Come Out Of The Closet
John Klawitter
Copyright © 2013 John Klawitter
Originally Published by
1st Turning Point
I know you're in there. Come on out, right now, before it's too late for you! Sure, many of you are in denial. Or maybe you honestly don't know your true identity. And of course, the usual crowd is recoiling in shock and horror that their choices and preferences are certainly none of my business. How do I know any of this? Face the facts; the truth is, most of us authors actually do live, at least to some extent, in a closet of our own making, and it isn't a happy or helpful situation. No, I'm not talking about if or whether you like other girls or boys. (You people! Why does everything always have to be about sex all the time?) Allow me to explain.
Over 150 years ago in the upper class homes of Europe, a form of writing developed for young people of wealth who were blessed with an education, but not so much literary talent. These would-be authors dabbled, but in secret, and so this type of authorship was called Closet Writing or Closet Drama, as if it happened in closed or perhaps forbidden rooms. Often taking the form of poetry or stage plays, such feverish works were hidden away in locked chests or secret compartments and never seen except perhaps by one's closest friend, one's beloved mother, or from time to time by that secret significant other. The idea—the hope or dream—was that one day in the distant future, long after the writer had passed from this mortal dimension, the work would be discovered and the author's true brilliance unveiled for all the world to see.
Seems unbelievably quaint and old-fashioned, doesn't it? And yet, don't be too certain that you, yourself, might not be tainted with some of the characteristics of pining nobility, of pale restraint, of poetic yearning for the hidden life of an undiscovered genius. I am here to warn you of the poisonous influence such tendencies will create in your literary life because, unbelievable as it may seem in today's literary marketplace, it is easier than ever to play the role of the pale flower in hiding. And this, in short, will badly muck up your career.
Think about it: How many times have you cast your latest work to the ocean of readers and, after a few feeble attempts at self-promotion, hastily plunged into your next writing venture? How often have you moved forward without a real plan, believing in your heart-of-hearts that somehow your talent and persistence will overcome all? Well, I am here to warn you that, even with your undeniable blessings, without a solid and persistent marketing plan your situation is no different than it would be if you were living two centuries ago in the little guest house behind your granny's garden estate (love the hollyhocks and purple foxglove) while you breathlessly pen your closet novellas.
So, if I am even a little bit right, how does one develop a solid and persistent plan? Well, to my mind, the best way is to stand your newly published work up in harsh lighting and glare at it for a while. Just exactly what is this latest damn tome that you've tapped out on your keyboard? Figure out what you've written and you'll know where to market it. And then actually crawl out of your dank and gloomy basement and sell, sell, sell!
Remember, most definitions of literature that we studied in school are no longer valid. There never was and probably never will be such a thing as the Great American Novel. It was a fantasy, a dream of mythic proportions, and it kept many a starving artist scribbling through hard times. But that particular great white whale is a dead end in today's marketplace. Reality has taught us that ours is a genre driven world.
We authors used to complain that the publishers and bookstores were conspiring to keep counter-genre, cross-genre and mixed-genre novels off the shelf. Now we know that isn't entirely true. Sales are driven by reader attraction, and the writers with the most appealing story ideas sell better than anybody else—assuming that they figure out how to present their work clearly and to the widest possible audience. And at this point in history, because any joker with a laptop can spend a few weeks at the local Starbucks and churn out 250 pages, the crush of clutter we have to fight through is un-be-lievable!
In the golden olden days, that is, before outlets like Amazon, WordPress, CreateSpace and Smashwords, once a work was accepted by a mass media publisher, there was help. Back then, you could count on promotional ploys from interviews to back cover blurbs, manufactured and arranged by Doubleday or Random House. Not any more. Now it's on you, bucko and buckarina, to not only make sure your stuff is professionally edited, but to get your writerly butt out there in the real world to make the moves the New York publishing people used to offer.
I'm not here to tell you that spending your money on small space ads in vertical magazines or creating a book trailer is better or worse than virtual book touring or hiring a promo service. In my opinion, it's all good, but remember; some will be better than others for your needs, and that's your decision to make. The only bad decision will be to not set aside an hour or two of each day to market your current book, even as you keystroke inexorably forward with your next.
So get out there and expose yourself to your eagerly awaiting readership. Claim your rightful place among your peers and be refreshed and enervated with the knowledge that you've presented your work not only to those attached to their classic paper page-turning habits but to an entire enlightened generation of electronic readers. Come out, come out, wherever you are. You have nothing to be afraid of.
I love hearing from you! What are your thoughts on modern book promotion? Leave a comment and let me know. And don't forget to check out our new book promo specials for January at

The Multi Permit Solution offers an online portal for citizens to find all relevant information and to apply for their permits and licenses. In this same portal, various government departments collaborate on processing the application in a correct and quick way.
Permits and licenses of all Ministries are processed in the same system, causing a drastic improvement of the front-office & back-office processes and cross-department collaboration, but also offering the Ministers with a complete overview of the pipeline of all of the country's permit applications and their status.
All legislation and internal procedures are built-in, guiding the users step-by-step and resulting in a big boost in client service & compliance.
A correct and complete registration of citizens and legal entities is key for compliance. For optimal results, registrations should be updated any time citizens and government interact. When citizens pay taxes or receive benefits, it is a given that their registration should be updated, but this counts just as much for the moments when a citizen needs a permit or license. Using the Multi Permit Solution to verify and complete the registration of citizens is a key element in improving compliance and thus a stable financial environment for government.
Enforcement and control in the field has never been that easy – all fieldworkers have authorized access to the solution with their smart phones and tablets. During one visit they can simultaneously check compliance for social security, tax and permits.Request Demo»
The Multi Permit Solution eliminates any red tape that might be obstructing someone to start doing business or obtaining any other permit or license.
The Multi Permit Solution offers a one-stop shop for citizens through a 24/7 accessible online portal.
Citizens will feel in control of the process, as they are guided in completing a correct and complete application. After applying, the citizens can interact with the processing departments, they can have insight in the steps taken and they can find a digital file with all the related documentation for their case.
The government will benefit most from having access to the Multi Permit Solution. Due to the fact that the process is online and interactive, the applicant will do most of the data-entry and uploading of documents, while simultaneously pre-defined control procedures are applied causing the permit application to be complete and correct (first time right).
Departments will have an online tool to collaborate on cases and administrators will have a real-time overview of possible bottle-necks in the process, amounts of cases to be handled, etc. End users will be guided through the system by a GPS-like support, leading to fast and correct assessments of the applications.
The Multi Permit Solution has been developed and tested. Large organizations in The Netherlands are already using this solution, serving a very high number of citizens. We would be glad to demonstrate the Caribbean version to your organization.
In a time span of approximately 6 months, the most important ministries could be up and running with the Multi Permit Solution and after another 6 months, all ministries can be operational with superior 24/7 online permitting & licensing.

Lady Gaga, Jennifer Lopez, and Mark Ruffalo are among the stars celebrating Martin Luther King Jr. Day by saluting the late civil rights icon online.
The bank holiday falls just four days before President-elect Donald Trump's inauguration and the timing didn't go unnoticed by many celebrities, some of whom called on followers to continue the fight for equal rights, unity and respect - the same issues Dr. King fought for - as the controversial Republican prepares to take office.
Gaga was among those who quoted a line from King's historic I Have A Dream speech in Washington, D.C. in 1963, tweeting: "With this faith, we will be able to work together, to pray together, to struggle together," while Lopez added another part of MLK's famous speech: "This is our hope, and this is the faith that I go back to the South with. #IHaveADream".
Dance star Moby took to Instagram to share the Dr. King quote, "The time is always right to do what is right", and captioned the post, "Our best national holiday: Martin Luther King Jr day. If we have a patron saint of America it is Dr. King. We need to follow his lead: rise up, take action, stay committed, stay involved. 'The moral arc of the universe is long but it bends towards justice'. #fightthegoodfight".
Meanwhile, Avengers actor Mark Ruffalo tweeted, "Now is the time to stand up and be inspired", and Ben Stiller wrote, "Respect. Now more than ever."
Oscar winner Octavia Spencer took to Instagram with her message and wrote: "Today I honor #DrKing because his dream is what my mom wanted for her children. I think they, Dr. King and my mom, are both standing up in their graves at the serious 180 this country is both committing and enduring; but YOU can change that.
"If 2016 taught us anything it's just how precious and limited our time on Earth is. Start living your dream... today... Just making any effort toward your dream will make you happy. And YOUR being happy means that you will then affect someone else. Live. Live YOUR dream!!! P.S. in these uncertain times you will need something to hold on to, something positive, something that's uniquely yours. Be the light for those around you!!! I promise I will be. And, really big and.... STOP engaging with the hate baiters. They only seek to dim your light!!!"
Other stars who honored King on social media included Alicia Keys, Pharrell Williams, Oprah Winfrey, and Kerry Washington.

Getting back to the ride... I didn't realize what a challenge it might be, with a sensitive bossy-pants like Ariel sans fly spray (newbie mistake!). I didn't realize it right away but as soon as we entered the bush, Ariel lost her sh*t. She was bunny hopping and stomping her feet, shaking her head and telling me she wanted to just go home (sounds a little like what I'd do...). It made for a frustrating, nerve-wrecking first part of the ride and I was really not having a good time because it's impossible to out-muscle a +900lbs animal that had her thoughts centered on NOT being itchy. Challenge accepted, Ariel. I was determined to get through this hack without losing my cool or tumbling off, again. I had to be reminded to keep my heels down when Ariel was yanking her head down and trying to scratch against anything she could. Eventually, we came to a semi-mutual understanding where I compromised and let her walk through the tall grasses when we could, but did remind her that we're going my way whether she likes it or not. It was a challenging hack because I had more focus on trying to maintain my butt in the saddle and also keeping Miss Ariel's mind off being so darned itchy. To try and alleviate the itching for her, whenever I saw a bug land on her neck, shoulders or rump, I was killing these critters. When we did emerge from the bush, both Ariel and I were covered in spots of blood where I killed the bugs and both itching like we took a liberal tumble through a patch of poison ivy.
I have not since stopped itching and there are red welts and my knees look chewed up. By Sunday, I was determined to get fly spray and not head back on a hack until we were both generously coated with fly spray. But, bugs weren't the problem, come Sunday... the heat and humidity was thick and I was sticking to EVERYTHING I had on, and Ariel was taking a nap in the cross-ties during tack-up. When K, +ADW and I entered the ring (thank heavens we weren't riding outside...), the three of us were just standing there with our horses looking like the lesson had just ended. LOL. Not only were the horses ready to call it a day, but we were already drenched in our own sweat!
Getting started was tough for everyone... the horses weren't the only ones who didn't feel like working. The warm-up was practically not necessary with the heat lingering in the air which was actually a good thing because we quickly moved into the canter. Ariel is falling in on the right rein even though I was using as much inside leg as humanly possible! I think I'll try a "pulsing action" with my leg instead so that she doesn't have the opportunity to lean on my leg while I'm trying to get her to straighten up, and even MORE prep time before getting into corners. This was a rather fruitful lesson because next, I'm told to canter into the vertical jump and just ride it through again and again... it was the perfect height of low intimidation so I wasn't cursing while riding into the fence. I managed two very successful rides over the jump even with a crappy turn in and a shorting of the end of the line. I was very pleased with myself and realized that at a canter, everything comes sooner! You have little time to think about what's coming up next and just have to react. It was exactly as I needed. Next, we get into the simple changes again... and let me tell you, it was a miserable mess for all three of us. The horses were taking short corners and the nice plump 8 turned into a very skinny linear looking 8. So, gears down and we trotted the pattern instead. Hopefully by next lesson, that figure will look as intended and at the canter.
I finally made the effort to download a photo (not mine) of Ariel for those who are curious about this sassy little mare that has been teaching me so much about patience, listening, communicating clearly and just learning about horses and riding.

Posted October 27, 2011 in Press Releases
Green, OH: There are a million things to do in September but usually,
travel isn't one of them. Well, you can't tell that to the record number of travelers that used Akron-Canton Airport (CAK) last month! In September, a total of 138,846 Customers traveled through the airport. The September number beat our previous busiest September set in 2010, by 13,811 passengers, an 11
percent increase. For the first nine months of the year, 1,230,205 total travelers flew CAK, a 4.6 percent increase compared to 2010.
"We are just blown away by the Customer response to our low fares and relaxing airport experience," said Rick McQueen, president and CEO. "We are so grateful to our exceptional partners in service- from parking lot attendants to
airline gate agents- each partner shares our passion for serving Customers. They help make CAK a better way to go."
Customers aboard AirTran Airways, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Southwest Airlines, increased 16 percent compared to September 2010 carrying 64,300 passengers to six nonstop destinations including Orlando, Tampa, Atlanta, Milwaukee, New York and Boston. Delta Air Lines, offering nonstop flights to Atlanta and Detroit, was up 35 percent compared to last year carrying 28,730. With 16,600 passengers, Frontier Airlines with nonstop flights to Denver gained 9 percent. US Airways, offering nonstop flights to Charlotte, Washington, D.C. and Philadelphia, gained 3 percent with 20,800 total Customers.

This essay examines possible collapse scenarios for North Korea, considers the expected responses of regional stakeholders, and offers policy suggestions for the United States and the Republic of Korea (ROK).
Despite the United States' attempts to achieve the denuclearization of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) by promising security assurances and providing aid packages, it appears increasingly likely that the DPRK will not give up its nuclear weapons program, regardless of what external actors offer. As long as the two Koreas are unlikely to unite under present conditions, the collapse of the Kim Jong-un regime is arguably a precondition for unification. In analyzing possible collapse scenarios, Kim's incomplete consolidation of power, North Korea's enhanced market mentality, and its worsening relationship with China, among other factors, should be considered. As Bruce Bennett and Jennifer Lind highlight, there are at least "five principal military missions" that need to be executed in case of such a collapse: (1) stability operations, (2) border control,
(3) elimination of weapons of mass destruction, (4) disarmament of conventional weapons, and (5) defeat of resisting forces. However, reflecting the fact that regional stakeholders lack coordination and consent to perform joint maneuvers in the event that the North Korean regime collapses, the future looks very stark in any of the possible scenarios.
The U.S.-ROK alliance should consider adopting the following policy objectives to prepare for an efficient transition in the aftermath of a collapse of the Kim regime:

If you are choosing a wedding invitation card for your sister's wedding or your brother's wedding then you probably like to choose the one which must be more attractive and eye catching among all. But wait, getting an expensive wedding card is not enough to make it different from other regular wedding cards.
How about writing something different on it. Typically a wedding card has mentioned the name of bride and groom including the venue of the wedding ceremony. This looks fine but little boring.
How about writing something different on wedding card? No, I am not saying to amend venue details and name of couple. I am asking about to add more additional things in wedding invitation card to express you feeling for the groom and bride.

In what is sure to be a contributing factor in the robot uprising, scientists are attempting to teach robots how to manipulate objects by helping them imitate object manipulation performed by others:
Given external observations of demonstrations on object manipulations, we believe that two underlying problems to address in learning by imitation is 1) segment a given demonstration into skills that can be individually learned and reused, and 2) formulate the correct RL (Reinforcement Learning) problem that only considers the relevant aspects of each skill so that the policy for each skill can be effectively learned. Previous works made certain progress in this direction, but none has taken private information into account.

SOURCE: National Association of Realtors
August 19, 2009 10:00 ET
WASHINGTON, DC--(Marketwire - August 19, 2009) - Commercial real estate activity has suffered
from a severe credit crunch for commercial sectors, sustained job losses
and weak consumer spending, although the decline appears to be slowing. A
forward-looking indicator shows commercial real estate will remain weak
into 2010, but recent actions by the Federal Reserve should improve some
flow of capital into commercial lending, according to the National
Association of Realtors®.
Commercial Leading Indicator for Brokerage Activity(1) declined 1.3
percent to an index of 101.5 in the second quarter from a downwardly
revised reading of 102.8 in the first quarter, and is 13.7 percent below
the 117.6 recorded in the second quarter of 2008. The index is at the
lowest level since the first quarter of 1994; NAR's track of the commercial
leading indicator dates back to 1990.
Yun, NAR chief economist, noted the pace of decline moderated, but the
leading indicator has fallen sharply and quickly from the peak, suggesting
much lower business opportunities for commercial real estate practitioners
engaged in leasing, sales and property management. "The reduction in
commercial real estate activity is expected at least through the first
quarter of 2010. Any meaningful recovery is not likely to occur before the
second half of next year."
The decline is driven by falling industrial production, far fewer jobs
requiring office and retail space, a fall in durable goods shipments, much
lower personal spending, lower retail and wholesale sales, and a negative
return on commercial investment.
"With the economic recession likely coming to an end within six months, a
recovery in commercial real estate may soon follow," Yun said. "The
office sector requires job growth to fuel the demand for additional space,
the industrial sector needs a rise in production and the retail sector is
tied to consumer spending. Multifamily housing -- the apartment market --
often performs in reverse to trends in home sales, but can improve if there
is sufficient household growth."
The Society of Industrial and Office
Realtors®, in its SIOR Commercial Real Estate Index, a separate
attitudinal survey of more than 650 local market experts,(2) also suggests
a lower level of business activity in upcoming quarters. Most respondents
are seeing sales prices that are lower than replacement costs, and 96
percent report deep rental discounts and increased tenant concessions.
The SIOR index has declined for 10 consecutive quarters and stood at 36.0
in the second quarter, compared with a level of 100 that represents a
balanced marketplace.
Realtors® Commercial Alliance Committee chair Robert Toothaker said it is
crucial to improve the availability of funds for commercial loans.
"Properties with positive cash flow have had trouble finding financing to
roll over debt, transactions are essentially at a standstill and new
development is virtually nonexistent in most areas," he said.
"Commercial loans are mostly short term, and without ready financing even
the most experienced commercial players can get into trouble. The Fed's
recent decision to extend the TALF program for commercial mortgage backed
securities beyond the end of 2009 is highly welcome because the flow of
liquidity to commercial real estate will be critical for a sustainable
economic recovery," Toothaker said. "However, unless there is a tremendous
short-term recovery in the CRE markets, we expect the Fed will be
revisiting the issue of another extension of the TALF program early in
Bond yields on CMBS rose following the announcement by the Federal Reserve
on August 17 that it is extending TALF lending for existing commercial
securities through March 31, 2010, and for newly issued CMBS through June
Looking at the broad market, commercial vacancy rates continue to rise
while rents decline, according to NAR's latest COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE
OUTLOOK.(3) The NAR forecast for four major commercial sectors analyzes
quarterly data in the office, industrial, retail and multifamily markets.
Historic data were provided by Torto Wheaton Research.
Yun projects the unemployment rate to peak around 10.4 percent in the
fourth quarter, then gradually improve as 2010 progresses. "We will need
sustained economic growth before many employers have enough confidence to
expand the job base and create new demand for space," he said.
The gross domestic product should contract 2.9 percent in 2009 before
growing 1.5 percent next year. Inflation, as measured by the consumer
price index, is forecast to decline 0.5 percent this year before rising 2.0
percent in 2010.
Office Market
The office sector continues to suffer the most from job losses, which
reduces the demand for space. Vacancy rates will probably increase from
15.5 percent in the second quarter to 18.8 percent in the second quarter of
Annual rent in the office sector is projected to fall 14.1 percent this
year and 10.0 percent in 2010 after a 0.4 percent decline last year. In 57
markets tracked, net absorption of office space, which includes the leasing
of new space coming on the market as well as space in existing properties,
is estimated to be a negative 75.0 million square feet in 2009 and a
negative 47.2 million next year.
Industrial Market
The contracting global economy has constricted the industrial sector.
Vacancy rates are likely to rise from 13.0 percent in the second quarter of
this year to 15.0 percent in the second quarter of 2010.
Annual industrial rent should fall 11.4 percent this year and another 11.7
percent in 2010, after declining 0.8 percent in 2008. Net absorption of
industrial space in 58 markets tracked is seen at a negative 300.0 million
square feet this year, and a negative 112.0 million in 2010. Because much
construction in recent years was customized to meet specific industrial
needs, many obsolete structures remain on the market.
Retail Market
Given a pattern of weak consumer spending, the retail vacancy rate is
forecast to edge up from 11.7 percent in the second quarter to 12.9 percent
in the same period of 2010. Average retail rent is likely to fall 6.1
percent in 2009 and 4.9 percent next year; it declined 2.0 percent in 2008.
Net absorption of retail space in 53 tracked markets is expected to be a
negative 25.9 million square feet this year and a negative 3.6 million in
Multifamily Market
The apartment rental market -- multifamily housing -- is facing higher home
sales by first-time buyers, but also is experiencing increased demand from
families who have lost their homes. Multifamily vacancy rates should slip
from 7.4 percent in the second quarter of 2009 to 7.1 percent in the second
quarter of next year.
Average rent is projected to decline 1.5 percent this year, then rise 0.8
percent in 2010, following a 2.9 percent gain in 2008. Multifamily net
absorption is forecast at 168,300 units in 59 tracked metro areas in 2009
and 64,600 next year.
The COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE OUTLOOK is published by the NAR Research
Division for the commercial community. NAR's Commercial Division,
formed in 1990, provides targeted products and services to meet the needs
of the commercial market and constituency within NAR.
The NAR commercial components include commercial members; commercial
committees, subcommittees and forums; commercial real estate boards and
structures; and the NAR commercial affiliate organizations -- CCIM
Institute, Institute of Real Estate Management, Realtors® Land Institute,
Society of Industrial and Office Realtors®, and Counselors of Real
More than 81,000 NAR and institute affiliate members offer commercial
brokerage services.
The National Association of Realtors®, "The Voice for Real Estate," is
America's largest trade association, representing 1.2 million members
involved in all aspects of the residential and commercial real estate
(1) NAR's commercial leading indicator is a tool to assess market behavior
in the major commercial real estate sectors. That index incorporates 13
variables that reflect future commercial real estate activity, weighted
appropriately to produce a single indicator of future market performance,
and is designed to provide early signals of turning points between
expansions and slowdowns in commercial real estate.
The 13 series in the index are industrial production, the NAREIT (National
Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts) price index, NCREIF (National
Council of Real Estate Investment Fiduciaries) total return, personal
income minus transfer payments, jobs in financial activities, jobs in
professional business service, jobs in temporary help, jobs in retail
trade, jobs in wholesale trade, initial claims for unemployment insurance,
manufacturers' durable goods shipment, wholesale merchant sales, and retail
sales and food service.
NAR reviewed a wide variety of indicators, examined the relationships of
indicators that demonstrated a historical impact on commercial real estate,
and modeled a forward-looking index based on historic trends. Although
individual indicators sometimes move in opposite directions, together they
offer a better indication of future market activity.
Quarterly data for 13 selected series were reviewed back through the first
quarter of 1990. The modeling demonstrated a change in commercial
brokerage activity that could be seen two quarters later as measured by net
absorption in the industrial and office sectors, and the completion of new
commercial buildings as measured by the value of building construction
put-in-place of office, warehouse, retail and lodging structures. An index
of 100 is defined as the level of commercial real estate market activity
during the first quarter of 1990, the first period to be analyzed.

by NAR Research, is a diffusion index based on market conditions as viewed

I didn't want to just sell supplies, I wanted to sell textiles and fibers that are earth and people friendly.
Emmaus, PA (PRWEB) February 25, 2013
Marian Watkins, the owner of MW Fiber Arts, loves the feeling of walking into a craft supply store and not knowing where to start. All of the color, texture and endless possibilities have been her favorite part of crafting supplies. Starting at a young age when she spent all of her hard earned lemonade stand money on beads and other crafting supplies at the local craft store.
Today, Marian still has a passion for crafts, leading her to start MW Fiber Arts, an online fiber art supply company offering unique recycled textiles to fiber artists, jewelry makers, and the home crafter.
"I have always had the dream to open my own business in this industry, it was a natural fit, but, I didn't want to just sell supplies, I wanted to supply textiles and fibers that are earth and people friendly. It makes my customers feel great that they are adding an eclectic touch to their project while using Free Trade products. And it makes me feel good too.", explains Watkins.
MW Fiber Arts has been in business since October 2011 and has seen a steady increase in customers wanting more selections of color and textile type in the recycled Fibers. This year the business has added over 35 new color and fiber types to its inventory, a number that continues to increase.
The fiber arts supplies that can be found at MW Fiber Arts are created by women's cooperatives in India using remnants from the of production of silk saris. These materials are handspun and dyed by woman who are provided with a marketplace for their products, as well as much needed wages for their families. The products are Free Trade and child labor free.
"I'm excited to offer this type of product to our customers. It's rewarding to see what they create with the textiles they've purchased. And, of course, it's fun for me to be around all of these great colors and textures. I'm proud of how far we've taken the business."
The best is yet to come.

So sorry, but only 4 items are allowed for comparison, so we're comparing the first 4. I blame the gnomes and so should you.

Employees can "sponsor" grant requests from their local communities, and funds donated or raised by Sunstate employees in their respective regions will stay in their region.

I am having an issue with this function that is used to setup the ETS time buffers on 64-bit languages like .NET stuff. The problem is my buffer which is defined to be in VB.NET

I get an "Arithmetic operation resulted in an overflow." exception upon the call to ps5000SetEtsTimeBuffer.
I have used the 32-bit buffer function ps5000SetEtsTimeBuffers without a problem and ETS mode works but kind of curious to see what others have experienced with VB.NET and this function.

Why Grateful Glass?
Grateful Glass cremation jewelry is a uniquely beautiful way to memorialize and celebrate the life of a family member, friend, or beloved pet. A small amount of ashes is permanently fused within layers of hot glass. The result is a stunning work of art that acts as a personal tribute and will last a lifetime. Each piece we create is entirely handcrafted to order so no two pieces will ever be the same.
For many people, having a tangible reminder of a loved one provides much comfort and closure. Glass is the perfect material to create cremation jewelry. Unlike metal, wood, or ceramics, glass will never fade, tarnish, rust, or break down. Our glass cremation jewelry is crafted exclusively from industrial strength Pyrex glass. Pyrex is the strongest commercially available glass and is significantly stronger than any other type of artistic glass available. When treated with care, your Grateful Glass cremation keepsake will last for many generations and become a cherished family heirloom. All of the art produced by Grateful Glass is proudly handcrafted in the USA, made individually by skilled glass artisans.
Grateful Glass is a wonderful option for large families as only a small amount of ashes is required to craft each memorial piece. Both children and adults can appreciate the beauty and craftsmanship of Grateful Glass. Every family member can have his or her own physical remembrance preserving forever the memory of a loved one. Because only a small amount of ashes is required for each piece, Grateful Glass cremation jewelry may accompany a memorial service, urn, or scattering of ashes.

Bye, bye.
If you left today, I certainly hope that you are not surfing the net and posting here by 6:33. You need to shut off the computer and start calling your clients
That is how the FAs at BAI are paid now - If you refer $3.5mm to premier, Put all your bull Sh-- notes into client connection - kiss up to the Market Director, Bow to the Premier Client managers - you will get paid in Spirit Points... (Wow! you can buy a washer and dry).
more importantly can have your bonus. so many reps left in texas (30%) market that the manager said if you stay till feb you will get all of your bonus even if you did not hit all your targets
More and more people are leaving. Wait until they start holding back the 25% in the 3rd quarter.
I checked off all my boxes and referred all my widgets and got 500 shares. While I didn't want BAI to manage my cash flow, I am happy that I have this LT stock. I guess it's a forced savings plan ...
I guess if I got the cash from my trailers, I probably would spend it soooo - I guess it is nice to accumulate the shares over time. If I could get 500+ shares for the next ten years, with growth of 10% or so and hopefully I would be qualifying for more each year, the stock just might put my kids through college ...
We used to call that "looking for the puppy in a roomful of sh1t"
5 bucks,
did you really leave or u still thinking about it?
let us know where and % that come w/you. Should be an interesting experiment.
Not yet, but you'll all be glad to know I have made up my mind to leave and go indy. I have not decided which firm, but it is between RJ and LPL. I'll be visiting both in the next several weeks.
Good luck with BAC. I'll keep in touch with my experience.
Start calling the deep part of your book - renew those relationships. He who calls the client the most keeps the relationship.

Go to Ray Jay, please.
ITs all falling apart. Not only has BAC lost Brokers and Managers - Now the Florida Regional Director just resigned! The place is falling apart. Stay away or leave.
FL Director was "asked" to resign. He was too disagreeable for managment (at his level, there were only three people above him, including the CEO).
Asked to resign or resigned on his own... Who cares. Its falling apart! No one is staying! Look at any one who joined the firm in last five years. I am talking about real producers. They are leaving left and right.
If he was asked to resign because he was to disagreeable for management - Its because he was probably fighting all the BS that the bank was trying to push down. He spoke his mind and got canned!
You're actually right about that. He was very vocal against the trailer grid when it was first rolled out and so got transferred back to Florida because of it (he had been sent to the Northeast to manage the Fleet/Quick & Reilly territories).

November 23, 1824 - October 11, 1896
William Francis Brandon, M.D., of Morro Township, Chambersville post-office, was born in Bedford County, Tenn., November 23, 1824. His father, Francis Scott Brandon, a farmer and Methodist preacher, was born in Halifax County, Va., in 1804, a son of Francis Brandon, Sr., who was born in 1756, and was a soldier and officer in the Revolutionary War, under Gen. Washington. The Brandons were of English and Scotch descent. The father of the subject of this sketch was married in 1822, at the age of eighteen, in Virginia, to Miss Elizabeth E. Stanfield, a native of Halifax County, Va., born in 1804. This union was blessed with fourteen children - seven sons and seven daughters - only two of whom, our subject and a brother, are now living. Mr. Brandon, Sr. died in 1852, in Haywood County, Tenn. and his wife died in the same county in 1870. Our subject was the eldest of the fourteen children, and was raised in Tennessee, where he resided until 1850, receiving a good education. In 1846 he began teaching school and followed that occupation until 1850, when he left that State. He then came to Pine Bluff, Ark., where he taught five months. Dr. Brandon began reading medicine in Henderson County, Tenn., in 1847, under Dr. John H. Dickinson, and in 1851 he began the practice of medicine at Plum Bayou, Ark. He practiced his profession almost exclusively until 1874, since which time he has not been engaged in active practice. He practiced from 1852 to 1870, in Bradley County, when he moved to Hampton, Calhoun County, and in 1871 purchased a farm of 400 acres, about seventy of which are under cultivation. Dr. Brandon was married, in 1851, to Miss Martha Drake, great-grandniece of Sir Francis Drake, by whom he had one child. She died January 5, 1852, and August 12, 1852, Dr. Brandon was again united in marriage, this time to Miss Hearnsberger, of this county, though a native of Georgia, by whom he had eight children, two of whom are now living, viz: Francis S and William H. Politically Dr. Brandon affiliates with the Democratic party. He was formerly a Whig, and cast his first vote for Zach Taylor. He is a member of the Chambersville Methodist Episcopal, South. Dr. Brandon has been successful as a physician. He is a good honest citizen, highly respected by all, and justly worthy of the esteem accorded him.

Question: I was searching for a cushion cut diamond via an online vendor and I noticed that "cut grades" were assigned to fancy cut diamonds in their inventory.
It perplexes me because some diamonds that fall within your recommended ideal proportions were actually graded "very good" whereas another seemingly similar diamond was graded as "excellent".
When I looked at another vendor, the same thing happens. It seems like different vendors assign different cut grades to the fancy shapes. Are these diamonds given an objective evaluation by a gemologist or do they actually follow some standards in which the grades were assigned?
Answer: Hello there, thanks for writing in. When online vendors list their diamonds for sale, the stones are actually filtered and organized based on the individual vendor's own set of standards. For example, one vendor might assign an Excellent cut grade to a princess diamond with 71% depth and 67% table while another vendor might assign a Very Good cut grade to the same diamond.
Next, the numbers and proportion charts found on our website are just guidelines we think nice looking fancies might fall in. There are really no hard and fast rules when it comes to selecting fancies. As we had mentioned in the tables, they are there merely to act as guidelines to help you out. And the truth is, we can't place a figure to correlate a fancy's visual beauty based on the table and depth proportions only.
Besides that, the polish and symmetry grading of a fancy is really unrelated to how the diamond will look in real life. Very often, you will find that a Very Good/Good diamond can look a lot better than another diamond with Excellent/Excellent polish and symmetry.
When buying fancies, the best way would be to see the stones in person. However, this is not a luxury many people can enjoy because most local jewelers don't carry enough of them for you to cherry pick and to make good comparisons.
The next best option for you is to work with vendors who can help you take an ASET image of your shortlisted diamond. This ASET photograph can help you "determine" the diamond's light performance and enables you to infer how it looks like in real life.
ASET images will reveal the diamond's light performance
As you can see, the cushion cut diamond on the right has better light performance than the one on the left. This translates to more sparkle and brightness in the stone. Without seeing the diamond in person or ASET (for online purchases), there is no way to tell the differences in optics between them.
Very informative article. Thanks alot! What happens if the vendor doesn't want to or can't provide the ASET image?
I would recommend you to work with stores or jewelers who can provide you with these images if you are buying online.
Both James Allen and Brian Gavin Diamonds offer this service to their customers for free.
If you are buying diamonds in person, the alternative would be to eyeball the stone and check out the optics yourself. Of course, you'll be at a disadvantage in the jewelry stores since the bright halogen lights are designed to make even the poorest cut stones sparkle.

Adam Sage reports for The Times:
Fears that al-Qaeda is planning an attack on the nuclear industry in Europe were renewed yesterday after French secret agents arrested a physicist working at an atomic research centre.
The 32-year-old man, who was detained with his brother, 25, is suspected of providing a list of terrorist targets to North African Islamic radicals. He worked for the European Organisation for Nuclear Research (CERN) in Geneva, Switzerland, according to French police sources.
Agents were said to have intercepted messages in which the physicist, a Frenchman of Algerian origin, had suggested targets in France.
He is believed to have been in contact with members of al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb, an Algerian-based terror organisation that joined Osama bin Laden's network in 2007.

I want to make a post. So I login and log in. It tells me JimmyJack you are now logged in. I go make the post and hit the preview button. It takes me to the login page and tells me that I am not logged in. So I login the 2nd time and it takes me back to the post page that is now blank. Not the first time this has happened.
So today I come to make this post and when I hit the submit button It takes me to a page that tells me that I cannot post so soon after the last post. But it didn't make the last post. It logged me out and made me log back in and wiped my last post.
I am going to hit the submit button now. If anything happens to me ... Tell my wife I love her. ... And not to look under the bed.
