I really liked this story. You are good at writing from Ryohei's POV, and you portrayed Hibari brilliantly. I love the way that their relationship is exactly how it would be if they went out. The only things I would change are: ~

That's all. Well done!

How very cute. I love the slice-of-life writing style. The whole thing was so very believable. I also love how Ryohei randomly calls things extreme. You're good at writing him... xD
This pairing needs more well-written fanfics such as this one. You are commendable.
| Hawk-sama chapter 1 . 11/30/2010
HAHA, I LOVED THIS. It's so hard to write Hibari, especially in a relationship, but u managed it so well. The start is very Ryohei-like, taking into account he's an extremely insistent person.
The narrative, and their interaction was so awesome, and IC if u ask me. But the final line took the price, I swear! Very good job, this is my OTP and being the few material of them (finding good material is even worse) I was so pleased to read this superb fanfic 3
Thanks a lot, faving it

Summary of Greek Cruise
Sail Date: October 04, 2014
Reviewed: 2 years ago
Traveled As: Couple
Room Type: Suite
With the exception the Cagney's steak special dining facility, the other special dining food was definitely not worth attending. Cagney's on the other hand was top rated.
The weather wasn't the greatest for the first two days, 1st day at sea was cold and overcast and the second day stop at Corfu rained very very hard all day with water 2" deep rolling down the small streets.
Santorini did have one highlight which was the antiquity dig which was done by an extremely well trained guide and to see a 3000-4000 BC dig with underground sewage was incredible.
The other two stops were ok with Olympia being done by an extremely well trained archeologist with 26 years of experience.
The day at sea returning had good weather and was the best day of the cruise.
While I'm glad I saw it and the ship and crew were good....I see no reason to ever return.

Skip to comments.Israel's Junta IDF Overrules Barak in Sansana
Posted on 02/24/2012 5:47:21 AM PST by Eleutheria5
The IDF Civil Administration on Thursday took the unprecedented step of rejecting a government plan to normalize the status of the Sansana community in the South Hebron Hills.
In Israel, as in other democracies, military officials are beholden to policy decisions made by civilian officials and are expected to implement their directives in good faith.
The Civil Administration decision that "there is no justification for a new settlement, as [new homes] can be constructed within an existing settlement" comes 12 years after Sansana was established.
In 1997 a Nahal outpost was established at Sansana, but the first homes were not built until 1999. In 2000, the first families moved to Sansana, which currently has 60 families.
In 2009 Defense Minister Ehud Barak approved a plan to for 440 housing units at the Sansana site, including retroactively approving some that already existed.
However, to avoid violating a promise to Washington not to build "new settlements" the plan was presented as "an extension of nearby Eshkolot."
Now, three years after Barak approved the plan, officials in the Civil Administration are overruling their boss, who represents Israel's civilian authority.
Civil Administration planning committee chairman Shlomo Moskowitz wrote "There is no need to 'expand' Eshkolot," arguing there was "plenty of room" for new housing within the communities existing boundaries.
He noted Eshkalot is slated for 347 housing units, of which only 70 have been built. He also argued that Sansana is 7km from Eshkolot and that there was "no justification" not to build in Eshkolot itself.
Most shockingly, he wrote that the IDF Civil Administration planning committee is the only body that can approve building plans in Judea and Samaria, and "does not take dictates from the government."
(Excerpt) Read more at israelnationalnews.com ...
Your take is as unclear as the story itself. How is a Civilian board indicative of the military? From what I can understand of the article, the board said authority for a new section of housing was unnecessary since new housing could be built in the existing area.
The headline and the article use the word junta which usually only refers to a board or committee ( when military is added then we connote things like Banana republics)
The word junta is used in the piece as a value judgement by the 'journalist' to indicate that they personally don't like the action they are 'reporting' on.
Civil Administration IS military; they are an office in the IDF that administers the "territories". And they've just refused to obey the dictates of the Ministry of Defense, which is civilian.
"The IDF Civil Administration on Thursday took the unprecedented step of rejecting a government plan..."
There. Did you read the opening line of the article THIS time? Military does not overrule civilian government. Not in the US. Not in the UK. Not in Israel, either, or any other democracy. That's more than a "value judgment." It's basic.
Thanks for the clarification...I am easily confused by bureaucratic titles....
I think it's meant to be confusing.
It does if that is where the legal responsibility for zoning decisions is vested.
But it's not. Ministry of Defense tells the IDF to jump, they can only ask "how high".

Sunday brunch always calls for mimosas, right? When my mom makes traditional mimosas for the fam, I make these. I actually have had some prefer this over the traditional mimosas, and go alcohol-free without even realizing it. They do taste like they have alcohol in them, so just know that by making these you are by no means compromising flavor. This drink is the perfect alternative to alcohol at your next special occasion, you need to try it! Feel free to use kombucha that you make yourself, or any type that you enjoy. For this recipe, I chose strawberry, but choose any flavor that you prefer best!
- 1 cup Synergy strawberry synthesis kombucha
- 4 fresh strawberries, sliced
- ⅓ cup fresh orange juice
- ⅓ cup water (or more oj or kombucha)
- ¼ cup fresh basil leaves
- Sweetener to taste, if needed
- Muddle the basil a bit at the bottom of a jar/glass with a touch of water to release it's flavors.
- Pour in the rest of the ingredients and mix.
- Chill at least 15 minutes before serving to cool the temperature and infuse the flavors.

US STOCKS-Tech buoys Wall Street, but energy still weighs
* Chipmaker shares at highest since mid-2001
* HP rises after results, Deere falls
* U.S. markets closed Thursday for Thanksgiving holiday
* Dow flat, S&P up 0.16 pct, Nasdaq up 0.47 pct (Updates prices, changes comment, byline)
By Rodrigo Campos
NEW YORK, Nov 26 (Reuters) - U.S. stocks edged up on Wednesday, boosted by tech shares, while the energy sector was once more the largest weight on the market as crude prices continued to flirt with multi-year lows.
Hewlett-Packard, Apple and chipmakers were among the largest advancers, with the PHLX semiconductor index at its highest since mid-2001. Apple gained 0.8 percent while the SOX was last up 1.8 percent.
Trading was relatively light, with some market participants already out for the Thanksgiving holiday. The stock market will be closed on Thursday, while Friday will be a half-day session.
U.S. consumer spending rose modestly in October and a measure of business spending plans fell for a second straight month, but consumer confidence was near a 7-1/2-year high suggesting the economy remains resilient in the face of faltering global demand. Continuación...

Meggan's Night Routine:
Step 1: I remove my makeup with this Clinique cleansing balm. It literally melts your makeup off, I can't live without it. I also just got this one by IT Cosmetics and can't wait to try - it has pretty amazing reviews!
this treatment. Put a tiny bit on a cotton pad and cleanse in circles all over your face. I've been using it for a couple months now and I can definitely tell a difference.
Korres 'Golden Krocus Ageless Saffron Serum' (wow that's a mouthful!) and Tula's 'Illuminating Serum'. I didn't start using a serum (say serum again) until last year and had no idea how much I was missing out on! It helps even your skin tone, diminishes fine lines + dark spots, and works against aging. The Korres is pricey but a little goes a long way!
this one for quite some time and really like it. But also have this one and this one in my medicine cabinet that I use from time to time. I'm kind of a hoarder when it comes to skin products!
this overnight cream during fashion week and have been obsessed since. It feels like my skin is drinking water (if that makes sense? lol) and makes it sooooo hydrated. This is definitely a can't live without product. You can get 25% off with code SLNIGHT25! The code is valid until 10/31 - don't miss out ;)
Meggan's Morning Routine:
All I do in the morning is wash my face, use the pore minimizer, and hydrate with either this cream from Tula or this one by Perricone MD.
Brooke's Night Routine:
Simple remover wipes. I love these wipes, they are cheap and great for sensitive skin!
Step 2: If you struggle with hormonal acne, this face wash is your new best friend! I discovered it recently and I swear it works miracles (along with the pads in step 3)! Since this is drying, I only use it at night. I use my Clarisonic a few times/week (2-3), at night with this face wash.
these anti-acne pads (I also have used and love these). After the acne pads, I use a serum (I use a serum every night) - I love this one, this one, and this one together with this micro roller (collagen boosting!).
this overnight treatment last night for the first time, and I woke up with hydrated skin this morning. I was seriously shocked at how well it worked...shocked! I also love this moisturizer (helps reduce redness) and this one - I alternate between these two normally, but think I'll be sticking with the overnight treatment during fall & winter. It's pricey, but it's a big jar & most importantly it works! I use this eye cream & this or this for my lips (obsessed with both, but can't live without the Rosebud)!
Brooke's Morning Routine:
My morning routine is much simpler than my nighttime routine. I wash my face using this cleanser or this one (we keep this in the shower), and moisturize using this moisturizer from SkinCeuticals (one of our favorite skincare lines), or the Tula Day & Night Cream.
This is one of the best masks for hormonal acne.
This is so great for dry or irritated skin.
This one and this one are great for clarifying and exfoliating skin.
Our favorite eye patches:
This one is hydrating and energizing.
This one is the best for getting rid of tired eyes!
This one is great for firming and smoothing.

FSA Introduces British Bankers' New Remuneration Code
RTTNews - Wednesday, UK's Financial Services Authority unveiled a new remuneration code that demand large banks, building societies and broker dealers to follow remuneration policies consistent with effective risk management.
The new code tries to ensure that the boards focus closely to see that firms distribute total amount consistent with the good risk management and sustainability. It also intend to ensure that individual compensation practices provide the right incentives. The code makes it clear that firms are not expected to enter into contracts with individuals which provide guaranteed bonuses for more than one year, the FSA said.
Firms are expected to give the FSA with a remuneration policy statement by the end of October. This will have to be signed off by remuneration committees and will assist the FSA in checking its compliance.
Hector Sants, FSA chief executive said, The FSA is determined that banks' remuneration policies should be consistent with, and promote, effective risk management. The new rules and code of practice, which will take effect from January, next year, are aimed at achieving this.

Why You Can't Network Your Way Into Investment Banking – and What to Do About It
I got to thinking about this very question the other day…
(For more free training and financial modeling videos, subscribe to our YouTube channel.)
I looked through my inbox recently and realized something:
- 5% of my emails fell into the "What should I do with my life?" category.
- 4% were related to GPA rounding.
- 1% had to do with models and bottles and/or prestige. It's ok, I just ignore these.
So what about the remaining 90%?
How to call people, how to send emails, when to call/email, what questions to ask, how to follow-up, how to find the names, how to set up in-person meetings, how to rock your information sessions, and how to "make the ask."
I looked through my networking-related emails and went through my interviews with readers who successfully broke in, all to answer 2 key questions:
- Why can't you network your way into investment banking?
- What should you do about it?
I realized there are only 2 reasons why you can't network your way into finance:
- You're not persistent enough.
- You're doing it the wrong way.
Sylvester Stallone went through FIFTEEN HUNDRED rejections before landing his first job as a minor thug in a B-movie.
And then it took him years more to get the first Rocky movie made.
Oh, and he had to sell his dog to get it done.
I can inspire you with stories like these, but we're not all like Sylvester Stallone.
The real world is not like The Matrix, and I can't just hop out of the computer screen, give you a red pill, and then jump into your body to place all the calls and send all the emails for you.
So you'll have to do some of the work on your own.
Doing It the Wrong Way
But the good news is that I can tell you exactly what you're doing wrong with your networking efforts – and how to fix it.
The Top 4 Networking Mistakes You're Making
- Trying Too Hard to Impress
- Overlooking Names & Contact Information
- Using the Wrong Channel(s)
- Not Asking for What You Want!
Trying Too Hard to Impress
You might be tempted to bring up your 4.0 GPA, your tough classes, or the shelves of awards you have when you're speaking with recruiters.
Or maybe you'll talk about your personal portfolio and how you earned a 95% return in 1 year while the rest of the market plunged 50%.
These are both great ideas – if you want to fall flat on your face.
You're not going to "impress" bankers unless you're a CEO with 20+ years of experience and you've taken 3 companies public for $10 billion total. And even then, would you walk into a party and introduce yourself by saying that?
Your best bet is to talk about what makes you interesting rather than what makes you impressive.
Your study abroad trip to China… how you learned guitar in Spain… your wine collection… your recent ski trip.
Bankers are surrounded by talk of the market, business, and "prestige" all day – so the last thing they want to hear is more of the same.
The more "normal" your conversations are, the more effective you'll be.
Overlooking Names & Contact Information
The two most common ways to find names and contact information are going through alumni and through friends/family.
And these methods work – IF you happen to go to a "target school," or your father is President of JP Morgan Asia.
The other downfall is that everyone knows about these methods – which means that they can actually be less effective even if you go to a top school.
You need to act more like a ninja and start going to other schools' career fairs, talking to your professors (at all levels), going through online resources like Capital IQ / Factset that most students don't have access to, and showing up at organizations' meetings even if you're NOT a member.
When I spoke with readers who networked into banking, even the most successful ones all had one comment in common:
"I wish I spread my net wider! I totally forgot about [Alumni from Undergraduate/Summer Program] / [Finance Professors] / [People at my Church/Mosque/Synagogue…] / [Insert More Sources Here]"
Using the Wrong Channel(s)
When you first start contacting bankers, you'll be tempted to email them or do everything online via social networks like LinkedIn.
It's "comfortable" – and also ineffective.
You can't make a good "first impression" via email – the other person needs to hear your voice or meet you in-person.
So the phone trumps email – and in-person meetings trump the phone by about 100x.
Email and the phone do have their place in networking: you can't go from not knowing someone at all to suddenly showing up at their office.
But every time you email or call someone, ask yourself the following:
"Will this lead to an in-person meeting? Am I doing this to be productive, or am I doing it to be active?"
If you use the wrong channels, you'll be very active but you won't be very productive – and you won't get results.
Not Asking for What You Want!
There's this myth that you have to go through a mating ritual before you actually request anything – whether it's getting more referrals, asking for advice, or asking for an interview.
You need to meet with someone in-person 5 times, follow-up twice each week, and send monthly updates before you even think about "making the ask," right?
Here's all you need to do:
- Make a great first impression in your first call or in-person meeting.
- Follow-up and ask for what you want.
If you're networking well in-advance of recruiting season, sure, follow-up every few months so they remember who you are…
But if it's close to recruiting season just follow-up and make your request:
"Thanks for speaking with me last week. With recruiting season approaching, I just wanted to follow-up and ask how I could best position myself for an interview with your firm."
Don't overestimate the competition – 90% of prospective bankers never even network in the first place, and of the 10% that actually do some networking, 90% are afraid to be assertive and actually ask for what they want.
Common Sense?
I thought these strategies were common sense because this is what I always do when meeting new people.
But my inbox told me otherwise: I kept getting the same networking questions over and over again.
The Solution?
Back when I released Breaking Into Wall Street, I created sample cold-calls, informational interviews, and email templates to help you network effectively.
I came up this idea at 3 AM one night a week before the launch, and expected it to remain a bonus item available to early customers – The Investment Banking Networking Toolkit.
But then two things happened:
- My volume of networking-related email increased – and I kept getting requests to sign up for this bonus package.
- Early customers had great success using the strategies in this program to win offers – even from backgrounds that are supposedly hard to break in from, like a recent immigrant and a student who had already graduated without having had any internships.
Solution, Part 2
I decided to expand the toolkit and add even more scripts, email templates, and tutorials for finding names and conducting informational interviews and cold-calls.
Oh, and a few other things too:
- Contact information for 10,000 banks, private equity firms, and hedge funds organized by region.
- Video tutorials and email templates/walkthroughs for information sessions, weekend trips, and co-worker networking… and a quiz so you can test your knowledge with dozens of questions on all these topics.
Coming Up Next
I'm going to share more of these strategies, give you a simple 5-step process you can use to plan all your networking efforts, and show you how to become a Networking Ninja so that you can win interviews and land offers.

Hi Brian,
I am an Indian Chartered Accountant. I have internship experience in a boutique investment bank.I have a contact at HSBC Global Banking and Markets (i.e.,its Investment Banking division) who is an associate in the London office. I have a question :
1) Is it possible to get an interview chance with the help of this contact given the fact that I am from India and want to work in their London office ?
2)If I get an interview call, how much of a help would this contact be in securing an offer considering the fact that HSBC is not a top tier investment bank ?
Hey Brian,
How do I get into my interests during info interviews? Because usually they call and I give them a short background of myself (Major, experience, hometown, etc.) and they ask me how I they could help me and I Just ask about their experiences etc. I was wondering when I could begin to talk about my personal interests within the convo. Seems kinda weird that I just mention that I like basketball (for example) out of nowhere.
Thanks for writing this informative article. I got in touch with an MD at a bank I want to work for and I am not sure how direct I should be with him. Can I just say "Could you please forward my resume to HR?" I am afraid that if I say "How can I best position myself to get an internship" he won't know that I want him to forward my resume. What would you recommend?
Thank you.
Hey Brian,
I'm currently in a huge dilemma and I was wondering if you could give me some guidance. I should be starting my sophomore Fall semester at Cornell University by now but I had to take a leave of absence because my tuition basically doubled. Coming from a relatively low-income household with only one dependable parent, it would be virtually impossible for me to continue my education there without taking massive loans and working a bunch of jobs (which would probably bring down my already low GPA of 3.25). Being that Cornell is a target school that has great partnerships with bulge bracket banks, would it be worth it financially to take the loans in hopes of landing an internship as an analyst? I've had family members in the finance world continuously encourage me to leave Cornell and go to a state school on the grounds that a degree from any Ivy is worth the same as any other Bachelor's degree once you've got an interview. It feels like a big risk to put myself in so much debt without the guarantee of a job.
Hi Brian,
I don't know if you'll read this but I had a question. I'm not from a target school, in fact I'm from a pretty average school; duller than dull. I did take supplemental non-credit courses at 2 Ivies during my summers and have that listed on my LinkedIn. Would networking/contacting folks on LinkedIn who aren't in my alma matter to begin with (those 2 Ivy schools) be a bad thing?
One one hand I did learn from those institutions and on the other hand, even though it's my only outlet for salvation in terms of worthy connections; I don't know if they'll respond to me as they would with a regular grad from those ivy schools
Just had a question regarding outfits for informational/coffee meetings. They've usually fallen on weekdays and as you suggest, I go with business formal. However, next week, I have a meeting scheduled at night (over beer) and another one during the weekend. Should I still go with business formal or would I have to go closer to business casual for these meetings?
Thank you
Hi Brian,
What's your opinion on how to handle HR when they reach out to you confirming they were given your resume by an employee of the bank? Is it worth it following up with the HR contact?
H? Br?an,
I found out some good contacts but they are mostly work?ng ?n ECM wh?le I'm ?nterested ?n IB. How can I sp?n these contacts? Can I just ?ntroduce myself and ask ?f they can get me some referrals ?n the IB group of the?r bank?
Hi there,
This's been an amazing post. I am a junior looking for opportunities in investment banking. I have a question that I would love to have some advice. I emailed a couple alumni of my school working in investment bank; one is a CEO and the other is an MD. I go to a non-target school so I don't think they get phone calls daily about internships. I kept my email super short, just wanted a call to learn from their experiences. Yet I got no replies. It's been a week now. When should I send them another email? What should I include this time, since the last ones were ignored given how simple they were. Thank you!
Ok, so this is gonna be a long one…
I've been out of college for a year now and have been working as a financial analyst for the City of LA (Contractor/Consultant) since graduation (I got the consultant position due to nepotism) but the problem is that I really want to break into investment banking (M&A). It seems like I'm going to have a rough time breaking in let alone getting interviews, so could any of you give me some solid advice on what I should do? Let me give you a basic run down of my profile, both negatives and positives:
First with the bad:
– Non-target school (UC system)
– 4 year GPA 3.3, Major GPA 3.7
– Non-relevant work experience (Sure I work as an FA for the city with 1 year of exp, but it's not investment banking)
– No investment banking internships
– Already graduated
Now with the good:
– Economics undergraduate
– Studied abroad in Italy
– Volunteer in local political campaigns (current)
– Bi-lingual (Italian)
– President/Founder/ of my university Chess Club
– Treasurer for the Fraternity I belong to (Please "Extend The Helping Hand" for any brothers out there!)
I do have some explanations for the bad; the reason why I didn't complete any investment banking internships is because before and during college I wanted to be an economist. I did complete an internship as an economic research assistant working for a small business development center, we focused on providing industry-specific economic research and business expertise for smaller start-up companies both within and outside of the U.S. (Primarily in developing countries outside of the U.S.). Most of the work revolved around gathering relevant economic data within the tech industry for the lead economist for publications and presentations. It wasn't until my last quarter of college that I started getting interested into the world of investment banking, which is why I decided to work as a financial analyst (The closest position I could get in finance was with the city since I have a family member who is a consultant for the city of LA).
As far as my lower GPA is concerned I had to help take care of my sick grandmother, plus work a part-time job to help pay my own bills. Put some pressure on my academics but I made sure to at least keep my major GPA up.
Do any of you have any good advice? I'm currently trying to get out of my current work as a consultant for the city now that I have a year of experience, and I've been interviewing for financial analyst positions with various companies in the private sector.
Should I just wait and try as hard as I can to get into a top MBA program and then try my chances at getting internships during that time, or should I still try to get in as an analyst into middle-market/boutique banks? (Pretty sure BB is out of the question right now)
I've also heard of the New York School of Finance program from you guys that offers a guaranteed Investment Banking Internship for a hefty fee of 7k-14k, not sure if that would be a worthwhile investment at this point.
Would pursuing the CFA help at all? (I've heard it doesn't, but maybe I'm wrong)
Or am I pretty much doomed to never get into investment banking, which makes me feel hopeless about it all. I know for a 100% certainty that this is the career I want to do, I've done research on top of research about the job for the better part of 2 years now.
Any advice would be great guys, thanks!
Hi M&I,
Great Article! Just want to ask, last week I had an interview for a trading position and the guy said there were only research positions available, so the interviewer gave me emails and phone numbers of his buddies in the industries. His buddies I have never met before, so I should email them right instead of calling to ask for an interview? These buddies are head traders, so they are busy even after trading hours. Thank you.
Not sure if this has been asked/answered before, but, do the same rules for cold emailing apply to BB, as there is more structure? You can't cold call since we won't know that unless they respond to our emails.
I understand for smaller firms it might be easier but how does one transition into a BB IBD if we attend a non-target and don't have any alumni to contact? Thanks!
First I want to thank you for having these fantastic IB resource for us. I have just subscribed to the Networking Ninja tool kit and I find it to be very helpful.
I have a few questions I'd like to ask.
I go to NYU(Not stern, but econ major). Is my school a target? although our school is not in ivyleague, at career center, every BBs and PEs recruit at our school, except Morgan Stanley.
I'm a junior, I have a GPA of low 3s and I have two internship experiences in a foreign country. One IB(not BB or American) and one PE(Third largest in my country in terms of AUM but not American).I don't hold US passport by the way. Do you think there is a chance that I could get myself a BB SA internship position? or are the chances to slim and so I should be targeting regional boutiques and look to move to BB after my career starts?
What are my 'target' companies? BB? sub-BB (Barclays, Nomura, UBS, BNP, RBS) or Boutiques.
3. Apart from Networking extensively and improving my grade, what else should I be doing to improve my chances to break into Wall st?
4. After the interview deadline which I believe is late December, are there still opportunities for internships after December?
If there are, does this only count for boutiques or does this include BBs and sub-BBs.
5. I know I'm not a strong candidate but I have to play the cards dealt to me. If you were in my position, what career path would you persue? (Eventually I want to become a partner at BB, PE, HF). Short-term and long-term ?
I thank you in advance for your advice and help and I really look foward to hear from you.
As desperate as I am, I'd love to have you answer all questions from 1 – 5.
It is ineed an amazing job you guys and M&I are doing and I really do appreciate your work.
Hi, I want to break into investment banking and I am requesting advice about my hiring chances?
My situation:
-Age- 34 /American/
-Education: B.S. Audio Engineering/Entertainment Business focus.(10 yrs ago)
-Work experience: Apple Software QA Analyst, Technical Consultant jobs in Tokyo,Japan.
-Fluent Japanese
-Built my personal stock portfolio of $30K in short time.
If I complete IB online courses,resume prep/interview guides, and use some IB people I have met as recommendations; what are my chances of getting an interview/ job offer chances?
I have read and heard that there were people that got in with no finance degree/finance work experience. They just had the passion, and used the knowledge of completed courses to get in.
I am willing to start even at the most entry level job of IB. Are internships only for under/grads students? What are my chances and options?
Thank you.
Thanks for all the information on this site. What do you think about if I just sent a postal resume and cover letter and followed up with an email (that includes my resume) with like 50 different managing directors at each BB?
I am currently a junior at a top tier school (not an Ivy). One of my parents friends, John Smith (for the purpose of this question) who I am rather close with, is head of equity trading at one of the large banks. I have sent John my resume, which he has passed off to HR. HR contacted me that day asking me to fill out a summer analyst application. John has expressed his interest in helping me in anyway possible. My question is how much say do head employees have over the hiring process of interns in their department and should I aggressively follow up with HR?
Hi, I am in the middle of the recruitment process for a graduate position in Trading at HSBC in London. I have a strong track record but no relevant working exp. However, i have a few contacts at HSBC, one of which is a co-head of the department that I am applying to, he's a friend of my dad, but not that close. I sent him several emails to introduce myself, some are very long, some are very short, but I still got no replies. So basically I'm being ignore, but the guy does actually reply to my dad… Should I keep emailing him even though its sort of bothering him … or should I find a way to hunt him down in front of HSBC building and hopefully can talk to him for a few mins?
Hi Brian,
I've started making efforts towards networking – Using sites such as LinkedIn, CapitalIQ etc.
I'm unsure on who exactly I should be looking to contact – New Analysts, Recruiters etc?
What criteria makes someone an ideal contact?
Well I do speak both mandarin and canto alright as it is my second language, english being my first. I cant read or write well. Culture wise I'm fine and I've been there before. I can learn the financials terms if I study but it will be years before I can read and write comparably to my speaking level.
Hi Brian,
I've worked at two products that Ibankers user for deal origination/data analysis, and i've also moved recently into relationship management, so i do have some analytical and client facing skills. I also have a huge list of contacts as they are all listed where i work since i do meet with these MD's, VP's, associates, etc.
The thing is, i'm in NYC. I want to be in HK but i don't have many contacts and the ones i do have, i've already reached out to. My Chinese is limited to speaking on a slightly better than average level.
Should i start leveraging the contact list i have and reach out to these people? If i'm targeting firms, should i start low and work my way up or directly target the higher level MD's/VP's. I've done a lot of searching on IB Analyst jobs in HK and i've applied to all of the ones that don't require mandarin as i can't read or write well.
Thanks in advance.
Hey guys…thanks so much for your great info.
I just graduated from a non-target school (top 50) with a 3.5 in Economics and a minor in Mathematics. I had 2 internships: bulge bracket summer and boutique PE academic-year. I am also fluent in Spanish and Portuguese. I realize competition is stiff and sometimes feel inadequate. Should I even bother trying for bulge brackets or do you recommend focusing on smaller shops? Your advice is sincerely appreciated!
Hi Brian,
What is easier to break into Investment Management ( PWM or Asset Management ) or Investment Banking?
Hi Brian,
I am a student from UC Davis who will finish all classes required in March 2012. Commencement will occur in June 2012.
If I apply this year for a I-banking internship next summer, am I still eligible to apply?
I have no finance internship experience at all.
With your help, I have been able to effectively network and obtain information interviews. Many thanks. However, I'm having a little trouble with the mini-ask; I have no problem asking, but I do not know where to take it. I have asked for referrals from people who are willing to provide the info and follow up in the future, but either they do not know the appropriate people or are unable to for situational reasons.
I understand the eventual goal is the position myself for an interview and land a job. I have asked for opportunities to follow up, referrals for people in closely related divisions (e.g. M&A person for someone in ECM, DCM, recruiters), events, etc, but most have fallen through. Fortunately, I feel that I have at least made a connection with the person.
Referencing your other articles,
– How do I move up the tottempole? Is it appropriate to ask an associate for his/her MD's contact? (Obviously possible from your reading some of the success stories, but not sure how to go about it)
– How do I create a buzz in the office? Is it appropriate to ask someone for the contact of someone else in their team/other teams?
What are some things I can ask for to make progress?
How do I know I am making progress? If I keep asking for referrals from people, I meet more people, which is great and my name difusses across regions of the bank, but is there something that I should be striving for besides having links into the firm? (I don't mean to sound so Machiavellian, but rather result-oriented.)
Thanks again for your time and insights
apologies for the long post – you probably will have to scroll on your bb to read this. maybe not if you have an iphone
I am wondering how important it is for me to network. I will be a junior next year at a target school, economics major, 3.7 GPA and have an internship in finance this summer. Is networking pretty much just to get the initial interview, or could it help you all the way through? I am wondering if it is really worth spending a bunch of time networking, or if I should focus my time on learning more about the principles of finance and accounting?
Ok…so I have a question..when cold calling who are most likely to help a candidate more…the analysts,associates or the VP,MD's etc.
Have you met anyone who has a networking story in Singapore? I'm a little skeptical about whether some of the networking tactics will work here, given how aggressive they are (but in all fairness, I have not tried to put them to use as yet). Any insight if things should be done differently in Singapore, or it remains largely the same?
So I just found out that I didn't get a potential summer consulting internship at Deloitte. I just finished my first year, going onto my second. Am I ruined? I'm trying to get a head start on competition come third and fourth year. What do you think I should do???
I have an informational interview over the phone with an executive director of PWM at a BB on Thursday. I'm a sophomore and already have an internship lined up for this summer at another bank. Would it be advisable to hint that I would love to be considered for a position at their bank in the future?
Thanks for this helpful artcle.
In networking for a good internship, how would I contact alumni?
Is it better to find an summer internship my sophmore year going to junior year or my junior year going to my senior year?
Also, How can I network with people who work at the top firms?
Ok so I have managed to set to gain several phone conversations and a few informational interviews, but I always have trouble with what questions to ask to keep conversation flowing, besides that standard:
-Learning more about their background.
-Recruitment process.
-Advice and Tips.
What questions should I be asking?
By the way, is "Brown University" considered a target school?
Hi Brian,
Is it acceptable to ask for meeting in-person when I contact a banker for the first time (alumni or referral rather than strangers)? It seems that the most effective way generally would be meet in-person and follow up with request immediately. because a connection of taking on the phone once doesn't sound strong enough, maybe needs more follow up and longer relation maintenance. What do you think :)
You guys must know how much of this applies to the non-finance world. Such a great site. You know how many lawyers and PhDs there are simply because they didn't have a site like this to consult before making the leap? Kudos.
Second – Rahm Emanuel, not a typical IB background, but that was where he made his money. Do you chalk that up to an outlier or textbook networking success? I can imagine what the obvious answers may be, leveraging a position in campaign finance for Bill Clinton and the connections, but he doesn't have a related education and his experience doesn't necessarily automatically translate into IB success and he seems to have started at the top. Is there anything to his story that mere mortals could apply to successfully breaking in?
Hi Brian,
I am currently a junior at a Top 5 school interested in securing an i-banking internship next summer. However I am currently studying abroad in China and as a result am not on campus for all the recruiting events (most of the BBs recruit pretty heavily at my school and almost all hold info sessions for internships at some point in the fall). I am pretty concerned about how this will affect me since I am not there to network, and consequently could be overlooked for interviews since I am not meeting face-to-face with the recruiters.
What would you suggest I do? Should I try cold-emailing the recruiters explaining my situation? If so, how would I even go about finding out which recruiters come to my school? Also, if I were to email, what exactly should I say (I don't want my email to be regarded as annoying or "empty") and should I attach a resume to the email? Any advice would be much appreciated! :)
this may be a stupid question, but when you meet for a informative interview, do you dress business casual or do you put on a suit?
Hi M&I,
I think I may have screwed up a networking attempt. I am a sophomore looking for a S&T internship and I contacted a top MD at a BB in S&T.
I started the conversation by thanking him and asking him what things I can be doing as a sophomore to better prepare myself for recruiting. He gave me a bunch of pointers, and we also talked about some interesting books he recommended along with some books I read over the summer.
Do you think it was a bad move for me to ask him for advice, without asking about his background and interests? The conversation was definitely not focused on him. I also never made a mini-ask, but he did say that I should keep in contact.
Anything I can do to remedy the situation? Do you think I should try to schedule another phone interview after 3 weeks and focus some questions on him?
I wish I read your article prior to doing this.
Hi Brian,
I'd want to ask your opinion on this. A contact agreed to forward my resume 10 days ago, but I haven't heard back from her or HR. So just sent a follow-up email and got an out-of-office reply that she is on vacation 'till the third week of September (why now???) and will have limited access to the internet. This is pretty bad b/c selections are made this month for interviews next month. I just remember that I know one director in another group (though not as close), should I ask him to forward mine as well? If yes, besides the usual content of the request email do I need to mention that someone else has already passed it along? (I have no idea whether she actually passed it along or not). What should I do in this case?
Thank you!
Lots of people I had informational interviews with told me to email them questions about anything anytime. But I got no reply when I emailed them questions (first & second email, still nothing). Is that just a courtesy for them to say so or what? My friend in IBD said people receive hundreds of emails per day, so they're really inundated. But those are the ones that I'd want to ask to pass along my resume, so have to stay on their radar. If this keeps happening, should I assume they're not interested in helping out?
Not everyone is open to networking and sharing contact information with others. How can I rank people based on how likely they are to share networking information?
Hi Brian,
As usual a very informative article on networking. Will the same techniques work when you want to transition from a regional boutique into a bulge bracket bank? I currently work in the M&A division of an Indian boutique and want to break into the wall-street firms out here. But since wall street firms have smaller teams in India (under 30), breaking into them is slightly difficult. Techniques like offering to intern for free isn't an option for me either. What would be the perfect strategy in such cases?
Hi Brian,
Persistent is definitely the key! I graduated in June and have been doing networking since Aug. I was really starting to doubt all my efforts and have confidence in networking less and less. However, I still kept doing networking everyday, sending cold-emails to alumnus to ask for information interviews. Three days ago, I sent a email to one alumni, and he replied within 5 mins and asked for my resume because they are reviewing applications for first year analyst currently. I got called for interviewed yesterday. So yea, it is really just about persistency. For those ppl out there still hoping to break into finance, keep doing networking with the right way, and you will get what you want.
Hi Brian, thanks for another interesting and sophiticating article.
Now it is my time to come up with a couple of questions:
I'm a German student currently in Brazil on a year abroad and I will return to Germany in June/July of 2010. I'm looking to make an internship at an IB in Frankfurt after I have returned (mainly boutiques as I am lacking the network in BBs), but as I am quite distant from Frankfurt at the moment, it seems not possible for me to attend any kind of interview. How common is intern recruiting just based on phone interviews? (I k now, NY and FF are probably different in this, but just a general approach)
Other question: I'd like to make an internship here in Brazil in development banking, seems like a project finance branche is superior to any other DB branche conerning breaking into I-banking later on.
Thanks for your answers.
Is there a way for me to purchase just The Networking Ninja Toolkit? Is it possible to purchase any of the modules separately?
Thanks !
Great post. 90% of getting into IB is networking, so im not surprised thats what all your emails are about. and to stress it further, many of us here are college students, new to the industry, etc, and we have little experience with the most important part of getting a job in IB, i.e. looking good..i mean networking. We dont have a developed set of contacts, each person we meet is a new contact and its difficult to juggle x, y, and z while making networking a top priority. I find I actually have to write down lots of information about all my contacts, so I can flip through, remember everything I need to know and when I should contact them next and why. Organization is key too, its not all about quantity (assuming quality).
Thanks for keeping up the good work with the site. I recently asked you a few questions about internships I was interested, what I should focus on, what is worth my time, and sure enough, I landed a HOT job for this year that will help me break into the industry. im still underclassman in undergrad, but working my way up fast! Im gaining the experience and have a strong resume, so now networking is KEY! Literally all that I need to focus on if I want a job in IB. You have helped me out so much, thanks again.
Hi Brian,
I am interested in interview with one boutique (A) firm that I found in my school's recruiter database. However, I checked my alumni contact list and realized that only alumni, which was the MD for that boutique's IBD, had left for another boutique (B) recently. Do you think I can still target this firm (A)? If so, what would be the best way to do it? Should I just cold call some bankers in this boutique (A) and introduce myself?
I've made many of the networking mistakes that you discussed in the video. I managed to talk to a few alums through the phone. I asked questions regarding their background, how to break in, etc. Only 2 of the alums I talked to have offered to help. What can I do to get back in the game? I don't want to lose that connection I've made with the alums. Do I ask them more questions?
Thanks for all your hard work on this site.
The sample question you mentioned in the video regarding GPA is exactly my situation. I have around a 3.44, can I round that up to a 3.5? Thanks.
Nope you are doomed. You will never make it into IB with that GPA. EVER.
I've successfully used your pointers to network my way into receiving an IB job offer and want to thank you for it. Of course, the tutorials on Breakingintowallstreet was a contributing factor!
Here is where I need your advice again-
The new offer is in a less developed Asian country but the opportunity will definitely guarantee exposure to the biggest m&a deals in this country, with a good regional brand name. But this means leaving my current role in a boutique IB in a more developed country but poor deal flow and a heavier focus on IPOs rather than m&as.
Will this be a good career decision in choosing better deal exposure over location? I hear that it is easier to transfer m&a skills cross border relative to IPO work that has more localized regulations/processes. Really appreciate your advice! It is a life changing decision for me.
Hi Brian,
One more nice post, kudos. After our last discussion – I have made it a point to talk/network/cold call on a regular basis – if nothing to improve my communication skills & confidence.
Well – my emails have been so far going good – but I am clearly committing mistake #4 – not asking what I want. In some cases, alumni/contact have themselves initiated, asked and offered for help.
My approach is to ask for informational interview mostly with alumnus and then scheduling a 20-30 min call. Up to the call part is good – but what next?
Secondly, most of the call remains like an informational interview only. Can you suggest how to steer it to be straight to the point.
Thirdly, there is no fixed recruiting season in India – but clearly markets are expected to improve in next 2-3 quarters – how do i maintain conversation for next 6-9 months. Just asking 'How are you doing?' over an email sounds stupid and I might not have an update to communicate to them.
Thanks once again.

text: More than 100 people celebrated the grand opening of the new Leon's store at Henry Street and Wayne Gretzky Parkway in Brantford on Wednesday. Members of the Leon family joined Mayor Chris Friel, Brant MP Phil McColeman, general manager Paul Jordan and several members of the Royal Canadian Legion to open the Canadian retailer's 77th location. To mark the occasion, attendees released 100 biodegradable balloons into the air, each containing a $100 gift certificate for the new store.

We're back in Paris. The flight on Air France was long, but not disagreeable. It was even better in the First Class cabin. Not that we were in it. But we were curious about the people who were.
Usually, on the Air France flight from Washington to Paris, you see a few rich people. You also see some people you wonder about. Typically, there is an African diplomat…or a hack bureaucrat from an international agency. Sometimes you will see a hip-hop star…or a fashion model. Or just someone who lucked into an upgrade.
But on the flight from Beijing, the people traveling in first class were almost all Chinese. We could not tell for sure, but they didn't have that dull, stuffed-shirt look of politicians and aparatchiks. Instead, they looked like real entrepreneurs…real business people…people who probably paid for their tickets themselves.
Here in Paris, the weather is warm. Everywhere you look, people are out at sidewalk cafes. Life is very pleasant in Paris…refined…stylish…
.but where's the excitement? The novelty? The growth? The innovation?
There's something missing… It feels a little old… A little depasse…a little like yesterday's news…a little stale…
.like, soooo 20th century…
The buildings here are old. The money here is old too. In China, everything is new. New buildings. New roads. New money everywhere.
We're always wondering how the world works. How can a nation of 1.3 billion people under control of the Communist Party become the most dynamic, most capitalistic, most success-oriented race in the world? How can they grow their capital wealth at 3 to 10 times the rate of the US – when America is supposed to be the "most flexible and most sophisticated" economy in the world?
You'll remember that Wall Street claimed to be using its derivatives and other math-heavy, fancy-pants products to make the economy safer while speeding up the rate of growth. It claimed to be way ahead of the rest of the world in its ability to raise and allocate capital. To hear the nation's leading economists and Wall Street banks tell the story, allocating capital to its highest, most efficient uses is what makes an economy grow. That's capitalism right? Using capital to make people richer. So, who are the world's best capitalists? Surely the people with the most experience at it, right? And the people who got Nobel Prizes for describing how it works, right? And the people with the most capital…the most skills…the biggest market…and the greatest success record in history, right?
So how is it possible that people who just discovered capitalism 20 years ago could do a better job of it than Harvard grads motivated by million-dollar bonuses? How could a smart guy, with the best financial education that money could buy, with hundreds of years of capitalism behind him, backed by a government that professes to want to help him and flanked by almost unlimited capital, technology, and expertise, fall right on his face? How did so many winners turn into losers?
We'll have some ideas on the subject later in the week.
Back to the markets…
Stocks bounced on Friday. The Dow rose 125 points following a big drop on Thursday. Gold lost ground too – down $12.
US stocks are now down about 3% for the year. The markets are deflating…
Don't expect to find out by reading the market commentary in the mainstream press!
Journalists, commentators and the financial authorities are busily misunderstanding everything. According to the weekend analyses, last week's downturn was a reaction to bad news from Europe. They claim it's all the fault of the dumbo Europeans, who can't get their act together. They created a jacked-up common currency – the euro – but never unified their economic and fiscal policies. So many of the member states got in trouble. And now the others are reluctant to bail them out. And the risk is that either the strong nations drop out of the euro, or the weak nations are kicked out. Either way, the whole thing could collapse in a heap.
Europe has a problem. But at least it's out in the open. Everyone can see what is going on.
But that's not why stocks fell. We don't know why they fell. But we know it wasn't just because investors were nervous about what is going on in Euroland.
The commentators and financial authorities have misunderstood everything…
.from what caused the crisis of '07-'09…
.to what good the bailouts achieved…
.to what is happening in the markets today.
Tim Geithner, for example, is quoted in the weekend press telling the whole world that the 'recovery will continue despite problems in Europe.'
He does not seem to realize that the recovery is not real…and that problems in Europe are really no different from problems in the US…
The problem is too much debt – in Europe, Japan and the US. The bailouts add trillions in new debt. This is not a way to solve the problem. It is a way to make it worse.
There are emerging economies. And there are 'submerging economies,' says our old friend Jim Davidson. The economies of Japan, the US and Europe are sinking under debt. All the slick Wall Street products merely added more debt to the private economy. Now, central banks and central governments are adding more public debt, too.
Markets will react to the fundamental problem – no matter what the pundits and politicos say. They will mark down asset prices in the debt-burdened economies… The Great Correction is at work.
And more thoughts…
An update from the Emerald Isle, from our own Irish gem, Ronan McMahon. Ireland has been leading Europe by pledging deep cuts in the public budget. With a much lower government debt than the US, Ireland could still save itself. So far, the Irish have gone along with the 'austerity' measures with good humor. That may be changing:
"I really hope Ireland can hobble along (re below) but it seems to be looking more and more like a best case scenario. We ran the largest deficit in euro land last year. Tax revenues continue to tank this year. The banks need another 20-30bn, which could bring this year's deficit north of 30% if the cash is dished out this year. The government proudly told us when they started giving Anglo [a major Irish bank] cash that it was 'off book' so it was ok. Now Europe is insisting it's booked the year it's paid. That's why last year's deficit numbers were revised up in March of April.
"We took our first doses of medicine but the mood is changing. There was a mini riot outside the Dail (parliament). The police held the line…ironic given that there have been quite militant murmurings of action from within their representative body. Another dose of medicine is due in the next budget. Another 3bn in cuts needs to be found (although the EU are now looking at our books to see if we need to shave more). This time it won't be so easy to find or to cut.
"NAMA (our bad bank) seems to be insolvent from the get go, and may need to be recapitalized. Not even a single euro of interest is being paid on a huge chunk of the loans it has taken over. Our economy is completely out of whack. Big multinationals are doing well making chips to keep your computer running or stents to keep your heart running or little blue pills to keep other parts running. But, in total they only employ about 100,000 people.
"The public sector is bloated and horrifically expensive.
"Exporters to the UK, or retailers north of a line between Dublin and Galway have been living a nightmare with sterling weakness… Many have just disappeared. For the past 8 years the service sector was pretty much based on us selling houses to each other. Everyone had a ton of money…the bricklayer, the mortgage broker, the solicitor, the realtor, the BMW sales man, the stockbroker… That's all gone.
"The residential real estate tidal wave hasn't hit yet. Banks are ratcheting up interest rates in line with their cost of money. People will start walking away from their homes as they loose their jobs. Emigration is back…
"It's pretty bleak. Hopefully we can hobble until we find the bottom of the rainbow."

Islamabad, Nov 26: Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf will take oath as civilian president on Thursday.
''He will take oath by Thursday after hanging off uniform,'' official sources told the sources, days after the Supreme Court directed the Election Commission to notify victory of Gen Musharraf as returned candidate of the October 6 presidential election.
The court had dismissed all the six petition challenging Gen Musharraf's relection in uniform last week.
He will undertake two-day farewell visits to different military formations from tomorrow.
Meanwhile, an official notification by the Defence Ministry to relieve the president as the Chief of the Army Staff (COAS) was expected either today or tomorrow.
The notification would come into effect when Gen Musharraf takes oath as the president of the country for another term of five years, The News reported.
Gen Musharraf, who assumed the slot of the Army Chief on October 7,1998, would be giving up his position after more than nine years, in favour of General Ashfaq Pervez Kayani who will become the 14th Army Chief.
The COAS is a tenure post of three years. Pakistan Army's first two chiefs were British and they were General Sir Frank Messervy (August 15, 1946 to February 10, 1948) and General Sir Douglas David Gracey (February 11, 1948 to January 16, 1951).
A farewell corps commanders meeting would also be held at the General Headquarters (GHQ), Rawalpindi on Wednesday. The achievements and efforts of Gen Musharraf in the service of the country and the armed forces would be highlighted in the conference.
He is the second Army chief after General Mirza Aslam Beg who had exclusive training of Special Services Group (SSG) as commando and had about one hundred freefall jumps that entitled him to a special colour.

Meet Me, No Meet My Garden Vlog
Here is a photo of my garden the day it was planted, in June. And here is the video of my garden tonight:
My response to vlogging, it wasn't so bad. One thing to majorly work on, breathing and talking. I think I was trying to get through it so fast I sound like I am panting. Lovely. And with that, the creation of the Vlog label is born at EatPlayLove. Eek.

Oh no...it says "error, please try again later." I can't see it:(ReplyDelete
I love it! Great job on your first Vlog! My poor tomato plants are not doing well...but I planted two to each pot. They may need more room.ReplyDelete
And Sunday, I bought 4 more basil plants!
Good job! Very fun. Loved seeing your garden and hearing your voice.ReplyDelete

I love this!! It was so nice to see and hear you :) Your garden looks amazing. -MHReplyDelete
Fantastic. Your garden looks great, i am glad it survived all the hail storms we had, mines got battered by hail and has hardly anything left.ReplyDelete
Love heirloom tomato plants, that's one of the only things we have left and they were so good last year, they are by far our favorite too.
Keep the videos coming
I absolutely LOVE tomatoes out of the garden. Now that I'm home full time, I should really think about getting some pots for a garden (sadly - we don't have yard space in back). Your lovely garden is inspiring.ReplyDelete
I'll watch later when I can turn on the audio (nap time right now). The word vlog grosses me out. hehe.ReplyDelete
I think this is awesome. Even as a lover of words, there is nothing that brings you closer to the real person than pictures and audio.ReplyDelete
I saw it...well done!ReplyDelete
You are simply lovely! And so proud of your garden :) My mother did a garden with the kids this year, and my 3yo absolutely LOVES it.ReplyDelete

12 Mistakes Women Need To Stop Making When It Comes To Their Kryptonite: Men
Adam Rifkin stashed this in Young Americans
Stashed in: Women, Relationships
Millennial Lauren Davis gives advice to other millenials:
Ladies, what's wrong with us? Why do we always feel like we're doing something wrong? Why is it always our problem, our issue that needs to be addressed? Why do we keep making the same mistakes over and over again? Why can't we just be perfect?
When it comes to men, we have a tendency to overthink, analyze and berate ourselves until we're left with nothing but broken hearts and a closet full of "mistakes" we wish could take back.
We look at our relationships as ships that only we could crash, forcing ourselves to sink along with them. We wish that we could do it all over again and take back everything that drove him away or made him love us less.
We think of all the things we'd do differently. We'd call him less, look through his phone more, stop looking at his phone, play hard to get, play a little easier to get, and the list goes on.
I have a problem with this. I have a problem because after years of punishing myself over failed relationships and long, single statuses, I've realized that maybe our biggest mistake is thinking that we're making any at all.
Why do we give ourselves the short end of the stick all the time? Why do we take the blame for the way he acted or the reason he left? Why do we only see our own failures and mistakes when clearly the problem is his. I'm tired of women thinking that they are the ones always doing something wrong.
I'm tired of women thinking they need to change to be with a man or that a man is a necessary goal for their happiness. We've come too far and done too much to keep believing that we are making the mistakes.
So for women everywhere who are crying over, for or under a man, here are the 12 real mistakes you need to stop making, beginning with thinking that you even need one...
Thinking You Need A Man To Be Happy
You do not need a man. You do not need anyone. Everyone else is just distracting you from getting to know yourself. Men come and go, and maybe one day you will find the right one and settle down, but until then, stop trying to complete your life with anyone but yourself.
Caring About How You Look
You don't have to be beautiful for anyone. You don't owe your looks to men. You don't owe them big boobs or soft skin. You don't owe them long legs and silky hair. You don't owe them skinny torsos and painted toenails. They may ask for it, but that doesn't mean they have a right to it.
Saying Sorry
You haven't done anything wrong. (Unless you have.) They are not your captors and you are not there to apologize to them. Don't apologize because your hair is short or your sweater is baggy.
Don't apologize because you have your period or you don't want to sleep with them. Don't apologize because you can't meet their demands or their requests. You are a woman who needs no apologies.
Worrying About Someone's Needs Over Your Own
Stop trying to make men happy. You are supposed to take care of yourself and worry about your own needs first. Don't do things for him just because it will make him happy. Don't value yourself as nothing more than a slave to his demands. Remember, your needs are just as important as are his.
Putting Your Worth In Him
Your worth is not determined by any man. You don't need a man to be happy nor should you judge yourself on the opinion of one.
There's no reason to think that just because you are single that you are worth less than if you were attached. You are strong and independent, don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
Wanting More Than He Can GiveStop looking for a boyfriend in a boy who doesn't want to be associated with the word. If you know he can't give you what you want then move on or accept that. Stop trying to turn him into something he doesn't want to be, because in the end, you will be the only one who ends up changing.
Missing Him
Mourning a man is as stupid as crying over milk that hasn't even spilled yet, a waste of time and only creating more troubles for yourself.
Lamenting over men who will never love you or men you can't be with will only keep you from meeting the ones who can. Don't give them your tears, because even tears are worth something.
She lists several more mistakes..
...but you get the point.
And she is correct, and this applies to both genders: Never let someone else make you feel bad about yourself.

This is a French Limoges Haviland & Co Limoges demitasse tea set in the Ranson blank. The date is circa 1905 to 1930.
The set consists of a demitasse teapot, small sugar and small creamer. The gold trim is applied at the factory and the entire set matches, meaning this is the original set.
The teapot in the Ranson blank has a straight spout.
The pot is 5 ¼" high to the top of the finial and 5 ¾" wide from spout-to-handle. The sugar is 3 ½" high to the top of the finial and 4 ½" wide from handle-to-handle. The creamer is 3 ¼" high and 3 ¼" wide from spout-to-handle.
The size of the pot is a two tasse, meaning it holds approximately two cups of liquid, just enough tea for one person.
The rich gold trims the round finials, the ribbon handles, the edges, and details the spout of the tea pot.
The point on the tab on the underside of the pot's lid is broken off, an accident that I see a lot on pot lids. I show this flaw in a close-up photo. Enough of the tab remains to hold the lid firmly in place. There are no other chips, cracks or crazing. There is minimal wear to the gold trim. There are a few glaze marks, and there is a feeling of slight roughness when handling the finials, where the gold trim isn't totally smooth.
The green underglaze mark is Haviland France. The red overglaze factory decorating mark is Decore Par Haviland & Co Limoges. The red decorating mark is found on the bottom of each piece, and also on the underside of both lids.

A survey of
career women age 45 to 70 earning $75,000 or more annually shows they are highly
confident about how to manage money, but fear they may never have enough money
to retire.
While 46 percent of the respondents have a defined
benefit plan -- more than double those in the general population -- and most
have 401(k) plans, IRAs and additional savings, financial anxiety has spurred 42
percent to put more emphasis on guaranteed income for retirement. More than
one-fourth said they are saving more, but another one-fourth aren't sure what
they should be doing to better prepare for retirement.
More than
one-third, 34 percent, said they lost a considerable amount of their savings
when the economy faltered. Sixty percent said they have moderate risk tolerance
when it comes to investing, even though nearly one-third report their risk
tolerance has decreased over the past two years.
"This poll
indicates that many successful women lack confidence in their financial
futures," said Sandra Timmermann, director of the MetLife Mature Market
Institute. "The current state of the economy may be a factor, and many remain on
the sidelines awaiting direction. Even those who earn more than $200,000 per
year say they're worried about outliving their
percent of respondents rate saving for retirement as the most challenging
activity they confront; other challenges were juggling work and family (45
percent) and elder care (30 percent).
income executive women are a force in today's economy," said Cindy Hounsell, CEO
of WISER. "They play a significant role in managing family finances, have
climbed the organizational ladder despite hitting the constraints of the glass
ceiling and have achieved success in terms of their careers and their income.
The predominant challenge these women face is their feeling of insecurity about
retirement. It is a common concern."

2003 Audi A6 Quattro Questions
Get answers to questions about your 2003 Audi A6 Quattro at RepairPal. Find solutions, diagnose problems and get back on the road.Refine by vehicle
How do I change the Coolant sensor level Indicator in a 3.0 2003 Aud Quattro ? Thank you
wait 10 minutes to start.and my oil sensor light is on,are they connected?
2003 Audi A6 quattro. I was driving last night, went to pull out of the parking lot and car started making a grinding sound as if i was dragging something under the car, and then the car stopped moving and will no longer move. I looked and nothing is dragging. But like i said the car wont move, and it doesnt make the sound in park.. but as soon as i put it in drive it makes the noise again.
The gauges for the gas, speedometer, and the calculated miles left to drive are going crazy, back and forth.
i couldnt find any reference in the fuses layout to the electric fan, i didnt find any relay box, would anybody help me out find and identify those parts is very important thanks a lot
I have to find out the reason of the temperature raises on my car when i wait on slow traffic rides y need help to check my options before go to the dealer, i really need help with this thanks
i saw the temperature gauge showing 1 notch before the H mark in a simple slow traffic for three blocks i stop the car and opened the hood, the fan did not work, the fan after i usually park the car begins to runs after a few seconds, in this case the fan simply dosent work
When i turn on the car the air conditioner runs automatically, then the air became warmer, and the engine fan stops working, and a smell like burned oil came from the engine, there is no visible oil leak, but its smell pretty intense for at least 30 seconds then stops
but temp is normal on the dash
First my my reservoir cracked then while idling it had water running all over the place ,,I fixed one of the problems and had a few hoses and clamps replaced but it won't stop running hot . It starts getting hot after only 15 mins while driving then when i pull it over to cool it goes to the normal but then the i have to check the reservoir the coolant goes down and then the pressure is so built up it pushes the coolant back up to the I really need help with this
Boots are torn, cv shafts are fine.
I think some oil is leaking into radiator. What would caused it? How big of job is it to fix it?
when I am driving my car and pass some bums on the street my car moves like a low rider.

After my disastrous experience with bargain bin roofing, I was determined not to be swindled again. There was a lot of work that needed to be done to bring my roof up to an acceptable standard, and I needed a company that really knew what they were doing to complete the task. This time, I took my time to ask around rather than calling the first phone number I came across. It is true that not all roofing companies are equal, and I can tell you from firsthand experience that the difference in quality is massive.
The best thing to do is ask for referrals from people you trust. That can include friends, family members, coworkers, or neighbors. If this is not an option for you, the next place to try is the internet. Many websites provide reviews for various services and businesses in your area. These can be very helpful, but it is important to keep in mind that anyone can write anything they want so reviews may not always be truthful or accurate. Use this as more of a guide to steer you towards the most promising prospects.
From there, call around and speak with each company to learn more about them. Do not be afraid to:
- Request a quote. Ask them to itemize costs and put it in writing for you if you plan to proceed. This way, you can avoid unexpected expenses once the work has begun.
- Inquire about certifications and insurance. It is crucial that they have the appropriate qualifications to work on your roof for liability reasons.
- Ask for references.
- Discuss the amount of experience their team has had working on roofs similar to yours. Different roofing materials must be handled accordingly. It is important for them to be familiar with the type of roofing material you plan to use
Price should not be the only criteria you use when choosing a roofing contractor, and it is often wise to call around and speak with a few different companies before deciding unless you've received a recommendation you know you can trust.
After taking the steps listed above, I ultimately decided to go with Louisville Roofing Contractors. They were knowledgeable and professional when discussing my situation, and took the time to go over a few possible solutions. I immediately felt confident in their ability and expertise, which is not something I can say about the previous roofing company.
They will begin the repairs on my roof this week. I'm looking forward to stowing away those buckets for another 20 years. If I never see another puddle in my living room again, it will be too soon. I'm just glad that no other area of the house has been damaged by the leaky roof. It has helped that there's been less rain than usual for this time of year. Although no matter what, roof leaks or roof damage should always be dealt with as soon as possible.
