Offutt Air Force Base, situated just south of Omaha in Bellevue, Neb., has served America's defense across three centuries – from breaking ground as Fort Crook in the late 1800s through today's new U.S. Strategic Command headquarters, Offutt has deep roots in eastern Nebraska.
OPPD had its own beginnings near the end of World War I, around the same time Offutt saw its first aerial units take to the skies. For much of the century since, the two institutions have enjoyed a strong, storied relationship.
Offutt's role as an installation essential to sustaining the nation's defense means keeping reliable power flowing to the base, and its nearly 9,000 personnel, is at the very core of that relationship.
OPPD account executive Steve Sauer has worked with the Air Combat Command's 55th Wing for 10 years. During that time, he's fostered working relationships with a series of 55th Wing Civil Engineering Squadron leaders, as well as some of the installation's most noteworthy tenant units, including the 557th Weather Wing (the Air Force's primary weather agency) and USSTRATCOM (America's strategic deterrence and response organization).
"They trust us," said Sauer, speaking about the district's role in delivering power to the base, and often going beyond the meter to advise on topics such as energy efficiency. "It's an excellent relationship. They're definitely one of our most unique customers."
That relationship has evolved over the years, with the construction and retirement of multiple substations, some fully and others partially dedicated to powering the base. Offutt used to be a wholesale electricity customer and, more recently, has moved to a hybrid energy customer and customer delivery model. In the mid-2000s, the Department of Defense sold the majority of Offutt's electrical distribution systems to OPPD and entered into a 50-year custom contract with the district.
The new USSTRATCOM headquarters, currently nearing its final stages of construction, has driven part of the base's demand for dedicated power. However, the base's overall energy demand has actually seen a decrease. And that's a success story of its own.
Sauer said Offutt has been systematically investing in upgrades to its heating and cooling systems, both to sustain reliability and increase energy efficiency. OPPD experts played a big part in that process, consulting on multiple construction and renovation projects.
"We've seen their demand actually drop by three to four megawatts, mainly because of efficiency efforts and the OPPD energy partnership," he noted.
Large-volume customers, especially one with such a crucial mission as Offutt's, have unique round-the-clock power needs and, when severe weather strikes, OPPD operations staff and line technicians work alongside Air Force engineers and operations staff to rapidly restore power. The storm that struck Bellevue in June 2017 – the fourth-largest to OPPD's service territory – affected large portions of the base's energy infrastructure, and OPPD was quick to respond and help restore service.
Recognizing Offutt's unquestionable importance to the region is one reason OPPD backs the Greater Omaha Chamber of Commerce's efforts to support the broader military community. The people of Offutt Air Force Base, including service members from all branches of the armed forces, the civilians that work alongside them and the families that support them, are woven directly into this region's fabric, and OPPD proudly empowers them all.

We were nestled in the back country over the Easter break with a small cabin, hearty fireplace, and a balcony which offered a view of the world. On Saturday I took advantage of the warm sun and rented snow shoes for a rendezvous with nature.
"What trail is the best to do?"
"Trail? Just go out to the middle of the lake."
"Well, is there a trail?"
"Yes. But you should just stay on the lake."
"You need to avoid the avalanche run-off and the other trail is icy."
"The lake is the perfect condition for snowshoeing and it's beautiful. Keep it simple!"
I slid on my snow shoes and listened to the crackle of snow beneath my feet. It felt like the perfect morning as I wandered out to the middle of the lake admiring the spectacular views.
I was alone in the silence there was no chatter in my head, no noise coming from behind, just the sound of the birds in the trees as the warm sun began to beat down on my face. It was by keeping it simple, avoiding the ice, that I was able to enjoy such a peaceful experience. Sometimes the least resistance can be the best path to take on the unknown journey.
How do you keep it simple?

A recent article (Oct. 12, Page A-3, and Oct. 14, www.modbee.com) shows how incompetent the Bush administration has run the war and our fiscal policy. The article states that the Pentagon awarded our brave soldiers bonuses to re-enlist rather than join Blackwater for higher pay. The bonuses amount to an average of $18,000 per year (for six-year re-enlistment) and $8,000 for a one-year extension. If a soldier decides to work for Blackwater, he would be paid about $120,000 per year. However, Blackwater is a Department of Defense contractor, paid by taxpayers, so the Bush administration is competing with itself by spending more money to resolve a problem it actually created.

Along with back pain, headaches are the most common form of chronic, recurring pain. Although many people think that headaches invariably indicate some severe underlying pathology such as a brain tumor, in fact most headaches are primary ones that have no such identifiable pathology and do not require further workup. Furthermore, the most common type of secondary headaches, medication overuse headaches, result from the treatment of primary headaches. It is also important to note that when severe underlying pathology is present, there are usually "red flags" that indicate the need for further workup.
1. Which of the following are considered "red flags" that indicate the possibility that severe underlying pathology may be the cause of a headache?
A. A change in mental status
B. The worst headache the person has ever experienced
C. Presence of fever
D. First onset of headache after age 50
E. All of the above
2. The most common type of headache is:
A. Tension-type headache
B. Migraine with aura
C. Migraine without aura
D. Cluster headache
3. Based on current research, it is clear that migraine with aura and migraine without aura have similar etiologies and are markedly different from tension-type headaches.
A. True
B. False
4. The word "tension" in tension-type headache refers to muscle tightness.
A. True
B. False
5. Which of the following are characteristic of tension-type headache?
A. Non-pulsating
B. Usually aggravated by routine physical activity
C. Usually bilateral
D. All of the above
E. A and C

Joe Jeremy: The problem with 3D coordinated cueing is that the technology that would ultimately make the whole concept simple and accurate is, quite frankly, too expensive. Ultimately, every single object in motion, and any object that interacts with an object in motion on stage, would have its location identified in three-dimensional space, and the systems controlling them

Traditional methods of fertility awareness either rely on single parameter or are very cumbersome to keep a track of the fertility signs.
But Ela's algorithm takes into account various health vitals from user's body by syncing with health devices like Fitbit & Google Fit and augments itself with other physical and emotional parameters. Ela derives data insights about fertility, ovulation and overall menstrual cycle and gets intelligent day by day.
Ela's technology is build in collaboration with fertility scientists, professors and expert gynecologists and obstetricians in the field of women's health. The mathematical-model built for menstrual cycle and fertility prediction is more than 98.7% accurate. With an esteemed team of doctors and academic professors behind Ela science, Ela has become the world's largest fertility platform providing entire gamut of services right from fertility awareness, tracking, discussions & treatments. All these esteemed individuals form an integral part of Ela's scientific advisory board.
Over the years, Ela has developed multiple patents in the field of women's health especially focused on managing fertility and reproductivity.
Device and Method to determine Fertility Window based on Skin Temperature and Heart Rate Variability
It presents device and a method to predict fertile window of a female by analyzing user's skin temperature and change in resting heart rate recorded at regular time intervals. The obtained data is collected for a particular user over a period of multiple menstrual cycles.
System and Method to Track and Predict Female Fertility Phase and determine chances of Conception
It provides a system and method to collect and chart fertility signs and track fertile timing and ovulation of female during menstrual cycle thereby improving the odds of conception by female. Further, based on predicted fertile window, various coitus positions are suggested to improve the chances of conception.
"Several Clinical trials including focus groups and experiments have been conducted over the years to perfect Ela's prediction algorithm in the field of Women Fertility."
Recently, Ela's research team also performed a cohort study of 1482 selected users/patients (aged between 18 to 39 years from different geographies) to predict the accuracy of Ela's Technology and Algorithms. These users used Ela's mobile-application to feed in data for a combined 5691 menstrual cycles.
Table below shows several of those fertility signs and body parameters of users that were collected for Ela's research:
|Parameters Collected
|Previous cycle start date and Average Cycle length (days)
|Days of Menstrual flow
|BBT (manual)*
|Cervical mucus
|Cervical position
|Ovulation test
|*Resting Heart Rate (ms)
|Quality / Property
|28-29 days average
|Average 4-5 days
|in oC / oF
|Dry, Sticky, Creamy, Egg white, Watery
|Low Hard Open, Low Hard Close, High Soft Open, Low Hard Close
|Based on tracker inputs
* Basal Body Temperature (BBT): Your body temperature changes due to hormonal changes during a menstrual cycle. Ela's algorithm is trained to identify your fertility window based on the changes in your basal body temperature. Body temperature rises during ovulation phase making it a good indicator to detect fertility window.
** Resting Heart rate: Resting Heart Rate (HR) is the number of heartbeats per minute. Its typical value for an adult lies between 60 to 100 beats per minute. Generally, a low HR indicates rest, while a high HR corresponds with exercise or exertion. The resting heart rate varies in your body based on the phase of the menstrual cycle. With Ela's technology by observing heart rate parameter, we are able to establish a robust correlation between heart rate and different phases of menstrual cycle.
Ela's patented algorithm computes ovulation day (including Average Ovulation Day over 6 cycles), cycle length, and luteal phase length; based on which the fertile window is calculated. It is then perfected over a six period cycles based on user health vitals which is further tuned basis machine learning techniques. Processes have been defined in the below tables with the achieved accuracy at each stage.
Below table in lines the other patented processes which when inputted into the system, further increases the accuracy of the Ela Algorithm to 98.7%.
|Process Conducted over BBT Charting (combined with BBT)
|Cervical Mucus (CM)
|Cervical position (CP)
|Both CM and CP
|Resting Heart Rate Variability (RHRV)
|All Three - Heart Rate Variability, CM, CP
|Accuracy of Prediction
This means that once the user starts inputting her complete vitals in the App with good regularity the App gets intelligent enough to take the accuracy of prediction to as high as 98.7%, while forecasting the fertile window. Ela recommends its users to use the App comprehensively & input key parameters including BBT, CM and CP regularly in the App.
With Ela's Algorithm, users can detect accurate fertile window even for those whose cycle length and periods are highly variable.

Hey Everyone!
How I want to live my life has been on my mind a lot lately. I don't want to let my life slip by, or be adrift and one day wake up and be like "how on earth did I get here?"
I want to live my life with intention, and have a purpose for how and why I do things.
I am very much someone who has to work with their hands, whether I am knitting, or cooking, baking, canning, gardening, fishing or building things. I am very much Homemaking inclined, but not in the modern sense of the word. More so in the traditional, pioneer, frontier sense of the word, where women very much did tend to the home, as well as spent time outdoors. They gardened, gathered berries, raised chickens, and possibly helped with the other farm animals they raised.
While I have the benefits of electricity, natural gas, solar panels (for solar energy), as well as indoor plumbing and the internet, I am at a point in my life where if I had the opportunity to live on some property, and be more self sufficient, I wouldn't miss living in the big city all that much.
I know I have written about having lived in a couple small towns in as close to the middle of nowhere as you can get in the Willamette Valley while I was in college. I loved being out there, and going for drives through farm country. That was were I was living the most true to who I really am, that I have to date.
Even if I can't have as big of a garden as I would like, and have to live in town, without the animals; being able to live in a small town in a more rural setting, but am still able to come to the city to get the variety of dairy free & gluten free food I am used to, I would be fine.
I have loved learning about how common, normal women lived their daily lives between the 1930's – the 1950's. I loved hearing my grandmother talk about how life was during the Great Depression and the Second World War. Hearing about how when something broke, you fixed it. They fixed it because either a) replacements for said items weren't available, b) they couldn't afford to replace it, or, c) both a and b were true. I had gotten thinking about that today when one of my sock needles broke. I am unable to purchase a new set at the moment, and without the needle that broke, I wouldn't be able to continue working on socks. So I had to fix it, and fix it I did.
I am working on living a more intentional life, where I have a job where I can work with my hands, and live a simpler way of life, and not need to have so many new things, and fix what I can, and build from scratch.

Dust off your welly boots, winter walks along the river bank can be quite magical, the rivers are quiet and the wildlife in abundance - the sheer tranquility is a million miles away from the hustle and bustle of the city. For keen fishermen this is an ideal time to hook those 'monster pike' that lurk around the boatyard dykes at this time of the year. When the chill starts to nip, pop into one of the many riverside pubs or tea rooms for a glass of mulled wine or hot chocolate and something delicious to eat. With Roys of Wroxham on our doorstep, you can easily buy those last minute gifts or shop for your Christmas lunch without the hassle of driving to a large 'out of town' supermarket - we really do have everything you need for your festivities right here in Wroxham!
Our Daisy Broad Lodges* can sleep up ten people and are perfect for large families or groups of friends, so why not arrange a big get-together this year without the worry of wondering where everyone will sleep.

* Coot & Grebe have an interconnecting door so that the properties can be linked, sleeping 16-20 people.
The Boat House & The Sail Loft - Modern apartments ideal for families or groups of friends sharing, each bedroom has it's own en-suite facilities and large picture windows or private balconies to enjoy the views.

Christmas is a time of giving. We give gifts to make people we like or love happy. However, let's say you buy your friend Cornelius a sweater you think is great, but the Cornmeister thinks looks like puke. There is a 90% chance old Corny will smile and say, "Thanks, I love it" and then get an overwhelming feeling of guilt because now he has this pukey sweater he doesn't like and will have to drag out every now and then when you visit to prove to you, the gift giver, that he loves it and wears it on a regular basis. So in essence, the gift you gave Cornelius was not only an ugly sweater, but also a gift bag full of guilt and discomfort. That's not what you had in mind, is it? You love Corny, why would you give him that? Jerk.
Everyone has been in Corny's shoes at one point or another, so they know how Corny felt. Well, there are two ways to make any gift you give guilt free. In the end, Corny will thank you.
#1. Before giving Corny the gift, explain that if he doesn't like it, it's okay. No problem. Tell him you want nothing more than for him to be happy on this joyous occasion. This lead-in will imbue Corny with the courage to speak up should he hate the gift. He needs to know you're cool and aren't going to flip out if the gift flops.
#2. Include a gift receipt with the gift. Don't tell Cornholio (he hates when you call him that) you have a gift receipt if he needs it. It's a simple step, include the gift receipt with the gift so Corn on the Cob doesn't have to call you up on a later date and have that awkward conversation,
"Hey, it's your buddy Cornelius, remember that, um, swamp green knitted sweater you got me? You know, the one with the flashing lights on it? Well, I don't really like it like I said I did, and now I don't know what to do with it, and um, can I get that gift receipt?"
Because Corny, like most people, would rather stuff the ugly sweater in his closet for ten years rather than have such a terribly awkward conversation. You just spent $50 to make someone feel guilty and take up room in his closet. Have you seen Corny's closet? It's not big.
Follow the steps above and Corny can get the gift he wants. If you're Corny (ya, you wish), make sure to be considerate, tell the gift giver you liked the sweater, but it didn't fit right, or you already have a sweater just like it and tell the gift giver you appreciate that they're cool about you returning it. Problem solved.

A 3-series/S4 killer from America?!Baffled. It's the one word my colleague used to describe the look on my face minutes after I picked up the all-new Cadillac ATS.
Baffled. It's the one word my colleague used to describe the look on my face minutes after I picked up the all-new 2013 Cadillac ATS 3.6. The XTS was a pleasant surprise to drive, but in all honesty, this thing is just another level of great. Having the uniqueness of being the first vehicle on the all-new Alpha platform by GM, I wasn't all that excited to drive the car. Sure, my fellow auto writers have been raving about it for some time now, but in all honesty, nothing from General Motors lately has tickled my fancy. Evidently, I was dead wrong. The entry-level luxo-sport sedan segment is one of my favourites. Till now, with players like the BMW 335i, the Audi S4, the Mercedes C350, and even the slightly obsolete Lexus IS350, there hadn't really been a "bad" choice in the segment. I'm personally a sucker for the Audi S4, loving its simplicity and all-around awesomeness.
Cadillac decided to put me in the top-of-the-line ATS 3.6 Premium with the AWD and 6-speed automatic. I've driven a couple other vehicles with the same 3.6L, most recently the Cadillac XTS, and came out slightly underwhelmed. Obviously the fact that the XTS weighs nearly as much as the White House played a role in that. The only way to describe the power delivery of the ATS is that the car flies down the road. The exhaust note sounds great, power delivery is smooth, throttle response is potentially the sharpest I've felt in a GM product, and the powertrain of the car just overall oozes confidence. I'll even go as far as to say that the driving dynamics are 90% at the level of the current Audi S4. Coming from the mouth of somebody who absolutely adores the S4, that is not a statement to be taken lightly.
There is a lot of buzz in the world of automotive media around the fact that the ATS is available with GM's 2.0L turbocharged engine and a 6-speed manual. A true purist at heart, I recall nearly jumping out of my seat when I first heard that news. After having driven this 3.6L though, my only complaint is the price point, but more on that a little later. The drivetrain has 3 selectable modes: Tour, Sport, and Snow/Ice. Naturally, I did the majority of my driving throughout my test period in Sport mode, and boy, does this thing deliver. I had it in manual-shift mode 99% of the time and I can safely say that these are the most convenient paddle shifters currently available on a mainstream car. They're large, they don't feel flimsy, and the 6-speed transmission does a superb job of shifting exactly when you want it to. Downshifts sound incredible, too. The downside to all of this is that I averaged a nice 12.4L/100km in "spirited" driving. Unlike anything else it competes with, the ATS does take regular grade fuel.
$58,465. Yes, you heard me. Fully loaded, that's what this ATS will run you back. Optioned with the S-tronic double-clutch gearbox and the sport differential, a 2013 Audi S4 will set you back just about $56,000. That car probably ties the ATS in the aesthetics department, but in terms of the transmission and overall feel of the Audi, it's no competition. I don't think there's any way I'd spend the extra money on the ATS if the S4 can be had for less. Also, the best part of the S4 is the lack of the ATS' CUE (Cadillac User Experience) multimedia interface.
I love technology, and I love the integration of this technology into the automotive industry, but there are certain multimedia setups that I just don't like. MyFordTouch is one of them. Having said that, I'd actually hand over bundles of cash just to ensure that a vehicle I buy eliminates the CUE system altogether. While the selectable menus and displays in the instrument cluster are great, the huge touch-screen in the dashboard and the "buttons" below it are absolutely atrocious. It's glitchy, it's slow, the haptic feedback is sluggish to a point of unbearable, and I just want it to go away. I typically listen to my trusty 160GB iPod Classic, and give the occasional glance to satellite radio. With CUE, even these simple tasks are made difficult. In fact, if I was previously listening to a track buried deep into the playlists of my iPod, turn off the car, then upon my return, remote-start it, my song memory disappears. I have to find the song again by scrolling through thousands of albums. Ridiculous.
All negativity towards CUE aside, my ATS did come beautifully equipped. The seats were finished in a lovely Caramel colour, and the car comes with pretty much everything you can think of. Heated front seats, the GM heads-up display which I so dearly love, HID headlamps, lane departure warnings, collision warnings, and a factory remote starter. Sunroof and the other typical stuff is naturally standard. The neatest thing that seemed to impress everyone that came across the car over the holidays was the fact that the exterior door handles on the ATS are lit up by a neat LED strip. Very classy. Arguably tacky on the black XTS I recently drove, the lights just work much better on the White Diamond Tricoat ATS. Another cool feature also present on my ATS is the OnStar-branded app available for my iPhone 5. This app allows me to start, unlock, lock, or panic the car from anywhere in the world provided I'm in cell phone range. It also displays how much gas is in the ATS at any point in time, along with oil life and the odometer reading. Neat, but to my dismay, I discovered that this app is less than reliable, as it refused to work on numerous occasions.
I've long been known to be a troll towards German machines. Naturally, being given the privilege of driving nearly everything under the sun creates a certain level of objectivity in my eyes, but I had yet to be truly impressed by a product by GM. This car seems to have done it. I've been driving the ATS for a week, and I still can't stop raving about it to every single person I come across. It's at a point where I either need to buy one, or shut up. Frankly, if Cadillac steps up their game and gets rid of CUE, I just might do the former. It really and truly is that good.

re: Pics: Accidents in India
That leads me to thinking::-
- The intersection is wide open from all sides. I mean the walls are of short height. So it is highly unlikely that the Swift driver could not see the biker, or the biker could not see a bright white car coming from another side. Highly unlikely case.
- The roads look narrow. Probably a community area, or a campus, or a military campus (i can see some Army-men). So somebody was speeding within a closed campus, but why ?
- Probably "I can make it" thought passed through the mind of both the driver and the rider at the same time.
Basically an amalgamation of mis-judgement and speeding lead to this disaster.
We would like to hear the fact from you, so that we can be alert, to avoid similar situations in our lives.

re: Pics: Accidents in India
Here is what happened. My wife was alone in the car at the time of the accident. If you look at the last picture of my post, the pic of the point of collision, she was in fact going from right to left and the biker was coming from the direction where the SX4 is parked. She had actually almost crossed the intersection when from nowhere he rammed into the car. The guy was an Army jawan in uniform. My wife pressed on the brakes after this guy actually came and hit her. It was an empty road. If you look closely and zoom into the picture of the car taken from the front, you will notice that the road that my wife was travelling is actually a bend and it has a Military Police barrier 100m before this intersection. Anyways what is shameful for the Army chaps is what happened after the accident. My wife stopped and it took her a couple of minutes to get out of the car because the driver's side door was stuck and she was mentally shaken. The biker was badly hurt, we came to know later that he has multiple fractures to his leg, shoulder, and arm. My wife walked back to this guy. He was laying on the road. At that moment she realized that she was bleeding from her face as a result of the driver's side window smashing and hitting her face. After a couple of minutes someone stopped and took this guy to the Military Hospital. Within no time troops from this unit surrounded my wife and started misbehaving with her and accusing her of causing the accident. She had called me in the meantime and it took me about 15 minutes to reach the spot. These troops demanded the car keys from her and when she refused saying that her husband is on the way and they can talk to him and that she was not running away as she had stopped herself, one of the havaldars actually had the audacity to push her, grab her hand, and snatch the keys from her. I reached the spot and saw her surrounded by these men in uniform all the while she was bleeding from her face. When I asked her to go to the hospital in my car, these troops said that they had been ordered by their officers to detain whoever had caused the accident. I reasoned with them that they have already sent their man to hospital and they can't deny medical assistance to an accident victim, they started pushing and shoving me around. Finally I was able to drill some sense into their heads and they allowed her to go the Military Hospital, but escorted by two jawans. The officers arrived on the scene 1 hour after the accident and with the preconceived notion that my wife had caused the accident. They have filed an FIR against her of driving rashly, banging into the guy, and dragging him for some distance.
Instead of helping a lady in distress, this is how the Army treated her. Shameful. I myself am a son of an Air Force fighter pilot and my wife is the daughter of an Army officer. We have spent almost all of our lives in cantonments around the country, but never have we ever come across or heard of such unruly behavior by troops. It is such a sad state of affairs.

It's a shameful story, these guys are the protectors of the country? I'd hate to have a run in with them or their contemporaries, as they say, there's no point arguing with idiots, 'cause they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience!

On the accident: from the point of impact and the direction from which the bike came, it doesn't appear that he was going straight. If he indeed was, then he was in the wrong lane. It seems both the car and the bike were taking a turn into the same lane from opposite directions. The bike must have been at high-speed.

My wife did the civilized thing to stop after the accident. The troops are not to be squarely blamed my friend, it is the officers who should have reined them in. Complete leadership failure. These troops kept saying that they had "aadesh" from the officers to detain the lady and take the car keys in their "kabza"
Talking about connections in the Army, the current Army Chief General Bikram Singh is my dad's junior from school and a very good friend. I too am an alumnus of the same school.

re: Pics: Accidents in India
I remember my father sending a newspaper cutting to me many years back where he had highlighted the fact that if a driver is without license then he voids all claims in case of an accident even if the fault is not his.
I was driving my cousin's kinetic honda in high school :(
That true?

An accident is an accident - no one causes it intentionally. In this case Jawan driver was drunk. I would like to know if this Jawan walked away or punished for murder?
Ganesha festival turned tragic for four people who were killed on the spot when an Army truck went berserk on Mysore Road near Doddabele Junction, Kengeri, Karnataka, on 11 Sep 2013.
The truck driver, an Army sepoy, was found heavily drunk. He has been identified as Jyothiba Maruti Belgaonkar, 31, hailing from Belgaum.
Going by the morale of the country, looks like no one one wants to join the Army these days and they are recruiting goons these days for the army

Point 2 : Everyone who drives under influence need not be classified as GOON. Again re-iterating that he IS at Fault.
Point 3 : It is advisable NOT to generalize the whole profession on one person's random act of irresponsibility.
Just my two cents, No offense.

CVO & Co-Founder, Gail Doby Coaching & Consulting & Design Success University
Consumer attitudes have changed dramatically in the past decade. While the internet and HGTV have expanded interest in interior design, they have also created an army of DYI "savvy" shoppers who may choose to purchase their own furnishings and handle other parts of their project. Consumers have always been the biggest competitors for your services over other interior designers, and now they are more aware of design options than ever before. You have to work harder to convince clients they should hire you. That doesn't mean, however, that you should take whatever client comes your way.
We can be our own worst enemies when establishing client relationships. Your decisions about whom you select as ideal clients should involve more than just the potential for revenue. Please don't take a client just because you need or want the business. Here's my advice for how to prevent client disasters.
1. Decide how and with whom you will and won't work before you have your next conversation with a prospective client. If you haven't completed the exercise of clearly defining your ideal client, it should include demographics (age, income level, profession [I found some types of professionals difficult to work with]), psychographics (likes, dislikes and values), personality characteristics, and technographics (their knowledge of and preference for email, texting, use of online tools, etc.). I also suggest you include specific personality traits or other attributes you prefer to avoid. If someone has worked with more than one designer and they are critical of all of them, run the other way. You'll save yourself a tremendous amount of stress, time and money by avoiding difficult clients. Add the qualifying questions to your telephone interview list so you determine the deal-breakers before you spend time meeting in person.
2. Create a script for your questions and for your initial conversations with your prospects and your clients. As Harv Eker, a savvy businessman said, "How you do anything is how you do everything." Establish your professionalism, process and dialogue from the very beginning. Practice in front of a mirror if you aren't comfortable practicing with friends, colleagues or family members.
3. Compile a list of issues or questions that you've encountered with previous clients and turn that into a Frequently Asked Questions About Working With An Interior Designer report. Offer this FAQ to your prospective clients prior to your first meeting. You'll have an entirely different conversation if you surface the issues early.
4. Work on your courage and self esteem. Many of the biggest problems that arise with clients are due to the fear of asking questions that may appear nosy, such as how much they've budgeted or decided to invest, for fear of how a client or prospect will react. How do you handle this? Be proactive. Think about what can and has gone wrong in previous client relationships. How can you address this in the beginning part of your relationship with your clients? Having the difficult conversations before you begin your client relationship ensures that it will be much smoother, or you will at least have a means to address the problems when they arise.
5. Ask your clients how they prefer to work. Do they want to do their own purchasing? Do they want you to purchase some items for them? Do they want you to purchase everything for them? Explain the benefits of you managing the process for them as well as the problems that occur when you don't manage the entire process. If you don't want to allow your clients to do their own purchasing, then you need to address this before signing a contract. It will be too late afterwards when a new piece of furniture unexpectedly arrives without your knowledge or assistance.
6. Explain and discuss billing options. Almost 70 percent of all consumers prefer a fixed fee. How do you work? Are you billing by the hour with a mark-up? This puts you in a position of providing design services that are a commodity. I've lost jobs to designers who have a lower hourly fee. It doesn't matter that I'm more efficient and my business is more automated than less expensive designers. The client is only comparing cost, not quality. You're also limited to how many hours you or your staff can bill. Even the most affluent clients are often stunned when they receive large invoices for time billed. When this happens, you lose trust, and potentially, a lot of money. Your clients might choose to trim your scope of work, and then you lose control of your project, future referrals, and your profits. What clients want are predictability, a sense of control, and a result that is based on emotional benefits.
7. Discuss in advance how you will both handle "x" when it occurs, such as,
- When they find a product for less money on the internet that you quoted at a higher price
- When a problem occurs with a product or service provided by you
- When they add to the scope of work and it isn't included in your contract
- When they change their minds after the order is placed
- When you don't receive payments for your services as agreed in your contract
- When they don't discuss the amount they are willing to invest and your design exceeds the amount they had established in their mind
- When the client receives your early billings for time if you are billing this way
If such an issue occurs, you can then refer them back to the initial conversation. For instance, "Do you remember we talked about this during one of our first meetings? This is what we agreed we do, and now this is how we need to handle this situation."
8. Allow your clients the option to purchase some items on their own. Wouldn't you prefer to control the custom furnishings orders that require your expertise, problem-solving skills and detail management? If a client has a secondary room such as a basement recreation area that is used by their children, why encourage them to spend money on custom furnishings when using retail items is more appropriate? Your relationship with the client changes to one of a trusted advisor when you aren't trying to make them purchase everything through you with your mark-up. The exception might be the ultra-affluent clients that don't want to deal with the headaches of purchasing, managing deliveries and installations, no matter what the item.
9. Discuss deadlines before you sign a contract. This is one of the biggest reasons interior designers are sued. If a client's deadline is unrealistic, you must address this and decide how to handle it before you start a project. You need a clear contract, and I recommend taking out professional liability insurance for every designer on your team. Just one lawsuit could lead to business failure and even bankruptcy.
10. Explain your process. Most consumers misunderstand our work as interior designers. Be proactive and explain very clearly how you work, why your work that way, and the benefits you bring to them.

text: LUBBOCK, TEXAS — The son of a former Panamanian president was arrested after allegedly threatening to kill President Bush because of the Panama invasion. Otto Lakas, 21, a student at Lubbock Christian University, was being held in Lubbock County Jail Thursday. Lakas is a son of Demetrio B. Lakas, who was Panamanian president from 1972 to 1978.

Thousands of inmates set to be released early under new plans
THOUSANDS of inmates could be released from jail early thanks to a new scheme set up to reduce overcrowding in cells.
Plans set up by Justice Secretary Michael Gove would see jail terms slashed for inmates.
The plans could allow more prisoners to be let out on day release to work while being monitored by satellite trackers.
Such devices would enable a new form of semi-custodial sentences, where prisoners can return to their cells for the weekend.
More foreign inmates would also be released at least nine months early, but only if they agreed to leave the country, according to the report.
In July, an annual report from the chief inspector of prisons criticised the UK's jails, warning they were in their worst state for 10 years.
Staff cuts and overcrowding also had a "significant impact" on safety, while some inmates were languishing in cockroach-infested cells, prompting one staff member at London's Wormwood Scrubs to say: "I wouldn't keep a dog in there."
"Protecting the public is our first responsibility and we won't compromise on that for any reason"Ministry of Justice spokesman
It was also partially fuelled by the growing popularity of "legal" high drugs.
A Ministry of Justice spokesman said: "We want foreign criminals deported as quickly as possible.
"We also want to ensure the sentences handed down to British criminals keep all our citizens safe.
"Protecting the public is our first responsibility and we won't compromise on that for any reason."
Mr Gove said prisoners should not be punished when they were in jail.
He said: "Sending someone to a cell is punishment itself."

Some people are just meant to become entrepreneurs. When you ask them what they want to do in their careers, they tell you that they cannot stand working for someone else. Quite simply, they want to be their own boss.
These individuals are usually some of the most ambitious people you know and aren't afraid to try to do things their own way to achieve success and give something valuable back to the community. While each entrepreneur's incentives may vary, the most successful ones first think about how they can make life easier for other people, and usually that is the primary motivator for starting their own company.
See Also: There Are 8 Types of Entrepreneurs: Which Are You?
While becoming your own boss may sound easy in reality it isn't. According to Forbes, about 80 percent of businesses fail within the first 18 months and they fail for various reasons. Perhaps the failure occurred because of a problematic business strategy, a non-profitable business model or even ineffective interaction with the target audience. Knowing this before you start your own business is vital information so that you know what to avoid when working on your business plan.
Even though the numbers might be discouraging: sometimes failure is good. After all, success is all about perspectives. Just as Soichiro Honda has said, "Success is 99 percent failure" and you should learn how to embrace it. Either way, you will never know what it means to be an entrepreneur unless you try. Even if it fails, at least you can proudly say that you have tried and eliminated the 'what-ifs' in your career. And just because the first startup failed doesn't mean that the second won't thrive.
So, here are some of the most profound signs that you should become your own boss:
#1 You Want to Follow Your Passion
After holding numerous jobs, you realise it is time to invest in your passion project. This has long been your goal after all, but you waited for the right opportunity to come along. Many successful entrepreneurs have found themselves in the same situation but these guys actually took that leap of faith and pursued their passion projects. They just went for it.
#2 You Don't Take Commands
You know you are born-to-be an entrepreneur when you prefer to be a leader instead of a follower. Better yet, the commander instead of the soldier. You may be a strong team player, but you know that you can't be bossed around easily. However, you can imagine yourself bossing other people around. Also, becoming your own boss means that you don't do things you don't want to do, and you can't get fired, unless you decide to quit. So there is no one telling you that you didn't arrive at work on time, or that you dressed inappropriately for a meeting.
#3 You Want to be Responsible for Your Success
Considering becoming your own boss means that, you want to take your career into your own hands, quite literately. You don't want your professional development to be confined to the limited opportunities a single job offers or let it be determined by someone else. You probably have a strong desire to develop yourself in any way possible and help those around you to the best of your abilities. Simply put, you'd rather take the whole basket, than just the eggs.
#4 You Hate Routine
Some people are content with the fact that they will wake up every day at 7am and go home at 5pm, leaving work-related problems at the office door. They feel comfortable with routine and they can't live without some sort of structure in their lives. Becoming a boss however, would mean that you will be all over the place and even when you leave the office your mind will still be working out your next move. Also, you would be managing not only your life but also the lives of another 10 or 100 people depending on how big your company is.
#5 You Are a Frequent Risk-taker
If you often take risks in your professional life, then you will love making life-threating decisions that relate to your company. This is because the fear of failure doesn't stop you; instead it encourages you to take action and go after the things you want to achieve. You like to experiment, and you keep a list of ideas you want to try out so you wouldn't mind taking some risks to see where they take you. Taking risks, however, isn't for everyone, and being impulsive isn't a quality entrepreneurs are particularly proud of.
#6 You Want to Make More Money
Becoming your own boss is not a guarantee you will get more money, but it will probably increase your sources of income. It will also help you manage your finances. Likewise, even though money isn't the only reward that you get from starting a business, it should count for something, especially if you are trying to build a life for you and your family. You will have a better idea of where your money is going and you should be able to better provide for the future as well as improve your quality of life.
See Also: Top 10 Quotes for Entrepreneurial Success
If becoming your own boss is what you are aiming for, those who have already been there and done that would advise you to start working on your project as soon as possible. While there is no rush, you don't want to waste any more time doing something that is not necessarily your thing. Need some help? Get yourself a mentor to guide you through the process and plan out your strategy.

The country's troubled legacy of conflict, environmental degradation, rapid urbanization and under-investment in water infrastructure has seriously affected the availability of drinking water, UNEP said in the study, unveiled to coincide with World Water Day.

Thanks for your response..♡
FibroMom3 did you sleep all night?
Lol I meant 75mg 3 times a day not 75mg for the whole day need to learn to proofread better...
I have been on Lyrica for about 18 months now. I started with 75mg. 3x a day but am now on 150mg 3x a day! I choose to take it 3x a day instead of in the am and at bedtime but I am already on quite a bit of meds between the fibro, chronic pain , and mental health issues. I had to stop working about 3 years ago because my job was way too physical so I am home when I do a medication change and do not have to really worry about waiting for my body to get used to the new med or dose! Hope this helps!

Hi I'm Carla, a lifestyle blogger based in Dubai who's thankful to call this ever evolving city my second home.The pages of this blog are filled with stories about me, our family, our expat life, and our dining and travel adventures in and around the city. It also features food recipes, restaurant reviews, parenting tips, all things about Dubai and tutorials.
I came to Dubai in December 2002 but started blogging in August 2009. The last seven years was amazing, I landed in Dubai and reunited with my immediate family, got a good job, met the man I will live with the rest of my life, got married, had our first baby and explored all the corners of UAE. I cannot asks for more but you know how expat life can be boring at times when you've been doing the same things over and over again. It was when I felt that my life was slowly slipping into monotony so I needed something to break free hence My Yellow Bells was born. I write just to empty my mind, to relieve stress and escape boredom back then. It somehow helped me keep my sanity and it gave me the satisfaction I was looking for.
5 years later...
My Yellow Bells is still here and we are still in the UAE. I am now a full pledge blogger and a mother of two. So far there are 380 post in this blog. It's not a lot if you consider the time it's online, I blog whenever I can because I'm also a full time employee, a mother and a wife so I need to keep the balance. My Yellow Bells became my constant outlet to express myself, it flourished the way I never thought it would. I make new friends online and met some of them personally. MYB has open new doors for me and I am truly grateful.
Thank you for visiting My Yellow Bells and hope to see you back soon. Please feel free to leave a comment so I would know you were here. I would love to visit your blog or reply to your message. It is because of you why this blog is still online, it's you who's actually keeping it alive. thank you in all the languages!
Should you wish to contact me privately, you can drop me an e-mail at

2013 BMW 6 Series Overview
What's New for the 2013 BMW 6 Series
Having been completely redesigned in 2012, the BMW 6 Series remains mostly unchanged for the 2013 model year. The engine has been upgraded, making this year's 6 Series more powerful – rising from 400 hp to 445 hp. Also, the V8's manual transmission is no longer available.
2013 BMW 6 Series Exterior
The BMW 6 Series is available as a convertible coupe, a two-door coupe, or a four-door sedan. The list of standard exterior equipment on the base-level 640i is exhaustive, and includes a turbocharged six-cylinder engine, automatic and adaptive xenon headlights with power washers, 18-inch wheels, an adaptive sport suspension, automatic wipers, parking sensors, heated power-folding mirrors, a large tilt-only sunroof, LED fog lights, and keyless ignition/entry.
2013 BMW 6 Series Performance
Powered by a turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-6 that produces 315 hp and 332 pound-feet of torque, the 2013 BMW 640i shows just the beginning of this car's potential. Move up a trim-level or two, and see what this car can really do. Rear-wheel drive and an eight-speed automatic transmission are standard across all 6 Series models.
2013 BMW 6 Series Efficiency
The 2013 BMW 640i is pretty darn efficient, thanks to its automatic stop-start function. The 640i's engine will automatically shut-off at stoplights to help save fuel. The EPA estimates 26 mpg combined fuel efficiency for the coupe and 24 mpg combined for the convertible.

New Delhi: CPI(M) on Friday blamed the Congress for disruption of Parliament proceedings for several days, saying normal functioning was seen by the ruling party as a "hindrance" as it did not have majority in both Houses on its own.
"The truth is that the ruling Congress party and the UPA
government are unwilling to abide by the tenets of
parliamentary democracy," party General Secretary Prakash
Karat has said.
In an article in the forthcoming issue of party organ
`People`s Democracy`, he said normal democratic functioning of
Parliament is seen as a hindrance because the Congress does
not have a secured majority in both Houses on its own.
Referring to the recent Cabinet decision to allow FDI in
multi-brand retail which was later put on hold, he said the
government "refused" to accept the opposition demand for a
debate in Parliament under rules that entailed voting.
Though it was for the Speaker to admit an adjournment
motion, "it is well known that this depends on the attitude of
the government" which "was not willing to face any motion that
would censure it. That is why Parliament got stalled," he
Karat said the lack of a stable majority in Lok Sabha was
the reason behind all the deadlock witnessed in Parliament
in the past two years.
The "refusal" to accept an adjournment motion on price
rise or a voting resolution on it led to disruption of the
House on two occasions, while similar "refusal" to set up a
joint parliamentary committee on 2G Spectrum scam disrupted
the entire Winter Session.
Despite its "precarious and uncertain majority" in Lok
Sabha, the UPA wanted to push through neo-liberal policies by
"undermining" parliamentary norms, he said, noting that the
number of average sittings declined from 100 in the 1980s to
below 50 in the past two years.
