Running in the dark is dangerous for many reasons. Drivers aren't looking for runners. Also, in the dark, it's harder to see other dangers in the road such as potholes, branches, and slippery leaves. If you're like me though, you have no choice but to run in the dark mornings/evenings. As your head out for your runs this fall, keep these tips in mind.
Run Safe in the Dark:
Be Visible
Wear bright colors and reflective gear. I have my eye on the entire Brooks Nightlife line, but for now, my Target Gear works just fine. I have 2 blinking lights that I clip to my tights for extra visibility.
Obey all traffic laws & run against traffic
We're all guilty of assuming the car will stop as we cross an intersection as we dart across. Crosswalks, especially the ones regulated by stop signs, are very dangerous for runners. Try to make eye contact with the driver so that you know they see you before crossing
Carry Identification
When I lived close to my parents, I used to write their phone number on the back of my hand before I went on a long run by myself. I'm still trying to get into the habit of carrying my license with me when I run by myself. You could write your name and phone number on the tongue of your running show too.
Pay Attention
If you're like me, it's easy to zone out while running. Stay alert and pay attention to your surroundings. Also, leave the iPod at home when running in the dark. You need to be able to hear traffic and other people who might be out on the road.
Power in Numbers
Schedule your run with a friend. Not only is it safer to run in a group, the conversation will make the run go by faster. If you don't have a running buddy, ask a friend to bike next to you while you run. If you do have to run solo, make sure to let someone know what time and where you are running.

What is Clutter?
Clutter is anything we don't need, want or use, that takes our time, energy or space, and destroys our serenity. It can be outgrown clothes, obsolete papers, broken toys, disliked gifts, meaningless activity, ancient resentments, or unsatisfying relationships. We may be selective in some areas, but not in others. Objects may be strewn about or wedged into drawers; neatly stacked or stowed in storage.
Our clutter seems to have a life of its own, to multiply without effort on our part. We may feel overwhelmed, controlled by our possessions, and/or doomed to be hopelessly disorganized. No matter how we deal with our clutter, it can be a source of pain and shame to us and to those we live with.
Despite this pain, we fear throwing things out. We think we might need it, fix it, or wear it again. We don't want to be wasteful or ungrateful. We don't know what to keep and what to discard. We don't know how much is enough.
Decluttering is not merely eliminating, but gradually transforming our space so that we surround ourselves only with things that express our purpose. It means turning something useless into something useful; creating more leisure and space; being more honest in our relationships; eliminating distractions and simplifying our lives in order to find our spiritual roots.
Although we may cling to our clutter, what we really yearn for are surroundings of beauty, order, serenity; a balanced life; and harmonious relationships.
Clutterers Anonymous
From Psychology Today
Clutter can play a significant role in how we feel about our homes, our workplaces, and ourselves. Messy homes and work spaces leave us feeling anxious, helpless, and overwhelmed. Yet, rarely is clutter recognized as a significant source of stress in our lives.
Why does mess lead to so much stress?
Clutter bombards our minds with excessive stimuli (visual, olfactory, tactile), causing our senses to work overtime on stimuli that aren't necessary or important.
Clutter distracts us by drawing our attention away from what our focus should be on.
Clutter makes it more difficult to relax, both physically and mentally.
Clutter constantly signals to our brains that our work is never done.
Clutter makes us anxious because we're never sure what it's going to take to get through to the bottom of the pile.
Clutter creates feelings of guilt ("I should be more organized") and embarrassment, especially when others unexpectedly drop by our homes or work spaces.
Clutter inhibits creativity and productivity by invading the open spaces that allow most people to think, brain storm, and problem solve.
Clutter frustrates us by preventing us from locating what we need quickly (e.g. files and paperwork lost in the "pile" or keys swallowed up by the clutter).
Fortunately, unlike other more commonly recognized sources of stress (e.g., our jobs, our relationships), clutter is one of the easiest life stressors to fix. Here are a few ideas:
Tackle de-cluttering as a family. If clutter has invaded your entire house, don't tackle the job alone. Get the whole family involved by starting with a room everyone uses and making each person responsible for a section. If you're on your own, start with one area at a time and finish de-cluttering that area before moving on to another. This will give you a sense of accomplishment as you see your successes little by little.
Create designated spaces for frequently used items and supplies so that you can quickly and easily find what you're looking for when you need it. However, try to make these designated spaces "closed" spaces, such as drawers and cabinets. "Storing" things on open shelves or on top of your desk does not remove those visual stimuli that create stress and lessen the amount of open space that your mind "sees."
If you don't use it, don't want it, or don't need it, get rid of it. You can toss it, recycle it, or donate it (one person's trash is another person's treasure), but don't keep it. If you use it, but only rarely, store it in a box in the garage (or if it's your office, in a high or low place) to leave easy-access space for things you use more often. Also, put a date on the box. With rare exceptions, if you haven't opened the box in a year, whatever is inside is probably not something you need.
When you take something out of its designated space to use it, put it back immediately after you're finished with it. Sounds simple, but it actually takes practice and commitment.
Create a pending folder. A pending folder helps you clear off your work space while at the same time provides you with a readily accessible folder to centralize and easily locate pending projects.
Don't let papers pile up. Randon papers strewn everywhere can be Public Enemy #1 when it comes to stressful clutter. We're inundated with mail, flyers, menus, memos, newspapers, and the like. The key is to be conscious of what you bring and what others bring into your spaces. Go through these papers as soon as you can, tossing what you don't need and storing what is necessary in its proper place.
De-clutter your primary work space before you leave it. It's normal to pull things out while you're working in a space, but make a habit of cleaning off your work space before you go. Not only will this give you a sense of closure when you leave, it will also make you feel good when you return to a nice, clean space.
Make it fun! As you're going about and cleaning things out, put on some of your favorite tunes. The more up-beat, the better! Not only will you enjoy the tunes, the time will pass faster and you'll probably work faster than you would without the music.
Finally, I'd be remiss if I didn't point out that clutter doesn't only apply to our physical environment. Mental clutter can be just as stressful, if not more stressful than physical clutter. Although there is an entire article (at least) of suggestions I could offer for mental de-cluttering, one of the most basic and useful tips I can offer on mental de-cluttering is to focus on one project at a time without distractions such as cell phones, emails, and other electronic gadgets. You'll be amazed at how much more you'll accomplish when you focus on a project without allowing anything else to get in the way. And while I recognize that's hard to accomplish in today's day and age, it is do-able—and I think you'll agree, well worth the effort once you see how much you get done and how great you feel about it once the task is done.

Have a Tremendous Thursday y'all!!
Gluten Free Find at Ingles!
I don't usually shop at Ingles . . . mostly because I tend to find better deals on Gluten Free Items at other stores, but last night after Bible Study we had a quick errand to run, and stopped into Ingles to pick up the couple things on our list.
While I was there I happened to stumble upon these:
If y'all know anything about Ingles, you know that Laura Lynn is their store brand, which usually makes things a bit cheaper. For example, these were $2.99 for 10! Which isn't bad. They smell like fresh waffle comes when their cooking, which is kind of fun. I think their tasty, and may do a review later this week. But, I just wanted y'all to know these were available, because it was news to me. :)
Have a Tremendous Thursday y'all!!
Happy Pancake Day!!
Today is Shrove Tuesday, Fat Tuesday, Mardi Gras (Hence the picture below), the day before Ash Wednesday, and last but not least . . . Pancake Day!!
The reasoning behind Pancake Day is actually kind of cool:
Basically, this celebration's roots are in the pagan festivals of Slavics that intended to ward off the evil gods of cold and darkness. Pancakes, originating in the 15th century, symbolized the sun and feelings of warm weather, and they marked the impending beginning of spring. Different ingredients used in making the pancakes represented different values of the Christian faith:
Pretty neat, huh?
So, in honor of Pancake Day, I made . . . Pancakes! Shocker, I know.
If you want to make the super simple pancakes I made . . .
Here's what you'll need:
Here's what to do:
Are y'all celebrating Pancake Day? If so, let me know what flavor pancakes will be gracing your plate in the comments section below!! :D
Hope y'all have an awesome Pancake Day!!

Larabar Renola Review
Okay y'all, I tried the Cocoa Coconut Gluten Free Granola from Larabar . . . and thought I'd tell you what I think of it.
Delicious! It tastes a lot like an Almond Joy bar in my opinion, and is just super tasty in general. For flavor, I'd give it ten of ten stars!! :D
Awesome! It's nice and crunchy, nothing stale or gross. Just great granola. Out of ten stars, I'd give it a total of . . . ten stars!
I really enjoyed this granola! It's nice and crunchy with fantastic flavor! And, I'd totally recommend it.
Let me know if y'all have tried it in the comments below!
As usual, Larabar has NO clue who I am, and all opinions are solely my own.
Have a wonderful day, y'all!
There are some awesome Gluten Free products on sale this week at Kroger. I found Mi-Del Gluten Free Pie Crusts for $1. You can find them on Amazon for $7 or more, which isn't cheap . . . so, you get around $6 in savings at Kroger! :D
As if those weren't enough to fulfill all your pie-making needs, the Bob's Red Mill Pie Crust mix is also on sale for $1.
So, there ya' go -- all kinds of great foundations for pies and quiches!
Check out the Pinterest board in the side bar for some yummy filling ideas!! ;)
Hope y'all have an awesome rest of your weekend!
Simply Cheetos Puffs (White Cheddar)
These are super duper yummy . . . AND . . . a serving is 32 puffs for 150 calories.! Or you could be a freak like me, and do the math to learn that you can have roughly 22 for 100 calories. (Each puff is 4.6 calories if you cared to know.) Personally, I think that's WAY better than the glutinous 100 calorie packs that give you like 5 pretzels. Ha.
Anyways . . . if you want more nutritional info, here ya go!
Overall, these are awesome snacks, and I'd totally recommend them! They taste somewhat like Pirate's Booty, but I'd definitely give them a better rating because they have a cheesier flavor. If y'all want to try them, you can find them at Target for like $3, or on Amazon for the crazy overpriced amount of $8.43 with $4.99 shipping. Let me know if you try them and what you think of them in the comments below!
Have a great day!
Okay y'all, remember when I got my Send Me Gluten Free Box? Well, with that, I received a coupon for a free loaf of Canyon Bakehouse Gluten Free Bread! I picked mine up at Target a couple weeks ago, and realized I NEVER wrote a review. Oops. Well, wait no more because . . . this post is my review! :D
Fantastic! Just like regular bread. No weird dry spots or anything, just a consistent bready texture. I'm giving it ten out of ten stars as it is the breadiest bread I've eaten since going Gluten Free, AND it doesn't need to be toasted to have great texture. It's awesome RIGHT OUT OF THE BAG! *insert angels singing here!*
Just throw it on the counter. It won't matter. Seriously though, IT'S SHELF STABLE! No more gross cold bread sandwiches, no sir. This bread is just grand straight out of the bag. Ten of ten stars for storage.
FABULOUS. Seriously y'all. It tastes like normal bread! It's super duper yummy with some nice flavor complexity, but most importantly, it has flavor of its own. Nothing unpleasant or mostly tasteless like some other Gluten Free breads I've tried. Just really great flavor. Ten of ten stars.
I got it for free with the coupon, but . . . if you did buy it at Target, I believe it'd be around $6. Ouch. I know. I will tell you that though I think it is DELICIOUS; its price is a quite a bit more than I'd like to pay. Seven out of ten stars for price.
I think that Canyon Bakehouse has achieved their mission of having me love bread again. The ONLY way I could love it more . . . is if the price were lower. I'm giving them an eight out of ten. Like I've mentioned, the product is fantastic. However, the price is not stellar.
I hope this review was helpful. Let me know if you've tried their bread and what you thought of it in the comments below!
As usual, all opinions are solely my own, Canyon Bakehouse has NO clue who I am.
Have a great day y'all!
LiveGfree Blueberry Pancakes
Hey y'all! It'd been awhile since my last product review, so I decided I'd write up a little review on the LiveGfree Blueberry Pancakes. This is what the packaging looks like:
And, here are the Cooking Guidelines! Now, because a serving of these is three pancakes, and there are three methods of cooking the pancakes, I tested all three ways to cook them for you!
The first method I tried was the oven. Which resulted in pancakes with a moist interior and crunchy exterior. The flavor is great with a good blueberry to pancake flavor ratio. The oven method resulted in a consistent texture throughout the pancake. It does leave your mouth feeling a bit dry afterwards though. Overall, I'd rate these pancakes a 6/10 as the exterior was too crunchy for my tastes, and they left my mouth feeling a wee bit dry.
The second method I used was the toaster which resulted in a drier feeling pancake. It had a mildly crunchy texture, less than the oven, but still a bit crunchy. The blueberries were a bit more flavorful than with the oven cooking method. The center was a bit smushier than I'd prefer. I'd give them a 7/10 as the smushy center impeded my enjoyment of the pancakes overall!
The third method (microwave) resulted in a great pancake. Really great texture, with wonderful flavor. A bit low on the blueberries for me, but great nonetheless. The pancakes were airy, but not fluffy. Great for a frozen pancake though. Overall, they were soft and pancakey. This was my very favorite method of cooking. 9/10.
In all, these pancakes are quite yummy regardless of the way they're cooked. I personally would suggest microwaved with a bit of butter and syrup. Like so:
Let me know if you try these out in the comments! I would totally recommend them! :D
As usual, ALL opinions expressed in this post are mine and mine alone. Aldi has no idea I'm reviewing their product!
Have an awesome day!!

Business leaders talked with Andrew Ross Sorkin at the DealBook conference, "Playing for the Long Term." Excerpts have been edited and condensed.
Howard Schultz, Executive Chairman, Starbucks
I'd say this last week 100 million people came through Starbucks stores around the world, and our customers are a diverse base of people from all walks of life and all political persuasions. But yet we are living in a world right now where every day, almost, some episodic event is affecting the way we live, the way we think, levels of anxiety, lack of trust, lack of confidence, polarization, dysfunction. How could we ignore what is going on? We have 350,000 people working for Starbucks — they expect Starbucks as a company to have a point of view about what we stand for, what our core purpose is and what our reason for being is.
And our reason for being is not just to make money. I will go a step further and say the last few years — as we have engaged in these subjects with respect and civility and have not really taken a political position, just tried to elevate the national discourse — our business has not been affected negatively on any level, even after we attempted to raise the level of national discourse on race, which I think we should talk about.
But if you talk about tax reform, which is in the news every minute of every day, this is not tax reform. This is a tax cut. This is fool's gold. [President Trump] wants to take the corporate tax rate from 35 to 20 percent for what purpose? Is that profit going to go back to the people who need it the most? Is that going to help small businesses? Is that going to help half the country that doesn't have $400 in their bank account for a crisis?
No. So once again, where we are thinking as a company: What is our role and responsibility in raising the national conversation about things that we think are important? There's a lack of truth, there's a lack of authenticity and as a result of that we are trying to elevate a conversation that's just based on the fact that we want to be authentic.
Mellody Hobson, President, Ariel Investments
When it comes to making progress in corporate diversity, companies don't seem to be attacking the issue aggressively. What we hear is, "We're working on it."
Now look, I married Yoda's dad. My husband is George Lucas. And as many people know, in "The Empire Strikes Back," Yoda famously said, "Do or do not, there is no try." Trying is not the same thing as doing. This is not a pipeline problem. This is a blind-to-possibility problem.
I always tell people there are 300 million Americans. I guarantee there is someone out there capable of tackling or being trained to fill basically every job. And I've heard all the excuses.
Not long ago, someone actually said to me, "Black people don't want to move to Phoenix." Now, the last time I checked, black people and all people welcome the opportunity to work with smart people for good pay. Trust me, Phoenix is not a deal-breaker.
It's also been shown that employers expect more of minority candidates. We aren't allowed to just be good, we must be exceptional.
Jack Dorsey, Chairman, Co-Founder and C.E.O., Square; Co-Founder and C.E.O., Twitter
So we had an employee who on this person's last day took it upon themselves to deactivate [President Trump's Twitter account]. And there are a number of things that came out of this for us: First, that should never be possible. So we started looking into the controls that we have in place and what we could improve, and where we have weaknesses, and where we have gaps. Second, just the — you know, particular policies around what agents have control over and what they don't.
Where we haven't been great is showing the interpretations of our policies as it pertains to enforcement. And we work really hard to make sure that we are listening to voices, and specifically the journalists on our platform, to determine newsworthiness, and to determine what is public interest and what's not public interest. In some cases, we're going to get it wrong. But as our peers have said, like, this is something that is evolving, this is something that's moving very, very fast. I wouldn't give us a high grade at the moment, but we do have the intention internally in the company to fix that.
On starting a new company: Square is something I built from Day 1, and I know every single detail of that system.
My goal is to make sure that we are building something that outlives me, and that endures, and that continues to serve generations beyond me. And that means I need to build structures that aren't dependent entirely upon me. That means I need to recognize leaders who can succeed me. That means we need to get our decision-making rigor and process and understanding into the very DNA of our companies.
Mark Cuban, Owner, Dallas Mavericks; Shark, "Shark Tank"
I said I'm considering running for president. I think that given the circumstances there's a unique opportunity for somebody like me who's independent, who's not affiliated with a party in any way. I haven't given money to a politician since 2002 and I think that people are looking for an independent voice, a real independent voice, that at least has an inkling of what they're talking about.
People are tired of politicians and the things that politicians do, and whether it's me, Bob Iger, Howard Schultz, somebody else, I think there's a door that's wide open and I think somebody who doesn't have a deep affiliation with either party or with politicians has an even greater opportunity.
I met with 15, no, it ended up being eight, Democratic senators yesterday in D.C. to talk about health care, so I try to get a better understanding. To me, you can't absorb enough knowledge and you can't connect with people enough, and so I don't want to just limit myself to one silo. I don't want to be in a bubble.
The reason why I'm considering — haven't committed — is because I've got three kids. What caring, loving parent would put an 8-, 11- and 14-year-old child through this?
There's a lot of ways to have an impact and the more in tune I am, the more connected, the more educated I am about a variety of topics. the easier it is for me to decide.
Monika Bickert, Head of Product Policy and Counterterrorism, Facebook
I was a federal prosecutor for more than a decade and was looking to leave the government, but I still wanted to be doing something that I thought was socially impactful. So I went into Facebook through a legal job and hadn't been there too long when the company approached me about taking over the policy world. Basically what this means is setting the rules for what people can share on Facebook. So, what can you post, what can you advertise?
And over time, this has grown into a community where now we have people in countries all over the world, more than 85 percent of the people that are using Facebook are outside the United States. So it's this really global community where when we're setting these policies for what people can share we have to be thinking about what does it look like in, you know, in Turkey? What does it look like in Australia? And craft our rules accordingly.
We're not at the point where we say we've got it all figured out and here's how speech should be on social media. We're sort of learning as the community grows, how people talk about social and political issues right now. What we do is we say we allow people to come to Facebook to discuss what's important to them, that's why we exist.
We publish a report every six months where we say, here are the countries that have asked us to remove speech, and here's where we've done it by law. It's tricky because when you do that you are breaking this borderless service, and part of what makes Facebook so special is that you can communicate so freely all over the world. So, any time we do that we are breaking that borderless nature.
Oscar Munoz, C.E.O., United Airlines
On the passenger forcibly removed from a plane: The event as it unfolded should have never happened, and that is on me and us. And I think we've talked about that a lot. As we've dissected all the events, all the circumstances, I think one of the key learnings that I project out to folks — because we all at some point in time could be affected by this — is that you have more time to respond than you think.
The initial response that I gave under my name was wrong. Period. I own that, and it was one of those moments where you felt compelled to respond quickly as it was escalating on social media. It was a combination, as it always tends to be, a mixture of folks in your ear telling you what to say.
It was not what I felt, certainly, and I should have gone with my gut instinct. And at the end of the day when you sit in the offices that we sit in, there's no one behind you. And so what I felt, what I saw, I should have said so and moved forward from that perspective. That was probably the biggest learning in that regard. There was only one United employee effectively involved in the whole process. It was not their fault. We let the policies and procedures of a mega-operating safety-oriented organization get in the way of simple human values. No one should be treated like that.
Laurene Powell Jobs, Founder and President, Emerson Collective
From my point of view I've just been doing the work for 20 years, and a lot of the issues that we've been working on are issues of our day. And they're getting much more prominent. And the work that we've been doing is starting to accumulate. But, you know, being on the inside it seems like I just keep doing the same thing I've been doing.
So the media portfolio came through because we built out a muscle. Because we're in the social change sector, and when you're in that sector you have to also look at behavior, and identity, and the cultural narrative. And so that's why we started doing our own comm stuff, and then we started looking at media, and we realized that if you're not part of the cultural conversation you could work your entire life trying to, in a Sisyphean way, move things forward and be crushed if you don't connect with people at the heart-and-mind level.
We also believe in the importance of free and unfettered press and media, and its role in our democracy. And we know the business model is weakened, and we also feel that that kind of shoring up and that kind of belief, and the kind of patient capital that we can bring to media companies, is essential for the health and well-being of our democracy. So it's also as Americans we think it's really important.
Millard Drexler, Chairman, J. Crew Group; Founder, Drexler Ventures
I think there's a trend going on which says clothes are just not that important or as important as they were. And if you go through the audience — and I always do this at the office when I went to the office every day — is how old is what you're wearing, and what's the latest trend in the world, and what's this, that and the other thing?
I used to call shopping centers the local villages, but you don't have to go to the village to see other people if you're on your device because that's the new way of meeting and seeing and having relationships.
I think the fact that if I'm a customer and I'm used to seeing 30 percent off today, 40 off tomorrow, Black Friday is coming and they'll be giving away inventory — I think the fact of the matter is that people get used to not spending full price, and the fact is that you don't have to. It's changed everything fast.
I think it's O.K. to buy clothes, wear them for a night. Someone said to me yesterday that, well, I'm renting clothes by the month, and why should I even buy clothes anymore? So I think clothes don't play the same role in one's life as they used to.
I mean, you have to sometimes face the reality that something is not gonna grow and it might be going like this, and maybe that's the state of the retail business.
Brian Krzanich, C.E.O., Intel
On Broadcom's hostile bid for Qualcomm: You can see there have been transitions in this industry over the last 50 years where we're, you know, there was a step function in the cost of doing that and there was consolidation that occurred. I think this is just another example of scale. As important, you've got to have it and there's consolidations.
On the implication for Intel if the deal goes through: I think we face our constant kind of industry where the competitors are getting constantly bigger and stronger and, you know, because of that consolidation I don't think it really changes our strategy. If you take a look at what they're doing and where they'd play, it's mostly not in the same places. We're more the higher-end high computers, you know, large data center PCs. They tend not to be in those, so it's not going to change our strategy.
On resigning from President Trump's Manufacturing Council: I think it's never any one thing — you never just walk out and go, 'Oh it's this.' You know this thing that triggered it, it's kind of a buildup. The first was, I joined it to really be to, I believe it's an imperative for the U.S. to keep bringing manufacturing back — that R&D and manufacturing are often tied together, and if we lose manufacturing I would think we risk losing R&D next, and so I think it's an imperative. As we went through that week, Charlottesville happened first, and it made you start to think, "O.K., what's happening to this?"
And then what really triggered it for me was Ken [Frazier of Merck] left the council, and when Ken left, when I saw him leave and it became very politicized, and I said, that's not what I want to be a part of. This is not now something that's really focused on just manufacturing, it's becoming more political.
Dara Khosrowshahi, C.E.O., Uber
To me it comes down to the product and the brand and, frankly, the product and the brand that Travis [Kalanick] and his founding team have built is extraordinary and talented. The company's extraordinary, and the culture went wrong and the governance of the company went wrong, and the board went in a very bad direction. But if the product is good, then if you can bring in good leadership and you can ultimately bring it together — and I think we're on our way. It's going to take a lot of work. But after two months I feel better about where we are than, frankly, I was going in.
It's a good relationship but it also comes with balance and that's what I told Travis very early on, is that any new C.E.O. needs space and needs that from the old C.E.O. And so I told him very early on, "Travis, I'm actually gonna be pushing you away early on because I need my space." I need to be able to meet with a team. I need to be able to communicate with them so that they're just communicating with me and they don't have someone to go around if they don't like something that they've heard, etc. So you've got to let me engage with the team, engage with a company, engage with the culture.
And I was a little worried about that conversation. But, actually, he took it really well and he's been very respectful, and at the same time he's been available to me whenever I've needed him.
Randall L. Stephenson, C.E.O., AT&T
On the proposed AT&T-Time Warner merger and CNN: I have never offered to sell CNN. You think about what we're trying to accomplish here and one of the key benefits of putting these two companies together is to stand up a new advertising capability. We have built an amazing distribution platform — 150 million mobile subscribers — the largest pay TV base in the United States, a huge broadband base. There's a lot of information and data that we think can be used to stand up and do advertising business.
Pairing that with the Turner advertising inventory is a really powerful thing. We believe that is what we aspire to do. Selling CNN makes no sense in that context if that's the business you're trying to build. So to suggest that I would be interested in selling CNN just doesn't make sense.
I will state again, I'm not selling CNN and AT&T is not selling CNN.
I personally think that where we are right now in the world of advertising and media is that there are a couple of players who have built incredibly strong positions and impressive positions in advertising and they are technology companies and I believe that if we are going to compete — if somebody is going to compete — with them the best opportunity we have is somebody like AT&T.
Laurence D. Fink, Chairman and C.E.O., BlackRock
We have a very strong global economy. I must say, though, prices are more extreme now. So much of corporate profitability is validating the stock market valuations. But we have risen three-plus multiple points, so, you know, we're not extreme prices but we're certainly not cheap.
President Trump has given more confidence in some business through some deregulation that allows — you're seeing more spending by some companies. And so I would say there are many parts of the world that have created this atmosphere, and I would say the United States is partly contributing to this.
But let's be clear — the market dynamics are good. We're being tested as management teams and boards making sure we're doing the right thing. I do believe we have lost focus and there is too much short-termism, but I think it's going to be hard. As Ken Chenault suggested, long term is only two years, and I think that's the equal system we're all working in. And I would say long term for Washington is about six weeks. So we're living in a world where everything has been truncated to smaller components of time.
Kenneth Chenault, Chairman and C.E.O., American Express
I think over all the consumer is in pretty good shape. I think as we all understand we're not talking about a robust economy. But what is interesting, if you look around the world, the economy has been relatively stable in a range of markets.
I don't think that's happened for quite a while, and if you'd asked me a year ago how would you feel, I would have told you I've got concerns in this region and in this region. And we're at a point in time where, in fact, things are holding up pretty well.
That said, what you're seeing is a demarcation in performance because there are some companies — in fact, many companies — that have not been able to take advantage of the stability, and, in fact, were banking on seeing an improvement in the economy. And so the consumer is there, certainly spending, we're certainly seeing that on our cards. They certainly want experiences. They like to travel and we're seeing from a millennial perspective a strong interest both in our products and services but also experiences in travel. I'm not going to predict what the holiday season is going to be, but what I would say is we've been very encouraged about the spending.

EJN's mentoring program explores the human dimensions of climate change in Nigeria
Earth Journalism Network, Lagos, Nigeria
In addition to building the capacity of journalists and developing a series of environmentally-focused local content, the purpose of EJN's mentorship program is to increase the knowledge of journalists in Nigeria on the challenges of covering climate change. This mentoring program will provide a comprehensive overview into the science behind climate change-related issues, link budding reporters to scientists and other experts in the field, and produce journalists with a long-term commitment to climate change reporting.
The journalists selected for the mentoring program are:
- Innocent Onoh: A radio journalist, Onoh is the head of the Environment & Science Desk at the Federal Radio Corporation of Nigeria (FRCN) in Lagos
- Augustina Ogbonna-Armstrong: Ogbonna-Armstrong is a freelance multimedia journalist who focuses on environmental, sustainable development and community development reporting
- Kayode Aboyeji: A print journalist, Aboyeji is the head of the Environment Desk at the Daily Newswatch Newspaper in Lagos. He is very passionate about climate change, environmental and sustainable development reporting
After several weeks of communicating with the mentees over the Internet, I had the first face-to-face meeting with them on June 18, 2015 in Lagos.
I introduced the goals of the project and outlined both what is expected of them and how they can benefit from participation. We discussed and agreed on other avenues of communications and outreach, including a Twitter hashtag, Facebook page and a WhatsApp discussion group.
The mentees were elated over being selected for the program. While commending EJN for backing the initiative, they expressed the desire to learn and engage with each other over the course of the 10-month project.
We discussed climate change-related story ideas and several mentees took the opportunity to pitch stories, which I evaluated and gave suggestions for coverage. At this point, all three mentees have begun to submit original reports and ten stories have been published on EnviroNews Nigeria and Teenaijanews Blpgspot, while radio reports broadcasted on Radio One Lagos and Radio Nigeria Network were uploaded to AudioBloom.
The materials produced thus far have focused on the human dimensions of climate change, telling the stories of ordinary, vulnerable people that are hugely affected by shifting weather patterns. In some cases, stories have also highlighted the adaptation strategies of these communities.
Stories like: "Ocean surge: We've no place to go, laments Okun-Alfa residents" and "Too much rain threatening our yield, vegetable farmers lament" (written by Kayode Aboyeji) both capture the scale and dimensions of these climate change impacts.
The mentees are also being encouraged to apply for grants and opportunities to fund further reporting on climate issues. All three applied for a Climate Change Media Partnership program to attend COP21 in Paris this year. Innocent Onoh got through to the semi-final stage.
They also applied for Oak Foundation-funded story grants on climate vulnerabilities. Two applications were submitted – an individual effort by Kayode Aboyeji and a joint entry by Innocent Onoh and Augustina Ogbonna-Armstrong. The latter application was successful and Onoh and Ogbonna-Armstrong are embarking on a trip to several states in the northern part of the country to investigate how climate change has impacted the region, and issues related to the Green Wall Project, among others.
Onoh remarked on the program: "I never knew some things I took for granted matter a lot. This mentorship (program) is really worth it.."
Michael Simire is the editor of EnviroNews Nigeria and member of EJN Council of Partners.
Adapting to climate change will cost a lot more than thought

And it's back, you're favourite day of the week: #WasteLessWednesday!
You know what's gross? That line of sticky, icky grime that forms along the perimeter of the bath tub. The dark patches of gunk that line the bottom of the shower stall. Those stains of a well-known origin in the toilet bowl. Caked-on spit in the sink.
You know what's also gross? The list of ingredients in ordinary bathroom cleaners that have been proven toxic for both the earth and our bodies.
When I clean the bathtub, I want to know I can fill it up right away for Cub to hop in without fearing that any cleaner that may not have been rinsed away could cause him harm. I only ever clean our shower stall while I am IN the shower. The cleaner I use goes on my toes and my hands, and I breathe it in.
That's why I clean my bathroom surfaces with this recipe I got from Martha Stewart:
I fill a short, wide mason jar with baking soda, adding enough water to make it into a paste. Then I add a couple drops of Castile soap and eucalyptus essential oil (you could also use tea tree or lavender), mix it up, and I'm ready to scrub. (My favourite scrubbing tool is my Vileda Scrunge sponge.)
You can make up a large batch and keep it stored in an airtight container. If it starts getting dry, just add a little bit of water.
I find this paste cuts through all the yuck in our bathtub, sinks and shower stall, and I also like to drop some dollops of it in the toilet and scrub it around with the toilet brush.

Marketing campaigns can take several forms. Your business may want to advertise using text ads on search engine results, banner ads placed on strategic publisher websites, or you may have social media or email campaigns that communicate your brand and products to customers. It's common to use a combination of these marketing activities to drive sales and website conversions.
Marketing campaigns are tracked in Google Analytics through "campaign tagging." Campaign tags are extra bits of information that you add to the URL links of your online marketing or advertising materials. These include tracking parameters followed by an equals sign and a single word or hyphenated words that you designate.
When users click on a link with added parameters, the Google Analytics tracking code will extract the information from the link and associate that user and their behavior with your marketing campaign. That way, you can know which people came to your site through your various marketing activities.
For example, the Google Store has a monthly email newsletter it sends to its customers with links back to the Google Store website. Adding a campaign tag of "email" to these links allows the store to easily identify the users that came to the website from the email newsletter in Google Analytics.
There are five different campaign tags that help you identify specific information about your campaign traffic. Medium, Source, and Campaign are required campaign tags. You can also add tags for Content and Term.
We discussed medium and source when we introduced you to Acquisition reports.
- "Medium" communicates the mechanism, or how you sent your message to the user. You could include "email" for an email campaign, "cpc" for paid search ads, or "social" for a social network.
- "Source" communicates where the user came from. This could be a specific web page or a link in an email. Source could also differentiate the type of medium. So if the medium was "cpc" (or "cost per click" paid traffic), the source might be "google," "bing," or "yahoo." If the medium was "email," the source might be "newsletter".
- "Campaign" can communicate the name of your marketing campaign such as "2015-Back-To-School" or "2015-Holiday-Sale".
- "Content" can be used to differentiate versions of a promotion. This is useful when you want to test which version of an ad or promotion is more effective. If you're running a test between two different versions of a newsletter, you might want to label these tags "v1-10dollars-off" and "v2-nopromo" to help differentiate which newsletter the data is associated with in Google Analytics.
- "Term" is used to identify the keyword for paid search campaigns. You would only use this field if you are manually tagging a paid search campaign like Bing or Yahoo!. We'll talk about the best way to track Google Ads in a later lesson.
To add these parameters into the URLs associated with your ads, Google Analytics provides a tool called "URL builder" in our Help Center, which we'll cover next.

Joining Dueling Modems
Rates & Billings
The basic subscription rate for Dueling Modems is $6.95/month or $69.50/year. Each month's subscription fee will be applied towards usage in the following month.
As an incentive, DM offers the first month free of charge. Accordingly, for subscribers who sign up during October, your first billing date will be somewhere around November 20, and will cover December's usage. Subscribers who join in November will see their first bills near the end of December, and so on.
Are you a professional writer?
Accessing DM
Access to DM will be via Internet protocols only. DM will not provide direct dial-up access. DM's bulletin board-style Discussion Groups can be accessed using either a web browser or an NNTP newsreader that supports user authentication (more information on the Discussion Groups).
DM & the Old Genie
As stated above, many of our content providers also ran areas on old Genie. We all fully intended to continue supporting those areas as long as Genie itself remained in operation and wanted our participation. Clearly, though, the Internet is the "wave of the future" for online services. There will be things that we want to do, that we can only do here on the net.
Please understand: we did not leave old Genie, it was shut down. While we didn't wish to go into competition with ourselves, we wanted to be able to guarantee our communities that there will always be a home, somewhere online. Additionally, we wanted to be able to take advantage of the possibilities of being on the net. In an ideal world, we would have used the two service locations to complement each other; however, as many of us know, that was not to be.
We deeply and sincerely hoped that the old Genie would have been updated and allowed to prosper and continue to grow, so as to provide as much online versatility as possible for members of the Genie communities. That said, the old Genie still lives on here as long as the communities want it to.
DM General Policies
Full details of DM's policies can be found in the Terms and Conditions Agreement. In general...
From an Internet perspective, please consider DM's Discussion Groups to be moderated newsgroups. As such, we will try to maintain whatever degree of sanity and safety the community itself decides is appropriate. So, we will be doing a nominal amount of "topic copping."
However, we're very much aware that this is not the old Genie, and that we're bound only by our own opinions and respect for the community proper. So, the policing here will be very limited in nature. Specifically:
Content and usage will be restricted in the following manners:
General - Dueling Modems is a closed, commercial online environment. As such, there are no First Amendment guarantees extended to the membership. Notwithstanding that, however, DM supports complete freedom of expression as much as is possible in such an environment.
DM acknowledges that online communities establish their own language and behavior standards. Forum sysops will monitor their Forums and establish guidelines acceptable to the overall community they administer. DM management will support whatever guidelines the sysops establish for their areas, providing it is clearly understood that such guidelines apply only to that area.

The Hombre del Saco, or Sack Man, seems to be one of the earliest versions of the bogeyman legend.
He manifests in tales as an old man with a large sack slung over his shoulder, stretched taut from the bundles of kidnapped children struggling within. He prowls the back alleys and other dark corners of his haunts, always alert for more unwary youngsters. Once the Sack Man put them into his sack, they were never seen again.

There was a lively debate raging in the United States over whether we had any business getting involved in a foreign was when the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. The events that happened on November 7th, 1941 changed everything.
There were still people who felt we shouldn't engage in a war so soon after World War 1, but the majority of the country were outraged that another country would attack us without provocation.
Young men from all over the United States rushed to recruiting offices to sign up to fight. My father wanted to be one of those, but his mother informed him he was to finish high school before he went anywhere.
For anyone who knew my grandmother knows it would take a force much more powerful that a mere war to change her mind.
Dad waited six long months and the day he graduated from Boise High, he signed up for the Navy.
He was assigned to the USS Hancock, the Fighting
Hannah as she was called by those who served on her.
For a small town boy, this was the big time. He spent
most of his time aboard the Hancock in the Pacific,
raiding Japanese occupied bases in the Philippines and
Okinawa. He saw more action than anyone would have
liked including a direct hit to the Hancock by a Japanese suicide bomber.
In one of the worst incidents to happen on the Hancock, one of the newer pilots came back to the ship with damaged landing gear. He was in a panic, and all though the officers tried to calm him, he refused to listen. they advised him to bail out and ditch the plane in the sea. Instead, the pilot tried to land on the Hancock, crashing into other planes on deck. Fuel tanks exploded injuring many men and damaging the ship.
Raised in Pennsylvania, during the depression with twelve brothers and sisters, my father-in-law, John Bochenek, had two choices in life. He could become a coal miner like his father or join the military. He chose the latter and became a bombadeer during the Second World War. He flew many missions over what was called the Burma Hump. The hump was the name given by Allied pilots in the Second World War to the eastern end of the Himilayan Mountains over which they flew military transport aircraft from India to China to resupply the Chinese war effort and the units of the US Armed Forces based in China.
The airlift began in April 1942, after the Japanese blocked the Burma Road and continued on a daily basis from May 1942 to August 1945.
He brought back many pictures and stories of his time spent there. John stayed in the military until he retired as a Master Sargent.
Thank you, Dad and John, and all the others who sacrificed to save out country. Thanks to all the men and women who still today give up so much so we can remain free.

Springtime is a good time to enjoy the blooming flowers, long walks, and family picnics. For people with diabetes, Spring can mean getting outside for more physical activity which can help control your blood glucose.
The 2008 Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans states that adding physical activity to your daily routine can lower your risk for many health problems. These include heart disease, type 2 diabetes, stroke, and high blood pressure. It can also help prevent falls, aid in weight loss, and reduce depression.
The guidelines suggest mixing moderate and vigorous activity when exercising. During a moderate activity, you can talk easily but not sing. Examples of moderate activity include walking briskly, general gardening (raking, trimming shrubs), dancing, water aerobics, or biking on flat ground. A vigorous activity is when you can say few words, but not hold conversations. Swimming, heavy gardening (digging, hoeing) or hiking are vigorous activities.
For better success on those Spring days, team up with a friend to do outside activities that you both enjoy. This can mean meeting 3 mornings a week to briskly walk around the neighborhood. This type of exercise system can be very supportive for those less motivated days. You and your walking buddy should continue to build on your activity level to get the best health benefits from exercise. Try mixing moderate and vigorous activity by adding sections of jogging into your walk.
Adults with diabetes should work with their health care team to see what kind and how much physical activity is right for them. It is important to monitor your blood glucose while exercising and check your feet daily for any changes.
The American Diabetes Association has suggestions for people with diabetes in order to get the most out of being physically active. These include drinking water, checking your blood sugar before and after being physical active, and taking various safety measures.
It is important to drink water in order to stay hydrated. If you do not usually drink water during the day, start out by drinking 8 ounces before being active. Drinking water is needed to manage your diabetes.
One safety measure that should never be overlooked is checking your blood sugar before and after being physically active. If you check your blood sugar before and it is low (under 80 mg/dL), do not exercise without eating a snack. Try having a few crackers, a piece of fruit, or 8 ounces of low-fat milk. These are items that can be used to raise your blood sugar slightly before being physically active.
Unless you plan on being active for more than an hour, you should not have to eat any snacks during your exercise. However, if you think you might be active for longer periods, carry a snack with you. It is a good idea to keep hard candy, mints, or 1 serving (15 grams) of glucose gel or tablets with you when exercising.
For people with diabetes, physical activity can cause your blood glucose to respond in varying ways. It is important to wear an identification bracelet that states you have diabetes, your medicines, and an emergency phone number. This will help people know what to do if you are unable to tell them.
It is best to exercise after a meal so the medicine and food work together. Also, avoid being physically active when your medicine peaks (working the hardest). If you take pills or inject insulin, check your blood sugar before being physically active.
It is not good to exercise if your blood sugar is too low. If you have type 1, do not exercise if you test positive for ketones. This is because being physically active usually lowers your blood sugar, but if you have ketones your blood sugar levels could rise.
If you have type 2 and your blood sugar is too high (check with your doctor for your individual number), you might have to change the amount you exercise. For example, you may need to walk slower on that day.
If you take medicine to manage your diabetes and you notice that being active always lowers your blood sugar too much, try talking to your doctor about dosage options.

Industrial Hygiene & Safety
Indoor Air Quality Evaluation
Indoor air quality (IAQ) has become a priority in schools, public and commercial buildings. Good IAQ contributes to worker health and comfort, and improves productivity. Some of the factors affecting IAQ and thermal comfort include inadequate ventilation, temperature and humidity extremes, volatile organic compounds and particulates (internal and/or external sources), microorganisms (fungi and bacteria), fungal mycotoxins, or bacterial endotoxins. EQM's IAQ services are designed to help resolve these and other indoor air quality concerns.
Our industrial hygiene and occupational health personnel have been conducting IAQ evaluations for more than 20 years. The group's experience includes evaluations to document occupant complaints and symptoms, performance evaluations of HVAC systems, identification of excessive moisture conditions using direct probe and radio frequency measurements, asbestos and lead-based paint assessments conducting chemical and/or microbial sampling for VOC's, mold and other potential contaminants and solution design and remediation.
Our indoor air quality services include:
- IAQ evaluations
- Mold assessments
- Asbestos assessments
- Lead-based paint
- Moisture analysis
- Odor evaluations
- Contaminant & remediation design

RMP PSM Support
Companies that handle highly hazardous chemicals in excess of threshold quantities must comply with OSHA's Process Safety Management (PSM) standard, 29 CFR 1910.119 and EPA's Risk Management (RM) Program rule, 40 CFR Part 68. The intent of OSHA's PSM or EPA's Risk Management Plan (RMP) program is to prevent an unexpected release of highly hazardous chemicals with toxic, reactive, or flammable properties which could cause significant harm to employees, the public, or the environment. EQM has developed many PSM and RMP programs for clients in a variety of industries as well as for individual PSM elements such as Mechanical Integrity (MI), Management of Change (MOC), and Pre-Startup Safety Review (PSSR).
Litigation Support
Trial tested staff provide litigation support in exposure assessment; exposure reconstruction and analysis, indoor environmental quality, building contamination assessments, and insurance claims support.
Noise & Vibration Evaluation
Designs and conducts occupational and community noise assessments.
Safety Data Sheet Preparation
Prepares Safety Data Sheets (SDS) that are compliant with OSHA's Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals (GHS) Hazard Communication Standard (29 CFR 1910.1200).
Combustible Dust Assessment
Dust can pose a significant fire and explosion hazard in the workplace, and many employers are unaware that this dangerous condition exists in their facility. Failure to analyze dust hazards and use the correct mitigation strategies puts companies at serious risk for fire and explosions.
Combustible dust can exist in many industries. Most natural and synthetic organic materials and some metals can form combustible dust. Industries susceptible to combustible dust include agriculture, chemical, metal processing, coal and other carbon products, paper products, food processing, pharmaceuticals, textile and furniture products, and wastewater treatment (bio-solids).
EQM can assist with the evaluation and control of combustible dust hazards. Key service areas include:
- Identify areas of the facility where combustible dust cloud atmospheres could exist under normal and/or abnormal conditions.
- Characterize the dust for combustibility.
- Identify potential ignition sources.
- NFPA 654 compliance audit.
- Employee training.
Legionella Investigation
Legionella is a bacterium that can cause pneumonia (Legionnaires' Disease) or a flu-like illness (Pontiac Fever). The name Legionella was derived from the original outbreak at the 1976 American Legion Convention that caused 34 deaths and illnesses of 200 more people. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that the cases of Legionnaires' Disease are rising.
In 2013, 4,954 individual confirmed cases were reported in hospitals, hotels, office buildings, schools, industrial buildings, etc. There are 58 known species of Legionella and more than 70 serogroups, half of which have been associated with human disease. Legionella pneumophila has caused the majority of cases.
EQM can assist with the assessment and control of Legionella. Our key service areas include:
- Investigation of suspected or confirmed cases of Legionellosis.
- Legionella hazard assessment to identify risks presented by water systems and develop control measures to reduce risk of Legionella exposure.
- Routine and post-disinfection monitoring of water systems.
- Development of a Legionella Bacteria Control Management Plan consistent with ASHRAE Guidelines 12-2000, ASHRAE Standard 188P, and/or other Legionella guidelines.

This is a salsa, but whenever I make it I just end up eating it by the spoonful like a salad. The combination of the tart, crisp pomegranate, creamy cheese, and crunchy pine nuts makes a wonderful topping for grilled fish or even a carne asada taco. Pine nuts can be expensive because of the labor-intensive work of extracting them from the pine cones, plus they have a high fat content, which makes them turn rancid quickly. So buy a small quantity and store them in the fridge for no longer than three months.
- Yield
- Makes 1 1/2 cups
- 1/4 cup pine nuts
- Seeds from 1 large pomegranate (about 1 cup)
- 2 tablespoons thinly sliced fresh basil
- 2 tablespoons crumbled queso fresco or feta
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 Toast the pine nuts in a dry skillet over medium heat until golden, 4 minutes. Transfer to a plate to cool.
- 2 In a small bowl, mix the pomegranate seeds, basil, queso fresco, and cooled pine nuts. Drizzle with the olive oil and season with salt and pepper.

However, if you want to take a travel first aid kit with you to your destination, you may want to keep it in checked baggage or you must remove banned first aid items from your kit. Here is a list of approved first aid items that travelers can carry on airline flights. ralphgillen / Getty Images Allowed Most first aid items are relatively soft and not very dangerous to the average flight crew. Those items are still welcome in carry-on baggage for domestic airline flights in the United States. Flights overseas have, in most cases, banned all except essential items from carry-on bags. The approved first aid items for domestic airline flights include: Gauze padsBandage scissors (blades less than four inches)Roller gauzeTapeGlovesTriangular bandagesElastic bandagesAdhesive bandagesPain relieversMoleskinLip balmsBarrier devices for CPR Allowed in Limited Quantities Heightened security on airline flights has led to restrictions on all liquids and gels. Solid items are still available, such as stick antiperspirants or lip balms. Here are restricted items commonly found in a first aid kit: Hand cleanerHydrogen peroxideAntibiotic ointmentInsect bite swabs None of these liquids or gels can be in a container larger than 3 fl oz (100 ml) and all liquids and gels must fit into a single quart-sized resealable baggie. Allowed With Permission From Security Personnel Some first aid items must be approved for carry-on by security personnel prior to boarding domestic airline flights. These first aid items are usually essential supplies for specific medical conditions. It is important to declare these first aid and medical items while proceeding through airport security. These items will be allowed on domestic airline flights after inspection: Glucose gels or liquids including juice for diabetic passengers (cannot be more than 5oz or 148ml)Diabetic supplies including syringes, lancets, glucometers, pumps, etc.Epinephrine auto-injectorOther medication and pumps such as Flolan for primary pulmonary hypertensionNitroglycerin spray4oz or less of essential non-prescription gel or liquid medications (eye care, saline, sterile lubricant, etc.)Liquid prescription medication if the label matches the name of the passenger Talk to Security Airport security will have to make decisions every day regarding medical supplies. If you have an essential need such as wound care items on a long flight, for example, speak to security about it. Safety on airline flights is important for all of us, but security officers will try to be reasonable regarding passengers' medical needs. Was this page helpful? Thanks for your feedback!
