What to do when you are on H4 status?
The fact that H4 visa holders cannot work in the US is not only unfair, I think it borders on human rights violation. For a developed country like the US, full of immigrants, such a restriction is unimaginable. I would equate it to putting someone in prison – mentally. We hear about green card process delays, CIR bill, Health care reform bill, etc. but few talk about the plight of H4 visa holders – spouses of H1 visa holders that cannot work in the US at all. Even if they are the smartest bulb in the world. Even if it were a doctor who could save someone's life or an inventor who could give America the next amazing invention. Imagine you had this AMAZING idea or you finally found your life's calling but you were on the H4 visa. What would you do? I am the entrepreneurial type and I know that if I were in such a situation, I would almost go mad. I think I'd leave the country. But for many, that's not an option.
I wrote about the Top 10 issues faced by immigrants in the US earlier. The H4 work authorization issue was #3. All the top 3 are probably worthy of being #1 in their own accord.
So, given such a mind-numbing restriction and the fact that you might have to live in such a handicap for years, what are your options? Legally, you can't work at all. But there are gray areas. On EndlessWait.com, we care a lot about ethics and would NEVER suggest something that's in violation of the law in any way. But those that have experienced what H4 visa holders go through will agree that finding acceptable workarounds is their only choice. So here you go.
While you are on H4, there are some things you can do:
1. Get Educated: This is the safest option. H4 visa holders can go to school but after you graduate, you can't really work unless you transition your visa to a H1-B visa, which is an option. Most take this route. But there are many that either don't want further schooling, can't afford it, or already have advanced degrees from their foreign countries.
2. Work on something that you can release after you get your work authorization. For example, write a book that you can publish after you get the green card of some work authorization. Or you can release that through a publisher in your home country. Another idea is to plan for a business that you will start when you do get work authorization. For instance, you can try various recipes at home and take classes to become a chef. Once you get your work authorization, you can open your own little restaurant & then with all these years of research you have put into it, you're much more likely to succeed than the hundreds of restaurants that open up without much of a plan or a well thought out menu.
3. Invest in stocks: You are allowed to invest in businesses, just not work for them. As long as you are not day trading (meaning you make more than 5 trades per week), you are ok. There are several other things you can trade in such as mutual funds (more passive but also less control and more fees involved), forex, Etc. but stocks are the easiest place to start. If you have $25k to start an acocunt with, you could use Zecco.com – they offer free trades at that level. You don't have to invest all $25k into stocks, just place that amount into your account and you get free trades. Also, you can PRACTICE investing in stocks at http://www.zeccozimulator.com and several other similar sites on the web. These sites give you fake money to test your trading strategies with. If you are new to trading stocks, I highly recommend working with these for at least a month before trading in real money.
4. Peer to Peer Lending: You can lend money to other fellow Americans at LendingClub.com or Prosper.com. This new trend in Finance is called Peer to Peer investing and is a rage among new age investors. It's been proven to work. The tough part with these is to spend time analyzing loan applicants and making sure you lend to the right people that do repay your loan with interest as you'd expect. The trick is to lend small amounts of money ($100 or so) to a large number of loans. These sites allow hundreds of people to pool their money together to satisfy a loan so your portion of risk is limited. It's a great concept and the key to success in there is TIME. Most people don't have that but you guys on H4 to. Capitalize on it. Between these 2 sites, I think LendingClub has the edge as of this post but that's a personal opinion. You can create accounts with both for free.
5. Invest in Businesses (be a small-time venture capitalist): This may not sound like the typical thing most people do but it's a very real opportunity out there. You could analyze business opportunities that are out there and when you find a good one, acquire it (fully or in part) and take a passive ownership interest in the business where you invest money into it but don't work. It's like investing in stocks, but only here you invest directly into a small business. The reason this works better for some is because you are more in control of what you are placing your money on. The hard part often times is the TIME that it takes to evaluate and find the right business to invest into. Of course, you need the money to invest but there's ways to raise that if you feel confident that a business is worth it. There are businesses out there looking for investors for as little as $1000 investment.
You can look at businesses that are up for sale at http://bizbuysell.com, http://www.businessesforsale.com, Etc. These sites have forums where people post business ideas and ask for venture investment all the time.
The gray area here is that you can't work for the business!! You can spend all the time in the world browsing the Internet finding the right business to invest in. But once you acquire it or sign a deal with them, you need to step back and let your active partner do ALL the work. It's not easy, but doable if you are careful.
5. Volunteer: This one is gray area. The law is not clear (as far as I know and I am NOT a lawyer), about whether you can work without pay while on H4. What is work without pay really? So if you saw someone dying on the street, is helping them "working"? If that's not working, then why is any other form of voluneteering any different. Work for a friend or family member for free or in exchange for compensation in some form other than money. Perhaps they could buy you a cruise trip, Etc. Again, this is gray area but oh well, I would do it if I had to.
Hope this helps some of you. It doesn't erase the frustrating position the law puts you in. But we've all got to work with the constraints life throws at us. Some of us are luckier than others. You made the choice to come to the US. Make the best of the choices you do have…

Working parents have it bad in these states
Find out how your state ranks when it comes to providing workplace protections for new parents.
This post comes from Krystal Steinmetz at partner site Money Talks News.
This likely comes as no surprise to working moms and dads, but workplace protections for new parents in the U.S. are limited.
In fact, the U.S. ranked last out of 38 countries in a Pew Research Center report on government-supported time off. Top-ranked Estonia offers two years of paid leave for new mothers, but the median amount of paid time off for new moms was five or six months. The U.S. offers no paid leave.
Now a study by the National Partnership for Women and Families (.pdf file) provides a state-by-state analysis of laws that help new parents. The "Expecting Better" report paints a bleak picture of the reality for new moms (and dads) in 17 states across the U.S. -- all of which earned an F for their laws (or lack thereof) that help new parents. Overall, 1 in 3 U.S. states received a failing grade when it comes to their support of new parents.
The U.S. has just three federal laws pertaining to workplace protections for parents: the Family and Medical Leave Act, the Pregnancy Discrimination Act, and a provision of the Affordable Care Act that offers security for moms who want to continue to breastfeed after they return to work, The Huffington Post said.
While some states have improved upon the minimal federal laws by approving state laws that protect new moms -- like a flexible working environment, pregnancy accommodations and paid leave -- most states don't. According to HuffPo:
"New mothers and fathers should not have to experience financial hardship at what should be one of the happiest times of their lives," wrote National Partnership president Debra L. Ness in a recent Huffington Post blog. "And a growing body of evidence shows that ensuring new parents and all workers have access to family friendly policies like paid sick days and paid family and medical leave has widespread benefits for the health and economic security of families and the strength of businesses and the economy."
The states that received an F grade are: Alabama, Arizona, Delaware, Georgia, Idaho, Kansas, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Utah and Wyoming.
Those that received high praise are: California, Connecticut, Hawaii, New Jersey and the District of Columbia. California is rated the best state for working parents to raise a family. California is the only state that passed with an A, albeit an A-.
California offers the best protections on a spectrum that includes laws governing paid and unpaid family and medical leave, laws that allow pregnant women to continue working, laws that give women time to recover from childbirth, sick days, and laws that help nursing mothers.
The National Partnership for Women and Families report concluded:
The United States cannot wait any longer for public policies that honor new parents and their children. Paid leave policies, more substantial access to unpaid family and medical leave, paid sick days, pregnancy accommodation laws and other family friendly policies yield benefits for workers, families, employers, communities and the economy. Despite the imperative for change and the progress states have made over the last several years, progress has been slow. Without question, the toll taken by inaction is high.
Click here (.pdf file) for a state-by-state analysis of workplace protections for new parents.
When my kids were born, I was fortunate to be able to take 12 weeks of mostly paid leave from my workplace. With just eight employees, my employer wasn't required by the FMLA to give me 12 weeks off. But it did let me use my earned annual and sick leave, as well as some donated sick hours from my co-workers, so I could spend time at home with my newborn babies. I will forever be grateful for that time and the flexibility of my employer.
Do you think it's shameful that the U.S. lags so far behind other countries when it comes to workplace protections for parents?

"New mothers and fathers should not have to experience financial hardship at what should be one of the happiest times of their lives,"
It's not the employer's responsibility to financially support a person's choice to have kids. Before popping out kids, live in a cheap efficiency apartment or rent a room, work two or three jobs, and save up a bunch of money to cover expenses during the time off.
Capitalism sterilizes humans to death.
As europe has converted to capitalism, and since free traded its factories to slave-wage countries(China, India, Malaysia etc) , Europe has seen its birth rates also fall to record lows, like America.

- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/27/2014We had a nice time. The food was good and the service was good. The view is incredible and the skies and weather cooperated. It was a special occasion for the night my birthday! The only downside to the evening was the noise level. I found it to be very loud which made it difficult to carry on a conversation with my party of 6. We sat at around table which was fine. I would consider returning for a lunch or a brunch perhaps it would not be so loud. Otherwise the facility and grounds are gorgeous!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- This place grows on you!OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 9/27/2014The Chef has not disappointed me or any of my friends or guests. Not only is the presentation an artistic delight, but the wonderful blend of mouth watering flavors keeps me coming back. The service is superior. I feel well attended to without being too frequently interrupted. That kind of service is also an art. Whether I am seated in one of the dining areas or enjoying something from the menus at the bar, my dining experience has been nothing short of an A+! The bartenders are top notch - quite knowledgeable and pleasantly friendly. I have attended several special parties on the premises and have noted how smoothly the service flows. I can just relax with a cocktail at the bar or have a meal. A perfect place! I'm spoiled!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- When you want to be treated well...NolliDined on 9/20/2014Highlawn Pavilion is a restaurant that everyone should experience at least once. A diner is treated well there. Your every dining need is waited on and supplied promptly. The food is delicious, but the portions are small for the price. The ambiance is excellent as is the scenic view from your window. For a special occasion, I would highly recommend Highlawn Pavilion.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always a pleasureSelmaAnneVIPDined on 9/19/2014I took a friend and our daughters on a Friday night for a special, shared birthday, dinner. The view is beautiful and my friends, being from California, loved it. The food is always perfect, but that night my steak was overcooked. I told the server who took care of it quickly and courteously and also brought me a cocktail on the house while I waited--a nice touch. When our desserts came they had a chocolate with "happy birthday" written on it and a birthday candle. Another very nice touch. I had just been at Highlawn Pavillion with other friends the weekend prior and was very happy to go back. I look forward to another wonderful meal there soon.Special Features:

There is a wide range of wine and liquor choices, along with a somewhat limited beer choices. Well worth our visit as our palates came alive with the well balanced and tasty ingredients in our meals. The Highlawn isn't any more expensive than going to fine restaurant in NYC. We enjoyed our entire evening and will continue to return.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Bad Experiencest8kluvrDined on 8/30/2014I have to tell you this was my 3rd time at your restaurant and I was very displeased. I ordered the steak and although I was coming there to get the Colby steak I always get you didn't have it. I ordered the sirloin steak and found it to be nothing special. But the part that really upset me was when they brought me my car, they held the door for me and not my lady friend like I would have expected. My date came all the way from Florida to have dinner with me at your restaurant and when they brought her food the plate was so hot it hurt her hand. I would have expected more then food under a hot lamp in a place like yours. My date has the pasta with seafood combo and the pasta was good but the seafood smelled bad and didn't taste good.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A 50th birthday to rememberDianeDreyVIPDined on 8/29/2014Took my sister and five friends out to celebrate her half century... and absolutely perfect choice. The room is magnificent and the skyline view magical. The food was very good - and better than I was expecting since the restaurant does a lot of big catering and had a wedding going on that evening. I enjoyed a tasty seafood pasta dish, and everyone liked the creative desserts. Our waiter was exceptionally nice, attentive, kept the wine flowing, and handled a few special requests. We never felt rushed, although we were the last ones in the dining room.Special Features:
- ServiceOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/28/2014As a professional, i would say the food its was amazing, however the all waitress gave the impression was not happy with a little attitude.

Started at the bar and the bar tender was slow on service but poured a great drink. The service at the table was great. Food overall was better than average but there is much better food in North Jersey. Prices were as to be expected. Dessert was a low point. Ordered the Carmel pecan apple cake. Really disappointing. Sara Lee is better and a lot less expensive. Everyone's comments were the same. Food was above average, would go back, wouldn't rush to go back.

- Great but not perfectrighteyeDined on 8/11/2014We have very high standards at the Highlawn Pavilion, based on all of our past experiences dining here. The food is always superior as is the ambiance. We came on a Monday evening and perhaps the staff was lighter than usual so it seemed that our waiter was being overextended? We had to ask for our drinks twice and waited quite awhile for our bill. The waiter was wonderfully attentive when he was at our table, so I really do not fault him. We also had the misfortune of dining on the same evening that a family with 4 little ones was there and though I am a preschool teacher and love little children, it did make the room noisier than I am used to, at such a fine establishment.Special Features:
- Always pleasesHungryCommuterDined on 8/9/2014Another lovely meal at the Highlawn. The Osso Bucco was tender and flavorful, and the Scottish Salmon was cooked to perfection and looked picture-perfect with crispy skin on top. The lightly roasted beets, celery root, and other root vegetables were surprisingly light, but absolutely delicious. It was a beautiful night to take in the scenic view of the surrounding reservation with the New York skyline as the backdrop from our window seats.Special Features:

After a nice drink on the patio outside the bar with a very personable waiter Thomas, we sat down to a delicious meal with prompt service.

Leadership MLS
Graduates Class of 2007
Break out the caps and gowns. Cue the Elgar march.
"Leadership MLS," a program designed to prepare young members of the Metropolitan Library System staff for their futures as professionals, graduated the class of 2007 on December 19. The eight members of the class included Julie Ballou (materials selector), Kellie Bradford (planning services specialist), Kelley Hoffman (benefits manager), Heidi Port (volunteer coordinator), John Utley (computer operations supervisor), Sam Weehunt (librarian), Emily Williams (young adult services coordinator), and Kristin Williamson (associate librarian).
"We hope that every one of our graduates will stay with the Metropolitan Library System for their careers," said MLS Employment Development Coordinator Stacy Schrank, "but that commitment wasn't one of the criteria by which we selected this great group. We looked for those work and character traits that let us know each of them was a bright and hard worker with an eye to the future."
The Leadership MLS team has been meeting for several months to discover things about themselves and their colleagues that were both surprising and worthy of development.
"Being able to work with such dedicated, motivated, enthusiastic people has been the highlight of my experience with Leadership MLS," said Emily Williams. "By playing off each others strengths, I think our group was able to develop projects that will truly benefit the library system. I know we will continue to be a source of support and guidance for each other as we set our goals for the future."
"One of the greatest benefits of the Leadership program is the opportunity it provides for everyone to step out of their own corner of the library system and learn more about how the rest of the system works," added Julie Ballou.
The Metropolitan Library System congratulates all graduates of its Leadership MLS program for 2007.

fantastic buy I had been looking for a strapless bra that would give me complete support. I tried on others at different stores and no matter how high the price was, nothing helped. I have cervical neck nerve impingement which does not allow me wearing any straps on my shoulders. I bought two of this bra and I have felt so much better and I LOOK better in t-tops,blouses, etc. The price was so good! From now on, David's Bridal online is where I am going to purchase my bras! My son and his fiancee are getting married 8/22/2015 and David's Bridal is going to be my "place" for long line strapless support and I just know I am going to find my Mother-of-the-Groom dress at David's,too! I have started browsing the web site and already have "My Favorites" saved!!! July 10, 2014
Great Bra I recently purchased this product online. I was skeptical about purchasing my first ever strapless bra online, I was surprised when it was delivered that yes it did fit. So it is very true to size. It is surprisingly very comfortable as well. What a great buy. November 30, 2012
Take a chance I am wide around the ribs, but smaller in the boobs (42B) so I have a very difficult time with bras. I ordered this one hoping it would work for me. I am so excited it fits perfectly. It's comfortable, stays in place and is pretty to boot! I am so loving this bra. =) Take a chance ladies...you won't be disappointed. January 10, 2012
Horrible-You get what you pay for I knew this was too good to be true-steer clear of this bra ladies. It provides NO support, is flimsy and not worth even $10. The padding is thin, too. I highly recommend paying more money for a better bra. December 6, 2011

Say: weez
A wheeze is the whistling sound air makes when your breathing tubes are narrowed. This is what happens during an asthma flare-up. If the breathing tubes get too narrow, a person may have trouble breathing. Sometimes you can hear someone wheeze, but usually a doctor needs to listen to a person's lungs with a stethoscope to hear wheezing.

'Strong and Under the Radar' stocks tend to be worthwhile stocks to watch for a variety of factors including historical back testing and price action. Market technicians refer to such stocks as being in an accumulation phase before a mark-up and peak. Traders and hedge funds have frequently found that these types of stocks continue to build a solid price base and then ultimately spike higher and peak when others 'discover' how good the stock is performing. By leveraging the social discovery aspect of StockTwits we are highlighting stocks that don't currently receive much attention from retail investors, but we suspect may soon garner more attention. EXCLUSIVE OFFER: Get the inside scoop on opportunities in BEAM with the Ticky from Trade-Ideas.

STOCKS TO BUY: TheStreet Quant Ratings has identified a handful of stocks that can potentially TRIPLE in the next 12 months. Learn more. TheStreetRatings.com Analysis: TheStreet Quant Ratings rates Beam as a buy. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its revenue growth, good cash flow from operations, largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures, solid stock price performance and expanding profit margins. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company has had sub par growth in net income. Highlights from the ratings report include:
- BEAM's revenue growth has slightly outpaced the industry average of 3.4%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues slightly increased by 4.3%. This growth in revenue does not appear to have trickled down to the company's bottom line, displayed by a decline in earnings per share.
- Net operating cash flow has increased to $309.70 million or 16.60% when compared to the same quarter last year. The firm also exceeded the industry average cash flow growth rate of -5.69%.
- The current debt-to-equity ratio, 0.40, is low and is below the industry average, implying that there has been successful management of debt levels. Although the company had a strong debt-to-equity ratio, its quick ratio of 1.00 is somewhat weak and could be cause for future problems.
- Compared to its closing price of one year ago, BEAM's share price has jumped by 35.07%, exceeding the performance of the broader market during that same time frame. We feel that the stock's sharp appreciation over the last year has driven it to a price level which is now somewhat expensive compared to the rest of its industry. The other strengths this company shows, however, justify the higher price levels.
- The gross profit margin for BEAM INC is rather high; currently it is at 59.86%. Regardless of BEAM's high profit margin, it has managed to decrease from the same period last year. Despite the mixed results of the gross profit margin, the net profit margin of 12.21% trails the industry average.

October 28, 2013, 9:46 PM — A company that helps enterprises through e-discovery will give customers new tools to streamline the process and cut costs.
Kroll Ontrack is bringing several features together under Ediscovery.com, a site that enterprises will be able to use as a one-stop shop for managing the e-discovery process. The new apps will also offer greater automation. In doing so, the company plans to turn e-discovery from an art to a science, according to Kroll President and CEO Dean Hager.
E-discovery is the process of finding documents relevant to a lawsuit or other legal process, usually for delivery to the opposing side in a potential litigation. It's also used for internal investigations or audits and in preparation for mergers and acquisitions, Hager said. The trick is to find just the right data and leave out what doesn't have to be produced, such as emails covered by attorney-client privilege.
Most enterprises start each e-discovery projects from scratch, essentially re-inventing the wheel, Hager said. That's getting more difficult and expensive because the amount of email, spreadsheets, presentations and other data is growing faster than ever. "Everyone is just typing furiously," Hager said. The cloud-based apps on Ediscovery.com are designed to let Kroll's customers monitor the work in detail and manage all their e-discovery projects as a portfolio.
"On a day-by-day basis, you can say, 'Tell me what this project is costing me, tell me why it's costing me that much, how it compares to other projects that are similar to it," Hager said. "You can even compare it to ... some standards that exist within the industry."
By learning from each project, enterprises also can make e-discovery a more efficient, repeatable process, he said.
Kroll's current offering is already SaaS (software as a service). Companies send potentially relevant data to Kroll, which processes the data through steps such as sifting out duplicate files. That data goes back to lawyers for review, and Kroll then delivers the proper documents to the opposing side. But currently, Kroll simply reports back to the customer periodically on how the process is going, Hager said.
A key feature of Ediscovery.com is a "project wall" that's similar to a Facebook Wall, he said. All communication about the e-discovery project takes place and resides on that page, unless it's a voice call, in which case Kroll writes a summary of the conversation on the wall. This allows for ongoing, real-time monitoring that can help a customer keep the project efficient, Hager said.

Tulle Over Chiffon High Low Dress with Bow Accent Style WG3619 10 10
Love this gown! I tried on several gowns, which I didn't like. But this gown was the one for me! It's gorgeous! Everything was perfect..Thanks David Bridal..Great job! June 7, 2014
I ordered this dress knowing it was the only dress for me. After looking endlessly for wedding dresses I always came back to this one. So I took the bull by the horn and went for it. Because I live in the UK I was a little anxious with regards to quality and delivery but there was no need. The dress came in over just a week the quality is lovely and the dress is everything I wanted . Beautiful and feels lovely on very happy. My only moan is the measurements on the website. I did measure myself by them and the size I ordered was to big so I will have to get it altered. I would recommend anyone to order from DB. April 15, 2014
best view ever This is a lovely dress, but the only thing is the helm line is a little to long. The front of the dress should be a little shorter. March 15, 2014
Love at First Sight. This dress is beautiful. I made a impulse decision to buy a dress without really thinking it through. I went back and exchanged it for this beautiful gown. This is my reception gown. I picked a One shoulder Galina gown for my ceremony. I LOVE this gown. Personally... I wish I could wear it all day. January 13, 2014

Year Three: Production
The final year focuses on productions and professional preparation. In the first half of the year, personal and collaborative skills developed in the first two years culminate in an explosion of full theatrical productions, including experimental pieces, cabarets, exotic musicals, classics with an edge, and original full-length plays. The second half of the year is devoted mainly to the practical aspects of entering the acting profession; you attend sessions with producers, directors, writers, actors, casting directors, and agents. In addition, you rehearse the industrial showcase—a realization of your three years of work and a presentation of your skills to the professional world.

When Justin Cash was asked to record two more songs for his Shadow Mountain Records debut ""Beautiful World," he knew just what he's choose.
Bobby McFerrin's "Don't Worry, Be Happy."
The song is an apt summation of Cash's attitude on life, and that positive, never-quit attitude has made him the newest signee to Shadow Mountain Records, the Salt Lake City-based recording label owned by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
"After 10 years of small clubs, jerk [club] owners who don't pay you, and jerk people, the dues have paid off," said the 34-year-old Texan father of three sons. "This is the light at the end of the tunnel."
Cash is a talented guitarist and flexible vocalist whose love of the blues has seeped into the way he picks and sings ever since he began taking guitar lessons from a Denver bluesman. While Cash's style of the blues is more reminiscent of Jason Mraz and John Mayer rather than Muddy Waters or Eric Clapton, being a blues artist of any kind on Shadow Mountain Records is a rarity.
In fact, it has never happened before.
"We get submissions all the time," said Bob Ahlander, head of the label that is an arm of Deseret Book. "Not often do we get something like this ... We don't have anything like him at all."
"Shadow Mountain Recors has a reputation that is changing," said Cash. "It's not just happy church music. I'm a contemporary blues artist."
For the first time, Shadow Mountain label executives will not be scanning the Billboard classical charts, but the Billboard blues charts. Although his album was released on July 31, this week the label has begun a marketing blitz that has already resulted in Cash's album breaking into the iTunes blues chart.
The signing almost never happened. Last year, Cash recorded the album with his band, and then submitted the record to labels all over the country, hoping for a bite. He was a friend of Shadow Mountains singer David Osmond — they both served LDS missions at the same time in Spain — but expected to get a quick "No" from the label, at the time thinking that all Shadow Mountain Records was interested in was recordings from the Mormon Tabernacle Choir.
As expected, he didn't get an e-mail from the label.
Oddly enough, he hadn't heard from anyone for nearly six months.
But at about the same time he sent out his album to labels, he changed the look of his website, and that included a different e-mail. Cash called his webmaster to ask why he hadn't been receiving any e-mails.
The e-mail problem was quickly fixed, and soon hundreds of e-mails written over the past six months flooded his in-box. With his wife Annie crying in the background, Cash noticed an e-mail from Ahlander, who sounded interested.
"I loved him from the first," Ahlander said.
Cash called Ahlander immediately, and left five voice-mails throughout the day. Finally, they reconnected, and Ahlander offered him a deal — but only is Cash recorded two more covers.
It was the culmination of 10 years of being the sole breadwinner in his growing household. With support from his wife, Cash had been a working musician for the last decade, but it was difficult to eke out a living. "Some nights, I would only make $40," Cash said of playing clubs around Dallas. "If I don't earn money, we don't eat."
But Cash's positive world-view — which appears throughout "Beautiful World" — was never shaken. "When I write, I try to think as positivity as I can," he said of his craftsmanship style. "I turn off the inner critic ... There's plenty of negativism out there. So much of it brings you down."
But it doesn't bring Cash down.

We began with a simple desire to find safe, natural products for us and our children. This is a family business where our family values are applied to our product development. If we won't put it on ourselves or our kids, we won't manufacture it.
In our quest to make great products, we turned to our family motto, which is "balance". On a daily basis we try to find balance with family, work, exercise, friends, diet and leisure time. So it made sense to look to nature, our greatest teacher, for it's innate balance of necessary resources when making our skincare line.
Our children had various skin conditions that were not getting results with over-the-counter creams or prescriptions. When we experimented with our formulations, we experienced firsthand the value of botanical, natural ingredients, the balance they give the skin and the compelling results they yield. You can feel good about using our products on yourself and your whole family.
Our products are made right here in beautiful Idaho and shipped direct from our eco-friendly warehouse.

Answers About BodyVerde's All Natual Product Line:
How are BodyVerde's products different from other natural skin care lines?
BodyVerde sources the finest ingredients from locations all over the world. The oils and plant based extracts are the purest BodyVerde can find and are packed with antioxidants. Antioxidants are critical to healthy skin, as they attack free radicals, which are the root cause of skin damage, chronic skin conditions and aging. Using products with these valuable elements promotes natural healing of the skin. BodyVerde keeps their business model simple, they have a streamlined manufacturing and distribution process that keeps their operating costs to a minimum. BodyVerde provides a genuinely good product at a budget-friendly cost.
Does BodyVerde use preservatives?
Parabens are commonly used as a preservative in skincare found on mass market shelves. Recent research within the medical community has raised some question as to whether they should be used in BodyVerde personal care products. BodyVerde worked with their chemist to find an acceptable alternative solution that is considered safe and effective by the natural health industry. Therefore, no parabens are found in BodyVerde formulas.
Why choose natural over more expensive, traditional skincare products?
BodyVerde does not buy into the thought process that if it's expensive, it's better. BodyVerde works to keep its products simple and basic, yet effective. You can feel good about putting BodyVerde creams, lotions and serums on your skin. You can continue to use BodyVerde products on a budget and know you are using safe, quality personal care products. What you put on your body ends up inside your body. BodyVerde wanted to select nourishing, unprocessed healthful ingredients that are provided by nature.
Natural skincare utilizes what you can pick off a tree or flower and dig up from the sea - powerful antioxidants, soothing botanicals, healing properties and nourishing vitamins. BodyVerde has not experienced the same overall well-being with synthetic ingredients. BodyVerde does not use animal products and testing is never done on animals.
Are these products safe for children?
Absolutely. They are completely natural with no additives and safe for children.
Do BodyVerde products contain fragrance?
No, not in the form of perfume. BodyVerde only uses essential oils as they are suitable for most skin types and add a pleasant therapeutic aroma.
Do BodyVerde products contain alcohol?
Yes, but not the drying, irritating kind of alcohol (ethyl, isopropyl, propylene glycol). BodyVerde uses a fatty, vegetable based alcohol (cetyl) because it helps to retain moisture in the formulation and prevents evaporation ensuring more of the moisturizing properties end up helping your skin.
When will I see results?
When using natural products, they need to be used consistently, it may take 3-4 weeks for your skin cells to regenerate and start showing the benefits. Everyone responds differently depending on skin type, ailment and consistency of use. BodyVerde recommends using the product 2-4 times a day.
BodyVerde is About Natural Balanced Skincare:
Inspiration for BodyVerde
BodyVerde began with a simple desire to find safe, natural products for themselves and their children. BodyVerde is a family business where their family values are applied to their product development. If BodyVerde won't put it on themselves or their kids, they won't manufacture it.
In their quest to make great products, BodyVerde turned to their family motto, which is "balance". On a daily basis BodyVerde tries to find balance with family, work, exercise, friends, diet and leisure time. So it made sense to look to nature, the greatest teacher, for it's innate balance of necessary resources when making BodyVerde's skincare line.
BodyVerde's children had various skin conditions that were not getting results with over-the-counter creams or prescriptions. When BodyVerde experimented with their formulations, they experienced firsthand the value of botanical, natural ingredients, the balance they give the skin and the compelling results they yield. You can feel good about using BodyVerde products on yourself and your whole family.
BodyVerde products are made right in beautiful Idaho and shipped direct from BodyVerde's eco-friendly warehouse.
Why Natural
BodyVerde believes in the powerful effects of pure, real ingredients and their capability of accelerating the body's own amazing ability to heal itself. Those benefits cannot always be reproduced synthetically. BodyVerde's skincare contains no fragrances, only essential plant oils, no coloring agents, no parabens, no phthalates, no mineral oil, no petroleum, no synthetic preservatives, no sulfates, no propylene glycol and never any animal products or testing on animals.
BodyVerde utilizes what nature provides – powerful antioxidants, soothing botanicals and nourishing vitamins. When combined the right way, these ingredients work together synergistically in a powerful yet gentle way to revitalize your skin. Botanical oils and plant derivatives work at the cellular level yielding reparative results.
Not Just Skincare
Healthy skin also needs to be nourished from the inside out. Many factors influence the condition of the skin – stress, diet, inflammation, hormone imbalance, accumulated toxins from the environment, prescription drug overload and so much more.
It is BodyVerde's hope that if you enjoy using BodyVerde products, you can make them part of your daily routine in finding more balance in your life. Skincare is only part of that process….making your body more oxygen rich, drinking good quality water, eating an alkaline diet, consistently exercising and taking time to feel grateful.…all of these help add harmony to your life. BodyVerde hopes their products will only be part of that discovery process for you!
Thank you for spending some of your time with BodyVerde.

Corn demand headwinds and major global increases in supply will put producer margins under pressure this year, which will continue for the next three to five years. Add it all up and it likely means $4-something corn at harvest this fall using the most likely set of assumptions, and $5 average corn prices during the next five years, according to Sterling Liddell, senior vice president, food and agribusiness research, Rabo AgriFinance.

A gorgeous top, ultrafast neck, highly responsive tremolo and powerful HSH pickup configuration.
The Ibanez RG470FM Flamed Maple Top Electric Guitar model stands up to the most abusive whammy bar users around. Now featuring the Edge-Zero II tremolo with the Zero Point System, tuning stability is maximized. Lightning fast fretboard work is no problem with the Wizard neck, flat figerboard radius, and jumbo frets. It features Ibanez Infinity pickups in a powerful HSH array.
Edge-Zero II Tremolo
The Edge-Zero II, Ibanez's newest generation of knife edge tremolos, deploys all of the unique features of the ZR trem. Locking studs contribute to tuning stability. The system's performance and flexibility is based upon its spring/counter-spring design. For the player who prefers the tremolo to snap hard to the zero point (as with a flutter effect) removal of the cross bar and counter-spring is quick and easy.
Case sold separately.

The guitar felt great, looks great, and most importantly, sounds great. I can't thing of another brand of guitar as good as Ibanez. Every day I look forward to playing it, unlike my previous guitar, which I squeezed every last ounce of playing out of.

Comments about Ibanez RG470FM Flamed Maple Top Electric Guitar:
It's what I wanted and I am more than happy with it. Good locking tremolo system and a fast neck. The guitar is comfortable. The red flame maple on the body is more subtle than in the stock photos and is more attractive to me that way. Flame maple on the headstock is beautiful.
This guitar is a huge upgrade to my beginner guitar.

As of Sunday, November 18, 2012

ATLANTA (AP) — Residents needing a driver's license can now check wait times at local offices of the Georgia Department of Driver Services.
The department's web site now tracks the average time spent waiting in line at its 64 customer service locations. DDS Commissioner Rob Mikell said in a statement that the system will allow drivers to make an informed choice about when to head to the office.
Officials use the last two weeks of data to forecast expected wait times. Those forecasts will be updated regularly.
The information shows that Tuesday tends to be the busiest.

- Online service set up to stop return visits to driver's license office ( June 7, 2013 )

Last week, Kaspar Wittlinger (one of the High Line's gardeners, hailing all the way from Muenster, Germany – like the cheese!) showed me an interesting phenomenon happening right now: the lighting fixtures on the High Line are confusing the aromatic aster.
You'll notice in the picture above that the bright, purple blooms cover only part of the plant. That's because aromatic aster (Aster oblongifolius) is a variety of wildflower that depends on short days and low light, and the lighting fixture installed on the rail has caused the plant to receive a seasonally abnormal amount of light. On the rail side of the plant, it's still June!
[More photos after the jump.]
Dreary weather in the city is an opportunity to experience the High Line in an altogether different way. If you're bold enough to venture up despite the rain, you'll be rewarded with stillness, solitude, and strange beauty as surfaces sparkle and plant colors pop.
As the blustery weather sets in, we all begin to long for something that will warm from the inside out. Right now in the Chelsea Market Passage, you can find your fix in a quintessentially autumnal fashion.
Pastry Chef Erica Leahy of Craftsteak serves up fresh cinnamon-sugar donuts, hot spiced cider, and pumpkin spice muffins at their new High Line concession, "Craft Sweets." Co-Founder Robert Hammond is addicted, saying, "I've had no desire to eat a donut since I was a kid...now I crave them."
Craft Sweets on the High Line
Open through November 12 in the Chelsea Market Passage
11:00 AM to 6:00 PM daily
[Menu of delectables after the jump]
Hot off the presses is this year's Village Voice Best of NYC. In it, the Voice gives the High Line a big shout-out by naming it the "Best New Public Space" of 2009, calling the park "quite possibly the most relaxing spot in the city."
Artist Spencer Finch, whose stunning The River That Flows Both Ways graces the Chelsea Market Passage on the High Line, has a solo exhibition coming up at Postmasters, his gallery in Chelsea. Entitled The Brain–is wider than the Sky– this show will feature three new projects that continue his explorations of color, memory and light.
Yes, you CAN see stars in New York City!
Through the end of November join us as we team with the Amateur Astronomers Association (AAA) of New York for Astronomy on the High Line, each Tuesday at dusk. Come view the night sky using the AAA's high-powered telescopes, and get a lesson from the experts on the celestial wonders of the fall night sky.
The program takes place south of the Standard, near the Gansevoort entrance. Come gawk at the moon and Jupiter among other celestial attractions. Telescopes will be set up from dusk to 9:30 PM. In the event of a cancellation due to visibility, the AAA will update their Web site by noon on Tuesdays.
[After the jump, more photos from astronomy enthusiast Albert Dépas, taken on October 13.]
We just received word of an exciting development at the West Side Rail Yards. The Department of City Planning has announced that the City will initiate the process to allow it to acquire the High Line above 30th Street.
The City's decision to pursue the authority to the High Line is a major step towards achieving our ultimate goals: full preservation of the historic structure north of 30th Street, including the 10th Avenue Spur, and completion of the High Line project all the way to 34th Street.Read the full Press Release [PDF]
