Good News 2017 - Don’t Miss Out On This Moneymaking Offer!
Good News 2017 – Don’t Miss Out On This Moneymaking Offer!
Good news for 2017 – don’t miss this moneymaking offer, a project I have been working on during 2016 involving my new educational service! I will tell you all about it today.
Ahhh, the past year 2016 went by way too fast along with all the challenges and I’m sure I am not the only one feeling this way. Once again it’s winter here and once again I have moved to a new place! How could I just move when I still had a job to attend? Simple, I quit!! Last year I had just reached my first milestone; working part-time. But the ultimate long-term goal was to completely quit my regular job and fully rely on my binary options trading. This year, I can say that I finally reached that goal and that’s good news for both you and me. How so? Well, you need to keep reading ;). I also experimented with doing webinars and we slowly transited to YouTube and created the CommuniTraders Live channel. It turned out to be a much better platform for doing my public webinars so thank you all for your support, feedback, subscriptions, likes, shares and comments!
Yearly routine cat pic plus the new (still empty) home.
The CommuniTraders Live YouTube channel keeps growing thanks to you, our wonderful viewers! My initial goal was to overshadow the scam YouTube channels with a channel that focuses on proper education based on my own real life trading experiences. Surely, we still have a long way to go but I am optimistic – our viewers understand the importance and the quality of good education and prefer that over “get-rich-quick” nonsense. Thanks again all.
Tutorials and price action education!
Thus far, we have had many webinars, strategy reviews, indicator reviews, forecasts and lots of videos on price action trading. I intend to keep doing live webinars now and then and I will make sure to publish my forecasts more frequently as they have been very (thankfully) appreciated by our followers. So don’t miss out, subscribe CommuniTraders Live today and start learning!
Follow Us on Facebook – Never Miss a New Article!
Follow us on Facebook and never miss out on new articles and reviews. I have, together with our team, brought you BinaryOptionsthatSucks.com on Facebook too. Usually, when new videos or new articles are published, we also share them on our Facebook page. You can comment, share, like and even find out when the next live webinar on CT YouTube channel will take place. Even on Facebook, our goal is to outshine the scam artists and thanks to our readers, we are slowly getting there! Something you want more of? A post you like or want more information about? Then give that post a big like and leave a comment so we can offer more of your favorite stuff.
During 2016, we worked a whole lot with the CommuniTraders forum and organized our strategies by expiry so you can easily find the ones you like. We also spent the time to improve your strategies and trading techniques in the Members War Room – where all the trading diaries are. Personally, I have many students whom I have encouraged to keeping journals and I can say with 100% certainty that it is actually improving their results. Besides the help from the pros, the traders themselves have been able to help improve and boost one-another’s skills. For further encouragement, our team created the “Trade of the Month challenge” where you not only gain respect but a fancy looking badge to go with it =).
Remember the CommuniTraders Skype group which I started back in the beginning of January 2016? We used to have only a handful of members there and had no idea whether it would attract much more attention than that. The months went by and today, we are around 230 members and I still haven’t introduced and added everyone who applied from this week since I have been busy moving! Obviously, not everyone has been actively sharing or asking questions in the group but the ones that did, surely learned many things and I have noticed them leveling up from being newbies to advanced traders. Despite that, I felt that I could do much better and after discussing some ideas with a couple of our group members, we came up with new ideas on how to provide you the best binary options price action education ever! Hence the good news for you, as mentioned earlier. Now this means that a few things need to change, as explained below.
Good News: Price Action Educational Service Coming Soon!
So what’s going to change? Since the Skype group has been appreciated and is growing so rapidly, I need to change gears and make a better organization. Fear not, we are not going anywhere. In fact, the goal is to give you a better education than before.
Skype – Sharing How to Read the Charts!
How to do it? I have seen a need in separating the groups so beginners can learn the most important techniques first, before being moved up to the Advanced+ group. From 2017 and onwards, each member who joins us, will start off with a private lesson from me personally – going through my charts step by step in order to understand a price action trader’s thought process and the techniques they need to master.
After the first 1-on-1 lesson on price action trading, you will join the other beginners whom also had the same education. This way, you can grow together and I will be supervising, sharing information and forecasts. I will also do group webinars in order to further improve your skills and answer common questions!
What exactly will you learn from me?
For example: how I read and interpret my charts, how to draw trendlines, support and resistance lines, how to find patterns, calculating expiries, identifying trends and micro trends and a whole lot more advanced stuff when you are ready to digest it… usually within a couple of weeks!
I want each beginner to be able to move up to the Advanced+ group within 4 to 8 weeks. Of course, this depends on how much time you have for the studies and tasks that I set up and recommend you. So don’t worry if you need more time, no one will kick you out!
Once you level up to the Advanced+ group, you will join other advanced traders and of course I will also be there for additional support to fine-tune your trading skills. Overall, you will be well taken care of. With my private lessons, forecasts, group webinars, challenges and tests you’ll surely have lots of fun while learning all about price action trading. Once you have mastered these trading techniques, you should be able to make money off of trading. That’s why I call it a moneymaking offer. By the way, you can join today! Simply go to Skype and hit us up on CommuniTraders-Live. Hope you are excited because I am looking forward to helping you out.

In the course of the dialogue, Igor Dodon told the head of the diplomatic mission of Germany about the situation in the home policy of the Republic of Moldova in the context of the forthcoming parliamentary elections. At the same time, the parties discussed the essence of the strategic objective of the Moldovan Presidency – the realization of a balanced foreign policy based on the national interests of the country.
The interlocutors also addressed the current situation and prospects of settling the Transnistrian conflict. In the context, Igor Dodon and Angela Ganninger were unanimous in their view of importance of the OSCE as one of the main negotiating platforms and highly appreciated the German diplomacy for active involvement in the settlement process.

Strength and Durability. Containers are much stronger than normal wood construction methods. They are made with steel uni-body construction, the strongest construction method possible. The walls are made from 14 gauge, 0.075 inch corrugated sheet steel panels that are welded to the main structure. The top and bottom side rails and end frames are 7 gauge tubular steel. The steel used to build modern shipping/cargo container is a corrosive resistant high-strength low-alloy steel. The roof of the containers is constructed with die-stamp corrugated steel sheets with a certain chamber at the center. The roof’s main purpose is to keep out the elements. The bottom of the container has 3-4 mm thick cross members that have recesses along the bottom side rails, which allows them to be lifted with special straddle carriers. The floor of the shipping/cargo container is 28 mm thick with 19 ply treated plywood screwed into the structural cross members. Shipping containers are built to resist snow, wind, hurricanes, tornadoes and earthquakes.
Move in the same day. All of our homes are custom designed based on the specific usage requirements and preferences of the customer. They are pre-plubmed, pre-wired, and delivered completely assembled. As long as the required services (water, electric, sewer/septic) are onsite, they can be set, secured, and hooked up the same day. You would be living in the home that evening!
Low maintenance. If you are interested in as little maintenance as possible, we offer metal and vinyl siding options. With metal siding and roof, there is little to no outside maintenance required. This is perfect for a lake cabin or hunting cabin where you do not want to spend your time maintaining the building when you are there to enjoy the time you have away. Also, with the full metal option you will never worry about having to replace boards or siding due to wood rot.
Termite and Insect resistant. The only wood found in the container itself is the flooring. It is 28mm thick with 19 ply plywood, treated to be weather and insect resistant, which is extremely important in the original purpose of shipping materials. The walls are solid steel so there is no surface for termites to eat. Also, due to the solid construction of the container, the only openings for pests of any kind to enter the container is through any openings cut into the container for doors and windows. All of these openings are insulated and caulked/siliconed to prevent weather and insects or rodents from entering. You can put one of these container cabins in the middle of the woods and be confident that it will not be destroyed by insects.
Weather resistant. Shipping containers were built specifically to withstand all types of severe weather. They were built not only to withstand being stacked 8 or 9 high, but also to withstand the strong rains and winds incurred when traveling across the ocean on shipping vessels. All of the repurposed containers we use are still deemed to be wind and water tight. Add to this any outside siding and inside insulation and wall material and you have an amazingly weather tight structure.
Made for transporting. Shipping containers were specifically designed for transport. There are many tow and transport services which will pick up and deliver the containers. Because they are 8′ wide they are not considered an ‘oversize load’, making shipping costs less than moving a conventional building. We can help you arrange delivery and placement of the container home on your site or you are free to contact your own tow service if you have your own contacts. You are also free to pick up the container home yourself if you have the equipment.

Being a “clean” politico in Mexico has never been easy. Things may be dirtier now than ever.
In many small and medium-sized Mexican towns, it’s often difficult to avoid corruption without either risking your life or losing your job. As the LA Times recently said, Mexican politics is “a Machiavellian game of three-dimensional chess… and drug cartels are often more powerful than local governments”.
For many Mexicans, especially mayors and local officials, corruption is not an “immoral” act – as it is in the developed world – but a basic tool of survival.
Since the drug cartels began to fragment in the early 2000s, there have been fewer high-level capos left with whom politicians can make deals.
What was once the exclusive domain of the PRI elite – making “peace pacts” with narcos like Señor de los Cielos or Chapo Guzmán – no longer works for any one political party. The result has been a “localization” of corruption in the form of payouts to the leaders of many of Mexico’s 2,438 municipalities. The people with whom to deal are now on a local level.
The feds of course have taken notice. And their message to local pols is clear: give up a cut or risk losing federal funds. In Mexico City, federal lawmakers regularly accuse each other of shaking down mayors, councilmen and other municipal officials for kickbacks in exchange for federal projects.
The complex and sinister strands pull in every direction.
But before this happens, things will likely get worse. As markets and political power are decentralized, criminals have already started targeting geographically strategic towns, putting increased pressure on local officials.
Given that local law enforcement has neither the armament, know-how or resources to defeat today’s heavily-armed cartels, this prospect is frightening. Over the last seven years, 44 Mexican mayors were assassinated and most local officials have been threatened.
Many on the front lines now face the existential dilemma of “plata o plomo“; make crooked deals (silver) or lose their life (lead). But if they make deals and for whatever reason fail to hand over an adequate cut to the feds, they risk political suicide.
Maybe the only hope lies in the twisted logic of corruption: if the feds skim enough money from the locals, they may eventually provide more federal funds and equipment for regional security.
For local police officials and mayors, this would be protection money well-spent.

Is 5-a-side really better than 11-a-side?! That claim is going to be like fighting talk to some people, but, in the eyes of many people 5-a-side is the winner! It’s already a fact that there are now more people in England playing small sided games than there are playing the full 11-a-side version so could it be a claim that most people agree with?!
It’s time to take a look at the reasons why the 5-a-side game is dominating.
Let’s not beat about the bush: 5-a-side is that it gives us a lot more touches, and more chance to display our silky skills on the pitch. Surely that’s what football is supposed to be all about?
With the smaller space available, and the smaller number of players, you’re never far from the action. Whilst there might be potential for a hung-over Sunday-league player to sheepishly hide away at left back for a full 90 minutes in 11-a-side, you’re going to be fully involved in the game if it’s 5-a-side.
Being involved is something that we should all be embracing. Let’s face it, when we played the game as kids we all chased the ball around as though our little lives depended on having it. We charged around after that ball as if we were some kind of Gollum-like creatures hell-bent on having possession of the ‘precious’. Although we’ve grown up and learned a few more things about positional play (and I no longer look like Gollum, honest), the best part of the game for us all is still when we’ve got the ball at our feet.
5-a-side gives you more time for skills. But if you like kicking the ball long and high, 11-a-side might be the choice for you.
I used to play in central midfield for an 11-a-side team and some games I wondered if I’d be better off joining an athletics club rather than a football team. Don’t get me wrong, overall it was a good time, but some games seemed to consist of just running hopefully from one end to end of the pitch to the other whilst the defenses decided to bombard the opposition with speculative long passing as if the ball was some sort of artillery with which the opposition needed to be mercilessly shelled.
The opposition defense and goalkeeper would, in turn, respond with their own return of fire, attempting to match our defense’s long punts round-for-round. The strikers would do their best to feed off the ‘scraps’ – often just the mistakes and gaffes of a battle-worn back-line, whist the midfield would run back-and-forth in a sort of no-man’s land watching the bombardment of long passes whistle over head. Occasionally the ball would land in the vicinity of a cultured player who had the audacity to try to indulge in a couple of seconds of trying to get some passing going along the floor, or maybe a couple of skills; even a cheeky dribble perhaps. Of course that was usually frowned upon with derisory cries of “don’t f*#k about with it there!!” being hurled in their direction.
5-a-side conveniently tries to cut out most of the nonsense of the 11-a-side game and strips the game back to its core skills. It’s the best bits of the 11-a-side game gently distilled down for our enjoyment, with a focus on passing, dribbling, shooting and keeping possession. Every player is involved and everyone gets more action.
As if you’re not sold already, FIFA performed a study comparing 11-a-side to small sided versions of the game and found that in 4-a-side football players get 5 times more touches than 11-a-side, whilst 7-a-side produces twice as many touches than in 11-a-side. Another study found that players got over 4 times as many touches in 60 minutes of 5-a-side as they got in a full 90-minute game of 11-a-side football.
Touch, pass, throw in. Pass, tackle, throw-in. Dribble, shot, goal-kick.
That’s a bit how 11-a-side can feel at times, with the ball spending a lot of time out of play followed by a set-piece. In fact, FIFA found that the ball is out of play for a whopping 34 per cent of the time in 11-a-side football!
If you’re playing 5-a-side with barriers around the pitch then it goes out precisely 0 per cent of the time! But even where you’re playing a version of 5-a-side where the ball can go out of play such as Futsal, the ball spends more time in play than the 11-a-side game (it’s out of play only 8% for 4-a-side and 14% for 7-a-side to use FIFA’s statistics).
In getting rid of this stop-start annoyance 5-a-side results in a more intense experience that’s a better workout as well as having the potential to be more exciting.
A futsal pitch is a lot smaller than an 11-a-side pitch, skills need to be tighter and the ball goes out of play less.
Ever wanted to keel over and die after playing 5-a-side? Don’t worry, that’s called getting fitter (as long as it isn’t actually something you’re legitimately going to keel over and die from – in which case go and see a doctor).
It turns out that playing football in general is actually better for your fitness than just going for a run or lifting weights. It can help cut the risk of heart disease by reducing blood pressure and cholesterol levels, and is also a good way to lose weight.
But lo and behold, the benefits don’t just stop there. As we’ve covered elsewhere, playing 5-a-side is even better for your fitness than playing 11-a-side. Yes, because you’re constantly involved when you’re playing 5-a-side, and you’re required to repeatedly perform bursts of high-intensity exercise, it has been shown to ratchet up your fitness levels quicker.
When it comes to amateur level football there’s no debate, the facilities on offer to 5-a-side players are far superior to the 11-a-side game.
Who really wants to try playing their 11-a-side football on a muddy, dog fouled quagmire when instead you could be playing 5-a-side on luscious synthetic 3G facilities, designed to give us the experience of playing on the finest pitches imaginable?
Muddy quagmire or nice, flat 3G Astroturf?
The superb consistency of the pitches is a major reason why the 5-a-side game is suited to playing passes along the ground and doing skills, whilst the 11s is often more suited to “not f*#king about with it”, to use the park football terminology.
What’s more, the facilities are all well lit for evening football and many of them have a bar on the premises too, allowing us to enjoy a swift pint of ‘sports drink’ with teammates after the game.
This is really a consequence of the superb facilities on offer that they can keep football going all the time. The only time that your 5-a-side might get called off due to the adverse weather is when snow has literally covered the pitch. Play your football indoors and you’re totally immune against all but earthquakes and tornadoes.
Anyone who has played 11-a-side in Europe, however will be familiar with the misery of having a handful of games being called off each season due to the pitches being unplayable, usually due to the pitch resembling a lake, rather than a football field.
5-a-side keeps going throughout the summer months, which are the best times to be playing – there’s nothing like getting your 5-a-side fix in the warm summer evenings.
11-a-side, on the other hand, shuts down for the off-season. This might be when the pros go on holiday and work on securing big transfer moves, but for the rest of us it’s just a time to go steadily more deranged at the lack of footballing action.
Thankfully, 5-a-side leagues run all year round making sure we don’t ever have to spend some time apart with the game we love.
What’s more, a 5-a-side season usually only lasts a couple of months meaning that you can become a champion over and over! Or, if things aren’t going so well, give you more chances to wipe the slate clean.
In the UK we are now spoiled for choice in terms of 5-a-side providers – most urban dwellers will be no more than 5 miles from a league operating near them and they operate on many different evenings.
In fact, we’re confident that it’s quite possible to start a 5-a-side team and get it playing in competitive games within two weeks (see how to start playing 5-a-side). The same cannot be said for 11-a-side.
Competitions and tournaments are readily available and you only need to round up 4 mates to get started. It might still feel like hard work rounding up a squad of 5 players at times, but be thankful that you’re not trying to find a team of 11.
Just one of many league venues all over the country.
Well, you can’t expect to be reading a 5-a-side football blog and see a conclusion being anything different than 5-a-side coming out on top – and when you look at it, it’s a very reasonable argument to make!
But we’re not totally blinkered. If you’re a lover of the 5-a-side game then the chances are you’re also a lover of the 11-a-side game. It’s hard to beat 11-a-side for the full experience, with heading, slide tackling, even long balls being a part and parcel of the game we all love to watch on TV. Ask us which we’d rather watch and we might just say 11-a-side, but ask us which we’d rather play and it would be 5-a-side every time.
The Physical and Mental Benefits of 5-a-side – Hard research shows that 5-a-side has some seriously impressive physical and mental benefits – it might surprise you.
Completely agree, turned 40 now and can still get invloved in 5 a side and make an impact. Better than busting my backside at 11s and getting murdered for pace every game! Love a game indoors too.
Hi Si, completely agree with you there. I don’t know where I’d be without a game of fives in my life. I share your love of the indoor game too – something about a sports hall gets the senses on edge.
Great article. I musst admit i enjoy playing 5-a-side better than 11-a-side because i am a ball player and one of my many positions at 11’s centre mid so i know how you feel about the athletics club. I was a winger when i was younger and that is even worse. All that said for a 31 year old bloke i still feel massively torn. Much more than i can explain as if some part of my brain thinks i’ve still got a chance. I didn’t play 11’s this season for the first time in years and i must admit some parts i didn’t miss some parts of it but everytime i watched a game i wanted to play. It’s like an addiction thats tough to give up. One thing for me to bare in mind is that i have very little time as i work full time and have a 1 year old daughter with a missus that continually utters the immortal words we’ve all heard if we have kids “is football more important than spending time with your daughter” although thats not the case it’s hard to argue with her so 5-a-side is spot on because the daughter is in bed but you can’t beat that smell of damp mud and physically getting dirty. Or that great long ball or commanding defensive header! It is a tough decision which one is better. If any.
Really good article, I think this debate will go on for a very long time. I personally prefer 5-a-side purely for the pace and like you say, you actually get more touches on the ball. What I did notice was that after starting to play 5-a-side my control, and touch was noticeably better in my 11-a-side games. I have recently started my own 5-a-side kick about and found my pitch through MyLocalPitch.com (very handy website) and am now nearly 99% converted to the 5-a-side format.
Hi Guru, thanks for the nice comments about the article. There are a lot of people who share your same view and the numbers of people playing the game of 5-a-side vs the numbers playing 11-a-side are showing it! There’s no denying that 5-a-side is a great game for getting more touches on the ball, which really helps develop technique. I really like that you’re carrying on playing both games, the two types can go together well. Thanks also for the tip about MyLocalPitch.com – I’ll check it out.
Beautiful article! I’ve thought and spoken the same thing for many years. I have gotten some negative feedback. One thing I would add: You might say that if you are playing in an 11-a-side game then (depending on your luck in the game) most of the game you are just a spectator of a much smaller game happening somewhere else on the field.
What a great comment – wish I’d have come up with that as a way of looking at it. When you look at the stats, you’re absolutely right: you’re not getting much action in 11-a-side and you’re spending a lot of time watching the play rather than being directly involved. Nice to hear from a fellow 5-a-side convert – please give the blog a follow and let us know if you’ve got anything you want us to cover!

The Iowa football program's Hawkeye Wave at Kinnick Stadium got feature treatment during Saturday's game on ESPN2 against North Texas.
IOWA CITY, Ia. — There was a big delay before commercials between the end of the first quarter and beginning of the second in Iowa's home game against North Texas.
Instead, ESPN2 stuck around to air the coolest new tradition in college football: the Hawkeye Wave.
The recently finished University of Iowa Children's Hospital sits right next to Kinnick Stadium. The top floor features the Press Box Cafe, a rotunda of sorts with floor-to-ceiling windows that provide a perfect view of Hawkeye games for patients and families packing the cafe. You can also see signs posted on windows from the top several floors of the hospital, where young patients watch and root for their Hawkeyes.
After every first quarter this season, fans inside Kinnick will turn around and wave up to the hospital. Inside, patients and their families wave back.
Levi Thompson first promoted the idea of the wave on his Hawkeyes fan page after Krista Young, a reader of his site, suggested something could be done to recognize the patients and their parents watching from the brand new, 12-story hospital.

Yesterday, Ellie and I had a moment when I told her “no” about something she wanted to do instead of taking a bath and getting ready for bed. And, her response was to start hitting my laptop.
I had my external hard drive attached to it (the one full of photos from the last year that I really don’t have another backup of), and she was pushing the laptop so that it almost fell. The hard drive disconnected. I raised my voice, insisting that she stop.
I pulled a tiny bit of end-of-the-day patience from somewhere in my big toe and lowered my voice but spoke in a very firm tone asking her to please sit down in her chair, which was right behind her.
After a few back and forths, Jon came in and tried to get her to sit in her chair too.
Here’s the thing: We don’t really "make her" sit in a chair in a time out (or “time in” as I like to call them) for lots of reasons and one is because moments like this usually pass quickly. Sometimes there are a lot of them in a day, but she doesn’t usually spend a lot of time in just one of these moments. She shifts to something else, then maybe back again to being crabby, and then back to joy.
And I want her to feel her feelings - in her body, in her mind, in her heart. And notice what they feel like because being two is really about practicing in this safe place called home.
But in this moment, I wasn’t listening to the voice inside me telling me this was the usual end of the day tired crabbies, and I wanted her to listen to me.
It was all about me. My laptop. My photos. My surprise that she was acting this way. My insistence that she sit in her chair.
It had been maybe three minutes of this. Me saying, “Sit in your chair.” Her replying, “No. I WON’T!” Jon walked down the hall to start her bath, and she ran the few steps to the hallway and flailed her body onto the floor.
“I need SPACE!” she said as she put her head against the carpet in child’s pose.
This series of words pierced through my mind chatter.
Most of the time I feel like I don’t know what I’m doing. What works one day with Ellie, doesn’t the next. I wonder if I’m too permissive. I wonder if I sometimes take the path of least resistance and how that might be hurting her, us. I feel the guilt each day when I notice my patience slipping during those moments before bed time. I have some real pride wrapped around how patient I am with her, but when it begins to slip, I feel guilt paired with deep exhaustion.
Feeling like you don’t know what you’re doing but somehow trusting that you do, this is being a toddler mama. This is listening to your intuition. This is messing up and learning and messing up again. This is being present to all of it. This is letting your child teach you too.
Okay honey, you really are doing something good here. She asked for space. She asked for love. These are things you want and need too. These are things you’re trying to teach yourself, teach others to do. This is being a good mama. Yes. You got this.
An invitation: Even if you aren't a parent, you probably have moments where you feel like you don't know what you're doing. I believe that this is what being an adult feels like sometimes. We think it won't be this way, and then it is, and we wonder why. In this moment, spend a few minutes thinking about what "you've got" today. How are you surprising yourself with your grace, wisdom, and truth? How are you trusting all of it today?

A few weekends ago it was another rainy, windy weekend, so Jon and I decided to spend the day tasting down in Woodinville, WA. It had been awhile since we were there, and we didn’t have anything else going on, so we piled in the car and hit the road.
Ninety minutes later we had reached our destination, and after a stop at Panera Bread for lunch, we were ready to taste. We decided to try some wineries that we had never been to before, and we ended up near the historic Schoolhouse building. On the other side of the roundabout are several tasting rooms in a retail development that has only been there a few years.
We started our day at Dusted Valley. The Dusted Valley winery facility is located in Walla Walla, but they have a tasting room in Woodinville as well. We were greeted warmly by the server, and started off on the 2010 Cinsaut. It is a light blend of 80% Cinsaut and 20% Syrah, from the Stoney Vine Estate in the Walla Walla Valley. It is a excellent light, acidic wine, perfect for drinking now.
Next we had the 2011 Rachis Syrah, a wine containing 98% Syrah with 2% Petite Sirah blended in. The grapes are sourced from the Stone Tree Vineyard in the Red Heaven area of the Columbia Valley. After that we tried the 2011 Cabernet Franc – a Columbia Valley wine with 91% Cabernet Franc and 9% Merlot. It is a big, smooth red wine.
The 2011 V.R. Special Cabernet Sauvignon was next – it is a 99% Cabernet Sauvignon with just 1% of Petit Verdot blended in. It is named for the V.R. Special Chocolate Chip Cookie created by the winemaker’s grandfather Vernon Rhodes in the Midwest. The 2011 Petite Sirah contained 95% Petite Sirah and 5% Syrah. It is a dark, inky red color with strong balanced tannins.
And we finished off the tasting with the 2009 Late Harvest Syrah. It is not a fortified wine, but is a heavy, syrupy wine with a strong alcohol content. Jon really liked this wine.
All of the wines were excellent – there weren’t any that I didn’t like. That said, my favorites were the Cinsaut and the Petite Syrah.
Dusted Valley also produces a second, value label – Boomtown. They don’t taste or sell it at the tasting room, but I purchased a bottle later in the day that I found at Cost Plus World Market – given how much I liked the Dusted Valley wines that we tried, I am looking forward to tasting the Boomtown wine we bought.
Our next stop was Trust Cellars – I’ll blog about that next!
Have you tried Dusted Valley wines? What did you think?

If you’ve ever wondered if you can work while pursuing your RN-BSN degree online, you’re in the right place. While there has been concern that nursing has been overhyped as a career, if you are currently working as a registered nurse, then taking the next step and completing your undergraduate education is a great way to further your career. Before beginning your search for the best RN-BSN online degrees here’s what you need to know about juggling your career with school.
The RN-BSN online degree is a bridge program; that is, a program designed to bridge your work experience as a registered nurse to a complete undergraduate degree without taking a full four years to do so. Because you likely have already received an associate’s degree in nursing prior to your certification, you need to finish just two years in order to obtain a bachelor’s degree in nursing. A bridge program that’s delivered online is a perfect choice because it allows you to work regular hours as well as study when you have the time.
That being said, you can work full time, but only if you can handle the course load required by the school you choose. Many students choose to work part-time in their job while finishing college; this is because the RN-BSN program takes around 18 months to complete and can be quite rigorous. It is up to you to talk with your college advisor and figure out whether you can handle working full-time or whether part-time might be the best choice for you going forward.
The RN-BSN online degree is a great way for you to work while finishing your education; classes are taught asynchronously, meaning you don’t have to be present at your computer during lectures. Exams are also completed in a testing center when it’s convenient for you, allowing you to work your degree requirements around your job obligations. Another reason the RN-BSN online program might be right for you is the fact that you can choose to take your courses in sequential format, meaning you take one course every five weeks instead of several courses concurrently. If you’re asking yourself if you can work while pursuing your BSN degree and keep everything balanced, then yes, you absolutely can, provided you pay attention to your degree requirements.
The RN-BSN online degree can be difficult to manage in later stages of the degree, especially if you have a requirement to do a practicum. Many schools will allow you to finish your practicum at your place of work, but some don’t, so do your research. You can also ask the school if you can work while pursuing your BSN degree and have your job be your practicum. It’s not a guarantee the school will agree. Most students in this position often choose to quit working for the last two terms of their degree in order to graduate quickly; this might be something you need to plan for.
Nursing is an underestimated and often thankless job, but it’s one that is sorely needed. With the above information, you should be able to successfully determine if you can work while pursuing your RN-BSN degree online, and feel good about the strides you are making in your career.

How do you make an invitation to discussion? There are any number of various methods, such as common advertising tools.

Consider a appear at it: it’s most likely a catalog of your firm’s achievements and the various specialties you offer. Is that interesting?

Originally published to wide critical acclaim in France, where it elicited comparisons to Art Spiegelman’s Maus, Persepolis is Marjane Satrapi’s wise, funny, and heartbreaking memoir of growing up in Iran during the Islamic Revolution. In powerful black-and-white comic strip images, Satrapi tells the story of her life in Tehran from ages six to fourteen, years that saw the overthrow of the Shah’s regime, the triumph of the Islamic Revolution, and the devastating effects of war with Iraq. The intelligent and outspoken only child of committed Marxists and the great-granddaughter of one of Iran’s last emperors, Marjane bears witness to a childhood uniquely entwined with the history of her country.
Persepolis paints an unforgettable portrait of daily life in Iran: of the bewildering contradictions between home life and public life and of the enormous toll repressive regimes exact on the individual spirit. Marjane’s child’s-eye-view of dethroned emperors, state-sanctioned whippings, and heroes of the revolution allows us to learn as she does the history of this fascinating country and of her own extraordinary family. Intensely personal, profoundly political, and wholly original, Persepolis is at once a story of growing up and a stunning reminder of the human cost of war and political repression. It shows how we carry on, through laughter and tears, in the face of absurdity. And, finally, it introduces us to an irresistible little girl with whom we cannot help but fall in love.
"You’ve never seen anything like Persepolis—the intimacy of a memoir, the irresistability of a comic book, and the political depth of a the conflict between fundamentalism and democracy. Marjane Satrapi may have given us a new genre."
I thought [Persepolis] was a superb piece of work, not only for the child’s eye view—the developing child’s eye view—of a society unknown to many of us in the west, and feared and suspected in proportion to being unknown…. Satrap has found a way of depicting human beings that is both simple and immediately comprehensible, AND is almost infinitely flexible. Anyone who’s tried to draw a simplified version of a human face knows how immensely difficult it is not only to give the faces a range of expression, but also to maintain identities from one frame to the next. It’s an enormous technical accomplishment."
–Philip Pullman, author of The Golden Compass, The Subtle Knife, and The Amber Spyglass.
"I cannot praise enough Marjane Satrapi’s moving account of growing up as a spirited young girl in revolutionary and war-time Iran. Persepolis is disarming and often humorous but ultimately it is shattering."
"A rare and chilling memoir that offers every reader a personal, honest portrait of Iran’s recent political and cultural history. Ms. Satrapi’s provocative, graphic narrative of life in Iran before and after the Islamic revolution is an extraordinary testament to the level of human suffering experienced by Iranians tossed from one political hypocrisy to another. Aside from the humanistic dimension, the beautifully minimalist Persepolis gives further evidence of Marjane Satrapi’s sensitivity and superb skill as an artist."
"Readers who have always wanted to look beyond political headlines and CNN’s cliches should plunge into this unique illustrated story. Let Marji be your trusted companion, follow her into the warmth of a Persian home and out along Tehran’s turbulent streets during those heady days of revolution. Persepolis opens a rare door to understanding of events that still haunt America, while shining a bright light on the personal humanity and humor so much alive in Iranian families today."

Chances are that if you are an American you know very little about the 1979 Iranian Revolution. "This revolution was normal, and it had to happen," says Marjane Satrapi, author of Persepolis, a totally unique memoir about growing up in Iran after the Shah left power. "Unfortunately, it happened in a country where people were very traditional, and other countries only saw the religious fanatics who made their response public." In her graphic novel, Satrapi, shows readers that these images do not make up the whole story about Iran. Here, she talks freely about what it was like to tell this story with both words and pictures, and why she is so proud of the result.
From the time I came to France in 1994, I was always telling stories about life in Iran to my friends. We’d see pieces about Iran on television, but they didn’t represent my experience at all. I had to keep saying, "No, it’s not like that there." I’ve been justifying why it isn’t negative to be Iranian for almost twenty years. How strange when it isn’t something I did or chose to be?
After I finished university, there were nine of us, all artists and friends, working in a studio together. That group finally said, "Do something with your stories." They introduced me to graphic novelists. Spiegelman was first. And when I read him, I thought "Jesus Christ, it’s possible to tell a story and make a point this way." It was amazing.
People always ask me, "Why didn’t you write a book?" But that’s what Persepolis is. To me, a book is pages related to something that has a cover. Graphic novels are not traditional literature, but that does not mean they are second-rate. Images are a way of writing. When you have the talent to be able to write and to draw it seems a shame to choose one. I think it’s better to do both.
We learn about the world through images all the time. In the cinema we do it, but to make a film you need sponsors and money and 10,000 people to work with you. With a graphic novel, all you need is yourself and your editor.
Of course, you have to have a very visual vision of the world. You have to perceive life with images otherwise it doesn’t work. Some artists are more into sound; they make music. The point is that you have to know what you want to say, and find the best way of saying it. It’s hard to say how Persepolis evolved once I started writing. I had to learn how to write it as a graphic novel by doing.
I’m a pacifist. I believe there are ways to solve the world’s problems. Instead of putting all this money to create arms, I think countries should invest in scholarships for kids to study abroad. Perhaps they could become good and knowledgeable professors in their own countries. You need time for that kind of change though.
I have been brought up open-minded. If I didn’t know any people from other countries, I’d think everyone was evil based on news stories. But I know a lot of people, and know that there is no such thing as stark good and evil. Isn’t it possible there is the same amount of evil everywhere?
If people are given the chance to experience life in more than one country, they will hate a little less. It’s not a miracle potion, but little by little you can solve problems in the basement of a country, not on the surface. That is why I wanted people in other countries to read Persepolis, to see that I grew up just like other children.
It’s so rewarding to see people at my book signings who never read graphic novels. They say that when they read mine they became more interested. If it opens these people’s eyes not to believe what they hear, I feel successful.
My parents were very proud when they read Persepolis. If I criticize them once in a while, it’s because it’s the truth, and they laugh. My father always says, "It is only an idiot who never changes his mind." My parents accept that times change, and they are not right anymore. They’ve taught me that you can make mistakes.
They were extremely open-minded about what I said and they were demanding. I’m also tender with them because they were magnificent parents. They gave me the most important thing — the freedom of thinking and deciding for myself. The best present anyone can receive is not being formatted because the world or a religion wants you to be.

Warp Records have a special place in my life. When I was getting into dance music, they released a bunch of LP’s under the banner “Artificial Intelligence”. Featuring the likes of Black Dog Productions, Autechre, Aphex Twin (as Polygon Window), B12 and others, they made odd electronic tunes with little or no relevance to any dancefloor you might wander onto. Ranging from strange clanky noise (Mr Twin), melodic tunefulness (B12), ominous rumblings (Autechre), to frankly deranged alien-jazz glitchiness (Black Dog)1, it was an explosion of invention when most people were panting over the dreadful retro-ness of Stone Roses and bloody Primal Scream.
So, taking their oddness fully to my heart, I listened to those albums again and again and again. Great driving music (I used to regularly drive 300 miles in a Morris Minor so you need something to distract you from the fact that the wheels are going to come off if you go above 90), great comedown music, and quite good fun to scare friends, family and neighbours with. After the label’s electronic start, they diversified into everything from Grizzly Bear to Jamie Liddell. As important a label to music as Rough Trade, or 4AD, or Factory, or SST, they are the work of pure genius.
Amazingly, it’s their 20th anniversary this year, and they’ve done gone and set up a little vote for us to go and choose our favourite tracks. The top 20 will be released on a compilation later this year. So go on, register, and vote. I’m loftandlost by the way.
Rather different to Intelligent Techno is the work of Bill Callahan (Smog). A longtime favourite of mine, he’s made some truly jaw-dropping music over the last fifteen years or so. Listening to “Teenage Spaceship” whilst driving through the Taunus mountains near Frankfurt one summers evening as dusk drew in, is one of my happiest moments on this sweet earth. Strange what makes some people happy, isn’t it?
Ol’ Bill has moved to Austin, Texas (lovely place) and has recorded a new album which is out on April 14th. “Sometimes I Wish We Were An Eagle” is his thirteenth album, and he’s brought back the horns and violins for this one. Whilst not quite as unexpected as on “Red Apple Falls”, they add some welcome colour to the songs. Of which I have one here, the oddly titled “Eid Ma Clack Shaw”. In it, he tells a tale of dreaming the “perfect song”, only when he wakes, and scribbles down the words, they read “Eid Ma Clack Shaw”. All the keystone Callahan-isms are there, from his sardonic baritone, to the dry, black humour in his lyrics. Bodes well for the album. Let’s hope it’s better than M Ward’s or Bonnie “Prince” Billy’s latest, eh?
1 I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Timbaland totally nicked Black Dog’s ideas, toned them down a bit, then chucked some rappers over the top. Not to belittle him one bit – he’s fantastic – but it would be great for the originators of that clicky, glitchy sound to get some recognition.

Police and the ambulance at the incident last Tuesday. Picture: Jon Bassett A woman has been charged over the crash.
RESIDENTS alleging “recurring” anti-social behaviour and a crime wave will ask Cottesloe MLA Colin Barnett for help after a 12-hour incident at Housing Authority homes in Thompson Road North Fremantle until 3am last Wednesday.
“During this whole incident six young children were present and scared, and it was very frightening and sad to see and hear,” a nearby resident, who did not wish to be named, said.
Three police vehicles, an ambulance and a paramedic attended about 10am, a woman was arrested about 10.20am and man about 3.45am.
Last year, Mosman Park residents lobbied the Housing Authority to tackle crime at its Wellington Street apartments, and Fremantle MLA Simon McGurk told Parliament of repeated anti-social behaviour at authority flats at Alexandra Road, East Fremantle.
North Fremantle residents allege a spate of crimes in the past five weeks, including a motorbike stolen in Pamment Street, a Thompson Road house burgled and a Lime Street offices entered.
A community newsletter lists a Pamment Street office “cased”, a bag and two bikes taken from Leslie Street and a break-in at North Fremantle Primary School this month.
“The disruptive and anti-social behaviour and accompanying theft and recent assaults in the neighbourhood is seriously affecting residents’ feelings of safety and security,” Fremantle Councillor Doug Thompsonsaid.
Cr Thompson said about 10 residents said they would consider selling or moving at a recent meeting with the Housing Authority.
He said while police “respond well” to incidents, no authority had an overview of a “consistent pattern of anti-social and disruptive behaviour”, so residents would seek meetings with Mr Barnett and the Minister for Housing.
Housing Authority general manager of service delivery Trevor Gregory said its Fremantle office was expanding its Intensive Tenancy Management of the houses at Thompson Road.
Mr Gregory said tenants would only be evicted after three disruptive “strikes”, or one dangerous strike, in any 12 months, but action would be taken when a complaint was substantiated.
He said a “substantial drop” between the first and third strikes would be considered evidence that intensive management worked.

Some African countries are known for its dynamic tourism such as Kenya and Tanzania, Namibia, Botswana and South Africa. Idyllic pictures of Safari-tourists can be drawn out of this imagination. However, the hotel industry that is also linked to business travelling is the most prospering in Western Africa. The first slide of the month in 2017 indicates that 45% of the African new hotel rooms were built in Western Africa. Also, in Nigeria more than 10.000 hotel rooms were planned in 2016, that is more than in any other African country. Angola and Kenya also show an interesting number of 3.000 to 8.000 rooms planned in 2016.
Thus, africon sees interesting potentials in the construction and interior furnishing sector. German companies can profit from the African construction boom as much in providing services as in selling sanitary equipment, furniture and floor covering.
The slide of the month December illustrates the market shares of different tractor brands in Nigeria which was researched in a large filter project over the past 6 months. The market leader is New Holland with about 20% of the present tractors in the country, followed by John Deere and Mahindra. Different Chinese products also take a big part of 20% on the market and are partly locally produced within a SKD production. As africon GmbH we believe that the market in Nigeria will continue to grow strongly as various initiative programs by the government will drive local production and imports.
While the slide of the month October showed an increasing demand of steel in African countries, the slide of the month November analyses the government’s role in steel projects. A serie of 101 interviews with executive managers in the steel industry showed, that in countries having an incentive program for steel projects, politicians have real influence on the sector’s decisions. Politics and economy can be linked strongly in these countries, a factor that must be considered when choosing geographical centers for the market entry of your company.
The slide of the month October shows that more and more steel is used on the African continent while steel production does not increase significantly. This gap must be disserved by imports but it also indicates interesting investment possibilities for the steel processing industry. Seeing the need of steel increasing, we can also resume that construction is going up since 2005.

If you think you’re interested in an auto repair related career you should review the auto mechanic course study topics prior to enrollment. Here we’ll dive into some of the major areas of automotive technology covered in auto technician training programs. Find out if learning about this kind of stuff interests you. With the amount of information to absorb in such a short period of time, you truly must have an interest in the subject material to launch a successful career.
From the outside looking in, a career as an auto mechanic seems quite appealing. However, there are some downsides associated with turning wrenches professionally. As a retired certified master technician I get a lot of questions about my chosen career path. Although I’m satisfied with the decisions I’ve made, we all know that hindsight is 20/20. Here on the blog we’ve tried to answer a lot of the questions I’ve fielded over the years for those seeking a position in a retail or dealership automotive service center. I think the question I hear most remains how much do auto mechanics make a year. Nevertheless, let’s find out if the material interests you before you spend $30,000 to take a two-year comprehensive training course.
Although all the automotive systems work together in harmony, the automotive electrical system becomes one of the most important. Automotive electrical courses can become quite intense. In fact, learning about Ohm’s law and other basic electrical theories includes a lot of math and formulas. Mastering these skills remains necessary when seeking a successful career in automotive diagnosis. Technicians that understand how the circuits work and what the electrical symbols look like become capable of diagnosing complex problems quickly.
These skills remain in short supply and in high demand. Technicians that embrace learning the math and the formulas behind the theories become the most successful. Therefore, dealerships and service centers consider these elite mechanics the most valuable employees in the recruitment process. The sad part is that some hoping for an automotive career chose the industry because they wanted to have some fun with cars. They wanted to get away from math and theory study forced on them in high school. I can tell you from first-hand experience I struggled with automotive electrical course study.
However, after realizing that calculating a voltage drop and measuring high resistance in a circuit can help you fix cars I decided to embrace it. After spending some extra time in this area of study I started to realize something else. Retail auto repair centers dispatched challenging diagnostic work to technicians with exceptional automotive electrical skills. In addition, these assignments utilize the brain more than brawn. In other words, you stay clean when diagnosing complex automotive electrical problems. And for the aging mechanic, like me, the work isn’t as physically difficult when compared to replacing cylinder heads or a turbocharger on a Cummings diesel engine.
Many automotive instructors consider the mechanical engine diagnosis and repair course the meat and potatoes area of study. This combination of hands on and theory type training focuses on completely understanding past, present and future engine designs. In these courses heavy emphasis applies to diagnosing and repairing internal engine problems. Courses in the subject area focus on engine disassembly, inspection and replacement of individual components.
Although replacement of an engine isn’t the most common repair found at the auto repair shop level, understanding how to do so becomes absolutely necessary. In addition, many service centers opt for replacing the engine with a reassembled short block or long block assembly. This is when someone else rebuilds the engine for them. With that said, top-notch automotive technicians understand how to rebuild an engine themselves.
Mechanical engine diagnosis and repair courses include hands-on replacement of cylinder heads, camshafts and timing chains. These courses also cover the bottom end that includes the crankshaft, connecting rods and pistons. Although mechanics don’t often take apart an engine, skilled automotive technicians are prepared to do so when needed. The fun part about this section of study remains a combination of theory and hands-on experience of tearing down an actual automotive engine on a roll around stand.
The engine performance category of auto mechanic course study includes some of the most common complaints from drivers. As an example, check engine light problems, poor fuel economy and automobiles that just don’t run right all fall under the category of engine performance diagnosis. This area of expertise relies heavily on the automotive electrical course study mentioned in the first section. It also requires a strong knowledge of how the engine works described in the second section.
Technicians become successful in this area by learning about ignition systems, fuel delivery systems and emission systems diagnosis and repair. Automotive instructors will also spend a lot of time teaching about the on board diagnostic system. We call this OBD II. Car makers deployed OBD II on vehicles starting in 1996 through the present day. Mastering the ins and outs of this computer controlled automotive system remains absolutely necessary.
Learning how the electronic control module or ECM manages engine performance by controlling outputs and actuators becomes a lot of fun for some. Understanding how the ECM makes these decisions by receiving data from input sensors interests inquiring minds. For me, the engine performance auto mechanic course study became the most important. This training ties together the other areas of automotive technology and applies them to real-world situations. Solving complex engine performance problems guarantees job security and can provide a comfortable way of life for a family.

Kesha has always been a bit nuts, and that's what we all love about her. She's embracing the eccentric with her third single from 'Warrior,' 'Crazy Kids.' Unlike the original, which features K-Dollar Sign all by her lonesome sing-rapping, the single is a remix featuring will.i.am tossing in a verse.
The song features whistles, singing and spitting, and it's a fan favorite of the Cannibal Queen's beloved Animals. It's a rollicking anthem full of eerie whispers of "We are the crazy people."
It's unclear why the Black Eyed Pea is on the track, as it seems superfluous to everything else going on, but his contribution is brief and somewhat baffling: He raps about talking while kissing, then goes off into an inaudible, unintelligible and deliberate mumble.
The single is slated to hit radio April 29, but you can snag a sneak listen here.

I started my dental practice in Poland in 1987. Adventures led me to the United States in 2000 when I moved to Chicago and began working with U.S. practitioners. I obtained my California Dental license in 2003 and I joyfully became a U.S. Citizen in 2005.
Sacramento area residents, ensuring that our patients receive the most comprehensive and advanced dental care. Give us a call for your preventative or emergency dental needs.
I Welcome to our family based dental practice located in El Dorado Hills. I graduated from the Medical University in Lodz, Poland in 1987. After moving to the United States I also attended University of Illinois Medical Center located in Chicago where I studied dentistry and received my certificate in 2004.
Throughout my career I have been practicing dentistry for approximately 19 years. My husband and I are here to serve your dental needs and take great pride and care in the treatment you receive at our office.
