text: by Tracy Schmidt in Money Management on Friday, April 3, 2015 This begs the question: Are you ready to accept chip cards from your patients? Learn more about this new payment card and how it works. What is EMV? The EMV card was named after its developers — Europay, MasterCard, and Visa. It is much like a traditional card but with enhanced security, which is why more than 80 countries** have adopted it. EMV cards are embedded with a microprocessor chip, which stores and protects cardholder data. Each time the card is used, the chip creates a unique transaction code that cannot be used again. How do you use it? EMV cards are read in a slightly different way than cards with a magnetic stripe. Depending on the card, your patients will use one of these two methods: Inserting: Similar to using an ATM, customers will insert their cards into the machine until the transaction is completed. Tapping or Waving: Near Field Communication (NFC) card reading allows the customer to simply tap or wave the card near the reader. Because the transition to EMV is anticipated to be a gradual one, most issuers are sending out new cards that contain both a chip and a magnetic stripe. Chip processing is preferred because it is more secure, but the swipe method can be used as a backup if the chip or chip reader isn't functioning. As the transition to EMV nears, you may want to consider a terminal that can process insert and tap-and-go payments. Similar to traditional payment cards, most transactions will require either a signature or PIN number to verify the payment. For now, most card issuers will offer chip-and-signature cards, as many processors are not yet equipped for the chip-and-PIN cards. When will the transition happen? Card associations have set a compliance deadline for October 1, 2015. This doesn't mean you must have EMV-compatible terminals by October. After the deadline, however, if your business doesn't have EMV terminals you will be liable for fraudulent charges should they occur. What we're doing to help our D.C. merchant customers? Software allowing merchants to accept EMV chip cards is still being developed. NCMIC is monitoring these software developments and testing EMV terminals for our customers, looking at ease of use and compatibility with future software updates. Be careful of EMV offers NCMIC encourages all D.C.s to be careful of EMV equipment and terminal offers which seem too good to be true. These offers can come from unscrupulous agents or sales organizations in an attempt to get you to switch processors and may be tied to long term equipment leases or end up costing you in the form of higher processing rates and fees if you switch. If you have questions regarding the EMV transition or preparedness, we invite you to call us at 800-437-0712. * www.creditcards.com/credit-card-news/emv-faq-chip-cards-answers-1264.php ** www.emvco.com/documents/EMVCo_EMV_Deployment_Stats1.pdf Recommended The Right Accounting System Earns its Keep POSTED IN Money Management Economic Matters: Building Up Reserves for When Things Get Tough POSTED IN Money Management Economic Matters: Paying Down Debt to Help Your Practice POSTED IN Money Management See More Articles Tags chip card credit card processing About the Author Tracy Schmidt Tracy Schmidt, vice president & general manager, NCMIC Finance Corporation, is responsible for all aspects of the merchant credit card processing business, as well as for the MilesAway credit card program offered by NCMIC.

Knife Crime and Gunshot Trauma
A recent home office review has stated:-
"First of all, one of the most consistent findings is that homicide, like most other violent crime and predatory property crime, is strongly associated with poverty and social inequality. This suggests that preventive strategies focused upon particular offences should be complemented by, and complementary to, broader long-term initiatives against poverty and social exclusion."
This recognises a move towards a more co-ordinated approach. More fundamentally, the link between crime and
deeper structural causes of inequality, poverty and social disaffection needs to be fully acknowledged and acted upon if the solutions are to be more than cosmetic and short term.

Advisory Board
One of the most powerful tools and best kept secrets for growing businesses is the use of an Advisory Board. dbkAssociates has formed its advisory board in the same spirit that it indicates to our clients that they should consider such a business advantage for themselves.
You can meet our advisory board members on the pages "below" this page.
And here's a bit of history from our "old" site, the news release of the incorporation:
"As markets change, your strengths quickly become your weaknesses."
March 15, 2002 — Dana Point, CA
Senior executives announced today that a new firm was established dedicated to improving management practices for corporations in the Orange County area. dbkAssociates, Inc. in Irvine was founded by Mr. David B. Kinnear and he was joined by several other senior management executives to provide these services.
Change Management Consulting and Business Process Reengineering.
Mr. Kinnear has more than thirty-two years of experience in the high technology business sector with an emphasis on semiconductor products and customers. His experience in this field is both extensive and diverse covering several disciplines including cross-functional change management, business process analysis and improvement, application engineering management, business development, and application of information technology to business needs in supply chain management.
Mr. Kinnear has used his leadership skills to guide business units in several of the world's largest semiconductor manufacturers. In those positions, he has successfully improved cash flow through redesigning the business process for non-recurring engineering charges for Application Specific Integrated Circuit design and positioned processes to reduce costs in the supply chain transactions by more than $1.2 Million per year. In the area of application engineering, David successfully integrated the Business Development and Technical Staff for a microcontroller and microprocessor line to provide improved customer service, reduce the levels of management, and increase before-tax-profit of the product line.
In the area of information technology, Mr. Kinnear was instrumental in the cross-functional change management required to implement a customer service oriented supply chain management system for the U.S. based company of the world's second largest semiconductor manufacturer. This system is widely viewed as the basis for a new global supply chain management system for that corporation.
As CEO of dbkAssociates, Inc., Mr. Kinnear provides Business Development consulting services for a wide variety of organizations including a medical information startup. In addition, Mr. Kinnear's leadership skills have been applied to the nonprofit world as he currently Chairs the Orange County chapter of a national organization and serves as President for a small not-for-profit organization in Mission Viejo, CA. Mr. Kinnear holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering as well as Master of Business Administration.

The metalworking industry celebrated its comeback with visitors from more than 80 countries. In addition, AMB 2010 set a new record with 1,346 exhibitors (2008: 1,306).

The agricultural sector comprising the Meat Board of Namibia, Agronomic Board, the Namibian Agricultural Union (NAU) and Namibia National Farmers Union (NNFU visited State House to discuss the planned food bank just before the President Hage Geingob launched the much-welcomed initiative in Katutura.
The food bank is an initiative of the Ministry of Poverty Eradication and Social Welfare to help needy persons and communities "not to sleep hungry". President Geingob again emphasised that he dreams of a Namibian house in which all citizens are accommodated and no one feels left out. Unfortunately, the reality is that in spite of peace and stability, there are still many people who go to bed hungry and this could threaten the political peace and stability. An overview was given of what the planned food bank should entail. It will be more than a building in which food is stored and processed and would entail street committees to determine really needy people. The cut-off point for people to qualify is N$400 per household and it is specifically these people who have to be assisted.
The ministry has already formed 17 and 21 street committees in two communities in Windhoek. This serves as a pilot project for expansion to other areas and regions. Patricia Gurubes of the Meat Board pointed out that the Meat Board has decided to contribute N$50 000 to this initiative. She however also made use of this opportunity to bring to the attention of the President the negative effect which the closure of the border for the export of livestock to South Africa will have on agriculture. She thus requested the President to intervene in the matter on a political level. Her sentiments were echoed by the President of the NAU, Ryno van der Merwe.
Van der Merwe informed Geingob that even though NAU supports this initiative, they are concerned about the logistics, especially in case of farmers contributing fresh mear to the foodbank. President Geingob emphasised that the meeting was not meant to put anybody under pressure but to sensitise the agricultural sector pointing out that participation in the food bank will be completely voluntary.

The cornerstone of our trip down to Miami for Spring Break was a short three day cruise on the Norwegian Sky. It was first put into service in 1999, it was revamped in 2004 to become the Pride of Aloha to service week-long Hawaiian cruises for four years. Four years later, it returned to Miami, retook its original name, and now works the Caribbean seas. Capable of holding 2,002 passengers, this 77,104 ton cruise ship is the youngest and highest-quality ship to offer 3 and 4 day cruises to the Bahamas, which is the trip we took.
Overall I was very pleased with the cruise with one exception, which NCL can't control. It was windy our entire trip, which made staying on the pool deck a lot harder, and prevented us from landing at Great Stirrup Cay, their private island.
The itinerary was short and simple:
- Friday – Depart Miami at 5PM
- Saturday – Arrive at Nassau at 8 AM, depart at 6 PM
- Sunday – Arrive at Great Stirrup Cay at 8AM, depart at 5 PM
- Monday – Arrive at Miami at 7AM
Stinks we didn't get to check out Great Stirrup Cay though. 🙁
Getting on the ship was easy and reminded me of our NCL cruise out of Philadelphia, that time we were bound for Bermuda. Our ship departed at 5PM and we were on board by the early afternoon. You simply take your luggage (we just had carry-on, since it was a shorter cruise) into the boarding area, fill out some paper work, and walk up for processing. The waiting area is huge but there were very few people waiting and the four of us were processed in what seemed like less than 15 minutes.
Our stateroom was exactly what we expected out of an interior stateroom. A snug 121 square foot window-less room with a converted double bed, bathroom, fridge, minisafe, and television. I never really care about accommodations on a cruise because I feel that you shouldn't be spending that much time in your room anyway. The fun is in exploring the ship, enjoying it's entertainment, and running around on shore.
Dining Options
The food was OK, not as good as when we went on a 7-day cruise to Bermuda, but it wasn't bad. The only downside to the food options on the cruise was that both "regular" sit down restaurants served the exact same menu and we heard, from other passengers, that the upcharge restaurants weren't really worth it. Food at the restaurants was good though, with plenty of options regardless of your preferences. The buffets were convenient, tasty enough, but lacked imagination. I don't recommend going to the buffets for dinners as the restaurants are much better.
Freestyle Cruising
I've only taken cruises on two cruise lines, Norwegian Cruise Lines and Carnival. On Carnival we had scheduled dinners and we prefer NCL's Freestyle Cruising option much better. We aren't antisocial or anything but we found that having scheduled times restricts what you can do. While on this particular cruise we were in port from 8AM to 5PM, meaning we were always on the ship at dinnertime, in the past we've been on cruises where you had to pick a dinner time that conflicted with port time.
Affordably Priced Beer Buckets
I was surprised how affordable the beer buckets were. It was $5 a beer, 16 oz. Bud Lights or other domestics, and you got a freebie with a purchase of five. It's not "cheap" but it's certainly better than you'd expect at a movie theater or ballpark. They were bar prices and we were pleased not to get ripped off while we were a captive customer! 🙂
$5 bucket deposits? Really? I understand the need to have a deposit, so that people don't take these things (I'm not sure why anyone would but I suppose people would if it were free), but five bucks? We bought a bunch of buckets during our trip and were diligently returning them each time but we still needed to talk to the "front desk" at the end of our cruise to get a $5 deposit returned. One of the bartenders suggested that we just keep the bucket, trading it in each time, but we declined and had to wait fifteen minutes to get it cleared up. I wasn't the only one in line.
As I wrote earlier, overall I was pleased with the trip and had a great time. Even the captive day on the ship, as we floated around and looked for sun, where we spent most of our time in the casino, sitting on the pool deck, or playing games in the buffet restaurant, were fun times. I'm glad it was a shorter cruise as I was once again reminded of how stir crazy I can get on a boat, but winning a few hundred dollars in the casino made me feel like I benefited from missing Great Stirrup Cay!
We will have a post about the various places we went to on Nassau in a future post, as well as Martha's impressions of the cruise!

WASHINGTON – So much for retirement. Joaquin Phoenix is back.
The actor's strange 2009 interview on Letterman seemed to signal the end of his career, only to be followed a year later by a film that showed his bizarre behavior was a hoax.
After a two-year hiatus, a trailer for "The Master" has just been released, teasing the newest production by Paul Thomas Anderson, who directed other alt-flicks such as "Punch-Drunk Love," "Boogie Nights," and "There Will Be Blood." Eerie music and an incongruous character played by Phoenix seem to be right up both film veterans' alleys.
While details on the film remain murky, critics speculate the post-war philosophical thriller follows somewhat the beginnings of Scientology. A religious figure played by Philip Seymour Hoffman takes a troubled sailor in Phoenix' adrift character under his wing through a new school of belief.
Scientology founder and science fiction writer L. Ron Hubbard himself had a shaky military history before establishing the religion in the 1950s.
The film is slated for release in October. Check out the trailer:

One of Heather's best gifts ever was my seam ripper. Is one of those things I would have never bought myself and one of those things I was almost afraid to use. But sewing with her on a Sunday, I learned three things.
One, even if it feels painful, it is always better to undo a seam that has gone wrong, because the result at the end is much, much better.
Two, sometimes, you don't have to pin fabrics to sew them together.
Three, never try to finish a job when you are tired at the end of the evening.
Today, as I use the seam ripper for the third time, I think all of those wounds that I didn't open because of the pain. Today I know, it is better to get the air and sun to heal them and then, sew them nicely. And also,I don't need to have a pinned plan.
So, in honor of the spring and all the lessons learned, I'm taking my sewing outside, and I'm going to seam open all that I sow yesterday, under the sun.

Post office and doubts
So today was the final day to sent the parcel of the Friends Swap. I felt so nervous!!! It was my first swap, and I felt like it was a culminating point of some kind. I enjoyed all the process, meeting my partner, exchanging emails and thinking about the letters and the possible gifts. I made some things "for the first time in my life" for her. I always find that with friends, there are always a lot of things that you do for the first time, and I wanted to infuse the swap with that ideology. I have been really gifted with an amazing partner, and today, for the first time, I felt some doubts: what if what I had thought, made and sent wasn't worthy of her? She can make magic with fabric, and I'm just starting! I didn't want her to feel let down on any way. I hope my parcel makes her smile and feel loved when she receives it. I put all my heart, even if my techniques are not as good as hers. I can't talk too much, because she hasn't received it yet, and even if I wanted, I can't post with photos (partial ones, just to show a color, like a clue) because I have to untangle the mess of photos in my computer first. I am really excited, and it felt really good to go to the post office with my package, thinking about her face when she will open it. Will she like it? Hope so!

Belated page. There has been a lot of action in the house recently, family lost members found, babies, softball games, sewing, knitting, crocheting, friends coming back from long and far trips, other friends moving, government papers to send... So I haven't finished the two books I was reading from the library, and what is worse (or better, as I see it) I started a new one. My sister-in-love brought me Twilight, and I must confess I'm caught!. So, if you please will be patient, tomorrow morning I will make my monthly contribution :)

Turn the page.. Tuesday
Well, I'm posting this on Monday night because tomorrow I have to get in a plane and I won't have time until the night, with a little bit of luck, to read the other pages...
As I have mentioned before, the books chose us. They find us and get their way into our lives.
This book saw me when I was waiting for my student. She was late, and I got to read two chapters before she appeared. She looked curious about what I was reading, I told her about the book, and she secretly bought it for me, my birthday was the next day we had class.
I love the stories that the books in the shelves have.
The book for June is Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet, by Jamie Ford.
As the Panama Hotel owner discovers the belongings of Japanese families, left when they were sent to internment camps during World War !, Henry Lee, widow, father, makes another amazing discovery: The owner shows to the press a Japanese parasol, and opens it, taking Henry to 1940, to Keiko and his first love.
He is convinced that the parasol was hers, and searches the hotel for clues about her family, for his voice, for a long-lost, invaluable object. Set both in 1942 and 1986, the novel goes back and forth, explaining the past, unravelling the present.
But this novel is also made of little moments: of a jasmine smell, a can of pears, a photography never taken...
The story makes us keep reading, and the details, embroider the pleasure of the trip...
Just a quick note: Adrienne, I never made it to my May(d) by me... I got the patterns, though. So maybe, just may(be), I will get to sew the summer clothes before the summer gets here...
As with books, we continue living, but the small moments, the peas getting bigger in the pod, the kiss of a loved one, the sound of rain, is what brings us pleasure. Happy June to all.

Full of memories day
My swap friend send me the link to this giveaway, you have to write about how your perfect quilt shop will be, good luck!
Link: http://yellowbirdart.blogspot.com/2009/05/winners-new-stuff-to-give-away.html
This memorial day, for some reason, is full os memories to me. Maybe it is that is has benn cloudy for days, of that the green in the trees has a magical color, maybe it is because the whole city is silent, even with the Bolder Boulder and rubber duck race... I feel melancholic, i made some "crepes-pancake" with coconut milk and my husband and my dog loved them. I burned the left index finger, I eel like writing, like being silent, just looking out to the quiet trees...

Turn the page... Tuesday
Believe or not, my eye catched the title of the book in the library when I was looking for somethng else. This is the complete title: The delighted States, a Book of Novels, Romances, and Their Unkown Translators, containing Ten Languages, Set on Four Continents, and Accompanied by Maps, Portraits, Squiggles, Illustrations, and a Variety of Helpful Indexes. The author that came with this title is Adam Thirlwell. And the book hides other suprises too, if you put it upside down and give it a 360 degrees turn, it turns ito the translation of Madesmoille O, a story by vladimir Nabokov, translated by Thirlwell first to the English and then to French.
I'm not trying to scare you, the book is one of hte freshest I have ever seen, it reads like fiction, and as I always say, life is far more interesting than ficition itself. I love the introductory scene, for example, the description of a suitcase, and all the places it has travelled to. Or the story of the first and lost translation of Madam Bovary to the English, made by Flaubert himself and his French tutor, a woman that caused him some problems in stairs and dinners...
This is a novel inside of a novel, and the authors, are sometimes the characters too. Some of the people that inhabits his little atlas are Jorge Luis Borges, Flaubert, Sterne, Tolstoy, James Joyce, Jane Austen, William Hogarth, MIguel de Cervantes, Vladimir Nabokov, Madame Bovary, Alexander the Emperor, Alice in Worderland, Berlin, Kafka and other men and women, main characters, cities, cafes,
This is the story ot the untold stories, of the misteries unveiled, of the relationships and serendipities that formed what we know now as the literary world. The equivalent will be seeing the characters of a circus before they get out of the curtains, but not only that, knowing their parents, their trips, the things that moved them...
The books has a collection of photographs, and some of them, I have never seen before (as Nabokov sunbathing, for example)
This is a little delightful book, or as the author calls it "a description of a milky way, an aurora borealis"

A new baby's blanket
My friend Yoli is having a baby!!!! the girl will be with us in the summer, her name will be Jimena. I'm so happy for Yoli, she will be the best mom ever!!! As soon as I got the email with the image of Jimena in her belly, I started this project for her. I'm knitting pink and green squares (both of us love lively colors) and will join them in a quilt-like shape. On the other side, I'm planning on the cherries flannel print, so soft! I will make a bib too, with the flannel, the green fabric for a contrast pocket and the little pink pom-poms around to entertain little Jimena.
Yoli va a ser mama!!!! Jimena nacera en verano. Yoli va a ser la mejor mama del mundo, seguro. Tan pronto como recibi el email con la ecografia de Jimena en su pancita, empece a tejer este edredon para ella. Esta hecho de cuadritos rosa y verde que voy tejiendo por las noches, y por el otro lado pondre la tela de franela verde con cerezas. Voy a hacer un babero tambien con la misma tela los pompones. Seguro que se entretiene ientras come!

Turn the page... Tuesday
Long time ago, I started to keep journals about the books I read. The starting lines (the ones that always get me into further reading), quotes, characters, images... Later on, I started working for a magazine and a bookshop, so reading was an important part of my life. Nowadays, I still keep the journals, I still read. But sometimes, Life happens, at a speed that no device, no matter how modern, can record. That's what has been happening in my week, and that's why, I'm late for the Turn the Page... Tuesday. Sorry, I'm normally not like this, but there were so many things in these few days (several mountain lions, classes that ended, classes that started, a lesson on violets, a promise kept... among others) that I wasn't able to post on Tuesday. Will you forgive me? There it goes, my belated contribution to our reading experiment.
The Guernsey Library and Potato Peel Society
by, Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows. The Dial Press, New York, 2008. 274 pages.
"Dear Sidney,
Susan Scott is a wonder. We sold over forty copies of the book, which was very pleasant, but much more thrilling from my standpoint was the food. Susan managed to procure ration coupons for icing sugar and real egg for the meringue."
This is how the book starts, and so does, the first letter. The Guernsey... is an epistolar book, composed only by letters, the common theme of all of them is a love for the written word. Some of the characters publish books, some write them, some are passionate readers. And we enter into their lives in the first person, in that intimate voice that is only tendered in a letter, in the lost art of writing a letter. We discover about love, about how to survive the war years and the years after the war with the maximum amount of joy available. We learn about lovers lost and lovers found, about a pig that shouldn't be there and about the invention of the organic cake. All of it, with a delicious sense of humor. After having read one or two letters, you feel totally immersed in the times and lives of the characters, and all the surprises are yet to come. I loved this book, since the moment someone left it (intentionally, I hope) in my house, and I saw the stamps and the sea. It was calling me, the way only the books can call.

Sam here! I had the honor of attending our dear friends, James and Sheridan's wedding last weekend in Avila at See Canyon Fruit Ranch. It was such a beautiful day, complete with some country flare (after all the bride and groom's first meeting was line dancing). We were also honored to have my husband as James best man, I couldn't help but get involved too with some zestin' love. Check out this fun chandelier I made for their wedding…
First off you need mason jars with lids (we did bright blue because teal was in the wedding colors) and then some twine, fabric, burlap and a lamp wire frame.
Next I started tearing the strips of fabric and tying them around the frame, but the white was a little too bright up against the shabby chic aged barn. So we did this great technique- vanilla!! Buy cheap imitation vanilla (you can get a big jug at smart n final) and spray the vanilla on fabric (this would work on lace, doilies, you name it). Then let sit in sun and dry. Not sure what I love more about this technique, how great and easy it is or how great the fabric smells after, vanilllaaaa…mmmmmmm.
Next I added strips of burlap in between each fabric strip to add more texture.
Time to tie the mason jars up, I tied the twine to the lids and then just screwed the outer lid on. Be sure to cut different lengths to add for more visual appeal.
Flip on your battery operated lights and drop inside jar…
And now for some fun pics from the wedding!
Wahoooo, victory!!
Guns and Roses- legit.
Also loved the bouquets, might be hard to tell in the picture since the girls are out of order but the flowers in the bouquet go from most white with bride down the row from maid of honor onward. Ombre bouquets!
Managed to snag this cute best man for a pic too! Congratulations to James and Sheridan!!!

Google took a look and decided it didn't want to buy the New York Times Company (NYT). But that doesn't mean it isn't trying to help the newspaper and others like it.
We hear Google (GOOG) continues to hold talks with New York Times chairman Arthur Sulzberger, who visited Google's Mountain View, Calif. headquarters last month.
Related: "All The Things People Thought Google Would Do But It Hasn't" →
We're not aware of any definite plans coming out of those meetings, only what one source called "one or two different models that people are curious about."
They were:
- A potential agreement in which any time Google's search crawlers find a Web site carrying New York Times content and Google ads, Google would split the revenue it gets from those ads with the Times.
- Google would somehow help the New York Times actually embed ads within its text so that when blogs or other Web sites use that text, the ads go with it. We have no idea how Google and the Times would do this. Neither does our source.
A New York Times spokesperson told us: "We have been collaborating with Google for quite some time and we continue to discuss a number of potential projects with them."
On Monday, the Washington Post reported its CEO, Donald Graham, and Google CEO Eric Schmidt "have been holding talks about a possible collaboration."

Happy New Year everyone! 2016 was a rough year for a lot of people, but I have nothing but hope, optimism, and excitement for 2017. Why might that be?
For starters, I'm in the final stages of getting the Dream Girl sequel ready for publication. I have received editorial notes from my incredible editor. I am also working with an insanely talented graphic designer to get the cover together. (That will be coming soon and you are going to love it!) I will also being getting edits from another trusted editor. Then I'll revise based on their notes, send to my all star proofreader, and then it's off for typesetting and voila! A new book is born! This is the year!
Now that the release year is here, I thought it'd be the perfect time to finally tell you some things.
1. The book is not called Dream Girl 2. It has its own name. With the cover artwork in production as we speak, the whole endeavor has become very real to me. I know what this beauty is going to look like. It isn't final, so I can't reveal that today (soon, I promise!) but I wanted to share my excitement by announcing to you, my loyal readers, friends, and family. The sequel, and conclusion, to Dream Girl is called Dream Frequency!
2. At this point, the release date is this April. While that might sound like forever to you, it's frighteningly close for all the work that still has to happen to get it into production.
3. You may wonder why I'm talking about doing all this stuff. In case you are, the answer is this. The publisher of Dream Girl, has decided to take a hiatus from publishing fiction. (Yes, that's kind of a bummer.) However, I didn't want to leave you guys hanging. I didn't want to leave Christine and Gabriel hanging either. So I completed the book and through the magic of the modern publishing landscape, I'll be offering a print and ebook version of Dream Frequency. It will have the same availability as Dream Girl, so you'll find it at Amazon, BN.com, iBooks, etc. It's a big undertaking to self-publish a book, which is part of why I'm making this announcement today. I'm going to need your help! Dream Frequency now has an entry on Goodreads. It would be so incredibly helpful if you could add it to your Goodreads shelf and share it with your friends who might enjoy it. There is no better way to get the word out than word of mouth, so if you enjoyed Dream Girl, please tell your friends and let them know the sequel is almost here!
4. Thank you. Seriously. Thank you so very much. Dream Frequency would not exist without you. I have to admit, when I found out my publisher wasn't going to do fiction anymore, I lost all enthusiasm for writing this book. I started writing another book and figured I'd start fresh with that. But your comments and support kept coming. You kept asking what happens next? When will the sequel come out? And then Gabriel and Christine started whispering in my head again. I realized that you guys were out there, waiting for the end of the story, and I couldn't leave you hanging. I couldn't leave Gabriel and Christine hanging either! Even if I had to figure out how to publish it myself, this was something that needed to be done. You kept me going, whether you realize it or not, and I'm so grateful for that.
I hope your new year is starting out with magic and excitement too. Let's make it an incredible year!

Skype launched pre-paid cards in Mexico in early August and they are now bringing them to the UK. The cards come in £10 and £20 denominations and will be available for purchase from some of the UK's biggest retail store chains – Asda, Currys, PC World, Sainsburys' and WHSmith, 1,400 stores in total.
The cards will be available in the gift card sections of these stores and are a quick and easy gift you can pick up if you or your friends will be traveling abroad.
These cards are good for pretty much every Skype service, including calling mobiles and landlines on a per minute basis at 1.6p/minute or unlimited calls for a month to Europe at £5.74/month, the world (excluding China) at £9.76/month and the world plus China at £15.51/month (prices include VAT).

Getting in and out of the back seat of a car involves me unfolding myself slowly allowing each body part to get adjusted to the new position . A friend was saying that she now exercises in the morning after arising. She says that it has tremendously helped the hip pain she'd been having. In an attempt to keep the joints lubricated I've been doing a few rotations of the body parts before getting out of bed.
The Movie Stop Game Stop store sells pre-owned DVDs and games. I purchased two DVDs. One was Leslie Sansone Walk ???( She has several walking DVDs)and the other was Weight Loss Pilates. How can I go wrong at $3 each?
The Pilates DVD allows the person to pick their own level. There's Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced.
The first thing I did after removing the DVD from the shrink wrap was to sit in my recliner and watch the DVD.
I decided to do the Beginner's level since that's what I am. I'd thought Pilates would be easy. After about 10 minutes I was getting tired and feeling all of the muscle groups I haven't used. This is some serious stuff. It was kicking my butt. After 20 minutes I had to give it up. What's even more aggravating is the way the women on the DVD are not sweating as if they're actually having fun.
I didn't beat myself up. I did learn that breathing is important. The instructor constantly reminded the viewer about correct breathing patterns. I believe that incorrect breathing can cause a person to tire out pretty fast. I know that I'm guilty of holding my breath while I'm exercising. I didn't realize this until I began concentrating on the correct way.
I was also proud of myself for holding out for 20 minutes because the disk is only 30 minutes long. I plan to try it again because I did seem to gain some energy and endorphins.

The year 2013 was a pretty good one for the last remaining patches of old forests in the world.
Monstrous, forest-chomping companies like Asia Pulp and Paper and their relatives in the palm oil industry, Golden Agri Resources, both made pledges to adopt zero deforestation policies in their work. Even Wilmar Group, previously criticised widely as the worst corporation for transparency, made a similar pledge, as all three companies signed up with The Forest Trust to improve their approach to sustainable environmental management.
That's what made 2013 a good year for forests, but it begs the question, what are the members of the Consumer Goods Forum (CGF) waiting for? If these three multi-nationals can pledge to not remove important forests that are such a vital part of humanity's well being, what is holding back the stakeholders in CGF from making the same commitment right now?
According to their own website, the CGF reads is:
"… a global, parity-based industry network, driven by its members. It brings together the CEOs and senior management of over 400 retailers, manufacturers, service providers and other stakeholders across 70 countries and reflects the diversity of the industry in geography, size, product category and format. Forum member companies have combined sales of EUR 2.5 trillion. Their retailer and manufacturer members directly employ nearly 10 million people with a further 90 million related jobs estimated along the value chain."
If we could add that EUR 2.5 trillion to this $270 billion incentive that is being offered by institutional investors across the globe to companies that have anything to do with palm oil, that would be one awesome tool that could stop the chainsaws today. In 2014.
Unfortunately, that is not going to happen. While that $270 billion incentive is active and in place to reward or punish companies that have anything to do with unsustainable palm oil, the Consumer Goods Forum, through its members, are pledging to halt net deforestation not until the year 2020, which could be too late.
It is easy to see how they could potentially have zero-net-deforestation products on market shelves by 2020. If you look at historical data on the loss of forest coverage, like this one from Earth Policy Institute, there simply won't be any forests left to deforest by then.
What disturbs me most, though, is that the pledge to use 2020 as the cut-off year for deforestation-free consumer products has been picked up by palm oil producing countries like Indonesia. Dissatisfied with membership of the globally accepted certification scheme for palm oil known as the Roundtable for Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO), the Indonesian Palm Oil Association quit the organization to form their own scheme for sustainable palm oil under the Indonesian Sustainable Palm Oil (ISPO).
On the surface, the ISPO looks really good. Where the RSPO failed to make big impacts in the protection of key forests in Indonesia due to the fact that many Indonesian producers of palm oil are not members, the ISPO has said it will make all its standards, its Principles and Criteria, mandatory to all producers of palm oil in the country. But all of this only by 2020.
We're only in early 2014, and already the claims of land grabs by palm oil and timber plantations in Indonesia are echoing through local Indonesian media. With only seven working years left to the year 2020, I fully expect a mad rush by companies to work pell-mell to cut down whatever forests they have been awarded regardless of human rights, extinctions of wildlife, or greenhouse gas emissions. I bring you one fine example of this today.
Local communities in Sulawesi, Indonesia, are going through a typical situation that has played out many times over at the hands of large corporations. Not only do they stand to lose their livelihoods planting rice or rubber, but they stand to lose the rights to their own land through nefarious purchasing practices or outright disregard for the law. Big Agriculture buys up the land and then requires the former residents, owners, and workers—who often have no other place to go—to remain tied to the plantations. Their children will then be born into debt to the same companies that promised them wealth and development.
Our challenge to the ISPO should be to implement with immediate effect a complaints system whereby allegations of land grabs or removal of high conservation values can be noted even as the ISPO works toward certifying palm oil producers in Indonesia. Failure to do so could permanently challenge the credibility of ISPO if they choose to certify plantations with a history of social and environmental injustices.
China and India are the biggest buyers of palm oil, and why should they listen to us? There are a couple of reasons. Aggressive campaigns by Greenpeace and the Rainforest Action Network to stop unsustainable palm oil growth have had an effect on the likes of Kellogg or Unilever. These brands felt the pressure from movement such as this one that Voices for Biodiversity has helped perpetuate, and these companies are working in the background to make sure no forests fall or human rights trampled for the sake of products they sell us.
Unfortunately, palm oil companies have seen the future in eco-friendly fuels or biofuels and what American companies will do to produce it. While we may rage against the deforestation caused by new palm oil plantations, they know that when we see the millions of hectares of forests being cut down in the Americas to feed biomass energy production like Drax in the United Kingdom, we will quickly forget the devastation in Borneo or Sumatra and simply beg to save our own forests in the West.
And why should we care about what some palm oil companies are doing in Indonesia? If saving cute orangutans or social justice doesn't make you get up and go, hopefully climate change will.
According to The Conversation, "Indonesia's peatlands hold at least 57 billion gigatonnes (Gigatonnes or Gt) of carbon, making them a globally significant terrestrial carbon pool." The Union of Concerned Scientists has long warned about green house gas emissions from palm oil cultivation and is urging companies to adopt strong policies on peat free sourcing.
Without governance over the millions of hectares that could potentially open up in Indonesia between now and 2020, we could likely see the time bomb go off and contribute to many more dire situations like the one California is in now. We simply cannot afford to ignore significant contributors to global warming and climate change, especially one of this magnitude.
Getting the ISPO to set up a complaints system today might not stop the destruction of high conservation value forests or protect human rights, but if the system is in place, it will, at the very least, give us a chance to gauge whether ISPO certification will be fact or farce.

Guns are sexy. It's a known fact that linking firearms (as well as many other odd things) to sex increases sales. That's what keeps good-looking models, both male and female, working.
However, as anyone who has dealt with any kind of military force understands, there is a very great deal of other, non-firearm equipment out there, and most of it can only be sexualized in the grossest of manners. As a result, the 'zhush' tends to get lost in the shuffle.
What do I mean by 'zhush'? The "other stuff": uniforms and boots, personal load-bearing gear, helmets, gas masks, tools, computers, desks, engineering vehicles...in short, virtually everything you could find in all of an office complex, a clothing outlet, and a construction company, you will find in the organizational table of a light infantry or military police battalion.
The problem for supply officers around the world, especially those serving in armies below the top tier, is how to get at that gear and equipment on a razor-thin budget. Psychologically speaking, it is humiliating for a formally-organized armed force -- which relies on the concepts of duty, honor and pride -- to accept hand-me-downs from wealthier states, except in the most dire of circumstances; the Free French and other remnant European armies that escaped to Britain after the evacuation at Dunkirk, France, in 1940 come to mind. At the same time, there may well be no real domestic industrial base for an army to draw upon in a small country. Doubly damaging for a small state's force, is the idea of buying second- (or even third-) hand surplus, and having to mark over the originating nation's identifying marks from the gear.
For decades, this was the conundrum - small armies had to either swallow their pride and accept handouts, or look like a street gang until either domestic production came online, or money was let from their (often horrifyingly corrupt) governments to contract out production to foreign companies to produce basic equipment to their specifications.
Globalization and the rise of the Internet, however, has changed revolutionized small-state military supply...and leading that charge is the Chinese clearinghouse known as the Alibaba Group.
While shopping sites such as Amazon cater to the individual buyer, Alibaba has a far more extensive wholesale section, where buyers can take advantage of the mass production capacities of several dozen Chinese companies, giving them access to top-level military equipment, as well as expendable supplies and tools that would have been prohibitively expensive for a small army to purchase before about 1999.
The only items not available via Alibaba are actual firearms, ammunition, explosives and drugs. While a disadvantage for the military buyer, the ability to equip everything else more than makes up for the lack of military-grade weapons on the site.
This is an advantage that cannot be overstated. While a rifle, three magazines, a cheap water bottle and a box of breakfast cereal might seem like a workable equipping plan, especially if a force is bereft of money, it is not. The ability to equip a relatively capable military force for comparative peanuts leaves no excuses for anyone with pretensions of competence - if you have access to the internet and a credit card, there is no excuse for sticking with the abysmal state of the past.

Aconit (formerly HMS Aconite) was one of the nine Flower-class corvettes lent by the Royal Navy to the Free French Naval Forces. During World War II, she escorted 116 convoys, spending 728 days at sea. She was awarded the Croix de la Libération and the Croix de Guerre 1939–1945, and was cited by the British Admiralty. Following the war she was used as whaling ship for three different companies from 1947 to 1964.

War serviceEdit
Early history 1941-42Edit
Aconite was built by Ailsa Shipbuilding Company Ltd at Troon in Scotland, and was commissioned on 19 July 1941, under Lieutenant de vaisseau Levasseur. She was attached to the Free French Naval Forces (FNFL) on 23 July 1941, and assigned to the Clyde escort group on 17 August 1941, joining the Newfoundland Forces.
Aconit took a very active part in the Battle of the Atlantic for two years, protecting convoys sailing from Newfoundland to the U.K. via Iceland. She also took part to the operations in Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon between 10 and 27 December 1941.
In 1942 Aconit, with three other FNFL corvettes, was assigned to Escort Group B-3 of the Mid-Ocean Escort Force and served with this group for the rest of the campaign.
On 10 and 11 March 1943, Aconit, one of eight warships escorting a large convoy HX228, destroyed two German submarines, U-444 (Oberleutnant zur See Albert Langfeld) and U-432 (Kapitänleutnant Hermann Eckhardt).[2]
On Tuesday 9 March the convoy was five days out from Newfoundland. At 0800 a plane from a U.S. carrier sighted a U-boat 10 miles (16 km) ahead. At 1500, the carrier was short on fuel and had to turn back. At 1930, an ammunition ship had been hit and on a second ship SS Andrea F. Luckenbach, men were taking to the boats.
HMS Harvester, a Havant class, under Commander Andre Tait DSO hunted U-444 by sweeping through the lumbering convoy. A corvette was detailed to rescue survivors as the underwater search went on. Hours passed as the destroyer remained in the attack area. At midnight, 4 miles (6.4 km) astern of the convoy, silently moving up to regain station U-444 was surfaced and going at top speed after the convoy. After the U-boat dived, Harvester raced over dive position and forced her to surface by depth charge attacks. Circling at speed Harvester searched and spotted the U-boat 500 yards ahead. Making revs for 27 knots (50 km/h) the destroyer rammed U-444, disabling herself in the process. From astern Aconit sighted U-444 as Harvester broke free and closed to make her own ramming attack.
Harvester, dead in the water, picked up one survivor and Aconit another four. Commander Tait ordered Aconit to rejoin convoy HX228 and with only the damaged starboard propeller shaft turning, Harvester limped behind at 9 knots (17 km/h). At 0400 on 10 March, 50 survivors of SS William C. Gorgas (a Liberty ship sunk by U-757) were sighted and rescued. During the morning of 11 March, Harvester's remaining shaft broke. A signal was made to Aconit "Am stopped. Stand by me".
At 1100 Harvester was hit by the first torpedo from U-432. As the officers and crew prepared to abandon ship in the middle of the intensely cold Atlantic, a second torpedo was fired. The captain, seven officers, 136 ratings and 39 survivors were lost. Aconit returned to the scene and forced U-432 to surface, then sank her with artillery fire and ramming. During the day, the French corvette picked up 60 survivors from Harvester, including 12 survivors from the William C. Gorgas. Aconit also captured 12 survivors from U-432, including the second officer.
The senior surviving officer of Harvester, Lieutenant J L Briggs (who had been gunnery control officer) interviewed the second-in-command of U-432, who had launched both torpedoes: "Why did you need to fire the second torpedo so shallow? What did you want to do, kill as many as you could?" The oberleutnant replied "didn't think you were sinking fast enough."
To the war's end 1943-45Edit
From 1 to 12 April, Aconit undertook repairs in Glasgow. On 21 April 1943, at Greenock, General Charles de Gaulle came aboard and awarded the corvette and her commander the Croix de la Libération.
Under major repairs from 1 September to 10 October 1943, her commander was replaced by Lieutenant de vaisseau Le Miller. She rejoined the Battle of the Atlantic, attacking a German submarine on 13 December 1943.
Aconit spent the first months of 1944 in Casablanca and Gibraltar, and on 5 June 1944 she escorted the convoy U-3 from Torbay to France, coming under attack from German airplanes. During the Normandy landings, she was attached to the 108th escort group, along with Free French ships Aventure, Escarmouche and Renoncule.
She last fired in anger on 11 April 1945. On 18 April, she undertook minor repairs, and returned to escorting convoys in May, until 5 June 1945, the official date for the end of naval operations in European waters.
Post warEdit
Aconit was briefly used by the French naval school, before being given back to the Royal Navy on 30 April 1947 and renamed HMS Aconite.
In July 1947 the ship was sold to United Whalers, London, for whaling purposes. Rebuilt as buoy boat (towing vessel) by Harland & Wolff, Belfast, she was delivered in November as Terje 11 to serve the whaling factory Balaena. The company used a second corvette as Terje 10 (the former HMS Chrysanthemum) In summer 1951 she was converted in a whale catcher with an ice strengthened bow and worked with Balaena until the company gave up whaling at the end of the 1959/1960 season.
In August 1960 the Scottish company Christian Salvesen, with still five former Flower corvettes in service, purchased Terje 11 and renamed the whale catcher Southern Terrier . She worked three seasons with the whaling factory Southern Harvester. She became chartered for her last catching season 1963/1964 by Anders Jahre´s A/S Kosmos and worked for the factory ship Kosmos IV, the former German Walter Rau. Laid up in Norway 1964 she was sold for scrapping to Belgium, where she arrived in January 1967.
In honour of this unit, three French warships have since been named Aconit including the modern stealth frigate Aconit.

Niki is best known for her oversized figures which embrace contradictory qualities such as good and evil, modern and primitive, sacred and profane, play and terror. Her exaggerated "earth mother" sculptures, the Nanas, playfully explore the ancient of feminine deities while celebrating modern feminism's efforts to reconsider and revalue the woman's body. In recent years de Saint Phalle has made monsters and beasts into architectural forms for playgrounds and schools. These works demonstrate her deep interest in architects like Antoni Gaudi, who made organic fluid buildings incorporating wild fantasies and everyday objects. Her collaboration with the Swiss artist Jean Tinguely on a landmark fountain for the plaza of the Centre Pompidou in Paris is world-renowned. The marketing success of Niki de Saint Phalle perfume allowed the artist to fulfill a dream to create a park in northern Italy full of giant sculptures based on Tarot cards, many of can be entered and one of which is a functional residence.
Although de Saint Phalle lived near Paris for more than twenty years, her artistic formation has been as much North American as European. She lived in New York from 1933 to 1951 and again in the 1960s when she was prominent in the development of "happenings" and other artistic efforts involving the integration of art and life. She lived and worked in La Jolla from 1992 until her death in 2002.
