Chocolate Banana Bread Recipes

Chocolate Banana Bread Recipes

Did you know that April 15th is not only tax day but also National Banana Day! To help you celebrate the day with a tasty but healthy twist, we wanted to share a few of our recipes using Great Grains Banana Nut Crunch. Post provided us with a sample to create their Chocolate Banana Bread Recipe that uses no other than their Great Grains Banana Nut Crunch. I have made chocolate Banana breads before and each one has a little different tweak than the other. With the addition of the cereal both in the batter and as a topping it provides a little extra crunch that the other chocolate banana bread recipes don’t have. So I am sure you have a banana somewhere in your house, either on the counter getting over browned or awaiting you in the freezer perfect for making banana bread recipes.

 Quick breads are the perfect recipe to get rid of over ripe bananas and most recipes can be baked in muffin tins to speed up the cooking time. Quick breads also freeze really well. I am not sure about this one with the cereal topping but it was gone before I could freeze any.

There is nothing unusual about this recipe all can be done in a bowl. post-great-grains

Here comes the extra boost of whole grains. Adding 2 cups of Post Great Grains Banana Nut Crunch Cereal to the batter.

Then you can make the crunchy topping that I added an additional 1/4 cup of mini chocolate morsels.

Then wait the 50 minutes or about 25 for muffins to dig into this recipe:

Here are 5  banana recipes using whole grains:

2018 Year in Review

By January 7, 2019 No Comments
compilatioofimages form 2018 - Mt Hood, Milan

It was an exciting and productive year for us at We launched a new website which has been generating interest in our mission. Shortly after that, we introduced a short, and as it turned out all too timely video about emergency preparedness and evacuation procedures especially for those living in a suburban/wildland interface areas. I also collaborated on a short video for Marin Villages honoring their members over 90 years old and traveled to Oregon to shoot segments for new films that you will see soon. In March, I was on a senior symposium panel presented by Vanguard Properties called “Should I Stay or Should I Go.” Assemblyman Marc Levine chaired the panel which included Lisa Brinkmann, the Executive Director of Marin Villages as well as others offering financial and practical advice for addressing those questions.

We also posted many articles on social media. We compiled a list of some articles exploring where and how we’ll live as we grow older which we felt were worthy of further review. Many others have been posted to their pertinent categories in the More Info section of the site.

Please let us know what you think and if there are any areas you’d like us to cover. Best wishes to all for a healthy, fun and interesting new year.

about mrs. stepford

Hello, Dear Swans,

Thank you for stopping by! Let me begin by sharing a little bit about myself: I believe in the power of embracing femininity in order to empower, enliven, and enrich women’s lives. In the last few years, countless young women have confided in me expressing concern about their abilities to attract and maintain relationships with emotionally available, financially stable, quality mates. An equally pressing concern is the fact that many (myself included) were never taught the art of womanliness, the rite of passage into marriage, and/or how to smoothly manage their romantic lives, households, and families.

Stepford University began as a dream, and is now a living, breathing reality.  As a young woman, I was educated in the finest of schools, and even taught how to properly interview for my dream career – but my social education was lacking. My mother(s), aunts, and grandmothers never explained to me the dance of dating young men, or the delicate balance between womanly strength and overbearing independence; I headed blindly into relationship after relationship making the same mistakes until I hit a wall.

After nearly 10 years of unsuccessful dating and a series of heartbreaks, I took matters into my own hands and read everything I could. I attended workshops, seminars, classes, and even received coaching from leading relationship experts and therapists. After 2 years of apprenticeship, I finally began implementing the lessons I’d learned while cultivating new friendships with eligible young men. Within a year, I was engaged  (to my now husband), with a solid wedding date in place.  But within 6 months of marriage, I was drowning in sorrow again. The man I married was not who I thought he was, and my heart was crushed. No one ever told me what to do when disillusionment set in. What was I to do?

Regardless, I promised myself not to become stressed and desperate to feel loved and accepted- instead, I dug deep to rediscover my confidence, competence, and security in my womanhood and femininity.  I realized that this new found security would not (and could not) come from having a man, however, it was refined by my relationship with one. Only this time around, I knew how to keep him interested: through a careful balance between all of the different facets of me, a lady, a chef, and a courtesan.  Soon, other young women began approaching me to learn about my transformation. I found myself teaching them the very lessons I’d learned years before.

Over time, as a married woman, I have learned many difficult lessons about myself, my husband, and married life in general. In the midst of all of these changes, one thing has remained the same: being a newlywed is one of the most challenging times in a person’s life. Few women are aptly prepared for life before, during, or after dating, let alone marriage. As a coach, it is my goal to work with women in each stage of their romantic lives in order to help them to aptly prepare themselves to receive the desires of their hearts.

Stepford University is a unique learning environment where women of all ages can safely engage in communal learning about the nuances of family/relationships, femininity, sensuality and sexuality- while also learning time-honored methods of effective self, household, family, and relationship management. Stepford University is the result of a vision held by countless women around the world who desire intimate, loving, traditional marriages with strong, caring, family men.  Welcome to our sisterhood, where great wives are made!

Wraiths are a unique type of spirit similar to shadow free spirits in that they appear to feed off intense emotion. Unlike other free spirits, however, wraiths have the ability to steal karma from others to increase their Spirit Energy. They do so using their unique Karma Drain ability.

Wraiths generally appear as amorphous clouds of black or gray mist, illuminated from within by a deep violet light. They manifest in mist form or as a tall, dark figure wearing tattered robes, surrounded by mist. Wraiths seem drawn to scenes of intense violence, since they provide the best opportunities for “feeding.” Their native metaplane is unknown, and wraiths have proven completely immune to summoning and banishing using Conjuring. Whether or not wraiths have true names like other free spirits remains a matter of conjecture. If they have, no one has ever discovered a wraith’s true name.

Wraiths use their powers of Compulsion, Fear, and Influence to inspire violence among other intelligent beings. Once it has caused a being to commit an act of violence that results in at least one box of damage to another intelligent being, the Wraith may begin to drain Karma from its victim. The victim permanently loses 1 point of Karma Pool for each minute under the Wraith’s influence. This Karma is added to the Wraith’s total and may be used to increase its Spirit Energy.

Wraiths often enter into partnerships with corrupt magicians and even mundanes. Such relationships are always temporary. Once the wraith strips its follower of all his or her Karma Pool, it moves on, usually inspiring a new follower to kill the previous one.

Wraiths avoid direct confrontation, prefering to work behind the scenes. If faced with an overwhelming opponent in combat, a wraith usually retreats to its home metaplane, vanishing from the physical and astral planes entirely to a place where no one can follow it, then returning to the physical world at a later time.

Stone Bridge Pedestrian Crossing – road damage creates an opportunity to act

When the Friends of the Westbrook & Stonebridge Pond were working in the Westbrook on Sunday we noticed that there is an area of the road surface on the Stone Bridge that is significantly depressed. I’ve circled it in this image:
Since this will need to be repaired, it occurred to me that we could take the opportunity to implement the footway widening/roadway narrowing work that I’ve proposed in a previous post. This work could even be done on a temporary basis and it would allow us to study whether a permanent solution would work or not.
The depressed area is close enough to the existing kerb that it would, I think, be entirely within the area that would be taken up by a widened footway on the north side of West Street:
What I noticed on Sunday and again when I stood there this morning, is that a widened footway in this location gives pedestrians much better sight lines both south east towards vehicles approaching from Tanners Street and, especially, west down the length of Dark Hill/West Street.
Since it may be that the depression has been created by the gradual collapse of the historic bridge, then taking this area away from the heavy, breaking loading of vehicles may simply be a good idea in itself.
It would be a shame for public money to be spent on a repair that could likely be reduced in cost through an alternative approach.

  1. Makes eminently good sense to me. Have you passed this on to Highways Dept and Town Council? See you Friday G

  2. Tim, Is there any sign of “Roof Collapse” within the smaller of the two culverts ? We have had various discussions previously about the apparent blockage or restriction within. Regards, COJ

    1. Chris – both culvert pipes appear to be clear. At least they are now that we have removed a large polystyrene box from the western one of them. The concrete culvert pipes run within the historic arches of the bridge. It may be that the historic arches are degrading but, from what we could see, they are not apparently damaging the concrete pipes. But we didn’t undertake a thorough inspection – only what we could reach with basic tools.

This report presents a strong case for how perspectives and findings from the behavioral sciences prepare medical school graduates with the conceptual framework to address complex social challenges. Through a grounding in behavioral and social science, graduates are better prepared for comprehensive, patient-centered practices that address health and health care disparities.

Add to Wish List

Designed for medical educators, clinicians, and students interested in behavioral and social science foundations that support clinical work.

This report is designed to open a dialogue with medical educators, clinicians, and students about the nature of clinical work and the foundations in the sciences and methods of behavior and social science that support aspects of that work.

A learning outcomes template gives medical schools an outline to incorporate the concepts of the behavioral and science sciences in their curricula; the teaching methods section provides the means for incorporation. It includes:

  • An outcome-based model of competence development.
  • The CanMEDS and ACGME Core Competencies to illustrate that the “time based” model of learning is no longer adequate.

5-Spiced Soy Braised Duck — Whip It UP!

By: Jessica Ham

Lor Ark, or Soy Braised Duck is a Teochew classic but it’s also eaten in homes of other dialect Chinese. This is often served to mark special occasions.

Total Time: 3½ hours
Cost: $12.00
Difficulty: 3/5
Serves: 3-4

A: Braising Items

½ duck (approx. 530gm), cut into half, washed
4 teaspoons 5-spice powder
2 tablespoons oil
5 cloves garlic, peeled and bruised
3 shallots, peeled and sliced
Thumb-size ginger*, peeled and sliced
3 star anises
1 cinnamon stick
2 tablespoons thick soy sauce
70g rock sugar, to taste
½ teaspoon salt, adjust to taste
½ teaspoon ground white pepper

B: To Rid Duck of Gamey Smell

1 large lemon, thickly sliced
½ teaspoon salt
2 litres water

Photo: Evonne Lyn Lee

1. Rub salt all over duck. Put it into a large mixing bowl filled with water. Squeeze lemon juice into the bowl; add in lemon as well. Let duck soak for 1 hour. Drain and set it aside. Discard water.

Soak duck in lemon-scented water.

2. Bring 2 litres of water to a rolling boil over high heat. Place duck into boiling water for 15-20 minutes to remove any impurities and blood. Remove duck and pat dry. Rub 5-spice powder all over the duck including the cavity. Marinate for 30 minutes.

Rub duck with 5-spice powder.

3. Heat up oil in a wok or medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir fry garlic, shallots, ginger, star anise, cinnamon stick until aromatic.

Clockwise: Sugar cubes, salt, ground pepper, 5-spices, cinnamon stick and star anise.

4. Add duck and fry until light brown on both sides. Pour water in to cover duck — this ensures the bird is cooked evenly.

5. Add soy sauce. Season to taste with salt, pepper and rock sugar. Taste sauce to adjust seasoning before removing saucepan from heat. Lower heat. Let duck simmer until meat is tender, around 1½-2 hours.

6. Check duck periodically, adding more water if required. To test if the duck is cooked insert a satay stick or skewer into the thickest part of the drumstick. If juices run clear, it is cooked. However, if the meat is tinted with blood, continue cooking until it is fully done.

7. Serve duck with steamed rice or porridge.

TIP: Substitute ginger with galangal (lengkuas) for earthy, citrusy aromas.

TECHNIQUE: Soaking duck in a lemon-water solution aids in stripping the bird of some of its gamey odour. Ginger or galangal, garlic, shallots and 5-spice powder are additional ingredients that work together not only to mask the odour but also to flavour the braising liquid.

This is what it's really like to get your teeth whitened

By Abigail Malbon|

Teeth before and after treatment. Image: Supplied
Thinking of getting your teeth whitened for the first time? Here's what to expect…

In a world of quick-fix treatments and cult face serums, spending money on beauty is as normal, for some, as the weekly shop.

But when it comes to cosmetic dentistry, many still view treatments as pricey and invasive; despite some weighing in at around the same price as a night cream.

For years, I've wanted to get my teeth whitened. When rent and bills are gone, my hard-earned cash tends to go on clothes (far, far too many clothes) and socialising. So, I started to think, if I'm happy to spend on a jumper that I might not wear after next season, why wouldn't I splash that little bit more for the perfect smile?

Then I realised: it's because I'm scared. Teeth are precious. I work hard to keep mine healthy, and sure, they might not be perfectly straight and white, but the dentist tells me I'm doing okay every six months. Would I really want to jeopardise that?

Well, I'm nothing if not a gambler. When a close friend began raving about her recent teeth whitening experience, I decided it was time to bite the bullet (or mouthguard, as it happens) and try it for myself. She had hers done with Sparkling White Smile, and they looked great. A natural white, but definitely gleaming.

I wanted some of that gleam for myself.

Sparkling White Smile founder Alison Egan. Image: Supplied

I got in touch with SWS; the company founded three years ago by then-21-year-old Alison Egan when she decided the cosmetic dental industry needed to be more accessible. Since launch, Sparkling White Smile has become a cult brand with an Instagram following many social influencers would be jealous of – think pictures of gorgeous girls smiling at the camera, cocktail in hand.

SWS promise a smile 5-14 shades lighter in just one visit, and will even come to your house to do the treatments. Many of their technicians are qualified dental nurses, and with prices starting at just $300, it's a more affordable option than a dental surgery.

So, I finally went for it, and reader: I do not regret my leap of faith. My teeth are noticeably whiter, but I'm in no danger of blinding someone when I open my mouth. A few weeks down the line, I'm still enjoying my new look and even getting complements. Here's everything I learnt from my experience…

How does teeth whitening work?

The treatments vary slightly from company to company, but Sparkling White Smile use a simple gel and laser technique.

The highest-level use peroxide gels legally available for use in Australia (outside of dental surgeries), are applied to teeth before being activated with a laser accelerator lamp. The whole process takes around two hours.

Does it hurt?

No, but you should be prepared to feel uncomfortable. However, it's worth noting that I do not have sensitive teeth.
A plastic mouthguard will keep your smile wide during the process, and allows the lamp to reach your teeth properly.

On the plus side, being stuck in the same position for two hours will give you plenty of time to contemplate important things, or have a little nap.

A mouthguard will be used throughout the process. Image: Supplied

How long will the teeth whitening effects last?

Three weeks after my first treatment, my teeth are still white.

Customers are encouraged to have a follow-up session six weeks after the first treatment, after which 6-12 month top-ups are all you'll need to keep your smile bright.

Is there any aftercare involved?

For 48-72 hours after the treatment, you're encouraged to eat solely white food so as not to run the risk of staining teeth. After that, you can drink coffee to your heart's extent (although, of course, this is likely to stain eventually…)

SWS will give you an aftercare package, including temporary toothbrushes for the first two brushes after the treatment and a gel to apply twice a day.

Would I do it again?

Hell yes! I had to go without shopping for a month, but it was totally worth it.

Dateline Kohima India

P1020591                                                                                ceremonial gate

Handy Tips, Info & Insights

Kohima has a helipad but is not directly connected to any other place either by rail or air. You could travel by road or take the train from Guwahati to Dimapur a distance of 250 kms/ 4hrs. From Dimapur, the commercial capital of the state it is a further 70 kms.  The road is good & the drive scenic. The roughly 2hr journey costs Rs 80 by bus, 220 in a shared taxi & 800 by private car. You are dropped off at the NST – Nagaland State transport – in the heart of town. Local buses & black & yellow taxis (all Marutis) are available at a minimum of Rs 80. There are no auto or cycle rickshaws.

It is a crowded mid size town with crazy traffic that snarls through the day. Restaurants & coffee shops are few & nothing to write home about. The ‘Ozone Café’ near Naga Bazaar was pretty decent but it did not open until noon. Which means that there simply is no ‘breakfast place’. Also, there are no parks or bars as liquor is banned – enjoy the rice beer, instead.

DC Heritage Bungalow

Despite the big & small hotels there is a real paucity of accommodation especially during the Hornbill festival in December when occupancy shoots up & there isn’t a room to be had. Nagaland tourism advertises homestays but there is a wide discrepancy between rates quoted & prevailing. What the tariff includes is also a bit hazy. Most often rooms do not have attached toilets. Toilets are generally clean but without running water. You may also never get to share a family meal. This, when tariffs are at par or higher than that of the hotels.

The DC Bungalow, now a heritage hotel is strongly to be recommended not only for its rooms but also for food & service. The rates are extremely reasonable & it is beautifully located.

Homestays are an experience nevertheless & well worth trying out. One gets a feel of the pulse of the people & the place. In any case it all depends on how well the inter action goes. I had a neat & clean room with the Wiso family at Naga bazaar. We had long interesting chats over cups of tea & coffee with smiling little children flitting in & out not to forget the squealing pigs & crowing at the crack of dawn

Nagaland is Christian majority. There are Christians of all denominations with churches scattered everywhere. Until the arrival of the American missionaries in the early 20th century society & culture was Animist. Without music & drinks it seems rather joyless now.  The church exercises a rigid control. Sunday is strictly a day of rest so plan it well. No taxis ply.  You will be charged return fare for a cab to the airport or to the station. You may not even get a cup of tea anywhere.

The Church actively discourages family planning. Most couples have 4 children on an average. Families are larger in the countryside.

Aids & drug awareness slogans adorn billboards.

There is little Hindi but English is widely understood & spoken.

The beauty of Nagaland lies in its quaint & charming villages. There is Kohima village adjoining the town, also Kisama (a fake showcase village), Phesema, Zakhama, Kigwema & several others within an easy 30 kms radius. The weather is lovely & the girls beautiful.

Because of a largely salt & meat diet many of the elderly suffer hypertension.

The Policeman here is as elusive as the London Bobby for there is hardly any crime. One doesn’t even hear of petty theft

It is lovely to stay connected while on the move. Updating status on Facebook, posting pictures & keeping abreast

What one cannot help but notice is the near total disconnect between rulers & ruled. Nagaland feels like it has been left in the backyard. The local government- corrupt & rapacious, while the writ of the banned Underground rules. There is an organized extortion racket in place where the Naga Underground collects tax. All government servants, policemen included, have to pay one month basic salary. It is also the reason why shops close so early (7.30 – 5.30). Every shopkeeper shells out anything between 10 – 50K.

Kohima village

Kohima village

There is no shortage of water yet whole colonies go without. Tankers fill the streets. Water has to be bought. My hosts buy 1000 cc, at Rs 500 every week. This is besides the water from the bore well that is pumped up daily. Each member of the family makes do with a bath on alternate days. In fact a lot of time goes into the ritual of collecting & organizing water for the day. Any wonder then that the local lad looks confused & dumb when asked for directions to the Raj Bhavan or Tourism office? Nobody knows or cares.

There is also the perennial question of the “inner line permit”. Is it or is it not a prerequisite? Tourist brochures insist it is compulsory but I roamed around freely without one. Neither did I see or encounter any checking. Nagaland tourism please clarify.

Weaving my way through Naga bazaar, in search of an address, it feels like Sausage land. Creepy Crawlies  on sale everywhere. Nothing, it appears is inedible.  Platters of dog meat line the sidewalk. Animal entrails hang in the air.  Intestine. Lungs. All minimally cooked & eaten with relish, for the region boasts no culinary skills whatsoever. Unlike other meat loving areas where food is painstakingly cooked aided by an assortment of aromatic spices & garnish, here it is simply a matter of putting it into a pot of boiling hot water with a dash of chilly & salt. And, Hey presto, a meal is ready. Eaten with rice it is delicious too. By all accounts.

So what do we have here? Grasshoppers. Insects. Both enemies of  agricultural crops. The variety is astonishing as is the price. Frog, snail & caterpillar at Rs 200/Rs 200/Rs 300 a kg. Well, snail is good for the eyes. Or didn’t you know. Pork goes for Rs 170. Beef is at 120 & chicken 150.

Frogs Snails CaterpillarsP1020556 P1020557

This information was gleaned from my host Zhavi Wiso. “Sorry,” I tell him.  I don’t mean to be rude but I just gotta know “.  He can’t see what the fuss is all about & readily gives a low down.

Cow is reared for meat & dung. Not milk. A cow in Nagaland is small in size & yields  little milk.

Pigs are reared for meat. They are healthy & clean & slaughtered during festivals to be distributed among friends & neighbors.

Dog meat @ 400 is a delicacy. It comes from dogs reared in farms in Assam & smuggled across the border.  60 – 70, put into sacks & transported in an Alto. (The north east accounts for the largest sale of Maruti cars in the country) If caught  police levy a charge of Rs 70 an animal. Call it a fine, tax, bribe or what you will.

And not only is it a delicacy, but is a cure for malaria & tuberculosis as well.

My contact in Assam vehemently rubbished this story. There were no dog farms, he said. “The Nagas enter our villages like marauders & make off with the strays. Fed up with the menace the locals sell these for a fast buck sometimes.”

By now I have turned vegetarian, inside out & crave some comfort food for sustenance. There are ‘Rice Hotels’ galore. So called, because they serve only rice/not roti, together with  —-you know what. They look dingy & uninviting. This option is therefore completely ruled out. At the Ozone Café later in the day I have a passable vegetable sandwich with a mug of steaming hot coffee & music for the soul. On the way home I pick up small eats & a Naga cake (made out of rice flour) This is to be breakfast for the next 4 days as most restaurants in Kohima do not open until well past noon. A vegetarian can easily subsist on a diet of sandwich & noodles. The helpings are large but you would be hard put to locate the vegetable in the dish. Quite surprising really as there is plenty to be seen around the market

Much to our amusement Mr Wiso Senior expounds on his philosophy of food.

Why did God create plants?    For animals

Why did God create animals? For man

Why do other people die of animal/insect bite?   Only because it is not part of their diet

Asked to explain the anomaly of his keeping a dog as a pet, Wiso pats Snowy on the head & says: “ O, we can eat our pet. We often do. I once ate mine after keeping him for 4 years.”

Then with a twinkle in the eyes.” If pet disobeys we give capital punishment”

“ Does it not sadden you?”

“ I once tried to hammer a dog to death but missed. Instead of the head I hit him on the face & saw tears roll down his cheeks.

(This is the preferred mode I discovered. Was witness to it once & man was it grisly!)

That day I felt a little sad……. But I ate …………..

Silk worms. I do not eat”

Here’s Your Ultimate Moving Overseas Checklist

Moving overseas is an exciting event and could mean a new career, opportunity, or adventure. To make sure your international move goes smoothly, it’s important that you have a plan in place so you can enjoy the experience. This ultimate checklist will provide you with a step-by-step plan to help make sure you have a stress-free transition across international borders.

1. Get the Right Documents

The first step in any international move is researching the proper documents and making sure you have everything you need to get them. The reason this is such an important step is because it helps you save valuable time when you have each document you need in place. That means knowing where each document is and storing it securely in a place where you can easily find it before your international move.

Set aside these important documents:

  • Adoption papers.
  • Birth certificate.
  • Child custody papers.
  • Divorce papers.
  • Driving license(s).
  • Marriage certificate.
  • Passport. You can also bring your passport card if you are traveling moving to a new country in North America.
  • Social Security cards.
  • “No-Claims Bonus” (NCB) record. This is a document provided for your overseas car insurance company that rewards you with a discount for making no claims on your car insurance. Make sure you have this document on hand if you plan to drive in your new location so you can prove you have a claims-free record and can receive a discount on your car insurance.
  • Medical and Dental Records (including insurance cards and prescriptions). Gather copies of your health records, including your medical history, immunization records, insurance cards for your medical, dental, eye and/or disability insurance. Also, make sure you have copies of your prescriptions for your medication and disability records.
  • School records/University papers. If you or your family members will attend school overseas, make sure you bring copies of your school records, including school transcripts and/or a homeschool portfolio and grade reports.
  • Other insurance policies and legal documents. This includes any legal documents, such as your power of attorney, will, trust, health power of attorney, medical consent forms and any other important notarized or legal documents.
  • Financial records. Make sure to bring copies of your bank statements if you don’t have access to them online to prove your income, as some countries, such as Thailand, may require you have a certain amount of money saved before you move overseas. Also, have copies of other important financial records, such as your income tax statements and financial statements for any business you own.
  • Other travel documents. This may include your passport card or any other important travel documents you may need, such as your work permit or custom forms.

2. Don’t Forget Fido

When you’re moving your pets overseas, it’s important to make sure you have all the necessary documents in order. You also want to make sure your pets are prepared for the move by getting them cleared for travel by your vet. Here are some steps and paperwork to take care of for your pets before your international move:

  • Verify requirements. Before you head overseas, make sure you verify the new country’s requirements for moving your pets. Make sure your pet is allowed to come into the country. Some countries, such as Australia and New Zealand, restrict the importation of certain pets, such as birds, ferrets and the American pit bull terrier. Also, some countries require immunizations and clearance within a certain time frame before your pet is allowed to enter the country. Your pet may require quarantine depending on the country you move to and its live animal importation laws.
  • Immunization records. Gather all of your pet’s shot records together before your international move. You’ll need it to prove your pet’s immunization history. Make copies for the international moving companies that will also coordinate your pet’s overseas move.
  • Health certificate. Your veterinarian can provide you with a veterinarian international health certificate.
  • Get a pet carrier. Whether your pet is traveling by air or sea, you’ll need a proper pet carrier to transport your furry friend. Your airline may require a pet carrier, so make sure you check with your airline’s restrictions and requirements before well in advance. Also, pick up one that’s IATA-approved so you can avoid possible delays.

3. Get a 3-Month Start

Now that you know what documents you should have in order, it’s time to establish deadlines to accomplish the most important tasks. If possible, give yourself a three-month head start and get these tasks completed.

  • Decide on a timeline. If you’re moving your family or loved ones overseas, it’s important to decide when everyone is moving. Consider your budget and schedules to determine if it makes sense to move everyone at the same time or to settle in your new home before the rest of the family comes. You may require time to get familiar with the new environment along with work or everyone’s schedule may not allow for the change. Also, ensure you take the time to map out a timeline for completing each task, including considering the length of time required to complete the task. For example, you may need more time than you think for the approval process for moving your pets, so budget your time wisely.
  • Start Saving. If you haven’t already, start setting aside extra funds for your international move. It can serve as an emergency fund should you need to take care of any last-minute expenses.
  • Review tax obligations. Just because you move across international borders doesn’t mean you’re removed from your tax obligations. If you are a United States citizen or permanent resident, you are expected to pay taxes no matter what country you move to or work in. The good news is that there may be provisions to help lower your tax liabilities. For example, you may be eligible to deduct up to $104,100 for the 2018 tax year under the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion tax deduction. There are also tax provisions for homes you own or rent overseas, too. Make sure you make an appointment with your tax professional to consider your tax obligations before you go overseas.
  • Consider property insurance. If you are purchasing a home overseas, it’s crucial to buy property insurance. Also, consider getting rental insurance to ensure your belongings in the home are covered from damage if you’re renting your home.
  • Think about storage. If you’re handling storing your belongings on your own, make sure to research the costs.
  • Focus on healthcare. Healthcare can become a major unexpected expense in a new country if you’re not properly prepared. Make sure to do your research and contact your current provider for advice based on the country you’re moving to and any current healthcare needs you have. You may opt to purchase international private medical health insurance to cover you and your family if you’re not receiving healthcare benefits from your employer.
  • Don’t overlook additional insurance. Think about other insurance, such as travel insurance and life insurance, so you can ensure you’re covered on all ends.
  • Schedule your insurance and appointments. Book any medical or dental checkups you or your family needs now. Also, set up your insurance coverage once you select what you need. Some insurance plans require you make your selection before a certain date in the month so that it’s valid for when you need it. So, make sure you verify cut-off times and procedures.
  • Research and book temporary housing. You may need some extra time to settle in your new home overseas before your belongings arrive. So, make sure to research potential places to stay on a short-term basis and book it early so you don’t risk losing out on a deal or having no place to stay.
  • Think about your housing. Consider how long you will be at the new location and decide whether or not it is best to continue to rent your current home, sell it or cancel your apartment lease.
  • Apply for your visa and passport. Now is the time to take care of the application procedure for your passport and visas. The time it takes to get a visa approved depends on the country, so double-check the deadlines for where you’re going. Also, renew your passport if you haven’t already so you can avoid paying additional to expedite the application process.
  • Gather your documents. Get copies of the original documents listed above, such as your passport and medical records. Also, request any necessary school documents or records if you have children.
  • Plan your visit. If you have the time and budget, schedule your flights for a pre-move visit. This makes it easy for you to scout schools and a place to live in person.
  • Research schools. If you’re planning to attend school or have school-aged children, it’s time to research schools in the area of your new home abroad. Start by finding out the country’s requirements for education so you can ensure you’re in compliance. Also, verify that your location has reliable Internet service if you’re planning to attend school online.
  • Set up an in-home survey with your mover. Reputable international moving companies will review the moving process with you and determine what they can and cannot move from your home. They may also be able to spot items that require moving, such as items in your garage or basement. Here’s a useful international moving infographic that illustrates what you can expect from your international mover.

4. Research International Moving Companies

Before you make your big move, it’s important to enlist the help of professional international moving companies that have experience with the moving process and regulations for the country you plan to reside in. That’s because laws are different for each country. It’s critical to research the international companies you plan to use before you make a commitment.

Here are some tips for selecting an international mover who is right for you:

  • Compare Three or More International Moving Companies. Compare quotes from at least three overseas moving companies. Determine the packing materials they use and what their full-package services cover.
  • Look at their licenses. A reputable international mover isn’t afraid to show you their license. Consider using international moving companies that have a license to transport your belonging across seas with the Federal Maritime Commission or a FIDI license.
  • Find out who moves your items. Knowing who will be moving your property is important. You don’t want to work with any company with a poor history of theft from hired contractors. Inquire about who the company hires to move your valuables. Find out about its vetting process, including whether or not it requires any background checks.
  • Consider storage. If you need storage, find out if the international moving companies you’re considering offer this service and the costs for storage.
  • Select your mover. After conducting thorough research of the overseas moving companies, pick the international mover that best meets your needs. Make sure to do this at least three months in advance. Overseas moving companies can book quickly, especially during high-season months in the summer.

5. Know Who to Notify

You will need to update a few organizations or people before you move. Here are some common ones to consider:

  • The U.S. Postal Service.
  • Your bank.
  • The United States Embassy.
  • Utilities companies (Electric, Gas, Solar)
  • Social Security Administration.
  • Tax Agencies (IRS/Tax agencies abroad).
  • Insurance providers.
  • Your employer.
  • Friends and family.
  • Your landlord/realtor.

6. Take on These Important Tasks One Month Before Your International Move

With just one month left before your big move, there are some tasks you definitely want to handle. Don’t overlook these very important tasks:

  • Cancel your subscriptions and inapplicable insurance policies. This is the time to cancel any service you don’t need or won’t be able to use when you move. That includes any streaming services, such as Netflix or Hulu. Cancel insurance policies that won’t apply abroad. Also, don’t forget to cancel your cable so you can avoid being charged in advance for the upcoming month of service.
  • Set up mail forwarding. Also, update important parties about your new mailing address, such as the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and your bank.
  • Take care of financial tasks. Determine if your bank has a branch in the new country. If not, make sure you research and sign up for a bank account that can accept your paychecks or direct deposits. Get the routing and bank account information so you don’t delay getting paid.
  • Request your NCB. Have your car insurance company prepare your No Claims Bonus (NCB) statement.
  • Have your medical appointments. Make sure you are checking off your appointments to see your dentist, eye doctor, therapist and/or medical doctor. Ask about the medications you’ll need including the generic names of the medication. Also, arrange to get the original documents of your medical history transferred and/or get copies.
  • Sort and donate. Sort through any clothes, art, shoes and any other belongings you have and decide what you’re bringing with you. Anything you plan to leave behind or don’t need should be stored, sold or donated.
  • Visit your new location. If you have time, take a trip to your new location across seas. You can preview the neighborhood and visit popular destinations. Also, visit any new schools you or your family members will attend and the location of your new job or business.

7. Contact the International Movers

The international movers you contracted with are your key coordinators and helpers who can assist you with having an easy transition to your new home abroad. Make sure to contact them before your overseas move and take care of these important steps:

  • Confirm your appointments. At least two to three weeks before you leave, reach out to your international move coordinator and review the move in detail. This includes confirming any applicable permit bookings for parking and elevator entry as well as appointment confirmations.
  • Review your final contract. Go over any minor details in your contract, including the name of the company or contracted international movers that are being used.
  • Verify document receipts. Make sure all necessary documents are received.

8. Know What to Take Care of Two Weeks Before You Leave

Here are some important tasks to handle two weeks before your international move:

  • Give friends and family your new address. This is the time to share your new address with your friends and family so they can send you mail or know where to find you when they visit. This is also the time to let any friends and family members who you may have not told about your move know that you’re going to live abroad. Make sure to notify them so they have time to say their “goodbyes” without feeling rushed or so that you don’t feel overwhelmed.
  • Set up bank account transfers. Contact your bank so you can ensure your account transfers properly.
  • Visit your vet. Take your pets to the vet for any required immunizations, such as rabies or booster shots. Also, make sure you have your pets checked out to ensure they can safely travel across seas.

9. Make Last-Minute Arrangements One Week Before You Go

With just one week left in the moving process, you’ll likely come across a few last-minute arrangements to make and different tasks to handle. Take care of these tasks the week before your international move:

  • Get cash. Withdraw cash or purchase traveler’s checks so you have access to money instantly.
  • Contact your card companies. If you plan to use your credit or debit cards, make sure you contact the card company to let them know you are moving overseas so you can ensure your purchases are authorized.
  • Confirm your flight. Review your departure times and luggage restrictions for your flight. If you possible, check into your flight later during this week so you can save time with boarding.
  • Confirm your appointments with your international movers. Review your appointment time and confirm it with your international movers to avoid rescheduling it.
  • Take care of any uncompleted tasks. Anything that you haven’t already handled should be taken care of this week. This is the time to review this Moving Overseas checklist again and make sure you take care of everything.
  • Pack. Pack your belongings, including clothes and shoes you plan to wear on your trip. Label your items using a color-coded system. If you have children or pets, pack their belongings last so you don’t miss any crucial items.
  • Celebrate. Take time to celebrate your move with friends and family during your last week.

10. Get Ready for Moving Day

Before you move, make sure you pack some essentials that will keep you cozy on your plane ride. You also want to ensure you have everything you need, so make sure to review your packing list. Consider packing the following:

  • A blanket.
  • Your valuables.
  • Toys or games for children.
  • Daily medications.
  • Carry-on bag.
  • Pajamas.
  • Extra socks and underwear.
  • Books or other reading material.
  • Your phone.
  • Headphones.
  • A sleeping mask.
  • Earplugs.
  • Gum.

11. It’s Time to Move!

It’s finally time to move, so it’s important to know what to expect on your moving day. You should also know what to check for, too. Handle these tasks, and you’ll be on your way to a smooth moving day:

  • Check for your international movers. Your international movers should have an easily identifiable vehicle, so make sure to check for IDs, company logos and licenses to make sure you are working with the right people.
  • Know what you shouldn’t have your international movers pack. If you have any hazardous materials, moving day is not the day to tell your international movers. Packing of these materials should always be arranged in advance to ensure proper shipping and handling. Also, avoid having your international movers pack your perfume, jewelry, food, money or medication to avoid any potential issues.
  • Unlock your mobile phone. Make sure your cell phone is unlocked and get a SIM card when you arrive in the new country for cheaper rates.
  • Sign on the dotted line. Review the fine print of any documents before signing them.

12. Make Yourself at Home

Congratulations! You’re finally in your new home. But before you settle in completely, make sure you take the necessary steps to unpack your items carefully. You also want to get to know your new neighborhood by exploring it.

  • Verify all items were unpacked. Start by unpacking your most valuable positions first, such as your children’s birth certificates and medical records. Double-check that all the important documents listed on the Moving Overseas checklist are present.
  • Take a home tour. If you have children or pets, it’s a great time to take a tour of your new home so they can get familiar with it.
  • Be a neighborhood explorer. If you haven’t already, it’s definitely time to get out of the home and explore your new environment. Get to know your neighborhood by exploring the local shops and farmer’s markets.
  • Meet your neighbors. Get to know who you’re living next to and arrange to meet your neighbors. It’s a great way to get comfortable and make new friends.
  • Relax. You deserve to take a few moments to yourself after a big international move. Make time for rest and relaxation and enjoy your new home.

Thursday, Jun. 13, 2002

In corporate America, morality tales are everywhere. A company that was once touted as the nation's most innovative is now bust. Its accounting firm is on trial. Investment houses scramble to explain the perfidy of their most highly touted analysts. The stock market tanks amid fears of widespread corporate fraud.

The dramas of the legal world are minor by comparison. But a story has been unfolding over the last few months suggesting that the time is right to reflect briefly on the current state of the legal profession and the damage done it by the now shattered bubble of the 90s.

The once high-flying law firm of Brobeck, Phleger, and Harrison is coming apart at the seams. Some months ago, the firm - which became famous for riding the tech boom to enormous growth and supercharged profits - announced that it was laying off substantial numbers of associates in response to the economic slowdown.

More recently, more than 20 partners in the firm, including those who controlled a big chunk of Brobeck's securities practice and the immediate past chairman of the entire firm, announced their defection to Clifford, Chance, a large British-based firm. Reportedly, these partners are taking the stunning sum of $75 million in business with them - and the stench of a potentially nasty future lawsuit already hangs in the air.

The Trends That Marked Law Firms' Evolution in the 90s

It is too soon to say whether Brobeck's woes mark a turning point in the business of law. But it is certainly true that Brobeck embodied and symbolized many of its worst trends. Perhaps Brobeck's fall from grace will inspire private practitioners - from first year associates to the senior partners of premier law firms - to reconsider the structures and goals and law firm life.

The Problems of Overwork: From Burnout to Bill Padding

Generally speaking, this has been a bad deal for lawyers and clients alike. Although starting associates make $125,000 or more a year, they have to work incredibly long days and frequent weekends just to meet the minimum hourly requirements, much less achieve distinction.

The enormous press of work has any number of doleful effects. First, it deadens associates to the craft of lawyering. People living on the edge of burnout rarely do their best work - both because they lack the reflective time necessary to learn and grow as a lawyer, and because it's so difficult to take pleasure in work when there is so darn much of it to do.

Even more pernicious, an annual hours requirement in the 2200 billable hour range encourages anyone without the strongest moral fiber to start padding bills. To work 2200 billable hours means really working at least 2600 hours - which amounts to 50 hours or more per week every week of the year. When the choice is between having some small semblance of a non-work life versus buffing the daily time sheet, lots of associates make a very human but wrong choice.

All of these effects cheat the client, either because the firms provide work that is not as good as it should be, or because they charge too much for the product that is delivered.

Why Even Partners Suffer When a Firm is Overworked

Partners don't do so well under the system either. In many firms, they work just as hard, sometimes even harder than the associates - which means that, just like the associates, they probably aren't doing their best work or obtaining real satisfaction from that work. Fewer and fewer lawyers take on pro bono clients or pursue other forms of community service. How can they? Many partners don't even have adequate time for their families.

Despite the sacrifice, it's still impossible for these partners to achieve what all too often seems to be the goal - namely, to get rich. With a few minor exceptions, lawyers are hourly wage earners. It doesn't take a math genius to figure out that this compensation structure, even when pushed to limit, will never make lawyers rich - at least as that term has come to be defined in the last decade.

Lawyers don't get stock options or other forms of meaningful equity. And, accordingly, their compensation (except for that of a handful of rainmakers), tops out at perhaps a million dollars a year even at the very most successful firms. That's a princely sum; some might say a disgustingly large sum. But it isn't real money in the view of lawyers watching their clients take early retirement. In other words, it doesn't solve the envy problem.

An Upside to the Economic Downturn?

It is far too much to hope, of course, that the decline of Brobeck will usher in a new era of contentment in the legal profession - one based on a saner, less money-driven, more achievable set of hopes and expectations. But I know a lot of lawyers, both associates and partners, who would trade fewer (more productive) hours for less money and a richer life.

Although no one cherishes an economic slowdown, the economic conditions that caused Brobeck to nosedive do present an opportunity. With the bursting of the tech bubble, law firms no longer have to compete for talent with Internet start-ups. For the most part, the easy money stock option days are gone as well. In short, lawyers have less to fear and less to envy - and perhaps that will give them the freedom to remember again those satisfactions of the profession that have nothing to do with money.

The final checklist before completion

Newly-built or converted properties are known for minor defects or "snags" caused by poor workmanship or equipment. A snagging survey also known as snagging list or snagging inspection is a report prepared prior to completion. The purpose of a snagging list is to identify defects in your home for your house builder to fix.

Stone Survey has many years of combined experience in Snagging Surveys and have inspected hundreds of properties over the years. We ensure that your move into your new home is coupled with the peace of mind that a highly qualified and independent company has checked the property.

A snagging survey could save yourself thousands of pounds by identifying snags in your property. If these snags are not identified then you could end up with a problem property. On average twenty snags are found for a house or flat, sometimes many more.

A snag can be a small defect or problem that remains after the building work has been completed on the property. It is typically something that is damaged or broken; not fitted properly or looks unfinished. It can also include more major defects like faulty sockets, major cracks and even major structural issues.

Snagging Survey Summary

We inspect the property internally in detail, within every room and will include roof spaces or outbuildings if specifically part of the property. We can provide a snagging survey, prior or after purchase, usually prior.

Once the snagging survey has been issued, we remain available to provide you with ongoing support & advice and further inspections if needed. We only work for the purchasers of new build homes and not for house builders to avoid any conflict of interest.

If you are considering instructing a Snagging Inspection, please do get in touch and email us at or call 020 7100 7087.

Spring and Sunshine

Spring uplifts my depression

The sun shines and awakens something inside me

New life springing up, trees budding, warmth beating down on the earth

Dark clouds no longer hang over my head

Rejuvenated and feeling like a brand new person

Sleep now comes easy

Hopelessness has turned into a promising future

Gloomy days are now filled with cheerfulness

Unimaginable pain has been uplifted

Despondent now hopeful

Seasonal affective disorder can be so debilitating

But once it has lifted life will return to normal

Never lose hope
Never give up
Never give in

Spring shall return

Just as sunshine does

Join a great bunch of writers over at Carrot Ranch each week who write a 99 word (no more, no less) flash fiction from the prompts that +Charli Mills gives us. This week the prompt is to write a story about a snapshot of spring.

This poem was written today in recollection of how I was feeling a year ago.
