Johnny Manziel drafted after Browns owner consulted homeless man, ESPN reports
After an agonizing two-hour, 45-minute wait in the green room, Johnny Manziel is now a Cleveland Brown. And apparently he's got a homeless guy to thank for his new gig.
Manziel's fall through the ranks was one of the early stories of the draft, and once he was picked, ESPN cut to Sal Paolantonio in Cleveland with one heck of a strange story. According to Paolantonio, Browns owner Jimmy Haslam received guidance from an unlikely source.
"Here in Cleveland, everywhere I go, people know me," Haslam told Paolantonio. "I was out to dinner recently. A homeless person was out on the street. He looked up at me and said, 'Draft Manziel.'"
And that's all it took, apparently, to convince Haslam that Browns fans wanted Manziel. Cleveland!
Oh, and that wasn't all. The Browns' Twitter feed was a little too excited to announce Manziel:
[Via Awful Announcing]
"22th." Ouch. This is going to be fun.

MAS Introduces Regulatory Framework for Credit Rating Agencies
The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) will implement the regulatory framework for Credit Rating Agencies (CRA) with effect from January 17.
MAS had issued a consultation paper on the proposed CRA regulatory framework in March 2011, as well as conducted discussions with the industry and market practitioners. MAS has carefully considered the responses received and thanks all respondents for their constructive and useful feedback. (Click here to view MAS' response to the feedback received).
Under the new CRA regulatory framework, the provision of credit rating services will be regulated under the Securities and Futures Act (SFA). CRAs will consequently have to be licensed under the Capital Markets Services (CMS) licensing regime under the SFA and be subject to licensing obligations. CRAs will be required to comply with existing Regulations, Guidelines and Notices under the SFA that apply to all CMS licensees. In addition, CRAs will also have to comply with a new Code of Conduct for CRAs that MAS will introduce in conjunction with the establishing of a regulatory regime for CRAs.
MAS will also require CMS licensees providing credit rating services to appoint and register under the Representative Notification Framework any individual who acts as their representative in providing credit rating services. Representatives providing credit rating services will be required to hold at minimum a Bachelor's degree in a relevant discipline that will allow them to perform the job function effectively.
Existing CRAs will be given a transition period of 6 months to apply for the required licence. For more information on the CRA regulation and new requirements, please refer to the following link: http://www.mas.gov.sg/legislation_guidelines/securities_futures/sub_legislation/SFA_Content_Page.html

Settlements at the Edge
Remote Human Settlements in Developed Nations
Edited by Andrew Taylor, Dean B. Carson, Prescott C. Ensign, Lee Huskey, Rasmus O. Rasmussen and Gertrude Saxinger
Chapter 9: Land rights and their influence on settlement patterns
Jan Salmon and Wayne Edwards
Jan Salmon and Wayne Edwards INTRODUCTION This chapter compares the land rights of Indigenous people in the United States and in the Northern Territory, Australia. In both cases, the Indigenous peoples were the traditional owners of land but were displaced and dispossessed of their lands with the arrival of white settlers. This occurred violently through the use of guns, poison and disease, and the degradation of natural habitats. In the cases of the American Indians and the Northern Territory Indigenous people a reserve system was used to isolate Indigenous people, which led to a mixing of different tribes on lands which were not necessarily ancestral lands. The historical events that led to Indigenous land rights differed, as did the mechanisms to establish land rights, treaties, corporation laws and laws acknowledging traditional ties to lands. However, the communality of a narrow economic base has had similar implications for lifestyles and settlement patterns for Indigenous people in the United States and the Northern Territory. Sovereignty among Indigenous Peoples in the United States In the United States, there are three aggregated groups of Indigenous peoples: American Indians, Alaska Natives and Native Hawaiians. People in all three groups lost ancestral lands to white settlers, and all three groups have made attempts to regain some of their land and obtain sovereign recognition from the federal government. Only American Indians have achieved any measure of sovereignty, while both American Indians and Alaska Natives have received settlements involving the transfer of land and other assets from the...

A very beautiful story and very creative. Its the one ending that no one ever mentioned. Your last paragraph is especially beautiful.

"To Captain Janeway's dog." A good story, though that was a bit of a nasty thing to do to the poor old Captain ;) The ending is very good. Well done!

| janey chapter 1 . 1/9/2001
Here! Here! Email that one to the powers that be! A beautiful ending, right for them, not going down in a blaze of glory, not giving up or in, but doing what they were meant to: EXPLORE. As Q said in "All Good Things..." (TNG), "not mapping stars or studying nebula, but charting the unknown possibilities of existence."
| Sparks chapter 1 . 1/1/2001
Sad! Damn, I seem to be making a habit of starting reviews like that! But it is! I can't believe that they got thrown however-many lightyears back to where they started! Oh God, that was sad! I really am crying now! Write more, you're really good. You have really cool stories! Write more!

my g-d that was amazing!
| Jaala chapter 1 . 12/10/2000

Just when I think you can't possibly top your last story, you amaze me yet again! I think that one may actually be my favorite! I am continually amazed at your ability to capture Janeway as I see her in my mind. And you did a phenomonal job on the borg as well. Her last line almost made me fall out of my chair, it was so dead on! Bravo again! I am your devoted fan for life.
| Robin4 chapter 1 . 12/8/2000
That was incredibly touching. I don't know what to say about it other than it's an incredible story. I'll be the first to admit that I want to see Voyager come home, but if they don't, let it be like this. You wrote a very special story.

Oh wow! That was great! I really enjoyed it! It even made me cry a little! *wipes tears from eyes* You did a great job! You know, thats how it could end!
Again, great job! Keep it up!
| pari106 chapter 1 . 12/7/2000
Excellent! I love your interpretation of Janeway's little shoulder-squeezes. I never thought of it that way! Your writing is an interesting mix of humor, action, and angst. At the beginning I felt like laughing - by the end I almost wanted to cry! I loved it! Great job!

There are few words to desvribe this story it was very touching. Please write more like it. Again I say it was great.

I'm telling everyone something right now, if PEI tasted like a Hamburger, the Tropical Storm is it, people!
Today, I experienced my 20th Burger Love creation of 2014 and it's the perfect representation of a Burger that stands for every generation and is fueled by the selfless passion of Chef, Owner and Tropical Storm Creator, Paul Haddad. It was my first visit to the Prince Edward Restaurant and now I know what all the buzz is about, from my first taste it was apparent why I often see cars flocking to the Prince Edward to satisfy their hunger with down to earth, honest to goodness PEI fare.
It's family friendly atmosphere was even more apparent from my waitress Kristie who's so friendly and personable that not only did she get along with me like a friend but I also observed that she was just as genuine and caring with every other guest at the Prince Edward! We're talking about some seriously awesome people that made my experience memorable before i even got to the Burger!
Speaking of which, this Tropical Storm is just as welcome as the Burgers in April and it's just the weather shift we've been waiting for!
There's so much to love, starting with 12 of pure Island Beef and complimenting it with PEI Handcrafted Cheddar Cheese, Homemade Sweet & Spicy Tangy Sauce, Grilled Onions, Relish, Smoked Island Honey Ham, Jalapeno Havarti, Triple Smoked Bacon, Pickles, Fresh Tomato, Iceberg Lettuce and Ketchup all on a Toasted Sesame Bun!
And I'll tell you right now, the Tropical Storm is a smooth talker! From my very first bite, it had me captivated and wanting to know more and more of it's amazing flavors that bring you more in love with each bite. Completely blown away by this taste of pure PEI tradition, I just couldn't want to get on my blog and tell all of you about this Burger that's fueled by what's made Islanders adore burgers for decades!
Everything about this burger is exactly what your dreaming off with a tempting scent and tangy heat that's just enough warm your heart like a Summer's Day! With refreshing toppers of sweet and juicy fruit, I had a great time indulging in the luscious strawberry, crisp honeydew melon and of course, my favorite, the always perfect...pineapple!
Of course, all the fruit was tasty and great but let's talk about what we're all here for, the beef!
With it's deep and rich flavor, there's no quality spared on this massively impressive Burger, All 12oz of Island Beef are so fresh that it melts on your mouth and tastes like pure PEI. The triple smoked bacon is so crispy and has a perfect crunch with smoke that stands up boldly in this burger of dynamic flavors. Next the Honey Ham is succulent while being smoky and sweet, bringing together all of the meats with the rest of the Storm's yumminess. Of course, since this is all Island meats it completes the package and ties this burger up with a bow of genuine local flavor!
And with no types of cheese it's no wonder this Burger is a dream come true for me! They lend their flavors to every bit of this burger and create a party in your mouth with their creamy, savory and even a little bit of spicy. The ADL Handcrafted Cheddar is even lovingly hand sliced from the massively awesome blocks that the Prince Edward Restaurant orders in. No wonder everything tastes so fresh. And that Jalapeno Havarti had just enough attitude that anyone can enjoy it's pleasant subtle heat while savoring the smooth coolness of the cheese's base.
With all the fresh veggies in the mix, the Tropical Storm his that careful balance of epic Burger Love beauty and classically loved Burger for the ages. It's divine and flavor packed with the pickles and condiments giving it a sensation of the most delicious mustard pickles your Grandmother can't even make! The grilled onions add another sweet and savory piece to this culinary treasure that's got Chef Paul's years of expert knowledge behind it. Oh and of course, you didn't think I'd forget that Heavenly Sweet & Spicy Tangy Sauce, did you? Well, Chef Paul worked hard at perfecting the ideal flavor for his Burger Love creation and it's part of what makes this Burger worthy of your love!
Ever heard of the rare conditions that need to take place in order for a so called "Perfect Storm" to take place? Well meteorologists, you've met your match, this is the Perfect Storm!
And of course such a perfect burger needs a perfect side! I got a combination of Deep Fried Mushrooms and Sweet Potato Fries to go along side the Tropical Storm and they were magnificent! The Deep Fried Mushrooms were so yummy, their's natural warmth accentuated by the coating and then countered by the cool, light and creamy ranch dip with which they were paired. I could have sat and ate those crunchy little morsels one after another for a good long time and I will be returning for more! And those Sweet Potato Fries? They're sweet fries. Seriously, those are some happy potatoes right there, thin, crisp and all ready for you to rejoice in like the rest of the awesome food at the Prince Edward!
Well, I think I've made my impression pretty clear. The Tropical Storm is a true and satisfying meal through and through with that unique taste that makes it an Islander in and of itself. I kept licking my fingers so I wouldn't miss one little taste, it was just that excellent!
And let me just add...I love ya Boomer, but I have to say that you've never gave forecast of a storm as great as this one!

Shown Here:
Introduced in Senate (07/21/2009)
Student Breakfast and Education Improvement Act of 2009 - Amends the Child Nutrition Act of 1966 to require the Secretary of Agriculture to award competitive grants to state or local educational agencies (LEAs) for the establishment or enhancement of school breakfast programs at, and through the provision of subgrants to, schools where at least 65% of the students are eligible for free or reduced-price school lunches under the school lunch program.
Authorizes schools to use the school breakfast subgrants to: (1) increase the quantity of local or fresh food available under their programs; (2) provide nutrition education and first-hand knowledge of food systems to students; (3) extend the period during which breakfast is available, including during the school day; (4) increase participation in their breakfast programs, including through the provision of universal free breakfasts; or (5) collaborate with institutions of higher education or other research entities in compiling data and reports on their breakfast programs.
Gives priority to subgrant applicant schools at least 75% of whose students are eligible for free or reduced-price school lunches and which intend to use the funds to procure local produce, provide universal free breakfasts, or provide breakfast during the school day.
Directs grantees, at least 180 days before the end of a grant term, to evaluate whether it would be cost-effective for subgrantee schools to provide universal free breakfasts under the school breakfast program.

"I was actually a much better basketball player in high school than I was a football player," says Davis, now resident of Wayside, N.J., and the backup quarterback Joe Namath of the New York Jets.
"I chose football because at the time I thought there would be more money in it," said Davis, who went on to become a one‐man offense at the University of Virginia, setting many school records. "There was a money war going on between the American Football League and the National Football League then.
"But in my senior year in college the two leagues decided to merge, ending the money war, and soon after that the rival basketball league [American Basketball Association] came into being. So it looks like I made the wrong choice.
"Actually, though, I love football," said Davis. "I've got a lot of satisfaction out of playing it and I make my living at it. So I'm really not sorry about choosing it at all."Continue reading the main story
However, around this time of year, Davis usually gets a chance to put down The Duke, which is the name of the National Football League's official ball and pick up the big round basketball he still loves.
The 6‐foot‐2‐inch, 205‐pound Davis is a member of the basketball team made up of pro football players that plays for fun, a little profit and a lot of charities all over the tristate area of New Jersey, New York and Connecticut.
Some of the other Jersey residents on the team, according to Davis, are Bob Tucker, the New York Giants' tight end from Lincroft; Phil Villapiano, Oakland Raider linebacker, from Ocean Township, and Ron Johnson, Giant running back, now a resident of Fort Lee.
In addition, some Jets who live in New York or Long Island also play for the team. They are Rich Caster, tight end; Ed Bell, wide receiver; Roger Finnie, defensive lineman; Emerson Boozer, running back; Ralph Baker, linebacker, plus two defensive backs, Pete Athas of the Giants and John Dockery, the ex‐Jet who was traded to the Pittsburgh Steelers last season.
"Last year we used to play as just the Jets, but this year I think we'll call ourselves the Football Basketball AllStars or something," said Davis, one of the leading scorers along with Bell.
They usually play about 30 games a season from January through April. There are still some open dates you want them to play for your charity, high school student council, Lions Club, Rotary or whatever. They don't play for free, but are usually worth the price.
Right now the team is scheduled to open the season Jan. 20 in Milford, Conn., but they'll play any week night. If you would like to book them, you can reach Saul Rubin at 220 Monmouth Road, Oakhurst, N. J., or telephone 201‐531‐8900.
What about the players' respective clubs? Football coaches usually wince when they hear that their prize football players are playing basketball, a game in which they could be injured, ruining their careers and the club's investment.
"I know sometimes the coaches don't like it, but the guys would go down to the local gym and play basketball during the winter anyway, so they don't say anything," said Davis.
Anyway, it's something to do until the first of July when Davis and Villapiano reopen their football camp South Jersey.
Then it's back to The Duke.Continue reading the main story

Police found drugs and fake IDs after stopping a vehicle in an area of Murrieta Wednesday, July 13, prompting the arrest of three people.
David Ronald McPherson, 55, of Temecula, Rhiannon Elysse Alvarado, 27, of Lake Elsinore and Danyelle Denise Dunbar, 46, of Lake Elsinore were all arrested.
McPherson was arrested on suspicion of possessing a controlled substance, forging or altering an ID card and committing a felony while out on bail. He was booked into the Southwest Detention Center in French Valley and released the same day on $30,000 bail, according to jail records.
Alvarado was arrested on suspicion of possessing another person's ID, possessing a controlled substance, possessing controlled substance paraphernalia, violating her probation and for five outstanding misdemeanor warrants. She remained in custody at Larry D. Smith Correctional Facility in Banning with bail set at $20,000, online jail records show.
Dunbar was arrested on suspicion of possessing a controlled substance, possessing controlled substance paraphernalia, forgery, forging or altering an ID card and violation of probation. She remained in custody at Robert Presley Detention Center with bail set at $230,000, according to online jail records.
Police say they were doing a patrol of the area of Ridgewalk Street and Ambervalley Avenue in Murrieta when they saw a car circling the area with McPherson, Alvarado and Dunbar inside.
All three were on some form of probation or supervision.
They stopped the vehicle and say they discovered a fake ID and narcotics on McPherson's person. They say they discovered a stolen ID, narcotics, and narcotics paraphernalia on Alvardo's person. They say they found narcotics, narcotics paraphernalia, a digital measuring scale, a fake ID and a stamp commonly used in forgery after searching Dunbar.
Police then took the three into custody.

Why valorize the concept of a sex life simply because it's a sex life?
–Sophie Fontanel
I've been a good girl for as long as I can remember. I don't like to jaywalk, I prefer eating desserts after meals, always after noon. And I'm morbidly respectful and afraid of the law keepers. I literally stop breathing when I see a law enforcement officer.
It makes sense, in a way, that I was a virgin on my honeymoon. This was a rule that I would rather die than break (a fear that has driven more than one good, Christian girl to Planned Parenthood). I was raised by protective parents who screened ever boy who wanted to take me anywhere. Literally, anytime a guy wanted to drive me, dine me, date me (a loose definition in my home including any one-on-one activity), he would be invited to my home for a meal and a talk with my father about his 911 Porshe. They'd walk into the garage to marvel at its power and beauty. Then, came the one-liner my father was renown for, "My daughter is worth much, much more than my Porshe. Don't spin the wheels."
It was a talk that became a classic. I'm still realizing how much it meant to me. I see that it cost my dad something to give it. Embarrassing though it was to watch every guy screened (I always wondered if they'd stick around after the talk), annoying though it felt that my father made them responsible for me ("If you're late," he'd say, "I'll hold you responsible."), my dad protected me in a way many fathers do not protect their daughters.
I've written a lot about how the purity culture enshrines virginity with more pricelessness (and more shame) than Jesus ever did (Breaking Shame: Why Purity Culture Works), but those posts need the balancing weight, I believe, of the value of virginity in the first place.
I figure it's time to talk about a few benefits of virgin living.
Before I launch in, let me give two important caveats. Not all women get to choose. A growing number of women (and men) were not consulted when a man violated their bodies. The violation of rape turns a woman's body against her, creating something both horrifying and pleasing in her sexual organs, compounding shame and fear of her sexual power. I don't want to pretend that virginity is an option for all women, because it's not. And there's not just cases of rape to contend with, there are those who are pressured or so hungry for belonging that sex seems to provide satiation: that of being known and loved and belonging. That sex does or does not satiate is not the point here. I think of Jason Bourne (a fictional character, I know) who finds himself making love to the only woman who cares about him (no, they're not married). As the camera pans out, the hotel's name is revealed, "Hôtel de la Paix" (Hotel of Peace). Sometimes illegitimate sex still brings peace (consider if Tamar felt peace as she finally conceived twin descendant for the line of her dead husband, even though she played a prostitute with her father-in-law to secure her pregnancy. Gen 28). I'm not saying I think sex outside of marriage is good (though it can feel good and even cause good, see Sarah Moon's Once Upon a Cheap Hotel Room for more), however God used Tamar even for the line for his son to come into the world (Matt 1:3). That gives me pause. So I write about the blessings of virginity, not to shame those who have been violated or to shame those who have chosen sexual activity as a way to enjoy, belong, find love. I actually believe the grief of rape becomes even clearer when we realize the significance of virginity and the violated right to choose who will enter our sacred space.
Second, I'm about to talk so passionately about the benefits of virgin living, some may wish to psychoanalyze me as speaking of a personal wish. This would be a mistake.
I've just finished Sophie Fontanel's memoir The Art of Sleeping Alone: Why One French Woman Suddenly Gave Up Sex, a sensual story of vulnerable desires (WSJ Review, The Telegraph Review) in which we learn that Fontanel knows virginal living is the "worst insubordination of our times."
An editor for the fashion magazine, Elle, Fontanel still decides, "I've had it with being taken and rattled around. I've had it with handing myself over. I'd say yes too much. I hadn't taken into account the tranquility my body required."
She dares to be different and observes the reaction of her admiring, then bemused, then alarmed friends and ex-lovers. She becomes a holy woman, sealed off from normal sexual practice and suddenly a confidante for all her friend's sexual trials. With complete lack of ethical or religious motivation, Fontanel gives an apologetic for virginity as a good gift to oneself.
She lands on my favorite reason to respect those who choose to sleep alone. Virgin blessings begin with a sacred place where none can enter or rattle or leak their juices on our flesh. Virginity always entails more cleanliness (ph balance of the vagina alone), virginity means less visits to the doc. There's less new flora and fauna entering and leaving. We have time for our bodies' divine pleasures, unnecessary are the personal grooming habits requested by our lovers. Soap and bubbles are for our bodies' smells, not to wash off another's scent on our skin. Virginity means more privacy, more bubble baths without a thought for our next bare presentation.
Virginal blessing number two: more energy. Let me be frank that sex takes time, and energy, and a bit of exhaustion if you make your body available regularly (because you want to, of course). Virgins have more energy to pool for other things. As Fontanel puts it, "The most interesting characters exist above sex. It's not an infirmity. They simply have better things to do with their lives."
Virginal blessing number three: touch means more. Fontanel devotes a wonderful chapter to discovering the way a masseuse coaxed out something hidden in her body. "A little faun destined for delight had been crouched waiting inside me, having hidden under a chest of drawers during my great invasions. Now the faun was coming back to life." The physical contact taught Fontanel her contours, her boundaries. "A woman in a clinging silk jersey understand what that dress contains. Dreamily, she verifies herself." When you are not touched except for a handshake or a tap on the arm by a stranger, every time a man takes you by the eyes and holds your gaze, you notice. Any time a friend reaches to hug you and keeps you warm in their embrace, you catch your breath. The kiss goodnight holds more focus, the rub on your back means more sensual delight because you are not being taken. Your hands become your own, your stomach and eyes, and earlobes, neck and thighs are yours, again.
Virginal blessing number four: your turn to suggest a few more.

Most of us have heard the term 'comfort eating'. I know the phrase all too well. A bad day can still occasionally lead to me devouring a couple bars of chocolate or a few donuts.
Comfort eating makes me feel better about myself for a short period of time. It's taking the easy route. But it's not healthy, and it's not valuing myself or my body.
And strangely enough, it's the same with writing.
When we turn pro, we give up a life with which we may have become extremely comfortable.
~Steven Pressfield, Turning Pro (Tweet This Quote)
I've been blogging for several years and I've trained myself to write a decent post.
But I've written posts and not gone over them as much as I should have before posting them.
Now in one sense this is a good idea. To get into the habit of writing posts effectively and efficiently is good. At times we need to write and publish quickly – and sometimes, it can challenge us and help us grow.
But there is a difference between this, and what I call 'comfort writing'.
Last year I got an opportunity to guest post for a site with a much larger readership than my own. It was a huge opportunity for me.
So do you think I wrote an every day standard blog post?
Of course not. I worked extra diligently on the post. I went through several drafts before finally submitting the post to be published. I took my time, I made sure nothing was left to chance.
As a result, it turned out to be one of my best. It got a positive response from a lot of people.
But I realized then I wasn't giving blog posts for my own blog the same time and attention. Without knowing it, I'd lowered my standards for my own blog.
I was comfort writing.
All writers can be tempted to comfort write. But when you comfort write, you are settling for second best. You won't be growing as a writer, you'll be stagnating.
And you're not valuing the gift you've been given.
Comfort writing can occur unexpectedly, often without you even realizing it. You get into a habit of writing and posting and for whatever reason – tiredness, complacency or just plain laziness – you don't pay quite as much attention to the quality.
When writing and blogging begins to feel like a hobby, or you feel you can get away with spending less time on posts, or you don't feel like you're growing as a writer, you're most likely comfort writing.
It's a temptation which strikes us all.
So how can we avoid comfort writing?
Here's some tips:
1) Ask yourself 'Would a major blogger publish this?'
Before you decide to publish any piece of writing, stop and ask yourself "If I was submitting this to a major blog (i.e.: Relevant Magazine, Seth Godin, Michael Hyatt), would it be of sufficient standard for them?"
If the answer is no, then it shouldn't be good enough for you either.
2) Don't publish the first draft
Try to avoid posting the first draft. Go back and edit, and be ruthless. Give the message time to marinade – leave it and come back to it later.
3) Be a pro, not an amateur
Don't write like it's a hobby. If you want to grow as a writer, you need to be professional in your attitude. A great book for this is "Turning Pro" by Steven Pressfield. In it he writes:
The difference between an amateur and a professional is in their habits. An amateur has amateur habits. A professional has professional habits.
4) Get regular feedback
This isn't necessary true for every piece, but sometimes it's good to get others feedback on your work before you publish it. Find someone whose judgment you trust and who'll be honest, and ask them to critique your writing regularly.
A wise second pair of eyes is invaluable to maintaining your standards.
It's easy for us to fall into the trap of comfort writing. I have done it, and you probably have too. But we need to avoid it as much as we can.
So take these steps today. Not only will you avoid comfort writing, it will mean something amazing:
You'll closer to becoming the writer you were made to be.

"'Do not seek revenge or bear a grudge against anyone among your people, but love your neighbor as yourself. I am the Lord.– Leviticus 19:18 (NIV)
Today's commentary
by Dave Whitehead, Senior Pastor, GraceNYC.org
by Dave Whitehead, Senior Pastor, GraceNYC.org
This is a very difficult commandment to keep in a culture that demands individual rights. To forgive a wrong is to give up our right to justice; to forgive a grudge is to give up our right to be correct. But according to this Scripture, forgiveness is not based upon self-humiliation, but self-love. It seems that offense reveals how well we accept ourselves, and forgiveness is a gift to keep us free from being snared by the actions of others.

I am hopelessly sentimental at the best of times and my interest in perfume provides me with endless opportunities to bath in this gooey sentiment. For me, travel is also a passion and often when I smell a fragrance purchased abroad, it has the power to take me back to the places I visited. Experience has taught me that this type of olfactory connection can be unpredictable. I intended Tom Ford's Neroli Portofino to be my "Moroccan holiday scent" but for whatever reason, images of that trip do not flash before my eyes when I smell this opulent Eau de Cologne-inspired scent. Unintentionally I purchased a bottle of Chanel's Sycomore during my first trip to New York, 6 years ago. To this day, the smell of Sycomore takes my mind back to that summer holiday. Like the days before digital photography when you never knew what your holiday snaps had captured until the roll of film came back from the developer, it's after the arrival home when it dawns on me which of the fragrances I was travelling with has made a permanent impression. Last year I was again in New York and interestingly, despite buying numerous bottles of perfume, it was a small sample vial that I received from Aedes de Venustas in Greenwich Village, which became my olfactory soundtrack (or scenttrack) for this holiday. After I returned home, the smell of what remained in that vial had the power to take me back to Brooklyn and I could picture myself in the old brownstone apartment where I had stayed. The fragrance in this vial was Iris Nazarena, and my visit coincidentally overlapped with the fragrance's New York launch. Iris Nazarena was the second perfume created by the Greenwich Village perfumery. I had arranged to meet with the brand's co-owner, Robert Gerstner as part of my series of New York Scent Adventures. He talked with me about the first perfume he created with Aedes de Venustas co-owner, Karl Bradl and renowned French perfumer, Bertrand Duchaufour. For this second fragrance, the pair chose to work with German-born perfumer, Ralf Schwieger. The trio's muse was the rare Iris bismarckiana, also known as Iris Nazarena as it can be found in the mountains east of Nazareth. Iris root extract is one of perfumery's most prized raw materials. Robert told me how impressed he was with the quality of iris root extract available from Schwieger's employer, Mane in Grasse. Three-year-old iris rhizomes were harvested then dried for three years before being considered mature enough to have their scent extracted. This lengthy process attributes to the cost of the extract, which can run as high as €8000 per kilo. Paired with incense notes, Iris Nazarena is strikingly haunting. Whether or not it has anything to do with the trio's German heritage, Iris Nazarena is not a nostalgic iris as many French perfumes are; its dry, stark appeal is classic German design chic. And thankfully for me, once my sample vial was depleted, I was able to find the Aedes de Vensutas collection at Peony Haute Parfumerie in Melbourne, just an hour flight from Sydney instead of the standard 21-hour flight to New York.
Olfactory impressions:
My attraction to Iris Nazarena was initially influenced by the unique composition of notes. The soft and subtle odour of iris root is often illusive. Although its smell is deep and complex, ranging from fruity violet-like heart notes to base notes of wood, powder and depending on the root's source and method of extraction, it sometimes can have the slightest hint of salt; iris is rarely presented as the dominant note of a perfume – it is too much of a wallflower. For Iris Nazarena, Ralf Schwieger works around the root's introverted character with touches of anise and cooling juniper berry. The berry's fruitiness speaks to iris and it also has a camphorous facet, which connects nicely with the bitter leather accord that emerges later. Iris Nazarena's sharp top notes are smoothed down with ambrette seed as clove and incense bring texture and a modern spiciness. Midway through the perfume, the fading berry notes morph into a trail of luxurious iris and leather notes are given transparency with an overdose of modern molecules, presumably Iso E Super and woody specialities that shift between iris and wood, and subtle hues of sandalwood and cedar. Iris Nazarena has an almost unsettling evolution as it begins with the scent of pale, delicate rhizomes then becomes the scent of cold, stark leather. It's a remarkable transformation, which is done in clever style.
Suggested wearing:
Olivier Polge famously paired iris with leather for Christian Dior but Iris Nazarena is cut from a different cloth. The absence of vanilla or any oriental notes makes Ralf Schwieger's creation the non-cuddly type of iris-leather, very different from the boy-faced ad campaign of 2005's Dior Homme. Iris Nazarena exudes a kind of confident indifference, like those domestic cats that coexist with humans but require no human affection to feel content. Some men are the same and it's a quality some find attractive and others do not, just as some humans prefer the company of felines and others the company of canines. I imagine Iris Nazarena being worn by such a man who is fiercely independent and a stealthful hunter in life.

Creating Home Programs that Work
Home programs are essential to progress in therapy. They provide the repetition essential for learning of new skills.
However, I've had several parents come to me recently with home programs that were 20+ pages. I know that those programs were giving choices for activities, but parents shared that they were just too overwhelming and the programs were shuffled into a drawer. So here are some of my thoughts about home programs:
1. A home program activity has to be easy for your child to do in a therapy session. If it isn't easy for me to do with them then it's not ready for a home program.
2. Home program activities should be short and very specific. As your child make progress, the home program changes so I don't spend a lot of time printing or writing out suggestions; stick figures and a short explanation in addition to my verbal/physical instructions are all it takes.
3. I choose a maximum of 3 (preferably only 2) short activities and we decide together how they can be worked into daily routines (teeth brushing, after school TV time, right before homework etc.).
4. The home program has to fit on one piece of paper that can be tacked to the fridge/bathroom mirror/bulletin board.
5. Recently, I've had parents ask me if we could use their smartphone to take pictures or video to augment my written instructions(hurray for technology!).
6. Finally, at the next visit I will ask "How did the home program go?" This is not a judgement but rather information gathering – were the suggestions too easy or too hard, was the family extremely busy that week or was your child unwell and not up to the program? All of this gives me a better understanding of where we are at and how best to move forward.
If you receive a home program that doesn't work for you, share with your therapist what challenges you experienced regarding the activities. Together you can come up with a home program that supports your child's progress.

text: Hi All, Been a bit quiet on the list lately... I have a 96 A4, and sometimes the central locking just doesn't work. I've found that with the alarm, it always locks. However sometimes I need to turn the alarm off then on (using the key fob) several times to get the doors to actually unlock. If i give up and use a key, it only works on that door. Also, If I lock the doors from the inside, sometimes it only works on that door, and takes a few goes to get all doors to lock. Any Ideas? I've heard of people having issues with alarms caused by a dieing battery. Does that sound right? if so , how does one replace a battery? cheers Jon

There appears to be an ever increasing number of stock market related websites and no shortage of stock tips and market advice available to us all. But who should we listen to, and where are some good sources of stock market insights?
As readers of my blog and editorials will know, I have mentioned on numerous occasions that my own comments regarding the stock market should be treated as just my own personal observations and that I have no ability to predict the future. I do not consider myself an expert in any form but I do invest and manage investments for a living. (and at the moment I am still eating regularly)
But there are many people on the web and in the media who do put themselves forward as "experts" and so perhaps the following points will help you determine the good, the bad and the ugly sources of stock market advice.
1. Watch out for the self titled "experts". Ask yourself does the "expert" actually earn their main income from investing or rather writing about investing? If it is the latter then I would question how much of an "expert" they really are.
2. Be wary of the experts and market commentators that just make vague statements that leave room for them to be right no matter what direction the market moves in. A classic commentary from some of these people would be something like this "the Australian market has shown great strength recently and has rallied strongly. This rally may continue unless some further bad news drive stock prices down".
3. Beware of the technical chartists especially those who offer to show you how to make money if you attend one of their courses or buy their software. You can learn plenty about technical charting from free sources on the Internet. (such as www.investopedia.com or from many of the links provided on this site) Remember technical charting is not a guaranteed road to riches and has many limitations.
4. Beware of the people who tell you they have picked most of the past corrections. Depending on your definition of a "correction" there could be 1 or 2 every year so if I say there might be a correction in the next 12 months the chances are I will be right. Some so called experts are always predicting a correction so I guess eventually they will always be right by default.
5. Listen to company CEO's, CFO's etc. They might be a little generous with the way they talk about their own organisation's performance but they are the people at the coal face so to speak. Also you can get a good feel for how businesses may fare in the short to medium term by reading company announcements or watching interviews their CEO's etc do. (on T.V or via the web on a site such as Bloomberg)
6. Brokers and analysts are not evil. They often maligned by financial journalists and others but the fact is they often put in the hard yards and produce some very good research and company outlooks. Of course do not use their research as your only source of information but disregard 50% of the criticism directed at brokers and analysts by journalists as jealously. (I am not a broker or analyst by the way)
7. Pay attention to what fund managers are saying and what stocks large investments fund own or are buying/selling. You can see for example what stocks Listed Investment Companies (LIC's) hold by reading their company announcements and portfolio updates. (available from the ASX website) I am not saying you should follow the fund managers, but at least you may be able to get a feel for what sectors people are moving into or out of.
and finally:
8. Tread carefully when dealing with stock market chat rooms, online bulletin boards, red hot stock tips you heard from the taxi driver on the way to the airport and that mysterious e-mail that landed in your inbox telling you of an incredible stock buying opportunity. Personally I tend to treat all these sources of information as unreliable, although I do accept stock suggestions from little green aliens.

Sometimes, when deriving idealized mathematical models for the description of physical processes one encounters the so-called integrable systems. These systems have the remarkable property that powerful mathematical methods can be developed in order to explicitly compute their solutions, thus providing us with a deeper understanding of the mathematics and the physics of these models. Of course these integrable systems are almost always too simplistic and need further refinements for a use in modern applications. My research focuses on a particular type of extensions of integrable systems that uses geometrical methods to deform them and retain or not their property of being integrable. These methods are based on hidden symmetries of the equations and provide powerful and systematic tools to perform such deformations. They led me to the discovery of interesting new nonlocal and nonlinear partial differential equations as well as a better understanding of their geometrical structure.

Many fluid models share a common mathematical structure which is usually ignored by the standard algorithms used in computer simulations. As a consequence, numerical solutions may often yield unphysical behaviours, and fail to reproduce certain features of the governing equations, such as conservation laws or symmetries. My research is on devising finite element discretisations for fluid systems that preserve as much as possible of their mathematical structure. By addressing structure-preservation in numerical simulations, we are able to better capture the qualitative character of the solutions, even when high resolution numerics is not feasible (this is the case, for instance, in atmosphere simulations, where the range of scales involved is too wide to be fully resolved even on modern supercomputers). Moreover, preserving the structure of the equation at the discrete level allows us to derive discretisations for different models in a unified and systematic way.

In financial modelling, stochastic volatility is often used to account for the volatility clusters in stock prices. This refers to the alternating periods of large and small fluctuations about the mean trend. Such behaviour has also been observed in space-time, for example, in air pollution data. In these cases, modelling the spatio-temporal stochastic volatility will not only be useful for better representation, but also for prediction.
This project focuses on models in the so-called ambit framework. We model solutions of stochastic partial differential equations directly using random fields written as stochastic integrals. In the first part of the project, we study a spatio-temporal Ornstein-Uhlenbeck (STOU) process where carefully chosen integration sets determine spatio-temporal correlation structure. Secondly, we look at a volatility modulated moving average (VMMA). This is a Gaussian process convolution with an additional volatility term in the integrand. While the STOU process acts as a model of volatility, the VMMA is a model with volatility. For each model, we develop theoretical properties as well as methods for simulation and statistical inference. Since the two models can be seen as building blocks of the general ambit field, we hope to motivate similar work for the latter.

As air passes over an aircraft wing, the viscous boundary layer near the surface of the wing transitions from laminar to turbulent, producing more drag on the aircraft. The aim of Laminar Flow Control is to investigate this process and develop methods to delay this transition to turbulence, and so reduce the aircraft's fuel usage. One of the most common paths to transition is through the growth of stationary crossflow vortices. My research is focused on the initial development of these vortices close to the leading edge of the wing, through the use of asymptotic analysis and triple deck theory. The first part of my work has been to study the generation of these vortices by roughness on the surface of the wing, as well as the effect the variation of the background flow has on their subsequent growth - an effect that elsewhere can be treated as a higher-order correction, but here plays a leading-order role. I have then moved on to investigating how further downstream these vortices can interact with surface roughness in order to amplify one-another, and themselves.

My research is on semiclassical methods for non-Hermitian quantum mechanics. This means that I'm studying systems that don't necessarily satisfy the conservation of energy because they may be coupled to external influences such as particle gains and losses. The applications of this theory are extensive, not only in quantum mechanics but in other classical wave mechanics such as optics and electronics, where experimental applications have recently surged with the development of PT-symmetric theory. Quantum systems are very difficult in general to solve, so I'm focusing on semiclassical methods which provide simpler approaches to quantum dynamics and also tell us something about the classical limit for these non-Hermitian systems. I have also been developing a new numerical propagator for non-Hermitian systems, informed by known methods for Hermitian systems, which is based on the semiclassical propagation of coherent states and exactly captures the quantum dynamics.

In the classical setting of mathematical finance prices of derivatives are calculated using a specific model for the underlying assets, calibrated to market prices of traded derivatives. Misspecification of a model might lead to large losses as was exhibited during the financial crisis of 2007-2008. Instead model-independent approach is designed to find bounds on the price of an untraded derivative given market prices of traded derivatives without assuming any model for the underlying. Such bounds can be computed by studying model-independent super-hedging strategies for the untraded derivative based only on traded securities. The dual of this problem becomes finding a martingale measure such that the price of the untraded derivative is maximized in the presence of market constraints given by the prices of traded securities. In this work we formulate the problem as an infinite-dimensional linear programme as this framework is advantageous both theoretically and computationally. On the theoretical side we study strong duality and existence of optimal solutions. In particular we focus on attainment of optimal solutions in the primal problem as the topic so far has been studied in only few special cases. On the computational side we perform sensitivity analysis with respect to input parameters and study convergence rates of finite-dimensional approximations to the original problem.

Where there is evolution, there are phylogenetic trees, i.e. branching processes. When a pathogen spreads through hosts, it evolves and adapts, and the differences in the pathogens' genomes can be captured with next generation DNA sequencing. A number of pathogen samples collected from different hosts can therefore represent the tips of a branching tree, and the structure of the branching tree can give insights into the infection dynamics. The field of inferring pathogen dynamics from genomic data is broadly termed "phylodynamics". We found analytical convergence of the frequency of shapes inside a growing branching tree; for simple shapes and homogeneous time processes this limit can be expressed with a simple function of the basic reproduction number of the pathogen. This results in a new method of inference of the reproduction number, based solely on the frequency of tree shapes, and with a precision increasing with the number of taxa. We developed an algorithm that provides an estimate of the frequency of the tree sub-shape without reconstruction of the whole tree, by-passing several issues of the current tree-reconstruction methods. In doing so, we have developed the first methods for tree-free phylodynamics. The approach is also unique in being suitable for very large data sets.

Business folk pride themselves in their creativity and independent thought. However, one glaring exception is CSR Conformity. In business circles Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is a major source of Groupthink and conformist behaviour.
Companies may initially give in to activist pressure to partake in CSR, some may actually believe they are doing the right thing. But eventually CSR solidifies itself within a corporation, with no one questioning it. CSR conformity and groupthink then develops, preventing independent thought and intellectual diversity.
Normative CSR Conformity
Typically, employees and managers want to fit in to the 'organizational culture' of the company. New employees and job applicants being interviewed especially try to conform. This fear of rejection consolidates existing cultures and processes, preventing new ideas from entering the company.
Even if an employee privately disagrees with CSR programs, they may not offer criticism. It is difficult to question a 'doing good' quasi-charity program, lest you be accused of being an evil greedy capitalist. Many organizations are in desperate need of fresh thinking. Their CSR programs may be wasteful and counter-productive, but no one dares question them. Doing so will question your 'fit' within the organizational culture.
Informational CSR Conformity
New or junior employees look to senior staff as role models. Challenging their ideas or pre-existing programs is difficult. Many employees take the easier path, and internalize the company's practices into their beliefs. This is a case of 'believing your own PR & propaganda'. The cute CSR images designed to trick consumers and appease activists, end up fooling internal employees. Managers who spend corporate money on CSR begin to believe they are actually saving the world.
Ingratiational CSR Conformity
Businesses doing CSR to impress customers are conducting 'ingratiational' CSR conformity. Companies pretend to be motivated by the ideals of the customers, and not by profit. This supposedly gains favour from consumers which increases profit.
For example, if western consumers value environmental protection, then companies will conform to that ideal. Corporations operating in less elegant cultures may conform to those values as well. Throughout the world corporations have conformed to corruption, racism, sexism, Nazism, communism, etc.
CSR usually fails to appease critics, so conforming to left-wing activists by pretending to support their cause is wasteful and counter-productive.
Is conformity good for business or society?
Companies that conduct CSR activities are usually just conforming to social pressure. This pressure comes from critics of capitalism, and consumers who expect their products decorated with 'social responsibility'.
Businesses that participate in this conformism are handicapping themselves. CSR encourages groupthink since employees are reluctant to criticize well-meaning social programs. Also, many corporate managers have gone from seeing CSR as an advertising tool to actually believing the hype.
Finally, businesses are too eager to abandon the principles of capitalism and conform to every fad of society. It may seem innocuous when businesses conform to the sophisticated tastes of the western bourgeois. But in the same way, businesses will conform to backwardness and corruption in other parts of the world.
Businesses are built through creative and critical thinking. Democratic society is also improved through a willingness to question the norm, regardless of how well-intentioned. Conformity and groupthink are dangerous for both business and society in general.
Unfortunately for many, CSR represents the path of least resistance.

The Use Of Symbolism In The Ones
Who Walk Away From Omelas Essay, Research Paper
Literary Essay:
"The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas"
At times, in order for one to be happy, one may sometimes base and compare their happiness on the misfortunes of others. The Child, in the story "The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas" by Ursula K. Leguin, is used as a significant symbol to effectively create emotional responses in the readers mind, and is also used to criticise the members of today's society. Finally in the end, the symbol of the child relays a strong message to the reader, concerning the bases of ones happiness.
Throughout the entire story, because of the effective description used, the author was able to captivate the readers emotions in many different ways. To begin, a child portrays images of innocence, loveliness, and other such beautified characteristics. A child is a human being, who as any other, has feelings and emotions. However, in this short story, the child was portrayed as completely different.
"It is so thin there are no calves to its legs; its belly protrudes; it lives on a
half-bowl of corn meal and grease a day. It is naked. Its buttocks and thighs
are a mass of festered sores, as it sits in its own excrement continually."
(Le Guin, p. 258)
Furthermore, the reader also becomes aware of the filthy, unsanitary surroundings that the child is subjected to. (Le Guin, p. 259) After being given such a detailed description of the child, as well as his/her environment, feelings of pity, and disgust enter the readers mind. Moreover, when the reader realizes that it is because of this appalling child that the citizens of Omelas receive their happiness, and that the sole reason for this child's existence is only because he/she is used as a sacrifice; the reader then begins to experience feelings of disbelief and sadness for the child. The child is portrayed with the use of such vivid description so that the reader is able to feel sympathetic towards the child, and perhaps come to realization of what society is like today.
In this story, the author gives the reader an idea of how cruel and selfish those in a society can be when it comes to their own fortunes. When the citizens of Omelas see the child, some feel pity, and some don't. "Often the young people go home in tears, or in a tearless rage, when they have seen the child and faced this terrible paradox." (Le Guin, p.259) However, what do they do to put an end to this type of cruelty towards this child? Nothing. Sure they feel as though they would like to, but how many really do? The author seems to use the symbol of this child to make the readers, as members of society, become aware of issues such as this, that are occurring frequently in the world today. In the story, it seems as though the citizens of Omelas are denying what the child is forced to go through. Although they become aware of the conditions the child is subject to, and how mistreated he/she is by the citizens of Omelas, (Le Guin, p. 258) they do not want to change the situation, for if they did, it would mean the discontinuation of their own happiness.
"If the child were brought up into the sunlight out of that vile place, if it were
cleaned and fed and comforted, that would be a good thing, indeed; but if it
were done, in that day and hour all the prosperity and beauty and delight of
Omelas would wither and be destroyed."
(Leguin, p. 259)
When looking at third world countries where sickness, malnutrition, neglect and abuse are exposed all over, there are many people who feel pity, unfortunately there is very little action taken to change this. The author uses the child in the story to symbolize the other children in the world who are mistreated as horribly as the child, based on someone else's expense.
Moreover, there is a strong message given to the readers. Although, the author seems as though she is moralizing, the readers are not being lectured to. The reader is given the surroundings of the child, and what the child is subjected to, and are given a choice: accept this treatment of the child, or walk away. (Le Guin, p. 260) Nevertheless, the author also wants the reader to see the irony of the situation where the child is necessary to the society, because the author is trying to tell the reader that everyone needs something against which to compare their existence. One is able to know how well off they are in their country after making the comparison of the lives of people in other countries. As foolish as it sounds, the author is trying to relay the message, without others as a basis of comparison, how does one measure happiness?
In conclusion, it is because of this symbolic child that Le Guin has been able to draw in the reader emotionally, as well as make the reader aware of the issues happening in our society today. The author has also been able to effectively convey the message to the reader, the great unfortunate it is that in order for one to realize his/her blessings, they must compare it with those of the less fortunate.

Winning: Is That What it's All About?
Pinewood Derby Fever recently took command of our household. As our boys' searched the internet for design ideas, assisted Dad with the shaping and drilling of the wood and gleefully sprayed paint on their carefully cut creations, it was hard not to get caught up in their enthusiasm. The best part was learning to fix mistakes, like the misplaced drill hole that was transformed into a brad-covered "gas cap." Parents and their boys, spending time together, building something by hand. Isn't that the point? It should be. But Pinewood Derby is a confusing combination of handshake agreement and paperwork.

Sale Sharks 10 Harlequins 24: Construction of fortress gives Quins home comforts
When the subject of the Aviva Premiership's most forbidding away trips comes up for discussion, it is not often that the Twickenham Stoop is given much of a mention.
Welford Road and Kingsholm are usually near the top of the list, while there is often an honourable mention for Edgeley Park — the rickety stadium used for the final time on Saturday by Sale Sharks before their move to a new ground in Salford — which remained unloved to the last by away teams, owing to its cramped changing facilities and claustrophobic feel.
This season, though, the Stoop has become a most unrewarding destination, which explains why Harlequins were so grateful to finish top of the table and secure a home play-off semi-final with this…

'THE PUBLIC works ministry has begun the compulsory purchase of land for the project to upgrade the N-332 bypass in Benidorm.
Owners of land that adjoins the existing bypass will now have to give up their properties at a price established by the ministry.
A list of those affected by the compulsory purchase orders has been put up in Benidorm town hall and those affected have been notified that they must go to the town hall on February 17, 18 and 19 to begin the administration process.
The owners of around 70 properties will be affected……..'
There was also an article in the Costa Blanca News about Our Petition today – or so I've been told. Has anyone seen it ❓ Thanks…
- February 6, 2009 at 9:36 pm #90080
If, the people affected are paid a fair market value for their properties. I would not consider this to be a land grab.
I am sure that some of them may just welcome the offer if its a fair one, as they might be thinking of returning to UK and cant sell in the current market condition of course what ever is the valuation. They will be paid in instalments & over a number of years.
- February 6, 2009 at 9:48 pm #90081
They are usually only paid what is on the valor catastral and as you know these figures can be very low, particularly with older properties.
- February 6, 2009 at 10:17 pm #90082
Katy, I agree with you. I however did not wanted to be bearer of bad news. I hope & pray the affected people get a fair value for their land etc.

Tarot Cards Get the Designer Treatment Thanks to Marc Jacobs, Christian Louboutin, Vivienne Westwood, and More – StyleList.
It all comes back around again, from the high style of the Italian courts, to fringe culture, back to fashion.
Awhile ago I discussed conjuring up custom-made tarot cards for an elaborate practical joke. A friend teased me about my cards and "superstitions" and so I looked into engaging an artist to find a series of symbols to plant on him in escalating creepiness. The project has not come to fore.
That said, with my new interest in mixed media and collage art, I may use the blank deck I bought when I went on a magic-tricks buying binge (my inner child really kicks up with "I waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaant it!" when I pass sleight of hand kits in dollar stores and Marshall's) and, once done combing magazines for Fat Chic, use the images to create a private visioning deck.

"Chance favors the prepared mind." – Louis Pasteur
A storefront just next to yours has just come up for lease… Personal obligations have left you without the ability to fulfill client needs for a week or more…
A competitor is expanding their services or products, and customers are drifting away from your business…
Small Business Expansion
There are many prompts that cause small business owners to consider expanding operations, but how do you know when the time is right?
The first thing to realize is there is no right time to expand. That is to say, there are only better or worse times to make the move. Different types of expansion will introduce different concerns. Adding a new product line carries a different set of risks than bringing in new employees, for instance. To complicate things, one type of expansion may end up necessitating another. Just as no two businesses are the same, no two expansions will be the same either, but there are some general rules that will help you know when the time is right.
Seneca said, "Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity."
Are you prepared to take advantage of an opportunity when it presents itself?
Getting a Wider Perspective
Small Business owners often feel as if they inhabit a world apart from their clients and vendors. Instead of suffering this gap, you should make an effort to close the gap before you make major decisions about expansion. For the big picture, check out consumer confidence measurements for the nation and your particular demographic. The old adage about it being easier to keep a customer than to get a new one is also worth remembering. Informal and formal surveys can be used to gauge reactions to your expansion before you take the plunge. Though typically limited to informal chats, vendors can also provide information on market changes and the steps being taken by businesses similar to your own.
Preparing Your Small Business for Capitalization
Adding space to your business, paying extra salaries, or purchasing new equipment can all require the need for investment capital. A great credit score and/or significant assets will secure good lending terms, but you also need to address the risk of the investment from a personal point of view. Do not trust the bank's assessment alone. After all, they have recourse in case of default.
The basics of risk assessment are to know exactly how much money is needed to support your expansion, whether the market will support your expansion, and over what time frame you expect to repay the loan. You will also need to answer a couple of questions to your own satisfaction.
- What could change in the market to reduce income from the expansion?
- What is the likelihood of any of those changes occurring?
Preparing Your Small Business for the Worst
Every business (small or large) needs an emergency fund for the same reasons individuals need them. Bad things inexplicably happen sometimes, and people are prone to errors in judgment. An emergency fund capable of covering a month or more of expenses can save your business or, in the worst case, allow you to bow out gracefully. A high-risk expansion and little emergency planning should send up warning flags, leading you to further preparation.
you should avoid growth for growth's sake. Expanding operations often means more work for the owner, not less. However, sometimes reliable indicators and perfect opportunities appear together. Remember what Louis Pasteur said, and then when an opportunity too good to pass up appears, you should already be prepared to grab it.

THEME VERSES FOR THE WEEK: Galatians 5:14-16 For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another. For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another. This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.
As Pastor's, Pastor Randy and myself often meet together to discuss the goals and purpose of our church. We plan the sermons, the Sunday school and even the devotions to help us as a church work together for the kingdom of God. When we begin our meetings, we do not always agree.
We both have strong ideas and goals we want to see fulfilled here at Liberty. But you would never know we disagreed if we did not tell you. What do we do? We pray together and allow God to lead. We are then able, as a unified team, able to lead you and your families to a closer relationship with Jesus, others within the church and our community.
What we MUST guard against is selfishness. It can destroy the church and individual lives. As the senior Pastor, I could always just impose my will. But what would that prove or accomplish? Division! We must learn to consider others every time we make a decision. Right now, we are praying about a possible move. Do we go, do we stay, how much is it going to cost to go or stay! These are things that have to be considered. But the most important thing we must decide, is
You can mark it down, when we present something to the church, know that we have prayed, cried, discussed, disagreed and then agreed on what God is leading us to do.
The same should be said on everything we do as a church. How about you, are you one who is going to insist always on your own way or are you one who is going to be part of a body that is larger than just you alone.
Let's not let any division come in and destroy what God is wanting to accomplish.
Romans 16:17 Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them.
Prayer: Father, I ask that you give our church unity as we learn to minister to others. Give our Pastors Wisdom and help them lead us in the way you would have us to go. May lives be changed because of what we do together. I pray in Jesus' name, amen.

Like a week he's all lovey dovey and nice and out of nowhere he doesn't want to talk to me or he seems to be mad or awkward with me. We aren't in a relationship yet but he tells me that we are but I dont know, he must seemed like confused on if he wants to be in a relationship or he wants to wait a little bit longer. I had talked to him about why he's acting all stupid and rude and he tells me to get off his sack , but before that he had gotten buthurt because I didn't text him for like two days because I didn't want to bug him, and to give him his space. I dont understand what to do we both "love" each other but all this he's doing drives me crazy!! I need help!

There are some cases when the dentists themselves are not fully confident whether to advise implant treatment. Many a time, we get patients with recurrent tooth decay, i.e. a tooth with a crown on it decays again. In such cases, when we take off the tooth cap, we find that endodontic treatment (tooth restoration) such as root canal is required. However, even after root canal treatment is performed, there wouldn't be much of the tooth left. The same tooth would probably decay again but the dentist might not want to cut the adjacent teeth to put a dental bridge.
This is the right time to extract the tooth and place an implant.
Whenever a tooth is removed for any reason, the empty socket and the surrounding areas undergo ridge resorption, i.e. loss of tissue. There is no way to stop this process other than an immediate dental implant. We at Bhalla dental clinic are extremely careful to make sure the tooth extraction is atraumatic, painless and preserves jaw bone. Accurate implant placement is necessary so that the new tooth stays within the contours of the ridge. This makes for proper bone re-growth after grafting.
