Girsch Hints At Saturday's Starter
UPDATE: Following the game on Monday night, Mike Matheny announced Jack Flaherty will get the nod for Saturday's start.
The official announcement has yet to be made, but the St. Louis Cardinals have their internal plan in place for who will fill the open spot in the rotation for Saturday's game at Pittsburgh.
"We have an idea," confirmed General Manager Michael Girsch. "We're going to let things play out the next couple of days and make sure that we never commit to things we can avoid committing to for as long as possible, but yeah, we have a plan."
The opening developed when Adam Wainwright was placed on the 10-day disabled list. Rather than call-up another starter, the decision was made to move the rotation up a full day and go with an extra reliever. That squares away the schedule until Saturday.
"There's three or four Memphis starting pitchers–really, there's five starting pitchers that are all pitching really well and there's three or four of them in the mix," said Girsch.
Among those in the mix are Jack Flaherty and Austin Gomber. John Gant is also likely under consideration. All three pitchers are already on the 40-man roster, which Girsch described as "a significant part" of the decision.
The Memphis Redbirds are off today and their pitching rotation has been changed to TBA on their website. Previously, Flaherty was scheduled to pitch on Wednesday followed by Daniel Poncedeleon, Gant, and then Dakota Hudson on Saturday.
Both Hudson and Poncedeleon would have to be added to the 40-man roster, which would result in the Cardinals exposing a player on waivers or having to work out a trade to create space–similar to a few weeks ago when the team added Jordan Hicks and Francisco Pena to the roster. Pitcher Josh Lucas was traded to Oakland and infielder Breyvic Valera to Los Angeles in exchange for other prospects that didn't have to go on the 40-man.
"It depends on how good the guys that you've DFA'd are," said Girsch of the ease of that type of deal. "The more interest you have in them, the easier it is to find somebody who's willing to give up something that you're interested in. In general, they're not too hard of a deal. They happen pretty fast because by definition that have to happen over the course of only a couple days. Generally, you're just going through another team's organization picking off names that would be a good fit for your minor leagues or a good fit for a roster spot that you have open or whatever and try to find someone that we all agree on."
Holding Gant back a day wouldn't seem to be of big concern and Gomber, who threw yesterday, would be on regular rest.
"He had a great game yesterday afternoon," acknowledged Girsch, of the 16 strikeouts Gomber recorded to tie a Memphis franchise record.
Perhaps the most popular choice amongst fans is to see the return of Flaherty, who allowed one run and struck out nine batters over 5.0 innings against Milwaukee earlier this season. He last threw on Thursday and is 3-0 at Memphis with 22 strikeouts in 20.0 innings. He could pitch a reduced amount tomorrow or just throw a side session, but eight days between starts may not be the ideal.
The question was raised if it would be more beneficial to have Flaherty in the Cardinals bullpen instead of the Memphis rotation.
"It's tough to bring a guy up this early in the season and put him in the bullpen if you want him to be a starter long term," explained Girsch. "Because if he ends up spending too long in the bullpen this year, he doesn't have enough innings to where you're comfortable to build him up for next year.
"It's a little different for an outfielder to come and spend a few weeks or a month with limited playing time because you can always cycle him back down but because we want Jack to be a starter and we expect him to be a starter, it's hard to bring him up and have him only pitching one and two inning stints. It's just hard for sort of his long term career development and everything else. That being said, he's pitched great. Our starters have pitched pretty well too, right? It's a situation where we have a guy who deserves to be in the big leagues somewhere. Look, he's going to be in the big leagues with us at some point this year because barring the unforeseen, no one gets through a season with five starting pitchers so he'll be back."
So does that mean it won't be Flaherty? Or what about Gomber or Gant or one of the other guys?
"We've adjusted the Memphis rotation to fit what we want to have happen on Saturday," said Girsch with a smile. "You guys will figure it out, but we're just not going to announce it until we need to."

CVS Pharmacy technician charged with stealing credit card information
A Massachusetts man has been charged with 20 felony counts of identity fraud after authorities say he stole credit card information while working at a New Hampshire pharmacy.
Police say 22-year-old Bounghange Tang, of Lowell, Massachusetts, was a pharmacy technician at a CVS store in Nashua.
Police say the theft of information occurred between June and December 2016.
Police say he used the information to buy merchandise online and then resell it.
In a statement, CVS said they would conduct a full internal investigation into the matter.
"Mr. Tang has not worked at CVS since mid March. His alleged activities do not reflect the values and commitment to customer service of our store colleagues," the statement said. "We apologize to customers affected by this, and we will conduct the appropriate follow up with them when the authorities share their information with us."
Tang is a student at UMASS Lowell. The school said their campus police department was working in conjunction with the Nashua Police.
In a statement, the school said, "while we can't comment on individual cases, any student accused of a crime is also subject to discipline under the UMASS Lowell student code of conduct."
If convicted, Tang faces up to 15 years in prison for each felony. A phone number for him could not be located Wednesday and it was unclear whether he has an attorney.

ICC CWC'11: Volkswagen celebrates India win with TOI
Volkswagen has been making news with its innovative campaigns, be it the roadblock in The Times of India or creating a stir with the talking newspaper for the launch of its sedan Vento. This time, the automaker has got the 'blues' for its Passat and TOI is once again the vehicle for the campaign.
Volkswagen has been making news with its innovative campaign, be it the roadblock in The Times of India or creating a stir with the talking newspaper for the launch of its sedan Vento. Now, Volkswagen has gone a step further with yet another innovation with its 'Think Blue' campaign for the launch of the all-new Passat with BlueMotion Technologies. The innovation in The Times of India saw the play with the newspaper's masthead with an inclusion of Blue in its name and the biggest coup was to change the font colour of all the news headlines into blue.
The all blue headline coincided with the stupendous win of Men in Blue against Pakistan in the Semi-Final clash of the ICC World Cup. While the entire nation was celebrating India's win, the blue headlines of the newspaper actually looked like a salute to the win for those who were eager to devour all the news on the match and didn't pay much attention to the full page sketch on the front page with just two words 'Think Blue' or even the next page, which talked about 'Think Blue as the new green… It is only on page 3 where half the newspaper is taken by the match stories does one get to see the popular VW logo and the lines: 'Think Blue. Win Blue. Volkswagen congratulates the Indian cricket team. To know more about Think Blue, log on to www.thinkblue.co.in'. So, it's still not clear if VW is just congratulating Indian team or there is a deeper connect until one reaches the last two pages, which talk about the BlueMotion Technologies and the last page, which presents the all-new Passat with BlueMotion Technologies.
As a media observer, Sudha Natrajan, Deputy CEO, Lintas Media Group, commented on the initiative and said, "The campaign rides on the current sentiment of people following the win, but somehow I am not instead of convinced about the creative, which says 'Think Blue is the new green' and cycling instead of driving over the weekend. I feel it's more of a gimmick and less to do with connect with the product. Also, I wonder what would have happened if we had lost as most of the pages must have been planned early, leaving aside just few."
Divya Gururaj, Managing Director, MediaCom India, and the agency handling the media business for the auto major, said, "India's win proved to be great for us in terms of timing of the campaign. The TVC of the campaign made a debut during the match and the print followed the next day. The blue headlines are a celebration of India's win and also introduces VW's 'Think Blue' campaign where one would see a series on innovation throughout the year."
So what if India had not won? Gururaj added, "We had a contingency plan in place, so there was really nothing to worry about."

We adopted 13 year old Robbie in mid January 2019. Our time with him was short, but the memories are infinite. It didn't take long for Robbie to feel right at home with us and his brother Jesse.
We learned quickly that Robbie loved snuggles, food, and walks! Though he was old and a bit slow, he LOVED his walks. He did jumps and twirls when we got his leash out and his smile was undeniable. While on walks, he'd have to stop at every yard to sniff and he loved saying hi to every dog that passed by. I think that was his favorite part.
At home, he would never stay in a room alone. If we got off the couch or bed, he'd follow. In the mornings, as we got ready for work, he'd lay nearby, checking to make sure we were still in there every minute or so.
When it was time for bed, he wasn't shy about making his spot known. He plopped down on the bed and wouldn't budge! He also liked to sneak his way up to our pillows. Little sneaker stinker!
His underbite and floppy ears were our favorite thing about him. He had such a funny and cute little face. He made us smile and laugh every day. We liked to call him Robbie sabi after the Japanese "wabisabi" meaning finding the beauty in the imperfections. Robbie taught us that. Other nicknames included "robber," "Robble," "tater," "little spy," and "baber."
It has been such a hard thing losing precious Robbie. We try to remember that we made his last days happy and comfortable and he knew he was loved. We miss him dearly but will always carry him in our hearts.
Thank you for the love and memories. Rest easy, Robbie.

The Significance Of Pus Cells In Urine
Presence of pus cells in urine is a definite indication of some type of infection. Pus is a whitish or yellowish or slightly green substance which is thick like glue. Pus in urine signifies that the body is fighting an infection in the lower or upper urinary tract. Pus contains dead skin cells, bacteria and white blood cells. The medical term for the pus in urine condition is known as Pyuria and it is a common symptom for various medical conditions. The most common reason for Pyuria is the existence of urinary tract infection. Women are more prone to urinary tract infections. The condition can be quite severe if it affects a man. The urinary tract infections are caused by bacteria entering the urinary tract. The tract consists of the kidneys, urinary bladder, ureters and urethra. The infection can occur at any part of the tract and commonly infections occur in the lower portions such as the urethra and urinary bladder.
Causes Of Pus Cells In Urine
The two most common causes for the presence of pus cells in urine are
- Urinary tract infection or UTI
- Sexually transmitted diseases
Urinary Tract Infection
Pus in the urine makes the urine appear cloudy, frothy or as brown discharge. Pus is produced in the body as the immune system tries to fight against the infection. Diseases such as diabetes increase the chance of urinary tract infection. UTI is common in women as the urethra in women is shorter than in men. This makes it easier for the microorganisms to enter the female urinary tract and cause infection. Twenty percent of the women who have developed UTI will see recurrence in the future.
Sexually Transmitted Diseases
STD's can trigger pus cells in the urine. Men and women are prone to STD's if they have an active sex life and are not cautious in their sexual relationships. Mycoplasma and Chlamydia are the cause for STD's, which in turn cause the presence of pus cells in urine.
Other Causes
Some of the other causes for pus seen in urine are
- Viral infections
- Anaerobic bacterial infection
- Fungal infections
- Chemical poisoning
- Kidney stones
- Fastidious bacteria
- Tuberculosis of the urinary tract
- Infection in prostate glands in men
- Cancer of the urinary organs or genital organs
Sometimes pus cells in urine also result from old age and pregnancy. Certain medications also cause the condition of pus in urine.
The Symptoms Of Pus In Urine
Sometimes there won't be any symptoms of urinary tract infection or the presence of pus in the urine. When the symptoms occur they are as follows
- Foul smelling urine
- Cloudy urine
- Fever
- Frequent urination
- Pain or discomfort while urinating
- Vomiting
- Abdominal cramps
If the pus in urine is caused by UTI the pain may be felt deep inside the bladder or at the tip of the urethra through which the pus cells exits the body. If the pus is formed by STD's, there will be fever, weakness and there will be an overall feeling of being ill.
Complications Associated With Pus Cells In Urine
Depending on the cause of the pus in the urine there are different complications that can occur in a person.
- If the urinary tract infection is left untreated, the infection may reach the kidneys.
- When the infection affects the kidneys the patient become dehydrated, as they cannot keep anything down.
- This situation will lead to kidney problems
- Though UTI's are rare in men, they are prone to more complications.
Hence it is necessary to know about the symptoms of UTI as well as pus cells present in the urine and get it treated by the right method.
Treatment For Pus In Urine
A urinalysis is the useful and cheap diagnostic test for any unexpected substance in urine. Treatment for pus cell in urine depends on the underlying cause.
- According to the underlying cause for the condition the treatment will differ.
- To control infections, doctors may suggest antibiotics
- If the condition is caused by kidney or bladder stones, it is necessary to remove the stones by dissolving it or using any other method
- Drinking plenty of water and fluids will help in removing the pus cells out of the urinary tract
- To get relief from symptoms such as burning sensation while urinating, drink an alkaline mixture
- You can use various home remedies to control the symptoms such as pain, irritation, vomiting etc. and to remove the pus cells
How To Prevent The Condition?
- Take sufficient water, fluids in any form such as juices without sugar, coconut water lemon water etc. helps to remove the infection through urine.
- Avoid spicy foods, coffee, tea etc. if you suspect urinary tract infection
- Bacteria that affect the urinary system pass through stools. So, clean the anus from front to back after defecating
- Another mode of transmission of the bacteria from one person to the other is through sexual intercourse. So, it is necessary to pass urine before and after sexual intercourse and keep the genitals clean.
- Avoid resisting the urge to urinate. Holding the urine for long keeps the harmful bacteria inside the bladder.
Home Remedies For Pus Cells In Urine
The main problem associated with pus cells in urine is the severe pain or burning sensation while urinating and the urine that looks cloudy with pus cells. At early stages it is possible to treat the urinary tract infections using home remedies. Negligence will result in infection of the kidneys which may cause vomiting, chills, back pain, fever etc. There are great numbers of home remedies available for UTI infections and for sexually transmitted diseases, which will help to remove the pus cells from urine.
Cranberry Juice
This is one of the most popular home remedy to control the pus cells in the urine caused by the UTI. The juice of cranberry is acidic in nature and this makes it hard for the bacteria to survive in the body of a person regularly taking cranberry juice. Another component in cranberry called proanthocyanins prevents the bacteria from the adhering to the walls of the urinary tract. Hence the bacteria get removed from the body along with urine. It is necessary that you take unsweetened juice to get faster results. The sugar content in the juice will reduce the acidity of the juice. It is necessary to consume at least 400 ml of juice every day.
Uva Ursi
This herb has antiseptic property. The active component which gives the anti- septic property is called arbutin. This herb is effective in reducing urinary tract infections and thus reducing the pus in urine. This herb has tannin content hence pregnant women should avoid taking this herb. To treat UTI the herb can be used in capsule form or along with tea.
Drink Plenty Of Water
This is one of the cheapest and the easily available remedy to reduce the problem of pus in the urine. Drinking water regularly will help to wash down the bacteria and its removal through urine. This will reduce the infection of the urinary tract. Apart from reducing infection, water dilutes the urine and hence there will be less pain while urinating. To get best result drink 2-3 glass of water every hour.
Avoid Douching
Women should avoid douching if the pus in urine is caused by sexually transmitted diseases. Douching changes the normal pH balance of the vagina and it can flush the infection in the uterus and Fallopian tubes and this will result in pelvic inflammatory disease.
Golden Seal
This herb is effective in treating Chlamydia which is a cause of pus cell in urine. If you think Chlamydia is the reason for your condition you can take this herb in the capsule form. You can consume one or two capsules per day. This herb is capable of stimulating the immune system and boost the defense of the body this will reduce the infection and the formation of pus.
This herb has antimicrobial property and it helps to strengthen the immune system. You can consume it in the form of capsule to treat Chlamydia infection.
Garlic is helpful in the treatment of various health conditions. It can be also used in the treatment of Chlamydia as it has a natural antibiotic effect. You can either consume it in the raw form or you can use as an additive in your food. There are also garlic capsules available in the market which makes it easy for you to swallow it.
Wild Oregano
This is another home remedy to treat Chlamydia. This herb is believed to have antibacterial properties and hence used for the treatment.
Baking Soda
If you are having first signs of urinary tract infection which can lead to formation of pus in urine, try using a mixture of ½ tsp baking soda with eight ounces of water. Drink this mix to maintain the acid-base balance and to prevent the growth of bacteria in the urinary tract.
Cucumber Juice
Cucumber will cool your body and increase the quantity of urine expelled from the body. Take 25ml of cucumber juice three times a day to get rid of a UTI.
Coriander Seeds
Take 10 grams of coriander seeds and soak it overnight in one glass of water. In the morning grind the seeds along with water strain it and drink the infusion mixed with sugar candy. This will help to reduce the infections.
Cinnamon Powder
If you are suffering from pus in urine take 2 grams of cinnamon powder with a glass of water. This will reduce the discomfort and pain during passing the urine
Use Condoms
It is necessary to use condoms while engaging in sexual activities as the UTI's and sexually transmitted diseases are transmitted during sexual intercourse.
Switch To Healthier Diet
It is better to avoid saturated and trans fat in the diet. Eat more fruits and vegetables that will help to boost the immune system.
Practice Good Hygiene
It is necessary to have a hygiene life style to prevent infections and to get rid of the infections. Take daily showers and use herbal products to clean the body. Do not use chemicals or harsh soaps to clean the genital area.
Pomegranate Juice
Like cranberry juice, pomegranate juice also reduces the chances of infection. Drink pomegranate juice on a daily basis to prevent UTI's and to reduce the UTI.
Avoiding Alcohol And Smoking
Avoiding alcohol and smoking will improve the resistance power of the body and the body will be able to fight the infections better. This will reduce the pus formation.
Vitamin C
Vitamin C plays an important role in the immunity of the body to various diseases and infections. Include vitamin C containing fruits and vegetables in your diet like oranges, strawberries, melons, grapes etc.
Yoghurt contains good bacteria called lacto bacilli. Consuming yoghurt will increase the good bacteria in our urinary tract and prevents the bacterial infections of the vagina and urethra.
Green Tea
Green tea is an antioxidant and it will improve the immunity of the body and prepares the body to fight against infections.
Fiber Rich Foods
Fiber rich foods like beans, whole grains, nuts, fruits and vegetables prevent constipation and hence prevent fecal contamination leading to infections.
Pine Apple
Pine apple is another effective remedy for reducing the inflammations caused by UTI. When pineapple is consumed regularly, the enzyme present in it called Bromelain will reduce the urinary tract infection. This enzyme is well known for its anti-inflammatory property. It is necessary to use fresh pineapple pieces or juice to get the best effect.
Tea Tree Oil
The antibacterial properties of tea tree oil help to reduce the infections. Mix 1 tsp of tea tree oil in your bath water and use this water to wash the opening of the urethra to reduce the infection. Repeat the remedy three to four times a day to get faster results.
Are you a person suffering from pain and discomfort due to pus cells in the urine? Are you looking for some ways to control the pain and discomfort? Then try the above remedies. Some infections are difficult to cure with home remedies and if the symptoms persist or worsen get medical attention.

Hiking Costa Rica: El Silencio Arenal Volcano
The El Silencio Mirador Hike Offers Gorgeous Views and Plenty of Wildlife Viewing
Situated in Costa Rica's Northern lowlands, the Arenal Volcano and park provides some of the most stellar hiking experiences you'll find in Costa Rica. Though the volcano has been in a resting phase since 2010, a plethora of plant and animal life, winding trails, hanging bridges, and sweeping views are waiting for you to discover them.
Getting There
From San Jose, travel north to La Fortuna. The El Silencio Trail is located within the nature reserve accessible just outside of town. You can either enter the park on your own, paying the day use fee, or arrange for a tour guide to bring you in on a shuttled tour.
Climate and Topography
The El Silencio Mirador trail will take you winding through the rain forest, to the Mirador (Spanish for "lookout") itself, providing awe inspiring views of the Arenal Volcano and surrounding jungle. The hike is moderate, with stretches of both flat trails and inclines. You should plan for at least two hours to travel the jungle trails, giving yourself more time if you'd like to pay special attention to the animals and scenery along the way.
Temperatures average 75-90 degrees, and as expected, the possibility of rain is almost always present.
Flora and Fauna
Positively teeming with wildlife, the trails of El Silencio offer the amateur zoologist plenty of opportunity to spot any number of the various animals that inhabit the rain forest here. That barking sound off in the distance isn't dogs, but howler monkeys, and you might even encounter tarantulas, lizards, huge beetles, or the adorable White Nosed Coati. The plant life present in the preserve is just as captivating; you'll be enchanted by the forest of trumpet trees, heliconia, hardwood and match trees rising up from a verdant fern carpet.
What to Bring
Supportive footwear is a must for this hike, as is light clothing, preferably in layers. Because this is the rain forest, weather can become inclement without much notice, so packing a light rain coat is always advisable. Take along sunscreen, plenty of water, and insect repellant, and be sure to bring your camera! You'll want to capture the views from the Mirador and any wildlife you find along the way to share when you get back home. No matter what distance or difficulty you're planning on tackling, it's also always advisable to review hiking essentials to ensure your preparedness.

Third year and BTech Fashion students each had to work on a short video clip explaining their design collection and these were put together into a film which was screened to parents, staff and students for the first time.
The "film premiere" took the place of the annual fashion show which the Design Department used to organise for Fashion students to strut their stuff.
Fashion programme leader Annadine Vlok says they had not been able to do the annual fashion in the Multi-purpose Hall on District Six campus for several years so they decided to try something new.
They used the money earmarked for the fashion show to pay CPUT Film & Media students to partner with the Fashion students to create short film clips. The brief was each student had to present their work in a clip that was one to two minutes long.
"It's fresh. No other fashion school makes a film about the students' work in this way. It showcases the garments in a better way," explained Vlok.
The short films ranged in style from short stories to psychedelic, colour-saturated pop-up videos showcasing various garments. Film students matched up garment themes to film techniques, all in service of showing off the clothes the fashion students had designed.
The Fashion lecturers helped the Film and Media students with advice and lecturer Shaun Smith compiled the film, even stepping in to help finish some of the clips.
Vlok said lecturers Jas Myburgh and Walter Buchholz also helped coordinate the films and the programme would definitely try this again next year. They would also work with the Film and Media lecturers to co-ordinate their schedules to make the fashion film project a bridge between the programmes.
The film was played on a loop when the Design students' work was displayed at their year-end display at Media City and will eventually find a home on CPUT's Youtube channel.

My First Story in Shorthand Online Software!
Shorthand is an incredible, and incredibly EASY to use online platform that lets you create multiple web page stories in one vertically sliding web page (URL), full of pictures, videos, text and other objects capable of being embedded online!
If you look at a sample gallery of what news sites, bloggers and others have created with Shorthand, you'll see why I'm calling it the new gold standard for online news. You can use it for longer stories, or for developing stories you can add to as time goes by, like live coverage of a hurricane, for example, to show changes over time and/or document "progress". The BBC and Guardian have recently created some stories I've loved using Shorthand, which is why I gave it a try myself!
Introversion / Extraversion Assessment from Scientific American on Excel
On June 9th, 2014, the Scientific American blog Beautiful Minds had a rather in-depth article called Will the Real Introverts Please Stand Up? about what introversion really meant (and extraversion as the opposite). The term is still highly misunderstood, whether from generic social definitions, or more precise and complex definitions through the works of Myers-Briggs and others following.
In the Beautiful Minds article, they had a 20 question quiz written out. Some score adjustments were then required after you answered, followed by averaging your newly adjusted scores, and averaging two halves of your score if you wanted more information. In this post with an Excel spreadsheet attachment below, I have made this test a lot easier to take. You just answer the questions and flip through the process to see your results! There is a minor summary of your results, but you'd then go back to the original article linked above for the full details.

Important: The information on this website is for experienced investors. It is not advice nor a research or personal recommendation to invest. If you're unsure, please seek advice. Investments are for the long term. They are high risk and illiquid and can fall as well as rise in value, so you could get back less than you invest.

The manager
Although The SideBySide Partnership (SBS) is new to the EIS market, its managing director, John Bailye, has experience in investing and developing early-stage companies. He gained his initial business experience as the founder and CEO of Dendrite International Inc., which floated in 1996 and was sold in 2007 for $700 million. He subsequently helped set up the New Jersey Technology Council which now has approximately 1,500 entrepreneur members, and has made a number of angel investments.
Members of The SideBySide Partnership will potentially look to co-invest in up to 10% of the fund.
Watch a video interview with John Bailye:
Investment strategy
The fund will look to take a hands-on approach with its portfolio. By providing active support and mentoring, SBS hopes to guide management teams around common pitfalls. SBS will help investee companies produce a detailed one-year business plan and then spend at least two days a month mentoring each management team.
SBS plans to evaluate approximately 600 opportunities annually. However, in order to enable the team to provide close support to the investee companies, the fund expects to hold a maximum of eight portfolio companies at any point. Therefore, after the initial portfolio has been put together, it will only invest in a new company once an exit has been achieved.
The fund will focus on businesses whose products or services have enhanced an existing market or created a new one through the application of technology. It will invest across a range of sectors such as FinTech, MedTech and SportTech. The average investment is expected to be up to £200,000, however, the fund may make smaller investments of £50,000 - £100,000 into earlier stage companies if the investment team believes there is sufficient potential.
Risks – important
This, like all investments available through Wealth Club, is only for experienced investors happy to make their own investment decisions without advice.
This is the first iteration of this fund and the SBS Partnership are new to investing within an EIS framework.
EIS investments are high-risk so should only form part of a balanced portfolio and you should not invest money you cannot afford to lose. They also tend to be illiquid and hard to sell and value. Before you invest, please carefully read the Risks and Commitments and the offer documents to ensure you fully understand the risks.
Tax rules can change and benefits depend on circumstances.
This EIS fund invests in early-stage businesses which are more likely to fail than larger ones. So you should expect a number of failures in the portfolio, or even be prepared for all companies to fail.
A summary of the main charges and savings is shown below. Some of these will be payable by the investor, whilst others by the investee companies. The investment may have additional charges and expenses: please see the provider documents, including the Key Information Document, for more details.

|Full initial charge

Collar Special Edition
- Regular price
- Sale price
- from $37.99
- Unit price
- per
The SPECIAL EDITION series showcases timeless elegance and exclusivity. The SPECIAL EDITION collar is handcrafted from especially fine, soft and supple cow Nappa leather with a robust polyamide rope interior for increased strength and durability. Smooth, rounded edges and precise seaming and reinforcement highlight its soft surface sheen and beautifully natural character.
The easiest method of measuring the circumference of the neck of your dog ( A ) is by using a flexible measuring tape placed about midway down the neck. The tape should be fairly tight around the neck without actually restricting the dog. The specifications for adjusting our collars and neckbands always slightly overlap. This ensures that you are not forced to use the first or last hole to find the optimal fitting.
Should the circumference of the neck of your dog be at the upper end of the measurements specified then you can alternatively choose the next larger size. This is especially recommended for dogs that are still growing.
Our collar sizes (e.g. size. 30) relate to the total length of the material used without taking the buckle and the fastener into consideration. It should be noted that when considering the range of adjustments the first value relates to the smallest and the second value to the largest adjustment possible.
If you don't know the measurements of your pet, Hunter Pet Store has put together a size table of popular breeds to help ensure you select the correct size for your pet.
The Highest Standards For Pet Accessories
Quality is the most important for us. Our passion for quality does not just apply to our products. We want to bring joy to people and animals and visibly express their profound bond. Our understanding of quality also determines our interpersonal communication. It is shaped by dependability, loyalty, partnership and responsibility. You can rely on us, on those who work for Hunter, and the products we make. Always.

In his paean to vegetables, chef Jim Christiansen grills, blanches, sautés and pickles a wide array to dip in his warm, silky, buttery anchovy sauce. Slideshow: More Healthy Vegetable Recipes
How to Make It
Place the shiitake caps in a small heatproof bowl. In a saucepan, bring the vinegar, salt, sugar and 1/2 cup of water to a simmer, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Pour the brine over the mushrooms; let stand for 15 minutes. Drain and squeeze dry. Discard the brine.
In a blender, puree the dill with the oil until smooth. Strain through a fine sieve into a small bowl and season with salt.
In a small saucepan, cook the anchovies, garlic and lemon juice over low heat, stirring, until the anchovies dissolve, 5 minutes. Whisk in the butter a few cubes at a time. Stir in the dill. Cover; keep warm.
Light a grill. In a bowl, toss the summer squash, cucumber and shallots with the canola oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill over moderately high heat, turning, until the vegetables are lightly charred and crisp-tender: 5 minutes for the cucumber and shallots, 8 minutes for the squash. Transfer the vegetables to plates; add the mushrooms.
Meanwhile, in a saucepan of salted boiling water, blanch the green beans until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Drain and cool under cold water; pat dry.
In a large skillet, melt the butter. Add the green beans and radishes and cook over moderate heat until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes and cook for 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to the plates with the vegetables. Drizzle some of the dill oil on top and garnish with the herbs. Serve with the bagna cauda, the remaining dill oil and bread.

Rolling the closing costs into your loan so that you don't have to bring in money at signing is an option in a refinance. For a purchase loan, closing costs may not be rolled into a loan. Most home owners refinancing do roll in closing costs; but then again, most do not consider doing it any other way.
Closing Costs On A 300K Home For example, if the house costs 300,000 dollars a buyer should expect to pay approximately three to twelve thousand dollars at closing. Mortgage-Investments.com has a closing costs calculator that can be used to help figure out closing costs. At closing there will be numerous papers to sign during closing.
BEST ANSWER You can't really "wrap" closing costs into the mortgage, but you can ask the seller to pay your closing costs, but offer a higher purchase price. (which would essentially give you a larger mortgage and no out of pocket expenses, except for the 3% down). You should talk to your lender and Realtor about this.
The veteran is limited to the types of closing costs that may be paid, helping the. But if there are costs associated with a VA mortgage and the veteran isn't.
Roll it into the mortgage. If you don't have plenty of cash on hand, you can roll your closing costs into your mortgage. closing costs are generally a tiny amount of money compared to your mortgage.
What Fees Can Be Rolled Into a Mortgage | Pocket Sense – The costs of the mortgage in addition to the closing costs, broker costs and other related fees can add up quickly. In some cases, you may be able to roll certain costs of the mortgage into the mortgage loan itself rather than having to pay the fees out of pocket at the closing table.
Some FHA lenders may tout "no closing costs" mortgages. Once again, there is no such thing as a free gift from lenders, but this type of mortgage involves a higher interest rate in return for the closing cost payments. If you refinance your home within a few years, you can come out ahead with a no closing cost mortgage.

Rolling your closing costs into your mortgage means you are paying interest on the closing costs over the life of the loan. For example, say your closing costs are $10,000 and your mortgage has an interest rate of 4% over a 30-year term. Your monthly mortgage payment would increase by almost $48 per month, and you would pay $17,187 over the term.

Seahawks vs. Falcons Preview
On RG3 and Player Safety
How can the league that trumpets "player safety" allow what went on in Landover, Maryland Sunday?
How can the league that runs commercials during its games, bragging about how much money it has earmarked for medical research, allow what happened to one of its bright young stars Sunday?
How can the league that has an entire website that boasts about the "evolution" of the game and its increased player safety, leave medical decisions in the hands of a 60-year-old coach and a 22-year-old rookie, rather than in the hands of perhaps the most respected medical figure in the sports world, as is alleged to have happened during the Redskins vs. Ravens game on December 9, 2011, according to USA Today and Yahoo Sports reports?
After watching Robert Griffin III limp, hobble and grimace in pain Sunday night during the Redskins vs. Seahawks game, all of these questions and more ran through my mind, and likely through the minds of everyone who watched.

One line belongs to a player who led a 10-6 team to the playoffs. The other belongs to the signal-caller for a 9-7 team that will be watching playoff games form their couch this weekend.

When Celsius is manufactured an 'Easy Clean' coating is applied.
This coating becomes an integral part of the surface through strong bonding, which gives exceptional resistance to weathering, atmospheric pollution and staining.
Celsius performance glass does require cleaning but less frequently than standard glass. It is recommended that the glass be cleaned using warm soapy water.

NB. Do not use any product that is abrasive, as this will scratch the surface of the glass, resulting in the removal of the coating.

I don't know about everyone else, but I have noticed that fashion has been weird lately…actually, for a long time now I feel like. I've been frustrated shopping and can't ever seem to find anything new that I like, or that I find unique. I get tired of all the black and dull winter colors…I need brights and fun patterns!
BUT, with the arrival of colder weather, I've really grown a liking to vests! A basic material and color can be a great foundation and layer piece to your winter outfits. Dress them down, or dress them up, they are a simple and warm way to complete your winter attire!

Everyone loves a good success story, and it's even better when it's a David and Goliath story about the underdog winning. But more often, contemporary entrepreneurs can learn more from history and studying strategies that fail—"Never get involved in a land war in Asia," as they say in The Princess Bride. Let's look at five of the most famous business failures in American history. What did these companies do wrong and what can you take away from their experiences?
5. The Edsel: Ford's disastrous flop.
The Edsel began life in the early 1950s as the new premier line of automobiles from the Ford Company and launched with huge fanfare on September 4, 1947—promoted by Ford as "E Day." The thing even had its own television special featuring Frank Sinatra and Rosemary Clooney. By the time Ford closed the book on the car in 1959, the initiative had cost the company $250 million, which would equal over two billion dollars in contemporary currency.
Lesson learned: The Edsel was a victim of its own marketing and its moment in American history. In short, it was the right car for the wrong time. As one Ford executive euphemistically summed it up: "The aim was right but the target moved."
4. Betamax
Oh, the heady days of the early recorder wars. Betamax was introduced by Sony as a video recording format in 1975, followed a year later by VHS, introduced in the United States by RCA. They were immediately locked into a competitive format war. Betamax was arguably a better technical format but RCA beat Sony in the marketing arena and created better economies of scale. By the mid-1980s it was all over but the crying for Betamax.
Lesson learned: Nothing lasts forever. Both Betamax and VHS are both long-dead, having been augmented first by cable television and digital recorders and eventually replaced entirely by Internet-based streaming services."
3. Sharper Image
Is there any brand that represents the excesses of the 1980s better than Sharper Image? Founded in 1977 as a catalog to sell jogging watches, the company grew into a high-end electronics store selling expensive gizmos to wealthy yuppies. But as the world grew more and more sophisticated and many applications were folded into smartphone technology, The Sharper Image quickly became irrelevant. The company died a quiet death in bankruptcy in 2008, forcing shoppers to buy their expensive brushed-steel nose hair trimmers elsewhere.
Lesson learned: Stay ahead of the culture curve. As futurist Faith Popcorn says, "Just before consumers stop doing something, they do it with a vengeance."
2. Polaroid
The most famous, cool and ultimately retro applications of point-and-shoot technology had to be Polaroid's famous cameras. The company was formed in 1937 to take advantage of its Polaroid polarizing polymer, and then spent the next 70 years pawning off its instant cameras on everyone from nuclear families to hipster artists. But all things must end and after multiple bankruptcy filings following 9-11, the company's assets went up for auction in 2009.
Lesson learned: All products, even super-cool instant cameras that make your girlfriend look like an angel in soft focus, have a natural lifespan. Know when your time has come.
1. Pan Am
Pan American World Airways, better known as Pan Am, was a marvel of its age. Founded in 1927, the airline grew to represent American ingenuity and style with its jumbo jets, high-class air stewardesses, and its sophisticated blue logo. But the company suffered in the wake of the 1973 oil crisis and the company's fate was sealed with the 1986 hijacking of Pan Am Flight 73 in Pakistan and the 1988 terrorist bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 above Lockerbie, Scotland. Unable to forge on in the midst of multiple crises, the airline stopped flying in December, 1991.

Iron Will
Love, respect, and determination intermingled with the Whistler mountain air Sunday.
Joining a long string of bikes making their way to Rainbow Park post dawn – fellow spectators – there was an ominous mix of expectation, hope and worry. A knowledge that there would be achievement tinged with pain. There would be victors and at the same time carnage. Dreams realized, but at significant cost.
I had butterflies in my stomach. And I was only watching.
Someone had told me spectating an Ironman was hard work, which I found slightly ridiculous. But they were right. It's not the jockeying for prime position around the transitions that is hard, it's the wide range of emotions you experience. From incredulity to disbelief. Whether you are watching the pros streamlining down the highway or willing someone to take another step just by clapping hard.
It was, in its own way, grueling.
I wondered, as I watched an older man in incredible pain limping along the run course at the fourteen hour mark, what was possibly motivating him to set out for the second thirteen mile lap. What could inspire someone to strap on a headlight once darkness fell, knowing they had entered the water before the sun had risen. Behind every athlete, their unique story. Because even the ones who looked fresh on race day had suffered at some point of their arduous training.
A day of dichotomy. At times I watched perfectly sculpted super humans gliding past, while at others I watched softer forms in various stages of struggle. At the finish line some athletes sat on picnic benches and chatted with family, while 20 meters away the medical tent overflowed with salty casualties awaiting IV's or wheelchairs.
Some athletes bounced away from the finish line, while others were carried.
One thing they all shared was the courage to try. Every face etched with resolve. Evey face.
On top of all that, this.
Euphoria at watching my friend rocking a race that I will never attempt. Chrissy, who I try to persuade to have another glass of wine, stay out later, come hang at the beach for a while. She quietly sacrifices these leisurely moments in order to train, making various excuses but never complaining. She chose her dedicated path, and on Sunday, was rewarded.
Tenacious despite fatigue. Focused and unwavering, she was the fourth superwoman to cross the line. I went to cheer her on, but every time I saw her on the course, getting it done, my throat closed up and I couldn't squeak out a word of encouragement. A spectating fail. Amazed, I could only gawk at her strength.
Incredibly proud of Chrissy, and my other friends who not only finished Ironman, but achieved new milestones. In fact, props to everyone who attempted this test of mettle. Not only are you an Ironman, you are proof positive that we are capable of incredible things.
My Craigslist Posse
If you build it, they will come. And if you post it on Craigslist, they might also come. Mostly, with the exception of a few no-shows. They've arrived from all over, with varied stories. It's the randomness that I love. Everyone is creating their own field of dreams, and it's fascinating to be a part of it, for an infinitesimal moment in time.
In preparation for our move, I'm selling our furniture. It worked well enough in this house, but will look like it took a wrong turn in our new, smaller space. We'd have to inch ourselves around it, and let's face it, life has enough obstacles.
I took a picture of the items in question and posted to Craigslist. Before I could make my tea, I received responses.
A student from UBC was overjoyed to pick up a $50 espresso maker. A guy drove an hour to pick up our upholstered ottoman, which would be so much safer for his two-year old son. A young couple came for our dining room furniture, and when I describe them with rosy cheeks, it is no exaggeration. They loaded up their truck with our table and chairs underneath a huge tarp, and I could almost hear the Beverly Hillbillies theme song playing as they drove away, the optimism that beamed through their skin.
Eric from South Korea came to put a deposit on our bedroom furniture; I'm worried our moving date was lost in the translation. I'm hoping he's coming back before the movers.
Another UBC student, Sophy, sold everything a year ago to travel the world, and is now re-furnishing from scratch. I was dying to ask her about her travels but she was wringing her hands about our loveseat, I didn't dare distract her.
And then there was Leon.
In his email, he mentioned he was just starting out. When he came to pick up our armoire with his father, I was surprised to see he was roughly my age. His father was a talker, though Leon was not. He explained that Leon's family, his wife and two children, had lost everything a few months ago when their rental house went up in smoke. Leon had been watching the Canuck's game, when his youngest daughter got out of bed complaining of being hot. As it turned out, that was because there was a raging inferno on the other side of her wall. They had four minutes to get out of their house – the lint in the dryer needed to be emptied from the back of the dated appliance, Leon said wryly. They escaped unharmed physically, but will wear emotional scars for years to come; his children now terrified of going to sleep.
Leon's quiet determination to rebuild a comfortable space for his family was the face of courage itself.
The twenty-odd things I've sold on Craigslist have all gone to great people, I was happy to meet and chat to each of them. My first and only potential scammer arrived tonight, via Stephen, who sent me the following email:
Thanks for the mail, I will like to purchase your item note you will not be responsible for the handling and shipping of the item, my shipping company will come to your location for the pick up kindly confirm to me with your full name and address so that I can have it forward to the shipping company for them to calculate the shipping cost to me for the shipping to commence on time right?
Dude, I wasn't born yesterday. And if you're planning on scamming people, you might want to lose the form letter approach, it's a dead give away.
Bravery Ends Where the Dentist Begins
If I've learned one thing as a parent, it is how to nonchalantly cajole my children into situations that – if I were in their shoes – would cause me to quiver more than the cellulite on my thighs.
Whether it concerns skiing down an icy pitch or eating lima beans, I begin by reassuring them they will live to tell the tale, and that it will be good for them in the end. In the middle I may regale them with stories (completely fabricated) to send my point home. And although I try to avoid it, it usually ends with a bribe. The turnaround time from patiently explaining attributes to desperately tempting them with candy is about one minute.
I have this act down-pat: "Be brave! You can do it! I watched a two-year old do this last week! Seriously, we will celebrate with Skittles when this is all said and done." Change a few nouns, adjectives and bribes, and this accounts for most of my conversational life.
Yet, when I find myself in their shoes and on equal footing, I crumble faster than my shortbread recipe. Since the show must go on, meaning they must be tricked into various scenarios, I have resolved to never let them witness my cowardice. You know that old adage, "Never let them see you sweat?" After my recent trip to the dentist, I have adapted this to "Never let them see me with a dental dam." If they saw how their tough-talking mother behaved, I would never be able to drag them to the dentist again.
My dentist has been wanting to replace one of my fillings for five years. I have put it off for excellent reasons: I'm too busy, I tell him. There are groceries to be bought, children to be chauffeured, nails to be filed. He usually rolls his eyes, but this time he wouldn't waiver, and booked me for the following day. Something about a crack and an emergency – he wouldn't take no for an answer.
Before I could vigorously floss my teeth to remove a week's worth of sesame seeds, I was back at the dentist, waiting for the major procedure. Replacing a filling is not as easy as it sounds. It involves needles. And pain.
They called my name and the funniest thing happened: I found I was rooted to my seat, and rendered immobile. I did, however, manage to overcome my sudden nausea and held on to my digesting oatmeal. The dental hygienist was smiling and gesturing, and all I could do was shake my head and babble. The receptionist got involved, and then my children's hygienist, Molly, walked by. For ten years she has witnessed me encouraging/bribing my children, and she got a kick out of seeing me on the receiving end of the drill. Pun intended.
Sometimes it takes a village, but that day it took an office to get me to walk down the hall to my very own torture chair. I asked William, my dentist, to explain the procedure, and once he finished his detailed answer I asked him to explain it again, slowly this time, at which point they bound and gagged me with the dental dam. Before they snapped the plastic in place, I begged him to be liberal with the happy gas, and encouraged him to be all he could be, professionally, on this day.
I attempted to lose myself in an old episode of 'Friends' that was playing on the ceiling as they pricked and prodded and drilled and suctioned. The happy gas made me a little loopy, but it's no champagne. I tried my best to breathe through the plastic and keep my drool in check, and when things got dicey I quelled my screams by digging my fingernails into the arms of the torture chair they thoughtfully provided. I vaguely recall Molly and the receptionist peeking in to see how I was faring. Finally – sooner than I expected – they were done, and although my mouth was frozen into a sideways elliptical shape, I was free to go.
As I sprinted down the hall, I thought what doesn't beat you makes you stronger, and congratulated myself on my valiant effort. Then William called after my retreating backside, "The temporary tooth is beautiful – just avoid solids on that side until we do the other half of the procedure."
The receptionist handed me a tissue for the saliva that was dribbling down my chin. Seeing the sorrow in my eyes, she fed me the same annoying line I feed my children, "Don't worry, it will be over before you know it!"
