We are in touch with the market every single day, we follow changes in regulations and lender's policy as they happen. A good mortgage broker will provide you with expert advice – in writing with full disclosure of why they are recommending a product and how much commission they will receive. If your mortgage broker isn't prepared to give you all of the facts – move on and find a mortgage broker who does – a mortgage broker like Peach.
In a nutshell we:
- we get some basic information from you – not just what you want, we need to understand your plans and dreams
- we collect some details then calculate how much you can borrow and what your repayments are
- we explain all of the features, the fees and charges
- we explain things like (lenders mortgage insurance)
- we fully disclose all commissions that we will receive
- we look at all of the options available to us and recommend products and structure that will give you the best outcome
- we submit the application and manage it through to ready for settlement
- we will pay you our famous cash rebate once we receive our commission
Don't hang around waiting for appointments – we don't have to meet with you to get an application started.
Peach staff mortgage brokers are not paid any commission
Our mortgage brokers are paid a flat hourly rate and receive no volume incentives or share of commissions. In fact the only bonus our mortgage brokers are paid is when you, the client compliment us for a job well done.
Keep in mind that we only get paid if your application is successful
It isn't in our interest or your interest to submit applications that are not going to succeed – after all we end up doing work for nothing and you end up with a damaged credit history. As a result we will methodically check your income and your situation to ensure that it fits with what the lender expects and only then will be submit an application. We average less than one failed application a year – and they only happen when information has been withheld from us.
We have over 20 lenders on our panel and each lender has a range of loans and features – this means we can choose the most suitable product for you from literally hundreds of options. We will check all of your paper work and help you prepare an application then we lodge everything and follow up through the process. Just as a bank employee would do, however we can select from a much wider range of products and generally speaking we are more experienced and probably better qualified to provide you advice ( all Peach mortgage brokers hold Diploma in Financial Services).
The lenders save money because we are doing a lot of the work and we are bringing clients to them that they may not have otherwise met. As a result you get the same loan and sometimes, because we can negotiate you get a better deal than you would get by going direct or online.
With around half of all new loans now written by mortgage brokers and the added protection of the National Consumer Credit Protection legislation – there is little doubt that mortgage broker's offer a better experience and potentially real savings for their clients. However many brokers are now outsourcing their processing in order to save money while we prefer to maintain control of the process meaning you are dealing with Peach staff at all times.
What's different about Peach Home Loans?
Apart from the fact that we pioneered the idea of sharing some of our commission with you and this obviously saves you money. We also pioneered a streamlined home loan application process – but of course we still have to work within the lender's requirements.
In Australia all mortgage brokers must be qualified and registered with ASIC in order to provide you with advice and arrange your home loan. Lenders pay mortgage brokers commissions for arranging a home loan but they don't want to make payments to individual mortgage brokers and as a result the vast majority of mortgage brokers are members of 'aggregation groups' who work as a clearing house for commission payments.
The aggregation group arranges the lending panel so not all groups offer all lenders. They provide a further level of training and support to their members and also act in a supervisory role to ensure that their mortgage brokers are working within lender's and regulator's requirements. The aggregation group normally takes a share of the brokers commission and may charge for additional services. Usually aggregators hold an Australian Credit Licence with their mortgage brokers operating as "Credit Representatives" under their licence.
Peach holds its own Australian Credit Licence and while it is a member of Vow Financial aggregation group which is owned by the Yellow Brick Road group, Peach is a completely independent and privately owned business.
As a consumer you should be aware that many of the larger aggregation groups are now owned by the major banks. Aussie home loans is 100% owned by CBA, while PLAN, Choice and FAST are owned by NAB and Macquarie have significant holding in Connective.

The said Concubine Zhen entered the palace when she was thirteen and soon became the Emperor's favorite. I guess the Emperor's still-young (according to the modern standard) windowed mother, the Empress Dowager Cixi was not too fond of this fact.
There are so many titillating stories about Cixi. I often wonder whether she was born evil or was forced by circumstances to grow into such a ruthless power-hungry figure.
On our outings to admire the various palaces, I could not help but tell my eldest the horror stories behind the grandeur of Chinese dynasties, including what it means to be an eunuch and what it takes to bind a woman's feet.
I think I have forever scarred him. "All that glitters is not gold."
Mission accomplished.

TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) – Two puppies died in a mobile home fire Monday. Tampa Fire Rescue responded to a mobile home park fire at 4801 E. Hillsborough Ave. around 3:25 p.m.
Heavy smoke was coming from the single-wide mobile home's south end, officials said.
When firefighters entered the home they found the two puppies, who had been overcome by smoke. "Paramedics made attempts to revive the dogs using special oxygen masks and chest compressions but were unsuccessful," officials said.
There was no one home at the time of the fire, and no one was injured.
An investigator is on scene to investigate the cause of the fire, which firefighters had under control by 3:45 p.m.

Barry Jaeckel was the only player to break par in the opening round of the Champions Tour Qualifying Tournament on Wednesday. He shot a 2-under 70 for a two-stroke lead at the PGA of Southern California Golf Club. Jaeckel, the winner of the 1978 Tallahassee Open and a veteran of more than 20 years on the PGA Tour, has made 22 Champions starts since turning 50 in 1999. He's competing in the qualifying tournament for the seventh time. Luis Carbonetti of Argentina, and Bill Longmuir and Nick Job, of England, shared second place after opening 72s. Tough scoring Winds of 25-30 kph, with gusts to 55 kph, made scoring difficult. The average score for the 92-player field was 76.923. "Very difficult conditions out there today," said Jaeckel. "The Santa Ana winds made the first couple of holes on the back nine and the last couple on the front nine difficult. "You better have taken advantage downwind and hope you didn't have a train wreck on the tough holes. I was able to get through that today, but that's not to say it won't happen any other time." James Mason had a hole-in-one at No. 17, hitting a wedge from 155 yards. The field for the 108-hole event will be cut after four rounds to the low 70 and ties, plus any other players within 10 shots of the 15th position. Seven players will receive full exemptions for 2006, while the second eight will earn conditional playing privileges. (AP)

International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) will soon become the basis of financial reporting for public companies in Canada. This change, which was announced in January 2006 by the Canadian Accounting Standards Board (AcSB), will take effect on January 1, 2011.
Currently, regulatory instruments of the Canadian Securities Administrators (CSA) refer to Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) established by the AcSB. The guiding instrument on this matter is National Instrument 52-107 Acceptable Accounting Principles, Auditing Standards and Reporting Currency (NI 52-107). As a rule, under the existing NI 52-107, a Canadian public company must use Canadian GAAP when preparing its financial statements. However, if a Canadian reporting issuer is also a reporting issuer with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), it may use US GAAP. At the present time, only foreign issuers1 other than SEC reporting issuers are permitted to prepare financial statements using IFRS.
In a recently published concept paper,2 the CSA drew tentative conclusions and solicited comments from market participants on proposed amendments to IFRS which entail a mandatory changeover to IFRS for publicly accountable enterprises for financial years beginning on or after January 1, 2011. In its concept paper, the CSA addressed the following points:
- Use of IFRS by domestic issuers before January 1, 2011;
- Use of US GAAP by domestic issuers; and
- Replacing all references in securities rules to Canadian GAAP with references to "IFRS as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board" (IFRS-IASB).
On the first point, the CSA concluded tentatively that domestic issuers be allowed to adopt IFRS-IASB for a financial year beginning on or after January 1, 2009.
On the second point, the CSA is suggesting that a domestic issuer not be allowed to use US GAAP for a financial year beginning on or after January 1, 2009, with the exception that a domestic issuer filing US GAAP financial statements in Canada for its most recent financial year ending on or before December 31, 2008 could continue doing so for five years (i.e. 2009 to 2013).
On the third issue, the CSA is suggesting that a domestic issuer be required by law to prepare its financial statements in accordance with IFRS-IASB and that the audit report on annual financial statements refer to IFRS-IASB. Under such an approach, an issuer could disclose that its financial statements comply with both IFRS-IASB and Canadian GAAP. However, the CSA is proposing that NI 52-107 refer to IFRS-IASB only.
While the adoption of IFRS by Canada and other countries will harmonize accounting standards on a global basis, readers should be aware that such harmonization will have a profound impact on certain issuers.
First and foremost, cooperative entities, mutual or benevolent associations who have not de-mutualized, mutual funds, credit unions and other non-corporate or atypical issuers will be particularly affected by IFRS rules that require redeemable equity capital to be classified as debt rather than equity. This will have an impact not only on the technical solvency of such issuers, but also on their ability to raise capital. Indeed, these issuers may be disadvantaged when their balance sheets are compared by potential investors to those of their incorporated peers. Case in point, Groupe Desjardins, Canada's largest financial cooperative institution, announced recently that it may have to take an $800 M hit on its equity capital as a result.
Also, important differences exist between the current accounting treatment of insurance companies and that proposed under IFRS, for instance in respect of deposit-like savings products offered by life insurers and the recognition of unearned premiums.
If IFRS is integrally adopted in Canada, issuers such as the foregoing may need to use creative measures to circumvent its pernicious effects. For example, such issuers might restructure and adopt a two-tier capital structure allowing it to offer non-voting equity participations or consider incorporating a fully-controlled subsidiary for the purpose of raising capital.
Some countries like New Zealand have empowered their local Accounting Standards Board (ASB) by statute to enable their ASB to exempt classes of reporting issuers from any provision of IFRS when compliance might be materially misleading or likely to mislead. It is hoped that the AcSB, as well as the Canadian financial community at large, will consider such measures in order to sustain important sectors of our economy in the face of any disproportionate disadvantage that the IFRS rules might pose to them.
1. A "foreign issuer" is an issuer, other than an investment fund, that is incorporated or organized under the laws of a foreign jurisdiction, unless outstanding voting securities of the issuer carrying more than 50 per cent of the votes for the election of directors are owned, directly or indirectly, by residents of Canada and: (i) the majority of the executive officers or directors of the issuer are residents of Canada; (ii) more than 50 per cent of the consolidated assets of the issuer are located in Canada; or (iii) the business of the issuer is administered principally in Canada.
2. CSA Concept Paper 52-402, "Possible Changes to Securities Rules Relating to International Financial Reporting Standards" OSC bulletin, Issue 31/07 - February 15, 2008 online: http://www.osc.gov.on.ca/Regulation/Rulemaking/ Current/Part5/csa_20080215_52-402_cp-fin-rpt.jsp.

KOTA KINABALU, 17th December 2015 - Toyota customers in Sabah can be assured that they will receive their quality vehicle at the shortest possible time, thanks to the new UMW Toyota Motor Sabah Integrated Quality Hub (SIQH) in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah.
As part of Toyota's Overall Quality Assurance efforts, UMW Toyota Motor have invested RM36 million to develop the SIQH. Located at the Kota Kinabalu Industrial Park (KKIP), the SIQH that spans over 8.6 acres has already started its operation in November. The new facility conducts delivery quality checks of all vehicles before it reaches the customers.
The SIQH has a maximum capacity to stock up to 1,000 vehicles at one time, and is crucial to UMW Toyota Motor's commitment to deliver vehicles at its best quality to customers in accordance to Toyota standards. The Toyota Production System (TPS) principle has further guided the development of the SIQH. Among the activities at the facility are; Pre Delivery Inspection (PDI), Centralised Stockyard, Pre-Delivery Service (PDS) and strict Final Quality Check (FQC) that enable UMW Toyota Motor to enhance delivery quality to meet customers' expectations.
Commenting on the new SIQH operation, Deputy Chairman of UMW Toyota Motor, Mr. Akio Takeyama said, "Customer satisfaction has always been our priority, and the new facility embodies our guiding principle of continuous improvement. Our first Integrated Quality Hub in Bukit Raja, Klang, Selangor, was set up in 2011 to ensure our vehicles are delivered to our customers in its best condition, and we hope to replicate this success in Sabah. East Malaysia market is very important market to us, thus we are also looking for expanding our Hub operations."
Delighted with the new facility, President of UMW Toyota Motor, Datuk Ismet Suki said, "Sabah consumers have been very supportive to us as reflected by the increased sales of more than 10 per cent in the state since 2011. With the establishment of the new facility, we will be able to assure delivery of quality vehicles for our customers in Sabah, at the shortest possible time."
With the setting up of the SIQH, UMW Toyota Motor is once again raising the bar in quality assurance to enhance customer experience.

Just Nichin'

Today was the 2nd time this week that I had waken early to head fishing. Darren & I were going on a road trip and met up at 4:00 in the morning in hopes of catching a few silver bullets. Niche was on the menu & although I hadn't fished this lake since last year, I had loads of confidence that it would be a success. By the time we had reached our destination and prepped all the rods, we were 2 hours into the day and itching to get bit! The trees were pollinating pretty good and the surface was covered with all kinds of junk, making it difficult to fish clean. We had to improvise and watch the lines constantly but it paid off. The first reel to fire was a deep line and the skunk was about to leave the boat. I was surprised that the niche didn't jump but with 47 degree water I guess their metabolism was real low. Once boated we realized that it was of legal size and someone was having fish for dinner tonight! With livewell running and the line back in, I noticed something busting the surface behind the prop wash. As luck would have it, there was another one locked up again. We almost had a double! This one actually made one leap in the air and I saw that it was a little bigger than the first. Our fish was to have company in the tank soon! We reset the line and went back to trolling but success was short lived. After about 2 hours of nada, I was ready for a move. Apparently the other boats around us had the same idea as they were already gone. I hadn't seen anyone hook up nor a net pulled out so I guess we should have felt lucky for the two we had. I however didn't feel that way and opted for a long run to an area that usually produced well. Ironically only one small brown was caught here and we shifted to another spot again. I wanted to try a really shallow sandy area and concentrated on finding warmer water and of course, niche! Eventually I stumbled onto 53 degrees exactly where my waypoints and icons were and a reel let go. The scream was unbelievable and I knew this was a larger fish. It went into an aerial display and we hoped to bring it to net. Unfortunately she had other ideas and pulled the hooks a short distance behind the boat, on one of the runs. This was our one & only chance here so I decided to return to the area we had began. It was completely void of boats and we had it all to ourselves. I mentioned that this has happened before & I've crushed the salmon because of it. Well, guess what? It was about to happen once again! Afternoon sunshine always heats the water up and activates everything around. The first reel went screaming within minutes of our arrival and it was game on! The third & fourth fish were so close together that it should have been a double. The high line was finally producing and produce it did! We had multiple rips from one area and I just kept at it until it died. Afterwards I went looking for more and came across another of similar results. Again, multiple fish were taken and released followed by even more. This was how I expected it to be today but judging by the water temps, wasn't surprised. We now had 52 degrees and they were on fire. In the last couple of hours we had landed all kinds of fish and missed many more. What had started slow, ended with a bang as we packed up to be on our way. The weather was sunny all day with a slight breeze from the south and a high of 80 plus degrees. Who could have asked for more. Overall a very successful day for our first nichin' trip of the year!!!

Don't You Forget About Me Reviews
August 30, 2017
I just saw the documentary. Although I commend their effort in tracking him (or his home) down, I thought the documentary wasn't well researched. The producers mentioned the documentary took 2.5 years to make but they still had to speak to locals (around his suburb) and ask where his house was. Along with this, they never mentioned Home Alone which was his highest grossing film or Uncle Buck. I don't even recall the producers mentioning Planes, Trains and Automobiles and just seemed to focus their adoration on his teen films. The interviews with some of the actors were good but Molly Ringwald, Macaulay Culkin and Matthew Broderick would have made it much better seeing that they were his muses. Overall, the film was pleasant but nothing great or amazing and it seems to be a waste especially considering that John Hughes ignored their requests. It made all of that footage with the lead-up to meeting him pointless.
September 11, 2014
Excellent documentary on the search for the elusive filmmaker, John Hughes, before his passing in 2009.
February 5, 2014
This John Hughes centered documentary is basically like watching a bunch of people perform a "King Kong" like ritual only, instead of offering a human sacrifice, they buy the guy a pizza.
½ September 23, 2013
Este documental en el que unos jovenes realizadores buscan afanosamente a John Hughes, el director, guionista y productor de cintas para adolescentes en la d�cada de los 80 como "The Breakfast Club", "Sixteen Candles", "Weird Science": "Ferris Buller's Day Off" o "Pretty In Pink" huele a falso y a hipocrita. Se supone que Hughes se recluye a mediados de los 90 y se retira del mundo del cine. Por que razon? Jamas la sabremos, ya que Hughes muere poco despues de realizado este documental. Pero, cual es la raz�n para obsesionarse con el hombre cuando lo importante es el analisis de su obra? Aqui se critica la obsesion de la gente por la vida privada de los artistas, pero se cae en lo que se critica al obsesionarse por la figura de Hughes y no por sus peliculas, que es lo que realmente importa. Hay muchas imprecisiones, exageraciones y omisiones en "Don't You Forget About Me". Para alguien que no sepa nada sobre este director puede ser informativo, pero para aquellos que vimos y vivimos su irregular obra, este documental no nos dice mucho.
July 11, 2013
80s actors reuniting!!!
½ May 23, 2013
"Don't You Forget About Me" is a genuine try to pay homage to John Hughes and it achieves its best moments when let other filmmakers, actors and young audiences talk about the greatness of his work. Unfortunately, we have this other half with the four documentarists trying to get an interview with extremely recluse Hughes, what end up being a letdown and can even send the wrong message to the viewers about the filmmaker. With just 75 minutes, it's a love letter that barely scratches the surface of Hughes' body of work.
½ April 23, 2013
Surprisingly enjoyable! Acting stilted (obvs) but I like the demon look, a la Emily Rose, as we are in the midst of over "zombie go-slow" exposure. I like quick moving scream-face bloody x2 Ring/Grudge shaky peers! Almost felt like what Whedon's CITW should have been. Bring it.
February 10, 2013
A ruthlessly narcissistic exercise in self masturbation. I have never hated any screen presence more than those who created this film; characters like these are probably why Hughes retired in the first place.
½ February 1, 2013
A must for any John Hughes fans!
December 22, 2012
Independent film makers trek to Chicago to find and talk to legendary teen film maker John Hughes.
½ November 27, 2012
One of the most useless, boring documentaries I have ever seen in my entire life. I literally learned nothing about John Hughes. The whole movie was interviews with current directors and the actors from the Hughes films being like, "Hughes was awesome and could capture teenagers like no other" blah blah. Some clips from his films. If that wasn't bad enough, it was totally self indulgent. The producers were on camera debating nothing for too much of the movie. And their lack of agreement and the condescending manner of the one female producer just added negativity to the movie. Do not see it.
½ November 6, 2012
What begins as a engaging documentary into the influence of John Hughes' 80s teen boom takes a turn for the uncomfortable and never recovers.
October 14, 2012
Great idea, find John Hughes and tell him how much his movies ment and mean to teenagers. When the people making this film were just talking about the Hughes movies they were entertaining, however when they were talking to the camera they came off like they were trying to hard. Enjoyed the clips from Hughes movies and the young kids talking about how their parents shared these movies with them.
July 26, 2012
a really thought ful and thought out piece. with a lot of question that millions of fans want to know but in a sad way never will
May 27, 2012
These filmmakers don't know why people would watch a movie about John Hughes. They think it's enough to make a movie about how they care about something. I don't know these people and I don't care what they think. They could have made a movie about John Hughes with the footage they collected. Instead they decided to make a movie about themselves and that is too bad.
½ May 19, 2012
It's fine enough, I guess, but they don't get anywhere and I have to admit I do not connect with the films of Hughes as much as these people.
April 10, 2012
A excellent love letter to one of the greatest film makers of our time
½ February 12, 2012
It's a nice tribute to the undisputed king of Teen Movies, the man who pretty much made the genre, John Hughes. However it is also about how teen movies since haven't been able to connect with their audience. Everyone has one John Hughes movie they connect to. Mine is either Somekind of Wonderful or Pretty in Pink

This one seems like a wasted opportunity. Great subject matter in the late director John Hughes, and some interesting interviews, but the lacks a payoff and seems really haphazard at time. For hardcore fans of Hughes only.

Scores of people are feared dead as three separate explosions have rocked Madagali town in the northern part of Adamawa State Friday morning. According to reports, three female suicide bombers were responsible for the explosions that occurred at a crowded motor park on the outskirt of the town.
Although volunteers and security men were seen evacuating bodies from the scene, the number of casualties are yet to be determined.

This is the second bomb attack in the state after the Nigerian Army repelled an attack by fleeing Boko Haram terrorists in Gulak village in the same Madagali Local Government Area.
Just last Wednesday, January 4th, 3 female suicide bombers were shot dead in Bakin Dutse, Madagali Local Government Area of Adamawa State. The girls were reportedly on a mission to carry out suicide bombings at a crowded market in Gulak, before they were shot by soldiers and local vigilante.
They were intercepted at Bakin Dutse Village, five kilometers from Gulak, the administrative headquarters of Madagali Local Government Area where villagers converge in their hundreds every Wednesday for the market day.
On Wednesday, four suspected fleeing members of the Boko Haram Sect were arrested by Troops of 27 Task Force Brigade stationed in Bara, during one of their patrols to Madaki Village in Biu Local Government Area of the state.
According to the Army, the suspects were intercepted at the outskirt of the town alongside 100 concealed motorcycles, which were also recovered from them.

Speaking to journalists, the Director Army Public Relation, Brig. Gen. Sani Usman, said some of the Boko Haram members dislodged from the Sambisa forest are presently on the run and the general public should be on high alert by calling the attention of security operatives when people with unusual character and dressing are sighted.
More details to come shortly…

As a child, the day after Christmas was always a struggle. The reason being, my parents made me write thank-you notes, with the implicit threat that if I didn't, there would be less presents next year. I remember agonizing over writing them. Funny writing and mailing my Christmas list wasn't nearly as difficult. As I grew older, the task did not get any easier. In fact in my early twenties I constructed a form thank you letter with a mail merge just to make things go faster. So why now do I find myself designing custom cards and hand writing thank you notes for everything from gifts received to dinner invites? Read more »

Acupuncture for Better Digestion
All of us want to feel our best, and in Chinese medicine, that means having good energy. We get our energy from the air we breathe and the food we eat. Unfortunately, while many of us eat well, we often have poor digestion, which can translate into low energy, fatigue, and a host of other health problems. Many people say they digest their food well, but complain of heartburn, rumbling, bloating, gas, constipation, or diarrhea, all of which are signs of poor digestion.
Chinese medicine is best known for acupuncture, which is an ancient healing modality using hair-fine needles to manipulate the body's energy and enhance healing. More and more western institutions, such as the World Health Organization and the Mayo Clinic are recognizing the value of acupuncture in the treatment of pain and various illnesses. Acupuncture can be very effective for digestive problems, and combining food therapy to acupuncture increase the effectiveness of the treatments.
The Chinese view food as medicine that you get to eat three times a day, and digestion as important to health as the food that�s eaten. They think of digestion almost like a pot of nutritious soup in your body simmering over a low flame. Foods that are added to the soup can enhance or dramatically hinder how well it cooks. For example, if you add ice cold foods to the soup, it will dampen the flame and the soup will stop cooking. This will ultimately take energy to bring the soup back to the simmering point. The same is true for a lot of raw fruits and vegetables. Rather than enhancing our energy level, eating the wrong foods can actually deplete our energy. A better plan is to �predigest� foods, if possible, by cooking them slightly first, to make the nutrients more available and enhance energy.
Here are some things that you can do to improve your digestion and get the most nutrition from the food you eat:
-Very cold or raw foods take a lot of energy to digest, and eaten frequently can put a strain on your digestion. �Predigest� your fruits and vegetables by saut�ing or steaming them briefly.
-Drink room temperature or warm liquids. Avoid iced drinks.
-Eat smaller meals more often to keep your blood sugar even and ease your digestion.
-Eat at least two hours before bedtime to give your system time to digest. Eating too close to bedtime can cause heartburn or insomnia.
-Ginger and Hawthorne are two common herbs used in Chinese medicine to help digestion. Ginger is good for calming an upset stomach and can be found in teas or can be grated raw into hot water. Hawthorne is used to help ease digestion and can be found in capsules, teas, or candy.

How can you compare to Brazil's 1970 World Cup incomparables? That's the problem.
So the fervent hope, now the quarter-finals of the 2010 edition are upon us with the teams which Maradona calls the "gala" outfits – Brazil, Argentina, Holland, Germany and Spain – all safely ensconced is that another rare champion for the ages will emerge.
There have been tantalising glimpses to suggest it is not impossible; Germany's youthful vibrancy, Argentina's delightful attacking incisions and a Dutch side now ready to look to its dramatic island, called Robben.
Yet above all stands the formidable might of Dunga's Brazil and the 'receive, pass, offer' poetry of Vicente Del Bosque's Spain, which offers the fantasy that one of this pair, in particular, could yet bloom into the best winners we have seen in two generations.
It still feels that when Mario Zagallo's 1970 team cut through Mexico's thin air with a brand of dazzling brilliance the game had never encountered before, it became instantly both the sport's milestone and its millstone.
For the benchmark has not been reached since. The Brazil of 1982, of Zico, Socrates et al, were wondrous. So were Johan Cruyff's total footballing Dutch masters of 1974? Yet like the great Hungarians of 1954, both were ultimately losers.
My picks for the best champion teams of the past 40 years would be the Germans of 1974 and Italy 1982, teams in the best sense whose collective excellence doused genius. And the Brazilians of 2002 too, considering they were the first since 1970 to win every game in the finals.
Neither Spain, caught cold by Switzerland, nor Brazil, stalemated by a stiflingly negative Portugal, can now emulate that feat but their second round performances have highlighted their potential to reach a new pinnacle.
With their ability to subject Portugal to death by a thousand passes in a way which Brazil couldn't, while still never quite clicking into their flowing best, Spain's players left Cape Town believing that the world has not seen the best of them yet.
"We'll see if we're better than the team that won the European Championship," said Xabi Alonso, knowing that achieving the double with an outfit which has lost just two of its last 52 games would hallmark its greatness. "It's a different moment, a different team to 2008, but our expectation now is to get a little bit better with every game."
And they are, with Iniesta and Xavi beginning to increasingly master the lightness of the Jabulani and with David Villa bustling and bristling to the point where he probably fancies himself to win both the Golden Ball and the Golden Boot.
The old swagger is starting to course through them. Gerard Pique, part of their marvellous Barcelona spine, noted after the Portugal triumph: "We have so many players with a lot of quality, it enables you to control games, makes it a lot easier to win games. We're not reliant on one player; we can cope when some of our top players are not at their best." Like Fernando Torres, he did not hasten to add.
Brazil have similar, enviable depth of talent. Elano, who has long been a key to Dunga's plans, was left moaning yesterday about how Ivorian midfielder Ismael Tiote may have kicked him out of the World Cup – he definitely will not play against Holland on Friday – with a dismal challenge which has left him with a bruised ankle bone.
Yet Brazil seem to have hardly missed him. Their triumph over Chile was a masterpiece of domination in every area. And, let's forget this myth that they somehow betray the traditions of joga bonito. They don't. They are just redrawing it for the 21st century.
The speed of the modern game, quite dramatically pronounced at this tournament, and the quality of opposition now cannot allow for all out, cavalier abandon. As Dunga says, his players have "the liberty to play" but, first, you have to slave to find the freedom in a game where space is shrunken by pace.
Dunga's Brazil are meticulously prepared, full of magnificent athleticism, from back with Lucio to front with Fabiano, and honed to a peak of physical fitness by not being run into the ground. And they may have nurtured their creative wonder back to near his best at just the right time too. Yes, says Kaka, drooling over the Holland tie in Port Elizabeth, he's ready for "a classic, for the game everyone wants to see and every players wants to play in!"
The Dutch are unbeaten in 23 now but they still need Arjen Robben, as his superb goal against Slovakia illustrated, to flick their switch. Yet the most tantalising thought remains that it's Argentina who have the greatest capacity for further illumination. Imagine it; they are the tournament's top scorers with 10 goals and Lionel Messi, while being dazzling, has still not netted one.
Watching Maradona's virtuoso assortment is like dipping into a box of chocolates and not knowing what treat is next. A Tévez surprise?
Messi truffle? Di Maria delight? Even Joachim Loew's fearless youths sound just a little awestruck when talking about them. "A different league to England," Miroslav Klose reminds his mates with sober intent.
You cannot imagine a truly great team ever having a defence as suspect as Argentina's yet should they overcome Germany in Cape Town on Saturday, no mean feat in itself, it would be hard not to be enchanted by the prospect of them duelling with a Spanish side who will surely be too good for Paraguay.
But it's Brazil who still carry that whiff of history again. It is just a pity that the greats of that mould-breaking 1970 side, like Carlos Alberto and Rivelino themselves, keep expressing their contempt for their inheritors. Forget it. These are old men grouching. The young men are still dreaming.

I think what you are asking is whether there is a difference between personal computers and computers that you find in businesses. This is a hard question to answer, unless I know what type of business you are referring to. For example, if you are talking about a high technology science company with the need to make huge computations, a personal computer would not work. Or if you are referring even to a movie production company that needs to render huge amount of video footage. But if you are referring to average companies, then any computer would work fine. The difference is not so much in the hardware. The difference is in the software.

Definition: A traditional economy is a system that relies on customs, history and time-honored beliefs. Tradition guides economic decisions such as production and distribution. Traditional economies depend on agriculture, fishing, hunting, gathering or some combination of the above. They use barter instead of money.

Most traditional economies operate in emerging markets and developing countries. They are often in Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Middle East. But you can find pockets of traditional economies scattered throughout the world.

Economists and anthropologists believe all other economies got their start as traditional economies. Thus, they expect remaining traditional economies to evolve into either market, command or mixed economies over time.

Five Characteristics of a Traditional Economy

First, traditional economies center around a family or tribe. They use traditions gained from the elders' experiences to guide day-to-day life and economic decisions.

Second, a traditional economy exists in a hunter-gatherer and nomadic society. These societies cover vast areas to find enough food to support them. They follow the herds of animals that sustain them, migrating with the seasons. These nomadic hunter-gatherers usually compete with other groups for scarce natural resources. There is little need for trade since they all consume and produce the same things.

Third, most traditional economies produce only what they need. There is rarely surplus or leftovers. That makes it unnecessary to trade or create money.

Fourth, when traditional economies do trade, they rely on barter. It can only occur between groups that don't compete. For example, a tribe that relies on hunting exchanges food with a group that relies on fishing. Because they just trade meat for fish, there is no need for cumbersome currency.

Fifth, traditional economies start to evolve once they start farming and settle down. They are more likely to have a surplus, such as a bumper crop, that they use for trade. When that happens, the groups create some form of money. That facilitates trading over long distances.

Traditional Mixed Economies

When traditional economies interact with market or command economies, things change. Cash takes on a more important role. It enables those in the traditional economy to buy better equipment. That makes their farming, hunting or fishing more profitable. When that happens, they become a traditional mixed economy.

Traditional economies can have elements of capitalism, socialism and communism. It depends on how they are set up. Agricultural societies that allow private ownership of farmland incorporate capitalism. Nomadic communities practice socialism if they distribute production to whoever best earned it. In socialism, that's called "to each according to his contribution." That would be the case if the best hunter, or the chief, received the choicest cut of meat or the best grains. If they feed children and the elderly first, they're adopting communism. It says "to each according to his needs."

Advantages

There is little friction between members. That's because custom and tradition dictate the distribution of resources. Everyone knows their contribution toward production, whether it's as a farmer, hunter or weaver. Members also understand what they are likely to receive. Even if they aren't satisfied, they don't rebel. They understand that it's what's kept the society together and functioning for generations.

Since traditional economies are small, they aren't as destructive to the environment as developed economies. They don't have the capability to produce much beyond their needs. That makes them more sustainable than a technology-based economy.

Disadvantages

Traditional economies are vulnerable to changes in nature, especially the weather. For this reason, traditional economies limit population growth. When the harvest or hunting is poor, people starve.

They are also vulnerable to market or command economies. Those societies often consume the natural resources traditional economies depend on or wage war. For example, Russian oil development in Siberia has damaged streams and the tundra. That's reduced traditional fishing and reindeer herding for traditional economies in those areas. (Source: "7 Advantages and Disadvantages of a Traditional Economy," NavajoCode.)

Examples

America had traditional economies before the immigration of Europeans beginning in 1492. Nomadic Native American economies had advantages, like stronger immune systems. Their small communities protected them from smallpox and other imported diseases for a while. But poaching, war and genocide destroyed them over time. The newcomers' market economy gave them weapons and more resources. The traditional economies couldn't compete. (Source: "Massive Population Drop Found for Native Americans," National Geographic, December 5, 2011. "Health of American Indians in Decline Before Columbus," Science.)

The United States had many aspects of a traditional economy before the Great Depression. At the beginning of the 20th century, 60 percent of Americans lived in farming communities. Agriculture employed at least 40 percent of the workforce. But they used poor farming techniques to meet high demand following World War I. That led to the Dust Bowl once droughts hit.

By 1930, only 21 percent of the workforce was in agriculture. It generated just 7.7 percent of the gross domestic product.

Before the Civil War, the American South was almost entirely a traditional economy. It relied on farming. It used a strong network of traditions and culture to guide it. These were devastated by the war. (Source: U.S. Dept. of Agriculture, The 20th Century Transformation of Agriculture.)

Two-thirds of Haiti's population relies on subsistence farming for their livelihood. Their reliance on wood as a primary source of fuel has stripped the forests of trees. That makes them vulnerable to natural disasters, such as the earthquake that struck Haiti in 2010. Some economists also point to Haiti's tradition of voodoo as another reason for its poverty. (Source: "Haiti's Economy," CIA World Factbook. "Why Is Haiti so Poor?" Marginal Revolution.)

Indigenous tribes in the Arctic, North America, and eastern Russia have traditional economies. They rely on fishing and hunting of caribou for their existence. For example, the Saami people of Scandinavia manage reindeer herds. A tribe member's relationship to managing the herd defines his or her economic role. That includes his or her legal status, culture and state policies toward the individual. (Source: Lee Huskey, "The Changing Economies of Indigenous Communities," Module Six, University of Alaska at Anchorage.)

A year of us | day 244
day 244 The kitchen was hot long before I turned the oven on. I cooked noodles and tomato sauce topped with Parmesan and green peas for dinner. When I pulled the buttered bread from the oven, I burned my fingers on the steam. The little one ate with his hands and when he was good and covered in sauce, he slicked his hair with sauce. Some nights are meant for salads and popsicles, no oven time, tonight was one of them.

That's precisely the way I feel about white blouses, shirts, t-shirts. . . You get the picture.
Don't tell me you're thinking: She's been there and done that? Surely not.
In this singular item of design perfection we have a fashion/non-fashion/never-out-of-fashion/ageless can't live without, can't get enough masterpiece.
We're back on subject and I can assure you we'll be revisiting this territory again and probablyagain and again.
No woman can ever, repeat, ever own too many white blouses. Note Carolina Herrera at the close of her collection wearing what has practically become her signature: A simple, beautifully tailored white shirt. She often pairs it with grand ball skirts and never fails to look sleekly elegant in contrast to the sea of trying-to-hard frou-frou frocks flitting about in front of the cameras.
If you closely examine Audrey Hepburn's shirt, you'll see she has wrapped it around her lithe body, putting her personal stamp on the classic. No need to waste time with buttons — wrap and go. (The picture is from "Audrey Style" by Pamela Clarke Keogh, but I regret to say I do not know who took the marvelous photo.)

Kos came into rescue in June 2014 he was found as a stray in Edinburgh so little was known of his previous life.
Older dogs are often over looked in kennels as people worry they may not have a long time with them. Kos had been 15 months in kennels and this length of time for any
dog means they can become depressed, after no enquiries maybe because he was older, had some arthritis and that he is a very big GSD.
We had lost two of our Shepherds so we had the room for him with us and we didnt want him to have another winter in kennels. He has settled well in our home and does get along with or GSD girl.
He does have pain relief for his arthritis but then he is an older man. He loves his walks but he decides how far he wants to go, he likes to chase the birds but he could
never catch them now. When the weather is good he loves to lie at the front of the house watching the world go by.
He adores his food and Im sure he can hear a crumb drop, he is so tall that he can put his nose on the table to have a look to see if he can reach anything we have learned
not to leave food out as in the early days he had pinched steak butter and garlic bread but who cares.
We have had Kos for over a year now and he is loved to bits and it is a pleasure to have him as part of the family and great that with a little patience the two dogs can live
Please dont pass by an older dog even if you dont have them a long time at least they wont spend there retirement time in kennels.
Thanks to Eileen at the kennels who did a great job of looking after him she does an amazing job.

A demonstration of using a multiple choice quiz in Gamefroot.
how can u show on the screen which box is which answer? because that isn't very clear please reply ASAP
Hi PatPac, currently there is no way to make the black boxes say anything. They are just big buttons for the player to click on. Until we update this feature, you should tell the player (with a story point) that the top-left button is #1, the top-right is #2, the bottom-left is #3, and the bottom-right is #4.
How do you make the script of tht Multi Choice Test that will make the door open if answered correctly or putting the character away if answered wrongly?
To learn how to make a multiple choice question, check out this tutorial:

(Student Guide to World Philosophy)
Origen is the first major figure in the Christian era who wrote—in Greek—with full philosophical training and with a full sympathy toward philosophical method. Saint Augustine is sometimes given this credit, but Origen preceded him, and Augustine owes much to Origen. In any inquiry into the sources of later philosophy and theology, Origen must be given wide attention. The infusion of Greek philosophical skill into theology gave Christian thought its unusual theoretical side and allowed it to develop close relationships with pagan philosophical interests.
Therefore, Origen's On First Principles subjected him to charges of heresy. His strong philosophical interests and training most likely led to a doctrine that did not conform to established ideas on every point. However, because the original Greek text of the work has, for the most part, been lost, these charges are difficult to establish. The elaborated Latin translation, De Principiis, by Rufinus contains indications that Origen's work was considerably altered in its rendering, and modern scholarship tends to find Origen not so extreme on some points as has sometimes been charged. Origen and Plotinus had the same philosophical teacher, Ammonius Saccas, who is sometimes said to be the founder of Neoplatonism.
Origen begins by establishing the words and teachings of Christ as a central norm, and his fame as a biblical interpreter is widespread. To develop theological...

Logic Pro X 201 The EXS24 Sampling Explored
The EXS24 Sampler is at the heart of most Logic Pro projects and presets. This NEW course, by Joe Albano, explains how to program and customize this timeless sampler while revealing some ESX's deepest and newest features!
The EXS24 has been a mainstay of Logic ever since we can remember. That's why we feel that it's time to take fresh look at this powerful, yet often underutilized sampler. Many trainers have attempted to teach this deceptively deep sampler but none have come close to explaining it like Logic expert, Joe Albano, does in this EXS24 Explored course.
If you use Logic then you've used the EXS. There's no way around it. Even Logic Pro X's new Drummer tracks are solidly based on EXS24 samples and playback! That's only one of the many reasons you've got to know how to program, tweak and build your own instruments with the EXS24… and that's exactly what this course is designed to do!

By the time you complete these 26 tutorials, you will have the confidence to start building your own instruments and modify the factory presets to make them uniquely yours.

Nothing like the wrong time for a confession…
8 comments:
I, at first, thought I never heard of this film but I realize I did but it must have come and gone so quick. I love Viggo Mortensen who is an under-rated actor. I would like to see this film but it does sound like one we all say is good but quickly start munching on the popcorn near us. I had heard that Dunst is actually dumm as dirt:)ReplyDeleteReplies
I love Dunst. I think that she's unfairly attacked for having an opinion that isn't that of the masses, but that is how it usually goes...if you don't have a popular opinion then you must be an idiot.Delete
You probably saw this and just forgot...that's what kind of movie this is.
I don't think I'll be seeing this one. Never say never, though. ;)ReplyDeleteReplies
It's bound to appear on Lifetime eventually...Delete
It's a shame this isn't more compelling, because it's definitely the kind of thing I like. I may still give it a go, but with so many great movies and books I haven't gotten around to, it won't be a priority.ReplyDeleteReplies
Yeah...I wouldn't make this any sort of priority...Delete
Having just seen this, I totally agree w/ you Drew. With the talents involved, I expected much more. Still I can't help being more drawn to Oscar Isaac that it's now blossomed into a crush :DReplyDeleteReplies
Yes, I remember your review and I remember thinking...EXACTLY...like, it's nice, but it's missing something and honestly, I've already forgotten most of this :-PDelete

Although having never formally studied clothes design, her passion for craftsmanship and interest in fashion are taking the creative industry by storm. The extension of art into garments as a way to exhibit her work to a wider audience has attracted a lot of interest. Alice's work engages through emotions, ideas and the fascination of form, lines, space, dimension, juxtaposition, and the harmonious flow through aesthetic representations. These artistic expressions form a sense of frivolity, humour, youthful vigour, and adventure. All of this stems from her own interest in expressionism and neo-expressionist painting.

Forever Spring - Poem by Roxanne Dubarry
Oh, how I wish there was a place
Where it was forever Spring.
Where I could walk among stately evergreens
And everything would be peaceful and serene.
I could walk through fields of green grass
And rest beside a quiet little stream.
Oh, now I could breathe clean, fresh country air.
Close my eyes and forget my cares.
The hours would drift pleasantly away. Dear Lord,
This meadow is where I would like to stay.
