Managing your relationship with others is the fourth pillar of Emotional Intelligence or EI.
Do we really need other people?
"No person is an island, entire of itself; every person is a piece of the continent."
John Donne said this. I have changed the quote a little for reasons of gender correctness because the 16th and 17th century world of John Donne was markedly different too our enlightened utopia. That aside, the basic truth of his statement is unaltered.
The answer to the question is a definite yes. We need other people. Even if we don't like them we do need them.
You need to build solid and effective relationships with other people in all areas of your life and work. All of us need to develop strong personal and professional networks. We also need to be able to operate effectively as key elements in the networks of others.
When the first three pillars of emotional intelligence are firmly in place we can then begin to create and successfully manage such relationships and networks.
Our friendships, family connections and working relationships can define us. Modern life is nigh on impossible without them. Even if it were possible to live entirely alone and isolated, for myself at least, it would be a miserable and pointless life.
What defines a relationship?
We can most usefully talk about the word relationship here as either the way in which two or more people are connected, or the way in which two or more people or groups think about, feel about, interact with and behave toward each other. The first part of the two-part statement above defines a relationship's connection component and the second part speaks to the quality or nature of the relationship.
For example, a residential landlord may be said to be in a relationship with a tenant due to the fact one rents the other a dwelling; this is a straightforward relationship description based on connection. You might also describe the situation by saying the landlord and tenant have an uneasy relationship; because the tenant is always waiting until the very last minute to pay their rent. This speaks more to the quality aspect of the relationship. A low-quality one in this example. Relationships can fall anywhere on a spectrum running from strong to weak.
You will have a huge number of relationships in your life. Some you will be aware of and actively managing and some you may be aware of but have no interest in managing. There may well be some you are aware of but have no ability or opportunity to manage and yet more of which you are simply unaware of at any level.
So how does knowing this help?
This whole series has been about emotional intelligence in the real world and has focused on developing and using EI as a leader or manager. Being an effective leader or manager is all about building solid sustainable relationships with other people, groups and organisations.
This is where the magic happens. Knowledge as they say is power.
As you will have been working on your emotional intelligence, you will be more self-aware and better able to regulate yourself. Also, you will have a better understanding about what makes other people tick. Now, you are ready to look at your relationship with the world in general and more specifically other people.
You can now begin to consciously and intentionally identify, investigate and then classify the relationships in your life. This will then allow you to redefine them if necessary or build upon them in new, interesting and beneficial ways.
Relationship connection comes first
The connection comes first, and you have a surprising amount of control over who you connect with and which groups you associate yourself with.
You may not be able to choose your family and relations, but you can choose your own friends. Up to a practical financial and skill-based limit, you can choose where you work and often, who you associate with within that working environment.
You can choose who you wish to approach to initiate a potential new relationship and you can refuse some or all such approaches to you if you so desire.
Bear this in mind because it is important; you always have choices.
With no connection there cannot be a practical personal or business relationship.
Relationship quality follows close behind
If a relationship exists at all then it follows that the relationship has some sort of inherent quality which defines that relationship. This inherent quality can also determine the stability and durability of the relationship. Any inherent qualities can be both positive and negative and can be symmetrical or asymmetrical within any relationship. Some qualities can overpower others and take control of or even destroy a relationship if not managed and controlled.
For example, in a marriage, if one partner deeply mistrusts the other, this can lead to paranoia and stress. The untrusted partner can become so upset with the suspicious atmosphere they seek external comfort and misbehave. They likely would not have misbehaved at all in a trusting environment. If this happens the mistrusting partner sees it as validation of their mistrust and it has in fact become a self-fulfilling prophesy. This is obviously not a high-quality relationship. Even if both parties split up and found other partners, they may inadvertently repeat the same negative behaviour with similar outcomes.
Any business or professional relationship can be impacted the same way. There can be high-quality and low-quality interactions.
Whilst you had quite a bit of control over the relationship connection, you can only ever have full control over one half of the relationship quality; your own half. This means you can always choose how you behave and respond, but you have no direct control over how the other party reciprocates. You can of course try to influence the other party or group but, if the situation is extremely bad the best thing to do may be to break the connection entirely and end the relationship.
Managing a relationship is a deliberate & conscious creative act
One of the key things with managing relationships is that word managing. You need to manage them. You need to manage the connections you make then you need to manage your contribution the quality of that relationship.
This management does not happen magically. Situations rarely fix themselves spontaneously.
The successful and effective management of a relationship really is a deliberate and conscious act. Ideally this happens on both sides of the relationship; these generally prove to be the better relationships overall.
Communication, compromise, respect, trust, understanding, listening, compassion, etc… are all key elements of positive healthy relationships. You need to be constantly checking and monitoring to ensure these elements are front and centre. If they are missing or disappearing, then some action will need to be taken. You will need to take charge and manage.
Bear in mind, you may be the party causing the issues. Manage yourself. Sort it out or break it off.
I also used the word creative here. Creativity is an important component in the management of any relationship. When things which have worked in the past stop working then you need to get creative. Try something new. If it fails, try something else. Use your judgement here and don't end up flogging a dead horse. Tenacity is a good trait, but stubbornness is not so good.
Relationships are not good when either party is too passive or too aggressive. Balance works best.
Is the EI puzzle complete now?
The four pillars have now been covered in this article series, but your work has only just begun. Like the game of chess, the rules can be straightforward enough, but it can take at least one lifetime to get good at the game.
You are hopefully more aware of emotional intelligence as both a concept and a practical learnable skill. I recommend making it a priority in your life. Firstly, seek your own balance across the four EI pillars. Then seek to raise your skill level in all the EI pillars equally and to as high a point as you can.
Life is not meant to be a spectator sport. Get involved in your own life and enjoy it to the max. If you are not in control of your life, then someone else will be. Trust me, controlling it yourself is far better.

Jeff 'The Gatorman' Waligora
Item Purchased:
1958 Les Paul Junior
Gator called up at 3:00 in the morning. "Ya'll got my guitar down there and I want it", he growled. I groggily tried to get my thoughts together as I had tied a real good one on just hours earlier. "Gator, is that you?" I croaked. "What the heck are you doing calling me at 3:00 in the danged morning?" Gator merely replied, "You boys got my Junior on your website and I want it put in a box and mailed up to me- pronto." I rolled my eyes in disbelief that I was even alive at this ungodly hour, much less yappin' about a guitar. I yelled, "Gator, I must not be the only one drinkin'. Why don't you do the human thing and give me a call during what most sane people would consider normal working hours?" Shouldn't have done that. Gator growled, "If you rednecks think I'm playing around, reach over with your right hand and tell me what you find." Now I was seriously mad and flopped my right hand over on the bed. What should have been a curvacious blonde German girl felt like a large pine tree trunk. And, it was moving and hissing. I screamed like a 16 year old virgin at a biker rally and jumped straight up, catching the light fixture with my now roughed- up right arm. Lying in the bed next to me was a 7 foot Nile crocodile with a note taped to it's back that read: "I want my geetar and I ain't a playin'" I put the phone back to my ear and whispered, "Gatorman, am I hallucinating or is that a danged alligator in my FREAKIN' BEDROOM?" Gator whispered, "That, my now wearing soiled pajamas friend is my step brother Elroy. He's there to make sure you get my Junior packed up and sent out in a somewhat timely fashion. Your wife is out back, duct- taped and upside down in your garbage can. I suggest you get ta packin'." The guitar was on it's way to Oregon the next morning and folks, when the Gatorman says jump, we don't ask how high, we just put on a Van Halen record and do what he says...Hey Gator- nice shirt!

I particularly dislike scrambled eggs. Flavorless egg curds? It does nothing for me. However, this recipe from the Bon Appétit April issue stood out to me immediately.
It was while I was still looking for recipes using leeks. I have also been wanting make something with fava beans. The huge Fava bean pods at the Farmers Market have been enticing me, I'm not sure why. I have a tendency to become fixated on random things for no discernable reason.
After making this dish I have to admit that it is entirely possible I will NEVER EVER cook with fava beans again. They were very high maintenance, and I think lima beans would be pretty much the same.
I cut the recipe in half, but other then that I pretty much followed it. Thats pretty unusual for me, I can't really explain it. It's probably because I don't make scrambled eggs on my own.
Scrambled Eggs with Leeks, Fava Beans, Crispy Breadcrumbs, and Parmesan Cheese
Adapted from Bon Appétit, for 4 servings
(Recipe mostly split in half, I didn't decrease the amount of fava beans)
For the Breadcrumbs:
1 cups good quality bread torn in small pieces (recipe calls for French bread but I used sourdough)
1 - ½ tablespoons olive oil
Fine sea salt
For the Eggs:
1 tablespoons (1/4 stick) butter
1 large leek, white and light green parts only, chopped and rinsed
1 cup peeled fresh fava beans or frozen (double-peeled)
6 large eggs (preferably organic)
¼ cup crème fraîche or sour cream
a couple dashes of fine sea salt
Wedge of Parmesan cheese
Thoroughly coat torn bread with olive oil and a pinch of salt
Spread evenly on a baking sheet and bake at 400° for 12-18minutes, until they are golden and crispy
Meanwhile, bring a pot of water to boil. Once boiling, add the peeled fava beans and cook for approx. 14 minutes or until tender
In a large bowl, whisk eggs with cream and salt
Melt butter over low heat in a large skillet or sauce-pan
Add leeks and sauté until tender, about 10 minutes
Stir in fava beans and increase heat to medium-high, then pour egg mixture into pan
Let sit (without stirring) until edges start to set. Then use a heat-proof spatula to gently stir mixture. Keep repeating, stirring more often as the eggs become more cooked
(There are good tutorials for easil;y making perfect scrambled eggs at Bon Appetit or Smitten Kitchen)
When eggs are still slightly creamy and a tad wet-looking, remove from heat and transfer to a serving dish
Top with crispy breadcrumbs and grated parmesan cheese
So, like I said before, I usually find scrambled eggs pretty gross. These were an exception! I may have to re-evaluate the opinion completely. They tasted better then I ever knew scrambled eggs could taste.
I can't say EXACTLY why these are sooooo good, but I think it is worth substituting sour cream for milk in a plain batch, they may be what made the difference.

Consumers have grown increasingly concerned about what enters their pets' mouths because of the pet food recalls from a few years ago. Pet owners were shocked to discover that the brands they'd trusted had let them down. In an effort to become proactive consumers, pet owners now carefully scrutinize the labels of every product that comes near their pets' mouth – including their pets' toys.
Pet toy manufacturers have responded to this growing concern about safety through the creation of more all-natural and organic pet toys. Additionally, more pet owners have started to look at the consequences of what they buy—where they go when they throw them away, what effect they have on the earth, and how they will affect their children's future. They can see how important it is to purchase products with sustainability in mind.
Traditional plush toys often use cotton treated with pesticides and herbicides in production, but some manufacturers have changed their philosophy to become more eco-friendly. Simply Fido's organic plush toys are made with certified organic cotton. These organic toys also contain natural dyes extracted from minerals and roots in place of traditional chemical dyes and bonding chemicals.
Pharmaceutical-grade, natural-rubber-based chew toys, like those made by My Good Dog, also appeal to consumers looking for safe toys for their pets.
Organic catnip, made by manufacturers such as DuckyWorld Products, Inc. have also become increasingly popular choices for felines. E.A.T.S.—Edible Animal Treats also offers edible "jawbreaker-like" treats for Fluffy, which pose a great alternative to non-consumable chew toys made of fabric or plastic.
West Paw Design, which makes eco-friendly pet beds, has added a toy line for consumers looking for green pet toys for cats and dogs. Made from recycled plastic soda bottles and post-consumer fibers, these products are durable and come in all the same designs and colors as their less eco-friendly counterparts.

I just submitted my last four assignments for my first semester of PhD level coursework and I am so unbelievably relieved to have it all behind me that I am literally just sitting here breathing in and out and feeling the tension drain from my body. I'm so overwhelmed to be done with it that I am actually dizzy.
In August I started these classes that have been really enjoyable in many ways, but demanding nonetheless. Starting your first semester as a doctoral student is, I'm told, kind of a big deal and you should probably take it easy in other areas of your life to make the transition to this level of academic rigor as smooth as possible.
That would have been peachy.
Instead, I started a new (and fabulous) job that's kind of a big freaking deal for my family. This is the fourth "new school" I've transferred to in my 15 years as an educator, and I know how the process goes with orienting to a new school. It has gone well, as it always has in my previous "lives" but it also requires an awful lot of intentional effort to build relationships with kids and colleagues. None of that has been hard, but it has been busy.
Also, we moved, and that was kind of a big huge freaking deal for my people, too. This was the third time we had listed our old home in the past few years, and we did get an offer pretty quickly but the closing process got extended a few times and that caused quite a bit of stress for us as well as the sweet folks we were buying from. By the time closing came around, The Captain was in Kenya and we decided that as his girls, we could not only handle signing papers, we could also handle moving our whole house to surprise him when he got home. That was a fun kind of stress, but still not easy.
The new job and new house meant new schools for all three of my sweet honeybuns. We were so overwhelmingly sad to move them from their old schools because everyone loved our girls so well in our former schools. Sassafras struggled a bit at first but is now settled in nicely to her new school. Pearl took to her new place pretty quickly, and for that we are abundantly thankful. Even Sweet Love has done pretty well, though a frequent complaint is that she won't eat the food at her new school. "Eh, she'll eat when she's hungry," I say...and then whisper a silent prayer of thanks that she isn't trying to moon her class.
So, so much new. There have been a few points, at my most desperate and exhausted places, when I looked at my calendar and list of things to do, projects to complete, places we had to travel...and I thought Fall of 2016 is actually trying to murder me.
So many things that we should have taken one at a time, but that just isn't how life has rolled for us - this semester...or, who am I kidding, any semester!
We're already looking forward into the second term and making plans for more classes, more activities, more goals to achieve. For now, though, we'll just be right here breathing and feeling the good kind of dizzy and realizing that Fall of 2016 didn't kill us after all. It only made us stronger.
Merry Christmas, everybody!

The Whatevers - Margaret's Regrets
This month's Whatevers picture is this image of a woman. You can find her by checking out the blog posts by Catherine, Nathalie, and Vicki to read their stories and play along with the Whatevers. I've placed the photo of wistful Margaret into my journal on a multi-layered background that started with modeling paste through a stencil and then had distress inks added, paint stamped, and paper collaged to it from various scraps: postcards from French Kissed Postcards, vintage stamps from a Stampington collage sheet, and strips from French themed sheets from Digital Collage Sheets.
The right side closer up:
...and the left side contains her story:
Margaret always did what was expected of her. She married at 18, and while raising two sons and a daughter, she somehow managed to keep her household running smoothly. There were always times though when she found herself wondering how her life could've been different...
Her cousin Evelyn had run off to Paris in order to escape a marriage. She renamed herself Genviève and rumor had it she posed for famous painters and sculptors. Such scandalous behavior was never talked about in family conversation, but there were times when Margaret remembered her and considered how if she had had just a bit of her bravery she could have interesting stories of her own to tell.
So instead of continuing to sit in the chair all prim and proper with her hands neatly clasped in her lap, Margaret thought of Genviève as she looked off into the distance and raised her right hand to her cheek...

"Got the hump" didn't appear in either of the books in the Phil Are GO! Library of Slang and Unconventional English. The Research and Googling Brigade had to resort to a web search...
UK informal
› to get upset and annoyed with someone because you think they have done something bad to you
It looks like this ad is using the expression in a broader down-in-the-dumps sense, implying that bad posture with a humped back indicates that you're bummed out. They just really wanted to use that super hilarious camel joke, obviously.
I'd never heard of Kruschen salts before, and a web search only points to pictures of ads like this one, or pictures of the bottle. A little further digging brings up a list of ingredients. A couple of "alternative medicine" sites talk about the health benefits, but alt med people are superstitious goofs that enjoy magical thinking, like homeopathy. Their recommendation has nothing to do with reality.
The NIH says that ingredients like various sodiums and potassiums mostly treat constipation. WebMD was surprisingly useless for almost all of these ingredients. Ask WebMD what these do and you'll be answered with a "consult your physician". It seems WebMD's lawyers feel that
you're better off they're better off with you not knowing about things. Www.drugs.com was much more helpful.
• Magnesium Sulfate (Laxative)
• Potassium Chloride (Benefits kidneys, heart, muscles, nerves)
• Potassium Iodate (No such thing. Maybe an outdated name for something else?)
• Potassium Sulfate (Laxative)
• Sodium Chloride (table salt) (Necessary for life.)
• Sodium Sulfate (Laxative)
So, mostly Kruschen seems to help "get the train out of the station". And, apparently, this is the face of a blissfully empty station owner. Right click this evacuated gent onto your hard drive because you never know when you'll want to scare the shit out of someone. You're welcome.

I love all two faced products. All the products I have tried have worked amazing. They can be pricey but you get what you pay for. I would recommend their products to others. I buy my products at ulta
This product was gentle on my eyes and didn't cause them to burn, like so many products do. I found it to be a great concealer for cancelling out my dark circles and under eye bags. It is packaged nicely. I would recommend this product to others b/c you won't be disappointed.
I love this brand's marketing. I find it hilarious and witty and it always catches my attention. And I love the product. It isn't heavy or sticky for a concealer and it lasts a long time. And the product itself is a small container but lasts through many uses. I would buy it again.
The most amazing product i have ever tried. This is best used for blemishes and under eyes. does not look cakey with the rest of the makeup. Has great texture and very easy to blend with a blending brush. I would buy this product again and again so fun.
I love the color's it's not to Dark.I have to play with them more but so far I love them.I want to try more too Faced products because I have heard that most of the products too faced have are really good.
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS. I use this every single day . It's definitely worth buying. I haven't found a product that works this good. It's easy to apply and blend.
My niece has it. She applies before every eyeshadow application. Live it because my eye shadow downstairs crease. My niece is a make up artist I only trust her to do my makeup. I love when I just need a pick me kinda day she my go to girl. She has top of the line products she's uses on her clients. I so would buy more of this product and I highly recommend it to others as well.
It is always dark under my eyes so I love using this to make my eyes look natural. Not only does it take away my bags but it makes my skin softer at the end of the day. Overall I love Too faced products and will try each one of them and never had a complaint
too faced is sucha good brand . also with nice packaging and good products for the price . i got this product a cpl months ago and use it all the time and still have sum left !!! its a grest product highly reccomended too anyone looking for a eye base
Great eye primer. Goes on smooth. Wait a few minutes and apply your eyeshadow which the. Will last all day. No creases. Just a huge help all around. Makes a huge difference when it's not all caked or gone and no need to reapply which is a life saver.
Does this cover dark circle well?
Does this help your eyeshadow stay longer?

I wonder where the Siskins I see in the winter (in south Hokkaido, Japan) come from...............Russia I guess?

Hello, it is cool to recapture one of your Siskins. They are beautiful birds. Happy Birding, I hope the rain goes away! Happy Tuesday, enjoy your day!
- April 4, 2017 at 12:02 PM
- Linda said...
Awwwww.....what a beautiful little bird, Phil! Here in Montreal it is a very rainy day today. Yesterday it was sunny and mild. But I am O.K. with the rain, because for one things, the birds don't mind, as they get a free bath, and secondly, because of "April showers bring May flowers." I hope you have a fantastic week! :)
- April 4, 2017 at 5:43 PM
- David Gascoigne said...
It's great that you have recoveries, Phil. I am looking forward to the return of our Barn Swallows so that we can see if we are able to retrap any of the birds we banded last fall. But the greatest story with which I am familiar is of a Canadian research who banded Semipalmated Plovers on the James Bay Lowlands and then discovered one of the birds she had banded, in Surinam when doing winter research down there.

Thanks to you Phil I actually recognise a siskin while watching a TV programme last night. I said to husband Eddie, "that's a siskin they are holding" (they were ringing it) he asked how did I know ... my reply "I read and saw about them on Phil's blog!"
So thank you.
All the best Jan

Smith Micro Software sells the Software MANGA STUDIO EX:
http://www.my-smithmicro.de/manga-studi ... oggle-id-8
Now I read an article in the magazine Digital Production 4/2016
about Clip Studio Paint EX 1.54:
[Original in German, translated back to English by me:]
"... Comic Studio, Clip Studio Paint and Manga Studio - all the same software?
Actually the software was named differently in different parts of the world -
in Japan "Comic Studio" in Europe "Manga Studio 5" - who could understand that? ..."
I found this webpage about Clip Studio Paint:
So I thought Clip Studio Paint could be a predecessor of Manga Studio (because of
the text "was named in Europe Manga Studio 5".
So I expected a relink to the Smith Micro Software web side of Manga Studio 5
but instead you can pay at the side for Clip Studio Paint.
So is there a link between Smith Micro Manga Studio and Clip Studio Paint
("was named in Europe Manga Studio") or is it completely different software?

TextExpander has gone to a subscription model, and, as almost always, Michael Tsai gives you the best rundown of what's been going on. Here are two of the quotes he shares:
But if you're having a hard time following, I can sum it up even more quickly:
Smile is charging the consumer market too much for their subscription to TextExpander.
Charge consumers $2 a month, $20 for a year for recurring subscriptions, and you'll see folks signing up and paying with as much laissez-faire as they do their overpriced phone bills. Problems solved.
These micro-subscriptions are just smart. Now you've got a workaround for trials, as someone can now experience all of your service for $2. And you've got a workaround for updates, since you're charging everyone for the upgrade every month.
But the conversation about subscriptions in general is interesting. And powerful. I caught a little of the Back to Work podcast on the topic, and the TextExpander stuff starts at 45:25 (btw, why, oh why are so many techesque podcasts so danged long? Sheesh. Shout out to Manton's Timetable.)
A while into their discussion, after all the description of what TextExpander does, is this:
So there's my point... if it costs more to cover features folks don't use, well, people will leave. I think most people quickly realize this subscription isn't just more cash than they were paying before, but a lot more cash. As Tsai points out:
More interesting is this:
So for HPVD, that's $8-$12 for Hulu, $15 for HBO, $8-$12 for Netflix, so $31-$39 a month. Sheesh, Higher Pitched Voice Dude. That's a lot. LPVD is right on the money -- That's a lot to pay for something you use "a bit". Do we really think we couldn't lose $1-2 a month for TextExpander in that bucket of monthly payments somewhere?
Quick point: Katie Floyd does not frame this correctly:
ARGH. Comma splice. Hate it. ;^) /rant
Actual point: Business is not welfare. You have to earn the money. They're asking for too much money.
If they were 12 bums and they refused handouts of less than $5? Might work. But it's chancy.
Prediction: Smile drops the price for consumer use.
Edit 12 April: As an old, fat, bald, orange man would say, I believe I had that.
Labels: business, hats of money, indie, subscriptions, TV

I came across this article while doing a bit of research and I liked these card games to play with people in the early to mid stages of memory loss. I like the author's enthusiasm and the games sound like they would help people reminisce, socially connect- as well as have a good time. However, I do not think they would be helpful for people in the late stages of dementia.
check them out: Memory Card Games for Alzheimer's and Dementia Patients.

I can't believe my first week at Psychologies magazine has gone already! I'm loving being in the Psychologies office, everyone is really friendly and has made me feel very welcome, and it's the first time an Editor has offered to make me a cup of tea, rather than vice versa!
The office is so different to anywhere I've worked previously - set in a barn in what is essentially a field in the middle of nowhere, it has a really homely feel to it, a complete contrast to the corporate magazine offices in Old London Town. Of course, the fact that one of the key members of the features team is a dog named Oscar also massively contributes towards my love for the job!
Monday was a plethora of meetings, which was a really good way to get to know the features team. I was more than surprised at the end of the meeting when Suzy, the Editor, turned to me and asked if there was anything I wanted to write about - another first in my many forays into the world of magazine offices!
I have been given a couple of long term projects to be working on - that's all I'm saying, but keep your eyes peeled on the January issue for the results- and have been given some responsibility for the social media channels.
I'm already looking forward to next week as I've got a couple of events lined up (including the press preview of the Natural History Museum Photography Exhibition- eeeek!) and a celebrity interview to do on Thursday (mouth firmly zipped as to who, but watch this space!)
Friday, 11 October 2013
Tuesday, 1 October 2013
Finally, I'm getting somewhere!
Good news, kids! 15 months after graduating, many work experience placements and a lot of applications later, I've gone and landed myself a job in journalism! As of next Monday, I have an editorial internship (admittedly unpaid, but whatever your opinion on unpaid internships – and I've had many opinions over the years- I've resigned myself to the knowledge that they are completely necessary for career progression in the media industry) at Psychologies magazine. Woo and indeed hoo!
I'm not sure exactly what I'll be doing yet, hopefully a mixture of work across the website, magazine, and their social media channels. All I know is that there is already a project lined up for me, and I'm very excited!

Summer is officially over, a new month begins, as does a new season and Aperó Chic comes to us once again, from the creative mind of Le Faubourg Lounge Bar's Manager Nico Wieduwilt. Each month he and his team curate an elegant menu of sublime drinks – a new one each week for guests to try at the special price of €10.
Saturday 1st October to Sunday 9th October: Pimms Cup
For those of you not quite ready to let go of summer, the Pimms Cup is the quintessential drink. You can be sure your summer feeling will last longer than it should. The Pimms Cup contains Pimms No.1, fresh orange, fresh lemon, fresh mint leaves, cucumber and the spicy finish of ginger ale.
Monday 10th October to Sunday 16th October:
Ah Lillet! That delectable aperitif that flowed at all the greatest parties throughout Europe in the 20's and 30's. The Lillet brothers created this blend of Bordeaux wines and hand crafted fruit liqueurs and it is still produced today in Podensac, France where the idea was originally conceived. It's fruit flavours are beautifully enhanced in this cocktail by the addition of fresh raspberries and a good splash of Schweppes Russian Wild Berry.
Monday 17th October to Sunday 23rd October: White Lady
You can't go far wrong with a classic Gin cocktail and the White lady is certainly that. Using British Tanquery gin, fresh lemon juice and a splash of cointreau, it is just the refreshing, citrusy drink you need to brighten your day, carry you into dinner or freshen you up after a long day or a long leisurely dinner. So yes basically any time of the day is White Lady time!
Monday 24th October to Monday 31st November: Jameson Spezial
Ah Autumn, nothing quite captures the taste of it like this cocktail will. Jameson Whiskey, is mixed with fresh lime and the crispest of ginger ales to give you the best spicy entrance into the season.
Sofitel Berlin Kurfürstendamm's Apéritif Ajourd'hui: each week during the month, a featured beverage is served at the special price of €10, giving guests the opportunity to try some very interesting wines from around the world as well as some of the bar's signature cocktails.

BUSINESS leaders in North Wales were told yesterday that a massive transformation had been made to the Welsh economy, but the public and private sectors must continue to work closely together to further boost performance.
Welsh Development Agency chief executive Graham Hawker said there was work to be done to improve the accessibility, quality and relevance of business support services.
The WDA, through its role as lead organisation for indigenous business development, is setting up a gateway to business support services.
Mr Hawker said: "There can be a tendency for the public sector to develop products, particularly in the area of business support, and then apply them in the businesses that take up the relevant offer of help.
"We have to change this product driven approach to one where we increase our understanding of what businesses as groups, sectors or individual businesses need and develop and apply products accordingly.''
He said business support products will be scrapped where there was no longer a market demand or where the "bang for buck is simply not enough.''
Addressing business and WDA partner organisation representatives at St Asaph, Mr Hawker said there was much still to be done to improve the economic environment, including the need to develop in the public sector a culture which was less "risk averse.'' Skills, IT and funding were also critical factors.
WDA chairman Roger Jones told the meeting: "Our task during the 21st century is to restore our country to the leading edge of technological development. After all the difficulties of recent times, I particularly welcome the initiatives to strengthen the economy of our rural areas - in the field of agri-food and agri-business, forestry and in the recently launched Farming Connect service."

Editor's note: This is the latest in a series of stories about congregations engaged in significant outreach and evangelism ministries, reflecting the General Assembly's commitment to "Grow Christ's Church Deep and Wide." — Jerry L. Van Marter
Five members of Community Presbyterian Church in Crestline, Calif., found this out firsthand when they took on a surprising community project.
In addition to the church — which has about 40 members — the Crestline area is home to the Pilot Rock Conservation Camp, a California Department of Corrections facility that houses nonviolent inmates who are nearing the end of what may be lengthy prison sentences and have earned the right to be housed in what is known as an honor camp.
Primarily drug or alcohol offenders, these inmates have already served the majority of their sentences elsewhere and are nearing their release date or will soon be eligible for parole. Pilot Rock is an honor facility in that there are no bars and inmates have the freedom to move around the facility.
Nancy Laughlin, Mission and Stewardship chairwoman, and Jan McMurtry, a member of Community who had been involved in adult literacy programs, began to think about the men at Pilot Rock and what they might be able to do to help them.
"Sometimes people make bad choices because they don't have the life skills and knowledge that they need to do the right things," said McMurtry.
Laughlin and McMurtry approached the lieutenant in charge of the Pilot Rock camp with the idea of creating a literacy program for prisoners. The lieutenant, in favor of rehabilitation of inmates, responded favorably and shared the idea with the inmates to gauge interest. Within hours of their meeting, the lieutenant contacted the women to tell them he already had three men interested in the program.
"All of our churches are doing things," said Anita Hendrix of the Presbytery of Riverside. "But this is just so beyond the normal things. It's so unique and unusual and it shows what even a small church can do. For a tiny church, they are very involved and faithful."
McMurtry echoed this sentiment.
"We're small, but we are a very active and healthy congregation," she said. "We were looking for something feasible for a small church to handle, and the Pilot Rock program seemed like a good fit for us."
Five volunteers were secured from the church and were trained by McMurtry, who already had tutor training from her other adult literacy work. What is perhaps surprising is that all of the volunteers were older women, the last people most might expect to be interested in going into a prison to work with inmates of mixed backgrounds.
The program began in January. Each Monday night, the women carpool to the camp and meet with the men participating in the program from 6 p.m.-7:30 p.m. They primarily help with reading skills, but can also help with written language and math skills to accommodate men who are working on GED requirements.
Three men showed up for the first session for reading assistance, but word spread and McMurtry said that they have since worked with 14 or 15 of the 85 men housed at the facility. Volunteers expect that number will continue to grow as their students spread the word. If the program continues to expand, the church might seek additional volunteers to help tutor.
While the men at Pilot Rock have benefitted, the women of Community Presbyterian Church have as well. They've found the inmates at Pilot Rock to be courteous, cooperative and always willing to learn. They are eager, focused, attentive and excited by their accomplishments, as are the ladies that helped them learn. The ladies note that the men have all responded positively to working with "strangers" who care about them.
It's this positive effect that persuaded the ladies to expand their work to include the families of the men.
"When someone goes to prison, it doesn't just affect them," McMurtry said. "There is a family that is affected as well. There are wives and children that often have to cope with the situation too and we wanted to do something positive for them as well."
The volunteers worked with Pilot Rock personnel to provide family activities on special occasions; the first of these was on Easter. The church sponsored a Sunday afternoon of family time including egg hunts, cookie decorating and a visit from the Easter bunny. This month the volunteers will host their second event, a Back to School Family Celebration of Education, during which they plan to provide school supplies for each school-age child of the inmates.
To the ladies working with the Pilot Rock Literacy Program, it seemed like a simple community project that was feasible for their small church. To everyone else — including their students — it seemed surprising that this group would show so much care and compassion to a group that most people, especially older women, would just as soon avoid.
Yet it's the ladies of the Pilot Rock program who feel the most blessed.
"We take away twice as much as we give," said McMurtry. "We feel so good about what they give to us."

We're back on the road...
View Priddis Meeting Spot (PMS) in a larger map
As for the course, we'll form up at the meeting spot and once started everyone heads south along 22 to the Millarville turnoff (549) where we go west until range road 33. North along Range Road 33 to Plummers road where we turn eastwards, drift north, and finally eastward again to 22 where we start another lap. The race will finish along Plummer's Road just before you get back to 22 the second time. Its a nice easy cool down ride back to the meeting spot. A's and B's will make two loops of the square, C's and novices will make one.
View Priddis Meeting Spot (PMS) in a larger map
I need just a few volunteers for this one and it would be great if I had enough to run a novice group during the race. It's fun to watch these ones too as it's evolving craziness out there.
Should be fun.

How are the points calculated?

Good question. The basic format this year has been 15 for 1st, 12 for 2nd, 10 for 3rd, 9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1,1,1,1,1... and I give points for volunteering as well. I do adjust if someone races up a category on a particular night but I keep it pretty much straight forward and I think that this points system pretty much means that the series is won on the road and that's the goal.

Not to complain, but maybe you can re-run the numbers on the C's when you have some time to kill.

Good catch. I had you guys from last week as B's as Kailee had raced B the week previously but alas, you're right and once I consolodated the points, it should be right.

The Sports Xchange
EDMONTON, Alberta -- The Montreal Canadiens didn't look at all like a team playing its second game in as many nights as they scored three straight goals and then held off some furious Oilers pressure Thursday night to post a 4-1 victory.
The Canadiens fell behind 1-0 on Ryan Smyth's first goal of the season at 2:28 of the first, but took charge after that, scoring twice in the second and twice more in the third to improve to 2-2 on the season.
It was anybody's game until Alex Galchenyuk's goal at 12:15 of the third period, a 2-on-1 with Brendan Gallagher, gave Montreal a 3-1 lead.
In a late act of desperation, Edmonton coach Dallas Eakins pulled his goalie with 4:18 to play in the third period, resulting in Maz Pacioretty's empty-netter in the final moments.
Despite playing the night before in Calgary, the Canadiens went stride for stride with an Edmonton team playing on two days rest.
The Habs were put to the test early, having to kill a couple of early penalties -- Rene Bourque at the 26 second mark and Alex Galchenyuk at 2:41 -- and answered with a pair of very good kills, limiting Edmonton to just two shots.
Devan Dubnyk, who struggled in his first two starts and brought a 6.53 GAA and .831 save percentage into the game, had a strong first period, stopping all 12 Montreal shots in the first period.
Edmonton had another early power play to start the second period and this time they made good on it, with a falling Smyth getting some wood on a Taylor Hall centering pass.
Montreal tied it up with a power play goal of its own -- Brendan Gallagher's one-timer from the back door -- at 9:24.
Just three minutes later, the Smyth, Boyd Gordon and Nail Yakupov line got caught chasing their tails against Montreal's fourth line, leading to a Brandon Prust tap-in at 12:05.
NOTES: Thursday's game marked the first time that Yakupov and former junior teammate Alex Galchenyuk, who went first and third overall in the 2012 draft, faced each other in the NHL. ... The Canadiens were 6-1-1 in the second game of back-to-backs last season. ... Edmonton leaves Friday morning for a six-game, 13-day road trip beginning in Toronto. ... Oilers LW Ryan Smyth returned to the lineup after spending the last game in the press box. He scored his first goal of the season in the second period. ... Canadiens LW Max Pacioretty returned to the lineup after missing Wednesday's game in Calgary with an arm injury. ... Montreal tough guy George Parros, who had to be taken off the ice on a stretcher after smacking his chin on the ice during a fight last week, is free of concussion symptoms.

Armstrong World Industries, Lancaster, Pennsylvania, has participated in the circular economy for more than 17 years. Some say it is the new buzzword, combining the thinking from cradle to cradle, closed loop or extended producer responsibility; but it incorporates a very important change—the elimination of waste altogether.
Armstrong World Industries is committed to this opportunity by eliminating waste through our lean manufacturing processes in all of our 21 facilities around the world. We have not only redesigned our products, but also our processes to make less waste and be more efficient. This also makes good business sense.
Since its inception in 1999, the Armstrong Ceiling Recycling Program has recycled more than 173 million square feet of reclaimed commercial ceiling panels globally. This represents more than 86,500 tons that have been diverted from landfills since the program began.
Our ceiling recycling program enables commercial building owners and contractors to salvage ceiling panels removed during demolition and renovation projects and return them to the nearest Armstrong plant as an alternative to landfill disposal. Armstrong uses the reclaimed ceilings to make new ceiling panels in a closed-loop manufacturing process. The new panels are designated as Ceiling-2-Ceiling products.
By participating in the program, a demolition crew is able to place the salvaged ceiling panels on pallets or in containers. When the material is removed and ready for pickup, a recycling contractor transports them back to its facility where the ceiling panels are made ready for pickup by Armstrong.
The streamlined process enables a demolition crew to remove used ceilings from 12 of the 18 floors of a project in one week (saving time and money on labor), increases safety and helps maintain a clean job site.
Speedy removal of the old ceilings also allows the mechanical contractors open access to the plenum. They are able to identify which materials need to stay above the ceiling and which need to be removed without having to deal with the ceiling panels. It creates a more efficient and quicker demolition process.
One example of savings on one large demolition project in Chicago, the developer had sent 220,000 square feet of old ceiling panels back to Armstrong World Industries for recycling, diverting roughly 110 tons of construction waste away from the local landfill.
This process also saved up to 30 percent on container costs and landfill fees and contributed to Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) credits for Construction Waste Management.
The Armstrong Recycling Program is a truly closed-loop process which reduces the use of virgin materials and also reduces the footprint of our products by using recycled streams. We also have set up a separate recycling center to handle customer information requests, registering projects, review and approval of buildings and materials, and setting up the logistics to return the ceilings.
It really starts with building owners to include the concept of recycling in their construction practices and to make it mandatory for all members of their construction team.
Our participation in the circular economy is a major commitment to our sustainability platform, the Armstrong GreenPrint. Our GreenPrint focuses on people, process and product. The end of life initiative touches on all three of these important areas.
Since 2008, we have been practicing life-cycle assessment methodologies, design for the environment practices to optimize our products by reducing their impacts, eliminating toxins and chemicals of concern and incorporating design for disassembly so the end of life for the product can participate in the circular economy we created.
Our industry's mindset is currently in the take, make and dispose of model. Buildings account for 40 percent of the materials used and 30 percent of total waste. Most of these materials are recyclable, including steel, brick and wood. However, it is difficult to instill a change in habits or processes.
Challenges remain, including making the internal business case for it, updating antiquated public policies to promote circular strategies and educating our industry about the benefits. It really starts with the building owner to include the concept of recycling in their construction practices and to make it mandatory for all members of their construction team.
Ultimately, it's about making a choice to do your part for the environment. We do have some pull with state and local ordinances that set a mandatory diversion rate on construction projects.
For example, California's Green Building Standards Code (CALGreen) requires the diversion of at least 50 percent of the construction waste generated during most new construction projects. This is a great model with numerous tools on CalRecycle to aid in incorporating recycling into codes and implementing it in projects. This certainly has room to grow nationally, as well as has room for adoption locally.
Just imagine, a different state, where everyone is participating in the circular economy, and not producing waste or pollution. This would definitely lead to a brighter view, as well as being restorative and regenerative in both our processes and in the design of new products.

Team Associated SC8 is a Nitro!
"Just after posting the new pictures Team Associated released of the SC8 we stumbled upon two small pictures on their site which clearly show that the SC8 is indeed nitro powered. Although its hard to tell the SC8 looks to be based on the RC8 and features a removable roll cage and possibly an electric starter, or at the very least a remote glow plug igniter. Stay tuned for more info."

Stormy Conditions at Killard NR bring in the Arctic Skuas
In the past few days there has been a strong southerly wind coming up the Irish Sea. This is when it is great to go out to Killard as the sound of the waves crashing on the rocks is awesome. It is conditions like these that you can on occasion get to see Storm Petrels feeding in the outer surf and Manx Shearwaters can come in quite close. There is also the chance of seeing Arctic Skua mobbing the Terns to get their catches.
On Saturday I was out there and unfortunately was texting a friend when an Arctic Skua flew directly over my head and out towards Kearney on the side of the entrance into Strangford Lough. I didnt notice it until it was flying away so only got a distant shot. I then watched it for about 20 minutes mobbing both Terns and Gannets.This was an Adult pale morph bird.(I stand to be corrected though)
This is the view on a calmer day from Killard towards Kearney on the Ards Peninsula taking in the Tower on the Angus Rocks at the entrance to Strangford Lough.
On Sunday I was out again and there were quite a few Gannets here is one with the Isle of Man in the background.
There are also quite a few Sandwich Terns that fly south of Killard to collect fish to take back to their chicks in Strangford Lough. This is one heading South
and this one is heading back North after a successful catch.
On this occasion I didnt go onto the beach as the waves were pretty big and my dog just runs straight into the sea so walked behind the beach where I saw a couple of Wheatear. I couldn't get that close to them. I then headed to a little sheltered spot where I have a makeshift seat from driftwood from which to scan the sea. It was from here that I saw over a period of an hour hundreds of Manx Shearwater flying by and two Storm Petrels. They are quite hard to get onto and as the waves were fairly big one minute you see them and the next they are in the trough.They are the same size as a Wheatear only about 15cms long.
This has to be one of my favourite spots in Northern Ireland.

So, you say you just read something about TARP on a blog or heard it on a Talk Radio program that made your blood boil? Or you had a incredible brainstorm while driving to work this morning on how to make the Treasury Department work better? Maybe you just want to let Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner know what you think of the job he is doing.
Whatever your desire, the Treasury Department has now put up a web site under the White House's Open Government initiative that is designed to give anybody and everybody with access to the Internet an opportunity to submit suggestions, criticisms, outraged protests, or even constructive ideas.
Not only can you submit your own, you can also read those submitted by others and vote them up or down. Those getting the most votes are more likely to be heeded, so expect this web site to soon become a political football
But that doesn't mean it can't be a useful tool in the transpartisan effort to improve transparency and accountability in government at all levels. Check it out here and give it a try. And don't forget, Geithner works for you, not the other way around.

People who are employing real USA ips to seek different kinds of advantages and these benefits keep varying from type of proxy utilised and kind of services undertaken from service providers. Free IP changer services are less effective than paid ones, and paid services serve your job to greater extend. New IP is required for various reasons by different kind of the Internet users. Internet users belong to different categories, individuals, groups, and organizations and the usage is for different activities. Individuals who are self-employed and working for offshore activities will need to contact customers of diversified activities and when it is advertising activities you will have to keep changing your IP address just to seek a re-entry into websites, which had restricted you before. Similar situation is encountered by agents attending calls at call centers. In both cases, IP changer software will solve the purpose because it will keep changing IP addresses repeatedly according to instructions given to Proxy rental service provider, of course, your preferences should match to package selected by you for better service, dynamic ips.
Proxies have several advantages, it has fast browsing speed, it does not affect operating speeds of computer desktop when employed for usage, instead, its features help users to guide and govern on issues of safety and privacy. Private proxies have the ability to transfer your information from origination to destination in much safe and secured manner. Information delivered by a sender is intercepted by hired proxy and it does message encryption and at the destination inscription of message is done properly. This process of encryption and inscription will definitely protect the information from being stolen by hackers. Another area where these best proxies come up to your usage is the time taken to upload or download an information will be less than usual. This will reduce the Internet expenditure, save time, and save money. A fast dedicated private proxies can engage better services and there are many companies in the markets, which are come forward to protect the interests of the Internet users. Dynamic Ips are utilised by employers in order to tap the activities conducted by the employees. Employers spy on employees just to check the amount of task done by them over the assigned work. This spying activity is conducted by hiring IP proxy services. IP Proxy services are given authority to access Internet Protocol address of employees terminals and at the end of the set tenure they will give a detailed report to employers about the employees activities through the working hours. Hence, for employers, changing a dynamic IP for IP addresses will help a better know how about organizational activities.
Private proxies are served in the USA throughout by RDSL services and many proxy rental services have been service vendors to these RSL services. Subscribers are given options to select IP randomly that are made available by different locations. People can avail the benefit of proxy services by making payments over credit card or make payments by PayPal. Usually, proxy service subscriber will be given access depending on the selection of packages, you will be allowed up to 15 Ips per order and few customised offers allow subscribers to view proxies, in activities such as, add, or remove, or modify your authorized Ips around 24 by 7.

Reduce Junk Mail
You're trying to reduce, reuse, and recycle, but every day your mailbox is full of paper, most of it junk. Marketers call it "direct mail," but all that unwanted mail is clogging your mailbox, cluttering your home, choking the environment, and threatening the safety of your identity. Although you can't escape mail altogether, here are some tips on how to reduce the junk.
1. Remove your name from Direct Marketing Association (DMA) mailing lists. Go to www.dmachoice.org and click on "Remove My Name From Those Lists." They will send you a verification email, and they will need a credit card (which will not be charged) for identity verification. You can also verify by mail for a $1 charge. DMA allows you to remove yourself from all lists, or select catalogs and companies individually.
2. Remove your name from pre-screened credit offers. To reduce all of those credit card offers, go to www.optoutprescreen.com or call 1-888-5-Opt-Out (1-888-567-8688). This is a free service offered by the major credit bureaus. You can opt-out electronically for five years, or forever by mail.
3. Try to buy over the phone instead of online. At the end of the call, ask the sales representative not to send you any catalogs, to keep you off of their mailing list, and not to sell or trade your name. Most reputable stores have codes in their computer systems for these requests. Sign up for coupons by email instead, if you prefer.
4. When you buy something online, read the terms of agreement and privacy policy. I know, they're really long and boring, but they may have insights into what you can do to keep your name off of mailing lists. Many online order forms have checkboxes to opt-in to their mailing lists. Often the checkbox is already checked, and you have to know to uncheck it if you want to be
excluded from their list.
5. If all else fails, call the company. When you get unwanted junk mail, put it in a pile or envelope labeled "Remove from Lists." Set aside an hour a month to call them and ask them not to send you any more mail and not to sell or trade your name. Mark the date you called on the mail, and refer back to it if you receive a lot more mail from them. Remember, large mailings with your name may already be in process when you call, so it can take up to two months for you to stop receiving mail from companies.
Major life changes like moving or name changes open you up for more junk mail, because it changes the basic information registered with these agencies. If you move or change your name, remember to re-register.

A$AP Rocky's New Album Gets Early Release
A$AP Rocky's trippy year has just peaked with the surprise release overnight of his new album, At.Long.Last.ASAP.
The Harlem rapper's sophomore set was originally slated to drop on June 2, but he alerted his fans of the quick release with a pair of tweets overnight.
The 18-track A.L.L.A. (via ASAP Worldwide and RCA Records) features collaborations with Kanye West, Schoolboy Q, Miguel, M.I.A., Mos Def, Juicy J, Lil Wayne and veteran British crooner Rod Stewart.
Rocky arguably timed the debut of A.L.L.A. to perfection. He's hogging social media with his comments to the New York Post about how he "f—ed nine chicks" after dropping acid with ILoveMakonnen at SXSW. He keeps his party tales going on the new album with the track "L$D," the video for which appeared online in recent days. "I've been doing this stuff since I got into the industry," he told Billboard about his drug use. "People are scared to talk about it."
A.L.L.A. is the latest in a long list of hip-hop albums to arrive unexpectedly in the first half of 2015. New recordings by Drake, Kendrick Lamar and Earl Sweatshirt all dropped early or without the tactical hype and buildup typically associated with a frontline campaign.
