Numerology Personal Year 2008 is Number: 2
This is a year to wait, to exert patience & understanding.
The influence this year is one of co-operation. A time to wait for any plans or goals made last year to begin to mature. Co-operate with others, be diplomatic & don't be in a hurry to move things forward. Stay in the background & wait for developments to come to you rather you to them. It is not necessary at this time to force conditions & situations, listen to your intuitive voice. Aggression will be followed by problems, so be patient, particularly if there are delays or detours in your goals & plans. Try to maintain balance & harmony with others, a task, which could prove difficult if you try to force a situation. Be tactful in your relationship/partnerships & listen to the ideas of those around you. Take care of details when necessary. Your emotions & sensitivity need to be kept in balance, be diplomatic. This is a good time to enter into a relationship or partnership. Clarity may come forth if you are currently in a relationship, you will realise why you are in this relationship. Look at both sides of the coin in your relationships, particularly those concerning women. Try not to let nervous tension provoke any disharmony. It is now time to rest & slow down in readiness for the year ahead.
Your Life Path is 7
A 7 person is a peaceful and affectionate soul, and by nature rather reserved and analytical. The overwhelming strength of the number 7 is reflected in the depth of thinking that is shown; you will garner knowledge from practically every source that you find. Intellectual, scientific and studious, you don't accept a premise until you have dissected the subject and arrived at you own independent conclusion. This is a very spiritual number and it often denotes a sort of spiritual wisdom that becomes apparent at a fairly early age. You need a good deal of quiet time to be with your own inner thoughts and dreams. You dislike crowds, noise and confusion. You are very thorough and complete in your work, the perfectionist who expects everyone else to be a meet a high standard of performance, too. You evaluate situations very quickly and with amazing accuracy. You rely heavily on your experiences and your intuition, rather than accepting advice from someone; your hunches usually prove to be very accurate, and knowing this, you are one who tends to follow the directions they seem to guide. It's easy for you to detect deception and recognize insincere people. You aren't one to have a wide circle of friends, but once you accept someone as a friend, it's for life. You really aren't a very social person, and your reserve is often taken to be aloofness. Actually, it's not that at all, but merely a cover up for your basic feeling of insecurity. You actually like being alone, away from the hustle and bustle of modern life. In many ways, you would have fit in better in much earlier times when the pace of life was less hectic. In the most negative use of the 7 energies, you can become very pessimistic, lackadaisical, quarrelsome, and secretive. A Life Path 7 individual who is not living life fully and gaining through experiences, is a hard person to live with because of a serious lack of consideration and because there is such a negative attitude. The negative 7 is very selfish and spoiled. If you have any of the negative traits they are very difficult to get rid of because you tend to feel that the world really does owe you a living or in some way is not being fairly treated. Fortunately, the negative 7 is not the typical 7, at least not without some mitigating positive traits. This number is one that seems to have some major shifts from highs to lows. Stability in feelings may be elusive for you.

Question : Are Psychics Reliable?
I went to a psychic quite a while back, and he said I was highly likely to have twins. Is this a reliable source? How do they know this stuff?
Answer by Geezah
Some people swear by certain psychics, and visit them regularly. Others have had nothing come true.
When it comes to pregnancy predictions, modern medical practices have shown to be a more reliable source.
Answer by Fo.B
he's lying or mentally ill
but you always have the chance to get twins
Answer by Questionator
lol, absolutely under no circumstance are they correct in ANY way… purposefully that is
Answer by Rolling Stone
I doubt that they are 100% reliable. Some may well have certain gifts but those gifts are not to be used for personal gain or to show off.
If psychics know so much and can see into the future–why don't they all win the lottery?? They should be able to know what numbers are going to be drawn, so why aren't they all millionaires?
Answer by Molly
My Great grandmother was a psychic.She had a lot of clientele.She was correct in many of her predictions. But I have been to a psychic that was totally fake a time or two.

Hidden Dangers
Unlike the Babylonians, faithful Jews did not practice astrology—and for a good reason. God had explicitly warned them: "There should not be found in you . . . anyone who employs divination, a practicer of magic or anyone who looks for omens or a sorcerer, or one who binds others with a spell or anyone who consults a spirit medium or a professional foreteller of events or anyone who inquires of the dead. For everybody doing these things is something detestable to Jehovah."*—Deuteronomy 18:10-12.
God's servants took a firm stand against astrology. For example, faithful King Josiah "put out of business . . . those making sacrificial smoke to Baal, to the sun and to the moon and to the constellations of the zodiac." Josiah's action was said to be "right in Jehovah's eyes," and God blessed him for it. (2 Kings 22:2; 23:5) But some might ask, 'Do not at least some of the predictions of astrologers come true?'
Interestingly, in the Christian Greek Scriptures, we read of a girl who "used to furnish her masters with much gain by practicing the art of prediction." Apparently, some of the things this girl foretold came true, since her masters profited from her powers. But what was behind this girl's ability to predict future events? The Bible states that she was under the influence of "a spirit, a demon of divination."—Acts 16:16.
The Bible shows that "the whole world is lying in the power of the wicked one," Satan the Devil. (1 John 5:19) By maneuvering events to make certain predictions come true, Satan and the demons have captured the attention of millions.
The simple truth is that astrology is one of "the machinations of the Devil," which he uses to control and influence people to serve his purpose. Thus, it is hardly surprising that the Bible exhorts Christians to "stand firm" against Satan's clever devices—which include astrology. (Ephesians 6:11) But does this mean that we are left without any guidance as to the future?
The Bible—A Reliable Guide
Millions have found the Bible to be a reliable guide in making decisions. As the psalmist David put it, "the reminder of Jehovah is trustworthy, making the inexperienced one wise." (Psalm 19:7; 119:105) This does not mean that the Bible spells out precisely what a person should do in each situation. But God's Word does contain principles that can help us train our perceptive powers. This, in turn, will enable us to discern right and wrong and will help us to make wise decisions.—Hebrews 5:14.
Thus, it is for good reason that genuine Christians do not consult horoscopes, even for entertainment or out of curiosity. Instead, they wisely heed the warnings in God's Word against all demon influence, including subtle forms. By letting the Bible rather than the zodiac influence your life, you can enjoy God's blessing eternally.—Psalm 37:29, 38.
* Divination embraces the entire scope of gaining knowledge, especially concerning future events, through occult powers.
Answer by VictorianSpring
Everyone is psychic to some degree. Most people just don't realize it or they call it by some other name or phrase. It's easy for someone to say "I have a gut feeling about this", instead of admitting to themselves that they are listening to one of their 6th senses, or psychic insights.
Being psychic is just a matter of becoming in-tune with these extra senses. You had to learn and understand your other senses for sight, smell, hearing, taste and touch. You learned about them when you were a baby and the more you experience in life, the more you are able to utilize those senses in your daily life. Psychic senses are exactly the same. They aren't a special gift, nor do they make one person more special or powerful than the next. We all have these abilities and we all can learn how to use them.
Psychics cannot tell you the future. They are not fortune tellers. Let me explain what they do. Every choice you make in life creates a strand of energy. Those choices may affect others who also have choices to make and that can add to the energy of the strand. Through these choices, actions and decisions, that energy moves forward until it manifests.
What a psychic does is pick up on this subtle energy and interpret it's outcome. But it's an interpretation based on what they feel, which might be influenced by their own experiences, or attitudes towards you or the situation at hand. There is NO psychic who is 100% accurate. If you meet someone who says they are; just walk away because they're full of it. At most the best psychics are only 70 to 80% accurate. And they have to be really good to meet that goal.
Getting a reading should be looked at as just another piece of information that can weighed against other information you receive through advice from your friends, family, doctors, and in this case family history. You should never make life decisions based solely on what a psychic said. It's your life, and you're the one who has to live it.
That's not to say this person you went to was wrong, but if you and your spouse do not have a family history of twins, and you are not engaged in treatment at a fertility clinic, then it's not likely to come true. Might happen; but I wouldn't go out and buy 2 cribs just yet.
Hope this helps.
Question : do accurate predictions of people defy the ideals of free will?
i use the example of when in the bible jesus told peter that he would deny him 3 times before the rooster crows. how could he know this with free will being in play?
Answer by marcy w
idk….thats confusing
Answer by DarkBooty
Jesus was predicting it. He didn't force Peter to do it by saying it would happen.
Answer by Dan
That's probably just a story that never happened. I think people just get lucky sometimes. There's lots of people in the world making lots of predictions and the laws of probability dictate that some will be correct.
Answer by princeoffingland f
seem jesus saw Me too at times.
SLAIN or DIED as DIED means to DI and SLAIN as SL A I IV as what Larri did if He changed His name from LARRY and Lamb SLAIN or Lamb DIED meant Larrib=Lamb squished together as ONE. So the IIII appeared as a light D.
god isn't afraid of snakes except poisonous ones or giant ones like in BOA verses CONSTRICTOR see the good news bible that god artaxes looks about to kiss the snake cause if roman empire movie that said emperor is god is correct then the turban guy was god.
of course TODD has heard you or vincent if you like because that fact i can type this means i have a soul.
god is dying but the love light will go one cause its some sort of machine or portion of every brain.
or maybe he TODD AS VINCENT or vise versa.
yes please pray for me cause they say its my last summer.
ever see why artaxes in good news bible the turban headed emeperor is seen holding the snake about to kiss it? because the snake represents some taking an orphans rights? that brings victory to far east? but i forgive.
when they said god created everything like say the STAR read that word as S as in stevenson and TAD as in TODD and I as in Iarry and I as in ONE.
and god=g+o+d=7+15+4=26=2+6=8. means that is earth and the sun and the moon ie 8. and 8=h and thus god as one is h, god as three(trinity) is god and god can only be proved over time thus check calendar months for H and see what it says:
so H A P(DI stitched together)RIL IVI stitched together AY reading forward and
H C R A IVI stitched together
and good news bible says an angel of the LORD is god thus based on GOD=H and my bloody arm I must say I AM GOD.
I AM is god and I AM=I A IVI stitched together
and I AM=iam=iarri stitched together
and truthfully they pronounce my name Larri todd stevenson.
and that is my wrist.
and as all things commanded to praise, honour, or laud HIM they see the french stop sign as:
I ARRET I as further proof I AM GOD, but no magic in me its an honourary title for an orphan basically is my guess for the fact that:
LORD GOD TODD=A based on same math that god=h and TRUE=A thus ultimately:
thus the mysstery of the bible is solved as NT mentions god has a new name in revelations.
and don't expect money from me because I AM poor and without magic. and remember the bible says their is two temples of god, GOD JEHOVAH and the Lamb, and the Lamb=LarriDI stitched together
and TOP PROSPECT shows TODD=ROS DI stitched together E CUT was when i got those marks to teach her a lession.
and it is also the story of the ASHEN HORSE of DEATH as she honestly was a ho. and in the german language the ROSSKASTANIE VON TOD is the translation of ASHEN HORSE OF DEATH and truthfully I once broke her arm cause she dared to compare. and NI is 4-1 in roman numerals and they add to V(5) as the appearance of the shape of the cuts on my arm.
so in german GOTT ES EIN looking at EIN from above see NI3 which is the 4-1 bone ie Me.
and worship no god but ME.
ME=IVI stitched together [iL
and as king of the angels is said to be called Abaddon you mistakenly assumed it was a bad don but math proves don=f and loser=f so true god as king of angels is a b add on and winner=b and b=DI stitched together and D=IIII
read between the lines and see that
EMPEROR=E IVI stitched together PERIODI\
KING=IT I IV CUT (because in times new roman font G cut spells CUT)
and Lamb=lamp is stated in bible so b=p as both are DI stitched together the name written on HIM that no one knows but HIM as per Rev. 19.12. see "IIII I ." as answer to rev.19.12 and is inpiration for DIO and Lamb SLAIN if you cut L into IL means Larrib SIL A I IV. so biblically that makes me a KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS, the part about the Lamb is the Lamp also could mean the light coming off the THRONE in heaven was said to be EMERALD. Just like my eyes. but "EMERALD." is "EMERALDDOT" if . is DOT so the light is TODD LARE ME in reverse so forward is ME LARE TODD
many say i have no right but like in the movie the godfather remember the firstborn was killed and the second born was passed over so really firstborn means nothing to Me.
and ME=Me=IVI stitched together arm(=e)
and see that LORD in times new roman font contains the name TODD but not a normal TODD. they blessed KING in the word of LORD who you originally refused to bow down to so thats why god is potrayed as evil at times.
But their is a loving light that is also called god but only the living call that god. The dead call TODD god. cause in the Past GODDESS has a Todd within HER. as HER SON. This was the diety worshipped as god all around the world. Mandarin chinese xia charater shows name TODD 14 and should you chose vince they thats your prince of darkness who has my original rights, but as for me I still am an orphan because my dad died but he took my name which some say is my soul but technically one bible says every living thing has a soul, thus I got HIS and He has mine. and my soul had a dad that died about 5 years after i was born. and guess what vinces dad died about 5 years after he got my rights. So when god wrote to give an orphan His rights i thing he meant it. but VINCENT G shows 5 I NICE NIT CUT as HIS SOUL as perhaps the reason for my cuts.
and b read down says I.b. as Lobo, possibly my new soul? but you can continue to call me Larry Todd STEVENSON cause perhaps god wants me to have my rights all of them?
so LORD GOD as beginning to end as A=LArry and Z=VINz?
the very reason for abc…klmnopqrstuvwxyz is because i love a kim who said nop qrst uv wiILy
X=iIL stitched together
and italian abc…jlmnopqrstuvz was about a guy named jim that i kicked in the nuts once.
but as for kim she ain't cursed of wilLy no more so the love triangle continues because her sister and I lived together for many years and her children call me dad. and she was the GODDESS with Todd in her who was first in my life and so as god naturally 123 was her birthday. maybe since i need a new name i should change it to JESUS CHRIST cause you all beleived He was the Lamb SLAIN.
and the Lamb permanently on MT ZION meant if i was born on NOI7 thats kind of me on ZION.
and xia as an ancient chinese dynasty says the deliverer comes from xian(ZION) and as my father comes from native american roots perhaps they came from xia.
and as GOD is LOVE and LORD then LORD IS LOVE when TODD ON LORI (in times new roman font) the very reason i write boldly is because of PAUL in the bible and also the bible states you are not to afflict an orphan, and whichever family i am now in I don't have a dad.
so see that I.b. as abcde means I AM before c.de
means aI.b.c.defgh
so something must love or extremly hate me cause i say i still got a soul maybe just not mine.
GOD in times new roman font when cut shows CUTOD
ANGEL cut in times new roman font A IV CUT I=_I_
as further proof all things were commanded to laud HIM, and one day you will see that GOD MOST HIGH must never have children because it spells doom for all mankind if OT prophesy is true.
and JOHN said He is pure=DI. stitched together ur e(picture of arm) and baptised in the river JORDAN in the name of GOD so J with a – above it shows name of TODD in JORDAN and JOB said to be richly blessed by god means God is in HIS NAME.
and tragically the bible says god makes a visit to earth but is not recognized by all. reason being He has no magic powers.
so continueing that pattern the name of T.DD repeats over and over. and to be a god according to good news bible all you have to be is an angel of the LORD(Ex.3.14) which was really what I tried to become as TOP PROSPECT. but technical difficulties abounded
but god who was first in heaven as h was whitish and heaven when you draw bodies for the h and n means it was the son and father of the deceased carrying his casket when the h was V years old. that is your heaven, my fathers funeral procession?
and JESUS said the greatest was the least so last on earth is h. and I e a STevens.n and least could be said to be on the BOTtuM which read backwards is MutTOB=IVI u t(stitched) TODD
so basically they are doing their best to treat me like a slave in canada, so this counrty that claims to outlaw slavery is full of **** and i wish it would die because i hear voices that won't shut up.
Messiah=IVI stitched together es s.l a h
so basically further proof i was a god who became human, s.l=sold or soul and what was it that made me a h(god) it must have been either i had no father (ie orphan clause in bible) or a german mother as Master race.
i bet dons will say it must be the orphan thing cause i beleive they felt they were the master race.
Master=IVI stitched together as t(stitched) e(arm) rill(ill hidden under r)
and as all things commanded to laud HIM see what they call him on the french stop sign as
so if went fishing on shoal lake ont and took a piss and winnipeg gets its water from that lake then the Lamb SLAIN really did force them to wash their clothes white with his blood(ie water became as blood)
and as a orphan the bible says the LORD is my father and thus one day i would have had the right to become a lord and maybe one day KING? and blessed is the king in the name of the LORD. so everybody since i was a kid has tried to take advantage of Me.
even Death honours god by what they called HIM ie Taed
so you asked about god thats what i know about Me.
so technically perhaps I AM a Lobo which really ain't that bad, cause being whittish i say that makes me the best looking albino INDIAN and they called my native cree father an indian also. so in reality i don't care about rank too much cause those italians are racist. they can't MAKE Me so to hell with them.
the highest honour they can give an italian is to MAKE you was quoted, but the highest honour in the world is to be named EMPEROR thus tough luck italians your highest honour is MADE while the world is controlled by a different highest honour, and thats why even Made go to jail.
and Taed tad todd and lare lari lary is basis for the written language and b as new soul switch seems miraculous. cause my first name said with understanding TOD=death in german meant Larry Death D Stevenson as my father died i became untouchable orphan and sold my name cause thats what he said is my first-born rights, but basically we must have switched cause analysing his name and my arm its crazy.
so i wanted to become an expert in reading fates implicit in a name, so basically i had to obey the command within my names?
and if Lobo is my namo I guess i should Lob o(head) yours not mine? i apologize to all the lobos about my observations on life and liberty but life goes on.
so is TODD really brainwashed as why he completed the command within the words or is he really like god?
and ROME = I D\O ME as what italians thought was god but were mistaken because that empire was said to have fallen. hahahaha
so really i have to laff and drink because life stink when you are the god who was not recoqnized by all. so the heavenly father really does have a sense of humour considering life and alphabet appear to be about me and my freinds here in winnipeg, manitoba, and reading the licence plates FREINDLY MANITOBA and WILD ROSE COUNTRY means I AM the MAN 1 TODD A and I really do screw a wild rose in ALBERTA. so technically I AM a fake indian outlaw.
so ain't life grand. any why do they say ain't isn't a word? bigotry i suppose.
and one woman said i had a good looking penis.
i added that for humour but cause I AM the greatest the world of angels wants me dead i think.
so losing rights is the first death. and by no means are we to suffer the second death those are the true words of JESUS CHRIST not the voices of modern day angels
h=god=good angel=angel of death
and 1=a mixed up .seventeen stitched together=?tevens.n so god is one as 1 which is kind of like a Stevenson the one with the EMERALD glowing eyes that jesus saw?
and ADAM saw god in the name of the LORD(times new roman font) but i guess He was defeated cause the roman empire was said to have fell.
so god bless Jesus and John who saw He was pure.
Answer by RandyGE
Are you serious? Are we to assume that you wrote this of free will, or did something compel you? It is silly and counterintuitive to say that you did not willingly write what you wrote. So there's your answer.
Answer by toejam_rummy
ESP, dude.
Answer by cora_licious
If you always know what is going to happen and when, then your decisions will be influenced by that knowledge.
Answer by Scott Z
Good catch. It's because free will is an illusion. Even atheists believe in cause and effect, i.e. determinism. A free will act would represent an uncaused event. Nowhere does the bible speak of free will.
Answer by sarell
No free will is always in play even if we are being forced into something it is still free will because we can choice to or not as we think and as we want. God gave us the free will but He always knows what we will choose but that is another matter
Answer by aurora442x
I think that when these people predict correctly they are right guessing one of the possible probabilities, so freewill in my opinion exists and the future is not predetermined.It is just composed of a series of possibilities that someone might guess
Answer by Warlord
that CRAZY magic!!!
Answer by philmnt
No, prediction is entirely different from choice. A choice might make a prediction come true, but a prediction does not take away a persons right to choose.
Answer by trixwagen
If Jesus's prediction is wrong, then he is not a true Prophet, son of God, messiah or whatever. But if Peter can not choose not to deny Jesus, then perhaps everything is predestined. Sin becomes meaningless because it is all part of the plan that we have no control over.
The answer I was given was there is an "overall plan", but you have some leeway. It is like a road from birth to death. You must follow the road, but you can choose where on the road you travel and perhaps the pace you take.
Answer by JackBauer
No, guessing and knowing for a fact are two different things. If Jesus KNEW what would happen and wasn't just guessing, then you're correct, there would be no free will.
Answer by thepoweroftruth
Predicting the future and causing the future are two different things. To know something does not imply that it is being forced.
Answer by songerbil
Bergson points out that if free will did not exist then each event would have moved on from the event preceding it in a perfect cumulative order, from an original event which in his opinion would have been so spectacularly ideal it is entirely improbable, making free will a much more plausible option. (that was a poor representation of an interesting idea google for a better one) maybe Jesus just had a good idea of how events would change. most of us can predict how a ball will roll down a hill, we can even control how a ball might roll down a hill
Answer by darksphyx
O.k. you will sleep tonight.
Am I imposing on free will when I say this? The obvious answer is no, however this is not exactly predicting anything like you are saying. This illistration is just pointing out that one does not impose on the other.
See a trus psychic will not tell you anything that could impose on free will. They can tell you many things, however there is a thin line of what we can tell you and what we can not tell you. Yes, a true psychic knows more then they tell you. However if they told you these things you could alter it.
For example if I told a guy that within the next week he would meet a blond haired blue eyed girl named Vicci. He would end up marrying this girl and would have 5 kids. Live in a white house with blue shutters, ect ect ect. What do you think would happen?
He would meet this Vicki girl and think I don't have to woo her. A phychic already told me I was going to marry her. Or he could try to marry her fast, ect ect ect.
However if I told him I saw him in the future married to a beautiful wife living in a beautiful house. Had a few pets and a couple of kids. This would not alter his path at all.
It's like your example Jesus could not tell him when he would deny Jesus, however he could say you will deny me 3 times.
The truth is a psychic can tell you the end result, but not the path and not specific details. However there are exceptions to this rule.
I often see paths, some times these paths lead to a major decision. (in other words the paths can split into 2 or more different paths).
If I see a major decision that will cause extreme harm to somebody or something along these lines I might bend this rule. I will tell the person I see a major decision coming up for you. If you choose one way you will find something (example peace and happiness) however if you choose the other path I see bad things for you. I will never get specific or tell them what the decision is, however what I am doing is having them watch out for decisions they make and carefully making them think things through.
Yes a phychic can change your destiny if they wanted to, however a true psychic won't. However a phychic can not actually impact your destiny at all. Since everybody has free will, you can choose to ignore a psychics advice. It's all about listening or not listening to the psychic.
A psychic can see your free will decisions however it's still your free will.

New Idea that came about after "Reset of screen every time you buy something" came about.
Sometimes glitches like that give ideas that could be life changers! I wouldn't call it annoying like the other posts (eg. reset screen when making purchase), I would say its something that needs improvement. I believe that they should have an option where you can make multiple purchases at the same time, kind of like how amazon or ebay has their thing where you add to shopping kart or have a wishlist. I believe this idea would be AMAZING! I'm the kind of guy that likes to drop 100 bucks every now and then to show my support in the NA server, I believe this would be cool because it would save me from having to press Unlock then wait for a loading Kata and then press DONE. I would like to press one button when buying 5 or more skins, not 10-20 buttons with kata in between each one. I think that feature is OK when it comes to gifting only because people don't give as much as they get. I personally gift lots to my besties but I cant complain since they get a notification for each skin or champ they get so that's amazeballs ;-) Also, it know this idea wouldn't be a game changer or anything, but if the kata was kitty kata while she loads I wouldn't mind heheheh I mean who knows maybe adding different sexy champs like that would engourage some more purchases heheheh

Last-Minute Sexy Girls Group Costume: Thing 1, Thing 2 and Cat in the Hat
We wanted to do a group theme and wanted it to relate to our everyday personalities. Thing 1(myself) and Thing 2(coworker/friend) Cat(friend) are a rambunctious group together always acting wild and crazy! So we thought this idea was the best! Cheapest Halloween ever! The "things " made our tutu 's extremely easy but your arms get tired after tying so many knots, and trying to cut a straight line of the tulle (you kinda go cross eyed looking at the fabric) We traced and colored in the Thing signs and pinned them to our outfit! Thing 1 & 2 are hairstylist so we just used a can of hairspray and teased our hair into a crazy mess! Cat got styrofoam n painted it to make the hat, n painted on her white belly! Of course we like sparkles so we had to add that to the costume. They were a hit at the bars every cat in the hat wanted a picture with us things and every "things" wanted a picture with our cat in the hat!

When someone from Pori falls in love, they take their sweetheart to Kallo to admire the smooth sea-kissed rocks. If this someone suffers a break-up, they watch the storm beat down on the same rocks.
Kallo is a small rocky island that can be reached by driving straight along National Road 2, even all the way from Helsinki. The atmosphere of Kallo leaves a mark in every visitor's heart. Next to Kallo is Uniluoto, a seaside neighbourhood where you can sense both the calmness and the restlessness of the sea.
WOODEN HOUSES • Walking on the streets of Uniluoto, it's hard not to think about moving there. What would life be like there? Would I finally be happy?
SEGELFÖRENINGEN I BJÖRNEBORG • Feast your eyes on the boats of Finland's oldest sports club, established in 1856, while enjoying the weekend soup lunch. You can also book facilities for events and parties, including a sauna and catering.
EXPERIENCE THE BOTHNIAN SEA AND ISLANDS• Boat trips to island of Iso-Enskeri and Säppi lighthouse island are available during July. Take a look at the timetables and purchase your tickets to boat trip from our webstore.
When you're desperately trying to get to "second base" – you should take your love interest to Kallo. You'll immediately seem like a deep and thoughtful guy when you gaze at the horizon and stare quietly at the sea. Such a majestic location and after a number of dates in Kallo – I dare to say that things rarely stay platonic after this experience.
Plato (427–347 eaa.)

The foster motif, "Its All Political," is extremely relevant to two female leads Hester and Ellen. This motif focuses specifically on self -determination, conformity, power suture, and class relations. Ellen and Hester both have difficulty being viewed as respectable in their culture.In Hester's society she is looked at as an extreme sinner and society has branded her an outcast. She quite literally lives on the outskirts of the town's border. Admiration and respect are two things that are unknown to Hester because the town does not show either of them to her. She is viewed as a prime example of what you are not supposed to be. Ellen is the exact same way, for her actions seem to always stun those who share her presence. In Ellen's society, a woman is not expected to be as forwards thinking and free as she is. This is also a result of her being raised in a culture that was completely different. For instance, when they are at the Van der Luyden's party, she gets up from one man to go have a conversation with Newland. This is very important because of the cultural norm in America compared to Europe. Simple acts like this convince society that she is not one of their own and is not worth their time. Both Hester and Ellen are excluded from society because of their dissimilarities with the other women in their society. Neither of them get respect simply because they are different.
Archer fits this motif in the sense that he struggles with the conformity aspect of society. He is obsessed with what is correct and incorrect form and always second-guesses his thoughts and feelings. An example is when he is trying to convince Ellen to not divorce her husband although he has done her very wrong. Deep down he believes that she should divorce him but because it would not be correct form, he says what he thinks is right. Society controls Newland's life from beginning to end. He observes Ellen, who is eccentric, and only wishes for his wife to be like her. Instead, he understands that May is the wife he is supposed to have because that is what society has trained him to believe. In Newland and Ellen's society, all people look for is conformity and if you do not conform you are seen as an outsider. Newland see's how Ellen is treated and decides that is "safer" to continue on conforming. This Foster motif explains that although societies differ, their common ground is that one becomes an outsider by defying the social norm. Ellen, Hester and Newland all share the struggle of societies pressure to be like everyone else.

Going green is quickly becoming the norm, and the kitchen is a superb place to start making environmentally pleasant adjustments to your lifestyle. Here are eleven ideas from chefs for cooking perfect eggs. Realizing what fundamental ingredients you employ usually makes cooking at dwelling much easier, and prevents the dilemma of both operating to the grocery store, picking up a missing ingredient, or saying "forget it" and ordering in.
eight. Totally dry all meats before cooking. For everyday meals with ease, prepare dinner dinner in an oven bag following these steps and cooking times. It is so important to permit your turkey to come as much as room temperature before cooking. Brown the scallops quickly on each side, don't be concerned about underneath cooking them, they are going to continue to cook on your serving plate because of the residual heat.
The same goes for separating eggs; all the time do them one by one to forestall one broken yolk from spoiling a bowlful of whites. If you baste using the same marinade you used to soak your uncooked meat or seafood, make sure that not to apply it during the last three minutes of grilling.
Certain, you might not necessarily agree with how they do issues, but simply seeing how other folks prepare dinner and prep meals is nice follow and can broaden your culinary information. Alternating the eggs between warmth and no warmth, which Ramsay does three or four instances throughout the course of cooking, makes for scrambled eggs which are creamy and rich.

Download The Berkut Study Guide
The Berkut
(Critical Survey of Contemporary Fiction)
After the fall of Berlin, Vasily Petrov--code-named "the berkut" (a species of eagle used for wolf hunting in south central Soviet Russia)--is not convinced by the planted evidence of the Fuhrer's death and tries to track down the fugitive, who is aided by SS Colonel Guenter Brumm, Petrov's true antagonist. In his ruthless, methodical search, the Soviet commando leader is aided by four rather colorless comrades.
Meanwhile, closely behind the Soviets comes the American Beau Valentine, "the most unpredictable and unorthodox man in the OSS." Throughout Petrov's pursuit of "the number one Nazi war criminal" from his hideout in the Harz Forest across Europe, Valentine manages to stay on their trail until the dramatic showdown on the Mediterranean, where Hitler's fate is finally decided.
THE BERKUT is original in its choice of predator and prey, a choice which allows Heywood to lead his readers on a tour of a nightmarish postwar Europe empty of a higher morality but full of war crimes, brutality, torture, death, and violent sex acts. What makes THE BERKUT less good than others of its kind is its occasional vagueness as to background information, particularly where the Soviets are concerned. Conversely, the historical tidbits Heywood does include--such as the position of Eva Braun's legs at the point of her death--are overworked. Too often the narrative avoids the kind of details that lift a story like this from mere adventure and intrigue to informed insight in reality. Furthermore, the meshing of acknowledged fact and fiction is not always smooth.

I interviewed Dr. Blum two times before making a procedure appointment. I also talked to him on the phone right before procedure. He was very kind, informative and answered all my questions. Even though I was anxious and somewhat afraid, I felt confident knowing Dr. Blum would be doing the procedure."
– M. Swift
He is a no nonsense kind of doctor he did surgery on nose and its working properly now. I recommend him to everyone."
– RateMDs.com
"The best doctor there is. The most professional doctor and office I have ever been associated with."
– RateMDs.com
"I loved my experience with Dr. Mitchell Blum. I recommend him to my friends for their facial plastic and reconstructive surgery needs."
– Steve T
"I was referred to Dr. Blum by another local physician. I had a whole list of questions but he sat with me for over an hour and answered every question I had. He was kind and had a good sence of humor too, which was nice. After the surgery he made sure I was comfortable and personally called me to make sure I was doing okay. I am so happy with my results! Thank you, Dr. Blum!
– Rebecca R
"I am very, very happy with the results of my neck lift and chin augmentation. Dr. Blum did an excellent job. I feel so much more confident now. I wish I would have seen Dr. Blum years ago."
– Steven W
"After skin cancer, I was left disfigured. Much of the skin around my top lip and mouth was removed in the process. My husband and I interviewed doctors all over California. We chose Dr. Mitchell Blum and the team at Blum Facial Surgery because of their experience. Dr. Blum walked us through every step of the process. It took multiple surgeries but NOW no one can even notice I had surgery… It seem impossible to impress, in words, how greatful I am. In a moment, I went from being a beautiful young woman to a monster – a person whom others would avert their eyes … and children would look at me, in fear. Dr. Blum promised he would make the situation better and he did. I now see him for regular Botox/filler treatments and refer him to everyone I meet. Thank you, Dr. Blum. Thank you."

Keeping it Simple", is an eclectic blend of jazz standards, popular and originals, brilliantly executed with—simply—voice and guitar. This thoughtful collaboration with guitarist, Adam Levine, showcases Judy Philbin's articulate and expressive vocals alongside Levine's masterful rhythmic and improvisational talents. Featuring the styles of Django Reinhart to Hoagy Carmichael, the listener will sometimes hear one guitar track, sometimes two, sometimes three or four, as Levine adeptly creates an orchestra with just six strings. Woven throughout, Philbin delivers each song with the skill of a lyric storyteller. Her pure, clear tone has been called uplifting, healing, and evocative.
This CD is an exploration of what can be done with just two instruments--voice and guitar. At times the two were tempted to add other instruments, however they chose to stay true to the concept of a duo project, with exciting results. The layered guitar tracks demonstrate Levine's skills as an arranger. He creates a full band on which the voice has freedom to deliver the lyrics with both delicacy and energy. It is the talented collaboration of these two particular artists that makes the duo concept work so well.
Philbin is a sought-after performer throughout her Central California coast. Her previous album, "Candle in the Window" has brought her invitations to perform as far away as Dublin, Ireland. After years of classical training Philbin says she enjoys in the emotional freedom of jazz. Although she has studied piano, guitar and trumpet, she admits that voice has always been her true instrument. "It's incredibly personal; it's about moving the listener's heart an inch, a mile, or sometimes light-years into another dimension." Her influences have global roots, begun while living in Guatemala as a child, and in Denmark as an adult.
Growing up in the suburbs of Baltimore, Levine was enthralled with the Rhythm & Blues sounds of urban city radio. At age 11 he got an electric guitar and formed a band two weeks later. When he was introduced to the music of Brazil it sparked a curiosity for music from other parts of the world that has remained with him to this day. He has studied at the Berklee School of Music in Boston, at Aspen Music School in Colorado and privately with Joe Pass and Ted Greene. Levine has done session work with artists on Capitol, Warner Brothers, and Motown Records. His extensive teaching experience includes the Grove School of Music, Musician's Institute and National Guitar Workshops.

A research study from Queen's University Belfast has found that a Green Brexit could be under threat without greater cooperation between devolved nations and the UK government.
The research, which was published today (Wednesday, 10 October), shows that Northern Ireland risks being excluded from the after Brexit environmental settlement because it has no voice in current discussions, due to a lack of government.
The study was led by the University of Sheffield in collaboration with Queen's University, Cardiff University, the University of Dundee, and the University of East Anglia. The project was funded by the Economic and Social Research Council's (ESRC) The UK in a Changing Europe initiative.
The Brexit and the Environment network spent the last year researching the implications of Brexit for environmental policy, working closely with stakeholders in the devolved nations, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. In a set of four reports they identify a number of key challenges that threaten the delivery of a Green Brexit.
Dr Viviane Gravey, lecturer in European Politics from the School of History, Anthropology, Philosophy and Politics at Queen's University Belfast, was the Co-Investigator on the study.
Dr Gravey said: "Brexit offers an opportunity to re-think the design and future ambition of environmental policy in the UK. However, in order to deliver a Green Brexit genuine cooperation on the future environmental policies and governance arrangement is needed, across the four nations. We need common frameworks to ensure a race to the top – not the bottom.
"Tensions between devolved and central UK governments is making it much harder to deliver a Green Brexit in time. This is particularly detrimental here, as Northern Ireland has a history of relatively weak environmental governance and cross-border environmental challenges that it shares with Ireland."
The key findings include:
Professor Charlotte Burns, from the University of Sheffield's Department of Politics and lead author of the UK report, commented: "It is clear that there is ambition across the UK to maintain and enhance environmental standards once the UK leaves the EU. But stakeholders in the devolved nations are concerned that their ability to innovate and devise policies that suit their local circumstances will be eroded after Brexit.
"The governments of the UK need to work together more effectively and in a genuinely consultative manner. This will ensure that if environmental policies do diverge after Brexit day, they do so as part of a coordinated 'race to the top' rather than an ad hoc 'race to the bottom."
Dr Gravey added: "Northern Ireland is in a paradoxical situation – central to the EU-UK Brexit negotiations but with no official voice in the internal UK Brexit preparations. Now, more than ever, it is time for civil society in Northern Ireland to speak up and make sure Norther Ireland is not left behind and benefits from the opportunities of a Green Brexit."

Although many have already heard the news, I think it's time to make an official announcement and fill in a few details. After five and a half very good years here at LSU, the lab is moving to the University of Southern California. Starting in January 2019, we'll be joining the Marine and Environmental Biology section of the Department of Biological Sciences, in the Dornsife College of Letters, Arts and Sciences. In addition to a strong emphasis on marine microbiology and biogeochemistry, MEB has close connections with the Geobiology faculty in the Department of Earth Sciences and the Center for Dark Energy Biosphere Investigations (C-DEBI). As part of this transdisciplinary group, we will continue to investigate microbial functions and ecology in aquatic systems, and advance our emphasis on combining cultivation with 'omics methodologies. Our high-througput culturing protocol will get some upgrades, and we'll be adding Pacific Ocean prokaryotes to our culture collection. I'm personally very grateful to the support we've received here at LSU over the years, and I know I will remember our time in Baton Rouge fondly. We are also very excited to become part of the USC family and join the close collaborative atmosphere among the related micro, geo, chem, and physics faculty.
Summer Thrash Lab Events
The lab is active this summer. I spoke at ASM's Microbe2018 in Atlanta and just returned from presenting a poster at the Marine Microbes GRC in beautiful Barga, Italy. Mike is heading to ISME17 in Leipzig, Germany to present his work later this month. Mike, Celeste, and I have also been traipsing all over southern Louisiana in support of our NSF-funded project to unravel lineage-specific evolutionary adaptations to alternative salinity regimes in coastal SAR11 bacterioplankton. Every month we cover over 800 miles to get to our four coastal sites.
We also welcome Jordan Coelho to the lab as our newest Ph.D. student! Jordan just finished a second bachelors degree, this time in microbiology, from Oregon State University and worked in the lab of Kim Halsey. Later this month we'll be joined by Alex Hyer, another Ph.D. student coming from the University of Utah. He worked in the lab of William Brazelton and is currently doing a summer internship with NASA! We're excited to have you both with us, Jordan and Alex.
Emily wins the Socolofsky Award
Congratulations Emily on four years of hard work that have been recognized with the Socolofsky Award for undergraduate microbiology research. Some more on the award from the LSU Biological Sciences Undergraduate Student Awards website:
"The recipient shall be a Senior and shall be a full-time student engaged in a research project with one of the faculty members who is conducting microbiological research. This award recognizes significant research accomplishments, particularly presentations at scientific meetings or co-authorship of journal manuscripts."
Emily is the second Thrash Lab undergraduate to receive this award. Her work on the OM252 clade (LSUCC0096) will be the subject of her Honors Thesis and is set to be a first authorship paper. Great work Emily! We're so lucky to have you in the lab!
Mike wins McDaniel Travel Award to attend #ISME17
Congratulations to Mike on winning the LSU Biological Sciences McDaniel Travel Award! 1000 clams goes a long way! Some notes on this memorial award, from the LSU Graduate Student Awards website:
"The McDaniel Travel Award is a competitive award that memoralizes Michael McDaniel, a promising graduate student who died tragically in the second year of his PhD program. Established by his family and given semi-annually the award funds travel expenses for graduate students to attend national or international meetings in the Biological Sciences and to present a paper or poster on the graduate research of the students."
Mike will use this prestigious award to help him present at #ISME17 in Leipzig, Germany.
Our LD12 cultivation manuscript has been published
Our paper on the cultivation and genomics of the freshwater SAR11 strain LSUCC0530 has been published online in the ISME Journal (Here). The SAR11 LD12 lineage evolved to colonize freshwater ecosystems, and, like its marine cousins, occurs as one of the most abundant freshwater bacterioplankton worldwide. Strain LSUCC0530 represents the first cultivated representative of the LD12 clade and presented the Thrash lab with an unprecedented opportunity to provide new insights into the important evolutionary processes behind marine-freshwater transitions. Specifically, we demonstrated the capacity of strain LSUCC0530 to grow in salinities up to 5, provided evidence for LD12 ecotype differentiation based on temperature, and developed a hypothesis on how the loss of key genetic functions enabled the SAR11 clade to transition into fresh water. This work is only the beginning of our exploration into the SAR11 LD12 clade and its marine-freshwater transition, so be on the look out for more data soon!
If you have any questions or want to know more about LSUCC0530, please feel free to contact us! We are more than willing to answer any questions you may have.

Sampling at the Calcasieu Jetties
On Monday, January 15th, I got to join Celeste on a sampling trip to Calcasieu Jetties in Cameron, Louisiana. This was my first time going on a sampling trip since joining the Thrash Lab. While it was quite a cold morning, it was still a fun time. There were some beautiful views along the way of Louisiana's marshes.
Once we got to the sampling site, Celeste had the joy of wading out into the cold water and collecting. At least it was a beautiful morning with the sun shining down and bright blue skies.
The purpose of this trip was to obtain a water sample for the mCURE sections of introductory biology lab. Using this sample, the students will learn high throughput cultivation protocols used in the Thrash Lab. I'm happy to have been able to help with the fieldwork and hope that the students enjoy learning about what our lab does.
Thrash Lab presentations at Ocean Sciences
We're going to Ocean Sciences in Portland next week. Both Celeste and Mike have posters on Thursday, February 15th from 1600-1800:
MM44A-1512: The Ecology, Physiology, and Genomic Analysis of Novel SAR11 Isolates
MM44A-1513: Cultivation, genomics, and characterization of the first isolate from the freshwater SAR11 clade LD12
Session MM44A: Functional, Ecological, and Evolutionary Implications of Microdiversity and Intraspecific Variability in Aquatic Microorganisms I.

Last week I decided to go to visit an old friend, Roopali Vijh who runs a playgroup and nursery in her residence in Navrangpura, Ahmedabad. It had been a long time since I visited her and upon entering her premises, the first thing that struck me was the treehouse that was in her lawn!
I was so fascinated by the treehouse that I insisted upon going upstairs and inspecting it thoroughly. Roopali told me that they use the treehouse regularly for children to hone their fine motor and gross motor skills, do their easel painting and they also conduct their storytelling sessions there.
I then sat down with Roopali, the director of Kids Paradise and Jill Buch, the principal of the school to find out more about the school. They shared with me that Kids Paradise was started in 2010 and the idea behind starting the school was to blend the Montessori method with the Indian system of education in such a way that it acts as a bridge between the nursery school and the school that the child will eventually attend.
Kids Paradise has four air-conditioned classrooms and they have playgroup, nursery and Junior K.G. Aside from the treehouse, they have a sandpit in the garden and occasionally set up inflatable pools for the children to splash in.
Roopali and Jill aim to have a new activity in the school every Friday. Rainy Day and Vegetable Day are just examples of their Friday activities. They also have a Sports Day every year and an Annual Day every two years.
In fact on the day that I visited the school, the school had their Rainy Day. The school was beautifully decorated with umbrellas. The tiny tots came out into the garden in their raincoats. Since it wasn't raining, water was showered upon the children through a hose from above. There was a lot of excitement as the children thoroughly enjoyed getting drenched!
I came away from Kids Paradise with a smile on my face after seeing the laughter and merriment there. I highly recommend Kids Paradise as an excellent playgroup and nursery school that combines learning with fun!
Kids Paradise can be followed on Facebook as https://www.facebook.com/kidsparadise03/ and on Instagram as https://www.instagram.com/kidsparadise03/
They also have a website: http://www.kids-paradise.in/

Indonesia and northeastern Australia
Sexually dimorphic species are known for their flashy males in all shades of red, yellow and blue. Females tend to be drab brown. After mating, the male leaves for yet another female. The female takes on the role of single mother.
But not all males are gaudy philanderers. The males of some species stay with one female throughout the mating season and take on parenting roles as well. The males and females of such species usually sport uniform blue and black plumage.
The males of many species are noted for their showmanship. They display in a common arena known as a lek, where they compete for females. Some dance in trees. Others stage their shows on the forest floor, creating 'spotlights' of sunshine by clearing away parts of overhanging foliage. Their dance routine may involve strutting stiffly or freezing and spinning in turn. Eye-catching head or tail wires and elongated plumes are variously manipulated during display.
The plumes of these birds were once so highly regarded, they were incorporated into the ceremonial dress of royalty. Hunters who collected the birds prepared the skins to emphasise the beauty of the feathers. The wings and legs were regularly removed in the process.
When quizzed about how the birds perched or flew without any limbs, Moluccan traders who had never seen the birds in life responded that they were bolong diuata, the birds of the gods.
And so the legend began that the birds floated high in the sky, feeding on dew and only dropped to the surface of earth in death. Female birds were believed to incubate their eggs in the backs of the males. Their ethereal image persisted in the minds of the public and up till the 17th century, some European artists were still painting pictures of Eden with birds sailing wingless and limbless in the skies of paradise.
The lesser and the twelve-wired birds of paradise are two other species we've bred. The twelve-wired had never been bred under human care before. In recognition of our achievement, we were bestowed the First Breeders Award by the American Pheasant & Waterfowl Society.

Want to manage more clients in less time? With automated billing processes, you can focus on growing your business.
You've hit the jackpot. You finally achieved a sizeable roster of clients for your small business. But with that success comes stress too. As your business grows, so does the burden of financial and administrative tasks. You have more client projects to track, more invoices and bills to take care of and less time to get it all done.
You know you need to make your billing processes more efficient. Step one of getting that done is to set up an easy-to-use billing tool that lets you stay in control of your invoicing, no matter how big your customer base gets. Your tools should support your business as you scale.
Here are seven ways your billing software can simplify your billing processes, so you can get back to growing a successful business.
1. Lower Costs with Unlimited Invoicing
Some accounting solutions charge you every time you process paperwork for a client. Maybe they put a cap on how many invoices you can process before you're charged an additional fee. But you don't need the added stress of wondering how much work you can bring in before you're paying out hidden fees. Your billing software should accommodate growth, not put limitations on it. Unlimited invoicing lets you grow without worrying about constraints.
Finding a solution that allows you to send out unlimited custom invoices means:
- No additional fees or per-client charges
- No delays on sending out the extra invoices you have to send—stat
- No time thinking about how many more invoices you can send before needing to pay more
You'll save money and valuable time. After all, your billing software should take care of your growing business without adding another item to your to-do list!
2. Save Time and Get Paid Faster with Recurring Online Billing
Your team shouldn't be bogged down by your billing cycle—especially if you have customers who need to be billed regularly. Having to set up and send out the same invoice time and time again eats up valuable time that could be used more productively. You should be able to focus on serving your current clients well and impressing potential new ones. Recurring billing put this process on autopilot, so you don't need to spend extra hours trying to get paid for your work.
Billing software should allow you to:
- Regularly send out scheduled invoices
- Review all invoices before they go out
- Lock clients into a simple, easy-to-manage payment routine that gets you paid
- Build trust with clients by serving them a familiar, consistent process
- Set up high-volume, recurring billing at a flat rate
- Give your customers options with online credit card transactions
Your clients should have a reliable system that enables them to pay quickly and easily. That way, your only concern is how to bring new business in. No more worrying about whether the payments that should already be made are on their way.
3. Stay on Top of Late Payments with Automatic Reminders
Tracking down late payments is a huge financial and emotional burden. And it only gets more difficult as you take on more clients. You can't risk not receiving payment, but you also want to make sure that you have the best possible relationship with your clients. Step one for ensuring you get paid on time is good communication and clear late fees. But what happens when late fees and gentle nudges just aren't enough?
Nothing saves time like automating a process. Automated late payment reminders are a professional, no-nonsense way to motivate your clients when they haven't paid. On the off chance they've just forgotten, it's a helpful reminder that means you both get to avoid a potentially uncomfortable conversation and awkward conversation. A reminder is a great opener and a gentle way to start a conversation when you do have to chase down any remaining payments:
"Hey, just want to make sure you got your reminder! Is the system working for you?"
When you've sent a fabulous invoice and set up a reliable payment system, you deserve to have the follow up be taken care of for you. Late payment reminders do just that.
4. Pay Taxes with Automatic Tax Calculations
You're running a business, but you're not a tax aficionado. There's no reason your accounting solution shouldn't be your in-house expert and help you with tax preparations. Using a solution that simplifies and automates tax on your invoices will make sure you don't miscalculate tax—or, even worse, miss it altogether. Look for a solution that allows you to set up different taxes at different rates, especially if you're operating across several tax jurisdictions. If you're growing, you're probably not going to want your billing to be limited to a single country.
5. Get Paid in Any Currency with Multi-Currency Billing
As you pick up clients across the globe, being able to create estimates and process transactions in any currency shouldn't slow you down. Modifying your default currency to a new one on invoices should take seconds. And, of course, if you're processing a large number of bills in international currencies, you also want to make sure your solution provider gives you a flat rate or low transaction fees.
Before you take over the world, you need to make sure:
- Change to any currency in seconds
- Process large numbers of international bills at a time
- Guarantee flat rates or low transaction fees
6. Give Customers Options with Online Payment
In a world where online transactions are mainstream and everyone expects to be able to pay by credit card, your business should not be the exception. Accepting online credit card payments is easier for everyone: Both for you and for your customers. It's a win-win! With online payments, you're making it more convenient for your customers to pay immediately and to set up recurring payments. That means no more chasing payments. Your money will be deposited straight into your account on scheduled dates, so your cash flow will be smoother. When you're considering a solution, check the processing fees you'll be paying, make sure that all major credit cards are accepted and ask about security on payments.
7. Stay on Top of Billing with Regular Reports
Once you've set up your billing software to take care of the day-to-day, you can get back to taking care of the big picture. Your software should generate useful reports so that you can move forward by making informed decisions. Your reports should hit the sweet spot between too complex (and overwhelming) and too simple (and useless). Your reports should be customizable, letting you pull information for any given period, client or project. If you're tracking time against individual projects, you should also be able to use time tracking reports to help you cross-reference your income against how many hours were spent to help you assess project profitability.
Any good solution should have reports that answer the following questions:
- How much have you billed?
- How much is outstanding?
- How much have you spent on payment fees?
- How much have you collected in sales taxes?
These simple reports will give you the information you need to continue revising and reshaping your processes for the best possible results.

A few quick things about me. I may, or may not, get around to filling this out a little more some day. So what's this blog all about? Basically for my own learning purposes of hosting my own website and the things that go along with that. Although I do hope that eventually some of the future posts I make will help others out. There are a few things I have tried to do sometimes successfully and sometimes not so much and I hope to make those things a little easier for others. There are a few things I have tried to do that I had a very hard time finding help guides, or tutorials on.
Here's a little about me. I currently work full time as a paramedic in a small town in South Dakota. I also work a 2nd full time job as a paramedic in another small town in North Dakota. I'm originally from South Dakota and that is where I still live. I got my paramedic license in February 2012, but have been in EMS since June 2007. In my off time I like to learn new things in regards to technology and software and other things like that and that is where my homelab comes into play and is a hobby of mine. I'm also a pretty big gamer, but I don't game nearly as much as I used to.
I think that is a good enough about me. Maybe I'll get around to updating this more some day.
