Richard Coraine; Co-founder of Union Square Hospitality Group
Richard Coraine, co-founder of Union Square Hospitality Group which owns restaurants like Shake Shack and Union Square Cafe, shares his knowledge with aspiring entrepreneurs.
*Please note that some of Coraine's responses are paraphrased*
What do you currently do with USHG, and how has your role shifted with Covid-19?
You first have to look at where I was before: I am a co-founder of the company with Danny Meyers. From 1996 to now I have been the COO of the company for over a decade, I have been the head of business development for a while, and I have been chief of staff; one of the decisions we made a year ago was to grow and scale with purpose (this is all pre-covid). We decided to hire someone (to act as president) with a lot of experience in larger organizations that knew how to scale businesses; once we decided this, it was again time for my role to change because we didn't really need a chief of staff anymore. We needed somebody that was contributing as a founder with a focus on high level strategic planning.
We want to give the president a lot of autonomy to actually run the company, so in order to not cloud things, I changed my title to senior advisor which pretty much means working on strategy and helping Danny Meyers (the CEO). If we would have talked a year and a half ago, I would have said my role as chief of staff is to make sure the connectivity between Danny and the C-level is always fostering excellence. But, because we chose to hire a president, we have now chosen to modify my role. Currently, my role is primarily with the C-sweet people, and a lot of working with Danny on his strategy (we go back like 25 years). It is about strategic growth and leadership; I also handle things that don't have a "natural home" like vetting different businesses trying to make deals with us. So, my role is a composite of many different things.
During Covid, the decision making process has changed because we are making different decisions then we have ever had to make before. In the past it might have been deciding what direction we want to go and deciding what we need to get there (capital, people, brand, etc.), and it was a very proactive sort of mechanism. Now the decisions, for a good six months, were reactive which is "what is the world telling us?" It was telling us that we all need to go inside because the city is telling us to stay inside, and we can't open our restaurants. Reacting to this is asking questions like should we close, should we do delivery, and ultimately what should we do. The decisions become reactively proactive. What I tell people is we have optimism right now, and so it is "what are we able to do?" Contained in all of this is no restaurants are open, so we can't have 3,500 employees because there is no work to do - how many do we need to furlough? What do we actually need for this month? We want to be able to be in the arena when the world starts to turn for the better.
We are making different decisions than ever before - most of them are reactive right now but we are trying to get to a proactive place.
How do your title changes impact how your mentality and how you interact with the company?
In 1996 when we started the company, Danny said "we're going to do great things," and I said "count me in." I promised to do anything we need at any time to make this successful - and I meant it. 25 years later, this is still what I am doing. I have had the professional confidence to say "my job is to be Danny Meyer's partner." Included in that is making burgers the first day that Shake Shack opened to giving speeches to the entire company the day after 9/11. Everything in between that is doing whatever I need to be doing.
I have never had the self-image problem of "what is the world going to think of me if I go from COO to business development." Because I made that commitment to Danny and myself 25 years ago, it's never been "what the world is going to think of me;" it has always been "I am going to do anything to make us successful including washing the dishes if the dishwasher calls in sick." If someone said "here's what needs to be done," I am going to do it. I have seen people come and go within the industry and in the company where people say "I need a title;" I don't need a title because I am not seeking power, I have already had it. I have been the COO: the whole company has already reported to me. What's important is that people see me as having no other agenda besides making the company successful. That's why when we changed the organization chart 4 months ago, I am the one that said I need to change my title so we don't send a mixed message; I don't want to cloud the CEOs decision making where people think I am really the person you go to.
I can go around the company and people know me as the founder of the company. I am an outlier, I don't need an office - I have a cubicle because I am going out and about all the time.

Kanye West lists famous Wyoming ranch, business properties for sale: report
LA's luxury real estate market remains red-hot: Josh Flagg
'Million Dollar Listing' star breaks down California's housing market on 'The Claman Countdown'
Kanye West is getting out of Dodge.
The rapper-producer and fashion mogul, who has spent a fair portion of his time at his Wyoming ranch, has put the property as well as other business holdings in northwestern Wyoming up for sale, according to a report from the Cody Enterprise.
The West Ranch, formerly known as Monster Lake Ranch, went on the market on Monday for $11 million.
The property is located outside the town of Cody – population around 10,000 – and spans across six square miles of open land and tree-studded hills.
KISS BASSIST GENE SIMMONS SELLS LOS ANGELES HOME FOR $16 MILLION

West bought the ranch in 2019, reportedly at a discount from the nearly $14 million asking price. Wyoming law does not provide for public disclosure of real estate sale amounts.
The property had eight lodging units, a restaurant, an event center and a space for meetings when West bought it in 2019. The majestic farmland also has lakes as well as barns and corrals for horses.
The ranch also features a go-kart track, according to the DBW Realty listing.

At one point, West had even planned to erect an amphitheater on the grounds.
West owns half of Monster Lake Ranch's acreage and leases the other half from the federal government.
The Cody Enterprise previously reported that West has also listed seven commercial properties in the area for more than $3.2 million.
West moved from California to Wyoming in 2019 and set about basing at least some of his clothing business out of Cody, a city of about 10,000 on the eastern approach to Yellowstone National Park.
KIM KARDASHIAN, KANYE WEST BUY $14M PROPERTY IN WYOMING
West had used the property as a creative hideaway and incubator for collaboration. He hosted album listening sessions on the acreage estate and was also visited by the likes of Justin Bieber, Dave Chappelle and a slew of others in the time since he purchased the expansive abode.
He also filmed his music video for "Follow God" at the ranch in the thick of winter.
West, 44, filed this year to legally change his name to his nickname, Ye. The rapper is currently in the middle of a divorce from Kim Kardashian West. The couple has four children.
A rep for West did not immediately respond to FOX Business' request for comment.

WHEN PRESIDENT George Manneh Weah declared his assets in June 2018, six months after he was expected to do so, many felt his declaration was belated and the blatant delay signaled his unwillingness to stand strong against corruption.
THE PRESIDENT was even more criticized for failing to publish his asset declaration forms after he finally filed it with the General Auditing Commission (GAC) which then passed it on to the Liberia Anti-Corruption Commission.
THE PRINCIPAL GOAL of income and asset disclosure systems is to combat corruption and promote transparency.
WHEN THE WEAH-LED administration came into being, Liberians in general were already weary of the mass exploitation that occurred during the previous regime. At some point in time, ex-president Ellen Johnson Sirleaf admitting to the toughness in fighting corruption branded the menace as a 'monster'.
HOPES WERE very high and renewed that the benefits of national resources would now trickle down to the commoners, using the robust fight against corruption as one of several important steps.
ALAS, THE fight against corruption has been down played by this administration, even in the wake of mounting questions about the fast acquisition of wealth by officials of this very young government.
MORE TO THE disappointment of Liberians, President Weah has refused to make public his asset declaration forms, despite several calls for him to do so.
FRONTPAGEAFRICA strongly holds the opinion that declaring your assets and keeping it private or secret runs contrary to the spirit and intent for the asset declaration system was established.
THIS IS WHY we believe that though it is commendable for President Weah to request the Liberia Anti-Corruption Commission (LACC) to validate his asset declaration, it adds no value to the fight against corruption and the promotion of transparency when his assets, income and liabilities remain a mystery to the Liberian people.
MANY COUNTRIES have been at the forefront of efforts to design and create electronic platforms that publish information on government officials' personal assets.
SUCH PUBLIC disclosure of asset declaration also allows civil society organizations and the media to monitor the integrity of senior public officials, which leads to public pressure on those found to substantially and unjustly enrich themselves.
IRONICALLY, President Weah said LACC's renewed assurances to combat corruption is a cardinal pillar for the success of his Pro-Poor Agenda for Prosperity and Development (PAPD) which focuses on transparency and accountability in governance.
IN A RECENT exclusive interview with Atty. Samuel Kofi Woods, a former government official, he alarmed at the rate of allegations and ruthless enrichment on the part of officials of the Weah-led administration which he said needs to be looked into.
"IT'S BEEN one year now I've not seen any audit of any of the administration's officials or any ministry – and I am increasingly concerned that in spite of all the reports of alleged corruption, the government should be concerned about ensuring that the institution of government with such responsibility will do the right thing. I'm a bit disappointed with that. Assets were declared, they need to be verified. Effective now, LACC, GAC should begin a process of finding these assets and present a report to the Liberian people," Atty. Woods said.

Earnings Outlook
IPhone to claim part of Apple's earnings spotlight
By Rex Crum
RexCrum
Technology reporter
SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- One of the most anticipated tech-sector earnings reports comes on July 25, when Apple Inc. delivers its third-quarter results, with Wall Street analysts looking for a 34% rise in the iPod and Macintosh maker's earning per share.
Although the iPhone was only on sale for two days during the quarter, the device is expected to claim some of the report's spotlight.
Analysts surveyed by Thomson Financial estimate that Apple AAPL, +0.36% will earn 72 cents a share on revenue of $5.29 billion, up from 54 cents a share on $4.37 billion in sales posted in the same quarter a year ago.
As always is the case with Apple, the company's results will depend both on strong sales of its iPod media players and Macintosh computers. But even though the iPhone only went on sale with two days left in Apple's quarter, the combination iPod and mobile phone generated enough hype that its sales and inventory figures are likely to gain some attention.
Gene Munster of Piper Jaffray said in a research note that iPhone revenue "will not be material" to Apple's results this time, even if those sales approach the 500,000 units that some analysts estimate were sold during the first weekend of the iPhone's release. The analyst estimates that, at most, Apple will recognize about $12 million in sales from the iPhone.
Munster believes that with time, "the iPhone will have an even stronger halo effect than the iPod on [the] Macintosh's market share." The consensus estimate for Apple's Mac sales during the quarter is for 1.6 million units sold.
Analysts also are looking for Apple to report iPod sales of almost 10 million devices during the quarter. However, Munster said that many Apple watchers are less focused on the iPod's results, because many potential iPod buyers were focused on the iPhone in late June.

María Jiménez Gallego (* 3. Februar 1950 in Sevilla) ist eine spanische Sängerin, die in den ersten Jahren der spanischen Demokratie nach der Franco-Diktatur berühmt wurde. Zurzeit wohnt sie in Chiclana de la Frontera.

Biografie
Jiménez wurde ein Triana, einem Stadtteil von Sevilla, geboren. Ihre kleine Schwester Isabel wurde 1955 geboren. In der noch jungen Demokratie Spaniens, nach der langen Diktatur Francisco Francos, begann sie in kleineren sevillanischen Bars, wie Las Brujas zu singen. Ihre Texte passten dank der liberalen Inhalte in den damaligen Zeitgeist.

Ihre erste Tochter María del Rocío, die 1968 geboren wurde, kam bei einem Autounfall am 7. Januar 1985 mit 17 Jahren ums Leben. Am 1. Juni 1980 heiratete María Jiménez den Schauspieler Pepe Sancho in der Kirche Santa Ana in Sevilla. Am 16. Februar 1983 kam deren gemeinsamer Sohn Alejandro Asunción Martínez Jiménez zur Welt. Jiménez und Sancho ließen sich 1984 scheiden, heirateten jedoch nach dem tragischen Tod von María del Rocío wieder zwei Jahre später in Costa Rica.

Star Trek: The Animated Series is an animated science fiction television series set in the Star Trek universe following the events of Star Trek: The Original Series of the 1960s. The animated series was aired under the name Star Trek, but it has become widely known under this longer name to differentiate it from the original live-action Star Trek. The success in syndication of the original live action series and fan pressure for a Star Trek revival led to The Animated Series from 1973–1974, as the source of new adventures of the Enterprise crew, the next being the 1979 live-action feature film Star Trek: The Motion Picture. The 'TAS' series was the original cast's last episodic portrayal of the characters until the "cartoon like" graphics of the Star Trek: 25th Anniversary computer game in 1992, as well as its sequel Star Trek: Judgment Rites in 1993, both of which appeared after the cast's last movie together in 1991's Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country. TAS was the first Star Trek series to win an Emmy Award.

Laverne & Shirley
Laverne & Shirley is an American television sitcom that ran on ABC from January 27, 1976 to May 10, 1983. It starred Penny Marshall as Laverne De Fazio and Cindy Williams as Shirley Feeney, single roommates who worked as bottlecappers in a fictitious Milwaukee brewery called "Shotz Brewery."
The show was a spin-off from Happy Days, as the two lead characters were originally introduced on that series as acquaintances of Fonzie. Set in roughly the same time period, the timeline started in approximately 1958, when the series began, through 1967, when the series ended. As with Happy Days, it was made by Paramount Television, created by Garry Marshall, and executive produced by Garry Marshall, Edward K. Milkis, and Thomas L. Miller.

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine is a science fiction television series set in the Star Trek universe.
The show is set in the Milky Way galaxy, in the years 2369 – 2375. Unlike the other Star Trek TV shows, it takes place on a space station instead of a starship, so as not to have two series with starships at the same time. This made continuing story arcs and the appearance of recurring characters much more feasible. The show is noted for its well-developed characters and its original, complex plots. The series depended on darker themes, less physical exploration of space, and an emphasis on many aspects of war.
DS9 premiered in 1993 and ran for seven seasons, ending in 1999. Rooted in Gene Roddenberry's Star Trek universe, it was the first Trek spin-off created without direct involvement from Roddenberry, although he did give his blessing to the concept shortly before his death in 1991. The series was created by Rick Berman and Michael Piller, at the request of Brandon Tartikoff, and produced by Paramount Television. Key writers, in addition to Berman and Piller, included showrunner Ira Steven Behr, Robert Hewitt Wolfe, Ronald D. Moore, Peter Allan Fields, Bradley Thompson, David Weddle, Hans Beimler, and René Echevarria.

Cheers is an American sitcom television series that ran for 11 seasons from 1982 to 1993. It was produced by Charles/Burrows/Charles Productions in association with Paramount Network Television for NBC and created by the team of James Burrows, Glen Charles, and Les Charles. The show is set in a bar named Cheers in Boston, Massachusetts, where a group of locals meet to drink, relax, and socialize. The show's theme song, written and performed by Gary Portnoy, and co-written with Judy Hart Angelo, lent its famous refrain, "Where Everybody Knows Your Name", as the show's tagline.
After premiering on September 30, 1982, it was nearly canceled during its first season when it ranked last in ratings for its premiere. Cheers, however, eventually became a highly rated television show in the United States, earning a top-ten rating during 8 of its 11 seasons, including one season at #1. The show spent most of its run on NBC's Thursday night "Must See TV" lineup. Its widely watched series finale was broadcast on May 20, 1993, and the show's 275 episodes have been successfully syndicated worldwide. Nominated for Outstanding Comedy Series for all eleven of its seasons on the air, it has earned 28 Emmy Awards from a then-record 117 nominations. The character Frasier Crane was featured in his eponymous spin-off show, which later aired up until 2004 and included guest appearances by virtually all of the major and minor Cheers characters.
Minority Report follows the unlikely partnership between a man haunted by the future and a cop haunted by her past, as they race to stop the worst crimes of the year 2065 before they happen.

To carry out this brand of justice, the agency used three precogs – "precognitives" Dash, Arthur and Agatha – who were able to see the future. Now, in 2065, crime-solving is different, and justice leans more on sophisticated and trusted technology than on the instincts of the precogs.

The series takes place in the 22nd century aboard Earth's first warp 5 capable starship Enterprise NX-01 designed for long-range exploration of the galaxy and captained by Jonathan Archer. The NX designation indicates that this Enterprise is an experimental prototype.
JAG is an American legal drama television show with a distinct military theme, created by Donald P. Bellisario, and produced by Belisarius Productions in association with Paramount Network Television. The first season was co-produced with NBC Productions.
Originally conceived as a Top Gun meets A Few Good Men, the pilot episode of JAG first aired on NBC on September 23, 1995; but the series was later canceled on May 22, 1996 after finishing 79th in the ratings, leaving one episode unaired. Rival network CBS picked up the series for a midseason replacement, beginning on January 3, 1997. CBS's decision to air JAG proved to be a good move, as JAG for several seasons climbed in the ratings and was on the air for nine additional seasons. JAG furthermore spawned the hit series NCIS, which in turn spun off another hit, NCIS: Los Angeles.
In total, 227 episodes were produced over 10 seasons and JAG was during its 5th season seen in over 100 countries worldwide. JAG was so popular that it entered syndication early in 1999 and it is still regularly repeated.

Ethereum devs are ready to roll out the Metropolis hard fork proposal by next week.
The Ethereum Foundation and other developers in the open source development community of Ethereum are ready to roll out the first iteration the Metropolis hard fork proposal by next week.
Over the past 12 months, an increasing number of multi-billion dollar financial institutions, Fortune 500 conglomerates and dapp developers have entered the Ethereum ecosystem through various consortia such as the Enterprise Ethereum Alliance. Companies like JPMorgan, Microsoft, Intel and BBVA are actively developing applications on top of the Ethereum protocol to automate their operations and develop new infrastructures based on the immutable Blockchain network of Ethereum.
For the Ethereum network to support all of the incoming large-scale dapps in the near future, especially many dapps that are set to be commercialized and implemented to larger platforms, developers will require a more robust protocol to work with.
Although only the Byzantine hard fork will be tested on Ethereum's testnet in early next week, a successful testing process of the Byzantine hard fork will allow the Ethereum Foundation and its developers to streamline the integration of the second phase of the Metropolis hard fork. Once the Metropolis hard fork is completed, it would allow most of the decentralized applications Buterin mentioned in the statement above to be commercialized and to be launched in a scalable and efficient ecosystem.
In an interview with Cointelegraph in April, Buterin noted that the Ethereum Foundation will continue to improve the core protocol of Ethereum. Once more companies and users develop and explore additional use cases, then the scalability and flexibility of the EThereum network would allow large Blockchain applications to be tested in various industries.
"There are a few perspectives. First of all, we will keep developing the technology and solving pressing challenges, some of them we already started working on, but there is still a lot to be done, including scaling, confidentiality, security issues. These issues need to be solved to ensure further development of the protocol and the whole ecosystem. Besides, we are focusing on the expansion of the system – to make sure that more projects are building on top of Ethereum, more companies and users working with the platform, exploring new use cases," said Buterin.

In 2016 weddings are ALL about making the celebration completely custom and personalizing the aesthetic down to the very last detail…and now I am BEYOND excited to announce that it continues… with completely custom wedding tuxedos, wedding suits, dinner jackets and dress shirts. Yes ladies + gents…. it's time from the Groom to get in on the shine and take advantage of some much needed TLC! This one goes out to all our handsome men out there and is brought to you by one of New Mexico's industry leaders in men's fashion and formal wear, Ashley Kerns of Suits Unlimited: Here's what she had to say about this sweet new trend.
Suits Unlimited is known for our menswear and especially our formal wear. We have helped hundreds of weddings achieve their menswear style for their big day.Whether it's classic tuxedos, or suits for the wedding party to purchase, we have always tried to make the best options available for our clients.This leads us to happily announce a new service for brides and grooms: custom suits, tuxedos, and dress shirts.
We have found an incredible vendor to work with to help clients achieve their dream menswear. This service comes with a higher price tag but it's clothing that is made to your every measurement, styled to your request, and can be built on a virtual mannequin on our iPads for your approval. We can even send the looks you have chosen if you are undecided via email. Styles are kept conveniently in your inbox for when you're ready.
Our clothing professionals can measure you to a "T" for your specific body type. There are hundreds of swatches of colors and patterns to choose from in jackets, pants, entire suits, and dress shirts. Detailed options include everything from picking your own buttons, color of thread for each button hole or lining of the jacket, down to the type of cuff and collar on a dress shirt.
A big hang up in ordering custom wear was waiting to find out if certain fabrics were still available. In most cases it would take a few days to find out if the fabric you chose was on the chopping block. Now, we have real time inventory where we can tell you immediately if a swatch or style is available.
Custom used to also take a while to be completed, but what used to take a few months now takes just under 4 weeks to create a custom suit. The service is even faster for dress shirts. After custom garments are complete and ship in, we do a final fitting to make sure everything fits perfectly. If something still needs a little adjusting, our tailoring department is on site so we can quickly to ensure the best fit.
We hope brides and grooms can look at this as an option for their wedding day. Again, it's a higher price tag for bespoke clothing but if it's viewed as an investment piece and something they will cherish for years to come, it can be well worth it. Every wedding is different, shouldn't the clothing be too?
OH! And be sure to go visit our friends at Suits Unlimited and tell them the PWG crew sent you. We recommend their team and services.every.single.time.
Get in touch with the Suits Unlimited Team!

A Critical Moment in Venezuela
UN High Commissioner for Human Rights
Flickr / UN Women / CC BY-NC-ND 2.0
In January, the surprising emergence of Juan Guaidó as the opposition's leader was followed by months of frenetic activity on the Venezuela crisis. But the National Assembly president's bet that massive internal mobilization and international pressure would bring an end to the Maduro dictatorship failed.
Today there seems to be a pause in the high drama. No one is quite sure what happens next. Talks in Oslo are secretive and progress is uncertain. Street protests across Venezuela have calmed down. In Washington, there is, for the moment, less talk about Venezuela. President Trump has even stopped tweeting about the hemisphere's worst crisis.
It is in this context that former Chilean president, Michelle Bachelet, now the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, is making a three-day visit to Venezuela. The visit comes at a critical moment and will be closely watched. Planned meetings cover the gamut – from Maduro and senior government officials, Guaidó and other opposition figures, economic leaders, representatives of civil society, and of course victims of human rights violations.
Although it is hard to predict the final result of the visit, there is little doubt that both sides of this tragic and protracted stalemate will seek to take maximum political advantage. For Maduro, the potential benefits of the Bachelet visit are obvious: he can try and exploit it to legitimize his dictatorial rule. The message to the international community would be clear: despite the fact that, in accordance with the constitution, over 50 governments have recognized Guaido as Venezuela's interim president, Maduro is firmly in control of the national territory. However one wishes to describe Maduro, the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights could hardly avoid meeting with him on an official visit. The government hopes the photo of Bachelet and Maduro will help overcome its isolation from most Latin American and European nations.
Maduro's decision to release some 21 political prisoners in advance of the visit was intended to project the regime's softer side and gain international goodwill (according to credible human rights groups there are 700 political prisoners in Venezuela). Nonetheless, it is hard to imagine that Bachelet will do anything but issue a very severe report on the grave human rights situation in Venezuela. Her team from the US High Commissioner recently made a scathing assessment. Although Maduro will do his best to show a more positive image, it is impossible to hide Venezuela's catastrophe: the inhuman conditions of jails and political prisoners; the refugee crisis; the disastrous health system; the absence of any functioning institutions; and the flagrant and systematic violation of civil and political rights.
In that sense, Bachelet's visit could also be costly for the regime and offer an opportunity for the country's democratic forces. It could put the Venezuela crisis back in center stage globally and help gain more sympathy for the many victims of human rights violations. And it might enable the United Nations to position itself as a more credible and effective player in the Venezuela crisis. So far it has been marginal. In the end, some negotiation will be necessary. International organizations like the UN will have a critical role to play in implementing whatever agreements are reached and assisting a nation desperate for profound change.

I'm a fan the classic Chevy Chase film, Fletch. If you haven't seen it, the eponymous hero classically tries to bluff his way through pretending he's an aircraft mechanic. At one point in the film as he attempts to maneuver his way through an inspection of a plane engine, he cunningly delivers the line, "It's all ball bearings nowadays!" And all too often I often feel like Fletch when it comes to DevOps. Software today is componentized, agile, and it's a market that's flooded with a seemingly endless amount of service providers.
What this post is not is a list of software recommendations. There's interminable detail and knowledge that's above my paygrade on this subject, and a never ending list of services available. What this post is, is an overview of the DevOps landscape today and its impact on the software industry as we know it.
Infrastructure Automation: Google Computing Engine, Amazon Web Services, Windows Azure, Digital Ocean, Heroku, etc.
Configuration Management: Chef, Puppet, etc.
And the other 'ball bearings': Log management, deployment management performance management, and monitoring.
What Is DevOps? Great, comprehensive overview, to tell you everything you need to know about what DevOps is, with some resources to help you get started.

Cooking more meals at home rather than eating out—it's definitely good for you, right? Well, there's a new study that says maybe it isn't always.
Ask any health professional and they'll tell you that one of the most effective things you can do to lose weight is to start cooking more meals. Eating at home gives you control over portion sizes and ingredients and allows you to know exactly what's going into your food.
And a smaller waistline isn't the only health benefit of a healthy, home-cooked meal. Cooking your own food can also help lower your risk for metabolic syndrome, heart disease, hypertension, and type 2 diabetes.
Having said that, there is one critical piece of information missing from the home-cooked meal movement: it matters what you cook.
You see I recently read a study that found that the more time middle-aged women spend cooking at home, the more likely they were to have metabolic syndrome, thus increasing their risk for heart disease and diabetes.
How did researchers come to this conclusion? The team looked at data it acquired over 15 years, tracking 2,000 women aged 42 to 52. They were each given an annual health exam and asked to complete a questionnaire about their eating and cooking habits. The team then examined how cooking habits related to the markers for metabolic syndrome, which are glucose levels, abdominal obesity, triglycerides, low HDL cholesterol, and hypertension. Having three of those benchmarks qualifies you for metabolic syndrome.
Your health all comes down to what you eat, not where it's consumed. If you're preparing meals and goodies at home that are filled with sugar, salt, and saturated fat, while neglecting portion sizes, you're not doing yourself any favors. For example, going to a restaurant for a slice of cake once in a while is far healthier than baking and eating a full cake at home.
If part of your health plan this year involves cooking and eating at home more often, make sure you're using ingredients that promote your goals. Read labels carefully and be aware that sauces—like BBQ sauce or ketchup—are packed full of sugar. To give meat some added flavor, use spices and seasonings instead (just be sure any seasoning mix you're using isn't loaded with salt).
For fruit and vegetables, focus on purchasing fresh or frozen products, along with whole-grain starch options and healthy fats. These general food guidelines are the best for promoting a healthy weight and limiting the benchmarks of metabolic syndrome.

We arrived in Eleuthera and it was as if we never left.
time since we last came here, but we have already met so many people.
Back home in Florida I can't say we have so many we call friends.
back in Florida both Arvid and I are more reserved.
few days relaxing and walking along different beaches.
Our first stop was French Leave. The views are spectacular.
The Pina Coladas delicious and the food was excellent.
just like in Branson, everyone is very friendly. I love it.
some business and have relaxing fun days.


Has any artist had a run like Pollard since striking out on his own with the launch of GBV INC in 2008? With the release of Moses On A Snail, Pollard has put out an unbelieveable 12 albums in a roughly 2-year span. That's not including all of the various EPs, singles, and a (third) box set of outtakes and unreleased tracks.
Moses On A Snail contains a dozen amazingly strong Pollard compositions. Even for this ridiculously prolific songwriter, this was a notable writing session as 10 of the 12 songs were written in one sitting.
As Pollard describes the process, he started with a notebook of working song titles, and penned 22 songs in a single afternoon's creative burst. He discarded 12, and ten songs were picked to later revise and flesh out. He made demos to send to frequent producer / collaborator Todd Tobias, who recorded the instruments before Pollard recorded his final vocals.
This batch of songs finds a somber, more reflective, yet ultimately triumphant Pollard on such instant classics as "Arrows and Balloons", "Each is Good in His Own House", "It's a Pleasure Being You", and the enormous title track "Moses on a Snail" which culminates in a dramatic (and atypical) minute-long guitar lead to close the album. Elsewhere, the elegiac "Teardrop Paintballs" is a seriously heartbreaking melody, and the (dare we call it) mellow opener "The Weekly Crow" reminds us to tell you that there will be a Pollard composition on the forthcoming Glen Campbell album.
Clocking in at a concise 36 minutes, Moses on a Snail begs to be played over and over again as it reveals itself more with each listen. It's an album that begs the question: "What is Robert Pollard going to do next to top this one?"

Some Facts about Ellmau SkiWelt Area
Ellmau is a municipality in the district of Kufstein in the Austrian region of Sölllandl. It lies 12 km southeast of Kufstein and 9 km west of Sankt Johann in Tirol. It is located at an elevation of 820 m above sea level. It was mentioned for the first time in the records in 1155 and is nowadays part of the Ski Welt skiing area. Ellmau is in very picturesque alpine countryside famed for its proximity to the Wilder Kaiser Mountains and the steep wooded and meadowed hills to the south.

For those concerned about the low altitude range of the area 180 km of the runs are covered with artificial snow. In the 2005-6 season the Ski Welt was further expanded by the Ki-West gondola which links Westendorf (on the Ski Welt pass but not quite lift linked to Ellmau) to the skiing at Kitzbuhel, expanding the nearly-lift-linked terrain available to more than 400km.

Brian Tracy says time and time again that one of the most important requirements for success is the quality of WILLINGNESS. Those are want to become successful are willing to PAY THE PRICE, whatever it is and for as long as it takes, until you have achieved the results you desire.
Nearly everyone wants to be healthy, happy, thin, and rich, yet most people are not willing to pay the price. They may be willing to pay PART of the price, but not the whole price. They typically have some kind of excuse or they rationalize as to why they cannot achieve what they desire to achieve. So the question is, how do you know when you have truly paid the price? Its simple: Look around you. Look at your current lifestyle, your bank account, your happiness, and your relationships with others. Is it what you imagined in your minds eye? Your outer world typically reflects what has gone on in your inner world and also tells the tale if you have paid the price or not.
A lot of experts say that success can only be rented, not owned. It must always be paid in FULL, and in advance. Its not like a restaurant where you pay AFTER you have enjoyed your meal.
Speaking of experts, you need to learn from them. Read their books. Listen to their audios. Attend their seminars. Those who you listen to and take action from is a great indication of the direction you are heading in life and the type of results you may have in the near future, whether that be good or bad. Choose wisely, for as the Bible states, "Faith comes by hearing.
The first step toward mastering your destiny is simply acknowledging that it's possible to exert control over your life. You must accept, as we've discussed, that you have the power to exert that control. Unfortunately, few people really live in this way.
For many, the word destiny conveys a curious, even mystical concept. The dictionary calls destiny "the predetermined, usually inevitable or irresistible course of events." It is a definition that appears to have many interpretations.
For some, destiny means life is controlled, even predestined, by external forces over which individuals have little or no say.
The ancient Greeks, for example, believed that a person's future was determined by three goddesses called the Fates, or the Destinies. The first Fate, Clotho, spun the thread of life. The second, Lachesis, measured the length of the thread so that the last Fate, Atropos, would know where to cut the thread to end the individual's life.
Since Ancient Greece, people have found reason to believe sincerely that their individual destinies were determined by such other disparate forces as gods, astrological signs, spirits, numerology, and even aliens from outer space! For some, divine predestination is an important religious belief. Some are convinced that individual fate is determined solely by either heredity or environment or both.
The obvious problems with such preemptive prescriptions for life is that they not only relieve individuals of the responsibility for their actions, but they rob us of incentive and initiative to live up to our potential. It reminds me of what I call the "conveyor belt" philosophy of life. With this outlook, we merely have to step on at the beginning and be carried through life without initiative or interruption to a predetermined destination. It may be safe, it may be secure and undemanding, but it leaves little room for creativity, individual achievement, or opportunities to enjoy the ride.
Let's look again at the definition of the word destiny. It says that destiny is "the predetermined, usually inevitable or irresistible course of events." What's missing here, of course, is the who! Who predetermines the course of events? I certainly don't mean to fault or take issue with those who, by religious teaching or tradition do ascribe a part of the direction or influence for their lives to a higher power. But I don't think any of us can afford to abdicate complete responsibility for what happens in our lives.
If we're to progress, if we're to succeed, if we're to reap the rewards of our efforts, each of us has to be the one who predetermines and makes inevitable or irresistible the course of events in our lives.
Consider Ebenezer Scrooge in Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol." We have to give him credit for recognizing the inevitable consequences of his old ways. In the end of the story, he leaves us with the timeless and uplifting lesson that not only do we each predetermine our individual fate in life, but we each have the power, through our own actions, to shape a more rewarding destiny for ourselves at any time.
These reflections on individual destiny always bring me back to the familiar but reliable saying that God, or whatever higher power you prefer, always helps those who help themselves. I don't believe anyone is entered as a favorite in the human race. Certainly some people start out with more than others, but everyone is given opportunities to advance in the world, and everyone has the free will and power to act on those opportunities. We all are empowered to reach our highest potential. Not to do so is a waste of the gifts of talent and free will that are our natural birthright.
So I urge you to define your destiny as a self-charted path to the successful future that you've decided to create. Experience the full potential of your destiny by exercising the power of your talents and the free will you have been given. Consider your destiny as a happy, exciting, and fulfilling journey that is always in progress, not just a final destination. It is the sum total of your well-designed life. It is the highest expression of what you believe. Your destiny is predetermined by you and is always subject to change for the better.
You can look at your life in two ways: that your destiny is something that happens to you, or that it's something you actively create. For me, the choice here is obvious. Become the architect of your own life. Use your power over your destiny to design your future and shape the world around you. Be the one who makes things happen!


Our store has been family owned and operated for over 50 years. In 1960, Fred Borgman started a business with one purpose in mind. He thought there was a better way to sell cars. He thought you could sell cars and be honest as well. Borgman was a huge success and the store became known as "The Home of the Redcoats". The salespeople all wore black pants, white shirts, black ties and the trademark, red sport coats. The redcoats came to stand for friendly, knowledgeable and professional sales people, a tradition which continues today.
Times have changed and the redcoats and ties have been retired but the tradition and honesty still continue. John Borgman is now the dealer principal and is following the same line as Fred Borgman, making Borgman Ford Mazda a family environment and a fun place to do business. Perhaps you have done business with us and know first hand.
Feel free to email one of our sales people at our Staff Page today to find out just how friendly, knowledgeable, and professional we are.

Reindeer herding is a traditional livelihood for arctic peoples, and a small number of Finns still get their income from it. For lifestyle company Gedigo, the half wild reindeer that grazes freely in the fells is both raw material and a source of inspiration, as many of their lifestyle products are made of reindeer leather.
Reindeer leather has traditionally been used in local crafts. Because it's soft, but also strong and durable, it's perfect for products that need to both last and look aesthetically pleasing.
Gedigo's philosophy represents our time – the company trusts craftsmanship and natural work processes. Even though they're based in Kokkola, an area which has a long tradition in manufacturing leather products, their unique products are exported all over the world.
