We take honey from San Diego orange orchards and water from San Diego springs and brew delicious mead. Build a meadery with us.
What is Mead?
Mead is alcohol which is produced by fermenting honey. It is the oldest alcoholic beverage in the world. The Ethiopian Kings drank it, Beowulf drank it. Aristotle, Arjuna, Shakespeare...they all drank it. And so did your great-great-great-great- fore mommas and papas. The agricultural revolution came around and made grapes and grain easier to harvest for wine and beer. Mead regrettably, was ignored for something easier and cheaper to produce. Today mead is making a comeback.
Who is Golden Coast Mead?
Since our college years back in 2004, we began brewing mead socially – at that time storing it in our apartment bathtub. Starting in 2010 we decided we wanted to share mead with more than just our friends and family and we began brewing on a micro/nano/pico commercial level. This last year we made 70 gallons every other month (or about 175 bottles a month) by leasing equipment and borrowing space. With your support, funds would go to building a meadery business brewing quality mead using only local ingredients at a larger scale.
During the last two years we have:
- Begun to brew batches as large as 300 gallons
- Funded all expenses from our personal savings
- Created partnerships with great local retailers
- Built and maintained 10 bee colonies
During the last two years we have NOT:
- Paid ourselves a salary
- Purchased any of our own equipment
- Partnered with any third party distributors
- Spent any money on marketing
The demand we have seen in the San Diego area alone makes us believe in the idea that a standalone meadery would allow us to supply this delicious beverage to more people across California and eventually the US, for their benefit and the benefit of local and regional food systems which depend on the work of bees and bee keepers. The ability to buy our own equipment using our own space, would make that dream a reality.
How is Mead Made?
It all starts with bees. Bees pollinate flowers (in our case, orange groves) and return to their hive, transforming nectar into sweet honey. This honey's taste and texture are direct reflections of the region the bees pollinate.
After the bees make their honey, we take that honey and blend it with water from the Palomar mountain spring. We mix in some yeast and voila! After three months of fermenting and three months of aging we will take what is now a delicious alcoholic beverage and pour it into a bottle, hand-cork, hand-label, and tie a golden cage atop the cork.
Why//How/When is Kickstarter?
Why - Kickstarter gives people like us, with unique and specific dreams, a chance to make them come to life with help from supporters like you.
When - Now. We have just 60 days to raise just under $20,000.
How – Start a Kickstarter account, sign into Amazon, pledge $1 or more. If we reach our goal by the time our project expires your card will be charged your pledge amount.
What do we need help with?
The following photo was us in 2010 when we had our first mead tasting party and featured 11 different mead recipes. We surveyed 50 of our closest friends to finalize our flagship recipe.
Look at how happy we are. In those halcyon days of 2010 the world was one big pot of honey waiting to be fermented.
This was a screenshot taken during our most recent meeting.
This was snapped when we were reviewing a cost estimate sheet for creating our own meadery. If you can sense any frustration it stems from this: We have proven a rampant demand for our quality, locally-sourced mead in the San Diego craft brewing community. We know how to make the product in order to meet this demand. We do not have the resources to brew this amount of mead and our current revenue will not allow us to expand to this capacity within the foreseeable future.
Your donations will be used to purchase the following equipment:
- 1 x Bond/winemaking license
- 2 x 150 Gallon Fermenting Tanks
- 3 x 300 gallon Flex Tanks
- 1 x 300 Gallon Bright Tank
- 8 x Hoses
- 1 x Pumps
- 1 x Compressor
- 1 x Used Forklift
We have big dreams. Without you, we will remain where we are. With your help, we can build a functioning, standalone meadery and introduce the magic of quality mead to the world.
More about Golden Coast Mead
Golden Coast Mead exists to bring the magic of quality mead to passionate people. We want to be a part of the large scale movement towards sustainable, interesting, local-regional food systems. We think mead can be a great part of that movement. We hope people get excited about our first mead, Mirth in a Bottle. We hope it gets them thinking about the honey and bees of their region as well as what kind of mead their region could produce.

Being from a Naive American family (Hopi), where my brother & I seen injustice in a white mans court against the native Americans - just as it is still to this day being treated like "wild life" instead of equal human beings, I think it is time (especially being the "original Americans") to be treated EQUAL. It is time we all take a stand "together" legally and make this difference. I think the spirits of our tribes cries from their graves for us to do this thing. Let us hold hope that one day this can happen.
Canadian Human Rights Tribunal Finally Hears Aboriginal Child Welfare Case
After a seven-year legal fight waged by a prominent aboriginal-children's advocate and the Assembly of First Nations against the federal government, the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal is finally hearing a case about the welfare of on-reserve aboriginal children.
The hard-won hearings began on February 25, 2013, and will resume on April 2. They will run a total of 14 weeks. At issue is whether discrepancies in welfare-services funding between on-reserve aboriginal children, whose care is paid for by the federal government, and off-reserve, which is funded by provincial and territorial governments, is tantamount to discrimination.
The Canadian government has spent about $3 million to try and get the case dismissed. On March 11 it lost yet another court appeal. Meanwhile the hearings had already started.
It all began back in 2007, when the Assembly of First Nations (AFN) and the First Nations Child and Family Caring Society filed a human-rights complaint alleging that on-reserve child-welfare services, which are paid for by the federal government, amounted to a good 22 percent less than those for other children. The complaint was filed with the Canadian Human Rights Commission, which referred it to the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal, over which it has jurisdiction, the following year.
However the tribunal dismissed the case in 2011 without hearing it after the federal government argued successfully that a comparison between federal and provincial funding is not possible. This prompted the Family Caring Society and the AFN to file a lawsuit. On April 18, 2012, Federal Court ruled that the tribunal should not have dismissed the case and ordered the panel to hear the case on its merits. The federal government appealed and lost again.
"The society argued the funding gap has left on-reserve kids with less programming and less quality services, and often means kids on reserves are taken into care faster and more often than their off-reserve counterparts," as the Winnipeg Free Press put it.
Now the case has come full circle, as it were, back to the tribunal for a full hearing. The case hinges on how successful child advocate Cindy Blackstock, who heads the Family Caring Center, and the AFN will be at arguing, among other things, that more First Nations children are placed in foster care than non-aboriginal children. Not only that, but recent studies have shown that the number of children in foster care is greater than the number of children brought into Canada's residential schools system during its 150-year period of operation, they say.
Blackstock says that 30 to 40 percent of the numbers of children in foster care are indigenous, while that segment comprises just five percent of Canada's child population at most, according to the Leveller.
"It remains unfortunate that the federal government continues to battle us in court on a fundamental issue of justice and equity for First Nations children," said AFN National Chief Shawn A-in-chut Atleo in a statement the day after the court's ruling on the hearings. "It should not have to get to this. However yesterday's decision is a welcome step by the Federal Court of Appeal and one that will ensure these important hearings continue before the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal."
Atleo delivered opening statements at the tribunal's first day of hearings on February 25. The hearings will go on until the summer. The Canadian government has 60 days to appeal the court ruling and try to get the tribunal's case dismissed.
In reality nothing has
In reality nothing has changed ; A Social welfare worker who had no idea about the social economic conditions of the child or our culture or the law, helped alienate my child(South Asian) forever from me by issuing a racist statement "She has a better chance in Canada" there by ripping my child of her identity of her right as per UN children's rights charter to be raised as per her culture and to be raised where it is in the child's best interest. No matter what the system looked down upon other cultures based solely by their limited knowledge of other cultures and countries. It's equivalent to a non Canadian watching a documentary on Bountiful community and saying girls in Canada are forced into becoming child brides to older men in a polygamous society:) !-sounds stupid but that's how welfare workers treat non Canadian parent's right to ethnic children. FYI: It is not legal to use generic socio political conditions of a country against a parent in international divorces but neither does the Canadian courts care nor do their workers on children's rights. They wont stop until they rip every available ethnic child of its heritage and assimilate into their mainstream Canadian society. Shame - you don't learn from history.

By Steve DeVane Staff writer
PINEHURST - The Village Council is thinking about forming a Historic District Design Committee that would take over some functions of the village's Historic Preservation Commission.
The council held a special meeting Friday to discuss the commission's role.
The council was at odds with the commission last year over the council's plan to renovate the historic Village Green. The commission turned down the plan in July because of the size of the project and the removal of trees.
The council appealed that ruling to the village's Board of Adjustment, which ruled in the council's favor. The council voted 3-2 in January to proceed with the renovations, which are expected to be complete next month.
Commission Chairman Howard Warren and commission member Jim Lewis spoke during the meeting Friday. Other commission members attended.
Mayor Nancy Roy Fiorillo said she was glad to have the dialogue.
The new committee would deal with minor changes to properties in the village's historic district after they have been reviewed by members of the village staff. The council also is considering adjustments to village laws so the committee could handle some issues now considered major.
Council members say they want to make the administrative process easier for residents.
Residents in the village's historic district who want to make changes to their homes now go before the commission, which acts as a formal quasi-judicial board. The process requires the residents to take an oath before telling the commission about their plans.
Lewis said the process can be intimidating. He said he remembers dealing with cases that he thought should not have been before the commission.
Lewis said the committee could help residents who apply to make changes to their property.
"We do have a reputation for this process being onerous," he said.
Councilman John Cashion suggested trying out the new process for 60 days.
Fiorillo said a lot of regulations might have to be changed first.
"I wish we could just say, 'Poof' and try it for 60 days," she said.
The council asked Molly Goodman, a senior planner with the village, to talk to a lawyer about the village implementing the changes on a trial basis.
Council members also talked about making the village's historic district smaller. The historic district includes the entire area listed as a National Historic Landmark plus other property.
Fiorillo said the district could be limited to the downtown area and cottages built during the village's early history.
Council member Mark Parson said he thinks the district should be smaller. Fiorillo asked for his recommended changes.
"I would start all over," he said.

CEO Pay and Turnover Increase Along with Hotel FundamentalsOct 25, 12 | 12:06 am By Keith K If the hotel industry performance matrix was the benchmark for economic growth and stability in the US, there would be a different tune in this year's presidential election. The past year by all measures was a successful one for the US hotel industry, marking the first time since 2008 that overall occupancy was over 60 percent (60.1%) and ADR finished over $100 ($101.64). Even as all three key performance metrics (occupancy, average daily rate and revenue per available room) recorded positive growth in 2011, CEO turnover increased at unusual levels. Why would a recovering industry cause such upheaval in the executive suite? Notwithstanding the economic factors, natural succession and unbridled discourse of mission and vision between a company's management and its board, 2011 marked changes at the top spot for 1 out of every 8 publicly trading lodging companies. Change continues into the first half of 2012 with the promotion of Arne Sorensen at Marriott and Paul Whetsell becoming CEO at Loews Hotels. Moreover, the past two years have seen 8 CEO replacements at 31 publicly traded lodging companies in the US. While change was the theme for hotel leaders, CEO compensation continued to rise unabated. 2011 TOP-PERFORMING CEO RANKING Please download the above table here. Base PayOur survey revealed that hotel CEOs had smaller salaries as a percentage of their total pay, in lieu of more short and long-term incentives. Base pay represented only 13% of the average CEO pay package. In contrast, long-term incentive increased from 45% to 52%, while short-term incentives covered 28% in 2011. Other compensation (benefits & perquisites) made up the remaining 7%, increasing from 3% the previous year. In dollar terms, the average salary for a hotel CEO increased $19,000 to $735,000 in 2011. In addition to a number of CEOs taking smaller salaries, Michael Gross at Morgan Hotels; Park Brady with St. Joe Co; Kenneth Cruse, the new CEO at Sunstone Hotel Investors and David LaRue of Forest City were all newcomers to HVS's annual CEO survey and earned below average base salaries. Bonus and Long-Term IncentivesThe average bonus for a hotel CEO dropped from $1.7 million in 2010, to $1.6 million in 2011. Several of the top earners including, Robert Iger of Walt Disney, Jeffrey Boyd of Priceline.com and Stephen Holmes of Wyndham Worldwide received higher bonuses, with Iger receiving the largest at $15.5 million. Overall, 13 CEO's received bonus pay in excess of $1 million, while 2 received no bonus at all. Equity pay shifted upward from an average of $2.3 million in 2010, to $2.6 million in 2011. Robert Iger, Montgomery Bennett of Ashford Hospitality and Edward Walter of Host Hotels & Resorts received the largest long-term incentives, while four received nothing in the form of long-term compensation. As expected, the increase in equity pay took total CEO pay up in 2011. When combining all components, the average 2011 CEO pay package was $5,652,000 as compared to $5,262,000 in 2010. Mickey Arison and Bill Marriott remained the "richest" CEO's in the industry with both having a net worth of over a billion dollars. Providing ValueWe created the HVS Pay-For-Performance Index to determine which CEOs, related to their pay, provided shareholders the best value. The model compares CEO compensation to financial indicators such as stock appreciation, market capitalization and increases in EBITDA or FFO. Based on our analysis,Monty J. Bennett at Ashford was the best performing CEO in the hotel industry. Despite Bennett's $10M paycheck, he was still underpaid by a whopping 76% according to our PFP model. Monty Bennett is Founder, Director and Chief Executive Officer of Ashford Hospitality Trust, a Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) formed in August 2003. The company went public with six hotels valued at $130 million, and today has more than $4 billion in assets and has outperformed its peers in total shareholder returns consistently over the past eight years. (L-R: Steve Rushmore, Monty Bennett, Keith Kefgen at the 2011 Top-Performing CEO Award ceremony) HVS Executive Search has presented the Top-Performing CEO Award each year since 1994. Past winners include Jeffery H. Boyd, Stephen Holmes, Jon E. Bortz, William McCarten, Stephen Bollenbach, Hasu Shah, Jonathan Tisch, David Litman, Charles A. Ledsinger, Jr., J.W.

The author would like to thank Elizabeth Warmingham for her contributions to the coordination of the study. About Keith KefgenKeith Kefgen is Chief Executive Officer of HVS Executive Search, the human resource consulting practice of HVS.

UK Readers Tea Room
Welcome to all those English-speakers who spell "honour" with a "u!" Pour yourself some tea, peruse the bookshelf, and drop by often for the latest news about Julia Justiss books from Mills & Boon. SIMULTANEOUS PUBLICATION IS NOW HERE Julia's new books will now debut at the same time in North America and UK markets; the UK books will feature the same cover as the North American edition but retain their Mills & Boon branding. So, without further ado… |
Once a rake... Known as "Magnificent Max," diplomat Max Ransleigh was famed for his lethal charm until a political betrayal left him exiled from government and his reputation in tatters. He seems a very unlikely savior for a well-bred young lady. Except that Miss Caroline Denby doesn't want to be saved...she wants to be ruined! To Caroline, getting married is tantamount to a death sentence, and meeting the rakish Max at a house party seems the answer to her prayers... Surely this rogue won't hesitate to put his bad reputation to good use? Ransleigh Rogues Where these notorious rakes go, scandal always follows... "If a character study of two honorable, passionate people creating a life together that delights them interests you, then enter Caroline and Max's world." Only a true rake can offer her redemption… Will Ransleigh, illegitimate nephew of the Earl of Swynford, has the tall, aristocratic bearing of nobility-and the resourceful cunning of a streetwise rogue. To clear his cousin's name he is on a mission that will take him across the Continent into a world of international intrigue-and the arms of Elodie Lefevre, the society hostess who brought shame to his family. Is she seductress, spy, or damsel in distress? In the haze of the sensual spell she casts, Will has to keep his wits about him and uncover the true nature of this mysterious Madame.... Ransleigh Rogues Where these notorious rakes go, scandal always follows... |
THE RANSLEIGH ROGUES Coming in 2014 Book 3: Ingenious Alastair The "literary" cousin, as a philosopher and poet, Alastair's clever pen promised to have him best Byron, until humiliating betrayal turned him into the most heartless rake in England. When he meets again the now-widowed woman who jilted him, his mocking challenge that she become his newest mistress, a challenge he never believes she will accept, catapults them into an affair. Lady Winters, victim of devastating emotional abuse, locked all her feelings away to survive. Through touch and intimacy, a challenge that was meant for revenge begins slowly to break down the barriers Diana has erected around herself and free the woman within…while Alastair finds himself falling in love all over again with a woman who is even more fascinating than the girl he lost. Book 4: Dandy Dom Features Dominic "Dandy Dom" Ransleigh, son of the earl's first cousin, and the orphaned daughter of a career Army officer. Called "the handsomest man in the Regiment," able to best them all at any sport, Dom survives Waterloo--but with his face scarred and missing one arm. Deprived of all that gave his life meaning, he breaks his engagement and retreats to his country property to try to sort out what is left. His brooding solitude is disturbed by an orphaned colonel's daughter who wants to establish a home for war orphans in a building he owns. Her persistence and determination pull him out of his self-imposed isolation, forcing him to focus not so much on what he's lost, but what he can do, for himself and for others. And as these two prickly, wounded survivors confront each other, irritation turns to appreciation, and finally to love. As circumstances allow during her husband's continuing rehabilitation, Julia is working on Alastair's story, third book of the Ransleigh Rogues quartet, which should appear with Dom's sometime in 2014. |

THE CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY Office of the Chancellor 400 Golden Shore Drive Long Beach, California 90802-4275 (310) 951-4610 Code: C NOAT 93-21 Date: June 18, 1993 To: Financial Managers Accounting Officers Budget Officers From: Joseph R. Dunn Director of Financial Management CSU Controller's Office Subject: New Year-end Roll Rules, Self-supporting Funds
Based on a new agreement with the State Controller's Office, the year-end roll rules for the self-supporting funds have been changed. This change will affect Funds 573, 580, and 839. In the past, the State Controller brought forward zero balances for these funds in all allotment control ledgers. The State Controller will now bring forward as a budget in the new year any amount unexpended as of June 30, 1993. This process has been used for several years for Fund 575, Dormitory Building Maintenance and Equipment Reserve, and Fund 583, Fines and Forfeitures. The FRS year-end roll rules have been changed to reflect this new procedure. FRS will bring forward a budget on July 1, 1993 for any unexpended balance at June 30, 1993. For example, if a campus had allotments of $50, expenditures of $25, accruals of $15, and encumbrances of $5, a budget would be automatically created on July 1 in the FRS for $10, the balance unexpended at June 30, 1993. The SCO would establish a budget of $25 on their books. One benefit of this change is that budgets will automatically be in place on both the FRS and the SCO records for encumbrances and accruals as of July 1, 1993. Amounts automatically established as budgets will be taken into consideration when annual operating budgets are allocated. Please contact me if you have any questions about these changes.

100% of Silverdale reviewers said Breast Implant Removal was worth it
"Pretty Nervous About This Procedure..."
I am age 56. My first BA was in 1990. I was so pleased with the results. I felt great. Looked terrific. About 6 years in I experienced capsular contracture in my left breast. In 2003 I had the first set removed and replaced, same size. Again, best decision, all went well. Now 10 yrs. later I have CC again, same breast, more painful, becoming very uncomfortable. I am ready to have them removed,... more
"Happy to Be Free of Implants -..."
I'd had breast implants for over 23 years, had them removed and not replaced, and am very glad I did! The initial surgery was done in 1989 to camouflage asymmetry (I was a 34B on the left and about a cup size less on the right). I'm 5'4" tall and slender, with a small frame. I was pleased with the results of the surgery, and back then, breast implants were believed to be basically permanent.... more
"Silicone Implants Removed with Lift..."
Had first set of implants at 51, with right side puckering. Replaced them 2 years later.The second set was in for 5 years, and developed a seroma. Decided to take them out with a lift. I am 3 weeks post-op, and my right side looks like someone pulled the nipple from my back -indented all the way across. Here are pictures I did not send before. I had my implants under the muscle both times. more
"Don't Look Down! - Federal Way, WA"
9 years ago I was a 31 year old single mother of two when I decided to get breast implants. It seemed to me like I had always wanted bigger boobs and for the 30 months (total) that I nursed my babies, my boobs were a full 34C and I loved them. After I stopped nursing and lost the pregnancy weight (130lbs at 5'9"), I was both small and saggy and decided to get the implants that I always a... more
"Fat transfer to breast today!"
I have over the muscle saline implants x 20 yrs and am having them removed Monday. I'm nervous but thanks to this site & all of the wonderful women willing to share their stories, I don't feel alone. My PS is also doing a capsulectomy then in 6 weeks I will go back for a fat transfer procedure. The reason I had them placed initially was because of asymmetric breasts so the fat transfer... more
"Needed to Find a Meticulous Plastic..."
I feel victimized by our superficial culture that still places the most value on women who look like "BARBIE DOLL" My old plastic surgeon told me that many woem have their implants replaced with bigger ones in the future, he did NOT, CLEARLY, tell me that mine would, for sure need, to be replaced as I aged and sagged and contracted, or that my body would eventually react to having plastic bags... more
"Wonderful Outcome! - Seattle, WA"
I had very old breast implants (40+ years) removed by Dr. Haeck. I'm thrilled at how I look now - still have breasts but now softer and all mine. Healing was a breeze! The office is immaculate and staff are very attentive. Dr. Haeck takes the time to talk to you before and after your procedures and doesn't seem rushed. Good listener and helps answer the questions you didn't even know to... more
"Silicone Implant & Capsule Removal,..."
On June 1st I had my silicone implants & capsule removed with a lift. I am feeling so much more like myself than I have in 18 years....I never liked & came to hate those implants. Why I did it in the first place remains a mystery to me...probably because it sounded like a good idea at the time. I was a perfectly fine C cup, the lessons we learn sometimes the hard way. Like many other... more
"I'm on the Fence About Having my..."
I had breast implant surgery 4 years ago and have been so uncomfortable since. In fact I have felt more self conscious and insecure since having the surgery then I ever have in my entire life. I was a 34B before surgery hoping for a C cup and ended up a 34D with 325cc Silicone Memory Gel Implants :( I was dead set on the idea for 5 years and none of my friends could talk me out of it. I'm... more
"Saline Breast Implant Removal -..."
Hi ladies, I'm 43 years old and have had my saline implants for 6 years. I went from a 34AA (I think) to about a 34C. I'm 5'9" and they don't look obnoxious, but they just don't feel like "me". I notice them when I swim and do exercise like push-ups. And - as many of you have commented on - when I hug people. Boo. Like many of you, I'm nervous about how I'll look once they're removed. But... more
"Getting Implants Out - Seattle, WA"
Hello All! So glad to see this site. I just googled removal of breast implants and this site came up. I had my first implants done in 1987, silicone..since then I've had 14 surgeries, this has been a nightmare and has cost me 10's of thousand of dollars. At this point, probably the worst decision I've ever made, my BIGGEST regret was getting these implants. Today, I have one of... more
"Implant Removal Without Lift,..."
My doctor is suggesting removing the capsule from my left breast as it is thick and twisted. He says if he does not my breasts may look different sizes. Has anyone had this? Any comments? I got my implants 10 years ago. I was 22 and in a different place in my life. I went from a 34 A to a 34 D. They have always stuck out from my body like torpedos, and when I am really fit they feel so... more

Model(s): TR-5 Michael McHaleAs an ex entertainment lawyer from New York City, Michael McHale's creative output initially consisted of handling the legal work of creative people. Not satisfied by his occupation as a means of creative expression, McHale began designing light fixtures that appealed to his unique design aesthetic. His choice of materials - industrial pipes and fittings drenched in fine crystal - convey a powerful message of how stunning contrasts can be. McHale's work has been featured in The New York Times, Dwell, Interior Design Magazine, and in dozens of design and lifestyle publications and blogs.

See other lights/products from Michael McHaleMichael McHale DesignsUntil a few years ago, Michael McHale was an entertainment lawyer whose creative output consisted mainly of handling the legal work of creative people. Not satisfied with his occupation as a means of creative expression, McHale eventually sought out new artistic outlets. Fed up with law but unsure of what was next, McHale walked into a design store one day to purchase a light fixture for his New York apartment. Unimpressed with the materials and the message of what was available, he was convinced he could do better. This resulted in Michael McHale Designs - interesting pieces consisting of industrial pipes and fittings drenched in fine crystal. The materials used in his industrial-chic fixtures are a commentary on how stunning contrasts can be. Since McHale began designing in the Autumn of 2007, his work has been featured in The New York Times, Dwell, Interior Design Magazine, and in dozens of other design and lifestyle publications. His chandeliers hang in the living rooms of celebrities, taste makers, and design aficionados. His modern fixtures have been featured at the American Express VIP Room at Fashion Week in New York, in Hamptons beach houses, Aspen ski houses and bars, Doha showcases, and Taipei living rooms.

They're steady and pretty -- -- Peter -- onset now off ten edition Peter.
How are you I'm good how are you if you are CEO advisor and to contribute foxbusiness.com.
-- an article up today and that basically a three step plan for how to better manage your day as we are heading to 2013.
Trying to figure out right now -- -- you know we we it's the New Year's resolution problem.
And -- which is that we all start coming up in new resolutions we define them and articulate them and commit to them and write them down.
On January 1 and by January 15 we've barely remembered what they are look at maybe -- -- I -- I can't exactly and you know you see that when you look at gym memberships and you see how they trailing up everybody's -- there by January 1.
And -- -- -- and you know go there anymore I think right before it up right that's exactly right there's times and -- know that because that's when you're gonna start seeing the deals.
But I progress yet so.
I'm so really the issue has nothing to do with the goals in fact maybe we will talk about that next week which is why I think goals or even about -- period but before we go there.
You know people focus so much on their goals that they forget about the most important part which is execution and it all comes down to execution it doesn't really matter what you're aiming for you're not gonna execute.
You really went up in the morning and say oh this is Michael and -- skewed it's -- No you don't that's precisely what what's precisely what you need -- process is made up in the morning and I'm just click OK wake up right at right at that -- computer right now the.
Right I mean what -- my.
I'm strong beliefs is that you need to create an environment that predispose as you -- get done what you want it done so for example if you just wake up.
And you know the closest thing to use your snooze button they're probably headed.
Quite if instead of your alarm clock right there you put your running sneakers and you reach over in a groggy you know shut shut I -- Reach in order that hit your snooze button and you feel you're running sneakers chances are you'll end up putting those on instead of -- -- -- so a lot will depend on how we kind of and the environment that we create but we need a process to keep us focused and we need to to institute implement the process.
You're pretty much every day.
Right because if we don't then then we're gonna hit the snooze button on life.
And it's good analogy actually right.
-- right so -- step one in this process markets is step one fizzled this is I wrote a book called eighteen minutes find your focus master distraction and get the right things done.
In this process comes out -- he says that we'll tease you have an upcoming workshop talking about -- elements in this book.
Which is the week ended January 11 thirteen -- -- Apollo to for -- you can find information about them on my website are.
Peter Bergen I -- thank you for that he's in Iraq.
So so the eighteen minutes is a process -- -- 5 minutes in the morning emitted each hour and five minutes in the Katz I know right -- -- this is -- it's only eighteen minutes and an entire day in the first five minutes.
Before doing email right because the first thing usually do -- we all do is we start on our email.
And we go in expecting to -- you know see what's up and three hours later we emerge or maybe three years later emerge you know haven't forgotten everything -- positive.
Susan before you check your email you sit down for five minutes and you decide what is most important for me to get them to -- right what do I wanna do today.
And -- write down you write it down in your calendar.
In your calendar this critical there's a tremendous amount of evidence that points to the fact that if you decide when and where you're gonna do something you'll do it.
And that don't then you want you -- -- out.
They have -- drug addicts on withdrawal to write an essay sometime before 5 PM.
None of them that it big surprise right -- they said tell me when and where you're gonna do that you are right that SA.
80% of them did it planned and I think -- -- withdraw so it's hello united in their direct on the -- I'm but they didn't -- -- women -- breast cancer checks sometime in the next month.
Of them did it.
Tell me when and where in the next month you're gonna do it a 100% -- the did it if you wanna get something done to have to put it on account.
So in those 5 minutes in the morning.
You decide what's most important to do even if it's appointments for yourself you wanna write an article you wanna call friend -- however small it is it's important for you to do.
Put it on your calendar decide when and where you gonna accomplish it.
That's the first five -- And a minute each hour and don't block here a minute each hour set your watch or time or something and let it -- every hour.
And on the hour take -- deep breath and ask yourself two questions -- -- doing what I'm most need to be doing right now and am I being who I most want to be right now.
Because it is so easy to get distracted.
From the the very plans that we -- just an hour ago.
We need to remind ourselves of where we want to be focused and those reminders of just one minute and hour -- nothing you work the other 59 minutes.
But those one minute reminders help us to -- back on track.
And then at the end of the day another five minutes.
And those five minutes -- to decide to look at what you learn what worked what didn't work.
What are you want to do differently -- the same tomorrow and also my favorite is to tie up the loose ends of the day.
Who do you wanna email a quick thank you to a quick check in a quick you know we have a little bit of something that you need to share just to wrap up your day to be able to really -- -- your computer.
But what happens.
Had you gotta have a plan out because some kind.
That's -- case of that happened to me yesterday I had a whole great plan.
And he kept getting pushed up some because it really needed to -- some because frankly I was getting myself distracted when I always do as -- go back to the calendar.
And I Cheney and and we know into our -- my future.
But I reflect my past so I look carefully editor you know what I said I was gonna write for that our but it really tool -- an email.
So I way to change that our from writing to email so when I look back at the end of the day.
Possibly do that -- kind of got sucked into -- three hours of stuff that was not very productive what sucked me into it what do I wanna learn from that and how -- gonna fix that tomorrow.
That that's a lot of people -- know their downfall right what.
Wait and they do it every time.
Any native keep doing it again -- -- supplement and I downfall when I'm working in my house yet what I do is I decide okay you know I've been working really hard and it's lunchtime when it gets -- -- Watch a show on Hulu and make that is my downfall so let's start with -- once or who I start to eat this does not quite over.
But I can't just sit watch TV in the middle of the day cycle get more food.
Right after three bowls of whatever I was eating that I really shouldn't -- -- and Felix -- -- growth of overeating I've watched an hour and a half of television.
I cannot turn the removal and I cannot start without -- meeting other like this my downfall I know predictably.
If I turn television on wall and started to -- lunch and done for an hour.
Stuff so when you begin to learn -- about yourself you'd you know you realize you have to unplug that television and throw it you know we garbage.
One quick chat -- you sir Christopher Todd says it is impossible to manage time he can only prioritize.
-- -- best -- -- prioritize is one or two minutes at a time always ask what is the most important thing.
I need to accomplish in the minute and you'll better manage today plus to 7%.
That's exactly gonna -- and and but I would say -- you're right on that you can't manage your time the you can manage yourself in your time.
And so that idea of managing yourself and recognizing what you're doing continually going back in checking in.
That's the smartest way to manage yourself in time yet but to do less.
-- -- oh I don't make an everyday not a -- -- it's great I think that's right it's also great point.
To do list in my view are not working documents and should not be working off of -- -- was during the day.
Their input document the collection documents whenever we have something to do put in -- to do list.
And then transferred -- to calibrate your calendars are working -- of the -- Peter -- thank you so much again we're coming on here -- say is on the screen as is your article.
All right.

Thinking of following me? Please read this. And this.
I grew up in a family of birders. I learned all about what came to the feeder, and why, from a very young age. And I have missed having that in my life.
So when I ended up poking through the dollar store for mailing stuff, and finding hanging birdfeeders - well, I came home with more birdfeeders and less mailing stuff. I figured not only would I get to see more birds, it'd be like TV for my indoor cats.
A rousing success, all around. Pesky squirrels aside, we have perky sparrows and chickadees, goldfinches, the occasional blue jay, robins, and grackles - the usual sort of urban mix. I hope to see more as time goes on.
But the best part is the mourning doves. I tend to scatter seed on the ground as well, and it's what attracts the grackle harems - but the doves have come, too. They're a mated pair, and they sit on my fence or in the yard, calmly inhabiting, or singing out their soft sighing calls. I'm glad they're here, because it makes me feel as if Aphrodite is happy to be here as well, and that I tend her shrine to her satisfaction.
While I was trying to get a picture of the doves (just the female was there when i had the camera out), a bold male grackle tried to photobomb me. So he's there, too.

Banker: Economy Recovering But Not On Main St
Univest Montgomery County Marketing President Phil Jackson says the economy has been technically in recovery for about the last year, with an improving gross domestic product for example, but it has not really reached Main Street. "I would say that we haven't seen the kind of growth in things that you would normally see like growth in inventory, growth in expanding facilities, sales going up. I would say it's stabilized, but I would not characterize it as a total turnaround yet."
He says the government shows the unemployment rate dropping, but those numbers are politicized and hard to analyze, so he looks at something else.
"One of the key numbers I look at is the percentage of those that are employable that are actually employed. You can't fool around with those numbers, and unfortunately that number is in the low 60 percent, so of all the people out there that can be employed, 60 percent are employed, and that is at a historic low."
Jackson says that number has been going down, despite some government reports suggesting an improving employment picture. He says when the real estate market turns around it will give the economy some real momentum, but that hasn't happened yet.

Colombia continues to be the most dangerous place in the world to be a union member.

And should also know that it has been doing so increasingly for over 30 years, as their power in the economy has radically increased, and with it their political power. That has set in motion a vicious cycle that has concentrated immense wealth, and with it political power, in a tiny sector of the population, a fraction of 1%, while the rest increasingly become what is sometimes called "a precariat" -- seeking to survive in a precarious existence. They also carry out these ugly activities with almost complete impunity -- not only too big to fail, but also "too big to jail."

The mainstream media, for example, are not owned by collectives of busboys and taxi drivers, and even the "liberal" outlets among them are not pitched toward the impecunious. They may snicker when the occasional hedge fund manager is brought to justice, but they've been equally snarky about populist actions against the rich, such as the ongoing occupation of Wall Street, which is newsworthy if only for the levels of brutality it's elicited from the NYPD. Or did you know that the Transportation Security Administration just won union representation this summer? Probably not, because that's "labor news," which has been all but supplanted by "business news".'

When did the American presidency become the only job in the universe for which the applicants dress more casually than the incumbent? As the race for the Republican nomination intensifies, why is one contender dressing like Mr. Rogers' brother (Santorum), and others apparently more reluctant to put on a suit than a teenage boy? Blame Occupy Wall Street, the celebrity culture-and, according to one historian, Nixon.

Michigan House Repubs 'skeptical' of Medicaid expansion
If Governor Rick Snyder decides he wants to expand Medicaid in Michigan, state House Republicans say they might not be on board.
State House Speaker Jase Bolger says he's "cautiously skeptical" about the idea of expanding Medicaid.
Under the federal Affordable Care Act, the state has to decide whether to let more people into the program. If it does, Washington will pay for the expansion for the first three years.
Bolger says he's not yet convinced.
"The federal government has quite a history of dangling carrots and abandoning states and leaving them to pay for those things."
Governor Snyder says he wants to make sure health care providers in the state can handle an influx of hundreds-of-thousands of people into the program.
He's expected to address his plans for a possible Medicaid expansion when he gives his budget proposal next week.
