Company Valuation Methods
Pablo Fernandez
University of Navarra - IESE Business School
November 1, 2015
La versión española de este artículo se puede encontrar en: http://ssrn.com/abstract=1267987.
In this paper, I describe the four main groups comprising the most widely used company valuation methods: balance sheet-based methods, income statement-based methods, mixed methods, and cash flow discounting-based methods. The methods that are conceptually correct are those based on cash flow discounting. I briefly comment on other methods since - even though they are conceptually incorrect - they continue to be used frequently.
I also present a real-life example to illustrate the valuation of a company as the sum of the value of different businesses, which is usually called the break-up value.
I finish the paper showing the most common errors in valuations: a list that contains the most common errors that the author has detected in the more than one thousand valuations he has had access to in his capacity as business consultant or teacher.

The Good Life Lab: Radical Experiments in Hands on Living
by Wendy Jehanara Tremayne
Wendy presents the material in her new book, The Good Life Lab, which contains the inspirational story of how they ditched their careers in New York City to move to rural New Mexico, where they made, built, invented, foraged, and grew all they needed to live self-sufficiently. Alongside their personal story they present the discovery of a fulfilling lifestyle that relies less on money. They teach the art living from waste and from nature and teach how to make biofuel, DIY appliances for automating the homestead, build structures, gardens, and grow and forage food, and medicine. They present reasons for makers to share their innovations and ideas through open source and creative commons licenses.
Wendy will be speaking and selling her book, The Good Life Lab: Radical Experiments in Hands-On Living at Albuquerque Mini-Maker Faire this August.

Great Shoe, but runs long
"Ordered this great looking shoe for a special event. I should have taken the other reviews seriously, as it was at least a size too long. Ordered my usual size 6. The width was perfect, the color great and exactly what I needed to compliment my outfit. It seemed to be comfortable enough for an entire evening on my feet. Unfortunately, had to return them and smaller size wasn't available,"

farron cousins | July 29, 2011
By farron cousins • Friday, July 29, 2011 - 10:13
Representative Mike Rogers (R-AL) told an internet-based radio program earlier this week that if the GOP is able to sweep the 2012 elections, government agencies like the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) could be on the chopping block. Citing the erroneous fact that the EPA didn't exist until after the Carter Administration, Rogers said that a new Republican administration would "look closely" at whether or not certain government programs were necessary, and if not, they would be "discontinued."
Think Progress provided a transcript of Rogers' statement:
ROGERS: You know the fact is, if in fact I think the American people do next November what they started last November, that is, cleaning house, and we do get a Republican-controlled Senate and a Republican president, I think you going to see some dramatic structural changes in this country because we can't continue to support this infrastructure we have. And I'm not talking about just changes to the trust funds and the entitlement programs. You know, we gotta look at what we really need to be doing, and what we don't need to be doing. For example, we didn't have an EPA under Jimmy Carter. Who says the federal government has to have an EPA. Every state has their own environmental protection agency. Why does the federal government need to be doing that? Department of Education: I'm a big believer that education is a state and local matter, why do we need a federal department of education? I think we'll have to look at a lot of things that we're doing at the federal level and ask ourselves, 'is this really what the federal role?' And if not, discontinue it.
Think Progress reporter Lee Fang pointed out that Rogers' statement about Carter not having an EPA was entirely false, as the agency had been started by the Nixon administration and was never discontinued during the Ford, Carter, Reagan, Bush, Clinton, or Bush Jr. years. Fang also points out in his article that, when questioned by the interviewer about toxic substances being found in Alabama soil and waterways as a result of energy company dumping, Rogers responded by saying that he was disgusted by "the EPA sticking its oppressive…tentacles into the lives of businesses and individuals, making it next to impossible for companies to survive in this country."
Rogers has pulled in more than $400,000 from the Energy and Natural Resources sector during his 9 years in federal office, according to the Center for Responsive Politics. This includes $190,000 from electric utilities and another $115,000 from the oil and gas industry. His single largest contributor was energy giant Southern Co., which has given Rogers more than $140,000 over the course of his political career.
Rogers also has a history of voting in favor of energy companies: He has supported increased offshore oil drilling; he voted against allowing the EPA to regulate CO2 emissions; and he voted against the offshore oil drilling moratorium.
While Rogers' idea of doing away with the EPA hinges on the Republican Party sweeping the 2012 elections, his recent statements are just the latest in a long line of Republican-led attacks on the EPA. In the midst of the debt ceiling debacle currently gripping Washington, D.C., the EPA has taken a severe hit by receiving an 18% cut in their funding. Additionally, House Republicans are actively working to make sure the EPA does not have the authority or the money to rule on issues like coal ash toxicity, mercury, and various air pollutants.
If the current trends continue, there might not be an EPA left to dismantle after the 2012 elections.

Climate Change: Another Iraq
Climate Change: Another Iraq War of Climate WMD's, Fear Mongering and Lying. Bush is smiling.
The CO2 blunder, mistake and tragic exaggeration had done to science, progressivism and journalism what abusive priests did for the Catholic Church. REAL PLANET LOVERS ARE HAPPY A CRISIS WAS AVERTED.
I'm not the only former believer urging prosecutors to lay criminal chargers to the leading scientists and news editors for knowingly inciting this needless panic of CO2 climate crisis. Besides condemning billions of children to a CO2 death, the UN had allowed carbon trading markets that were run by corporations and politicians, to trump 3rd world fresh water relief, starvation rescue and 3rd world education for just over 25 years of climate CONTROL rather than the obviously needed POPULATION control.
The UN watched as thousands of scientists presented their own personal and unique papers on climate change and called it scientific "consensus". Yes all 3000 scientists are wrong because they all disagree with each other, not agree with each other. Tell me how that is consensus when every single scientist on board and every science organization has a unique view of climate change? That was a consultant's w & t dream. Climate change was a lab coat consultant's w&t dream, and criminal exaggeration, but worst case scenarios have a longer life than just simple exaggeration and "lying". Fear always is unsustainable. What they DID agree on however, was that there "would" be effects, so studying effects of something that hasn't happened yet presumes climate change to be real. Did you notice after tropical fossils were found under the melting ice that all research suddenly went totally into effects, not causes? When this is all said and done with scientist and news editors convicted, only then will we see what climate change was; modern day omen worship.
"making it next to impossible
"making it next to impossible for companies to survive in this country."
no concern about living things having a hard time surviving of course.

For the liberal Americans
For the liberal Americans reading and commenting here, understand one thing. A political sea change occurred last November. It is being manifest in reviews of the many programs that have been expanded due to liberal over reach. Env. Prot. Agcy, Dept of Energy, Dept of Educ. , portions of Agric, Interior, NASA, etc will be reviewed and compared to how far they have moved away from their core functions.
Every spending bill will have some study/hearing and concomitant cuts returning the various Federal Department/Agencies/Services to their core functions.
The next elections may see a completion of the conservative shift in US Federal Govt functions. EPA watch out for what you push!

I think anthropogenic climate
I think anthropogenic climate change alarmism is the greatest threat to our country and our freedoms in decades, but even I, as a full blown rabid climate denialist, would not want the dismanlting of the EPA. Id say this talk of getting rid of the EPA is BS.
anonymous2 replied on Permalink
Anon, not to fear, even if
Anon, not to fear, even if EPA, and others, were dismantled, many parts would continue. Those parts considered core or essential would migrate to another more appropriate Federal Agency.
We desperately need this kind of review to identify and remove redundant functions. Non-core and non-essential functions deserve to be reviewed, prioritized and those below the line removed during these economic times.

Freshmen Study Fermentation
by gwilson on Oct.22, 2009, under Uncategorized
Dr. Tom Benoit has his students taking a deeper look into a topic that all-too-many college students have a great interest in – fermentation. As part of his BIMS 1300 Introduction to Scientific Research class, his students are not focusing on the suds-producing process of alcoholic beverage production but instead on the metabolic process of fermentation conducted by yeast cells when given a ready source of useable carbohydrate. Benoit's class is exploring the impact of modifying a broth medium on the fermentation rate of the common bread yeast, Saccharomyces ellipsoideus. Students are challenged to make modifications to environmental conditions and nutrients in the growth media to see how they impact growth rates, as evidenced by the carbon dioxide production in fermentation tubes. One group is looking at artificial sweeteners based on sugars and comparing growth to that from sucrose, as an example of the type of work being done.
The true value of the work is not in the results they obtain – those things are already known to science. However, they are not necessarily known to these students, and so pursuing this line of investigation helps sharpen their skills in defining a problem, posing interesting questions, designing controlled experiments, and analyzing results. They also sharpen their lab skills by having to set up and conduct a controlled study. Such preparation is essential to insure that they are ready for the moments in future classes when they are charged with designing experiments that delve into the unknown, whether that is in studying medical bacteria, cancer cells, gene sequences, or some other common project in the BIMS program.

GDB minus-5: how to eat an orca whale
Jason Gregor
September 19 2009 12:15PM
Last night I dreamed Dioro Baird had a thing for a shaved head, big mouthed, farm boy from New Sarepta, but when I woke up the only thing spooning me was my pillow.
I guess only Mike Comrie had a fairytale evening last night.
Comrie's four assist and a fight performance was the biggest pre-season performance we've seen in Edmonton in ages, maybe ever. Last year Comrie was in the list of top three most hated former Oilers by all of you, unless someone from the Comrie family is reading this.
And today, most of you are loving him. And why not, he has spunk and clearly he still has some offensive flair.
Six points in two pre-season games so far, for #91, and don't think he doesn't know what Edmontonians like, because he asked Eric Himelfarb to dance, "We were facing off, and I just asked him."
Hockey fans in every city love guys who can fight, hit or score, and if you can combine any of those attributes you become a fan favourite.
The only problem with Comrie's performance is that it muddies the centre position.Though he has been lining up at different positions throughout camp and was playing LW last night he has definitely raised eyebrows amongst the Coaching staff and left heads scratching where to slot him in going forward. It would seem clear that Cogliano will have to move to the wing, because why move Comrie when he is producing the way he has. I know it is only pre-season, but six points in two games, regardless of the opposition is damn impressive.
Comrie will get a day to relax and soak up the fact he is back in the good books in good ole E-town. How can you not cheer for him? He wanted to come back to Edmonton, and money wasn't the issue. He is a proud guy and he wants to prove to his hometown that he isn't a spoiled-brat who turned his back on his hometown. He has matured, and he wants to write another chapter in what might turn out to be one of the best fairy-tales we've seen in Edmonton in a long time.
Lineup tonight
The Oilers will dress another veteran-laden lineup tonight.
Gilbert Brule gets a chance to show he has some offensive flair in his hometown.
Brule— Gagner — Hemsky Penner — Cogliano — Eberle Moreau — Pouliot — Nilsson McDonald — Reddox — MacIntyre
Smid — Souray Motin — Grebeshkov Taylor — Young
JDD and DD in goal.
Interesting to see Reddox in the middle again tonight. He gets treated like the red-headed step child by many Oiler fans, but the coaching staff loves his speed and tenacity on the puck. He is a serious contender for the fourth line centre slot, even though he wasn't on anyone's radar for that spot when camp broke. I don't see him winning that job, but I could see him being the 13th or 14th forward due to his versatility and willingness to compete for the puck.
Nilsson plays the RW tonight. He told me before camp he is comfortable on either wing, and if O'Sullivan stays on the left side, the Oilers don't have anyone who can play the right wing on the 2nd line. Sorry, Eberle isn't ready just yet, and the Oilers won't rush him. Pat Quinn has said on many occasions the Blue Jackets screwed up the development of Brule by not playing him when he was with the big club, and I don't see Quinn doing the same to Eberle. He is very close, but he is still a year away.
The Canucks will start Robert Luongo in goal tonight, so the Oilers' forwards will face their toughest goaltender to date. Both teams come in 3-0 in the preseason, and will the records don't mean anything in a week, you know both teams want to keep their perfect record intact.
The Canucks won't have as many veterans dressed as the Oilers. According to the Oilers site Bieska, Salo, Lukowich and Edler will be on the blueline while Kesler, Johnson, Wellwood, Parrish, Hordichuk and Samuelsson will play up front.
September 19 2009, 12:27PM
We sure could use a 2 or 3 for 1 trade.......
September 19 2009, 12:28PM
Being an Oiler fan on Vancouver Island, I am very, very happy to say.....I WILL FINALLY GET TO WACTH AN OIL GAME....about effin time...
Please kick the crap out of the nuk's tonight boys, just so I don't have to hear about what a great team Vancouver is for another week!!!
September 19 2009, 12:31PM
I can see Comrie's play pushing Horcoff to 3rd line center. I'd sure like to see a 19-91-83 line.
19-91-83 13-89-27 22-10-34 18-67-46
12 and 33 as spares.
@ GREGOR on a side note: When is Comrie switching to #39?
Interesting that Brule is playing wing today. I thought he was a centre. Anyone know what his comfort level is on the wing?
September 19 2009, 12:35PM
So Gregor if you say O'Sullivan is 1LW then would Comrie be 1C cause how do you break those 2 up after what we have seen from the thus far?
September 19 2009, 12:38PM
14 more sleeps!!!!! woooohoooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Does anyone know which games the Oil will were their orange shoulder jerseys this season?
@ Tommy: If you mean the "vintage" jerseys, the answer is most home games. They're treating that as the home jersey and the plain blue one as a "third", ie. only once in a while. Same old boring white for on the road.
September 19 2009, 12:52PM
@ Smokin.Ray. Clearly Mike Comrie will stick with # 91. He called Dougie about wearing it, got the go- ahead yet said it didn't feel right, now has 6 points and a tilt in 2 games, got the building chanting his name, totally redeemed himself to become the toast of the town once again - all while wearing #91. Do you really think there is a chance he switches? I don't.
@ RossCreek: My thoughts exactly

I am intrigued by the idea of Comrie and O'sullivan with Hemsky, yet i think it might be more to our advantage to make them a second line with one of either Gagner, Stone or JFJ playing the remaining position. Keep Horc, Hemsky and Penner together as they have shown that they can be a threat. Then you have two lines with chemistry going into the season opener. The only problem this idea creates is you are once again left with the decision of what to do with Gagner and Cogliano. I don't think either are best suited to the third line roles due to their obvious tallent and lack of size. Perhaps Gagner or Cogs can play on the 1st line if all the talk of Penner being reluctant to be front and centre are true.
Wow I hope he puts up 50+. That would be such a great story, hockey's version of the prodigal son
Penner is playing well too right now. Tough decisions to be made big Quinn and co.
September 19 2009, 01:18PM
Pre-season people. Pre-season.
September 19 2009, 01:25PM
Good to see Brule getting his shot with Hemsky. I hope he gets some nice one-time dishes from either Gagner or Hemsky.

Thats the only was we re-sign him and let either Cogs/Gags go. Maybe if gets 30 he gets Pisani and Moreaus money. Even I applauded Comrie last night. I feel a little dirty and used, and for once that's a bad thing.
September 19 2009, 01:49PM
I'm hoping Pisani gets a game in tomorrow. He has about an inch of rust that needs to be chiseled away.

It's a nice problem to have for once. Too many people achieving or overachieving. What a novel idea for the oilers... too bad it's just preseason so far. Let's hope they can build their confidence and carry that forward into the regular season
I never had a problem with Comrie (and I am not related). I find it a pain to live in the same city as all of my relatives and old high school friends, I cant imagine what it would be like to be a player in the only sport in town... Everyone would be giving you their opinion and advice 24/7, never mind the idiots you knew in high school always calling, etc...

I like these lines S.R., but I would maybe like to switch 34 & 83 and try three lines that are capable of scoring... it also allow us to have a bit of size on every line. We know that Pisani has been known to score as well as play a defensive game. How do you determine who is the first line, and does it really matter?

C'mon. Stone and JFJ in the same sentence as Gagner? Be serious man.
O'Sullivan/Gagner/Comrie would be delicious. Comrie brought more grit and compete than either Stone or JFJ, and whether you want to admit it or not, he's an actual NHL'er. I hate to use this old chestnut, but its a case of the size of the fight in the dog here. Slotting in borderline players because they're bigger and looked OK in an exhibition game or two doesn't strike me as being too rational.

September 19 2009, 02:34PM
It's only pre-season, but still, it's easy to get excited. Seems like a lot of the guys we wrote off, are back in the mix, and what we're seeing so far is that although we don't have the greatest top end talent, we do have more depth than most teams. With 20 guys fighting for 12 spots, we can essentially have three pretty good lines in every pre-season game, without playing the same guy back to back.
Guys like Stone, Jacques and O'Marra need to develop into reliable bottom six players, because we need a new batch of responsible forwards with Moreau and Pisani getting on in years.
I think O'Sullivan and Comrie should be kept together for now, but don't agree that Hemsky should be the third. I'd look for a more north-south player with some drive. Either Cogliano or a motivated Penner.
Cogliano-Horcoff-Hemsky Penner-Comrie-O'Sullivan Jacques-Gagner-Nilsson Moreau-???-Pisani

I put Gagner in there because I feel he would complement the line the best, Stone and JFJ were added because that line is pretty small as it is and I felt someone with size might help run a bit of interference in the crease maybe free some pucks in the corner as well. I had no problem with Comries game or O'sullivan's for that matter. I can see that they are playing well with Stone out there and he isn't simply a roster plug. He is contributing as well. Whether that is due to his line mates or not is yet to be determined.

yes, exactly. Positive stories are great and it's been a while since there has been so much hope and optimism. Calgary iced an AHL team on Tuesday night and last night the Panthers were a tired team that has played a bunch of games across the continent - Sens in Halifax on Tues, Ottawa on Wed., Habs on Thurs. and Oilers on Friday. Yes, they are carrying a big roster too, but that's a heck a lot of travel.

Regardless of who we have been playing it has been refreshing seeing some good old fashioned hard work. Something that was lacking quite often last season.

Yeah I have been curbing my enthusiasm this pre-season simply based on the quality of opponents we have been facing thus far. Yet at the same time these kind of games were the ones we failed to take advantage of last season. The team would find a way to drop gimme games against injury riddled or just plain inferior squads. So its nice to see a win comming from similar situations despite the fact that it doesn't count.

~I'm totally taking Comrie in my draft, let's see - 6 pts in 2 games = 3 pts/game x 82 games = 246 pts. I'm winning this thing for sure~

I can see Comrie's play pushing Horcoff to 3rd line center. I'd sure like to see a 19-91-83 line. 19-91-83 13-89-27 22-10-34 18-67-46 12 and 33 as spares. GAME DAY!!! @ GREGOR on a side note: When is Comrie switching to #39?
Love those lines. I wouldn't normally have liked it, but Comrie has been looking so good in the early going. Especially with O'Sully. I'm not so sure line 3 works, but worth a shot.

When did JFJ become a more valuable asset to the team than Ethan Moreau?
The one game he played in the preseason?
How you would slate JFJ on LW ahead of Moreau confounds me and I picked Moreau as my goat this year.
September 19 2009, 06:37PM
@ Fiveandagame: If it was up to me Moreau wouldnt even be on this team, nevermind be its Captain. That said, JFJ still isnt ahead of Moreau.
September 19 2009, 06:38PM
@ offside: Hah Hah!! 246 PTS, Awesome!
September 19 2009, 06:40PM
@ Fiveandagame:
I would call it balance. If Quinn is going to roll 4 lines I would expect a little bit of a vet spread. The 4th line suits him anyways. Energy is his thing. That and taking dumb penalties.
And he's my goat as well, so I'm biased. :)
September 19 2009, 07:02PM
I buy the balanced argument. nuff said.
If we could roll 4 lines where the 4th is getting 10mins this would be a great team.
Anybody else Loving this Brennan kid? Kid is scary aggressive and is not taking dumb penalties.
September 19 2009, 07:06PM
This is the second time this week there's been an Oilers game and a UFC event on at the same time. I think I may just blow out the seat of my pants if this keeps up.

Oh man. Like I was saying last night I love MacIntyre just as much as everyone else around here, but Brennan looks far more comfortable taking a regular shift. Albeit a fourth line shift, but still. Someones I get worried that MacIntyre is going to just tip over when he's skating hard on the forecheck. He told Gregor he was going to challenge for MacIntyre's spot on the team and it looks like he's doing just that.
September 19 2009, 07:30PM
@ jeanshorts:
Brennan actually looks like a hockey player out there. Mac is a good guy and all but Brennan looks like a hockey player not an ox on skates out there to swing hammers.
A Brennan Brule Storts 4th line would be awesome. Even if he was our 14th guy, you never doubt that he won't be bringing it.
I think he plays a Pat Quinn game. The Pat Quinn hit on Bobby Orr hockey

I have a new sump pump installed and the pipe is going outside on to the lawn in the backyard. It is about 1 1/2 feet away from the house. I want to make it go out further by digging a hole in the lawn and running the black PVC pipe. Anything I need to do other than that? any good webiste or book that can tell me what I need to do? I live in Michigan and it gets a bit cold and snow so how deep does it need to be? Thank you.

It Worked For Me! I Love It!I had never had hair loss before and had grown my hair to a length mid back and it was very healthy and thick (this was a four year effort. That was last year, and unfortunately I began to take a medication that caused my hair to fall out by the handful. About two months into the medication hair was everywhere, on my clothes, the floor, and I began to see masses of hair loss just by running my hands through it. By the time I identified the culprit (always look online for side effects in addition to what the doctor tells you), and stopped the medication, my hair loss continued for two more months.
After reading everything I could about my type of hair loss, I decided to use a serum type of product to encourage my hair re-growth. Osmotics was a name I trusted and no one had complained of a bad smell (it smells like honey), or irritation, so I tried it. I started last November 2010, and I am on my second bottle. I don't shampoo everyday so being able to leave the prior application in was important. I apply it at night while watching TV, just massage it in all over. I have so much hair re-growth I look ridiculous! I have new hair everywhere but it's too short to style! I have cut what little was left of the old length several times, and I know i need patience, but FNS really did the job and my hair is growing. Love it!Mar 5, 2011Mary A. / Southern CAHAIR TYPEBlonde / Curly Hair / Color Treated Hair / Fine or Thin Hair

Its Like Miracle Grow For Your Upstairs Garden (i.e. Your Hair!!This is a really great product- my hair starting falling out after a bad dye job and I tried a few different products before finding FNS. I did read somewhere on the web that people use this product after undergoing chemotherapy and I can see why. I don't know how it works but it works for me. I put it on before going to bed and wake up with a fuller head of hair. Its expensive but it works and delivers value for money overall. Strong recommend you try for any type of hair loss.

Extra Help For Thinning HairI used this serum along with the Osmotics Revitalizing Shampoo and Conditioner for several weeks. This product is to be applied daily and I liked the fact that its directions state that it can still be applied directly to the scalp even if someone does not shampoo their hair everyday. Although the directions state to "apply generously" to the scalp, I found that when I applied what I thought would be considered a generous amount, it left my hair crunchy and with a powder-like white residue when I tried to comb it out. When I contacted the Osmotics company directly about how much to use, they said to only use 2-3 pumps of the product for the whole scalp. I had been using a lot more than that. The problem was rectified when I used the lesser amount. It might be helpful if the directions included the actual recommended amounts. In addition, the product states that it performs best when used with the FNS shampoo and conditioner (6.8 oz each). However, I ran out of both the shampoo and conditioner and was left a bottle of serum (also 6.8 oz) that was still almost three-quarters full. Perhaps that is because I have long hair, so I use plenty shampoo and conditioner while the serum is only used on the scalp at 2-3 pumps at a time. Since the serum is costly and the most expensive part of the system, larger sizes of the shampoo and conditioner would help someone use up more of the serum. Overall, although I would not consider my results dramatic, my hair did seem somewhat thicker after using all three products in the system for several weeks. I could not find any information on the products themselves or on the company's website on the the recommended amount time to use before results should be expected.Jun 23, 2010Adrian

In Which I Tender my (Temporary) Resignation
The other night I sat on the couch next to my husband, laptop in my lap as usual.
"Is there a pattern?" Hot Stuff asked.
"Is there a pattern? You keep clicking through the same pages. I was just wondering if you go in a specific pattern."
And...yeah. He was right. Click, click, click, click, click, click, start over. It makes no sense. It accomplishes nothing. It used to be that blogging and tweeting and reading and finding things online fed me creatively. They spurred me on, encouraged me, challenged me.
Lately? I'm spinning in circles, clicking clicking clicking without ever changing anything. It's not that the internets have changed (oh, internets, you never do change, do you?); it's that I have. Or maybe that I haven't. Whatever it is, I'm a bit stuck right now. I'm not finding inspiration here, but I just keep looking and looking and looking anyway.
So, I'm declaring this NoNoNetMo. November No Net Month. Aside from checking email a couple of times a day for professional things, I'm going to take a big step back. A huge step back. A scary step back. I used to find so much joy and entertainment in blogging. I hope to get there again. But in the meantime I'm going to look elsewhere. I'm going to watch movies and listen to music and read boatloads of books and do things to feed myself creatively. I'm going to stop doing the things I know are draining me.
I used to think, "If I don't post anything, no one will care!" But I'll admit it's kind of a relief to realize that no one will care if I don't post anything. I won't lose any readers; people won't forget I exist. I'll take my month, you'll get along just fine, and think of how refreshed we'll all be when we meet back up again!
As always, thank you for being here. Thank you for reading my blog, and enjoying my writing, and supporting my career. I'm so incredibly grateful for all of you. And I'm going to take this month to refocus and wallow in gratitude for the freaking amazing life I have.
Until then, all best,

I hear you and second that motion. I just took a month off from eating chocolate and shopping and, somehow, survived it. I've also been blogging far more infrequently and have still gained followers.
Social networking is a time-consuming endeavor. Take all the time you need. Do what you need to do for your sanity and creativity. Your "real" friends and fans will be here through it all, on that you can depend. ;-)

I've always loved your blog, it was one of the very first "writerly" blogs that I followed. But I do understand the need to pull yourself away. Give yourself a break and enjoy the other addictions out there. Like TV, there's some wacky things out there right now. Oh and family time, that's also a good addiction to have.
I hope you have a good, relaxing time off. I hope to see that you start to enjoy the blogging again, but it should be somethig YOU enjoy. Not just something you do because you feel you have to to charm and amuse us.

There's a lot of this going around. Many of us are burned out on our blogs and social media sites. There's nothing wrong with taking a break - in fact, it's healthy.

I don't know if you'll ever read this but I just watned to tell you about my mother. My mother started by having two beautiful kids. and then for the next five years she kept having miscarriges. She was so scared but while some people were very supportive, some other weren't. for example, they went to an adoption agency and the people there looked at them as if they were crazy: "you already have two kids of you own, why do you want to adopt?". The thing is, even if it is a blessing to have children, and nothingg can take that happiness away, its always hard to not be able to expand your family. i don't know anything about yoiur own infertility issues but I just wanted to point out, that after five long years without kids my mom ended up making three more. So don't give up.

The Arapeen OHV Trail System is located in south central Utah in the Manti-La Sal National Forest. More than 350 miles of ATV and 4X4 routes are included in the system. The backbone of the system is the scenic South Skyline Drive which is a rugged 4X4 experience for most of its 58-mile length from Utah Highway 31 on the north to the Fishlake National Forest boundary on the south.
Access to the western side of the trail system occurs from Sanpete Valley and US Highway 89. Principal access points include 4X4 route #4 in Spring City Canyon, ATV route #3 in Manti Canyon, and ATV route #2 in Twelve Mile Canyon east of Mayfield.
Access to the eastern side occurs from the communities of Castle Dale and Ferron which are located along Utah Highway 10. Principal access points include ATV route #5 west of Joe's Valley Reservoir, ATV route #62 from Ferron Canyon, and 4X4 route #7 also located in Ferron Canyon.
ATV routes shown on the Arapeen Trail System map include sections passable only by ATVs (vehicles 52" or less in width) along with other sections where ATVs share the use of forest roads. ATV routes are also shared by horses, mountain bikes, and hikers so please watch out for other outdoor enthusiasts.
4X4 routes shown on the Arapeen Trail System map include sections passable only by high clearance four wheel drives along with other sections that may be graded or graveled roads shared with standard passenger cars. 4X4 routes are also shared by ATVs.
Other Forest roads shown on the Arapeen Trail System map are open to ATV and 4X4 travel but these are generally dead end routes with no opportunity for a loop experience. All travel on the forest is restricted to designated roads and trails.
The trail system is generally open beginning late-May although trails to high elevation areas may not be accessible until July 1. Winter snows generally close most trails to use by early November. Individual trails are also periodically closed to protect wildlife on winter range, movement of cattle on and off the forest, or for maintenance and reconstruction activities.
These trails are being developed and maintained for your use and enjoyment through a cooperative effort by the Manti-La Sal National Forest, Utah State Parks and Recreation, Arapeen Trail Council, Goodwill Riders, and many local volunteers. Please recognize that it is a privilege to use this trail system. Familiarize yourself with the signing protocol, ride within your abilities, leave the land better than you found it, and be safe!
For more information or to register for the Jamboree or any of the rides, call Mark H Williams at 381-2493 or 749-1600, or check out the Web site at www.arapeenatvjam.org.

Gospel Reading
Document Actions
16th Wednesday after Pentecost
The Gospel according to Mark 6:7-13
At that time, Jesus called to him his twelve disciples and began to send them out two by two, and gave them authority over the unclean spirits. He charged them to take nothing for their journey except a staff; no bread, no bag, no money in their belts; but to wear sandals and not put on two tunics. And he said to them, "Where you enter a house, stay there until you leave the place. And if any place will not receive you and they refuse to hear you, when you leave, shake off the dust that is on your feet for a testimony against them." So they went out and preached that men should repent. And they cast out many demons, and anointed with oil many that were sick and healed them.

Haunted Henricus
Spirits live on at renovated historic site
By Patty Kruszewski, Citizen Managing Editor 11/01/12
Editor's note: This is the first installment in a series about ghosts of Henrico.
Another Halloween has come and gone, but in various sites in and around Henrico, the haunting goes on year-round.
On Oct. 19, in fact, a group of twenty overnight visitors to Henricus Historical Park actually encouraged visits from the spirit world.
As part of the "Haunted Henricus: Things That Go Bump in the Night" program, a special overnight investigation was held with representatives from Transcend Paranormal, who shared their findings of modern-day paranormal activity at the park. After being assigned period beds and straw-stuffed mattresses in the reconstructed park hospital, visitors were invited to stay up past the official 2 a.m. bedtime if they wanted to tag along on an extended ghost investigation with the paranormal ghost-hunting team.
During the first round of the sleepover, which kicked off at 9 p.m., guests were accompanied by a guide with a lantern as they toured a series of campfires manned by various costumed interpreters in 17th-century character.
"Halt! Be ye men or devils?" challenged the lookout at one fire. As the campers neared the hospital, Mt. Malady, a second lookout asked the group, "What madness possesses you to be out at night? There are savages about. In with you, where you are safe!"
At the nearby watchtower, a watchman played drums trying to rouse the spirit of Sir Francis Drake to lead residents out of danger. Meanwhile, inside the hospital, a recently departed resident of Henricus lay covered in a shroud.
"Is one of you the sin-eater?" her caretakers asked the visitors anxiously, offering bread and ale to anyone in the group who could absolve the soul of the deceased and keep it from wandering. Hearing no takers, they showed the visitors out the door, pausing only to sprinkle salt in a ritual designed to help guide the travelers on their journey.
Along the trail between the buildings, guests heard a variety of old English legends and native lore, such as the tale of the young Indian brave who went searching for food for his starving family after a snowstorm and encountered the mythical Wendigo. In another story, a man made a bargain with the Evil One and agreed to pay with his skin at the end of his life – but then sought to renege as the end drew near. Other storytellers described methods of trapping witches, and demonstrated the craft of making charms to ward off evil spirits, using bottles filled with hair, nail clippings and pins.
Residents of Norfolkshire had a different method of keeping the evil spirits away, said one storyteller; they would build a bonfire out of straw on the hill, and pitch burning clumps into the air to keep the low-flying spirits at bay. They would also keep a cut piece of straw on hand to stab the Evil One through the heart.
"It is said," the interpreter noted, "that if you can spit over [Satan's] head between his horns, that will dispense with him.
"But that seems like it could end badly," he added doubtfully. "So I keep my piece of straw about."
Site of struggle, tragedy
For the next phase of the overnight, which lasted until midnight, visitors traveled from building to building in the park and heard ghost stories about hauntings that have actually happened around Henricus.
John Pagano, the site manager for the park, reminded guests that the site is steeped in four centuries of struggle and tragedy.
"You're on top of 400 years of people dying in various ways," Pagano told visitors as they gathered in the Planter's House. "Indian attacks, disease; think of the mortality rate. Most of the people here suffered and had tragedy."
So it shouldn't be surprising, Pagano went on, that the spirit world appears to so active at Henricus, or that Transcend Paranormal teams visit the site several times a year to investigate. The 1622 Indian massacre took place only a mile or two away, and a Civil War cemetery is located adjacent to Mount Malady.
What's more, said Pagano, Reverend Whitaker, who inhabited the original parsonage that has been re-created at Rocke Hall, is known to have drowned in the river nearby after falling off a boat. Although he was the most prominent minister in Virginia at the time, there was no investigation into the death – suspicious circumstances that some historians suggest hint of scandal, said Pagano.
At any rate, he summed up, the place is clearly the home of many long-departed souls. "It's not 'violent' haunted, but 'curiosity' haunted," Pagano stated. "There are all kinds of bangs and bumps, voices and footsteps."
Nevertheless, Pagano remarked that he has slept alone at the Planter's House on only two occasions.
"The first time was interesting," he said. "But the second time, my mind started to go."
A legend grows
Growing up near Sleepy Hollow in New York, Pagano said, he was always a doubter when it came to the paranormal – until a harrowing, late-night encounter in college with the famed Headless Horseman.
On a lark, he and a group of friends went looking for the unmarked grave of the horseman – a real-life Hessian decapitated in battle – in the cemetery of a 17th-century church at midnight. Noticing that something seemed to be following them on the adjacent ridge, the friends began to hear sounds of a hard object dragging on leaves, and were shocked to see what looked to be a square block of black moss crashing through the trees towards them.
The group ran for the car and drove away in a panic, stopping at a farm a mile down the road to rest and try to make sense of what they had seen. "We were all in shock," said Pagano, describing his friends' "thousand-mile stares." But before they could even catch their breath to speak, the friends spotted a horse galloping on the ridge. They stayed just long enough to hear the horse neigh and catch a glimpse of its two red eyes and the person mounted on its back. And they drove off in a panic again – all the way home this time.
"I've been sensitive to spirits ever since," Pagano said.
Henricus encounters
In his five years at Henricus, Pagano has had multiple encounters with spirits at the park. But he is not the only one.
One of his part-time employees was doing chores in the Planter's House, he recalled, and trying to get a fire going. When she glanced in a corner, she suddenly saw a woman dressed in 17th-century garb sitting there. "It startled her so much she left the building and came and found me," said Pagano, who could see nothing when he arrived.
Other staff members have heard scratching on tables, felt tables move, seen people in the shadows, walked into empty rooms to find lanterns swinging, and felt hands on their legs. One time an interpreter's bandolier was suddenly yanked up and then dropped by an unseen hand. Pagano reports having his breeches grabbed from the side of his thigh and pulled.
Most of the visions that have been sighted seem to feature women, he noted, or have connections to children; staff members speculate that they may have been victims of the nearby massacre. Women appear to hover or linger over different sites, and once a woman's voice was heard yelling three times. Pagano was standing near an open window once, talking to a visitor, when a 17th-century woman passed by who was not part of the staff.
"Did you see her?" he asked the visitor, and was disappointed to hear the visitor reply, "No, I was looking at you."
The majority of his experiences with the spirits of Henricus, said Pagano, occur in the daytime. Because Rocke Hall, the re-created parsonage, is the newest and nicest building in the complex, he spends most of his quiet time sewing or writing there.
"One time, closing a window, I felt a small hand go down my back," he said. Another time as he was closing a window, he distinctly heard someone sigh heavily three times. Female staff members have reported the feeling of being touched inappropriately in the parsonage, even when they were the only ones there. And on a 30-degree day when no visitors were in the park, Pagano recalled, "I heard running around the corner of the house two separate children, laughing."
"This building's definitely got some edgy stuff," said Pagano.

ACLU urges McAuliffe to veto anti-immigration bills
By Rodrigo Arriaza and Maura Mazurowski, Capital News Service 02/24/2017 General AssemblyGeneral Assembly 2017
Officials with the American Civil Liberties Union called on Gov. Terry McAuliffe on Wednesday to veto Republican-backed legislation banning local governments in Virginia from designating themselves as sanctuaries for undocumented immigrants. They also said they plan to fight federal and state policies that they believe violate immigrants' rights.
At a news conference, representatives of the ACLU of Virginia and other civil rights organizations criticized anti-immigrant measures passed by the General Assembly. They also condemned the recent spike in deportation raids on immigrant communities in Virginia by federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement, as well as President Donald Trump's recent executive order banning immigrants from seven mostly Muslim countries. > Read more.
