Unexpected expenses and financial needs can come up quickly when we least expect it. But what are the options? Borrow from a friend? Borrow from a bank? Request a quick, high interest payday loan? Now there is an exciting new platform that allows customers to work with friends and family to secure a short term loan or save for something special: Community Saving Platform (CSP).
Based on the age-old concept of community lending, Community Saving Platform is the world's first online social saving platform that allows members to leverage their network to achieve their financial needs without paying high interest fees.
The CSP model is designed so community members each contribute small amounts on a regular basis via a set payment schedule, rather than contributing or lending large amounts up front. Participating members take turns each period receiving their "draw" from the community so, at the end of the designated period, all participants have recouped the money they contributed.
How Community Saving Platform Works
An individual sets up a Community Platform and defines its purpose. Then, the member establishes a weekly or monthly amount they'd like to contribute, and would like others to contribute. Next, the member invites friends and family to join them via the platform. Those who agree to participate will sign a legal contract. This helps ensure community members are participating as agreed.
Each contributor is given a designated time period from which to receive their portion of the savings. For example, if 10 people contribute $10 each for 10 weeks, each person will take a turn receiving $100 each week. By the end of the 10 weeks, each person has contributed $100 and each person has received $100. This serves as both a loan for some of the contributors who receive funds on the early end of the period, and an easy savings plan for others who receive funds on the later end of the designated period. The individual who set up the Community Platform can either designate the order in which members receive their draw or he can choose to allow CSP's algorithm to select the order.
"Our goal is to give our community members more freedom and flexibility to borrow, lend or save their money," said Iqbal Rahmoon, CEO, of Community Saving Platform. "Our platform promotes a fair society where people globally can help one another meet their financial goals."

What: The Boulder Philharmonic opens its season with pianist Inon Barnatan
When: 7 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 8 (Note new date, time)
Where: Macky Auditorium, University of Colorado campus
Tickets: $13-$70
Info: 303-449-1343 (ext. 2) or boulderphil.org
Etc.: Pre-concert talk with Kevin Shuck and Jeffrey Nytch at 6 p.m., Macky Room 102. For details about other related events, including the Phil's collaboration with the City of Boulder Open Space and Mountain Parks, visit the orchestra's website
When the Boulder Philharmonic discussed commissioning a new composition to open its 2014-15 season, music director Michael Butterman didn't know the form the work would eventually take.
The Phil decided to structure its season around the 125th anniversary of the Geological Society of America, so Butterman "knew it was going to be a pictorial work dealing with the geology of the West."
What Butterman and the Phil received was a full, four-movement symphony structured in a nearly traditional sense -- the orchestra's largest commission in Butterman's tenure.
Composer and University of Colorado faculty member Jeffrey Nytch holds degrees in music and geology, making him the ideal choice for the commission. He said he and Butterman had discussed the size of the piece and agreed on the parameters.
"We talked about a 25-minute piece, and it ended up being a little over 30 minutes," Nytch said. "I always knew I was going to call it a symphony, but I didn't know the structure yet.
"I looked at the geologic episodes that I wanted to capture, and then all of those events naturally fell into that traditional symphonic form. That's the way it evolved."
Symphony No. 1 ("Formations") will be heard Sunday, Sept. 8, at Macky Auditorium. The date was moved from Saturday because of a conflict with a University of Colorado football game. The concert begins earlier than usual, at 7 p.m.
Nytch briefly described the four movements:
"The first movement, called 'Orogenies,' lays the foundation, depicting the Precambrian geology that started forming the continental crust. It also lays the musical foundation, introducing the main themes and placing three climaxes to depict three major mountain-building events. It ends with a long, quiet coda that reflects the long hiatus in geologic activity in this area after these events.
"The second movement is called 'Rush!' It is about the gold and silver rushes in the area -- a short movement with a lot of activity, including a fiddle tune and percussionists actually rubbing stones onto pans to depict the sound of miners panning for gold. It's like the scherzo in a traditional symphony.
"The third movement, called 'Requiems,' is about the fossil fuels that are such a history of our economic activity."
Nytch said he was not making a political statement with the movement and that the focus was on the once-living things that fuel our modern lifestyle.
"The simplicity and poignancy of that idea was worth making into the symphony's slow movement," Nytch said.
The last movement, "Majesties," depicts the formation of the modern Rocky Mountains, using brass chorales and explosive, rushing music.
Nytch is self-publishing the score, including a detailed composer's analysis, and is actively working to get other orchestras in Colorado and the West to perform it after the Phil premiere.
In a sort of musical "surf and turf," Butterman opens the concert with the Four Sea Interludes from Benjamin Britten's great opera "Peter Grimes." Butterman said they are incredibly effective pieces outside the opera's context. Indeed, they have long had a concert life of their own.
"They are a challenge and not a typical concert opener," Butterman said. "But it's a nice pairing with Jeff's 'Formations.' We will have four seascapes and four landscapes."
After intermission, the concert will leave the nature theme and take on the typical function of a premiere. One of the largest warhorses of the concerto literature, Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto No. 1, will be played by Inon Barnatan, an Israeli-born pianist currently living in New York.
Barnatan will make his first appearance with the Phil, but he has played in Colorado, having just finished his summer festival season in Aspen. The winner of a 2009 Avery Fisher Career Grant, Barnatan is known for his focus on solo recitals and chamber music, as well as concerto performances with orchestras.
"It's hard to have a good concerto performance without the experience of chamber music, of actively listening and working with other people," Barnatan said. "It's important to me to keep doing that even now that I've started playing with major orchestras across the country."
Barnatan said the Tchaikovsky concerto truly allows a pianist to be a pianist while still giving much focus to the orchestra.
"The virtuosic, bravura elements have a largeness about them that is immensely satisfying to play," Barnatan said.
He and Butterman said the concerto is a work whose outward popularity belies the number of actual performances.
"The BPO has not performed it in well over a decade," Butterman said. "It's a classic opening night work."
Barnatan added that it was not one of the first concertos he learned precisely because of its ubiquity.
"When I learned it, I realized why so many people want to hear it," he said. "It has a sense of grace, as well as power, and that is lacking in some performances."
Barnatan said placing the concerto at the end of the concert helps emphasize its symphonic nature rather than placing all the focus on the soloist.

BEAUMONT – Senior guard Mike James came off the bench to score 25 points Saturday night at the Montagne Center, leading a quartet of double-figure scorers in Lamar University's decisive 80-63 basketball win over rival Louisiana-Lafayette.
The Cardinals improved to 5-3 on the year with the win, and evened the all-time series with the Ragin' Cajuns (4-6) at 41 wins apiece. Lamar will play its last game before final exams Monday night at 7 p.m. as Texas-Pan American visits the Montagne Center. UTPA is 2-7 and will come to Beaumont after losing to No. 2 Ohio State, 64-35.
Lamar trailed by six points in the first half, falling behind 21-15 with 8:19 to play. A 16-9 run capped by a pair of Brandon Davis free throws gave the Cards a 31-30 lead with 1:38 to play in the first half that they would never surrender.
LU carried a 38-34 lead into the halftime locker room on the strength of 11 offensive rebounds. The Cardinals outscored the Cajuns 11-4 on second chance points in the first half, and also turned 10 UL-Lafayette turnovers into 16 points.
"All the hustle plays give you momentum," said LU head coach Pat Knight. "We weren't getting any of them the first 15 minutes. When you make hustle plays, it gets the crowd into it for one, it gets our players into it and it gets some energy to the team that gets you playing better at both ends."
James, who had missed three games due to a suspension, scored 15 of his 25 points in the first half as he carried much of the offensive load. Brandon Davis added seven of his 10 points in the first 20 minutes, giving the Cardinals a 24-9 advantage in bench points in the first half.
"I think taking better shots is the key to making Coach Knight happy with my play," said James who was a solid 11-of-17 from the field in the game. "He just said that if I could score going to the basket, it would be better for our offense. He said I don't need to settle for just shooting threes.
"Being out for a couple of games got my mind right. It was hard to sit and watch my teammates play. It's more fun to be out there with them."
Raymone Andrews buried a 3-pointer with 16:08 to play in the game to pull the Cajuns to within two points at 41-39. However, Lamar scored the next five points to push its lead to seven, and UL-Lafayette never got closer than five the rest of the way.
A James steal and layup gave Lamar its first double-digit lead at 56-45 with 11:32 to play. Davis then hit a 3-pointer, followed by a Charlie Harper three-point play and a Devon Lamb offensive rebound and putback, and Lamar's lead ballooned to a game high 19 with 8:43 to play.
The Cardinals shot a torrid 58.3 percent from the floor in the second half in outscoring the Cajuns 42-29 after the break. Lamar also finished with a 40-30 rebound advantage, including ripping down 17 off the offensive end.
Lamar's defensive intensity picked up in the second half, which also added up to easy offense. The Cards limited UL-Lafayette to just 10-of-30 shooting in the second half, and 40.0 percent aim for the game.
James and Davis combined for 35 off the Cardinals 39 bench points, helping Lamar outscore UL-Lafayette by 26 in bench points. Lamar also enjoyed a 26-10 advantage in points off turnovers in the game, picking up 12 steals and turning many of them into easy baskets.
While it was mostly James and Davis leading the offense in the first half, Lamb and Anthony Miles led the way in the second half. Lamb scored 11 of his 12 points in the second half, adding eight rebounds and four steals.
Miles, who leads the team in scoring at 17.0 points per game, scored 10 points in the second half to finish with 16. He matched his season-high with eight assists, and also added six rebounds and two steals in 33 minutes of work.
"He can play," said Knight of Miles. "The kid's just a good basketball player. The kid competes, and I need to be more careful to give him more of a rest. I think sometimes we leave him out there a little too long."
It was Miles who provided the final dagger in the contest. While the Cajuns never got their deficit back to single digits, they had gone on a little run to pull within 12 at the 3:28 mark. Miles stepped into a 3-pointer on Lamar's next possession and buried it from the top of the key to push Lamar's lead back to 15.
Andrews led the Cajuns with 16 points, scoring all of them in the second half. Josh Brown added 13 points and a game-high nine rebounds, while four other players scored seven points each.

BNew Avaya data networking chief Marc Randall has five focus areas in his sights to help the company sell its Ethernet switches, gain market share ... and perhaps stave off irrelevancy.
Even after buying the Ethernet switching assets of Nortel in 2009, Avaya has lost half of its revenue share in the Ethernet switching market over the past three years, according to Dell'Oro Group. The company's share dropped from 3 percent of an $18 billion market in 2008, to 1.4 percent of a $19.8 billion market in 2011.
Yet Randall, an Ethernet switching veteran who joined the firm Jan. 3 as the new senior vice president and general manager of Avaya Networking, is bullish on the company's prospects in five key markets:
• campus
• branch
• edge
• mobility
"We really are committed to get into the data networking business," Randall says. "Because of the Nortel acquisition, I wasn't really sure what the product portfolio looked like. To my surprise, the portfolio exceeded my expectations."
Avaya's focus for 2012 will be on tightly aligning its networking infrastructure products to applications in those five target markets. Those applications include Avaya's own unified communications and contact center packages, Web Alive collaboration application, and to other general purpose business applications, like databases, ERP, CRM, etc.
"We believe that we've got a unique opportunity to get tightly coupled with applications," Randall says. "Cisco's become so siloed recently that getting a tighter connection to the applications turned out to be a bigger, bigger challenge, and I think that's where the industry's going to go.
"If we can pull off tying the application to the infrastructure, where the applications run better, I thought this was going to be a great opportunity."
In the campus, Randall believes Avaya's Virtual Enterprise Network Architecture (VENA) will appeal to organizations looking to overcome the scalability limitations of Ethernet's Spanning Tree protocol. VENA is based on the IEEE's Shortest Path Bridging (SPB) specification, which uses a link state routing protocol to allow switches to learn the shortest paths through an Ethernet fabric and dynamically adjust to topology changes. SPB also allows Ethernet networks to deploy multiple active paths to overcome the traditional active-passive redundancy of Spanning Tree, in which half of all ports could be in a non-forwarding mode.
There's also an opportunity to ride on the back of Avaya's unified communications and collaboration portfolio in enterprise campuses, especially if the company's switches are optimized for those applications.
"There's no reason that (channel partners) can't attach data (to Avaya UC offerings)," Randall says. "So we've got an initiative -- I call it the first hop into the network. If you sell an Avaya VoIP phone, that phone should be attached to an Avaya switch with an Avaya identity engine doing the policy management. If you have an existing infrastructure you connect the Avaya switch into the existing infrastructure. That for us would be a tremendous port win."
The data center is another natural fit for VENA -- and vice versa, Randall believes. With data center switching fabrics moving to low latency, multipath architectures, VENA and its SPB foundation are up to the task.
Indeed, VENA was initially introduced to address these new, flat, low-latency Ethernet fabrics for the data center. And it brings simplicity to an overly complicated consideration, Randall says.
"One of the things that continues to be a big challenge in the data center is, you've got [Juniper] QFabric, [Arista] spine and leaf, [Cisco's] three tiers, and all of the solutions are pretty complex," Randall says. "VENA is shortest path bridging, which is Q-in-Q," the well established IEEE 802.1Q-in-Q VLAN stacking specification. "Our next step is, we really have to be a lot more vocal in the data center community on our solution. It brings to market an extremely compelling value proposition to Cisco FabricPath and the others."
The data center and campus initiatives also involve another key market for Avaya -- intelligent switching at the network edge. Intelligent edges in the data center and in the enterprise keep traffic from always going to the core of the network to get forwarding instructions, thereby reducing latency.
Randall says network edge intelligence lets IT have a flat architecture where data doesn't have to touch the core, facilitating a more horizontal, or "east/west" traffic flow versus always going to the core. In this regard, Avaya will continue to enhance its edge switches with forwarding, application and service-level intelligence so these horizontal, low-latency VENA networks can be implemented enterprisewide.
Where Avaya has gaps is in the remote access and unified branch, Randall admits. Mobility comes into play in the market as well. Randall sees an opportunity to improve policy-based security management in branch offices through a concentration on Avaya wireless LANs, secure routing, and support for the "bring your own device" (BYOD) phenomena.
With more employees accessing corporate data and applications from mobile devices like smartphonesand tablets, security becomes even more of a concern for enterprises. The traditional branch office management model has to change, and that's where Avaya is looking for opportunity.
"In the traditional branch, security is all based on MAC address," Randall says. "We're moving to the point of, you should have policies per individual -- where do they work, what should they get at, what operating system do they have on their device, what device is it -- and be able to generally provision access as people plug into the network. This year you will see more (Avaya) activity in the branch."
And as for that sliding market share -- how does Avaya data networking keep from slipping from the buyer's radar screen?
"We've seen really solid growth the last two quarters which we think is going to extend into this quarter," Randall says, even though Dell'Oro notes otherwise. "And then we have a direct sales approach of taking our VENA architecture and selling that in the campus. We're seeing our business pick up.
"Do we have a brand?" he asks. "We let it get stale, but now is an opportunity to refresh. So we're kind of in a unique position here, I'm kind of excited about it."
On the competitive front, Randall says Avaya has a better end-to-end story than Extreme Networks; a more holistic story than Brocade, which he says is fixated on the data center; a better solution story than HP, which he says sells individual boxes based on low price; and a tighter enterprise focus than Juniper, whose "DNA is in the service provider space."
"I'm looking at having a better delivery and a better product line" than the competition, Randall says. "The chips will fall where they may."

Motley Crue's Vince Neil Bringing Arena League Football Back to Las Vegas
Though he had previously expressed his desire to bring football to Las Vegas, nothing was official for Motley Crue's Vince Neil until now. According to the Las Vegas Sun, the Arena Football League has given Neil the opportunity to "build a Las Vegas team from scratch" in time for the 2015 season.
Neil has been getting his feet wet in the football world, reportedly becoming a minority owner of the Jacksonville Sharks (although that was not completely confirmed). But even upon his association with the Jacksonville team, he discussed his desire to bring football back to Las Vegas, where he currently resides.
This will be the third time an AFL team has launched in Las Vegas, as the Las Vegas Sting played in Sin City during 1994 and 1995, while the Las Vegas Gladiators were in existence from 2003 to 2007. According to the newspaper, Neil has asked for his team to be called the Las Vegas Outlaws.
Neil would not be the first rocker to explore ownership of a football franchise. Jon Bon Jovi was once one of the majority owners of the Philadelphia Soul and most recently KISS expanded their branding to include ownership of the L.A. Kiss Arena League team.

News editor
Marion High School head wrestling coach Chad Adkins believes his team has probably nine team members who have a good chance to go to state, five or six who can place at state, and two who he thinks can be in the running for state titles.
But they won't get there without teammates who can push them and make them better every day in practice.
"We try to focus on the team aspect of it," Adkins said. "That's really important. For us to have state champions, we have to have guys who can push them."
He said good teammates will hold one another accountable for working hard in practice. They also hold one another accountable in school, both in academics and discipline.
"No bonehead decisions," he said.
Adkins reminded the team of that on Nov. 14, telling the wrestlers that if they miss practice because of disciplinary action, they won't be getting better and they won't be helping their teammates get better.
Every practice begins with running to help wrestlers improve their endurance. Adkins said he thinks endurance is as or more important in wrestling than any other sport. Each match is an intense, whole-body workout for six minutes.
There are 19 wrestlers on the team this year, down a little bit from last year, but with a big freshman class. With those wrestlers, Adkins plans to fill 14 weight classes. Despite the smaller group, he said he sees just as much talent on this year's team as recent years.
Adkins thinks Brody Carroll and Evan Slater are capable of competing for state championships. Both are strong, aggressive, skilled, and with a lot of experience.
"Brody is one of the better athletes I've coached in terms of pure athletic ability," Adkins said.
He added that the coaching staff will have to throw a lot at Slater to challenge him enough to keep him improving through the year.
Adkins also thinks Beretta Janzen and Eric Regnier have the ability to place at the state tournament, and John Nordquist, Zac Lewman, and Brayden Putter are all looking much better from 2011.
"They know the drill, work hard," Adkins said.
Putter will be counted on to make Carroll the best he can be, and Nordquist, Lewman, and coaches will challenge Slater in practice.
He said there are other wrestlers on the team who are ready to turn the corner and make a big improvement if they'll do what Adkins and assistant coaches Andy Hansen and Luke King ask of them.
The Warriors begin their season Dec. 1 at the Mission Valley Tournament.
Anticipated weight classes
Brian Hiebert, 106 pounds; Beretta Janzen, 113; Remington Putter, 120; Eric Regnier, 126; Dakota Funk, 132; Brayden Putter, 138; Brody Carroll, 145; Luke Steele and Zac Dvorak, 152; Derrick Dvorak, 160; Zac Lewman, 182; John Nordquist and Dylan Cochran, 195; Evan Slater and Dirk Young, 220; Adam Kjellin and Jacob Smith, 285.

Oct 4 (Reuters) - Cleveland Browns quarterback Brian Hoyer will miss the remainder of the season after tearing the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee in Thursday's win over Buffalo, coach Rob Chudzinski said on Friday.
Chudzinski said surgery would be needed for the quarterback.
"Obviously he'll be out for the season," the coach told reporters.
Brandon Weeden, who took over on Thursday after Hoyer was hurt, is expected to lead the team the rest of the season.
Weeden started 15 games for the Browns last season but Hoyer went from third team to starter this season after Weeden sprained his thumb, and he won his first two starts.
Hoyer injured the knee on Cleveland's second offensive series when he was hit by Bills linebacker Kiko Alonso.
Weeden, still recovering from the thumb injury, came on to lead AFC North leader Cleveland (3-2) to a 37-24 victory, for their third consecutive win. (Reporting by Gene Cherry in Raleigh, North Carolina; Editing by Larry Fine)

Ninety-three percent of Tajikistan's territory is mountainous, and the mountain glaciers are the source of its rivers. Tajikistan is an earthquake-prone area. The republic is bounded by China in the east, Afghanistan to the south, and Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan to the west and north. The central Asian republic also includes the Gorno-Badakh Shan Autonomous region. Tajikistan is slightly larger than the state of Illinois.
The Tajiks, whose language is nearly identical with Persian, were part of the ancient Persian Empire that was ruled by Darius I and later conquered by Alexander the Great (333 B.C.). In the 7th and 8th centuries, Arabs conquered the region and brought Islam. The Tajiks were successively ruled by Uzbeks and then Afghans until claimed by Russia in the 1860s. In 1924, Tajikistan was consolidated into a newly formed Tajik Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic, which was administratively part of the Uzbek SSR until the Tajik ASSR gained full-fledged republic status in 1929.
Tajikistan declared its sovereignty in Aug. 1990. In 1991, the republic's Communist leadership supported the attempted coup against Soviet president Mikhail Gorbachev. Tajikistan joined with ten other former Soviet republics in the Commonwealth of Independent States on Dec. 21, 1991. A parliamentary republic was proclaimed and presidential rule abolished in Nov. 1992. After independence, Tajikistan experienced sporadic conflict as the Communist-dominated government struggled to combat an insurgency by Islamic and democratic opposition forces. Despite continued international efforts to end the civil war, periodic fighting continued. About 60,000 people lost their lives in Tajikistan's civil war. The conflict ended officially on June 27, 1997, with the signing in Moscow of peace accords between the government of President Imomali Rakhmonov and the United Tajik Opposition (UTO), a coalition of largely Islamic groups. Since then, however, peace has been tenuous, marred regularly by killing sprees by various opposition groups.
In 2005 parliamentary elections, the president's governing party received 80% of the votes; international monitors pronounced them irregular. President Rakhmonov won a third term in the Nov. 2006 elections, which were boycotted by opposition parties. Since he came to power ten years ago, he has shut down the country's independent media and jailed opposition leaders. His government has also been accused of numerous human rights abuses and corruption.

A pair of Democratic senators has introduced a bill to improve federal hiring by allowing agencies to share information on job applicants.
Currently, agencies with similar hiring needs cannot share assessments of applications with each other. The Competitive Service Act, sponsored by Sens. Jon Tester, D-Mont., and Mark Begich, D-Alaska, would allow agencies to use another agency's applicant pool when looking to fill a position in the same occupational series and within a similar grade level.
"This common-sense bill makes government more efficient without targeting our hard-working federal employees," said Tester, chairman of a subcommittee that oversees the federal workforce. "It also helps speed up the hiring process so we can make sure we have a strong federal workforce that is ready to serve the American people."
Good government advocates praised the measure.
"Kudos to Sen. Tester for proposing common-sense, cost-effective federal hiring reforms that will allow agencies to more efficiently hire top-flight candidates," said Max Stier, president of the nonprofit Partnership for Public Service, in a statement. "The legislation will authorize agencies to share their best-qualified job candidates with one another, which will enable our government to recruit better talent, in addition to saving time and money. We urge Congress to pass Sen. Tester's legislation."
The bill would ensure no collective bargaining agreements are violated.

Scientology Spiritual CounsellingThis site provides an overview of Scientology spiritual counselling. It covers the principles this counselling is based on, how a Scientology counselling session is conducted and why it works.
Scientology spiritual counselling is called auditing. It is the central practice of the Scientology religion. Auditing is delivered by an auditor (from the Latin word audire, meaning to listen) — a person trained and expert in the exact techniques of Dianetics and Scientology.
The goal of Scientology auditing is to restore individual ability.
Unique to the Scientology religion — and revolutionary in the field of spiritual development — is the use by auditors of the electropsychometer, or E-Meter. Scientology auditors use the E-Meter to help isolate areas of spiritual travail or upset that exist below a person's current awareness. Once brought to light, such trouble areas can then be examined by the individual.
You are invited to learn about Scientology, how the E-Meter works and how Scientology auditing can help you achieve a better life.

There Is EVEN More Problems With The Census Website.
Census woes have hit again with the ABS's website experiencing yet another outage.
Upon trying to log on to the website, Australians were told the website was 'unreachable'' due to a server 'error''.
@ABSStats Is Census site down again? I haven't been able to log on to it all day - Chrome, Firefox, IE, Android, none works!— The DON (@Don_Is_Good) August 18, 2016
The government agency is not sure on how many census forms have been completed since 'census night'' has passed but it is believed more than half thhe country have now logged on.
Around 2.3 million forms were submitted on the night before the census before the website was shut down after a spate of cyber attacks.
@TownlandOrigin @NARIreland Not just the census, either. All the databases on the Genealogy website are down.— Claire Santry (@Irish_Genealogy) August 18, 2016
The public are worried that they may be fined $180 per day for not completing the census, which is already past its due date.
The ABS is yet to comment.

Valeisha Butterfield — Crush of the Day [PICTURES]
Valeisha Butterfield is the daughter of George Kenneth (G.K) Butterfield, Jr. who is the U.S. Representative for North Carolina's 1st congressional district. She is also married to NBA player Dahntay Jones of the Indiana Pacers. Valeisha is the founder of The Women in Entertainment Empowerment Network (WEEN) and is our crush today because she was somehow overlooked in our countdown of the 10 hottest daughters of politicians.
This oversight is all the more reason that politicians should let the world know when they have good looking children. It should be a part of their campaign for election. "You might not like my stand on taxes, but you can't argue my daughter is hot!" It's an easy way to not only get easy votes, but, to get more people involved in voting. A vote for G.K. Buttermaker is like a vote for his hot daughter. Butterfield. Whatever. Who cares about his name, voting doesn't matter anyway.
If every other hot daughter of a politician would please get in touch with us, we'd be happy to include them on our list, or make them the 'Crush of the Day.' Not so fast Alice Roosevelt.

Sommelier of the Month (US): Rafael Peterson
Born and Raised, San Diego
Our Sommelier of the Month for this past March, Rafael Peterson of Born and Raised in San Diego, sat down and answered some questions for us!
Tell us about your restaurant. What is your must-eat dish on the menu and which wine do you recommend with it?
I can go on in depth over the flavors oozing from our dry aged cuts, but a dish and pairing that we have been really excited about is our Uni Pasta (served with freshly made pasta, uni butter, shaved cured egg yolk) paired with a lusciously rich, creamy, however dry and savory Furmint from Tokaji, Hungary. The texture from when leads harmoniously into to other.
What are your favorite food and wine combos? What do you find to be the hardest/easiest to match up?
I love pairings that contrast each other's style heavily, like garlic-creamed escargot with bone marrow paired with an off-dry Riesling (served at Born and Raised); rich, creamy, and heavy vs. floral, semi-sweet and light. There's a pairing for everything, just be open to all options.
Any tips for decanter newbies?
Stay focused on the task at hand, but feel free to initiate small talk with your guest while you are decanting. It takes a bit of pressure away from the decanting service and eases the mood a bit.
Can you recommend one red and one white that you find to be crowd pleasers?
Paso Robles Syrah has all the things someone is looking for in a big rich red: structure, non aggressive tannin, big fruit, round character. Clean, crisp white wines are an easy go-to on a warm day: look for interesting options like Grüner Veltliner from Austria or Vermentino from Corsica to replace the popular Pinot Grigio.
In your opinion, how do Riedel glasses enhance the wine drinking experience? Which is your favorite glass/product?
We take immense pride in the buildout of our dining room, and the timeless and classic feel it portrays. Riedel stemware has always had that classic feel to me, not too flashy while able to set itself apart in even the most astonishing settings. The XL Cabernet Restaurant Series is a perfect vessel for some of the richer styles of thick skin grapes that we serve with our steaks here, allowing for immediate and ample aeration in the glass.
Any big trends that you have been noticing in the wine industry?
There's a big trend revolving around wines that are made naturally, which is a great idea, except that we shouldn't let that term mask what could potentially be flawed winemaking. Find wines that respect the environment that also taste great!

Wade Hubers had prices locked in for more than half of his 2005 corn crop before the first of November. Should the market go up, he'll benefit. Should the market take a dive, he'll still have a reasonable year.
All that remains is producing the crop, and he's even hedging against the unlikely event of a crop failure.
Meanwhile, he's still reflecting on the fun year he had marketing in 2004.
"This year has been a fun year," says the Pantego, N.C., farmer who grows corn and soybeans. Historically high corn prices presented a lot of opportunity. If growers took advantage of the opportunities and sold, they are now adding to those good prices with LDP payments. "It doesn't get much more fun than that. It's almost embarrassing in a year like this year when you tell somebody this was a fun year and they're looking at $2 corn and still haven't sold anything. It's not that much fun to them.
"If it's not something you really like, marketing can be very frustrating and unsatisfying," Hubers says.
But it can be learned. Hubers started working with a marketing advisor in 1981. "He helped me see the value of discipline. He helped me separate the emotion from the marketing. As farmers we tend to be emotionally attached to the crop."
Using a scale-up strategy, Hubers begins selling once he gets into the profit zone — beyond the cost-of-production. "We sell on the way up and when we feel like it's topped out, we continue to sell on the way down, so that by the time it gets back below the profit level, we've pretty much sold 100 percent."
That happened this year, when Hubers advised the group of farmers to sell the remainder of their corn crop in July while most were waiting for prices to go to $4 a bushel. The move made the growers money.
With soybeans, it's a little different situation. He missed the highs of this past season because he didn't have the beans on hand, but the philosophy of hitting the top third of the market still garnered him premiums and profit.
Speaking from experience, Hubers says farmers become emotionally attached to their crop. "They're always wanting to hit that home run to make up for last year's losses. That very seldom happens."
Hitting the top of the market might be a once-in-a-lifetime thing, but it's not a steady, profitable approach an ag lender can rely on.
A successful marketing plan focuses more on base hits than home runs. "A lot more games are won by base hits than by home runs," Hubers says. A farmer gets on base by knowing cost of production and selling when he's at that level, regardless of where he thinks the price is going. "You may sell in small increments if you think there's a 90 percent chance that the price will go higher. As it goes up, increase the size of the increments."
In years when he doesn't get to a profitable level, he still "gets a floor under the crop by forward booking and hedging."
It takes discipline, however. When corn went from $2.50 a bushel to $3.49 a bushel, there was the temptation to wait until it reached $4 a bushel to sell. "When it got to $3.25, any farmer could make money and he should have been selling heavily. But they all thought corn might go to $4 and they didn't want to miss that $4."
Hubers dosen't mind missing the highs. "I want to come out with a good average every year," he says.
A common marketing mistake is to change the program to fit the year. "I try to stick with the same program year in and year out," he says. "I always heavily book."
He's seen the tug and pull of emotions and greed work so often that he's built it into his marketing plan. If corn is at $3.25, but he thinks it's going to go up to $4 because of an early frost prediction in the Midwest, Hubers will spend 8 cents to 10 cents on a call. "That call deals with my emotions and my greed," he laughs. "But the $3.25 contract deals with my needs."
Should prices go higher, Hubers will still capture some of the upward movement. "I'll probably never get the high when prices go real high, but that doesn't worry me near as much as being the low in a year when the prices go really low." He'll buy calls when prices bottom as a hedge against counter-cyclical payments.
He uses the same scale-up strategy with soybeans. He forward contracted about 60 percent of this year's crop at $7.17 per bushel. The other 40 percent of the crop he planted in Group III and Group IV soybeans to harvest at the first of September. Hubers sold those soybeans for a $1 premium, netting $6.75 per bushel. "And now I'm filling my contracts and I've still got $7 beans left to sell."
Twice a month, he has a conference call with a small group of farmers he advises on markets. Before the telephone meeting, Hubers e-mails condensed versions of what the analysts are saying. The rest of the time he spends voraciously poring over anything he can get his hands on regarding marketing.
"The biggest fear about forward contracting that farmers have is, 'What if I don't have a crop to sell?'" Hubers says. "That is a concern, but I've been in the grain business in the past and unless the whole Southeast has a bad crop, there are brokers I can call for a penny a bushel to get my contract filled. If I've got it sold at a good price, I'm going to make money on that portion, even if I'm short."
Hubers acknowledges he's in a somewhat speculative position once he passes the 50 percent forward contracting level, so he waits until the last minute when he knows what kind of crop he has to lock in the remainder. In July, he advised the farmers he consults with to sell the remainder of their crop at $2.40 per bushel before the price slid to $2.05. "They gained about 35 cents per bushel by acting and not just sitting there and hoping that it would come back," Hubers says.
With the onus of marketing out of the way, he can concentrate on growing the crop. This year, he averaged 167 bushels per acre on corn and 52 bushels per acre on soybeans. "This year was my second best corn year ever," Hubers says. "But last year was the poorest crop since I've been farming."
The difference, he says, is marketing. In a good year, he captures the upside of the market. In a bad year, when prices take a dive, his operation doesn't take a dive.
He's totally no-till. On corn, he's looking at 20-inch rows and increasing plant populations. He's gone to early season soybeans to garner premiums and has abandoned wheat in the rotation.

A literary society (fraternity) for kids who are witty as fuck, like to dance, and enjoy literature...or something. ADP kids are artistic, bursting with creativity, make the best of friends, wear awesome clothes, and have the best parties on campus. People think that the society is for hipster brats, but it is actually for kids far cooler than that.

I believe the internet is causing people to become more social awkward. Largely due to social networks like Facebook and Youtube, people are losing the ability to hold a normal conversation. For most, people indulge their laziness by simply typing, "lol" or "rofl" or by simply one wording everything like, "yeah" or "I know right?". Conversations are a thing that require some quick witted-ness, so the rest of the people dull off due to having massive amounts of time to compose a message in reply. Its almost impossible to have a conversation now.
Views: 245
I know, right? lol! just kidding... I'm afraid this isn't something I'm personally aware of, but then again I'm in my mid 40s and and it's not generally something I've noticed among my small circle of friends nor with co-workers for that matter. it could be that I tend to be picky about the people I associate with and I don't have the patience for excessive vacuity, or maybe I'm just lucky not to have experienced this trend yet.
See I am different. I have a smart phone, like most everyone else I use it for facebook and youtube but I also use it to make and receive PHONE CALLS! It almost seems as though people are afraid to speak out loud anymore. Even bosses would rather text their employee's then actually speak to them. I never would have thought this would ever happen to me, but after having not been fired for about 20 years last month I got fired. That isn't even the strangest part. The strangest part is that I got fired via E-mail. I thought, "Really! Are you kidding me?" I really try to speak to people. What hurts is that most of the time people will not speak to me except by written forum.
