3 dIY Exfoliators
Exfoliator. It helps your skin look and feel its best. Do I really need to define it any further? Glad we're on the same page. Here are some do-it-yourself recipes that I plan on trying!
Lemon Sugar Scrub
1)Put sugar in a large bowl. Set aside.
2) Measure out 1/4 cup of coconut oil and place it in a microwave safe bowl.
3) Heat coconut oil in the microwave for about 30 seconds, or until the oil is melted.
4) Pour oil over sugar and mix to combine.
5) Using a zester or small grater, zest the rind of 1 lemon.
6)Then, cut zested lemon in half and, using a juicer, juice the lemon.
7) Remove any seeds from lemon juice.
8) Add lemon juice and zest to the sugar mixture and stir to combine.
(If sugar scrub is still too "wet", add up to 1/2 cup more sugar until desired consistency is reached.)
9) Grab a jar or container of some sort to put the scrub in
Anti-Aging Sugar Scrub Recipe
1) Using a digital kitchen scale begin by weighing out the wax and butters.
2) Heat in a double boiler until melted then weigh out and add the oils.
3) Use a graduated plastic transfer pipette to measure out the rosemary extract and stir into the melted ingredients.
4) Mix well then remove from heat.
5) Once these ingredients have thickened to a gel like state weigh out and add the water and aloe and mix to combine.
6) Measure out the preservative and incorporate into the mixture as well.
7) Lastly, you will weigh out the sugar. Use a fork mix into the scrub base until thoroughly combined.
8) Spoon into a glass or plastic jar.
Natural Vanilla & Pumpkin Spice Salt Scrub
1) Using a digital scale weigh out the sea salt into a glass bowl or Prex measuring cup.
2) Weigh out and stir in the apricot kernel oil, agave syrup and vanilla extract. Now measure out the nutmeg with a measuring spoon and add to the bowl.
3) Using a glass dropper or plastic transfer pipette add the essential oils. Whisk with a fork then spoon into a four ounce container.
4) To use simply slather onto wet skin and massage in. Rinse, then pat dry.

Timbre was featured on the Apple front page that gave the App a lot of coverage and downloads. Timbre App helps you to find the latest music shows and events nearby your location. Everything is presented in a gorgeous user interface that clearly redefines band discovery. It's basically a brand discovery App to let you find the best music being played by leading bands around you. We take a behind the scenes look with this interview and understand how the team managed to pull off such an incredible App.
1. How did you conceive the idea for the App?
It all started with Matt Bridges, CTO of Timbre. He participated in the Boston Innovation Challenge Hackathon in May 2012. The theme of the event was "connecting disconnected communities" which brought together aspiring individuals from different industries to discuss their vision of "connected communities". One local Boston musician described his difficulties in reaching his local audience, despite being able to let his music be heard by people around the world through technology. This issue inspired Matt to create a simple tool to help connect bands with local music lovers.
2. Do you think Apple's offerings for developers for developing Apps is good? Are there any changes required?
We have been fortunate in our success. With no prior connections with Apple, Timbre was featured as the number one New and Noteworthy app during the iPhone 5 launch, which was both incredibly humbling and tremendously valuable for the company. As we released the latest update with international support and a Grammy's playlist, Timbre was featured in the "New and Noteworthy" category in multiple countries including Canada, Australia, New Zealand; as well as being the "banner featured app" in the US, UK and Mexico. It's safe to say that our success so far has been a combination of a killer product and a little bit of luck.
3. What is your marketing strategy? What marketing techniques do you use to promote your App in this heavily competitive application space?
We love being in the Boston/Cambridge community. We can't say enough about how awesome it is to be a startup in this vibrant space. Initially, Timbre was as an internal project developed out of its parent company Intrepid Pursuits. The first working prototype of Timbre received phenomenal feedback from beta testers in the community. After four months of development effort and many iterations of working prototypes, the team created the user experience that Timbre offers today.
It's safe to say we had very limited marketing bandwidth and budget when Timbre was first released. Fortunately for us, Timbre was picked up by major press outlets such as TechCrunch and New York Times, and at the same time we received tremendous support from the Boston community. While the "grassroots marketing" approach has worked great for us, we are developing a more structured and streamlined marketing strategy as we have very ambitious plans coming up in the next 6 months. In fact, we just hired a Director of Marketing. Big things are on the horizon.
4. Can you describe your "Eureka" moment while developing the App?
Timbre's mission is focused around creating a simple and innovative tool to connect music lovers with their local music scene. The "Eureka" moment came when we decided to make Timbre a purely location based music discovery app – instead of adding other features that "seemed" necessary for a music discovery app. As we discussed the first working prototype, we debated on whether we should add filters for genre, venue and artist. Matt insisted on featuring location as the only search filter, quoting "Good design sometimes is about what you don't do, instead of what you do".
5. How did you come to decide the price that you would be charging users to purchase your App?
Timbre will always be free to use without any advertisements. We believe Timbre's focus in the music industry opens multiple revenue channels that we can explore without charging our users or featuring ads in the app.
A good example is ticket sales. In 2011, worldwide concert ticket sales accounted for $10.3B of the music market. Half of those tickets were purchased through a digital medium (online/mobile) and this trend is growing. Strategic partnerships in ticket sales will enable Timbre to become a retailer of concert tickets that will help our users locate, sample and purchase tickets to a variety of concerts and festivals.
6. What gave you the kick to convert your idea into reality? What kept you awake all night long?
The majority of performing musicians rely on ticket and merchandise sales in order to earn a sustainable income. While they are able to sell their music on a variety of online music stores, digital music sales only account for a maximum of 40% of the income of an average musician. In addition, from a consumer standpoint, discovering live music can prove to be a real challenge. Every venue has its own show list, ticket providers can only promote the shows they sell tickets for, and there is no way to sample each band in your area easily. Timbre seeks to solve these problems by providing an unbiased platform for music fans to discover shows in their local area.
7. Your thoughts on paid marketing? Paid ads, reviews, sponsorship and more. What made your App's marketing plan successful?
Paid marketing is something we have not yet explored, and there is a chance that we might not consider doing so, at least in the next 6 months. As mentioned earlier, our success so far has been a combination of a killer product and a little bit of luck. While we are enjoying the love from Apple and the support from the community, the utmost importance for us is to stay true to the simple and intuitive UI and continue improving the user experience of Timbre.
The seed funding we raised recently definitely allows us to grow at a much faster speed. Much of the funds will be applied to more development of Timbre, as we have ambitious plans coming up that will add great value to the current experience of the app. One new feature we are very excited about is the seasonal curated playlists. Ahead of the Grammys, we added a playlist of every single nominee so our users could listen to the nominated songs and albums of all 82 awards. This playlist will later be updated to seasonal playlists for national and local music festivals (like SXSW), Tastemakers' lists and the like.
8. Your App was recently featured by Apple on the App Store. How much % does it have an impact on sales? How do you think an App can get featured?
Being featured by Apple has been incredibly valuable for us. When Timbre was first launched in Sept 2012, the app was featured as the #1 "New and Noteworthy" app during the iPhone 5 launch. The timing was absolutely fantastic as Timbre was on the main page of App Store when iPhone 5 users started downloading apps on their new iPhones. Timbre managed to attract more than 100,000 downloads in the first 6 weeks, and to date, we have seen more than 2 million artists discoveries and 70,000 ticket requests made through the app.
The App is available for free from the App Store. Get it now.

City of Rotterdam
A city with world class architecture, an open and cosmopolitan atmosphere and a hip & happening art, festival and culinary scene. There's always something to see or do in Rotterdam. International acclaim supports the new elan of Rotterdam as top international destination. Lonely Planet declared Rotterdam as one of the top cities in the world for travellers in 2016. Other international accolades include Must See City 2014 (NY Times)
Rotterdam has a rich cultural life. Renowned museums, art institutions and galleries display the most controversial art, both old and new. Outdoors you also come across the most beautiful artworks and graffiti.
Known for its spectacular harbor, but with Hoek of Holland it also has a beautiful beach where you can experience a lot of things. And … Rotterdam is also one of the greenest cities in the Netherlands with parks such as the Kralingse Bos, Vroesenpark and The Park at the Euromast.
If you love architecture, Rotterdam is definitely worth a visit. In the city centre, historic buildings and characteristic post-war reconstruction architecture clash cheerfully with the hypermodern skyscrapers built in more recent decades. The Cube Houses, Erasmus bridge, Rotterdam Central Station and the Markthal: visit them by yourself or book one of the many (guided) city tours.
Rotterdam itself has much to offer but is also the perfect base from which to visit cities, nature, beaches and the attractions in the area. Get on your bike and/or take public transportation and you'll find yourself there in no time: from the bustling Rotterdam Maasvlakte and the vast dunes of Hoek van Holland to the royal city and seat of the government, The Hague and the traditional Dutch windmills at Kinderdijk. On this page, you will discover what there is to do nearby Rotterdam.

Mark 41 Again he began to teach by the seaside. A great multitude was gathered to him, so that he entered into a boat in the sea, and sat down. All the multitude were on the land by the sea. 2 Then he taught them many things in parables, and told them in his teaching, 3 "Listen! Behold, the farmer went out to sow, 4 and it happened, as he sowed, some seed fell by the road, and the birds ▼
▼ NU M P Vg. TR adds "of the air"came and devoured it. 5 Others fell on the rocky ground, where it had little soil, and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of soil. 6 But when the sun had risen, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away. 7 Others fell among the thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit. 8 Others fell into the good ground, and yielded fruit, growing up and increasing. Some brought forth thirty times, some sixty times, and some one hundred times as much." 9 He said, "Whoever has ears to hear, let him hear."
10 When he was alone, those who were around him with the twelve asked him about the parables. 11 And he said to them, "To you has been given ▼
▼ M TR add "to know"the mystery of the Kingdom of God, but to those who are outside, all things are done in parables, 12 that 'seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest perhaps they should return and be forgiven ▼
▼ M TR read "and their sins be forgiven them" instead of "be forgiven".'" ▼
▼ Isaiah 6:9-10
13 And he said to them, "Do you not understand this parable? How will you understand all of the parables? 14 The farmer sows the word. 15 The ones by the road are the ones where the word is sown; and when they have heard, immediately Satan comes, and takes away the word which has been sown in them ▼
▼ M TR read "in their hearts" instead of "in them". 16 These ▼
▼ M TR add "in like manner"are those who are sown on the rocky places, who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with joy. 17 They have no root in themselves, but are short-lived. When oppression or persecution arises because of the word, immediately they stumble. 18 And others ▼
▼ M TR read "These" instead of "And others"are those who are sown among the thorns; these are the ones who have heard the word, 19 but the cares of the ▼
▼ M TR read "this" instead of "the"age, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful. 20 But those which were sown on the good ground are those who hear the word, and accept it, and bear fruit, some thirty times, some sixty times, and some one hundred times."
21 And he said to them, "Is the lamp brought to be put under a basket ▼
▼ literally, a modion, a dry measuring basket containing about a peck (about 9 litres)or under a bed? Is not it put on a stand? 22 For there is nothing hidden, except that it should be made known; neither was anything made secret, but that it should come to light. 23 If any man has ears to hear, let him hear."
24 And he said to them, "Take heed what you hear. With whatever measure you measure, it will be measured to you, and more will be given to you ▼
▼ M TR add "who hear". 25 For whoever has, more will be given, and he who does not have, even that which he has will be taken away from him."
26 And he said, "The Kingdom of God is as if a man should cast seed on the earth, 27 and should sleep and rise night and day, and the seed should spring up and grow, he does not know how. 28 For the earth bears fruit: first the blade, then the ear, then the full grain in the ear. 29 But when the fruit is ripe, immediately he puts forth the sickle, because the harvest has come."
30 And he said, "To what will we liken the Kingdom of God? Or with what parable will we use for it? 31 It's like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown in the earth, though it is less than all the seeds that are on the earth, 32 yet when it is sown, grows up, and becomes greater than all the herbs, and puts out great branches, so that the birds of the sky can lodge under its shadow."
33 With many such parables he spoke the word to them, as they were able to hear it. 34 Without a parable he did not speak to them; but privately to his own ▼
▼ M TR omit "own"disciples he explained everything.
35 On that day, when evening had come, he said to them, "Let us go over to the other side." 36 Leaving the multitude, they took him with them, even as he was, in the boat. Other ▼
▼ M TR add "small"boats were also with him. 37 A big wind storm arose, and the waves beat into the boat, so much that the boat ▼
▼ M TR read "it" instead of "the boat"was already filled. 38 He himself was in the stern, asleep on the cushion, and they woke him up, and told him, "Teacher, do you not care that we are dying?"
39 And he awoke, and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, "Peace! Be still!" The wind ceased, and there was a great calm. ▼
▼ Psalm 65:7; 89:9; 107:2940 And he said to them, "Why are you so afraid? Do ▼
▼ M TR read "How" instead of "Do"you still have no faith?"
41 And they were greatly afraid, and said to one another, "Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?"

text: Bill Report post Posted May 28, 2014 Ok. It's been a while since I've been here. Not that I haven't been reading, but since I've posted anything. I have to come right out and admit that I am completely guilty of slacking and ruining a great streak that I had going for me a while back. I am still doing the SL 5x5 program now, but my problem was that I stopped last year in December when I went on a cruise with my wife and for whatever reason I completely went out of my routine. I lifted for a week here and there between then and March and I got to the point where I just lost all interest in lifting. Even though I know it's my own fault and stupidity, I don't really know what kept me off the weights since that cruise. Well, the vacation has been over, and I've decided to get off my ass. Here's my scoop. I've been going at it hard on SL 5x5 since the beginning of April and I've been very consistent. My diet didn't change too much. Just didn't do any overeating but the junk was still mixed in there. Finally, as of a couple weeks ago, the best thing ever has happened to me... My wife has started lifting with me. I've been waiting for her to want to do this for over a year. She is so gung-ho and into this now that it's also given me a new perspective on it too. I love working out now more than ever because we're doing it together. We have both formed a pact a week ago. Our objective, whether it takes 6 months or 5 years, is to do everything right from here on out and get the bodies we've always wanted. I want to lose my midsection and get definition throughout my body, and she wants to lose some excess and get a good sculpt eventually too. My main question for this is... We're both doing SL 5x5 at the moment. I'm just finally getting back up to squatting 270+ and catching up to all my other PRs, and she's been starting with the bar on the exercises and building up very well. I know that fat loss is all about diet and calorie intake, but as it stands right now I know nothing about macro counting and stuff life that. I have reading to do. My main daily diet right now pretty much consists of this: Breakfast: 2 or 3 eggs and a glass of 1% milk. Lunch: Romaine hearts salad with some raw mushrooms topped with a can of tuna and catalina dressing. Dinner: Usually another salad with dressing and a 4oz piece of either boneless/skinless chicken breast or a steak. (If payday was good that week!) On workout days only I'll have 2 scoops of whey chocolate shake right after my workout. I drink water and Arizona Diet Green Tea throughout the day. I've cut out nearly all breads, snacks, cupcakes, pies, candies, etc. I eat something tasty for dinner like General Tso's chicken or something one day each weekend. I don't have dumplings or rice or anything else though. Just the Tso's and broccoli. I figure that kind of diet all week can't be too bad for me right? I'm really trying to cut down calories and crap food hardcore while keeping my protein intake around 150 grams. I haven't lost any energy for workouts. I seem to get through them like I should. I make sure I get 8 hours of sleep on most days. I know for a fact that I look better than I did a year and a half ago. My arms are not as fat-thick and my face has thinned out a little bit. The funny thing is I hardly lost any weight on the scale, but I don't really use the scale much anyway. If I keep eating the way I am and being diligent about my workout schedule, does it look like I'm doing things right for the goal I'm shooting for? I'm not asking to look like Arnold. I just want to look good and not be fat at all any more. Having my wife lift with me has really opened my eyes and has given my the mindset I think I've needed since I bought my weights. Now I just want to make sure I do the best I can. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I ate large quantities of raw fish yesterday as part of a birthday celebration, so today it seemed only right to make up for it by grilling up a few ribeye steaks.
These weren't your ordinary beef ribeye steaks, but instead were bison steaks. Fewer calories and fat than the same amount of chicken, but all the taste you would expect from a nice marbled beef ribeye. Not only that, but it went well with the trashbag taters.
Now I get to run off to a Booster meeting and show Pigdog what he missed out on by staying at work so late.
That ought to teach him to fire up a grill in my honor and not invite me over to partake in whatever he cooked on it…

Most important martial arts lesson: What we give is the basis of what we leave behind.
Greatest martial arts benefit: Martial arts forces us to understand our bodies and our minds. There is no better indicator of health than a daily martial arts routine. It provides an instant measure of strength and weakness and a life-long method for living with oneself physically and emotionally. We carry this understanding into all other areas of life.

The most important lesson I want to impart to my students is that they should continuously push themselves to be better than they are, inside and outside of the dojang.
The greatest benefit of martial arts is that it instills confidence, in martial arts and in other aspects of life. You may start off saying "this is too hard," but over time, you'll realize you've started saying, "I've got this."

Demo team member 2011-2014. Family class award 2013.
I started in an old Okinawan/Japanese style in 2004 when I was 7, I learned a lot there and it has influenced my fighting style in many ways. From there, I transferred to DMAA with my mother and siblings, and since then DMAA has had the most profound impact on my life, encouraging me to push myself to new levels of skill in forms, sparring, and giving me the opportunity to learn my favorite weapon: the sword.
The most important thing I want to impart to my students is determination and intensity. Every student has a limit to what they are able to do: to how many pushups they can do, or how long they can hold a horse stance, but through determination, everyone can get a little stronger, a little faster, a little more flexible each class.

First of all I want to thank the locals for their hospitality, what an amazing spot!
First day of my 2 day trip together with Paul.
Not a good preparation for a top day like this... Forgot my correct mast for this sail (sail felt heavy and didn't accelerate) and went way too late on the water. No time to get used to the spot and conditions, even don't have 5 descent runs.
Speeds aren't bad but looking at Jacques and Gerlof I just know I could have gone a lot quicker... Congrats to both of you with the amazing speeds and Tjitse for his PR run!

Just this weekend I heard my MIL say..."the problem with this country is all the rich people". I am still in shock by that comment. I shouldn't be, she is a huge lefty from Chicago.
I agree with her except the problem is they keep donating to NObama and other dims instead of rising up to protest high taxes and wasteful spending. She is half-right.

New Delhi: Paying homage to Bharat Ratna Dr Bhimrao Ambedkaron his 125th birth anniversary, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday said that the architect of the Indian Constitution was a 'Vishwa Manav', who devoted his life in service of the poor and the marginalised.
"On his Jayanti, I bow to the venerable Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar. Jai Bhim.," Prime Minister Modi tweeted.
The Prime Minister also said that Dr Ambedkar always believed in the power of education.
"His economic vision was unique, with a strong emphasis on welfare of the farmer as well as worker," he said.

The high-profile 3DSWare releases continue, as hot on the heels of Nintendo's Pushmo and WayForward's Mighty Switch Force comes VVVVVV, a new eShop version of the popular PC platformer. VVVVVV first made a name for itself in 2010 thanks to its unpronounceable title, its Commodore 64-era visual design and its devilish difficulty all centered on one gameplay mechanic -- inverting gravity. Flipping a hero upside-down to walk on the ceiling had been seen before in gaming, but VVVVVV's version of inversion was brilliantly brutal.
Thankfully, it's still just as fun as ever to die, and die, and die again as you try to guide the pixel-simple Captain Viridian on his quest to rescue the stranded members of his spaceship crew -- the game intends for you to fail frequently, and copious checkpoint placement assures that you'll always respawn nearby after any unsuccessful attempt to guide the good Captain through corridors of spikes, or hallways full of enemies, or both. This 3DS version is also a bit more comfortable to control -- thanks to the 3DS's Circle Pad and actual buttons taking the place of a PC keyboard -- and it's a bit more content-robust than you might expect, thanks to its inclusion of several new levels designed by fans (including one by Notch, our 2011 Games Person of the Year).
Where VVVVVV comes up short, though, is in its visuals. The game's natural 4:3 aspect ratio is preserved -- which purists will prefer over any stretching effects that could have been applied -- but that means there's a lot of unused real estate on the left and right sides of the upper screen. The 3D effect that's been added here is disappointing too, as it offers only a very weak sense of depth to the flat worlds the Captain explores. As with 3D Classics: Kirby's Adventure, trying to tack on stereoscopics to a sprite-based game likes this is only minimally interesting.
What's worse, there's an odd "ghosting" after-effect that shows up on foreground elements here when you activate the 3D at even a low level of intensity. Just a really poor application all around. Keep the slider dialed down for this one.
Lastly, I've got to take some issue with the pricing applied here -- $7.99 is too steep for a port like this, especially in the wake of eShop exclusives Pushmo and Mighty Switch Force both being sold cheaper. When you put the issues together, it makes me think that VVVVVV was probably intended to be an 800 Point DSiWare release instead of coming only to the 3DS. Would've been more impressive in that format, too.
As it is, VVVVVV is still a spike-lined, death-packed good time. Its steeper price and wimpy 3D just make it feel like more of a straightforward PC port and less like something truly special for the eShop.
3DS eShop: $7.99

Bionic Commando
That means the more exciting option for 3DS owners this week might be this Virtual Console game instead -- especially for anyone who's already played through VVVVVV before and doesn't feel like spending eight bucks to run its gauntlet again. Bionic Commando comes to the 3DS VC as a port of a 1992 Game Boy game, which was itself a pseudo-port/remake of the NES Bionic Commando title from the late '80s.
You've probably heard of this series before -- it's the franchise that equips its heroes with extendable grappling hooks for arms and takes away the common platformer ability to jump. Yes, that's right -- you can't jump at all. So you instead have to strategically make use of the ceilings and walls around you as latch points -- sending out your bionic arm like Spider-Man shoots out his webs -- and swing yourself from place to place.
It takes some getting used to, but Bionic Commando should ultimately feel fresh for anyone who's never tackled a 2D entry in its series before. And even if you have, chances are this particular installment hasn't ever come across your radar.
The game pairs its side-scrolling, arm-swinging action sequences with some strategic maneuvering across a map screen, as you direct a helicopter to carry you into both hostile and neutral territories. Your ultimate goal is the rescue of the missing hero Super Joe, and you'll gather several gun and communicator upgrades along the way -- as well as farming collectible cartridges from fallen foes to extend your life meter and wire-tapping enemy communication networks to gain info about what the bad guys are up to.
Having never played this specific Bionic Commando game myself prior to this 3DS re-release, I've got to admit to being pleasantly surprised by how much is here for your investment of four bucks. The style and amount of content here rivals other great Game Boy games from Capcom in the early '90s -- fans of Gargoyle's Quest, which was re-released itself to the 3DS Virtual Console a few months ago, should especially take notice.
3DS eShop: $3.99
3DS eShop: $3.99
And that's a wrap for 2011! It was a great year for Nintendo downloadables, no doubt about that. (Just read my "Year in the Life of Nintendo's eShop" for a grander overview.)
2012 is shaping up to be even bigger, though, with notable 3DS exclusives like Sakura Samurai: Art of the Sword, Dillon's Rolling Western and Mutant Mudds scheduled to arrive soon. We'll kick of our 2012 eShop coverage this Thursday with another anticipated 3DSWare release too -- Samurai Sword Destiny. It's on deck to drop on January 5, so come back to IGN then to read all about it. Thanks for reading our weekly eShop Updates throughout 2011, and Happy New Year once again!

Lights dimming on Eskom IDM programs
- font size decrease font size increase font size
And like that… they were (almost) gone! If you happen to be one of the companies currently investigating upgrading the energy-efficiency of your plant or business, you might have been privy to a
letter from our electricity parastatal announcing the revised rebates for their Integrated Demand Management (IDM) incentive programs.
Whilst NERSA has curbed the allowed increases in electricity tariffs – which is good news for our productivity and pocket – a side effect is that there is now less money to fund these important programs to save energy. In fact, a recent report showed that the IDM programs have to try and deliver 89% of the original savings targets with only 40% of the budget they applied for. That's like trying to win an F1 race with a Datsun Pulsar.
The IDM programs have been quite successful: since inception in 2004, the cumulative savings have amounted to that of an average power station pushing out 3.6Gw. So just by changing light bulbs, using solar panels and heat pumps, we've not needed to build another power station. And those savings are only recorded from registered projects.
Vincent Lane, of Grey Green Sustainable Energy Engineering, puts it another way. "The IDM programs pay R5.25m.MW to save energy. Using approximate figures for the sake of comparison, if we were to replace that installed capacity with wind turbines, it would cost R15mil/MW and with Solar, even more at R20m/MW." Clearly, taking power off the grid seems like a far more practical and indeed cheaper way to reduce the burden on big old Eskom - at least from an immediate energy requirement point of view. Lane adds: "The energy-saving interventions that IDM programs offer are also likely to be far more effective when compared to these renewables – mainly because more energy can be saved in a year in comparison to what wind and solar could possibly generate in the same time. This is when one compares the capacity factors of solar and wind farms to the load factors of energy efficiency projects."
As of 12 October, Eskom's funding drops from R5.25m/MW to R3.5mil/MW. Simply put, the rebates for the energy savings are going to get smaller. Before you kick yourself too hard for being too slow to join Eskom's IDM charitable handouts, all is not lost. The rebate will still be there albeit smaller. The quicker you get on board and plan an energy-efficient lighting upgrade, the better. Energy-efficient experts like Grey Green and Lighting Revolution are the types of companies that are geared to maximize the rebate for your solution, which in the end puts money straight to the bottom line.
Eskom IDM incentive programs are conceived to keep the lights on. Our companies should too.

Isla Contoy is a must for nature lovers: an absolutely breathtaking island of pristine beauty with an abundant wildlife. Daily, only a few visitors are allowed access. Don't miss your chance to be one of them!
Its pristine landscape, secluded sandy beaches and crystal clear waters make you feel like you are a part of nature yourself. The side facing the open sea is formed by dramatic rocks, while the opposite side has heavenly white beaches. To minimize the impact of tourism on the islands natural resources, access is restricted to only 200 visitors per day. But with an actual daily average of less than 100 visitors, it makes the tour a very exclusive experience.
The island is a true gem, located 30 km north of Isla Mujeres, measuring about 8,5 km in length and only 500 m in width. It is protected by the Mexican Government since 1961, and 1998 it was declared a National Park.
Over 150 bird species inhabit Isla Contoy and it's an important nesting place for turtles. The reef is home to many animals, which are easy to observe in the clear and shallow waters. The manta rays living there are curious and approach arriving boats and even swimmers without fear. Apart from its rich flora and fauna, only a handful of biologists live temporarily on Isla Contoy, to monitor and study the island's ecosystem and guide the visitors.
The easiest way to visit Isla Contoy is to book a tour. Only a few companies are permitted to bring tours to the island, and they only sail out 2 or 3 times per week, usually every Wednesday and Sunday from Isla Mujeres or Cancun. It takes about one to two hours to get there, and it can be a rough boat ride, so make sure to bring some medicine for travel sickness if you have a sensitive stomach. If you rented a boat and want to get there on your own, you need to apply for permission in the park offices in Cancun or Isla Mujeres.
On the island is a visitor's center with a pier, a museum and a souvenir store, a resting area where you will be served freshly caught fish, a watch tower that offers stunning views over the island and two walking paths to discover the area. You will see lots of animals and lie at the most beautiful beaches you've probably been to.
Make sure you bring (biodegradable) sunscreen and repellent when you visit the island, binoculars if you wish to observe its wildlife and your camera of course!
For more information or to book a tour, ask our Concierge Carlos or our staff at the front desk.

Professional Tryout Contracts: The New Normal?
As training camps open across the NHL today, teams are releasing their roster of players who will be participating in all the fun preseason brings. Along with the stalwarts, regulars and recent draft picks attending, fans may have noticed a few teams who have players with the acronym, "PTO" listed next to their name. For those of you who may not know, "PTO" stands for Professional Tryout; players who are undrafted/unrestricted free agents and have no contract offers are often resigned to signing a PTO contract. They are invited to training camp and can play every preseason game in the hopes of proving their worth before the team makes a decision to either offer said player an NHL/AHL contract or cut him loose. Teams also have the option to send a player on a PTO down to their minor league affiliate for up to 25 games at which time a decision to sign him to a Standard Player Contract (SPC) or to outright release him needs to be made.
As of today, 74 players are signed to PTO contracts heading into camp. These contracts were usually reserved for past-their-prime players who were looking for one last kick at the can, but going through the list, there are a few names that may surprise you. Curtis Glencross, Michal Rozsival, Andrej Meszaros and Tomas Fleischmann are just a few of the players on PTO's who, as recently as two seasons ago, would be signed to a Standard Player Contract in a heartbeat. Each of the above mentioned players were highly regarded and effective players on their respective teams and were coveted pieces come trade deadline. So, why the rise in PTO contracts? The problem is two-fold. For starters, the salary cap is a huge influence on GM's when it comes to player contracts. Not only do some GM's have to worry about not going over the cap, some have to worry about being under the cap; which brings us to the second problem.
The state of the NHL today sees many players over-value themselves and what they are worth. Experts will point to the "market" being a major factor in this, I point to certain abundantly wealthy owners (ahem, MLSE) signing third and fourth line players (ahem, David Clarkson) to ludicrous contracts. Teams are shying away from signing players who average 35-40 points a season to long-term, big money deals and opting to go with prospects and youth, who are cheaper and more controllable. Those average players and their agents then decide to play a game of chicken with NHL GM's which they inevitable lose, as was the case with Cody Franson who signed a two-year, $6.6 million contract with the Buffalo Sabres on Sept. 10th; far less term and dollar value than he was seeking. Conversely, teams such as Phoenix and Florida who are desperate to get to the cap floor will invite formally productive players such as Martin Havlat and David Booth to camp in hopes that they show enough talent to be signed to one-year, league minimum contracts. Signing three players for $550,000 each makes a lot more sense for a cash-strapped team than signing one player for $2 million.
This is the new NHL where the salary cap rules the day and teams are far too skittish to albatross themselves with high-priced, mediocre talent and are willing to roll the dice, sift through their options in hopes they land a bargain who can help their club.

Maybe you've never found yourself on the high-wire of God's sovereignty and your responsibility? But I have and I can tell you it's a place where even the great Wallendas would find unnerving. For at that place one faces the enigmatic juxtaposition of who is really in charge of any given destiny. It's a question that's been argued from ages past and will be for ages to come. And it's never easily answered on a Sunday or Wednesday night.
Much like King David in the Bible, I've always had a deep fear of presuming upon God's grace, let alone anyone else's (Psalm 19:13 KJV). So that's the platform I'm working from. I never want to presume that I can rest upon God or anyone else, to the exclusion of my own responsibility or fidelity. I do desire as David did, not to be found guilty of the great sin of presumption. For therein lays the challenge to the Cross. How much of this is me, versus how much of Him?
For as I lay there on my side I whispered these words in prayer: "Jesus I feel like I've lost My Way."
Within minutes a holy response flooded my heart and mind. I believe God said: "You have… and that's good my son." What? Seriously, what did He say? It's good to lose My Way?
Like dough proofing becoming ready for the holy fire of His divine oven, something dawned on me that could only have come from His sovereignty heart. My struggle is not, nor ever will it be with a particular vice or avarice, but with Isaiah's prophetic declaration over all of humanity. We all "like sheep have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way; but the Lord has caused the iniquity of us all to fall on Him" (Isaiah 53:6 NASB).
There it is. The problem: My Way. You see, none of us will be found guilty and standing on the edge of hell because of any one particular vice or avarice, but we will be found guilty of doing things our own way. Elvis was wrong.
Can you get your mind around this truth? At any given moment there are only two ways to travel in life. Two parallel lanes to travel, one lane is God's and one is mine. If I travel in God's lane, regardless of my failings or my degree of humanity I will end up in Life eternal. But if I travel in my lane, despite any presumption upon grace and religion, I will end up in death eternal. Always keeping in mind, there is a way that seems right unto man, but in the end it leads to death (Proverbs 14:12; 16:25).
So there I lay; hearing my own words on losing my way, and then hearing the divine echo of His words telling me that my condition was good. For as I found the due reality of my own way and loss; I found the true reality of His willful and deliberate gain – through His loss. Unlike mine that was wrenched from my hand, He willingly gave it all.
If and when I finally come to the place of accepting that My Way is most often the worst way, it is then that I will tumble into the best way – His Way. Get it?
I'm a real wussy when it comes to uncertainty and the vague unknowns of an emerging horizon line of life. But one thing I am not: a man willing to lie about his heart and experience in Christ or life. For my inner man cannot be calmed nor subdued with mere Christian cliché or bravado, but truth alone about myself and Him are the only waters to slake a thirsty and honest soul (Psalm 51:6).
My Way – losing it just may have been the BEST thing I've ever lost. And you?

Gilroy paramedics pronounced a man dead after a Gilroy man taking his routine morning walk discovered a bloody body lying in the bushes behind Mi Pueblo grocery store on First Street and Wayland Lane around 7:45 a.m. Wednesday.
The Santa Clara Coroner's Office identified the man as Timothy Ozuna, a 47-year-old Hispanic transient.
Gilroy Police are conducting a death investigation, and have revealed few details about the incident, but Police Sgt. Chad Gallacinao said the man had no obvious signs of a gunshot wound.
Felix Manuel Chavira said he was coming home from a walk this morning when he saw a man laying near a flowering oleander bush in the back parking lot of Mi Pueblo, which shares a fence with his house on Wayland Lane.
Chavira said a puddle of blood surrounded Ozuna's body. Within minutes of his discovery, a female employee from Mi Pueblo came outside and called 911.
"I looked at his chest, and it wasn't rising or falling, and when the medics arrived, I overheard them say 'he's cold,'" Chavira said.
Chavira believed the dead man to be homeless, and although he did not recognize the face of the man, he said that homeless people routinely sleep in the bushes behind his backyard.
Without really getting a good look at the body, Chavira said he saw no punctures that looked like gunshot or stab wounds. He did note that there was an abrasion to his forehead.
Chavira said he often worries about his grandchildren when they come to visit, as it is common for homeless people to be near his house, drinking during the day.
"I am always outside if they are outside, because anything could happen in a split second," he said.
Police have not confirmed any details about the body of the man, and how he may have died.
"We can't talk about it right now," said Sgt. Chad Gallacinao. "Right now, it's a death investigation."
Check back for more details as they become available.
