Episode 337 - Disaster Of Disguise!
The scene opens on a very exhausted Roselia. It then pans out to show that a battle is going on between Drew and a mysterious trainer garbed in black and wearing a Dusclops mask. Next to him is his actual Dusclops. They are in some sort of canyon where people dump their trash near Verdanturf City. The trainer laughs a bit at Drew's nervousness. He then remarks that he expected better from a talented Pokemon Coordinator.
Meanwhile, Ash and co have arrived at the Verdanturf Pokemon Center. As they walk inside, Max notices Drew talking with Nurse Joy as Chansey holds a stretcher. Ash and co approach to say there hellos, and Drew calmly welcomes them. Brock asks if he plans to compete in the Verdanturf contest as well, but he informs them that he has dropped from the competition. Everyone is shocked by this, but they soon realize why he chose to quit. Nurse Joy holds Drew's very weak Roselia in her arms. May asks what happened to it and Drew explains that it was massacred in a battle he recently had. As he turns to leave, he tells May to watch out for a trainer wearing a Dusclops mask. He informs her that the trainer goes by the nickname "The Phantom Masked Coordinator". May seems in shock, but Drew leaves the center before she can form a follow up question.
Outside, May seems more confident then ever. She informs her friends that no "Masked Coordinator" is going to stop her, and Ash remarks about how tough he seems and how great it would be to battle him. Team Rocket is also nearby planning their next move. It turns out Jessie wants to compete in the contest with her Dustox again. James thinks it’s a waste of time after what happened last time, but Jessie assures them that she'll win this time. As she explains her plans, James drifts off and notices the twerps close by.
May releases Skitty from its Pokeball to find the cat chasing its tail. She informs it that they have to practice harder for the contest now, and Skitty begins to pay attention. She then tells it to practice blizzard. Skitty leaps into the air and launches the attack, but its aim is a little off and it manages to cover Ash and co in a small snowstorm. May yells for it to stop and it immediately shuts its mouth. May is a little more than annoyed by this, and exclaims that blizzard works fine.
She then changes to appeal practice and tries to have Skitty juggle the balls like Ayane taught it. Skitty readies its tail and May tosses the first ball. Skitty juggles it fine and May adds the second ball. After Skitty gets the hang of juggling two, May tosses the third. Skitty manages to juggle it as well and May seems happy. Suddenly, one ball falls and the rest soon follow. May is now annoyed, but she tells Skitty to try again.
Team Rocket spy on this scene from behind a trash can and Jessie remarks that she can beat May's act easily. A few feet behind them another young boy is watching May. Meanwhile, Skitty has gotten the hang of balancing three balls. May then tosses two more in and Skitty manages to juggle every one of them! May is so happy and tells Skitty to try a spin now. It does so happily, but topples over and falls down.
Suddenly, the black petal whirlwind from before starts to brew and the Masked Coordinator appears. He mocks May's ambition and exclaims that he will be the one to win the contest. May recognizes him as the "Phantom Masked Coordinator" that Drew was talking about. Ash immediately introduces himself and asks the trainer for a match. Team Rocket wonders who the heck this guy thinks he is. The Phantom Coordinator explains to Ash about his miraculous battling skills, and then informs the group that he has won many contests. Brock wonders how he did it, but Ash interrupts still wanting a match. The coordinator then accepts.
Ash says he'll be using Pikachu. The Masked Coordinator sends out his Dusclops. Ash scans it with the dex, and then has Pikachu rush in for a quick attack. When it connects, Ash realizes that it didn't even affect the Pokemon. Max warns Ash that Dusclops is a ghost type and so normal attacks won't work. Dusclops then sends a barrage of shadow punches at Pikachu, easily striking it with each attack. Ash tells Pikachu to get away as Max comments on how bad this looks.
As the Masked Coordinator prepares to have his Pokemon finish off Pikachu, a black limo suddenly speeds down the road beeping like mad. The Masked Coordinator seems scared by this and immediately recalls his Dusclops. Brock asks what he's doing, but the coordinator just laughs and vanishes in a whirlwind of black petals. The limo doors open and a very plump rich woman leaps out yelling like mad. She notices the Masked Coordinator fleeing and rushes to catch him. The Coordinator runs as fast as he can to escape the bulbous woman, but a tree branch cuts his glove and he stops to examine the cut it made on his hand.
The woman makes it to him telling him to stop, but he rushes off again. She tries to follow, but trips over her fatness and smashes to the ground. She weakly grabs a pencil with a Pokeball tip from the ground as she does. As Ash and co rush to the scene, she immediately recognizes the object. Ash asks her what the problem is, and she turns to eat…I mean greet them. It turns out her greetings consist of yelling and screaming because she begins to interrogate them. She demands that they tell her who the masked trainer was, as she has reason to believe it is her son Kimamaro. When Ash and co stare back dumbfounded, she lunges for Ash and begins to shake him demanding for him to let it out.
Brock nervously tells her that they don't know anything and are just trainers. May then adds in that she is here to compete in the contest. The fat woman immediately stops shaking Ash and sets him down. She laughs at her mistake and introduces herself as Kimiyo. Brock then asks her about her son and with tears in her eyes she explains what happened. She informs the group that Kimamaro has been acting strange lately, and so she hired someone to spy on him. She then explains that the man spent days watching her son and now has reason to believe that he is in fact the fabled "Phantom Masked Coordinator" that has just started plaguing the town. She ends by saying she needs to put a stop to it before he begins to like Pokemon and leaves her.
She then asks Ash if he's a Pokemon trainer and he tells her that he is. She immediately lunges at him again and begins to ask questions about the Phantom Coordinator. Ash tells her that he can't quite think when his shoulder is gripped so hard. Meanwhile, Team Rocket is spying on the scene from the bushes. James wonders why Kimamaro would want to have a secret identity, but Jessie thinks it’s a good idea. She has a vision of herself in a skimpy purple outfit with feathers and says she would like to be known as "The Beautiful Coordinator". James and Meowth sigh as Wobbuffet joins the party.
Kimiyo then takes Ash and co back to her mansion to see is Ash can identify her son as the trainer he faced. She calls for him as they enter the lobby. Upstairs, Kimamaro bandages his wound as he looks up Drew in the Pokemon Coordinator Magazine he has. He then fishes in his pocket for the pencil to write down that he defeated him, but he can't seem to find it. Kimiyo then gets annoyed and yells for him to come downstairs immediately.
Kimamaro shyly enters the room and greets his mother. She introduces him to Ash and co and asks her son if he knows these trainers. Kimamaro says he has never met them and then proceeds to say he's busy. As he turns to leave, Kimiyo stops him and shows him the pen she found. He is shocked at her find and even more shocked when she towers above him telling him to admit to his secret identity. Kimamaro insists that it was just a coincidence as the pencil doesn't belong to him. Ash and co watch this scene as if she's a child abuser.
As Kimiyo continues to interrogate her son, she soon notices the bandage on his hand. Within seconds her huge arm grabs his and she begins to question him on what happened. He tells her that he just hurt himself and breaks free. She watches in shock as he runs from the room. The group then follows her to the living room. She sits down and informs them that she feels horrible for what she's doing to her son, but this whole Phantom business really has her upset. Ash then asks Kimiyo if her son is a trainer of a coordinator, but she immediately lunges at him.
Ash is once again shaken as she tells him that she would never allow her son to become involved with Pokemon as she hates them. Brock doesn't seem to like her view and says she needs to tone it down. She then points her finger at him saying for all she knows he could be the phantom. As everyone stares, she storms out of the room. Max is a little frightened by being yelled at by a cow, and May suggests they leave so she can practice for the contest some more.
Ash agrees and turns to get up but suddenly comes in contact with a depressed man sipping tea. Ash asks who he is and he introduces himself as Kimamaro's father Tamuramamo. The group immediately freaks out, thinking he'll be just like Kimiyo, but he informs them otherwise. He leads the group into his study where he opens a drawer and takes out the same mask and cape that the Phantom Masked Coordinator wears. He then explains to the group that he loves Pokemon as much as his son and was once a coordinator as well. Ash and co ask what happened and he begins to explain it to them.
Years ago, when Kimiyo was thin, he fell deeply in love with her. They did everything together, but he never really explained to him about being a coordinator. It was one day when they were in his garden that she saw a Torchic and began to attack him for having Pokemon. Sadly, Tamuramamo told her he gave up coordinating and she then agreed to marry him. However, in the late hours of the night, Tamuramamo would continue to train his Dusclops while wearing his disguise. After a while it became hard to conceal his identity, and so he hid his disguise and never trained again.
They soon had Kimamaro, and when he was older he too got into Pokemon. Tamuramamo explains about the night Kimamaro found a lone Duskull and brought it home only to have Kimiyo tell him he can't keep it. (She must be cranky because she looks like a whale). Kimamaro took it hard, and took Duskull into an alley to cry. Soon, his father found him and apologized for his wife's behavior. He then handed Kimamaro his old phantom clothing and said that he knows how he feels. He then tells Kimamaro to keep the Duskull and train it in secret. He then adds in that he can wear the mask and disguise while competing in contests so Kimiyo never discovers who he truly is.
When the story is done, Ash and co understand what he's going through. Tamuramamo explains that he became worried when Kimiyo started suspecting something, especially since the local contest was nearing. Ash thinks he should tell Kimiyo how much he cares for Pokemon, but Tamuramamo doesn’t wish to loose his wife. Inside his room, Kimamaro sighs at his cut on his arm. The door then knocks and his father enters with Ash and co. Kimamaro freaks out thinking that they are friends of his mom, but Tamuramamo assures him that they are here to help. Ash tells Kimamaro that they have a plan to trick his mother.
Meanwhile, Kimiyo is being driven home in her limo. When it stops at a light, she looks out to see a mother giving her daughter a new Poochyena. The mother explains to the girl that she should train it hard and one day she can compete in contests! The girl can't wait to become best friends with her new Pokemon. Kimiyo feels some slight guilt by this, and sighs to herself.
Max and May are helping Skitty practice its juggling act in the front yard when Kimiyo gets home. As she steps out of her limo, the black petal whirlwind picks up and the Phantom Masked Coordinator appears on the upstairs balcony. Little does she know that it's actually Brock. May pretends to be frightened by him and Ash says he's here to cause trouble. Kimamaro and his father then rush out and Kimiyo realizes that the coordinator isn't her son. May winks at Ash as Kimiyo looks dumbfounded.
Brock continues to talk when suddenly a fishing line snags his mask. He tries to keep it on as the scene zooms up to see that Jessie and James are behind it. They say their motto from the balloon while wearing disguises and it finished with Wobbuffet smashing through the moon in the background. May yells for them to stop ruining their plan, and Kimiyo wonders what plan this is. The two release Seviper and Cacnea to aid in getting the mask. Cacnea, however, just wants to hug James.
Seviper wraps Brock cutting his arms from holding the mask. Before they can reel it off he manages to bite on the string and hold it in place. Ash tries to have Pikachu shock them, but he doesn't want to hurt Brock. James gets aggravated and has Cacnea attack, but May has Skitty use blizzard. The attack, however, just strike Brock and sends him flying. Seviper unravels and he falls to the ground. Brock lands in front of Kimiyo, and she prepares to look upon him. He manages to place the mask back on before she sees though.
As Seviper and Cacnea fall back to Earth, Ash has Pikachu use thunderbolt, shocking them and the balloon and eventually blasting them off. Brock then laughs and rushes off into the forest stumbling as he goes. Tamuramamo thinks she knows it's Brock, but she miraculously just says it’s a relief Kimamaro isn’t the coordinator. With that, she heads inside the house and shuts the door. Brock comes back asking if it's clear and they say it is. He sighs and Kimamaro thanks him for the help and says he'll be able to compete in the contest now. May then comments that she is competing in the contest tomorrow as well, and the two form a rivalry immediately. What will happen, who knows?

Discussion in 'General Education' started by NewSoCalTeacher2017, Mar 29, 2018.
Situation - Five 2nd gr. students scheduled for retention.
Task - How would you deal with this?
Action - I worked exclusively with curriculum materials for under achieving students. Colloborated with 1st gr. lead teacher for tutoring and textbooks. Met with parents & students and explained my goals & expectations. Got students & parents on board with real threat of retention.
Result - Three students brought up math & reading scores to passing level. One did not improve enough for promotion. One was already 9 yrs old., and failed twice. Can’t retain more than 2 times and 2 yrs past age.
That was a positive, result-based question/answer exchange.
Be ready for panel interviews. Common in Head Start/Pre-K. Certain districts do this as well. Sometimes they include parent board member, a current teacher, dept. chair, social worker. Bring several resumes, and be ready to leave copies.
Pan the room for something that you can connect with. (Break the ice and be brave: (“I see you’re a Bears fan! Think that last draft pick was a good move?) Points!!! Take water but no thanks to food. (Don’t want to choke on a donut or have food stuck in your teeth). Besides, while he’s getting water you can scan the room, get comfy.
Most importantly, clear your schedule. Nothing more obvious than you sweating, trying to rush outta there because—oh no, you scheduled two interviews today! Big mistake. Plan on staying later..It’s wonderful when they say, “Can you stick around a bit longer?? I want you to meet so-n-so”. Yes, yes you can!
One of the most common questions is "Why do you want to be a teacher?" My teacher education program stressed that you should never ever EVER say "Because I just love working with children." While that may be the answer, it may sound forced and generic.
One of the most difficult questions that I encountered was a question on how to deal with a difficult co-worker. The question started out: "How would you regularly communicate with parents?" My answer was that I would send out a weekly email, updating parents on what is going on in class that week. Well, the response to that was "Well, what if one of your team teachers is against this, what would you do?" I'm pretty sure I came up with some BS answer, but I'm still not sure what I would do in that situation. Luckily, I get along with my team teachers.
After going on my first dozen interviews out of college I decided to google "most common teacher interview questions" then typed out my response to each one and rehearsed them. Most importantly, I included a successful personal experience I had handling the question being asked to show I had experience and I wasn't speaking in hypothetical. It helped me to make sure I was bringing up different experiences for each question rather than getting my mind stuck on the same student for every question since it's hard to look back clearly when you're nervous and six people are all watching you. After I did this I finally started getting call backs and I felt so much more comfortable and confident sitting in that chair.
In regards to the 2nd interview, I've found all the schools I've interviewed with ask for a 2nd interview or demo lesson if there is plenty of time to fill the position. The position I have now was for a Sept start, but I interviewed in June so there was a 2nd interview. When the school is much more pressed for time it was a one-shot deal (interviews at the end of August).
Make sure you have at least two questions for them at the end of the interview too to show them that you are interested in working there, but they're also competing for you against other schools. At the very least it makes you look diligent to be thinking about different aspects of the job. Some of my go-to's were "Are parents welcome to participate in the classroom and how involved would you say parents are in the school?" and "How would you describe the relationships between staff members?" FYI, this was for K-2 positions. Whatever question I was asking I would choose a a panel member to direct it towards instead of keeping all my focus on the principal. And make sure you listen to them when they are introducing themselves so you can easily reference their names in the interview or follow-up email.
Most importantly, ask yourself if this is a place you want to work and trust that intuition!
I would think the hardest questions can be "why do you want to work at this school? or "why do you want to work for this district", but only if you have applied to a dozen schools, all that were hiring, and now you're sitting at this interview where the school is exactly like other middle / elementary / high schools, similar struggles, achievements, mission statements and nothing stands out. I would really struggle with a good answer.
When I was applying for jobs I was very specific. I want to teach alternative ed, because I wanted to teach at-risk youth, so this would be throw - away kids, expelled, in trouble with the law, etc. high struggles, big challenges, but also big rewards. And that's all I applied for (which was 4 schools in the entire state of California) So when they asked me this question, it wasn't tough at all, I really wanted to work with these kids and was willing to move anywhere, willing to leave San Diego for the Central Valley (!!!) which was a big deal and I did just that.
So to answer this tough question well, you really have to want to teach at that school because there is something specific going on there, and you must find it. Otherwise it will sound like you just need the job (that is really the case most of the time) but there will be other applicants who will say something clever, and they will probably be more memorable. So research the school. It could be their technology focus, or art, or music, or the student population, they might be piloting new program, etc.
Potential employers want to know how well you deal with conflict.
“I would ask why they question my ideas. If they ignore me or refuse to listen, I start taking notes, then bring it to supervisor. Take supervisor’s suggestions. If I still get drama, ask for a meeting with this person & supervisor. If he continues to block me, I report back to supervisor.
They want to make sure you’ll give some effort and not run crying for everything.
Or they know they have lousy staff members...want to see if you will sink or swim.
"Tell about a hardship in your life." It threw me for a loop because it verges on personal rather than professional. I mean a hardship can be financial, health-related, abuse...etc. I wasn't sure if they were looking for the most awful story or what. I honestly couldn't come up with anything at the time, and talked about how it took ten years before I finally got my teaching credential because I worked my way through school and couldn't afford to student teach without an income. Then afterward I thought that I could have told them all about suffering from fibroids, dragging myself to work everyday with serious anemia and my ultimate visit to the emergency room because I was having trouble breathing that ended up in a hysterectomy. But....that could have gotten pretty gross if I went into detail. The most irritating thing about the question was that it was in a school with a very high socioeconomic population, so "hardship" in that world probably has a much different context than in the other side of the district where many families exist below the poverty level.
Yeah, as much as you may think that’s what they want, be careful, You are strong and it’s good to know you’ve made it through some hard times.
I think they are looking for how well you bounce back. I believe you must guard your emotions...so it does’t turn into a counseling session.
I think the scenario questions can be hard because you just don't know what they're going to ask. The "What would you do if..." questions. I had one about a colleague being crabby and difficult. I said I'd bring her coffee and otherwise leave her alone, because that's the truth. I don't go fishing for people's issues. Got enough of my own! I've also gotten classroom management scenarios, data analysis scenarios, and intervention scenarios that can be difficult to answer without a context.
GREAT advice. Thank you so much for your time!!!!
It is sooooo nice to receive a personal thank-you! So much more meaningful than a "like". Don't hesitate to let us know how your job search goes.
I have seen some of those online application questions, and they can be just as difficult. You think you were filling out a passport application!
I always print out a copy, and look it over before the interview. Usually, the interviewer has your copy in front of them. If your answers are totally different from what your application says, he will start looking back and forth and question you.
Some people say, "Check yes for everything, just get your foot in the door." I think that works against you if you're not sincere. If you mark you're willing to do after school activities/clubs, don't be surprised when they ask you about it during the interview.
Maybe it's not really a hard question, but an annoying one, in that "why do you want to work here?" BECAUSE I WANT A STINKIN JOB, WHAT DO YOU THINK????
WRONG ANSWER!!! It shouldn't annoy you at all, but is definitely one that you should anticipate. If you want to be their #1 choice for the job, you need to take every opportunity to shine. Your answer to this "annoying" question has the potential to set you apart from the rest of the pack. If I were asked that question, here is how I would respond (based on actual conversations with staff members since I arrived early for the interview).
"I've spoken with several teachers (identify them by name) who unanimously expressed their enjoyment working here - they pointed out the strong school leadership, strong teamwork among the staff, supportive parents and enthusiastic students. I believe this would be a perfect fit for me and I look forward to being able to join the team!" Short, but concise. Naming the teachers that you spoke to may earn additional points, especially if the interview team follows-up by getting invaluable feedback from them about you.
Now you have the proper perspective for successful interviewing! Works for both teaching and administrative interviews.
Didn't even think about one like this. Thanks!!
I'll try to find some scenarios to help prepare me a little better. Thanks!
Make sure you have a strong beginning (problem), middle (solution) and a solid ending (results). Don’t ramble or become a comedian.
Be pleasant and delightful. Keep smiling. It ain’t over until they reach out to shake your hand. So don’t get too confident or annoyed.
Every interview I've had always asked, "Tell us what a typical day in your classroom would be like?" They want to hear about things like routine, schedule, programming and management. It took me a few tries to answer that one really well. I finally created a section in my portfolio for it and I use pictures of former students in action and schedules to walk them through my classroom environment.
When I interviewed for my current position as an instructional coach I was asked a question about budgeting at the divisional level. I answered that one honestly - "I don't know. I've never worked with a large divisional budget before and I'll need some help at first to figure that out." I didn't want to say something I couldn't back up, and I still got the job.
I don't think "Why do you want to work at this school?" has to be difficult. Put in the effort to research the school community a little and find something you connect with. Like: "Oh, I noticed you have an arts partnership with ABC Nonprofit. I was active in theater and would love to work at a school that supports creative learning." Or "I noticed PBIS posters when I came in this morning. I am PBIS trained and would love to help with that school-wide effort."
I certainly favor candidates that come in knowing something specific about my school. You SHOULD really want to be there...not just anywhere for a job.
Been There and Master Pre-K like this.
They have holes and you want to fix them!

With the right habits, anyone can become a millionaire, not just hotshot bankers, corporate CEOs and tech geniuses. There are plenty of unassuming people who, despite working regular jobs—think: janitors, secretaries and teachers—have amassed serious wealth over their lifetimes. And you’d never know it by the way they lived.
How do these undercover millionaires climb to the top? We discovered four simple habits they have in common. Follow their lead and start building your own fortune, too.
1. Live (well) below your means.
Low-key millionaires couldn’t care less about keeping up with the Joneses. “They are not attached to having the newest, the biggest or the most expensive anything,” says Certified Financial Planner Kimberly Foss, founder of Empyrion Wealth Management.
Case in point: Ronald Read, a janitor and gas station attendant in Vermont who bequeathed $8 million to his local library and hospital, had a second-hand Toyota and used safety pins to hold his tattered coat together. Grace Groner lived in a one-bedroom in Chicago and shopped at thrift stores and rummage sales, even though she’d accumulated more than $7 million. Russ Gremel, another Chicagoan, prefered oats and stew to fancy meals, drove a 25-year-old Dodge—and recently donated $2 million to the Audubon Society.
While the general rule of thumb is to save 10 to 20 percent of your income, secret millionaires put away much more—a friend of Read’s mentioned that if he earned $50, he’d save $40. Certified Financial Planner Cary Carbonaro, managing director at United Capital, suggests aiming for around 30 percent if your goal is seven digits: “The additional compounding interest will make your money grow and grow,” she says.
2. Invest early and often.
These millionaires don’t just avoid timing the market; they also reinvest their dividends. When you purchase individual stocks or funds, like exchange-traded funds, through an investment account, you have the option to take your dividend payment in cash or reinvest the proceeds into the purchase of additional shares. Reinvesting allows your money to compound more over time, giving you a greater overall return.
These millionaires don’t just avoid timing the market; they also reinvest their dividends.
3. Earn more on the side.
In addition to his day job, Donald Othmer netted extra income with his side gig as an inventor and consultant. Leonard Gigowski, a butcher in Milwaukee, earned enough from investing in his grocery store’s stock to eventually purchase a corner store, nightclub, dance studio and residential properties.
“With passive income, like real estate, you don’t have to do any work,” Carbonaro says. “Aside from maintenance and expenses, you just sit back and collect the check.” Airbnb, for example, makes it easy to add a passive income stream by renting out extra space or your entire place when you’re away.
4. Improve your financial IQ.
Read stayed in the know by reading investing news, talking with like-minded friends and seeking counsel from an advisor. Robert Morin, a librarian in New Hampshire with a $4 million estate, befriended a financial advisor who encouraged him to invest, instead of putting all of his earnings into checking and savings accounts. Brooklyn legal secretary Sylvia Bloom, who recently passed away with $8.2 million, noted the stocks her bosses invested in, then purchased the same ones (in more modest amounts) for herself.
Copy these habits by making learning about money a daily ritual: You can follow your favorite financial guru and publications on social media, or commit to reading money blogs and sites (ahem) during lunch or your commute. Then seek out a money mentor or even an accountability partner who’s working toward their own first $1 million.

I have written before that my wife and I are beer tourists. We’ll take off on a weekend day and visit breweries, new ones and familiar ones, in Madison and elsewhere. Recently we’ve visited two that made a big impression on us.
The first one is in Madison: Working Draft Beer Company, which opened in March at 1129 E. Wilson Street, across from McPike Park (formerly Central Park). It’s not just a brewery; it’s intended as a venue for artists, whether it’s providing gallery space or a venue for musical performances and poetry readings. It’s also a neighborhood gathering place. On a recent Sunday, the place was full of people of all ages, including several families. Working Draft has several long tables, so you can’t help but socialize with your fellow patrons. The sort of social vibe we found on that day is one of the things Ann and I love the most about craft-beer culture.
The second one is in Darlington, in Lafayette County. City Service Brewing is located in an old gas station right downtown on Main Street, and the building still looks very much as it did when it was built in 1931. City Service is celebrating its first birthday this month. The picture accompanying this post gives you a look at one end of the bar, which is built on top of a 1962 Lincoln Continental. The taproom is full of automotive memorabilia and a motorcycle that spent 56 years at the bottom of a lake hangs from the ceiling. (Really. If you want to know the rest of the story, you’ll have to visit and find out for yourself.) Ann tells me the ladies’ room is quite unusual, although I have to take her word for it.
Working Draft, City Service, and places like them are fun if you like to people-watch. They’re local businesses, so their success is good for the community. In the case of City Service, they preserve old or historic buildings. If you don’t consider yourself a beer drinker, or your beer of choice is fizzy, yellow, and nationally advertised, tell the bartender that. Chances are they can recommend something you’ll like that’s made only a few feet from where you’re sitting.

The joys of early Spring gardening include warm sunshine on your face and arms, blue skies, birdsong, and the scent of freshly turned soil. The temperatures are trending upward – finally – and we are all outdoors getting the yards in shape for spring. It was hard to get started in the garden this season due to heavy precipitation and very cold temperatures. It’s time to get the cold weather vegetables in, especially the peas, radishes, greens and parsley.
Leave your mulch in place until early May to protect tender plants from frost and cold nights. Address drainage issues early before you plant your annuals, shrubs or specimen trees. Be careful not to rake out or weed your perennial gardens too early.
When you want to add color to your landscape, visit Newington’s Stonehedge Landscape and Garden Center. Stonehedge is operating on our regular Spring schedule, open from 9 am to 5 pm weekdays. We have flowering trees, fruit trees, shrubs, annuals, perennials, herbs and vegetable garden staples. We have helped our customers make Connecticut a more beautiful place for about 50 years. For this month’s Garden Tips, visit our web page here.
If you have a yard that could use a little help, consider adding hardscapes to your property. The addition of a retaining wall, a stone walkway or patio are all ways to add functionality and interest. Border gardens and shrubbery enhance and soften the hardscapes as well. Our helpful staff here at Stonehedge can assist you with any sized project – large or small, we do it all. We offer design services, project planning, management, and installation for both residential and commercial customers throughout Connecticut.
We offer the highest quality landscaping services and hardscaping around. Contact Dana Woods at 860-667-1158 ext 112 for more information.

I am a man of zero fortune and fame.
But I have written a book.
Although, it is not published.
And I suppose, agents didn't like it.
But, the journey is more enjoyable than the destination.
Congrats on having written a book, having done so puts you ahead of other writers that are still working on theirs, everyones journey is different though. Would love to know the title and what it's about. What was the reason you didn't pursue publishing it?
Looking forward to learning more about you here, and seeing what you have to share with us.

We recently rented Kessler’s Shuttle Pod Mini and elektraDRIVE bundle for a short film shoot (Life & Death, Directed & Produced by XAv Rodriguez, DOP’d by Daniel Fazio, starring Keith Eyles), it’s a great piece of kit and a fun ‘toy’* so we thought we’d share our experiences of it. (*all film kit is ‘toys’ to us :). Kessler Crane based in the US make a wide range of camera supports, sliders, jib arms and accessories, they’re products are well known on the indie circuit for their build quality and professional results, it's a trusted name with great customer service. We’ve played with the Kessler Crane Philip Bloom Pocket Dollies many times (a simple straight forward slider which easily out classes anything it’s range), we knew therefore that the Shuttle Pod Mini would be good.
Easy. No instructions necessary really though a picture of what it should look like helps. All the components fit easily and snuggly, you can have the carriage built and mounted on the rails in a matter of minutes. The carriage has 16 wheels in total - 8 wheels on each side of the carriage, 4 above and 4 below each rail locking it on - it fits perfectly to the rails first time and rolls smoothly straight away. The rails are just 2 bits of 4ft long square tubing but do the job well.
Bit fiddly - instructions are definitely required! There are lots of components which need to be connected up together - on the carriage, attachments either end of the rails, tensioning the belt, motor into the belt, etc. Once you know what you’re doing its fine, the first time is a little bit more complicated, allow 10mins+ first time.
The Shuttle Pod we rented comes with the Kessler All-Terrain Outrigger Feet (http://www.kesslercrane.com/product-p/allterrain_outrigger.htm), great build quality, easy to attach but we didn’t use them – at only about 8” long (estimate) they were too short for our uses, they’re very versatile but we wanted to shoot a few feet off the ground and above. Instead we used two Manfrotto tripods to support the slider, while this takes a lot more time to set up we were able to get the heights we wanted and keep the unit sturdy. When using the slider vertically however we had to improvise using a side table, some bathroom towels to protect the table / walls and our hands to support the unit – this worked well though and results were very good. One thing I would add however there are a lot of Kessler support accessories available that are not included in the standard package which are very useful / essential for various set ups, some of the tripod mounted and vertical configurations we set up would not have been possible without having some of our own bits of kit on set already.
The carriage and components are robust and well machined, and they assemble quickly, easily and solidly, it’s a well thought out and engineered piece of kit. The only slight design flaw if any would be the end of rail fasteners are a bit too close to the dove tail belt fasteners, so sometimes you have to loosen a rail faster an 1/8th turn to be able to mount the belt fasters properly – very minor detail really. The carriage is virtually silent when it free rolls, superb! One thing we found however, unless the carriage is properly bubbled (levelled) the unit can sway a little forward and back, levelling it correctly seems to eliminate this - we did have a medium size camera with heavy lense on it.
Build quality is great, being a box of electronics with a screen, buttons and joystick it’s build to last, it’s not as fragile as you would expect from such a device. The motor likewise was solid, however it has a really short Ethernet cable connection – an extension cable (supplied in our rental kit) was definitely useful. The drive belt appears as toughened rubber but we’re guessing is reinforced very sturdily – we has the unit vertical with a C300 + pro lenses, although it stretched slightly in this position we had confidence it would not snap. That said, with £13,000 of kit on it we did make sure we placed a hand directly underneath the camera at all times just in case as the entire weight of camera, lense and carriage was going through the slim belt!
This is a very versatile controller with a lot of options, perhaps too many!? We just required a basic set up - to be able to control speed and damping (the amount of time it takes to get to full speed / to rest for smooth start stops). Fortunately this located at the top of the menu system, however as the screen is old skool style which makes navigating to the uninitiated confusing – when we accidently got lost we just unplugged the power cable and back in again which reboots it. We didn’t try programming it to do anything fancy (timelapse, programming buttons, etc), that would involve reading the very long manual and wasn’t what we were after. Instead jump on Kessler website and check out the excellent videos on it, this should give you enough info to get you up and running. For power, the Oracle Controller (which also powers the motor) comes with a mains plug unit and large, heavy battery in a padded case – we opted for the battery for the shoot as it would be easier to move around, through the shoot we never ran out of charge and the battery weight / size was never an issue.
This is what it’s all about, any slider worth its weight in gold MUST have silky smooth motion and full control of the tiniest minutae, without judder or uneven speed changes – and this set up does this perfectly! Simply push the joystick one way or the other and great shots come out the other end, it does not disappoint. You can control the speed, damping and much more, you can get it to do easily and controllably what you want and elegantly so. We like! That said, when positioning the Shuttle Pod vertically (are we even supposed to do this!?) sometimes it didn’t like this and we would get the occasional judder at similar intervals which ruined the shot – perhaps the bit of stretch in the belt means the teeth don’t line up perfectly under vertical conditions, we were unable to pin the cause down specifically given our busy shoot days however usually fiddling with the belt tension and re-sitting the motor sorted it back to super smooth.
Impressive! These motors are available from Kessler in different speed / torque gearing guises, the standard ones are Series 100, 200, 500 (500 being the torquiest and slowest, there’s also two speciality motors at either end of the spectrum, a 50 and a 1000). We had the 500 series motor, don’t be fooled by its appearance (size and shape of a bicycle handle) it packs a lot of power. We had the Shuttle Pod Mini loaded with a Canon C300 and a variety of heavy pro lenses but it never struggled at all. Sure, you might think it’s a slider moving horizontally of course it won’t struggle... well we also flipped it 90 degrees to run vertically! Despite this it never struggled up or down with the weight, fully loaded. We did find however the belt / roller connection (we think) was the Achilles heal, it would judder occasionally and ruin the shot – usually a bit of belt adjustment would solve however. Speedwise, perfect for our needs, very slow to a slow medium speed, usually with these types of shots that’s exactly the speed you want. It can apparently also so micro slow speeds, like year-long timelapes. If we were to buy a unit I think we’d go for the 500 Series motor, although we havn’t tested the others. An important point to note, as you would expect it’s not silent so if using for indoor scenes the motor noise will definitely pick up on your audio.
Lots of various accessories are available for the unit such as ball heads, angled mounting brackets, etc, many of them are crucial to various setups and available as options when you buy - don’t expect everything to be in the box. It’s therefore worth thinking about how you want to use the Shuttle Pod and what accessories you will need.
The Kessler Crane Shuttle Pod Mini with Oracle Controller is a superb piece of kit for small productions and semi pro film makers, we will definitely rent one of these again, however the purchase price is too high to justify unless we were using it very often. Kessler kit tends to be expensive, the quality is absolutely there but you definitely pay for it - unfortunately this puts us off buying all but the most needed items, else we would be buying much more! Renting is certainly a sensible option. Using the Shuttle Pod Mini with a DSLR it would be fantastic, with something a little bigger and heavier like the C300 it is still excellent, however not sure we’d stick anything bigger on it... another test perhaps ;) One improvement we would suggest however is a bigger screen / better interface to aid menu navigation.
Bottom line, we love it, top quality and versatile product which adds production value for cheap rental price, 8/10!

Memories are made here in this traditional family home in Duluth, the sellers recall how the family cooked together in the spacious Chef's Kitchen. Sharing laughter and joy in the dining room or gathering in the den for fun and games. The climate-controlled sunroom is a great place to view the sunrise coming through the trees with a cup of coffee or watching their children play games in the back yard. At the end of the day take a relaxing bath in the reclaimed, antique, free standing tub in the master bathroom. Are you ready to make your own memories here?
From 1-85, go west on Old Peachtree Rd and turn right just past Parson's Elementary on Parson Ridge Ln. The home will be on the right.

Although babies lose weight after birth, breastfed babies usually regain their birth weight by two weeks of age and then should gain 150 to 250 grams a week. This measures to four to eight ounces. Weight gain may occur in “bursts” so it is best to not have the baby measured too often.

This is my new host family. By far, they are the most welcoming and loving group of people I have met in Ecuador. My 18 year-old host sister is this athletic ball of energy that monopolized my attention the first time I met her. My host brother is a jokester. My host parents, caring and understanding. I really could not have asked for a better, more down-to-earth family.
One thing that really caught my attention about this family is how they interact with each other. During mealtimes or even when one finds the other in the same room, they immediately become wholeheartedly engaged in a conversation. This might be the norm in Ecuador but in the U. S. I cannot count the number of meals I didn’t eat with my family or even when I did, everyone seemed to be in his/her own world. Therefore, witnessing the physical and mental presence this family has with each other was beyond refreshing.
When I was in the U.S. the last two years of high school were a giant source of stress. I never had time for my family. When we were together, I was always in my mind, worrying about this paper and that exam (and also boys). My parents were also preoccupied with us or their jobs.
I highly doubt the members of my family don’t have preoccupations or worries, because I think every person has his/her own problems. Accordingly, I’m amazed by their ability to set aside their anxieties and to talk and laugh as friends do. Their interaction creates a relaxed and cheerful environment. When I’m with them, I feel content just to watch and feel no pressure to engage in the conversation. But unexpectedly, I find myself talking and laughing along.
I really admire them for being such a close-knit family despite the presence of distractions of youth and technology. I regret not making time or being present with my family when I was home. But regrets are not the only thing I’ve gotten from observing this family. I’ve realized the value in making an effort to be present in each moment with those whom you love.

WEB-EXCLUSIVE: Pets are suffering along with the rest of us through this economic downturn. Learn how you can do your part in helping Orange County's homeless pets.
Marcia Leong wanted another pet for some time. She had a German shepherd mix that passed away and she missed him dearly. But she already had an elderly cat and a beagle, Chuckie. It just didn’t seem like a good time for another pet. When Leong’s cat passed way, however, she knew it was time. She wanted another German shepherd and she wanted a dog that really needed a home. Leong found nine-year-old German shepherd, Sasha, through the German Shepherd Rescue of Orange County, recommended by local animal lover and founder of Ariel Rescue Susan Davis. Sasha had been living with an elderly woman when her owner passed away. The owner's body went undiscovered for 10 days. By the time the coroner was called, Sasha was anxious and confused. She hadn’t had food or water for that time and had started eating away at the baseboards in the home out of frustration. Sasha wouldn’t let the coroner near her owner’s body.
Once at a shelter, Sasha began chewing at her own fur. Patches of her body were chewed raw. She was emaciated and losing hair. And to make things worse, no one was willing to adopt her because of her condition. The shelter placed her on its list of animals to be euthanized – which is when the German Shepherd Rescue stepped in. The first time Leong saw Sasha, she was shocked at her emaciated state – this once beautiful, strong, majestic dog was a mere 47 pounds. Sasha’s hair was thinning and Leong could see stitches from where Sasha chewed at herself. Leong gave the dog a hug and took her home.
At first, Sasha didn’t wag her tail and was distant and aloof. But after one night, Sasha’s demeanor changed for the better. And over time, Sasha became the loving, sweet, playful dog she once was and Leong’s new best friend. Stories like Sasha's are typical of what you hear at shelters and rescues. While opinions vary on how many animals are currently living in shelters, several local shelter workers say there are more animals in shelters and rescues than ever before. Since the economy's plummet, people who have lost their jobs and homes have lost their pets as well.
Over the years, Davis has noticed that summer is often a busy time for shelters and rescues as people go on vacations and either cannot afford or don’t want to pay the boarding fees for their pets – so they give them up instead. But summer 2010 seemed to be worse than any other, she says. On top of the high number of pets being given up for adoption, there also aren’t many people adopting pets. It used to take about one to two weeks for a dog to be adopted from Ariel Rescue, now it is taking about two months, sometimes even longer. In terms of pet shopping, it’s a buyers market: There are plenty of purebreds, puppies and kittens at shelters and rescues, which wasn’t the case in the past. A few years ago, people would line up early at local shelters to get first pick. These days, people line up to relinquish their pets. There are more animals being turned away at shelters and rescues than ever before and more pets in need of loving homes than ever before.
Donate money directly to a rescue. Rescues, like all nonprofits are hurting. Each pet they save costs them hundreds of dollars. They have to make sure the animal is fixed, up to date on its shots, healthy, and ready to go to a home. Any amount of money can help save an animal’s life.
Attend a pet rescue fundraiser. Ariel Rescue is having a holistic pet care seminar on Saturday, September 25, 2010. All proceeds will go to benefit homeless pets. e-mail support@askariel.com. Ask your vet or local shelter for information about more upcoming events at local shelters and rescues.
Spay or neuter your pet. Overpopulation is a huge problem within the pet community. If everyone spayed and neutered their pets, there would be a much lower number of animals in shelters and rescues, which means there would be more pets in loving homes and less on the streets.
Become a foster parent. Many rescues are in need of volunteers or foster parents to help take care of the animals they rescue. If you want a pet but aren’t sure you are ready to commit to one full time, volunteering with a rescue is a good way to test the waters of pet parenthood.
Adopt. With the high number of puppies and healthy, well-trained pets at local shelters and rescues, it is the perfect time to adopt a great pet at a low price. You will be saving a life and your pet will thank you for it for the rest of his or her life.
Commit. Many people get a pet not realizing the commitment it entails. Make sure when you get an animal that you are committing to it for the length of his/her life.Ensure your pet has a way to get back home. Many animals end up in shelters simply because they don’t have tags or microchips. Last year alone, the Orange County Animal Shelter reunited 4,000 lost dogs and 250 cats with the help of tags and microchips.

To effectively use PGP encryption and decryption with Robo-FTP, you must first have a basic understanding of how PGP works in general. This quick intro should be enough to get you started, but it is recommended that you look to the many excellent resources available on the web for a more in-depth explanation.
This is all achieved using a scheme commonly referred to as "public key encryption." To have somebody encrypt files in such a way that only you can decrypt them, you must first create a key pair. This key pair is made up of a public key and a private key. You keep the private key to yourself -- nobody else should ever have access to this. You distribute your public key to anybody you would like to be able to encrypt files for you to read.
Let's say that you need to encrypt a file and upload it to a bank's FTP server. The bank needs to first give you their public key. You can then encrypt the file with this public key. The encrypted file can only be decrypted by somebody who has access to the matching private key.
Sound simple? It is. There is more to the story, but this is all the background you need to get started.
NOTE: This tutorial was written for Robo-FTP 3.10.x. The steps involved may vary for older or newer versions.
You must create a key pair if you wish to have anybody encrypt files so that you (and only you) can decrypt them. If you already have a key pair (perhaps from using another PGP program) then you may wish to skip this section and take a look at Importing a Key Pair. Once you have completed these steps to create a key pair you will need to follow these steps to export your public key.
Launch the Robo-FTP Configurator (Start | All Programs | Robo-FTP 3.10 | 3.10 Configurator) and click the 'PGP Keys' tab.
Click the 'Create Key' button.
You must enter a User Name. The email address and comment fields are optional.
Enter a Passphrase and verify it.
Check the 'Save Passphrase' box so you can use it without specifying it in your script (for added security).
Click 'OK' to create the keyring and add the key-pair to this keyring.
If you already have a key pair (perhaps from using another PGP program) then you may import this key pair into Robo-FTP. First, you must export the key pair (presumably using the same program you used to create the key pair).
Click the 'Import Key' button.
Browse to the folder where your exported PGP key file is located.
Select the file and click 'OK'.
Your key should now be imported and ready to use.
If you wish to encrypt files so that the recipient (and only the recipient) can decrypt them, you must first import the recipient's public key. The recipient must export his public key and give you access to this file (most often as an e-mail attachment).
Browse to the folder where the public key file is located.
The key should now be imported and ready to use.
If you wish to have others encrypt files so that you (and only you) can read them, you must export your public key. You will give this public key (often as an e-mail attachment) to anybody who needs to encrypt files for you to receive.
Select the Key that you would like to export by clicking on it in the list of keys.
Select the location of the file to be exported.
The public key is now exported to a file in that specified folder.
The file will be named with the key's name with an extension of .asc (ASCII armored) or .pgp.
The exported file is automatically signed with the matching private key.
When you encrypt a file, you can optionally sign the file as well. While encrypting prevents an unauthorized person from reading the contents of a file, signing prevents anyone from modifying the contents of a file without the recipient knowing.
Before you can sign a file so that a recipient can verify that signature (and thus ensure nobody has tampered with the file), you must first create a key pair or (if you already have a key pair you created with another program) import a key pair. You must then export your public key and distribute it to anybody you wish to be able to verify the signature on files you have encrypted.
Note that the difference between this example and the previous example which only encrypts a file is the addition of the /sign option. This option tells Robo-FTP to sign the file using the default private key.
When somebody encrypts a file for you to decrypt, he or she can also sign the file. You can verify this signature to ensure that nobody has modified the file after the sender encrypted it.
By default, Robo-FTP automatically verifies the signature on an encrypted file if one exists and returns an error if that signature is not valid. You can change this behavior by adding the /signature=required option to the sample command above to tell Robo-FTP to return an error if a file has not been signed.
PGP files are packages that contain the encrypted file contents along with information about the encryption key, encryption cipher and optional details like a digital signature, timestamp and the original filename. It is common practice to name a PGP file by adding the .pgp or .gpg file extension to the end of the source file's name but the name of a PGP file does not necessarily correspond to the original filename value stored within the package.
When the PGPENCRYPT command is executed, Robo-FTP uses the original source file to create a new destination file that has the PGP package data structure described above. Likewise, when the PGPDECRYPT command is executed, Robo-FTP generates a new unencrypted destination file using data extracted from a PGP source file. If no name is specified for the new unencrypted file then Robo-FTP uses the original filename value stored within the package (if it is available).
PGP operations performed by Robo-FTP do not modify or remove the source file.

Bought this wire for my ESAB EM215, my first MIG machine. Wire flows smoothly, no birds nests, and welds beautifully. This stuff makes me look good!
Although Mistakes Happen The Wire I Recieved Looked Great.
I've been purchasing Lincoln wire for 15 years out of habit because I have a Lincoln welder. I thought I'd give this wire a try and I'm shocked at how superior it is. I'll definitely be ordering more.
I have been using this wire in both a Miller 115 and a Hobart Handler 140 for several years. It has always fed well and welded very nicely on steel tubing.

When you are focused on a problem you can push the solution away. Divert your attention from the problem. When you forget the problem and are refreshed emotionally the solution will be more apparent. Ideas and intuitions will come to you from within.
When you create the right magical state of mind solutions that were not apparent become apparent. You may feel an impulse to do something. Impulses come from your inner self. Impulses are there to direct you to a solution. Trust them and see where they lead. Sometimes the solution comes in a way we wouldn’t normally expect it to.
We are scripted to think in one way when we need to think another way. We believe our egos alone must solve all our problems. This is a misconception that leads to repeating problems.
The ego is not an all-powerful god that can solve all problems. When it is used as if it were, all sorts of problems and frustrations arise.
Photo by: Samuel Ferrara. Click on image to enlarge.
The ego cannot solve your problems, you MUST rely on your inner self. You MUST learn to approach life differently than you were programmed to.
When you fight issues or struggle against them they tend to get the best of you. This is because whatever you focus on grows. By focusing on what you do not want you give it added energy. If you are emotional you amplify its power exponentially.
The only way out is to stop thinking about what you do not want to have happen. You must think and feel what you want into existence. You just make this the one rule of life that you do not break. This is the only approach that works.
Focus on what you want and anything and everything positive & refreshing.
What would happen if you failed to stop your negative emotional reactions? If you entertain fear, frustration, negative emotions and stay in a state of struggle, resistance and impatience, you will create what you fear most.
Those most feared situations would re-exert themselves and you’d be right back in the quagmire nightmare. Imagine you are in that future now. Imagine that you are in exactly the situation you fear most. How do you feel? What is your life like? What are your regrets? How does it feel to be stuck in the unwanted life? Feel the pain of not having your freedom, money, love and all that you value most.
Now do the opposite. Describe or think about the life you would be living if you stopped all the negative thinking.
If you let go of the improper focus, struggle and frustration, your dreams will come true. The glorious dream will come into existence because you will no longer be working against your inner self.
Co-creation or Conscious Creation is an approach. You must change the way you automatically and habitually approach life. Change the way you achieve your goals and dreams.
There are rules that apply. There is one Holy-grail, that if you break, nothing else you do will help you. You must be adamant and persistent in maintaining only the beliefs, thoughts and emotions that will generate what you want. This means no matter what. You can’t think your ego or work can get you what you want and at the same time fail to apply the Holy-grail of metaphysics.
If you find a way to stop the negative thinking you will no longer be blocking the inner self. You are actually better off doing nothing than working incessantly to solve problems if that working is throwing you off balance and into negative thoughts and feelings.
You must realize how powerful peace of mind is. Enjoying the evening or a favorite pastime may seem idle and counter-productive, but it can be powerful. We have been taught that the ego’s demands and work are the only ways to solve our problems. This misconception is exactly what generates frustration and pain. That frustration and pain is the reason this approach doesn’t work.
Think deeply about the scenario of your complete and total success. Imagine how you will soar to the heights. How will you feel at having achieved all your objectives? Place yourself in that future.
Focus on the difference between how you feel in that future and the previously imagined one in which you fail. This effort can help you to change your negative thinking.
You can also use techniques to stop negative thoughts and feelings. You can slap your cheek and say special words, like wake-up, or snap out of it. You can create a special trigger phrase, or outrageous, silly or off-the-wall body action.
You have seen a dog shake water off. You want to find a way that works for you to shake off all that cruddy and unwanted thinking and emotions. You’ve got to do it because you lose ground fast for every minute you delay snapping out of it.
Positive energies that have built up within your psyche that work for your goals are diverted and released when you allow a negative state of mind to continue.
You must devise preset methods to have on hand and to use instinctively when negative thoughts and emotions come up. Think about what you wouldn’t have and where you wouldn’t go if you didn’t snap out of it, and then conjure up what your life will become if you don’t snap out of it and fast. Then flip into the opposite and productive thinking that pre-living the dream evokes in you. Use a statement or action tool to flip into the positive.
And once in the positive, amplify it and hold the pattern. You may want to devise methods of amplifying and holding the positive. Certain activities can do it.
Sometimes we need to only get rid of the negative thinking and then relax and watch TV or take a walk. When the mind is blank and at peace the inner self is able to do its work.
If you are a true metaphysician, you know that real work is done on inner levels when nothing seems to be happening on the surface. You don’t try to do it all with your ego ruling over you like a dictator. Being a slave to the ego and its work-demands only leads to frustration. Thinking the ego must somehow figure it all out on its own and do all the work to make goals happen only leads to impatience and failure to make those goals happen. It can even lead to bouts of paranoia and fear.
This is a hands-on universe and you do need to go out and make things happen. But you cannot make what you want a reality if you follow the old script. The new script tells you that staying positive is a priority. That’s your Holy-grail. You know that you can trust your inner self to create synchronistic events and bring all that you want into existence.
With this approach you can relax and not even worry about how you are going to pay the bills. Then you follow the flow and your natural impulses and desires. You work as you are inspired, and you take breaks and rest when you feel that is what you need. The rest will refocus you and allow your intuition to receive and transmit insights to you that will keep you inspired and on-track.
When you follow this approach what you need tends to show up.
Fill your mind with the pleasurable emotions of a life laden with all that you desire and keep yourself in that mental-emotional space and then watch the magic happen.

For the man of Truth, seeking experience of the supreme state, the heroic action needed, is to draw in, the outward darting mind, and fix it firmly in the Heart.
Don't meditate at intervals. Abide without a break of steady Self-awareness. Instead of plucking hair after itching hair of thought, better shave the whole scalp clean.
If the mind turned outward and distracted, starts observing its own being, alienation ends, and the vestige ego, merges in the light of true Awareness, shining in the heart.
O mind, you wander far in search of bliss, not knowing your natural state of freedom. You will regain your home of infinite bliss, only if you go back the way you came.
Those who have sunk within their own inner selves to dwell as pure knowledge, so that their infatuation with worthless desires is abolished, will, through holy silence, establish the fulfillment of the real within their own selves. This practice of meditation upon consciousness itself is the true way.
None can confront and overcome the mind. Ignore it, then, as something false, unreal. Know the Self as the real ground and stand firm-rooted in it.
Losing false ego is awareness.
The ego image moves reflected in the mind's waves. How to stop this movement, how to regain the state of stillness? Don't observe these movements, seek the Self, instead. It is wisdom to gain and abide in silence.
Not like a boat's sail, outspread wide and worn away by wind and weather, but like the humble anchor, sunk in the vast ocean's depth, the mind should plunge and settle in the heart of wisdom.
Only a one-pointed mind, turned inward, succeeds in Self-inquiry. Weak, faltering minds, like green banana trees, are not fit fuel to feed this fire.
He who has vanquished thought, only he sits like an emperor on the neck of the majestic elephant, knowledge. Know for certain that the mind's movements alone give rise to birth and every cruel pain and sorrow.
When the ego, shaking off all tricky concepts, finally merges in the silence of the Heart, the fullness of blissful, bright Self-Awareness, this is what the sages call transcendent speech.
