Estate Planning In Ozark, Alabama
In Ozark, Alabama, "estate planning" refers to the process by which a person makes arrangements related to their property after their death. It can (and should) also encompass personal issues that might come up immediately before and after a person's death.
The drafting of a will, which simply states what you wish to be done with your property after death, is normally one of the most important parts of an estate plan. Of course, it's rarely the only one. There are many other things you might want to include, depending on your objectives.
A will is rarely the only aspect of a comprehensive estate plan. Most individuals have extremely strong preferences about their end-of-life care, especially when, and under what circumstances, they would want to be taken off life support, if that every happens. These wishes should be made in writing, and discussed with family. Additionally, preferences on organ donation and funeral arrangements should also be made clear.
Perhaps most vitally, your estate plan should make arrangements for the care and custody of your minor children, if you have any. Of course, you should discuss this matter with the person you intend to take custody of the children beforehand, to ensure that they are able and willing to provide proper care.
What Type of Estate Plan Do I Need in Ozark, Alabama?
This normally depends on your individual goals and priorities, your age, health, and the nature and quantity of your assets.
If you are in good health, young, and not married, planning an estate is probably not a high priority. And at this point in your life, it doesn't really have to be, with a few possible exceptions, such as individuals who work in very dangerous jobs, or who are very wealthy.
If you are unmarried, but have a life partner in Ozark, Alabama, estate planning is crucial, if you wish for your life partner to be treated as if he or she were your spouse (to the extent possible). In such a situation, the estate plan should make arrangements to give your life partner power of attorney in case you become incapacitated. Your will should also clearly include your partner (if you wish for them to inherit any of your assets).
Individuals who are elderly and/or have a massive amount of money in Ozark, Alabama are probably more in need of an estate plan than almost anyone else. Most people place a lot of value in the peace of mind that comes when they know that the people they love, or the causes they care about, will be taken care of after their death. Of course, nobody likes to confront the facts that this process always contains, but it's essential.

Do I Need a Ozark, Alabama Estate Planning Attorney?
In Ozark, Alabama, estate planning is rarely simple, even if it's not the most convoluted thing in the world. Given the importance of what's at stake (the financial security of your loved ones), a good estate plan is essential, as is the help of an attorney who specializes in wills, trusts, and estates law.

It's a problem that bedevilled both the Winnipeg Jets and Chicago Blackhawks Tuesday night and it's one Jets coach Claude Noel has seen all too often.
A team comes home from a road trip and, rather than playing well in front of the home crowd, the players fall flat.
The Jets had played well on their recent road trip, going 1-1-1, but they came out completely flat Tuesday at home against the Ottawa Senators and lost 6-4. The Blackhawks had split their six-game road trip but also came out sluggish Tuesday and lost 4-1 to Phoenix.
Noel said he has seen the same pattern played out for years and he still can't understand why.
"I don't know," he said Wednesday after the Jets practised for Thursday's home game against Phoenix. "It a psychological comfort thing. It's more than physical, it's mental, physical, it's all of the above."
Noel said he could tell early on in Tuesday's game that his players just weren't ready.
"I just never felt comfortable in the game," he said. "It's exactly what I envisioned could happen..
"That game I knew it would be a hard game to win. I just knew it."
He added that part of the problem is juggling the ice time for players and figuring out what they can handle.
Take a player who typically plays for 12 minutes a game, he explained.
"He's really good for 12 minutes. [If he]plays 15, it's not the same. How come that is? Why is that. I don't why. Sometimes guys can do it okay for two or three games some guys do it for eight games some guys can't do it at all."
Tuesday's loss was tough for the Jets because the game was the first of a long stretch of home dates, with 12 of the next 14 at the MTS Centre, and Winnipeg had been hoping to pile up some points.
The players "would be demoralized just like we all are," Noel said when asked how his players responded to the loss. "It would be the low moment in our existence because the players wanted to win the game so there wouldn't have been much enthusiasm. So we have to move past it, which is what we tried to do in practice. We just went 30 minutes, get off the ice and keep your energy going. We have to focus on the games ahead of us."

How to download Chandra Data from the Archive
CIAO 4.9 Science Threads
The Chandra Data Archive contains all the data obtained with the Chandra telescope.
This thread explains the two Data Archive interfaces, ChaSeR and the Chandra footprint service. Additionally, there are command-line scripts for finding and downloading publicly-available Chandra data from the Archive: find_chandra_obsid and download_chandra_obsid. Please note that proprietary data can only be accessed using ChaSeR.
To illustrate several methods of downloading ObsID 1843 (ACIS-I, G21.5-0.9), which is used in the Introductory CIAO Threads.

What data files do I need for my analysis?
The standard data distribution arranges the data products such that the products necessary for most analyses (e.g. the CIAO threads) are in the primary directory. If you are interested in reprocessing your data, for example, you will also need the level 1 files, which are in the secondary directory.
The CXC strong encourages users to reprocess their data to ensure that they have the latest calibrations consistent with the current CALDB.
Users should run chandra_repro or follow the step by step instructions the Reprocessing Data to Create a New Level=2 Event File thread.
Each of the threads also includes a list of the specific files needed to run it.
If you are unsure what types of analysis you will be doing, downloading both the primary and secondary data packages ensure that you will have any file you might need.
Using the download_chandra_obsid script
The download_chandra_obsid script provides a simple command-line interface to the Chandra Data Archive. It requires only the ObsID that you wish to download:
unix% download_chandra_obsid 1843
Each file that is downloaded will be displayed on screen, giving the type, format, and filesize before a progress bar of # marks (each # mark indicates 10% of the file). Once the file has been downloaded, an average rate is displayed for the download. (This output can be turned off with the "-q" or "--quiet" flags.)

The script also allows you to download multiple ObsIDs at one time by supplying a comma-separated list:
unix% download_chandra_obsid 1842,1843,459
or to download selected data files:
unix% download_chandra_obsid 1842,1843 evt2,asol
Refer to the help file for further details.
The data files are now ready to be used in CIAO. For a description of the files, read the Introduction to the Data Products thread.
Using the find_chandra_obsid script
The find_chandra_obsid script lets you search the publicly-available data in the Chandra Data Archive from the command line. It can be used to search by object name - using the CADC Name Resolver - or by position. First we try by name, but find that the resolver does not recognize the name:
unix%% find_chandra_obsid G215-09 # find_chandra_obsid (12 November 2015): ERROR No position found matching the name 'G215-09'.
so we give the source location explicitly (as there are many matches for this calibration target most have them have been removed from the display below); note that the declination value includes both ' and " characters which involves an awkward combination in this tcsh example
unix% find_chandra_obsid "18h 33m 33.50s" "-10d 34' 06.70"'"' # obsid sepn inst grat time obsdate piname target 142 0.0 HRC-I NONE 30.5 2000-02-16 Calibration G21.5-0.9 143 0.0 HRC-I NONE 15.2 1999-09-04 Calibration "G21.5-0.9 [HRC-I, Offsets=0,0,0]" 144 0.0 HRC-I NONE 30.2 2000-09-01 Calibration "G21.5-0.9 [HRC-I, Offsets=0,0,0]" 158 0.0 ACIS-I NONE 9.8 1999-08-25 Calibration "G21.5-0.9 [Chip I1, T=100, Offsets=-3,-5,0 Off-ax]" 159 0.0 ACIS-S NONE 15.0 1999-08-23 Calibration "G21.5-0.9 [Chip S3, T=100, Offsets=0,0,0 Std Cand]" 160 0.0 ACIS-I NONE 9.8 1999-08-25 Calibration "G21.5-0.9 [Chip I0, T=100, Offsets=5,-5,0 Off-ax]" 161 0.0 ACIS-I NONE 9.8 1999-08-25 Calibration "G21.5-0.9 [Chip I2, T=100, Offsets=5,3,0 Off-ax]" 162 0.0 ACIS-I NONE 13.2 1999-08-27 Calibration "G21.5-0.9 [Chip I3, T=100, Offsets=-1,1,0 Std Can]" 163 23.5 ACIS-S NONE 10.0 1999-08-15 Calibration "G21.5-0.9 [Chip S0, T=100, Offsets=23,0,0]" 164 15.0 ACIS-S NONE 9.8 1999-08-15 Calibration "G21.5-0.9 [Chip S1, T=100, Offsets=15,0,0]" 165 0.0 ACIS-S NONE 9.8 1999-08-23 Calibration "G21.5-0.9 [Chip S2, T=100, Offsets=6,0,0]" ... 1840 0.0 ACIS-S NONE 7.8 2000-09-02 Calibration "G21.5-0.9 [Chip S3, T=120, Offsets=-1,5,-4]" 1841 0.0 ACIS-I NONE 8.1 2000-09-01 Calibration "G21.5-0.9 [Chip I3, T=120, Offsets=-1,10,5]" 1842 0.0 ACIS-I NONE 7.5 2000-09-02 Calibration "G21.5-0.9 [Chip S3, T=120, Offsets=-1,15,0]" 1843 0.0 ACIS-I NONE 8.0 2000-09-02 Calibration "G21.5-0.9 [Chip S3, T=120, Offsets=-1,20,-4]" ...
Positions can be supplied in a range of common formats for RA and Dec - e.g. as decimal degrees or various sexagesimal forms - as shown in further examples.
There are several ways to filter this output:
Use the limited filtering capabilities of the script (the instrument and grating parameters):
unix% find_chandra_obsid 278.390 -10.57 instrument=hrci # obsid sepn inst grat time obsdate piname target 142 0.1 HRC-I NONE 30.5 2000-02-16 Calibration G21.5-0.9 143 0.1 HRC-I NONE 15.2 1999-09-04 Calibration "G21.5-0.9 [HRC-I, Offsets=0,0,0]" 144 0.1 HRC-I NONE 30.2 2000-09-01 Calibration "G21.5-0.9 [HRC-I, Offsets=0,0,0]" 1406 0.1 HRC-I NONE 30.1 1999-10-25 Calibration "G21.5-0.9 [HRC-I, Offsets=0,0,0]" ...
Write the output to a file and then use the CIAO DataModel tools; for example:
unix% find_chandra_obsid 18:33:33.5 -10:34:7 > matches.txt unix% dmlist matches.txt counts 128 unix% dmlist matches.txt"[sepn<1,inst=ACIS-I]" counts 42 unix% dmlist matches.txt"[sepn<1,inst=ACIS-I,time>10][cols obsid,time]" data,clean # obsid time 162.0 13.10 1233.0 14.0
The detail parameter can be changed to the all setting to have more columns written out (e.g. the target position), or obsid if you only want the observation id.
Once you have the observation ids you want you can use download_chandra_obsid to download them. Alternatively you can set the download parameter of the script to be asked whether each matching ObsId should be downloaded (download=ask), or to automatically download all matching ObsIds (download=all). The latter option should be used carefully as it is easy to accidentally download a lot of data!
As an example, here we look for HRC-I observations to download; the list of matching observations is given and then we are asked whether we wish to download each set:
unix% find_chandra_obsid '18 33 34' '-10 34' inst=hrci download=ask There were 18 matching observations: 1/18: Obsid=142 Sepn=0.2 Inst=HRC-I Grat=NONE Exp=30.5 ObsDate=2000-02-16 PI=Calibration Target=G21.5-0.9 2/18: Obsid=143 Sepn=0.2 Inst=HRC-I Grat=NONE Exp=15.2 ObsDate=1999-09-04 PI=Calibration Target=G21.5-0.9 [HRC-I, Offsets=0,0,0] ... 17/18: Obsid=10648 Sepn=0.2 Inst=HRC-I Grat=NONE Exp=10.2 ObsDate=2009-02-17 PI=Calibration Target=G21.5-09 18/18: Obsid=13091 Sepn=0.2 Inst=HRC-I Grat=NONE Exp=10.2 ObsDate=2011-05-30 PI=Calibration Target=G21.5-09 Use h to get help on the download options. 1/18: Obsid=142 Sepn=0.2 Inst=HRC-I Grat=NONE Exp=30.5 ObsDate=2000-02-16 PI=Calibration Target=G21.5-0.9 Download [y, n, q, a, h]: h Download options are: y - download this ObsId n - do not download this ObsId q - do not download this or the remaining 17 ObsIDs a - download this ObsId and the remaining 17 ObsIDs h - display this information Download [y, n, q, a, h]: n 2/18: Obsid=143 Sepn=0.2 Inst=HRC-I Grat=NONE Exp=15.2 ObsDate=1999-09-04 PI=Calibration Target=G21.5-0.9 [HRC-I, Offsets=0,0,0] Download [y, n, q, a, h]: ...
From this point you can decide whether to download each observation, and once this is finished the download will begin.
find_chandra_obsid also accepts an OBS_ID value and will locate any other observations that overlap it.
unix% find_chandra_obsid 1843 # obsid sepn inst grat time obsdate piname target 142 0.0 HRC-I NONE 30.5 2000-02-16 Calibration G21.5-0.9 143 0.0 HRC-I NONE 15.2 1999-09-04 Calibration "G21.5-0.9 [HRC-I, Offsets=0,0,0]" 144 0.0 HRC-I NONE 30.2 2000-09-01 Calibration "G21.5-0.9 [HRC-I, Offsets=0,0,0]" 146 0.0 HRC-S NONE 10.5 2000-02-16 Calibration "G21.5-0.9 [HRC-S, Offsets=0,0,0 CENTER MCP]" 147 0.0 HRC-S NONE 9.7 1999-09-05 Calibration "G21.5-0.9 [HRC-S, Offsets=0,0,0 CENTER MCP]" 148 0.0 HRC-S NONE 10.1 2000-08-31 Calibration "G21.5-0.9 [HRC-S, Offsets=0,0,0 CENTER MCP]" 150 0.0 HRC-S NONE 10.5 2000-02-16 Calibration "G21.5-0.9 [HRC-S, Offsets=-30,0,0 +Y MCP]" 151 0.0 HRC-S NONE 9.8 1999-09-05 Calibration "G21.5-0.9 [HRC-S, Offsets=-20,0,0 +Y MCP]" 152 0.0 HRC-S NONE 10.5 2000-08-31 Calibration "G21.5-0.9 [HRC-S, Offsets=-30,0,0 +Y MCP]" 154 0.0 HRC-S NONE 10.1 2000-02-16 Calibration "G21.5-0.9 [HRC-S, Offsets=30,0,0 -Y MPC]" 155 0.0 HRC-S NONE 10.5 2000-08-31 Calibration "G21.5-0.9 [HRC-S, Offsets=30,0,0 -Y MPC]" 158 0.0 ACIS-I NONE 9.8 1999-08-25 Calibration "G21.5-0.9 [Chip I1, T=100, Offsets=-3,-5,0 Off-ax]" 159 0.0 ACIS-S NONE 15.0 1999-08-23 Calibration "G21.5-0.9 [Chip S3, T=100, Offsets=0,0,0 Std Cand]" ...many more...
Using ChaSeR
ChaSeR is the web interface to the Chandra Data Archive. It allows users to browse the observation catalog with a variety of search criteria, to display preview images, and to download the data tarfiles.
ChaSeR allows users to download the standard primary and secondary packages. It also allows user to download individual files from those package, and provides access to lower level data products (Level 0) as well as proprietary and engineering observations.
1. Browse
Chandra Archive data may be browsed using any of the fields in ChaSeR, such as Target Name, Instrument, Grating, ObsID, and Category. Since we are interested in an ACIS-I observation of G21.5-0.9, highlight the appropriate Instrument (ACIS-I) and Grating (NONE) and enter the Target Name. In the "Customize Output" section at the bottom of ChaSeR, change the Sort Order to "Observation ID".
Figure 1 shows the completed form.
[Version: full-size]
Figure 1: The completed ChaSeR form to search for ACIS-I observations of G21.5-0.9
Click the "Search" button in the upper left corner of the form to start the search.
2. Select
The Search Results window brings up all the observations that match our search criteria, as shown in Figure 2.
The default number of rows returned in ChaSeR is 50. If your search matches more than 50 observations, a message will be shown in the bottom left of the results page: 99 observations found, 50 displayed in this screenshot (Figure 2). Use the "Change Search Criteria" link to narrow the search or to increase the Row Limit value.
Click on ObsID 1843 to highlight the row. After doing so one may:
Use the "Details" link to display specifics about the observation, e.g. general observation parameters, ACIS-specific parameters, and any observation contraints.
Use the "V&V" link to read the Verification and Validation report.
Click on the "Images" link to view and download preview images. Use the "Image types" subnavigation to cycle through available images.
Use the "Back to Search Results" button to return to the previous page, allowing you to browse other observations.
When you are ready to download the dataset, make sure the ObsID(s) are you interested in are checked off in the search results page. By default, both the primary and secondary products (Figure 3) in ChaSeR. Uncheck either option if you don't wish to download both. Users can also request a custom package that may include level 0 and level 1.5 data products not previously accessible via this interface.

The selections are submitted using the "Add to Retrieval List" button. Proceed to the next step.
3. Retrieve
Use the "Browse Products" button to view the observations and data products submitted for selection (Figure 4). At the bottom of the list, the total number of files and combined filesize is listed: "Total: 28 files, 124,033,470 bytes uncompressed. (Note: Downloaded data will be compressed to about 50-70% of this size.) ".
[Version: full-size]
Figure 4: ChaSeR retrieval list
Use the "Retrieval List" link in the upper right to go back to the Retrieval List, then click the "Retrieve Products" button to start the retrieval process (Figure 5).
The files are compiled into a tarred package which is placed onto the anonymous FTP server (cdaftp.harvard.edu). If you provide your email address, you will receive an email when the tarfile is ready for download:
To: email@example.com Date: Thu, 04 Apr 2013 14:39:46 -0400 Subject: Chandra Data Notification Your Chandra data are ready to be retrieved via anonymous ftp at cdaftp.cfa.harvard.edu in the directory /pub/stage/RYayl7LI.

Next, follow the instructions in the FTP and Unpack the Data section.
Chandra Footprint Service
The Chandra Footprint Service lets you search for publically-available observations, showing you the "footprint" of each matching observation (that is, the area on the sky actually observered by Chandra). It is based on the interface used by the Hubble Legacy Archive. As shown below, search results can be browsed and filtered before choosing what observations you want to download.
Figure Figure 6 shows the start page of the search. In this example we have entered the object name G21.5-0.9 into the search box, but positions (RA/Dec only) can be used instead. The search defaults to a radius of 0.2 degrees, but this can be changed by appending r=0.5d to the end of the search string (change the value to suit your needs).
To start the search either hit return when focus is in the search box, or select the search button. The page will reload with the results of the search (it may take some time, particularly if using a position with many matching results, as used in the example), resulting in a page like Figure 7.

Narrowing down your search
For most searches you are unlikely to have quite as many matches as the search shown here (this target is used to calibrate the instruments on Chandra, so has been observed many times), but you may still want to narrow down the results.
First we start by turning off the display for all but the HRC-S detector, leaving only the pink outlines. Clicking on one of the outlines will select it (and in fact any other observation that covers that point on the sky); the selected observations are drawn in a yellow outline and are highlighted with a green background in the table. An example is shown in Figure 9.
The Reset Selection box - highlighted in Figure 9 by the red rectangle - will remove all the filters and selections, returning the display to the same as in Figure 7. The results can also be filtered by entering values into the text boxes below the column headers of the table; these are the blue boxes below the "ObsId", "Target", "Observation Date", ... entries in the table. In Figure 10 we show how to filter the ObsId column to show just those values between 1800 and 1900.
Clicking on the ObsId link for an individual observation will display the observation information collected by the archive in a separate window. An example is shown in Figure 11.
Downloading data
Once you have selected the observations you are interested in - that is, selected them so that they have a green background in the table - then the Download Selected ObsIDs button above the table will instruct the archive to create a tar file of the observations, and create a new window containing the name of the file, and its location at the Chandra FTP site. An example is shown below:
File(s) package_5832_130523142917.tar will be available at ftp://cdaftp.cfa.harvard.edu/pub/stage/2dRTwkc5
This is similar to ChaSeR, so you can follow the same instructions for retrieving the data, except that there is no link to click on from within your browser, so you have to either use wget (or curl), or log in to the FTP server directly.
Note that this is only a brief introduction to the Footprint Server, and has not discussed more complex capabilities, such as altering the columns displayed, or the IVOA Simple Image Access (SIA) interface. Note that the find_chandra_obsid script takes advantage of the SIA interface to allow you to search and download directly from the command line.
Chaser downloadable pplication(retired)
A downloadable Chaser Java application once existed but has been discontinued. Users can use ChaSeR to retrieve all the same data products as well as batch searches.
FTP and Unpack the Data
The download_chandra_obsid and find_chandra_obsid scripts download the unpack the data into the current working directory. If you used ChaSeR or the footprint service you need to get the tarfile from the Archive anonymous FTP server and unpack it.
In this example, we use the name of the tarfile created by ChaSeR: . The name and location of your tarfile will be different.

Got a nasty countertop you can't replace? Or a piece of furniture that needs a quick update? How about an old appliance that looks really bad but works great! Or an awkward bathroom window looking into the neighbor's yard!? Maybe you just don't want to commit to a style and love to change things out, like me. Let me introduce you to my new favorite thing – decorating with contact paper!
It really is the best invention ever for us renters. It goes on so easily, looks amazing and is completely removable without any damage!If you have been around this blog for a bit, you know I fell in love with it when I discovered them for my kids' bathroom. The first time I used contact paper was actually about 4 years ago on our shower door. We will get to that in a bit but after my recent rendezvous with it, I haven't stopped covering things in removable contact paper!
**Post contains affiliate links for your convenience. Read my full disclosure here.***
Contact paper patterns –
One of my favorite things about contact paper – apart from being removable and rental friendly – is how they are available in various faux finishes and you can easily transform one surface into another. There are five basic contact paper patterns you can choose from in addition to unimaginable number of decorative versions
Choices of contact paper patterns –
Marble contact paper – Marble is beautiful but crazy expensive. I transformed the kid's bathroom countertops in our rental from old and yellow to beautiful faux marble countertops with marble contact paper. It has definitely fooled a lot of people into thinking it was marble! I love how easy it was and the counters have held up very well to all the splashes that the kids put it through in the last 5 months.
It's not just for countertops, you can use it on a table top or even for fun simple crafts like a DIY marble tray and marble and gold coasters.
Granite contact paper – Like marble, granite is also expensive and transforming a counter into "granite" is also just as easy! The Handyman's daughter shows you how she transformed an 80's kitchen with new "granite" countertops. Aren't they just perfect?! There are so many different colors available in the granite contact paper, you won't have any problems finding your favorite to match your cabinets!
Translucent contact paper – These make awesome window coverings and privacy films. I wish I had pictures of it but 4 years ago (long before I had the blog), I used translucent contact paper to add a privacy film on the shower doors -something you need when you have a toddler walking around 🙂 Ashley shows you how to use it to add privacy to a bathroom window.
Another way to use the contact paper for privacy in your window. I can also think a million ways to use it for crafts!! There are also a bunch of fun colorful stained glass contact paper available for you to let your imagination run wild!
Wood contact paper – Creating a faux wood surface with contact paper is a lot of fun. You can transform the top of any table into pretty "wood" like I did with on this super simple Ikea Lack hack.
Not just furniture, how about covering up your old floors for beautiful faux wood ones with contact paper?
Stainless steel contact paper – Let's talk about those old appliances! You have a new stainless steel refrigerator but an old white or black beaten up dishwasher. Cover it in Stainless steel contact paper! Craving some creativity shows you how to so it! You could also do this for an old refrigerator or washer and dryer! They are easy to maintain and wipe down too. Best of all – if it gets scratched, you can easily change it out!
Talking about appliances – it doesn't have to be only stainless steel contact paper! Grillo Designs shows you a fun way to makeover a refrigerator and a washing machine with contact paper!
Applying contact paper –
All contact paper is applied in 4 basic steps – clean, apply, remove bubbles, cut off excess.
Cleaning the surface – you can use any cleaner you like but the last step in the cleaning process should always be rubbing alcohol. This takes removes any oils and residues left.
Applying the contact paper – Slowly peel back the backing of the contact paper little at a time and smooth it onto the surface with a smoothing tool or a credit card.
Removing bubbles from contact paper – You can press out any bubbles as you go using the smoothing tool or credit card. However, for any persistent bubbles, poke a tiny hole using a pin and smooth it out. It will be barely visible after that!
Cut off excess – Using an X-acto knife, cut off the excess contact paper as close to the edge as possible.
Where can I buy contact paper –
Contact paper is available very commonly available in almost all stores from the dollar store to online on Amazon. Dollar stores are a good place to get fun patterns and plain contact paper. If you are looking for more specialized designs, Amazon is always a great option. Home Depot and Lowes also carry a wide range and selection.

Big capital projects, such as building a new factory, store or business center, remodeling existing facilities or replacing aging equipment fleets, may move a company's stock price up or down. The direction and amount of the stock price change depends on how investors view the capital project's impact on short- and long-term cash flow, dividends and the company's business risk. Since the stock market is generally efficient, investors' views are reflected quickly in the company's stock price.
Evaluating Projects
Companies undertake capital projects because they expect a positive return on their capital investment once a project is completed. Management will select projects that they believe will add value to the company and thereby raise the price of its stock. If investors agree with management's view that the project will increase earnings, the company's stock price will stay stable or rise. However, if investors doubt the accuracy of the company's projected return or believe the capital project will increase the company's exposure to business risks, they will drive down the stock price. It's all about investor perceptions and beliefs.
Cash Impacts
Capital projects usually require a lot of money. To fund a project, company management usually looks first to internal sources of money such as current cash flow and accumulated retained earnings. However, capital spending absorbs money that otherwise could be available to shareholders, such when dividends are paid on company stock. A capital project not only diverts cash, it also diverts managerial and personnel resources that could be applied to increasing current earnings. Investors may view capital projects as curtailing earnings growth in the short term, and push down the stock price. If a company reduces or suspends current dividends to finance a capital project, the price of its stock may go down.
Going Outside
If a capital project is too big to finance entirely with internal resources, company management must seek money from outside the company. Companies have two ways to obtain outside capital. They can raise equity capital by releasing a new stock issue, or borrow money for the project by issuing new corporate bonds. Current investors won't like new stock issues because it dilutes their ownership and reduces earnings per share. However, if the company borrows the money for its capital project, the added debt may be seen by investors as increasing overall financial risk.
Confidence Level
Investors' view of capital projects will be influenced by their overall level of confidence in the economy. If investors believe the general business climate is good and likely to get better, they are more likely to take a positive view of capital investment projects and drive up the stock price. However, if investors are uncertain or pessimistic about future levels of demand and profits, they will also tend to be pessimistic about capital projects and are likely to drive down the stock price. Interest rates have an effect on investor perceptions of general business conditions.

Contact Us2011 Hermitage Blanc, Domaine Marc Sorrel
White | Ready, but will improve | Domaine Marc Sorrel | Code: 18023 | 2011 | France > Rhône > Hermitage | Marsanne | Full Bodied, Dry | 13.0 % alcohol
This is a vibrant, beautifully concentrated, white Hermitage wine revealing lots of honeyed grapefruit, quince, white currants and a hint of rose petals characteristics.
Monsieur Sorrel compares 2011 to 2000 and advises that it has produced the highest crop since 2001. The modestly temperate and relatively lengthy growing season has produced wines of real clarity and definition, highlighting the personalities of the individual vineyards involved. He is especially proud of the wines from Crozes, for which he has hitherto been less famous.

The Producer
Not a single new oak barrel can be found in Sorrel's wine cellars, which are on the main street of Tain l'Hermitage in Northern Rhone. His one concession to modernism is his air-conditioned cellar. Production is small, with 1,000 cases of white and red Hermitage wines, and the rest Crozes-Hermitage.
Marc Sorrel took over the lion's share of the family wine business from his father in 1982. Somewhat thrown in at the deep end, his first efforts were less than spectacular. He bounced back, however, with his next vintage and has been on the up ever since and is now one of the finest producers of traditionally styled Hermitage.
His winemaking technique is distinctly non-interventionist - he rarely de-stems, he doesn't use new oak and his wines are often aged for up to two years before bottling. This traditional approach gives an old-fashioned style of Hermitage which is full, well-structured and very long-lived.
The Grape
Marsanne is the predominant white grape variety grown in the Northern Rhône where it is used to produce white St. Joseph, Crozes-Hermitage, and Hermitage. It is a tricky grape to cultivate, being susceptible to diseases and being particularly sensitive to extreme climatic changes - if growing conditions are too cool, then it fails to ripen fully and produces thin, insipid wines, while, if too hot, the resultant wines are blowsy, overblown and out of balance.
In the Northern Rhône it tends to be blended with around 15% Rousanne and produces richly aromatic, nutty wines which age marvellously - the best examples are from Hermitage and particularly from Chapoutier. Increasingly it is being grown in the Southern Rhône and Languedoc Roussillon where it is bottled as a single varietal or blended with Roussanne, Viognier, and sometimes Chardonnay. It is also grown very successfully in Victoria in Australia where some of the world`s oldest Marsanne vines are to be found.
The Region
Hermitage is the most famous of all the northern Rhône appellations. The hill of Hermitage is situated above the town of Tain and overlooks the town of Tournon, just across the river. Hermitage has 120 hectares and produces tiny quantities of very long-lived reds.
The vines were grown in Roman times, although local folklore claims their origins to be nearly 600 years earlier. The name 'Hermitage' first appeared in the 16th century, derived from a legend of the 13th century Crusade, involving a wounded knight called Gaspard de Stérimberg, who made refuge on the hill, planted vines and became a hermit.During the 17th century Hermitage was recognised as one of the finest in Europe. In 1775, Ch. Lafite was blended with Hermitage and was one of the greatest wines of its day. In the late 19th century, however, Phylloxera wiped out all the vineyards.
The wines are powerful, with a deep colour and firm tannins, developing into some of the finest examples in France, with the potential to age for many decades. The best Hermitage is produced from several climats or more, blended together. The main climats are Les Bessards, Le Meal, L'Hermite, Les Greffieux and Les Diognieres. Most of the finest climats face broadly south, giving maximum sunshine. Most growers only have one or two climats and they might not complement each other; Hermitage quality can therefore vary hugely. Only the top producers have extensive diversified holdings.
Eighty percent of the wine produced is red, however up to 15 percent of white grapes can be used in the blend. Most growers use 100 percent Syrah and utilise the white grapes to make white wines only. Chapoutier, Jaboulet and Tain l'Hermitage Co-operative are the principle proprietors of the appellation's vineyards.
The white wines are made from the Marsanne and Roussanne grapes. Great white Hermitage has the ability to age, taking on the fruit characters of apricots and peaches, often giving a very nutty finish. The best examples in great vintages can last 50 years.
Mature red Hermitage can be confused with old Bordeaux. In a blind tasting of 1961 First Growth Clarets, the famous 1961 Hermitage La Chapelle was included. Most people, including its owner, Gerard Jaboulet, mistook it for Ch. Margaux.

Notes on Ethics and the Internet
The distinction between the professional and personal image is difficult to maintain on the internet. The researcher should keep this distinction in mind both for themselves, and for any participants who may be tempted by the relative anonymity of the internet to divulge information about themselves that can be revealing, or damaging.
At the same time, because of the anonymity of the internet, the researcher should take care to ensure that critical data provided by a subject is in fact true; or be able to draw a boundary of uncertainty about the data on the principle of "triangulation." A particular problem is posed by individuals who may be under age or at risk in some way posing as of competent age, or as not at risk. The researcher should not absolve themselves of the responsibility of seeking out the real identity of their subjects if this is a danger. For instance, talking about sexual behaviour with a person who may not be ready for such a discussion.
Since it is easy to disappear on the internet, the researcher must take care to be able to be able to contact a subject for debriefing or damage mitigation should a break in the communication channel happen.
Screen names and logon names are by definition unique, certainly within a system of chatrooms. The researcher must take care to disguise such names so that individuals cannot be traced back, or that others may not read your conclusions about the person behind the screen name.
Items of information such as ISP numbers, session codes, and URIs can be used to discover the identity of the person sending you the information; much information may be conveyed involuntarily. So be careful to permanently delete as much of such information as you can.
On the internet, all activity is by its very nature recorded somewhere; perhaps in many locations. If a subject provides you with confidential information about themselves, you should be aware that this information may reside on a number of servers for an indefinite period of time; not just on your own computer. Some users are more informed about the internet than others. The researcher must endeavour to ascertain whether their subject knows the risks they are facing when transmitting information, and to ensure the subject realises how great is the likelihood that the information the subject provides may be received by others. One way to avoid this happening is to encode information being passed between the experimenter and the subject using some sort of scheme like PGP. This may increase the complexity of participation on your subject of course, or raise all sorts of other security worries in your subject's mind about the kind of research you are doing.
Your own computer is most probably unsafe, as there exist many ways in which a computer connected to the internet can be attacked and its information stolen. If you keep information on a laptop, then there is always the risk that your laptop may be stolen or lost, and someone else will have access to confidential information. What is more, information which resides on your computer may be used by experts in ways in which you cannot imagine, to draw correlations and to extract inferences about the people who have provided the data. So even innocuous-looking data may compromise your subject when used in conjunction with other data an attacker may have. How will you guard against this kind of possibility? You must ensure that for every item of personal data about other people you store on your computers, you have a system of encryption that is relatively secure. The onus is on the researcher to establish this.
The researcher should become familiar with the process of deleting information on a computer. On most operating systems, the 'delete' function does not actually make information unusable; it simply marks a portion of a hard disk or memory key as being usable for more information storage some other time. Thus if a researcher relies on the deletion of sensitive information in order to remain ethical they must also consider how to effectively wipe out such deleted information, by using some kind of over-writing function. Such utilities are freely available on the internet. Some computer programs (eg word processors) may use an un-encrypted part of computer memory to store partially-completed documents, and most browsers will have a 'history' trace. The researcher should become familiar with this kind of unseen storage of information if privacy of information is an ethical concern of theirs.
Information passed in a public chatroom or some such forum is being recorded on many computers already. Do you need to ask for permission to record this data? On the other hand, most people engage in public fora on the assumption that their words etc. will not be analysed. Many people are more open and revealing about themselves on the internet. So a researcher using this kind of data must take care to consider their ethical position with regard to public information provided by individuals, who may not be aware that what they write may tell someone alse much more about them than they imagine, and that it may be subjected to some kind of psychological analysis.

Gabriel Guevrekian
Gabriel Guevrekian (or Guévrékian) (November 21, 1892 (?) Istanbul - October 29, 1970 Antibes) was an Armenian architect, who designed buildings, interiors and gardens, and taught architecture. He worked in Europe, Iran and the USA.
Guevrekian was born by some accounts in 1900[1] (Imbert 1993, Turner 1996 ), by others in 1892 to Armenian parents.[2] He was born in Constantinople, present day Istanbul, and then moved with his family to Tehran where he grew up. In 1910 he moved to Vienna where he lived with his uncle, architect Alex Galoustian. He studied architecture at the Kunstgewerbeschule with Oskar Strnad and Josef Hoffmann from 1915, and received his diploma in 1919. He then worked with Strnad and Hoffmann until he moved to Paris in 1922.[2] In Paris he worked with le Corbusier, André Lurçat, Sigfried Giedion and Henri Sauvage. He worked with Robert Mallet-Stevens from 1922 until 1926, where he worked on the designs for Rue Mallet-Stevens while also pursuing his own projects. Guevrekian worked as an independent architect in Paris from 1926.[2]
He was actively involved in the early stages of the Congrès International d'Architecture Moderne (CIAM) which he chaired from 1928 until 1932, a position appointed him by le Corbusier (Turner 1996). He co-founded the magazine L'architecture d'aujourd'hui. Josef Frank invited him to design two houses for the Werkbundsiedlung in Vienna in 1932.[2]
In 1933 he returned to Iran on invitation of the government. He designed governmental and public buildings, including Kakh Dadgostari Tehran, residences and villas, of which little is documented. He returned to Europe in 1937 and worked in London for three years, but due to the advent of World War II none of his projects were realised. 1940 he returned to Paris where he worked on the development of pre-fabricated housing while also teaching in Saarbrücken. He then ceased work from 1940-44 refusing to work for the Nazis and the Vichy government in France.[2]
After the war he worked with Georges-Henri Pingusson on rebuilding Saarbrücken and also taught architecture there. In 1948 he moved to the USA to teach at the Alabama Polytechnic Institute. He became professor at the University of Illinois the next year, and taught there until his retirement in 1969. Guevrekian became a U.S.-citizen in 1955.[1][2]
After his retirement Gabriel Guevrekian returned to France with his wife. He died 29 October 1970 in Antibes.[2]
Robert Mallet-Stevens had produced earlier works like les Roses Rouges which were hailed as jardin moderne and jardin d'avant garde. He also designed a garden for the 1925 Exposition des Arts Decoratifs. Through Mallet-Stevens, Guevrekian received an invitation to submit a modern rendering of the Persian Paradise Garden. (Wesley 1981 p. 17)
Garden of Water and Light[edit]
The Jardin d'Eau et de Lumiere for the 1925 Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs was an equilateral triangle broken up into triangular elements. In the centre were four tiered reflecting pools decorated by Robert Delaunay[3] that sat below a rotating, internally illuminated sphere. These were surrounded by tiered plantings and hemmed in by two low walls of small triangles of glass in white and shades of pink. The sphere and the reflecting surfaces meant that light was reflected in all directions within the garden. By night the internally illuminated sphere projected light outwards enlivening the composition. (Imbert 1993 p. 128, Adams 1993 p. 32, Dodds 2002 p. 185)
Initially labelled in the press as a Persian garden, it eventually became referred to as the Cubist garden (Adams 1993 p. 30). For the same exposition, Guevrekian designed a pavilion for Sonia Delaunay and Jacques Heim.[4]
Cubist garden at Villa Noailles[edit]
His subsequent garden for Charles and Marie-Laure de Noailles at Villa Noailles had an imposed space whose triangular shape the clients and Mallet-Stevens viewed as suited to Guevrekian's new design style. Noailles had consulted both Mies van der Rohe and le Corbusier before employing Mallet-Stevens. He wanted artifice in his landscape. The Villa commanded great views of the Côte d'Azur and Noailles wished to contrast this strongly with an enclosed and architectonic ensemble that framed the natural whilst delineating ownership. (Imbert 1997 p. 130-132)
The disregard for the needs of the plants in the Noailles garden and the differing growth rates soon disrupted the balance of the design and prompted Charles de Noailles, himself a famous amateur gardener, to replant the design entirely, not long after its instigation. It was, however, a progression on the Paris garden by its regard for physical occupation.
Villa Heim[edit]
For Jacques Heim Guevrekian designed Villa Heim, built 1927-1930. He also designed the interior and furniture, and a garden consisting of a series of rectangular terraces. Villa Heim featured in L'Illustration and L'Architecte.[5] Guevrekian was well involved with the CIAM by this time and had shifted to a more functional style.[6] The house has since been modified extensively and has been split into two apartments.[5]
Readings of his work[edit]
Whether that was the artist's intention, as for subsequent gardens, is hard to determine. As Imbert points out "due to the paucity of written evidence, the garden designers' intentions remain largely undocumented; that they appreciated the implications of the cubist movement for their field, however, is most certain. (Imbert 1997 p. 169) Criticisms of the work as being too literal a translation of, or direct reference to, cubist painting is both unfair and imperceptive (and usually based on Wesley's critique or similar ideas). Although his primary artistic medium was painting, Guevrekian designed with more influences than cubist painting and a greater understanding of modern media and techniques than he is often given credit for.
George Dodds provides this reading of the Paradise garden; "Paradise garden are idealised and isolated enclaves in which a water element representing the four rivers of paradise divides the space into four equal precincts." (Dodds 2002 p. 192) Given the very limited space that Guevrekian had to work with and the need for people to be able to parade past, Dodds reads the four reflection pools as being this element with the garden halved for convenience. "The early Mesopotamian settlers conceived of the sky as a triangle and depicted it as a mountain. The moon, which brought relief from the relentless sun, was depicted as a tree atop the mountain of the sky. As trees mark an oasis and the moon is a life-giver, so the sap of the moon-tree must be water – the elixir of life." (Dodds 2002 p. 192-193) Guevrekian uses the metal sphere as both representative of the moon and tree, a technique he uses in later designs. The tree feeds the "water" in the pools below and the plants beyond.
Dodds also reads the form as being a "straight-up" axonometric rather than the "shallow and compressed" perspective that Wesley draws directly from Picasso. (Dodds 2002 p. 191) Guevrekian uses the axonometric, a popular architectural type where all measurements remain true in an idealised form. He develops this idea further with Robert and Sonia Delauny, whose simultaneist art he draws upon and whom he later works with to form the purist movement.

Question 1.1. (TCO A) Suppose you are hired to manage a small manufacturing facility that produces Widgets.
(a.) (15 points) You know from data collected on the Widget Market that market demand has recently increased and market supply has recently decreased. As manager of the facility, what decisions should you make regarding production levels and pricing for your Widget facility?Remember that supply and demand are about the market supply and market demand, which is bigger than your own company. You are being given data on supply and demand for the whole market and are being asked what effect that has on you as a small part of that market.
(b.) (15 points) Now, suppose that following the supply and demand changes in (a), a substitute good goes up in price, and your costs of production decrease. What new decisions will you make regarding production levels and pricing for your Widget facility? (Points : 30)
Question 2.2. (TCO B) Suppose the governor of California has proposed increasing toll rates on California's toll roads, and has presented two possible scenarios to implement these increases. Following are projected data for the two scenarios for the California toll roads:
Scenario 1:Toll rate in 2012: $10.00. Toll rate in 2016: $22.50
For every 100 cars using the toll roads in 2012, only 81.6 cars will use the toll roads in 2016.
Scenario 2:
Toll rate in 2012: $10.00. Toll rate in 2016: $17.50
For every 100 cars using the toll roads in 2012, only 96.2 cars will use the toll roads in 2016.
a.Using the midpoint formula, calculate the price elasticity of demand for Scenario 1 and Scenario 2. (10 points)
b.Assume 10,000 cars use California toll roads every day in 2012. What would be the daily total revenue received for each scenario in 2012 and in 2016? (6 points)
c.Is demand under Scenario 1 and under Scenario 2 price elastic, inelastic, or unit elastic. Briefly explain. (4 points)
3. (TCO C) You have been hired to manage a small manufacturing facility whose cost and production data are given in the table below.
Workers Labor CostOutput Revenue
1 $500 100 $700
2 1000 280 1150

i don't like long coats
i've always associated them with trench coat mafia sperglords
i don't like long coats
i've always associated them with trench coat mafia sperglords
I am looking for a coat to buy online... I'm not talking trenchcoat tier length, but rather just above the knee.
Chinos are hipster?
To the t-shirt and jeans wearing crowd, they can be.
Also, I only really advocate long coats if you are going to be wearing a coat and tie underneath, otherwise why not a standard peacoat.
I think that Laredoute has a lot of coats/jackets.
Coats are very specific and need to be tried before.
Trust me.
Also i still have my Burberry trenchcoat, the bitch cost me nearly 2K.
When would it be for?
What's the general consensus on Hawaiian shirts?
Only ok on fat guys on vacation.
No, not even then.
Also, seems like I'm going to London for a shopping weekend on friday, and good clothing stores I should look into?
Also need tips on good second hand places.
pretty fly, but not this fly.
So that's a no then?
Definitely not.
Woah how did you find a picture of 7 people who ALL look cool as fuck
i don't even know what kind of people they are by that pic
I'm probably going to London on friday and was wondering if the store called ''River Island'' is worth checking out. The clothes look really nice, but how is the quality etc?
what shoes can I wear with tan chinos?
brown black blue red whatever as long as they're nice shoes and not fucking skate shoes or converse or trainers
I've limited my shopping to Zara, H&M, LL Bean, American Apparel, Levis and occasional thrift stores for their fit, style, and price, any others I should add?
first guy reminds me of
last guy has the dopest jeans ever
Step one: get new chinos
Step two: get new friends
They're grand, just don't bother with the shoes
The quality isn't bad, but it's nothing too special either so don't worry about the stuff falling apart the instant you buy it but obviously don't completely neglect it either.
As for London shopping in general, you'll find most UK high street chains like River Island represented all along Oxford Street (for example), each with their pros and cons in terms of clothing so there aren't really any that stand out. That said, UNIQLO would probably be worth a look primarily because they have some nice stuff and they don't have many stores around except in London.
There's a massive Jack Wills in Islington, but they're overpriced, £60 for a pair of skinny jeans
Jack Wills is for people who like wearing pyjamas everywhere.
Fuck Jack Wills.
Stonem, River Island is okay, they're like a slightly higher quality Topshop with less emphasis on looking like a cunt from an indie band. There are SHIT TONS of second hand shops in London though. If you go to the nicer areas (Fulham, Covent Garden, Knightsbridge etc) you can find designer stuff for silly prices in your average Oxfam
Anyone know some good online shops? All the stores have the same stuff here, I can find bits and bobs I like but not much. Looking to see if I can buy stuff online for a reasonable price.
Needs to ship to Canada for non-ridiculous prices. Or even better be Canadian based.
They only look better because they fit tighter. If you had a button up shirt that fit correctly, it would look nice and you wouldn't have the hassle of rolling up sleeves.
Those jeans burn my eyes.
This photo should be in the OP of how not to dress.
why do they look so special
what is a sperglord
wait I think I get it now
\ SPURG-loard \ , adjective;
1. Internet caricature of typical self diagnosed aspergers suffering shutin that has to provide input on everything and anything in the most obnoxious, self unaware, or creepy manner possible.
2. Someone who states true facts to try and reveal the problems with things. While others dislike that the truth may reveal the downside and raise issues that aren't being addressed. While others don't like to hear about the problems and call this person a sperglord.

ohgod what have I done
Depends hugely on your style.
PLNDR is a great site, but hugely hit or miss. You can find great things at great prices a lot of the time, but there is also a load of awful stuff there too.
(I wholeheartedly encourage you to check it out, and there are at least two or three people here who can invite you if you would like)
Looks interesting, kinda annoying it being members only. And invite would be great though :)
My style is a mixed conglomerate of bits I find everywhere to put together how I like, so it is sorta non-specific.
Gilt is another one, but it is a bit more expensive in most cases (I will pm you about it)
Okay, thanks :)
I can dig it
