A typical investor tends to buy into investments after they have performed well—and then sell after they have performed poorly.
We believe that doing exactly the opposite is the best way to invest. Buying into good investments when they are under-appreciated and undervalued is what makes sense to us.
If you believe the same, and you'd appreciate the value of having a professionally managed portfolio, we should talk.

Cheick Tiote will miss up to three matches for Newcastle United.
The hard-nosed Ivory Coast international has sustained a hamstring injury at training during the week which will keep him out of this weekend's trip to Chelsea as well as the February 12 home meeting with Tottenham.
Tiote could also be unavailable for the February 23 fixture with Aston Villa and his absence will be a major blow to the Magpies who are already without midfielder Yohan Cabaye who left for Paris Saint-Germain last month.

A while back, we asked our Facebook fans, "If I had $1,000 to spend on antiques, I would buy _____." Here are a few of the (more than 100) responses we received:
@Dave Miller: A classic floor model radio. I love old-time radio, and just having a radio that played the old programs would be a treat for me.
@Jason Wicke: I'd get a curio cabinet, unless I ran into some cool War Propaganda items that I couldn't pass up first.
@Sheryl DéLeon SoRelle: A Hoosier cabinet with a working sifter. It would make my baking so much simpler.
@Connie Casey Morsher: Store thread cabinet.
@Susan Poisson: I've had to move in with my mother as a caregiver, so I'd buy things to beautify my new, much smaller "world" – my bedroom (which doubles as a laundry room) in my mother's house. I'd buy a beautiful hand-hooked rug in faded pastels to put by my bed, a heavy old quilt to put on the bed, maybe a cute little side table for a nightstand and a few vintage books and composition dolls to decorate with.
@Lia Cilli: A working antique gramophone with all the 78s of Caruso possible.
@Mary Waldeck: German beer steins, African art, American ephemera, Hollywood memorabilia and whatever else I could find that interests me.
@Mary Lyles: All costume jewelry. Ha.
@Judie Rankin Simmons: I would buy a 1-quart Dazey churn for my collection and a spool cabinet.
@Alison Livingston: An old post office box cabinet with all the keys!

Sponsorship: Part 1 – Why am I Not Sponsored?
As athletes get sponsored, people start asking, "Why am I not sponsored?" Over the next couple of articles, I will explore this question and other aspects of sponsorship. If you are a lower end of the pack, age grouper, I encourage you to stay with me because I think some of this will be eye opening and the final article in this series will have some lessons that you can take away to improve your race performance.

But that's a problem, too. Though the game evolves with the systems it's made for, it's the same game we've been playing for years. I wouldn't blame anyone for skipping over this Pokemon update now because they've done it all before. Hell, it took Nintendo to throw a new gadget into the box for me to get excited for yet another Pokemon game.
HeartGold and SoulSilver build their foundation on a ten year old quest and a four year old DS engine. They look identical to Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum because HeartGold and SoulSilver are using that same tech. GameFreak brought the Gold and Silver maps, locations, and storyline and gave them the Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum shine. The Game Boy Color designs look great in this environment, but let's be fair: Game Freak's Pokemon DS engine is meant to mimic the old-school Game Boy experience. Good as they look (and they do look good), these aren't the most visually impressive experiences on the handheld.
At the very least it's interesting to see how one team can continue to drive excitement in its games without really pushing the envelope. We're still battling Pokemon that don't animate. We're still listening to hearing them make growls and cries that are restricted by 8-bit Game Boy sound technology. And yet, we keep coming back because the gameplay is so timeless. But it's clear that there needs to be a real hook to get people to come back to something they've already played.
In the case of HeartGold and SoulSilver, it's the Pokewalker. GameFreak has introduced a device that gives players more ways to interact with the game without having their Nintendo DS with them at all times. This device is clearly born from concepts like the Pocket Pikachu virtual pet -- you might remember that device interfacing with the Game Boy Color to beam earned steps as currency through the use of the system's infrared port.
The Pokewalker takes the technology introduced in Personal Trainer Walking and throws a black and white LCD screen on it: both the cartridge and the device have infrared ports to beam data back and forth, and the portable device has a digital pedometer inside to track steps you've taken. A good amount of data gets sent to the device: not only does the Pokemon get sent over, but so does the Player Card from the game and the system clock time. Some Pokemon can be caught in the device, which will then get beamed back to your storage box on the cartridge. And when you do bring your Pokemon back from a walk, the DS game will document your Pokemon's travels in a cute journal so you can see how much you've walked and how happy it is.
This Pokewalker device is meant to mimic a new addition to the Pokemon design: your lead Pokemon in your line-up follows along like a little pet instead of being trapped inside a ball waiting for battle. It's something that's evolved out of the classic Pokemon Yellow where Pikachu trailed behind, but now any creature -- from common to rare to legendary to shiny -- walks along you like a loyal companion.

When have you felt rich?
Your answer is likely to be "never" or "not in a long time", but that response might be wrong because of a disconnect between reality and perception that materialises for two reasons:
1. There are people richer than us; and
2. There are things we can't afford.
Let's consider both...
Yes, there will always be people richer than us. But in all likelihood, there are millions of individuals in Malaysia and billions globally with lower incomes and less wealth than you. If they knew what you own — perhaps one or more handphones, computers or vehicles — they would label you "rich". And they would be right.
Also, yes, there will always be things we can't afford. But that's true for everyone.
As an extreme example, check out the daily Bloomberg Billionaires Index at www.bloomberg.com/billionaires/. It is a fascinating, inspiring list of the top 500 US dollar billionaires in the top quartile of our planet's current 2,043 billionaires (according to Forbes at www.forbes.com/sites/kerryadolan/2017/03/20/forbes-2017-billionaires-lis...).
I used the Bloomberg daily list on Nov 7 to snag a snapshot of the five wealthiest people: Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates, Warren Buffett, Amancio Ortega and Mark Zuckerberg. Their total wealth that day came to US$417 billion or more than RM1.7 trillion. But even they, working collectively, can't buy everything. For instance, almost two years ago in early 2016, it was reported that all the real estate on Manhattan Island was valued at more than US$1 trillion. I'm picking such an outlandish hypothetical to underscore a point: No one can afford everything.
Accept that some people will always be richer than we are and that even if we can't afford everything we set eyes on, we might still be rich.
Frankly, most people capable of — and keen on — reading columns such as this one already enjoy economic and educational standings that position them well above the average human being on Earth in terms of income or wealth.
Sadly, there are forces in our world and our collective culture that collude and conspire to embed a deep conviction that we aren't rich... yet.
Numerous fascinating studies have been conducted, asking people a straightforward question: Are you rich? Most people say no, including — get this! — many US dollar multimillionaires. It's intriguing that almost all who say, "No, I'm not rich," later admit that to feel rich they would need to earn or own twice their current sum!
Please test yourself:
If you now earn RM2,000 or RM6,000 or RM18,000 a month, am I correct in assuming you don't — yet — feel rich?
Well, how you would feel at the end of this month if your income magically doubled, respectively, to RM4,000 or RM12,000 or RM36,000?
Elated? Liberated? Rich?
Our joy would be short-lived. We all have an internal economic thermostat, so to speak, that rapidly resets our new equilibrium point so that in three to six months our elevated income becomes our new normal.
When that happens, our latent human sense of unease kicks in. We begin looking around increasingly and unsurprisingly perceive that lots of people make more money than we do. Once again, we'll begin to notice lots of things we still can't afford. We again give in to the lie.
We really shouldn't because we are genuinely rich! (Should you need further convincing, please enter your income and wealth at www.globalrichlist.com; it will shock you to see how many people worldwide are poorer than you and how few are wealthier!) In fact, it may stagger you to realise how well off you are by national and global economic standards.
So how are we to fight against the lies our insatiable appetites and our endless tendencies to compare ourselves to the Joneses tell us?
In his extraordinary book How to be Rich, author Andy Stanley explains: "'Rich' is a moving target. No matter how much money we have or make, we may never consider ourselves rich. The biggest challenge facing rich people is that they've lost their ability to recognise that they're rich."
We should all accept that we're at least moderately rich even if we don't — for argument's sake — have more than US$1 million (RM4.2 million) in investment assets. Most of you reading this will have far less. A few will have much more. But that quantum of wealth must not be used as the cut-off separating the rich and the not-so-well-off. According to the most recent World Wealth Report, in the second quarter of 2017 only 16.5 million of our world's 7.4 billion-plus people (1 out of 448 or 0.22 per cent of those alive today) are that wealthy. Obviously to qualify as "rich", a lower income or net worth benchmark should be used.
So I suggest you acknowledge unashamedly that you are rich by writing every day this week the words "I am rich" at the top of a fresh, crisp page of a journal. This entry must be followed by several reasons you accept your riches gratefully; ways you exercise your status as a rich person by generously giving to charities and causes you care about — intelligently and within the rational bounds of your current capacity to give; and by deciding to be happy and seeing yourself each day as the rich person you truly and genuinely are.

Features | Written by John Townsend 11/05/2015
Christoph Behl | WHAT'S LEFT OF US
Christoph Behl is a German-born writer and director who studied his trade in Argentina and Spain. Primarily a documentary filmmaker, Behl's first feature, What's Left of Us, follows three friends in the wake of a zombie apocalypse.
STARBURST: This is a hugely ambiguous film that can be interpreted in many ways. Would you say this is your version of hell?
Christoph Behl: It is a good question, because I like the fact that people will have a dialogue with the film when they try and interpret it. There are references to Sartre and there are very different ideas of why it is like it is.
Love appears to be one of your central themes, but the characters become almost asexual as the dynamic changes.
We originally filmed some sex scenes but we didn't put them in the film. With them, there the love was much stronger but it wasn't part of the original plan. With the scenes in, it felt like there was too much energy somehow.
Decay is also a strong theme, but there seem to be contrasts in how this is presented.
It's very much there. Perhaps it's the human characters decaying more slowly than the zombies, with the flies and so on. I don't have all the answers I'm afraid .
Talking of flies, there are a lot in the film. How difficult was that for the cast and crew to work with?
It was really hard at first because we use lots of real flies and they were everywhere. It made it uncomfortable for everyone, but they're not dangerous. After a few days, everyone just got used to it.
The film felt like a play in many ways, with just the three main characters and the mainly fixed location.
It wasn't such a dogmatic decision to use one place, but as we rewrote the script it just became that way. For me it was important to reduce many of the elements and work more on the characters when there are less distractions.
The three leads deliver outstanding performances. Was it difficult to cast the roles given the chemistry you needed?
It was difficult, as you need a good cast or you don't have a good film. Without them just doesn't matter. I watched them all in plays to see what they were doing but it took six or seven months to sort out. They were very involved too, as they changed a lot of the script and we decided not to just have shots; we filmed the scenes and let them run, which I guess is documentary in style, but we did it just to see what would happen.
You have a documentary background and this film feels very voyeuristic. I wondered, was this something you've worked on?
The idea was to get the voyeuristic feeling by not making the cast act for the camera and just to watch them. It was important to simply observe them, like the Dardenne brothers, although they are much better at it than me. We also didn't change the lens similar to them. We kept the same optic the whole time to make it feel very close. If you see this film in the cinema you are always so close up with the faces.
The sound in the film is hard to really describe and I wondered if you could talk about that a little.
We had this idea from the beginning where we wondered what we could do differently. Everyone has seen zombie movies, there are so many, so we didn't need the backstory. What we did was put the sound from the outside into the inside of the house so it plays through the speakers on to the characters all of the time. That was the main idea, to make the environment even more unbearable. It was brave to make a film without music but I thought we did a good job.
There are so many zombie films out there and this feels like a direct opposite to World War Z. Were you nervous at all about entering the genre?
No, I liked the idea of going into the genre. I think it's good to work with popular mythology. There are rules that are accepted and it's good to work within them. The interesting thing is to work inside these conventions to tell a normal story. There are a lot of films like this now, such as Jim Jarmusch's vampire film .
What's Left of Us is released on DVD on May 11th, and you can find out review here.

Twitter (NYSE:TWTR) is set to report its fiscal 2014 first-quarter earnings after the market closes on Tuesday. And investors are hoping for a strong quarter to turn around recent price declines in the stock. To be sure, shares of the social media stock have fallen nearly 30% since Twitter's fourth-quarter earnings release in February. This will be Twitter's second earnings announcement as a publicly traded company. However, it might not be as positive as many investors hope, particularly as the social media giant continues to struggle with slowing user growth and increased market volatility.
Stagnant user growth
One indication that Twitter could underperform expectations for its first quarter is the recent decline in its user growth. Unlike rival Facebook (NASDAQ:FB), it seems Twitter is having trouble appealing to the masses. Twitter added just 9 million monthly active users worldwide in its last quarter for a total 241 million. It is worrisome to see growth in Twitter's monthly active users stalling so soon, particularly as Facebook now has global monthly active users to the tune of 1.28 billion.
The number of inactive Twitter accounts is also on the rise. While the company defines monthly active users as users that login at least once a month, more than half of these so-called MAUs never send a single tweet or message. When it reports tomorrow, analysts will want to see proof that Twitter's user base is more engaged than it has been in previous quarters.
Unfortunately, how people use the service isn't something that changes over night and Twitter may need to tweak its platform a bit before we see a meaningful turnaround in how users interact on the social site. Moreover, research company eMarketer expects Twitter's growth woes to continue. By next year, its growth is estimated to fall from 19.4% in 2013 to just 10% in 2015, according to eMarketer.
A moody market for Internet and tech stocks
Despite the recent pullback in shares of Twitter, the stock still trades at a lofty premium at its current price of nearly $40.00 per share. The price-to-sales ratio gives us the best insight into the company's valuation today and with a P/S of 35.24, it is one of the highest in the Internet and services industry. For comparison, Facebook currently boasts a P/S ratio of 16.47.
On top of this, it has been a tough month for technology stocks. Facebook, Microsoft, and Amazon.com all reported better-than-expected earnings last week, yet the market punished them by pushing their respective stocks lower regardless of the results. As Wedbush analyst Shyam Patil points out, "High growth, high beta stocks are not being rewarded for good results right now."
This market trend seems to have spilled over into this week, with shares of Twitter and its Internet peers all trading down today. Therefore, shares of Twitter could continue to fall even if the company is somehow able to surprise investors with a reversal of user growth and engagement when it reports tomorrow. Analysts are looking for Twitter to post a loss of $0.03 per share, on revenue of $241.5 million in the quarter. Investors may want to steer clear of this name for now because of these near-term headwinds.

Evicting a Bad Tenant | A Property Management How-To for Phoenix, AZ
If you're an investment property owner, chances are you've been in the situation where you have to evict a bad tenant. Typical evictions don't come out of nowhere, and the process can be emotional, especially if you've been helping someone. In the last 13 years, I've learned you can best help a tenant in need with tough love. Teaching someone they're responsible for providing for their family is invaluable. As an investment property owner, you're seen as someone with a lot of money. Tenants may see you as a business with deep pockets and not as a human. Regardless of the situation, these are the steps we take to evict a bad tenant.
Property Management Fees for Rental Properties – What to Expect in Phoenix
When you're looking for professional property management in Phoenix, you need to know what you can expect to pay for these services. Phoenix is a hot market for investment properties right now. That means a lot of companies are in the valley, offering services for the professional management of single family homes. Each company sets its own fee structure. Sometimes, it's a percentage of the income collected, and sometimes it's a flat monthly fee. The most important thing to evaluate when you're comparing companies based on price is what you can get for the fees paid to a property management company.
Tenants Not Paying Rent? Phoenix Property Management Advice about What to Do
The most important and most difficult thing you'll do when you have a tenant who isn't paying rent is to take emotions out of the situation. Assuming you did not purchase this property for charitable causes, you aren't in the business of providing free housing.
Why Hire a Professional Property Management Company in Phoenix, AZ?
There are a lot of great reasons for why you should hire a professional Phoenix property management company to manage your investment property. Potential clients often come to us after self-managing their homes with the same problems. The property is under-managed and in disrepair, so it will cost thousands of dollars to bring it back to market. Tenants are often several months behind in rent because they've told the landlord about their family member who died or their car that broke down. Owners feel bad for their tenants, and so those renters end up several months in arrears in a property that needs a lot of work. This is our favorite type of property to manage.
The Lease Comes WITH The Deal?
Let's assume you are a seasoned landlord. All your files are organized storing tenants information, where they work, emergency numbers, lease, and addendums, everything you need to secure your position as a landlord. In the best situations things can go wrong, however with a well organized file you minimize risk.
When a rental property is purchased it includes the existing lease. You may think the property is yours to do with what you want beginning the moment the deed is recorded; not totally. Review the lease in place; you are bound to it until the expiration date. In the event you have a good lease, I would suggest you replace the lease and addendums as soon as time permits. This brings me to my living example.
During the initial walk through I noted the tenant had been there for 3 years and I assumed that was the last time the plant shelves were clean. There was a faint odor of cat urine . . . looked much lived in. Over time we grew accustom to each other, the tenant paid the rent and we took care of maintenance issues we were told about. It wasn't until we were ready to start bringing the rent closer to market when the fur started to fly.
The new lease was sent certified mail in June. Although the tax assessor recognizes the address it seemed the postman couldn't find it and returned the package. Next we remailed it and followed up trying to set up an appointment to go over it and do an annual walk through. Keep in mind your time line. In the event monthly rent is due on the 1st of the month notice must be given prior to the 1st to change any provisions 30 days or more in advance. Then the monsoon season hit. It has been my experience that if your home is 10 years or older, this is about the time you find out if the secondary pan in the attic was installed correctly. There is a drain which runs from the condenser, in this case in the attic, to the ground outside eliminating the moisture in the air. When that drain gets clogged the water backs up and goes into a secondary pan. If the secondary pan is not installed correctly the water begins to pour through the ceiling; as it did in this home. The tenant was uncooperative with the repairman, not wanting anyone in the house with his daughter and refusing to make other arrangements for her. Eventually the repair was taken care of. This is considered an emergency repair which allows the landlord to access the property without 48 hour notice, however, in real life when you have an uncooperative tenant it isn't as easy as walking in. The tenant then accused me of raising the rent (which was still substantially under market) because he called in a repair. That too is against the landlord/tenant act. My time line proved without a shadow of a doubt that wasn't the case. Fortunately, for all of us this tenant is moving within 30 days and the property will be brought back up to standard and leased at market value.
Hindsight is better than 20/20. I now will personally hand a newly aquired tenant my lease and addendums in advance when doing the initial walk though. The tenants will be advised at that time to expect this lease when the existing one expires. This would allow for time to explain the new lease, give the tenant a copy of the landlord tenant act and may help avoid the stressful situation I found myself in.
What's in Your Real Estate Portfolio?
So you are thinking about adding to your real estate investment portfolio and debating what type of property to purchase. Let's take a look at your options.
My first recommendation is typically a single-family home. It has been my experience that life is full of surprises and ever-changing, and I like to have investments I can sell quickly if need be. Historically, there are more buyers for single-family homes than for condos, apartment buildings or duplexes. If you need to sell a property fast, it is my opinion that there are more buyers looking for a single-family residence.
One thing to consider is vacancy. No rent means you will not be able to offset expenses. Prepare for this by making your payment a month in advance or having a savings set up for maintenance. Traditionally, the "American Dream" is homeownership. There seems to be more of a demand for a home without a neighbor connected to the property. A private yard for a garden, pet, pond, private pool or spa is an amenity most renters will pay more for.
In the event you are considering a condominium, keep in mind that community association rules can change. For example, one of my investors recently received a notice from the association board expressing its desire to require all units to be owner-occupied. Rules like this will directly affect the value of the unit to a potential investor.
You should also pay attention to the deferred maintenance of the building and the financial statement of the association. The roof, pool, pavement, paint and other structures and amenities have a certain life expectancy, and this could add up to a large assessment in the future. Another consideration is condo conversions. A community previously operated by a management company with set renter screening standards may be different now that the property consists of numerous owner-occupied and rental units. This could affect your property.
So an apartment building looks inviting? There is hope in always having some income to offset the expenses, and those expenses are multiplied when the roof needs to be resurfaced. Typically, when one unit has a problem with a hot water heater, air conditioner, heating or plumbing, it's just a matter of time before those same problems occur in other unit. And these are not small expenses!
As time goes on and we purchase different types of property, we find what works best for us. I have owned all of the above and look at every investment with as many facts as I can gather. Inspections are important. I always recommend an inspection with an experienced company. Make sure to focus on potential problem areas, such as roofing and plumbing. Although inspection companies typically do not check such items, many will include them if you ask.
Additionally, when considering the purchase of a condo, do not lose sight of the fact that you are part of the association. The association implements assessments to cover big repairs when necessary.

So yeah, I am still stuck on this.
Still stuck on the idea of celebrating women, of cherishing women, of what Mother's Day and birthdays and everyday should be about.
Celebrating life.
For all the holidays in this world and every food having it's own special day on the calendar, such as National Ice Cream Day or National Apple Pie Day, we really do not celebrate as much as we should.
Because we forget.
Because we get busy or flustered or are told we are not worth celebrating. Because we are robbed of joy.
And I wrote on Mother's Day how little women are valued and how it makes it hard to celebrate being a mother or a woman on most days, let alone on the one day set aside for us. Because there are so many who are not celebrated, not valued, not reminded of their worth. So many that have never even been told they are worth something.
It breaks my heart watching and hearing girls grow up like this. It breaks it even more to hear women who have lived decades like this.
I have seen a lot lately Scriptures printed in pretty texts on lovely flowery backgrounds that are meant to encourage women. The "he" in the verse has been changed to "she." At first, I thought this was strange, to change the "he" to "she" because most people realize that the "he" is a general term for man as in mankind, to include man and woman alike. I also debated on whether this was changing the Word of God, which is a dangerous place to tread. But there is nothing deceptive about this change, there is nothing defiling of this change when posted as a reminder to women.
I realized that some women need to see it that way. Need to see the "she" or "woman" instead of "he" or "man" because that is the only way for them to realize the Word is for them too.
That they are also Imago Dei, created in the image of God.
I have to let that sink in every now and then too.
Man was created first, and then the woman. But both are in the image of God, possessing His qualities. It is not a possession of masculine and feminine qualities, it a balance between the two of perfect God qualities.
His Word states He is jealous for us. He wants us for Him, to be loved by Him, not for our love to be swept away by possessions or other people or other images of worship. A woman has this quality when she is jealous for her children and her husband, to be the one they can depend on as mother and wife.
When you cry as a woman because you are so deeply moved by another's sorrow or pain, that is the compassion of God showing through you. Jesus had the power to bring life back to people and He wept over Lazarus' death, wept over the children of Israel whom He longed to gather under his wing like a mother hen gathers her chicks. A God quality that we quantify as feminine.
When we possess a servant's heart or sacrifice ourselves on a daily basis for the needs of others, when we erupt with laughter and joy and delight in our children, when we protect our family and care for the sick, when we lay ourselves low to lift others higher, we are not showing feminine qualities. We are showing God, we are proving we too are Imago Dei.
I am no feminist by any sense of the modern idea of the definition of such, nor do I think women are better than men. But women deserve respect and honor and it is not found in this world. We may have the illusion of it in our great country where women are praised for reaching powerful positions in their career, but there is a falsity there.
There is no real sense of worth when a woman is told she is good for sex and nothing else, traded as cheap property. There is no worth for a woman who is beat daily by her husband and told she has to submit and do as he tells her. There is no worth in selling age inappropriate clothes to girls and telling them to dress older than they are, to shed them of their innocence sooner rather than later. There is no worth in a woman who is abandoned by her husband and family for no fault of her own. There is no worth in our own country where women tear each other down and "jokes" of women being catty or worse are no longer considered insulting but a fact of life.
No worth but in God. No worth until we cherish and hold these women in high esteem. Not until we bend down and lift each other up, encourage and whisper the love of God to them. When we use our God qualities to connect to those women, to remind them they are loved and valued and yes, they too are Imago Dei.
My heart is heavy and I feel words are failing me here. I think of young girls making their way through sex trades, trying to survive just one more day. I think of the girls stolen away in Nigeria and the fear they are breathing and wondering who will save them. I think on the girls living here, most likely within my own county too, being told they are stupid or worse day in and day out and they start to believe it.
I think of my 18 month old daughter and the daughter still forming inside me, of what kind of struggles they will go through. I remember my own issues with self-esteem and discouragement and how I can make a difference for my daughters. How I can whisper prayers over them each day, tell them they are smart, beautiful, funny, wonderful, special, cherished. How maybe one day I can make that difference in another girl's life, or a woman I encounter, just to counter the lies they have been fed all their lives and shout into their hearts that it is not true, they are loved!
We celebrate once a year a specific type of woman. We generally forget about them and all the others the remaining days of the year. The present is given, our duty fulfilled. But what would happen if we really took a moment to make a woman feel worthy of being adored and loved, to really fill her heart up?
Our worth is found in Christ. Let us allow our God qualities that He placed uniquely in us women to overflow and fill up the lives of others, to embrace them with joy and remind them, to whisper into the dark part of their souls:
You too are Imago Dei. That Word of Truth there? That is for you too. That promise of God knowing His plans for you of a hope and a future? He is talking to you. Yes, you. That promise of joy in the morning? It's a promise to you. A God that is jealous for you and wants you to be His, to wrap you in love and peace and blessing?
Yes, for you.
Because you are cherished.
I whisper it to myself because I need to be reminded-because I need to believe it before I tell others. Those promises are for me too. They are for you too, man or woman reading this. My prayer is that these words ring truth to you, to others, that it would be the heart's cry of women as we lift each other up, that we celebrate all human life as a life worth living and celebrating and valuing. There is no human that is better than the other, no one person more deserving than the other. All are created Imago Dei.
Including you.
Let's not forget anymore.

Last week's White House Summit on Working Families served both as a pitch to employers to adopt more family-friendly policies, and as a push for policies that require all employers to evolve for 21st-century realities.
Advocates for safer workplaces are looking to advance reforms at the state and local level. A new manual "Winning Safer Workplaces" is designed to enhance the conversation.
Searching for safer chemicals – but safer for whom? New EPA flame retardants report highlights the dilemma
When a widely used chemical is identified as an environmental health hazard and targeted for phase-out and elimination, among the most challenging questions for those involved with making such a chemical are: What to use instead? and Will the replacement be safe? The US Environmental Protection Agency's report identifying alternatives to the flame retardant hexabromocyclododecane (HBCD) illustrates how difficult those questions can be to answer.
A UCLA chemistry professor's website announces his lab's award of an NIH grant. I wonder if we'll also see an announcement explaining the settlement of the criminal charges against him for the work-related death of Sheri Sangji?
Building safe ways for children to bike and walk to school is more than just a way of encouraging kids to go outside and get active. According to a new study, it's also an investment that reaps millions of dollars in societal gains. In other words, smart walking and biking infrastructures for kids make good economic sense.
One of our public health heroes, Ciro de Quadros, 74, a public health physician from Brazil died last week. We need his attitude, skills, and persistence more than ever today.
The White House is poised to take action on workplace discrimination against gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender workers; Washington farmworkers make history with wage settlement; and OSHA investigates Amazon.com fulfillment centers after two worker deaths.

The Odisha government on Tuesday increased the Value Added Tax (VAT) on petrol and diesel by 3 per cent.
Accordingly, the VAT on petrol and diesel has now increased from 23 per cent to 26 per cent. The state government has contended that there has been a significant loss of tax revenue for the exchequer on account of a steep fall in international oil prices and is losing around Rs. 470 crore annually on account of low oil prices.
State finance minister Pradeep Amat said by increasing 3 per cent VAT on petrol and diesel, the government will generate tax revenue of Rs. 361 crore more annually. However, the Opposition parties have criticized the government's move on tax hike.

AMSTERDAM–Dutch dredging company Royal Boskalis Westminster NV (BOKA.AE) Thursday confirmed its earnings outlook for 2012 at an extraordinary meeting of shareholders called to dicusss its takeover of sea transportation company Dockwise NV (DOCKW.AE).
Boskalis sees a 2012 net profit of 230-245 million euros ($300.5 million to $320.2 million) and capital expenditure of EUR300-EUR325 million.
The company raised its earnings outlook on Nov. 16.
At the meeting, Boskalis shareholders will vote for the proposal to let the company issue ordinary shares up to a maximum of 10% of the number of ordinary shares issued at present and to grant rights to subscribe to ordinary shares.
Boskalis said on Dec. 21 that approximately 83.5% of Dockwise shares are committed to Boskalis's offer. Large shareholders with approximately 50% of the shares have signed irrevocable undertakings.
The offer of EUR18.50 per share values Dockwise at EUR733 million with an enterprise value of approximately EUR1.25 billion.

Instead of getting to know someone people hookup and have great sex and get married based off the sex. When they get old, or the sex gets old they divorce. But sadly they have contracted HIV if they are gay or had litters of children if they are straight and nobody wants a used rental car if they can afford to get a brand new never used one.
I would have to say yes. Way too many people are now not taking their marriage as serious as they should. They now think if there is fine little issue they just leave each other. What happened to the vows or the religions. There is a way to fix all issues I do believe in that.

Here goes part 2 of my Top 30 songs of 2010!
20. Far East Movement - Like A G6 feat The Cataracs & Dev
This is the most happening party track of the year. I still don't get the the song but oh yeah, I'm flying like a G6. *No, I don't get that too.*
More from FM: Rocketeer feat Ryan Tedder
19. Alexandra Burke - All Night Long (Remix) feat Pitbull
The 3rd and final "Alex" on my list makes its appearance at #19! To be honest, I'm not a big fan of "Hallelujah" nor "Bad Boys" but this totally seal the deal for me. Yay!
psst: Pitbull is everywhere this year and I love this the most!
18. Mini Viva - One Touch
The saddest pop music casualty this year :( What's not to love about this song? And what's not to love about Mini Viva? *sigh* Listen and you will know what I mean.
More from Mini Viva: I Wish (Cahill Remix)
17. Taio Cruz - Dynamite
How can I not put my hands in the air when I listen to this? And here I thought he can't get any better than "Break Your Heart".
More from Taio Cruz: Higher feat Kylie
16. Nicki Minaj - Right Thru Me
Who knew she can release such lovely melody with such "classy" lyrics? "You see right thru me, how do you do that sh*t?" Perfection!
15. Cee-Lo Green - Fuck You!
Fuck You? Oh yeah! You can't go wrong with a song title like that (only if you're Cee Lo or Lily Allen)!
The Glee Cast version feat. Gwyneth Paltrow ain't too shabby.
14. Graffiti 6 - Stare Into The Sun
The voice. The production. The melody. The video. There's just so many things to love about this song. Refreshingly satisfying :)
More from Graffiti 6: Annie You Save Me
13. Nelly - Just A Dream
Nelly is finally back with a bang this year. I'm surprised that a rapper can have the most "heartbreaking song of the year".
12. Adam Lambert - Whataya Want From Me
I don't watch American Idol but Lambert proved that talents really does shine brightly/loudly anywhere you go. Too bad I don't think he can top this song anytime soon.
Here's a goodie: Mash up of WWFM of P!nk and Adam.
11. Darin - Lovekiller
Why isn't Darin a breakout international popstar yet? Beats me. He is one of my faves male popstar, and his album, Lovekiller is one of the best album I've heard this year. That gotta mean something, right?
More from Darin: Drowning & You're Out of My Life

10 GIFs from One Direction's "Midnight Memories" You Need to Re-Experience
Happy "Midnight Memories" Day! If you remember, fans of One Direction could not contain their elation when the Midnight Memories album dropped in November. Now, months later, that elation continues with the British-Irish boy band's music video for its song of the same name, the third single off the CD after "Best Song Ever" and "Story of My Life."
But before you watch the MV for the first time — or even for the millionth time, whatever — check out ten GIFs from "Midnight Memories" that are worth more than a cursory glance:
Ridin' dirty.
*cough cough*
No one's ever hopped over a counter with such finesse.
Run, Niall Horan, run!
Zayn Malik + a dog = the cutest thing you'll see today.
Eleanor Calder had better look out.
Are those actually throwing spoons, Liam?? So brave.
Brave, but not graceful.
Praise the old folks!
Oh, umm… awk.

My college barkada, D, and I set our regular dinner meetup the other day. She suggested Sunnies Café at Bonifacio High Street.
I got excited because I have again a new place to check out. And boy, Sunnies Café didn't disappoint me! As soon as I enter, I am greeted by a cool yellow mixed with nude colors, quite like sunshine actually, lol!
Of course, the clincher is the food. Well, the ones we ordered were superbly yummy, except for the matcha drink I got which I find lacking the matcha or green tea tangy flavor. I prefer a more umami-rich matcha.
My take: Highly recommended!
Sunnies Café
B3 Unit 748 Bonifacio High Street, BGC, Taguig City

A Classic, Cheaper: Affordable Uten.Silo Alternatives
This weekend a friend and I found ourselves deep in the discussion of the always entertaining topic of, "if I had all the money in the world" scenario, specifically about organizing and furnishing our ideal home office/maker studio. At one point both of us blurted out the very same design while describing our ideal workspace storage: the Uten.Silo wall organizer...
Designed by Dorothee Becker in 1969 and reissued by Vitra, the Uten.Silo's versatility as a storage unit makes it applicable to just about any room, and not surprisingly has become a commonly coveted design classic. Unfortunately, like many, my affinity for the modular and mod storage classic is tempered by its retail price ($395.00 for the smaller version), compelling me to seek a few affordable alternatives (all the while hoping I might still find a used bargain one day online or at a flea market).
The Land of Nod's I Could've Been a Wall Organizer isn't hiding the source of its inspiration, obviously very similar (though simplified) to Becker's original. Each storage unit is 16"W x 3.25"D x 22"H, available for a reasonable $49.00, and available in aqua, lime, and pink (spray paint them for a custom color finish for something beyond the playroom spectrum).
For the price of one small Uten.Silo one could instead purchase two sets of Urbio's Big Happy Family ($175.00 each) with a few dollars left for some decent pens to throw in. This modular wall organizing kit works well in the home office, in the kitchen, craft room, or as a hanging wall garden. Unlike its classic predecessor, the Urbio system is highly customizable for unique vertical, horizontal, or freeform arrangements since theses sets are comprised of individual magnetically supported and repositionable squares.
Design*Sponge's Amy Azzarito applied her DIY skills and sewed a graphic felt and canvas rendition of the Uten.Silo, replacing the hard plastic containers with softer and flatter pockets for wall storage. Depending upon scrap materials available, this DIY project may only cost you a few hours to complete.

How it works
How it All Works
Getting what you need – an essay, a paper, a report, a case study, research, editing, etc. – could not be easier with Smart Paper Help. The process is simple, streamlined, and always keeps you in the loop – from the time of order to the final approval you give. Our work is not finished, in fact, until you are completely thrilled with what you have received. Here are the simple steps.
Placing an Order
You will find the order form on our site. It will ask you to fill in a number of fields. We encourage our clients to complete this form with as much detail as possible, so that w an assign the perfect writer to the task. The basic fields on the form include:
- The type of product/service you need
- The content field
- Your academic level
- Number of pages
- Research/Resource requirements
- Deadline date
There will also be a field for additional information. We urge you to provide as much additional information as possible. Every detail helps us and your writer better meet your needs.
Secure Payment
Once you have completed your order form, we ask that you review it carefully. It is easy to make mistakes with drop down menus. When you submit your order, you will be directed to the payment page.
Smart Paper Help accepts all major credit cards, as well as PayPal. You will checkout just as you would when you make a purchase from any online retailer. We use a secured SSL-certified payment processor – the same one that major online retailers use, and your financial information is never held by us. To date, there has never been a breach of our customers' financial information, and we do not expect that this will ever happen.
Communication Throughout the Process
From the time a writer is assigned to your project, you will have access to that writer and to our customer support department, 24 hours a day. Here is how this communication works:
- You will be given a password-protected personal portal on our site. Your writer will have access to it as well. You may message your writer at any time to check on progress, to provide more information, etc.
- Your writer will also use this portal to communicate with you. If s/he has any questions or needs some more information, you will receive a message. And, writers often send drafts to their clients for approval before they move forward.
- It is important that your check your personal account often to see if there are messages.
- You also have several methods of communicating with our customer support department – through your account portal, by phone, and by live chat. If you ever have any questions or concerns, we want you to contact us immediately. Our goal is your complete satisfaction, and we will do whatever is needed to achieve that.
When the Order is Completed
As soon as your order is finished, you will be notified both through your account and via your email. At this point, your job is to access your account portal, open the product, review it, and take one of two options:
- You approve the final product, click "approve," and then immediately download it onto your own device. The product belongs to you and you alone, and we wipe it from our system. It will never be seen by anyone else – guaranteed.
- You may wish some changes to the final draft. All you need do is click the "Revision Request" button, tell your writer what revisions you want, and they will be completed as quickly as possible.
- You have the right to request revisions until you are 100% satisfied.
Giving Us Feedback
We cannot get better unless our clients tell us how we are doing and give us suggestions for improvement.
At the end of each transaction with us, a client will be asked to complete a feedback form, telling us what we are doing well and in what areas we can improve. We urge you to give us feedback.
We know you will be thrilled by both the process and with the products you receive from Smart Paper Help. If you have any questions or just want to discuss a need you have, get in touch with our customer support team.

"Stars fell like rain" was how ancient Chinese astronomers described the first Leonid meteor storm in AD 902. Subsequent stargazers likened the celestial display to a "night of raining fire." Others believed it surely heralded Judgment Day.
While Leonid outbursts happen every year, their intensity and conditions on Earth don't often combine to make them easy to view. But tomorrow and Wednesday, astronomers anticipate a visually epic event. At the height of the storm, as many as 10,000 meteors per hour will flit across the sky like celestial fireflies.
"It is an amazing thing to see," says Catharine Garmany, director of Fiske Planetarium at the University of Colorado in Boulder. The eye of the storm is expected to occur during daylight hours in the United States, but predawn viewing should produce a worthy spectacle.
Meteors, commonly called shooting stars, are streaks of light that appear when a comet's contrails evaporate in the earth's upper atmosphere. The Leonids, so named because they seem to emanate from the constellation Leo, are in fact the long tail of the comet Tempel-Tuttle, which orbits the sun every 33 years. As the earth passes through the comet's wake, the Leonid showers are visible for several days as particles speed across the sky at up to 160,000 miles per hour.
Astronomers can't say exactly what the Leonids will produce this year. But the showers hit peak activity only about once a century, and many believe 1998 will be the year. Still others say November 1999 could bring the best show.
But not everyone is excited about the meteor event: Some 500 satellites are in orbit around the earth and could be damaged by rocketing debris. Meteors range in size from a grain of sand to a pebble, and one whack from a larger particle could knock out a satellite. Because these bits move through space at such terrific velocities, even the smallest bits pose a threat. The speed can cause an electrically charged cloud called a plasma, which could upset sensitive electronics.
"Even a grain of sand will do a great deal of damage when it's traveling on the order of 40 miles per sec," says Ian Stewart, senior research associate at the Laboratory for Astrophysical and Space Programs at the University of Colorado. "That would cross the country in 15 minutes." It would also pack a wallop comparable to a blast from a Colt 45.
Satellite operators - including the US military - are taking precautions, such as angling solar panels in the least vulnerable positions. The Pentagon considers the threat to its spy, communications, and other satellites as "elevated but not serious" - not enough to change any military preparations in the Persian Gulf.
For space scientists, the Leonid storm provides more than just visual entertainment: It is a rare opportunity to learn more about meteors. The US is flying two research aircraft over Japan during the storm's peak, at altitudes as high as 40,000 feet. The $870,000 mission is a joint project of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, and the National Science Foundation.
"What the return of Halley's comet was to comet studies, the return of a Leonid storm will be to meteor astronomy," says Peter Jenniskens, a lead scientist at NASA's Ames Research Center at Moffett Field, Calif. "The Leonid showers' historic role cannot be overemphasized, but scientific observations have been very few."
NASA's Electra aircraft will tote state-of-the-art observing equipment to measure the density and fluorescence of the molecules as they vaporize. This could help researchers estimate the weight of a meteor, and may even provide clues about the origin and prevalence of life in the universe.
* Best place to view the storm: Eastern Asia and Australia. (But don't worry, even in North America, clear skies should allow for a good show, even without binoculars.)
* Set your alarms: The best viewing will be around 2 a.m. (in observer's time zone) on Nov. 17 and 18. Next chance to view a Leonid storm may not be until 2098 or 2131.
* Viewing tips: Get away from city lights. Focus on the darkest part of the sky, about 50 degrees up from the eastern horizon.

Under U.S. law, employers must complete I-9 Work Verification forms for all employees—citizens and noncitizens alike. The I-9 process has been the subject of recent controversy, as the government has been cracking down on worksite compliance by targeting employers. The number of I-9 audits conducted by Immigration and Customs Enforcement goes up each year, and so making sure your company is compliant is more important now than it has ever been.
The Form I-9 requires information of the foreign employee, a certification by the employer that it has verified the employee's work authorization documents, and a re-verification of work authorization following expiration of those documents. However, although the form itself appears relatively uncomplicated, failure to complete and maintain I-9s properly can result in large fines and civil liability, as well as criminal fines and imprisonment. Employers have been hit with hundreds of thousands of dollars in fines for mere paperwork errors and sued for discrimination resulting from improper I-9 practices. Routine I-9 audits are critical to ensuring good-faith compliance with all applicable immigration laws.
E-Verify is an internet-based system that allows employers to verify a new hire's work authorization by checking the employee's information against Department of Homeland Security ("DHS") and Social Security Administration ("SSA") databases. At the Federal level, participation in E-Verify is mandatory for federal government agencies and a few others, including businesses having contracts with federal agencies. Some states have also enacted laws mandating the use of E-Verify. For the rest of U.S. employers, however, E-Verify is voluntary.
Another program closely related to E-Verify is the ICE Mutual Agreement between Government and Employers (IMAGE) program. IMAGE is a voluntary program through which employers sign an agreement with the government promising to engage in certain practices to prevent unlawful employment. To become certified in IMAGE, employers must, among other requirements, enroll in E-Verify, have a written hiring and employment eligibility verification policy, conduct an internal Form I-9 audit at least once a year, and submit to an I-9 inspection.
As an employer, there are many different factors that should go into your decision to participate in E-Verify or IMAGE. For example, many employers have to consider the costs and burdens associated with verifying employees. Additionally, it is important to have an immigration attorney evaluate your I-9 forms and practices prior to submitting to government inspection.
Our attorneys are experienced in issues relating to E-Verify, I-9, and overall worksite compliance. We are experienced in conducting I-9 self-audits to correct any mistakes and rectify any unlawful practices. We can also provide training and help you put a proper compliance system in place so as to avoid fines and lawsuits, or provide legal counsel if you are in the midst of an I-9 audit or civil lawsuit. We are also available to help you evaluate your decision whether to enroll in E-Verify.

Get to know your garden -Intimately- part one.
Good display
A daunting prospect ?
The garden season is almost upon us and the thought of it is a daunting prospect to many people,however, this need not be the case.With a little knowledge you can have a beautiful garden without it costing the earth. It is true that gardening can be expensive,especially if you choose the wrong plants for the wrong situation, and seeing expensive plants die before your very eyes is frustrating. Another frustrating aspect of gardening is when your flowers are at their peak of beauty they are attacked by bugs,fungi and viruses.
In this series of articles I hope to give the beginner and those who are unsure,some tips {including saving money} when planning your garden or changing your plants for more suitable ones for your particular situation.
Gardens are like you,unique and with a character of their own. I will commence by imparting some basic knowledge everyone needs to be aware of before purchased plants are procured. the first step is to get to know your garden intimately.
Plants whether wild or cultivated need sunlight {as indeed we do},and so light is an important factor as in the situation where they grow,and the aspect. For instance basic knowledge is needed to learn about your light,situation and aspect. This not in any way complicated as we shall see,by looking at the subject in very easy and simple stages.
These types of flowers will thrive in a south facing sunny aspect
Which way is your garden facing ?
Is your garden a windy site? A particular cold one? or is it sunny and sheltered? Find out which way your garden faces,if you are unsure use a compass. We also need to know what type of soil we have,and what is the Ph level,sounds complicated but it is not and we shall cover all this in easy stages.
Stage one-Which way is your garden facing? using a compass if you are not sure you need to know this basic fact. The way your garden faces which ever, that may be, will affect how much light and sun your garden will receive and when.
North facing gardens get the least light and therefore it is highly possible your garden is aslo damp,and in winter moss is quite likely to be a problem.
South facing gardens get the most light. East facing gardens will receive morning light . West facing gardens will receive afternoon and evening light.
Whether grown in containers as in this cottage garden or in beds aspect is important.
Sandy soils drain well and it is easier to work
What kind of soil do we have.?
Stage two- we know know the aspect and next we need to know what type of soil do we have. The easiest and simple way of finding this out is to water an area{s} of your soil with a watering can. If the water disappears quickly the chances are your soil is sandy or gravelly. However, if it remains for longer it may be clay soil;.
Still not sure? -then we need to take another step which will help to establish the type. This is also simple and easy to achieve. Take a handful of soil and gently squeeze it in your hand. if it feels slimy and sticky and when you release the pressure the 'whole' remains in shape it is clay soil.
Sandy or gravelly soil feels gritty and when you release the pressure the 'whole' crumbles apart. Peaty soil on the other hand feels spongy. Loamy or silt soil feels smooth,but retains the shape longer than sandy soil,but not so strong as clay.
Still not sure. Don't worry there is yet another simple test which is also easy to accomplish. Add half a handful of soil to a large glass jar/container.Fill it with water. Now go and have a cup of tea/coffee,for the jar will have to stand for a couple of hours. After this time return to the jar and observe the contents.
If your soil is the clay type the water will be cloudy with a thin layer of particles at the bottom The tiny clay particles take a while to settle. If your soil is sandy is sandy or gravelly ,the particles will have sunk to form a layer on the bottom and the water is relatively clear. Peaty soil will have bits floating on the surface,the water is a bit cloudy and a small amount of sediment is lying on the bottom of the jar,.Chalky soil will reveal a layer of white gritty fragments on the bottom and the water fairly clear with a layered sedimentation on the bottom,the finest particles on the top.
Now we are well on the way and only one more step and we will know the Ph level and hence most of what we need to know about the character of our garden.
Clay soil is heavy and hard to work
What is pH level? --Find your pH Level
What is the pH level.? Without going into science and chemistry the test is simply a means of informing us what the pH level is in our soil.this will reveal the pH level in whatever type of soil we may have. It will tell us whether the soil is acidic,neutral or alkaline.
Do the test---To find out the pH level you will need to purchase a soil test kit. They are quite cheap and readily available at Garden Centres or on line,just Google soil test kit. the method is as simple as ABC, get several soil cores from various parts of your garden. Throw away the the top inch or so, then mix them altogether and dry it out. Just follow the instructions on the kit,it will contain all you need to know and is cheap enough to do a couple of tests to get your reading.
Here in the UK, the pH range in the soil are generally between pH 4.0 and 8.5.
Acid or Ericaceous soils have a pH level of between 1-7, Peaty soil is a good example. Neutral soil with a pH level of exactly 7 is usually a clay soil. Alkaline or Limy soil has a Ph reading between 7-14 and has every chance of being a chalky soil.
Why is this important ? Knowing this information is very important and it will influence the Plants you grow. Most plants prefer a range of 6.5-7, the point where the nutrients are most easily available.
There are plants that require acid soil for example heathers,Rhododendrons,Azaleas for example. There are plants that require Alkaline soil for example Saxifrages. this knowledge will save you money. if you put an acid loving plant in Alkaline soil it will suffer and die and vice versa -it is that important.
Easy to use kit
We now have all the information we need
Now we have all the information we need. We know which way our garden faces,we know what kind of soil we have, and we know the pH reading. Armed with this information we can now consider what kind of plants will suit our garden.
In part two of the series we look at the range of plants that will thrive in Acid soils. These will include plants that are featured in other hubs of mine which are reviewed in some detail.
Acanthus mollis Bears breech will thrive in Acid soil
What a great start! I never stopped to think about a good part of this, but now I will.
Hi D.A.L. beautiful flowers. I have a new season to work toward and have some ideas. Always a helpful hub from you. Gardening has become one of my favorite pass times. Voted up, interesting and useful.
Hello Dal, Poor me ,I have been stuggling in my Brothers garden with clay soil(France) ,the tomatoes are okay but nothing else is happy apart from bushes , hope to learn more..best from jandee..
D.A.L. - branching out into gardening! It is lovely to see the other side of our bird man. Well done, I am sure I will learn something new along the way. I love anything to do with plants and gardens so I am looking forward to reading this new series.

This explains a lot. I tried and tried to get my azaleas to bloom and the rhododendron didn't die but didn't look happy either. Although other plant were as happy as could be and even flourished enough to look like they were choking the rhododendron. I never checked the ph. My bad.

- Premier League
Benitez has not discussed England with Terry
Chelsea manager Rafa Benitez has refused to comment on the possibility of his captain John Terry making a return to the England team.
Terry, 32, retired from international football in September due to his Football Association charge and subsequent ban for racially abusing Queens Park Rangers' Anton Ferdinand.
However, recent reports have suggested that the defender is considering a return to Roy Hodgson's squad.
"That is not my business," Benitez said. "My business is to keep him as fit as possible for every game. I only speak to him about Chelsea."
Terry made back-to-back appearances for the first time since February after appearing in Sunday's 2-0 defeat of Swansea at Stamford Bridge.
Frank Lampard impressed after coming off the bench, setting up Oscar's opener before netting his 201st Chelsea goal from the penalty spot to move within one of the club record held by the watching Bobby Tambling.
"Frank is a great player," Benitez said. "I'm really pleased he's scored another goal and hopefully he can score five between now and the end of the season and he'll be much happier and we will be the same."

Now that Furrey has been signed to a long term contract, I suspect the Lions will try to lock up Redding long term as well. Thing is, they're running out of time so I expect he will receive the Franchise tag keeping him from going into Free Agency and heading to another team (unless a team is willing to give up two first round picks to sign him anyway).
When FA starts, I expect to see the Lions go all out to land two guys. Curtis, the WR from the Rams, and London Fletcher, a MLB. After that I expect there won't be much activity until they can get a few more guys for decent money... such as Simeon Rice if he's released, and a RB just in case KJ isn't going to be ready for training camp.
The Draft should, if my hunches are correct, land the Lions a high quality DE. The rest of the draft should net another starter or two... but will it be Oline or other defensive players? I'm not sure yet in what order, but I suspect both will be addressed in this draft.
To summarize, my mid-February picks are:
Franchise tag on Redding.
Curtis in FA.
Fletcher in FA.
DE in the first round of the Draft.
I'll make more predictions later, when more information becomes available to make a half-way educated guess.

A degree (in full, a degree of arc, arc degree, or arcdegree), typically denoted by ° (the degree symbol ), is a measurement of a plane angle , defined so that a full rotation is 360 degrees. Given that 1999, the traditional degrees have been replaced by bachelor's (Bachelor) and master's (Master) degrees as portion of the Bologna procedure The principal motives for this alter are to make degrees internationally comparable, and to introduce degrees to the German method which take less time to complete (German students usually took 5 years or much more to earn a Magister or Diplom).
The present system of greater education comprises two types of higher education institutions, the universities and the polytechnics, lots of of whom refer to themselves as Universities of Applied Sciences (UAS) ?lang=en, ?lang=en With the exception of couple of fields such as Medicine and Dentistry, the Finnish method of Greater education degrees is in compliance with the Bologna method.
Science referring to the fundamental sciences and all-natural science (Biology, Physics, Chemistry and so on.) the corresponding degree are Bachelor of Science (.) and its master is called Master of Science (.). Yet another new set of Information Technologies degree conferred specially in the field of laptop or computer science, Bachelor of Science in Facts Technologies (.) and Master of Science in Details Technologies (.). The engineering degrees in India follow two frequent patterns.
The Larger Education and Instruction Awards Council (HETAC) award the following: A larger certificate at Level six An ordinary bachelor's degree at Level 7 An honours bachelor's degree or larger diploma at Level 8 A master's degree or postgraduate diploma at Level 9 A doctoral degree or greater doctorate at level ten. 54 These are completed in institutes of technologies or universities.
In countries in which only one particular doctoral degree exists, the degree of Doktor Nauk must be regarded as for recognition at the level of this degree. Not all universities supply degrees named precisely the very same, even if they have equivalent academic and qualified effects. And when you obtain the degree and attempt to get job employing it, you understand that it is of no use at all. The foundation degree can be awarded by a university or college of greater education that has been granted foundation degree awarding powers by the UK government. Check the details of your chosen degree and courses to make certain you meet these.
Potential students ought to check the RUCT 81 Code awarded to the study programme of their interest at every stage of their enquiries regarding degrees in Spain. Other individuals enable substantially much more flexibility, and even give you the chance to pick out majors from other programmes, such as a Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Commerce This means you can study diverse combinations of subjects and still complete your degree in three years. The degrees awarded by the universities and polytechnics are at par by law, but the content material and orientation of research is distinct.
