Peter Jakob Kühn
Ever heard of Dunkelfelder? If not don't be alarmed - if I wasn't such a German wine nerd I probably had not heard of it either. It is a rare grape variety that doesn't have the best reputation, but it does have one of the coolest alternative names in wine classification: "Froelich V 4-4". Well, if you like to name your grapes after super weapons perhaps. Leaving unusual names aside, Dunkelfelder is one of the varieties that went into the 2005 vintage of "Pur Pur", and so eventually into my wine glass.
Is the Dunkelfelder wine a secret weapon or yet another of these German oddities we sometimes write about?
Two years ago, I reminisced about student days and staircases. Last year, I got all corduroy trousers and turtleneck sweater about the term "elite". Somewhat disappointingly, this has not stopped Dallmayr, the renowned Munich delicatessen store, from again using the name Winzerelite (wine making elite) for their annual spring tasting of German and Austrian estates. Clearly, we needed to try another tack with Dallmayr, who this year actually invited us to attend as - imaging our proudly beaming faces - press. From a friendly chat with Dallmayr's public relations guy, we gathered that they were happy to have bloggers spread the word, but not yet sure how to understand their reach compared to print journalism. Not a scepticism that you often hear in the English-speaking wine world these days, but we were happy to rise to the occasion: a new journalistic approach was clearly called for here.
We decided not to come along with a preconceived set of questions but to actually let the winemakers steer the conversation. We asked the men and women manning the stalls to pour us just one wine, their most important one. That should not have to be the most expensive one, nor necessarily the best, we insisted, but simply the one most worth talking about. And then we tasted, and we listened.
Last weekend I organised a wine tasting of a different type for my colleagues. I had particularly high hopes that one of the wines would shine, a Riesling from Rheingau winemaking wizard Peter Jakob Kühn. In the past, I have had some truly stunning wines from Kühn, and I had heard good things about his work with the difficult 2010 vintage. At the tasting though the biodynamic Riesling was overshadowed - in being controversial by a Franconian Silvaner and in receiving general praise by an Austrian Grüner Veltliner.
Not that the Riesling was bad, mind you, but in its leanness it was a little more quiet than I had hoped for. When we divided up the spoils of the night, I grabbed a half full bottle and took it home with me to inquire further.
As a wine drinking year, 2010 was not without its disappointments. Among them, a Bacchus that bored us to tears, a burgundy that let us down - and, most grimly, a swamp gas attack from the Loire that we would rather not talk about just yet. The ritual that helps us get over these low points is the yearly selection of the Wine Rambler's top five german wines. The shortlist was substantial as always, and the choice was not taken lightly - and by the way, one of our favourite daydreams is that sentences like this might one day cause actual nervousness among german wine makers.
So, national anthem, please, for the winners:
It is moments like this when I feel a little embarrassed to write about a wine. I often wish we had more wines to complain about so that we can prove that we are wine bloggers of the really critical sort. However, this is a blog about the wines we drink for pleasure, not for profit, so we try as hard as possible to find wines that we think we might like. When I bought this Riesling from the Rheingau, I hoped it would be good, really good. I had no idea it would be so good that even after going to bed I could still be heard mumbling 'this is fantastic'. Before you read on be warned though: you may seriously hate this wine.

When you hear "Jeskai Black," what do you think of? Maybe it's Pantheon's Command and Tasigur deck from Pro Tour Battle for Zendikar, or perhaps it's my updated version of that deck from #SCGATL that was based on Todd Anderson's idea of cutting Mantis Rider and turning it into a control deck.
In this case, it's an updated version of Team Lotus's Stormchaser Mage burn deck. Despite having the same name, these decks play out wildly differently. Tenjum's deck is definitely tempo-based, as he's got a pile of threats (including Mantis Rider), plus things like Jeskai Charm and Goblin Dark-Dwellers.
Unsurprisingly, Reflector Mage finds another home in this deck as well. It's one of those generically good cards that seems to be finding its way into everything. Similarly, Chandra, Flamecaller sits at the top end of this deck. Either it provides the last few points of damage, wipes the board, or gives you the gas you need to close the game.
However you plan on constructing your Jeskai Black deck, you can't really go wrong. Pick a plan and stick with it. It doesn't matter what strategy you go with because Jeskai Black has the tools to make it work. The only thing that matters is you picking a version you like and will play well.

Yogi's poison is Didi's meat- Kanpur tanneries test Calcutta waters
Around 20 tanneries based in Kanpur and Chennai are exploring the possibility of investing in Calcutta at a time cow vigilantism in the heartland has affected the availability of leather.
The shortage has been compounded in Uttar Pradesh by a crackdown on s-called illegal abattoirs, launched by the Adityanath government as soon as the BJP swept to power in the state.
The Uttar Pradesh overdrive, combined with the lethal attacks on cattle transporters in several parts of the country, has spread concern in the $17.85-billion leather industry in the country. However, probably because of the political sensitivities at play, few wanted to draw a direct link between the exploration in Bengal and the events in Uttar Pradesh.
Officials in Nabanna, the Bengal secretariat, said the 20 tanneries were planning cumulative investments of around Rs 1,000 crore in Bengal.
Such projections do not always materialise fully. But the very fact that some investors are proposing to invest in Bengal on their own signifies economic as well as political dividends for Mamata Banerjee who has spoken out repeatedly and unequivocally against attempts to target minorities by controlling dietary habits and means of livelihood.
Sources in Nabanna said the tanners from Chennai and Kanpur - two prominent leather goods manufacturing centres - had themselves sought an appointment with industries and finance minister Amit Mitra through the Council of Leather Exports (CLE), the largest trade promotion organisation for the leather industry.
"They want to come to Bengal. They have sought 200,000 square metres in the Calcutta Leather Complex at Bantala. We have promised to help them secure space at the earliest," Mitra said after the meeting with the representatives of the CLE. If the proposals translate into projects, around 6,000 jobs could be created.
"Not only tanneries, we have asked them to start leather product manufacturing units here as we have enough land in the complex. They have promised to look into the proposal," Mitra said.
The representatives who met Mitra today said that they had travelled across the country in search of land for expanding the business and they found Bantala to be the fittest for their requirement.
"Nearly 70 per cent of leather products are exported from Kanpur and Chennai.... But now, we need to expand and Bantala is the fittest place as it has ready infrastructure, which confirm the standards set by the European countries and US," said Mukhtarul Amin, president of the CLE.
Although the CLE representatives referred to availability of physical infrastructure as the primary reason behind the decision to select Bengal as the base for expansion, sources in the leather industry that the tanneries chose the state as the owners considered Bengal as a "safe place" to carry on with their business in "today's India".
Over the last two years or so, the atrocities of cow vigilantes have wreaked havoc on the lives those dependent on such industries.
"Only unauthorised slaughterhouses have been banned in UP.... But we know that raw material would be available in Bantala as it could be sourced from the catchments area of Bengal, Bihar and Odisha," Amin said in response to a question whether the crackdown on slaughterhouses had prompted the tanners to explore options elsewhere.
Cattle slaughter is permitted in Bengal where a few restrictions related to the productivity of the animals do exist on paper. "So, it's natural that leather product exporters would find Bengal as an attractive place to set up tanneries," said a state government official.
Around 325 tanneries and 39 leather units now operate in the Bantala park where 970 acres are available for leather-related operations. The Bengal leather industry does business worth Rs 13,000 crore a year, of which exports account for Rs 7,000 crore.
"The companies are expected to begin the application procedure for land within the next one month. This step will encourage more tanneries to expand in the state soon," said Ramesh Juneja, regional chairman (east) of the CLE.
Hafiz ur Rehman, a Kanpur-based tannery owner who was not part of the delegation that was in Calcutta, confirmed the "shortage of leather ever since the BJP government took over" but added that to his knowledge, not too many are thinking of moving right now.
"We have held several meetings on the issue and concluded that only 2 per cent of them were extremely keen to shift. But their family or social situation did not allow them to do so," Rehman said.
Moin Lari, another tannery owner in Kanpur, said he was aware that Bengal was safe but he was still hoping that the Uttar Pradesh government would realise its mistakes.

Nearly a quarter of 25 Blythe Road's total from the private London club sale came from a collection of original cartoons.
The 27-lot group included several examples each by Max Beerbohm (1872-1956) and Graham 'Pont' Laidler (1908-40), as well as works by William Heath Robinson, Henry Mayo Bateman and George du Maurier. This provided a rare opportunity for collectors to acquire market-fresh illustrations by some of the most sought-after cartoonists of the last century.

Great Escape 2013
I'll be in the streets of Brigthon
hoping for another Trippple Nippples moment to crop up.
what was that?
Just an incredibly ruckus gig that happened at The Loft last year
The whole room was rammed and everyone was dancing, crowd surfing and the like... it was madness
The band ended up stripping down completely naked (bar a few tactically placed pieces of tape) and took to the crowd. The show got cut off and the amount of noise for an encore was incredible, then for some reason burgers ended up in the crowd, not entirely sure why and the was a full stage invasion. After the gig all you could hear were drunk people chanting for Trippple Nippples in the centre of Brighton for the remainder of the night. IT WAS FANTASTIC! I can barely remember what the music sounded like :D
Here is the only video evidence I can find on youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hE_wS9T5uio
Brighton is fantastic on this weekend.
I didn't bother with any of the 'proper' shows. The Alternative Escape's lineup is quality.
I need some Great Escape advice
I live close to this and have been meaning to go for years but always hear such bad things about it that I never bother. Planning to change that this year and actually try it for myself.
So basically - how does one approach this? Is it worth even planning to see any particular bands? I have no idea what the system is of getting into most of the venues. I know Concorde is supposed to be a nightmare to get into so I won't bother - but is it the same across the festival? Say I want to see a band in Audio or Coalition would I have to allow ages to actually get in or can I turn up 5 minutes before most places?
It gets harder to see the bigger bands as the day goes on
It's always especially bad by the Corn Exchange or wherever the biggest wristband gig is. But you'll be able to get in somewhere for sure, and if you sign up for their text service, they'll let you know where the bad queues are.
I'd say remember that it's meant to be a new band festival, and approach everything with an open mind, and go and see a load of bands you've never heard of.
Oh yeah
I'm not setting a schedule of all the bands I've heard of and following it slavishly. I'd like to be able to see a few bands I specifically want to see though - bands like Beach Fossils, Lord Huron, Unknown Mortal Orchestra.
I'd like to know how to make sure I get into these, and whether it's so hard to garantee entry to a particular venue that it isn't worth bothering.
I've learnt a system over the years
Basically if you feel the band will be popular then get there at least 1 act before they're due to play. If they're playing a headline set then try to stay in the same venue the whole evening.
Roaming is totally viable during the day, but towards the end of the night it's best to put all your stock in one venue so try and see which line up appeals to you the most, not a specific band, unless you dont mind sitting threw a couple of bands you don't care much about in order to catch one specific band.
For example CHVRCHES are playing a night time headline slot at digital at 21.45 so I'll probably be there for the final 3 acts just to garuntee a spot.
Also the first couple of gigs of the day can fill up really quickly
but in the mid afternoon you can go pretty much anywhere without any worries
But to get the most out of your ticket
try to stick to LINE UPs you like the sound of, once I learnt that the whole festival became less frustrating and actually lots of fun. The first couple GE's I did were just frustrating but that was because I was determined a very fixed set of bands, even if the venues are next door to each other don't risk it.
I did fancy it
But the clashes are just horrible.. I wanted to see about 4 people each day and they all seem to be on at the same time. Just gonna catch everyone separately in London I think
BSM/Alcopop free entry fringe event is v strong:
Friday night
1.00 - Jurassic PoP
1.30 - Bermuda Ern
2.15 - Katie Malco
3.00 - Doctrines
3.45 - Axes
4.30 - Attika State
5.15 - Bear Cavalry
6.00 - Delta Sleep
6.45 - Gunning for Tamar
7.30 - Gnarwolves
8.15 - My First Tooth
9.00 - Freeze The Atlantic
9.45 - Stagecoach
10.30 - Crash of Rhinos
11.15 - Tellison
12.15 - Fight Like Apes
1.15 - Johnny Foreigner
2.15 - The Social Club
03.00 - Her Parents
03.45 - Oxygen Thief
this is my plan.
some of the non wristband stuff looks great.
Started doing venue specific playlists for anyone interested
I do these as an important part of the GE is to try and see multiple bands in as few venues as possible to save disappointment (especially in the nights) and this helps. All bands are in order of apperance, though not all bands are covered due to it being Spotify, but most of them are! I will do 3 of these a day meaning every day for 10 days the will be 3 playlists for you to flick threw :)

i'm going
got my eyes on mac demarco (seen him before so won't cry if too busy) parquet courts, beach fossils, mazes, merchandise, UMO, cheatahs, eagulls...some bad clashes saturday night (chvrches/parquet/courts/mazes) but hoping Mazes will do another set. From personal experience last year i would recommend turning up at least 45 mins before band you really wanna see.
Who else should I see?
I would say turning up earlier for the major headliners
maybe a full set or two before. I imagine Chrvches getting real full real fast & early in the evening to boot.
My friend is looking for a ticket for the weekend
please pm me if you're looking to shift one! THANKING YOU
Oh my god! It's this week!
And the weather looks like it's going to be good for it!
I can't wait now. I'm putting together a list, and there's clashes EVERYWHERE! I'll either miss lots of stuff I want to see, or be completely knackered by sunday.
What are everyone's must see bands? I was blown away by Melody's Echo Chamber earlier this year, so they're top of my list. I'm also really looking forward to seeing IYES and Fear of Men - two of the best bands in Brighton right now.
Compiling a shortlist!*work in progress*
I know I wont see most of these bands :(
Hi Sean
Your stage times for Saturday disagree with the TGE website/app, is there a reason for this? Cheerschasingabee this'd this
Probably because they have been updated and no-one has told me.
Both FOE (who I was originally told was headlining, who when I asked her to chat to me about it, had no idea she was playing as she doesn't have a band at the moment) and then Sylver Tongue (who was announced but didn't confirm) pulled out. So Drop Out Venus are now headlining. What does the app say?
Drop out Venus that is (the main thing I'm concerned with)
If they are 23:15 rather than 22:15 that may solve some of my clashes.
The app reckons Silhouette and Halls are both playing at 20:15 which may be the root of the problem.
had such a good time last year
can't wait to get to Brighton tomorrow. The best way to approach this really is with an open mind, checking out as much as you can. Stumbled across so many gems last year in particular a mid-afternoon gig seeing Born Gold.
I'm going to be there all weekend but without a wristband.
Does anyone have any top recommendations of Alternative Escape stuff to check out?
(Apart from the Alcopop!/BSM and Fool's Paradise/Bad Math shows at the Pav Tav)
rsvp the oib and betabet nights
Details will be on facebook. I know one is being headlined by Egyptian hip hop and the betabet one is being headlined by Bunty. Some good stuff on the hub stage during the dayalari this'd this
This should be pretty good
Nordic Giants and Us Baby Bear Bones are brilliant.
yeah i'll be bumbling around
might blag into a few places - it's fun was soaking it all up really
Not going, but if I was...
You'd be foolish to miss the Faux Discx party on Saturday. Dead good lineup with Cold Pumas/Vision Fortune and the like.

First a side note
Is it me or does the festival seem less of a hassle then usual? I mean I remember even on the Thursday having to queue for pretty much anything after 8pm but this year you seem to be quite freely able to jump from venue to venue! (though I expect this to change tonight/tomorrow) seems better organised then ever so far with every band being on time and queues being non existent for pretty much every aspect of the festival thus far (wristbands, bars, gigs)
So the first day! Had lots of fun and enjoyed pretty much every band I saw. Particular highlights were all found at the lovely surrondings of the Brighthelm Centre with How To Dress Well pulling out a spine tingling set with fantastic visuals (one of which is sure to haunt for me for quite some time).
Special shout outs:
Blue Hawaii: Banging choons! this was a lot of fun and got the whole crowd dancing
Made In Japan: A lot better then I thought it would be, incredibly tight band.
Honeyblood: Punch rock duo with great hooks and lovely personality's
Phantom: Cool visuals and an awesome and interesting midi controller known as the 'UFO' along with some really cool mesmerising sounds and occasional pop flurishes.
AA Wallace: The place was totally empty by this time & we feared the worst. But what little crowd that was there had a great time as EVERYONE danced in a very loud and bizzare way. The was a couple of people having a phantom basket ball game at one point, proving you don't need a big crowd to have a good crowd, and it was certainly the most I danced all day.
Husky Rescue: Starting off pleasant electronic tinged indie pop and became a hypnotic electronic jam!
We Were Evergreen: They really got the crowd going in a BIG WAY, especially considering this was at the Hub Stage which is where people usually just have a quick sit and absorb the sounds of the bands around them. An incredible amount of energy for a 4pm show with lots of 'raving' at the front, I was really surprised.
Mehs Of The Day: Holy Esque & Eat More Cake
Holy Esque seemed kind of decent from what I had heard but the complete lack of dynamics in their song writing made this a slog to watch and I left kind of early. Disappointed as I remember enjoying the single quite a lot but even that kind of stank live.
Eat More Cake: I think I would've been more into this if it wasn't 3pm as it was all a bit Ibiza in places. The male vocalist also seemed completely lost and his voice was all a bit Karaoke.
Bands I saw & enjoyed but don't have much to talk about: Echo & The Empress & The Upskirts
All in all, a very good first day, with awesome weather to back it up!
They've ditched a lot of the smaller venues
and a lot of the faraway places too out in Hove. And while it's "sold out", it doesn't feel any more or less busier around town, but like you say, there are less queues.
Maybe in reducing the overall capacity, they can say that they're sold out (which will help them next year), there's less work to organise things, and happier punters. Everyone wins - except those people who left it too late to buy a ticket, but there's enough Alternative escape stuff around town that you could get a whole weekend of music without a wristband.
Yeah definitely the festival has improves a lot the last 3 years
think it's quickly become one of my favourites, where as before it was just something I did because I was in the area.
Just going to leave this here:
We (the OBL) are doing a fun free entry show etc.
Parquet Courts / Mazes / DZ Deathrays / Traams @ The Loft tomorrow night.

Top work on the Ed Harcourt / Wall show at St Mary's Church Sean
Went to see Wall (such a lovely setting for them, thought it sounded amazing) as I'm friends with them, but as me and my friend had decent pew position we decided to stay and watch Ed Harcourt (was meant to be scooting off to another friend's show), and I gotta say he blew me away. The song he did wandering up and down the aisle, incredible. I should imagine like a few others I was a fan around the release of his first album then he kind of went off the radar for me as the 00s went on, but I'll definitely be checking out what I've been missing.
Big shout out to Alcopop/BSM and Fools Paradise who put on two super fun musical marathons at the Pav Tav on Friday and Saturday. Playlounge absolutely smashed it at both shows, check these guys out if you like No Age and that sort of thing.
Glad you enjoyed the show. That song he did wandering up the aisle was this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IzRwAdU9vZw (I kinda prefer the acoustic version to the one on Lustre).
Some dates coming up in a few weeks time if you fancy seeing a proper show http://edharcourt.com
I had a damn great time!
Fav shows - Beach Fossils/Mac DeMarco, overall best thing I'd seen had to be Parquet Courts, even had a cheeky crowd surf.
Nice surprises - Skip & Die, Monophona, Diana, Blue Hawaii, Birkwin Jersey, Mykki Blanco, Deap Valley
I wanted to punch whoever did the sound for Cheatahs, missed UMO and Merchandise due to long queues and that's about it for gripes.
Overall I had an awesome time
even if I slept the majority of Friday nigh because of being exhausted.
Best Bands: Young Fathers, Blue Hawaii, Monophona, How To Dress Well, Cousins, Alarm Bells, The Beards (Funniest gig I've ever attended), Concrete Knives.
Real Good shit: Tres B, Made In Japan, Kamp!, Mary Epworth, Phantom, Honeyblood, Girls In Hawaii, AA Wallace, Husky Rescue, Whatever the band was after Young Fathers on Saturday
Personal highlight: Either everyone jumping up and dancing for 'You should really consider having sex with a bearded man' by the Beards after everyone was sat down the whole gig *seriously great fun the whole set* and when the crowd noticed AA Wallace was going to play to a near empty hall so everyon rallied and danced as much as humanly possible to make the room look full... it was a lot of fun.
And other good stuff! Lots of interesting stuff going on during the Brighton Festival kept my attention when I should've perhaps been running along to bands & I wish I stayed for Deep Valley & Parquet Courts but couldn't stand the crowd *full of people too impressed with their own voice* and it was quite uncomfortable to stand around.
The only bands that did nothing for me the whole weekend was Holy Esque *yawn* and Deep Sea Arcade *warning! 2nd coming of Kasabian*
The rest of the stuff I saw was enjoyable but I don't remember it :D *I Saw a lot* and spent 0 time in queues despite doing quite a lot of queuing
Also was disappointed with Cheetahs
started with poor sound but to be honest I think half of their songs just aren't anything particularly special.
Agree about Deep Sea Arcade and Holy Esque
As much as I wanted to like Alarm Bells, the mix was fucking terrible where I was standing (weird because the two bands before them sounded fine) and then I realized I wasn't into their brand of disco/hardcore/synth pop whatever they were trying to pull off.
Did you catch Honeyblood before Holy Esque?
I think I'm a little bit in love with them ha.
So you saw Young Fathers (on before Alarm Bells), imagine them being a bit odd at 3pm, they were AWESOME at Brighthelm
Despite only seeing a handful of bands
I had a really good time. Highlights of the weekend were probably non-Great Escape gigs - Bo Ningen, Crap Crab and Black Black Hills were all great. Mac Demarco and Melody's Echo Chamber were both superb, I'm a bit in love with Mac Demarco. The only real disappointment was Darkstar - I expected so much more but found myself getting bored about 15 minutes into their set.

The new IIEP Letter is out now!
This July-December 2017 issue looks at current practices to help ensure the successful implementation of an education sector plan.
Implementation is one of the most important steps of the educational planning cycle. Without it, the vision captured in the plan has no chance of becoming a reality. However, there is often more attention given to plan formulation than to its actual implementation. To help adjust this balance, we've dedicated this issue of our newsletter, The IIEP Letter, to practices that support the successful implementation of educational plans.
In this issue :
Education plans: turning intent into action

You know I am all about GRACE!!! I named my company Grace Group afterall. I don't think I ever shared that story via blog and since everyone always asks, "why Grace?", then I suppose the inspiration is in order. Well you see, it is very simple...the word Grace just kept coming to me. My favorite coffee table book is GRACE Thirty Years Of Fashion At Vogue, by one of my industry heroes Grace Coddington...it sits prominently on my coffee table and was there well before I chose a name. Then my mother found a horoscope for my coming year and it was all about Grace...sure a little spiritual I suppose, but these are the small signs in life you have to pay attention to. Finally, Grace has so much to do with fashion that I just couldn't resist and Grace Group was born. OK, don't worry, I am not going to bore you with more details about my company, as I know you read The Gift Of Style for my fashion obsessions, so let me segway into the real reason for this story/set-up and let me introduce you to my newest Grace fetish, Winifred Grace.
Winifred Grace is an absolutely gorgeous jewelry line that I recently discovered...so me. The line has been around for several years, since 2003, yet somehow never made it on my radar. I have admitted before to being a bit of a jewelry novice, so perhaps this is why. Designed, by Chicago-based, Winifred Grace Gundeck, the line is inspired by "visually rich textures and patterns found in everything from nature to indigenous art, tapestries and adornments". To me it the perfect combination of well yes, graceful lines and something slightly more hard edged...feminine and sort of dowtown chic, my favorite combo. My music reference would be not so much rock-n-roll as pop perhaps, yet not "blingy" pop. Too many analogies for you, well let me put it simply, these fab jewels have universal appeal and are not only 100% wearable, but yes, statement making.
My favorite pieces are perhaps the most unique made up of strands or clusters of oxidized clear crystals, rhinestones, metals and pearls. They almost feel like powerful little starbursts...almost like something exploded in a perfectly symmetrical fashion. I am also deeply attracted Winifred Grace's chain pieces which are a mix of oxidized sterling silver chains, 14k gold filled chains, and oxidized clear crystal rhinestone chains. They are super hip, yet again really accessible...not too rocker. Too me they are a more modern version of wearing a cuff or multiple bangles as they really pack a powerful punch of style. She just relaunched her website, so be sure to check out all of her gorgeous creations. Of course, if you would rather touch and feel first, you can stop Debut on Mulberry street in Nolita.
To wrap up, let me give you a quick definition of Grace: seemingly effortless beauty or charm of movement, form, or proportion. This pretty much sums up how I feel about Winifred Grace!!!!

Bankruptcy Mythbusters
Using precise scientific methods, Doan Law Firm tests common bankruptcy knowledge. Will these ideas hold water or will they be busted? Including, "If I file bankruptcy I'll lose everything I have" and "If I file bankruptcy I'll never get credit again". Starring James P. Doan, Esq. and Sara Firoozeh, Esq.
If I file bankruptcy I'll lose everything I have.
That's not true. No one, not even the federal government, wants you living in a cardboard box under a bridge. They have a vested interest in giving you a fresh start – with the tools to allow you to use it. In fact, in most bankruptcies, the debtor gives up nothing. Each state, and the federal government, have specific "exemptions" – those are categories of items and dollar amounts that a debtor is allowed to keep. They cover houses, cars, tools, retirement and many other things the government wants you to retain so you'll continue to be a productive member of society. You can even keep the dog.
If I file bankruptcy I'll never get credit again
Again not true. In fact you're a better credit risk after a bankruptcy than before. Before a bankruptcy your credit's suffering blow after blow. After a bankruptcy, it's knocked out, but standing back up again. Also, after a bankruptcy you're not able to file again for a number of years. The credit card companies know that and that makes you a great credit risk. Even the car companies heard… And they want in on the deal too. As a matter of fact, even mortgage companies will see clear to give you a loan after about 2 years. No loan sharks for you.
I'm so ashamed to be in this position – don't only losers and deadbeats file bankruptcy?
This is no longer your grandparent's bankruptcy. Over half of all Americans are in debt, many very very seriously. They've suffered a job loss, medical crisis or divorce. Some were running so fast to pay everyone that one little hiccup upset the house of cards. Add to this the credit card companies hounding you around every corner; college campuses, concerts, the mall, even in your mailbox daily, and Americans didn't have a chance. Many people, whose names you'd recognize, have received a new start in bankruptcy. As far as bankruptcy filers being losers, I'll let you go ahead and tell Rembrandt and Wayne Newton they're losers.
While we're talking about it, the only reason we know about Rembrandt and Wayne is because they're celebrities. While bankruptcy is a court filing and it's public in that sense, so many people file bankruptcy (over 6,000 a day) that it effectively becomes a private matter; there's no newspaper publication, no skywriter. The only people who know are you, your creditors and anyone you choose to tell. Yes, yes it is, that's why we do it all day as a profession. You don't really want to add bankruptcy filing to your list of hobbies do you? Stick to tennis, scrapbooking, reading, underwater basket weaving and we'll work with the reams of paperwork, numbers and black robed judges. Bankruptcy is complicated and detailed. If you get it wrong you can lose precious rights and assets to which you are entitled. Just like you don't perform your own root canals, leave the financial drilling to the professionals.

Here are a few common questions that we've come across when demonstrating our solutions at MobileReadyNOW. If you have a question, please don't hesitate to contact us for a quick and thorough answer!
Is this the same as a mobile app? What's the difference?
We call these "web apps". It's what Steve Jobs originally envisioned for the iPhone, applications that run across the web rather than being stored on your phone. Mobile-optimized websites can be saved to your phone just like an app, but instead of downloading it from an app store, you simply load the website, and then save it to your screen. Mobile applications can do things that mobile websites cannot, such as store lots of data on your phone. But mobile applications are much more expensive to develop, deploy, and support. It's also hard to get people to download your app without first taking them to a mobile website. For most small businesses, a mobile-optimized website or "web-app" is the perfect solution.
Does a mobile website replace my old website?
It can, but the real answer is "no". Websites built for viewing on larger screens, such as desktop and laptop computers, serve a different purpose. Big screen visitors expect more information and a richer experience. They may be doing research or comparison shopping and they will take time to read more information. For them, a mobile-optimized website doesn't offer a great experience, so you really want both a site that is optimized for large screens and a site that is optimized for mobile screens.
Is this a separate website or does it use "responsive design"?
Responsive design changes the layout of your existing website to fit different size screens, including mobile devices. But it is not the right solution for every business with a website. Most desktop sites were not designed with mobile in mind, so to make your website both responsive and mobile-ready, you really need to start over, designing both a new desktop site and mobile site. We build responsive websites for our clients when it is the best solution.
Stand-alone mobile websites are more effective when you want to provide on-the-go customers with fast answers, and you want to get your mobile-optimized website online quickly. Our online pricing is based on stand-alone mobile websites that are built for speed and create awesome mobile experiences. If you are interested in a complete website design, we can discuss all of our options and provide you with a quote. Just let us know by calling (812) 496-2900.
How do people find my mobile website?
We install (or provide to your website manager) a small script that is added to your website. This script detects mobile phones and redirects them to your mobile-optimized website. So when people are searching for your business website, they'll see your mobile-optimized site if they are on a mobile phone. We also provide a link on your mobile site that bypasses the script so that mobile visitors can choose to view your desktop site.
Why can't I just tell you what features I want and get an instant online quote?
That would be great, and someday we might do that, but right now we're still a small company and we can't afford to give everyone a "take it or leave it" price. We like to listen, explore your needs, and then put together a package that not only saves you money, but provides you with great value. We can't do that without learning more about your current marketing programs and the kind of support you might need.
I don't have a webmaster to handle the technical stuff for me. Can you help?
Absolutely! That is one of the ways we set ourselves apart from the big mobile companies. We offer a-la-carte website management, or for a monthly fee, you can keep us on a service contract where we regularly handle website updates, fixes, search engine optimization, and traffic reports. This is great for businesses who don't have in-house tech support. Tell us what you need, and we'll present a solution we hope you will love.
I'm not sure what a "mobile landing page" is. Can you explain it?
Sure! A landing page is simply a mini-website, often just one or sometimes 2 pages. It usually has a single purpose, like getting people to sign up for a newsletter, enter a contest, join a loyalty program, or subscribe to a service. It can be used to collect a payment, or provide a product or inventory listing. The key is that mobile landing pages add a mobile-optimized experience to campaigns that often start out in print as a qr code or a link published in a mobile ad. Mobile landing pages can also be used to turn your tablet into a kiosk for presenting or collecting information. They're not quite mobile websites, but they are designed for mobile devices.
What if I don't want the mock-up that you create for me?
It's no problem. We're just glad that you gave us a chance to impress you. Ultimately, it's important that you are delighted with the services and products that are delivered to you. If we're not meeting your needs, we'll even happily help you find someone who more closely matches your requirements.
I'm not sure if a mobile website is right for me.
Give us a call, and tell us what you think your business needs. We'll explain the advantages and the limitations of a mobile website, and help you make an informed decision. There's no sales pressure, we're not into that.

J. R. R. Tolkien Quotes About SufferingQuotes about: Suffering
Under the Mountain dark and tall The King has come unto his hall! His foe is dead, the Worm of Dread, And ever so his foes shall fall. The sword is sharp, the spear is long, The arrow swift, the Gate is strong; The heart is bold that looks on gold; The dwarves no more shall suffer wrong. The dwarves of yore made mighty spells, While hammers fells like ringing bells In places deep, where dark things sleep, In hollow halls beneath the fells. -from The Hobbit (Dwarves Battle Song)
Nay! Alas for us all! And for all that walk in the world in these after-days. For such is the way of it: to find and lose, as it seems to those whose boat is on the running stream. But I count you blessed [...] for your loss you suffer of your own free will, and you might have chosen otherwise. But you have not forsaken your companions, and the least reward that you shall have is that the memory of Lothlórien shall remain ever clear and unstained in your heart, and shall neither fade nor grow stale.
Is it not a strange fate that we should suffer so much fear and doubt for so small a thing? So small a thing! And I have seen it only for an instant in the house of Elrond! Could I not have a sight of it again?" Frodo looked up. His heart went suddenly cold. He caught the strange gleam in Boromir's eyes, yet his face was still kind and friendly. "It is best that it should lie hidden," he answered. "As you wish. I care not." said Boromir.
Justice is not Healing. Healing cometh only by suffering and patience, and maketh no demand, not even for Justice. Justice worketh only within the bonds of things as they are... and therefore though Justice is itself good and desireth no further evil, it can but perpetuate the evil that was, and doth not prevent it from the bearing of fruit in sorrow.
For Isildur would not surrender it to Elrond and Círdan who stood by. They counselled him to cast it into the fire of Orodruin night at hand... But Isildur refused this counsel, saying: 'This I will have as weregild for my father's death, and my brother's. Was it not I that dealt the Enemy his death-blow?' And the Ring that he held seemed to him exceedingly fair to look on; and he would not suffer it to be destroyed.
We have sworn, and not lightly. This oath we will keep. We are threatened with many evils, and treason not least; but one thing is not said: that we shall suffer from cowardice, from cravens or the fear of cravens. Therefore I say that we will go on, and this doom I add: the deeds that we shall do shall be the matter of song until the last days of Arda.

You must have been praying for some snow with us because the weatherman is calling for a sever winter storm with 12″ of snow in the valleys and 2-3 feet in the mountains! Yahoo!
Of course it is coming just as we are about to start calving… so I guess now we pray that the calves will keep warm. Oh, the life of a rancher!
With all of the storms heading our way, its hard to believe that less than a month ago our lawns were bare. Our Christmas snow had melted with a few of warm and sunny days. It felt like spring!
The Rancher has really had some spring fever and has been sprucing up the ranch. He has been doing some intense cleaning in the shop and sheds- he even found the back wall of one! They have done some corral repairs and he has even trimmed up the trees.
I don't know how professional pruners take care of the trees, but I would feel safe guessing that they don't use a tractor and a chainsaw like these ranch boys! But I guess when that's what life gives ya, you go with what you got!

Heavy winds wreaked havoc in parts of Saskatchewan Wednesday.
South-central and southeastern Saskatchewan, including Regina, saw strong winds pick up throughout the morning and afternoon, gusting up to 90 kilometres per hour.
In Saskatoon, wind speeds were recorded at 105 km/h around 2 p.m.
Environment Canada expects gusts to ease up slightly later in the afternoon – but not before doing some damage.
By early afternoon, debris could be spotted throughout Regina. Garbage and recycling bins were strewn about the streets, and shingles had blown off of roofs.
There were also reports of semis being blown over on the highway.

Hackers steal KD5 million of clients from three local banks
Clients of three local banks are said to have lost approximately KD 5 million when hackers succeeded into breaking into their accounts, a charge denied by the banking sources, reports Al-Shahed daily quoting a reliable source.
According to the source, when scores of clients filed complaints with the banks, they were reportedly told that the complaints should be filed with the police stations.

And so what seemed like it happened just a while ago has already past for 2 months.
Why have I stopped blogging? Where are the photos?
3 rounds of celebrations
2 back to back buffets (yes one lunch, one dinner)
2 large and very yummy cakes to finish
2 brunches and a lunch later... ....
While I was editing the photos, I looked at myself in horror. The evil hub has secretly converted me to look like him. Like they say, if you cannot lose weight, then make your partner look like you. Ok I don't know who said that but I'm sure that must have been the plot.
It started with a very innocent off-day with C at the spa.
Spa was fantastic and we were even lamenting why it only lasted for an hour. And then C suggested we have a good brunch for my birthday treat. I suspect it meant to 'compensate' our short-lived luxurious day. We had brunch at Antoniette Mandarin Gallery and a very good time gossiping.
One of the perks of being a middle aged woman is that we have the ability to slurge on something we like. We did our nails, went shopping around town - very wrong move to do that when you're in the midst of GSS. C lured me to onPedder and said they had sales. Bought a Stella Mccartney faux python clutch at a steal!
We were all out to be a full fledged tai tai for a day - except the difference was we were using our own money. *hur hur hur* (Mental note: Must not jio C out for shopping on a weekday again. Very dangerous)

RIM may be coming off the back of probably its worst year in history, but that hasn't stopped it from kicking off 2012 by showing off its fanciest new tricks at CES 2012 – such as they are.
The Canadian firm has unveiled the updated BlackBerry OS 7.1 platform for its smartphones, including support for BlackBerry Tag NFC sharing and mobile Wi-Fi hotspots, as well as the improved PlayBook OS 2.0 for the troubled PlayBook tablet.
BlackBerry OS 7.0 was announced back in August, and the jump to version 7.1 means BB users will now be able to share information such as documents, contacts, BBM invites and the like by tapping their handsets together via the BlackBerry Tag NFC service. BBM itself gets a fresh like of paint too, as do the Traffic and Travel services.
The other main feature of BlackBerry 7.1 is that you can now use your RIM smartphone as a Wi-Fi hotspot for up to five devices, while BlackBerry Curve 9360 or 9380 users now get an FM radio too.
BlackBerry OS 7.1 is rolling out globally from today.
As for PlayBook OS 2.0, it's not a full release we're getting just yet, but a preview – RIM hasn't been in much of a rush to find that cutting edge in the tablet market thus far, after all, so why change now?
The native email app everyone's been banging on about forever is finally arriving, and credit where it's due – the PlayBook's new email chops seem to be every bit as comprehensive as on RIM's BlackBerry OS.
There's a unified inbox including social network integration, tabbed email, rich-text email editing and multi-account search, while as you'd expect multiple accounts are supported too, both business and personal.
There's no clarity just yet on where we are with Android app support, though you could argue that wouldn't be nearly as big an issue as it now is had the proper email and communication tools been on board in the first place.
It's a point that's been widely made before now, but it's worth repeating: this pretty much takes the PlayBook to where it should have been a year ago when it launched. The big question is: a year later, is that actually good enough?

A professor at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary has launched an attack at the "emerging church movement." Baptist scholar sounds a warning to 'emerging church' - (BP)
If you want to know more about the "emerging church" movement, check out these websites: emergingchurch or Welcome to Emergent Village
In particular, the attacks are generally launched at Brian McLaren and his book, A Generous Orthodoxy. While I do not know a whole lot about the "emerging church" movement, I read that book over the summer and found it to be extremely thought-provoking and inspiring. I highly recommend the book to anyone looking to deepen their relationship and be challenged to think.
Carlos over at Talk To Action blog highlights the differences between another Southern Baptist leader, Russell Moore, and Brian McLaren: Talk To Action A New Kind of Christian. He offers several quotations from McLaren that should give you a little taste of his work and thoughts.

A stripper who was blasted for her plans to host a post-exam Leaving Certificate party has taken a swipe at her critics.
The Snapchat sensation Chelsea Ferguson slammed parents who said she is "no role model to kids" prior to her scheduled appearance at the bashes in Kerry and Dublin.
Ferguson, 24, who posts X-rated pics of herself online, will appear at Tamango in North Dublin tonight before heading to Eden Nightclub in Ballybunion, Co Kerry.
She took to Twitter to tell her 654,000 followers: "Imagine being "outraged" by your 18-year-old, consenting adult offspring, seeing a pair of breasts. Can't believe I'm even writing it."
She also posted a brazen message to her critics saying: "I'm ready to argue with some feminists today."
One mum had previously hit out at the model and claimed she is not a "suitable role model" for impressionable teenagers.
Spokeswoman for the Kerry Rape Crisis Centre, Vera O'Leary, also slammed the model's plans to appear at the event.
She added: "Having this woman there, performing as she does in a most sexual and uninhibited way sends out a message to impressionable young people that it is right to behave like this and this can lead to all kinds of dangers."
But messages of support flooded in online for popular Ferguson following her tweets.
One user wrote: "Some parents cant accept that their lad has grown up."
Another fumed: "Those parents need to cop on and calm down."

After finding the Wizard Raylor dead and sealing the portal to the strange realm the party returned to Reavespoint. Bent on finding a suit of dwarven armor Ragnor asked the party to travel to the mining town of Mornford to find a smith among the many dwarves who call it home. Posing as wine merchants (the ever full bottle of magical wine supplying their purchased barrels) the party purchased a wagon and took the five day journey to Mornford. Along the way they met a jovial dwarf named Brissen who purchased the bar drinks.
Arriving in Mornford the party heard several rumors, but decided that slaying Orcs would be their best bet and gathered information from Brom Fenris the only surviving member of the Fenris clan who was offering the reward. After hiring a young scout named Young Karl they headed off into the mountains to try and find the lair of the Blood Fur Orcs and claim the head of the Half Ogre Chief.
Before reaching the lair they were ambushed by large orcs, stronger than normal orcs these brutes were nearly naked, but covered in scabs, scars, and sores. Dispatching the strangely diseased orcs the party moved on eventually finding a water filled cave and signs of orc tracks leading in.
The cave was large, filled with a slow moving river feed from a waterfall above the entrance. The water was filled with hundreds of bones of goblins, orcs and a few humans. Small albino freshwater crabs picked through these bones. Wandering the caves the party soon disturbed a crab of great proportions but managed to fight it off sending it wounded down into a deep hole beneath a rock.
Moving on the party soon discovered deeper in the cave a underground waterfall plunging into the darkness and beyond this worked stone and tracks the lead to an area with the look of habitation including the waste of several broken crates, barrels, and discarded junk, among which he party was attacked by several small, but poisons looking centipedes.
Venturing down the hallway further the party was suddenly attack by arrows from the darkness. Cautiously approaching they found four orcs wearing blood soaked furs and rough armor (but no signs of the disease on the orcs found earlier). Soon dispatching the orcs the last one raced to a stout metal door pounding to be let in to no avail. The party regrouped and picked the lock. Finding a long man made corridor and a large lever. Unsure on what the lever did the party moved down the hallway but accidently triggered a pressure plate. Working together they avoided the other plates and found a lever on the far end of the hall as well. Assuming this lever disarmed the trap the pulled it as well and the party escaped the hall unharmed. Exiting the iron door on the far end of the hall the party heard a commotion; they soon found several orcs tormenting a dog. The party rushed in and was subsequently slaughtered after a string of bad luck, only Radnor survived the melee. Gathering the loot from his companions and taking the dog with him he quickly buried his companions and returned to town.
Radnor decided to wait for his armor to be completed, but soon Mornford was filled with the rumors of a Lewisford Consortium caravan being raided by orcs and that Coronel Trembal of Reavespoint was going to send a contingent of soldiers to deal with it. Speculation was the caravan was transporting a magic sword of some kind and this was the true reason for the Legions sudden interest in the Orcs. Regardless of why the local prospectors grumbled that mines got hit for months with no action and one caravan gets destroyed and the legion comes running.
Wanting to claim the 5,000 gold pieces reward, a new party was formed. This party headed first to the site of the caravan's attack for a quick investigation afterwards, but finding no clear evidence that it was Orcs or if it was someone framing the Orcs the party then headed to the orc lair, that night they were attacked by strange dogs, large and hairless these dogs had the same diseased look as the strange orcs the (other) party had encountered.
Returning to the lair the party found little changed, fought its way through more orcs and then made its way down to the lower level. This area seemed to be the main habitat of the orcs, and the party again fought its way through several guard posts, even slaying two ogres.
Eventually the party wandered down a long unused corridor sloping down into the earth. The passage ended in a small room, much colder than it had a right to be, and the room was dominated by a huge stone "sarcophaguses" 12 feet long, 6 feet wide and 5 feet tall. The lid of the sarcophagus was locked to the bottom by 6 huge silvery pad locks. Getting a bad feeling from the sarcophagus the party decided not to mess with it.
Continuing further into the lair the party found more guards squabbling over a backpack, after dispatching the guards the party crossed a bridge over a subterranean river and found a large iron door. Knocking they discovered dwarves voices after a brief talk the dwarves agreed to let them in. Once in they found several dwarves in a living quarters wearing full plate, talkative, but armed and clearly something was amiss. The dwarves soon made it clear they were allies of the orcs, but did see the characters as a threat, eventually the character attacked the dwarves and the melee resulted in two dead dwarves but two dwarves escaped. Wounded the party quickly looted the dwarves, and among their papers found letters implying another dwarf was working with someone in Mornsford (see Letters Found in Dwarven Barracks in Bloodcloak Orc Lair ).
Knowing the dwarves had alerted the orcs the party made for the abandoned room with the large sarcophagus to hide out and heal. Emerging hours later they explored further killing more orcs and found a large armory filled with weapons, which gave the impression the orcs were stockpiling weapons.
Next they wandered into a candle filled room with and orc shaman dedicated to Orcus. After defeating the shaman and his zombie haram the party found a secret door hiding a stairway leading down into a series of caverns and ramps leading down even further. The party was ambushed by a large undead abomination of multiple creatures sewn together but was able to defeat it.
They next encountered the tomb of the orcs, a cavern filled with dozens of dead orcs standing on stone pedestals posed with weapons but in various states of decay. The party started hacking the orcs up so they could loot them and it brought them to life. Using the cleric's protection from undead spell the party was able to stay protected and knock off the undead orcs slowly but surely. Eventually the undead orcs were defeated and they reached a large door.
Behind the door they found a small room, a line of powdered silver right over the threshold of the door and beyond it a pile of stones top with rough wooden planks and upon the planks a skeletal orc dressed in rusted armor but clutching a shining two handed sword. Entering the room the party was soon set upon by shadows and the animated corpse of the orc. Another deadly combat but the party survived, and claimed the magic sword for themselves.
After another recovery period the party emerged from the secret cavern to find the orc lair in disarray. It was clear someone had come through the cavern and slaughtered the orcs. Scouting around they found a prison and torture chamber, the orc living quarters, a river area with several boats, and the throne room of the orcs.
They cautiously exited the caves to find the Grey legion camped outside, recovering from wounds. They discovered the about two score of legionaries from the Vadiston barracks, led by an experienced dwarf Lt. Woodburn, and under the command of Sir Harmon Gree, a young (and inexperienced) knight recently arrived from the western kingdoms and a dozen of his men at arms. Sir Harmon had been tasked by Col, Trembal to stop the orc problem in Mornford and the legion killed the half ogre.
The party traveled back to Mornford with the legion and settled in selling their loot and brewing potions. The second night in town they were woken from their sleep by the church bells ringing and after donning armor rushed out to find the soon to be open Hippon House Brewery burning. Joining the bucket line the fire was eventually extinguished. The rumors swirled around town that it was orcs who burned the building down, the party talked to a few witnesses a drunken dwarf and a child who had seen the fur coved hollering orcs leave boats from the river and throw oil and torches in the brewery. Suspicious of how orcs made it by the river gates they went to inspect the towers only to find the house guards of Lord Trihammer arguing with the legionaries guarding the walls. The characters were not given a chance to talk to the guards but witnessed Trihammer himself come down and berate the guard before taking him to the keep.

We have had enough of our winters, some winters have not been the coldest winter or maybe not that much snow here, but lots of wind, a couple warm ups then back to freezing temperatures followed by snow and another nice warm up with rain than with freezing rain and back to cold again. Much of these changing conditions have been uncomfortable for most of us, but fish are still in the lakes and maybe not as uncomfortable as we are. Fish will spend much of the winter in deeper water and still eating to make it through winter. Being cold blooded, they will slow down during cold water periods which means a slower presentation is essential.
We are blessed with several winter fishing opportunities in Illinois with all the great lakes in southern Illinois, the power plant lakes, all the rivers for those mild days and a chance to Ice fish in northern half of the state. Later in February or next month finding shore areas to fish or fishing off docks can be a good option and is better than not fishing. For Central Illinois, we are fortunate to have Powerton Lake that remains open for most of the winter for shore fishing and reopens to boat fishing on February 15th along with Clinton and Sangchris Lakes just over an hour away.
It helps to know where brushpiles are in a lake so you are not spending lots of fishing time searching. Therefore, another great winter activity to help guarantee a fishing spot is to place your own brush or fish attractors. Good spots would be at different locations and depths along or off points, along breaks and along creek channels. An awesome product is the Porcupine Fish Attractor that is designed to attract fish without hanging hooks or lures. We have experience with many types of attractors from trees, cribs, pallets, brush or other PVC items and find the porcupine type to be the easiest to use and great for fishing in. Remember to get permission to place these in a lake and select spots at various depths to cover all seasons of fishing.
Winter fishing can be a good chance to catch the bigger fish, dress warm, remember they are deeper, look for shad or baitfish and if one species of fish is not biting, target another species. Fish SLOW along main lake points or breaks near deep water and try downsizing. Wind has been a problem this winter so look for areas out of the wind or find protection with windbreaks. And if you plan to hit the river for those sauger, look for bends or those current seams where flowing water is blocked or diverted.
Advantages of cold weather fishing are fewer anglers are out and once you figure out the right pattern it will remain more consistent during this time. If you fish power plant lakes, the colder it is the better the fishing in the discharge areas.
Bottom line, even if you really, really want to fish, there are times in bad weather when it is best to stay off the lake and maybe take in one of the great fishing shows in your area.
This time of year can produce some nice fish as they start to feed up so don't let cold temps keep you from fishing while others are sitting in front of the TV or PC, just dress warm and fish Slow or find other ways to support your passion for fishing while waiting for warmer weather.
The winter has us thinking of spring or maybe hitting the warm waters of power plant lakes later this month. However, many have so far kept busy with fishing shows and there are several throughout state (check our site for listings) a great way to start the season and is packed with a variety of fishing vendors, resorts, seminars, raffles, fun for the kids and is worth the trip.
Visit our site for all the fishing news, events, other fishing related materials including a full listing of remaining Fishing & Sport Shows at www.larrysfishinghole.com
Till Next Time, GOD BLESS & GOOD FISHING !

I've been meaning to share a few of these little lovelies with you forever now, so I decided to put them all together in one post, just for your enjoyment ;)
{If I had a show like "Oprah's Favorite Things" where she gives out the most luxurious gifts to everyone in her studio audience, but instead I gave out some of these items… I'm sure it would be the lowest rated television show EVER to air. But I'm simple – and POOR compared to Oprah – so here's my list anyway!!}
Tresseme FreshStart Dry Shampoo – I LOOOOOOOOOOVE this stuff. Anything that can help me wash my hair only every other day is my best friend. My routine: lift the hair at the roots wherever I feel need some cleanliness, spray this magic can, let it dry a couple minutes, then comb it out. I also flat iron/curl my hair for the day before I spray this – I've found my hair doesn't respond well to the heat after spraying. I've even thought my hair looked BETTER on some of the days I've used this than when it was clean!!!
Sanitas – much like Danskos… they're ugly, they're even kind of expensive?!, but they are so WORTH IT. If you stand all day for a living, or work in the health profession, you've probably already heard of these… maybe even sport a pair daily to work like me. Forget fashion at work, for my 12 hour days, I need comfort!
Loreal Voluminous - I've been using this mascara since high school! I've tried many others in between, but always run back to my first love. It's the bomb, y'all ;)
Maternity pants – why would I ever go back?! I love the full paneled ones too… it's like built in spanx with never a possibility of muffin top or plumber's crack! I'm just sayin', don't be surprised when I'm still wearing these things 2 years later with no bun in the oven…
McDonald's Sweet Tea – it's big, it's delicious, it's $1… 'nuff said.
I don't remember a time in my life before chapstick. It is my addiction. I kid you not when I estimate there are probably 20+ tubes in different spots around my house and in my car, not to mention in almost every coat pocket. Ask Nick about the panic if I find I'm out without a single tube!
VersaSpa – some you sweet folks email from time to time asking what I do for a tan. Since I'm of the pale persuasion and uninterested in skin cancer – I spray tan and love it =) {Secret side note: I've even got Nick in there a few times and even he doesn't mind it.} When I can't get out to Versa, I sometimes rub on a little Banana Boat self tanner and of course, my daily make-up routine always includes bronzer… which I will admit I can go a little overboard with at times!
Fruit Pizza – morning, noon, and night!
Traveling with my love – which is thankfully, coming up again soon♥
This little guy, who looks to be chilaxin' just like his pops is above. He is really starting to pump up the volume on his movements and I am L.O.V.I.N.G. it!!!! It's even more amazing to feel him from the outside, letting me know it's not just my tummy grumbling for food again ;) We're still trying to get him to move for his daddy – the day he feels our little one too will be such a happy one!
Last but not least and especially not as special as these others just because I don't have pictures: finally a weekend away from work {hallelujah!}, off for the holiday, and spending some quality time with those crazy family members we love so dearly.
Let the weekend begin – with a massage in 1 hour!!!!

shuzammy needed a new web page design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 14 designs submitted by 7 freelance designers.
Looking for a makeover of the website seen here:
Optimal Health Press
I am posting this on behalf of a gentleman and his small publishing company. His work and research is important and needed at this time but he is not a developer and not super tech savvy. He needs a site that looks like the name of his company suggests, "Optimal Health Press" OHP is a company that publishes material for the underground health and wellness movement.
- clean
- professional
- denoting health and wellness
- suggestive of publishing
- new type/logo treatment might be nice
- photoshop format
- not too trendy
- not too commercial
- no bold / high contrast colors
- definitely no rainbows ;-)

Satechi AirBass Active Bluetooth Speakers offers crystal clear audio without breaking the bank
Portable speakers are dime a dozen these days, and it remains to be seen just which particular model would be able to suit your lifestyle as well as your budget. Satechi has something new for us this coming holiday season with the Satechi AirBass Active Bluetooth speakers which are already available to be purchased (and that means, wrapped and to be placed under the Christmas tree, of course!). These speakers have been touted to be the ideal audio solution which delivers crystal clear audio at home or the office. Being compact in size, they should be able to fit into any home nicely, coming in a sleek, glossy black or white finish without having to take up too much space at home.
Just what kind of features will the AirBass Active Bluetooth Speakers come? It will feature Acoustic AirBass technology that is capable of producing deep bass and dynamic mids and highs for room-filling, crisp sound. If that is not enough bass yourself, you will be able to hook up a subwoofer in order to enhance the sound. The speakers would be ideal for all of your entertainment needs, ranging from watching movies or streaming music to enhancing audio on laptops or desktop computers. Apart from that, you can also opt to stream wirelessly from any Bluetooth-enabled device, or to use the auxiliary output for a direct connection to any device.
The Satechi AirBass Active Bluetooth speakers will also come with a 5V, 1 amp USB port which will be useful whenever you need to power up your power hungry smartphone. Right now, you might want to catch the Satechi AirBass Active Bluetooth Speakers early in the game at a promotional introductory price of $99.99 a pop. Any takers out there? I would personally go for the black color since it would not show up the dirt too fast.

Budget and Operational Budgeting
What are the four major types of agency budgeting systems? The four types of agency budgeting systems are capitol budgeting, operational budgeting, personnel budgeting, expendables and accountable. The relative advantage between these is they have a need to be the foundation for the company. These are what help the company as far as pay, salary and uniforms. This budgeting system allows for the company to figure out what will be needed to perform certain jobs and how many of what might be needed for an operation. Capitol Budgeting
Capitol budgeting is part of an agency budget that pays for the long lasting agency asserts. This asserts include the building for which the company will work in. Durable goods also come in under this budget which will be the equipment that has to be long lasting. These funds are treated separate from other categories of funds. Without this budget it leaves a company with no work place. There has to be a work place for the staff to come together. Operational Budgeting
Operational budgeting involves the development of financial plans for the organization, typically for a year. While annual budgets need not be subdivided into shorter periods, monthly or quarterly budgets are especially useful for anticipating cash needs and for comparing actual experience with plan. A comprehensive master budget requires planning for all phases of the operation. (Operational Budgeting, 2005) This budget will include salaries of the personnel that work for the company. It also cover the water bill, electric, gasoline, supplies, postage and other expendable items that are in this category. Personnel Budgeting
Personnel Budgeting is for all personnel that work for the company from office worker, field worker, and janitorial staff. This budget includes the salaries, training, medical, and all taxes withheld. This budget is important due to the company needs a staff to run operations for certain task. Then...

Digits From Asia: Jimmy Wales, Cooking With Google
In this week's Digits From Asia, Wikipedia co-founder Jimmy Wales calls Edward Snowden an American hero, a Google Glass app teaches users how to cook, and what happens to your Facebook, Google and Twitter accounts after you die.
