News

It has been a long time since I've sent this newsletter out, so if you were glad it was long gone and I just wrecked your new year by sending it, just scroll to the bottom and use the unsubscribe link. Otherwise:

Oh look, Chicken Thursday - and Happy New Years everybody!

Cybersalt is back with a new resolve (pun intended) to reinvigorate and reactivate the mission of Cybersalt. My goal for 2015 is "To do less and accomplish more."  Speaking of New Years resolutions, make sure you at least focus on the ones that matter - the ones that are on track in the first place. That's one of the points I made in my message last week.  You can listen to it at:
www.westsidefamily.org/messages/resolution-focus

And of course, if you do stumble a bit in your resolve don't be too "ruff" on yourself - as the New Years dog reminds us once again this year!

That's all the news for now. Enjoy the rest of today's mailing.

Hey look, it's me!  Yes, after a super busy summer I'm trying to get into the swing of sending out mailings again.  I have so many things to catch up on.

First of all, when I do make new pages on the Cybersalt Site (or find great links to share) I put them out on social media.  If you care to do so, you can follow Cybersalt on these channels:

Twitter - @cybersalt
Facebook - www.facebook.com/cybersaltsite
Google+ - Cybersalt on Google Plus

Secondly, while Grandma Cybersalt and I were walking around Victoria BC's inner harbour on our 28th anniversary, I found a guy making really cool wooden pendants out of old postage stamps.  I was so impressed with them I told him I was going to tell you about them.  Head on over to check them out at:

Speaking of Grandma Cybersalt, she and I have a second grandchild - our first granddaughter! Eleanor Susanna was born to our son and daughter-in-law, Clayton and Rebecca, on June 23rd.  Neither of us is desperate to actually look as old as all this makes us sound.

Also speaking of Grandma Cybersalt - she did the ALS Icebucket Challenge the other day.  You may get a kick out of hearing her screaming in this video:

Finally, even though school is not back in my province of British Columbia (due to an ongoing bitter and protracted labour dispute) it is back in most places - and not too soon as you can see in this funny picture on the Cybersalt site:

That's all the news for now. Enjoy the rest of today's mailing.

A couple of you mentioned that you found it hard to read the Cybersalt News section of mailings when it's presented in white text on orange background. As you can see, I have changed the formatting to make it more legible.

A couple of weeks ago, Mrs. Cybersalt and I saw the movie "Million Dollar Arm."  We really enjoyed that true story of the search for untapped baseball pitching talent in India.

Yesterday, a well know rapper threw out the first pitch at a New York Mets game.  If I were going to give a title to the video of that pitch I would call it "50 Cent Arm."  You'll see what I mean if you go to:

I'm super excited to announce the beginning of some re-design on the Cybersalt Site! Over the next while you will notice that different areas have a much more user friendly way to be exposed to other and related content on the Cybersalt site.

For instance, if you go to view the latest funny cat picture "Presbyterian Wishes" (www.cybersalt.org/3r44) you will notice a column with other images randomly gathered from the Funny Cat Pictures and other Funny picture galleries. I think it makes the page look better and it's already making it easer for visitors to experience more of the over 13,000 pages on the site.

Enjoy the rest of today's mailing.
