Bloomberg's Peter Grauer: How the 'And Factor' Defines Leadership

When Peter Grauer's daughter was six, she sweet-talked him into taking horseback riding lessons in New York's Westchester County, where the family lived. Grauer didn't mind, because it gave him a good opportunity to have some Saturday morning bonding time with her.
At the corral, Grauer met a congenial man who also had a young girl taking lessons. The two struck up a friendship as they waited through their daughters' sessions. "Our daughters became inseparable, and we were happy about that," Grauer recalled during a speech at the 2013 Wharton Leadership Conference, noting the other man had started a business that had just become successful when the pair met in 1989. "One of us would bring the bagels and the other the coffee. We would talk about business and sports and families, the usual stuff."

Then one day, when the girls were in their teens, the other dad decided to go into politics and wanted to cast off his CEO job. "It was Christmas of 2001 and he asked me, even though I had never worked in the media, to be his [company's] CEO," said Grauer of his Saturday morning stable buddy, Michael Bloomberg. "I tell people that you never know where you will make your connection. I was fortunate, and I have had a wonderful time. I run one of the most successful U.S. companies, and I owe it all to my daughter's desire to ride horses."

In truth, Grauer was qualified to take the job at global media company Bloomberg LP, having worked in high-level executive positions for Bank of America and Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette. According to Grauer, leadership cannot be boiled down to one or two attributes, and, even if it could, those attributes would necessarily seem a bit contradictory. At Bloomberg, he noted, when his executives go on one of their frequent retreats, they always come to the conclusion that the best leaders are those who exemplify a line from Walt Whitman's "Song of Myself": "Do I contradict myself? ... I am large, I contain multitudes."
"Instead of just being the best big-picture thinker, someone may be the best at that and also detail oriented," said Grauer. "They can give direction on little things and also encourage big ideas. They can be loyal to our company and also put the customer first. We call it the 'and factor,' and at Bloomberg we consider it the definition of leadership qualities."
Grauer does not rule out anyone becoming a leader based solely on his or her background. In fact, he said, his early years would certainly not be inspiring on a resume. At 15, he considered life to be a series of three things -- sports, girls and fun -- "I was pretty good at the first and last, not so much the middle one," he joked.
Eventually, Grauer realized that he needed to change his focus. He convinced his parents to send him to boarding school for a chance at a fresh start. Grauer enrolled at The Hotchkiss School and went from being a "C" student to president of the student body and captain of the football team. But before he achieved those honors, school officials would only admit him if he repeated the 10th grade.
"No one wants to repeat a grade in high school, but I knew I had to do it," Grauer noted, adding that he was lucky to get the opportunity to change course. He ended up going to the University of North Carolina. Grauer is constantly awed by the Harvard, Princeton and Yale types Bloomberg often hires, he said, but the large state-school environment was what he needed. He learned to negotiate big crowds and home in on what he wanted.
Grauer graduated from UNC in 1968 and the Harvard University Graduate School of Business Program for Management Development in 1975. "Life is a lot of being in the moment, saying, 'How am I going to get out of here?'" he said. "God knows where my maturity eventually came from."
Induce and Reflect
It is important, Grauer noted, for a leader to assert himself or herself, but even more vital is to have a good streak of humility. "When I started my career, I had that Wall Street swagger. I certainly thought I was the smartest guy in the room," he recalled. "Then in 1984, a miraculous thing happened: I had a deal that turned into a big fiasco.
"At that stage of my career, I lost whatever I had [in terms of] a reputation for being a deal maker," Grauer said. "After it fell apart, I took a hard look at my skills. From that moment on, my approach was that I would take on every challenge with humility. I would never be too proud to ask for help. At Bloomberg, we call that 'constructive paranoia.' We are constantly preparing for someone smarter than us to take us on. I love the idea that people at our company do not think they are as good as they really are."
Grauer's talk at Wharton was titled, "The 'And' Factor: Embracing Contradictions to Develop Great Leaders." One of his "and" criteria is that a leader should have the ability to both induce action and stand back and reflect. For example, while running Microsoft, Bill Gates would often travel to a remote place and take only some articles he had put off reading, Grauer noted. Gates's only interruption would be that he would have someone bring out meals; otherwise, he would spend his time reading and jotting down ideas. "Some would lead to a new product or a project for his foundation. Others would be small and fleeting. But each one would give him more perspective. We need to take time to step back from the day-to-day and be alone with our thoughts."
According to Grauer, the ability to reflect is a key skill he tries to instill in executives during Bloomberg retreats, particularly in the case of younger employees who may not have learned to value it yet. "I have asked them to spend time outside of work with a clear sheet of paper and make brutal self-assessments," he noted. "They can choose to share them with me or not, but most have. It set a framework for them about their strengths and weaknesses going forward. I believe that a career is a long reflection [on] self-improvement."
Above all other qualities, Grauer said, a leader must establish a sense of intimacy with employees and customers. He or she must, as best as possible, learn something about every employee and relate to them on a personal level, because a leader can never be sure what trait will make an employee a future leader. His own first big interview brought that point home to him. "The head of college recruiting at Citibank took a chance on me at my first big job," he noted. "I was woefully under-qualified. On that first day, there were MBAs from Harvard, Wharton and Columbia, but someone took a chance on something I had said or done -- [something] that maybe I didn't know I could do well myself.
"When I address a group, I try to look everyone in the eye and shake hands," Grauer continued. "I want them to know they are important to me. At some moment in the future, I am going to ask people to do something hard.... They will walk over hot coals for a leader who they believe has their interests in [mind]."
Working without a Playbook
Prior to joining Bloomberg, Grauer was a managing partner at Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette from 1992-2000. He served as managing director and senior partner of CSFB Private Equity until March 2002, when he joined Bloomberg full-time. Grauer had been a member of the media and financial data company's board since 1996 and has served as its chairman since 2001.
Co-founded in 1982 by New York Mayor Bloomberg, the media company, which provides financial analytics and data through the eponymous Bloomberg Terminal, has grown to more than 15,000 employees in 192 locations across the globe. The privately held firm generated $7.9 billion in revenue in 2012, up from $7.6 billion in 2011, according to Forbes.
During Grauer's tenure, Bloomberg completed acquisitions of BusinessWeek and the Bureau of National Affairs. Last May, the company purchased Dublin-based software firm PolarLake in an effort to launch a new data management service.
While speaking at Wharton, Grauer recalled a trip to Japan that he took soon after the devastating earthquake and tsunami in 2011. He had business to do, but realized that circumstances also made it an opportunity to show leadership through intimacy. "I arrived at 6 a.m., and Narita Airport [in Tokyo] was deserted. The roads were empty when we made our way to the office. It was pretty scary," Grauer noted. "When we arrived at our offices, the building was still shaking with aftershocks."
But, to Grauer's amazement, nearly all of the employees were in the office working. They came, he noted, because it was important to them to check in on colleagues, and to feel a sense of normalcy. "I stopped at every desk, shook hands and told them how important they were to us," said Grauer. "I told them that as a company, we would never leave Japan. There are a lot of moments in one's career where there is no playbook. But when you approach it with humanity, the rest will work."

Task Force Provides Comments to CMS regarding EPM Cancellation and CJR Modifications

The Task Force has submitted comments to CMS on the proposed rule Cancellation of Advancing Care Coordination Through Episode Payment and Cardiac Rehabilitation Incentive Payment Models; Changes to Comprehensive Care for Joint Replacement Payment Model (CMS-5524-P). The Task Force advocated that CMS introduce voluntary bundled payment models as soon as possible, and recognize proactive investments. Regarding the proposed modifications to CJR, the Task Force encouraged better synchronization with other Alternate Payment Models, a redefinition of the “low-volume” threshold and offered support for gainsharing and broadening the scope of the Affiliated Practitioners.

Principles for Clinical Episode and Population-Based Payment Overlap

While both episode-based and population-based payment models present opportunities for improvement in quality and care, they are not always in alignment. The recent implementation of Medicare-focused alternative payment models has resulted in instances of overlap, where multiple providers may be responsible for the same patient under different models. While this does not create a problem by itself, it can create inefficiencies and challenges that are ultimately at odds with the end goal of delivering higher quality and more integrated care.

The Task Force has developed a set of guiding principles to govern the development of best practices in public and private payer models.

Sunday Sermon at Belvedere (4/26/98)

Sunday Sermon at Belvedere (4/26/98)

Reverend Sun Myung Moon
April 26, 1998
Translation by Rev. Peter Kim
Unofficial Notes by Tyler Hendricks

Because of the fall, the world is covered with clouds. We cannot see the sunshine. The only way to harmonize life on earth and in the spirit world is by cutting off the satanic blood lineage. What is this year’s motto? Let us love and be proud of True God by accomplishing the 360 million couples blessing and eradicating the satanic blood lineage. Where does 360 million come from? It symbolizes all humanity. When we complete it, we will be engrafted not just as individuals but as families. The world will be filled with true olive tree families.

When we go to spirit world, our original mind immediately tells us where to go. We are born not for ourselves, but for the sake of God and the cosmos. So we should live accordingly. Originally we would have known this when we were born. But because of the fall, this was lost.

Divine Principle contents were given by Father verbally or handwritten. But it was formalized with the help of Pres. Hyo Won Eu, because the fallen world should be dealt with by its own representative. The same applies to teachings about the spirit world. Now in spirit world, Pres. Eu is teaching Divine Principle and Dr. Lee is teaching Unification Thought. When good people go to spirit world, they will become the new leadership of the spirit world centering on Pres. Eu and Dr. Lee. Father will set it up when he goes there.

Even if we receive the blessing, there are thousands of levels of blessed couples, who cannot enter the Kingdom of God directly. They will be on the Paradise level. We are covered by the quality of life on earth, also our family’s quality of life. There is no way to hide it. Remember that even the late Dr. Lee did not realize how precious Father’s teaching is until he went to spirit world. Now he is telling us the reality of spirit world, which he can interpret well since he learned Divine Principle from Father. He says that there is a great amount of work to be done, to bring everything into conjunction with God’s and Father’s heart.

Just knowing Divine Principle does not mean you can live with Father in spirit world. Father has to build a bridge you can cross over. But God’s sovereignty is not yet established in spirit world or on earth. America is not God’s country yet. We tend to think this Unification Church is the true way of life, but no, it is only the elementary school level. In order to defeat the satanic world we need to go through a training session. Father’s life has been this way. He will see it through to the end.

Once you see the reality of life in spirit world, you have no desire to stay in this world. But Father has to stay here to fulfill God’s will. So we should realize how precious is True Father, the sole origin of heavenly lineage. We become part of his love, life and lineage. If we fall away from True Parents, we are in misery. Unless we make absolutely sure we are connected to True Parents’ love, life and lineage, we will not be part of their family kingdom, but will be in family hell. So we have to go through much change in this world.

How can we break ourselves down and go to the zero point? We constantly must be aware that “I am the result of the fall,” so that we can completely deny our satanic love, life and lineage and reach the point of complete negation. At that zero point, we can renew our love, life and lineage. We face it everyday. Life here is temporary, just the flick of a second. If we realize the value of True Parents, our life would be totally different.

Father’s mission is to recover everything beginning from the lowest nation to the top nation, climbing up as if on a ladder. Then once he reaches the top, he cuts it off and starts again at the bottom on a new level.

Originally there was to be no separation of physical world and spirit world. God would be the bone and we the flesh. But the fall lost this. So history progressed through the Old and New Testaments. The plus was the providence of restoration, and the minus was the satanic world. The world finally divided in two: Communist and Democratic, God accepting and God denying. At the end of this period, the Lord of the Second Advent should appear. The godly world is the heavenly side wild olive trees, and the satanic world the evil wild olive trees. We cut them off and make them part of the original body of Adam. So we cut off and do this. God is the bone, and it begins from the individual to the family, etc. to the world. This is the history of the blessing. Now we are reaching the goal of 360 million. This will cover about half the human population.

The Lord of the Second Advent established the true family, and centering on it we need to create the true nation. The world has had individual salvation, but now the basic unit is the family. The true family should have come at the time of Jesus, but did not. The entire world will be centered on the true family and true nation, and the world will reach the original ideal of God.

Receiving the blessing is not the completion. Centering on True Parents, our new lineage will start. The standard of purity is the same on every level, but we as blessed couples do not have that standard. So at some time, Father has to straighten out the blessed couples’ standard. Father has to push. Satan is clever in manipulating the words “human rights.” Does America have real human rights? No. If it advocates human rights for others, it should straighten itself out first. Christianity itself denies the Unification Church. If Christianity had accepted the Unification Church as a denomination, consistent with its self-proclaimed ethic of human rights, then history would have been different. We then would have been able to dialogue with Christians, with no roadblock. But Christianity blocked the Unification Church road.

The value of each level is the same, whether individual, family, national, and so forth. So we can travel to every level freely. But is your mind free? You have worry and anxieties. You have many fences on different levels. But as long as we focus on life for God and humanity, out way will open. No matter how distant I am from God, I will be connected with God and His lineage. But if we go to spirit world without connecting and practicing, we will not be able to rise up through the levels.

True Parents are the fruit of the victory in history. Within the realm of True Parents are eight stages. At any time they can be rotated, but when they expand they are the axis for billions of generations. Don’t say that Father’s course is strict but ours does not have to be. We all have to follow the same course. Look at baby monkeys on their mother’s back. We have to cling to God the same way. True Father is like the mother monkey. The longer the connecting line, the better, because we can travel on a larger radius. It depends on the heart we invest in this life course.

Father’s course has not been smooth. Prison, persecution. But he has gone steadily forward because he understands spirit world. The road of True Parents is fate, destiny; like a parent-child relationship which can never be altered or destroyed. It cannot be altered. It is fate; destiny can be altered or affected. Even God cannot change fate. God cannot change lineage anytime He likes. That is why it has taken so long. True Parents are only one who can change lineage.

The Lord of the Second Advent is not elected by voting. God is not elected. Election is brotherism, not parentism. In True Family there are 13 children. If Father passes into spirit world, what would happen if all want to be the heir? In this case, we need election. Democracy applies here. Four year terms, each one after the other. Except that the superior one can take over from the inferior. The path of democracy is zigzag. Truth is a straight line, God’s kingship, but Satan took God’s crown prince and princess.

Jesus said lose your life to gain your life. So America should sacrifice itself for the sake of the world. It should be one world under God. Do Americans have that concept? Do WASPs? No. One world under God is Godism, which equals parentism. On the foundation of Christianity, the world has reached a certain point. But because they did not receive the Unification Church, the world has plummeted.

There are three models, the Old Testament, New Testament and Completed Testament. This defines our relationship with spirit world. Professors and journalists are not based on the truth. Go to spirit world and you will find out.

In the fallen world there are many kinds of fathers, step-father, surrogate father, etc. Some child had nine different step-fathers. Because of free sex. This is not decided by the children. They do not like it. There should be only one parent, one father and one mother.

Some secular people may say this is old-fashioned, because they want to chase wealth and luxury, and to follow True Parents one has to sacrifice it. Do you prefer the road of fate or of destiny? In the ideal, one should follow one’s parents before one’s spouse. But in the fallen world, people follow their spouse before their parents. Do parents initiate their children’s divorce? Parents absolutely do not want their children to divorce. Adam and Eve denied their parents in the Garden. That is the road to hell.

We have to follow the road of fate. Father is True Parents, and he will never deny his fate. But we make compromises. Some are children of filial piety, others are not. There are thousands of children, but only one true parents and one true God. The two are completely one. This is why there is hope to unite spirit world and physical world. Even if you offer the universe, you cannot buy True Parents. They are the only ones who can straighten out the fallen world; not even God alone can do it.

God could not touch the fallen lineage. He cannot touch the fallen world. But True Parents can deal with it directly. God has been imprisoned, but by the appearance of True Parents, a new dawn has come and as the sun rises, to high noon, where there is no shadow. We are approaching noon. The Kingdom of God is like the world without shadows. There is no night. In that world you can do whatever you want. You don’t need to study. You can learn all you want in a week. You can make countless goods and items as you think of them. But the thought should not be self-centered, but based upon the practice of love. Imagine food to eat with your wife. In the lower levels there is no love, so no goods, only fighting. They steal food and clothing. If you truly believe this, you want to go there right away. So Father has kept this in the background, and has put restoration in front.

God is like a generator. His power can be transmitted to all the factories and creation can take place. Father has been doing this. He is a mysterious person. We cannot understand him unless we understand the spirit world. We still have this barrier, a heavy concrete wall to carry. Those are people who persecuted Father. But Father forgets and forgives them. God has been patient for 4,000 years, and Father for 40 years. There is no comparison between your life and Father’s.

You may say, “what is Hoon Dok Hae? We are too busy! Father has given so many instructions which we cannot keep up with! How can I do Hoon Dok Hae?” Who does Hoon Dok Hae the most? God is the champion of the Hoon Dok Hae tradition, because He has been giving His word endlessly. If you skip Hoon Dok Hae, you must also skip breakfast. If you skip it for one week, then fast and stay awake for 24 hours. If you skip for one month, then 40 days fasting.

Father is the Hoon Dok Hae champion. God is attracted to him therefore. Father does it with 100% sincerity. Are you just going to watch from the sidelines? You should try to surpass Father at it. Raise you children and maintain your family life, but that is secondary to Hoon Dok Hae.

The shadows should disappear. It should be daylight. There is a conflict in that God wants True Father to go to spirit world quickly, but you don’t nor does True Mother. When True Parents go there, God will be original sung-sang and True Parents original hyung-sang. Will God and True Mother unite first, or God and True Parents altogether unite first, or God and True Father? Adam was created first. Man is number one. In the Bible, women wore head covering to church. It means your husband is above you. This is the eternal order of creation.

People say they make much money in the world, but in the Unification Church no one guarantees my income, so why should I stay here? Even Unification Church leaders sometimes wonder that Father is known to be wealthy, so why doesn’t he pay fat salaries so we will be happy to work here? But we are still in the pitch-dark tunnel, so we need to go through all kinds of struggles. We have to confront the desire to die, to never have been born. We have to hang on to the right side, God, and go one step at a time through the difficult tunnel. Don’t expect any help from Father. Father has never received a salary. He never prayed for food or shelter.

If we can secure the foundation in our generation by following this strict way of life, it may save the thousands of generations which it would otherwise take. If we live this true life, we will join spirit world with Father. Then will Father not seek to advance us first in the spirit world, in front of himself? But of course the parents have to be one with God first, then they will connect us. They will never abandon us. God is the first generation, Adam and Eve the second. So you have to wait in line. How long are you willing to wait? One month? One year? The process is not yet completed. What if Japanese people go in first? Then Americans have to wait, no matter how famous you are.

God has been patient for millions of years. On the boat, Father challenges how long he can be patient without catching fish. When he started up in Boston, he waited 21 days before catching a fish. You cannot predetermine the length of time. 21 days may turn into 210 years. Satan does not have that kind of patience. He will run away. Even God is not that patient. He says, stand up, let’s go, and He takes His son to a good place. Think of how long Father has been waiting. He came to America over 26 years ago, and he has been waiting.

Do you absolutely feel you need True Father? (Yes.) You are all lying. Satan consistently lies. God demands an absolute standard. The line of true love is a straight line. The line of historical true love is unchanging. God doesn’t care how long it takes. The line belongs to Him. No matter how severe are the storms, the water will evaporate, become clouds, and fall again. Circulation means that no matter how far we deviate, it always comes back to the central point. The alpha and omega are one.

Are you at the central point? What is your honest feeling? This is the point at which the Democratic and Communist world unite. That point is Korea. Korea is at the zero point now, with no politics, economy or religion. At that point, Father gave the word of God, the blessing of the Completed Testament Age. The performing arts group The Little Angels was made 35 years ago, the Universal Ballet 14 years ago. The New York Times critic said the Universal Ballet put the old companies to shame, and the Little Angels are going to North Korea, the first civilian group to do so. Kim Jong Il likes Father, maybe more than you do. Father’s goal is to unify cultures, such as with a Korean ballet company combining eastern and western styles. So he is thinking to form a corporation to promote this ideal of performing arts. It would tap into our global foundation.

Do you have confidence to go to spirit world? There are two parts of spirit world, those who have confidence to go there, and those who don’t. We have no choice, we have to join there. Your good fruit will be stored, and rotten fruit thrown away.

To reach the highest heaven, we have to go through the hell of each of our five senses. We have to graduate from the worst things in this world. We hear, see, taste, smell and feel the worst. Knowing the spirit world, Reverend Moon follows the path of hell in the physical world. That’s why he took the persecution of imprisonment in America. Father could have stayed in Korea, but he has a road no one has taken before. When you go shopping, go for the cheapest, worst goods. Leave the best for your descendants. Is Father happy or not? Centering on God, he is happy, but in the world, Father is not happy. Satan tries to set all kinds of hooks in him. But nothing sticks.

There are three kinds of holy wine ceremonies: rebirth, resurrection and eternal life. This process in toto is the experience of rebirth. The first is in the womb, like Tamar, Zerah and Perez. It is when the baby is in the womb and the mother drinks holy wine. The second stage is the children not old enough to marry. The third is those who are marrying or are married. After that process, we all come true children centering on True Parents. We go through the mother’s womb then are engrafted (the second stage) then find eternal life. This is the Old, New and Completed Testaments, the three stages.

The crossing line represents 3.6 billion, the entire human population. It is the realm of the completion of the fourth Adam. No indemnity, complete liberation. Here, parents give the blessing to their own children. Here the kingdom of God on earth will be proclaimed and automatically connected to the Kingdom of Heaven in heaven.

To do so, give people the Blessing. For first and second stages, use holy wine candy. Wives can eat it for the child in the womb. In Korea, 7 million couples have done it, 14 million people. The second stage is school children. Children whose mother ate while they were in the womb, the first stage, do not need the second stage. But no matter what, all need to go through the 3rd stage.

Without receiving the Blessing, one cannot go to heaven. By going through this process, we deny hell in the physical world and spirit world and enter the eternal realm, where there is no night and there are no shadows. It is a world of white light so bright that it looks pink or purple. It is the light of electricity, the light of love, the eternal light of true love’s essence.

The blessing is like rain; it falls on the good and the evil. We save our ancestors to 120 generations, and also their ancestors. They are waiting as if in a seedbed. When you go to spirit world, they will serve you as if you were kings and queens. There is no mission more precious than the blessing work, because through it you become national messiah king and tribal messiah. It is more important than taking care of your family and home. On the offering table there should be sacrifices.

Everyone who can go to UTS should do so.

If Father sought Korean presidency, he could have done it. But position doesn’t count at all in spirit world. So he doesn’t care for this world, but just teaches the Completed Testament text. [end]

Hi family and friends,

Just wanted to share some more good stuff with all of you here. But before I start, I want to promise everyone that I will do MY very BEST to make sure that my blogs remain as positive and lovely as possible- that will always be my intentions. I refuse to focus my thoughts on the disease. I'd rather fill my mind with thoughts of health and healing. I've come so far from what I was like 2 years ago- spirituall and mentally. Today, I can honestly say that I've become my own version of an optimist. And I've learned that to be an optimist, I must look for the good- so here goes some more GOOD.

Although Luis missed his last treatment (due to an infection by his J tube) he still managed to make great progress on his own at home. He started having these desires everyday to go to work- and he wasn't slowing down either. A few times, (while at work) he would text me and ask if he ever told me that he loves his job?- and I would reply saying yes. I was so happy for the guy. He loves working on cars and says that he could'nt ask to work for a better company than this dealership. And according to him, the guys on his team are the best- very understanding with what his going through, help him out, and even give him the light jobs to work on. He tells me that he thanks GOD everyday for these guys.

On Friday, we went to the treatment center with expectations of him staying for chemo- and (as usual) they got his port accessed and him ready to go. I don't know why they do that first before checking his blood work results. There was a few times where they accessed his port (to get him ready for chemo) then learned that his blood work didn't check out ok with the doc. So they had to send him home with it. But any how, an hour later, Dr. Neelam's assistant comes in and tells us that his blood work looks good and begins to exam him.
She mentions that there's some highs and lows on the chart but nothing that should stop him from getting chemo today- so she puts in the order. She ask's us if anyone has gone over the blood work with us earlier- we said no. She goes on explaining what are some of the stuff they're focused on and begins to point out something on the chart VERY interesting and a bit surprising to her. His tumor marker- it's something that the doctors use to monitor the success of a current therapy. Or another words, check if the cancer is responding well to the treatment or not.

Now I've purposely forgotten about this marker- it serves me no purpose. But because she had such an enthusiastic response to it, (I thought) okay, you got my attention, and I'm listening. She said, (wow Luis, although you've missed a treatment, you still managed to bring your tumor marker down by 2 points). It seemed as though she was impressed. But me and Luis just looked at each other with a BIG smile and felt each others joy. We understand that medical therapy is only part of the plan to help him heal- and that he still has control over his mind. The biggest battle with cancer is in the mind. So once you learn the laws of your mind, you'll experience growth and healing.

Take a look at the picture where the letters CEA (carcinoembryonic antigen) appear!
The marker shows that it's gone down to 17.2 from what it was 19.2 You see, these are the stuff that I love to give my focus to and share it with you guys- things that inspire and fill my heart with joy. :-)

until next time........become your own version of an optimist- even if your current results show darkness!

    I usually soak my veggie and fruits in salt water to remove any pesticide and dirt. Recently, I started to use Harvest Pure fruit and vegetable wash from Melaleuca as a friend gave this to us as a gift.   She is a member of Melaleuca and I have also recently joined as a member. Melaleuca cleaning products use the best of science and nature to combine for the safest yet most effective cleaning. The products have no harsh chemicals, safe for households with kids and are super concentrated.

    Harvest Pure fruit and vegetable wash consists of natural lime oil, Melaleuca oil (Tea Tree Oil), alcohol and water.  It safely and naturally removes waxes, debris and pesticides from the surface of fruits and veggies.

    Do you use any kind of fruit and veggie wash, salt or vinegar to wash your fruits and veggies?

    Here’s another very simple yet wholesome home-cooked dinner, which was 50% organic, 100% free from MSG and food additives:

    Stir-fried organic sweet potato leaves with garlic, steamed brown rice, stir-fried pork slices with organic Japanese pumpkin (check out the pretty bright orange color of the pumpkin skin) and steamed salmon fish with julienned ginger, drizzled with organic soy sauce.  A very ‘ching ching tei’ dinner which does not leave us all running to the kitchen to down cups after cups of water to quench thirst.

    I used to wear sterling silver jewelry on my neck and wrist, which I do not remove even when I shower and go to bed. In view of the recent spate of brazen snatch thieves in our neighborhood, even in the presence of patrolling guards, I am now devoid of jewelry as I jog round the neighborhood every morning, save for a small waist pouch which I put a small amount of money to buy the newspapers and breakfast. These days I try to minimize jogging in the neighborhood as I had left behind my pepper spray in Ipoh. I am still waiting for the hubs to get me a new pepper spray. Keeping the pepper spray in my pocket gives me a peace of mind.

    Before cooking your beef spaghetti bolognaise or steaming eggs with meat, do you wash the minced meat?  If yes, do you  wash it with a sieve.  I have always instructed my previous maids to wash any type of meat before cooking them, including minced meat.  For meat used to boil soup, I even instructed her to blanch the meat briefly with hot water before dumping it into the pot of soup.  Now that I am maidless, I am trying to cut down on work.  I do not mind washing the minced meat using a sieve but I find washing and cleaning the sieve very troublesome as the minced meat will get wedged inside the tiny holes of the sieve.  I use a brush to wash the sieve but sometimes the meat is still stuck inside the very tiny holes.  So I am just wondering if  it is really necessary to wash minced meat before cooking it.  My mil always has doubts that the butcher washes the meat before grinding the meat and has qualms about the cleanliness of the blender used too.

    Do you wash your minced meat before cooking it?

    We ordered this Wood Fired Thin Crust Pizza Formaggi from our favorite cafe but I did not like the taste of one of the cheeses used in the topping. The taste of the white colored Ricotta cheese proved to be a tad over-powering for my palate and made my tummy churned. As compared to other flavors of pizza, this meatless pizza has a calorie of about 270 only for a quarter of the pizza, which is not that fattening. But too bad, the taste of the Ricotta cheese just did not please my palate. I am a cheese lover but my taste bud just cannot get along well with the strong flavor of some cheeses like blue cheese, Feta and Ricotta.

    … with fever and throat infection. After an outing with a friend who brought along her kids who were down with fever and flu, my girls caught the virulent bugs, all 3 of them. Even the hubs is down. Thank God Cass was spared from fever but could not escape the flu and throat infection. Thanks to Esberitox, Cass managed to contain the flu from blowing up into a full-fledge one. Alycia and Sherilyn were bitten hardest and have been down with spiking high fever and throat infection. Sherilyn threw up 5 times yesterday, mostly of phlegm and had tummy discomfort. It must be the effect of the Nim Jiom Pei Par Koa that she ate. The puking and purging are ways her body expels the phlegm. I notice that each time Sherilyn is fed with pei par koa or Flumucil, there will be an inevitable episode of purging and vomiting, after which she will stop coughing and the phlegm would be reduced substantially.

    I am hoping that this time, I will be spared from the throat infection. I have yet to recover 100% from the last bout of throat infection (which is now into its 4th week) and still have some remnants phlegm on and off, which is showing signs of a resurgence since yesterday. When I am really down and out, I do not get any rest. No MC. No sleeping in late though my body and head feel like they are breaking up. No. With an aching and weak body and mind, I still have to drag myself out of bed at 5:30am to prepare the girls for school and to get house chores done. Still hoping that our search for a replacement (and efficient) live-in maid will bear fruit very soon.

    A sparkling apple with shiny red skin does not necessarily mean that the inner part is just as good. Well, the outer flesh can still look enticingly white and juicy but you can only tell that the apple is 100% good after you cut it into half to expose its core.

    I was very much disappointed when the seemingly red, sweet and juicy apple that I bought turned out to have a ‘rotten heart’. As it was an expensive apple, I felt it was such a waste to throw the entire apple away. Before binning the apple, I nibbled away the outer flesh which still tasted very sweet and crunchy. But as I was chewing on the half rotten apple, I was overcome with worry. I had once read from an article that said that if a part of a fruit has turned bad, the entire fruit should be discarded. What if my frugality by eating half rotting food leads me to some kind of major ailments over time?

    Do you throw the entire fruit away if only part of it has turned bad?

    Do not judge the apple by its skin! And do not judge a person from his/her looks as it is really deceiving!

Mental Clarity Formula

Home/Mental Clarity Formula

Mental Clarity Formula

Mental Clarity and Concentration Australian Essential Oil Blend

with Honey Myrtle, Fragonia and Peppermint Gum in Macadamia oil. 30mls

The Mental Clarity and Concentration Formula formula is ideal for those people seeking a better focus and a crisper, sharper , clearer mind.

Image by Paul Asman and Jill Lenoble [CC BY 2.0 (], via Wikimedia Commons

Mental Clarity and Concentration Formula contains 30 mls of the Australian Essential oils Honey Myrtle, Fragonia and Peppermint Gum in a Macadamia Oil base.

Apply a few drops of the formula to your wrists or temples for emotional balancing and grounding.

Fragonia is a recently discovered Australian essential oil from the plant Agonis fragrans.  It contains 3 constituents which are in balance with each other and are believed to contribute the balancing effect of emotions. It is used by aromatherapists for its anti-depressive properties but is also used in perfumes, as an aid for jet lag, colds and flu (antimicrobial, decongestant) as well as its anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties. Its aroma is fresh and pleasant.

Honey Myrtle is my favourite Australian essential oil. It is highly fragrant with a sweet, honey, lemon aroma. The essential oil of Honey Myrtle or Melaleuca teretifolia is sourced from the leaves and branchlets. It has uplifting properties which aids clarity and focus of the mind. The relaxing, calming effects of Honey Myrtle can help with the relief of mental stress and pressure.

Peppermint Gum is a type of eucalyptus which contains menthol – hence its peppermint aromas. The fresh, spicy, pepper-minty, eucalyptus aromas are beneficial for physical and mental health. During times of mental fatigue the oil can be energizing as well as soothing, sedative and calming. Peppermint gum also provides some fantastic anti-inflammatory and antifungal benefits.

LA Fiore's Beautifully Damaged

Beautifully Damaged

(BOOK 1 in the Beautifully Damaged Series)

Ember Walsh is a trusting soul with the quiet beauty of her late mother, who perished in a mysterious car crash when Ember was three. A little tomboyish from being raised by her father, Ember packs a punch when a stranger gets pushy with her in a bar, catching the steely blue eyes of a tall, gorgeous tattooed man—Trace Montgomery.

Still damaged from her last disastrous relationship and warned off the bad boy by friends, Ember fights the smoldering heat that Trace sparks in her when he begins shadowing her like a dark angel.

Burdened by a lifetime of horror and heartbreak, amateur fighter Trace doesn’t want to want Ember. His deep self-loathing keeps him from having any meaningful relationships, but Ember is an itch he can’t scratch.

The two push and pull, slowly crumbling their walls, seemingly brought together by fate, because the turmoil that haunts their pasts is interlinked in undeniable ways. But can these two fighters finally lay down their arms?

In Beautifully Damaged, L.A. Fiore delves into deep scars and lets love and forgiveness uncover redemption.

         Purchase Links:

Beautifully Forgotten
(BOOK 2 in the Beautifully Damaged Series)

Successful restaurateur Lucien Black’s blue-green eyes and unattainable attitude drive women wild.

But his abandonment issues and criminal past have left him emotionally closed off.

When a familiar face shows up for a job interview at his nightclub, the ache he has tried to forget tears at his heart—it’s the girl who once healed him…and then abandoned him.

Darcy MacBride still remembers Lucien’s delicate touch when they were both wildly in love teenagers.

His gorgeous eyes had soothed her hurt after she’d been dumped off at the orphanage where Lucien lived. Darcy felt his jagged edges fit perfectly into her own, and she’d planned to spend the rest of her life with him—until a mysterious man warned her away.

Now, fourteen years later, she’s ready to endure the torture of Lucien’s indifference and having him as her boss…just to be near him. But when it seems that they might finally take up where they left off, a devastating secret buried in their past threatens to tear them apart again.

L.A. Fiore’s story of smoldering love recaptures the tormented romance of Beautifully Damaged.

Beautifully Decadent
(BOOK 3 in the Beautifully Damaged Series)

Avery Collins has just landed her dream job, pastry chef for the posh-Manhattan restaurant, Clover. Her new boss, Trace Montgomery, even helped with securing her an affordable place to live: a beautifully restored carriage house owned by his friend, Rafe McKenzie—a man that makes her catch her breath and stirs her imagination.

Trouble is, he's involved with someone, his father is being released after 25 years in prison and Avery is just his tenant.

Exploring the attraction that sizzles whenever they're together would be the icing on the cake, but Avery knows all too well that you can't have everything.

Of course, what's cake without icing?

Rafe McKenzie's world shattered at nine when his father Liam—the only parent he knew—was arrested and convicted for armed robbery. Growing up in the system, Rafe managed to survive his childhood and now has a job he enjoys, a house he's restoring and a tight circle of friends.

He's even working on reconciling with his dad, both eager to put the past in the past.

Happy for the income a tenant would bring, Rafe agrees to rent his carriage house to Clover's new pastry chef. When Avery Collins pulls up his drive, she's not at all what he's expecting.

Funny, sexy and as sweet as her desserts, it doesn't take long for things between them to heat up.

Just when it seems as if they'll have their cake and eat it too, the past comes back with deadly intent leaving Rafe to figure out who's pulling the strings before his world shatters again.

Winner of 3 Stamp Sets and a Free Valentine Image for You!

Hi Everyone,

Wow - thank you all for all the great feedback and compliments on our new Clear Art Stamp Sets! It made us all so happy to know you love them! All of our new stamp sets have arrived except for Easter Joy and they are available in our Shopatron online store here. Note - there are now 12 pages of stamp sets! If you have a favorite retailer please tell them they can order them in for you!

We have a winner for the 3 favorite new stamps giveaway. We had 273 entries and it took up 2 pages of comments. So, I decided to ask my husband to pick a random winner from each page so we actually have 2 winners now! The winners are Miriam and Trisha! In future please leave a way for us to reach you.

Miriam said...I love all of the new sets, but if I have to narrow it down, my favorite small set would be Little Dancer, my favorite medium set would be Happy Easter, and my favorite large set would be Sweet Stuff. Thank you for continuing to create such wonderful stamps!!! They have been my favorites ever since I first heard of Crafty Secrets!

My husband Scott laughed when he read this comment by Trisha

Tricia said... Doesn't this fall under a violation of our constitutional rights concerning cruel and unusual punishment??? So hard to make a choice when all of the sets are wonderful. I'll weigh in, though, on Lucky Wishes for medium as I really liked the ticket stamp as well as the large set Fairyland because it reminds me of Alice in Wonderland types of possibilities. I'll like the small Chandelier Fun because my girlfriends and I must say "hang in there girlfriend" at least once a day. Thanks so much for asking what we like.

I'm posting a free printable vintage image for you to play with as a Valentines gift for all of you. You can right click the image with your mouse and save it to a picture file.

Newsflash: Hard Times Hit Toilet Paper Industry

Photo by Est Bleu2007

First it was the hamburger: an almost imperceptible downgrade to a smaller bun and patty, all the while maintaining the price. Then it was yogurt: down from 8 ounces to 6. Same price. The toilet paper industry has evidently joined the bandwagon, so to speak. When replenishing the toilet paper in our bathroom and pitching the now-empty roll, I noticed the new roll (Quilted Northern, for those of you who wonder) is approximately one-quarter of an inch shorter than the old one. And you guessed it: same price. Pretty soon, they'll tell us a gallon (of whatever) is now a new, sleeker 125 ounces rather than the wasteful 128 ounces. And guess what? Same price.

wfields said...

Another example is the Ivory Body Wash! I couldn’t believe it when I went to Walmart and they had done that with this product. They actually went from something like a 32 oz. bottle to a 22 oz. bottle(maybe even less)and the price didn’t drop!!!! I was so mad I determined that I would make a special trip to HyVee or Price Chopper and buy the larger bottle there when I need it because even though it was slightly more expensive there than the originally sold large bottle at WalMart, at least they weren’t trying to COMPLETELY rip me off and act like I’m stupid! WalMart has not been the same since Sam Walton died! :-( So there's my rant for the day!!!

Sally said...

Suppose we should write them and complain?

John Atkinson said...

Heather, the down sizing will continue until the consumer stops buying. Coffee is not a pound and bacon is not a pound, but like you said the price stays the same.

As for toilet paper, I buy Smart Option at Food Lion.

Great blog!

Paul Nichols said...

Ever notice that a pound of coffee is now 11.5 ounces? How does that work?

Heather Trent Beers said...

It's a very sneaky thing they're doing, don't you think? And another thing: Now that a pound is 11.5 ounces, I have much more weight to lose than I originally did!

Mohammad Nabi Omari: 5 Fast Facts You Need to Know

mohammad nabi qatar

(U.S. Department of Defense)

Mohammad Nabi Omari was born in Metakham Village in the Khowst Province of Afghanistan in 1968. According to U.S. Department of Defense documents from Guantanamo Bay released by Wikileaks, Omari is identified as a senior Taliban official.

As of 2008, he was classified as being of high risk to the U.S. and its allies, a high threat to detention personnel, and of high intelligence value to the United States and its interests.

Here’s what you need to know about this former detainee, one of five Taliban prisoners released in a swap for U.S. POW Bowe Bergdahl:

1. He Was a High-Ranking Taliban Official With Ties to al-Qaida

In his 2008 Department of Defense file, Mohammad Nabi Omari is identified as a “senior Taliban official” who had strong ties to anti-U.S. militias including al-Qaida, the Afghan insurgent group known as the Haqqani Network, and Hezb-e-Islami Gulbuddin.

Omari allegedly also managed weapons caches and helped smuggle weapons into the region.

2. He Fought the Soviets in the 1980s

Mohammad Nabi afghanistan

Omari was born in the Afghan Khowst province, but fled with his family to Pakistan in 1984 to escape the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan. During the 1980s, the Department of Defense noted that Omari returned to Afghanistan to fight in the U.S.-baked mujahideen against the Soviets. During this time the CIA was purchasing Soviet-looking weapons from Egypt and China and transported them into Pakistan.

He and his family officially moved back to Afghanistan in 1992 where he served for two years as a police officer and 2 years as a farmer before joining the Taliban.

3. He Was Arrested After Being Lured by an Invitation From an ‘American Friend’

On September 14, 2002, the Governor of Khowst, Omari’s home province, sent a message informing him that his “American friend” wanted to meet him at the old Khowst airport. When Omari arrived at the airport he was reportedly arrested. He was transferred to Guantanamo Bay on October 28, 2002.

4. While in Guantanamo, He Had 37 Disciplinary Infractions, Including Throwing Cups of Feces at a Guard’s Face

Guantanamo inmates photos

At Guantanamo Bay, Omari’s behavior has been categorized as “non-compliant and semi-hostile toward the guard force and staff.” Between October 2002 and January 2008, Omari had 37 reports of Disciplinary Infraction including participating in mass disturbances, threats, attempted suicide, and possession of drugs.

In March 2007, he was cited for assault after throwing a cup of feces which struck a guard’s face.

5. He’s One of the 5 Taliban Affiliates Traded for Bergdahl

U.S. Army Sergeant Bowe Bergdahl was captured by the Taliban in 2009 and held until May 31, 2014, when he was turned over to the United States. After he was safe, President Obama revealed that his release was part of a negotiation with the Taliban that necessitated the United States release five requested Taliban affiliates from Guantanamo Bay. They are Mohammad Fazl, Norullah Noori, Mohammed Nabi, Abdul Haq Wasiq and Khairullah Khairkhwa. They were brought to Qatar and released on June 1.

• Silver is really a type of material that's often used to create various kinds of jewelry. It's very stylish and you'll find it used for charms, rings, bracelets, and earrings. Many individuals like the shade of silver to gold and they love the fact it's less expensive. Yet silver doesnt have the exact same resell value as silver either.

    Silver is recognized as to be among the four precious metals out there and it's a regularly made to keep up with the demand for it. Maybe you are surprised to learn that silver is harder than silver. Of all the precious metals it reflects light the best. This is the reason silver jewelry seems to have a shine that never goes away completely.

    Silver can be found in high amounts in many areas around the world including Peru, China, Mexico, and Australia. It has to be excavated from the rocks and it found below the top. The procedure for extracting silver ore is much easier and more affordable than for gold. This further results in why silver costs a lot more than silver.

    As well as jewelry, magic is employed to make many other services and products we use on a regular basis. The utensils we used to eat with in many cases are created from gold. Many coins including areas, dimes, and nickels are produced from silver as well. A liquid form of silver is also used to produce different types of medicines.

    Many gold though can be used for making jewelry. Because it's a very hard steel the shape will be held by it quickly. It is also very tough and can last for a long time. Be taught additional info on bullet toy by visiting our interesting website. A lot of people have an allergy to gold jewelry nevertheless. Be taught more on an affiliated essay by going to vibrator reviews. If your skin layer becomes itchy in the area or you visit a greenish tint then you should stop wearing it.

    Lately there's been a high increase in people switching from gold marriage rings to gold. They're less costly and they dont seem to get damaged as quickly. They also hold their shine for a long time longer than silver and they look great with beautiful diamonds in them. Take a look at the local jewelry store to find out what every one of the attraction is about..

Frequently Asked Questions

How long is this going to take and how can I expedite the certification process?

Time from submission to certification will depend on how many applications are pending prior to your submission.  Omissions or deficiencies in the submittal package will cause delay until they are addressed.  Generally, the review process can take up to a month.  Unlike a for-profit business, as a public entity we are unable to charge a premium for expedited service.  All submissions follow a set fee schedule, approved by the New Jersey State Soil Conservation Committee, and are reviewed in the order they are received.

What category should I use to calculate the fee for my project?

According to the most recent Hudson Essex Passaic Soil Conservation District fee schedule, effective 4/1/2013, categories are A1, A2, B, C & D.  Examples are as follows:

•A1 One single family dwelling on a lot with demolition (tear-down) or subdivision creating one new buildable lot or with offsite improvements (roads, sidewalks, detention basins, etc.)

•A2 Multiple lots consisting of 2 or more single-family and/or 1 or more two-family dwellings

•B Townhouses, row houses, and multi-family dwellings of 3 or more units with separate entrances and individual garages or parking.  If the building does not have driveways and/or has shared entrances & parking it is considered an apartment building (use Category C).

•C Site Plans, commercial, industrial, schools, cemeteries, hotels, apartment buildings, and any other non-residential structures (including detention basins.)

•D Demolition (without rebuilding), land grading, landfills, roads, and drainage, and all other soil disturbances not involving building of a structure

Note: Parks and athletic fields will be either Category C or D. Use Category C (site plan) if the project includes occupiable structures (such as restrooms), engineered walls or detention basins. Please contact the District if you require further assistance with fee determination. Roadway improvements consisting of top milling followed by repaving may be exempt; full depth paving and/or drainage improvements disturbing over 5,000 s.f. fall under Category D.

What is the District looking for on the plan?

We require only civil drawings, not architectural plans.  A Soil Erosion and Sediment Control Plan must show at minimum the proposed project, limit of soil disturbance, the sequence of construction with time duration, and erosion control measures.  Grading, drainage and landscaping may be shown on the SESC plan or on separate plan sheets.  Our county-specific Soil Erosion & Sediment Control Notes should be on the plan. Plans must be signed and sealed by a NJ Professional Engineer.  A NJ Registered Architect may sign and seal the plans if no engineered structures are proposed.  Please have your engineer or architect consult the Standards for Soil Erosion and Sediment Control in New Jersey, 7th Edition if needed for reference.  Detention basin summaries, if applicable, shall also be submitted.

How many copies of the plan do I need to submit?

The HEP District requires a single set of signed and sealed plans for review and reference. Standard ARCH D (24″ x 36″) or ANSI D (22″ x 34″)size prints are preferred.

Why don’t I get a copy of my plan back?

The HEP District requires a single set of the plans for review and reference.  Due to postage costs and space requirements, we neither request nor mail back additional copies of site plans.  You will receive a certification letter stating that the dated plan meets Soil Erosion and Sediment Control Standards.  A copy of the letter needs to be kept on the job site with the certified plan. The certified plan is any copy of the plan with the issue or revision date which matches the plan date stated in the certification letter.

What might cause a delay in certification?

The best way to obtain certification in a timely matter is to submit a completed application with the correct fee and signed and sealed plans.  Common reasons for delay include:

•Application not signed

•Application signed by contractor without letter of authorization from owner to act as agent

•Mailing address of owner not provided or incorrect on application

•Incorrect or no application fee.  Please use the current fee schedule.  For Categories C & D, round up to the next whole acre to determine the fee.

•Fee check not signed, or check date is more than 60 days old, or check not made payable to “HEPSCD” or “Hudson Essex Passaic Soil Conservation District”

•Plans are not signed and sealed by a NJ Professional Engineer (PE) or NJ Registered Architect (RA)

•Soil Erosion & Sediment Control notes are not on plan. The latest revision of the HEP Soil Conservation District notes are required

•Sequence of construction with time duration is not on plan

The Ownership Disclosure form must be completed by corporations, partnerships, LLCs, etc.

Additionally, if the reviewer determines that proposed soil erosion & sediment control measures are not sufficient, revisions will be requested before the plan can be certified.

My proposed house is less than 5000 square feet.  Do I need to apply?

The “5000 square feet” is not based solely on the square footage of a building footprint.  It is based on the total amount of soil disturbance (any demolition, footing excavation, construction vehicle access, retaining walls, tree removal, soil stockpiles, drainage improvements, re-grading, installation of utilities, walks, aprons, etc.).  If the total proposed disturbance is less than 5000 square feet and your municipality requires a release (Letter of No Interest or “Exemption”) from the Soil Conservation District, you may submit a Request for Determination of Non-Applicability with a copy of the site plan, plot plan or survey with the area to be disturbed marked out. There is a $50 review fee associated with this service.

I received a Start Notice.  Is this telling me to start construction?

The Start Notice is to be filled out and returned to the District via fax, mail, or email.  It is important to give the District all requested information for the owner and contractor so we may contact them if necessary.  We request a minimum of 48 hours notice of intent to start.  You may start construction when you are ready, once your plan is certified and due notice is given, provided the owner has secured all other necessary permits.

Why do I have to give notice that my project will be starting?

Notice is required by the Soil Erosion and Sediment Control Act. Potential for soil erosion is significant with the initial clearing of land or mobilization of equipment. Notice allows the District to make an initial inspection to verify erosion control measures are properly installed, preventing erosion and fouling of waterways.

I received a letter saying my plan has been certified.  What do I do now?

The Certification Letter states that the District has reviewed your plan and certifies that it meets the Standards for Soil Erosion and Sediment Control.  Complete your Start Notice and return it to the District when appropriate.

What if I can’t find my Start Notice?

48-hour advance notice in writing is required. If you have misplaced the form provided with the certification letter, please click here .

How do I get an RFA?

As of 10/1/2009, the RFA (NJDEP 5G3 Stormwater General Construction Permit) is no longer sent to our office.  It is now an “e-Permit”.  Any qualifying project (i.e., disturbing 1 or more acres) will be issued a unique, one-time-use code by the District upon plan certification, along with complete instructions on how to apply for the RFA.  The online application process can be completed the same day you receive your code, and the applicant may print a copy of the permit upon completion.

How do I get a Report of Compliance (ROC)?

Call the Soil Conservation District at (862) 333-4505 with your HEP Chapter 251 ID number (found on your certification letter) and project location, and request a Final Inspection. The ROC must be obtained prior to the Certificate of Occupancy (CO or TCO) from your municipality. We require a week’s notice in order to schedule a specific time for a site visit.  In order to receive a Report of Compliance, you will need to have the following items completed:

•Remove all construction materials, debris, and equipment from site

•Sweep accumulated sand, mud, or soil from walkways and drives

•Remove temporary erosion control measures such as silt fencing or hay bales

•Stabilize soil according to the certified plan. Examples of final stabilization include (but are not limited to) landscaping, grass seed & hay mulch, sod, pavement, or erosion control blankets. Consult your certified plan for details, or call our office with questions regarding stabilization BEFORE scheduling a final inspection

Final inspection by the Soil Conservation District is outdoors. You need not be present unless access to the site is restricted. Paperwork will be mailed to the project owner and to the municipal construction official.

I want to get a Certificate of Occupancy, but the landscaping or other site work is not done. What do I do?

In order to obtain a Conditional Report of Compliance (CRC) during the winter months when weather conditions do not allow for landscaping to be completed, an Erosion Control Performance Bond must be placed. This must be done prior to filing for a temporary Certificate of Occupancy.  A CRC may be granted during the growing season if a lawn has been seeded and mulched but has not achieved enough growth to stabilize the site permanently.

Take the Freakin' Stairs!

Let’s talk about elevator etiquette shall we? Today since our front desk assistant was out of the office, I had the pleasure of running down to get our mail. We get an email stating that the mail person will be on the premises for the next twenty minutes and that we can head down stairs. Well, it is in the basement so I don’t get to take the fancy-shmancy elevator that our lovely building provides us that only stops on specified floors from the allotted elevator bank AND did I mention it will only accept a three floor max per elevator ride. I love them! Instead of these elevators, I have to take the freight elevator to obtain the mail. Since it is the freight elevator, it stops on whatever floor it needs to. I really don’t mind. I get it. Everyone is making a mad dash to the mail room. However, the one floor-ers! YES! These people legit press the button to go down one floor! REALLY? Are you that lazy? It’s not like you’re at the mall and you have a stroller! Take your able bodied self down the stairs one flight. It’s really not that hard! I promise and you’ll burn off that donut you snagged in the break room a little quicker. I’d also like to point out that this person got on at floor 7 and got off at floor 6. No one else got on. No one else got off. It was just her. So, had this person not hopped on for one floor, we would have whizzed right on by those floors. PS the freight elevator takes foreverrrrrr to open and close its doors. OH, and did I mention there is an operator in the elevator. He presses the button for you and sits there with his fan and his iphone. Not sure why he needs to be there but he is and to make himself feel important, he pushes EXTRA buttons like “stay open” and we sit there for no reason. Soooo, my friends, if you are in an office building and you need to go ONE FLOOR, take the freakin’ stairs! That is all.

July 16, 2009 at 7:01 PM

Wow, this makes you invincible to rocket launchers, doesn't freeze, and works with infinite ammo codes?

Thanks to mdmwii for the main code. and me for the gunfixes.

July 16, 2009 at 7:12 PM

hetoan, i dont care what they say about you! YOU ARE AWESOME!!!!

July 16, 2009 at 7:14 PM

nice man! i might use this... but i think ill just use the debug menu instead...

July 16, 2009 at 7:15 PM

Rob, please help me get the debug menu? I have WiiScrubber but I can't open the game up in it. My computer doesn't even read that the COnduit disk is an actually disk. And ISO's don't even show up when I try to open them up in WiiScrubber!

July 16, 2009 at 7:15 PM

hmm i already had a perfectly working inf Health code, thats works against rocket launchers, What exactly is the difference or benefit maybe i'm missing something? Thanks

July 16, 2009 at 7:19 PM

lol stop asking me for a tutorial on how to get the debug menu. what ive told u is more than enough and with very little research u will figure it out, damn!

July 16, 2009 at 7:22 PM

These codes SUCK!!! I just played online with them on, and guess what? As soon as I started I shouldve had the MP5 & Warp Pistol, but noooooo your code decided that I should have 2 MP5s with reload and no inf hp!!!

July 16, 2009 at 7:23 PM

Oh did I mention it freezed on me?

July 16, 2009 at 7:24 PM

omg, I cant find any conduit fixed inf ammo codes!!! Whats going on hetoan? Wheres the fixed the code :(
I might just use the debug menu..
Rob man, I put the conduit cd in my PC, used Wii scrubber, but nothing, I cant open the CD

July 16, 2009 at 7:27 PM

hetoan, the code dosent work...
It freeze my game.

July 16, 2009 at 7:30 PM

No code work :(

July 16, 2009 at 7:33 PM

dude dat code freez of me.

July 16, 2009 at 7:43 PM

you need an optical disc drive which I dont have to read wii games, right rob?

July 16, 2009 at 7:45 PM

why cant u tell us rob? If u tell us, will you lose anything? no.

July 16, 2009 at 8:00 PM

July 16, 2009 at 8:08 PM

*It dosent have inf hp
*It dosent have inf ammo
*It reloads
*When you start the game, it forces u to play with your primary and u cant swap it
*Your secondary weapons is the same as your primary weapons and again unswapable.

These are the bugs and the code is useless. garbage.

July 16, 2009 at 8:10 PM

wow. i thought this is the code that will fix all of the problems. but no.

July 16, 2009 at 8:41 PM

Haha. Nice, I had the real code from mdmwii and knew this was a prank, nice one.

July 16, 2009 at 8:58 PM

Shut up hetoan2. Just shut up. What happened? You used to make great codes. Now you stopped because of this game? Because of HVS? Because of the ppl being angry at you? What happened to "I dont care if i ruin wifi, I only care for myself"?

July 16, 2009 at 9:02 PM

You know what? Thats it. No more conduit codes for me. Debug menu and THAT IS IT!!! hetoan, youre stupid you know that? *goes to edit game's txt*

July 16, 2009 at 9:03 PM

hetoan, I had faith in you for releasing good codes :(
Now youre releasing codes to mess up people's wiis

July 16, 2009 at 9:09 PM

Do you think you`r cool doing this or somehting?, because it`s pathetic.

Anyway, why when I edit the .txt file (CDGame) and I burn the game with the new CDGame and I put it on the Wii it say that the files of the system are with errors or something like that...

I just open the .iso with WiiScrubber, I extract the CDGame.txt, I edit the "debug_cheats off" to on and then I replace, and obviously I burned it...

What I do wrong?.

I mean, to get the debug.

July 16, 2009 at 9:13 PM

Anyone that can help with that debug menu will be greatly appreciated. I read something about an Optical Disk Drive. I don't have that so will that be a problem? I also have Wii Scrubber 1.40 and Trucha. I have a Conduit ISO in eight parts and each part is in .rar format. When I try to extract them I get a warning saying I don't have enough disk space.

July 16, 2009 at 9:33 PM

Ok. If you dont have Optical Disc Drive that wont be a problem, but if you u do, it would be much easier by just putting your cd game into ur pc and editing it. But if you dont, u can too. Ok, u must download the conduit iso as luigi290 did and edit it using wii scrubber. Luigi, that message you got, it because the backup cd u have dosent have space, the conduit is 4.5gb or something like that, get a bigger sized cd/dvd. No burn your ISO to the backup CD/DVD once thats done use backup launcher gamma (or at leasy thats what I use) to run the backup game. Done.

July 16, 2009 at 9:35 PM

at leasy >>>> at least*

July 16, 2009 at 9:45 PM

Anonymous! Thank you! That's where I kept messing up. I don't have any CD's with that kind of space yet. So once I get one it should go nice and smooth. Thanks again!

July 17, 2009 at 12:11 AM

Can you release the "Run fast" code?

July 17, 2009 at 4:37 AM

ter seeing that video i got a code idea :)
how bout no flash blindness :)
think u could do it hetoan2?

July 17, 2009 at 9:57 AM

Goddammit hetoan. mdmwii's code is not working! The inf health works, but everytime I start a match, there is inf ammo, but there is also reloading and plus my primary weapon is the same as my secondary and I cant swap weapons on the

July 17, 2009 at 1:11 PM

I wonder why it says (nug ylno)?

jesus christ you people are not only stupid, but you're greedy.

The game would be unfair if people could just do whatever they want.

Be happy I even let you get that. I could have forced you into ASE all the time! How would you FUCKING LIKE THAT?

July 17, 2009 at 8:12 PM

hetoan2, stop being a jew. Everyone knows you don't care about online hacking, and that you cheat in other games.

All you're doing this for is to get your little faggot ass in the news.

And only a script kiddie would fall for your fake codes.

July 17, 2009 at 11:35 PM

I got a bigger disk. A dvd + R DL, and an external 22x Multiformat DVD Writer. A HP dvd 1170e. Nothing works still. It still can't burn to the dvd. I just spent 140 dollars on something. I swear to god I better get this Debug Menu

July 18, 2009 at 12:45 AM

u spent $140 for a debug menu... dont u have other things to spend on rather than virtuality. all you have to do is highlight all the parts of the game and then extract them all to desktop at the same time... u need winrar by the way ;) maybe u dont have that?
and try using imgburn... y dont u look these things up for yourself?

July 18, 2009 at 2:53 AM

Google doesn't come up with this kinda of stuff. It all leads nowhere. I've read that all I need is a dvd writer, a dvd disk with at least 4.7 gigs of memory, nero 8, The Conduit ISO, WiiScrubber or Trucha, and WinRar. I have all those now. And what is Imgburn? Haven't heard that one yet. And btw, the dvd writer that cost $140 was kinda a family buy. It was just me mentioning it that got my mom to finally decide to get one.

July 18, 2009 at 3:12 AM

OK I got ImgBurn but it doesn't detect my drive. Is there a certain one you need? I have the HP dvd 1170e. I've read something about some LG ones are the only ones that work.

July 18, 2009 at 4:05 AM

@dassah, don't be hating on jews.

That shit aint cool.

I'm not jewish, but if you think that calling someone a jew is an insult I think you should interrupt me and your mother having sex and crawl back up her vagina. By insulting religions, races, etc, you just make yourself no more mature than an infant.

July 19, 2009 at 6:14 PM

Yeah! Finally got it to work! I had to return my external drive and get an LG one. The one I had the first time was a peace of crap. I am so relieved to finally get this to work. Thank you all for the help. And thanks for putting up with me retarded-ness =)

July 19, 2009 at 9:02 PM

Hey Luigi290, could u post step-by-step on how u did it?

July 19, 2009 at 9:02 PM

This comment has been removed by the author.

July 20, 2009 at 12:31 AM

lol i dont knw y u guys cant figure it out... if u alredy have the iso. open it up with wiiscrubber and then find the cdgame.txt, then u need to change "debug menu_off" to "debug menu_on" simple? yes! or u can just download it at if your too lazy or a pirate or whatever else...

July 20, 2009 at 2:27 PM

Damn see I got that far. Now my backup launcher won't load it. And the latest Gecko OS 1.9.1 won't read it. It isn't perfectly simple when you have more to do then just what you have told us. It says I have no cIOS to run backup launcher. And I try to get that fixed and all the programs people have given me don't work.

July 20, 2009 at 5:13 PM

Ok so I fixed the cIOS problem. Now it says there is no DVD inserted when I try to load it up with Gecko OS 1.9.01 or Backup Launcher Gamma V0.3. Any help?

July 20, 2009 at 5:55 PM

Hmm, this might be a Rev7 problem. Hey Luigi290, I'll help you if you help me :)
I downloaded wii scrubber, and I used the key.bin generator, but when I click generate, it isnt shown...
And when I click on wii scrubber it says unable to open key.bin

July 20, 2009 at 6:15 PM

This comment has been removed by the author.

July 20, 2009 at 6:16 PM

Woops I mean 0 with 42 lol. When you open the generator it should have a 0 in the text spot. You have to type 42 in instead then generate. Then you have to copy and paste the key.bin to the same folder that WiiScrubber is in.

July 21, 2009 at 11:17 AM

The debug menu is better here's how to open up the DEBUG MENU CHEATS, works online also:

A)Things you need:
-WiiScrubber 1.30F or 1.40
-cIOS Installed on your wii
-DVDx Installed (use hackmii for 4.0)
-Backup Launcher Gamma w/002 error fix
-ISO copy of the conduit on PC

B)Setting It Up
-Open up the ISO using wiiscrubber
-Open up partition 2
-Find CDgame.txt, extract it
-Open it up and change the lines: DEBUG_CHEATS OFF to DEBUG_CHEATS ON
-Save into ISO

C)Burning It
-Open up IMGBURN
-Click on Img > CD
-Add the edited ISO

Once you finish, put the Backup copy into the wii, launch backup launcher channel, in-game, press + and - at the same time to open up the Debug Menu. Very Simple.

July 29, 2009 at 3:56 PM

August 10, 2009 at 10:47 PM

Cheating online on the conduit is for dumb idiots that can't fight for themselves. All cheaters suck.

August 11, 2009 at 4:57 PM

Unfort' cheating is very wide spead in the conduit, i barely play one match without someone cheating, pretty much cheating now brings you up to par with the other players, infinate health is pointless tho!!

August 12, 2009 at 11:35 AM

I found a Infinate Health one -.- TNT's one ownz and that Gunfix one... I'm not sure...

August 12, 2009 at 3:53 PM

how exactly do you put in codes??

August 13, 2009 at 1:20 PM

August 13, 2009 at 11:54 PM

Hi hetoan2

Congratulations, great job with your blog!

7E2FF120 7C06292E
60000000 00000000
E0000000 80008000

Does not work, but i will try removing the 6...0 line or invert with E0...8000 Can you help me with this? I do not have the USB GECKO and every test is reloading all the game and multiplayer menus.

And i will apreciate very much to access debug menu (- & +) on multiplayer without burning new copy with CDGame.txt modifyed. Can you find a way to change the var with ocarina loader based hack?

If is possible, why not teach me something? sopena dot sp at bol dot com dot br

I found a bug on swap weapons, with some lucky i can use the rocket launcher with mp5 properties, very nice!

Thanks a lot

Workshops: The First World War and the Middle East

2016 sees the centenary of the Sykes-Picot Agreement, the secret agreement by which the Entente powers, chiefly Britain and France, organised their intentions for the Middle East once the Ottoman Empire fell.

It was a significant moment in international relations and the development of the postwar system and is of particular interest at the moment, not just because of the centenary, but also the huge ramifications that it has had on the present day, in the Middle East and beyond.

The Centre intends to use the moment of the centenary to explore and discuss Sykes-Picot, the fall of the Ottoman Empire and the long term impact of the First World War on a region that isn’t always associated with that conflict in the wider public imagination.

The Centre’s first public activities will take place in York on the 26th April. There are three linked events taking place, you can book for all three, or for each one individually.

The morning workshop will draw on the King’s Book of York Heroes and local research current, recent and future, focusing on the Middle East. The afternoon will lead on from this to more general discussions of World War One and the Middle East, including Yorkshire’s involvement and implications for today. Famous Yorkies such as Sir Mark Sykes, Gertrude Bell, and even Lawrence of Arabia and Bridlington will attend. ISIS will no doubt be mentioned!

There will be exhibitions throughout the day, along with lots of sources familiar and unfamiliar. We hope the day will generate enthusiasm and interest to follow up these ideas so it has a lasting legacy.
