Executives' days are filled with difficult conversations, tough decisions, and strategizing for growth and success in their endeavors. Under these inevitable pressures, some leaders get stressed, while others can stay calm and focused in the moment.
I’m not kidding. I’m speaking both from having reviewed hundreds of research studies on the benefits of meditation and from my own personal experience as a long-time meditator. Constant stress and worry take a toll on our cells, aging them. So do continual distractions and a wandering mind, due to the toxic effects of rumination, where our mind gravitates to troubles in our relationships but never resolves them. Among other findings, meditation reduces the inflammation that leads to cells aging and reduces levels of the stress hormone, cortisol.
Mindfulness meditation trains your brain to focus on something, notice distractions without being pulled away by them, and then refocus. Repeating those basic steps strengthens your capacity for focus just as lifting weights builds your muscles.
Our brains take in far more information in any given moment than we know in conscious awareness. Selective attention allows us to tune out what’s irrelevant and focus in on what matters. Research that my long-time friend and colleague Richie Davidson and I reviewed in our new book, Altered Traits: How Meditation Changes Your Mind, Body, and Brain, tested that ability to select what to focus on amid the deluge of stimuli coming our way. People who practiced mindfulness meditation were better able to focus on one thing and ignore distractions. This was true even for beginners.
Executives who excel in handling stress well and focusing in on what matters have an edge. Consider trying mindfulness meditation to see how it can help you meet the challenges of your work. You can find many resources online for how to meditate, but I recommend finding a teacher who instructs you in person to get the full experience. And try it daily for at least a month to get a lasting impact.

text: Am so happy I found this dentist. When I needed to find a dentist closer to where I live and that would accept my insurance, I found the Lehigh Dental practice. Although I usually see only one of the dentists on a regular basis, I had an occasion where I needed to see the other dentist due to an emergent nature. I was very pleased with both dentists. I recommend this practice highly.

Each residence is issued one (1) key card that will provide access to both the pool and tennis courts. Please contact a Board member at theboard@thornbrookhoa.com and schedule an appointment to pick up a keycard.
• A charge of $50 will apply for any lost or misplaced key cards.
People from other neighborhoods are jumping the fence and using the pool.
The pool surface needed repair.
Neighbors want the option to be able to eat at the pool.
Outside neighbors are dumping their garbage in the pool garbage cans.
The fence surrounding the pool was replaced and raised to provide added security in 2015.
Pool bathrooms were renovated and pool chairs were recovered in 2014.
The pool cover was replaced in 2013 and a new shower was added to comply with Cobb County health codes. Also, a new drinking fountain and telephone were installed.
Built an enclosure for pool garbage cans to prevent dumping from outside neighbors in 2013.
The pool area has been expanded. Food is only allowed under the pergola area. This has made it compliant with Cobb County health codes. Permanent signs were installed with this message in 2012.
The pool has been resurfaced. Instead of simply re-plastering, the board settled on a product called Pebble Tech which has a 15 year warranty.
Pergola has been expanded. Painting and electrical was completed during the summer of 2012. The awning was installed during the 2012 fall workday.
Surveillance cameras have been placed around the pool and parking lot. Signs have been placed at the pool and neighborhood entrance stating that the neighborhood is under surveillance. These cameras have assisted police in catching vandals in the parking lot.
If you wish to reserve space under the pergola for a celebration, such as a birthday party for you child, contact a Board member. We can reserve the space under the pergola, but not the entire pool. Please make sure all guests follow the rules as outlined below.
Sunday - Thursday 6:00 a.m. - 9:00 p.m.
Friday - Saturday 6:00 a.m. - 10:00 p.m.
• There is no lifeguard on duty at the pool. Swim at your own risk.
• Pool is for Thornbrook residents only. ALL non-residents, unless accompanied by a Thornbrook homeowner, will be asked to leave.
• All children 15 years and younger MUST be accompanied by an adult.
• ALL babies MUST wear plastic swim diapers when in the pool.
• No running, diving, boisterous or rough play allowed.
• Food and drinks are permitted in pavilion area ONLY based on health code restrictions(*).
• Noise level must be so it does not disturb others.
• Please keep gates locked at all times.
• No smoking or drug use.
• Persons with communicable disease, skin, eye, or nasal infections should NOT enter pool.
• No animals permitted in pool area at any time except for guidance animals.
• Absolutely no glass permitted in pool area.
• Evacuation of the pool area is required during rain, thunder, or lightning storms.
• Maximum number of swimmers in the pool shall not exceed 50 persons.
• No skateboards, bikes, or scooters are allowed in the pool area.
• Appropriate swimwear must be worn at all times (no cut-offs, diapers, etc.).
• Please keep the restrooms clean, pick up trash before you leave, and return all furniture to its proper place(s).
which makes a full ban the most practical solution.
One of the major complaints about the pool was that the keys didn’t seem to work at times, so the Board previously decided to change the lock and handle to a commercial grade system. Along with that change came the “DO NOT DUPLICATE” keys and a yearly rotation of keys. In 2015 each residence received one (1) key card that provides access to both the pool and tennis courts. This single key system is more convenient to residents and will allow the Board to better manage resident access to the pool and tennis courts. A charge of $50 will apply for any lost or misplaced key cards.
Tennis lights were installed in the summer of 2012. Additional projects included moving the light switch so that only residents can turn it on/off. The Board had planned on screens on the fencing to block reflected light from reaching neighbors across the pond, but this project is currently on hold. The following info below is some Q&A on the repair work that has been undertaken over the past couple years.
The information below was communicated in 2010. The tennis courts had many cracks and needed repair. The cracks were due to the builder not properly laying the foundation of the court. Since the court is sitting on clay, the expansion and contraction of water during the warm and freezing months cause cracks to appear and get worse over time. One of our neighbors, Marc Weldon, took initiative in getting the courts in good shape and maintaining them going forward. He did some initial research which is published below. We decided on Option #3, although Signature Tennis did the work at the same price without the help from HOA and volunteers.
Our courts, although not too bad are displaying a large amount of seam and non seam cracking (about +/- 900 linear ft). This means that our courts were not laid down to spec as a tennis court should have been and the foundation is settling over time enough to result in the cracks we see now. This same situation exists for about 90% of all residential tennis courts across the southeast as builders do not want to go the extra 10% to do it right and leave the HOA's to deal with the problem 5-10 years after they move on. Our courts are no exception either.
Is the cracking catastrophic? No, but it does need to be remedied soon at least before week roots or freezing water do work their way into the cracks and make a moderately bad situation really serious and force a complete tear down and replacement.
Do we repair or replace? We can do either at this point but they exist at two "very" different price points. Roughly $10K-$18K to repair and resurface vs $45K for replacement.
Why the $10K-$18K variance for repair and resurface? We can cut the price almost in half by performing the crack repair labor, using a product called Crack Span, ourselves with step by step advisement from Signature Tennis. $10K = Us installing the CrackSpan and Signature Tennis performing the resurfacing.
What is CrackSpan? CrackSpan is a product developed for the very problem we are having with our courts. Luckily we do not have any vertical displacement in our cracks showing that while our foundation is not perfect, it is settling evenly thus far and should continue to do so. The product consists of a base filling agent to fill the crack, an expandable membrane to cover and hold the crack in place and a top coat to secure and blend the edges of the membrane. Vaguely similar to taping a sheet-rock seam but this solution expands and contracts with the court during heat and seasonal cycling.
Will CrackSpan be visible after patching? No, not when accompanied by a resurfacing.
Will it stop cracks from growing? It will stop cracks from widening and may slow growth, but the cracks will continue to grow as the foundation continues to settle. At that point the crack can be filled with acrylic if small enough or additional crackspan will be used to patch it until the crack stops.
How long will the crackspan last? indefinately as long as the courts are resurfaced every 4-6 years or as when the surface requires it.
How much is the ongoing cost of lights? 2$ to 3$/hr. Bulbs are a couple hundred a piece I believe and you can just put them on a replacement rotation after their first 4 years.
Will the lights disturb the residents across the pond? Possibly, however the lights are specifically designed for neigborhoods where there is minimal dispersion of light outside the court, this can be further allieviated by adding windscreens to block light and sound reflection off of the courts. Also cyprus trees could be planted on the backside and pond side of the courts and will block most all light and sound after several years of growth. Furthermore, the lights installation will include a turn off timer we can set at any point in the evening.
Can we install pay as you go lights? those have been out of use since the advent of the high efficiency lights...about 20 years, but I will look into it.
What color will courts be resurfaces? Any color we want... Chartreuse anyone? However, the latest rage in court color, and the standard set by the USTA is green surrounds with blue court. Like it or not our courts will be looked down upon by the tennis snobs if it is not. The classic red outside with green courts are considered "old school" now... I guess we stay with the times and go blue and green.

Woman strikes mother for eating pizza and drinking her alcohol.
PALM BAY, Florida – A 24-year-old woman was arrested after she allegedly hit her mother during an argument over pizza and alcohol.
Cynthia Mary Reid, who lives at home with her parents in Palm Bay, was charged with a single count of Battery Domestic Violence.
The father called law enforcement to the home, located at the 800 block of Cornelia Avenue, about a disturbance.
The parents told officers that they arrived home from work with a pizza. As they walked into the home, their daughter was drinking several alcohol shots with a friend. The friend left and there were three shots left. Reid fell asleep. The parents drank two of them and put the third one in the freezer, according to the report.
When Reid woke up, she was still heavily intoxicated and thought the pizza was for her, the report said. She blamed the parents for eating the pizza and drinking all of her shots, according to the Palm Bay Police Department.
As the argument went on about the pizza and alcohol, the mother went into her room. Cynthia Reid followed her.
“Cynthia then started to strike [the mother] on the left side of her facing, causing [her] to bleed from her mother. A small amount of blood was observed on the left crease of [the mother’s] mouth,” the officer said.
Police also observed the mother holding her left wrist and asked about it, but she denied that her daughter injured it.
The mother then broke down and said she didn’t want Reid to go to jail. The father said he only called police because he wanted his daughter to stop fighting with her mother.
The mother refused to complete a statement and stated she would not allow pictures to be taken of her injuries.
Reid was arrested and transported to the Brevard County Jail. She has since been released from jail.

Most years we go out to dinner on Thanksgiving (usually to the Seattle Space Needle) because making a Thanksgiving Turkey Dinner with all the fixin's for 3 or 4 people always seemed like too much work. Jessica always complained about our lack of turkey & tradition - so we came up with our wonderful family tradition of going down to Portland, OR. on the train for Thanksgiving.
... this year ... at the last minute Mike & I decided that we wanted to stay home, make our own turkey and just chill at home at with Katy, the dogs & a glass of wine. We raced out the store late Wednesday afternoon and bought all the necessary supplies even managing to find the perfect little 'petite-sized' turkey - at only 11.5 lbs.
So when I said that I would like to just stay home for Thanksgiving and forget about going out - Mike got very excited and suggested that he could use his deep-fryer and cook the turkey!! Sounds like a plan says I and he was off to the garage to hauled it out almost before I had finished talking.
And into the pot ..
& a New Thanksgiving Tradition was born!
Mix Worcestershire, onion, garlic and hot sauce in blender until liquified. Add prepared mustard, seasoning salt and water. Dry turkey inside and out. With a meat injector, inject ½-cup of marinade into each breast, then inject legs, thighs and wings. If desired, also season the turkey with a pinch of cayenne pepper.
Pour 5 gallons of peanut oil into a pot and heat to 350 degrees. Lovick typically uses 40- and 60-quart pots and places each turkey into a stainless-steel basket, which he then lowers very slowly into the oil. "Where people mess up is they rush it, they drop it in too fast," Lovick says. "You're exposing this cold turkey to the hot oil, and it boils right over." The bird's skin immediately turns a crispy gold, then darkens to a deep amber as it cooks. Cook 3 ½ minutes per pound; Lovick says he knows a turkey is ready when it floats slightly when its basket is lifted for inspection. Remove from pot and allow to cool and "rest" for 30 minutes. "All those juices have to settle down."
Make sure the pot is sufficiently roomy, because a grease fire may result if the oil bubbles over when the turkey is added. Never leave the pot unattended. Lovick always sets up his propane cookers outdoors — and away from wooden decks — as a fire precaution. "The key word is safety," he says. "It's not the first thing — it's the only thing."
It is my Thanksgiving prayer.
This is me ... "Grateful for ... A Home Cooked Thanksgiving & Christmas Lights"
Another Thanksgiving has come & gone in the blink of eye and another Christmas is crashing down upon us!
Katy was home from school for 9 days and they just flew by. In & Out! She arrived on a Friday with bags of dirty laundry and her hamster, Baxter, in tow and left this morning - with bags of clean laundry and her hamster, Baxter, in tow. She called to let Mike know that she'd made it home safely (He's such a worry wart) and said that the drive home was smooth sailing but that it was snowing in Pullman and there was already several inches on the ground - I'd say she made it home just in time ... for Apple Cup and to play in the snow rather than drive in it. Lucky Girl - wish I had some snow!
We had a very nice, albeit quiet Thanksgiving at home. Mike, Kate & I all pitched in and made Thanksgiving dinner - we had a ton of food for only three people but it was so yummy!! It is one of the few times I have cooked a turkey dinner in my life. Katy is actually eating poultry again after 5+ years. With 3 people eating turkey it seemed more worthwhile than when it was just 2 of us (when J still lived at home she would always make us Thanksgiving dinner). It was a pretty small bird - weighing in at just 10 lbs it was really more of a "plus size" chicken. It was a "free-range, organic" turkey and when they aren't stuffed full of steroids they don't seem to grow as big & bloated.
Mike found a new method for cooking the turkey online and it worked really good. You don't stuff, don't baste and cook the bird at 475 degrees instead of 350. The turkey was done in 1.5 hours and was so juicy & tender.
I can not believe the GIANT mess that the 3 of us made in the kitchen to produce this meal! Good Grief! (This is why I hate cooking - the "Super-Fund Site" clean up afterwards) I know your supposed to clean-as-you-go but we were just putting the potato's on as we were pulling the turkey out and the cranberries were boiling one minute and then in the freezer for the next 20 because I forgot about them. CHAOS - pure & simple.
We usually go to the "Space Needle" for Thanksgiving dinner (they have such a wonderful feast and the VIEW on a clear night is KILLER) but I am glad that we decided to stay home this year. It was fun and after dinner Kate & I played "Scattergories". I love that game - if you've never played it you should give it a try - Loads of fun!
After packing Katy up and waving her good-bye this morning Mike & I were "Christmas Elves" - putting up the Christmas decorations in our front yard. It was a perfect day for it - cold but the sun was shinning it's "big yellow face" off all day long. The neighbor across the way was busy putting her decorations up too! Actually - there were so many people out and about today - walking kids, dogs and themselves - everyone seems to come outside when the sun is shining.
Either way though - I love the way it looks. Each little star fits perfectly in between each rail and there was the exact right number of stars to fill the rail slots. There are little lights in the top of the cedar boughs but you can't really tell they are lit in this picture.
I am also quite pleased with myself because this year - instead of hanging my "snowballs" from the tree (where they do look awesome) I was too lazy to wind the cords all through the branches so I just piled them on the ground in front of the snowman so it looks like he is having a "snowball fight" with someone.
I bought a new "fake" Christmas Shrub for my walkway. It just looked kinda nice at the store and I can never get the lights put on my shrubbery too look very nice. It's probably because I lose interest half way through and just start "throwing & tossing" the lights onto the shrubs and they all "glob" together into a big mess. How cute is he!!!
I remember when I was learning to ride a "motorcycle" and took lessons - - before we even got on the bike they taught us that the MOST important lesson to learn about riding was to ... "KNOW YOUR LIMITS". That has always stuck with me (even if the motorcycle didn't) and so I this year I decided to have a "reasonably nice" fake shrub rather than a "reasonably Yucky" real one. Seems I only have about an hour of "Christmas Light" decorating in me and then I get very lazy & messy.
Kate & I were just talking about how great it is that you can never have too much Christmas ... not too many lights, not too much sparkle or twinkle or ornaments - and isn't it great that you can never overdo the cuteness, or the sentiment or the reindeer sweaters. Tacky doesn't exist at Christmas - it's a free ride this time of year and so if you LOVE big blow-up yard Santa's and Elves (or ice-cube snowman)--- go get some. If they make you smile - what's the harm and who's to judge! There can never be too much peace, love, joy or tolerance at Christmas - that's what makes it such a special time of year!
When we were up in Canada Sandra & Brent invited Kate to go hiking with them ... I am not sure where they went but .... What a beautiful lake ... I hear it was a tough, mucky climb up but it sure looks like it was worth it!
YEAH COUGS - They won the 100th Apple Cup & beat my Alma Mater (UW) 42 -35.
This is me ... "Saying Gobble, Gobble & Happy B-Day"
Wishing everyone in Canada a Happy Turkey (or Toferky) Day!
Gobble, Gobble - I hope everyone gets stuffed & enjoys their cranberries, pumpkin pie, mashed potatoes & good company.
I pray we all can bow our heads to Thank the Lord for our many blessings & wonderful families both near & far.
Wow - I love the ring that Livy picked out. She has great taste & you are a lucky girl!
I'll bet that beautiful ring took the sting out of another birthday!

I’ve been recommending Other World Computing (OWC) solid state drives (SSDs) for 16 months now.
For example, in my working Mac Pro, I have used a RAID-0 stripe (600GB as 3 X 200GB) for about a year now, with flawless operation and high performance that entire time. I also use OWC SSDs in my various laptops.
Why do I use only OWC SSDs, and only recommend OWC SSDs? Because they work, and I can rely on the product and the company.
Everything else I’ve tried has disappointed in various ways, ranging from mediocre performance but up to and including failure and data loss with multiple drives. I don’t have time to waste or data to lose— I want a vendor I can trust to get it right. Recent events have only affirmed the wisdom of avoiding several other popular brands, which have proven themselves to be not only unreliable, but in some cases, unethical companies. Such companies do not change or improve; they slowly implode as the supply of suckers runs out, though sometimes supply is ample.
OWC maintains a large test lab of Macs, tests on Macs, offers free high quality support for Macs, maintains high ethical standards for the quality of their products including stuff that might not be visible to the end user. I know this from asking hundreds of questions of OWC over the past few years, and the answer and how it’s answered are consistently about Doing the Right Thing. I have good bullcrap meter, and I use it with every company I deal with, and I’m not about to risk my reputation on just any vendor.
OWC isn’t perfect in hardware design (neither is Apple), they cannot catch everything, but when something does go awry, they don’t pass the buck or lie about it, they stand behind their product and fix it. Which is not to say that OWC can fix Apple’s issues too.
Some readers have inquired about recent delays in OWC shipping new SSD models. The answer is simple: unlike the skanky vendors out there, OWC wants to take the time to get it right. Every time I’ve asked “when” can I test a new model (and I ask a lot), the response has been in essence “when we get it right and fully tested”.
OWC’s recent retroactive warranty extension is a case in point of a vendor that believes in their product: OWC extended the warranty to five (5) years for their Mercury Extreme Pro 6G SSD. Add in the 30-day money back guarantee, and a picture emerges of a company that takes pride in their products and is willing to back that up. That’s the only kind of company I want to buy from.
Meanwhile, other SSD vendors are busy shipping problem products, issuing recalls and generally bullsh*tting their customers as to why things went wrong (because they rush products to market with out-of-spec or marginal parts and fail to adequately test them and don’t want to ’fess up to that). Lately, there have even been insinuations of defective Sandforce controllers, which based on my information appears to be 100% bull poop, misinformation hinted at by unethical vendors as a way to evade the problems of their own making.
Building an SSD is not soldering a controller chip to some flash memory chips. Anyone who buys an SSD on specs or the controller type or to save a few bucks from vendor X is making a big mistake.
There is one and only one brand I recommend: OWC. I have to pay for my SSDs like everyone else, and that’s the only brand I’m willing to spend my hard-earned cash on. And it’s the only brand I recommend for the MPG Pro Laptop and MPG Pro Workstation, because I want repeat customers wholly satisfied with a rock-solid purchase.
Disclosure: OWC is an advertiser on this site. I have also chosen OWC as the vendor that provides the upgrade service for the diglloyd MPG Pro Laptop and diglloyd MPG Pro Workstation upgrades, because I trust them to do the job right and stand behind it. Other than loaners for review, I pay for the products that I keep for my own use. I recommend OWC because I personally use and like their products, as should be obvious from the above.

Starting out as a rhythm section (bass, drums, guitar, turntable) led by singer song-writer Robertson, Bullfrog has evolved over the years refining their sound and style. The core of the band, Mark Robertson, Peter Santiago , Max Sansalone and Eric (Kid Koala) San have been working together since ’94. Initially averaging over 100 shows a year in the Montreal-Toronto area they soon became a club favourite .
Appearing at the Montreal Jazz Festival in ’96 along with an opening slot for Maceo Parker helped change the profile of the band. Since, they released 2 independent Ep’s, Bullfrog I & II (Toys Factory/ Outside) ,recorded on Kid Koala’s “Carpal Tunnel Syndrome” (Ninja Tune) and toured the “Meals on Wheels of Steel” World Tour 2000.
In 2001 they released their self titled debut Lp on Ropeadope records ( WEA) touring north america with the Project Logic ( Dj Logic) and again with Robert Walter’s 20th congress headlining clubs and festivals ( SXSW 2002) across North America and Europe.
robertson’s self-produced “Deeper Shade of Green” Ep (2004 Outside) released with a cross canada Jazz Festival tour with amazing brazilian drummer/percussionist Guttierrez (Bahia) , and a 2005 european tour as bass player for MoneyMark .
re-appearing at Montreal Jazz festival 2008 as Robertson and fka Bullfrog releasing the “FavoritePeople” Lp, the album was then re-released in europe on (Soulbeats/Discographe) in 2009 after an appearance on french and german national television show ” One Shot Not” ARTE TV where Bullfrog singer/guitarist Robertson was backed by renowned french drummer Manu Katche and the greatest bass player on earth Marcus Miller. Then a few european tours followed .
Robertson and Santiago have since been writing in the studio teamed up with producer Carl Bastien. Receiving a grant from C.A.L.Q in 2012 has help get the band back into the studio the record the now ready Lp ” Robertson and the formerly known bullfrog ” out this September ! Thanks for all the support … music is the best !

The intention of this post is to focus on the Office Deployment Tool (ODT) as part of the troubleshooting process.
In case you have trouble installing the click-to-run (C2R) version of Office, the ODT may come in handy and help to get your new Office installed.
The key concept is that the ODT allows to separate the file download from the installation process which helps to exclude network related issues from the picture.
Disable firewall and antivirus; consider disabling proxy settings.
If you still encounter installation issues after testing the above steps, an essential step is the Office Deployment Tool.
We’ll show you the step by step instructions for the ODT in a bit but some administrative notes first.
That being said, here is a hands on example of the steps to install Office click to run via the Office Deployment Tool.
Please follow the outlined order.
1. Download the Office Deployment Tool from the above link.
- Once you extract it (by simply double clicking on it), it will contain 1 setup and 1 configuration file.
2. You then need to modify the configuration file “configuration.xml”.
-> The comment markers <!-- and --> (highlighted in Red) need to be removed.
-> The value for SourcePath need to be replaced by a valid path on your machine.
Note: This is the target path for the downloaded files.
The simplest way would be to use the same path where you have placed the Office Deployment Tool.
For example in my case, I saved the Office Deployment Tool in C:/ODT, therefore I will replace \\Server\Share\Office\ with C:\ODT\.
The above are the ‘must do’ edits.
-> Bitness of Office: by default it is 32, you may switch it to 64 if you wish. Note: The recommended default is 32 bit.
-> In case you need to configure other aspects of the installation you may also remove the <!-- and --> for the other settings.
A full description of available customizations in the configuration.xml is available here.
3. The first is for downloading the setup files on the local machine.
C:\PATH to setup>setup.exe /download "Path to configuration file\configuration.xml"
Therefore, using the cd command you need to move into the folder where you have stored the deployment tool, then input the above command.
In my case, I stored the setup and the configuration file in C:/ODT as seen above.
And you will have a confirmation at the end that the packages have been downloaded successfully.
If you then check in the folder where you have stored the setup.exe and the configuration file, you will see that a new folder has been created, containing the necessary components for the installation.
The new folder structure won’t contain a setup executable file to run. The installation has to be performed through the deployment tool as well, with a very similar command as the one for download.
C:\<PATH to setup>setup.exe /configure "<Path to configuration file>\configuration.xml"

Hi Nathan, I’m glad the information above was helpful.
Essentially it is used when you want to create an Office App-V package.
This is a lot of good info. What about using the /packager option?
Can the same be done with HomeBusinessRetail ???
Globally dominates markets for decades … offers only a crappy XML to customize flagship product.
I followed your instructions, but there was no progress output in the command prompt. I am not sure if that is an error or not, but I did find some files in the specified directory. Weird.
you with no Publisher and a completely broken Office install. Why? Well having looked at the installation ISOs they are exactly the same. They even have an XML file listing all the product ID’s C2R supports – so what we have is a C2R singleimage installer.
The sooner they ditch C2R the better in my opinion. This is not the first problem I have had with it and will not be the last. I think MS know it is junk as the fix for all C2R is uninstall and try again – aka there is no fix, so pickup dice and roll them again!
Hi! I tried to follow your suggestions, but when I try to download the file, I obtain the error 2696484 …..
Hi, thanks for sharing this. May I know how big is the file? As for mine, it didn’t show "Packages downloaded successfully".
Advise for Lucy and Ringtone: recreate your config file o r try first with the standard one….
This is another joke from MS, seriously just make downloadable install packages, even if you get this method to work it ends up being twice as slow as the older methods.
via .exe or .msi install setup application.
If it isn’t broken why change the way on how to implement and deploy newer versions of Office. MS Innovation broken as usual.
How about Office 2016? Does this article support it? I already have all the files (from ms-vnext), what’s next?
The download was not working for me because i was setting a Language ID that was not available for the product i was downloading (O365BussinessRetail). I was using my country locale es-ec but using general spanish locale es-es worked fine.
Also you can set UpdatePath to "" so setup.exe selects the best CDN according to your location.
Anyway installation does install all the applications :-/ Any ideas what is wrong here?
There is a process called Click to Run running and a Office folder has been created with the v64.cab files inside so I guess all is ok I just can’t see the progress of it?
Or have I ran it wrong?
useful to someone who needs to deploy the C2R Office version to multiple computers.
access to. The TechNet guides are sparse and ran into issues immediately, and there aren’t really guides to help you troubleshoot. Very frustrating.

Bajo Tierra Kitchen began in January 2014. After working at local farms, and in the food service industry for many years we began experimenting in our own kitchens with food preservation. Our passion was, and remains today, to preserve excess produce that would otherwise go to waste. After experiencing first hand the struggles of local food producers we wanted to find a way to provide an additional revenue stream for farmers, and create new job opportunities in our community. At Bajo Tierra Kitchen we love feeding people good food, and know that food brings us all closer together.
Our small batch Kimchi uses the freshest ingredients available. We buy from organic distributors and support local farms by sourcing through Pivot Produce. What makes our Kimchi Sonoran Style? We use regional chile varieties such as chiltipins, and nardellos, we also add cilantro creating a unique Sonoran desert flavor.
Bajo Tierra Kitchen’s Sonoran style Kimchi uses organic produce, and when possible naturally grown, local produce. We add extra ginger, because we love it. Our Kimchi is vegetarian, instead of fish sauce we use Kombu seaweed, which can be a good way to add calcium and iron to your diet. It does contain a small amount of local, ethically harvested honey, but otherwise vegan friendly.
We use time and temperature to achieve a balanced product that is full of life. Our product is available after a minimum of 20 days fermentation. A long fermentation = unique flavor derived during the early metabolic stages, and the benefits of lactobacillus, naturally occurring at later stages of fermentation.
Because our Kimchi is a live product it should be kept refrigerated at all times. All our products have been tested by an independent lab for six months, and certified by the health department.

Cycling Action Network (CAN) is New Zealand’s national network of cycling advocates. It works with government, local authorities, businesses and the community on behalf of cyclists, for a better cycling environment.
UpShift worked with CAN for eight months – we audited it’s existing brand and communications, created a fresh new brand that better represented what it is today, and designed a new look for it's website, collateral and marketing devices.
UpShift and CAN began talking in 2014 about how CAN could better engage with it’s audience and key stakeholders.
During it’s existence CAN has grown from a small group of advocates to NZ’s leading agency for driving positive change in cycle use and the infrastructure that enables it. It has become more dynamic and a catalyst for action.
The first thing we did was audit CAN’s current communications and brand – this included surveying CAN’s members and associated advocate groups and key stakeholders. We looked at what CAN was doing well, and where opportunities existed for improvement. We also investigated if and how the organisation's voice had changed over the years as it, and cycling in NZ, had matured.
Following the communications audit we used the information to create a new brand for CAN. Originally CAN stood for ‘Cycling Advocates Network’ – we changed it to Cycling Action Network to better represent what it stood for. We chose a vibrant red for high impact and positivity and created a new ‘badge’ design that could be used as a device across a wide range of collateral.
We then looked at CAN’s website and created a new architecture and design that CAN’s web providers are currently rolling out.
UpShift is a big fan of CAN and the great work it does. We’re proud to have helped them refresh their communications and brand and we’ll continue to offer them advice and support into the future. Now get out on your bike for a ride!

Martin Luther King Jr., the grandest preacher of freedom, who believed that every man had a right to live in a world devoid of shackles – not just political or societal – would hardly have been reflecting about the growth of a sport in a country when he was delivering his most influential speech, I Have A Dream, in America in 1963. The crusader for racism and mental enslavement fought and died for a cause, all the while encouraging the local citizens to take on the “powerful” oppressors for a just cause.
Far away from the universe that he had grown so accustomed to, a group of young individuals, who had been driven away from their homes, were learning the ropes of cricket to idle away time. Playing with paper balls, make-shift cardboard wickets and long wooden sticks that doubled up for a bat, the sport was offering an ounce of solace to the grief-stricken beings who were now settled in refugee camps in Pakistan. With the rule of Taliban spreading far and wide all over Afghanistan, and with all sports banned, the country was imprisoned – not physically, but psychologically.
The very same individuals, who had grown up learning the tricks of the game in small camps in Pakistan, are now professionals with serious skill sets. Though they might never have heard of Luther King’s sermons, an identification of the importance of self-esteem and the will to attain the utmost freedom to achieve dreams fast-tracked Afghanistan’s journey into the cricketing realm.
As Asghar Afghan’s side impressed with their ability to run all four nations close in the Asia Cup – two wins, two last over losses and one tie against a rampaging India team – the rapid strides that have been taken by the sport in the nation is not only impressive, but mightily inspiring as well. The side was entrusted with the Affiliate tag in 2001 after the Afghanistan Cricket Board was formed six years earlier and in the next decade, they had taken serious steps towards fulfilling their dreams.
They steadily rose up from Division Five in the World Cricket League to win Division Three within two years. Though Afghanistan failed to qualify for the World Cup in 2011, they had done well to earn an ODI status, albeit for just four years. In the next five years, the side collected a strong bunch of players, with Mohammad Shahzad and Mohammad Nabi leading the pack. A one-dimensional goal coupled with passionate youngsters, who were eager to leave the horrifying images of the struggles of their childhood behind, and officials, who were keen to ensure that Afghanistan was not just known as a nation that had been gruesomely invaded by America, eventually led to consistent wins over higher-ranked teams.
The largest victory came when the side was awarded a Test status last year, and since then there has been no looking back.
With 12 wins in 20 ODI matches this year, Afghanistan have more than proved that they no longer are mere minnows. In Shahzad – who blazed away to a fine ton against India – and skipper Afghan, the side has experienced campaigners who can steady the ship in crucial encounters and moments. Hashmatullah Shahidi, Najibullah Zadran and Rahmat Shah are rising as determined young cricketers who all average more than 38 with the bat in 2018. Dawlat Zadran, Nabi, Gulbadin Naib, Najibullah Zadran and Rashid Khan have a strike-rate of more than 90 with the bat and have been instrumental in ensuring each innings ends on a high. Packed with solid all-rounders, the team has enough firepower with the bat, but it is the bowling that has stood out to impress in more ways than one.
This year, Afghanistan have scored more than 260 runs only once – when they managed 333 runs against Zimbabwe at Sharjah in February. Four times they have scored between 250 and 260 this year while batting first, losing two, winning one and tying the game with India. Four times the score notched up by the Afghan batsmen have been less than 250 batting first, and Afghanistan have ended as the winning side on three occasions, which adequately states the commendable job that is being done by their bowlers, led by Rashid.
What is more remarkable however, is the performances of the unit when Afghanistan are fielding first. Not once have the young group of bowlers given away more than 250 runs this year. The highest score that they conceded was 246 runs against Bangladesh early in the Asia Cup. 10 times Rashid and Co. Have restricted the rivals to a score of 215 or less in 11 matches where they have bowled first, winning 7 of those games.
The fact that two Afghan bowlers, Rashid and Mujeeb ur Rahman lead the global wicket-taking tally this year – they have 48 and 37 wickets at 14.45 and 19.54, respectively – implies how integral the spinners have been to the success of the side. More importantly, in an era when flat tracks and scores above 320 are easily set up and chased down, a side like Afghanistan have been reversing the trend and doing so against competitive teams like Zimbabwe, Ireland and Bangladesh.
With constant high-scores and lop-sided matches, a sense of monotony had crept over the cricketing world but by breaking the norm and by carving their own niche where bowlers lead the way, and consistently, Afghanistan, in their short stay have proven that more than the war-torn needing cricket to bring jubilation, the sport needs a team who can shy away from the common to script a unique tale.

YouTube Live content creation and viewing just got even more accessible.
Vloggers who use YouTube Live to engage with their followers can now use an option enabling ultra-low latency while streaming a video. The feature helps to reduce any lagging with only a couple of seconds of latency – instead of having to use special software or encoders. So, real-time interaction will now be easier as it is not necessary to wait as long for the camera to capture and display the event in order to answer questions or comments.
Other improvements include the possibility to predict what viewers are going to say. Yes, you read that correctly! There are new tools for chat moderation to help control the tone of your conversations on YouTube. Inline moderation allows moderating the chat feed by pressing “alt/option” button on the keyboard to pause the chat feed. Then it is possible to hover over messages to approve or delete them. You can even go as far as assigning a moderator for the live chat who has the responsibility of removing, flagging or hiding messages. Another option is holding potentially inappropriate messages for review to decide whether to report, hide or approve them.

This month, our newest team member – psychologist, Rachel Chan – talks about the importance of resilience for good mental health.
The art of resilience is a topic that I am extremely passionate about, as I have seen in my work that resilience very much underpins good psychological health and wellbeing – for people of all ages.
In my sessions with clients, a key focus – irrespective of the issues at hand – is around helping that person to develop and improve their levels of resilience. I have seen that when this skill is developed, people generally appear to develop a greater sense of control over their problems and appear much more capable of generating positive solutions for themselves.
In order to be better equipped to build our resilience it first helps to understand exactly what it ‘looks’ like.
‘the capacity to recover quickly from difficulties; toughness’.
Another way to describe resilience might be to see it as a skill or strength – our ability to cope with stress, challenges and change and to confidently adapt to new situations.
Resilience enables us to approach our lives with a sense of confidence and optimism, and people with greater resilience have been shown to have better mental health overall. Resilient people don’t allow themselves to wallow or dwell on life’s mistakes and negative stuff; rather, they openly acknowledge the situation, learn from their mistakes, and then move forward, freeing themselves up for more positive outcomes in the process.
When we develop our resilience, we can see a more positive image of the future; we know our strengths and capacity for things (and can achieve them without overstretching ourselves), and we can confidently set realistic goals for what we want out of life. When we’re resilient, we also waste less time worrying what others think and we are much less likely to fall prey to peer pressure – which is an excellent tool for children and young people to develop.
Depending on our parents’ parenting styles, our past experiences and our habits, we each all have a different capacity for resilience. Developing self-awareness is the best first step, and by noticing our emotions and how we respond to challenges, stress and change we can start to see our patterns. Are they habitual? Or can we take a step back and ‘observe’ our reaction to things?
Another part of self-awareness is knowing our good bits, too. Do you know your best attributes? Are you able to play to your strengths in your day to day life? Getting to grips with what we can and can’t control is another key to mastering a resilient attitude to life, as is looking beyond individual problems and remembering life’s bigger picture.
Looking at our difficulties or challenges and asking ourselves “How can I best tackle this”, “What’s the solution to this?” or “What is this experience trying to teach me?’ means that we can bypass ‘victim mentality’and instead transform our challenges into an opportunity to problem-solve, learn and grow.
The really good news is that no matter what your age, upbringing or past experience resilience isn’t something that should be out of reach. It’s not a fixed personality trait, nor it is not something that you are ‘born with’ – it’s really just a skill, like any other, and can be mastered over time – particularly with the support of a good psychologist.
If you are looking for help to become more resilient, then you might like to consider making an appointment with one of our psychologists so that you can start to develop these skills.

File photo: Tourists will be able to take the car from the proposed base station in the Mnweni valley, west of Bergville, to the summit station on Mount Amery in the Royal Natal National Park.
Durban - The Economic Development, Tourism and Environmental Affairs Department is planning to host a conference on the long-awaited Drakensberg cable car project.
“Through the conference, we hope to get better understanding of environmental issues and mitigating factors that can influence the development of the cable car and best model to be utilised in development, management and operation of this project,” said MEC Michael Mabuyakhulu.
Mabuyakhulu said the Ithala development finance corporation has since been appointed as a service provider for the environmental impact assessment for the Drakensberg cable car.
However, Mabuyakhulu did not state how much had been set aside for the conference, nor when it would be held.
In another development, Mabuyakhulu said recommendations were being considered from last year’s consultative process with stakeholders on the proposed tourism levy.
He said the tourism levy would not be implemented this financial year.
Mabuyakhulu also promised a clamp-down on illegal alcohol traders and those operating within 500 metres from schools and churches.

It's not always about sewing around here. In fact it's rarely about sewing lately.
A few weeks ago I was sick in bed all Friday. Not horrible sick, just sick enough that when I tried to do things, all I wanted was to go back to bed. I got the kids off to school and went back to sleep until 11, but after that I was pretty bored. Sitting still drives me nuts!
For some reason I decided to watch YouTube videos on making French Macarons. I have always wanted to try making these perfectly, beautiful cookies, but have been too nervous to give it a go. I knew they were tricky, but after four hours of the University of YouTube under my belt, I felt pretty confident to finally try. Then I tried again, and again and again. Just yesterday I made a pretty fantastic batch and love them! These are lemon, and they are my favorite so far. I have been using this recipe from the Joy of Baking and it has worked well for me. This recipe uses the French meringue method and comes together pretty quickly.
There are so many different tricks and tips out there. I try something a bit different each time I make them. I'm still attempting to reach perfection--perfect feet, no hallow shells, and beautiful smooth tops! No one around me complains too much at my desire to keep trying to make these beautiful little cookies. I've been spreading the love with all my cookie attempts!
For my third try, I used the Italian meringue method. It's more work, takes longer and didn't seem to make that much difference in the end. The cookies did turn out pretty well, but might not be worth the extra work when the French method worked well too. They bake up really pretty and had perfect ruffled feet (the base of the cookie)! I'm still torn between which method I'll stick with.
My second try was a bit over-mixed and flat. These ones didn't raise as well as I would have liked. The dark chocolate ganache was yummy, but I felt it overpowered these cookies just a bit too much. I favor the creamy and fruity flavors much more in macarons.
My first attempt was under-mixed because I was so afraid of messing up the batter, and I didn't mix them for quite as long as I should have. They have rough tops and didn't spread at all. The batter was simply too thick. The filling so amazing though. It's just cream cheese mixed with good quality raspberry jam to taste. Such a perfect filling for these cookies!
It's been fun seeing progress as I experiment and figure out this new adventure. I'll be making more this weekend to send to my sister. What are your favorite flavors?

When the sun is going down and there’s that eight-minute period just before it goes dark, it’s like. Litecoin is in its seventh minute.” Despite its recent ascendance both in price and in position, the altcoin has been plummeting since the start of the year, and is now at its lowest point since May 2017.

Strange things seem to be going on in the garden. I’ve been growing hydrangeas for many years, but I have never seen this before.
My white lace caps bloomed as lovely and normal as ever earlier in the spring. About two weeks ago, I went around and cut off the spent blooms. There already were buds for new growth showing up farther down the stems. About three days ago, I noticed that new flower buds had sprung up on one of the new growth areas. Yesterday, I was startled to see the flowers starting to open, but they were not the normal lacecap ones.
Here is what the flowers looked like this May.
I am sure this has something to do with this being a second flush of flowers, but I don’t know why.
I guess this goes under the “you learn something new every day” category.
A few years back, I was startled to see a small plant starting to grow on the flower stem of a daylily (that post is here). I soon found out about poliferation, a leafy shoot on a scape of a daylily plant. It often times will form roots which will allow the shoot to be planted to form a new plant. When it happened to one of my daylilies, the proliferation did not survive.
Usually, I cut back the stems of spent flowers, but somehow, a stem of Misty Mayhaw got by me. Imagine my surprise when I saw buds coming from the middle of the stem. I never thought that a proliferation would have flowers. But, sure enough, there were two buds. The first one did not open properly, but the second on did.
Now, I have to see if I can get this proliferation to live on its own.
I thought I had seen just about everything, but seeing that flower shows that we always have something new to learn.
Looks like there might be a problem with capping the oil well in the Gulf. It has been reported that there is some seepage of oil near the well head. Everyone around here is hoping that the cap won’t have to be opened to relieve pressure thereby sending more oil into the Gulf of Mexico.
After Hurricane Katrina, there were garden flags sold that encouraged people to return to the New Orleans area and restore Louisiana. The fleur dis lis on these flags became the symbol for hurricane recovery. The oil spill has spurred the same commitment, and flags have started showing up. I am sure you have seen the photos of the oily pelicans; the pelican has now become the symbol of Gulf Restoration. I bought my flag last week which touts Gulf Restoration. A portion of the proceeds of the purchase price will go to the Audubon Institute’s Bird Rehabilitation Project.
Please pray that this well cap holds until the relief well is finished, and the well is finally capped. Then, we can begin to clean up this mess and begin to heal people’s lives.
NBC Nightly News did a heartbreaking story on the many Gulf Coast pets that have had to be surrendered to animal shelters because their owners can no longer afford to care for them. You can see it here. It shows that it is not only the wildlife like pelicans, turtles, and dolphins that have been hurt by this disaster.
I found this prayer for the Gulf on the internet and wanted to share it with you.
the terrible suffering of all life-forms in the Gulf of Mexico.
and the threat to coastal ways of life.
Have mercy o God, have mercy.
to all who struggle to contain this disaster.
Let those who lost their lives rest in peace.
to create anew the face of this earth.
The coastline of the Gulf of Mexico is not Louisiana’s coast, or Texas’s coast, or Mississippi’s, or Alabama’s. It is America’s coast, and belongs to everyone. Everyone needs to demand that this area be restored.
I love white flowers. I love roses. I love white roses.
Gardening in the hot, humid south means that some plants struggle here. Roses are one of those plants. Because of our high humidity, if you want to grow roses without having to spray, that means no hybrid teas. The few roses that I grow are floribundias, Ghinas, or Knockouts. The white rose I have is Iceberg. While it does bloom very well in the spring, the three I have just seem to struggle. I think they just aren’t real happy here. That is why I was looking forward to the development of a white Knockout rose.
I have had great success with the Knockouts. While I have one of the red and one pink Knockouts, it is Blushing that is my favorite. There are now four of that one in the garden, but it is a white one that I really wanted. Last year I read about White Out (Rosa Radwhite) from the developer of the Knockout roses. While this is not a Knockout rose, it is the closest they have come to a white Knockout. It is supposed to bloom as profusely as a Knockout, but reportedly, it is not quite as disease resistant.
I found White Out when my sister and I went shopping last Friday. (The above photo was taken before new buds opened, so the flower is a little damaged from being in the car.) I was so excited to find this rose. I had been looking online since I had not seen it locally, but the shipping costs can be very high for container roses. This rose is supposed to be resistant to diseases and a prolific bloomer like the Knockouts. The flowers have been described as cream white, but I think they are really white.
I am hopeful that this new rose will perform well in my garden. If it does, I will be planting more. I can’t have enough white flowers.
This certainly is turning out to be a daylily summer. I have added three more daylilies to the garden. Last Friday, my sister and I went out shopping, and, of course, we had to stop at a few nurseries. The heat was almost unbearable, but worth it as I found daylilies in bloom and on sale. My plan to add more blooming perennials to the garden is coming along very well as I am finding so many lovely daylilies.
Please excuse the condition of the flowers. Each plant still has several buds, but I wanted to share the pictures with you as soon as possible, so I took these photos of the flowers at the end of the day after they had been in the car. There is a little wear on the blooms, but you can still see how lovely they are.
Here is Little Wart, such a terrible name for such a lovely flower.
Next is Clara. I bought two of this variety.
Finally, there is Joylene Nichole.
All of these daylilies will go in the “pink” garden. I think that I have enough pink daylilies, and I am now ready to move onto other colors. Some of the darker colors are attractive as well as the spider type daylilies. I am really excited about daylilies now. After adding over ten daylilies to the garden in the last month, this summer is really turning out to be all about daylilies.
Ever since we have moved here many years ago, from time to time, I have seen black snakes in the lawn or garden. Sometimes they are fairly large, but mostly they are small, young snakes. The first few times I saw these, I freaked, but now, while I am usually startled, I don’t run the opposite way. This year, however, there is a small, black snake that has taken a liking to my garden. I have seen him several times, in many different areas of the garden. It usually doesn’t stay around but slithers off to more secluded areas. Yesterday, when I saw it sunning itself on an amaryllis leaf, probably trying to dry off, I called dear hubby to see it, and he took a quick photo.
Whenever I see a snake in the garden, I am always reminded of one of my favorite Emily Dickinson poems.
I know that tighter breathing.
Grasshoppers are still attacking the garden, but there were casualties on their side since I lasted posted. I must now report on a second front that has opened in the Garden War of 2010. It is not animal foe, but plant one. I am fighting and determined to eliminate Artemisia Limelight. Don’t ever plant this stuff in the garden.
I planted this about six years ago, and it was fine for about two years, and then – trouble. I love variegated plants and this seemed perfect for the partial shade of our entry garden. At first, this seemed like a great plant for that area. Its variegated foliage brought some light and color especially in the shadier parts of the area. In winter, when so much of the garden is dormant, this was a nice addition. The cold did knock it back a bit, but in spring it came back just fine. I even transplanted some of the spreading plants. After the second year though, it became a thug. It seemed for every one plant I pulled up, three more grew in its place. Part of the problem is that when yanking this plant out, the stems break leaving the roots. Another mistake I made was that I would pull up most plants but would always leave a few because this was such an attractive plant.
Leaving a few plants was the problem. It always seemed to spread too much. The last two years, I have been pulling up the little babies, but still they kept coming. This spring I decided I would give no quarter to this plant that was invading my garden and making it look so unkempt. I have been digging up and pulling Limelight for four months, and finally, I may have it beaten. I say “may” because we have just had several days of heaving rain and that may help it come back. This afternoon when I checked, I could only find about five plants which were quickly dispatched. It seems this is a battle I may be winning.
This is such an attractive plant, and it is a shame it is so aggressive. In researching this plant, I have found I am not the only one having a problem with this particular artemisia. Learn from my mistake, don’t plant this artemisia in the garden. It may do well in a container, but beware. I have read that even then it tries to escape.

I don’t know who made it, or why. And something tells me that them uniting might be a terrible idea and bad for mankind … but I still love it. Thank you, producer, for making douchebags mildly endearing. I found myself almost rooting for them at the end.
I love denim. Jeremy might argue that I have a bit of an addiction. This would be the antibody.
I regularly school Jeremy in Trivial Pursuit. The co-creator has passed away. Hopefully this doesn’t mean a delay in release of the Trivial Pursuit: American Idol edition.
Al and Tipper Gore have decided to get a divorce and announced it via a mass … e-mail?

Why choose Nic at Clarity?
I am committed to providing a safe, confidential, empathic and supportive environment and relationship where you can explore your feelings and concerns at your own pace and sometimes challenge them, your behaviours, beliefs and values. Counselling provides the opportunity to talk about issues that impact on your life can help bring clarity and together we can realise what your choices and resources are and find solutions to get you back on track.
Each counselling session is unique and specifically caters to your goals. My counselling training was integrative, meaning that I have extensive knowledge of a wide range of different approaches. It may be short-term, focusing on a specific issue or longer-term, looking at more complex issues. There may be times when you are asked to follow up with self-improvement outside of the counselling session to enable the therapeutic process to continue. You’ll be asked to make note of any insights and learning and bring them to the next session for discussion.
At your first session, we can talk through what you would like to focus on and what has brought you to counselling – see this as an initial consultation. I’ll ask you to complete a form with your personal contact details, medical history details of any counselling that you may have had previously and what you would like to achieve from therapy.
Following this appointment, if you would like to continue with counselling, we can set up weekly 50 minute sessions.
The number of sessions required will vary from person to person. There is no time set to deal with a specific problem and therefore my counselling is not time-limited. All therapy is treated with sensitivity, empathy and in the strictest confidence.
I have diplomas in hypnotherapy and counselling skills (Dip Hip) and in psychotherapeutic counselling (Dip PC) and an advanced professional diploma in psychotherapeutic counselling (Ad. Prof. Dip. PsyC). I am an Accredited Registrant of the National Counselling Society (MNCS) and Registered member of the British Association of counsellors and psychotherapists (MBACP),adhering to their ethical guidelines for good practice.
I have also attended continuous professional development courses (CPD) on Overcoming Procrastination, Treating OCD, Mindfulness for Anxiety and Depression, Personality and Personality Disorders and working with teenagers and couples. My training included a year‘s placement with Place2Be, a children’s counselling charity, as volunteer play therapist working with 7-11 years olds. I currently work with Fegans seeing 9-16 year olds.
£70 for couples for 60 minutes.
I accept payment by cash, cheque or bank transfer (in advance).
I appreciate that sometimes things come up last minute that make it difficult to attend a session. If you can give me 48 hours notice that would be appreciated. Otherwise, you will be charged for the full cost of the session. Alternative fees can be negotiated in special circumstances.
Join me for a free 30 minutes discovery call so that I can find out a bit more about you, what your goals are right now or what you want them to be, so you can experience coaching and also see if we are a good fit to work together, to help you with the results you want to achieve.
I work on the outskirts of Maidstone, (10 minutes from Junction 7, M20). The centre is easily accessible and has ample parking on site after 5pm, at weekends and in the area. If you would like further information and/or to arrange an appointment please contact me using the form or the details below.

The last two stanzas really hit it home for me. Awesome poem, makes me miss writing.
Same thing I was thinking. Great poem that touches the core while tiptoeing on real life.
Just a Freshly Pressed poem that I wanted to remember.
A thought provoking perspective. Things are changing but in what ways, and are we better for it? I like the layout of your stanzas.
I like how I scroll over your picture at the top.
Nicely done – congrats on your FP! I am just starting to dabble in poetry. I love this.
It is, indeed, all a gift, isn’t it?
What a beautiful picture and blog. Are you sure that picture of Hammonassett Beach, CT isn’t San Diego? It is so pieceful and awesome.
How do you know if you don’t commit? You can not say. Most often it is a sacrifice, because it is someting we believe in and care about. And that is worth commiting to. The fun of it all! Gee… That is a lot to put in my soft memory bank. Fun? Yes! But fleeting and usually not memorable in the long run. Can we really say we deserve? I do not know. Even not being commited is saying that I believe in it enough to commit to not taking the challenge of commiting. The day is comming to an end. Make the most of each and every day.
Enjoy the commitments and the spontaneousness of each and every moment.
enjoyed every bit…congratulations on being freshly pressed!
It says a lot more than seen at first glance- something to think about today- thanks for this!
I really like how you nailed it home at the end. great truth in your words and eloquently played out.
This is an awesome poem. There really comes a time when we think about this kind of things, especially when we get older. Just remember that it is never too late to do whatever it is we want.
Reblogged this on acehbarat0's Blog.
Wow the Last stanza hit me like a train.. It is soo true. Sadly. There are two coins of every story. And us wanting more and more from life is making us numb as well.
I have had this exact same conversation with myself. Hugs!
I have these same thoughts. This is so insightful and curious. I love it!
Beautiful and so real ! Thank you for this delightful read!
Great poem! I love the ending.
Beautiful poem – lovely blog. Congratulations.
Reblogged this on WHAT'S UP WITH ME AND STUFF.
Love it. An ode to living life to the fullest. As adults, we tend to lose sight on the youth we still have.
I loved your poem. And I think that committing to something makes us stronger.
I agree. This poem was really born of frustration with those who balk at commitment. Thank you for reading!
Reblogged this on My Way With Words.
Reblogged this on Neybin's Sancturary.
I suppose when I compare my own options in life to my parents’ – I have a lot more choices. And up until this point, I have held that these choices are liberating and only good. Just recently, I have noticed how many people in their twenties play this game of bumper cars + I know see the real value of commitment and sacrifice. Thank you for your comment…!
Beautiful poem! Congratulations on being freshly pressed!
It sounds sad; a reflection on the disabilities of ennui and the fear of commitments. Beautifully written.
Some times we can’t seem to keep up and looking back, you don’t see what was done. It’s real easy to get lost in this maze of life. Love the poem a lot.
Absolutely love this. Great insight to our daily life.
This struck a chord on so many levels!!!
Totally resonates with me…been feeling similar to this lately. Well done.
Awesome poem, makes me keep writing.
Made my mind ponder. The imae that you used here, as a direction to my thoughts. Suddenly feelin a fresh unreal breeze, I am ‘made’ to think; But What Is It That I Want?
Beautiful Poem; Especially the last stanzas.
something I wish I was able to orchestrate.

Gbpusd - H4 - Here's an analysis of a trade signal given in my privare group. Over here we a have a Buy signal for gbpusd pair which we entered at 1.4140 with stops at 1.4080 and tp 1.43 - 1.44. Ball out!!!
Price is making HH an HL in the bigger TF (weekly) for a long time, this possibly a HL + Double bottom, we can see some kind of exhaustion in the 4hr TF. Safe way to take this trade is to wait for the price to break out of the yellow zone. If the price brakes out up and close above i will consider this trade valid.
After a considerable drop based on the General Election result I feel now is a good time to get in cheap on the GBP against a falling USD. I have placed my stop just below the current 200sma (which i expect to rise over the next few weeks) and set my TP below yesterday's open.
Firstly price moved above 200sma on 18/4/17 for the first time since the Brexit referendum. Price action has consolidated above the 1.27648 level which had proven to be a difficult resistance level to breach post Brexit, this level has since turned to a clear support level over the last week. Initial TP placed just shy of the 1.30000 round number.
Can't find any bearish flags to suggest a further fall, buts lots of U-shaped moves, suggesting a move back to 1.27. Also note 50% fib.

Dhanbad: The extension of Dhanbad railway station, coming up on its southern side, is likely to be ready by December when passengers can hope to enjoy a host of amenities.
Ninety per cent work on the station complex, comprising a waiting hall, four ticket counters, enquiry counters and catering units, a roundabout and a parking lot towards Purana Bazaar, is over.
Only, the roundabout to be used by incoming vehicles and an approach road to the station are left. Construction had started in August 2011.
“Besides the roundabout, the newly built waiting hall, enquiry and ticket counters and catering units need to be furnished. The district administration will build the approach road,” said Dayanand, senior divisional commercial manager of Dhanbad division of East Central Railway.
Earlier, the railway board had issued a no-objection certificate to build the 1.5km approach road that will pass through its land in Joraphatak. But traders of Purana Bazaar objected to the plan.
Consequently, district and railway officials, and traders carried out a joint survey on Tuesday after which it was decided that the approach road would be built near DAV School grounds.
“A meeting with different stakeholders was held. The proposal to construct the road near DAV School grounds was discussed. A DPR will be prepared,” Dayanand said.
Once ready, the extension will make commuting easier for residents of Barmasia, Manaitand, Purana Bazaar, Joraphatak, Gandhinagar, Dhansar, Bastacola, Bhagadih, Ena Islampur, Jharia, Baniahir, Bhaga, Phusbunglow, Digwadih, Patherdih, Sudamdih, Bhowra, Chasnala and Sindri, who have to cross the congested Bank More bridge to reach the main station.
On an average, Dhanbad station, which was granted A1 status on August 21, witnesses a daily footfall of more than 20,000 passengers across its seven platforms. A roundabout with six-lanes leading to it is also coming up at the main station. There will be separate lanes for autos, taxis, private vehicles and VIP vehicles. Only, bitumen-laying work is pending, which is likely to resume after monsoon.
The tender process for setting up a food plaza has also been completed. Construction of a fast food unit is nearing completion. An escalator is also being installed on platforms 2 and 3.

Web site says to use version 1.10.0 but that version requires Mac OS 10.5 to run the installer. So I'm trying to use 1.9.9. It fails to start with error message: Failed to load font "index". I can post the full log file later tonight. Any ideas? I really think it'd be cool to get this working on this old machine. I'm trying to setup multiple machines for multiplayer. I have several Linux machines which run it fine. If I could get this Mac working that would make 4 for multiplayer.
It’s been a while since I booted my PowerBook G4 so I can’t unfortunately verify which of the old versions would work for you.
Thinking back to the time I was developing Doomsday on the G4, I would recommend trying the 1.9.0-beta releases.

Female zucchini flowers are sold with baby zucchini attached. For this pasta, we've separated the two elements and treated each one differently - the crisp fried blossom contrasts beautifully with the raw baby zucchini. Serve the pasta hot or at room temperature.
Detach zucchini flowers from baby zucchini. Tear flowers in half and thinly slice baby zucchini into rounds, then set aside.
Heat oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat, add zucchini flowers and cook until crisp (2-3 minutes), remove with a slotted spoon, drain on absorbent paper and set aside. Add garlic and onion to oil, sauté until tender (2-3 minutes), remove from heat, add lemon rind and juice, season to taste and set aside.
Meanwhile, cook pasta in a large saucepan of boiling salted water until al dente (6-7 minutes), drain (reserve 2 tbsp pasta water). Return pasta and reserved pasta water to pan, add onion mixture, mint, pecorino and zucchini, season to taste and toss to combine. Serve scattered with zucchini flowers and extra pecorino.

Several courageous and determined Dreamers crossed the border into Mexico and are currently planning to reenter the United States with other deported people.
On Monday, parents of undocumented students and advocates gathered at the Federal Plaza around noon to protest the Obama administration for the thousands of families affected by deportations. “Sometimes in life you have to stop what you are doing because there is a small engine failure and needs your labor, so we stop our goals, our dreams, but we never stop time, we fight in order to move on,” said Martinez’s mother Maria Martinez.
The students’ decision to cross the border into Mexico was made to raise awareness of the 1.7 million people who have been deported under President Barack Obama. The move also proves to be a fickle one as they intend to test Obama’s current immigration policy.
Mateo, one of the three who crossed, wrote a blog piece published by The Huffington Post on Monday, where she explained why she made the trip to Mexico. “If immigration reform passes, we cannot leave out the millions of people whose families have been separated by deportation. They deserve to be home, and if we win, they may come home soon. They deserve not to be forgotten. They deserve a pathway home, and Congress should create it right away.” Mateo has been living in California for the past 15 years before deciding to go back to Mexico.
This action calling on the Obama administration to allow Dreamers to return to the U.S. comes at a time when the House is debating how to reform the nation’s immigration system and address the 11 million undocumented immigrants currently living in the U.S.

As a society, we never hesitate to jump at an opportunity to make a negative example out of celebrities.
As an office full of self-proclaimed optimists, we at My Pink Lawyer® could not miss an opportunity to make a positive example out of a celebrity for a change.
You likely remember Luke Perry from his role on Beverly Hills 90210.
Unfortunately, he passed away from a serious stroke at just 52 years old on March 4th.
Five days after the initial stroke, his family made the decision to remove him from life support after it became apparent that he would not recover.
The fact that the hospital allowed Perry’s family to make the choice to remove him from life support means that he likely had the proper legal documents in place beforehand.
In Florida, Advanced Healthcare Directives, including a Living Will and Designation of Healthcare Surrogate, document your wishes if an unfortunate event such as this occurs.
Detailing your wishes regarding life support can be accomplished through a Living Will.
A Living Will contemplates the occurrence of a terminal condition, end-stage condition, or persistent vegetative state (with definitions of each for clarity).
It allows you to tell your family, in writing, what you would have them do, and requires two physicians to make the determination that there is no reasonable medical probability of recovery.
A Designation of Health Care Surrogate allows whomever specified to access health information and to make health care decisions on your behalf.
We also offer a document to our more meticulous clients called Five Wishes which allows for the client to contemplate and document his or her wishes in a variety of very specific instances.
We include these documents in our estate planning packages – all of which are quoted on a flat fee, per case basis during the initial consultation. Click the button below if you are a Florida resident and ready to preplan your medical directives now.
Thankfully, Mr. Perry had the foresight to execute these documents beforehand and save his family from further distress and heartbreak in an already emotional time.
Without the aforementioned documents, his family may have needed a court order to terminate life support in the event that they were not all in agreement.
Luke Perry’s death highlights the importance of not waiting until you’re “old” to do your estate planning.
Not only was Luke Perry handsome, but smart, too.

Ah, to be timely. If you're local, this pertains especially to you, so pay close attention!
Seeing as it just so happens that in just a matter of hours this here band'll be in town this very evening (Comet Ping Pong, along with Thee Lolitas and Ttotals), I figured it was a great time to talk a little bit about Harsh Vibes. Coming from Philly, the relatively new outfit (not yet three years old) has been churning out some wicked, intense psych rock.
That they cite Black Sabbath, My Bloody Valentine, and Spacemen 3 as influences hints at the noise you'll hear, but that's only the beginning. The band's sound is expansive and then some, undulating with shadows and full of shattering soundwaves eardrums will both love and hate. Theirs is not the pill you swallow to wake from your dreams, instead it's the other pill, full of endless rabbitholes and all manner of mischief and mishaps.
To say that I'm excited to see them in action is definitely the understatement of the day.
