Hey, guys. Here's a short story I did for a 1k word Halloween challenge back in 2012. I touched it up a bit, but this is one of my favorites. Enjoy. 🙂
Once upon a bumpy road, there was a van swallowed by darkness. For thirty miles, there was nothing but trees; old trees, big trees, and leaves falling on the windshield like rain. This drive home from work was not new to Tiffany. The excursion in the dead of night, in the middle of wherever, did not scare her. She'd even adapted to the haunting of her family; the faint cries from her child in the backseat, the heavy breathing of her husband next to her, even the huffing of their dog. It'd been two years since that car accident and she was just coming out of her shell, mentally.
This drive home seemed different to Tiffany. It was the dog. The huffing from the back sounded more normal than paranormal. So much that she checked the rearview mirror and turned to look in the backseat…nothing. She shook it off, turned her music up and continued down the black hole of the road. It took a lot to rattle her, traveling in a haunted car and living in a haunted house.
As she approached the driveway of her home, she parked in front and saw the second story bathroom light quickly flash on, then off. One of the more straight-forward paranormal activities in her house, but still normal to her.
When she walked through the front door, the lights turned on and a bunch of people jumped out and screamed "Surprise!"
Some of her co-workers (subordinates) and family were there to celebrate her thirtieth birthday, poor Tiffany forgot it was her birthday. It had no meaning to her without her family physically there to help celebrate, but she tried…she tried. The phony smile came out to celebrate with her mom, sister, a few cousins and over a dozen underlings. It was more than a party, it was an event. And the house provided more than enough room for everyone. It only took thirty minutes for that bogus smile to turn real. Dancing, drinking, laughing, joking…for the first time in two years, Tiffany was having a good time.
She was finished after dancing to three straight songs, felt the buzz coming on, and she collapsed on the sofa. JoAnn stopped to chat with her on the way out. "Happy Birthday, boss lady," she said.
Tiffany smelled the booze jetting out of her mouth. "You're not driving, are you?"
"No, no, no, no, no. I came with Jesse."
Tiffany touched her heart and fell back into the couch. "You and Jesse, huh?"
"Oh, Lord no. He wishes."
"Mhmm. Just be careful with him, okay? His choice in friends aren't the greatest."
"Oh…yeah…you mean Corbin."
"For a minute, I thought he'd show up, but Jesse assured me," JoAnn said, and still, looked around.
"Oh, I would've called the cops immediately."
"Thank God you fired him."
"Well, the sexual jokes were getting to be a bit much. And someone said he followed them home—it was just long overdue."
"The man was toxic…and hairy."
Tiffany nodded and laughed. "Yeah, he was hairy."
When everyone left, her mom and sister stayed to help clean. It was a lot of house, even with the party restricted to the first floor. So, her mom took this time, again, to urge Tiffany to sell the house and move back to the city to be closer to her still living relatives. She didn't say it in those words though. God, no. But it was clear, it was clear. Tiffany didn't give her an answer right then. But it would be no. It would always be no.
Tiffany walked her mom and sister to their car in the back of the house, where everyone parked. She gave them a hug and kiss before they drove away.
When she walked to the front where her van was parked, her sister's taillights reminded her that she was alone, again. It was a good night though. She needed it.
When she turned from the dark path to go inside, she saw the second story bathroom light cut on and off again. Maybe someone left behind.
She ran inside and slammed the front door. Creeping through the front room toward the back, she listened for any creaks in the sensitive wood flooring of the ancient house. Nothing.
"Hello!" she called from the bottom of the stairway. No answer. She started up the steps and her confidence faded. Her legs began to shake, she was cold. At the top of the steps, "Hello," she called out once more. Not a peep.
She shuffled down the hallway toward the bathroom and the thought of a party guest still being here was no longer the case, this was another paranormal experience. She was sure of it.
Tears filled her eyes and dripped down her cheeks as she opened the bathroom door. The light flicked on…stayed on this time, and she walked in, looked around and stopped at the sink.
There was writing on the mirror, in color marker. It read: 'The hairy man is in the van, mommy.'

If time is money then knowing the current time, or, knowing how much time we have left to accomplish something, or, knowing how much time before we need to be somewhere are important considerations. I just conducted a brief survey and found that our home has 9 clocks and 12 watches, not to mention the clocks on each Mac, iPhone, and iPad, or the clocks emanating from the cable company's DVR, the kitchen oven, or the microwave.
Much of my day is devoted to staring into an iMac with that gorgeous Retina 5k display. My work is such that keeping track of my time on various projects is important. For that and other time keeping chores, I use the Mac's built-in clock, a great time tracking app called OfficeTime, a large plastic, battery-powered clock to the right of the Mac's screen, a kitchen egg timer, and a stopwatch, all within an arm's reach.
Despite all those time-keeping devices near at hand, I'm always looking for a new way to tell the time or check the time or time the time. Here's one you might like. It's called OSXClock and the developer obviously cares about how time is displayed and the fact that simple alarms and timers are important to those of us who care about using time to the fullest.
Here's what OSXClock looks like on your Mac's screen.
OSXClock is big enough to be seen even on large Mac displays, but can also be set to fullscreen mode with a click. Another click gets you an alarm. Another click gets you a timer.
Clock, alarm, timer.
What else do you need? I'm from a different generation so I wouldn't mind seeing an analog clock with hour, minute, and second hands instead of the standard digital numeric layout, but that's a minor nit since OSXClock has such a nominal price tag.
OSXClock also comes with a 14-day try-before-you-buy option and that seems unusual considering the low price tag, but that tells you something how how elegant the clock, alarm, timer is to use. It's one thing to know the time, but it's also useful to have a timer that can remind you to do something with an alarm, or let you time an event or work to the second.
This is one clock that adheres to the 'Small is beautiful' or 'less is more' mantra. It's nicely done, simple, elegant, and a pleasure to use.

If steven segal and chuck norris had a fight, that fight would last for 50 years and the worlds population would eventually die out through their awesome ninja moves. Basically every one would stop what they were doing and just watch the action. Eventually people would die of hunger, but they wouldn't care cos they'd have seen something close to perfection. Their mums and dads wouldn't care either cos they'd be dead too, either from the awesomeness, the hunger, or perhaps from people trying to copy what they had seen. So here is the moral of that fine and scary tale. Do not try to copy ninja moves, you will only kill your loved ones as ninja's invented these moves for one purpose only. DEATH. And getting to the front of the lunch queue

Career development is very important, particularly to those individuals who have been working in the identical business, even perhaps for the same firm, for a while. So before we set off to revamp a new curriculum or determine that corporate universities and programs are the only to resolve the job market's real needs, educators, learners and employers must step into each other's worlds. This allows much more options for these students who're juggling careers, family, and their training.
For a compilation of some of the finest on-line universities to verify often for online teaching jobs, check out About's WorkAtHomeMoms website on telecommuting jobs. Just google online instructing job." We did and acquired 103,000,000 results. If these college students are already so competitive in class just imagine how competitive would they be once they move on to larger training and after that, work.
Candidates will be dynamic educators with a passion for instructing and pupil studying. Please use the Z83 Software Form for all employment applications with the Division of Greater Schooling and Training. With some education, with a descent amount of time spent learning article advertising (which is fairly easy really) you may go from making 20$ on an article to 350$ per year on that same article.
Even in decrease training degree, students are already competing with one another to find out who will get the highest grade in school. Postsecondary training administrators help college students with a wide range of duties, akin to registering for courses and completing admissions applications.
We perceive the challenges faced by our HE Purchasers including the function of IT in attracting college students in an increasingly competitive atmosphere, the potential impact that BREXIT may have on EU student numbers and the investments required for Student Lifecycle Improvement Programmes to develop the standard of the Scholar Expertise.

......a friendly nurturing-nudge; keep in mind that in order to be at your very best for your loved-ones, your health and self-care take top priority! This December, be as kind and generous to yourself, as you are to your family and friends. Schedule a personal massage; de-stress and bring in the New Year in a calm and focused fashion! Book on-line; let your fingers do the shopping; (you don't need to be 'malled;' and I'll be there for you with a healing touch.
Continuing Education Update:
Currently, I am in the process of writing an article about migraine and cluster headaches.
It's been an interesting process so far. I just learned that women are predisposed to migraines, and men are more likely to experience cluster headaches, which I was not at all aware of. I would appreciate any feedback you may have: your personal experiences of headache-onset, behavior that has helped you catch and treat them before they become full-blown, etc. This blog can be an arena where, by sharing what has worked for you, you can benefit other headache sufferers, and in turn learn new coping mechanisms that you may never have considered.
Hands on for December……It's been a barrel full of monkeys!!
I had the pleasure of participating in a massage fundraiser on the 12th of this month that helped fund the New Mexico Animal Protection's campaign to secure freedom for over 200 chimpanzees. These laboratory chimps are still being warehoused in a research facility located on Holloman Air Force Base in Alamogordo, New Mexico. Some of my loyal massage clients, who couldn't attend this event, called in and sponsored me instead! Saturday's event was such a satisfying experience for everyone. Catching up with friends, colleagues, and clients I hadn't seen for a while, and volunteering my massage skills made the day complete, and because of the generosity of Saturday's attendees and phone-in donors, these chimps will be retired to grassland parks instead of remaining in their current concrete and wire cages.
If you would like to donate to Animal Protection of New Mexico, please visit their website, http://www.apnm.org/, where you can get additional information about other programs they spearhead: The Equine Protection Program, Coexisting with Cougars, and The New Mexico Animal Resources Guide, to name a few.
A big thank-you goes out to Linda Delker, event sponsor and owner of Crystal Mountain Massage Therapy School, my alma mater!

How do you make money on YouTube? Try these tactics.
Can people really be making money on YouTube? This is a question many of us have thought to ourselves — after all, we've heard the success stories of how much money some of the top influencers make through advertising and sponsorships.
The reality is, yes, you can make money on YouTube — and if you are creative and strategic enough, you can earn good money doing it.
If you're an entrepreneur looking for ways to monetize YouTube, consider the guide below as a starting point.
How do you make money on YouTube? Four revenue tracks to consider.
The tactics in this guide will show you:
- How to earn money on YouTube through the YouTube Partner Program (YPP).
- How to get started with sponsored videos.
- Why you should consider selling your own goods or services.
- How to use branding, SEO and marketing to earn more money on YouTube.
Let's dive in.
1. Join the YouTube Partner Program (YPP)
Starting in January 2018, YouTube changed its monetization policy to gain more control over their users' ability to earn revenue through the platform. Now, users must apply and be accepted into the YouTube Partner Program (YPP) before they are able to monetize their content and channel directly.
Not only is there an application process, but there are minimum eligibility requirements. The threshold to being admitted into the YouTube Partner Program:
- Ensure your channel adheres to the YouTube Partner Program guidelines.
- Live in one of these countries or regions.
- Have over 4,000 public watch hours over the previous 12 months.
- Have 1,000 or more subscribers to your channel.
- Link an active Google AdSense account.
To apply for the YouTube Partner Program, follow these steps:
- Log in to your YouTube account.
- Navigate to the Creator Studio.
- Using the left menu, select "Status and features" under the channel section.
- Select "Enable" under the monetization section.
- Complete the steps and apply.
Note: As of March 8, 2019, YouTube notified users that the application process to be accepted into the YouTube Partner Program is taking longer than one month.
Once accepted into the YPP, you will have access to creator resources, tools and support. But, most importantly, you'll be able to start earning money on your content directly.
Below are some of the monetization options for YouTube users within the YPP.
Earn money with AdSense
YouTube is a subsidiary of Google. As such, they allow users to monetize their videos using one of Google's other products — AdSense. Google AdSense is a free service that connects publishers with relevant advertisers. If you're an approved publisher, when a viewer lands on your video, they might see an advertisement related to your audience or content.
Advertisers are looking for channels to reach their target audience, and YouTubers want to monetize their video content.
AdSense provides a bridge for those two objectives. As it relates to the earning potential of AdSense on YouTube, it's estimated that creators earn between $3 and $10 per 1,000 viewer engagements, which for someone who can generate 10,000 views a day can be $300 or more.
To start earning money from your YouTube channel with AdSense, you'll need to have an active AdSense account. If you don't already have an AdSense account, you can apply for one here.
There is more to AdSense than just signing up. You will need to make some decisions about the type of advertisements you want to display and the format of those ads on your channel.
If you want to block specific brands or sensitive categories, such as religion, gambling, sexuality, etc., you can do so within the AdSense dashboard. You can also dictate the ad experience to a certain extent by choosing the ad format on your videos or channels.

Benefit from YouTube Premium revenue
While ads are the most common revenue stream for YouTubers, a second monetization option for YPP members is shared revenue from YouTube Premium views.
YouTube Premium is a service from YouTube that allows viewers to pay a monthly subscription to view original and ad-free content in addition to downloading videos for offline viewing.
The users benefit from a friendlier experience and YouTube benefits by receiving a direct revenue stream irrespective of ad interactions.
If viewers are not being shown ads, how are your earnings determined? YouTube distributes a percentage of its revenue to creators based on the number of viewers and length of time spent viewing your content.
YouTube Premium and its revenue-sharing model incentivize creators to continue to produce high-quality videos, which in turn provides value to its viewers through premium, original content.
Add the Channel Memberships feature
Do you have a highly engaged following? If so, you might want to see if your YouTube channel is eligible for channel memberships.
YouTube's channel membership feature allows select channels to offer special rewards and perks to viewers who subscribe and pay a monthly fee. In exchange for being a paying member to a channel, the viewer might gain access to exclusive content, live chats or other bonuses like custom badges or emojis. These small perks provide additional value to the end user in exchange for a small, recurring payment.
In other words, channel memberships can be an excellent revenue source for YouTubers who can find creative ways to incentivize paying members.
Sell products with merchandise shelf
YouTube has also designed a feature for creators who offer merchandise to their fans — known as the merchandise shelf. If you live in one of the approved countries and have more than 10,000 subscribers, you might be eligible to start earning money with YouTube's merchandise shelf.
This feature is pretty straightforward in that it allows YouTube channels to display up to 12 items from the creator's Teespring merch page (this feature is only eligible for products created on Teespring).
YouTube is also incentivizing creators to push this revenue stream by offering an additional $1 per item sold through the merchandise shelf on top of the revenue earned through the sale of the merch.
If you've built a loyal fanbase and have a marketable brand, the merchandise shelf could be an additional way to earn money on YouTube outside of the more traditional advertising models.
Enable the Super Chat function
Lastly, within the YPP, creators can monetize their channels through another feature called Super Chat.
Super Chat allows viewers to pay to have their comments pinned to a live video or chat messages.
The more a viewer pays, the more prominent their message. This enables your followers to feel more connected to your content and gives them the opportunity to interact with you directly. As a result, you receive a percentage of the fee they paid to feature their comment.
2. Sponsored video: Become an affiliate or sponsor other brands
The traditional way of making money on YouTube has always been the YouTube Partner Program. But how do you make money on YouTube if you're not part of the YPP? In fact, there are many other ways to use YouTube to drive revenue beyond AdSense and other YPP monetization features.
One of the best ways to generate revenue through your YouTube channel without relying on YPP is through the marketing of other brands: aka influencer marketing.
Most followers of YouTube channels have distinctly similar demographic and psychographic characteristics — for brands targeting those markets, partnering with a channel that already has a following allows the brand to circumvent the time and resources necessary to build their own, engaged audience on YouTube.
Instead, they can simply pay the creator to market their products or services to their viewers in an organic and engaging manner.
The direct line to a targeted audience isn't the only benefit to using a YouTube influencer; brands can also mitigate the expense of creating content while also acquiring some of the trust that viewers have for the YouTuber.
We know brands value YouTube sponsorships, but just how much? It's estimated that YouTube creators can earn about $2,000 per 100,000 followers when working with sponsored videos.
If you do decide to go the sponsored videos route, remember that you need to follow FTC guidelines for sponsored content and mark your video as an advertisement.
Also, keep your audience in mind as you create the sponsored content. They are following you for a reason, and if you start posting too much promotional content or videos that are outside the scope of your typical content, you might lose your viewers.

3. Sell your own goods or services
Another way to use your channel to generate revenue is to create and sell your own products or services.
YouTubers can go beyond the merchandise store's Teespring page and create their own online store through an eCommerce platform. Then, using the reach of their YouTube channel, they can attract and convert viewers into paying customers.
While most YouTubers will go the merchandise or branded swag route such as T-shirts, coffee mugs, hats or bags, the more innovative you are the better.
For example, if you publish motivational or inspiring videos on your YouTube channel, consider writing and publishing a physical book or eBook. Or, maybe you can sell individual consulting or mentoring calls to interested viewers.
When it comes to using YouTube to generate revenue through your own products or services, it's all about finding creative ways to market your talents or goods. Think outside the box and look for ways to offer value to your viewers beyond the normal merchandise.
4. Leverage branding, SEO and marketing to make more money on YouTube
Now that you know how to earn money on YouTube, it's time to look at how to actually succeed at generating revenue with your YouTube channel. While getting accepted into the YPP or finding sponsorship opportunities are nice, you should aim to create steady and sustainable revenue streams.
Here are three ways to do that.
Build an engaged audience and following
First and foremost, the only way you are going to earn substantial revenue on YouTube is to have an engaged and active fanbase. If you are not able to generate views on your videos consistently, you'll struggle to earn much money on YouTube.
The best way to build a successful YouTube channel is to create high-quality content.
This might sound easy, but it's incredibly difficult. Producing a great video takes time, strategy, creativity, execution and skill. Moreover, you must frequently post great videos on your channel. If you fail to meet viewers' quality expectations, they could unsubscribe — if you go on a hiatus from posting videos, you risk losing the attention of your viewers.
Emphasize understanding your target audience and be methodical about developing your brand voice.
By taking a measured approach, you can create content that is specifically targeting the views, interests and problems of your target market — thus, setting your channel up for success.
Optimize your channel and videos
Another way to increase your chances of success on YouTube is to make sure you understand and implement optimization techniques for your channel and videos.
Most YouTube creators are not SEO experts and might not even realize that YouTube is a search engine. But, much like its parent company Google, YouTube uses an algorithm to display content that it deems most relevant to various searches.
When you type "best domain registrar" into YouTube's search bar, it's using hundreds of internal signals to determine which video is best to display.
Much like with traditional search engines, subtle nuances can have drastic effects on your rankings for various searches. Understanding the basics of YouTube SEO can help you improve the organic visibility of your videos, which can help you drive more views and subscribers.
From video keyword research and exact match titles to tagging and strategic descriptions, invest a few hours learning the ropes of SEO for YouTube and continue to test techniques to help you improve your view count.
Market your brand and videos off YouTube
While the goal is to use YouTube as a revenue-generating channel, you aren't limited to using the video content on YouTube alone. In fact, the best YouTube channels have active websites and social media channels where they distribute content.
YouTube is just one of the many communication mediums for your brand — not the only one.
Find creative ways to market your brand and videos on your own website and other social platforms.
You can up your digital marketing game with GoDaddy's Online Marketing tools — from easy DIY solutions like email marketing to managed services such as SEO. Using these skills, you can grow a channel-agnostic brand online.
Entrepreneurs who can build a brand that is not dependent on one specific channel for revenue stand the best chance of sustaining success in the long run.
If you invest all your eggs into one basket (YouTube) and the platform makes a change that hurts your ability to drive revenue, you will be left out to dry — just look at Vine or Myspace.
Get started
By following these four revenue tracks — and some patience and hard work — you can start making money on YouTube.
Once you decide on how you're going to make money on YouTube, you need to get a plan in place to market your YouTube channel.
Beyond monetizing your YouTube account, you'll need to claim your social media handles, create a website that your YouTube channel can point to, and have a plan for engaging video content in place.

Food Types > Indian Restaurants > Masala
We welcome positive feedback for any of the food businesses in Shrewsbury and Shropshire that we have listed. Below you will find a list of reviews for Masala. If you agree that Masala offers good food, please add your own recommendation using the short form on this page.
Julian's review
Tucked away on St Julian's Friars, Masala is another great little Indian restaurant. We went on a Monday night and there were only two other groups dining. There was soft music playing (not Indian) and the open plan dining room was well lit. Most of the activity was centered around the front of the building, where the restaurant's takeaway service was proving popular.
The menu was quite extensive, with some more unusual dishes as well as the madras, rogon josh, korma staples. We started with poppadums with mint yoghurt, onion and coriander, mango chutney and lime pickle. This was followed by lamb sagwalla, chick pea sagwalla, plus sides of bombay potato and tarka daal. The food was served quickly and the waiters were very friendly. The portions were quite big but that didn't matter because the food was excellent. We were also given complimentary onion bhajis mid way through the meal which was a nice touch.
The best asset the restaurant has is its manager, John Mustafa. He is always front of house and is the friendliest person you could hope to meet. He used to run the Eastern Eye takeaway in the village of Bayston Hill on the edge of Shrewsbury, and such was his reputation that 50% of his trade now comes from the same village. In the takeaway he used to shake everyone by the hand as they left and happily he still does the same in his restaurant.
Rich's review
I've visited this restaurant quite a few times over the years, the service is always excellent and can't be faulted, efficient and friendly. The food is reasonable and a few years ago was pretty much in line with what you'd expect from an Indian restaurant.
However I think that Indian food in the UK has slowly been changing for the better over the years. No longer are people expected to be happy with the old favourites tika masala, balti, korma etc. People now expect that little more, a deeper and more complex flavour. Unfortunately they haven't embraced this challenge and continue to send out the same food, which in my opinion is no longer good enough.
But clearly judging from how busy the place gets at the weekend this is not a point shared by everyone, but everyone is entitled to an opinion.
Zoe's review
Recommended by a friend, I ordered a takeaway from Masala tonight (St Julians Friars) and it was very good indeed. Order ready to collect within 15 mins (tikka masala, rogan josh). The food was fresh, flavoursome, hot(temperature) and very satisfying (tasty coriander naan too and crisp poppadoms). Very reasonable prices. Staff were very welcoming and friendly. Even though I had to collect, it was worth getting in the car for and parking not a problem. Would definitely use this curry house again. Thanks.
Nick's review
The first Indian I ate at once moving to Shropshire and having tried different places, it is by far the best Indian in the area.
Excellent service, the quality of the food itself is to die for. All in all, A tremendous restaurants.
Thank you to John and his team.
Darren's review
Has to be the best Indian in Shrewsbury, based on service, quality of food and consistency. Never had a bad meal from John and his staff. Have tried others as they dont deliver but it's worth jumping in the car and collecting your meal, it's that good.
Visitor's review
This is one of my favourite places to eat. The food is always very good (best onoin bhajis i have ever had). John is always very warm and friendly, the food is always served quickly, even when the place is busy. I just love the place.
Visitor's review
Visited for the first time after a recent Tanners wine tasting. Best Indian food I'd ever had. Friendly service, efficient and courteous. I shall certainly be re-visiting and so will the other 7 guests I was with

Islands and Beaches
LOOK: This Is How Boracay Really Looks Like Now Before Reopening This October 2018
Belle Piccio | Sep 27, 2018
Due to environmental issues, President Rodrigo Duterte labeled the popular tourist destination as a "cesspool." Not only establishments but also residences not connected to the sewerage treatment facilities caused pollution especially on its waters to extreme levels. To save Boracay and to strictly enforce its rehabilitation he had ordered a 6-month closure of the island that started on April 25, 2018.
READ: Boracay Update #1: After A Month of Closure
Within only less than a month left. Boracay will reopen its port to tourists and guests that would like to enjoy once again the splendor of its beaches. The island's soft opening is scheduled on October 26, 2018.
But, how's the island right now? What are are the changes that we would expect and the ongoing rehabilitation that is taking place right now?
The road widening projects still ongoing.
Now at the beach.
Look how clear the water is!
More photos of the beach...
The powdery white sand…
Have you noticed that the shoreline is clean? We hope that it stays that way. Let's be responsible tourists and guests of the island. Let's help keep Boracay clean not just during its soft opening but for the years to come.
There are only 25 hotels and resorts that the government granted permits to operate starting the first day of its reopening. For the complete list and contact details, READ: First 25 Hotels to Welcome You in Boracay This October.
This first 25 establishments has passed all the requirements needed and strictly complied with the rules and regulations set by the Boracay Inter-Agency Task Force. The Boracay Task Force is composed of the Departments of Environmental and Natural Resources, Tourism and Interior and Local Government.

How to Get There
From Manila, you can fly to Caticlan Airport (estimated cost of PhP9,200++, round trip, 45-50 minutes).
From the Caticlan Airport, a van ride will only take you 5 minutes going to the Caticlan Jetty Port. A pumpboat ride from the Caticlan port to Boracay port will take at about 15 minutes.

Conventional wisdom today in retirement planning is to save a "big bucket of money," make a bunch of assumptions about the future and hope you don't outlive your savings. This is a flawed strategy that can and should be avoided for several reasons. Let me explain.
The strategy recommended by the experts:
- Let's say a retiree needs $75K a year to live the lifestyle they desire. Subtracting income from other sources of $25K, they plan to withdraw $50K per year from savings.
- How much do they need to save? 25 times $50K or $1.25M. If we assume 3% inflation and retirement in 15 years, the inflation adjusted total savings required is $1.9M!
- In year 16 they can start drawing 4% a year. If their annual return on investment equals the annual inflation rate, the funds last exactly 25 years.
What's wrong with this strategy?
- The whole idea of spending down savings or principal is wrong. Who knows how long someone is going to live? And after saving an entire lifetime, who can sleep at night with the possibility of running out of money increasing with each passing year?
- A retiree needs to save a lot of money for this to work (see above.)
- This is a high risk strategy as the variables and assumptions need to align just perfectly or the funds will be depleted in 15 to 20 years. Imagine the feeling of helplessness for a retiree who knows they can't control inflation, volatility of the returns, rates of return or big losses in early years.
What's a better strategy?
- Reject the idea of spending down your nest egg in retirement and start thinking about income replacement at retirement (IncR.)
- Consider buying income producing property to replace lost income from employment with rental income at retirement (talk with your CFP about other investments that can provide real income without liquidating principal.)
- Build a new plan that works for you: provides sufficient IncR, increases your control and reduces the risk of running out of money in retirement.
If you have a BIG bucket of money or a high degree of confidence you can manage through the risks and variables, then carry on! For everyone else, continue reading this blog over the coming months as I outline the steps to build a plan for buying income producing property and replacing income at retirement (IncR.)

Everyday English: Anger
The following is a summary of On Anger (De Ira), a work written in the mid-40s AD by the Roman statesman and philosopher Seneca, where he discusses in detail anger; its variants, consequences and ways to prevent it. It's aimed at intermediate and advanced learners of English and focuses on vocabulary, collocations and idiomatic expressions commonly used by native English speakers when discussing anger, which can be clicked to go directly to the full definition. While the original work is made up of* three volumes, here is a breakdown of some of the key points Seneca makes on how to deal with anger.
You can read for free the full work here: "Of Anger – Wikisource, the free online library"
Or a contemporary translation using colloquial English here: "Anger, Mercy, Revenge (The Complete Works of Lucius Annaeus Seneca)
* to be made up of is a phrasal verb which means to consist or comprise of multiple parts. Such as in "Great Britain is made up of England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland". Do not confuse this with made of, which is used to state the quality or material of something, as in "Clothes are usually made of cotton".
Avoid people, activities, and circumstances that provoke anger.
Easier said than done, but some people just seem to rub us up the wrong way, and no matter what they do or say irritates us, while certain circumstances can drive us mad. It's impossible to escape a nosy neighbour, a busybody, or a pretentious and arrogant boss, however, we can at least try to keep them at arm's length, in other words, not get to close to them. We can do this by either being cold with them or being polite but quiet, often called the silent treatment. This is a common tactic in England, especially between couples, to show that what the other person had said or done was inappropriate and caused offence. Sometimes this silent treatment can last for days or weeks without the couple speaking, and in this case we often use the expression that they are not on speaking terms. However some people have a short fuse, and so find it difficult to keep quiet and explode into a (fit of) frenzy.
Judge others' acts and intentions fairly, accurately, and with a proper sense of proportion.
We are all guilty of causing offence, and many times, we did so without any intention of doing so. A hilarious joke in one country may cause a foreigner to burst into tears. Not because the joke was offensive, but because the foreigner hasn't read between the lines, doesn't understand irony, or loathes sarcasm. So, when someone offends us, first judge whether they did so intentionally or not. Which leads us onto Seneca's next piece of advice.
Make allowances for others and consider grounds for excusing them.
When someone irritates or annoys you, the person may have inadvertently caused offence without meaning to. How many times have you been accused of something when you were innocent? Probably just as many times as you yourself have accused the innocent. Don't be quick to judge or jump to conclusions but first take a deep breath till you've cooled down, and then reassess the situation. If you still judge yourself to have been wronged, then why would that come as a surprise? There is no place in the world where there are not spiteful, bitter, and angry people who take pleasure in insulting others, and so they should be treated as one treats a little biting ant, with complete contempt and disdain, and regard it unworthy of your attention. What do you gain from getting angry? A headache and saying something you later come to regret. But from abstaining from anger and keeping calm? A mind at peace. If however, the person is indeed in need of a reprimand, you'll pay him back later, and with interest for the delay.
Justly assess yourself and your actions, accurately gauge who you are and what you are due.
Sometimes we learn most from our enemies, those who dislike us the most are quick to spot our errors, and will gladly point them out at any other opportunity. Nobody is completely innocent, everyone has lost their temper, or caused trouble one way or another. Such is the state of the human being. Those who criticise our errors are in fact doing us a favour. Ask yourself before going on the defensive, was he right? Did I actually do or say something inappropriate? If so, that's a golden opportunity to work on yourself, eliminating the bad habit that has snuck up on you over the years, which you may not have realised about yourself. The best advice often comes from our worst enemies.
Regard matters with the calm forbearance or humour that perspective brings.
In other words, put things into perspective. Think back to a time when you were last offended and how you felt, now looking back, are you still angry? Probably not, and in fact, you may even be able to laugh about it. If you are still angry, then you risk ending up being the victim of the bitterness and resentment that festers deep within you; sooner or later you'll end up taking it out on those closest to you, and you'll be no better than the person who insulted you in the first place. Best to let bygones be bygones rather than a moody and irascible person and one prone to anger.
Recognize that doing harm to another is contrary to human nature.
While this final point does have strong philosophical undertones, it is obvious that doing harm to another innocent person is wrong. While to criminals, then it can be justified as it sets an example and shows the populace that justice has been done, it is not natural to harm others, especially if they have done no real harm to anyone. Imagine a world where everyone was taking the law into their own hands and hurting everyone they got angry with? That's why justice was one of the four cardinal virtues, along with temperance, prudence or wisdom, and courage. Those virtues are in the film Gladiator, where Commodus said he had none of them. But that he had ambition, which he said while grinding his teeth (see video clip below). It was exactly this ambition that drove his desire to be sole ruler of Rome along with his fury at seeing a slave become more powerful than he, that led to his own grim demise. In fact, it was exactly ambition and injustice that caused the assassination of many a Roman emperor; though the actual Commodus wasn't particularly ambitious though he was unjust and thirsty for blood (see also bloodthirsty).

Here is just a sweet and endearing story of a non-verbal interaction I had with one young child at the end of my travels in Central Europe and the Czech Republic. I am not sure what country she was from and therefore do not know what language she spoke. I can tell you it was not the language of the Czech Republic and it certainly was not English. This was a very common situation for me while staying at the Mosaic House in the heart downtown Prague, Czech Republic. This youth hostel was a very hip and cool international stop-over for people traveling from all over the world.
As one of my last interactions at the Mosaic House, and in Prague, I had the pleasure and absolute fortune of having a international father and his three young girls (one was an infant) sit next to me in the cafe on the mail floor of the hostel. This spot was the "melting pot" of international flavor. They came in and sat down next to my area while I was up getting a second round of food or another double cappuccino. When I was walking back to my seat I was scratching my nose with arm that has no hand. I noticed this young little girl staring at me with a mouth full of food frozen in time and looking as if she was about to choke on her food. As I sat down next to her family I knew I was about to have a special interaction. This is the story of an international non-verbal one-handed interaction with a little girl who's father and family happened to sit next to me.

Your heart normally beats in a regular rhythm and rate that is just right for the work your body is doing at any moment. The usual resting heart rate for adults is between 50 to 100 beats per minute. Children have naturally higher normal heart rates than adults.
The heart is a pump made up of four chambers two upper chambers (atria) and two lower chambers (ventricles). It is powered by an electrical system that puts out pulses in a regular rhythm. These pulses keep the heart pumping and keep blood flowing to the lungs and body.
When the heart beats too fast, too slow, or with a skipping (irregular) rhythm, a person is said to have an arrhythmia. A change in the heart's rhythm may feel like an extra-strong heartbeat (palpitation) or a fluttering in your chest. A heartbeat that is occasionally irregular usually is not a concern if it does not cause other symptoms, such as dizziness, lightheadedness, or shortness of breath. It is not uncommon for children to have extra heartbeats. In healthy children, an extra heartbeat is not a cause for concern.
When heart rate or rhythm changes are minor
Many changes in heart rate or rhythm are minor and do not require medical treatment if you do not have other symptoms or a history of heart disease. Smoking, drinking alcohol or caffeine, or taking other stimulants such as diet pills or cough and cold medications may cause your heart to beat faster or skip a beat. Your heart rate or rhythm can change when you are under stress or having pain. Your heart may beat faster when you have an illness or a fever. Hard physical exercise usually increases your heart rate, which can sometimes cause changes in your heart rhythm.
Dietary supplements, such as goldenseal, oleander, motherwort, or ephedra (also called ma huang), may cause irregular heart beats. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has banned the sale of ephedra, a stimulant sold for weight loss and sports performance, because of concerns about safety. Ephedra has been linked to heart attacks, strokes, and some sudden deaths.
It is not uncommon for pregnant women to have minor heart rate or rhythm changes. These changes usually are not a cause for concern for women who do not have a history of heart disease.
Well-trained athletes usually have slow heart rates with occasional pauses in the normal rhythm. Evaluation is usually not needed unless other symptoms are present, such as lightheadedness or fainting (syncope), or there is a family history of heart problems.
When heart rate or rhythm changes are more serious
Irregular heartbeats change the amount of blood that flows to the lungs and other parts of the body. The amount of blood that the heart pumps may be decreased when the heart pumps too slow or too fast.
Changes such as atrial fibrillation that start in the upper chambers of the heart can be serious, because they increase your risk of forming blood clots in your heart. This in turn can increase your risk for having a stroke or a blood clot in your lungs (pulmonary embolism). People who have heart disease, heart failure, or a history of heart attack should be more concerned with any changes in their usual heart rhythm or rate.
Fast heart rhythms that begin in the lower chambers of the heart are called ventricular arrhythmias. They usually are fast and regular, such as ventricular tachycardia, or fast and irregular, such as ventricular fibrillation. These types of heart rhythms make it difficult for the heart to pump enough blood to the brain or the rest of the body and can be life-threatening. Ventricular arrhythmias may be caused by heart disease such as heart valve problems, impaired blood flow to the heart muscle (ischemia or a heart attack), a weakened heart muscle (cardiomyopathy), or heart failure.
Ventricular tachycardia is a life-threatening arrhythmia that can quickly lead to ventricular fibrillation, which causes death if not treated. Both usually cause fainting (syncope) within seconds, and you may have symptoms of a heart attack. Emergency medical treatment is needed, such as medications and electrical shock (defibrillation).
When you have a change in your heart rhythm or rate, you also may have other symptoms, such as chest pain, shortness of breath, lightheadedness, fainting, confusion, or weakness. Changes in your heart rate or rhythm with other symptoms can be caused by a serious heart problem.
Taking illegal drugs or misusing prescription and nonprescription medications can cause serious heart rhythm or rate changes and may be life-threatening.
Review the Emergencies and Check Your Symptoms sections to determine if and when you need to see a health professional.

My toddler, he wakes up with a smile every morning and showers me with kisses!
My own experience of pregnancy and birth with him was so amazing because I had a fabulous team that supported and guided me throughout…
that motivates me to try and do the same for the women I see in clinic every day.
I truly believe that if women feel supported and respected during their perinatal care they become much more confident and empowered as mothers.
I love getting to meet women in this transformative stage of life, when someone comes to see you with
- swollen feet
- hemorrhoids
- feeling heavy
- tired
…but at the same time super excited about embarking on this adventure you get to see a very vulnerable and intimate side of people that you wouldn't usually see in other situations.
I get to work with women as they create life and prepare for two of the biggest and most rewarding challenges they will ever face…
…giving birth and raising a child!
There's not a single day when I don't feel thankful for having the opportunity and the privilege of being able to do what I love for work!
Dr Thea Treahy-Geofreda
I absolutely believe every human being is designed to be extraordinary!
I believe a life filled with purpose and excitement, feeling vibrant and healthy should NOT be an exception to the rule…it's what I'd consider a normal life.
As a Life By Design Chiropractor, I have the privilege of working with pregnant moms and growing families every day… showing them just how exceptional their bodies are designed to be.
My focus has always been on families, simply because kids have this incredible opportunity to live a life where health is their natural state.
At The Powerhouse, we are passionate about creating a thriving community of growing families in Vancouver.
I bring families through the Life By Design process, helping them fulfill their requirements for exceptional health.
The beauty is, you are never too old or too young to begin.
Your health blueprint begins at birth, so we work with clients as early as days and weeks old to ensure they grow up healthy and strong.
The most rewarding part of my work is watching families take hold of their health; creating a life where their children grow up never knowing what it's like to be unwell.
I am always excited when a new family decides to join our community at The Powerhouse and discover what extraordinary feels like.
Dee Clarke
Even after teaching Fit 4 Two® Pre and Postnatal classes for 10 years, I still love the work.
Waking up knowing that I am going to be seeing a group of moms-to-be or new moms with their adorable babies is a pleasure.
I am passionate about working with this population. Before becoming a pre and postnatal fitness specialist, I was a doula and parenting worker.
As a Fit 4 Two® trainer, I get to serve the same community, but in a different role that gives me more flexibility to be there for my own family. Helping women to have an enjoyable pregnancy and positive birthing experience is something I feel strongly about.
Educating and coaching new mothers to reconnect with and restore their core safely after childbirth is important work.
Our culture in North America puts too much emphasis on "getting your pre-pregnancy body back". Many women have unresolved birth injuries they don't realize are common, but not normal.
They focus on losing the baby weight and getting a flat tummy without first addressing the core of their core.
This can lead to pelvic floor, core and back issues later.
I feel good about helping women to become more in tune with their bodies and, for many, also helping them to reach their personal fitness best.
Creating connection and community among pregnant women and new mothers is something I do well in my classes and something that brings me joy.
The perinatal period is such a special time in a woman's life. I feel honoured to be part of her journey.

|Uncle Tobe and Coop...some day.
Back to Cooper...Coop and I are already good buddies, so I am really looking forward to the day when he can do "big kid" stuff. When that time comes, I have a feeling that we'll be on the water a lot, looking for the "Big One That Got Away From the Ordinary Fisherman". You know that Fish. Fear. Me. After I pass on my fishing knowledge to Coop, he'll be known as Fish. Fear. Me. Too. I'll have him t-shirt made up that has that written on it. I know I am probably sounding like I'm Coop's Daddy, but I just love the boy and want to teach him lots of things about fishing and camping and gardening. Besides, Coop has a fine young man for Dad, so being Uncle Toby (even though he's technically my cousin) is just fine with me. He'll be like a third son to me for sure, but he'll also be kind of a Rent-A- Kid. I get him for the day, have all the fun we can possibly have, wind him up like a cheap clock from Family Dollar Store, then send him back home to Mommy and Daddy. See? The shit works out right. :)
In spite of all the joy that Coop brings into our lives when he gets to visit us, there is some backlash. Every time the boy leaves to go home to his parents, Heather tells me how much she'd like to have another baby, hoping it would be a son. Look, I love kids and kids love me; it's always been that way. I guess they can see the "Big Kid" in me. I am blessed that way. I hope it buys me a few Bonus Points with the Lord. Hear that up there, Lord? But, I digress. So, when Coop leaves to go home later today, I'll hear "Let's have another baby" like it's being played on a loop. Then I remind Heather of my considerable age advantage over her. She's only a few years older than my Number 1 Son. Enough said.
I guess, I'd better get back to Cooper, I've got a mess of redneck ways to teach the boy before I'm too old to do it. In the meantime, if anything Update Worthy crops up, I'll chime in and let you know all about it.
I gotta go now. I have to have a conversation with the Lord about those Bonus Points.

How do I pluck my eyebrows without totally overdoing it?
By Victoria from Wilmington, NC

Follow your natural brow line, and just tweeze the stragglers. What I do, to be safe, is just pluck a few hairs per day, until I see how it looks. You can always pluck more the next day, but you can't put them back on if you've plucked too many. ;) As a general rule, don't pluck the top of the brow unless there are hairs that aren't in line with the rest of the brow. It's best to pluck hairs underneath it. Plucking from the top can give you a permanent frown. Also, putting ice on the skin before plucking can help reduce the ouch factor.
I would pay to have them waxed the 1st time, then keep up with the tweezing. A cosmetologist will professionally shape to compliment your features and structure.
Here's a picture of line guides to follow. Do not pluck any further inside of the two exterior lines and only pluck the strays under the brow areas (the arch middle line).
Do yourself a favor and go get a professional wax job just once, and then maintain by plucking. You will be doing yourself a favor in the long run, and the investment is invaluable to your self assurance!

Autocephaly recognized universally de facto, by some Autocephalous Churches de jure.
Partially recognized autocephaly by Constantinople, the Church of Greece, and Alexandria.
Theodore the Studite (also known as Theodorus Studita, Saint Theodore of Stoudios, and Saint Theodore of Studium; 759–826) was a
Theodore was born in
It has often been assumed that Theodore's family belonged to the
According to the later hagiographical literature, Theodore received an education befitting his family's station and from the age of seven was instructed by a private tutor, eventually concentrating in particular on theology. It is however not clear that these opportunities were available to even the most well-placed Byzantine families of the eighth century, and it is possible that Theodore was at least partially an autodidact.[9]
Following the death of Emperor
During the period of the regency of
Also in 794, Emperor
A somewhat obscure chain of events followed (the so-called "Moechian controversy," from the Greek moichos, "adulterer"), in which Theodore initiated a protest against the marriage from the Sakkudion Monastery, and appears to have demanded the excommunication, not only of the priest Joseph, but also of all who had received communion from him, which, as Joseph was a priest of the imperial church, included implicitly the emperor and his court.[14] This demand had no official weight, however, and Constantine appears to have attempted to make peace with Theodore and Platon (who, on account of his marriage, were now his relatives), inviting them to visit him during a sojourn at the imperial baths of Prusa in Bithynia. In the event neither appeared.[15]
As a result, imperial troops were sent to the Sakkudion Monastery, and the community was dispersed. Theodore was flogged, and, together with ten other monks, banished to Thessaloniki, while Platon was imprisoned in Constantinople.[16] The monks arrived in Thessaloniki in March 797, but did not remain for long; in August of the same year Constantine VI was blinded and overthrown, and his mother Irene, the new empress, lifted the exile.[17]
Following the accession of Irene, the priest Joseph was stripped of his office, and Theodoros was received in the imperial palace.[18] The monks then returned to the Sakkudion Monastery, but were forced back to the capital in either 797 or 798 on account of an Arab raid on Bithynia. At this time, Irene offered Theodore the leadership of the ancient
To this period may also date the so-called iconophile epigrams,

Emperor Nikephoros soon requested that his new patriarch rehabilitate the priest Joseph, who had officiated at the wedding of Constantine and Theodote, possibly because Joseph had aided in the peaceful resolution of the revolt of
Therefore, relations between the Studite Abbot and the Patriarch appear to have been initially untroubled, an impression which is reinforced by the choice (806/807) of Theodore's brother, Joseph, as Archbishop of Thesaloniki.[29] However, soon after this ordination, perhaps in 808, Theodore began to express his unwillingness to associate with the rehabilitated priest Joseph, or for that matter with anyone else who knowingly associated with him, as he held the rehabilitation to be uncanonical. As in the first dispute over the priest Joseph, the extension of this refusal beyond Joseph to those who associated with him included implicitly the patriarch and the emperor himself.[30]
Early in 808, Theodoros offered in a series of letters to explain his position to the emperor, and furthermore to perform the customary
Theodore maintained an extensive literary activity in exile, writing numerous letters to correspondents including his brother, various Studite monks, influential family members, and even

On 4 April 814 Theodore's uncle Platon died in the Stoudios Monastery after a long illness. Theodore composed a long funeral oration, the Laudatio Platonis, which remains one of the most important sources for the history of the family.[41]
At the very beginning of his reign, the emperor Leo V faced a new Bulgarian offensive that reached the walls of Constantinople and ravaged large sections of
Leo held fast by his plan to revive iconoclasm, and in March 815 the Patrarch Nikephoros was stripped of his office and exiled to Bithynia. At this point Theodore remained in Constantinople, and assumed a leading role in the iconodule opposition. On March 25, Palm Sunday, he commanded his monks to process through the monastery's vineyard, holding up icons so that they could be seen over the walls by the neighbors. This provocation elicited only a rebuke from the emperor.[44]
A new patriarch,
While Theodore was in exile, the leadership of the Studite congregation was assumed by the Abbot Leontios, who for a time adopted the iconoclast position and won over many individual monks to his party.[47] He was, however, eventually won back to the iconodule party.[48] The Studite situation mirrored a general trend, with a number of bishops and abbots at first willing to reach a compromise with the iconoclasts,[49] but then in the years between 816 and 819 renouncing the iconoclast position, a movement that was perhaps motivated by the martyrdom of the Studite monk Thaddaios.[50] It was during this upswell in icondule sentiment that Theodore began to compose his own polemic against the iconoclasts, the Refutatio, concentrating in particular on refuting the arguments and criticizing the literary merits of the new iconoclastic epigrams on the Chalke.[51]
Theodore exercised a wide influence during the first year of his exile, primarily through a massive letter-writing campaign. Accordingly, he was transferred in 816 to Boneta, a fortress in the more remote
Following his release, Theodore made his way back to Constantinople, travelling through north-western Anatolia and meeting with numerous monks and abbots on the way. At the time he appears to have believed that the new emperor,
Theodore's activities in his final years are somewhat difficult to trace. He continued to write numerous letters supporting the use of icons, and appears to have remained an important leader of the opposition to imperial iconoclasm.[58] He was present at a meeting of "more than a hundred" iconodule clerics in 823 or 824, which ended in an argument between the Studites and the host, one Ioannikos, which may have represented a power struggle within the movement.[59] Theodore also spoke against the second marriage of Michael II to the nun Euphrosyne, a daughter of Constantine VI, although in a very moderate fashion, and with none of the passion or effect of the Moechian controversy.[60]
Theodore's years of exile, regular fasting, and exceptional exertions had taken their toll, and in 826 he became quite ill.[61] In this year, he dictated his Testament, a form of spiritual guidance for the future abbots of the Stoudios monastery, to his disciple Naukratios.[62] He died on 11 November that year, while celebrating mass, apparently in the monastery of Hagios Tryphon on Cape Akritas in Bithynia. Eighteen years later, his remains, along with those of his brother Joseph, were brought back to the Stoudios Monastery, where they were interred beside the grave of their uncle Platon.[63]

Echo 2 September 2004
I had the pleasure of attending a meeting with Deputy Prime Minister, John Anderson, Richmond MP, Larry Anthony and Page MP, Ian Causley ensuring funding arrangements for the reinstatement of the Casino to Murwillumbah rail line were in the best interests of local communities. The roundtable meeting at the Tweed Shire Chambers with local Mayors and State Parliamentarians from the North Coast was to discuss the Commonwealth's commitment to the line and canvas the way ahead for trains on the branch line. The Australian Government had offered $15 million on the table to immediately get the train running and a further $15 million next year but would negotiate future funding with the NSW Transport Minister with realistic futures and operational plans. I want to see the rail workers keep their jobs and a train running on the line as soon as possible - we do not want to wait until the election. At the end of the day this is a State responsibility and Minister Costa closed the line. Now that the Federal Government has made this promise, I call on and challenge Minister Costa to immediately reinstate our service from Casino to Murwillumbah immediately.

Herb Festival
I attended the very successful Herb Festival recently much to the credit of Jenny de Greenlaw, Festival Co-ordinator and her wonderful team of helpers. Many people took advantage of the great weather to soak up the sunshine, savour the tastes of our local eateries, and enjoy the tremendous local produce and products which were available at the festival.
Lismore Parking Times and the Disabled
It has been bought to my attention that some concerns have been raised that the length of existing parking time limits within the CBC were not adequate for those who were less mobile. I understand that generally time limits radiated out in length from the centre of the CBD, due to the higher demand for parking close to the shops. It was noted that anyone with a mobility problem may apply to the RTA to obtain a mobility parking permit. This permit allows the holder to park their vehicle in areas where the parking is limited by more that 20 minutes for an unlimited time, and additional time for any limit less than 30 minutes as well.
Seniors Week 2005
"The Best Time for Ages!" is the theme for 2005 Seniors Week program with the aim of the program to assist the development and/or organization of local Seniors Week Projects and activities which is held between 13 and 30 March next year. Copies of application forms and accompanying funding application handbooks are available from my office. Following Seniors Week 2004, DADHC undertook a review of the Seniors Week Grants Program in consultation with key stakeholders including Local Government, Peak Aging Bodies and the Premier's Department. This review recommended that the following changes be implemented. In 2005, there will be two funding categories available in the Seniors Week Grants program:
Up to $500 - applicants may apply for any amount up to $500; this does not need to be matched.
$1,000 - this is a set amount and must be matched in cash or in-kind. Applications will close at 5pm on 24 September 2004, with all applicants informed of a decision in early December 2004.
JP Reappointments
I have received notification from the Attorney General that the rate of incomplete reappointment applications is significantly high. Please carefully read the instructions to ensure your reappointment application is lodged in full. The turn around time for an application to be finalised is currently 4 to 5 months. An existing JP will only be prohibited from performing JP services during the period between reappointment and the swearing of the oaths of office. Reappointment only occurs when all background and criminal checks have been finalised and the person's appointment is made by the Governor.

Design Destination: Beaune
All Maison du Colombier images by Flore Deronzier; all La Maison Blanche images by Pascal Reydet
Central to the famed Cote d'Or vineyards in Burgundy - or Bourgogne as it's called - Beaune is city living in the country at its most urbain. It's a charming walking town with cobblestone streets, large squares and old buildings whose architecture still reflects the splendor of the reign of the Dukes of Burgundy during the Middle Ages. Today, these historic buildings still emanate the spirit of fine living but with a decidely modern look, and flair. Delicious, authentic food and wine are everywhere, stylish digs beckon and the centuries-old single vineyards of the Cote d'Or, recently recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, are but a short drive away. Yes, I could definitely live here but for now, Beaune is the perfect place to stay while exploring the home to the original Chardonnay and Pinot Noir wines.
Maison du Colombier is an impressive 16th century castle conveniently set in the heart of the historic center. Chef-Proprietor Roland Chanliaud and Francoise Vial passionately renovated this landmark into a popular gastro bar with five urban pied-a-terres that just exude with ambiance and energy.
All five apartments are accessible via a spiral stone stairway in the hexagonal turret of the castle, leading to distinctly unique spaces designed by Chanliaud himself, artfully combining the historic stonework and exposed beams with a modern look and monochromatic palette.
All the pieds-a-terre have fully equipped kitchenettes, wifi and modern bathrooms.
Chanliaud's dishes at the restaurant are just as creative as the look. After 20 years with a local Michelin star restaurant, Chanliaud turns his passions to a more casual but just as delicious format. Capitalizing on his years of relationships with local vintners, the wine list here is impressive in range and they also serve wines by the glass. Maison du Colombier, 1, rue Charles Cloutier, Beaune
For a more elegant and serene place to stay, we love La Maison Blanche, also conveniently situated in the historic center. It's an urban b+b with three spacious, light-filled rooms. On the main level is an open living and dining area with a fully-equipped kitchen. Downstairs, an historic wine cave with arched columns inspire wine-tasting from the maison's collection or from local vintners. La Maison Blanche feels like a residence and would be ideal for families or friends to rent out the entire house.
Owner Nadine Belissant-Reydet decorated the spaces with a clean, airy touch. The rooms are open with high ceilings, and the baths are also modern and spacious.
A world traveler herself, Belissant-Reydet can recommend the best places to dine or visit in Bourgogne, as well as arrange any type of activity or service depending on the guests' needs.
We love the "dormitory" on the top floor. Inspired by the famous Hospices de Beaune hospital beds, this room would be ideal for family groups or girlfriends' trips, but it can also be rented out to a couple. La Maison Blanche, 4, rue des Tonneliers, Beaune
Jambon Persille, Beef Bourguinonne, Coq au Vin, escargots. These are just some of the classic Burgundian dishes to order while in Beaune at the many classic bistros, or savor elevated cuisine at the Michelin starred restaurants. My choices are the modern casual such as the intimate Caves Madeleine, Ma Cuisine or the tiny La Lune.
We love the diversity of foodie experiences in Beaune, starting with the local indoor/outdoor markets on Saturday mornings where you'll discover distinctly Bourgogne products such as Bresse chicken, Epoisses and Abbaye de Citeaux cheeses, as well as the most seasonal produce – in March, white asparagus, morels and truffles. On the outskirts of the main fresh goods market, browse the brocantes and merchandise stalls. Les Halles, Place de la Halle, Place Fleury
Bourgogne is known for mustard and La Moutarderie Fallot is based right in Beaune. They offer unique visitor experiences that end with a tasting of a range of flavorful and spicier mustards that you won't find in the US. Other area specialties include gingerbread which you can find at the charming shop Mulot & PetitJean, and blackcurrant-cassis products found at Vedrennes. For cheese lovers who want explore a richness of local cheeses, visit fromagerie Alain Hess.
Wine lovers won't have to leave Beaune to explore the 150-mile span of the Bourgogne wine region with the many wine tasting options in eateries, wine retailers and wine bars.
Beaune is also home to some of the traditional wine merchants, who offer tastings from their own portfolio. For example, Domaine Joseph Drouhin offers tours three times a day of their historic cellars including a tasting six village-level and premier cru white and red wines. Depending on the day, you may be treated to older vintage wines, such as the 1996 Beaune 1er Cru Clos de Mouches recently part of the line-up. They also offer special seasonal pairings and trips. Maison Joseph Drouhin, Place General Leclerc, Beaune

Electrical generators are installed in Seattle homes in order to produce an entire house with electricity if their main power shuts off. Shortages typically happen during a heavy thunderstorm or during any time of inclement weather. This can also happen if a power line near your Washington house falls down or loses connection. There is no sense when you do lose power in your home to lose HVAC, have no lights to navigate throughout the house, and to let things spoil in your refrigerator when you can have a generator system installed at an affordable price.
How is this type of system is setup? The generator will be placed near your main breaker box inside your Seattle home. It will be wired in to where once your breakers lose power, the generator will automatically kick on and restore your home to the point where it will run just as if you had your regular electricity. These generators typically run off of gas and are very efficient while running. It's not like you will have to constantly refill your generator while your power is out, and it will have more than enough fuel to last through a night of being without power.
When your home loses power, you essentially lose all of your daily conveniences that you have grown used to. This includes lighting, the use of hot water, the use of many cooking appliances, and includes anything that is hooked up to electricity. Having a backup generator in place for emergency use will allow you and your family to take a shower, use the showers and sinks, cook full meals, and be able to run your HVAC units to keep the temperature inside your home exactly where you want it. Not keeping your home temperature at a moderate level can make your home musty in the summer, or extremely cold in the winter.
The main driving force behind electrical backup generators is convenience. If you have ever experienced a power outage, you know how inconvenient they really are. Feel free to contact your electrician to talk about pricing and options for installing a generator system in your home. If you are a builder, a good way to make a home more attractive is to build it with a generator system already in place. This will make a potential homeowner aware of your attention to detail during the building process of a home. Overall, losing power is no fun, and it does not have to happen to you.
When are ready to have an experienced professional install your backup generator, then consider Luke Electric.
