18 Jan The quiet before the storm – 12 days to EventsFrame full launch!

I'm writing this post from my hotel room in the bustling Da'an district of Taipei. This is my third visit to the city but the first time I have had a free day, and we spent the day in the hills above Taipei, visiting a tea plantation and temple complex. Tonight we are heading out to an entrepreneurs meet up for the Dynamite Circle, a global group that Simon and myself are members of.
From tomorrow its back to the work of an events producer and we have our 4th annual AppsEvents Taiwan Google Summit coming up this weekend….of course run completely on EventsFrame 🙂
So this is just a short blog post to outline where we are and where we are going. Our roadmap for EventsFrame has consisted of three distinct phases:
Phase 1: Get AppsEvents on EventFrame. We completed this on schedule in September. We created EventsFrame to 'scratch our own itch' as we could not find any system that met the needs of muti-event producers. I can say without reservation it was the cleanest and simplest transition of any software system I have been involved with….mainly thanks to the work of my co-founders James, Simon and Dean.
Phase 2: Release EventsFrame for free events. We completed this again on schedule in December. The system is FREE for free events and we already have many organizations across the world using our system to run events, including many school related events such as the ISTEC Group of School Tech Directors in Bangkok. We are passionate about EdTech and wanted to make our system free for free events from day 1.
Phase 3: Release EventsFrame for paid events. So we are almost there. From Feb 1st we will support PayPal and Braintree integration (Stripe coming later) and have a fully automated sign up process with a months free trial. Important Note: If you are interested in checking out EventsFrame please head on over to www.eventsframe.com and anyone who joins our mailing list before the end of January will qualify for a 30% Discount on EventsFrame for life!
So it's heads down for the next two weeks until we launch. Our company org structure is simple. Just two meetings a week: One for marketing and one for development. Everyone works remotely and sets their own planning and agenda.

I've read all her books in the Underworld series and Elena and Clay are one of my (few) most beloved couples in UF.
I inhaled all the books where they are protagonists, they're definitely my favorite in the series.
When Armstrong started writing YA lit (The Darkest Powers series) I picked up The Summoning. I wasn't very impressed, so much so that I dropped the series.
This new series, Darkness Rising, is somewhat better than DP, but still hasn't left me very impressed so far.
The story is set in a tiny community somewhere on Vancouver Island, Canada. Salmon Creek is a small village whose residents work for a pharmaceutical company who does classified medical research. There's something definitely fishy going on in the community: from Serena's - Maya's best friend - death, to the appearance of an ever- increasing number of unknown cougars, to a series of weird events punctuating Maya's life.
There were some nice - and original - aspects to this story that I particularly appreciated.
The setting, for starters, is really nice. Descriptions of the community, the wilderness and the wildlife are really well done, atmospheric. There's always an animalistic taste to Armstrong's books when she deals with shapeshifters that I find extremely enticing.
Because after all, shapeshifters they are, in this book. Skin-walkers, to be precise, a race of supernaturals that I had yet to encounter in fantasy.
The mythology, tied to native Americans, is definitely a point which I found very interesting and that I would have wanted to - and that I hope will be - explored more in the next installments. What I didn't like was when said mythology got contaminated with a not-so-native regional Italian secret sect of hunters, the Benandanti, which had, in my opinion, very little to do with native Americans. There might be ignorance on my part on this subject but the sect is, incidentally, originally from the area where I live and I am pretty sure we have nothing in common with native American shapeshifters. Anyway.
The other problem I had was that some scenes between Maya and Rafe, especially the ones when they are in the woods, felt very much similar to some Elena and Clay's scenes, and if they're similar now... well, I don't want to be spoilery but I think they will end up being more and more similar to the other, fortunate series.
So basically, while I enjoyed the book (cliffhanger aside) I had the distinct feeling that this - or part of this - was just a YA version of a story that's already been successfully told.
I wish Kelley Armstrong had just stuck to adult urban fantasy because, to me, it definitely feels like she's trying to milk the YA cash cow by exploiting some trite paranormal YA tropes.

Phil Rizzuto Collection For Sale
From The Post:
Phil Rizzuto sat at a corner table yesterday morning at Mickey Mantle's Restaurant and, for a while it was paradise at the dashboard light again for anyone who had ever watched him play or listen to him broadcast a Yankee game.
He was in town to promote the Phil Rizzuto Collection, his personal memorabilia that will be auctioned off this summer by Geppi's Memorabilia Road Show (www.gmrs.com). Included in the stunning 1,000-lot collection are such keepsakes as his 1950 uniform and cap with a 56-year-old piece of gum still stuck on top, World Series rings, a Yogi Berra mitt, a 1956 Mickey Mantle Christmas card to Phil and the platinum record for the Meat Loaf classic "Paradise By The Dashboard Light."
Phil and Cora, who have been married for 62 years, will be leaving their New Jersey home, the same home they raised their four children in and move to upstate New York to live with their daughter Penny and her family.
Why do I fear (reading this) that we're going to see black arm bands on the Yankees unis some time this season?
Posted by Steve Lombardi at February 3, 2006 10:08 AM
I'm sure they have their reasons for moving and auctioning stuff off...
Hopefully none of the reasons are health-related (I wouldn't think so, if they're moving upstate)
Listening to the report on the news this morning, I was thinking about some Rizzuto memories. He seems to be a genuinely nice person and I wish him the best. His commentary on PIX bothered some, but I thought it added a nice "homespun" touch to the broadcasts, sending out well-wishes and talking about cannolis, and of course introducing "WW" into the scoring lexicon. He may have said otherwise, but I've always felt that PIX not allowing him to attend Mantle's funeral back in '95 was the reason for his retiring, and I hold them responsible.
I attended a Phil Rizzuto Day at the Stadium a few years back. I think it was his wedding anniversary, the occasion has been lost to time (which is scary, as it wasn't all that long ago). I do remember the organization gave him a car (also lost to time, don't remember if it was a Mustang, or a T-Bird), and he and Cora (a beautiful woman if I ever saw one) did a lap around the field in it.
And who could forget his HoF speech? I was there (actually, in transit, as I encountered car trouble on I-88). I did manage to catch a rebroadcast on MSG, and it was one of the funniest things I've ever seen. Whether it was him swatting at (and eventually getting) flies, or remarking that he was suprised he didn't see any Italians in New Guinea, it was by far the most unique speech I've ever heard.
I wish he and Cora and the rest of the Rizzuto family all the best.
Posted by: Raf at February 3, 2006 11:18 AM
Raf, maybe you're thinking of the Phil Rizzuto Day in 1994? (obviously for this HoF induction). I remember going to that game. They had to move the date of the ceremony at the Stadium because of the looming strike (which started a couple days after this game).
Or you could be thinking of 2 years ago when they gave away the bronze statuettes of him.
Posted by: Jen at February 3, 2006 01:54 PM
I loved listening to the Scooter on PIX. To me, his announcing embraced one of the pleasures of going to a baseball game. You get to sit and talk with a friend, and every so often something happens on the field. Baseball is leisurely, not slow.
Posted by: rbj at February 3, 2006 02:25 PM
Oh and PS, IIRC, didn't Scooter spend the war years in the Navy, riding horses in the desert Southwest?
Posted by: rbj at February 3, 2006 02:38 PM
White used to razz him on that - Phil claiming to be in the "Naval Calvary." It was classic.
Posted by: Steve Lombardi at February 3, 2006 02:46 PM
Jen - maybe it was '94; I haven't been going to many games the last few years. I was sitting in the upper deck, which I stopped doing on a regular basis in '95, I think. I had been splitting time between the UD & the bleachers.
What year did Ali Ramirez pass away? I was at the game, in the bleachers, for that announcement. His face was featured on the jumbotron, which I thought to be a nice touch by the organization.
Anyway do you remember the events I described? The lap around the park with Cora?
Posted by: Raf at February 3, 2006 03:38 PM
Ali passed away in '96. I wasn't in the bleachers at that point (still in college), but I'm pretty sure it was right around the time of Gooden's no-hitter. In fact I think I remember reading that his funeral was on the same day. If you catch a re-run of the game, they cut away to a couple signs for Ali.
I don't remember the lap around the park. But I do remember getting souvenir LeRoy Neiman posters and it seemed like half of them ended up on the field in the form of paper airplanes. It was a Tuesday night game btw, if that helps any.
Posted by: Jen at February 3, 2006 05:25 PM
hmmm, the game I was at was a day game; weekend...
Posted by: Raf at February 5, 2006 01:24 PM
Ali Ramirez did die in 1996. To be exact he died May 8, 1996. My grandfather was buried the day of the no hitter. I still remember that day; every one said that my grandfather Ali was the star above the stadium. He was a true Yankee's fan. Thank you all for remembering him still after 10 years.

Ways to Bond With Your Animal
June 12, 2015
Forming a good animal connection is essential for health and happiness for both the animal owner and the animal. So how do you do that?
The easiest way is to think about the way people connect with their babies and even with other people.
Bonding with an animal is natural for any animal lover. Most people love cats or dogs or both. Some ideas to help the animal connection develop deeper and faster are:
1 – Spend time. There is no substitute for time in a relationship. This goes for people but also for animals. Animals are often nervous at first but over time, they warm up and bond with their new owner. Dogs and cats tend to "grow" on people over time.
2 – Play with them. Both people and animals love to play. Play is enjoyment. For a cat, chasing a laser pointer or a ball of yarn works great. For dogs, nothing beats a good game of fetch. For most people, one of the reasons they get the pet is for play. Animals are cute when they play or as some people (who like puns) say "they are more fetching". Animals appreciate and bond to the person who they see as their play/fun mate.
3 – Groom them. People bond with animals if they groom them. This can be simple petting through to brushing them. And who does not want a better groomed pet. Animals and people both respond to touch.
4 – Walk them. This mostly applies to dogs. Dogs love to go for walks and hikes. And it is healthy for them and their owners. Pet owners live longer according to Dr. Oz. Pet owners have less stress, lower cholesterol, and higher immunity. Likely a good part of this is the added exercise pet owners get.
Animal connection is natural. Follow your instincts and you will bond easily. After all, dogs and cats are people too. OK – so they are not really but they will seem like it after there is a good bond formed.

Post-operative brain damage claim settled
Posted: 5th November 2012
A mother whose heart stopped a fortnight after having her gall bladder removed at an NHS hospital has won six-figure compensation from the NHS. The woman, aged in her 40s, had suffered from multiple gallstones along with a number of other medical complaints and went into the hospital for surgery in September 2002.
Her lawyers did not criticise the surgery itself, but claimed that post-operative care given to the woman was sub-standard. Post-surgery complication were said to have caused bile to leak into her system, resulting in acute pain, sepsis and, ultimately, a catastrophic cardiac arrest. She suffered serious brain damage and has ever since required daily support and care from her devoted family so that she can cope with the demands of everyday life.
Through her daughter, the woman sued the Plymouth Hospitals NHS Trust which agreed to a final settlement of her claim without any admission of liability. As well as a £107,000 lump sum, the woman will receive annual, index-linked and tax-free payments of £20,000 for the rest of her life to cover the costs of her care.

After one sip you'll be swaying back and forth with the rhythm of the ocean.
I went up to my home town of Kansas City this past weekend. The temperature was unseasonable warm with the highs in the low 50's and lows in the 30's. What's warm to some is not warm to me. This island loving Floridian was cursing the bone-chilling gusts of wind and staying close to his beach girl for warmth.
While it's good to relive a little "back where I come from," it was definitely good to retreat back to the lower latitudes of south Florida.
This week's Boat Drink recipe is just the kind of liquid reminder that will help you remember those warm summer days or it might even inspire you to work on a Caribbean escape plan. It's called the Cruzan Blue Latitude and it's a fruitiful blast of the tropics that is sure to satisfy those island day dreams…at least for a little while.
Cruzan Blue LatitudeIngredients:
- 1 part Cruzan Orange Rum
- 1 part Blue Curacao
- 1 part Orange Juice
- 1 part Lemon-Lime Soda
Mixing Instructions: Pour Cruzan Orange Rum and Blue Curacao in a tall glass over ice. Fill with orange juice and top with lemon-lime soda. Raise glass and toast.
Let me know what you guys think! Oh, wouldn't the name Blue Latitude make a great name for a boat? Dibs!

LEIMANN, Beatriz Consuelo Quinet e KOIFMAN, Rosalina Jorge. Cryptococcal meningitis in Rio de Janeiro State, Brazil, 1994-2004. Cad. Saúde Pública [online]. 2008, vol.24, n.11, pp.2582-2592. ISSN 0102-311X. https://doi.org/10.1590/S0102-311X2008001100013.
The objective of this article was to evaluate the epidemiology of cryptococcal meningitis in Rio de Janeiro State, Brazil, from 1994 to 2004. Six hundred and ninety-six cases of cryptococcal meningitis were reported, with a mean incidence of 0.45 per 100,000 inhabitants. Patients were predominantly male; mean age was 35.9 years; AIDS was practically the only underlying disease, reported in 61.2% of cases; case-fatality was 51.8%. No decline in incidence was observed during the study period. AIDS is the main predisposing condition for cryptococcal meningitis, and thus the profile of most patients mirrors that of HIV infection. Missing information prevented the evaluation of other underlying diseases.

Dr Enamul Kabir and Dr Siuly Kabir with their son, Srijon.
If Vincent van Gogh, Ludwig van Beethoven, Helen Keller or Frida Kahlo were alive today and in a moment of wild-eyed madness decided to permanently migrate to Australia, would we accept them?
I suppose you could argue that they're highly skilled and their social contributions are quite possibly monumental. But judging by the requirements of Australian migration law the odds are against them. Why? Because they all had disabilities: Van Gogh suffered depression, Beethoven was deaf, Keller was blind and Kahlo had polio.
In order to migrate to Australia you have to pass a health test where disability is taken into consideration. Applicants are assessed based on the potential cost to the state of their disability. And the Disability Discrimination Act is suspended, meaning that the state can legally discriminate against people with disabilities. Kinda like they're doing against Aboriginal people in the Northern Territory Intervention where the Racial Discrimination Act is suspended.
Now all of this was meant to have changed following a 2010 Senate Inquiry into discrimination against potential migrants with disabilities. The government promised in 2012 to adopt a 'net benefit' approach where, in the words of former immigration minister Christopher Bowen, "an individual's health costs can be offset by the benefit their family will bring to Australian society."
But judging by one recent case the outcome remains the same: people with disabilities are still seen by the state as not sufficiently cost-effective.
Take the example of the Kabir family. Dr Enamul Kabir works as a statistician at Queensland University and Dr Siuly Kabir just completed her PhD in biomedical engineering and is now working as a researcher. They're pretty much your model citizens: last year Dr Kabir paid around AUD18,000 in taxes and together they are performing the kind of research that even an anti-intellectual Abbott government would applaud.
Yet the Kabirs have a problem. Or, more accurately, they have a son called Srijon. Srijon has very mild autism. So mild, in fact, that Dr Graham Bench declared that while he may once have had autism, he has now overcome it and can't be considered developmentally delayed. Srijon's teachers say that his condition is present but improving. But in July of this year the Kabirs received notice that their application for a skilled resident visa had been declined as their son did not satisfy the health requirements. There was no inquiry into how the Kabirs are contributing to society, only a (fabulously erroneous) presumption that Srijon would be expensive.
Aside from its gob-smacking absurdity, this decision raises some interesting questions about how inclusive a society we really are and, more philosophically, how a human life should be measured.
Until the Gillard government's response to the Senate Inquiry, disabled people were automatically excluded from consideration because they were seen as imposing too much of a financial burden on government services. A person's worth was measured according to their revenue-earning capacity. The Gillard Government, on paper at least, partly redressed this in their response. They allowed for social contributions to be weighed against financial costs and for compassionate or compelling reasons to be taken into account.
The problem is that in practice the reforms don't appear to have brought about much change. Parents of children with disabilities, even mild autism are being discriminated against and refused residency, and in the case of the Kabirs, officials have failed to inquire into how the family may be contributing to society.
Professor Emeritus Ron McCallum AO, Senior Australian for the Year 2011, who has been blind since his birth, says, "If I now applied to migrate to Australia, despite the fact that I am a former Dean of Law of the University of Sydney, I doubt that I would be let in."
These procedural issues are symptomatic of a deeper malaise with our migration laws: disability is seen as an issue of individual fault and social cost rather than an issue of human difference that needs to be accommodated in a pluralistic society.
The 'financial burden' of providing services and support to people with disabilities needs to be seen as simply a necessary part of the architecture of a society that embraces diversity. The problem does not lie with the person in a wheelchair, it resides with the building that doesn't have wheelchair access. Similarly, migrants with disabilities are not the problem. The problem lies with perceptions of disability services as a costly drain rather than a social good.
In singling out and discriminating against people with disabilities, Australia's migration laws reflect a view of disability as something pathologically different, rather than simply a state that everyone is born into, will die in and will probably experience through illness at some stage.
Our physical and mental health is, in the span of a lifetime, something quite fleeting and fragile. We will all experience dependency. The myth of the autonomous individual who roams outside webs of care and support is precisely that: a myth. Disability is a fact of life.
Migration policies speak to a global stage. They're a means of publicising Australian values to the rest of the world. At present we have migration policies that explicitly allow the state to discriminate against people with disabilities. For us to espouse any ideals of social inclusivity and diversity we need to remove the barriers that reject human difference at the door.
The Kabirs are currently contesting their case in the Migration Review Tribunal. Please support their case through emailing or telephoning your local member.

Is meditation making me "soft?"
Recently while coaching a brilliant young woman, I heard her utter the words, "I'm not pretty enough" and my heart nearly broke wide open with sorrow. I thought perhaps I would burst into tears in our session because all I notice when I'm in her presence is the sheer beauty of who she is—both inside and out. Rather than fleeing my impulse to hide my tears as she spoke, I breathed more deeply and shared with her my experience. Our mutual acts of courage and tenderness left us both sniffling for several moments as we compassionately connected.
Yesterday while walking through Seattle's Experience Music Project with my visiting 2nd cousin, I felt myself go all soft and mushy as his twelve-year-old, slightly sweaty palms entwined with my own fingers while he guided me through the horror exhibit and led me gleefully into the "scream room."
And, you might as well knock me over with a feather and send in the box of tissues when I receive a compliment or praise on my book, As I Lay Pondering. I continue to be humbled and thrilled as others reveal how my words are touching their lives and helping shape their days. I can't imagine my tender emotions ever abating on this topic.
I also saw "The Artist" today and found myself with a lump in my throat as tears dripped down the heroine's cheeks and when "The Dog" repeatedly plead for his master's well being.
I've always sniffled at Hallmark commercials and wiped my tear-filled eyes when the princess finds her prince, but something about this new "softness" feels rich and strong. Piver speaks about becoming "both more resilient and more gentle." Yes. Strong and tender. Bold and humble. Fierce and mild. Open. Willing. Able to meet the world in new ways. Colors are more brilliant. Rain feels like a gentle cloak rather than a suffocating torrent. And if there were an 8th dwarf in Snow White's crew (and I were it), you could just call me Softie.
So, is it meditation that's making me soft? Hmmm... I'm off to ponder if that's the case for these feelings or perhaps they are simply the residual effects of an increasingly open heart. Whatever it is, I think I like it.
Finally... when and where do you notice tenderness in your life? Would you prefer a little more softness? Or do you hold onto the notion that tenderness is weak? What if you could be both fierce and mild in the same moment... or greet the world with Technicolor vision? Would a few minutes of meditation each day be worth the time? How might you "soften" to this experience? I'd love to know where your pondering takes you!
btw - today's photo scene was so overwhelmingly beautiful to me on a recent walk, i implored my dear husband to stop and snap the shot... just one more example of having an open heart, methinks.

Come Fly with Me
Part of my practice for the year has been increased attention toward a quiet meditation practice. In her book, Comfortable with Uncertainty, Pema Chodron talks about "surprise mind." You sit down and —wham!—a rather nasty surprise arises. So be it... Then—wow!—a delicious surprise appears. Okay. This part is not to be clung to but compassionately acknowledged... and let go. The surprises are endless.
I love "surprise mind" (although it does provide some interesting challenges in meditation)! Today's "surprise" was the birthing of Come Fly with Me. Take a moment. Stop. Breathe. Listen. Pause right now and notice if you can imagine your dreams—yes, yours—spreading out through the world on gossamer wings... reaching and extending through the soft breath of whispering clouds until they permeate the universe. Now imagine this happening at daybreak over the Sonoran desert within a vast silence punctuated only by the generated heat to fill a multi-colored balloon and the delight of playful adults on a bold adventure. Immerse yourself into this landscape and imagine your personal dream rising with the balloon. Next hear your name being whispered into the crystal blue sky. Finally witness both dream and name gently released into the world with love, grace, and delight.
Sound good? Can you feel it? Yes? Then you are personally invited to join me as I embark on a magical mystery tour over the Sonoran desert where I will be releasing beauty, love, and OUR dreams into the world. Dorothy of Kansas never made it into her hot air balloon, but I have a reserved spot to climb into mine next week... And, the surprise is that my heart is compelled to take YOU along with me. A few spirited sojourners will physically join me, but since basket space is limited, I have created another way for you to come fly with me and simultaneously support our dreams!
Flying with me is simple...
· Between now and Wednesday, March 14 @ Noon Pacific Time, send me a note requesting that I share your dream. If you want to include dream details, please keep them brief as the ride is only one hour.
If you feel compelled to join the dream-sharing fun, then read on...
· My dream is for my new book As I Lay Pondering: daily invitations to live a transformed life to spread around the world and touch countless hearts and lives in meaningful ways.
You can select a way (or two) and help spread my dream...

Wildly Wonderful Team Encounters
Synchronicity and/or happy coincidences are two of my favorite topics. They spread deeply within my soul from encounters with others in the most unexpected places. Last week while visiting Tulsa, Oklahoma for my book launch, I had the opportunity to meet nearly 100 people over a few days time. As I think back on the time there, I could get myself all hung up on the fact that "only" 20 arrived for the physical book reading. Or that my "friends" were caught up in busy schedules and didn't have much time or interest in me or my visit. But as I sink into the overall experience, I realize that exactly the right people showed up at the most opportune times and "strangers" contributed to deep personal encounters and offered instance after instance that left me covered in goose bumps... or as one of my favorite Team members describes: "truth bumps." (You can learn more about "the Team" in Martha Beck's new book called Finding your Way in a Wild New World.)
Today I'd like to share a few examples of what it looked like for me to meet others on "the Team:"
• I met Debbie at a Cabi party as I overheard her mention a name I recognized and felt drawn to have more conversation with her. For the next several minutes, we huddled together like co-conspirators as we reveled in the things we had in common. She whispered to me after several minutes, "Have you noticed that not all people think like we do?" This came on the heels of our conversation regarding a passion toward living life more fully and authentically. (Check out her passion at happyfirst.com)
• Shonda arrived at the same event and I felt her presence before I met her. She quietly scooted in and sat down beside me and I could sense she was someone very special. Later my sister-in-law Carol (a bonafide Team member) introduced us and let me know that Shonda would be "working on me" come Monday. She is a fabulous massage therapist and body worker whose healing power moves magically through her hands.
• All-business Stephanie served us breakfast and Carol handed her a postcard inviting her to the next evening's book reading. She returned to the table with a softened appearance and gentle candor as she confessed to a challenging existence and knowledge that this was exactly what she needed.
• Martha looked at me through teary eyes when I told her I was an accountant-turned-artist and simply said, "Will you be my counselor?"
• Suzzi and I became acquainted after our eyes locked from across the room of the coffee house where I was to read later that night. I felt compelled to go speak to this "stranger" who sat in the corner reading a book. Come to find out, she teaches centering prayer and our personal stories were so overlapped that I could only shake my head in wonder as I walked away from our 5 minute chat. (Suzzi now owns a copy of my book and I'm certain we have not seen the last of each other.)
• Dian showed up at The Coffee House on Cherry Street when a friend of hers "randomly" sent her the Facebook invitation to my event. As in the other meetings, our stories had an intertwined aspect and the synchronicities continue to grow.
• Greg may still be trying to figure out what happened when he opened the cover of my book at a meet-n-greet party and found himself captivated by the words. He thought it a fluke, so opened to another page and again was enthralled. After the third try with similar results, he pulled me aside and spent several minutes quizzing me on how I could get inside his head so completely in just a few short sentences. My hunch is that Greg is a member of the team who is newly arriving. ☺
• Amy (another friend of Carol's) arrived at the restaurant after the reading, because she felt compelled to meet me. As I listened to her story, I knew I'd found another mate.
• There were also Deb, Will, Kelly, Renie, Scott, Britt, Jennifer, Anitra, and more...
My hunch is that if you visit this site very often then you are a member of the Team! I'd love to hear your stories of synchronicity and "random" encounters. Whaddya say, mates?

The Benefits of Managed IT Services
The modern world of today is certainly different, in so many ways, from the world of only a few years ago. For instance, if modern technology is a big part of your daily life, you might understand that without it, your life could be greatly different from what it is, slower and more inconvenient than you might ever imagine. Modern technology is also great for those who own their own businesses, as it makes a lot of services available to their own use and benefit. For example, business owners can hire the services of a company that offers managed IT services, and when they do so, they can be assured of a lot of wonderful advantages and benefits altogether.
One who hires the services of a company offering managed IT services will be able to benefit, first of all, because taking this step entails a lot of savings on money. The reason is because services like these allow business owners to pay only for what they need, giving them a chance to budget in a more effective manner. This is certainly efficient compared to when you have your own IT personnel, whom you would need to give a regular salary each month, even when you do not particularly need their services.
Hiring the services of a company that offers managed IT services is also a good idea because when you do so, you can be sure that the professionals who work there are certified and well-trained as well as talented and experienced. If you have had no IT training and experience, it is certainly not a good idea to undertake jobs related to it into your own hands, as you can make mistakes which can be seriously detrimental to your business. It is great to know that professionals working for a reputable IT service will be well-certified, meaning that people can benefit a lot of things through hiring these services.
Hiring the services of a company that offers managed IT services is also greatly beneficial to you because when you do so, you can be sure that you can find much more time to deal with other important aspects of your business. One who is a business owner might certainly have so many things on his or her mind, and hiring managed IT services will make the work so much easier for him or her.
When all has been said, then, people who hire the best company which offers managed IT services will be able to benefit, in the long run, advantages which are truly rewarding and satisfying.

I get pretty excited to save money. The "save an extra 30% on sale prices" emails just about get me every time. I end up putting items in shopping bags all across the web! This morning during the Seahawks playoff game (sad outcome), I went a little crazy. If things work out, you'll be seeing new items here from Dorothy Perkins, Piperlime, & the Gap soon! I've been looking for a versatile shirtdress that I can wear 100 ways for sometime now. I think I found one today on Piperlime (I hope so since it's final sale)!
While the description wasn't too detailed, here's what I hope to receive: a drapey fabric with a removable self-tie belt, adjustable cuff sleeves, and a collar that doesn't flop over. And a v-neck that doesn't require a cami. Fingers crossed, people. The color in the image looks great. Coral is a very easy color to pair back to, it can be treated as a neutral or as a pop. Ideally I'll be able to show many ensembes for all seasons with this little clearance item! For now, I've created 2 looks for warm weather & 2 looks for cool weather, all with pieces found in (or similar to items) in my closet. One note, the brown old navy booties in the image below are super bland. I'll post the redux I did to sparkle up the heel on my pair to give them some pretty 'glitter in the grey' punch soon.
A shirtdress can be your best friend in terms of ways to style it. Think outside the box with layering over and under and your one dress can give you 10+ looks!
p.s. this is not a sponsored post. I just love to shop & piperlime has done well for me in the past!

Mourning My Mac.....
Brave Girls Inspiation for you....
Dear Sweet Girl,
It's tempting to go to the ends of the earth to figure out WHY something is happening in our life that we do not understand. Before we know it, this question haunts our thoughts, day and night, stealing all of our joy and distracting us from the gifts that are waiting there for us, distracting us from moving forward, paralyzing us.
Sometimes it is years before we fully understand why things happened the way that they did. Sometimes the understanding just never comes, because we simply can not see all of the pieces of the puzzle of life. It is ok.
With this fact in mind, it is so important, in order to have a joyful and meaningful life that we don't spend much time at all asking WHY when life hands us a set of circumstances that we were not expecting. Instead ask ourselves "how will I make the most of this?"
And you will see, dear friend, that the most WILL be made of it. Before you know it, the question WHY will not even enter your mind because you will be so busy enjoying and working through the now. Trust it. Give it a chance to work itself out.
You are so loved.

So sorry about your Mac Book. Just so happens the exact same thing happened to my fiance's as well. We were out to sea (Navy) at the time it happened so he just bought a new one for the rest of deployment, but when we got home I was able to save his hard drive. They are usually eSata, and if you can get just your hard drive back, you can purchase either a Black Widow or an external enclosure (both can be found at Best Buy, sometimes Walmart:these are very easy to set up)and use it just like an external hard drive to access your data on any other mac computer.ReplyDelete
Good luck, I hope you get all your information back, I know just how important it is! I'm a huge computer geek lol!
If you are entering a GIVEAWAY, please add your email address in the event I need to contact you.

Your group might be just a few people who work together to help meet the needs of their community. You don't have to be a 'formal' organisation to be a community group but you might want to find out if it could help your group to grow even larger and work better.
Setting up as a 'formal' organisation involves some preparation and may change the way you work as a group, so the first thing to consider is whether it might be better to become part of another organisation or continue to work as a community group.
Are there other groups doing what we do already?
In Australia there are over 700,000 community groups and organisations so there may already be someone doing the same sort of work as your group. If there is an organisation doing similar work, you could discuss with them if your group could become members and continue your work with their help. This would give you all the benefits of being part of a larger organisation that might have more experience and resources to help your community.
Before talking to other organisations, you will need to have a clear idea about the aims and objectives or purpose of your own group. Understanding why you are working together and what you want to achieve will make it easier to decide if another organisation is already meeting these needs.
You might decide not to join another organisation but some of the people that you talk to may be able to give you advice if you do decide to become a 'formal' organisation.
The following organisations may be able to help you find out about other groups:
Ethnic Communities Council
Address: 253 Boundary Street West End Queensland 4101
Telephone: (07) 3844 9166
Multicultural Affairs Queensland
Address: Level 5, 160 Ann Street Brisbane Queensland 4000
Telephone: 1800 053 739 (free call)
Multicultural Development Association
Address: 512 Stanley Street South Brisbane Queensland 4101
Telephone: (07) 3337 5400
Caxton Legal Service
Caxton Legal Service is a not-for-profit community organisation that provides free legal information, advice or referral to another solicitor by appointment.
Address: 28 Heal Street New Farm Queensland 4005
Telephone: (07) 3337 5400
Do we need to become a 'formal' organisation?
A community group that is not a 'formal' organisation is also known as an unincorporated association. As an unincorporated association, you can organise your activities largely as you like and will only have few legal responsibilities as a group.
For example if another person or organisation donates money to the group, it should only be used for the activities of the group that benefit the community. This is known as being a not-for-profit group rather than a business.
Although you might have fewer legal responsibilities as a group there are more things that individual group members might be responsible for personally. For example if your group wants to rent an office, someone in the group will need to be personally responsible for signing the lease. If the group is unable to pay the rent for some reason, then the person whose name is on the lease may have to pay. If the group wants to open a bank account or take out insurance or buy property, it will be members of the group who may be liable for any debts or may even be sued.
A community group that is an unincorporated association may also have difficulty applying for or receiving grants from the government or other organisations. However, a group that does become a 'formal' organisation or incorporates will have legal status that is separate to the individual members. This means that members of your group may have more legal protection if there are problems. It also means that you will have a number of legal responsibilities.
Finding out more about becoming incorporated
There are a lot of other things that your group will need to consider before becoming incorporated, including how it might change the way that your group does its work. To understand all the requirements of becoming incorporated, it will help if there are members of your group with English language proficiency and book-keeping skills.
To find out more about becoming incorporated, there is further information provided below and in the following sections. It might also be helpful to talk to other community organisations about their experiences.
Before your group makes any decisions about whether to become incorporated, you might want to ask for advice from a solicitor and/or an accountant.
