OTTAWA — Each morning I wake up and before I've shaken off enough sleep to say my own name, I do two things: turn on the coffee machine and start reading the news. In recent years, the news drip has turned from bad to very bad to face frozen in a pose reminiscent of Edvard Munch's "The Scream." Then, a few days ago, I awoke to the U.N. report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. And the commentary. The steady supply of Twitter and Facebook and television and radio chatter: a decade or 12 years to drastically slash emissions, the coming collapse that's coming sooner than we expected, extreme weather events and declining crop yields, and 2040 as the first year of our last years. Tough to read before breakfast. Maybe it's better on an empty stomach.
On days like that, I find it hard to work. I start a bit later or end a bit early and I take a longer lunch. I try to read fiction — drifting, and I can't help myself, toward the apocalyptic or post-apocalyptic or pre-post-apocalyptic fare — or take a walk. Maybe I'll watch the worst Netflix programming I can find. Maybe I'll play video games an extra hour on top of the too-many-extra hours I already play. Then I regroup and redouble my work, resolving that the insanity is not working in the face of existential threat but would be not working harder and talking about the ways that we might save ourselves or at least as many of ourselves as we can.
In Canada, the Liberal government has been thinking about ways to contribute to meeting climate goals. They've been working on a carbon pricing scheme that would introduce a national minimum price of CAD $20 per ton on emissions in 2019, rising to $50 per ton in 2022. A large, cold country whose natural-resource sectors make up about 17 percent of GDPand what seems like 90 percent of our politics, Canada has faced a long and difficult struggle to introduce a market mechanism to address emissions.
Over the past several months, the framework has begun to collapse. It was always rickety, but now it's structurally unsound. In early October, Manitoba Premier Brian Pallister announced that he was out —hurt feelings. Of Trudeau's treatment of his government, the premier said "I don't think anybody likes to be used as a prop, and I certainly am not inclined that way." Manitoba joins Saskatchewan and Ontario in the climate-consensus exodus. Perhaps New Brunswick will follow soon. Alberta is partially in but could be on its way out by next spring. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his environment minister, Catherine McKenna, remain committed to making polluters pay. Trudeau has reiterated that if the provinces don't introduce a carbon price themselves, the federal government will do it for them and return revenue directly to Canadians. He's even prepared to fight the 2019 election over it.
Canadian provinces making life difficult for the federal government is nothing new. It's part of what has held the country together for more than 150 years. At times, it has been good for the country. But now, provincial chauvinism and intransigence are toying with the future of humankind.
Canada might account for less than 2 percent of global emissions, but as I've written before, we are per capita filthier than most. It wouldn't kill us to show a little moral leadership — indeed, it might help save us. I say help because as the IPCC report reminds us, it will take a concerted and radical global effort to address climate change — an effort that we need to start … years ago, ideally. As Climate Action Tracker writes, even if Canada implements its emissions plan in full, it's likely to miss its Paris agreement targets — or, as they put it, Canadian efforts would rate "insufficient."
If Canada is serious about mitigating the most serious threats of climate change and all that they might imply down the line — crashing markets, declining democracy, war — then a national commitment to carbon pricing by each province is the absolute least required. I could go on to discuss the many other things we could and should implement — immediate changes in consumer behavior, massive investments in renewables and revisiting the decision to buy and twin a pipeline — but that's an argument for another day. Today, Canadians should take a minute to write to their elected officials provincially and federally and demand that we get the carbon tax done. Every elected official should take a moment to decide how they would like to be remembered. That is, assuming there will be anyone around to remember.

Why I Recommend Custom Umbrellas as a Giveaway
Part of my job as Motivators' sales manager to assist my clients in choosing a promotional item I think would be effective. "What's something people won't throw away?" is a common question I get. One of my top five answers is always an umbrella! I recommend custom umbrellas as a giveaway or gift, and here's why:
Umbrellas are a necessity. Unless you enjoy running at high speeds or getting completely soaked, you need an umbrella when it rains! I keep one in my car, in my house, and at my work desk all the time. And while a good umbrella is essential, it's also something I don't necessarily think to buy for myself. So when I receive one as a promotional gift, I get very excited! I never throw an umbrella away, and neither will your customers!
Umbrellas can be used cleverly. Sure, umbrellas protect us against the elements. But I admire when custom umbrellas are used in unique and clever ways, like at a baby or wedding shower. "Showering with love" — what a fun play on words!
Umbrellas have a great imprint area. When you give someone an umbrella with your logo on it, you guarantee repeated brand exposure. The panel of an umbrella has a wonderfully large decoration space that everyone will see while it's in-use. Imprinting on an umbrella is a great way to boost brand exposure. You can even print a fun slogan! A popular one I see on golf umbrellas is, "Rain or shine, I golf all the time!"
Umbrellas increase awareness. Umbrellas happen to come in a wide range of colors and patterns. That's why they can be used to help spread awareness for a variety of causes. If you're searching for a one-of-a-kind Breast Cancer Awareness Month giveaway, for example, consider ordering pink umbrellas imprinted with the breast cancer awareness ribbon. Your recipients will help spread the word about your cause every time it rains.
So if you are looking for a promotional product that is a little different and has staying power, order custom umbrellas!

My friend Denise came over the other day and brought her new stamp from The Ton called Full View Daisy Background. She had also just purchased some Ken Oliver Color Burst Watercolor Powder and we decided to play with this coloring medium on this stamp. I love the bright orange that was achieved by tapping color burst on watercolor paper and then adding water.
This is a big 6″ x 6″ stamp and I used a 4 1/2″ x 6″ piece of Strathmore 140# Cold Press Watercolor Paper. I stamped it with VersaMark Ink and heat set it with Ranger Fine Detail Gold Embossing Powder. It was large enough that I was able to get two cards from one image. For this card I die cut a portion of the daisy using a My Favorite Things A2 Stitched Rectangle and then matted it with some green cardstock I had in my scraps. I added Darice Sticky Back Foam to the focal image and adhered it to a top folding A2 cardbase made from Gina K. Designs Base Weight Ivory Cardstock.
For the sentiment I die cut the word "happy" using Mama Elephant's Happy Script Die from Paper Accents Gold Mirror Cardstock and again from a scrap of sticky back foam. I stamped the secondary sentiment onto a scrap of the green cardstock with VersaMark Ink and heat set it with the same gold embossing powder. 3M 1/2″ Foam Tape was added to the back. Both were adhered to the bottom of the focal image using Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive and the card was done.
Products Used:
- The Ton Daisy Full View Background Stamp

Palm Beach Kitchen Renovation
Contemporary, streamlined and boasting an extensive list of features and inclusions, this remarkable kitchen is perfect for anyone who loves to entertain. Set in the glorious location of Palm Beach on Sydney's northern beaches, this home needed a bold, stylish and functional kitchen to match its beautiful surrounds.
Designed by Geoff Little and built by Nouvelle, this stunning modern kitchen features a seamless combination of unique design aspects, high-quality materials, innovative storage solutions and top-of-the-line appliances. The solid timber kitchen servery is made from hand-finished recycled teak, teamed with L-shaped polished concrete supports to add a distinctive and welcoming appeal to the space.
The size of the servery makes entertaining super easy and also offers a comfortable spot for casual dining. The owners' extensive wine collection sits on eye-catching Starphire glass shelves, with LED strip lighting used to create a further point of interest. There's even an insulated, integrated stainless-steel channel which covers the width of the kitchen and is ideal for holding cold drinks.
The list of appliances reads like an entertainer's dream. From the Gaggenau 900mm oven to the Fisher & Paykel DishDrawer dishwasher and in-bench fryer, the kitchen has everything the owners need to throw a memorable dinner party.
Stainless steel and polished concrete feature heavily throughout, and both contrast beautifully with the rich, warm tones of the teak benchtop. Storage solutions also abound in this kitchen, while there's a welcoming modern charm that draws the family together.
The end result is so impressive that this kitchen won the HIA NSW Most Innovative Use of Materials in a Kitchen or Bathroom for 2008. But more importantly, the owners are thrilled with their stylish, charming and practical space.

1.0 Introduction
2.0 Desktop/Panel User Object Model
3.0 Discussion
Currently no personas have been defined supporting ongoing GNOME development. It is safe to assume that the current tensions over design and features in GNOME is due to the fact that different people have different assumptions on who the target end user is. This initial document will attempt to be agnostic of the target user. HOWEVER, further development of this document will have to assume a one or more classes of end users.
This proposal assumes that the GNOME desktop interfaces can be model as a set of user level objects. These objects will have relationships to other sets of objects. These objects will have properties or attributes, and support actions or tasks which enable the user to change the object's properties or attributes.
If one examines the base set of objects (like windows, applications, files, workspaces, etc.) that are currently presented to the user in GNOME and other desktops it seems the basic model presented to users is that on objects containing other objects, i.e.:
Workspaces contain windows which contain applications which contain files...
This type of model does not preclude task or browser type models, they are just a different way of presenting the same data.
I started looking at the whole desktop last year, but because of the type of work that was going on for G2.0 it didn't seem much point in pushing the ideas. Since Mark is now looking at the panel again, I thought I'd try again.
The following diagram attempts to show the current set of objects and relationships which the user has to know about in order to effectively interact with the basic GNOME desktop.
If you don't understand the picture, that's OK, but the model presented is what GNOME 2.2 users have to understand in order to configure the basic GNOME desktop.
This isn't intended for the 2.4 time frame, just as a discussion point. If something like the following was agreed as a reasonable future direction then we could move to it in stages (and IIRC Mark is planning on fixing some of the current problems with the panel in the 2.4 time frame).
This picture gets more interesting if one starts thinking of sticky objects, i.e. those which can existing in one or more workspaces.
This picture also implies that if you drag a folder into the panel it becomes a menu and vice versa (we may not want to do this). Calum also proposed an alternative.
Anyway this is the easy bit. Things get interesting when you start thinking about what the thing/icon actually represents, and the relationships of different things/icons.
Assuming we agree to something along the lines of the above. The next, more interesting, phase would be to extend the model to support a set of the most common desktop tasks. For example, document creation, information browsing, desktop configuration and communication.
This is basically one of the things Seth was getting at in his 'on crack' talk at last years Guadec. Are these objects a real instantiation of that object, or are they just links to some executable?. I think a lot of people are familiar with M$ Windows behavior of removing shortcuts to programs on their desktop and expecting the complete application to be removed from their system. On my win2k box there is even a nice dialog now that tells you this won't happen.
Hmm, so if I delete netscape shortcut nothing much happens, but if I other icons then there is data removal. How does the user know which is which?
The more i think about this I think we should just ditch the file system and stick everything in a big nice OO database :).

Not to mention your charm, grace, sophistication and impeccable manners. Yours is one of the two signs ruled by Venus, the planet of beauty, harmony and aesethetics. You're a head turner, Libra and people tend to get rubber necked around you, even passers by. You probably make people fall in love with you quite easily, without even trying. They can't help being in awe of you, Libra, and who can blame them? You have refined tastes and you're ever the diplomat, choosing your words carefully so as not to offend anyone. Some may call you a fence sitter who has difficulty making up your mind. Because you're a people pleaser with the ability to weigh both sides of any issue (hence the symbol of your sign, the scales) you often like to take your time before making an important decision. Fairness and balance are your buzzwords, Libra. Forget Fox News Channel. LOL. You know what it really means to be fair. Careers in the beauty industry are well suited for you, whether it be modeling, fashion or photography or even in cosmetics. Art is also of keen interest to you. Perhaps you're an antiques dealer or an art collector. If not, you still appreciate the finer things in life. It doesn't always have to be expensive opulence for you. Even the poorest natives of your sign tend to live life gracefully and like to surround themselves with pretty things that please your senses. The law is also an area of interest as you as more than able to do the research necessary to weigh the pros and cons of any issue.

What Role Should Dialogue Play in a Personal Narrative?
In a personal narrative, the writer tells a story about himself or herself, and it usually focuses on a specific event in the author's life. It is nonfiction, but because it is a story, it often incorporates the same elements as fictional narratives. Dialogue is an important element in a personal narrative; it helps to bring the story to life.
Moving the Story Forward
The dialogue's main role in a personal narrative is to help the story move forward by re-creating people's conversations and thoughts. Spoken words are called external dialogue, while thoughts are called internal dialogue. A personal narrative may include one or both types. Dialogue can also be used to speed up the pace of the story, while the narration parts slow it down. It can also serve as a break from long narrative paragraphs.
Revealing Characters
Dialogue also helps the writer reveal character traits. The main character in a personal narrative is the author, but the author's interaction with others is also an important part of the story. The dialogue helps to reveal each person's real personality and voice to give the story realism. At the same time, the characters are allowed to speak for themselves without the author intruding too much. The dialogue also conveys the characters' emotions and shows how people interact with one another.
Showing, Not Telling
Teachers often share an old adage as advice for aspiring writers: "Show, don't tell." Dialogue may be used to give the personal narrative authenticity and to make the story realistic by showing what is happening rather than just telling the reader about it. It uses sensory details -- that is, seeing, hearing, feeling, smelling and tasting -- to reveal emotion and information. For example, the following is a sentence that tells: "John was angry after Mike betrayed him." If the author chose dialogue instead, he or she could write, "John stomped around the room. 'Ah! How dare he? How could he betray me?'" The latter shows anger through the dialogue without using the word "angry."
Writing Effective Dialogue
It is important to know that dialogue may not be an exact quote of the original conversation. Instead, the personal narrative's dialogue is a close representation of the original. It can be effective if used correctly, but it can also hinder a personal narrative if it isn't. All dialogue follows a few simple guidelines. First, start a new paragraph for each new speaker. Second, use quotation marks around the spoken words and simple attributions like "he said." Third, dialogue should sound natural, not forced, but it should also be clear. Don't overuse dialect, or else the writing may not be understandable.

Were it not for the heartbreak of the past ten years, week after week of uncompetitive football might get boring. As it is, the Texans and their legion of fans will take the wins however they come.
The Texans cruised past Tampa Bay (4-5) on Sunday from the game's very first play, when Matt Schaub connected on a career long 80-yard touchdown pass to Jacoby Jones. The win -- the fourth straight for Houston, all in blowout fashion -- sends the Texans to 7-3 entering their bye week, in firm control of first place in the AFC South and the conference's No. 1 overall seed.
The No. 1 seed would place the Texans just two games from the Super Bowl, both of which would come in the friendly confines of Reliant Stadium.
Of course, the Texans proved Sunday that home comfort isn't necessary. Facing a Tampa Bay team that had previously beaten the Saints and Falcons at home, the Texans methodically gashed the Buccaneers from the outset before finally breaking their will in the second half.
Here are five key takeaways from the latest Texan blowout.
5) Gary Kubiak is having a great season All week long, analysts doubted whether Tampa Bay had the defensive line to stop the Texan run game, especially with Gerald McCoy suffering a season-ending injury and Albert Haynesworth being forced into major minutes. As such, the Texans figured they could catch Tampa's back seven overcompensating through playaction. On the first play of the game, Schaub faked a handoff to Arian Foster and found Jones all alone. Even though the pass was underthrown, Jones was so wide open that he was still able to make the catch and elude defenders for the score.
Later in the quarter -- with the Texans holding a 6-0 lead -- Schaub appeared to throw a disastrous interception when blitzed on third-and-goal. Aqib Talib dropped the ball moments later after a strip from Derrick Mason, but it was ruled a fumble on the field and media analysts didn't even question it. Fortunately, Kubiak and his staff did -- astutely observing that Talib had bobbled the ball even before Mason knocked it to the ground. The call was overturned, making it the second consecutive week for Kubiak to win a challenge. Neil Rackers made the ensuing field goal to put Houston up 9-0, and the game was never within a possession again.
4) The defense is no fluke Sure, Wade Phillips's unit had the luxury of back-to-back games against doormats Jacksonville and Cleveland. Yes, the Buccaneers snapped Houston's franchise record three-game streak of holding opponents under 175 total yards. But this might've been their most impressive performance yet. Against a competent Tampa Bay offense that entered Sunday ranked No. 15 in the NFL, the Texans limited them to 231 yards and nine points. Even better, they sacked Josh Freeman four times, intercepted him three times, held him to 42 percent passing and forced a fumble. It started with pressure from the edges, where outside linebackers Connor Barwin and Brooks Reed wreaked havoc with 1.5 and 1.0 sacks, respectively. Through ten games, the Texans have the No. 1 ranked defensive unit in the NFL.
"There's a sense of confidence," said rookie end J.J. Watt, who had two tackles and a half-sack. "There's a hunger that we're never satisfied." 3) Arian Foster is as good as it gets Forget talk about his yards per carry average dipping slightly. That tends to happen on teams with numerous blowout wins, which result in obvious rushing plays for much of the second halves of games. Forget any mention of hamstring woes or being a one-season wonder. He's arguably the best running back in the NFL, a fact hammered home by his 78-yard touchdown reception in the second quarter in which he weaved through almost the entire Buccaneer defense. Foster's open-field cuts are superb, and his hands make him a complete back -- an increasing rarity in the modern NFL. Sunday marked the third game (out of seven) for Foster with 100 yards receiving.
"I think what sets me apart from a lot of running backs is I make guys miss in the open field," said Foster. "I always tell them I was a receiver in my past life. I always lobby to get some go-routes from [Kubiak]."
2) Kicking remains a concern It hasn't bit the Texans yet, but Neil Rackers remains far from his usual form. He missed a 37-yard kick against Tampa Bay and also had an extra point blocked. He's 19-for-22 on the season, but the three misses have all come in the past month. Moreover, several of the makes have cut it extremely close. With a bye week approaching, the Texans' staff needs to closely monitor his practice performance. Come January, the Texans will be challenged by the AFC's elite and can't afford to leave points on the field.
1) As good as the Texans look, they're about to get even stronger It's easy to forget that this four-game streak has come without Andre Johnson, arguably the best player on the roster and one of the top two or three receivers in the entire league. By all appearances, Johnson -- who has been sidelined since Oct. 2 with a hamstring injury -- is a virtual certainty to return to the starting lineup when the Texans come out of their bye week on Nov. 27 at Jacksonville.

Though Schaub had a near-perfect QB rating on Sunday, the Texans were still a run-first team. The offensive line mauled Tampa Bay into submission, with the Texans holding a nearly 3:1 run-pass ratio (44 runs, 15 passes). Of their 420 yards, 185 came on the ground, and many of Schaub's 242 passing yards were off playaction. When Johnson returns, the Texans should at times be able to use the pass to set up the run -- making things even easier for Foster and Ben Tate.
Discussions in recent weeks have centered on the lack of dominant teams in the AFC, making it possible for a team like the Texans to make a legitimate run at a Super Bowl.
Little did they know, the Texans may actually be the conference's dominant team. Just ask the Buccaneers.

WHEN: ))Saturday March 21st and Sunday March 22nd, the Weekend of World Water Day. In 1992, the UN General Assembly designated March)22 as "World Water Day" to draw international attention to the critical lack of clean, safe drinking water worldwide.
SUPPORTING: )United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR). Founded in 1951, UNHCR )))is one of the largest aid organizations in the world. UNHCR supports more than 30 million ))refugees in 110 countries by fulfilling the most basic needs for survival.
WHO: ))Earth Water International and lululemon athletica. Founded in 2004, Earth Water is a bottled water company that donates 100% of their profits to UNHCR to provide refugees with access to clean drinking water.
WHERE:))Earth Water bottled water will be displayed and sold in select lululemon athletica stores across Western Canada. Each store will have Earth Water representatives available to answer questions about the product & company.
WHAT:)Throughout the weekend, lululemon athletica store educators will be spinning, running and doing yoga, alongside displays of Earth Water, and Earth Water volunteers. For a minimum donation of $2, lululemon customers will receive a bottle of water, with all profits going towards digging 100 wells.
Earth Water founder Kori Chilibeck states – "This is a very important day for [water-related issues]. We believe our product provides individuals with the opportunity to make a positive social impact through conscious consumerism. Earth Water is proud to be supported by lululemon athletica for such a great ethical project and is overwhelmed by the support and enthusiasm displayed by the lululemon team and their guests."

Would you like to retire in about five years?
Prepping now will lead to smoother financial sailing during your long-anticipated retirement years.
Here are four ways to prepare your finances for your fast-approaching retirement years.
Credit cards
Don't lose money that could be used for your retirement on high-interest credit card debt, advises Kathleen Campbell, a certified financial planner at Campbell Financial Partners in Fort Myers, Fla.
"Work steadily to pay down any credit card debt, even if that means curtailing retirement savings in your 401(k), other than the company-matched portion," Campbell says. "Paying down debt costing 8 percent or 15 percent, for instance, just gives you that much of a return on those dollars."
Some soon-to-be retiring seniors may be carrying credit card debt because of late-in-life divorces or medical bills, according to Lisa Hatcher, a certified financial planner at Hatcher Bytes Financial Planning in Richmond, Va.
To eliminate the credit card debt, Hatcher recommends boosting income and reducing expenses.
"Take a part-time job and put earnings toward the debt," Hatcher says. "(You) may need to consider downsizing your major expenses of housing and transportation to live within your means and pay off the debt."
Car payments
Are you planning on a long retirement? There is a good chance you will need to purchase at least one replacement car during your non-working years, according to Andy Tilp, a certified financial planner at Trillium Valley Financial Planning in Sherwood, Ore.
"If you are five years out, it is important to consider the life of your current car and when it will need to be replaced," Tilp advises. "If you are a couple with two cars, and both will need to replaced, consider staggering the purchases, one in five years, then wait to get the next five years later.
"Use those five years to save the equivalent of a car payment. Then, when you are ready, you can buy the car for cash and not have your precious income going to paying interest."
Retiring without mortgage payments is a good goal for most seniors, says Hatcher.
"Most seniors should aim to pay off their mortgage before they retire or shortly after. It is a guaranteed rate of return to pay off your mortgage, versus keeping funds in a riskier asset for a higher return," Hatcher advises.
But if paying off a mortgage in advance would be too much of a financial strain, it may be better to hold off, Tilp counsels.
"If paying off the mortgage locks your money into the walls of the house and leaves insufficient funds to buy groceries, then this is obviously an untenable situation," Tilp says. "You can't eat your house."
Refinancing a mortgage may be a good strategy for seniors who plan on retiring with mortgage payments, according to Mark Petersen, vice president of Affluent Wealth Planning at Carson Wealth Management Group in Omaha, Neb.
"Refinance your mortgage to the lowest rate possible prior to leaving the workforce," Petersen advises. "My sister-in-law refinanced just prior to the recent increase in mortgage rates and just before her income was replaced by Social Security payments."
And before those paychecks stop, Campbell recommends tackling home maintenance projects such as a new roof or new air conditioning system.
"Better to pay for those while you're still working than to have to take large chunks from savings early in retirement," Campbell says.
The five years prior to retirement are also a good time boost up retirement savings, Campbell counsels.
"I suggest that pre-retirees beef up their savings so they've got ample savings to start with when they retire," Campbell says. "Retirement calculators that have results showing a retiree needs $1 million or $2 million to get through retirement can be counterproductive. For someone who has only managed to save $100,000 or $200,000, that million-dollar target is never going to happen. So everything needs to be in context and each person can only do their best."
Seniors with thinner retirement portfolios may want to consider working longer to extend their savings years prior to retirement, Campbell says.
"I do counsel some clients that working another five to seven years may be far preferable to a very long retirement, especially if savings dollars are thin."

It's getting so much easier. Used to be, you needed a bulky separate e-reader. Now, Blackberry, iPhone–and more coming. Read on.
Kindle May Not Dominate Digital Book Market for Long
NEW YORK — A few weeks ago, Pasquale Castaldo was waiting at the Dallas-Ft. Worth airport for a delayed flight, when a man sitting across from him pulled out an Amazon Kindle book-reading device.
"Gee, maybe I should think about e-books myself," Castaldo thought.
He didn't have a Kindle, but he did have a BlackBerry. He pulled it out and looked for available applications. Sure enough, Barnes & Noble Inc. had just put up an e-reading program. Castaldo, 54, downloaded it, and within a minute, began reading Jane Austen's "Pride and Prejudice."
As others are also discovering, the North Haven, Conn., banker found e-books quite accessible without a Kindle.
"The BlackBerry is always with me," Castaldo said. "Rather than just sitting there, if I can fill that time by reading a good book, I might do that, in addition to doing the other things I might do, like reading email and Twittering." (more)

Have you ever had thoughts like "If I had a lot of money, I would…" or "If I had a loving partner in my life, I would…" or "If I only got my business to make consistent 6+ figures, I would…"?
I used to have thoughts like that… and they were draining my energy and were making me feel "less than."
And when I talked to a young woman yesterday who shared with me her continuous struggles – with money, jobs, relationships, and health – I felt compelled to share with you something that may seem obvious to your unconscious mind… yet is not so easy to implement when the egoic mind is stubbornly keeping you stuck in the old patterns of familiar thoughts and emotions.
I assume you know and possibly have heard more than once that
So, if you know that, why in the world is it so challenging to break through the old patterns?!
What keeps you in the inner prison of a very subtle scarcity mentality?
Yes, limiting beliefs are often so ingrained in our conscious mind that the only way to notice them is by looking at your life experiences… because they are reflecting your inner state.
If you're trying really hard to achieve something – whether it's financial goals, career, or personal goals – yet feel exhausted and even lose your enthusiasm because nothing is moving forward in your life, it's time for you to look inward.
It can be REALLY frustrating to know the Truth – "as within, so without" – yet still feel blocked. Whether it's your family or social programming, or simply old money dynamics – it doesn't matter. The messages from your past – "you don't know how to manage money", or "you are not too smart so you need to work harder", or "you need a husband to support you", or "wealth and freedom are for lucky few" – messing up your efforts and your inner power!!
These old sabotaging beliefs keep you settling for less while you're being stuck in the "mediocre land".
Now, how can you uproot these old, stubborn, hidden energies stored in your body that block you?
There are a few modalities that can be effective, of course. However, I experienced myself and witnessed great results using Time Line Therapy™ (TLT). It's a phenomenal tool to uncover and neutralize the energy of negative emotions from past experiences, and detect limiting decisions and sabotaging beliefs that are still running (or ruining?) your life.
During my own TLT sessions, I was able to let go the "not good enough" message that haunted me for a long time, cleared out my conscious mind from fear, hurt, anger, guilt and other negative emotions that were stored in my body from past memories. One of my favorite experiences was installing my gorgeous goals into the future!
Yes, this is possible as well with the TLT!
The experience of uplifting and liberation was almost overwhelming. THAT'S WHY I, the Wealth Architect and Financial Freedom Mentor, became a certified TLT practitioner!
With Love,
Millen Livis
p.s. If you're ready to deal with your inner condition of lack and scarcity – let me know! I would be happy to talk to you privately because I want YOU to feel ALIVE and VIBRANT – freed from negative energies that may be sabotaging you in different areas of your life.
Schedule a quick chat with me and let's see if the TLT method is what you need to liberate your inner power.
Millen is a Wealth architect and Financial Independence Coach, entrepreneur, and a bestselling author. Being a Possibilities' Catalyst, she uses her intuition, business, and investment expertise to support entrepreneurial women (like you) who want to master their money, live their purpose achieve financial prosperity and freedom.

Perimeter and Area
The PERIMETER of a triangle is the sum of the lengths of its sides. In less precise terms, this is sometimes stated as "the distance around the triangle." If the three sides are labeled a, b, and c, the perimeter P can be found by the following formula:
P = a + b + c
The area of a triangle is the space bounded (enclosed) by its sides. The formula for the area can be found by using a triangle which is part of a rectangle. In figure 17-9, triangle ABC is one-half of the rectangle. Since the area of the rectangle is a times b (that is, ab), the area of the triangle is given by the following formula:
Written in terms of h, representing height, the formula is:
This formula is valid for every triangle, including those with no two sides perpendicular.
Figure 17-9.-Area of a triangle.
Practice problems. Find the perimeter and area of each of the triangles in figure 17-10.
Figure 17-10.-Perimeters and areas of triangles.
CAUTION: The concept of area is meaningless if the units of the multiplied dimensions are not the same. For example, if the base of a triangle is 2 feet long and the altitude is 6 inches long, the area might be carelessly stated as 1/2 (6) (2). However, the units must be considered in order to decide whether the answer is in square feet or square inches. When the units are considered, we realize that the correct answer is
Special Triangles
The classification of triangles depends upon their special characteristics, if any. For example, a triangle may have all three of its sides equal in length; it may have two equal sides and a third side which is longer or shorter than the other two; it may contain a right angle or an obtuse angle. If .it has none of these special characteristics, it is a SCALENE triangle. A scalene triangle has no two of its sides equal and no two of its angles equal.
RIGHT TRIANGLE.-If one of the angles of a triangle is a right angle, the figure is a right triangle. The sides which form the right angle are the LEGS of the triangle, and the third side (opposite the right angle) is the HYPOTENUSE.
The area of a right triangle is always easy to determine. If the base of the triangle is one of its legs, as in figure 17-10 (4), the other leg is the altitude. If the hypotenuse is acting as the base, as in figure 17-10 (3), the triangle can be turned until one of its legs is the base, as in figure 17-10 (1). If the triangle is not known to be a right triangle, then the altitude must be given, as in figure 17-10 (2), in order to calculate the area.
Any triangle whose sides =e in the ratio of 3:4:5 is a right triangle. Thus, triangles with sides as follows are right triangles:
(x is any positive number)
In addition to the 3-4-5 triangle, two other types of right triangles occur frequently. Any triangle having one 30° angle and one 60° angle is a right triangle; that is, its third angle is 90°. Any triangle having two 45° angles is a right triangle.
ISOSCELES TRIANGLE. -A triangle having two of its sides equal in length is an ISOSCE angle, the isosceles triangle has two equalangles. In figure 17-11 (A), triangle ABC is isosceles. Sides AC and BC are equal in length, and angles A and B are equal.
Figure 17-11.-(A) Isosceles triangle; (B) equilateral triangle.
Figure 17-11 (B) illustrates an EQUILATERAL triangle, which is a special case of an isosceles triangle. An equilateral triangle has all three of its sides equal in length. Since the lengths of the sides are directly related to the size of the angles opposite them, an equilateral triangle is also equiangular; that is, all three of its angles are equal.
OBLIQUE TRIANGLES. -Any triangle containing no right angle is an OBLIQUE triangle. Figure 17-12 illustrates two possible configurations, both of which .are oblique triangles. An oblique triangle which contains an obtuse angle is often called an OBTUSE triangle.
Figure 17-12.--Oblique triangles. (A) Acute; (B) obtuse.
Sum of the Angles
The sum of the angles in any triangle is 180°. For example, if one of the angles is 40° and another is 20°, the third angle is 120°. It is this relationship that justifies the statements made in the preceding section concerning 45° triangles and 30°-60°-90° triangles. If two of the angles are 45° each, then the third angle is 180° - (45°+45°) and the figure is a right tri- angle. If one angle is 60° and another is 30°, the third angle is 90° and the figure is a right triangle.

Mac OS X#
- The Mac OS X JarBundler 2.2.0 is used to build a native Mac OS X app but it depends on having the Apple JDK installed
- Supporting a modern Oracle JDK is done using the Oracle's AppBundler Task
Creating The Native Launchers#
The native launchers are under version control and can be re-created manually. In other words there are not automatically build because
- Considering the complex setup I'm glad that it works on the JSPWiki committer boxes
- Downloading all the stuff is time-consuming and would slow the build for everyone
- There should be some manual testing before promoting the native launchers

Imagine Mother Mary when she was just a girl….
She's 14 maybe, in the fresh embrace of puberty, and the air is charged with meaning. One night, unable to sleep for the unbearable beauty of being alive, she hears the rustle of great wings and feels a rush of wind on her face.
Frightened, she presses herself against the stone wall of her tiny sleeping alcove and begins to tremble.
"Miriam," a voice reverberates in the dark. "You have been chosen among all the women of the world to receive the Messiah in your own body and give birth to Peace on Earth."
What would you do? Would you leap out of bed and shout, "Great idea, Lord! When do we get started?"
More likely you would do everything in your power to convince the powers that be that they had the wrong girl.
We all have our angel Gabriel. That angelic presence that fills the horizons of our hearts and says "You. There is work to be done. It's up to you to do it."
We have our burning bushes, before which we take off our sandals and drop to our knees, like Moses, and receive our instructions to confront the tyrant on behalf of the people.
We are meditating in our private caves, like Muhammad, minding our own business, when suddenly an archangel gathers us in a tight embrace and insists that we take dictation on the word of Allah.
Like Jonah, we stow away on a ship hoping that if we sail far out to sea we can get away from the voice that insists we stand up against injustice, that we uncover the light we've hidden under a bushel, that we speak and sing and paint and parent our way to peace for all beings everywhere.
But we are not ready….
We are an unmarried Jewish teenager from a poor family. We are a shepherd with a stutter. We are an illiterate camel driver. We are languishing in the belly of a giant fish and it's dark in here.
We are not nearly well resourced enough to be a resource for others.
Who, when faced with the enormity of widespread humanitarian crises and pending environmental catastrophe would raise our hands high and say, "Oo, oo, pick me, God! I choose to be exhausted and reviled. I want to bear the unbearable and accomplish the impossible. It's my turn."
Well, it is your turn. And fortunately it's mine too. It's up to all of us. As the Hopi Prophecy tells us, we are the ones we've been waiting for.
And we do not have to do this alone.
Of course we are reluctant. But the prophetic call is a collective one, and we are not required to carry the pain of the world all by ourselves. We cannot.
That same prophecy also tells us that we must let go of the familiar shore we've been clinging to and push off into the middle of a rushing river.
Yet within that flow we are meant to look around and see who is in there with us and celebrate our companionship. The ones who remain on the banks of that river desperately grasping for the familiar landscape of a shifting reality will suffer.
It is only when we surrender that we can rise to the call that resounds through the universe in the depths of our own hearts.
As it turns out, this prophetic response has a deeply feminine quality….
Rather than react with our masculine impulse to fix what we perceive to be broken, to champion the downtrodden with swords outstretched and shields installed, we are invited now to gather the wounds of the world into our own tender heart and shelter them there.
To lean close and listen before charging ahead and vanquishing. To create community rather than align against the Other.
The feminine Mystics of all traditions — from the great reformer, Teresa of Avila to the ecstatic poet, Rabia — embodied this radically compassionate and inclusive and supremely grounded approach to mending the world.
They were not interested in transcending suffering, but rather in transmuting it in love. The way of the feminine mystic is the way of incarnation, of recognizing the Creator in every facet of Creation, and praising that divinity, and protecting it with all our hearts.
You do not have to be a woman to walk the way of the feminine mystic....
All over the world, men in positions of inherited power and privilege are voluntarily abdicating and deferring to the wise females that surround them.
They understand that we have all suffered for having denied and denigrated the wisdom of the feminine, and they too long for a return to the essential balance instilled in every soul.
Nor is your reluctance a sign of inadequacy. All the best prophets have been the reluctant ones!
But neither is the way of transformational healing supposed to hurt. Jewish wisdom teaches us that we are each uniquely designed to repair the broken world in our own way. Yours may not look anything like you thought it should be.
We are all prophets, made for peace. We are all mystics, worthy of a direct encounter with the sacred.
Ours is a response of love, rather than a call to battle. It is a celebration, not a sentence.
Come. You are invited to this feast of love. We cannot begin until you take your place at the table.

Walk - Frogmore & Lansallos
Walk information provided with help from Natural England. Map reproduced by permission of Ordnance Survey on behalf of HMSO. © Crown copyright and database right 2020. Ordnance Survey Licence number 100022021.
Route Description
If you are starting from Lansallos, begin the walk at number 4, by the church, continuing from number 1 when you reach Frogmore.
- From Frogmore car park follow the Lantivet Bay footpath to the junction, crossing the road to pick up the footpath along the lane almost opposite. Walk downhill towards the South West Coast Path.
- Fork right to descend to the Coast Path (or take the small path to the left for a less steep ascent and descent across this valley). On the Coast Path turn left to walk around above Palace Cove and Sandheap Point. There is an optional detour on the right here, to visit the tip of the point. Carry on along the Coast Path, descending the steps to the stream at West Coombe.
The 'Palace' in the cove name is nothing to do with enormous mansions: it comes from a Cornish word meaning 'place', and in the nineteenth century it was used for a shed above a beach or quay where women and children processed the catch brought in by the fishing fleet. Packing the fish in barrels between layers of salt, they would then squeeze the oil out of the fish to dry it out and preserve it.
The National Trust uses Dexter cattle and Dartmoor ponies to graze the path between Pencarrow Head and Lantivet as part of its management programme to restore the coastal grassland. This part of the Coast Path is rich in plant life as a result: in spring and summer there are banks of tumbling thorn blossom and fiery, coconut-scented gorse, and the grass is studded with primroses, dog violets, celandines and bluebells in spring, and stitchwort, dandelions and campions in summer. Look out for swathes of lichen in the thorn bushes: a sign of pure air.
- Cross the footbridge at West Coombe to carry on along the Coast Path for a short distance inland. Take the footpath on the left above Lansallos Cove, climbing gently through the fields, carrying on along the lane as it approaches Lansallos Church. For a shorter walk, take the footpath over the footbridge on the left when the main path follows the stream around to the right, and follow it up through the valley to rejoin the longer route at 5.
This was the old path from the village of Lansallos to the water mill in West Coombe. The babbling brook which used to power the water mill on the coast runs alongside the path for much of the way (turn left as the path crosses it for another shortcut to the main route at 5). In spring the stream's mossy banks are dotted with celandines and golden saxifrage. The path was also used by fishermen descending to the cove, and farmers taking donkey carts down to the beach to collect sand and seaweed to fertilise their fields.
- Carry on past the church to take the footpath over the stile on the left, by the gate, and follow it straight ahead, downhill through three fields, to the stream at the bottom.
Built in 1321, Lansallos Church has a wagon roof and a Norman font and was dedicated to St Idierna. It was rebuilt in the fifteenth century. There are human and animal heads carved into the bench ends, and some very old five-holed stocks. Only one cracked bell remains of the original three medieval bells, after drunken revellers destroyed the others in the nineteenth century. It is thought that in the tenth century Lansallos was a landowning church, and a recently-discovered charter from the reign of Athelstan suggests that it had a monastery attached. In the 1086 Domesday Book, however, 'Lansalwys' (from the Cornish meaning 'the holy site of Salwys') was recorded as a secular manor.
- Crossing the stream, continue ahead (or left, if you have joined from the shorter route), and climb steeply to the left-hand hedge. From here contour around the hill through two more fields, to the road.
Early in the nineteenth century, a copper mine operated in the valley for around 20 years. Known as Wheal Howell, or sometimes Wheal Providence, and the machinery put up for sale when it closed in 1832 included a 60-inch cylinder, which indicated that it must have been a mine of some size. The three shafts that are known about have all been filled in, but for your safety you are advised to stay on the path.
Live many another secluded cove on the South West Coast Path the area had a lively 'free trade'. One smuggling incident in 1825 resulted in a large quantity of liquor being washed up on the shoreline. One of the kegs of brandy was further smuggled, into one of the mineshafts at Wheal Howell, with disastrous consequences for the mine's output that day!
- Descending the steps in the hedge with care, turn left on the road and walk to the junction to return to the car park at Frogmore.
The flight of stone steps leading to the road are known locally as 'Kiss Me Arse Steps'. Although the origin of the name is unknown, if two people are climbing the steps at the same time it is not difficult to imagine how it came about!

While many of our pressure washers are easy to move around, larger models can be more cumbersome. APW Distributing carries several styles of frames to give you more maneuverability while on the job.
Stationary Frames
To keep your pressure washer up off the ground, stationary frames give your pressure washer a stable base while you work. These frames also make it easier to move your pressure washer from job to job, or can be secured in place.
Wheeled Frames
For jobs that cover larger areas, a wheeled frame makes moving your pressure washer much easier. Many of these frames are also equipped with a gun rack and hose reel to make storage easier, too.
Other Frames
Hand held frames, wall mounted frames, roll cage frames, and skids are available for all pressure washer applications. For example, if your pressure washer will be used in one specific area, it can be mounted to the wall to keep it off the ground and stationary.
APW Distributing also carries replacement parts for frames as well as attachments and accessories for your pressure washer. In addition to frames, we carry a wide variety of accessories for your pressure washer, and equip you with the tools you need to get the job done quickly and safely.
Having problems with your power washer? In in-house service department is here to help, including troubleshooting problems that allow you to fix the problem on your own if possible.

Unfortunately, too many adults on the autism spectrum are perennial pessimists with a negative attitude (e.g., "nobody understands me" … "good things don't last" … "my future looks rather depressing"). These individuals often feel unappreciated, underpaid, cheated, mistreated and misunderstood. They may chronically complain and criticize, and they may blame their failures and defeats on others, posing as victims of a heartless "neurotypical" world.
If this sounds like you – and you would like to break-out of this destructive way of thinking and viewing the world – then consider the tips below:
1. Be open to humor. Give yourself permission to smile or laugh, especially during difficult times. Seek humor in everyday happenings. When you can laugh at life, you feel less stressed.
2. Check yourself. Periodically during the day, stop and evaluate what you're thinking. If you find that your thoughts are mainly negative, try to find a way to put a positive spin on them.
3. Follow a healthy lifestyle. Exercise at least three times a week to positively affect mood and reduce stress. Follow a healthy diet to fuel your mind and body. And learn to manage stress.
4. Identify areas to change. If you want to become more optimistic and engage in more positive thinking, first identify areas of your life that you typically think negatively about, whether it's work, your daily commute or a relationship, for example. You can start small by focusing on one area to approach in a more positive way.
5. Don't say anything to yourself that you wouldn't say to anyone else. Be gentle and encouraging with yourself. If a negative thought enters your mind, evaluate it rationally and respond with affirmations of what is good about you.
6. Surround yourself with positive people. Make sure those in your life are positive, supportive people you can depend on to give helpful advice and feedback. Negative people may increase your stress level and make you doubt your ability to manage stress in healthy ways.
7. Positive thinking doesn't mean that you keep your head in the sand and ignore life's less pleasant situations – it simply means that you approach the unpleasantness in a more positive and productive way. You think the best is going to happen, not the worst.
8. Positive thinking often starts with self-talk. Self-talk is the endless stream of unspoken thoughts that run through your head every day. These automatic thoughts can be positive or negative. Some of your self-talk comes from logic and reason. Other self-talk may arise from misconceptions that you create because of lack of information. If the thoughts that run through your head are mostly negative, your outlook on life is more likely pessimistic. Here are some examples of negative self-talk and how you can apply a positive spin to them:
- TURN: I've never done it before … INTO: It's an opportunity to learn something new.
- TURN: I don't have the resources … INTO: Necessity is the mother of invention.
- TURN: I'm not going to get any better at this … INTO: I'll give it another try.
- TURN: I'm too uninspired to get this done … INTO: I wasn't able to fit it into my schedule but can re-examine some priorities.
- TURN: It's too complicated … INTO: I'll tackle it from a different angle.
- TURN: It's too radical a change … INTO: Let's take a chance.
- TURN: I've never done it before … INTO: It's an opportunity to learn something new.
- TURN: No one bothers to communicate with me … INTO: I'll see if I can open the channels of communication.
- TURN: There's no way it will work … INTO: I can try to make it work.
9. Identify negative thinking. Not sure if your self-talk is positive or negative? Here are some common forms of negative self-talk:
- Catastrophizing: You automatically anticipate the worst. The drive-through coffee shop gets your order wrong and you automatically think that the rest of your day will be a disaster.
- Filtering: You magnify the negative aspects of a situation and filter-out all of the positive ones. For example, say you had a great day at work. You completed your tasks ahead of time and were complimented for doing a speedy and thorough job. But you forgot one minor step. That evening, you focus only on your oversight and forget about the compliments you received.
- Personalizing: When something bad occurs, you automatically blame yourself. For example, you hear that an evening out with friends is canceled, and you assume that the change in plans is because no one wanted to be around you.
- Polarizing: You see things only as either good or bad, black or white. There is no middle ground. You feel that you have to be perfect or that you're a total failure.
10. Know that there will be great health benefits from changing your attitude. Researchers continue to explore the effects of positive thinking and optimism on health. Health benefits that positive thinking may provide include:
- Better coping skills during hardships and times of stress
- Better psychological and physical well-being
- Greater resistance to the common cold
- Increased life span
- Lower levels of distress
- Lower rates of depression
- Reduced risk of death from cardiovascular disease
If you tend to have a negative outlook, don't expect to become an optimist overnight. But with practice, eventually your self-talk will contain less self-criticism and more self-acceptance. You may also become less critical of the world around you.
