May 20 (Reuters) - Canada's main stock index was set to open higher on Friday ahead of inflation and retail sales data.
The annual inflation rate is expected to have risen to 1.7 percent in April, bringing it closer to the Bank of Canada's 2 percent target. Core inflation, which strips out some volatile items, is expected to be more robust at 2.0 percent.
Canada retail sales for March are estimated to have dropped by 0.6 percent after rising for the past two months in a row.
Inflation and retail sales data are due at 8:30 a.m. ET .
June futures on the S&P TSX index were up 0.36 percent at 7:30 a.m. ET.
The Toronto Stock Exchange's S&P/TSX composite index pared losses after hitting a one-week low earlier on Thursday as the materials group rose more than 2 percent, offsetting declines in the financial and industrial stocks.
Dow Jones Industrial Average e-mini futures were up 0.22 percent at 7:30 a.m. ET, while S&P 500 e-mini futures were up 0.20 percent and Nasdaq 100 e-mini futures were up 0.31 percent.

Share the post "Album review: TONY PATTERSON – Equations Of Meaning"
Esoteric Antenna [Release Date: 26.02.16]
It must be very difficult if your day job is vocalist for a Genesis tribute band to sound like anything other than said progressive rock Gods.
But is this necessarily a bad thing?
There is no prospect (at the time of writing) of a Genesis reunion, no prospect of any new material and surely the well has run dry of long-lost out-takes and demos?
So the opportunity to wallow in the nostalgia of the '70's whilst listening to a wonderful, contemporary progressive rock masterpiece is a pleasure surely not to be denied.
Tony Patterson is the vocalist (and flautist) of the pre-eminent Genesis tribute band ReGenesis, who specialise in Gabriel-era album re-creation, so he knows his way around the intricacies of the genre.
Odd then that much of 'Equations Of Meaning' has the vibe, to these ears anyway, of 'A Trick Of The Tail' or 'Wind And Wuthering' – albeit with Gabriel's vocal stylings.
And this is what makes 'Equations Of Meaning' so fascinating – if Gabriel had stayed with Genesis but taken a back seat on the songwriting front – would this have been the result?
Pure conjecture I know, and irrelevant really as this is an album that stands on its own two feet – but still, food for thought…
The eleven tracks get underway with the instrumental 'Ghosts' – its chiming arpeggios and Hackettesque flute fully evocative of the sleeve image.
Follow-up track 'The Magdalene Fields' utilises a very similar guitar arpeggio and has a real 'Entangled / Ripples' nuance – it also features the first appearance of the recurring use of mournful brass fills (in this case sax, but also horn on a few tracks) – which add splendidly to the overall ambience.
Highlights appear with predictable regularity; the drifting melancholia of 'Cast Away', the church-like vocal stylings and flanged guitar of the instrumental 'The Angel And The Dreamer', the psych vibe and forlorn horn coda of 'Beneath A Perfect Sky' and the almost James Bond-alike orchestration of 'Sycophant' all play their part in an irresistible collection of songs.
Bearing in mind that Patterson is a vocalist, it's to his credit that the lyrics do not dominate proceedings but act only as a message for the brilliance of the music – no Meatloaf here…
The album terminates with 'The Kindest Eyes' – a song which in lesser hands could have you reaching for the sick bucket, but actually comes across as one of the finest love songs you've ever heard.
Patterson's grounding in the fine arts of progressive rock (let's face it, if you're in a tribute band you'd damn well better sound like them) stands him in good stead here and, together with a coterie of stellar musicians, has helped him not only to produce an exceptional album of melodic progressive rock but also helped nail the lie that tribute band members can only be mere copyists.
Great stuff. *****

Haydale (AIM: HAYD), the group focused on the commercialisation of graphene and other nano particle products using their proprietary plasma process is pleased to announce its composites division, Haydale Composite Solutions Ltd ("HCS"), has entered into a collaborative 18 month research project awarded and managed by the National Aerospace Technology Exploitation Programme ("NATEP"). The project involves two end users; Airbus UK and BAE Systems Plc. Collaborating in the project are Cobham Plc (lightning strike advice and testing), SHD Composites Ltd (carbon fibre reinforced epoxy resin pre-impregnated fabric supplier) and HCS (supplier of functionalised graphene enhanced epoxy resins). NATEP are providing a grant of up to £150,000 towards the £300,000 cost of the research project, of which HCS will receive up to £100,000.
Carbon fibre composites are used extensively in aircraft applications such as fuselages, leading edges and wing surfaces. However, because the carbon fibre reinforced epoxy composite materials are poor conductors of electricity they are prone to damage from lightning strike. This has led to aircraft companies incorporating copper or aluminium meshes into the composite materials which add significant weight and cost.
The electrical conductivity of graphene enhanced composites has already been established. The aim of this project is therefore to develop highly electrically conductive epoxy resins through the addition of functionalised graphene which, when combined with conductive carbon fibre, is expected to result in a highly conductive carbon fibre reinforced epoxy composite material capable of withstanding lightning strike in its own right. The development of such a material would result in safer aircraft, weight and cost savings from the elimination of the expensive metallic meshes as well as eliminating time associated with integrating the meshes into the structure.

Ephesians 4:30 And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.
We are told not to grieve the Holy Spirit of God. What grieves the Holy Spirit ? Is it sin?
This verse ties directly to the preceding verse. It says don't speak corrupt / foul / putrefied things. What is putrefied speech? It is what does not minister grace to the hearers. Grace is the undeserved and unmerited favor of God. So corrupt talk is the opposite of grace. It refers to condemnation for failures and sins. Instead of receiving undeserved favor it is the focus on self effort in order to be righteous and to deserve or to earn God's favor.
Eph 4:29 Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.
Receive the undeserved favor of God today.

The moderate climate and majestic western landscapes of New Mexico make it an enchanting locale for the motion picture industry. New Mexico Filmmaking got it's start when Thomas A. Edison's crew shot the very first film in the state at the Isleta Indian Pueblo in 1897. Silent-era icons like directors Romaine Fielding and Tom Mix shortly followed to take over the small town of Las Vegas, setting the stage for an explosion of western movies.
Today, New Mexico's generous incentive programs and quality facilities make it one of the top filming destinations in the country, attracting big projects like the Academy Award–winning No Country for Old Men and AMC's critically acclaimed television series Breaking Bad. In this comprehensive volume, author and film historian Jeff Berg explores the history and legacy of New Mexico on the big screen.
New Mexico Filmmaking by New Mexico author, Jeff Berg, was released last Fall. Here are some highlights:
- This is the first book written about the actual history of NM made movies, of which there are over 800.
- Until recently women, Latinos/Latinas, American Indians, and African Americans had few opportunities in NM movies.
- A number of other films were discovered during research that were not listed in the state film office filmography list, like long forgotten flicks Date with Death and Naked Youth.
When asked what he hopes to see in the next few years Jeff shares, "I'm hoping that potential projects start to see the Las Cruces/Southern NM area as a shooting locale, with the closing of the loophole (essentially it said that any equipment/personnel coming to shoot in NM had to fly into NM, thus negating Las Cruces since they would have to fly to El Paso, Texas) and that the state film office's location people would encourage work being done beyond the 'magic triangle'." He continues, "One of the best films ever made in NM, The Burning Plain, used LC as a principal shooting location. I hope film crews go beyond the traditional triangle that keeps them north of Belen and south of Taos."

This may be a dumb question, but how do you have a woodstove without a chimney?
Turbo Says:
December 13, 2009 at 2:47 am |
Oh, it's easy– you just go to the wood stove store and, somewhat on a lark, buy a stove. Then you have the store people drop it off at your house, and you put it in the living room, and you spend the next couple months trying to do the hard part: connecting it to the outdoors.

I saw a heat economizer on the side of the road, but couldn't think of anyone to send it to. Damn my eyes!One of these: http://www.amazon.com/Magic-Heat-Reclaimer-Wood-Stove/dp/B0000AXEXE

Oh! Thanks for thinking of us, Doug! Actually I don't think it would work with our planned set-up anyway– we're going to have the stovepipe going out the back of the stove and through the wall, so not much space for the economizer unit.I have seen these at others' houses, though, and have been pondering them. In theory it certainly seems like a good idea, especially if you have fabulous baseline draft in the chimney. If you don't, though, I wonder whether cooling the flue gases this way en route to the chimney would further reduce the draft, and also potentially increase creosote up the line? Any experience?

Progressive house legend, Guy J, delivered a full-throttle set at 303 in Liverpool. The Waveform Transmitter's Ste Knight was there to witness six hours of 'dizzy moments'.
303 are no strangers to delivering what are arguably Liverpool's most impressive parties. They seem to just get everything right. Venue, crowd, promoters, and, most importantly, the music.
Saturday March 4th was testament to this, as they brought Isreali DJ/Producer Guy J to the Williamson Tunnels for one of their, now legendary, All Night Long parties.
The Waveform Transmitter has attended several of these parties in the past, but this has to go down as our all-out favourite. From the off, Guy J was injecting energy into his set and that didn't seem to let up for the entirety of the six hours he played. Quite a feat considering the length of the set.
As soon as we arrived at the venue the place was bouncing. The thud-thud-thud of the kick drum emanated through the doors and we were greeted with a sellout crowd going balls to the wall as Guy treated all present to a set littered with classics.
Quite possibly the highlight of the set was his inclusion of The KLF's What Time is Love? The second those opening sirens hit the crowd we knew this was going to be a magical moment. It was. The entire place erupted and the atmosphere flexed as though time had literally folded in on itself, as the old-school classic thrummed down the tunnels and into our very beings. See for yourself!
There was plenty more sonic magic to be had. Guy didn't just stick to progressive for the six hours he treated us two. Techno, breakbeat, you name it; it entered the fray and contributed just as much to the excitement of the set as any other style our DJ touched upon. Throwing a few of this own productions in there put the progressive stamp on the mix, which include his classic Lost and Found.
By the time we hit 3am I think it is fair to say that our legs has well and truly been danced off. If a DJ makes you dance so hard the double-knots in your trainer laces have come undone, then he is doing something right. Guy J was a pleasure to watch and we can't wait for his return.
Next up 303 welcome their Guv'nor, Andy Weatherall, back to the Tunnels for their birthday in May. Keep up the good work, guys. Sterling stuff.

My writing, like my life, is all over the place; I've lived in a dozen locales, east and west, and while I have ranged from the mountains to the coast and back again, my writing has had love affairs with humor, philosophy, metaphysics, horror, relationships, nature studies and mystery genres. My recent submission, Eclipse – a metaphysical horror was published 7/7/11 by Amazon and I just completed the companion to my first published book, which appeared in the bookstores in 2003.
Ten Speed Press published my first book, The Contented Poacher. Poacher is a nature studies / humor / cookbook I wrote when I got a ticket for poaching, even though I: 1) had a valid license, 2) didn't have any illegally acquired pheasant, but 3) did have an empty canvas bag with me, and 4) I made a joke to the game warden. Bad form that, but the humor in the situation gave birth to a book that garnered enough attention to win me a write up in Backpacker Magazine, a small TV gig in NY for World News Now and a slot on the Jimmy Kimmel show. After that, I took a deep breath and hid out in the mountains of Colorado for five years. In the meantime, I went back to doing art shows, which is what I've been up to since I was seventeen.
My mother wanted an artist. When other kids were getting Big Chief tablets and crayons, my mother was buying me Arches paper and Windsor & Newton watercolors. I used to try her patience by bringing snakes, tarantulas and small animals into the house. She convinced me that she'd prefer to have me paint a picture of my new friends rather than meet them in person and to this end, she insisted that I sit and the table and paint for a couple of hours a day. Her full immersion technique worked. I've had other jobs here and there (garbage truck driver comes to mind), but for the most part I've been supporting myself with my art. I started writing when I realized that my eyesight was refusing to cooperate with my fondest dreams. As of this writing, I see quite clearly within a small circle about a foot across and little more than a foot in front of my face. The rest of the world floats in an enticing mist, pulling away into the distance.
I didn't begin writing until I was 39. Painting was that important to me, but like everybody else in this world, there were events in my life that kept erupting in the back of my mind. When I was 6 years old, my family took a trip east to visit friends in NY. One day when they were out and I was in the apartment alone, the woman upstairs was murdered. I could hear her fighting for her life as she died amidst a cacophony of shrieks and thumps. Needless to say, I hid under the furniture and tried to rock myself into a safety zone by conjuring up the comforting hills and turquoise skies of home. Trouble was, I could hear the murder's shoes on the ceiling as he tried to erase the evidence of his presence. At 39, I wrote "Men's Shoes" and tucked it away in a file drawer. Other short stories popped up here and there between paintings and art shows and I found that when I wasn't exorcising a personal terror, that I quite enjoyed writing as much as I ever loved to paint.
One thing that I have been gifted with in this life is an array of fascinating people and events, some for only a few minutes, others for years, but each one has caught my attention and found a home in my memories. I met the physicist, Steven Weinberg, in a music store. We discussed Chopin and he told me that classical music conjured up the voice of the cosmos in his head. Lovely. I made friends with a homeless man in Pittsburg who sang for loose change in Point State Park. He had a voice to make angels weep for jealousy. Weekends at Randall Garrett's. He always had a book to lend me by a new writer, never elevating his own accomplishments in the craft. An Inuit friend in Fairbanks, Aggeak Quakjuk, changed the course of my artwork by reminding me not to confuse the spirit with the fur. Mr. Tennyson, an aging immigrant, who taught me to read when I was 4. All the Navajo friends who laughed at my atrocious accent when I came down from my climb up Tsoodzil. The natural world: a maple tree in our yard in Cambridge that was so red it cast purple shadows; the green granite in Vermont that gave it the appellation "The Green Mts."; the ocean as seen from Hurricane Ridge on the Olympic Peninsula; the otters who came out the river in North Carolina splashing and laughing to one another; the hummingbird who landed on my hand and the cougar who regarded me from the trees less than 20 ft away; the fire that took down a good portion of our house but spared me and my son; the earthquake in Alaska that shook more than my bones.
All of these things and many more, along with the murderer upstairs, color my work, the words I paint for my readers.
Thanks. Elantu Baiat Veovode

His only original moves are his spinning attack similar to Hanzo Hattori's from the World Heroes series, and two different rapid-kicking moves, one of them similar to Robert Garcia's Genei Kyaku but with two feet instead of one, the other similar to Arnold's Dragon Kick from Sega-AM2's Burning Rival and Makoto Mizoguchi's RenZokuKeri from Data East's Fighter's History series. Named after Kim Jae Hoon, president of UnoTechnology and son of Viccom president and UnoTechnology founder Kim Kap-hwan. His model and last name were later used for Jhun Hoon in The King of Fighters series.
Japan Miyuki – The only female character in the game; possibly inspired by Mai Shiranui. She can summon tornadoes similar to Joe Higashi and Michael Max and has the ability to jump on the opponent and rapidly scratch.
Germany Rophen Heimer – A bald German martial artist who can throw fireballs and spin kick.
United States Magic Dunker – A basketball player who is possibly the one Lucky Glauber and Bobby Nelson were inspired by. His projectile attack is similar to Yuri Sakazaki's Raioh-Ken, but can slide on the ground like Terry Bogard's Power Wave.
Brazil Golrio – A fat islander warrior with the ability to throw fireballs and spin around quickly while rising at the opponent engulfed in flames.
People's Republic of China Chintao – A stereotypical "Shaolin Monk"-type character who can strike with his hair and do an unusual scissor kick.
United States Nick Commando – A large masked soldier who can throw grenades and charge at the foe. Said to be based on Guile, considering his stage and the overall "American soldier" gimmick, however, his fighting style is very different from Guile's, save for his sweep.
South Korea Master Taekuk – An old Taekwondo master who can stretch out his arms and slam the opponent. He is the first boss character and is only playable in two player mode.
Japan Karate Kenji – The final boss of the game. His look and moves are similar to Geese Howard's, but with two jumping versions of some of Geese Howard's moves. His stage is also similar to some of Geese Howard's stages from the Fatal Fury series. He was voiced by Masaki Usui, who also voiced Ryo Sakazaki from the Art of Fighting series and Haohmaru from the Samurai Shodown series.

But, facing it and doing something about it makes life easier for you and your loved ones.
A Power of Attorney is a document in which you appoint a family member or friend (known as attorneys) to manage your affairs if you are not able to do so. There are two main types of Powers of Attorney that we can prepare for you at The Law House. The first deals with your money and property; and the second deals with personal welfare and health.
Many people put off making a Power of Attorney until it is too late – and then lack the ability to formalise such a document. It is important to register the Power of Attorney once it has been made because it is only registration that gives it true validity. If you don't have a Power of Attorney until it's too late, two main issues arise:
It is simple and straightforward to make a Power of Attorney. Please don't leave it until it's too late. For a confidential discussions, please contact our wills & probate team on 020 3150 2525 or contact us at email@example.com.

Fashionable schooling methods, which are open to the center lessons and the poor, not simply the elites, were established during the first industrial revolution in the 18th and 19th centuries. The rising demand for elementary literacy and technical skills during that period prompted an growth of college methods and the adoption of the first pieces of laws on obligatory schooling. Well-liked training continued to grow throughout the first half of the 20th century, corresponding to the so-called second industrial revolution", which was ignited by advances in science and technology. Within the early twentieth century, attainment of main education turned practically common, and the system of secondary schooling began to develop.

Tai, great post. I run across this same sticking point many times when helping my clients work through their marketing messages. As you said, most people start with the what (the product) rather than the who (your audience) and it keeps them frustrated with their business.
Thanks for giving people a great perspective about what it takes upfront to make your products and services a success.
– AlexReply
Thanks for dropping by Alex! Focusing on the "who"in my business keeps me centered on my purpose which keeps me from getting distracted with other bright shiny busywork.Reply
Very relevant points in your post, Tai. Over time, the niche may get narrowed down to an area that one might not have considered as important. Revisiting and updating the product to match the needs of the clientele that a coach or online business person is attracting needs to be addressed at suitable intervals of time.Reply
[…] is part two in the series on creating information products that sell, click here to read part one. […]Reply
I really enjoyed reading your post. Certainly if you don't know who would want your product then it becomes pointless creating it.
However, especially for beginners, getting down to creating your product can be a real road block. I think that it can be worthwhile creating something to understand that it is not difficult – to build your confidence in terms of product creation. Then you can find out who your customer is and create something specific for them.Reply

Anyone who went outside this summer felt the effects of climate change. Now the Eurasian shrew, Sorex araneus, can say the same. A new study by P. David Polly of Indiana University found that climate change caused shrews to change, genetically, and eventually become different species. Using shrew DNA and fossils, he found that this change occurred over hundreds of thousands of years during repeated times of extreme cold, or glaciations.
Over the last 740,000 years the Earth has gone through eight different glaciation events, with warmer times between them when the ice sheets subsided, called interglacial events – we are currently in one of these now. In Europe and Asia these substantial glaciers diminished the home ranges of the tiny shrews that live there and forced them to congregate in smaller areas called glacial refugia (little refuges from the cold). Polly found that during glacial periods Eurasian shrews went to one of 10 refugia; these refugia served as a means to keep each group of shrews separate from other groups, allowing each group to develop their own distinct genetic signal. When the ice subsided, the shrews all came together again and had little difficulty inbreeding, but they still kept a genetic signal from their refugium. The Eurasian shrew has gone through this cycle multiple times, corresponding to multiple glaciations events, eventually leading to 70 different genetic varieties!
Since the glacial periods were more protracted than the interglacial periods, the shrews were in the refugia longer than they were intermixing. The long-term isolation in the refugia has built up enough genetic differentiation to consider some of these varieties separate species. "The climate cycles have an important effect on speciation and genetic differentiation, but it isn't speciation every cycle, but rather two steps forward and one step back," said Polly. Not only does Sorex araneus fit this pattern, its more distant relatives and other small critters seem to fit it too. Polly commented, "The populations that are most easily and completely isolated have speciated, whereas the ones that are isolated in glacial refugia only transiently have lots of diversity, but they haven't speciated." Will future climate change make more shrew species, or fewer? Only time and science can tell.

Nonesuch Records releases Portuguese singer Mariza's newest album, Mundo, in the United States on September 9, 2016. Mundo, which is the Portuguese word for "world," was released internationally last fall to critical acclaim. Songlines named Mariza its Best Artist for the year and called her album "not so much a reinvention as a bold expansion of her role as fado's foremost global ambassador. Adding sparkling pop ballads and subtle washes of electronica to her traditional roots, Mundo was an unalloyed triumph, her artistry hitting dynamic new heights and her voice expressing every emotional nuance, whether singing a gentle and intimate lullaby for her young son or melodramatically letting rip on the high notes with the force of an operatic diva." Mundo is available to preorder with an instant download of the album track "Maldição," which you can hear below.
Mundo follows Mariza's 2011 release, Fado Tradicional, which London's Daily Telegraph called "a stripped-back album of the genre's classics, accompanied by guitar and a touch of bass," adding that "the vocal poise and the sense of effortlessness are, as always, hugely impressive."
Mariza first entered the international music scene with her 2001 debut album, Fado em Mim, which became a runaway success. Four other studio albums and three live recordings followed, along with a best-of disc, countless international tours and concerts in some of the most prestigious venues around the world, and many awards and accolades.
With the songs on Mundo, Mariza joins all of these experiences and travels, along with recently becoming a mother. Opening track "Rio de Mágoa" is a classic fado that establishes who Mariza is and where she came from, before moving to new material written by her producer, the Spaniard Javier Limón, and classics by the legendary Amália Rodrigues and the storied tango singer Carlos Gardel. She considers Mundo not a worldwide travelogue, but a journey across her life, her influences, her soul, and her spirit. Many of its songs were written specifically for Mariza's voice; among the exceptions are a cover version of a 1930 tango originally sung by Carlos Gardel ("Caprichosa"); one fado made famous by Amália Rodrigues ("Anda O Sol Na Minha Rua") and another created by the renowned Alfredo Marceneiro ("Maldição"); and a Cape Verdian morna ("Padoce de Céu Azul").
Mariza, whom Uncut calls "the greatest contemporary singer of fado," is the most successful performer in the genre since the late Amália Rodrigues. She has sold more than a million copies of her recordings worldwide and has a total of more than 30 Platinum awards. Her albums are released in more than 30 countries; all of the albums have reached #1 in Portugal and have made top-ten lists in many other countries.
Mariza has worked with producers such as Brazilian cellist Jaques Morelenbaum and Madredeus keyboardist Carlos Maria Trindade. She has performed live or recorded with colleagues like Sting, Kiri Te Kanawa, Gonzalo Rubalcaba, and Miguel Poveda. Mariza has won BBC Radio's Best European World Music Artist three times and has been twice nominated for a Latin Grammy Award. In addition to performances at nearly all major international concert venues—including London's Royal Albert Hall and Royal Festival Hall; New York's Carnegie Hall; LA's Walt Disney Concert Hall; Paris' Salle Pleyel, Olympia, and Théâtre de la Ville; Barcelona's Palau de la Música Catalana; Vienna's Opera House; Sydney's Opera House—Mariza has also performed at pop-oriented festivals such as WOMAD and the North Sea Jazz Festival.

Music is bipartisan.................
The rest of the night was a blur, though I can pick out moments. Art Garfunkle gave a nice speech about me while a film was shown. The audience gave me a standing ovation. I was focusing all my energy on just keeping it together. It would have been so easy to be overwhelmed. Then people started performing. Lyle Lovett did a great take on "God Only Knows," and then Hootie and The Blowfish come out and sang "I Get Around." Then they segued into "California Girls" and I saw all these powerful Washington people act like any other crowd: they started dancing. First it was Senator Ted Kennedy. He stood up. Then the distinguished gentleman next to him stood up. Pretty soon the whole place was rocking. I took a peek over at President and Mrs. Bush, and at Secretary Rice. They were up, too, singing along with every word. Music is bipartisan.

Moving. It's something we all do, usually a few times in our lives. And, it's always something we dread. Let's face it, moving isn't fun, it's not an adventure. It's a real chore to relocate all your possessions from point A to point B, even if the distance is right next door or across the street. Moving creates a stressful situation because it comes with deadlines and a whole laundry list of tasks (not of which the least is the furniture). Fortunately, there are ways to minimize moving stress
Top Ways to Minimize Moving Stress
So, it's nearly time to move and your mind is racing. You're trying to remember everything to ensure your list is complete. Now, you're facing the fact you've got to be rid of this and that. It's time to dispose of baby furniture and be rid of it once and for all. Or, perhaps you'll need to cleanout a storage unit. That just doubles your workload and it's something you don't relish in the least. The point is organization is key.
While most people agree that moving is stressful, there are ways to ensure you have a much less stressful move than you thought possible. There are lots of ways to reduce the stress of moving so you can actually enjoy the moment, look forward to the change and know that this move can be a positive and rewarding experience – a chance to start over. —About.com
About three weeks before the move, you should schedule utilities to turn off and on. Start going through that frozen food and perishables so you don't have to throw it out (or lug it with you.) Update your mailing address with your bank, work, insurance carriers, and others. Plus, if you are on prescription medication, have a plan. And, get ready to clean out that shed. Here are some more helpful tips for minimize moving stress:
- Ask for help. When it comes to moving, there is such thing as too much help. But there's also such thing as too little help. Enlist the help of a few friends and that will make the move smoother without creating chaos and running into one another.
- Tell your neighbors. A day or two before your move, be sure to let your neighbors know what's going on so there aren't roadblocks impeding you. Ask them to help keep the street clear so you have ample room to move out furniture and a clear path for your own vehicles.
- Plan for kids and pets. Kids and pets will become an issue on moving day. Their curiosity can and will arise. Even if the pets scurry away, you might face a real predicament trying to get them to come out of hiding. So, formulate a plan for children and pets so they aren't in the way.
- Walk-through at least twice. Once everything is out of the house, garage, and shed, it's time to do a walk-through, inside and out. Don't just walk-through one time, do so at least twice; that way, you won't unwittingly leave something behind.
When you need help with purging stuff for a move, go ahead and phone 800-433-1094 or visit Haul Junk Away. We can help with furniture removal or just hauling junk away, whatever you need to make the move go smoother.

Man2Man is your chance to develop those "2am Waffle House friends" Buster often mentions.
The world can be a confusing place for a lot of men, and it is strategic to have men in your life that build you up. We want you to find meaningful friendships in our church and be a part of a community that encourages devotion to the pursuit Christ in our work, marriages, and parenting.
Man2Man is your chance to develop those "2am Waffle House friends" Buster often mentions.
Man2Man is a weekly gathering (200+) of men desiring to know God, themselves and their brothers in a deeper way. We meet in the gym at 6:20am every Friday morning from September to the end of May to enjoy a hot breakfast and hear a 20 minute message from Buster. Each table of men (4-8 men/table) then discuss questions designed to personalize the message. It's a time to share and pray together. Our time ends around 7:30am or whenever you need to leave to begin your day. Join us...you will be glad you did!
As David said in Psalm 23, He leads us away, to a quiet place, to restore our soul. Our first choice is to go with Him there- to slow down, unplug, and accept his invitation to come aside.
Men teaming together as a band of brothers in true male fellowship and brotherhood as "iron sharpens iron." Both in the spring and the fall, we take off for four days of hiking and camping in some of the most beautiful and glorious mountain scenery our country has to offer. As the bonds of friendship between hike mates grow and the walls you put up around yourself come tumbling down and incredible ministry work is done on your heart by our Lord.
Every February, men get together for the Wild Game Banquet. It's a time when we invite other men in our lives to enjoy lots of barbecue and hash, bluegrass and hear recognized speakers share their testimonies and the Gospel. This has grown to be one of the largest outreach ministries of East Cooper Baptist.
Each spring, we have our annual Father & Son Campout. This is a great way for fathers and sons to connect with each other, form lasting memories and get to know other dads and their sons. There'll be tenting, campfires, great food, fishing and much more! Did we mention great food?
Dads, this is a time to focus each spring on your relationship with your daughter(s) while enjoying a weekend of fun activities. You and your daughter will have a chance to enjoy a Bible study and discussion. You don't want to miss out on this fun and memorable weekend!

The jagged mountains of northern Albania have kept the locals relatively free from state control for centuries. The mountains have also helped preserve ancient traditions like the kanun. We're traveling with mediator Pashk Lleshi from the National Reconciliation Committee.
"The kanun is not enforced properly," Lleshi says. "The kanun was the constitution and the penal code of its time. It was the main legal instrument which prevented people from killing each other. The kanun doesn't say you can kill a woman or a child. It doesn't say you can kill for a piece of land or an offensive word. To the contrary, it contains the foundation for reconciliation between families in conflict."
The kanun was a set of traditional rules about all aspects of daily life adopted in the 15th century. But Lleshi says these days people often misuse the kanun to justify all kinds of criminal revenge. Today he's trying to unravel a complex conflict involving the 1997 shooting deaths of two innocent bystanders.
The mediation process seems mainly made up of chatting over coffee and cigarettes. We stop in a café to meet Mark Zeff Llesh, the cousin of one of the victims.
"The families of the victims have adopted a very humane attitude toward the family of the killer," Llesh says. "We haven't been stalking them or pursing them. We have showed an exceptionally high level of endurance and patience in the face of the violence and disgrace that befell our family on the street."
Our next stop is the house of the killer Ndue Gjonkolaj, currently serving 25 years in prison. We're let into the front yard by one of Gjonkolaj's sons. According to Albanian tradition, the oldest man of the house should greet us before we enter. So we wait with mediator Lleshi for the oldest son to return.
"We have been to the victim's family's house before but this is our first time here," Lleshi says. "This back and forth communication is going to continue for some time, until we can have them all sit down together, shake hands and have a coffee together."
When the son returns, we are welcomed into the house. Inside, the family greets us formally, standing in a line. Wife Dila Gjonkolaj is dressed in black out of respect for those killed by her husband. She says the tragedy all started because of a dispute over the sale of some lumber.
Curses and Insults
"They started to argue," she says. "They offended each other with curses and insults. And then in the end, three men grabbed my husband by the throat. They got out of the car and reached for their guns and started shooting at each other. Both sides were spared their own bullets and two bystanders were killed unintentionally."
13 years later, she feels the time has come for reconciliation. Her family has spent years asking for forgiveness through envoys and respecting the honor of the victims families by mourning and avoiding any possible contact.
"For two years after the killing, I didn't leave the house except for very rare occasions when I was escorted," Gjonkolaj says. "It's not because I was threatened, but out of respect for the victims' families. My eldest son at the time was 13, he didn't set foot off the family compound for four years. He quit going to school in the eighth grade."
Killed at Anytime
While Gjonkolaj says her family still hasn't been threatened all these years later, they are still afraid. They still haven't gotten a besa, or reprieve from the victims' relatives. So it's understood that a male member of her family could be killed anytime he steps out of the house.
The job of mediator Lleshi seems to be leading an endless series of informal chats. Reconciliation depends on men willing to talk and lots of coffee and rakia, a strong homemade grape brandy. The victims' friends and relatives gathered here say the main holdout in this blood feud is Tonin, the brother of one of the victims.
"The kanun values more the one that forgives than the one who avenges with blood," says Ndue Nikolli, a friend of one of the victims. "The rifle of he who forgives is more valuable than the rifle of one who has used it to kill."
The talk becomes more Shakespearean, as the men drink more and discuss justice, forgiveness and the honor of the dead.
"Tonin for the moment doesn't want to see anyone regarding this issue," says Pjeter Frroku, a cousin of one of the victims. "Our job is to try, but the final word is his."
The drama of the kanun and blood feuds has formed the plot of feature films and proves difficult to unravel. Albanians want to move beyond the cliché of a primitive people obsessed with blood and revenge. The Gjonkolajs hope their real world horror story comes to an end.

I have been all around the world before and I have seen many different types of people and places. Each one had their own uniqueness about it which set it apart from the rest of the world. I want to talk about one of the more outstanding ones on my journeys across the world and one which happened pretty recently as well.
I visited the wonderful city of Cape Town for a holiday over the festive season. The city is bigger than it seems but getting around was a breeze with a range of different types of public transport always roaming the streets looking for customers. The drivers were friendly and knew the city pretty well especially while in the heart of the city.
The heart of the city is exactly where I spent most of my time in Cape Town. This area was filled with so many attractions that you wont know where to start when you want to go somewhere. There was restaurants, clubs and shops. I stayed at a small(compared to some of the other ones) boutique hotel which had a reputation of being one of the best hotels in cape town. The service there was excellent once again and the people made me feel welcome from the moment I put my foot in the door.
I found myself stuck when it came to the night-time as what to do and which one of the many places to go to. There are so many clubs in Long street alone that I couldn't stay in one for to long as I wanted to explore as many in one night as I could. The best food I had was in Green Point by a place called Cubana. Their ribs were fantastic, probably the best I have ever had.
The beaches I visited while here was Clifton and Camps bay. The beaches here are unbelievable. You will see the greatest sunsets from Clifton. The water was a bit to cold for me to take a swim but some guys and girls for that matter would brave this cold and swim out to one of the many yachts out there.
Cape Town is highly popular with tourists and I did not know why until I went there and experienced it for myself. Now I would suggest it to anybody as the top of your list when planning your next holiday. Beautiful places and beautiful people makes a truly beautiful place.

This is where I park my bike at work. Looks like it'll be a while before I get to do that. (the sign is ~8' tall)
Where's the snowmobile parking?
I could park it at the top of that mountain of snow. I wonder if my MC parking permit would suffice?
If you park at the top, who's going climb up there to give you a ticket?

Unless you have dealt with something like this in the past, chances are that you are not sure where to turn or what to do next. That's where Mold Inspection & Testing comes in! The inspectors at MI&T Murray, Utah are in business to assist home and business owners just like yourself who are worried mold may be dangerously impacting their indoor air quality.Elevated mold for an indoor environment is not something that should be taken lightly. Current studies show that inhaling the spores that are released into the air by this fungus on a regular basis can have serious health effects; this is specifically true for the young and elderly, as well as individuals with pre-existing conditions. Unfortunately, companies that handle the removal of these types of problems often take advantage of people's apprehension in order to get more work. Other than giving you the steps to fix a problem, we are not affiliated with any part of the restoration process. For this reason, you can trust that the results you get from us are in fact the truth.While mold can possibly be hazardous, it is also important to know that there are "ordinary" levels of mold in every indoor environment. We also want you to know that certain types of mold are NOT toxic and can be treated by yourself without an unnecessary remediation company. In order to find out exactly what is going on at the property in question, we do Mold Testing Murray, Utah. This is done by comparing an outside sample from your area to an inside sample to see if levels are normal or elevated. Our assessor may suggest additional testing to get a clearer picture of a situation. This may include additional air samples from adjacent rooms or inside walls, or surface samples when visible mold is evident.The overall goal of a Murray Mold Inspection in Utah is to confirm or deny the presence of a mold elevation, pinpoint the source, find out how bad it is, and how far it has spread. The mold tests our inspectors conduct have the capability to make sure all of the above are accomplished. While every situation is different, everyone employed by MI&T Murray has seen limitless number of problems very similar to yours. You can be sure that by the point in time our report is finished you will have a much better perception of what is going on and exactly what does or does not need to happen.There are instances where we get results showing that no problem exists and no further action is necessary. We have no problem telling you this as we do not profit from your results unlike other companies. In cases where a problem is present, we provide every client with a complete protocol for restoration. Whenever a property is tested we can make an exact recommendation for work that needs to be done. Our report will list out all the steps that you or a professional mold remediation company should do in order to get rid of a problem.If you have any questions or are looking to schedule your mold inspection Murray, Utah please telephone us today at 855-600-6653.

i have been avoiding my blog like the plague
ETHANDUNE. || I'm in an enormous rut with this book right now. The past month - two months - have seen almost NO progress on this because I've been in a kind of emotional tailspin trying to sort myself out, + poor "Ethandune" has received very little mental attention - and what attention I've given has proved nearly fruitless. Sorry that this is bad news! The bad news bears are in town.
MONOCHROME + MINIMALISM. || Pretty much all of my energy (+ there's not much of it) has gone into my house. I've been culling, cleaning, overhauling, + planning so I can get my house to the monochrome minimalism that I want it to be. Basically ALL of my mental energy has gone here - and not to "Ethandune." Bad news bears.
i realize this may seem bizarre to most people. i'm SUPER strict about my monochrome + minimalism, + everyone else gives off a vibe of confusion + bemusement when they observe me. i sorry. this is me. with very few possessions + all of them some shade of white or grey or black. thank you for letting me just be me.
THE BABY + ME. || Those of you who are on Facebook + Instagram know, we're having a baby boy! Because I was a chucklehead + deleted my ovulation calculator after conception, so I completely forgot the date of my cycle, my due date is still kind of up-in-the-air + a matter of guesswork for the ultrasound technician. Sometime in early January is our guess (the 10th?? they guess the 10th??). But you'll know when he arrives, trust me.
i'm five months in + i am already feeling like i'm in third trimester exhaustion. nooooo. i have had to increase my anti-depressant due to pregnancy hormones, + that's shot my insomnia up to teeth-gritting levels. i beat it down as best i can, but there's only so much i can do/take while pregnant. i sorry. this is also me.
THE ACTUAL PENSLAYER BLOG. || But I do have GOOD news! I am currently contracted with Hannah Rose Creative to completely overhaul, rebrand, + redesign my poor little blog. I tell you what, how awesome is that?? It will be several months before you see the outcome because Hannah is super nice + is taking her time so that we can make bite-sized monthly payments for the package (so grateful!), but I've already got a taste of her work for me + I'm really excited to keep honing the process to a final design. MAYBE THEN I'LL ONCE AGAIN FEEL LIKE BLOGGING.
there's good news + bad news. but hey, at least you know i'm not GONE-gone. i'm just hiding from you. XD here's hoping some time in the future will see better progress on "ethandune" + i can once again pore over my computer like a maniac trying to get the plot down just so. thanks for sticking with me! <3

Lessons for lefties from Obama's healthcare fight
1: Public opinion can be shifted. Think of strategies and stunts that could do that. The atmosphere started with the public fairly positive to Obama's plans. But the wingnut Republicans started shouting at meetings and talking about 'death panels'. At this point most liberals though - hah, this will never work. The public will see through how absurd this is'. Wrong. People thought 'no smoke without fire' instead, and public opinion started shifting against Obama.
2. Facts don't always work. Emotion does. And the media always follow a circus. Exploit that to your advantage.
Following on from above - the left thought that the public would never buy the idea of 'death panels' or the people who turned up to townhalls with assault rifles. But people are influenced by their fellow citizens getting angry over something. And the media follows the circus - with the result that angry townhalls dominated coverage, and people started thinking all of America was angry at Obama's healthcare. Result - public opinion shifts.
The point isn't that you push lies, like Sarah Palin has done. The point is that thinking that just by debunking right-wing nonsense will do the job is not good enough. The media plays the game of 'journalistic equivalence', which means that a lying Republican will be offered equal space to someone debunking it. People assume that both are simply two sides of a debate, and they'll believe with their guts than facts.
3. Don't defend the status quo even if you want to retain it. Go on the offensive. Obama should have said that healthcare is broken, and that insurance companies were fleecing people. He started off by telling people they could keep what they had, instead of telling them they were paying too much for healthcare. Bad strategy.
4. Discipline on your side is necessary, and so is a clear message. Keep repeating the basic message. Those who want nuance can find it.
The Democrat Blue Dogs should have been taken outside and shot. I kid, only half-heartedly. If the bill doesn't get passed it will be thanks to conservative Democrats who don't realise it will kill their re-election chances too. Obama should have forced discipline from day one rather than letting everyone pile in.
