months have passed since our second 6 day trip. During this entire time Desire has been a major topic of conversation since our very first visit. What did we used to talk about before we discovered this wonderful place? If someone was to challenge us NOT to mention Desire for more than ONE day, we would fail
We reminisce about how much we enjoy the disco nights and sexy outfits; our lazy days by the pool in the sunshine; exciting moments together in the sea and Jacuzzi time. Everywhere we go we connect something to Desire, an outfit, a phrase or a word.
What is this power that Desire has over us that makes us long to be there? 27 months ago, we didn't even know a place such as Desire existed. 22 months ago we nearly cancelled the holiday because I was so concerned about where we were going. Now 21 months later we cannot get Desire out of our minds.
We often ask ourselves, could it be the fact that Desire is our best kept secret? A secret that makes us look at each other in a crowd and makes us smile. The smile that says 'I know what you're thinking'. A secret we would love to share but a secret we cannot and will not share. A secret which is ever so exciting because it is our secret. Having a secret you don't want to share is an unprecedented feeling; it's fun, it's naughty, it's sexy, it's empowering, it's desirable and we want to hold on to it and never let go. Our long distance relationship has continued to flourish, our secret keeps our relationship alive and we may live apart but we feel closer than ever.
We are yet to book our 3rd return trip but we keep ourselves updated with what's going on by checking out the theme nights, discussing and planning outfits. We read your wonderful trip reports and wish we were there. Whatever power Desire has over us, we are longing to return but until we are able to do so, we wish you all happy holidays and we hope to be there soon.

Assange anounced more anti-Clinton info
WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange is boasting about how his group's release of hacked Democratic National Committee emails is affecting the US presidential election - and says it has unreleased information about Hillary Clinton's campaign.
"We have more material related to the Hillary Clinton campaign," Assange told CNN's Anderson Cooper on "Anderson 360" Friday night. "That is correct to say that."
Assange has been coy about how WikiLeaks came into possession of internal Democratic party cyber information. The FBI and Justice Department are investigating a computer hack of Democratic nominee Clinton's presidential campaign in addition to its examination of intrusions of other Democratic Party organizations, two law enforcement officials told CNN.
The revelation comes just days after the leak of thousands of Democratic National Committee emails -- US officials allege Russian hackers -- prompted major turmoil within the party, causing the abrupt resignation of its chairwoman, Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz.
