Historic Summit in jeopardy as Kim threatens to cancel his meeting with Trump
News Analysis |
Just 15 hours after North Korea proposed a high-level meeting between delegates from both Koreas to map out the further proceedings toward Korean peace process, Pyongyang decided to cancel it at the very last moment. The reason cited for the surprising, albeit not unexpected, the move was the ongoing US-South Korean Air Force drills called "Max Thunder". North Korea's vice foreign minister went ahead to state that even the goodwill has a limit.
He termed the intentions behind joint exercises where both United States and South Korea have deployed 100 fighter jets as to make a pre-emptive airstrike" and "win the air." Kim Kye-Kwan, the South Korean negotiator for the peace process, stated that North reserves the right to reconsider the already planned summit behind the head of states of North Korea and the USA next month in Singapore.
The statement is no less than a shock for the world in general and for US and South Korean administration in particular as the peace process was, apparently, making progress leaps and bounds.
Though North Korea itself has got dubious history when it comes to making commitments regarding denuclearization it differs from Iran in the regard that it has already achieved the feat which Iran was willing to.
Last month President Moon of South Korea met Kim Jong Un in the demilitarized zone, an event which made waves for several days. Both leaders shared the sense of responsibility to bring a lasting peace for the people of the Korean peninsula.

In the bid of trust-building measures, it was decided that North Korea will no conduct nuclear tests and long-range intercontinental ballistic missiles. To substantiate the claim, DPRK invited international journalists to witness the shutting down of its only known nuclear site. Both sides are also removing the loudspeakers installed alongside the border and DMZ previously used for spreading out propaganda.
The United States has been taken aback with the North Korean stance over the military drills. Initially, Kim Jong Un said that he will be considerate of the fact that joint military drills are the part of the long-term understanding vis-à-vis security situation between the United States and South Korea. But the stern response as far as Max Thunder exercises are concerned says something otherwise.
"If the United States is trying to drive us into a corner to force our unilateral nuclear abandonment, we will no longer be interested in such dialogue and cannot but reconsider our proceeding to the D.P.R.K.-U.S. summit," said North Korean vice foreign minister. United States has given a calculated response stating the US is committed to the scheduled meeting and approaching toward the summit as planned.
The reason cited for the surprising, albeit not unexpected, the move was the ongoing US-South Korean Air Force drills called "Max Thunder".
North Korea feels that it's a unidirectional flow of goodwill and confidence-building measures as it is expected to shut down its entire nuclear program without anything being offered from the other side. DPRK is adamant that the US should start extraction of its forces from South Korea as the overture toward absolute denuclearization of the Korean peninsula. "The South Korean authorities and the United States launched a large-scale joint air force drill against our Republic even before the ink on the historic inter-Korean declaration has dried. We will be closely watching the attitude of the United States and South Korean authorities," the official Korean Central News Agency said.

It is also believed that Donald Trump's decision to walk out of Iran's nuclear deal has played a role is Kim Jong Un's scepticism toward US intentions. Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPA), what Iran's nuclear deal is officially called, was considered as one of the prime success stories of what United Nations, in its essence, was established for.
But US president Donald Trump bowed before Israeli vested interest and lobbyists taking a route contrary to his western allies. Though North Korea itself has got dubious history when it comes to making commitments regarding denuclearization it differs from Iran in the regard that it has already achieved the feat which Iran was willing to. The prevention phase has passed long before, which has given North Korea a substantial backing.
The threat to terminate the summit way before the scheduled date could actually be just a hoax by North Korea to increase the leverage before going to the negotiation table. Nevertheless, it is certainly a bump in the drive toward permanent peace which Kim Jong Un was smoothly steering so far. It is his, Kim Jong Un's, reputation on the line which he is so anxiously willing to transform from an instinctive autocrat to a composed statesman. He will certainly not let go the efforts he has been putting so far to reach this mark until and unless he feels like it's a total lose-lose situation for North Korea, going down the lane of dialogue and negotiations.

Holiness Cannot Be Mass Produced
The artisan is as important as the ingredients used.
By Rabbi Scott Perlo
What Was the Tabernacle (Mishkan)?
Commentary on Parashat Ki Tisa, Exodus 30:11 - 34:35
When talking about the traveling temple in the desert, called the Mishkan, or Tabernacle, the Torah describes a sweet-smelling essential oil with which the Mishkan, everything in it, and all who served in it were to be anointed. Partly of cinnamon, partly of myrrh, cane and cassia, with a whole lot of olive oil, it sounds amazing. At least Judaism smelled good back then.
All this artisanal is stuff is very cool, and the oil was made in a manner that's still used today: The perfumer took the different plants named and ground them by mortar and pestle, after which they were dissolved into water. Olive oil was added, and the whole thing was cooked in a double-boiler — where the water evaporated and the oil, combined now with the spices, would remain. The process hasn't changed much in three millennia.
However, the verse that describes the making of the oil is a kind of a puzzle. It is oddly redundant and a bit strange. I've cut it into three pieces below for effect:
"Make of [these ingredients] an oil for anointing the holy
– a perfume that is perfumed in the manner of a perfumer –
an oil for anointing the holy will it be."
Take a close look at the verse: It repeats itself in at least two different ways. The idea that the oil is for anointing holy things both begins and ends the sentence in nearly identical language, and bookends the description of the oil-making on both sides.
Look at that phrase in the center of the verse. It's tough to point out something in Hebrew when writing in English, but the same Hebrew root is repeated over and over, "a perfume that is perfumed in the manner of a perfumer," or "incense that is incensed, the work of an incenser."
This root, rekach, is the same one you'd use whether in perfume-making or in a pharmacy: It always refers to is the same skilled manner of preparation, how botanics and other materials are turned into compounds using fire and chemistry. Both are a science, and, especially back then, an art.
Still, it seems like a single word would have sufficed here, two at most. It is a perfume; it should be prepared by a perfumer. So why does the Torah repeat the root three separate ways?
By using the root three ways, the person, the process and the product are all brought to our attention. This partial verse points out that the holy oil is a unique thing, a compound. It was also created through a specific method, a craft. And, finally, the process takes a skilled individual, a craftsperson, one who knows how to make essential oils. When one looks at the language that surrounds these roots, the implication is that, without any one of the elements, the oil would not be holy.
Person, process, product. In contemporary mass production, what we see are the end results, and the consumer is ignorant of person and process. Most of the products we buy and use come to us stripped of the history of how they were made and who made them. Even in biblical times, one can assume that there were goods and commodities whose making and maker seemed irrelevant.
But the Torah teaches here that they are not irrelevant; holiness cannot be factory-made. To be more precise, one can't sever the connection between the person, the process and what is produced in the end. It isn't enough just to have oil composed of the right ingredients: It is the individual human being and the craft employed that make it "an oil for anointing the holy."
Even in spiritual spaces, there can be an assumption that people are interchangeable. There can be a belief that whatever spiritual experience is at hand — prayer, study, yoga, meditation, song — that the experience should be consistent no matter who is present. Though the ingredients of a particular spiritual experience always remain the same,the Torah suggests here that the subtle differences that each individual spirit brings are necessary; without that uniqueness, holiness cannot be.
The division and structure has been open to interpretation throughout history.

Christopher John (Boyle) Cornell: July, 20th 1964 - May,17th/ 2017. Blatant Fabrications.
May, 1st/19. (RIVISED OCT/22)
The circumstances surrounding Chris's passing remain shrouded in falsehoods.
What I've presented entirely so far with my thoughts, feelings and opinions on Chris's death did not please everyone.
Several things with Chris's abrupt passing I couldn't ignore and I had to speak my mind, a powerful obligation to be his voice. Chris, a fellow Cancerian, who's not only greatly inspired me with his music, but had also expressed and demonstrated triumphs over the darkness he's lived with. A desire for change, a desire to continue creating more music and especially, a desire to live.
What I feel deeply for Chris I hadn't realized I harbored until the morning of Thursday, May,18th/17.
With that, I have utmost respect and condolences to close friends and family of Chris's. One of many artists who' I deeply value. With the unlikelihood of anyone of significance to Chris to come across all that I've written here, I hold no ill intentions and I'm simply one among several Soundgarden fans who felt a tremendous that day.
" You don't know what drives somebody to do that, but if I ever committed suicide, I would do it in a way that meant no one ever knew that it was suicide - because to me, the biggest fear of killing myself would be what it would do to my friends and family." "If things are fucked enough that I want to kill myself, the last thing I want to do is go out and really fucking hurt a bunch of other people." - Chris Cornell in 1994 reflecting on the death of Kurt Cobain; Tales from the Crypt! 55th paragraph.
Chris by Jesse Frohman. One of my favourite photographers.
"If I think about the evolution of my life as it appears in songs for example, Higher Truth is a great example of a record I wouldn't have been able to write, and part of that is in essence because there was a period of time there where I didn't expect to be here. . .,"
"And now not only do I expect to be here, and I'm not going anywhere, but I've had the last 12 years of my life being free of substances to kind of figure out who the substance-free guy is, because he's a different guy. Just by brain chemistry, it can't be avoided. I'm not the same, I don't think the same, I don't react the same. And my outlook isn't necessarily the same. My creative endeavors aren't necessarily the same. And one of the great things about that is it enabled me to kind of keep going artistically and find new places and shine the light into new corners where I hadn't really gone before. And that feels really good."- Chris Cornell in 2015.What Chris Cornell Has Said About Depression and Addiction published May, 18th/17 under OVERCOMING ADDICTION.
Photo by, Casey Curry.
Christopher John Cornell: July, 20th/64 - May, 17th/17.
I absolutely do not believe Chris ended his own life on the night of Wednesday May, 17th/17.
I absolutely do not believe Chris abused any prescription medications nor illegal drugs from the beginning of his healthy, productive sobriety to the last year of his life.
I absolutely do not believe Chris suffered an alleged relapse in 2016 claimed only by his wife Vicky Karayiannis.
Anecdotal evidence, conjecture and the over exaggeration of prescription medications have been used to support Chris's supposed suicide. The claims of prescription drugs, illegal drugs ("track marks" story heavily suggested by TMZ) the quick ruling of suicide and the hasty cremation of Chris I continue to hold issues with.
Post-Mortem Report & Circumstantial Breakdown I published.
#NOMOREBULLSHIT: Dismissal of the Official Ruling. . .
Chris's Shoulder Injury.
Two different news articles were published on Feb, 21st/2018. Vicky states that Chris endured a shoulder injury and was prescribed benzodiazepine to help him sleep. Variety erroneously notes benzodiazepine as a painkiller while Canoe, correctly notes the medication to treat anxiety.
Vicky says that his behavior changed after he was prescribed the painkiller benzodiazepine, approximately a year before his death, to help him sleep after a shoulder injury. -Variety.
Chris Cornell's widow has called out the rocker's doctor for prescribing him a drug deemed unsuitable for recovering addicts to treat a shoulder injury a year before his death.The Soundgarden frontman, 52, had been sober since 2003, but his wife, Vicky Cornell, reveals he suffered a relapse in 2016 – and she believes that ultimately led to his suicide in May 2017."
Approximately a year before he died, he was prescribed a Benzodiazepine (anti-anxiety medication) to help him sleep," she told TV show Good Morning America. "He had torn his shoulder. He complained that the pain in his shoulder would wake him up." -Canoe.
Chris Cornell's widow has called out the rocker's doctor for prescribing him a drug deemed unsuitable for recovering addicts to treat a shoulder injury a year before his death. Cornell, 52, had been sober since 2003, but his wife, Vicky Cornell, reveals he suffered a relapse in 2016 – and she believes that ultimately led to his suicide in May, 2017. -Noise11.com. Published Feb, 22nd/2018
In all three articles, it is stated that benzodiazepine was prescribed to Chris to treat his shoulder injury, but the fact of the matter is, benzodiazepine is not prescribed to treat painful bodily injuries.
What are benzodiazepines? -Drugs.com Benzodiazepines are a class of medications that work in the central nervous system and are used for a variety of medical conditions, such as anxiety, seizures, and for alcohol withdrawal. Benzodiazepines appear to work by blocking excessive activity of nerves in the brain and other areas in the central nervous system. As a class, benzodiazepines are similar in how they work in the brain but have different potencies and durations of actions. Because of this, some benzodiazepines work better than others in the treatment of particular conditions. Common examples of benzodiazepines include alprazolam (Xanax), diazepam (Valium) and lorazepam (Ativan).Common benzodiazepine uses:
-for sleep
-to induce relaxation and loss of memory of medical procedures or surgery
-to reduce anxiety (anxiolytic)
-panic disorders
-to treat or prevent seizures
-alcohol withdrawal treatment
-muscle relaxant
Chris indeed suffered a "severe shoulder strain" during his second Songbook Tour back in 2013; 3 shows in total were cancelled in order for him to recover.

Chris Cornell postpones Delaware how do to injury. Published Nov, 27th 2013
Chris Cornell cancels remainder of tour due to injury. Published Dec, 4th 2013
What shoulder injury was Vicky referring to? Did Chris injure his shoulder again in 2016, the same year she claimed that he relapsed, or was it the same shoulder injury Chris sustained from 2013?
The Exercise Band.
The video clip (published August 9th/2018) I found is from John Spiro. Spiro stated that the band was for shoulder therapy, and that "the resistance band was 5feet long looped around the neck most likely 4 1/2 feet" and was part of a 3 piece kit. That was his response within the video when I asked him what brand the red band was. When I inquired again about the brand of the exercise band, Spiro responded back stating that the band was "no longer available" and that "the anchor was sold separately".
John Spiro stated in his video description that "The same exact resistance band and anchor that was used on Chris Cornell."
The band being part of a 3 piece kit explains the presence of the 2 other bands, green and blue, photographed at the scene.
"BOLLINGER" & "BIONIC BODY". . .
The brand of the exercise bands photographed in Chris's hotel room is Bollinger while the carabiner clip & door anchor are of the brand Bionic Body.
The Bollinger band was used with the Bionic Body, 2 piece accessory kit (carabiner clip & door anchor) in Chris's supposed suicide by hanging.
Separately, the two brands have different uses:
BOLLINGER.

One handle to the Bollinger bands removed and replaced with the door anchor and clip. (Bionic Body)
*Note the multiple intended uses for the Bionic Body door anchor, as well as the placement for a resistance tube in the loop of the door anchor.
*Opposed to the images depicted of the door anchor at the scene.
View of the door anchor outside the bathroom door.
*The door anchor was placed in the wrong way.
The loop of the door anchor is intended to be at the front of the door.
The image below of the door anchor outside the bathroom door, supposedly with the carabiner clip jammed in place between the top of the door and door frame.
The two images below (outside the bathroom door) supposedly demonstrate the band pulled from inside of the bathroom (Chris's alleged hanging) thus caused the door anchor to be pulled into the closed door and door frame. *This also is supposedly with the carabiner clip jammed in place between the top of the door and door frame.
View of the carabiner clip on the top of the bathroom door from outside the bathroom.
*Further examination and dismissal of the demonstrated "hanging" in part 1 of my post #NOMOREBULLSHIT: Dismissal of the Official Ruling. . . under "Partial Suspension"
To conclude, observing the "hanging" demo depicted in the photographs from the scene, strongly indicates the items used (the Bollinger "HEAVY" red band with one of its handles and the Bionic Body door anchor and the carabiner clip) were manipulated and the scene staged, appearing as though an apparatus was used as a method, allegedly by Chris, to commit suicide by hanging.
A Personal Replication.
I replicated the "noose" with a band from my own resistance tube kit.
This grey "heavy" resistance band of mine has a maximum resistance of 100lbs. My own body weight of 140lbs would indeed snap the band! Also with my band, the measurement was just like Spiro's measurement of the red band "5feet long looped around the neck most likely 4 1/2 feet."
The "noose" at the scene.
The bands are color coded to indicate resistance: LIGHT, MEDIUM & HEAVY. The red tube labeled HEAVY for resistance.
Chris's Shoulder Injury. (continued)
Going back to my question from earlier, What shoulder injury was Vicky referring to? Did Chris injure his shoulder again in 2016, the same year she claimed that he relapsed, or was it the same shoulder injury Chris sustained from 2013?
Referring back to the two articles linked above, Chris Cornell postpones Delaware show do to injury & Chris Cornell cancels remainder of tour due to injury, Chris strained his shoulder in 2013 and cancelled 3 shows of his Song Book tour of 2013 in order to rest! Whether or not Chris took medication in 2013 to relieve shoulder pain I can't say. However, due to Chris's committed sobriety from 2003, I strongly doubt it.
From what I've gathered, Chris's possession of resistance bands for possible aid in physical therapy makes sense. Chris's strained shoulder was reported to be severe in 2013, and perhaps the injury carried on mildly for three years. Healing times for physical injuries vary from the amount of physical activity one engages in.
Seemingly, Vicky referred back to 2013 of Chris's shoulder injury and allegedly, Vicky mentioning Chris's strained shoulder of 2013, would serve as a legitimate reason as to why Chris "would be back" on drugs.
Benzodiazepine as an aid for sleep and relief of pain was evidently misinterpreted in Variety.
Touring while in "excruciating pain?"
Had Chris's shoulder strain been painful enough that he "couldn't sleep", and according to Vicky, reported in Noise11.com prescribed, "Benzodiazepine" to help him sleep a year before his death, though benzodiazepine is not prescribed to treat physical injuries, he sure as hell went through the painful agony while touring world wide for 56 shows during the Higher Truth tour in 2016, (Personally seeing him live, remarkably fit and strong on Sunday, July, 24/2016) Before that, 29 shows in 2015 solely for his North American tour for Higher Truth, which the majority of the time, Chris physically played all of his acoustic guitars with no qualms.
Additionally, there was the first time reunion tour for the 25th anniversary of Temple Of The Dog, also taking place in 2016. Then, there was the one night anti-inaugural ball of 2017, Chris's arms raised and wide out at times, clapping, Chris jumping and at one point, Chris diving into the crowd, arms out and all.
Anti-Inaugural Ball 2017.
Audioslave's full performance starts at 54:00.
Lastly, the short Soundgarden 2017 Spring tour with Chris energetically (excluding the last show in Detroit, not entirely energetic) moving around to all songs, pacing the stage, gripping the mic and PHYSICALLY PLAYED all of his guitars.
Oh, also in 2015, Chris performed with the Seattle Symphony Orchestra.
No cancelled shows of the last 3 years of his life. No agonizing pain laced over his face due to a bodily injury that I can find.
Cardio and Isometric Workouts.
Regarding fitness, this is what I've read,
So you decided to get back into shape. What did you do?
"I prefer not to use any machines. I focus a lot on cardio, which is what I do when I'm on stage. I also am into isometric workouts. When I'm mentally distraught, I work out. I'm always hiking or walking these days. And I still love my mountain bike."
So now that you're back on the road, do you get to work out?
"At this point, I'm performing three shows in a row for more than two hours at a time and then I'd get a day off. That is my workout. I don't do anything on the off days so I can prepare for the next show. I need that day off to rest to be able to sing that long."
Soundgarden's Chris Cornell on staying fit published May, 14/2013.
Fabrications.
Personal criticisms of Vicky Karayiannis are from a few her public statements, claims, stories, particular antagonistic interactions with others I've witnessed on social media, and her likely untruthfulness surrounding Chris's death.
I do not encourage ill intent her way.
Vicky Karayiannis's stories and her behaviour became suspicious a month after Chris's passing. To be brief, Alternative Nation, a news based website for rock music, and personally, a questionable source for authenticity, had been the primary source for Vicky's several changed stories.
The following are previous posts where I go over particular articles from Alt-Nation, articles that are highly suspect of falsehoods. The emergence of these stories after the release of Chris's clean toxicology report, indicated that the narrative of "Ativan" and Chris's history of past substance abuse were heavily being pushed.
It's with great certainty the the following stories were concocted by Vicky herself:
CORNELL'S WIDOW REACTS TO SUICIDENOTEABOUT'MURDERER.
Regarding an alleged suicide note from a "fan's father" and the "dangers of Ativan."
CHRIS CORNELL EMAIL ADMITTING TO FINAL DRUG RELAPSE REVEALED.
Regarding an alleged email "sent by Chris" to an unknown colleague "admitting he had relapsed."
CHRIS CORNELL'S WIDOW REVEALS WHAT MEDICAL EXAMINER TOLD HER ABOUT CAUSE OF DEATH.
Regarding an alleged exchange between Vicky and Assistant Medical Examiner Theodore Brown M.D. *This supposed conversation happened a month after Vicky's Twitter exchange (an exchange I personally witnessed in real time) with a friend of mine Renee DeCamillis . Vicky claimed that the medical examiner's statement of, "these drugs did not contribute to the cause of death" really meant that the drugs were not the "mechanical cause."

Observing closely and comparing the right hand, the hands photographed are likely not to be of Martin Kirsten's. The hands also appear to be different from one another; hands not from the same person.
The photographs do not appear to be natural. The swabbing in every photo strangely looks "posed" rather than "captured". Are photographs of a CSI collecting physical and DNA evidence at a crime scene necessary?
As I've mentioned before, I strongly believe the images of room #1136 to be staged.
I had a "hand expert", basically an artist who draws from still life and human anatomy, look at the photograph of the hands and said the hands didn't belong to the same body. In addition to the artist's opinion, I had two co-workers of mine, knowing nothing about the case, examine the hands and they came to the same conclusion. They're not the hands of the same body.
As it appears, the fingers on the right hand are longer, a skinnier wrist, skin slightly darker and of a man's hand in comparison to the left hand, the fingers shorter, a wider wrist, lighter in skin tone and possibly the hand of Martin or a woman.
Why the different hands though and for what reason?

SERA PROGNOSTICS ANNOUNCES PUBLICATION OF DATA PREDICTING CLINICAL UTILITY AND COST EFFECTIVENESS OF THE PRETRM® TEST-AND-TREAT STRATEGY ACROSS DIVERSE POPULATIONS
– Clinical and economic benefits of the PreTRM® test and treat strategy illustrated amongst diverse racial and ethnic backgrounds –
SALT LAKE CITY, Nov. 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Sera Prognostics Inc., The Pregnancy Company® (NASDAQ: SERA), focused on improving maternal and neonatal health by providing innovative pregnancy biomarker information to doctors and patients, today announced the publication of results from a clinical utility and cost-effectiveness modeling study, ACCORDANT (Analyses aCross Congruent studies ReDucing Adverse pregNancy ouTcomes). The newly published study reports:
Case management, which consists of increased outreach, education, and specialist care for women predicted to be at higher risk for delivering prematurely, was expected to decrease neonatal and maternal hospital length of stay by 19% (p=0.029) and 8.5% (p=0.001), respectively, compared with standard care.
Case management for those at higher risk also was predicted to significantly reduce moderate-to-severe neonatal morbidity and mortality by 29% (p=0.025).
Multimodal management, which combines case management with pharmacological treatment, was predicted to further improve outcomes and statistical significance
The modeled clinical benefits and cost-effectiveness of the test-and-treat strategies were seen across diverse racial and ethnic backgrounds, with Black and Hispanic women strongly represented in the study.
"Results of this analysis point to the utility of the PreTRM® test-and-treat strategy in ameliorating the clinical and economic effects of preterm delivery, which impacts more than 10% of U.S. births each year," said Gregory C. Critchfield, MD, MS, Chairman and CEO of Sera Prognostics. "Most importantly, the predicted benefits across underserved populations, among whom the prevalence of preterm birth is disproportionately increased, provide the opportunity to serve a broad and diverse population of women in the United States. We are excited to be in a position to help substantively address unacceptable healthcare disparities in pregnant populations that unfortunately bear the burdens of prematurity."
"By combining the PreTRM® Test, which detects far more women at risk of preterm birth than traditional clinical factors, with enhanced prenatal case management, real progress may be possible for this under-addressed and serious condition," said Michael Foley, MD, Sera's Chief Medical Officer.
ACCORDANT was a secondary analysis of 847 women from the Multicenter Assessment of a Spontaneous Preterm Birth Risk Predictor study (TREETOP), a previously published evaluation of the predictive performance of the PreTRM® Test. The study combined real-world clinical information with large, published outcomes datasets in a microsimulation model to examine the potential impacts of the test-and-treat strategies on important clinical indicators and medical costs related to preterm birth.
The peer-reviewed report, "Clinical and economic evaluation of a proteomic biomarker preterm birth risk predictor: Cost-effectiveness modeling of prenatal interventions applied to predicted higher-risk pregnancies within a large and diverse cohort," was published in the Journal of Medical Economics.

About Preterm Birth
Preterm birth is defined as any birth before 37 weeks' gestation and is the leading cause of illness and death in newborns. The 2021 March of Dimes Report Card shows that more than one in ten infants is born prematurely. Prematurity is associated with a significantly increased risk of major long-term medical complications, including learning disabilities, cerebral palsy, chronic respiratory illness, intellectual disability, seizures, and vision and hearing loss, and can generate significant costs throughout the lives of affected children. The annual health care costs to manage short- and long-term complications of prematurity in the United States were estimated to be approximately $25 billion for 2016.
About the PreTRM® Test
The PreTRM® Test is the only broadly validated, commercially available blood-based biomarker test that provides an early, accurate and individualized risk prediction for spontaneous preterm birth in asymptomatic singleton pregnancies. The PreTRM® Test measures and analyzes proteins in the blood that are highly predictive of preterm birth. The PreTRM® Test enables physicians to identify, during the 18th through the 20th week of pregnancy, which women are at increased risk for preterm birth, driving more informed and personalized clinical decisions based on each woman's individual risk. The PreTRM® Test is ordered by a medical professional.

Mirai in Flight Season's Greetings 2014!
It's been so long since I last return to Singapore, so even though it is the end of the year — considered a cooler period in Singapore.
Singapore is so hot and humid! Hahahaha but some things are nice – can get around relatively easy without the need to own a car, lots of shops and food accessible.


Bracknell Manics hadn't played a competitive game of football since the 12th November 2006, so it was little surprise they got off to a tentative start. Winkfield were struggling to settle too, but carved out the better openings. There were the inevitable late challenges, but the referee handled them sensibly, and also dished out a yellow card to Gates.
After about 18 minutes, sleeping at the back-post cost Manics dear as the stocky, but lively no 9 controlled the ball perfectly then drilled in a low finish past Robinson. Manics, although not clicking at all as a team, were bitterly disappointed to be one down.
On the half hour mark, Manics really began to play as a unit. Some clever triangles down the left hand side involving Goddard, Evans, Blay and Barnard released Warman on two blistering runs that deserved to bring the sides level. Evans and Robertson both squandered great crossing opportunities as the misfortune mounted for the blues. Ryan Warman had a chance to level as the pressure mounted, but his shot was drilled directly at the keeper who saved well.
Half time came just as the Manics were reaching a crescendo. They were positive that with the slope they could come away with two or even three goals from tired Winkfield defence. However disaster struck early on. An out of sorts Mark Gates was caught out by the jinking run of the Winkfield winger and conceded a 47 minute penalty. The same player who was felled took the spot kick but blasted it over.
The remainder of the 2nd half became an awful spectacle. Despite the best intentions of the Manics to get the ball down and play, they could not get past the resolute Winkfield back-line. A number of corners and free-kicks came to nothing. The referee got himself muddled up on occasions which contributed to the stop-start nature of a dour second half. Goddard missed a chance and got booked later in frustration. Barnard tried his luck once or twice from long range, but the Winkfield keeper was rarely tested as the ball rarely ventured into Manics territory.
Despite dominating possession and playing fine football at times, the Manics will rue their slow start. A real battle begins now as the Blues look to win their first game all over again. This season so far as been utterly forgettable.
The Manics Man of the Match and the Referee's Player of the Match went to Adam Barnard.
"sumone get gatesy an alarm clock - I was the sexiest man on the pitch today"


Today is the 42nd edition of our periodic guest post series called 10 Questions and a Pizza Place. (The 1500′s are pizza fanatics.) We have a list of 17 questions we pose to fellow financial bloggers, and they are free to pick and choose 10 or answer all 17. Let us know if you would like to be featured in a future edition of 10 Questions.
I first discovered the Frugalwoods way back in May when I read their 2 part post on refinishing cabinets. I was immediately impressed. The posts had lots of good information. The instructions were very good and well written. The pictures were great. It was clear that these people were serious about producing a quality blog.
I bookmarked Frugalwoods in some corner of my brain and have continued to visit ever since. The ridiculous (and by "ridiculous", I mean "awesome") greyhound pictures make a visit to Frugalwoods worthwhile all by themselves. I often wonder what is going through Frugal Hound's mind when she is wearing cowboy hats (see below), cleaning rags or sporting pumpkins.
Enough blabbing from me. Please enjoy their answers and then make your way over to Frugalwoods and introduce yourself. You won't regret it.
Tell me about your blog and why it's great.
We're Mr. and Mrs. Frugalwoods (+ Frugal Hound) from www.frugalwoods.com, self-proclaimed frugal weirdos living in Cambridge, MA. We pull stuff out of our neighbors' trash, use leftover hotdog buns for sandwiches, haven't been to a movie theater in over 10 years, and Mr. FW is a freaking bike commuter. Basically we're a menace to mainstream consumer culture.
Mr. 1500 note: I love this picture.
Frugalwoods (est. April 2014) is a living documentation of the accelerated final three years of our journey to financial independence and a homestead in the woods (more on that in #2). We've been frugaling it up together for ten years, but this is our most intensely-focused sprint of frugality. Barring unforeseen calamity, we'll enter early retirement in 2017 at age 33.
We co-write Frugalwoods (and are married in real life!), which enables us to diversify and cover a wide range of topics. We make a pretty good team, both on and offline (permission to gag now).
Our blog is great because it has lots of photos of our greyhound, Frugal Hound.
What are your biggest goals in life?
Our biggest goal in life is to not regret the way we spent it. We don't want to reach 40 or 50 and realize we've wasted our best years behind a desk. To that end, in 2017 we'll both quit our 9-5's and move to our yet-to-be-purchased homestead, hopefully on 30+ acres of wooded land in rural southern Vermont. We also want to have kids and raise them in this rural environment with plenty of streams and mountains to explore, and an absence of the materialistic, high-stress childhoods we see playing out in the city.
We won't be entirely sans income after early retirement–we'll rent out our current Cambridge, MA home, grow our own veggies, plant fruit trees, build a few cabins/yurts/tiny houses to rent out on Airbnb, create hiking trails on our land, brew our own beer, attempt to launch Frugal Hound's runway modeling career, freelance edit and write (Mrs. FW), maybe teach yoga (Mrs. FW), weld-for-hire (Mr. FW), do freelance software development (Mr. FW), and whatever else comes our way. We'll be able to comfortably withdraw 4% from our investments to cover basic living expenses.
The Frugalwoods plan = avoid consumer culture + live a fulfilling life of true purpose and intention + hike a lot in our own woods.
What is the best financial move you have made?
1) Marrying the right person. Nothing screws up your life like a partner who is not on the same page financially or otherwise. We've seen friends go through divorce and it's both heart-wrenching and finance-destroying. Neither of us would be nearly as successful or happy without the other's support. Together we are more than 1+1= 2. More like 1+1= ∞ (math joke!).
2) Moving for our jobs. We were able to dramatically increase our salaries by moving across country. We're both 30 and have lived in 5 different places (Kansas, New York City, Washington, DC and Cambridge, MA twice) since graduating college. It's incredibly foolish to limit yourself geographically at the outset of your career. For those crucial first few years, push yourself out of your comfort zone to take advantage of the best salaries. And then once you retire early, you can live (basically) anywhere you want!
What's your favorite tip for saving money?
Buy used. Anytime you consider purchasing something, your first thought should be: how can I buy this used? We have a used car, used couch, used house, used greyhound… among many other used, but not used-up, things.
Buying used also gives you an excellent exit strategy. If you buy used, you can usually turn around and sell the item for about the same price. If you buy new, on the other hand, the item is going to depreciate immediately and you won't be able to sell it for what you bought it for.
Every hike we've ever hiked together. It's our absolute favorite way to spend a day and we're never more relaxed or at peace than when we're tromping up a mountain hand in hand.
Our most outstanding hike was probably the Na Pali coast in Kauai. We climbed a mountain, swam under a waterfall, gazed down at the ocean, and spent the day talking and thinking together. We only had one asthma attack and a sunburn–so, total success!
What product or service epitomizes consumerism?
The "random box of junk" delivered to you each month. It's literally stuff you don't need that you're paying money for every month–I'm looking at you Birch Box, Bark Box, Custom Toothpicks Box. In addition to receiving unnecessary crap, you're paying to be marketed to–they send little samples to entice you to pay even more money for the full-sized product! You're not even getting something useful, like for example a Bacon Box. I admit that a Bacon Box is equally useless and I'd never pay for it, but at least you'd get to eat some bacon.
These boxes embody the idea of being a consumer just for consuming's sake. And the genius thing about the boxes is that the companies get the stuff for free and then turn around and sell it to you! So their profit margin is insane–it's a great business model for the company, but completely worthless for the consumer.
What advice would you give to a 24 year old, just out of college?
Keep living like a college student for as long as humanly possible. Start saving for retirement immediately and learn to embrace the college student lifestyle for the long-term. Mrs. FW says minus the keg stands; Mr. FW says OK on the keg stands as long as you don't buy the keg.
What is your favorite place to vacation?
Mr. FW: Anywhere with a woodstove, craft beer, a porch, and mountains I can hike.
Mrs. FW: Anywhere that has wine.
What was your favorite job (or worst job)?
Mrs. FW: Gotta go with worst. Immediately after undergrad, I worked 40 hours a week as a "document preparer" at a document scanning agency. I smoothed pages, removed staples, and stacked files neatly. I was not qualified to use the actual scanner.
Mr. FW: Gotta go with best. I was the assistant wedding coordinator at my church during high school. I only worked on the weekends and got paid in cash to set up a few tables and make sure the place didn't burn down. Usually the biggest disaster was learning that a bride didn't have enough body glue. Luckily, I knew the closest body glue purveyor and, I had no shame.
Write your own question: What's the greatest thing you've ever taken off the side of the road?
Mr. FW: My 1970s Sears brand, 25 lb, cast-iron beast of a circular saw. If it ever stops sawing, it'll double as a sledgehammer.
Mrs. FW: Definitely my LL Bean, down-filled, knee-length winter coat. Admittedly, I have to step into the coat as the zipper is broken (it does zip up though). Small inconvenience for the free-est, warmest, most waterproofiest coat I've ever owned.
What is your favorite pizza place (I am a pizza nut)?
Fellow pizza nuts here! We have a delicious and delightful local joint in our neighborhood that makes amazing pizza: City Girl Café. It's a hidden gem of Cambridge and a miraculously efficient use of resources: 6 tables, 1 server, and 1 chef.
Thank you Frugalwoods and Frugal Hound for those highly amusing answers and pictures! Frugal Hound, I can't wait to see what you have in store for Halloween. Please pay them all a visit on their blog and give them a follow on Twitter.
Love the FrugalWoods, and love the 1500s! I've been a closet fan of both for months, and am finally stepping out into the world of blog commenting.
Thank you so much! I'm a fan of the 1500's as well 😉 Glad you're commenting–it's always fun to hear from people!
I enjoyed your take on what matters in life, and it definitely isn't "more stuff". I truly hope you guys are able to get to your version of early retirement in a few years here, complete with the homestead. Sounds like a dream for you guys!
Many thanks! Frugal Hound is definitely a Hound about town :). You are so right–it's never about stuff. And, I really hope the homestead becomes a reality too!
Wow, I didn't realize how extensive your retiring to a rural homestead plan was. Building cabins/yurts, making hiking trails, and brewing your own beer? Count us in for a stay at Frugalwoods BnB. Seriously. When that happens, we'd love to come out to Vermont. Never been, hear it's beautiful, especially in Autumn (my favorite season).
We're also torn about the moving anywhere for salaries. Our jobs are fine, but don't pay amazing. However, I've lived here my whole life, my parents live her as do hers. It would be hard to leave our family behind. That said, our parents are thinking about moving out of state, so that would make our decision much easier to move out and live somewhere new.
We'd love to have you at the Frugalwoods BnB! That will be so fun! Although the 1500's have called first dibs on a cabin :). Autumn is absolutely the best time of year, I'm convinced.
Moving for jobs is definitely a tough decision. It's been made easier for us by the fact that both of our parents moved to totally different states (CA and NC) a few years ago, so we're spread across country no matter what.
I'd rent a cabin too!
Awesome! We'll be booked up in no time! It is a dream of mine to convene a bunch of us FIRE folks at our place for a weekend (week?) of revelry.
Yes, I'm glad I'm #1 on the list. As a bonus, I'll bring beer, good beer. And candy corn.
Thank you so much for featuring us today, Mr. 1500! We're deeply honored and Frugal Hound is super embarrassed about that photo of her failing to sit properly. Greyhounds: not sitting animals.
This post was a blast! Greatly looking forward to working with the Frugalwoods (and Frugal Hound) more in the future!
This was great – I already snooped out everything over at Frugalwoods but now I got some more over here!
Haha amazing find on the saw – and WTF are these boxes you speak of!?!?
Steve, you creeper ;)! I know, I don't understand those boxes at all either, but people pay big $$$ for them every month.
Very cool, I always enjoy reading these posts to learn more about my fellow bloggers. You guys will need to come over to BC Canada and check out all the awesome hikes one day. Squamish, Whistler, and Pemberton areas have some amazing hiking trials.
Mr. FW and I would love to hike in BC–it sounds and looks absolutely beautiful!
ha ha I love the random box of junk comment. I know so many people who do this and just end up with loads of random stuff that breeds more stuff. I love your life plan and the choices you guys make. Very inspirational!
That is awesome. Love the site and FW's plans. So nice to have goals and be able to accomplish them early in life. Way to go!
Lance @ Healthy Wealthy Income recently posted…I'm the Boss – Leadership, Management, Resumes, Raises and More!
I KNEW you'd want to make your home in Vermont! Yes!!!!!!! I'm in Northern VT, but it's all close anyway!
Yay Vermont! Most beautiful of states!
I loved this!! I love following the Frugalwoods and Frugal Hound. 🙂 I completely agree with the comment about marrying the right person. I have two married clients who both have stay at home wives. One wife is frugal and looks out for the family finances and her hubby has a lot less stress and won't have to work forever because of it. The other wife is the opposite of frugal and I feel for the hubby because he stresses about money all the time and will probably never see retirement. You really need to work as a team to make smart financial decisions.
Agreed! I think it's just much easier, and happier, if you're on the same page financially as your partner. Plus, Mr. FW and I serve to motivate and encourage each other towards our shared goals.
Thank you so much! You're too sweet! I do plan to continue bloggin' on the homestead, though I'm sure my writing will evolve and change to some extent.
I love your plan, teamwork and, of course, your amazing sense of humor (the dog makes for a good prop, too!). So glad you made it as a finalist for this year's Plutus Awards (can't believe 1500 Days didn't…what's up with that?!?!?!?!).
Thank you so much! I appreciate it. I can't believe 1500 wasn't a Plutus finalist either!! What was up with that?!
Ha, you both are too kind. Little known fact: I was a finalist for a Flatus award.
Kitty PoP and Frugal Hound might be more similar than I thought – he doesn't know proper sitting postures, either! He does not groom like a normal cat, which I blame on a lack of kitty role models.
We are on the same wavelength Mrs. PoP. I suggested this very thing to Mrs. FW just yesterday.
Cool answers there Mr & Mrs Frugalwoods – I admire your lifestyle and agree an ideal holiday has a woodstove, mountains and the beverage of your choice – wine for me ta.
Woodstove, mountains, wine (or craft beer)…. ahhhh. Sounds divine to me!
I think that's so awesome that you will reach financial independence by 2017. You will beat the Irishman and me. Your vision for your future sounds wonderful! Love following your journey. Will you get a cat when you set up your homestead? Will Frugal Hound learn to get along or will she be the mouse catcher?
Frugal Hound actually caught a mouse outside once! I love cats and grew up with them, but Mr. FW is somewhat allergic to them. So, I'm not sure if they can have a home on the homestead.
Great interview! I am with you on the hiking. It is also my favorite thing to do besides foraging. I am looking forward to your Vermont adventure. There is nothing like growing your own food.
Frugalwoods, I love you two. Your plan for 2017 and beyond sounds like an absolute dream!
Oh thank you so much! We really hope it's a dream that comes true (forgive the terrible cliche 🙂 ).
The FW's are definitely a blog I follow because they deliver solid content with a lot of wit along the way. It's great to read about people who get so much out of living life by doing it simply.
Thank you, Kassandra! I really appreciate that :). We try to just love the act of simply living.
Just discovered the FrugalWoods (well actually the Mrs. did) and I have been reading ever since. My wife wants to try homesteading now and we love the Frugal Hound…although our frugal cat would probably wince if we mentioned that aloud.
Thanks for the great interview and post Mr. 1500, always great to see a new post pop up from you.
FinCon 2017 is at the Frugalwoods' ranch! Calling it now!
Great interview! I totally agree with raising kids in rural areas. (Although we do like to visit cities from time to time) My 7 year old can hike for 10 miles on a good day. She climbs trees and plays with my friend's chickens. When we went to Yellowstone, we were obviously smitten with the bison walking all over the road. Besides that, we were total wildlife snobs. You'd see all these cars lined up to look at an elk or deer, and we have those in our back yard!
That sounds idyllic, Kim! Exactly what we're hoping to have.
Frugalwoods you crazy kids! Fun to learn a little more about you guys. Every time I see pictures of your dog in costume of some sort, I always think if dogs could only talk, might be a separate blog on her own(coming soon I'm sure).
I'm curious on the craft brews, have you guys started brewing your own yet? I'm not there yet, but I think I will be brewing some of my own next year, for frugality purposes of course.
We haven't brewed our own beer yet–I think it'll be a homestead activity. Right now we lack the time as well as the capacity to drink that much beer :). We'll need to figure out a way to give a lot of it away if we do brew.
I'm open to helping on the "give a lot away" portion!
I love this interview, that goes without saying, but I really like the consensus in the early comments that Autumn is the best ;).
I laughed pretty hard and "used greyhound' – poor Frugal Hound!
This is a great interview and nice to see some Massachusetts folks embracing financial independence. I especially loved the vacation with the wine. Perhaps, the best place to go is in New Hampshire, where all of the wine tastings are free or the Finger Lakes region of New York where most of the tastings are $1 or $2. An excellent way to spend a frugal afternoon or two with wine.
Thanks so much! We actually haven't been to many wine tastings (given the cost), so I'm excited to hear there are free/cheap options in our region. We'll have to check it out!
Frugalwoods are great! Do check them out!


Is Liberalism the Same as Christianity?
Somebody on A Christian and An Atheist.com recently asked the above question. After reading through some of the comments, I added my own two cents. You can read my answer to the question here. Last time I posted on this forum I got slammed pretty hard: I'm interested to see how the response will be this time around. It should be interesting to read, at any rate!

Happy New Year! I can't believe it is already 2015. It will probably take a few months before I get used to writing 5 instead of 4 in the date, but I am definitely looking forward to jumping into the new year. Sharing some winter blues on the blog today since the cold weather has prompted me to wear much more of this cool palette lately. I love the fit of this faux leather mini skirt. It's structured with simple but statement zipper detailing that add some edge without going over the top. The heels are one of my favorite purchases of the last month. Leather and suede cut out heels by Steve Madden. The look so great with a skirt and tights but also loving them with black skinnies on colder days.
Traditionally used to represent French royalty, the Fleur de Lis symbolizes perfection, enlightenment, and life. The three petals are also associated with the protection of the Holy Trinity. Wear the Fleur de Lis as a representation of your faith in the changes and regeneration of life.
This past year, I have really gotten back into health & fitness. So, I'm very excited to share today's holiday gift guide for all the fashionably fit ladies in your life. I'm one of those Nike obsessed people – completely enamored with the brand personality and aesthetic. I'm all about the tagline, "Just do it." This has definitely inspired my workouts, snowboarding, and half marathon this year. The Nike pieces in this gift guide are quality items that can really help take a workout to the next level. The long sleeve in particular is one of my new favorites. The slim fit is SO comfortable and the slight v-neckline is such a feminine cut. All the other accessories on this list are just some items that every health-nut has wanted at some point or another but likely never made the trip to buy. I just finally purchased a blender bottle this month which has made post-workout protein shakes so much simpler. And I have been dying to get a foam roller to stretch out on for the day after a long run. Hope this list inspires some gift ideas for the active friends on your holiday lists!
I have also been doing quite a bit of online shopping. Just trying to sort out what I'll be getting for friends and family this year. So while I'm at it, I figure I'll continue posting different Gift Guides for those of us scrambling for thoughtful holiday gifts. Above are some of my favorite finds this year. I only included items that I'm personally lusting after in this gift guide – so this set is definitely perfect for the beauty or fashion crazed ladies in your life. I'm obsessed with fur ear muffs this year and have been dying to get my hands on a new, soft makeup brush set. These are definitely some splurge items, maybe more budget-friendly on a gift for besties or sisters.
Just a quick post after my first weekend back on the slopes this season. It was the most gorgeous, clear opening weekend ever. I posted a couple shots from the trip to my Instagram. A large group headed up to Stowe Mountain Resort in several different cars for a fun little snowboard trip. I had the chance to stop by the Burton Flagship Store and Headquarters in Burlington, Vermont. As you have probably noticed from my blog, I have always been a strong supporter of the Burton brand and product line. However, I was truly so disappointed with a customer service experience this past weekend. So much so, that I will probably avoid buying any Burton products moving forward.
I don't want to get into the details of the experience, but I am looking forward to exploring some new snow apparel and gear through other brands. Which leads me to this blog post. I fell in love with these 3 women's snowboard jackets by Volcom and DC. My personal favorite, of course, is the baby blue DC jacket. I am also so obsessed with these North Face soft shell pants. I'm currently using their baby blue snow pants that I have owned since elementary school!! You might remember from my Snowboarding Gift Guide last holiday season, that I love the soft shell pants for boarding. The slim fit is just so comfortable. Really looking forward to making a little splurge for this white North Face pair this year!
Keep an eye out for more Gift Guide 2014 posts as we get closer to the holiday season.
Thought it'd be fun to show another outfit remixing the blush & camel blanket scarf in a new style. I styled it with cranberry jeggings in my last outfit post so this time I switched it up a bit. Cranberry cropped jacket with camel skinny jeans. Obsessed with this look for Thanksgiving 2014 Outfit Inspiration. It's casual and comfy – perfect for the holiday. However the gold stripe detailing on the pants and rouched zipper on the jacket seem to elevate the entire outfit. My family's fall tradition has been to visit the Philadelphia Parade every Thanksgiving morning, walk around the city, visit the holiday light show at the Comcast Center, and then finally head back home for an early (and amazing) turkey dinner. So in the early/cold morning hours I love a warm look like this. The scarf will obviously be necessary to stay bundled. In the evening, I tend to change into something a bit more fancy in order to really get into the festive spirit. Hopefully I will be sharing another fancier Thanksgiving-Outfit-Idea post soon with a less casual vibe.
Jacket – Years old! So I could not believe when I found this crazy similar Oxblood Velvet Military Jacket at Free People!!
Pants – Loving these burgundy corduroy pants!
I'm so excited to officially announce on the blog that I'm now an affiliate marketer for Alex and Ani!! I was so thrilled when I got the news and have been trying to contain the excitement until I could publish a pretty blog post featuring some of my favorite bangles from their collections.
The beautiful concept behind the Alex and Ani brand makes each bracelet so much more special to me. The entire brand is built on the principle of positive energy. You might remember from my End of Summer Outfit post a while back, that I had been wearing the Lotus Peace Petals bangle after I got one for my mom, sister, and myself. It stacks so beautifully with our matching silver Tiffany's bangles and carries a lot of meaning.
Since then, I have added a few other charms to my collection and each one is so special. I was also gifted the NYU and October Birthstone bracelets that I love! I have listed my favorite silver bangles – click each link to read the full meaning behind each exquisite design.
Be sure to go check out the Sacred Dove bangle as it will be on a special sale throughout the whole month of November!! Use the code "SACRED" at checkout.
White Makeup – only $2.50 each and can be found at nearly any local Halloween store.
Lo Bosworth also has a video up on her YouTube channel but it's for "Sugar Skull Halloween Makeup." Way too pretty and cutesy for what I was going for. I love the dark, hollow look of this particular skull.
Face – First use your fingers to apply the white base. Blends much more pigmented with this technique than any of the brushes I tried. Then use a beauty blender to blend out all the streaks and imperfections.
Brushes – Use thin, angled brushes to apply the black makeup. The thinner the better to create precise lines for the teeth and cheekbones.
Matte Finish – My makeup didn't air-dry quickly so I took a tissue paper and lightly blotted to pick up any excess product. After that, I went in with a fluffy eye shadow brush and some Urban Decay shadow in Oil Slick to mattify the look and add some shimmer. Forever 21 also puts out a decent "Naturals Palette" with plenty of charcoal and black shadows that could be used instead. It's a great inexpensive option if you're not trying to goop up the Urban Decay colors with all the halloween makeup paint.
Eyelashes – I used some way more dramatic lashes than I typically wear on a night out. I think a dramatic smokey eye helps balance out all that's going on in the bottom half of the face. I picked this pair of Classic False Lashes from Forever 21 for only $1.00. I don't mind being a little cheap with the lashes considering this is purely a costume look and not a natural, night-out face.
I'm thinking about ditching my previous Halloween costume idea in favor of this makeup look. But Halloween conveniently falls on a Friday this year, so I'm sure I'll have a chance to rock both costumes Friday and Saturday nights. Hope these tips help!
I just love Sunday Mornings. There's nothing more peaceful than grabbing a latte, taking a drive, sitting at Mass, and just being present in the quiet moments at the beginning of the day.
This past Sunday, I was able to cross another item off of my fall to-do list. My mom and I took a drive out to Shady Brook Farm for an early morning trip to a fall market. Just being there reminds me of so many wonderful parts of my childhood. My surprise 10th birthday was there, sweet little fall date nights, the Christmas drive-through light show… One of the women working there this weekend stopped to chat with us and mentioned all her favorite memories with her kids happened at this farm as well. The whole morning was just so relaxing and it felt great to get up and out a bit earlier than usual.
Sweater – Another item off my fall wish. A new chunky knit sweater. In love with the darling pastel pink chiffon hem.
Boots – A favorite of mine every fall, the Steve Madden Lawson boots. No longer available but I like this similar cognac pair.
Scarf – The pale pink seems to only be available in-store, but I also love the soft plaid version online.


There are thousands of travel sites out there, all wanting you to believe they have unique or special prices on all inclusive vacations to Los Cabos from Calgary. They don't.
From Calgary, the most popular all inclusive destinations are typically Mexico, Cuba, the Dominican Republic, and to a certain extent, Jamaica. There are certainly many other destinations with true all inclusive resorts, but the destinations listed are where you'll usually get the most for your travel dollar. Destinations with a lower overall number of all-inclusive resorts can be a lot more expensive.
What are the unique sources of prices on all inclusive vacations to Los Cabos from Calgary ?
5 of the 7 Canadian Tour Operators offer all inclusive packages to Los Cabos from Calgary, and they are: Air Canada Vacations, Signature Vacations, Sunquest Vacations, Sunwing, and WestJet Vacations.
Where should I look to get the best all-inclusive deal to Los Cabos?
This is by no means a complete list of all the Canadian-based travel sites. The only important thing you need to know as someone searching for the best all inclusive deal to Los Cabos from Calgary is that they are all retrieving their prices from the same Canadian Tour Operators, and all trying to sell you the exact same vacation packages at the exact same prices.
You may also have seen a search tool right here on YYC Deals, called the Ultimate All Inclusive Deal Finder.
What about my local travel agency or independent travel agent here in Calgary?
If it's through a travel agency in Alberta, or a Canadian travel agent, you can think of them as being identical to the websites mentioned. They're accessing the exact same prices, from the same Canadian Tour Operators as the sites above, and trying to sell you the exact same vacation packages. And they can't offer a price that's any different than any other vacation site or brand.
What's a decent price for an all inclusive vacation to Los Cabos?
From Calgary, one week all inclusive packages to Los Cabos from the Canadian Tour Operators tend to bottom out at around $950-$1050 per person, after taxes. This is just a general guideline though, based on average demand periods of the year. And of course it can vary wildly, depending on the quality of the hotel involved in the all inclusive package.
The prices of all inclusive packages to Los Cabos are highly affected by demand. So anytime you can think of a reason that there might be higher demand than usual for travel to Los Cabos (such as dates when many travelers from Calgary have vacation time or school breaks) you can expect prices to react accordingly.
Prices are also generally higher during the colder winter months in Calgary, as there is higher demand from travelers looking to vacation somewhere warm.
What about all inclusive packages from the Canadian Tour Operators with direct flights to Los Cabos?
All 5 of the tour operators in Canada that offer all inclusive packages to Los Cabos have direct flight options.
The flight time to Los Cabos from Calgary is 4.5 hours each way. The distance from Calgary to Los Cabos is 3107 km (1942 miles).
One last minor item to be aware of when comparing travel costs is that the Canadian Tour Operators usually include the cost of shuttle bus transfers to and from the destination airport in the display of their prices, while the Flight & Hotel Combiners usually offer it as an additional add-on, once you're well into the booking process.
When should I book my trip to Los Cabos, Mexico to get the best price from the Flight & Hotel Combiners?
1) The latest Calgary-San Jose del Cabo (SJD) flight prices from the major airlines. The major airlines don't tend to offer great last minute prices, so waiting until the last minute can backfire. I find the major airlines tend to usually offer their most decent prices around 8 weeks before departure.
2) The latest Los Cabos hotel prices. It's more common to see Mexican hotels offer discounts at the last minute, but then you have to weigh that against the fact that the flight price component from the major airlines can rise as the date nears, meaning the vacation package price could go up.
Air Canada and WestJet are the only 2 major airlines that offer direct flights to San Jose del Cabo from Calgary, which is the city you'll be flying into to get to the Los Cabos area.
Look for all inclusive packages to Los Cabos involving these flights if travel time is a concern.
I'd suggest starting with finding the cheapest flight to San Jose del Cabo from Calgary that you can (remember, that's the airport you fly into when heading to the Los Cabos area). You may want to read the guide: Calgary to Los Cabos | How To Get The Best Flight Deals.
What about low-priced all inclusive packages to Los Cabos from U.S. airports within driving distance of Calgary?
If you've ever read my guide about flying out of U.S. airports within driving distance of Calgary, you may know that I feel it could be worth the drive, when you see an all inclusive package from a U.S. airport to Los Cabos that's at least a certain number of dollars less per person than a similar vacation package from Calgary.
I feel it could be worth the drive, when you see an all inclusive package to Los Cabos from Great Falls or Kalispell that's at least $500 less per person than a similar all inclusive package from Calgary.
Usually though, flights from Montana to Los Cabos are more expensive than they are from Calgary, meaning all inclusive packages to Los Cabos are likely to be more expensive from Montana as well.
I think I've found a great deal on an all inclusive vacation to Los Cabos!
Excellent! Please share it with your fellow Calgary travel lovers, they will certainly appreciate it! You can post it in the YYC Deals Facebook group (click 'Join Group', at the top-right, when you arrive), where thousands of travel lovers from Calgary are crowd-sourcing the best deals, and sharing great travel advice.
I think I have some info that could help improve the Los Cabos vacation guide for Calgarians!
When should I go on an all inclusive vacation to Los Cabos?
Well, most vacationers like to go to Mexico when it's colder in Calgary, which means December through March, and as always, higher demand means higher prices.
There can often be some great travel deals on the shoulders of this demand period such as in the first half of December before the Christmas insanity and in April as the demand starts to die down and Calgary gets warmer.
September is the statistical peak of the Caribbean hurricane season down south. The potential for bad weather reduces demand, along with prices.
The chances of bad weather occurring drop slightly in October, and then further again in November. By the end of November/early December, the chances become pretty slim of seeing hurricane-like activity, and prices start to rise along with the demand. Hurricanes rarely hit Los Cabos head on, and most summer tropical storms pass through quickly.

"Mad, bad and dangerous to know"
"The great object of life is Sensation – to feel that we exist – even though in pain – it is this "craving void" which drives us to Gaming – to Battle – to Travel – to intemperate but keenly felt pursuits of every imaginable description whose principle attraction is the agitation inseparable from their accomplishment." --Lord Byron
"We of the craft are all crazy, but I more than the rest; some are affected by gaiety, others by melancholy, but all are more or less touched." --Lord Byron cited in A Journal Of The Conversations Of Lord Byron With The Countess Of Blessington (1834) by Marguerite Gardiner, Countess of Blessington
George Gordon Byron, 6th Baron Byron (22 January 1788 – 19 April 1824) was a British poet and a leading figure in Romanticism. Among Lord Byron's best-known works are the narrative poems Childe Harold's Pilgrimage and Don Juan. The latter remained incomplete on his death. He was regarded as one of the greatest European poets and remains widely read.
Lord Byron's fame rests not only in his writings but also in his life, which featured extravagant living, numerous love affairs, debts, separation, and allegations of incest and sodomy. He was famously described by Lady Caroline Lamb as "mad, bad, and dangerous to know." Byron served as a regional leader of Italy's revolutionary organization the Carbonari in its struggle against Austria, and later travelled to fight against the Turks in the Greek War of Independence, for which the Greeks consider him a national hero. He died from fever in Missolonghi.
His daughter Ada Lovelace, notable in her own right, collaborated with Charles Babbage on the analytical engine, a predecessor to modern computers.
Byron and the moderns
In 1843 famed critic Sainte-Beuve wrote that Byron and Sade "are perhaps the two greatest inspirations of our moderns, the first openly and visibly, the second clandestinely, but not very.
