Moving to a new house is a stressful time for anyone but doing it over the festive period adds an extra layer of stress to the whole process. You may think that it's impossible to sell at this time of year – with less than 2 months before Christmas – considering that the average time to sell a home can take between 5 to 6 months from start to finish, but it is still possible.
For those who dream of starting the New Year in a new home, time is running out to get everything completed in time. So, here are some tips for preparing for that big move right before Christmas:
Declutter and Prepare
To entice a sale, you'll need to make your property look as appealing as possible. Despite the rain, cold and lack of sunshine and blooming flowers, there's no reason why you can't make your home look amazing in the run up to Christmas.
People need to buy houses all year round, so don't automatically assume that the poor weather will put them off. To give yourself the best chance of selling, you need to set your home up to its best potential. Brighten it up with decorating touch-ups and fully declutter and fix any small, niggling DIY jobs that you've been putting off for months.
Why not try the surprisingly effective (yet very morbid-sounding) Swedish death cleaning? This is the art of decluttering with the mindset of only keeping items that you think someone would want as a keepsake after you die. Creepy yes, but certain to finally get you to chuck out that broken DVD player.
Get Your Property Valued
Once you get an estate agent involved, you've started the house-selling process. Make sure you get your property valued by a few different estate agents, so you can get some comparable valuations, selling strategies and fees. Most agents will list your property online, and surprisingly a lot of property websites report very high traffic for searches around the Christmas period. So, make sure you're happy with the listing, the photos and the description of your house.
Make sure you price your home realistically, especially if you're looking for a quick sale. Estate agents may encourage you to sell at a much higher price than you might expect to 'test' the market. After all, if someone is keen to move quickly, you could end up selling for that price. This is unlikely, however, so if you want to sell soon, you're better off asking for a more realistic price, based on the evaluation.
Buying Your New Home
Once you've secured a sale you'll need to get your finances in order before buying a new house. Decide on what kind of mortgage you're going to take out or get a mortgage in principle if you can't secure one before you buy; this will put you in a much stronger position.
The best place to start looking for homes is online; plenty of estate agent websites have all their listed properties available to view. You can register your interest with some estate agents before the sale has gone through to get ahead of the game.
Once you receive an offer for your home you need to get a solicitor or conveyancer to handle the legal work, which will speed up the house sale process. Remain in constant contact with your solicitor to ensure your case is being handled swiftly; this will also allow you to handle any issues as soon as they arise.
By following these steps, you should be in a good position to secure a house sale before Christmas. And, with the sale going through, here are some tips to help you with your move.
- Get an Essentials Box Ready
When moving, you'll have packed so much of your life away that you may not get around to unpacking everything for days or even weeks. Everyone in your family should prepare with an 'essentials box' full of everything they'll need to have to hand for the coming days of unpacking chaos. Things like toiletries, teabags, a kettle, phone chargers and water bottles are great to have on hand during the move. And don't forget to make a Christmas box – so you can put up a few festive decorations and be sure you know where all the carefully wrapped gifts your bought are stored.
- Prepare for Cold Weather
It will be cold when you move. Depending on the weather, it may also be icy or even snowing. Get a head start by preparing for any and all types of weather by gritting steps and paths outside your house, keeping warm clothing within easy reach (not tucked at the bottom of a moving box) and hanging onto some old newspapers to lay down inside your new home to prevent slips and muddy footprints.
- Early Starts
It gets much darker much earlier in winter, so make sure you schedule your moving times for early in the day. If it's not possible to move before darkness hits, make sure you have some spare lightbulbs lying around in case you need to change any.
- Book Your Removal Company Early
Christmas time is a busy period for all businesses. You should bear in mind that removal companies may be in short supply during Christmas time as their workers take time off. So, make sure you book your removal company early to secure a moving-in date.
Organise Storage
If your selling and moving dates don't line up, or you aren't able to secure removal services when you need them, consider storage. You can easily store your belongings by hiring a storage unit for the period of time that you need. Perhaps you don't want to face a mountain of unpacking whilst the family is all at home over Christmas. Instead, take only necessities and enjoy the festivities and store your belongings until you have time to upack.
At Smart Storage, we can provide you with the following:
- Flexible terms from two weeks, with the option to extend your stay as needed.
- 24-hour security system, including individually-alarmed units, to keep your most important possessions safe.
- Exclusive access to your unit, meaning only you will have the key and access code to your belongings.
- No reservation fee and a lowest price match guarantee.
- A personal and friendly on-site team to answer all of your questions.
For those living in the North West, Smart Storage offers storage in Liverpool, storage in Preston, storage in Wirral, storage in Warrington, storage in Widnes and storage in Altrincham. This means we can probably offer a storage unit near you. Just click on your chosen location for more information.

LONDON • Slaven Bilic admitted that the responsibility for West Ham United's dreadful start to the season lies with him and denied that there is any split in the dressing room after the 3-0 defeat by Southampton at London Stadium on Sunday.
Bilic spoke as the West Ham captain, Mark Noble, pulled no punches, criticising the "laughable" defending that has led to West Ham conceding 11 goals in their past three Premier League matches.
His manager insisted the attitude in the camp remains positive.
Yet Bilic said that confidence evaporated after Charlie Austin's opener for the visitors and he accepted that credit is quickly running out for him and his players, with his team stuck in the bottom three after five defeats from their first six matches of the season.
Only a few months ago, they were being lauded after finishing seventh last season.
"It is my responsibility, it is my team," Bilic said.
"I am not flying away from the responsibility and I don't want to point fingers. It is never one player. One player can make a mistake and you can lose a game. But it is a team effort, it is teamwork, it is a team mistake.
"But it is true that at the moment we have to be clear, everything that was really good last year is bad. We can say the season has only just started. But it's happening for four games now and we have to change it big time."
Southampton rose to ninth place after further goals from Dusan Tadic and James Ward-Prowse.
Claude Puel's side were good value for their victory and a visibly upset Noble was damning in his assessment of the match.
"Eleven goals in three games is laughable," the 29-year-old said.
"We could have kept playing until tonight and we wouldn't have scored. I thought we started all right and then bang, we conceded a goal and we never looked back in it.
"If I'm honest, it could have been six in the end. On the bright side, I don't think it can get any worse. At the moment we're just not good enough."
Bilic was asked if the players are pulling in the same direction.
"Are they together?" he said.
"From what I can see, they are good with each other. They are the same players who did it last year. Of course when it is not going so well you can't expect the atmosphere to be smashing.
"But have I noticed any problems in training? No."
This was West Ham's third defeat at their new home - following the 0-1 loss to Astra Giurgiu in August and the 4-2 defeat by Watford last month.
Bilic added that it hurt to see supporters leaving long before the final whistle. "It is not a good sight," the manager said.
For Southampton, this was a fourth straight victory in all competitions and their second in the Premier League. In those four victories the Saints have kept four clean sheets.

Danielle Solzman: Thanks for joining us today. How are things going in the Windy City?
Brendan Jennings: Getting warmer everyday, so awesome.
DS: When did you decide to go into improv and sketch comedy? When did you have your "Second City" moment? Or IO moment?
BJ: I never did any acting until I went to college. My Sophomore year I did a bunch of shows and at the end of the year the theater department had an improv/sketch show and I joined. I was always told that I was funny and should do stand up, but was nervous about going up in front of an audience and bombing. The second I did improv in front of an audience I was hooked. I had someone to work off of, I could still be funny, and it was never the same twice. My Second City moment was with my same college theater group visiting Second City. We were all going to take a workshop with Martin DeMatt, so me and three of my improv nerd buddies drove down from Cincinnati early, whilst the rest flew. Snow storms delayed them so we showed up at SC to find no workshop happening. Martin was awesome and gave us a tour of the whole building, let us sit in on a class, it was amazing. Saw the mainstage show ,4.0 ,that night and was blown away. I made a vow that night to do everything I could to work there. Years later I finally went for the big Chicago move and had my first iO moment, which was seeing the Reckoning and paying to much for one of iO's "pizzas" It was my first Harold experience and I got all the good and bad in one night. Two weird teams and then The Reckoning was great, this was in POB's huge glasses days. He was real good.
DS: What's your first memory of Second City and what would be your favorite?
BJ: Oops, I may have covered that in my long winded first answer. I'll never forget my first conservatory class, that was cool. I was so nervous looking back, I don't know why it was just a class. I guess I thought you could get hired the same day. That class is where I met Greg Hess (fellow Cook County chap) and I changed his life forever.
DS: What was your improv training like? Is there any particular thing that an instructor said that has really stuck to you?
BJ: My first three years were self taught doing shows with a group my buddies and I started at Xavier. I then moved to Orlando and took a class with Sak Comedy Labs, a great improv theater there, and then worked for them for 3 years or so. I learned a ton doing shows for them every night and moved here feeling pretty polished. I took SC conservatory and iO's training center at the same time and learned even more. It was exhausting taking both at the same time but worth it. I had great instructors through out, Tim O'Malley, Michael Gellman, TJ Jagadowski, Rachael Mason, and Al Samuels. I really loved how Al taught and he was the guy who settled me down and got me to just enjoy it for a bit. I was so obsessed with getting hired by Second City and he told me, you're good, it may or may not happen, so why not enjoy where you're at. It was a great wake up call.
DS: When did you join the Second City National Touring Company--and how long were you touring with them?
BJ: I can't remember the date. It was right when Andy St Clair went to Vegas. I took his spot. I toured for just over 2 years. I loved it, but then my first son was born and I missed being home and hung up the ol' touring pants.
DS: What was the Mainstage experience like?
BJ: Amazing. I loved that cast and that show was real fun to run. Canale gave me some fun things to do.
DS: When you came out as the polar bear, did you tend to get awkward experiences from the audience?
BJ: No. It was generally great. If you got an asshole I would do the opposite of Joe and just end it quicker. Joe would crush those cats for hours, I'm too non confrontational. I only had one truly awful person. Some rich couple who couldn't be bothered or lighten up. We subtly would make fun of them through out the night, I think the woman caught on and left even more unhappy. Terrible people, damn them.
DS: What are some of your favorite characters to perform as during a show?
BJ: In those SC shows, polar bear was great and when I did a spell as Ithamar Enriquez's understudy, Iggy the Jiffy Lube mechanic was a blast.
DS: How long have you been with the Cook County Social Club and how did you guys get started? Is the social club restrictive like most of these country clubs?
BJ: We've been together for five years maybe? I'm real bad with dates if you haven't noticed. Greg, Bill Cochran and I were in a group called Show Pony together. It was my first squad and we had a blast performing together. We became friends with Mark Raterman who was in an equally great group called Chuckle Sandwich. A few years later Mark, Bill and I were working as secretaries at a law firm down town and Greg worked at the art institute near by. We would meet everyday for lunch, bit for hours and hours over email and eventually decided we should do a show. We wanted to do it at iO real bad, so we wanted it polished and worked for three months or so just rehearsing with Jeff Griggs. We never did a show until we were really happy with the form and we did a short Thursday night run at iO. Charna saw it and kept giving us new nights until we ended up taking the Tuesday night spot over. Last year while I was on Main, Tim Robinson played in my sot and we loved him so much we kept him on. Everyone is welcome to be a member of our club, so please come and join us on Tuesday nights. (Thanks for the plug)
DS: When you found out that you were going to be on ETC stage for the new revue, what was your initial reaction?
BJ: I was thrilled. I moved to this city with the intent of getting a stage at Second City and I did it. Real great phone call to get.
DS: For most people, isn't it usually the other way around—going from ETC to mainstage? I'm not trying to be rude or anything but how often does it happen that one goes from Mainstage to ETC?
BJ: My Mainstage stints though very long and amazingly, amazingly well done were only in the capacity of understudying. I finished Joe's and Ithamar's contract and of course wanted to stay on for the next show, but a lot goes into the decision on who gets a stage there and both times the cards didn't fall my way. In the end I'm in a great cast, for a great show, and I'm on a better schedule so victory for all.
DS: The Big Ten is talking about expanding their conference. One rumor has the Big East being scrapped to the basketball-only teams and having most of the Atlantic 10 joining them. Any thoughts on the idea of Xavier playing in the Big East?
BJ: I would looooovvvveeee this. In Cincy, UC still gets al the press in college sports. They endlessly rip XU for playing in a weaker conference and make a ton of excuses when we beat them head to head every year. I think X would do great in the big east, much better than UC any way. F those guys.
DS: Any comments on the Xavier recruits for the 2010-11 season?
BJ: We got four great players coming in again. We may lose Jordan Crawford to the NBA, but X always does an amazing job reloading talent. I think we can expect the same results from X next year, though I would love to break out of the elite 8 and get a final 4. I think the program is real close on doing that. This year would have been perfect, damn KSU.
DS: Do you have a Final Four for next year?
BJ: If the tourneys anything like this year I'll say Xavier, Duke, the Golden Grifs of Canisus and Long Island University.
DS: World Series pick?
BJ: I would love to say the Mets but picking them would jinx them so I'll say Phillies, Yanks again and hope I jinx them.
DS: What can you tell me about the new revue?
BJ: I can tell you it opens May 2nd and is a laugh riot.
DS: What's the process like when it comes to writing a new revue? How early do new scenes start joining the running order? For the new revue, The Absolute Best Friggin' Time of Your Life, when did this process start?
BJ: We started in February. Early on we'd bring scenes in or improv through ideas, soon the director would try things in the set, then move them into the ro. Billy Bungeroth is our director and he got things into the show real, real early on. It's fun to slowly take the old show apart.
DS: What do you usually tell new improvisers when they are just starting out?
BJ: Perform baby! Stage time is the best learning tool. Take notes well in class and be a good person to play with and be able to play with anybody. When I say take notes I don't mean write stuff out I mean when the teacher says something apply it rather than argue. If you disagree you can change it later but people feel notes sometimes are a personal slight, when the teacher is just trying to make you better.
DS: Andy was quoted in the AP about having to sign an autograph for an audience member and was flattered when they said they can't wait to see him on SNL. Has this ever happened to you?
BJ: Yeah, it's exciting and weird. I then feel like I'm going to ruin this person's life if I don't make it. But in the moment it's great. I also somehow get recognized when my family is around, so that's cool. Especially if it's a member of my wife's family, I think it makes them feel I'm less of a bum.
DS: Remember that time you got to meet Kentucky Basketball Coach John Calipari? That was awesome! How did that happen? I heard it had something to do with Brad Morris, right?
BJ: It has everything to do with Brad Morris, that's my answer to improv and all other questions in life. While Brad was in rehearsals for Taming of the Flu, I got to go out on the road with Uncle's Brother (Brad, Joe Canale and Tim Meadows) We got to go to UK for a show, it was a pep rally that we did prov for at the end. Before hand Calipari was talking with Tim so Joe and I used that moment to go meet the new king in town. He was amazingly slick, I can see why he's a good recruiter.
DS: Thanks again for joining Chitown Improv Celebrity News. Is there anything else you would like to add?
BJ: I'm thrilled to do an interview with improv's leading news paper. Thanks Solzy.

You have gone beyond what is required and made something daunting into something that is manageable.
I have no hesitation in recommending you to my friends, family, colleagues, suppliers, and customers."
Stephen organised everything and made two separate appointments to see us to sign documents. Without Stephen chasing us on this it would not have happened, so I am very grateful for his efforts. I would highly recommend Stephen for his financial advice and will recommend to friends and family."
I have been happy to recommend you to many of our clients, as I know you will give them an opinion on whether or not their existing pension is working for them.
Many of my clients have switched to St. James's Place for their pensions and have been given your expert advice. I too have been very happy with the service provided in moving my own pension over.
Only today, a client I referred on to you a year ago, thanked me for introducing that nice young man Stephen Pitcher!
Praise indeed!
Thank you again and I won't hesitate to continue to refer clients to you."
I would just like to write to say how impressed I have been with your service. Not only did you come out to our house, which was very convenient, you also then took the responsibility of dealing with several different pensions, accrued over many years, with different Providers.
For what has seemed little effort on my part, I now understand my collective pensions, feel that they will be better looked after, with the potential for greater performance and I really value the service of an annual review, face to face.
Having now completed the Review you advised me to undertake, I can't help asking myself why I left it so long.
Thank you for such fantastic service. I shall definitely be recommending you and the St. James's Place service."
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your advice and guidance with regard to our children's retirement planning.
Having demonstrated your integrity and character in all our previous dealings, you could be the only choice for my wife and I when protecting our children's financial position for the future.
Again, your performance was exemplary in showing and arranging significant pensions that will secure their and their families futures.
It is a privilege to work with you and I would recommend you without reservation or qualification."

Next up will be digging to lay the pipeline itself. The Lebanon Daily News reports residents in Lebanon County can count on seeing activity there "any day now." The article names the five townships where the pipeline will cross, and says first up will be staging of equipment, then tree clearing, and finally (perhaps in mid-to-late October) the pipeline itself will get laid in the ground. A few antis in Lebanon have been quite vocal against the project over the past couple of years (see Lebanon County Antis Want Public (Spectacle) Mtg or No Mtg at All). Interestingly, over the past year or so Lebanon antis have been mum. Will we see any nutjobs chain themselves to bulldozers in Lebanon County? We doubt it, but you never know. Depends on whether or not out-of-town Big Green groups send troublemakers into the area. Here's the list of five towns fortunate enough to see the Atlantic Sunrise, along with the list of four contractors hired to build the pipeline… Please Login to view this content. (Not a member?

In a recent round of funding the Coastal Recycling Community Fund awarded £24,974 to help transform a derelict space in Westward Ho! in to a play area for the local community.
The piece of land used to be a play area but sadly as equipment broke it was removed seeing the space slowly become vacant and of no use to local families. Once acquired by Northam Town Council they received requests from the local community to see it turned back in to a play area. The council listened and following positive feedback on proposed ideas the project was put in to action.
The play area was designed to be disability friendly, allowing parents and children to enjoy the space together. From an accessible roundabout, a basket swing, games on the fence line, a talking penguin bin and more the play area is already being enjoyed by the local community.
"With the support of the Coastal Recycling Community Fund this project provided an opportunity to bring people together and provide a safe place for children to play. It's great to see the space transformed and more importantly being enjoyed by the local community, it has already received very positive feedback."
Jane Mills, Town Clerk, Northam Town Council
Richard Marsh, Director, Coastal Recycling said:
"It's always great to hear of the positive impact projects supported by the Coastal Recycling Community Fund are having on local communities. The investment in this space has transformed a derelict site in to a safe space that can be enjoyed by local families for many years to come."
Keep your eyes peeled for the official opening of the play area over the coming months either on the Council website or the Facebook page.

Mile-high Complexion Perfection
Whether a business trip or holiday beckons, resident Ultra skin expert, Tracey Beeby delivers professional tips to avoid long-haul skin fatigue.
Preparing for a long-haul flight normally starts with outfit prep, followed by travel essentials including passport and foreign currency; and while you've probably packed your toiletries and amenities to last your time away, worrying what you can and can't get through customs — hint, look out for travel-sized products under 100ml — give thought to the trauma (yes, trauma) you're about to deliver your skin at 20,000 feet.
Avoid high flying skin fatigue
"There are so many elements on a long-haul flight that will wreak havoc on our skin!" says resident Ultra skin expert, Tracey Beeby.
"From cabin air and the foods we eat, to general travel stress and sleep deprivation, it's no wonder we exit from customs looking far from fresh. But there are some simple tips we can try to help keep the glow in our skin after our flight."
Dry cabin air is one of the biggest causes of dehydration, bringing out fine lines around the eyes as well as dry, blotchy and flaky skin, dark under eye circles, eye bags and blemishes and dehydration. To help combat this, focus on hydration, hydration, hydration!
Tracey recommends upgrading your moisturiser to a richer cream for the flight and packing a hard working serum such as the Ultra B2 Hydrating Serum, while using the Ultra Replenishing Mask can help fend off the appearance of fine lines. If you find the skin feeling tight or dry, help to keep it plump and hydrated with the Ultra Balancing Skin Mist during the flight.
And while sun damage is not as big a risk on aircraft due to the size of windows, Tracey still recommends applying a product with a broad spectrum SPF especially if you're sitting in a window seat. This is because the windows on planes do not block UVA rays associated with wrinkling and skin ageing, which can be much stronger at 20,000 feet.
Airline foods can also be rather heavy, which means our bodies require more water to digest them, Tracey explains. Try to make a conscious effort to choose lighter options where available and avoid coffee, soft drinks and alcohol — opting for herbal tea or plain water — your skin will thank you for it when you land, she says.
Tracey's TOP TIP
Avoid having the air conditioning nozzle above your seat blasting directly onto your face. By turning it slightly on an angle, you can help to minimise the effect of dry, sore eyes which also make us look and feel worse.
To start your journey to your best possible skin and discuss how you can get the most out your skincare routine whilst travelling, visit your local Ultraceuticals expert clinic for a consultation with one of our qualified Skin Technicians.

Erik Enocksson - For Those in Peril
MLP (Ltd Ed clear 10'' Vinyl. Incl. Album Download)
Downlad (MP3/FLAC)
Catalogue No.: KD115
Release date: Dec 10th 2014
Erik Enocksson is back with the mini-album "For Those In Peril" consisting of original music from the film of the same name. Via dark chorales and disturbing sea hymns Enocksson consolidates his role as one of Sweden's most interesting composers. Like the film's Scottish director, Paul Wright, Enocksson grew up in a small fishing village, from where he has found inspiration for these pieces of music. The texts are written in Morpekanska (a dying dialect only spoken in the region around the community Glommen), words and phrases that literally breathes past times where the sea was ever present in myth as well as the living. Erik Enocksson is part of the Swedish film collective "Fasad" who has created a series of internationally acclaimed films such as "Falkenberg Farewell", "Burrowing" and "Monkey". "For Those In Peril" was selected for Critics' Week at Cannes 2013, and has among others been awarded a British Independent Film Award and the Scottish BAFTA for best debut and best film."

MBA Student Spotlight: Getting to know Margaret Ross
Margaret Ross, 30, born and raised in Vancouver, recently completed her Master of Business Administration (MBA) at Simon Fraser University's (SFU) Beedie School of Business. A self-described adventure seeker with a love for exploring, Margaret is equally as likely to be found skiing or hiking on the North Shore.
We had a chance to catch up with Ross to find out what inspired her to do her MBA at SFU and what she's learned from her experience.
What attracted you to the MBA program at SFU's Beedie School of Business?
I returned to school to specialize and focus my career, and solidify the skills necessary for long-term business success. SFU ranks among the top ten MBA programs in Canada and the deciding factor was the cultural fit and its focus on collaboration. I knew I would thrive working with my classmates rather than competing against them.
You had to go on an international trip as part of your MBA. What was the main takeaway from that trip?
We visited Colombia and Peru; countries that are actively welcoming foreign investment, and the opportunities in these markets are exciting and developing rapidly. It was an amazing experience to speak with high-level representatives of industry and trade and ask academic questions that applied our curriculum to their businesses.
What do you love best about your MBA experience at SFU?
The people. Going into the program I knew that the alumni network would be one of the most valuable products of my MBA experience, and it is true. The program attracts a remarkable calibre of individuals and the friendships that are developed through working together are incredible.
How will SFU Beedie's MBA help you advance your career?
The personal development throughout this program has been transformative. Learning to think strategically, manage teams effectively and strengthen core business fundamentals has helped me take great strides toward advancing my career.
What does success look like to you?
Success is doing something I enjoy that challenges me everyday while contributing to a great team.
What's your favourite restaurant to wine and dine in Vancouver?
Brix Restaurant in Yaletown. The food is amazing and the indoor courtyard has a wonderful ambience. It's a very special spot in the city and I am planning my wedding there for next winter.
Do you have any advice for other students who might be interested in pursuing their MBA?
If you can get into a program that you are excited about, it is an excellent opportunity. Make sure to work hard, but remember to focus your time and resources. There are a lot of exciting opportunities for new students—find the one that most strongly appeals to you and commit to it.
Register to attend SFU's Full-Time MBA info session on Thursday, Oct 29.

STRONG Idea: 12 Days of Fitness; Day 12
By Emily Stapleton on December 13, 2013 from Strong Ideas via Connect-Bridgeport.com
On the twelfth DAY OF FITNESS, my trainer gave to me
12 Squat Hops
11 Full Body Sit-ups
10 Stance Jacks
9 Burpees
8 Spider Man Push-ups
7 Squat Jumps
6 Push-ups
5 Squats
4 Jumping Jacks
2-Floor to Ceilings and
A 1-minute plank.
It's time to add our final exercise to the 12 Days of Fitness. Hopefully you've been adding an exercise on every day. If not, click here to start at the beginning or here to understand the nature of this challenge.
The final exercise of the series is Squat Hops. If you've been following along, you should be pretty good at squats by now. For this exercise, hold the squat position and perform little hops. Watch the video for a demo. In fact, this time you can follow me on the video to complete the entire 12 Days of Fitness series. This is truly where you get Stronger!
Water Challenge: I hope you're feeling the benefits of increased water consumption. Make drinking water part of your lifestyle. Anytime I feel like I'm slipping in this department, I simply take a few days to record how much I'm drinking and I'm back on track.
Just Breath: If you've learned nothing else from this 12-day challenge, I hope you've felt the benefits of deep breathing. Use breathing to help you workout more effectively, but also to help you handle everyday stress.
This concludes the 12 Days of Fitness by STRONG…but it doesn't have to end here. I hope you're feeling fit, fast, flexible, and Strong. Keep it up!

Sometimes we take things for granted. We're around some things so much that we get accustomed to them and we forget how important they are to us—until they're gone. Maybe your air conditioner suddenly fails during the Summer months, or budgetary needs mean you can't afford some of your favorite foods anymore, or, on a more serious note, you lose a family member. The Lord giveth, and the Lord taketh away, but here are just five things that God really never had to give us in the first place, but did anyway, for no other apparent reason other than His unconditional love for us, His children.
1. Color
We could have gotten by without color vision. Seeing in black and white would not have changed the Plan of Salvation one bit. We would still sin, need to repent, go to church, pray, develop Christ-like attributes—the whole sha-bang. But God, for whatever reason, gave us color anyway. We get to be stopped in our tracks by a breathtaking sunset, we get to point out vivid rainbows to our families, we even get to agonize for weeks over which color to paint the kitchen. God didn't have to give us color, but He did.
2. Music
And the same goes for music. Nothing in God's plan would have changed without it, but we've got it. I don't understand what makes any given rhythm "catchy," or why some notes are "out of tune" while others aren't. What makes Debussy's Claire de Lune so beautiful, but Schoenberg's atonal Six Little Piano Pieces so … odd? All I know is that having music in our lives is a blessing that maybe we didn't deserve, but got anyway.
3. Geographic diversity
We've got mountains, valleys, deserts, jungles, arctic tundras, oceans, forests, islands, and continents. Wouldn't it have been easier for God to just design the Earth as a nice flat, round sphere? Maybe, but He didn't. He gave us a whole range of geographic features that make life more exciting to live. People travel the world to see the White Cliffs of Dover, or the Dead Sea, or Yellowstone's Old Faithful. Was it necessary for our salvation to make Earth such a geographically interesting place to live in? I don't think so. I think it was just another cherry that a loving God put on top of our mortal existence.
4. Sense of smell
Remember returning home after a hard day's play when you were a kid? You walked through the front door and that familiar smell of mom's home-cooked dinner wafted through the house straight to your nose. Whether it's a hot meal, a field of wildflowers, or even sour milk—our sense of smell is another blessing we probably would have been able to get along without, but thankfully have nonetheless.
Even the bad smells are a blessing. They let us know when foods have gone bad or when something is outright inedible. Our noses can immediately help us identify dangerous situations, such as a gas leak or smoke seeping into a bedroom at night. Our sense of smell very easily could have been a blessing reserved for us in the afterlife, but we're lucky to enjoy it right here, right now.
5. Humor
Everyone loves to laugh, and it's a blessing that we can. A sense of humor is another gift from God that we sometimes take for granted. It provides an escape route of reprieve from life's constant demands. Of course, like most all of God's blessings, the adversary does his best to use it for evil purposes. Much of today's "humor" is crass, base, and derogatory. But our ability to enjoy life, have fun, and laugh at a good joke comes from God. We could have gotten along without that ability, but it sure would have made life a lot less … lifelike.

Author Interview #20, with science fiction author, Joseph Robert Lewis!
* * * * *
Hi Joseph! Describe yourself in 5 words:
Obsessive, disciplined, inquisitive, busy, anosmic.
Share a blurb of your work (10-100 words):
Heirs of Mars — The dream that was Mars has become a nightmare for the children born there.
To save New Troy from falling birth rates, Asher Radescu secretly clones people in the back of his old truck. To save New Troy from despair, Claudia Cruz hosts the most popular racing show on two worlds. And to save the city from destruction, they'll rally persecuted cloners, resurrected colonists, and racing celebrities to fight homicidal AIs. HEIRS OF MARS follows the lives of six men and women through the final days of the first war on Mars, a war between humans, machines, and the resurrected souls who aren't truly one or the other. But even if they survive the war, there is no escape from the red planet.
Visit my site for two free short stories set before Heirs of Mars (19 years and 24 hours, respectively): http://josephrobertlewis.wordpress.com/books/heirs-of-mars/
Share a list of your favorite author's novels that influenced your new book:
Accelerando, by Charles Stross
A Song of Ice and Fire (series), by George RR Martin
The Wreck of the River of Stars, by Michael Flynn
Comment on the writing versus publication process, in your experience:
Writing is work. (Fun, cool, exciting work, but work nonetheless.) Heirs of Mars took a total of 250 hours of research, writing, revising, editing, and polishing. I believe a book has to be perfect — every word, every idea. If you expect someone to pay for your work, then they deserve the best work possible. Never settle for "good enough"! But with practice and experience, I've found a process and a rhythm for completing an entire novel in 3-4 months and while it is still work, it is work I really enjoy.
In sharp contrast, publishing is easy. It took me less than an hour to properly format and upload the book itself. And then a handful of hours to update my website and blog and to post announcements on the various ebook forums and review sites, as well as my fellow indie authors' blogs. The best part is that I can simply reuse the same text and images and links for most of those announcements. And at that point, it's pretty much up to the world to either take an interest or pass. As for me, I'm off to write another book!
What is your definition of "good writing"?
There's no such thing. Good writing is whatever an audience enjoys. (Seriously, we're all people and we all have different tastes.) It can be over-written purple prose, like Tolkien, and it can be under-written dots and dashes, like Hemingway. Any abundance or lack of description, dialog, action, and exposition can be "good." All you have to do is find your audience.
(But if you can't find an audience, well, then you're writing may not be good. Or you may have forgotten to get published. Check your royalties if you're not sure which.)
Please share your #1 tip for writers:
Have a goal. I don't mean as an author: "I want to be rich and famous." But as a writer trying to write a book, have a goal. Don't just try to tell a story. Try to accomplish something, whether it's as simple as making your readers laugh or as ambitious as inspiring them to lead a revolution.
Do you want to be funny, or scary, or erotic? Do you want to fight social injustice by creating heroes for a certain type of reader? Do you want to expose people to exciting new ideas in science or fascinating facts from history? Once you have a goal, hold on to it. As you write your book, keep asking yourself whether you're moving closer to reaching your goal. If the answer is no, then start reaching for your Backspace key.

What are the best manicure and pedicure tools?
Our hands and feet add significantly to our beauty and overall health. However, these two important parts of our body are constantly exposed to dirt and harsh weather on a daily basis. They accumulate a whole lot of dirt and washing is never enough. So if you want to keep your feet and hands looking beautiful, you need to indulge in a mani-pedi routine from time to time.
You may ask "how can manicures and pedicures help keep my hands and feet looking beautiful?" Well, there are lots of benefits you can derive from having these treatments including:
- Manicures and pedicures help in removing any callouses on your feet.
- They help exfoliate your skin.
- They will keep your nails clean to prevent any fungal infection.
- They help to prevent dry cuticles, broken skin and hangnails.
Aren't those some awesome benefits for you? Now, you don't have to always go to the salon to get mani-pedi care. You can get an amazing job done by yourself from the comfort of your home. This can make your life easier and help you save some bucks.
However, there are some important manicure and pedicure tools you need to have at home to give your hands and feet a salon-like treatment. You can easily find them out there in the market. Below are the best manicure and pedicure tools to have at home and how to use them. However, always remember to sterilize these grooming tools with alcohol before and after use.
Nail cutter
This is one of the most important manicure tools you need to have at home. With your nail cutter, you can trim your nails to prevent dirt and germs from collecting under them. Trimming your nails from time to time is important for maintaining your overall health. Therefore, ensure you keep your nails short to prevent the spread of diseases.
How to use nail cutter?
Before using your nail cutter, always sterilize it with alcohol or some Dettol. After that, put your nails in-between the nail cutter, but don't let it touch the skin. Cut your nails and stop before it gets too low to avoid exposing your nail bed which can lead to infection.
Cuticle pusher
This tool is also very important for your manicure. You can use it to push the skin from your nails back and away. You need to pay special attention to your cuticles to prevent dryness and flakiness. You can use a wooden cuticle pusher if you have a soft cuticle. You can also use a steel one if you have a tough hard skin.
How to use cuticle pusher?
Remember you are not supposed to cut your cuticle. All you need to do is to push them back gently. Just use the sharper end of the pusher to push against the cuticles around the corners. Be gentle so you don't slice the thin lining on the bottom of your nail. This can lead to infection.
Cuticle Nipper
This tool can help you deal with tough cuticles, hangnails and the dry skin around your nails. You can use it at home to trim those annoying ingrown nails. It can reach those tight spaces and remove those unwanted soft tissues around your nails.
How to use cuticle nipper?
The best time to use the cuticle nipper is after pushing back the cuticle. You can use it to trim those tiny pieces of skin left around your nail bed. However, be gentle and use an upward motion to lift this dead skin up from the nail.
Nail buffer
Do you know you can make your nails glossy and shiny without going to those expensive salons? Yes, you can use a nail buffer from the comfort of your home to do this. You can remove any peeling or dry ridges on your nails and make them smooth with the nail buffer. You need to have this tool at home if you want to get rid of dullness on your nails and give them a consistent look.
How to use a nail buffer?
Before using a nail buffer, first clean and soak your nails. Then, dry your nails and apply the buffer in one direction. You should stick to one direction whether backward or forward. This prevents thinning of your nails. However, excessive buffing is not advisable. You can preserve the shiny look of your nails by buffing just once a month.
Nail file
This tool is one of the best tools you need to have at home for your manicure and pedicure. You can use it to grind down the edges of your nails, making them smooth and well-shaped. You need to be careful when using a nail file because there are different options available in the market. The most common ones are the plain metal files and the emery boards. The metal files can be rather harsh on your nails and cause you little pains. Therefore, you can use the emery boards because they are gentler.
How to use a nail file?
Make sure your nails are dry before using the nail file. This prevents splitting as commonly seen with wet nails. Hold the file at a 45-degree angle and start at one corner of your nails. File in one direction and use less pressure for a smooth finish. You can shape them into a square or oval shape. This helps to prevent breakage and chipping. Ensure you wash and moisturize your nails after achieving your desired result.
Foot file
Sometimes you might have a layer of dead skin cells on the bottom of your feet. You can use your foot nail to remove this. When you remove these layers and calluses from time to time, it helps to prevent cracked skin on feet.
How to use a foot file?
Before using the foot nail, you need to first soak your feet or hands in warm, soapy water. This helps to soften your skin. After doing this, wet the stone and gently rub it on the target region of your feet. You can also use the foot file to exfoliate the areas around your knees and elbows.
Nail brush
You can use the nail brush to remove stubborn stains and dirt from your nails. This helps to keep your nail clean and free of germs, especially when you use it every day.
How to use a nail brush?
Before using the nail brush, hold it in warm water for some time and add a little amount of anti-bacterial soap on the brush. Then, move the brush across your nails and create lather while doing this. When you are done, you can use a moisturizer to get squeaky and clean nails.
So, now you see that you can maintain and treat your nails from the comfort of your home. The bests manicure and pedicure tools you can use at home include nail cutter, cuticle pusher, cuticle nipper nail buffer, nail file, foot file, and a nail brush. You can save a lot of cash and reduce the stress involved in moving to those exotic saloons for a manicure/pedicure. Go ahead and give yourself some nice treat from the comfort of your home.

I continue on my divisional coverage of predictions for over/under win totals. Today we will focus on the NFC North. A division that has as much talent as any division in the NFL, but has fallen short of living up to it on an annual basis.
Lets see if this is the year that the Lions, Packers, and Bears thrive and give the NFC a run for their money.
Vegas Has It Right On
Green Bay
Many have Green Bay circled as one of the easy picks to topple Vegas's set line of ten wins. They do look like a strong team but surpassing double digit wins is always a challenge. This is a division that hasn't changed much personnel wise. All teams know each other very well. That's a challenge in my mind to get through a division with ease. We've seen it for years in the NFC East, and the same can be said here. Vegas has this one right on. I can see them getting 11 wins, tying the number at ten, or falling just short at 9 wins. I wouldn't put money on them.
Beats The Number
Detroit Lions 8 wins
Talk about a team that had some ugly losses a year ago. Detroit's average season hit a landslide as they dropped their last four games. That finish was the writing on the wall to send former head coach Jim Schwartz packing. Now the question is can Caldwell boost the talent-laden Lions. I believe he can and that the Lions beat the number of 8 wins. All it's going to take is true maturity from a team filled with great young players.
Falls Short
Chicago 8 wins
Throughout the Lovie Smith era this Bears team had its ups and downs. They got to the Super Bowl and had success based on a ferocious defense that had key players everywhere. The defense aged and truly hasn't been the same in a solid three seasons. Marc Trestman is an offensive guy and will continue to thrive this year. I'm just not sold that they get it done even with vast improvement on the defensive side of the ball. They're similar to the Cowboys. They'll be in games and look fantastic in highlights, but when it comes to wins and losses they fall short.
Minnesota Vikings 6 wins
I'm an old Big East college football fanatic. I certainly was down on Geno Smith after watching him at West Virginia before his last season in the Big 12. Teddy Bridgewater is in my eyes going to struggle as well. He is slight of frame for an NFL quarterback and has worse accuracy issues in my estimation than Smith. Over the long haul I believe Bridgewater can become a decent starter but it's going to take some serious growing pains. He was fortunate to play in a watered down Big East and AAC. Louisville's upset win over Florida caused Bridgewater's stock to rise similar to an NCAA basketball player having a great March Madness. Neither a veteran in Matt Cassel or a year one Teddy Bridgewater is capable of getting this team a combined six wins. AP of two years ago isn't coming back anytime soon either.

Court No. - 30
Case :- CONTEMPT APPLICATION (CIVIL)
No. - 1041 of 2016
Applicant :- Pratiksha Singh
Opposite Party :- Ashish Goyal, Principal
Secry., Basic Education
Counsel for Applicant :- Agnihotri Kumar
Tripathi,Anil Kumar Singh
Counsel for Opposite Party :- S.C.
Hon'ble Manoj Misra,J.
These contempt proceedings have been
initiated for violation of the direction
dated 08.10.2015 issued in Writ A No.
48620 of 2015 which reads as under:-
"This writ petition is therefore disposed of
at the admission stage itself with the
consent of learned counsel for the parties
with a direction to the respondent no.1,
Principal Secretary (Basic Education),
Shiksha, U.P. Lucknow to scrutinize and
examine all the OMR/Answer Sheets and
also identify those cases where it has
come on record that the result of even
those candidates have been declared who
have never appeared in the examinations.
This exercise shall be completed within a
period of four months from the date a
certified copy of this order is received in
his office."
The affidavit has been filed by Sri Ashish
Goyal, Principal Secretary (Basic
Education), Govt. of U.P., Lucknow stating
that pursuant to the direction given by
this Court, a meeting of high level officers
was called to ensure compliance and
pursuant to a decision taken in the
meeting, so held, a letter was sent to the
Managing Director, S.K. Printek Data
Create Solution, New Delhi for providing
original OMR Sheets of U.P. TET
Examination-2011 which returned back
with an endorsement that no such firm
exists. In the affidavit, inability has been
expressed to comply with the direction as
the original OMR Sheets were in the
custody of the firm. It has also been stated
that some OMR Sheets have been seized
and they are case property of Case Crime
No. 675 of 2011. In paragraph 14, it has
been stated that due to non-availability of
original OMR Sheets, compliance of the
order dated 08.10.2015 is not possible.
It is quite surprising that when the
bungling was of such a magnitude, instead
of sending a personal messenger to the
agency responsible for processing the
OMR Sheets and maintaining the record
was not approached directly but was
contacted only through a letter which
returned with an endorsement that no
such firm exists and, thereafter, what
efforts were made to trace out the firm
and its office-bearers are not disclosed.
Under the circumstances, this Court
considers it appropriate to direct the
opposite party to file an affidavit
disclosing what efforts were made to trace
out the partners of the firm and if those
firm partners were not traceable whether
any first information report was lodged
against them or not to ensure examination
of the original OMR Sheets, as directed by
this Court.
Let this matter be, therefore, listed on
03rd May, 2016, by which date, the
opposite party will file a better affidavit
disclosing the steps that were taken by
him to ensure compliance of the order
dated 08.10.2015.
Order Date :- 6.4.2016
क्या है मामला
Court No. - 7
Case :- WRIT - A No. - 48620 of 2015
Petitioner :- Sarita Shukla And 2 Others
Respondent :- State Of U.P. And 6 Others
Counsel for Petitioner :- Agnihotri Kumar Tripathi,Anil Singh Bishen
Counsel for Respondent :- C.S.C
Hon'ble B. Amit Sthalekar,J.
Supplementary affidavit filed today is taken on record.
Heard Sri Radha Kant Ojha, learned Senior Counsel assisted by Sri Agnihotri Kumar Tripathi for the petitioners and Sri Mata Prasad, learned Additional Chief Standing Counsel for the State-respondents.
Petitioners are seeking quashing of the result dated 25.11.2011,30.11.2011 and 29.1.2015. Further prayer is for a direction to the respondents to decrease the marks of those candidates whose marks have been increased by six marks.
It has been pointed out by the learned counsel for the petitioner that an enquiry in the matter regarding irregularities in the selection in question was ordered and an enquiry report has been submitted by the Chief Secretary dated 10.4.2012 in which wide scale irregularities have been reported.
With regard to marks it is submitted that in the report submitted by the Enquiry Committee headed by the Principal Secretary dated 10.4.2012 five questions in the Madhya Prathmik Star Pariksha, eight questions in the the Ucch Prathmik Star (Science) seven questions Ucch Prathmik Star (Arts) have been changed. It is also submitted that in the A series of the Prathmik as well as Ucch Prathmik Star question paper 11 questions have been changed. In para-11 of the report it is mentioned that six questions in the Prathmik Star Pariksha, eight questions in the Uchh Prathmik Star Pariksha, two questions in the Prathmik Star Pariksha (Urdu) are also wrong.
In para 22-c of the writ petition it is alleged that in the result of the T.E.T. 2011 issued on 29.1.2015 there are candidates, whose names are mentioned in the list, who were not allotted any roll number. Their name has been shown who were about 1096 in number. In para 22-e a list of other candidates has been mentioned who have been shown Absent in the result declared on 25.11.2011 but their names have been shown as qualified in the TET Examination-2011. This list consists of about 68 names.
This writ petition is therefore disposed of at the admission stage itself with the consent of learned counsel for the parties with a direction to the respondent no.1, Principal Secretary (Basic Education), Shiksha, U.P. Lucknow to scrutinize and examine all the OMR/Answer Sheets and also identify those cases where it has come on record that the result of even those candidates have been declared who have never appeared in the examinations. This exercise shall be completed within a period of four months from the date a certified copy of this order is received in his office.
Order Date :- 8.10.2015/Asha

Finally managed to start watching this. Up to episode 4 now. It's very good and looking forward to watching the rest of the episodes.
Surprised how dark it is, I knew it would be darker than usual Marvel stuff, but it's on a bigger scale than I thought it would be. No complaints from me though. It's got some nice nods to it's universe as well. Helps remind that they're all linked.

Christianity and Its Judaic Heritage: An Introduction with Selected Sources
Christianity and Its Judaic Heritage: An Introduction with Selected Sources
This book is a survey of the Judaic-Christian tradition from the period of Israel's beginnings to the end of the Reformation Era. It is primarily intended for use by undergraduate students in courses dealing with the historical development of the religious tradition which underlies our Western civilization. Courses of this type are now offered in most colleges and universities under such titles as Introduction to Christianity, Introduction to Judaism and Christianity, Survey of the Judaic-Christian Tradition, Religious Tradition of the West, and the like.
In the selection of material, emphasis has been placed upon the formative periods of religious development, when standards and values were being crystallized and given definitive statement. Thus for Judaism the Age of the Mishna is the period when the norms of Jewish religious life were fixed, and it is appropriate that the study of ancient Judaism should culminate in a chanter called "The World of the Talmud." Two chapters of the fifteen dealing with the history of Christianity are devoted to the life and teachings of Jesus because of the centrality of Jesus to the total Christian tradition; and six chapters have been given to the study of the Protestant and Catholic Reformations. The book ends with a study of the rise of modern denominations in seventeenth- century England, the point at which courses dealing with the History of Religion in America normally begin.
A unique feature of this book is the inclusion of primary source materials at the end of each chapter and the integration of these source readings with the text and with the Questions for Study and Discussion which accompany each chapter. Source materials of various types have been used. Among older historical and archaeological materials are included the Israel Stele of Merneptah, the Moabite Stone, the Elephantine Papyri, and descriptions of the Essenes in an-

Royksopp's 'Back to Mine' mix compilation can only be described as Jarlsberg, but that is not to say that a little cheese cannot brighten your day. Although not entirely what you'd expect, the first half of this compilation is nothing but praiseworthy, taking on some of the great eighties electro-pop and shoehorning it into Dimitri-from-Paris-style disco. The effect is all very reminiscent of the late seventies, although the distinct squiggly toy-laser-gun sounds throughout the compilation definitely add a Royksopp touch to remind the listener who is behind it.
The mix kicks off with Talking Heads' 'Rolling Under Punches', and the band sounds nothing less than one of the greats here, but the party really starts when the late-seventies disco kick in. Pino D'angino's 'Ma Quale Idea' pins a commercial bassline to Pino's deep Italian voice – the track is an electromagnetic wave that will force you to dance. Later Mike Oldfield's 'Platinum' and Jesse G's 'That Hot' keep the fun, disco theme alive, with a slightly more down-tempo but funkier angle.
The compilation takes a 180 spin with the appearance of 'Legs' by eighties synth-pop group Art of Noise – a good tune which feels a little out of place here. More in tune with what Royksopp are about are I-Level's '3:am' and Klein & MBO's 'Dirty Talk', both of which are real treats: lo-fi yet fun basslines and synthesised Moog and organ samples are what I was expecting to hear on this compilation - sounds that prefigure the contemporary electronic disco that the likes of Royksopp and Mylo produce.
But it's not all such smooth sailing. 'It Ain't Easy' by the unknown (for good reason) Supermax is a tune you'd be disappointed to hear at a Bangkok hotel night club. Likewise, the tracks by Idris Muhammad and Guy Dalton might have their moments, including sassy soprano sax solos and fun & funky guitar, but the meat of the tracks just don't stand up.
From here, the compilation really goes downhill. Cuts from Valarie Dore and Ginny are good lo-fi eighties pop in their own right, but they're vibe killers here – too downtempo. Royksopp tends to be low-key, but you wouldn't expect them to go this far.
Technically, the mixing on 'Back to Mine' is great and the first twelve tracks are on the whole well placed and nicely selected. But as a mix it climaxes too early and leaves you feeling a little like a child who has had your double scoop ice cream taken from you. All in all, it's the perfect CD for a boozy afterparty in the kitchen, albeit with a built-in comedown.
