Event Details
Stellenbosch University (South Africa) and Justus-Liebig-University (Germany) invite you to contribute to a symposium on imperfect forms of collusion that is going to be held on January 12 and 13, 2018, in Stellenbosch. The conference features prominent keynote speakers such as John Connor, William Kovacic, Kai-Uwe Kühn, Giancarlo Spagnolo, and others.
The topic Imperfect Forms of Collusion refers, for example, to information exchange and list price collusion that were elements of, for example, the European trucks cartel and whose economic assessment and appropriate legal treatment is far from clear. The symposium thus invites scholars from law, economics, criminology and related fields to contribute answers to the following non-exhaustive list of questions:
- Under what circumstances can agreements on list prices raise transaction prices even if the colluding firms are free to counteract the agreement by granting higher rebates?
- To what extent do list prices serve as reference points affecting sales managers' behaviour even if perfectly rational agents would leave transaction prices constant despite the agreed-upon increase of list prices?
- Which incentive / remuneration / bonus schemes facilitate collusion?
- What is the likely effect of information exchange among competitors if they discuss, e.g., the state of negotiations with common buyers without, however, agreeing on prices?
- How can the effect of information exchange on, e.g., the delayed introduction of technical innovations be assessed? What harm results from such agreements? And how can the damage be quantified that emerges from an impairment of dynamic (rather than allocative) efficiency?
This list of questions is far from comprehensive but illustrates that Imperfect Forms of Collusion concerns all agreements among competitors going beyond classical hardcore restrictions such as price fixing, customer allocation, or bid rigging. We also invite case studies illustrating collusive behaviour observed in practice and prosecuted by the authorities that deserves to be studied more intensely. This also concerns the question about the appropriate legal treatment of these forms of collusion, i.e., which imperfect forms of collusion should be banned per se, and which forms should be treated by a rule of reason? To what extent are, for example, the horizontal guidelines of EU competition law appropriate to deal with these Imperfect Forms of Collusion? We especially welcome contributions from the behavioural sciences.
Besides providing a platform for a lively exchange of ideas, we also offer an opportunity to publish these contributions in a handbook on Imperfect Forms of Collusion. A similar volume that one of the organizers edited recently may give you an impression of how this new book may look like: Competition Law Compliance Programmes, J. Paha (ed.), Springer publishers (https://goo.gl/1dwV2C).
Submissions may take the form of either abstracts or completed papers. Applicants who wish to attend without presenting a paper must indicate their research interests, as they may be involved as discussants.
Venue and accommodation
The conference will be hosted in Stellenbosch, situated in the Cape Winelands to the north of Cape Town, at the Stellenbosch Institute for Advanced Study (STIAS).
Target audience
The target audience are researchers, academics and graduate students in related fields from, e.g., law, economics, business administration, criminology, sociology, and political sciences. Employees of competition authorities are invited to share their views, too. South African researchers from historically disadvantaged backgrounds are encouraged to apply.
Registration and fees
Applications to participate in the symposium is closed. Registration takes place on the first day of the symposium.
Scientific committee
Prof Willem Boshoff (Department of Economics, Stellenbosch University) PD. Dr. Johannes Paha (Justus-Liebig-University & Stellenbosch University)

- My Troty is too hot/cold, what can I do?
The e-scooters are designed to function properly when the temperature is between 5 and 32 degrees. If the temperature is higher than 32, a small indicator on the scooter will be on, meaning it need to cool down for a bit. The best solution is to place it in the shadow. You'll be able to use it right after. When it is below 5 degrees, it has to warm up. The troty won't function properly until the weather gets warmer again.
- When are the scooters available?

What is "normal" anyways?
The dictionary defines "normal" as "conforming to a standard; usual, typical, or expected."
Conforming to a standard. Well, previously we followed the herd, went with the pack, watched the fashion, trend, style, etc.
Now that's been shown not to work. We're fast breaking the mould and we can't hide it any longer.
Usual, typical, or expected. Nothing we do is any of that. We've stepped out of existing boundaries.
What are those boundaries?
Well, how about empirical materialism? The view that only what we can see, hear, touch and smell is real. I talk to archangels and galactic beings. I neither see them nor touch them. But they're real to me.
Enlightenment is real enough to me that I sacrificed a Sociology Ph.D. rather than drop the subject and do a "normal" dissertation. That's pretty real in its impact.
So we are not normal, if by normal you mean Third-Dimensional in standards and values.
But we are normal if by that you're referring to Fourth or Fifth Dimensional standards and values. We're what Linda Dillon calls "the New Normal."
And as the New Normal, we need, in the beginning at least, to acknowledge and validate ourselves.
No one out there is going to validate us for listening to channeled galactic beings. No one out there is going to validate us for talking to angels. We need to do that ourselves.
Why is it important to talk about this subject anyways?
Because, as far as I can see, you can't get to the higher states of consciousness without going through "normal." So not only are we going to be "normal" as in a typical or usual aspect of a Fourth- and Fifth-Dimensional setting, but there's another sense in which we're "normal" and it's important. Let me explain.
I once had a monstrous "Aha!" moment at an Enlightenment Intensive and looked to see where I ended up afterwards. And where I ended up was … oh, my gawd … feeling normal. It floored me. All that work and I only succeeded in … feeling normal???? Not totally blissed out? Not ecstatically rolling around on the floor?
But that was the case. And feeling normal was a wonderful experience: grounded, balanced, and centered. I had been subject to the ordinary, normal, will mood swings that people in a drama-loving society were subject to.
I saw at that point that one could not get to the higher spaces without coming back to the center, to the normal range of emotions. The doorway was through the center, the heart. The center, the heart is the gateway of bliss. Open the gate and bliss flows out. No trickle down there. A veritable and never-ending flood.
The range of emotion that can be considered normal is distinguishable from the range that can be distinguishable as abnormal. Anger is abnormal. Jealousy is. Greed is. On and on we could go.
Equanimity is the new normal and that's to be found in the center, in the range of the normal. Tranquillity, harmony, peace – they're all to be found when we stay within a "normal" range of emotion, in balance, in the center.
For decades, we've considered it quite fashionable to pooh-pooh the normal. Not us. Not by any means.
But by doing so, we alienate ourselves from noticing and validating the center, the balance point, the heart.
I saw that, without recovering this "normal" space, no higher-dimensional experience would last for any length of time. Bliss doesn't like rough seas. It leaves until the seas calm down.
The subject came up in a discussion with a friend who has gone through a lot of the ridicule that we lightworkers know so well.
And all the time she thought of herself as "abnormal." Now she sees that she's normal. It's just a higher-dimensional normal.
Third-Dimensional folks are normal in their Third-Dimensional way. And we're normal, as well, in our Fourth- and Fifth-Dimensional way.
It's a little hard for us, perhaps, to consider that love, bliss, and ecstacy can be "normal." But of course on the Fifth and higher dimensions, they are.
And we've agreed to go first in experiencing and modelling them.
So welcome to the New Normal. You're it.

When I experience the emotions of a song along with the performer, that song becomes beautiful to me. Also, a beautiful song to me is almost always a sad one. Those are the ones that can really move your heart to another level. Upbeat songs are fantastic and they can certainly raise your emotional state, but the sad songs that touch you become inexpressibly memorable. That's what makes them byoutiful.
[…a beautiful song to me is almost always a sad one.]
Below are three very emotional tracks that truly touch my heart. Please enjoy.
Dile al Amor, Aventura
Okay, time to get out the Kleenex. This song is another very seductive treat for the ears, but the lyrics are enough to make you cry. The song is sung by Aventura, an all-male Bachata group born out of The Bronx, NY. (Much to the chagrin of its fans, the band broke up in 2011.) Bachata is a sexy, intimate dance style from the Dominican Republic, and the sounds of Bachata are often very deep and soulful.
So, tell love not to touch my door/
Since I'm not at home/
Tell love not to come back tomorrow/
My heart already missed its chances
—AVENTURA, Dile al Amor
The song is about a young man who essentially never wants to be in love again, so he is telling love (and Cupid) to stop knocking on his door. I chose this song as much for the video as for the lyrics and the music; the video very artfully conveys the exquisite pain our young hero is experiencing.
For me, the guitar in the background is absolutely the best thing about this song. As it starts playing at 0:16, those chords are enough to make me melt. If a guitar's heart were breaking, that's what it would sound like.
La Belle et la Bad Boy, MC Solaar
MC Solaar is a French hip hop and rap artist who is known for the complexity of his lyrics. The song is about two young lovers: An innocent girl and the edgy rebel she falls in love with. They have big dreams, but the boy is deeply buried in a world of crime. The end of the song describes the young girl being shot to death.
You may recognize the song from the last episode of Sex and the City. "La Belle et la Bad Boy" plays in the background as Carrie runs through Paris, unaware that Mr. Big is simultaneously scouring the streets for her. The symbolism here is obvious—all of us SATC fans were still leery of Mr. Big in the end, and we didn't want Carrie to get hurt if she ended up with him.
When she falls, tears [drop from] his eyes. —MC SOLAAR, La Belle et la Bad Boy
I think what I love most about this song is the acoustics. Even though the song is about darkness and danger, the sounds in the background are almost twinkly, sparkly. They seem to represent and honor the innocence of the young girl being described.
You can find the English translation to the lyrics here.
As Long As You Love Me, Justin Bieber
I saved the cinematographic genius for last. I became a Justin Bieber fan not too long ago, when I found out how much he does for charity. But I have to say, it's still a little embarrassing to post this video on here! After all, I'm almost 30 years old—hardly tweeny bopper age, or whatever the kids are calling it these days.
Sheepishness aside, I chose this song not so much for the lyrics, but for the music video and the impressively expressive vocals. The quality of this video is just mind-blowingly phenomenal. I cannot get over how gorgeous it is. (I do have a film background too, if being a film minor in college counts.) The colors, the angles, the choreography, the lighting… This video is visually stunning. I just can't watch it enough. It was directed by artistically brilliant Anthony Mandler, who will most certainly be the subject of a future post.
You really have to applaud the masterminds behind this video—they know how to wrench your heart. When Bieber's face bleeds as he belts "please don't go," when he decides not to strike back at his girlfiend's father and he can't even rise from the ground at the end, your heart is just aching for his character. Very cleverly done.
On that note, please share your thoughts. I'd welcome links to other core-shaking songs as well.

Since the recent State of the Union address, President Obama has been touting his proposal to offer free preschool to everybody.
The White House cites studies that claim all manner of benefits to sticking young children into the zoo early on, including later "success." And Obama claims one of his main motivations is to close the test score "achievement gap" between poor and rich kids.
It's evidently never too early to begin class warfare, which leads us into some other issues about this whole notion of preschool.
Preschool is billed as preparation for kindergarten and sold to parents as an opportunity for essential socialization of children.
Experience suggests reality is other than what the public is being sold.
Preparation for kindergarten? Like without intensive studying, children might not be able to grasp the difficult concepts of counting or macaroni art?
Socialization,too, is one of those buzz words used to sucker parents into doing what some bureaucrat insists is best for the children. Many a young parent has been conned with images of warpainted kids running amok if they don't put them into the government-sanctioned hands of strangers for five hours a day, whether Mommy needs to go to work or not.
I'm sorry, but I've seen preschools. You'd be better serving your child by leaving him tied to a stake in the backyard with a bowl of water and some kibble than by letting him near some of the hellspawn that are enrolled in preschool.
The only real "success" to come out of the majority of preschools is in serving as a petri dish for exotic diseases that your babe will proudly bring home and share with you.
It only takes an average of two seconds' exposure to a group of preschoolers to cause the typical adult's immune system to crash and burn.
As for those supposed educational successes, many of them are sitting in the nation's prisons because they never learned not to steal or sell drugs, but they can fingerpaint up a storm.
If you truly want to give your child an educational head start, turn off the TV and make him crack a couple of books every week.
The real reason for promoting universal preschool should be obvious.
Besides serving as yet another excuse to raise taxes, preschool is the first real opportunity government has to indoctrinate young children by exposing them to ideas like Timmy having two daddies, the Pilgrims being illegal aliens, the Founding Fathers being terrorists and free condoms.
The world would be a better place if the kids could just stay home with their parents.

This way, you 'don't put all your eggs in a single basket,' and is not going to be bothered by a momentary slip in research motor rankings.
For much better research engine optimization, make use of the h1 tag. Use the h1 tag in your title, and make certain the title is somehow contained in the text. The h1 tag will help you target straight on keywords and phrases. Also, make use of the h2 and h3 tags for a lot more streamlined optimization.

Does anybody here brussels sprouts? Hands up for me because it taste bitter and hard like rock, traditionally the right way to cook this vegetable was to boil it but this will only make me hate this vegetable even more! After some research, I've find that by adding little bit of vinegar and roast it with panko (Japanese bread crumb) and cheese actually made me fall in love with this vegetable. The high heat from the oven not only can soften the vegetable but also caramelised and brings out the sweet flavour. Brussels sprouts are so much better than you think, give this a try!
approx. 400g Brussels sprouts
5 slices of bacon, cut in small pieces
2 medium size tomato, chopped in medium pieces
4 button mushroom, sliced
handful of sugar peas, cut the tips
few stalk of rosemary
4 tbsp olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
4 tbsp chicken stock
1/2 cup Panko (Japanese bread crumbs)
1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
salt and pepper to taste
1) Pre-heat oven to 200°C. In a large baking tray, toss brussels sprouts, tomato, bacon with garlic, rosemary and olive oil.
2) Spread vegetables in a single layer in a large baking dish, at least 2 inches high. Roast for 15 minutes then add in the mushroom and sugar peas and roast for another 10 mins.
3) Stir in balsamic vinegar and chicken stock, sprinkle with panko and cheese, return to oven for 5 minutes, remove from oven and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Travel advice at the DR Congo - Rwanda boarder
Last Update : 01 September 2013
IMPORTANT : the aim of this article is to inform travelers or workers who plan to come in the region, and not to say who is right or wrong in this conflict. There are many websites or forum which talk about tensions between DR Congo and Rwanda.
Tension is rising between DR Congo and Rwanda. Rubavu district was hit by several mortars or assaults launched from Goma, since many month. On 29 August 2013, a mortar fell in the Rubavu markert killing one women and hurted a baby. Many embassies or foreign offices advise against all travel, in this part of the country.
Despite tensions in the East of Rwanda, you can travel without scare in the rest of the country.

I am 17, and would much more prefer to read more recently made novels, my grandma gave me Salem's Lot to read and told me to read it at nights! This is truly (outside of "it") the most frighetning book ever made at times. I don't get to scared most of the time by books, but I will sware that one night after the baby was stolen in the book, I looked out my 2nd story window and seen a vampire...now that, my friends, is a horror book!!! I must admit the book cover is what I liked about it the most though, it definetly set the mood!

This book was really good! I felt it gave Basil a 3-dimensional personality which had been lacking in the previous books. His personality became less centered around sex, which was a good thing. I didn't like Yancy's character, because of what she was, until the end. When you read the novel, you will know what I mean. The end left a lot of things in the air, so I hope Mr. Harris, gives them, another voice in his next novel. I hope you all will enjoy the novel.

I just finished reading my fourth Ken Follett novel and enjoyed it very much. It is one of Follett's best. This book opens the door to life in the 12th century. We come to better understand our world as we learn about the people that lived before us. The book is at times predictable, but this does not take away from the greatness of the story and its ability to touch your heart. I highly recommend this book. You just don't want it to end!

War as real as it can get!!!
Rating: 5/5
Binding: Paperback
I rarely give books 5 stars, but this is one that really deserves any accolades it gets. Mason gives you a feel for flying as he takes you through how to fly a chopper with the aide of excellent diagrams, which i referred back to nearly all through the book. The real interest is in his descriptions of flying in combat, whether evacuating wounded or flying into 'hot zones'. It brings you into the action as much as any book can. This is not comic book fiction. This is a man's story of his war, and what a war it was!!!

Wonderful Book. I learned a lot
Rating: 5/5
Binding: Hardcover
I love this book! The best thing about it is that you learn so much about horses by listening to his stories. It's not a boring how-to. I really feel I developed a greater respect for my horse and definitely a greater understanding. Even though there's a lot of controversy over Monty Roberts I really don't care. Who knows what's true and what isn't? Personally I don't care. His methods work in most cases and you can learn a lot from this book. Don't decide not to read this book because of the controversy. It makes no difference because you can learn so much.

A superb novel of 18th century tradition
Rating: 5/5
Binding: Paperback
One of the best novels I have ever read. Jane Austen speaks out in mild but effective comical terms on the stupidity of tradition throughout the eighteenth century. Her main themes address the problems of true love, money and the importance of family life. She does this through the narrative of her highly regarded heroine Elizabeth Bennett. Through the love and devotion to her eldest sister we see Elizabeth at her best fighting for the interests of her family and connections. A wonderful novel of two sisters and their struggle for true love in a society with pecuniary worries and stations.

"I can't tell if you're serious or not."
Rating: 5/5
Binding: Paperback
Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. is probably my very favorite author, and "BREAKFAST OF CHAMPIONS" is among my top 3 favorite books of all time. What can I say about it, other than it is truly a work of genius. (And it's funny too!)America needs more Humanists like Vonnegut. From his ink doodling to his witty remarks about society, Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. never fails to deliver. He's a man loaded with incredible insight. TRULY AMAZING!! This book is a MUST for any serious home library.

undergrad macro text full of intuitions
Rating: 5/5
Binding: Hardcover
Unlike the graduate textbook (Lectures on Macroeconomics), this undergraduate textbook is full of economic intuitions, comparable to microeconomic textbooks of Varian's.
Especially, if you have an interest in Macroeconometic practices (books such as Ray Fair's...), Blanchard's is much better than Mankiw's, I believe.
First edition contained the exciting (but short...) section on identification problem and differentiation between causality and correlation. Those issues are of much more importance than they look when you actually "do" something with the macroeconmic issues.

well written account of mixed models with SPlus software
Rating: 5/5
Binding: Hardcover
Mixed effects linear models are very useful particularly in medical research (e.g. device or drug trials). Pinheiro and Bates provide comprehensive cover of both linear and nonlinear mixed effects models with many applications. Implementation is illustrated using the S programming language and the software package SPlus.Bates is an expert on nonlinear regression and hence the emphasis on the nonlinear models as well as the linear ones.

I was already digging the book before I got to the really good bits around page 230 - then I had to stay up an extra two hours to read the next 120 pages or so because I was mesmerized.The claims made in the book are a dagger in the back of Christian doctrine, and a condemnation of the Catholic church basically, and I expect there's many a review of this book giving it 0 stars, simply because people are angry that their faith is being questioned by someone else, God forbid. *buh-duh-bump*Anyway, don't listen to those reviewers. If you can keep an open mind about the whole thing, whether you believe the information contained within to be fact or fiction, you're going to greatly enjoy this book.

The resort has a great location, opposite the main beach and on Hastings Street - great for dining and shopping. Buzzy atmosphere in the evenings. The apartment was good but needs updating. Staff were friendly and Helpful. The pool area is very pretty, surrounded by palms and luscious vegetation. There is an underground garage for safe parking of your car. We enjoyed our stay.
Right in the heart of Noosa and close to all things you need this is an ideal location for families at a good rate. Staff always willing to help out with local advice and service. The only thing I think could be improved is the pool - not sure it was at the temp advertised in the room literature and it could be given a minor (but am sure it is costly) upgrades. Spa was also out of action but we weren't advised before booking. Overall though, a great family holiday recommended by this mum/dad and two kids (5 and 7 year olds).
Our one bed apartment was a great size. We didn't have a view, but fortunately we also were in a private position as far as our outdoor areas were concerned. Didn't use the pool area as we were so close to the beach. You pay for postiion....Hastings St! Staff were very pleasant.
We really enjoyed our stay.
The location is amazing and Hastings Street is on your doorstep and everything was within walking distance.
For the short stay my friends and I had the Resort was in a good position in Hastings St Noosa. However not having a elevator/lift was hard lugging up your luggage by stairs???? Service was good help was aplenty. Would consider staying again
We had a great stay at Ocean Breeze Resort. The location was perfect to allow us to walk everywhere - across the road to beach, shops and river ferry or buses. Close to National Park. Our room was on the top (3rd) floor and overlooked the pool . No lift so carrying luggage up and down was the only slight hassle, but we try to travel light! The apartmemt was perfect, 2 rooms with en suites! The kitchen was well supplied. 2 small balconies, could only just squeeze 3 chairs on each, so 4 eating outside was tricky.
We had a wonderful time.
Resort is directly across the street from the Main Beach and Noosa Surf Life Saving Club.
Our room was spotlessly clean and recently refurbished.
Staff where friendly and professional.
Directly under the Resort is an excellent cafe, a 7 Eleven, a steak house, and an ice cream outlet.
We hope to return one day.
Weather was great, good location well located to all the great resturants and shops, great time of year had a fabulous time with the family.
This property is in the perfect location with lovely large apartments, clean and modern. The pool area is perfect for the kids and family and there is a casual and comfortable vibe about the property.

If we think about the nature of all things, we are sometimes confronted with what we believe to be hard limits. We feel that the boundaries of reality are clearly defined and that there is only one perception of this. Too often we redefine these boundaries as discoveries are made, both in our personal lives and in the greater world around us.
Consider what 'Power' means. If approached as a perspective, power can be anything from a state of mind, to control, to peace, to dominance. It can be destruction, or it can be salvation. But is power the ability to perceive, or is it the ability to negotiate obstacles?
When we're faced with challenges that sometimes seem insurmountable, often we give them a kind of power, either through their influence over us or the respect they demand. We counter this by eventually coming to terms with the true nature of its power; that is, gradually realizing that it has none.
In Kung Fu, powerful strikes can be negotiated in many ways. The least effective is force-on-force. We do not strike power with power. We negotiate it by redirecting the flow of its energy or we use our frame to absorb its potency, often while expending very little return energy.
So, who has the power then? The strike, or the block? The attacker, or the defender?
This is the nature of counters and balance.
If a strike is received without response, the power lies in the blow and not in the reception of it. If a strike is mitigated in some fashion, then the power resides with he who absorbed it, yet the power is not in the absorption of the blow itself as much as it lies within the ability to bend.
I am reminded of the story of the Reed and the Oak with this truth. As the winds blow across a meadow, the reed is whipped about, where the Oak stands firm, swaying in the breeze. The oak scoffs at the reed, relishing in its power.
One day a violent storm comes along, and the winds crash against the reed and the oak alike. As before, the reed whips about, following the contours of the wind as it buffets against the reed. The oak stands firm, confident that it can stand against the fury of the this storm as it had many times before.
But bit by bit, the oak is dismantled; its strength fading. The winds chip at its smaller branches, tear its leaves from its limbs, and even pull whole arms from its trunk. The Oak cries out at its losses.
When the storm passes, the oak is left in disrepair, its pieces scattered across the meadow. Standing beside it, unharmed, is the reed. The oak beholds the reed in a new light.. seeing that strength is valuable, but so is compromise. Being sturdy is necessary, but being flexible is true strength.
At first glance, our lesson seems to lie nearly completely with the reed. The oak was foolish and the reed was wise. The oak was overconfident and the reed was humble. The oak was the student and the reed was the teacher.
But perhaps this distinction is too simple. The oak has taught us much — perhaps even more than the reed. The oak showed us measurement and contrast as much as the reed did. Were the meadow in our story to only have reeds, the lesson would be lost. If the meadow was a single oak, the lesson would have been lost.
Power doesn't come from embodying the natures of a single perspective. Wisdom does not come from subscribing to a single ideal. True power — true wisdom — comes from learning to see the lessons that life has to teach us no matter the teacher. The truly wise are the never-ending students of life.
And such brings us back to the nature of balance. To truly be a teacher, you must never stop being a student. To truly be a student, you must be able to behold the teacher in all things.

Using device fingerprint
This page's content:
What is device fingerprint?
Device fingerprinting is used to generate a
device_id that uniquely identifies a customer's device. This
device_id is then associated with a payment when the customer completes a purchase. This information is used by anti-fraud tools to match the customer's behavior against known fraudulent behavior to detect potential fraud attempts.
Why should I use it?
A device fingerprint is an essential layer of protection that does not impact the customer experience on your website. A clever fraudster can easily disguise the IP address, and the device fingerprint can solely identify one fraudster using a list of credit cards in a list of fake profiles.
How do I use it?

Fall is one of the best seasons to sell your home! With the explosion of beautiful colours and relaxed atmospheres as people settle into their routines for the upcoming winter, fall offers many natural benefits to selling your home.
As you stand in your yard and survey your home and property amongst the continual soft falling of leaves, here are some things to keep in mind to make the most of your selling opportunity:
Keep the Yard Tidy
With the descent of your trees' leaves, it can be a challenge to keep your yard looking tidy. As much as the colours add natural beauty and appeal, having loads of leaves covering the yard, decorating the porch, and creating a surface cover to your pond can also leave a negative impression on buyers! Try and keep up with raking and cleaning up leaves as much as possible to ensure you have great visual balance.
Be sure to tidy up your gardens as well. Remove any plants that look poor after the hot season, clean up brush, deadhead your plants, trim back unruly shrubs, and weed well!
Take Advantage of Curb Appeal
Use the natural colours to incorporate your home's look into the overall natural setting! Complement autumn colours by taking extra care with decorating your front steps, being sure to find the right balance between decoration and looking too cluttered. Think about how the colours work together to avoid clashing.
Have Your Home's Furnace Inspected
Be proactive and have your home's HVAC system inspected. Buyers will want to know that the home's heating and cooling system is maintained, up-to-date, and reliable for all seasons. This will save potential buyers a step and hassle after the home is sold!
Think About Lighting
Find ways to add extra lighting to your property and home. In the fall, people typically enjoy thinking about cozy days inside during the upcoming winter. Make sure you have lots of light indoors, mixing softer lighting for cozy sitting areas and open light in the working areas, such as the kitchen. With the shorter days ahead, try to add lighting to your outdoor property as well. Ensure your porch lights and lamps are working and consider adding more if it's lacking. Also, think about adding landscape lighting. All these factors will help add value, as well as appeal to the fall buyer!
Declutter and Keep Clean
Consider decluttering your home! Not only is this a great way to add visual appeal, but it will help you in the long run while you're packing up your home and moving. Be sure to be extra conscious of keeping things clean and tidy – consider doing a thorough 'spring clean' for your home. Get your carpets and furniture cleaned, wash all the windows in your home (inside and outside), and add that extra clean sparkle to your kitchen appliances and countertops!
Get Comfortable
Think about how comfortable your home looks to potential buyers, particularly with winter in mind. Consider adding pillows to your couches (without cluttering), adding a extra throw blanket or two on the beds and sofas, having a log or two sitting in the cleaned out fireplace, and providing sitting areas in sunny locations in your home!
Putting thought and effort into making your home appealing during the fall season will help sell your home and get you the best value for your investments in your property and home!
For more tips on selling your home this fall, contact me! I can help you find the perfect home this fall, sell your home, and create the best appeal for your home!

Tips on Drying Roses
How to Make Dried Roses
If you have a rose garden you may want to enjoy the roses long after they've given you joy in the garden and in cut arrangements in your home. These are best dehydrated in flower drying crystals of flower silica gel, which is a finely powdered, sugar-like substance, despite the misleading reality that it's known as gel.
To start drying the roses, first fill a container (like a plastic shoe box) using an even layer of silica gel, an inch deep. Cut all but one inch of the flower's stem. Put a double- or many-petaled flower face up in the gel. Place single-petaled blossoms like daisies facedown on top of the gel base. Flowers having long stalks must lie lengthwise in the container. Always place buds of roses and peonies in your drying collection. Put these horizontally in the gel.
Using a small spoon, cover the blossoms with gel; starting from the outer edges and working your way towards the center. Dust the crystals in between the petals so the flowers would hold their shape throughout the drying process.
Cover the container using its lid or a sheet of aluminum foil taped in place. Do not leave the flowers in the gel longer than seven days or the petals will get too brittle. They're "done" if they feel crisp. If they're still limp, cover and leave them again for another day or two. Lift the flower out and lightly shake off the gel. To keep the dried roses or peonies, insert them using florist's foam. You can also fill an egg carton with sand and insert a flower in every cup. To preserve your dried flowers till wintertime, just put them in a storage box with a few mothballs and some spoonfuls of the silica gel to keep humidity and bugs away.
Tips for Drying Flowers
1. Flowers picked to be air-dried must be as perfect as possible and moisture-free.
2. Flowers for drying shouldn't be picked too early in the day. Allow the warmth of the sun evaporate the dew first, and take out leaves from the stems to help speedy drying.
3. The faster flowers dry the better they keep their colors.
4. Collect flowers in bunches and secure the stems using rubber bands. Hang upside down on a hook in a dry, dark area.
5. Most flowers air-dry best when hung inverted.
6. Dried materials can stay hanging indefinitely, as long as they're not hanging in a moist area.
7. To store flowers after they are dry, put them between layers of tissue paper in cardboard boxes.
Fun to Know Tidbits on Giving Flowers
If you wish to make an arrangement of flowers for a special someone or occasion, you must know that the names of flowers bear meanings. If, for instance, you're throwing a bridal shower, you might like to decorate using baby's breath, which stands for purity of heart. For a baby shower, fill up little pitchers and teacups with buttercups since they suggest a childish cheerfulness. When your party is intended to introduce two people unlikely to get together without you, fill the room with peonies and roses. The first suggests bashful, the second exemplifies love. An anniversary celebration could be heightened using sunflowers and verbena, the first evoking loyalty, the second faithfulness. If you wish to soothe away sorrow, do it with a vase made full with yarrow.

Judy called me hoping against hope that I was available for an extended family session over Thanksgiving weekend; seems that her family was getting together all in one place, at the same time, on Thanksgiving (which hadn't happened since her children were in college). Now they are married with families of their own, and her grandchildren are growing up fast! I was able to change my schedule a little and am I ever glad I did – this family was so fun and so photogenic and SO APPRECIATIVE of the preciousness of their time together. Lots of hugs and joy and laughter = lots of great images.
I have lots of shots of each family member with grandparents Judy & Brett, but I really liked this one of Judy & daughter Shelly. We all need to do this with our mothers, whatever age!

"I came out alone on my way to my tryst.
But who is this that follows me in the silent dark?
I move aside to avoid his presence but I escape him not.
He makes the dust rise from the earth with his swagger;
he adds his loud voice to every word that I utter.
He is my own little self, my lord, he knows no shame;
but I am ashamed to come to thy door in his company."
—— Who is This? by Rabindranath Tagore
About the workshop:
When was the last time you got angry because things didn't go your way? When have you felt like you were not appreciated, that you needed more, deserved more? When did you worry over how people thought about you? When was the last time you refused to listen to someone, because you thought you were right and they were wrong?
We believe that our fear, anger, frustration, or any negative emotion results from externalities. We believe that it is the person who hurts us, the job that frustrates us, the situation that limits us, and once we change into a new relationship, a new company, a new environment, we will be fine.
Yet, it's rarely the case.
The truth is, we become so caught up with the external opponent that we forget that the real opponent we need to be dealing with is the one within.
The workshop explores the concept of Ego, how it affects our day-to-day life and how can we take control of it, instead of being controlled by. If you are looking for the root cause of your sufferings and the ultimate remedy, this workshop is for you.

What Effects Does Smoking Have on the Kidneys?
According to the "Clinical Journal of the American Society of Nephrology," large numbers of studies since 2003 have linked smoking to decreased renal function 1. Smoking increases the risk of chronic kidney disease, or CKD, which may lead to end-stage renal disease, or ESRD 1. The Multiple Risk Factor Intervention Trial, or MRFIT, studied 332,544 men and found that smoking greatly increased the risk of ESRD.
If you are experiencing serious medical symptoms, seek emergency treatment immediately.
Arteries Are Damaged
The Surgeon General reported in 2004 that smoking caused changes in artery linings, which secrete growth factors that attract inflammatory cells and cytokines 2. This causes inflammation and leads to atherosclerosis, which affects the blood supply to the kidneys. Smoking goes hand in hand with the development of cardiovascular disease and CKD 1. Chronic kidney disease increases the risk of cardiovascular disease, which damages the arteries and their linings 1. Smoking just two cigarettes more than doubles the amount of damaged endothelial cells circulating in the blood of healthy individuals, according to results of studies of healthy nonsmokers by Dr. James W. Davis and colleagues, published in "Clinical Pharmacology and Therapeutics."
Glomerular Filtration Rate Increases
Hemodynamics is the study of how the blood flow in the body affects the heart. Smoking increases heart rate and blood pressure, due to the effects of nicotine. Blood pressure immediately rises as soon as a person inhales. Certain drugs for high blood pressure, such as beta blockers, are less effective in smokers. Norvasc, used to relax blood vessels and lower blood pressure, becomes less effective on arterial stiffness.
The hemodynamics of the renal system is also affected. Pressure increases cause damage to the glomeruli, which are tiny filters in the kidney. As the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) increases, so does the amount of kidney damage. The GFR is a good indicator of how well the kidneys are functioning. Smoking also affects the renal artery, which is the main blood source to the kidneys.
Tobacco Chemicals and the Kidney
Cancer Research UK reports that cigarettes contain over 4000 chemicals, of which at least 80 are cancer-causing. Low-tar cigarettes still carry the same toxic chemicals found in any cigarette, and they are no safer to smoke. According to HealthCommunities.com, the ingredient of arsenic can build up over time and lead to acute tubular necrosis with acute renal failure 3. This is a condition in which the cells of the tubules, which carry urine to the ureters, begin to die due to lack of oxygen. This leads to acute renal failure, or sudden loss of kidney function.
A two-year study by P. C. Chan and colleagues for the National Toxicology Program found that male rats given inhaled ethyl benzene, another tobacco ingredient, had an increase in tumors of the renal tubules.
Smokers also have a higher risk of kidney cancer, according to the Siteman Cancer Center at the University of Washington School of Medicine. Inhaling the smoke allows chemicals to pass into their urine. All the many chemicals in tobacco then cause cancerous cells in the kidneys, leading to kidney cancer.
One of the first studies to show a strong connection between smoking and kidney function was the Cardiovascular Health Study Cohort in 2000, which involved 4142 nondiabetic participants. Much of the kidney damage may be halted or reversed by quitting smoking. Many aids are available to help people stop smoking, including medications, smoking cessation classes and patches. Since nicotine is highly addictive, the best choice is to never start smoking.

Getting your outdoor space ready for winter seems like a daunting task. However, if you do not tackle the task all the love you gave your porch and patio during the spring and summer will have been a waste.
We at b.b.begonia have four simple steps to help make winterizing your outdoor spaces seem more manageable:
- Clean and store your furniture: get another year out of that beautiful patio furniture you invested in by storing it out of the harsh winter weather conditions.
- Clean the grill: it seems like common sense but it is easy to overlook. How nice will it be when the beautiful spring weather comes back around and your grill is glistening like new!
- Protect your wood structures: a simple sweep will keep bacteria out and help with rotting.
While you are cleaning up and storing your porch accessories, this is a perfect time of year to get out the fire pit. It is hard to beat s'mores and hot chocolate in your own back yard. While preparing for the harsh winter weather remember "if we had no winter the spring would not be so pleasant."

FBCD - FBC Holding Inc.
Company Overview
Website: - http://fbcholdinginc.com/
FBC Holding was formed back in 2006 and has gone through several iterations and business plans since then. Most recently, we planned to become involved in the actions sports business and our former management represented to have negotiated a deal with a company which also represented that it owned certain licensing rights to a unique type of skateboard called the Flowboard.
The Flowboard was a very cool product which unlike the typical skateboard had 14 wheels arranged in an arc beneath the deck which allowed the rider to tilt the board at a 45 degree angle which gave the sensation of creating a "deep carve" into the pavement and delivering a riding experience more similar to riding a snowboard or surfing than to a traditional skateboard.
Home Video
Consumer Products
The Company has been in discussions with a Company that possesses a technology that can print very simple to moderately complex electronic circuitry on to nearly any surface including textiles, plastics, metal and paper. Such technology has myriad applications and FBC is discussing lighting applications that can be powered by circuitry that can be painted or printed on to a surface without wires or any "hard" electronic components.
We are currently at various stages of involvement with each of these companies and we are continually on the lookout for new businesses that we can make a part of our Company and we expect to be able to provide some further information on one or more in the days and weeks to come.
We realize that over the last six years FBC Holding has presented several business plans and morphed from a mining company to a toy company to an action sports company as well as a few more in between. FBC is, first and foremost, a Holding Company. We are going to seek out businesses with solid plans, in a growing industry with specific characteristics. We will not seek to rush into any transaction but rather will perform thorough due diligence and only consider transactions that we believe can be immediately accretive to earnings.
FBCD has been speaking with a company that has developed an application that provides small and medium businesses an easy to use GUI in which these businesses can efficiently manage the social media image, monitor various social sites, and develop marketing plans through email, test messaging, and drip-marketing using a very simple dashboard. The client also has the option of engaging the company for these and other services and be able to monitor the effectiveness of the campaign. This opportunity is an early stage, operating company.
Natural Resources
FBC Holding began as a uranium mining company. The Company is currently reviewing several opportunities in natural resource mining. The companies that are being considered are all production-stage companies that are producing monthly revenues and would be immediately accretive to earnings.

International Longboarder: "…combining the best of what snowboarding and longboarding have to offer, Flowlab's revolutionary new board will most definitely turn heads, the 42-inch plank feels remarkably like snowboarding…turning offers less resistance and tight, smooth lines."
Popular Mechanics: The snowskate takes the skateboard to the mountains. Designed to keep street and vert skaters happy on the slopes. The rockered designs skis and rails provide the pops for ollies, kick flips and all your favorite tricks.
Specialty Retail Magazine: During the Flowboard's previous introduction Sport Technology introduced a Kiosk program and inline program for independent entrepreneurs who want to tap into the fastest growing segment of the sporting goods market (Action sports). They have new products to add to their existing sku's including the Snowskate, making for an actions sports store in a kiosk. Sport Technology currently has 15 kiosks prepared for deployment.

Quantum Revamps And Simplifies Its Channel Program
New services for channel partners include lead collaboration, configuration and quoting and additional training. Top-tier participants can earn higher margins.
October 14, 2008
Alison Diana: More stories by this author:
Quantum Corp.s (NYSE:QTM) recently enhanced channel program was designed to allow solution providers to build more sales, simplify their ability to generate configuration recommendations and price quotes, and provide access to more sales and technical training.
This marks the first time that the Quantum Alliance Reseller Program, which has about 4,000 partners, has undergone a major revamp since its launch in January 2007, following Quantums acquisition of midrange and enterprise tape library maker Advanced Digital Information Corp. (ADIC), said Greg Fredericks, director of channel marketing at the San Jose, Calif.-based storage vendor. Since then, Quantums technologies have expanded disk-based deduplication and replication systems and their incorporation into scalable, edge-to-core, integrated solutions that also include tape, common management and security.
We know [partners are] expecting a tough year ahead. Weve done things to make sure its a profitable sale for them, he said. One of the real advantages we provide is, because were positioned on both sides, you can sell the tape piece and the disk piece. Weve got interoperable solutions with single-pane management consoles.
Top-tier program participants Enterprise Storage Partners can earn greater margins through a New Business Incentive program for those ESP firms that successfully introduce Quantum solutions into new clients, said Fredericks. The revamped lead-generation program is tied into the lead-registration program, allowing partners that receive a lead from Quantum to speedily apply for a discount via the existing Quantum Alliance portal. The portal also now features a simplified configuration and quoting process with standardized midrange and enterprise hardware pricing, as well as opportunity registration discounts.
The lead-generation and lead-assignment features are huge, said Gary Vaughan, president of Clearpath Solutions Group, a Premier Quantum partner. Theyve uncomplicated some of the pricing, particularly around [product] upgrades. Theyve level-set that pricing. That de-complicates and expedites the sale for us, which is very valuable.
To continue educating partners about its products and opportunities, Quantum has added Quantum Tech Talk, a quarterly highly-technical webcast designed for engineers, to its existing line-up of monthly session that includes segments on a particular technology, sales opportunities and a question-and-answer period, said Fredericks.
And the vendor continues to offer Quantum Expert, an online training and quiz tool, designed to keep solution providers up-to-speed on its offerings, he added. Today, there are about seven courses, with additions expected each month, said Fredericks. All offerings are free to registered members of the Quantum Alliance, he noted.
