Sheridan, Indiana – The Sheridan Fund, a new fund created by The Biddle Memorial Foundation, a Sheridan-based private foundation formed by the late Ken and Velma Biddle, and JBS United, an animal health and nutrition provider also based in Sheridan, will provide grant support to the area's effective not-for-profits with a focus on human- and social-services.
The fund was created on February 12, 2013, with an initial gift of $25,000 from JBS United and The Biddle Memorial Foundation. To be administered by the Legacy Fund's Grant Review Committee, gifts from The Sheridan Fund may be granted to not-for-profits with 501(c)(3) accreditation in Sheridan or those providing services to Sheridan residents. Grants will be made to organizations only; accredited not-for-profits may apply for grants from The Sheridan Fund at: http://www.cicf.org/how-to-apply-grantmaking.
Individuals who would like to contribute to the fund may do so by sending a check to Legacy Fund, attn: The Sheridan Fund, 515 E. Main Street, Carmel, Indiana, 46032. Checks should be made payable to Legacy Fund, and please include "The Sheridan Fund" on the check memo.
"The Grant Review Committee currently partners with the City of Noblesville on a similar fund and the impact has rippled through the county with other key municipalities reaching out to us with questions about creating their own funds," said Terry Anker, Legacy Fund President.
"Being part of Legacy Fund's Grant Review Committee myself and seeing the good work of The Noblesville Fund, I really felt as though Sheridan could benefit in the same way as the Noblesville community has," said Brian Myers, President of The Biddle Memorial Foundation. "The most rewarding part of the process has been working with John Swisher at JBS. They jumped at the chance to help Sheridan, and I have been humbled at how quickly they moved to get this going."
"The level of service Legacy Fund provides is simply unmatched. With this fund the administration, applications, everything is handled at Legacy Fund. This makes sense, and it will be seamless without burden. It was an obvious fit for us," Myers said.
Legacy Fund was established in 1991, and is an affiliate with the Central Indiana Community Foundation (CICF), has served Hamilton County since 1991, transforming communities including Arcadia, Atlanta, Carmel, Cicero, Fishers, Noblesville, Sheridan, Westfield – and all points in-between. We're changing Hamilton County through:
- CHARITABLE ADVISING with caring individuals, private foundations and professional advisors
- GRANTMAKING to effective not-for-profits that are making a difference
- COMMUNITY LEADERSHIP that convenes, facilitates and seizes opportunities – for everyone

We are here to witness the creation and abet it. We are here to notice each thing so each thing gets noticed. Together we notice not only each mountain shadow and each stone on the beach but, especially, we notice the beautiful faces and complex natures of each other. We are here to bring to consciousness the beauty and power that are around us and to praise the people who are here with us. We witness our generation and our times. We watch the weather. Otherwise, creation would be playing to an empty house.
According to the second law of thermodynamics, things fall apart. Structures disintegrate. Buckminster Fuller hinted at a reason we are here: By creating things, by thinking up new combinations, we counteract this flow of entropy. We make new structures, new wholeness, so the universe comes out even. A shepherd on a hilltop who looks at a mess of stars and thinks, 'There's a hunter, a plow, a fish,' is making mental connections that have as much real force in the universe as the very fires in those stars themselves."

At Nextness, we believe that content doesn't have to be new to be meaningful. So for the next few weeks, we're going to go back through more than a year's worth of Linkness reading round-up posts and pull some out when we think they still have relevance. The first one we've named "self-help." It's tongue-in-cheek, but as our popular side-project WHY? showed, working in communications and the creative industry can be hard. Here's our favourite advice for how to get out of a slump.
You're overworked.
You wonder if you're good enough.
You don't know why you do what you do.

"The weight of the card/thickness really gives it a high quality feel. The colors are subtle and beautiful. We ended up picking an outfit for our daughter at Carter's that managed to match the colors in the pink in the flowers and the dark gray of the chalkboard pretty much exactly. It looks absolutely fantastic. So far, everyone who has RSVP'd has commented about how beautiful the invite was. I would definitely order from Tiny Prints again."
"These are the cutest invitations I have ever seen! I took a picture of my son facing forward with a fire helmet on looking "out the window" and waving - I love it!! Everyone who received the invites told me how much they loved them too."
"Transferred the pictures from my iPhone and the picture still looked awesome. Paper quality of card was just as I expected. No mistakes and got the day of expected delivery. No complaints here:-)"
"Loved the look and quality of this invitation. Everyone said how beautiful it was! I just got standard shipping and they were to me in no time. Thanks so much, will always get my invitations from Tinyprints!"
"The look and feel of this card were exactly what I was going for, and I loved that Tiny Prints was able to expedite delivery since this busy mom was a little behind getting them ordered. I've received so many compliments on the invitation and the photo - the design is adorable and the colors are really vibrant! I used the standard card, although instead of his first and middle names, I said "Will's 1st Birthday", and under RSVP I put the RSVP date and "see back for details", which allowed me to give more specifics on the day. The card allowed me the flexibility to personalize without changing any of the parts that I loved. I also put a picture on the back from when he was a newborn for a fun then-and-now perspective. I hadn't used Tiny Prints before and had originally planned to use another vendor, but Tiny Prints was able to get my order to me more quickly so I gave them a shot. I was impressed with the whole transaction and will be back as a customer."

What's on?
We will be releasing a full schedule soon but here is a taster of some of the thing to see at Fulldome UK this year.
Real-time Performances
As well as submissions from individuals we will be showing work from the following organisations and establishments
We would also like to thank and acknowledge the help support of the Fulldome festival and Domefest with our shorts program.
Towards a New Sonic Language – Pip Greasley – UK
Pip Greasley has been devising soundtracks for immersive environments for over 25 years in electronic opera installations like the '5K Pursuit Opera' and 'The Last Broadcast'. Since 1999, he has created the music scores and sound design for many of the best known Full Dome shows including the award-winning 'Astronaut' (for the National Space Centre) and 'STARS' (for the Sudekom Planetarium, USA), which pioneered concepts such as 'collateral sonics' and the 'fictive membrane'. He is currently writing the soundtrack for 'To Space and Back' for the US based SkySkan for release Spring 2013. Pip is a visiting lecturer at De Montfort University.
Soundtrack Production From Script to Screen – Michael Daut (E&S) – USA
Using our latest film, Robot Explorers 3D, as a case study, we will discuss the creative process in bringing the soundtrack to life throughout the production process, from development through delivery of the completed show. We will discuss music, sound design, narrator casting and recording, final mix, and technical issues related to fulldome production.
Immersive tools for an open community – SAT – Canada
After years of research in the field of immersion, construction of the first immersive theatre dedicated to cultural and social research and development, full year opened laboratory and production department dedicated to immersive works and contents, SAT place itself as a world leader in uncommon application of spherical imagery.

Looking up from your book, you could see that you weren't the only one who was disturbed. Seamus, Arthur and Dylan are all looking over the tops of their books, frowning.Allistor, the eldest of the Kirkland brothers, stumbled into the living room. His cheeks were bright red, a dopey grin on his face. You glanced at Arthur. His large eyebrows had taken a skydive down to hover over his glaring green eyes. (The guy had gigantic eyebrows. As his best friend you were allowed to make fun of them.)"Lassie!! Jis' tha girl Ah want'd ta see!!" He staggered slightly and you could tell that he was more than just a little drunk. Arthur stood, moving towards his brother."Go to bed Allistor, you're drunk."The redhead waves his brother off, scoffing. "Ah'm nae drunk."He turns back to you, green eyes sparkling. You watched warily. Allistor was unpredictable when he was drunk. One minute a crying l

Slamming your hand down on the end button, you slowly dragged yourself out of bed. The clock face read 4:45 a.m. Why would anyone get up the early? Quite simple.You were the head "Maid" in the Kirkland house hold. Which meant waking up before the sun. As the head maid it was your duty to supervise the other girls working for the Kirklands.Which would have been great, if they weren't all complete air-heads. You were stuck doing all the jobs that required thinking.And they happened to be 99.9 % of all of the jobs.After pulling on your uniform, you crept downstairs into the kitchen. The last job you had done last night was to clean it. You had stayed up until 11:00 o'clock to clean ev

Stories of fairies, nymphs, god, goddesses, demons and monsters. Every being ever imagined by the human mind. Sadly enough. In this time, on this earth, these beings only ever lived on paper and between the covers on books.Unless of course you manage to stumble from one dimension to another.You had done that. It was an accident of course. You didn't realize it until the sound of the city and people faded, leaving nothing but a silence accompanied by the rustle of leaves and bird wings."WHAT THE HELL?!" You dropped the book you had been reading and glanced about wildly. You were in a forest on a small winding dirt path. Scooping up your book, you clutched it to your chest, biting your lower lip.Where were you? Had you gone back in time, transported to another world? Where you in a coma, dreaming? Hallucinating?"Heeeeeeeeeeey there love." A male voic

He glanced at you, then looked down, shame in his eyes.Colin had finally gone back to sleep. It disheartened you to see how much hate and contempt he felt for his father."So.....Allistor."He flinched like he had been shocked."Why did you come back? You know your brothers are trying to keep you away."He nodded, avoiding your eyes. You sighed, hunching your shoulders.How awkward could this get?"I know I already said it, bu' I'm sorry.""I know.""An' I know tha' you an' Colin have every right ta' hate me.""I don't.""Colin does."You crossed your arms, avoiding his eyes.

It's a Gaelic word and so far I've seen several different ways people say to pronounce the name. I have no idea which one is correct. So yeah.... Pronounce it how you will xD)Each-Uisge, a water horse and a malevolent water-spirit said to live in the highlands of Scotland. Considered the most terrifying and dangerous creature, the Each-Uisge haunts the lonely inland lochs and often the sea. As a shapeshifter, the Each-Uisge can take different forms, including a fine horse or a handsome man.Should one be foolish enough to mount the horse, or dare dance with the man, they would quickly find them self plunged in the nearest water source. After drowning it's victims, the Each-Uisge consumes the corpse, leaving only the liver untouched.You weren't crazy, nor an adrenaline junky. No, you had an unquenchable thirst for dangerous situations and an endless curiosity

It's mainly because, I think that if Scotland was a cat, he'd be a hyperactive little shit. xD That's all.-----------------------------------------------------Making decisions had always been a slight problem for you and today was no exception. You stared at the throng of milling cats. You could only pick one, but they were all so cute and you wanted to take them all with you. But you couldn't.Sighing, you pursed your lips. Maybe you should come back tomorrow after you had researched the different types of cats.Turning to Elizabeta, you smiled apologetically. "I don't know if I'm really ready to adopt a cat yet."She nodded, grabbing a flyer off the near by wall. It explained the purpose of the shelter and the hours. You thanked her smiled, taking the flyer. When you left, you felt a small tinge of guilt for not buying a cat.Walking

You allowed your self a small smile.He alternating between sitting in the cart and walking next to you during the shopping trip. After wards, you walked home. One hand holding a grocery bag, the other clasped around your son's small hand."Mummy?""Hmm?" You glanced down at him.

Batting at it, you smiled sleepily when the sensation stopped. A few seconds later it started up again. You frowned and shifted, trying to get away from the annoyance. It didn't stop.Reaching behind you, you swatted at the nuisance."GAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!" You sat bolt up right, clutching you hand to your chest. Sitting on your pillow was a very pissed looking koala. A pissed koala that had just bitten you.You glared down at the fluffy creature. It shot you a look that suggested your feeling of hate was mutual. It had always been like this, you and the little creature competing for Jett's attention.You blinked, where was your boyfriend any way? The two of you slept together (The koala often snuggled against his back.) and you were used to waking up with him next to you."Jett?"You shifted, glancing about the room, he wasn't there.

Each mark is invisible to those who collect them unknowingly. Different shapes and colors for different decisions and actions.Violent people are usually colored crimson and rusty brown. The color of the blood that often stained their hands.People who inflicted harm upon them selves were various shades of icy blue and white. The colors collecting around those wounds like swarms of flies.Uncertain beings were a swarm of several colors. Each color melting together, then drawing away only to melt back again.You could see these colors. Not because you had a special ability, but because you also couldn't be seen. You weren't dead, mainly because you had never been living in the first place. You just were.

Drunken sweetness (ScotlandXReader)A bang. The front door had been thrown open, banging against its hinges as someone else banged in. "(Y/n)!! I'm hoooome~" Not again.Allistor grinned lazily, opening his arms for you as he stumbled inside. Why did you even wait up for him anymore? You should've known he'd come home drunk like always. With a couple more drunken slurs of what you guessed was your name, he fell to his knees in front of you.You shook your head at him and sighed, putting down the magazine you'd engrossed yourself in. Stroking his cheek, to which he nuzzled his face in your hands. "I'm back hooome~" He murmured, pressing kisses on your palms."W-why're ya still awake..?" He questioned, resting his chin on your folded up legs. "I was waiting for you stupid." Why did you still wait up for him like this? Oh yes, it was because you were head over heels for the redheaded Scot and his affection, which tended to be more prominent
The Incident (ScotlandXReader)Sitting on a bar stool, nursing the best scotch the pub had to offer, Allistor Kirkland didn't have too much to complain about. He had a drink, a cigar, and all the time in the world. Not literally, of course (the paperwork had to be done at some point), but it was nice to pretend. Now all he needed was a fight.One particularly drunken man was causing a ruckus across the bar, shouting for more drinks in a voice so slurred, words could barely be recognized. Allistor growled in annoyance, his grip tightening on the bottle in his hand, teeth grinding against the cigar perched on his lips. It looked like he had his target, and perfect timing, too.The bartender noticed the look in his eye. "Oh no ye don't, Allistor. Not tonight. Ye nearly destroyed the place last time," the older man cautioned, but the red head couldn't hear through the anger burning in the back of his skull."He deserved it, though," Allistor growled, emerald eyes watching the lo
ScotlandxReaderAllistor sat in the chair constantly shifting and moving. He couldn't sit still; he stood up and paced back and forth. He scratched his head which he only did when he was distressed. He sat back down and shook his leg; he buried his face into his hands and tried to calm his breathing down. He leaned back in his chair and groaned."Will you stop fidgeting, I know you are distressed but please calm down," his younger brother Arthur coaxed. Allistor was the second born of the family after their brother Oliver, and then it was Allistor, then Ian, then Arthur. They almost never got along and constantly bullied each other over almost anything. Practically tortured each other but they were all in one place for one reason."I cannot help it, this is all my fault, you know. I should've driven her home myself," Allistor said feeling like a complete blundering idiot."You can't blame yourself for this brother, you can't control everything,
ScotlandxReader ~ Early DrizzleYou woke up to the sound of small droplets of water hitting the window glass. The sun had still not risen but a few storm clouds had decided to drop by for a visit today. The outdoor trees gently swayed back and forth with the strength of the winds and their branches did the same, as if saying hello to whoever was walking outside. Which was nobody. Nobody was outside, but that didn't surprise you since it was still early.Stretching your arms as far away as possible, you let out a little squeak when you felt a pair of hands wrap around your small waist. But it was none other than your longtime boyfriend, Allistor. He, on the other hand, was still in dreamland. Probably the dreamland of beer and cigars.I wouldn't be surprised if he was truly dreaming about that right now.You chuckled to yourself and unwrapped his arms from around your waist so you could gently place them on top of his torso that arose every couple of seconds due to his steady breathing. His red hair, which was
ScotlandXReader - Rockstar (Read Descript)He had it all. Everything he wanted, he had gotten. He stood there in his penthouse suite, looking out the wall of windows. The radio was playing softly in the background. He stared at his reflection. Emerald green eyes and fiery red hair with a lean body. He had a cigarette between his figures and a bottle of beer in his hands. He sighed. The darkness of the city outside the windows consumed him, inside and out.The radio behind him was playing his newest hit song. As he stood there staring out the window, a pair of arms wrapped around his body. A chin places itself on his shoulder and blonde hair spilled over his shoulder. From the reflection, he saw it was his latest girlfriend. He couldn't remember his name."Iain, come on. Let's go to bed." She said."Aye. Be righ' there, lass." He replied.He was turning to go to bed when the radio changed songs. It was another one of his. His first song to be exact. Rockstar.I'm through with standing in lineTo clubs we'll never get i
Smoke (ScotlandXReader)Deep, deep into the furthest recesses of your sleep, a familiar scent wafted over you. It wasn't the pleasant cookie-scent your mother used to wake you up with, nor the papery smell of the Sunday newsletter your father used to concentrate on in the mornings. It was a homely, wonderful smell which instantly made you swell with warmth and content.The mixture contained a blend of something sickly sweet, like the sugar candies you used to chew on until your jaw was sore, as well as a hot, musky type of smell. All of that mixed with the smell of used linen sheets and the heady smell of sweat, strangely you could also detect a breath of frosty air. Drowsily, your tired eyes fluttered open – determined to name that particular scent that had lured you from your dreams.Still sleepy, you focused on the bed sheets you were facing, reaching up mutely to stroke the spot where a freckled chest would have normally been. It took a moment for your brain to comprehend who was missing from
Devil's Dance Floor (ScotlandXReader)CAUTION: SWEARING AND KISSING AND DRINKING AND STUFFYour mind still whirled as you tried to comprehend all of the information your mind was just forced to absorb as you walked through the streets of the small Scottish town side by side with the only other girl in your semester abroad group. Kurai-she refused to be called anything else, much less her real name- seemed completely at ease as she stretched, yawning loudly."How can you do that?" you asked her, skeptical about how she could have qualified for the semester abroad in Scotland when she didn't seem to care about her grades or future at all.Kurai shrugged. "Chill dude, not everything that teacher says is important. The guy is boring as hell anyways, so why bother when the powerpoint is going to be online?"You stared at her in awe, unable to comprehend what she was saying. "But it's important to listen to the teacher Kurai! I want to do well so I can get a good-""Ge
Scotland x Shy reader - Playing gamesYour eyes went wide, body freezing where it was. 'They have to be kidding me!'_____ was reasonably new to the school and usually hung out with Arthur Kirkland, Mathew Williams and Alfred Jones. For someone so new and quiet she was very popular, just not in the way you would expect. Everyone loved the kind, cheerful girl and would often go to chat with her, or sit with her when they had nowhere to go or felt a bit lonely, knowing that she was warm and welcoming.But that didn't make her any less shy than she was. In fact the first time she met Arthur, the class grades student council rep she didn't say a word for the first two hours!This brings us back to now."Students you will be paired up with a senior for the next week for your assignment, you are to learn about them and join with them in their weekly activities starting today. Both the seniors and you will be giving in a report at the beginning of next week so I expect you to do your best and work co
ScotlandxReader - Cookies and CreamYou walked through the streets with earphones in; listening to (favourite/song). You hummed along the song whilst walking toward your part-time job. You worked at a Spanish cafe where the manager was your best friend; Antonio. Although you only worked there since he said he needed a spare worker for a couple of months and there was no one else to trust since he asked on such short notice. And there you were, strolling along the sidewalk 6am in the morning getting ready to set up and start your job.'What a wonderful day...' you thought to yourself as you felt the newborn sunrise heat up on your cheek. You yawn as you suddenly bump into a few people who were talking and laughing; getting in the way of the sidewalk. You saw a tall man with red hair, his hair contrasting with the rising sun, two men with brown hair (they were almost identical) and one smaller man with blonde hair with some of the bushiest eyebrows you have ever seen. Seeing as there were no cars around and that you didn't
ScotlandxReaderScotlandxReader-------------------------------------------You had always had crappy luck when it came to betting and contests. And yet when ever the chance arouse, you seemed to feel the need to place a bet. However this time would be the last time you ever took a bet. At least against Allistor Kirkland.You glared at the redheaded man as he smirked at you. One of his hands was in his jeans pocket and the other was holding a clothing hanger. On the said hanger was a maid costume.The type of maid costume people might wear to Halloween parties."I really hate you right now."His smirk grew, showing his pearly white teeth. You snatched the dress away from him and glared."I don't even see how I lost." You snapped, stomping towards the nearest bathroom. Allistor laughed, both hands in his pockets now."Told ye he would topple."You had stupidly agreed to bet against the Scottish man man while watching his younger brother, Seamus attempt to win a drinking match. Allistor had bet on the o
Poetic PsychosisIn thirty seconds, the next shell would fall. Every night was the same, but every night Lorenzo experienced it as if it were the first time. His throat felt swollen; breathing was hard. He glanced around at the others; young men like him who had been shipped out in the name of honour and freedom. There was no honour in this, no freedom. Only death behind your eyelids, and a fear so gutting, that it carved out your innards and left you a hollow husk. Lorenzo tried to breathe, tried to assure himself that he was still whole, still made of flesh. They had lied when they told him he was ready.Matteo ran towards him, arms out, rifle swinging uselessly at his side. He shouted for him to run, but Lorenzo remained motionless, unable to move as his friend's warning was lost in the constant blare of gunfire. None of them were ready."The cycle is repeating. It is not safe." The voice was soft and weak, yet it carried over the gunfire and battle cries without impediment.Lorenz

This has been a vital year for the Australian legal profession. With a worldwide recession on the horizon and US and UK law firms continually pushing back the boundaries within which they practice, Australian lawyers have finally begun to focus clearly on the issue of globalisation.
In September, we witnessed the signing of a new best friends agreement between Allens Arthur Robinson (AAR) and UK magic circle firm Slaughter and May; and right now, Minter Ellison partners are devising an international strategy which they hope will combat the onslaught of the economic downturn. But while these two Australian firms are making notable advances into the global arena, isn't it time for their competitors to wake up and smell the coffee?
There is no denying the fact that foreign firms have stolen the march into the international marketplace - UK and US practices are going great guns in Europe, and English lawyers in particular are dominating the Asian legal scene. But instead of sitting back and watching the world pass them by, Australian law firms need to recognise that Asia is their own back yard and grab hold of the opportunities that await them.
Minter Ellison managing partner Phil Clark admits that despite a bumper 12 months in which each of Australia's top 20 firms increased its revenue, the country's lawyers remain cautious about their prospects for the coming years. Behind their concern is the fact that the domestic market is contracting, globalisation is upon us and competition is fiercer than ever before. Surely, then, the most obvious way to deal with this is by going global oneself - a move which Clark clearly supports.
Clark, who is leading Minters in its expansion into Asia, argues that internationalisation - either through merger, organic growth or an AAR-style best friends alliance - offers firms a strong armoury against foreign competitors.
"As top deal numbers decline, a significant proportion of growth for all Australian firms will have to come from new markets, in particular from rising domestic companies and the international market," says Clark.
Historically, Australia has enjoyed a flourishing domestic client base, which has provided a more than adequate income for premier league practices. But times have changed, and one of the toughest jobs for those now at the helm is convincing their colleagues that complacency must give way to creativity if success is to continue. Cross-border mergers and alliances are on the agenda, lawyers are being deployed to, or employed in, other countries and firms are preparing to go into battle for their slice of the global client pie.
"Everybody now recognises that there's going to be a recession through 2002," says Clark. "In addition, the volume of premium corporate work will reduce as leading Australian corporates are taken over by multinationals, move offshore, dual list or internationalise their operations, and Australian firms are going to have to look for work outside the traditional areas."
Now the most oft-used word in the legal vocabulary, 'globalisation' is drumming home the fact that if Australia does not act now, it is at risk of joining New Zealand in becoming little more than a branch office economy.
Peter Caillard, president of the Victorian branch of the Australian Corporate Lawyers Association (ACLA), believes that the internationalisation of business could well be a positive trend for those Australian lawyers who grasp the nettle. He says companies are keen to instruct firms that can act in more than one jurisdiction, particularly if the close relationship between offices facilitates a ready exchange of information and experience.
This means that firms such as AAR, Minters and Deacons - the latter having had an on-off courtship with the Asian market for some time - will surely be ahead of home side peers in the future.
"An effect of globalisation is that Australian companies will increasingly become multinational, whether they expand their means of distribution or become part of a larger entity which operates in more than one country," says Caillard. "Accordingly, the service requirements of Australian companies will increasingly extend beyond state or national boundaries. Large law firms are no exception to this and I suspect that they'll continue to strengthen and formalise their relationships with overseas firms.
"If I had a crystal ball, I'd predict that Australian companies will be attracted to these law firms, as they offer something that strictly local firms cannot. Furthermore, a recognisable and respected name in an overseas jurisdiction may give the client additional confidence that they've selected an appropriate firm to perform their work."
Freehills executive chairman Peter Hay says it will be interesting to see how firms deal with globalisation, and he predicts that Australian practices are likely to follow one of two routes.
"While everyone's bracing themselves for a downturn, there's a fair degree of optimism that Australia is a robust economy," says Hay. "On the other hand, businesses are wary, and when that occurs a future downturn may in fact be triggered by everybody being cautious. It can be self-fulfilling.
"The Australian market is a very solid market for legal services, but it's very mature, so it's not growing at a great rate. Therefore, firms can either adapt their aspirations to an economy that's growing more slowly, or they can seek to open up new markets. I think there'll be firms which decide that their best interests lie in global alliances or partnerships of some sort, and there'll be firms which don't accept that, at least initially, and seek to maintain their independence."
Talk of foreign shores will be alien to many Australian lawyers, who along with other members of the country's business community have long been accused of parochialism. This could be proved correct, as it now appears that top-end firms have focused hard on winning work away from local opposition, while at times neglecting to recognise and act against the looming shadow of global competitors.
The issue has been thrown directly into the spotlight by recent transnational mergers and acquisitions involving iconic Australian entities such as BHP. While such deals pad out the impressive CVs of those firms that handle them, they inevitably result in a contraction of the client market.
In addition, Australia's stringent tax legislation has already driven a handful of local businesses to relocate to foreign shores (and potentially into the arms of global law firm suitors); and the iron rod with which the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission rules is also cited as a deterrent to potential clients.
As if this were not evidence enough of the need for practices to rewrite their revenue-raising plans, the final nail in the coffin has been hammered in by the Australian offices of foreign and accountancy-tied firms, which despite protestations from some quarters are showing definite signs of encroaching on sacred domestic ground. Baker & McKenzie has been present in Australia for so long now that few legal professionals, let alone clients, regard it as anything other than a home-grown law firm, and Andersen Legal is beginning to show its strength, winning substantial instructions from the likes of the Ansett administrators.
"The Australian economy is losing some momentum, and therefore lawyers' business will be adversely impacted as corporates review their legal spend," says Andersen Legal managing partner Adrian Ahern. "The large firms must therefore look elsewhere, but there are few options for them unless they're truly part of a global firm.
"Traditional law firms in Australia remain concerned that, while the multidisciplinary firms here are still reasonably small compared with the top tier, they've won significant work - in particular by providing integrated services in conjunction with the big five firms with which they're related.
"About 40 per cent of our work is won in conjunction with Andersens. Otherwise, with 25 partners and a fee base of A$32m (£11.1m), Andersens attracts significant work in its own right."
So, what of the Anglo-Australasian link-up between AAR and Slaughters? Could the move redefine the way that Australian firms view and are viewed by the international market?
Ian McGill, AAR's senior executive partner for client services and one of the lead partners behind his firm's recent move, believes that the tie-in will take AAR to a new level in the global marketplace. He says the relationship, which has already proved fruitful with a succession of client wins, offers Slaughters an extended network of lawyers in Asia while providing AAR with much-sought-after UK law capability in the region.
"We went into the alliance with Slaughter and May primarily to get English law capability and to give us the ability to service clients - some of whom are mutual clients - in a much more effective manner," says McGill. "We're only qualified to practise Australian law, and not too many deals of an international or transnational scope are done under Australian law.
"This relationship gives us a greater depth of expertise; and that, coupled with the increased brand recognition which we expect, was a great reason to do it."
McGill, however, is clearly aware of the dangers of neglecting one's home franchise, warning that continued client wins both at home and abroad is essential to ensuring longevity.
"I think there's still plenty of opportunity for growth in certain sectors of the Australian economy and the Australian market, and we've also got to identify and work at them," he says. "If people are thinking that the lemon is squeezed dry in Australia, that's a mistake. It's a matter for each firm to play to its strengths because the work is still around; you just have to have the skills and track record to pursue it."
McGill's view is supported by Mallesons Stephen Jaques chief executive Tony D'Aloisio, who believes that the domestic market is still buoyant.
D'Aloisio, whose firm was reported to have held merger talks earlier this year with UK giants Clifford Chance and Linklaters & Alliance, says the Australian economy is holding up "very well" compared with others. Indeed, he reports that Mallesons' budget and returns show no signs of a downturn.
"The market in Australia is extremely competitive, but markets for legal services are competitive everywhere," he says. "I don't think the Australian market is any different to what's happening to the markets in New York, London and Hong Kong. They're all very competitive and mature.
"The Australian legal market's been achieving healthy growth rates over the past five years. It's a big call to now say that there'll be negative growth. While I think the rates of growth of premium legal work will be slower in Australia than the historical growth, as will be the case in other mature markets, I nevertheless think they'll remain healthy."
To ensure such predictions are proven correct, most firms believe it is essential to combine their international efforts with active client care programmes and a strong push into developing markets at home.
Recent behaviour implies that Australian corporates are examining expenditure, and the collapses of high-profile companies such as One.Tel, HIH and Ansett can only result in a further tightening of the screws.
And, with a volatile blue chip market and the portfolio of second and third-tier practices already cherry-picked, firms will now be looking for joy offshore and among the client list of Australia's niche or boutique players.
"There's no way that the top tier can rely on pinching market share from second-string firms, because they haven't got any left," says Clark at Minters. "That process is so well advanced that there isn't enough left to take.
"We need to be looking for work outside Australia and also among rising companies in the domestic market, as well as focusing on the blue chip clients. They tend to be the ones that are moving work out of Australia. We need to follow them.
"Firms will either have to pick up market share locally, which is going to be very difficult in a contracting market, or contract themselves. Otherwise, they'll have to suffer the consequences."

"Just who do you think you are?" Now there's a question that has been posed and pointed more than a few times. Usually it is a weaponized question of sorts, laden with accusation; or it is a declaration aimed at someone's preposterous behavior. Nevertheless, I think it is an essential question of spiritual identity.
Consider the writer of the New Testament book commonly known as "John." Tradition holds that this Gospel was written by the disciple John, one of Jesus' closest associates, though the writer, mysteriously, never identifies himself by name.
If I had written a book that was an eyewitness account of the life and times of Jesus of Nazareth, you can bet that I would have signed it -- as gigantic as John Hancock -- but John the Disciple did not. He used a different signature. He used an alias, a pen name tagged: "The one Jesus loved."
Why such a moniker? The leading explanation is that because John wrote his gospel some time later than the other three, persecution had set in against the church. Thus, for John to give his actual name would have meant persecution, censure, or even death. Another theory is that John was being a bit arrogant. He was Jesus' favorite, so goes this theory, and he was rubbing others' nose in it.
But I don't think John was hiding his identity or flaunting his supremacy in the band of Jesus' merry men. I think he was playing another creative game altogether; he was using a literary device to force his readers to take hold of the core meaning of what it means to be in relationship with Jesus Christ. He was asking the question, "Just who do you think you are?"
John understood that his core identity was directly connected to the love Christ had for him. So much so, that he did not think of himself as a fisherman, a disciple, an apostle, a Gospel writer, or a Church Father. He was simply one who was supremely loved. That's who he was, and the exact identity he wanted us, his readers, to embrace.
We are no longer just names or anonymous faces. We are not defined by occupation, label, race, nationality, failure, our family of origin, culture, popularity, or the ancillary chorus of the voices around us. We are simply the Ones Jesus Loves. This is our identity and who we really are. Is this too much to understand? Probably so. But I don't have to understand it to accept it, embrace it, and live it.
I don't understand the science of how the sun can be 93 million miles away, provide life-giving light and heat to this planet, and keep our solar system from devolving into chaos, but I believe it, and I experience its light and heat every day. I don't understand Newton's Law of Gravitation or Einstein's later Theory of Relativity, but I know these things keep my feet grounded on planet earth every day, and anchor me within this time and space.
I don't understand how oxygen is processed by the bronchial tubes in my lungs, but my lack of understanding doesn't keep me from breathing! I don't understand the strange affection we have for puppies, the passion I feel for football, the satisfaction that comes from being with those whom I care about, or the serenity in my soul produced by sitting on top of a mountain or seeing the Gulf of Mexico on a cold, winter day.
I understand very little about these things. But I still experience all of these richly and deeply, and these experiences make me alive. Can't God's love in Christ work the same way? As a shining light, a grounding force, a sustaining atmosphere; an affection, passion, and serenity that gives us life and meaning?
No, we can only understand bits and piece of it all, but our lack of complete knowledge should not prevent us from believing and living this fact: We are unconditionally and eternally adored by God. We are indeed, the Ones Jesus Loves.

TEAMS: Indianapolis Colts
The Indianapolis Colts are going to great lengths to support their ailing coach Chuck Pagano. In a show of support, a group of about a dozen players shaved their heads after Tuesday's practice. Pagano lost his hair while undergoing treatment for leukemia. Director of player engagement David Thornton had a barber in the locker room following Tuesday's practice and about a dozen players, including kicker Adam Vinatieri, defensive end Cory Redding, Pro Bowl safety Antoine Bethea and punter Pat McAfee lined up. McAfee cut his long hair two years ago and donated it to Locks of Love. According to multiple reports Tuesday morning, No. 1 pick Andrew Luck also shaved his head. Pagano was diagnosed with leukemia on Sept. 26 and remained hospitalized for treatment until Oct. 21. On Monday, his physician, Dr. Larry Cripe, said Pagano was in ''complete remission.''

Look who's awesome now, summer squash.
Sorry to break it to you, but some of them are your family and friends. And they are liars.
Yes, it's healthy -- but it's so much more than just a substitute.
An excellent source of dietary fiber and vitamin C, spaghetti squash also contains vitamin B6, potassium, and magnesium. Plus, it's low-cal! This recipe uses hazelnuts and breadcrumbs to offer a crunchy contrast to the silky spaghetti ribbons.
I first tried spaghetti squash a couple of months ago and I couldn't believe how amazing the texture was, the subtle sweetness, the way it made the dish lighter and healthier than it otherwise should be.
Squash has come to represent the fall season more than any other vegetable. It comes in many shapes and sizes, its flesh ranges in color from pale yel...
There are 3 ways to cook the spaghetti squash. Bake it, boil it or nuke it. Micro waving goes really fast and this is how you are going to do it.
To ensure a strong immune system through the winter months, find ways to connect and harmonize with your surroundings now. One of the best ways to do this is by eating foods that are in season.

Everyone in the family loved this recipe It was very easy to make. I just used a rosemary garlic seasoning instead of buying another spice blend.
Salmon with Parmesan-Herb Crust

Excellent recipe, will definitely put this in my rotation! Only change was substituting gluten free breadcrumbs for the real deal. Served with the mashed potato recipe and broccoli.
Gippee Posted: 09/28/10
LOVE this recipe. It looks impressive on the plate, but is easy enough to make for supper on a busy night. Served it with roasted asparagus and wild rice. I've passed this recipe on to others- great reviews from all!
JohannaH Posted: 12/14/12
I'm a little hesitant to rate this because after my family raved about the salmon (my husband said it was the best salmon I've ever made!), I realized that I forgot to pour the lime juice and olive oil over the fish! Sooo, if you don't have those items on hand, feel free to try this recipe anyway! It worked for me. Now I need to decide when I make salmon again, do I do the recipe with my adaptation or do I try it the "real" way!
MKunkel Posted: 02/04/13
Excellent easy salmon recipe. Good enough to serve for company, fast enough for a weeknight meal. Will now be my go-to salmon recipe. My husband liked this better than most of the glaze-based baked salmon recipes I've tried.

Waterfront Home Values Double:
Nationwide, the typical oceanfront or lakefront, single-family home is worth more than double the median value of all homes, and in some communities the median waterfront house could be worth ten or more times the median value of non-waterfront houses, according to a new analysis by Zillow®. In the U.S. the median single-family home was worth about $171,600, while the median waterfront house was valued at $370,900, a waterfront premium of 116.1 percent.
Among large cities analyzed, the biggest difference between median non-waterfront single-family home values and median waterfront house values are in Tampa, Fla. where the waterfront premium is 733 percent.
"The allure of ocean and lakefront living is powerful and undeniable, and millions of homeowners nationwide dream of one day owning a home on the water. But those dreams come at a price," says Zillow Chief Economist Dr. Stan Humphries. "Waterfront properties are both relatively scarce and highly coveted, and that high demand and limited supply leads to higher prices."
Waterfront homes have a strong appeal for retirees and with 6500 American families reaching age 65 every week continued growth in demand is expected.

'And yet all loneliness, angers, hatreds, envies and itchings that [Hell] contains, if rolled into one single experience and put into the scale against the least moment of the joy that is felt by the least in Heaven, would have no weight that could be registered at all. Bad cannot succeed even in being bad as truly as good is good. If all Hell's miseries together entered the consciousness of yon wee yellow bird on the bough there, they would be swallowed up without a trace, as if one drop of ink had been dropped into that Great Ocean to which your terrestrial Pacific itself is only a molecule.'
'.... For a damned soul is nearly nothing: it is shrunk, shut up in itself. Good beats upon the damned incessantly as sound waves beat on the ears of the deaf, but they cannot receive it. Their fists are clenched, their eyes fast shut. First they will not, in the end they cannot, open their hands for gifts, or their mouths for food, or their eyes to see.'
'Then no one can ever reach them?'
'Only the Greatest of all can make Himself small enough to enter Hell. For the higher a thing is, the lower it can descenda man can sympathise with a horse but a horse cannot sympathise with a rat. Only One has descended into Hell.'
'And will he ever do so again?'
'It was once not long ago that He did it. Time does not work that way when once ye have left the Earth. All moments that have been or shall be were, or are, present in the moment of His descending. There is no spirit in prison to Whom He did not preach.'
'And some hear him?'
'.... If ye put the question from within Time and are asking about possibilities, the answer is certain. The choice of ways is before you. Neither is closed. Any man may choose eternal death. Those who choose it will have it. But if ye are trying to leap on into eternity, if ye are trying to see the final state of all things as it will be (for so ye must speak) when there are no more possibilities left but only the Real, then ye ask what cannot be answered to mortal ears. Time is the very lens through which ye seesmall and clear, as men see through the wrong end of a telescopesomething that would otherwise be too big for ye to see at all. That thing is Freedom: the gift whereby ye most resemble your Maker and are yourselves parts of eternal reality. But ye can see it only through the lens of Time, in a little clear picture, through the inverted telescope. It is a picture of moments following one another and yourself in each moment making some choice that might have been otherwise. Neither the temporal succession nor the phantom of what ye might have chosen and didn't is itself Freedom. They are the lens. The picture is a symbol: but it's truer than any philosophical theorem (or, perhaps, than any mystic's vision) that claims to go behind it. For every attempt to see the shape of eternity except through the lens of Time destroys your knowledge of Freedom. Witness the doctrine of Predestination which shows (truly enough) that eternal reality is not waiting for a future in which to be real: but at the price of removing Freedom which is the deeper truth of the two. .... Ye cannot know eternal reality by a definition. Time itself, and all acts and events that fill Time, are the definition, and it must be lived. The Lord said we were gods. How long could ye bear to look (without Time's lens) on the greatness of your own soul and the eternal reality of her choice?'
an excerpt from The Great Divorce by C.S. Lewis

Ohio Man Accused of Tattooing Tot's Rear End
MSNBC: Police say an Ohio man tattooed the letter "A" on the rear end of a 1-year-old girl visiting his home.
Lee Deitrick, 20, of Louisville was arraigned Wednesday on a felony child endangering charge in Canton Municipal Court.
Authorities say there was no evidence the toddler's mother permitted the November tattooing. It was not clear what the letter "A" signified.
Deitrick's grandmother called the tattoo "a wee-little hairline" and said there was hardly anything left of it. Louisville Police Chief Andrew Turowski said the tattoo is smaller than a dime.
A message seeking comment was left at the office of Deitrick's attorney after the arraignment.
Bond was set at $250,000. If convicted, Deitrick could face up to five years in prison.

Were was the parents when this was going on? Teens and young adults need to be brought up like the older generation was. Kids get away with to much. Hopefully he will get jail time or a big fine and counseling
