Things We Think We Know in the Pac-12
Posted by Andrew Murawa (@Amurawa) on October 19th, 2015It's been a long and enjoyable summer, but, while staring out the window at a Los Angeles rainstorm, it's clear that summertime has come and gone, my oh my. No need to worry, though; that just means college basketball season is on the horizon. We're now less than a month away from the start of the regular season. Teams across the country already have their practice schedules in full swing. All of which means it is time to get the RTC Pac-12 microsite back up and running. We'll be with you here from now until that first weekend in April when the Final Four visits Houston. And maybe, just maybe, we'll be rewarded with a Pac-12 representative in our sports' final weekend for the first time since UCLA went back in 2008.
But all of that is a long way off. Today we'll just take the first few steps to gather our bearings for the journey ahead. At this stage, there's a lot of guesswork and uncertainty about what is to come. And as we're reminded on the regular in both arenas of sports and in life, surprises loom around every corner. So today, by way of getting reacquainted with the Pac-12 conference, let's take a look at what we know and what we will have to learn over the next five months.
Things We Know
New Faces – As always in college sports, there is rampant year-to-year turnover. It's baked into the pie. It's something we expect and something we love: getting to spend a full season figuring out all the new talents and personalities. In this year's edition of the Pac-12, there are some high impact new faces. First, there's a new head man patrolling the sidelines in Tempe, as Bobby Hurley takes over the reins for Herb Sendek at Arizona State. In terms of new players, the conference boasts six of the nation's top 25 recruiting classes (according to ESPN), including a couple landing in the top five. We're used to Sean Miller regularly pulling in sterling classes at Arizona, but the big news this season is that Cuonzo Martin welcomes a loaded recruiting class highlighted by power wing Jaylen Brown and skilled big man Ivan Rabb. Continuing the theme, there's plenty that we don't know about the newcomers, but we certainly know that we'll be keeping a close eye on Tempe, Tucson and Berkeley this season.
Returnees – Cal's Tyrone Wallace is the conference's leading returning scorer (17.1 PPG). Washington State's Josh Hawkinson also returns after leading the conference with 10.8 RPG last season. UCLA's Bryce Alford is the leading returning playmaker (4.9 APG), while two guys from the Beaver State are back after leading the conference in two key defensive statistics last year: Gary Payton II notched better than three steals per outing for Oregon State, while Jordan Bell averaged 2.7 blocked shots per night for the Ducks. Those are facts. We know this stuff. But mixed in here are plenty of things we don't know. For instance, with Wallace the point guard on a loaded Cal team and his history of a wayward jumper, will his scoring necessarily drop as he tries to get his talented teammates rolling? Likewise, after spending last year as the only real option as UCLA's point guard, Alford was regularly critiqued for his shot selection and his leadership. With some new talent alongside him in the Bruins' backcourt, will his role now change?
Things We Think We Know
Don't Count Out Arizona – It is easy to focus on everything that is missing from this season's Wildcats. Four starters from last season are gone: coach-on-the-floor T.J. McConnell; freaky forwards Stanley Johnson and Rondae Hollis Jefferson; and steady big man Brandon Ashley. Aside from senior center Kaleb Tarczewski, Sean Miller will be relying on a mixture of new recruits, newly eligible transfers and returnees asked to step into larger roles. There are a lot of questions at Arizona, for sure. But one thing we probably should have learned over Miller's six years in the desert is that he'll have his crew ready to once again compete for a conference title. Maybe not all these names and their games have yet established themselves, but make no mistake: There is no shortage of talent in Tucson.
Three Coaches on the Hot Seat – It's not fun to talk about, but it's a fact of life in the pressure-filled world of high-major basketball coaching. Every day, every game, every season is a performance review on how well you're doing your job. And, it doesn't matter if you're a guy like Washington's Lorenzo Romar, with 13 seasons at your current job, 12 straight winning seasons and three Sweet Sixteens under his belt. When you've missed the NCAA Tournament for four straight years and you're starting almost completely over with a new roster, you can bet there's a win-or-else pressure in Seattle. Joining Romar looking over his shoulder this season will be at least a couple more Pac-12 coaches. First, there's Stanford's Johnny Dawkins, who has taken his Cardinal to just one NCAA Tournament appearance in seven years as head coach on The Farm. With his ability to pull in big-time recruits seemingly drying up, he'll need to get a young roster to overachieve this season. Then there's USC's Andy Enfield. He admittedly took over a USC program in rough shape, made an immediate splash in the media and on the recruiting trail, then proceeded to go 23-41 overall and 5-31 in conference play in his first two seasons (while underwhelming with his team's preparedness and in-game strategies). He continues to land quality recruits in Los Angeles, but unless he turns that into success on the court – and quick – he could be headed to an early exit.
Things We Know We Don't Know
Anybody on the Washington Roster – Okay, this may be overstating it a bit. But just a bit. Certainly, we've got three years of Andrew Andrews under our belt and we're always looking forward to seeing what senior point guards can pull out of their hats in their final years. Also, Donaven Dorsey made a positive impression in his freshman campaign and Dan Kingma at least had a memorable performance in the Pac-12 Tournament. Aside from that, everybody else on this roster is brand new. There are seven freshmen and a junior college transfer. Sure, there's a lot of talent here, including four guys who were considered four-star recruits, but a nearly complete roster remake, while probably a much-needed thing in Seattle, is bound to be loaded with question marks.
Rocky Mountain Lead Guards – The two newest Pac-12 schools (Utah and Colorado are each entering their fifth basketball seasons in the conference) both enter this year with backcourt question marks. For the Utes, do-everything point guard Delon Wright has graduated to the NBA — a huge loss of a player who led the team in points, steals, assists, offensive efficiency, and usage last year. Everything on both ends of the court was heavily reliant on Wright's versatile game. Put it this way: The last time the Utes played a season without him in the lineup, they won five conference games. Utah still has one more year of veteran guard Brandon Taylor, and sophomore Isaiah Wright and junior college transfer Lorenzo Bonam are among the players looking to ease the pain; but we'll find out very early in the season just how important the departed Wright was to the Utes' success.
Elsewhere in the Rockies, this will be Colorado's first Pac-12 season without Askia Booker on its roster. In Booker's four seasons with the Buffaloes, he was among the most controversial figures in the conference. He was never afraid to launch a shot from seemingly anywhere on the court, often with complete disregard for the locations of the other nine guys on the floor. He made tough shots; he missed even tougher ones; but, all the while, he had a major impact. Maybe the only thing predictable about Booker straight to the end was his unpredictability. Now he's gone and anyone that tells you they know what to expect out of the Buffs' backcourt this season is either Tad Boyle or lying to you. Xavier Talton is the returning starter at the point guard position, but he was one of the least-effective offensive players in major college basketball last season. Sophomore Dominique Collier could be in line to jump up the depth chart and into the starting lineup, and junior wing Tre'Shaun Fletcher and Providence transfer Josh Fortune will also be in the mix. The Buffaloes are talented up front, even with Xavier Johnson's season in doubt following an offseason Achilles' injury, but in order for them to be anything more than a back-third team in this league, Boyle needs to find reliable production from his guards.
Things We Don't Know We Don't Know
At the risk of getting too Rumsfeldian, there's this whole other category of things that will reveal themselves to us as the season wears on. As we've been recently reminded — whether watching the Toronto Blue Jays have serious trouble with the catcher to pitcher exchange, or watching the Michigan Wolverines have a punting meltdown at the worst possible time — sports has a seemingly unending ability to surprise us with something new. Between here and the finish line of this new college basketball season, you better believe there are going to be all manner of surprises. It could be moments on the field of play like those mentioned above. It could be a previous afterthought turn into an all-conference player, like Josh Hawkinson did at Washington State last season. Or it could be something else entirely; something off the radar. Surprises loom. Get ready.

On June 8, 2021, after the recent budget amendment signed by President Paul Biya, increasing passport application fees from XAF75,000 to XAF110,000, Dominique Baya (secretary-general of the General Delegation for National Security-GDNS) held a press conference to reveal the innovations in the issuance of that travel document.
According to the secretary-general, measures have been taken to modernize and secure the new passports as well as the whole issuance chain. For instance, the passport can be requested online, application fees paid via mobile money or credit card, and an appointment set online.
When the date of the appointment is due, the requester just has to visit a center chosen during the online application process with the master copies of the requested documentation. Once the documentation is validated, the requester's picture, fingerprint, and signature will be collected and the passport printed and handed to the latter.
"The approved applications will be processed and the passport printed within 48 hours after the appointment. If the application is rejected, a mail and an SMS will be sent to the number and mail submitted by the requester during the application. The mail and SMS will state the motive for rejection and the next steps to be taken by the said requester," the general secretary said.
The end of "express" passports
The new passport has been presented as more secure because of the online pre-enrolment procedure combined with online payment systems, laser engraved images, the new design, and the various security elements embedded in compliance with international standards. Also, the new requesting platform can be connected to other public IT platforms.
According to Dominique Baya, the aim of this change is to end the waiting lines usually observed in front of the various offices under the directorate general of emigration and immigration. It is also aimed at ending the requirement for all the requesters to travel to Yaoundé to accelerate their passport issuance process.
"There no more be a rush towards the so-called express passports, which have never existed by the way," he said. The new issuance process will be operation on July 1, 2021. That same day, the new application fee will become effective.
Let's note that the current application fees in Cameroon are thrice higher than the fees applied in countries like Togo and Côte d'Ivoire (between CFAF30 to 40 thousand).

Oral argument from the court.
Dude, Where's My Integrity?
Medical marijuana tests the Supreme Court's true love of federalism.
By Dahlia Lithwick
Posted Monday, Nov. 29, 2004, at 3:49 PM PT
Lucky for Raich, she resides in California—which passed the Compassionate Use Act of 1996. Unlucky for Raich, and for her co-plaintiff, Diane Monson, California is still part of the United States, in which the federal drug laws draw no distinctions between the deathly ill and the merrily stoned. Ashcroft v. Raich pits the federal Controlled Substances Act—which makes marijuana a Schedule I drug with no legitimate medical use—against California's legalization of that drug for sick people under a doctor's care. In the simplest sense this is a states' rights, or federalism, case. But it's also a case full of twists and inversions, endless electric guitar solos, tie-dyed mayhem, and strange bedfellows. And that's not just among the folks camped out on the courthouse steps for oral argument this morning—many of whom were probably later rounded up and forced to pee in small cups outside John Ashcroft's office.
Acting Solicitor General Paul Clement represents Ashcroft in this case, and he is arguing that states' rights are a good thing, unless the state in question is one of the 10, 11, or 12 states (depending on how you count them) that have legalized medicinal marijuana. His opening comments are quickly interrupted by Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, asking whether the Supreme Court's recent federalism rulings in United States v. Lopez (1995) and United States v. Morrison (2000) cast doubt on his case.
Before Lopez and Morrison, the Supreme Court mostly kicked back and enjoyed a lengthy period of deference to Congress' view of the limits on its so-called "commerce clause" powers. Article 1, Section 8 of the U.S. Constitution empowers Congress to "regulate Commerce with foreign nations, and among the several states," and—starting in the late 1930s and into the '40s—interstate commerce began to include just about anything Congress wished to regulate, like employment and wages, right on up to just about any conduct save for interstate burping. The Rehnquist court put a stop to all that madness with Lopez and Morrison—striking down, respectively, a federal gun law and a law creating a federal cause of action for female victims of violence—as straying far beyond the commerce-clause power. Suddenly, "interstate" and "commerce" were words with meaning again.
Clement tells O'Connor that those federalism cases can be distinguished from the marijuana one, but O'Connor shoots back with a question about Wickard v. Filburn, the classic commerce-clause case from 1942. Wickard involved a farmer who owned a family dairy farm and exceeded the annual wheat quota then allowed by the federal government. The farmer argued that his wheat was for his own consumption and that Congress had exceeded its commerce-clause powers in setting quotas. The Supreme Court disagreed. O'Connor points out that the wheat grown in Wickard entered a national market. Whereas pot grown on a windowsill by dying women or their caregivers does not. Or, to quote Ruth Bader Ginsburg: "Nobody's buying anything. Nobody's selling anything."
Clement responds that it's impossible to know which pot is grown by individuals and which comes from illegal markets. O'Connor, still bogarting the oral argument, insists that the state of California can be trusted to enforce its own drug laws and crack down on illegal markets. Clement retorts, "There's no reason to believe California will have some unnatural ability to keep only one part of a fungible market separate."
Justice Antonin Scalia is in something of a tight spot today. One the one hand, he voted with the states'-rights majorities in Lopez and Morrison. On the other hand, he isn't going to go off tripping lightly to the land of Cheech and Chong with those loonies on the 9th Circuit (who ruled the federal drug laws unconstitutional as applied to Raich and Monson). So he toys with Clement, suggesting that the rationale in Wickard doesn't really apply here. In Wickard, Congress wanted to regulate all interstate commerce in wheat. In this case, Congress wants to stop all interstate drug trafficking. Justice John Paul Stevens is in a mirror image of that same tight spot. He frickin' hates Lopez and Morrison. But his sweet old heart bleeds for the folks who would die if their pot was taken away.
Justice Anthony Kennedy asks if this case is easier or harder than Wickard, given that the buying and selling of wheat is lawful, whereas the mere possession of pot is not. Clement replies that this is an easier case. If Congress can prohibit something from interstate commerce altogether, it should be able to "excise out any small island of unlawful possession that would compromise its goals."
Ginsburg asks whether there would be any lawful recourse if these two particular plaintiffs were prosecuted under the federal drug laws. Clement quite cheerfully points out that in the 2001 medicinal marijuana case, United States v. Oakland Cannabis Buyers' Cooperative, the court held 8-0 that there was no implied medical necessity exception to the federal drug statutes. So no, these women would pretty much have to suffer, die, or move to Amsterdam.
Kennedy asks, in what sounds suspiciously like his pre-Christmas shopping voice: "If we rule for the respondents in this case, do you think the street price of marijuana would go up or down?" And Stevens asks whether the court is bound by Congress' findings that there is no medical use for marijuana or could follow some other entity's findings (say, the Institute of Medicine's 1999 study finding that marijuana holds promise for alleviating nausea and vomiting in people undergoing chemotherapy and shows potential for improving severe weight loss caused by AIDS). Clement replies that it's as easy as petitioning Congress to reclassify marijuana as a non-dangerous drug. He adds, amazingly, that Congress considers marijuana nonmedicinal "because smoking is harmful."
Professor Randy Barnett represents Raich and Monson. But this doesn't keep the liberal justices from beating up on him for curtailing congressional power while the conservatives beat up on his doper clients. Barnett warns that if the court finds for Ashcroft, this case will come to "replace Wickard as the most far-reaching case of interstate regulation." He adds that just because some product may have an interstate market (and what really doesn't, aside from phlegm, perhaps?) can't mean its possession implicates interstate commerce. Scalia notes that mere possession of ivory tusks or eagle feathers is illegal—regardless of what market they come from.
Barnett says there is no market if the marijuana is entirely isolated and policed by the state of California. "Isolated?" cries Scalia. "I understand some communes grow marijuana for medical usage!" Everything inside him recoils in horror. Federalism be damned.
Justice Stephen Breyer tries to generate a list of really dangerous items that can be grown privately, in which the feds may still maintain a regulatory interest. He comes up with "heroin, cocaine," and "tomatoes with genomes in them"—the ones who may someday have dangerous "tomato children." And Justice David Souter—who clearly has never been high on anything stronger than yogurt—says it's clear that most Californians will go out and buy their medical marijuana "on the street." That would mean tens of thousands of Californians on chemotherapy and many more recreational users pretending to be. He adds, "every kid buying a bag or whatever you'd call a small quantity ... they're not getting prosecuted."
Scalia insists this case can't be distinguished from Wickard. Barnett says this would be like Wickard if the farmer was eating all the wheat he grew, as opposed to feeding it to his livestock and replanting it—activities that implicate interstate commerce. Breyer disagrees: Wickard said a farmer's consumption of homegrown wheat, "though not commerce, may still be regulated so long as there's an interstate effect on commerce. I take it Justice Scalia is exactly right." Never comforting words for an oral advocate.
Breyer concludes with the suggestion that the plaintiffs in this case should have gone to the FDA and said "take marijuana off the list ... that would be the obvious way to get what they want." He adds, "Medicine by regulation is better than medicine by referendum." Catchy. Barnett urges him to read the amicus briefs describing government obstruction of even basic cannabis research.
Clement concludes his rebuttal with his best argument: California law undermines enforcement of the entire federal drug regime. There is no way to distinguish between those in genuine medical need and those who are exploiting the system. He cites a case mentioned in the briefs in which a man was busted with pot in his backpack, his pocket, his other pocket, and another pocket. And some scales. The appellate court nevertheless found that he might have legitimately been buying the pot for medicinal reasons; he was just carrying the scales to "keep from being ripped off."
In a tribute to the chief justice, who missed oral argument again today, Angel Raich sought to woo him with empathy—saying she hoped his chemotherapy treatments "would soften his heart about the issue."
"I think he would find that cannabis would help him a lot," said Raich. Can't you just imagine it: William H. Rehnquist spooning Cheez Whiz right out of the jar and sewing gold armbands onto all his bathrobes?
Are these women just a little weird? Yes. But should the court's staunchest conservatives get away with being for states' rights only when the state in question isn't California? No. Will they? Oh, you can bet your bong on it.

The dark, sordid truth : Comments
By Tom Clifford, published 27/6/2007Vietnam was the 'Bright, Shining Lie'; Iraq is the 'Dark, Sordid Truth'. The war is lost and the signposts to retreat are clearly visible.
A sobering reminder that it is not the body count which measures the faulre of the invasion - it is the refugee count.

"The war is lost," Tom Clifford says, but is it accurate to call this a war?
Lakoff has been saying we need to see Iraq as an "occupation" -- partly because it plays better as a political frame; partly because the military's role is principally aimed at logistics (especially oil), rather than combat. We could add a third reason: "occupation" better explains how so many the Muslim world see links to the Israel/Palestine conflict. It reveals that Crusader stereotype of the Christian West more clearly. I don't mean to split hairs here. It is a murderously violent situation involving massive military deployments. But I fear that we dignify the wrong people's mythologies when we call it a war. Posted by Tom Clark, Wednesday, 27 June 2007 9:39:08 AM

The Americans have no intention of leaving. Even if they withdraw to their three giant airbases and abandon Baghdad to chaos they will stay because they need to control oil flows in the Middle East. To quote from http://www.americanprogressaction.org/progressreport/2007/06/50_years_of_war.html:
" PERMANENT BASES OUT IN THE OPEN: The Iraq Study Group advised, "The President should state that the United States does not seek permanent military bases in Iraq." Yet for the first time, the Bush administration "is beginning publicly to discuss basing American troops in Iraq for years, even decades to come," the New York Times reported yesterday, noting that the subject is "so fraught with political landmines that officials are tiptoeing around the inevitable questions about what the United States' long-term mission would be there." In public, administration officials are mostly silent. "But when speaking on a not-for-attribution basis, they describe a fairly detailed concept. It calls for maintaining three or four major bases in the country, all well outside of the crowded urban areas where casualties have soared." " Most of the billions invested into infrastructure spending in Iraq has gone into these military bases. They have never had any intention of leaving.

Only for Tony Blair and John Howard joining George W Bush in the attack on Iraq, very likely the illegal action would
never have eventuated. With both still as cocky and cocksure as ever, especially Johnny Howard, one wonders how future historians will treat them Posted by bushbred, Wednesday, 27 June 2007 11:27:51 AM

so, what else is new?
the most useful question to ask, in my view, is: how was the decision to enter iraq taken, and if not satisfied with the decision process, what must be done to prevent such flawed decisions in future? there seems to me to be a submissive acceptance that presidents/prime ministers/fuehers will go on plunging the world in misery, while we watch on with shaking heads. can't we do better?

BB Part One
Michael in Adelaide So sad to read your Post, Michael. But also congrats to you for having the guts but commonsense to have analysed what is really happening in Iraq and the whole Middle East. Under the lap, but rampant neo-colonialism. And certainly it was all there to see or note with Paul Bremer talking about Iraq becoming an important part of a globalised economy patterned on the American Way plus. And what else could you expect with oil-man Dick Cheney really pulling the political strings. Truly the Americans haven't changed, especially the Texans, where even a preacher would place a loaded six-gun under the pulpit before he softly caressed the Bible later as he readied for his Sermon. So sad also to suspect that Tony Blair and John Howard, knew what the dirty plan was about for a start, especially with neo-Con Paul Wolfowitz having helped design the US Project for the 21st Century, which strongly supported regime change for Iraq, Iran, and all those other evil global peoples. Also sad to say, little Israel is part of the project too, obviously out to benefit, as is shown every time she makes a move America does not attempt to stop her, White House Secretary Condy Rice, stepping in and taking over the role of the UN President, the UN leaders now usually passed by the White House, making sure they have insignificant characters enough to stay out of sight and never to protest.

Flying Without a Net
© 2003 Elena Fawkner
One of the most exciting and daunting things about
starting your own home-based business as your sole
means of income is the reality that no one is responsible
for your success or failure but you. The lure of the
home-based business is undeniable. But before joining
the revolution, take the time to think about the real
implications of self-responsibility. In the past, you've
always had the security of knowing that your employer
was taking care of the background details ... you know,
those little things like retirement plans, health insurance
and capital investment. And making enough money to
cover your salary and vacation time. Now it's all down
to you.
So, let's take a look at four of the biggies: health and
safety, insurance, tax issues and zoning.
No matter how much you've invested in setting up your
business, nothing is more valuable to your business or
to you as your good health and safety.
Apart from obvious measures such as ensuring you have
adequate health insurance, keep the following basics in
=> You Are Not A Machine
Take regular breaks. These are important for your
physical and mental health, not to mention your
productivity. Breaks can be particularly important if your
livelihood requires you to spend hours on end in front of
a computer. The last thing you or your business needs
is for you to develop carpal tunnel syndrome!
Avoid the temptation to do household chores or errands on
your break time. That's not a break. Do something that
breaks the mental spell, something that gets you out of
your work environment for fifteen minutes every couple of
hours. Go wander around outside and take some deep
breaths to cleanse your lungs. Lift weights. Call a friend.
Go sit in the backyard with a cup of cocoa and enjoy the
sunshine. It doesn't matter what you do, but make yourself
do it. Set an alarm to remind yourself if you must.
=> Use the Correct Equipment the Right Way
Make sure you use the correct equipment for the task at
hand. If your work requires long hours in front of a computer,
make sure that your desk and chair are properly aligned and
your work area is well lit. Ensure you maintain good posture.
=> Nap when sleepy
Many home-based business owners work odd hours. That,
after all, is one of the advantages! But if you start working
very early or work very late into the night, your sleep patterns
need to adjust accordingly. Therefore, if you find yourself
feeling sleepy mid-afternoon, take an hour's nap. Any longer
though and you'll risk waking sluggish and tired. Set an alarm
to wake you if think you'll go longer than an hour or 45 minutes.
Don't tell yourself you can't afford the time to take a nap. A
nap will do wonders for your productivity and you will be
refreshed and ready to get back to work. You'll find you'll
accomplish much more by the end of the day than you would
have if you forced yourself to keep ploughing ahead even
though you were so sleepy you couldn't think straight.
=> Home Alone Security
Security is an issue for any home-based worker. Apart from
personal security which is always an issue for everyone
wherever they work, the home-based office with its usual
array of expensive computer and other office equipment, and
heaven knows whatever else electronic gadgetry is a prime
target for thieves. So take these basic precautions:
* Don't expose your expensive office equipment to the
view of casual passersby. Obscure the view with foliage
(but not so much that you provide a place for would-be
intruders to hide) and draw the blinds when you're away
from home.
* Keep your doors deadbolted when you're home as well
as when you're away.
* Think twice about inviting new clients to your home office.
Try and meet at the client's office wherever possible or, if
not, at a neutral location.
* Ensure your property is well lit at night to deter intruders.
* Don't advertise the fact that you work from home.
* Consider using a post office box for your office address.
This is particularly useful if you run an online business and
are concerned about revealing your residential address to
all and sundry.
* Get an alarm system installed and display the alarm
company's sign prominently on your property.
* A dog can be a great security device, not to mention
company for the solo worker!
Don't rely on your homeowner's insurance to cover your
business. Most policies limit loss of business property
to $2,500 and don't cover losses away from the home.
And you can just forget about claiming on your homeowner's
policy for injury sustained by a client visiting your home
So ensure you obtain business insurance separate from
your homeowner's policy or, if your insurance company
offers it, an endorsement to your existing policies. This
type of extension, where available, can be as low as an
additional $200 or so annually.
The kinds of risks to consider, depending of course on
the nature of your business, include:
=> Health and Disability
Check with any trade or professional associations of
which you are a member for health insurance packages.
Many such associations will have negotiated insurance
packages for their members and this can be a good way
of getting good cover for a cost-effective price.
Other types of insurance to consider are disability
insurance in case you can't work due to illness or
disability and workers' compensation (remember, you may
be an employee of your business). Depending on your
personal situation, you may also want to consider key
man insurance which protects your business in the event
of your death. The business becomes the beneficiary
under this type of policy and this cover is intended to enable
the business to replace you.
=> Property
This covers your physical assets - furniture and
equipment, inventory and supplies including, where
required, cover for equipment taken away from the
premises such as laptop computers.
=> Liability
There are three main types of liability insurance.
Depending on your business you may need only
one or two or all three. The three types are (a) general
liability which covers you for accidental injuries sustained
by business visitors; (b) professional liability if you are a
member of a professional occupation such as a lawyer
or an accountant; and (c) product liability which protects
you against damage caused to a third party as a result
of a defective product.
=> Business Interruption
This type of insurance covers your lost profits as a
result of some insured event which makes it impossible for
you to carry on your business such as a fire or flood.
One expenditure you should definitely not try and avoid
is an accountant to prepare your taxes. There are many
home office tax deductions available but they are scrutinized
carefully by the IRS so make sure you get professional
help in this area.
The types of deductions available to the home business
owner include a proportion of your housing costs and
expenses if you use a part of your home exclusively for
your business; use of your car for business purposes;
health insurance; postage; trade magazines and other
business-related publications; and capital equipment.
The best way to save money on accountant's fees is to
keep accurate, organized and complete records. Keep
your receipts organized so that when tax time comes you
can hand everything over to your accountant in a nice
neat package.
In addition, do not hestitate to contact your accountant
for advice if and when you intend to take on employees.
A whole slew of responsibilities goes along with
employing others in your business including withholding
tax and social security benefits and workers' compensation
to name just a couple.
Finally, a word about zoning. Zoning laws can be
inconsistent so just because your friend Dave can run
a business out of his garage in town X doesn't mean you
can do the same thing here in town Y. Some municipalities
will give you a hard time if you're receiving clients on the
premises but will turn a blind eye if you're not. Others
focus on the detriment your business causes to the
amenity of your neighbors. If your neighbors find they
can't park their car in their own street because of the
flood of traffic to your door, expect problems. Also, don't
expect to be able to erect a sign in front of your house
or, possibly, anywhere visible from the street, advertising
your business. Still other municipalities will restrict
the numbers of employees that can be employed in the
home business. In these municipalities you often won't
have a problem if you're a solo worker but once you start
hiring employees to work on the premises you may have
So, before you start your business and invest a lot of
capital in getting set up, check with your local authorities
what, if any, zoning restrictions you need to be aware of.
These are just a few of the major headache areas when
you cut the ties and set out on your own. By taking the
time to get these things in order before you get underway,
you'll create a safety net for yourself and your business so
that when things go wrong, as they inevitably will, your
dream of a home-based business of your own will continue
to be a happy reality and not a nightmare.

Chapel Hill's "threatening" statue
Can you be threatened by a statue? Apparently, some of the wine-and-cheese limo-liberals in Chapel Hill believe so:
The leaders of UNC-Chapel Hill's $4.25 billion fundraising campaign have weighed in on the issue of what to do with Silent Sam, and they support the idea of relocating the Confederate monument.
In a letter Tuesday to the UNC Board of Trustees, eight co-chairs of the Campaign for Carolina said they support UNC Chancellor Carol Folt's statement last week that the toppled statue should be moved to a new, more appropriate location. The letter was signed by alumni campaign leaders Barbara Hyde, Roger Perry, John Townsend, John Ellison, Michael Kennedy, Jennifer Evans, Vicki Craver and Austin Stephens. All are alumni and most have either served as members of the UNC trustee board or Board of Visitors.
In their letter, the co-chairs called the situation surrounding the debate over Silent Sam an "increasingly dangerous situation impacting our students and faculty and threatening to tarnish the reputation of our nation's first public university, as well as the State of North Carolina."[…]
Really? How about the fake classes and the athletic cheating scandals? Or the riots when conservative speakers come to town? Does a statue that makes snowflakes pee their bedsheets every night really trump those things?
I'll tell you what's really threatening. Masked leftist radicals running around vandalizing stuff they don't like and threatening people they don't like. A town controlled by radical snowflakes sympathetic to said masked hoodlums who refuse to let the police keep law and order. Gene Nichol and Barry Nakell at the law school. Oh, and THIS esteemed member of the UNC faculty.
College towns and college campuses are typically a little off-beat and, um, different. Chapel Hill and UNC-Chapel Hill are in a special category of kookiness all by their lonesomes.
[…] Campaign leaders did not cite any data that the divisive Silent Sam issue was causing a drop in donations. The campaign has raised roughly half its target of raising $4.25 million by the end of 2022.
"We recognize that those of us who love our University and believe in its mission have held different views on the continued presence of this monument in McCorkle Place," the letter said. "And many are troubled by the method of its removal. But now that Silent Sam is down, we are united in agreeing that it should not return to its former location. We further believe that the Confederate Monument, located in a proper context on our campus, can become a catalyst for education about America's darker hours and for civil discourse about our future."[…]
Aah, the typical leftist go-to argument. *It's somebody else's fault — or the fault of some inanimate object — that I came up short.*
If these whiners only knew — most people living outside of Orange County are more embarrassed about Chapel Hill itself than a statue.

The Types of Air Rifles Used in the Olympic Games
With the postponed 2020 Summer Olympics starting on July 23, 2021, the best athletes in the world are finally set to take center stage in Tokyo, Japan. Basketball, baseball, track, and various other sports will be taking place during an exciting twelve days. A sport often not headlined, but equally skill-based is the men's and women's air rifle events. There are three different air guns used. Let's take a lot at them!
Air Rifles
The air rifles used in marksman sports are the first thing we will look at. There are two different events in the Olympics, the 10m air rifle and 50m rifle three positions. The 10m event has participants shoot 60 rounds at a target within a one hour and fifteen-minute period. True to its name, the 50m rifle three positions has shooters firing 40 shots in each position: kneeling, prone, and standing. There is a two-hour and forty-five-minute time limit on this event. A steady hand, good eye, patience, and extreme focus are all necessary to place well in this event.
Air Pistols
Switching things up from two hands and a scope to just one hand and your eyes to aim with, there are three types of air pistol events at the Olympics. The 25m rapid fire pistol event has male-only participants shoot shots off in rapid succession in periods of eight, six, and four seconds. Thirty shots are fired in each of two qualifying rounds. Talk about a quick trigger finger! The ladies have the 25m pistol event which consists of two qualifying rounds of thirty shots each. The last event, the 10m air pistol is the same format as the 10m air rifle event described earlier. No room for error on aiming here!
Air Shotgun
The last type of air weapon we will look at is the air shotgun. There are two Olympic events in this category: skeet and trap. In the skeet event, participants fire at clay targets from eight different spots known as "stations". It's trickier than that though! The clays come in from both the right and the left sides of the shooting range. Twenty-five shots in each of five rounds are fired in this event with the highest scorers moving on to the medal round. Trap is the second event. This event is a team round of one man and one woman and it gets intense. Clays come out in front of the shooter from five different positions. Each participant takes a total of seventy-five shots broken down into three twenty-five-shot rounds.
Along with just about every other area of life, COVID-19 affected even the biggest sporting event in the world. After some major adjustments, 2021 will bring about the Summer Olympics. With over 11,000 expected athletes from 205 countries competing, it should be a great showing of strength, grit, sportsmanship, and years of hard work paying off. Don't forget to check out the air rifles and watch the deadeye shooters go to work!

Growing reach
Bank of China added a growing focus on innovation to its already strong underwriting capabilities in 2019, leveraging on its global network to inaugurate new products and new markets for Chinese issuers.
In its home market, the A1/A/A rated lender in January issued the country's first onshore perpetual bonds, after new regulations allowed the instruments for the first time. The Rmb40bn (US$5.9bn) offering of 4.5% undated Additional Tier 1 securities set a solid benchmark and paved the way for other Chinese banks to strengthen their capital.
In the offshore market, BOC in October printed China's first bond linked to the secured overnight financing rate, the floating rate that is expected to replace Libor after 2021.
The US$350m SOFR green bond, through its Macau branch, set a template for others to follow.
Before BOC's deal, SOFR issuers were mainly supranational issuers like the World Bank and the Asian Development Bank, but it was the first commercial bank to test the waters.
As China's most global bank, BOC also showed off its international credentials in executing multi-tranche and multi-currency deals, such as a US$3.78bn-equivalent four-currency Silk Road bond in April, simultaneously selling bonds in US dollars, euros, Australian dollars and offshore renminbi.
BOC, itself an active green issuer, also helped others issue green bonds during the year, such as Wuhan Metro Group, China General Nuclear Power Corp and State Development & Investment Corp.
BOC again topped the underwriting table for G3 bonds from China with US$11.7bn of volume and a 6.4% market share during IFR's review period.
Leveraging its relationships in a wide range of industries, BOC arranged offshore bonds for Chinese local government financing vehicles, central state-owned enterprises, financial institutions and property developers, which dominated a record year for Asian high yield.
BOC also played a key role in China's a €4bn (US$4.4bn) triple-tranche sovereign deal in November, the nation's first euro trade in 15 years, which drew robust demand and set a sound benchmark for Chinese corporates.
Beyond China, other landmark deals included Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank's US$2.5bn debut, the Philippines' US$1.5bn global bond, and Sri Lanka's two global bond offerings that raised a total US$4.4bn.
In the renminbi market, BOC remained at the forefront of the internationalisation of the currency. It played a major role in China's Rmb2bn Dim Sum bond issue in Macau, and retained its leading position in the Panda market.
Notable deals included Portugal's Rmb2bn Panda, the first from a Eurozone sovereign, the Philippines' second Panda bond, BMW Finance's private placement and United Overseas Bank's Panda debut.

The New Certificate, if any, shall be
returned to the Purchaser as soon as practicable. Any such adjustment for any uncertificated Shares held by the Purchaser shall be made in book-entry form.
Section 3No Conflicts. Each party hereto represents and warrants that neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement by such party, nor the consummation or performance by such party of any of the transactions contemplated hereby, will with or without notice or lapse of time, constitute, create or result in a breach or violation of, default under, loss of benefit or right under or acceleration of performance of any obligation required under any agreement to which it is a party.
Section 4Purchaser Representations. Purchaser represents and warrants, with respect to itself only, as follows: Purchaser hereby acknowledges that an investment in the Shares involves certain significant risks. Purchaser has no need for liquidity in its investment in the Shares for the foreseeable future and is able to bear the risk of that investment for an indefinite period. Purchaser acknowledges and hereby agrees that the Shares will not be transferable under any circumstances unless the Purchaser either registers the Shares in accordance with federal and state securities laws or complies with an exemption under such laws. Purchaser further understands that any certificates, book entries or other form of recordation evidencing the Shares will bear a legend referring to the foregoing transfer restrictions until such time as a restrictive legend is no longer required under applicable federal and state securities laws. The Shares are being purchased solely for Purchaser's own account, for investment purposes only, and are not being purchased with a view to or for the resale, distribution, subdivision or fractionalization thereof, and Purchaser has no present plans to enter into any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement for such resale, distribution, subdivision or fractionalization. Purchaser has been given the opportunity to (i) ask questions of and receive answers from the Seller and the Company concerning the terms and conditions of the Shares, and the business and financial condition of the Company and (ii) obtain any additional information that the Seller possesses or can acquire without unreasonable effort or expense that is necessary to assist Purchaser in evaluating the advisability of the receipt of the Shares and an investment in the Company. Purchaser is not relying on any oral or other representation (other than as expressly set forth in this Agreement) made by any person as to the Seller, the Company or their respective operations, financial condition, plans or prospects. Purchaser is an "accredited investor" as defined in Regulation D promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
Section 5Seller Representations. Seller represents and warrants, with respect to itself only, as follows: the Seller is the owner of the Shares, free and clear of any liens, options, pledges, charges, restrictions or other encumbrances and, upon sale of the Shares in accordance with this Agreement, the Purchaser will acquire good, valid and indefeasible title to the Shares, free and clear of any liens, options, pledges, charges, restrictions, proxies or other similar encumbrances, in each case other than (a) transfer restrictions hereunder and other agreements to which the Shares may be subject which have been notified to the Purchaser in writing (including those set forth in this Agreement, the Subscription Agreement and the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Company), (b) transfer restrictions under federal and state securities laws, and (c) liens, claims or encumbrances imposed due to the actions of the Purchaser. The Seller has full power, capacity and authority to enter into this Agreement and to carry out the transactions contemplated hereby. This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by the Seller and is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Seller, enforceable in accordance with
its terms, except as such terms may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, reorganization and other laws of general application affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally and by the availability of equitable remedies. The Seller is sophisticated in transactions of this type and capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the transactions described herein and has the capacity to protect his own interests.
Section 6Assignment of Rights and Shares. After entry into the Insider Letter Provisions, Purchaser may assign its rights herein, and assign and sell the Shares, but only to affiliates of the Purchaser and in any event only so long as such transferees agree to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and the Insider Letter Provisions as applicable. Other than an assignment by Purchaser to its affiliate in compliance with the terms of this Agreement and the Insider Letter Provisions after entry into the Insider Letter Provisions, no party hereto may assign, sell or transfer the Shares, or assign this Agreement or any of its rights, interests, or obligations hereunder without the prior written approval of the other parties.
Section 7Purchaser's and Company's Obligations.
(a)Purchaser agrees to enter into and be bound by the same voting requirements and restrictions in the Insider Letter on the same terms as may be agreed and entered into by Seller, including with respect to waiver of liquidation distributions and redemption rights, restrictions on transfer, limitations on amendments and obligations on voting and tender of shares of the Company's Insider Securities and other common stock as may be set forth in the Insider Letter (collectively, the "Insider Letter Provisions"), and the Company hereby consents to be bound by the same Insider Letter Provisions with respect to the Purchaser in respect of Insider Securities.
(b)Without limiting the Insider Letter Provisions, the Purchaser agrees to vote the Shares in favor of an initial partnering transaction or business combination that the Company negotiates and submits for approval to the Company's stockholders and shall not seek redemption with respect to its Shares. Additionally, the Purchaser agrees not to redeem or tender any Shares in connection with a redemption or tender offer presented to the Company's stockholders in connection with an initial partnering transaction negotiated by the Company.
(c)The Company consents to the assignment of Shares and other transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Seller shall have no further obligation under the Subscription Agreement as it relates to the Shares transferred pursuant to this Agreement.
(d)If and as requested by Seller, the Purchaser agrees to enter into promissory notes and make loans to the Company for expenses in connection with the IPO and transaction costs in connection with an intended initial business combination and other expenses of the Company ("Founder Loans") on the same terms as may be agreed and entered into by Seller and for up to its pro rata share of such expenses based on the relative percentage of Founder Shares held by the Purchaser, the Seller and Intrepid Financial Partners, L.L.C. (the "Founder Lenders"). The Founder Loans will be on the same terms as may be agreed and entered into by Seller with the Company and will provide that any draws and repayments will be made on a pro rata basis among the Founder Lenders based
on the amount committed or then outstanding, respectively. Further, without duplication of the foregoing of this Section 7(d), upon Seller's request from time to time, the Purchaser will reimburse Seller (on a reasonably prompt basis) for its reasonable and documented expenses related to the formation, maintenance, administration, operation and liquidation of Seller and its management of its interest in the Company (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, costs related to the negotiation and documentation by Seller with its investors into Seller) to the extent incurred by Seller and not reimbursed by the Company, but only up to a percentage of such expenses that is equivalent to Seller's pro rata share based on the relative percentage of Founder Shares held by the Founder Lenders.
(e)Section 4 (Waiver of Liquidation Distributions; Redemption Rights), Section 5 (Restrictions on Transfer), Section 6.5 (Waivers and Consents), Section 6.7 (Benefit), Sections 6.9 through 6.13 (Severability; No Waiver of Rights, Powers and Remedies; Survival of Representations and Warranties; No Broker or Finder) and Section 6.15 (Construction) of the Subscription Agreement shall be binding on Purchaser with respect to itself and its Shares as if a "Subscriber" thereunder and are deemed incorporated by reference into this Agreement mutatis mutandis.
Section 8Notices. All notices, statements or other documents which are required or contemplated by this Agreement shall be in writing and delivered: (i) personally or sent by first class registered or certified mail, overnight courier service or facsimile or electronic transmission to the address designated in writing; (ii) by facsimile to the number most recently provided to such party or such other address or fax number as may be designated in writing by such party; and (iii) by electronic mail, to the electronic mail address most recently provided to such party or such other electronic mail address as may be designated in writing by such party. Any notice or other communication so transmitted shall be deemed to have been given on the day of delivery, if delivered personally, on the business day following receipt of written confirmation, if sent by facsimile or electronic transmission, one (1) business day after delivery to an overnight courier service or five (5) days after mailing if sent by mail.
Section 9Indemnification. Each party hereto shall indemnify the other against any loss, cost or damages (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) incurred as a result of such party's breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement in this Agreement.
Section 10Miscellaneous. This Agreement, together with the certificates, documents, instruments and writings that are delivered pursuant hereto, and the terms, restrictions, obligations and rights set forth in the Insider Letter Provisions, any Change in Investment documentation and any Founder Loan documentation in respect of the Shares, constitute the entire agreement and understanding of the parties hereto in respect of its subject matter. This Agreement and the rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of Delaware applicable to contracts wholly performed within the borders of such state, without giving effect to the conflict of law principles thereof. This Agreement may be signed in two or more counterparts (including by facsimile or other electronic means), each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument. Counterparts may be delivered via facsimile, electronic mail (including any electronic signature covered by the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000, Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, the Electronic Signatures and Records Act or other applicable law, e.g., www.docusign.com) or
other transmission method and any counterpart so delivered shall be deemed to have been duly and validly delivered and be valid and effective for all purposes. This Agreement may not be amended, modified or waived as to any particular provision, except by a written instrument executed by all parties hereto. Seller agrees that it will not amend the Insider Letter Provisions in a manner that would be disproportionate and adverse to the Purchaser pursuant to its terms than as compared to Seller without the prior written consent of the Purchaser. The headings and captions of the various sections of this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall in no way modify or affect the meaning or construction of any of the terms or provisions hereof. This Agreement is the joint product of the parties hereto and each provision hereof has been subject to the mutual consultation, negotiation and agreement of such parties and shall not be construed for or against any party hereto. Each party agrees to execute such further instruments and to take such further action as may reasonably be necessary to carry out the intent of this Agreement.

Forward3D doubles down on APAC, opening its first Hong Kong office
Forward3D has opened its first Hong Kong office, moving former director of international performance Richard Brosgill to lead the expansion into Asia Pacific.
Forward3D opens in Hong Kong
The ambition is for the Hong Kong office to become the hub for the independent agency's Asia Pacific business, which already includes offices in Shanghai, Seoul, Tokyo and Singapore. The company said part of the decision to build out a Hong Kong hub was its proximity to many of the regional search and social platforms.
Brosgill has taken on the title of head of Asia Pacific, building out a team to service local and regional business. Forward3D's APAC team in London will also still come under Brosgill's management.
"We are looking to service global clients and win both local and regional business. We are currently managing local stakeholders in Hong Kong as part of our global activity so we are excited to be building those relationships locally, at the same time we have already started to win Hong Kong specific business since moving to the market.
"In terms of our on-going focus, with 5 offices in the region we are striving to develop our proposition across Asia. Building Hong Kong as a hub will mean our regional teams have more support to build on the success we've had to date," he said.
Brosgill also said a key aim for the business is helping brands in Hong Kong shift from traditional media spend to digital. The shift to digital spend is varied across the Asia Pacific region, according to the latest IAB Ad Spend report for the region, although developed markets such as Hong Kong we pushing over the 20% digital investment mark.
Gary Reid, managing director EMEA and APAC at Forward3D, added: "The internet has enabled access to global markets and inspired huge growth as companies have expanded to be truly global. Yet there are regional nuances to international campaigns that require a local touch. Our new Hong Kong office, with Richard at the helm, is a fine addition to our existing APAC footprint in Shanghai, Seoul, Singapore and Tokyo, as we work with international brands to run effective search and display campaigns in any market, at any time."

Michael Aukofer
Michael Aukofer (b. 1974, Wichita, Ks.) is an American percussionist and composer.
Aukofer's music career began in high school teaching local drummers, percussion ensembles and performing on the drumset in nightclubs. From 1992-1997 Michael attended Friends University in Wichita, KS. and graduated with a Bachelors Degree in Music Education (choral and instrumental).
In succession with his undergraduate work, Michael composed several works for percussion as well as a ballet with choreographer Melonie Buchanan. Prior to Michael's graduation in 1997, he was awarded the annual Kansas Cultural Trust, which facilitated study with composer William Kraft in Los Angeles, Ca.
Already involved in a few studio recording projects, in 1997 Michael traveled to Nashville to play drums/percussion on a CD by the group Alathea. Their project encountered some difficulty getting off the ground, and Michael ended up producing the CD as well as playing the drums on it. "One thing led to another and Nashville ended up being called "home" for the next year and a half". While in Nashville, Michael continued to produce, perform, and compose ... including projects by Ryan Long (3), Eric Hauck (3), Rufus Tree (2), Tom Frye (2), as well as two more LP's with Althea. One other set of recording projects Michael had the privilege to be a part of were instrumental recordings with Phil Keaggy.
By the spring of 1998, Michael and Eric Hauck joined Mitch McVicker, and after adopting the name Kid Brothers, started some light touring in support of Mitch's first album. Other projects Michael initiated include a one-week intensive percussion workshop held at Friends University titled "Rhythm on the Plains". Michael founded, taught and composed for this camp high school aged camp from 1996-2007.
Another one of Michael's projects is the band Appalachian Christmas Quartet. This band of versatile musicians and versatile styles entertained the central Kansas communities for 12 years during the Christmas season from 1997-2008. The Appalachian Christmas Quartet quickly became one of Michael's main creative outlets for performing, arranging and composing.
In 2001 Michael made the decision to go back to school. Dr. J.C. Combs, the head of percussion studies at Wichita State University at that time, offered Michael an opportunity to attend WSU for his Masters Degree in Percussion Performance. Michael completed the master's degree in just three semesters and with the encouragement of Dr. Combs, accepted a Teaching Assistantship at the University of Kentucky in Lexington to work on his Doctorate of Musical Arts.
While at The University of Kentucky, Michael's original compositions began gaining international recognition. Between 2003 and 2009, Michael published over 30 original works. One of Michael's on-going projects is composing 14 musical works, each inspired by one of the 14 Stations of the Cross, a traditional Christian prayer and meditation that focuses on the final day of Jesus' life.
Since June 2004, Michael has been the Director of Music at West Ridge Community Church in Elgin, IL.

10 Housewarming Party Invitations to Make a House Feel Like Home
You've waited your whole life to decorate your home. You thought about painting the walls your favorite shade of gray, picking out a new backsplash for the kitchen, and decorating the new mantel. And now, it's real — keys in your hand, lease or mortgage signed, name printed on the mailbox — you can't wait to break in the place. The next step? Sending out those housewarming party invitations and getting your family, friends, and new neighbors over to scope out the new digs.
There are so many reasons to celebrate a new home. You can hang up photographs of your loved ones to turn that plain, white wall into a montage of all the things that make you happy. You can buy that gorgeous velvet ottoman you've been eyeing. And you can keep your favorite, fancy beer stocked in the fridge because you're an adult like that — and have the freshly signed lease or mortgage to prove it.
To make your house (or apartment, condo, or townhouse — you get our drift) feel like home, fill it with the people you love most. Here are 10 fun housewarming party invitations to help you do just that.
10 Housewarming Party Invitations to Break In the New Digs
Now that you've moved in, you can't wait to have your friends and family check out your new place. To gather your loved ones together under your new roof, send out one of these housewarming invitations to say, "Join us in making our new house feel like home!"
1. You're Invited Invitation
Break out the matching dishware because the first room you're going to break in just happens to be the kitchen. As this housewarming party invite implies, try whipping up a home-cooked meal for you and all your friends. No furniture? No problem. You can get cozy sitting cross legged on the living room rug. After all, there's no need to set down any coasters if you're not seated at the table, right?
2. Moving Directions Invitation
You could not be more excited about your new home, but your friends are going to have to grow used to its location. To help some of your more — how should we put this — directionally challenged friends learn your whereabouts, try sending them this housewarming greeting card.
All your friends and family will likely be coming from different places, try including directions from major highways or landmarks. And if you have a few sneaky tips as to the best street parking in your new 'hood (or a little-known shortcut), include that too.
3. Bottled Happy Hour Invitation
Hey, there's no reason why house parties had to go out with your undergrad days. Now that you own (isn't it fun to say that word?) your own place, you can throw a seriously upgraded house party.
You'll provide craft beer instead of kegs and homemade cocktails instead of spiked punch, and you won't even allow your gaze to drop to the bottom shelf at the liquor store. To say "cheers!" to your new place, send out this house party invitation to your best friends — both old and new.
4. Cheese Board Dream Invitation
From the first time you touched the keys to your new front door, you dreamt about your first open house. Now with your new living room set officially delivered and arranged just so, it's time to open that front door to family, friends, and neighbors.
To give a little nod to the sophisticated, totally elegant style of your new home, you're picturing an upscale party. So waltz right over to the expensive cheese wheels and pop open a bottle of that $20 wine (what a splurge!), because tonight you're toasting to home sweet home.
5. Cute Gingham Invitation
Signing your mortgage or lease was the most #adulting thing you've ever done (you can take that one to the bank, literally). But even still, you're never going to be one to wear a cute little apron, know which fork goes with which dish, or differentiate between various wash cycles.
To poke a little fun at your new domicile, yet unapologetically undomesticated self, send out this gingham housewarming invitation. It's perfect for an outdoor BBQ on your patio that will, without question, be catered from the neighborhood spot up the street.
6. Cheers & Beers Invitation
You know, some groups of friends throw cocktail parties, but you're more sit-in-yoga-pants-and-crack-open-a-cold-one kinda people. And you can think of no better way to break in your new condo than by inviting your BFFs over for a chill evening, six packs in tow.
To ensure your new neighbors don't feel left out of the fun, maybe knock on a few doors down the hall. Introduce yourself to your new neighbors, invite them over, and assure them that your pals are bringing enough beer to go around.
7. Home Sweet Home Invitation
From the moment your real estate agent showed you your now-home, you knew it was meant to be. There was no second guessing, no wondering if someone else would steal it out from under you — no, your new house always felt right.
To celebrate you and your new home ownership, you're not looking for anything over the top, just a quiet night in with your friends and family. Send this simple housewarming party invite out to your inner circle, and personalize it with your new address, your contact information, and any details your guest needs to know.
8. Welcome Palms Invitation
Being a homeowner has always been one of your biggest goals in life. Now that you have officially checked that box, you're ready to tackle your next one: Keeping a houseplant alive.
Using this botanical invitation card to get the word out, throw a plant party in your new home. Serve a continental breakfast or brunch, then stretch your green thumb skills with your friends and family.
Gather around the table, with potting soil, gloves, and water in the center, calling out instructions on how to pot your own plant (or succulent). For your invitation wording, make it clear that you'll provide the soil and water, but it's BYO as far as pots and plants go.
9. Farmhouse Chic Invitation
You may use the oven in your new apartment for storage, but that's not going to stop you from hosting a dinner party in your new home. Call all your favorite restaurants that offer free delivery, then send out these housewarming dinner invitations to all your friends and family. Beautifully designed with chalkboard illustrations, it's the ideal complement to your first not-home-cooked meal.
10. Goodnight Home Invitation
You have a new place to lay your head at night, but you won't sleep soundly until all your friends have seen it. This housewarming invitation has a beautiful, watercolor design that will make all of your friends feel welcome in your new home.
To make this a little bit fun, tell your guests to come over in their PJs for a night of movies and popcorn (on your new sofa, of course). Or if you're still waiting for the new furniture to arrive, hint that they should come dressed in yoga pants with a pillow to sit on for added comfort.

Wednesday night's lesson: Staying up late is good, within limits.
For folks who made the sensible decision to turn in at halftime of last night's 2-2 draw between USA and Mexico, memories of the game are entirely pleasant. Those who stayed up longer saw the visitors claw back level and may not be as sanguine - but they did get a glimpse of Julian Green!
Fielding a team composed entirely of MLS talent, the Americans comprehensively dismantled a bewildered Seleccion with an opening 45 minutes of poise and control. The two-goal margin came on tallies from Michael Bradley and Chris Wondolowski, and was no more than the USA deserved for its sparkling display.
Mexico responded to the largely-supportive crowd in Arizona in the second half, tying the game on goals by Rafa Marquez and Alan Pulido. The USA had a go-ahead goal by Eddie Johnson waved off for offside incorrectly. And Julian Green came on in the 59th minute; he contributed smartly to possession but had little chance to make much impact.
Jim Curtin To Be Honored
When the Union come to Toyota Park this weekend, former Fire defender Jim Curtin who is an assistant on the Philadelphia staff, will be ceremoniously retired as Fire player. This is a great move by the club to honor a play who was the heart of the defense for many years. Congrats Jim, you deserve it.
Three Academy Kids Called Up to U-18's
Maurico Pineda, Collin Fernandez and Cameron Lindley continue to impress as they are called up to U.S. U-18's. The team will scrimmage Mexico and Canada in April and then go on to play in the Lisbon International Tournament in Portugal later on in May. This provides the three players a great opportunity to continue to grow and play against high level competition.
Tony Walls Joins Rochester Rhinos
The former Fire defender has joined Rochester of USL-PRO He never made much an impact in Chicago and recently played in Major Indoor Soccer League.
Detroit Wants USL-PRO
The owner of the Michigan Bucks, who play in USL's PDL wants to bring the team to USL-PRO. He wants to have the team start play in 2015 and build a 5,000 seat stadium in downtown Detroit. The team is far away from making the jump up, but if they do, they would be a possible candidate for a partnership for the Fire.
Sporting KC Make A Signing
Kansas City has signed midfielder Victor Munoz. He was drafted in the second round of the MLS draft and cut by D.C. United in camp. He is originally from Spain where he was in the Real Madrid and Celta de Vigo academies. Munoz played first at Iona College then transferred to UCLA. Sporting KC still have two open roster spots.
Rapids Win April Fools
Thoughts on US game? Excited for the academy kids? Happy for Curtin? Would you buy the Rapids jersey?
