Looking for answers? We're here to help, hopefully our FAQ's on work boots can answer all your questions.
If not please get in touch.
1. What is MyBestWorkBoots?
To find the best work boots, you need to consider two aspects: first, you need to know what you will use the boots for, and second, you need to decide which environment you will be using them in. This will help you decide if you need work boots with specific capabilities or overall good quality boots. The Best Work Boots is a website that provides you with enough information to determine exactly what work boots you need. To find out more about what our website offers go to our About page.
2. Are there fees involved using our website?
Using our website is completely free of cost! The information is provided to help you, in making a good choice when buying a pair of work boots.
3. Which size boots should a buy for a perfect fit?
If you generally wear a half-sized boot, for example an 8.5, but the pair of boots you'd like to purchase only come in whole sizes, rather purchase a size 9.
4. Is it better to buy a steel toe or composite toe?
Most people feel that a steel toe boot provides more protection than a boot with a composite toe. But, if you don't need a steel toe, rather go for boots with a composite toe, because steel toe boots tend to be a little heavier than those with composite toes.
5. What outsole type is the most durable?
The Goodyear Welt is definitely the most durable outsole construction type. Thereafter is the Cement construction, and the least durable is the Direct Attach outsole construction.
6. What outsole construction type is comfortable?
Although the Direct Attach construction type is not as durable, it is comfortable! The Cement construction and Goodyear Welt is less comfortable, as they are designed to be more durable than the Direct Attach outsole construction.

The Nissan Titan XD is a serious, full-size pickup truck designed for work and play. It is available in both rear-wheel and four-wheel drive configurations as a Single Cab, King Cab or Crew Cab bodystyle.
The Titan XD is powered by either a 390-hp 5.6-liter Endurance V8 engine mated to seven-speed automatic transmission, or a 310-hp / 555 lb-ft Cummins 5.0-liter diesel engine and a six-speed automatic for maximum towing capability. Safety features on all trims include six airbags, anti-lock disc brakes, brake assist, tire pressure monitoring and electronic stability control. As you step up through the trims, other features include trailer sway control, blind spot warning, rear camera, tow hooks, LED daytime running lights, fog lights, front and rear sonar parking sensors and surround view. The available creature comforts rival that of luxury brands including front and rear heated seats, voice activated navigation, Rockford Fosgate audio, Bluetooth, and leather seating.
For 2017, a Single Cab and a King Cab join the line-up.
Built on a heavy-duty frame, Titan XD is rated to tow up to 12,000 pounds and we found it can comfortably handle 9,000-pound trailers.
Titan XD offers a choice of Cummins 5.0-liter turbodiesel or 5.6-liter Endurance V8 gasoline engine.The diesel is rated at 555 foot-pounds of torque at 1600 rpm, giving it strong trailer-pulling power.
Titan XD looks like the light-duty Titan, but shares little in terms of hardware.
Inside, the cab is comfortable, with supportive seats.
The navigation screen is small, but the rearview camera is useful when backing up or attaching a trailer.Surround-view cameras help in tight places, along with cross-traffic alerts when backing up, sensors front and rear to aid parking.
Underway, Titan XD feels tall, but crisp, taut, more agile and precise than the other heavy-duty pickups.The suspension is relatively firm and controlled, and the steering is direct.
Titan beds are equipped a tie-down system that makes dealing with different types of cargoes easier.Storage boxes that lock are available.The tailgate is damped so it doesn't slam down.
Titan is set up for towing a gooseneck trailer.Installing the ball and chain anchors takes about as much time as it took you to read this paragraph.That's a nice feature, considering it can be difficult to get advice from car dealers or trailer dealers or anyone else about towing setups.
Titan XD comes with an integrated trailer-brake controller that makes stopping more accurate than an aftermarket setup.
It's worth noting that the Titan XD is more American than a Japanese steak house in Tennessee.That is to say, it has a Nissan badge on it, but there's very little here that's Japanese.Designed in California, the Titan XD was engineered in Michigan and tested in Arizona.The truck is built in Mississippi.The 5.6-liter Endurance V8s are built in Tennessee, while the Cummins diesels are built in Indiana.
Single Cabs come in S ($31,090) and SV trim ($34,990) with gas or diesel.
Climbing into the Titan XD requires a heave-ho, seemingly more so than with the other heavy-duty pickups; perhaps the XD's biggest downside compared with the domestic HDs.
Crew Cabs offer full-size, front-hinged rear doors that open wide to reveal roomy, comfortable back seats.Storage is available underneath, and the rear seats fold down to a flat load floor, though that floor is too high for a big dog.Single cabs are work trucks, crew cabs offer luxurious passenger travel and everyday practicality.
Control for dash functions are large and easy to operate.The navigation screen is on the small side.The rearview camera works well and surround-view cameras make maneuvering in tight spaces easier.Cubby storage is aplenty, including big console storage.
Titan XD crew cabs ride on a 151.6-inch wheelbase with 5.5-foot beds.Maximum payload capacity is 2000 pounds, and the Titan XD can handle a snowplow, though a manual transmission is not available.
Lights mounted low in the bed illuminate the contents, even when a bed cover is installed.A rail system in addition to traditional tie-downs make securing cargo easier.The tail gate is damped and opens smoothly and lowers easily instead of slamming down with a thud.
In terms of handling and ride quality, Titan XD feels like it's somewhere between Silverado 1500 and Silverado 2500.We are tempted to call it semi-heavy duty, but practically speaking, Titan XD will do everything most trucks in the F-250 class are called upon to do.If you need more towing capability than what the XD offers, you may want to consider the F-350 class.
We found the Titan XD quite capable while pulling a 10,000-pound gooseneck trailer.We had the same impression while hauling a heavy load.
The 5.0-liter diesel starts easily, even in cold weather, by inserting a key then pressing a start button.It rumbles pleasantly at idle.From outside, the traditional diesel clatter can barely be heard.This Cummins sounds confident, but not loud and clattery like the 5.9-liter inline-6 used in earlier Rams.
Underway, the diesel is smooth and delivers strong pulling power whenever the loud pedal is depressed.The two-stage turbo is tuned well to provide easy cruising over the flatlands or strong acceleration.
It comes with a heavy-duty Aisin 6-speed automatic controlled by a column shifter, with a rotary dial for two- or four-wheel drive.
Titan XD is set up for a fifth-wheel or gooseneck hitch.In literally a couple of minutes after pulling off the dealer lot, it's possible to pop the plugs in the bed, plug in a ball.Then, back up to a gooseneck trailer using the cameras to locate, lower the trailer onto the ball, hook the chains through, and off you go to the races.But before you drive off, stand behind the trailer, press a couple of buttons on the key fob, and a test sequence will initiate allowing you to observe all the brake lights and turn signals are working, a fantastic feature.
Hooking up a bumper-pull trailer is made easier with a rearview camera that was redesigned for 2016 with this task in mind.
The trailer mirrors are effective, if on the small side, with a convex mirror below the flat mirror.The trailer mirrors can be extended manually, by standing outside the truck and yanking on them, not as convenient as the power-extendable mirrors on the F-250.Also, the mirrors tilt down when selecting reverse, a feature we seldom appreciate.

Yellow Swirl Heart Stained Glass Suncatcher 065
This is a stained glass suncatcher made using the Tiffany copper foil technique. It is entirely hand crafted, unique and very special.
This was a new heart design for Spring 2017.
I made the original version as a Rainbow version but now make several other colour variations. This is my bright yellow option.
I've made the heart from 7 types and colours of glass, gorgeous yellow textures and I've set them in a swirl round a sparkling crystal.
I've framed it with twisted wire for neatness and strength.
It is 10cm high by 10cm and hangs from a silvery chain which is securely attached to the top of the heart.
It looks lovely hanging in the window where the different textures and shades of glass give it movement and sparkle as it catches the light.
This item is absolutely unique. I never make two pieces exactly the same, I always use slightly different colours and textures of glass. This will make a wonderful present, at any time, as a special gift for someone you love.
The last photos show other colour options. These are all for sale as separate listings.
You can find them all by clicking on the tag of :

Good morning.
I ask a question because I do not have experience with open vpn.
I must to create a link to allow the technicians of my company to connect with their laptops in VPN with the customers' remote offices, to carry out monitoring of some software. To do this, we planned to use an external VPN server ( in cloud server) and create many SITE to SITE VPN between the CLOUD server and the customer. Then the technician will connect with a VPN client to CLOUD VPN server that allow the connection with the client.
THE questions are:
-The configuration is correct?
-The VPN server license you can also instalalre on Windows PC?
-The VPN server license is free?
-The Client license for the technician is free?
Ask questions about your Access Server configuration here.

Securing a Health Care Plan in retirement can be a challenge if you retire before age 65 and are Medicare eligible. If you are under 65, there are typically two options available. First, you can continue on your employer's health insurance (assuming you had an employer who offered health care) for up to 18 months. This is called COBRA. With COBRA, you will pay 102% of the premium—the full cost of the insurance plus a 2% administrative fee. Second, you can obtain your own coverage through the marketplace paying the going rate and keeping that coverage until you are Medicare eligible at age 65. Note that with the first option, the 18 month COBRA period may not take you to age 65 so you might still need to obtain your own policy for some period of time.
Once you reach age 65, you will be eligible for Medicare. However, you should enroll for Medicare approximately 90 days before turning 65. If you have not yet begun Social Security, you will receive a quarterly bill from Medicare. If you have started receiving Social Security, your Medicare premium will be deducted automatically from your monthly benefit. Part A is free; Part B comes with a cost that is generally based on your income from two years prior. If your income from the prior two years was significantly higher than the current year, you can appeal to Medicare to reduce the premium. No guarantees that they will lower it, but you can try.
In addition to Medicare, most people also obtain a Medigap policy (supplemental insurance) which covers a lot of what Medicare doesn't (but not dental, long-term care, hearing aids, eyeglasses, and a variety of other items). The cost will vary depending on the policy selected, and they are identified by letter—A through N (although E, H, I and J are no longer available). Each has different features and benefits and your personal situation will determine which is best for you.
Finally, there's Medicare Part D—the prescription drug plan. Again, this comes in a variety of flavors and the one you select will depend on the medications that you use. Pharmacies can help determine which plan is best for you, and you can also go to www.medicare.gov to help you determine which plan best meets your needs.
Health care in retirement can be complicated. Please make sure that you work with your Wealth Manager as you approach retirement in order to map out the options that are best suited for your unique circumstances. For additional information, the Medicare website has a great—though not short—guide to the program here.

D.LIGHT RECEIVES United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) APPROVAL FOR GROUND-BREAKING CARBON OFFSET PROJECT
Approval Marks One of the First Times Portable Solar Lanterns Will Generate Carbon Credits
New Delhi, India - D.light Design today announced that it has received approval from the UNFCCC for a ground-breaking carbon offset project in Uttar Pradesh and Bihar in India. The project, which innovatively tracks the reduction in carbon emissions that result from D.light solar lamps replacing kerosene lanterns, is the first of its kind to receive UNFCCC approval. The decision by the UN body, the only organization with a global mandate to evaluate the effectiveness of emission control systems, acknowledges the extent to which portable solar lighting products can contribute to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions on a global scale.
Kerosene and other fuel-based sources of lighting are one of the top contributors to greenhouse gas emissions in the developing world. It is estimated that a single kerosene lantern may emit as much as 1 ton of carbon dioxide over the course of five years; each year, kerosene lamps are responsible for over 100 tons of CO2 emissions into the
"D.light's solar lanterns vastly improve the lives of our individual customers, but they also benefit the global environment," said D.light CEO Sam Goldman. "Every D.light solar lantern purchased means that less kerosene oil is being burned and fewer carbon emissions are polluting the atmosphere. D.light is proud to be a leader in providing quality products for off-grid families and in doing our part to combat global warming."
UNFCCC approval is only given to applicants who meet a set of strict requirements, including definitively proving that the project contributes to carbon reductions and
developing a scientifically reliable monitoring and tracking system. A majority of previous solar projects approved by the UNFCCC have primarily consisted of solar farms or other fixed, large-scale solar PV (photovoltaic) systems, which makes tracking carbon offsets fairly simple.
In contrast, D.light solar lanterns are individually utilized by hundreds of thousands of different households who regularly transport the lanterns between the home, workplace and field. As part of meeting UNFCCC requirements, D.light is pioneering an innovative monitoring and tracking system that will change the way carbon offsets are measured. The streamlined monitoring process will allow D.light to scale the project quickly across diverse distribution channels and geographic regions.
True to its social mission, D.light considers the carbon offset project as a creative strategy to make its solar-powered lanterns more affordable and accessible for customers around the world. All revenue from the resulting carbon credits will directly support D.light's efforts to scale and meet the global need for solar-powered lighting for families who are currently relying on dim and polluting kerosene lanterns.
This impact should grow exponentially in the coming years. Even as implementation in Uttar Pradesh and Bihar begins, D.light is already taking steps to expand the project to other countries across multiple continents in the near future.
About D.light Design
D.light Design is an international consumer products company providing high quality solutions for people without access to reliable electricity. Our mission is to enable
households without reliable electricity to attain the same quality of life as those with electricity. We will begin by replacing every kerosene lantern with clean, safe and bright light. By 2020, we aim to have improved the lives of 100 million individuals.
D.light was recently awarded the Social Venture Network's 2009 Innovation Award, and named as one of the world's top 100 clean technology enterprises by the CleanTech Group. It has also been featured in Fortune Magazine, Time Magazine, BusinessWeek, and the New York Times. It is financed by prestigious venture capital firms including Nexus Venture Partners, Draper Fisher Jurvetson, Garage Technology Ventures, the Mahindra Group; with investment from leading social enterprise funds Acumen Fund and Gray Matters Capital.

A self-labeled "Army Mom" will soon found out that her helicopter parenting should have ended when her son joined the military. Mad that her son didn't have a combat patch, she decided to get advice about what she could do so that her son didn't feel left out. That might have been a good idea when she was dealing with a kindergarten teacher, but it's a terrible idea when dealing with the United States Army.
When she got angry with the soldier she was texting for help, the soldier decided to get revenge by giving her the worst possible advice imaginable. Let's just say that her son will not hear the end of this for a long, long time.

Dr. Hayden was born in El Paso, Texas, and as the son of a career Army family had 19 different addresses before the age of 21, living in Texas, Oklahoma, North Carolina, Arizona, and Germany prior to his parents' retirement to California. He graduated with honors from Pasadena High School where he was a high school All-American in swimming and water polo and ranked in the top 25 in the world in middle distance freestyle and individual medley events. At Princeton University, he majored in geology and was the co-captain of the swimming team and a two-time NCAA Division I All-American, winning eight individual Eastern Seaboard titles in four years.
Following a career in the United States Navy that took them all over the world, Dr. Hayden and his wife, Eileen, chose Manhattan, Kansas as home to raise their four children, Zane, Hanna, Xavier and Blaise. It's a wonderful community to be part of, and they're glad to be in Manhappiness and the Flint Hills of Kansas!
Dr. Hayden has an ongoing passion for dentistry and the specialty of orthodontics. Excellence in treatment, esthetics and function in a caring environment is his goal, and he personally sees and treats each patient with the help of an outstanding and friendly staff. After graduating from Princeton University, he received his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from the School of Dental Medicine at Case Western Reserve University. Dr. Hayden received his post-doctoral Specialty Certificate in Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics at the U.S. Army Orthodontic Residency Program at Fort Meade, Maryland while on active duty in the United States Navy Dental Corps. He is Board Certified by the American Board of Orthodontics and is a Diplomate of that professional organization, a distinction fewer than 30% of orthodontists attain. He is continually reviewing evidenced-based literature and incorporating the newest technology and equipment into his practice to maintain the highest quality of care. As a Special Consultant in Orthodontics to the American Academy of Dental Sciences, Dr. Hayden is committed to lifelong learning and has accumulated over 2,500 hours of continuing education since his graduation from dental school.
Prior to becoming an orthodontist, Dr. Hayden received his first post-doctoral Specialty Certificate in Comprehensive Dentistry where he finished first in his class and became a Fellow in the Academy of General Dentistry. His extensive clinical experience with restorative techniques, crowns and bridges, root canals, TMJ therapy, gum surgery, and the extraction of wisdom teeth allows him to communicate effectively with referring dentists for more comprehensive and coordinated treatment plans.
Dr. Hayden maintains membership in the following professional organizations:
His community involvement includes:
Dr. Hayden is an experienced dentist who has provided quality dental care to numerous beneficiaries world-wide during his time serving in the United States Navy. Virginia, Maine, New Hampshire, California, New Zealand, Antarctica, Maryland, Japan and Spain are some of the interesting places he has lived and practiced dentistry and orthodontics. During his final tour in the military, he was the Specialty Leader for Navy Orthodontists and Special Consultant to the Surgeon General of the Navy. Dr. Hayden also served as the Program Director for the Tri-Service Orthodontic Residency at Wilford Hall Medical Center, Lackland AFB in San Antonio, Texas, where he developed and was responsible for the education and professional training of 26 residents who have become outstanding orthodontists.

Our Fellowships
What are Fellowships?
For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.
—Matthew 18:20 (ESV)
Important: As we shelter-in-place, Fellowships are not meeting in person. However, most groups are meeting online. Please ask your the group sponsor or leaders for details.
Fellowships are groups of people who gather to encourage each other in their Christian walks. These groups create opportunities for people to get to know each other more deeply in a more intimate setting than our all-church events and services.
Some groups (such as most of our youth groups) are for specific ages, while others are more geographically based and open to people for all life stages. Still others are for a specific demographic (e.g., sisterCARE is for women).
You'll see a sampling of our fellowships on the left side of this page. Don't see a group right for you? Consider starting one: the church will provide you all the tools you need to host your own group.
Our fellowship groups typically meet once a week, either at church (such as most of the youth groups) or at members' homes. The youth groups have adult sponsors as well as young leaders.
What happens during a meeting, how often they happen, and who comes to a fellowship varies widely from group to group. But our desire for each group is to give each church member (or guest) the opportunity to get to know each other deeply, serve each selflessly, and encourage each other in our Christian walks. They are a crucial part of how the church achieves its purpose.
Not sure which group to join or how you should serve? Just ask any of the greeters or find one of the pastors. They would be thrilled to guide you to the right one.

There was plenty of star power in this week's collection of best commercials, and it was mostly put to comic use.
Ricky Gervais, Johnny Manziel and Jean-Claude Van Damme also turned in amusing performances, even if it wasn't quite clear whether the latter was really in on the joke. And we even had a celebrity director handle one big fall TV campaign.
Also this week, we had one hell of a product demo from a Bissell brand manager, who went way beyond the call of duty while scrubbing the floor of a Toronto subway.
Check out our picks below, and vote for your favorite. And let us know in comments if we missed any ads this week that were particularly amazing.

..of riding. We all know that the more we ride aside out in public, at shows or just a fun hack and the more we share how much fun it is with as many people as we can, the more people will become interested in doing it themselves! After all, how many of us are riding sidesaddle because we saw another doing it? I know that is why I started!
We also all know that when one celebrity does something, tons of people follow.. so with that said, who would you choose to take up riding aside. It can be someone living or dead, young or old and celebrity in any form.
My choice would be Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy.
Although she was a beautiful equestrienne, I truly believe if she favored sidesaddle, it would have NEVER gone out of style and be included in every single breed show!
Who would you chose?

Linda Sánchez Statement on 2018 Social Security COLA Increase
Washington, D.C. – U.S. Representative Linda Sánchez (CA-38), Vice Chair of the House Democratic Caucus and a member of the Social Security Subcommittee, released the following statement on news that beneficiaries will receive a 2 percent increase in Social Security benefits in 2018:
"This year's 2 percent COLA increase in Social Security benefits is welcome news to nearly 59 million Americans. As our economy continues to improve, the rising cost of groceries, gas, and other goods has squeezed beneficiaries' pocketbooks even tighter. Social Security provides vital economic security to older Americans and those living with disabilities, allowing them to live a life of dignity.
"While this COLA increase helps, I believe that Social Security needs to adopt a more accurate formula that will better keep pace with the increasing costs of prescription drugs, housing, and other necessities. I will continue to push for legislation that increases this earned benefit for current Social Security beneficiaries while also making the program stronger for future generations."
Congresswoman Linda Sánchez is the author of the Strengthening Social Security Act of 2016 which increase benefits, ensures the Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA) adequately reflects the cost of living, and improve the financial condition of the Trust Fund.

Our bodies are amazing things that contain internal mechanisms to keep us safe, alive, and well.
Physical and emotional traumas you may have experienced can affect your mental health and well-being.

Codependency is a psychological condition that involves a person being emotionally and psychologically dependent on another person.

Sex addiction is identified separately from substance use disorder and we will focus on the area alone, although it can be connected and induced by illicit substances.
Gambling Addiction
Casinos and anyone in the gambling industry entice you to become engaged with gambling because they make money.
Body Image Disorder
In addiction treatment, body image disorders are one of many complications we see.
Mood, Grief/Loss, and Anger Management
Experiencing emotion is human, but the way in which we act on these emotions and how we choose to process them is up to us.

|do not, i repeat, DO NOT give your dog a bone this big and think everything is going to be alright.
Cheeseburgers are always delicious! I watched Game of Thrones for a while but am a couple of seasons behind- need to get on that!
Yes I have done the dog bone thing…You think you are being a nice Mama and the next thing you know…doggie puke noises at 3am. Also GAME OF THRONES FOREVER. Seriously this 10 episodes a year thing is ridiculous.
LOVE cheeseburgers. we make ours at home and i dress that baby up and then wolf it down. YUM.
thanks for linking up!
Vodka and Soda
You know my love for cheeseburgers. I will grab a cheeseburger with you any day!
Yay for linking up for confessions! I love reading everyone's dirty little secrets. (Trying saying that and not singing the song.)
That ecard is perfect!
I can not leave Gracie alone with rawhide. The crazy girl tries to shove the whole thing in her mouth and swallows huge pieces at a time. I had to rush her to the emergency vet more than once because of this. Grrrr.
Game of Thrones is on our list of shows to try. Right now we are bingeing on The Mindy Project and The Good Wife.
I love looking a wedding photos but I do it only secretly since I'm not in a relationship and I'm paranoid it'll jinx me in some way.
I am starting season 3 today for GOT and I am hooked!!!
As for Pinterest, my brother just got engaged and I have become obsessed with looking up Wedding stuff!
LOL!! That last pic is epic!!

Cancer of the penis, which is relatively common in many parts of the world, is rare in the United States, possibly due to Americans' careful personal hygiene and the widespread practice of male circumcision. The American Cancer Society estimates that about 1,200 new cases of penile cancer will be diagnosed in the United States this year, occurring in about 1 man out of 100,000.
The penis has several types of tissue that contain cells that can develop cancer. The majority of penile cancers develop from skin cells called squamous cells - a nonmelanoma form of skin cancer. When detected early, this type of cancer can be cured. While squamous cell cancers can develop anywhere on the penis, most appear on the foreskin in men who have not been circumcised or on the glans - the head of the penis. Verrucous carcinoma is an uncommon form of squamous cell cancer that can develop on male or female genitals. While it can spread into surrounding tissues, it rarely metastasizes. Adenocarcinoma is a very rare type of penile cancer developing in the sweat glands in the skin of the penis but it can spread to the lymph nodes.

A leather jacket never goes out of style no, it will always be trendy in addition can be worn in any season.
The beginnings of the clothing items are lost in the mists of time, some say it is a reinterpretation of leather clothes made for pilots during the Second World War. Others say that leather jacket was popularized by the Bolsheviks during the Russian Civil War of the early 1900s.
This type of jacket can be matched with a variety of other clothing items. I'll mention a few that I personally seem more interesting.
#Leather jacket and blue jeans
Like the leather jacket this combination never fails.
#Leather jacket and dress
If you're a nonconformist woman then surely you will be delighted by this combination. It is astonishing and surely will attract many eyes. And of course you have an easy and interesting look.
#Leather jacket and casual shirt
If you are a sports yarn and especially practice you will like this assortment.
In general, the leather jacket is associated with rebel personalities and styles of dress-code free without strict. Leather Jacket is certainly always in trend, as critics like to say a piece of clothing fashion icon.
The big news this season, he stunned the fashion loving public is sleeveless leather jacket.
It is a trendy piece of clothing autumn and next spring, at which suits a pair of blue jeans.
Leather jacket is a classic piece of clothing that reinvents itself every season. Another novelty is colored leather jacket, another gimmick that seems to be really good.
Easy to wear and to match a leather jacket is necessary in any fashion addict wardrobe. Whether you prefer a classic or want to add classical model that you already have at home a colored leather jacket can not fail. Opt for a black one for proper impact or colorful accents for a playful and fresh look.

Russell A. Worrell (a Native New Yorker, Jamaica Queens), was born February 22nd. At age 11, his mom enrolled him at The Long Island Institute of Music, where he studied under Mitchell Cohen, a great jazz drummer in his own right. As a youngster, Russell co-formed & played with "Me & My Friends", which was one of the popular bands out of the Jamaica Queens area. It was with this experience that he was surprisingly introduced to his own singing voice. As the son of legend drummer Bernard "Pretty" Purdie, Russell also spent those early years, along with his mom & sisters touring with King Curtis & Aretha Franklin & even sitting in at the Filmore West show in Detroit at the age of 14.
Russell became a
studio rat, hanging out with (Dad) Purdie at the various studio
sessions:{Donny Hathaway, Roberta Flack, Aretha, Grady Tate, Steely Dan,
Etc.}, while listening, learning & absorbing the approach to the
drumkit, as it applies to groove, technique, keeping time, & playing
with dynamics. His first professional gig came at the age of 15. Since
then, Russell has applied his style of groove drumming in studio and
live situations for over 30 years.
Influences: Clyde Stubblefield, Bernard Purdie (Dad), Harvey Mason,
David Garibaldi, John "JR" Robinson, Steve Gadd, Steve Ferrone, Steve
Jordan, Jeff Porcaro (R.I.P.), Tony Williams (R.I.P.), Lenny White, Bill
Cobham, Paul Wertico & Antonio Sanchez. http://russellaworrell.blogspot.com/

Once one is caught up into the material world not one person in ten thousand finds the time to form literary taste, to examine the validity of philosophic concepts for himself, or to form what, for lack of a better phrase, I might call the wise and tragic sense of life. By this I mean the thing that lies behind all great careers, from Shakespeare's to Abraham Lincoln's, and as far back as there are books to read — the sense that life is essentially a cheat and its conditions are those of defeat, and that the redeeming things are not "happiness and pleasure" but the deeper satisfactions that come out of struggle. I think that the faces of most Americans over thirty are relief maps of petulant, bewildered unhappiness.
–F. Scott Fitzgerald, born on this day in 1896; the comments are excerpted from a letter he wrote to his daughter, Scottie, ten weeks before his death in 1940

How to stay consistent with exercise? How regularly do you exercise? Maybe not many people can answer this question conclusively. Density of daily activities often becomes reasons. Whereas, the consistency in the exercise is very important. Exercises must be routine and consistent. Don't be this week, next week, three times the week before him not at all. Don't do this week once, next week three times, not the next week.
When exercise is done consistently and continuously, the body's ability will increase. So that the more days, the training burden faced can be heavier. When we do weight lifting, the more we practice, the load weights that can be lifted more heavier. If it's not consistent, will affect the ability of our breath and our body feels heavy.
The types of exercises that we were chosen not to be a problem. We can even mix various types of exercises in a week. For example, today is cardio, tomorrow is basketball, the next day is swimming, it doesn't matter because each has benefits.
How to stay consistent with exercise?
How to stay consistent with exercise? Here's a few tricks that can be done.
- Short exercise
One of the things that make us difficult to consistently keep the exercise schedule is because believes that the exercise needs to be done for 1 hour or more. In fact, the sport does not need to be too long. For high intensity exercise (HIIT), for example, is actually only done 10-15 minutes. This time, enough to keep the body in shape. The most important thing is to maintain the short duration of exercise is running efficiently.
- Starting from small things.
When making a commitment, start from small things. For example, exercise twice a week. If feel comfortable with such a routine, try to equip it with a menu of healthy food and reducing the intake of unhealthy foods. Such as stop consuming soda and reduce sugar intake. Small steps will take you to long term success.
- Committed for 30 days.
Another way to maintain consistency of the exercise is to start with a 30-day commitment. Please select the days you want to exercise. Instill in yourselves to the strict schedule for 30 days. Remember, do not tolerate yourselves with certain reasons that make the consistency of your exercise disturbed. In the last days of the commitment, you will feel your body stronger and more excitement. In addition, your narrow clothes also might be used again.
At that point, chances are you also do not want to stop exercising. If it reaches that point, the sign you successfully build a routine exercise.
Read also: Choosing the Best Weight Loss and Exercise Program for You.
- Make it as a ritual.
When exercise becomes your daily ritual, then you will do it automatically and that habit will be embedded in the mind. Mind and body also will consider it a necessity. Just like the habit of brushing your teeth and wash your face before going to bed. Because, while not familiar with the exercise routine, you tend to still tolerate the reason for routine exercise, such as tired, sick, busy, and more. You can get started by including exercise into the daily routine. For example, a short exercise between breakfast times.
- Schedule.
If it is still difficult to build consistency in exercise, another trick is to make the schedules for exercises. This should arise naturally when you have scheduled yourselves to other activities. So, if you want to exercise three times a week, but difficult to comply because the daily busyness, try looking at the calendar or any other medium you use to record the schedules. Allocate time for absolute and non-negotiable exercise. This habit will tend to make you comply and making exercise as one of living habits.
Thank you very much for reading How to stay consistent with exercise, hopefully useful.

There's enormous pressure over the holidays to feel warmth, affection and joy. A great deal of bitterness can result if you don't... as if there's something wrong with you. I'm here to tell you that's okay.
Not the bitterness. Bitterness stinks. I'm saying it's okay to feel something other than warmth, affection or joy on December 25th if you're so inclined. People feel all sorts of things around the holidays, for any number of reasons. It can be an exceptionally hard day for us.
It is okay if you feel this way. You are far from alone. Whatever you're feeling. Just let it flow.
For my own self, I'll be spending the day with my oldest friend, reflecting on the best year to date in my freelancing career. (Being a workaholic has its perks.) Focusing on gratitude is an essential tool for me. Dwelling on negatives, comparisons and contrasts can make for a miserable holiday.
So take heart. People understand what you're going through. They want to understand. 2017 has largely been a steaming garbage parade, but we're going into 2018 together.
You got this.

Food Styling Schools in California?

"Budding chefs find low pay, little glamour
By Kim Curtis
Associated Press
SAN FRANCISCO -- Cameron Cuisinier's dreams of a catering career led him to culinary school. Now he's unemployed and $43,000 in debt, and he's not alone.
From TV chefs to reality shows where the winners get their own restaurants, it's a hot time to be in the kitchen. Record numbers of would-be chefs are enrolling in culinary schools, some of which charge $20,000 a year or more. But the restaurant business has always been a tough way to make a living, and many graduates find themselves saddled with debt and working long hours at low-paying, entry-level jobs.
"When they're trying to get you enrolled in these programs, they tell you you're going to come out making top dollar," said Cuisinier, a recent graduate of the California Culinary Academy in San Francisco. "I've just been way disappointed."
Industry observers say celebrity chefs like Rachael Ray and Emeril Lagasse (with his trademark exclamation, "Bam!") helped launch the craze. The rising popularity of cable TV's The Food Network and reality shows like "Top Chef" and "Hell's Kitchen" are fueling it.
"It looks really fun on TV," said Tim Ryan, president of the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, N.Y., one of the country's premier training grounds for chefs. "You've got an audience adoring you. You say, 'Bam!' and throw some stuff on a plate and everyone goes nuts.
"That's not what happens," he said. "The work is long and hard. There's a lot of pressure."
In 1996, there were 269 career cooking schools and 154 recreational cooking schools in the United States, according to ShawGuide's "The Guide to Cooking Schools." By 2006, those numbers had risen to 446 and 503, respectively.
Attendance also is rising. At the Culinary Institute of America, 2,757 students were enrolled last year in a full-time, degree-seeking program. That's up from 2,012 in 2001, Ryan said.
The number of food service jobs in America rose from 9.9 million in 2001 to 10.8 million in 2005, according to the U.S. Department of Labor. But a small fraction of those jobs (roughly 115,000) are for chefs or head cooks, and that number did not change significantly during the five-year span.
The vast majority of food service jobs are held by fast-food workers and wait staff, and the industry's average hourly wage was $7.73 in 2005, according to the Labor Department statistics.
"Hell's Kitchen," featuring the rantings of celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay, introduces viewers to some of the stresses of restaurant work. Not so the sunny ramblings of Food Network host Ray, or Lagasse, whose show features a live band and studio audience who enthusiastically cheer his every move.
The Food Network now reaches 87 million homes and is watched by half a million people per day. And these aren't your mother's cooking shows. Television chefs, from Bobby Flay to Giada De Laurentiis to Anthony Bourdain, are hip, young and attractive -- bona fide celebrities.
While the increased visibility is a boon to the industry, Ryan is careful to intercept prospective students who seem more interested in hosting a TV show or writing a cookbook than running a restaurant.
"We spend a lot of time before we admit students to make sure they understand the realities of the industry and don't come in all starry-eyed with unrealistic expectations," Ryan said.
Sociologist Krishnendu Ray says the elevated profile of the culinary arts has made cooking careers seem more glamorous than they really are. "It's becoming rarer to cook amongst young, urban professionals," he said. "We're watching TV and reading books about beautiful food."
Creating beautiful food was part of the attraction for Heather West, a 26-year-old New York native who recently won the second season of "Hell's Kitchen" on the Fox network. When her mother got breast cancer a few years ago, she started cooking for her mother and creating her own recipes.
"If you like free time and if you like holidays with your families and time with your friends and ... you like your feet not hurting, this is the wrong business for you," said West, who's now senior chef at Terra Rossa, an Italian restaurant at the Red Rock Casino Resort and Spa in Las Vegas. "When you see that plate go out and you see that person smile when they eat your food, it's totally worth it."
But few culinary school graduates find themselves in West's enviable position. It's increasingly likely they'll end up like Cuisinier, who recently got his $857 monthly loan payment deferred because he's unemployed.
Ida Eng, 28, wanted to design wedding cakes and spent two years training at California Culinary Academy. She worked at two of San Francisco's top restaurants during school but couldn't find a job after graduation that paid enough for her to stay in her adopted hometown. Now she works as a cocktail waitress and isn't even sure she wants a kitchen job anymore.
"They work people to death," she said.
Officials at California Culinary Academy didn't return calls for comment.
Michael Ruhlman, who attended the Culinary Institute of America in 1996 and wrote about the experience in the book "The Soul of the Chef," says the boom in culinary school enrollment is a byproduct of an increasing emphasis on the bottom line. Restaurants and chefs are finding new ways to make money, through cookbooks, live appearances and television, and that's raising the profile of the industry.
"It's become fashion, rather than art now," Ruhlman said. "It's become commerce."

text: Tesla Self-Driving Autopilot Unveiled 4:20 PM PDT 10/14/2015 by Michael Walker FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME Courtesy of Tesla Motors Tesla model s 70D - H 2015 The over-the-air software update will be uploaded to Tesla's Model S fleet in the U.S. starting tonight and will allow semi-autonomous driving in certain conditions. Tesla Motors CEO Elon Musk unwrapped the carmaker's Autopilot at a press conference Wednesday and predicted that the software, which will be remotely uploaded to Tesla's Model S fleet in the U.S. tonight, "will be quite a profound experience — I think it's going to change people's predictions about the future" of driving. Autopilot allows the Model S to drive itself on freeways, automatically change lanes and parallel park without intervention from the driver. It works by gathering information about nearby cars, lane position and other data from ultrasonic sensors, a forward-facing camera and radar, and GPS married to highly precise maps. Musk said that Autopilot will continuously improve as data gathered by the approximately 60,000 Tesla models currently equipped with the cameras and sensors are analyzed by Tesla's computers and fed back to the cars in future software updates. That feature, he said, distinguished Tesla's autonomous driving system from those in use or in development by Mercedes-Benz, Audi, BMW and other carmakers. "The whole Tesla fleet operates as a network — when one car learns something, the whole fleet learns it," Musk said. However, he did caution that the software's initial release is considered a beta version and that drivers need to be cautious. "We're advising drivers to keep their hands on the wheel," Musk said. "You need to be ready to take the wheel at any time." Musk predicted that in three years, Tesla will have perfected a system that will allow fully autonomous driving. "The car will be able to take you from your driveway to work without touching anything — you could sleep the whole time very safely," he said, but added that getting the necessary regulatory approval would take several more years. Tesla will charge Model S owners a one-time $2,500 fee to activate Autopilot's autonomous-driving features. The software also will be available on Tesla's Model X SUV, introduced in September.

On December 11-14, 2017, APBIPA Bali provided a short Indonesian language course to two students of Wesley College, Perth. The course was conducted at Bali Club Med in the Nusa Dua Resort Area, a 35-minute drive from Denpasar. During my very first hour of the session with the students (Michael and Sam) I already had two concluding points for them and their Bahasa Indonesia level.
1) Each of them already had a good foundation of the language training in relation to their current grade. This also implied that they had been very well taught by a professional teacher back in Perth. Through our conversation in Bahasa Indonesia, I tried to check (especially with Michael) on a number of Indonesian linguistic concepts and the result was FANTASTIC. I should pay my full respect to Ibu Laura Wimsett, their teacher (and or the teacher before her), who has also been an old friend of APBIPA Bali.
2) Both students had a very strong commitment to their learning as they always did every activity through the hour. They asked me with excellent questions about Bahasa Indonesia and Indonesia. From the first meeting I always assigned them an after class project making them communicate in Bahasa Indonesia with the Club Med staff members or Indonesian people they met during their outdoor activities.
Following the short course, I am happy to share a note from Mrs Denise Buchanan, the students' mother, who specially wrote to us about the students' opinions on the course. This is what she wrote:
"In December 2017 two of my sons and I visited Bali. On the recommendation of the Indonesian Teacher from their school, we arranged with Mr Nyoman Riasa from APBIPA Bali for the boys to have individual Indonesian lessons daily.
Mr Riasa offered us the option of lessons at the APBIPA Bali premises or at our hotel. To keep things relaxed for us, we opted for Mr Riasa to work with the boys at our Hotel in Nusa Dua. Sam (13) and Michael (14) have been learning Indonesian at their school in Perth, Western Australia for several years and hope to continue to year twelve. Mr Riasa tailored the lessons to meet each boys' current level of ability. Both boys felt Mr Riasa was an exceptional teacher, and this was evident in the way they were so keen to attend the lessons daily and practice what they had been taught. Once the staff at our hotel realised the boys were learning Indonesian they encouraged them, and were eager to help answer the questions in the worksheets the boys were given each day.
The hotel had many varied activities for the boys, but when I asked my sons what the highlight of the trip had been for them, they both agreed that it was the Indonesian lessons. It gave them an appreciation of why learning a language is so valuable and it built a stronger connection to the Balinese people.
If you are interested in learning or furthering your understanding of the Indonesian language, we cannot recommend Mr Riasa and his team at APBIPA Bali too highly. He is quite outstanding".

Mansfield Park Parent Guide
Parent Movie Review
Sir Thomas Bertram (Harold Pinter) is not pleased when his sister-in-law graciously volunteers his family to care for their impoverished ten-year-old niece, Fanny Price. With business affairs to attend to, an opium addicted wife (Lindsay Duncan), and four children of his own, Sir Thomas has little time or affection for Fanny. Only Edmund (Jonny Lee Miller), one of his two sons, befriends her. By listening to her many letters, stories, and secret journal entries, Edmund provides a refuge from Fanny's uncomfortable situation.
Now a young woman, Fanny has grown very fond of Edmund. But Edmund is eyeing someone else—their new neighbor, Mary Crawford (Embeth Davidtz). Meanwhile Mary's brother Henry (Alessandro Nivola) is receiving a lot of attention from one of Edmund's sisters, but he is desperately falling for Fanny.
Often requiring a roadmap to figure out who is related to and in love with whom, this movie (loosely based on Jane Austen's novel by the same name) is not recommended for the plot-impaired viewer. Yet this is typical of her stories that involve a lot of gossip shared over tea sipping in countless drawing rooms, while Austen examines the moral decay of some of 19th century England's wealthy upper crust.
Unlike many of the recent film adaptations of this author, Mansfield Park includes a major subplot involving Sir Thomas's justification for raping black slave women. (The original book has only a one-word mention of the "slave-trade.") Later a sketchbook is discovered where we see Sir Thomas's escapades graphically portrayed.
And speaking of graphic portrayals, when a young couple is discovered having a sexual relationship, a scene with female nudity reveals far more than any other PG-13 movie I can recall. Likely the lack of any profanities or violence (other than the slave sketches) is what prevented this scene from getting this movie an R-rating.
With these content considerations and the fact that this film is not an accurate reflection of the book, parents may want to look for the original story as an alternative way to visit Mansfield Park.
Starring Harold Pinter, Frances O'Connor. Running time: 112 minutes. Theatrical release November 19, 1999. Updated April 30, 2009
Mansfield Park Parents' Guide
While this film adaptation depicts characters with low moral standards (in a more graphic manner than Jane Austen would have used), which characters win in the end? Are characters with high sexual values typically seen as the heroes of movies and literature written today?

Just caught news on the Today Show (in between some Eliot Spitzer segment and another, less interesting but more sensational Eliot Spitzer segment) of the iPod Nano batteries causing sparks to shoot out of units marked with model number MA099J/A (pictured right).
Apparently the problem was found back in January but wasn't reported by Apple to the Japanese trade and economy ministry until recently.
According to the Associated Press,
Japan is investigating a possible defect in Apple Inc.'s iPod after one of the popular digital music players reportedly shot out sparks while recharging, a government official said Wednesday…
The problem surfaced in January in Kanagawa Prefecture southwest of Tokyo, and Apple reported the problem to the ministry in March. No one was injured, the official said. Other details weren't available.
The model of Nano in question shipped starting in September of 2005 and was discontinued in September of 2006.

Stonehenge is a huge megalithic monument situated on Salisbury Plain, Mid-Wiltshire, England. The ruins of Stonehenge contain stones from three stages of building. These stages took place over a period of roughly 1600 years from 3100 BC to 1500 BC (Chippindale, 1983:271). Stonehenge has been severely damaged by things as different as tourists to weather. What it is today is quite different from what scientists suggest it may have looked like when it was finished (Fig1 and Fig2). Since Stonehenge was built long before recorded history it has brought forth great suspicion and curiosity. Who built Stonehenge and why was it built? These two questions have been argued for hundreds of years since Stonehenge was rediscovered from a three thousand year rest after its abandonment. Numerous theories have arisen over who built Stonehenge including the Druids and Merlin, and about what it was built for such as a calendar, an observatory and a ritual burial ground.
My theory, however, is that Stonehenge was built by Early Britons for religious purposes.
Some of the theories about why Stonehenge was built are not supported by substantial evidence. However, even theories about Stonehenge that have been proven false, still flourish (Chippindale, 1983; 263). The suggestion that Stonehenge was built as a burial ground is clearly questionable. Although there are many burials around the site of Stonehenge, this is because Stonehenge started as a burial site, but from stage two onwards its purpose was changed (Merkur, 1990:24). Similarly there is also no evidence to support the theory that it was used for sacrificial purposes (Anon, 2001;np). This is clear since the altar stone on to which this theory is based shows no traces of blood stains or marks from sacrificial knifes. The theory Stonehenge was built as a calendar or an observatory...
