Morning, friends.
If you've been following along with my blog for awhile you may remember that I periodically check in with my goals and assess my accomplishments thus far. I'll be honest...I've been putting off doing this post for about a month now because I just haven't felt great about where I'm at in my business journey. However, I know that this is all part of the process which I am so grateful to even have the ability to experience.
If you'd like to read about what I've accomplished since the beginning of the year, continue reading below.
January 2nd, 2017 - Collaborated with the ladies over at A Blog Named Hero and their design team for the entire month of January. They shared dozens of card ideas using my stamps that I would release within the next few days...
January 5th, 2017 - Started the year off right with the release of two java-tastic stamps: Cup of Joy and How Have You Bean?. All the caffeine-addicted crafters like myself were way to excited for these.
January 19th, 2017 - Introduced another three items to my collection. This time, Valentine's Day themed. Be Mine, Folded Sweetheart Die Set, and Watercolor Background gave me all the heart eyes and were constantly being used throughout the month.
February 2nd, 2017 - Opened registration for my Valentine's Day Happy Mail Swap. This time around I challenged the participants to only send flat-items that could fit into an envelope. Definitely difficult, but oh so much fun!
February 4th, 2017 - Happy birthday to ME! I announced my special birthday promotion that I was giving a free Let's Get Crafty tote to a qualifying purchase on my shop. So glad that my customers helped me celebrate.
February 6th, 2017 - Received an exciting email from Simon Says Stamp about a sponsorship opportunity. It was the best birthday present ever.
February 17th, 2017 - My Handmade by Me stamp set was featured in Jennifer McGuire's Introduction to Distress Oxide Inks video. #craftersgonnacraft
February 20th - 24th, 2017 - Where you lead, I will follow. This week my DT and I hosted a Gilmore Girls Inspired Post Week where everyday one of us shared a project inspired by the heartwarming show. This series was one of my most favoritest things ever.
March 14th, 2017 - Baby chicks were chirping and daffodils were blooming which meant my spring release was available for purchase. I added two new stamp sets, Bunny Hugs and His Love, to my collection as well as a coordinating die set, Script Greetings Die Set.
March 24th, 2017 - Participated in the Spring Coffee Lovers Blog Hop hosted by Amy T. I love celebrating my love for coffee and crafts each season with this blog hop. Thanks so much Amy for always inviting me!
March 30th, 2017 - Speaking of celebrating our love for crafting, my DT and I hosted a blog hop in honor of National Craft Month! We had over a dozen different designers participate using a stamp set that I released the same day to celebrate the special occasion: Make Something Beautiful. It was awesome to see everyone's interpretation of the set...we all have our own unique style which makes crafting so fun.
April 10th - 14th, 2017 - My DT and I were super busy this spring with tons of post series...this week we held on called Homemade with Love where each day one of us shared a different DIY gift idea. From burlap banners to felt flower frames there is something that is sure to make you smile. P.S. I held this same post series the year before so I now have tons of DIY project posts available to view. Happy crafting!
April 17th, 2017 - Testing, testing! Today my podcast interview with Suzanne Moore went live on her website. This was an incredible opportunity that I am so thankful to have been given. It was so nerve-wracking for me but I'm glad I pushed myself. (Pssst...Can I tell you something? I actually haven't listened to it myself. I just can't. Keep my secret, k?)
April 28th - 29th, 2017 - Attended Simon Says CREATE in Columbus, Ohio. It was an amazing experience that I can not thank Heidi enough for. I got to tour the Simon warehouse and meet all the crafters that I admire on the internet. I also got to spend the weekend crafting away with happy stampers from all over the world. Fingers crossed I get invited next year!
May 22nd, 2017 - My Script Greetings stamp set was featured in a video by Yana Smakula. She used the bold sentiments to finish off her baryered backgrounds. Such a fun and simple technique!
June 3rd - 4th, 2017 - Attended the Heirloom Productions Rubber Stamp & Paper Arts Festival in W. Springfield, MA. I had attended the year before with my stamps (we were a brand new company at that point) and it was exciting to see how much I had grown since then. I was also able to meet some of my crafty friends in person including those from the Stamp Junkies group. It was great to meet you ladies!
June 8th, 2017 - Added the Abstract Florals Die Set to my shop for purchase. I always received questions about when this die would be available so I was thrilled to be able to finally offer it to you!
June 23rd, 2017 - Sponsored the Summer Coffee Lovers Blog Hop but wasn't able to make a project myself. *Insert sad face* I did share a ton of different coffee themed cards over on my Instagram the day of to celebrate though. Swipe through them here. All use my Cup of Joy and How Have You Bean? stamp sets so I thought they were perfect for the occasion.
July 8th, 2017 - Released two more coordinating die sets. This time for Banner Alphabet and Let Love Grow. I can tell from this post that the past six months have been all about die sets!
And that's it so far. I'm looking forward to seeing what I can do with the rest of 2017.
Have you accomplished any of your goals this year? Share them with me below!

It was a perfect Spring day.
She had gorgeous green eyes. The silkiest coat of greyish blue. And oh so much energy! This little Blue Russian Kitty was a bundle of fun!
It all started in a gorgeous apartment with the loveliest couple and their kitten Candy. She had us jumping around the living room trying to capture her beauty on camera. Then it was off for a family adventure to the river! I must admit, there were a few moments that I was scared that we were going to lose Candy as she happily darted around the park (and high up on a wall!), but all ended well. And we had one very tired kitten on the way home.

We are committed to creating new products for better health worldwideOtsuka in the U.S. has several pharmaceutical companies in the U.S. and we are all proud to be a part of the Otsuka Group. We share the global vision of a commitment to creativity and innovation and the consequent development and promotion of new products and innovative solutions for better health worldwide. In our relentless pursuit of the best patient outcomes, Otsuka in the U.S prides itself on a rich company culture that fosters an imaginative and entrepreneurial environment. It's where our top talent seeks to solve some of healthcare's most complex challenges. Otsuka in the U.S. is striving to disrupt the typical pharmaceutical development paradigm. We encourage debate, entrepreneurial thinking and innovation of the entire development process in order to create compounds that best serve patients' needs. Advances in technology have allowed us to rethink how we develop healthcare solutions. From eClinical trials to ingestible sensors, we are exploring the potential of technology and the role Digital Health can play in transforming the industry, and more importantly, providing additional options to patients, caregivers, health care professionals, and others. Every day, we challenge ourselves to stray away from the status quo through unconventional thinking, agility and collaboration. We prioritize the quality and efficacy of the compounds we develop, encouraging a robust creative process for our researchers. We aim to develop and deliver first-in-class and best-in-class medicines for use in neuroscience, oncology and cardio-renal. These are very exciting times for all of us at Otsuka in the U.S., as we not only have a portfolio of products that are making a real difference in areas of unmet medical need, but also have many new products at various stages of development. We invest for the long term, not just short term gain. To turn our vision into reality requires passion, leadership, dedication, diversity of thought, collaboration and perseverance. Our people have this in abundance, allowing us to come up with innovative ideas, to develop new technologies, to identify and seize new opportunities and hence create additional healthcare innovations. Along the way we have welcomed the opportunity to collaborate with other companies inside and outside of the pharmaceutical industry. We have also worked with various community and advocacy groups to help provide resources and better understand needs. Collectively, we are all honored to work tirelessly on behalf of patients and their loved ones to try and make a difference. We firmly believe, together we can share ideas and skills to solve healthcare complexities even faster. In the U.S., there are two Otsuka pharmaceutical companies:
- Otsuka America Pharmaceutical, Inc., (OAPI) commercializes Otsuka-discovered and in-licensed products in the United States; its Canadian subsidiary, Otsuka Canada Pharmaceutical Inc. commercializes products in Canada.
- Otsuka Pharmaceutical Development & Commercialization, Inc., (OPDC) clinically develops and registers innovative healthcare products on a global basis.
- Two companies with a common theme and mission: Otsuka–people creating new products for better health worldwide.

text: SR3's Dr. Holly Fearnbach is back in the field! For the next two months Holly will be partnering with NOAA Southwest Fisheries Science Center's Marine Mammal and Turtle Division (MMTD) scientists (Drs. John Durban and Dave Weller) to assess the condition of cetaceans off San Diego County, with a focus on coastal bottlenose dolphins. They are using an unmanned hexacopter to obtain vertical images to assess size, body condition and pregnancy rates of individuals using photogrammetry, the science of making measurements from photos. Similar to the Southern Resident killer whale research project, individual dolphins photographed from the air will be matched to a long-term photo-identification catalog, allowing measurements to be linked to individuals of known age and sex. The project is off to a great start with eight flights flown last week. The team collected aerial images of 20 individual bottlenose dolphins, one group of ~ 75 long-beaked common dolphins and a minke whale (see photos). This project parallels the ongoing collaboration between MMTD, SR3 and the Coastal Ocean Research Institute to study the condition of Southern Resident killer whales in the coastal waters of Washington State. In both projects, aerial photogrammetry is being used to assess the health of populations that have a nearshore coastal distribution and are therefore exposed to a range of potential anthropogenic threats.

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving and some extra time off to spend with family and friends.
We had an easy, low key Thanksgiving. We started the day off by spontaneously deciding to run a local 5k Turkey Trot as a family. We had a great time and the kids surprised me with how much their endurance has improved. Of course, there was most definitely lots of whining and complaining during that 3.1 miles. They are six years old after all! I ran/walked mostly with my son as he took off at the start line. Ron stuck with our daughter. She ended up getting 3rd place in her age group. She was quite excited about that. Until she learned she didn't get a prize for it. Boo!
Four days off from work, blogging and overall being lazy went by way too fast. But I had a great time so that's all that matters. Edited to add: I just noticed that I titled this with the wrong date. Hahaha! I had my fill of turkey, mashed potatoes, roasted side dishes, dips and pumpkin pie. In fact, I made my first ever pumpkin pie. Actually it was a Pecan Streusel Pumpkin Pie with Maple Whipped Cream and it was ah.maz.ing. I used Frontier Co-op Vietnamese Cinnamon and I swear it takes every recipe to the next level. I will be making that again for sure.
Now it's back to the regular grind. Or at least semi regular because the Holiday season is in full force now. I always say I'm going to start Christmas shopping in October so I'll be done before Thanksgiving. Well guess what? It didn't happen again this year. Lol!
A good place to start to make it feel like it's back to normal eating is with meal planning.
What's for dinner this week?
Sunday: Salmon + Roasted Asparagus
Monday: Crockpot Two Bean Veggie Chili
Tuesday: Taco Tuesday
Wednesday: Crockpot Whole Chicken + roasted butternut squash and purple potatoes
Thursday: Roasted Veggie Enchilada Casserole
Friday: Pizza night
Saturday: Leftovers/wing it!
How was your Thanksgiving?
What's for dinner at your house this week?

Meet My Neighbors:
About 5 years ago I moved into my neighborhood. We liked that the house was near family and that it had a courtyard. What we did NOT know was that I was about to meet some of my closest friends- my new neighbors! Throughout the years we have had countless events ranging from very meaningful to remarkably silly. We have laughed a lot, cried a little and everything in between.
Whenever I share about them on social media I get so many questions from you all. How did we meet? How do we plan all the parties? What makes our friendships work? There's clearly some interest around how 5 random ladies became such good friends so I wanted to bring them on and answer all your questions. We put our hearts into this and we hope it helps you build your own neighborhood friendships!
What we chat about:
- How first impressions aren't always accurate; sometimes it's worth taking a risk to get to know someone
- Embracing the beauty in our differences and seeking out people who are different than you
- Being the one to initiate communication with a potential group or supportive community
- Tips on how to build drama-free relationships
- Saying yes to creative get togethers, like a crepes and Zumba party. Why not?
- How to be a blessing to your friends while still maintaining loose expectations

Topic 6
Chapter 9 in Core Text
Key points in this chapter :
Ñ Need for Forecasting
Ñ Methods of Forecasting
Ñ Qualitative Methods
Ñ Quantitative Methods
Ñ Measurement of Trend
The Need for Forecasting
The increasing complexity of the environment in which organisations have to function and survive, together with changing demands and expectations, implies that every organisation needs to establish some view as to future values of key variables, even though these key variables are different for different organisations.
As with other techniques, forecasting is primarily concerned with trying to reduce the uncertainties that exists about some part of the future. Managers in an organisation hope that by applying some forecasting technique they can generate additional information about the future that may help them assess the future consequences of existing decisions and to evaluate the consequences of alternatives.
Methods of Forecasting
Depending on the variables being forecast, the methods adopted for forecasting and the perceived accuracy of the forecasts, such information may also affect the strategy formulation process itself. The organisation will clearly need to establish some monitoring system to compare planned performance with the actual performance. The alternative methods of forecasting can be divided as follows:
Qualitative Methods
1. Personal assessment
Based on his or her own judgement, an individual produces some forecast of the future situation. In some circumstances such an assessment can be relatively reliable and accurate. It is particularly appropriate in an operational environment when asking the front line staff their view of the immediate future: whether a particular machine will need repair or maintenance in the next month., whether stock levels are likely to last until the next delivery takes place etc.
2. Panel Consensus
Such an approach collects together a group of individuals and in a structured format tries to develop a shared idea of the view among the group, encouraging them to share information, opinions and assumptions. The difficulty with such an approach, however, is that it is very dependent on group dynamics and frequently requires a skilled facilitator to 'manage' the process of developing a consensus.
3. Delphi Method
In the Delphi method the experts never actually meet and usually do not know who the other panel members are. Each expert is given an initial questionnaire to complete relating to the area under investigation. A summary is then produced from all the questionnaires and this summary is then distributed to each expert who is given the opportunity of revising the responses to the questionnaire in the light of this summary of the group's views. This process is repeated until either an adequate consensus is reached or an agreed number of iterations completed. Typically, the Delphi method is used to produce a narrow range of forecasts rather than a single view of the future.
4. Historic Comparison
Under limited circumstances it may be possible to produce forecasts based on observed patterns of some similar variable in the past. Many products and services, for example, will tend to follow the life-cycle process.
5. Market Research
Quite often businesses carry out various market research activities inorder to predict the shape of the future things to come. For example, market research could be carried out by car manufacturers to determine the features that car buyers would want to have in their cars. Accordingly, cars could be manufactured to meet the demands and expectations of the consumers.
Quantitative Methods
Quantitative methods tend to fall into two general categories:
1. Causal methods
When two or more variables share a cause and effect relationship, it is easy to predict the changes in one variable on the basis of the changes in the other. For example, we know that the price of and demand for a product share a inverse relationship i.e if the price of a product goes up, the demand for the product will go down and vice-versa. Thus, when the cause and effect relationship between two or more variables is known, it is easy to predict the changes in one variable based on the changes in the other. If we even know the degree of resulting changes that take place, we can pinpoint with greater accuracy the resulting effect in the other variable.
2. Trend Analysis
Trends or variations could be divided into four types::
a) Secular trend: secular trends are attributable to factors such as population changes, technological progress and large-scale shifts in consumer tastes.
b) Cyclical trend: cyclical fluctuations are long-term movements that represent consistently recurring rises and decline in activity. A business cycle consists of the recurrence of the up and down movements of business activity categorized into prosperity, decline, depression and recovery.
c) Seasonal trend: although the word 'seasonal' seems to imply a connection with the season of the year, the term is meant to include any kind of variation which is of periodic nature and whose repeating cycles are of relatively short duration. The factors that may cause seasonal variations are climate and weather conditions, customs, traditions and habits of people etc.
d) Irregular trend: also called 'erratic' variations, these refer to changes in business activity which do not repeat in a definite pattern. It includes all types of variations other than those accounting for the trend, seasonal and cyclical movements. Irregular trends are the result of chance factors such as floods, earthquakes, strikes, wars etc.
Measurement of Trend
The various methods that can be used for measuring trend are:
1. Freehand or graphic method
2. Semi-average method
3. Moving average method
4. Method of least square

Paula Boggs Band - Elixir: The Soulgrass Sessions Review
When Paula Boggs is brought up, it's impossible not to think about her biography before getting into her music. A former army paratrooper, lawyer for Starbucks, VP for Dell, and most recently, a member of the President's Committee on the Arts & Humanities (PCAH), Boggs left all of that behind to pursue music full time. However, this does not mean that she is giving up on making a difference in the world.
Songs have been political as long as both have existed in this world, especially in the world of country music. Whether it's as conservative as Toby Keith's Courtesy of the Red, White & Blue or as liberal as Jason Isbell's White Man's World, most artist's are proud to take their stance on the political spectrum.
Boggs manages to promote her protests in this album, labeled with the genre "Soulgrass," which, as one would guess, is bluegrass and soul. Thankfully, for the sake of not dividing an audience, it doesn't focus on the bad from one side of the aisle. The lyrics focus on bringing attention to subjects that deserve attention. The lyrics are meant to mend, not demean.
Her song Benediction is the biggest example of this, which was written in honor of the nine lives lost in the 2015 Charleston, South Carolina church shooting. It is written to remind us that we must honor those lost and become a stronger community, not focus on the evildoer.
Need to light a candle
Need to bow my head
Toll a bell for Charleston
Nine black beauties dead
You may say it's hatred
Some may call it sin
All I know, by grace of God
The devil will not win
The primary focus of this album, also exemplified in Get Along Song, seems to be that we need to unite as a country. The political divide is the worst I have ever seen it, with extremes on both sides eclipsing the media, when the majority of this country understand that unity is what we need to thrive.
Everybody seems to have answers
Every day's a parade
Of people pushing any agenda
That promises a shot at front page
What the hell became of communion?
How the hell did you get so smug
To think we know so much from so little
And the most a stranger gets is a shrug?
Elixir: The Soulgrass Sessions is now available.

Plan the trade, trade the plan
My Overall Objective
In the next two years I endeavor to become a disciplined and consistently profitable trader. Since I keep working full time in front of my trading screens, my trade decisions are done during the day and I prepare technical analysis in the evenings and during the weekends. I will monitor myself through this trading diary and I will draw conclusions from my mistakes.
Basis For My Trading
I trade breakout pullbacks entering reversals against countertrend pullbacks. My trade decisions are based on price action using multi-timeframe technical approach however I don't limit myself to trade only from naked charts.
Trades are selected using candlestick analysis, trendlines, support and resistance levels. I use Keltner-bands and exponential moving averages as trendfilters. I use Fibonacci retracements and extensions, momentum and average true range for wave analysis.
Currency Selection
I will trade the following Euro currency pairs:
Strategy Rules
The first step to start every trading day is checking the market calendar to see if there are any major announcement or macro data on the schedule that may cause an intraday volatility burst or an inactive, tight trading range. I prepare my action plan early in the trading day and follow it without creating a new opinion during market hours.
Primarily I use two charts, an intermediate timeframe to identify the underlying trend through price action and a smaller timeframe tactical chart for entry/exit timing. I will focus on the short term trend but I will also look at one higher timeframe to get a broader view of the market trend and to be aware of important price levels. For short-term trend recognition I use 4-hours and 1-hour charts while 15-minutes and 5-minutes timeframes for tactical trade decisions.
I trade pullbacks and I do not try to pick tops or bottoms. I look for a countertrend pullback which reaches the Keltner bands on the trend chart. Once the trend starts to show its strength again by breaking the trendline that containes the pullback I look for a small pullback (on the tactical level timeframe) to test this breakout and enter when a candlestick pattern provides a signal. I separate the signal bar from the entry bar to prevent an early entry before the completion of the trade signal. I prefer missed profit to lost money so I rather wait patiently for the right oppotunity.
Rules of engagement
- Spot the trend
- Wait for countertrend move
- Detect the trendline breakout
- Wait for pullback with candlestick signal
Money Management rules
1. I always use stop loss to protect capital and cut losses with strict discipline. I limit the maximum loss per trade to 1% of my trading capital
2. I check the risk/reward profile for every trade before the entry. I aim for minimum 1:2 risk/reward ratio (in other words 2R profit target)

Aéropostale Has Been Delisted by the New York Stock Exchange
After shares of Aéropostale slid Thursday on bankruptcy fears, the company was delisted by the New York Stock Exchange early Friday.
That came after news that the retailer could file for bankruptcy as early as this month. Trading of the stock was froze not long after.
The beleaguered teen retailer reported that it had failed to meet the NYSE's requirements to stay listed and would begin trading on the OTCQX Best Markets—an over-the-counter market—under the symbol AROP. That could make it harder for the company to raise capital. Aéropostale's shares have slipped from an all-time high of $29.90 in 2010, to 15 cents when the stock stopped trading Thursday.
Aéropostale said it has no intention of appealing the delisting decision, which does not affect its stock price—excluding its effect on investor sentiment.
The company first received a delisting notification from the NYSE in November, when the Big Board said the retailer's average market cap had fallen bellow $50 million in a 30-day period. The NYSE delists stocks that have fallen near or to the penny-stock category, since even small movements of those stocks can trigger bouts of volatility.
Aéropostale shares closed with a market cap of $12.15 million Thursday—a 99.6% nose dive since the company's peak market cap of $3 billion in 2010.
The stock first slid below a dollar late August, and has continued dropping ever since as Aéropostale reported its third consecutive year of falling sales during its fourth-quarter earnings report last month.

This story appeared in Jim Hamilton's World of Securities Regulation.
The Federal Reserve Bank of New York has announced that it will expand the set of counterparties it uses for reverse repo transactions to include money market mutual funds. Previously, only entities designated as primary dealers could engage in such transactions with the Fed. The purpose of this change is to ensure the availability of enough counterparties to engage in reverse repo transactions when the Fed begins to withdraw economic stimulus. In October of 2009, the Fed issued an operating policy statement in which it noted that reverse repos were one tool it may use to withdraw economic stimulus. The Fed even conducted tests with prospective counterparties to determine the feasibility of using reverse repos in this manner. The Fed now appears ready to move forward with its preparations to remove accommodative monetary policy, subject to the caution that doing so amounts to "prudent advance planning" and is not intended to imply the timing of any change in monetary policy.
Under the Fed's program, reverse repo transactions would be conducted pursuant to a directive from the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) and would be offered to primary dealers and money market mutual funds (MMMFs), conducted through an auction for a fixed rate, settled through the tri-party repo system, and held against collateral from the Fed's System Open Market Account (SOMA). The Fed's announcement also stated that the initial eligibility will be limited to domestic MMMFs who can meaningfully participate in the program. The Fed's transactions with MMMFs will be limited to reverse repos, while existing primary dealers will continue to engage in a broader array of transactions with the Fed. The Fed may include other types of counterparties and allow for expanded eligibility in any future expansion of the program.
To be eligible, a MMMF must demonstrate that it: (i) is an open-end management investment company organized under the laws of one of the United States, (ii) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and holds itself out as a money market fund under, and is in compliance with, Rule 2a-7, (iii) has net assets of at least $20 billion for six consecutive months (measured at month-end) prior to submitting an application, (iv) has been in existence for at least one year prior to submitting an application, (v) is a consistent investor in the tri-party repo market (including transactions collateralized by U.S. government debt, agency debt, and agency MBS), (vi) is able to confirm and arrange settlement of a significant volume of transactions with the Fed, and (vii) is able to satisfy additional transaction requirements, including the ability to execute transactions with securities margined at 100 percent, execute transactions with terms of up to 65 business days or longer, submit minimum bids of at least $1 billion (a footnote states that a fund family may be allowed to aggregate the bids of its eligible funds, subject to the $1 billion requirement), execute transactions for next day settlement, and execute the required documentation.
In order to participate in the Fed's program, a MMMF must submit an application. Part I of the application covers basic information about the applicant and is due to the Fed by March 19, 2010. The Fed will notify applicants by March 26, 2010 if they have satisfied the eligibility criteria. Successful applicants will have until April 2, 2010 to submit Part II of the application, which covers a detailed description of an applicant's organization and governance, financial condition, regulatory and legal matters, compliance regime, internal controls, shareholder base, and other information. Applicants must further execute an information sharing agreement with the Fed upon request, execute a master repurchase agreement, and execute a tri-party custody agreement. The Fed's announcement noted that it will publish a master repo agreement in about one month.
An applicant also must submit to a review conducted by the Fed. The review to be conducted by the Fed must examine an applicant's compliance with the eligibility requirements and other relevant matters. The review will emphasize prudent counterparty risk management regarding the MMMF's and its investment adviser's financial condition, compliance program, internal controls, and legal or regulatory matters. The Fed may consult with the Securities Exchange Commission (SEC), the relevant self-regulatory organization (SRO), or other regulators. An applicant may be rejected if it poses undue risks to the integrity, reputation, or assets of the Fed. Similarly, an applicant may be rejected if it, or its investment adviser, has been the subject of litigation or regulatory action or investigation during the year prior to its application. The Fed has sole discretion to determine if the matter is material or relevant and may consider the stage of any proceeding and the prospective counterparty's regulatory compliance history. The Fed may drop a MMMF as reverse repo counterparty if the fund does not satisfy the criteria for continued eligibility.
In addition, various provisions of the securities laws and corresponding rules may be implicated by the participation of MMMFs as reverse repo counterparties in the Fed's program. With respect to previous Fed programs to stimulate the economy, the SEC granted no-action relief sought by the Fed, individual funds, and fund industry organizations. As of the time of this blog posting, the SEC had not issued any relevant no-action relief.

text: Share: Comments Print October 5, 2009 at 12:23 PM Notes from Arizona coach Mike Stoops Posted by Bob Condotta Here's a few notes from Arizona Coach Mike Stoops who spoke on a conference call this morning with Seattle-area media. (How did the bye help you out?) "It came at a great time for us, it would have been very difficult for us to put a bunch of our guys out there this past Saturday. We were pretty banged up obviously from the experience at Iowa and Oregon State. Those are usually two pretty physical games. So we were pretty banged up. It came at a good time for us. Coming out of camp playing for four straight weeks. (Are you pleased with the team?) "We're playing pretty consistently. We haven't had some real peaks and valley. I think we're pretty consistent right now. Obviously the low point was losing (TE) Robbie (Gronkowski). We weren't anticipating that. We were hopeful that we would get him back. So we had to adjust a little offensively in what we do and what we emphasize. Obviously the quarterback position was unsettled in the first part of camp and the first month of the season. So we're doing some good things. There's a lot of things we can improve on as a team. Particularly our third-down defense. And when you look at Washington and what they've done on third down that will be a huge part of the game this week I'm sure." (What has Foles given you at quarterback?) "Nick has just brought some consistency I think to our offense. He's a guy that both quarterbacks have a lot of talent and great arms. Nick showed some great poise up at Oregon State. And that's just kind of how he's built. When you watch him. He's not a guy that's going to get too up or too down." (What does Nic Grisby give you?) "Nic was off to a great start to the season. Obviously he got hurt early on. He had a great run in that game and got hurt early. His ability to make people miss. His open field running is the things that you like about Nick. He has that ability to make people miss and he's kind of the homerun hitter. And that's really what we need now that we lost Robbie. To have another big-play guy back there is important to Nic. Like I said great speed and guy that can make you miss in a tight space." (On Washington) "I don't think there's any comparison. As a team, obviously the organization is much different. There ability on both sides of the ball is much different. Jake (Locker) is probably playing as well as anybody in the country at that position. I think he possesses some unique qualities that I always new he had. Obviously his accuracy has improved under Steve (Sarkisian). Just his presence as a quarterback is much different than any time than we've faced them. And that's the thing I think you notice with them. You always got a chance with a guy like him. And they've surrounded him with some quality receivers and they ran the ball effectively Saturday so that adds another dimension. So they're growing within that offense. Some of the throws he made in that game were just silly. Just the ability that he possess. I tried to tell people for years. It didn't take me long to know what kind of player he was two years ago. Trying to find him was very difficult for us. He presents a huge challenge for us. And Steve has done a great job developing him as a player." (Other players returning.) "Brooks Reed will be back today. I don't know what level he's going to be at. Nick is still sore with a shoulder. Bud Wright will be out, our slot receiver. He had a meniscus problem. … Antoine had an ankle. He's back 100 percent. …. Brooks Reed and Nick are still the guys who are on the way back." (How has the offense changed without Willie Tuitama?) "Not much. We're very similar to what we were a year ago. With Matt we do some things differently to try to create some opportunities with Matt running the football a little bit different."

Sana'a, Yemen
Buying a SIM card for your phone in Yemen entails giving a copy of the picture page and visa stamp of your passport to the store-owner which he presumably passes along to the appropriate authorities, and filling out an application form which must be stamped with your left thumbprint. A phone call is then made to some mysterious entity and only then do you get your cellphone number. One assumes in these disturbing times, that the Yemeni government wants to keep tabs on who's who. (It is interesting to note which countries keep close tabs on such things. In Algeria, Egypt, Palestine, Lebanon and Syria you pay cash and trundle off with the new SIM and phone number, nary a piece of paperwork in sight. In Tunisia, Libya and Yemen your passport is required and recorded. I cannot quite find the common thread there.....) The good news is that the SIM card and a charge card costs the grand total of $12. Email is also very cheap here at 50 cents an hour (100 Yemeni Riyals) for relatively fast connection, with internet cafes everywhere in the major cities.

Local lighting designer, media designer, electrician and Assistant Lighting Designer at Children's Theater Company (and elsewhere!)—these are but a few of the titles held by Kathy Maxwell. Kathy's a well-known figure around town, having made a significant mark on the theater scene since moving here from Texas about a decade ago. Always a smart and resourceful designer, Kathy is also an observant and insightful person and a conversation with Kathy is always an illuminating one.
I'm a lighting designer who just happens to get more video designs than lighting designs—which is a recent development. Video design as a medium is still relatively new, especially at many theaters in the Twin Cities. People, myself included, are still trying to learn where projections fit in and how to incorporate them successfully into productions.
Many times I feel as if the word projections gets thrown out by someone on the creative team and, before anyone knows what's happening, there is a video designer sitting in the room complaining about throw distance and lumens and asking pesky questions like, "Is there a budget?" and "Does the theater own any video equipment?" Next thing you know, the whole team is arguing about midi and how many boards one operator can feasibly run at once—and whose responsibility is it to program said midi?
Finally everyone storms out not having reached any conclusions, but knowing that the show is gonna need more money. Yep, definitely gonna need more money.
The five other design elements are entrenched in our thinking and planning. No one needs to remind people that props and costumes have to be stored somewhere backstage. No one needs to explain the need for a stage crew to move large set pieces. No one needs mention that gear for a rock show is different from gear to do a straight play. These are simply tropes for anyone working in technical theater. When it comes to video, however, since everything is brand new, it is hard to come by a frame of reference or knowing what resources are appropriate to draw from.
Directors don't instinctively know if the design they just described to you might cost roughly $20,000. Production managers don't preemptively say, "Without two control systems for sound and video, tech will go extremely slowly since only one person can program at a time." Companies don't budget for video once the director has uttered the much-maligned words, "I want to add projections." This means when I arrive at the first production meeting, I basically have to state some very hard truths including:
"No, your 8-year-old, long-throw projector will not work in this application."
"No, your Mac Mini can't run seven simultaneous video outputs."
"I can't rent projectors for free."
"This is not the right cable."
Usually, the first and most difficult thing I have to explain is the limitations of the gear the theater owns and what that means for the design. In a world where people expect computers and technology to do anything they want as fast as they can imagine, it's hard to explain that what the director has asked for is not achievable. "Well, you see that's not possible because the maximum output resolution of your computer—even with gear such as a TripleHead—is 2560 pixels by 1600 pixels which you are trying to divide over three projectors. Which means the closet native resolution per projector is 800 by 600 and, since you are trying to project across 30 feet with only 800 pixels, your image is highly pixelated. And…"
Did your eyes just glaze over? When I started talking about "TripleHead" and "maximum output resolution," did you go to your happy place? Did you have flashbacks of your ex-boyfriend who worked in IT yelling about RAM and GPUs and how no one understood what they were?
This is where I become that ex-boyfriend.
Computers are not magic. Projectors do not just work. And not all of them are right for every application. While a computer and projector may have worked for your last show, they could be completely useless in your next one. I know, I know: You just bought that projector for that last show. I hear you. The computer was fully loaded when you purchased it five years ago. I understand. It works just as well as they day you bought it. Believe me, I know how expensive a projector rental is. But this does not change the fact that what you want from video is not achievable with the gear you have provided me.
You must change your expectations or provide different gear. Period.
The second thing I find myself reminding people is that, just because we have located the gear, that doesn't mean we are done. As with lighting and sound, video must be programmed during tech and played back during performances. It sounds obvious—but you would be surprised at the number of times I have brought it up and heard, "Oh, yeah. I didn't think about that."
There are many options and solutions to accommodate the most bare-bones theater, but these options and solutions need to be brought up and discussed—preferably before tech. Waiting until the last day of tech to inform your video designer that they do not have a board op because the production manager couldn't find one, and here is the midi cable they will need to be linked to the light board, is not totally fine.
Let me repeat: That's not totally fine.
In my experience, most directors don't understand the scope of the video design they are looking for and how it fits into the gear their company owns or can afford. Many production teams simply overlook such necessary things as additional control systems or additional personnel that may be required because they simply didn't think about it.
Video is a whole new design area with specific needs and requirements that must be considered if the design is to be achievable—much less successful. If companies are interested in producing shows with video they need to start investing in it and providing it with the necessary resources.
I told you: You're definitely gonna need more money.

The day had started really well; a ride of 65 km on my bike and chocolate croissants with my housemates in the garden, as many other Saturdays. Hoping to find my mailbox full of messages from people who want to support the Team Dai Challenge 2010, and still with the cup of coffee in my hands, I log in my hotmail and find this message:
"Dear Alex,
This is to inform you that I am sorry to say that I had been asked to inform you that your initially planned PES in Costa Rica paper has now been dropped out of the agenda due to a political decision which is out of my control. Hence I would like to ask you for an apology for the change. We will find opportunities for you to present it to us sometime next occasion. However, pls be informed that you are still invited to the workshop as a general participant but not as resource person.
Hope you understand my situation and the change.
Sincerely yours,"
The message relates to a presentation I was supposed to give at an upcoming NLMA Land and Environment workshop at the end of February. Unfortunately, I have been informed I cannot. May be someone was afraid of what I wanted to say. I imagine this person is not Laotian. The order must come from a person elsewhere, may be someone who flies in business class, eager to demonstrate me who has more power after a past discussion in which we disagreed on the approach. I wonder whether this person will also order that I wear a muzzle during the workshop so that I do not make "difficult" questions. Well, for the time being I will see this experience as the best professional complement I ever got.
I recall one phrase in a film that I saw long ago:
"you will steal my land, you will steal my words, but you will never get my soul".

Hmm, good point. The logical consequence of supporting Breaks is that we will start to see packages that use Breaks instead of Conflicts, so silently ignoring the contents of the Breaks field will result in packages being co-installed that should not have been. So indeed, I think we want Breaks support to be all or nothing.

William and Kate plans wedding venue and date
Westminster Abbey emerged as the favourite venue for the wedding after Middleton, 28, was spotted leaving the church recently.
It is believed the couple are keen on a Mar 2010 date but may end up choosing a summer month when the weather is more dependable.
"They're not going to be rushed and want to take things at their own pace," Sky News quoted a palace spokesman as saying.
"They're very important decisions to make and like any couple they want to make sure they've properly considered all of the factors."
The spokesman added: ""They do have a specific venue and specific date in mind. They have given firm direction on costs. But they need to consult with all the relevant parties on this."

The first picture is Sandra's window box. It was one of my Early Custom pieces for the summer. I had a request from a lady asking if I could do a gift certificate for a very dear friend of hers. It was to be a very special anniversary gift.
I was totally honored and thought what a great thing to do for all involved.
When I was making up the window box, it was a very warm week. Lovely to be working outdoors in early May.
I called Sandra to see if she would like her window box for the early long weekend, in case she was entertaining. Sandra asked if I had seen the weather forecast for the up coming week. I hadn't but quickly went to check..day time temps, not sooooo bad, night time temps 1 degree celcius!!!…WHHHAT?
The weather throughout May continued to be very perculiar. I put off some jobs, which meant I had a lot of catching up to do, but I wanted to be safe from the chilly weather. Tropicals and tender annuals were not going to enjoy that cold.
Sandra eventually received her gift and 6 weeks later the window box has filled in nicely (2nd photo)
June was also a perculiar month. Much more rain than usual. I was worried that some of the containers I had made up for people were going to rot. But it seems the rain hasn't affected the plants.
You can see from the 4th photo…(Sorry. the photos won't go where I want them to go!! ;-#) The King Tut Papyrus grass, doesn't mind the rain in the least. It loves it. Must grow an inch a day. I'm not sure if I particularly like it in this arrangement. It was more of a trail to see what conditions it liked…but you can see from the first photo, of the day I planted this, how much it has grown in ONE month!!!
It's round about this time of the season that some early planted annuals will be getting leggy now. Don't be shy. Give them a hair cut. Make sure they are well watered, dried out plants make them targets for insects and diseases. Once you have the watering figured out, give them a feed. 15-30-15 plant food. I use slow release fertilizer when I make up my containers, but by this time, they could use an extra shot! Doing this now, will get them through August and hopefully into September.
Take a look through my summer gallery to see what other creations I came up with.

It is difficult not to be trapped by the numbers: as many as sixty million, if you include the young people, their friends, relatives, whole families. So-called educated youth were sent from schools and families in China's cities to farms and remote rural settlements. European and Chinese researchers now say that official documents show that sixteen to eighteen million young people were relocated in this movement.
It lasted twenty-five years, from the 1950s to the late 1970s: the "Up to the Mountains and Down to the Countryside Movement." A whole generation of young Chinese students was affected. The worst years were the late 1960s and mid-1970s. The repercussions of these forced relocations continue to echo throughout China and across two to three generations of Chinese families.
Today China is slowly coming to grips with the enormous and still unspoken effects of the "educated youth movement," with its profound complexity and contradictions. It impacted China at every level. Five of seven recent members of China's powerful Central Politburo Standing Committee were educated youth. The current president of China, Xi Jinping, is an educated youth.
In these pictures, a lot is consciously hidden: the suicides, malnutrition, lack of medical treatment, rapes, and separation from family and home. It has taken Tang Desheng a long time to show his pictures publicly, and he is careful about what he shows. But the people who were swept up by the movement have understood.

"We should rip Barron Trump from his mother's arms and put him in a cage with pedophiles and see if mother will will stand up against the giant a–hole she is married to. 90 million people in the streets on the same weekend in the country. F—," Fonda wrote in a tweet, which has since been deleted.
First lady Melania Trump's communications director, Stephanie Grisham, called the tweet "sick and irresponsible," adding that the Secret Service has been notified. A Secret Service spokesman said the agency is aware of the tweet but declined to comment, citing the agency's practice of not speaking about protective matters.
The President's eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., weighed in on Twitter as well.
"You're clearly a sick individual and everyone is an internet bada– but rather than attack an 11 year old like a bully and a coward why don't you pick on someone a bit bigger. LMK," Trump Jr. tweeted, using the shorthand Internet term for "let me know."
The tweets come as the Trump administration has faced heightened pressure over its US immigration policies, which in some instances has resulted in the separation of undocumented children from their families.
On Wednesday, the President said he would take "pre-emptive" action soon while members of Congress work to address the situation.
CNN previously reported that although it is not clear what the executive action will say, Justice Department officials have been working on an executive order for the President to sign that will address the separation of families, according to a source familiar with the plans.

Hercules, Deianira, Nessus
From Ovid, Metamorphoses, Book IX
There was absolutely no reason after the centaur had pawed her and
tried to mount her,
after Hercules waiting across the raging river for the creature to carry her
to him
heard her cry out and launched an arrow soaked in the hydra's incurable
venom into the monster,
that Deianira should have believed him, Nessus, horrible thing, as he
died but she did.
We see the end of the story: Deianira anguished, aghast, suicide-sword
in her hand;
Hercules' blood hissing and seething like water in which molten rods are
plunged to anneal,
but how could a just-married girl hardly out of her father's house have
envisioned all that,
and even conjecturing that Nessus was lying, plotting revenge, how
could she have been sure?
We see the centaur as cunning, malignant, a hybrid from the savage time
before ours
when emotion always was passion and passion was always unchecked by
commandment or conscience;
she sees only a man-horse, mortally hurt, suddenly harmless, eyes sud-
denly soft as a foal's,
telling her, "Don't be afraid, come closer, listen": offering homage,
friendship, a favor.
In our age or scrutiny and dissection we know Deianira's mind better
than she does herself:
we know the fortune of women as chattel and quarry, objects to be won
then shunted aside;
we understand the cost of repression, the repercussions of unsatisfied
rage and resentment,
but consciousness then was still new, Deianira inhabited hers like the
light from a fire.
Or might she have glimpsed with that mantic prescience the gods hadn't
yet taken away
her hero a lifetime later on the way home with another king's daughter,
callow, but lovely,
lovely enough to erase from Hercules' scruples not only his vows but the
simple convention
that tells you you don't bring a rival into your aging wife's weary, sorrow-
ful bed?
…No, more likely the centaur's promise intrigued in itself: an infalli-
ble potion of love.
"Just gather the clots of blood from my wound: here, use my shirt, then
hide it away.
Though so exalted, so regal a woman as you never would need it, it
might still be of use:
whoever's shoulders it touches, no matter when, will helplessly, hope-
lessly love you forever."
See Hercules now in the shirt Deianira has sent him approaching the
fire of an altar,
the garment suddenly clinging, the hydra, his long-vanquished foe, alive
in its threads,
each thread a tentacle clutching at him, each chemical tentacle acid,
adhering, consuming,
charring before his horrified eyes skin from muscle, muscle from tendon,
tendon from bone.
Now Deianira, back then, the viscous gouts of Nessus' blood dyeing her
diffident hands:
if she could imagine us watching her there in her myth, how would she
want us to see her?
Surely as symbol, a petal of sympathy caught in the perilous rift between
culture and chaos,
not as the nightmare she'd be, a corpse with a slash of tardy self-
knowledge deep in its side.
What Hercules sees as he pounds up the bank isn't himself cremated
alive on his pyre,
shrieking as Jove his Olympian father extracts his immortal essence from
its agonized sheathing¾
he sees what's before him: the woman, his bride, kneeling to the dark,
rushing river,
obsessively scrubbing away, he must think, the nocuous, mingled reek
of horse, hydra, human.
¾C.K. Williams

Latest update December 9th, 2017 9:12 AM
Apr 08, 2012 Departments, From the CFO 0
By Raja Pabba and Rakesh Singh
The difficulty in managing IT costs for large enterprises has increased in the past 15 to 20 years because of the complexity inherent in managing IT Systems, which includes proliferation of sourcing IT services from multiple vendors, and delivering IT solutions. Typically, IT projects are the largest capital expenditures in most organizations – almost 50 percent – and operational IT expenditures have increased in most industries every year. Today's chief executive officers are unable to manage IT costs effectively because they do not fully understand the costs and value of IT.
Since the 2008 recession, many CEOs have decreased expenditures while trying to find ways to drive efficiencies and reduce the bottom line. The increased scrutiny of expenditures has placed immense pressure on the IT organization; many IT managers have difficulty communicating the value of IT and explaining why IT expenses keep increasing. In addition, the absence of accountability concerning IT expenditures is due to organizations' lack of financial management skills, processes and tools. Without clear and transparent understanding of IT value and IT expenses, CEOs are unable to make optimal investing decisions.
Thankfully, a new capability – IT Financial Management – is emerging. It encompasses a set of processes, tools and skills to manage, communicate, and evaluate IT expenditures.
Rules for Effectively Managing IT Costs
It seems straightforward for a CEO to manage IT costs similar to marketing costs. However, the complicated nature of IT functions doesn't fit this approach. There are three main reasons: 1) IT is a new management function and it has impact on the entire company; 2) there is a lack of general management skills within the IT function, although this is changing; and 3) there is a lack of management processes.
In this context, we recommend CEOs take a fresh approach to managing IT costs. Our research and combined experience has led us to suggest four rules to help CEOs implement effective IT cost management solutions.
Rule 1: Know thy costs. Before one embarks on the journey of managing costs, it is imperative for one to know the costs. This seemingly simple rule is difficult to implement because not all IT costs are tracked completely by IT management and many times the costs are buried in other departmental expenditures. For example, an increase in power consumption or space could be driven by IT consuming more power and space for its servers; these costs, however, typically are borne by the facilities department. IT expense information oftentimes is distributed to different departments, making it a challenge to consolidate the data. For example, a leading state university had one accounting system, but it was configured to manage IT into disparate accounts that weren't linked. More than 50 departments used this system and executives never had an idea of any of the IT costs. With this example in mind, managing IT includes evaluating the different types of costs that affect the department.
Rule 2: Know thy activities. After you have solved Rule No. 1, it is imperative to learn why these costs are incurred. In our experience, this can be quite challenging because of a lack of segregation of duties, roles, and responsibilities. In addition, a detailed discussion about getting this right is simply not in anyone's agenda. Correlating IT costs to different activities performed provides critical and powerful insights into how IT costs are distributed so that they can be analyzed for optimization. Our analysis of one leading Fortune 500 client revealed that the IT staff was spending almost 90 percent on operational-related work and the rest on new projects. This was quite opposite to what management had been thinking. Many decisions and plans resulted as part of this analysis, which not only led to better utilization of resources, but also enabled the company to look at outsourcing some of the non-value added activities.
Rule 3: Know why. Knowing why IT costs are occurring only provides the consumption side of the equation. The more important question(s) to ask is "why" the IT costs and the resulting activities are the way they are? What is the demand that is getting fulfilled by IT? An organization is about an internal balance between supply and demand for resources, so it is critical to understand "what" is driving the demand for IT services. This could lead to identifying inefficiencies that are not contributing to creating value. As an example, a large chemical manufacturer was spending the majority of its IT resources on reworking the system. We found that there was no prioritization of demand for IT services by different business units, leading to inefficient allocation of IT resources.
Rule 4: Know thy value. The responsibility of creating value in the organization must be on everyone's agenda, including IT. Based on Rule No. 3, knowing why someone is doing something in an IT organization is one thing, but tagging a specific value to the activity is completely different. This knowledge enables executives responsible for managing IT costs to move the conversation from cost to value. Migrating to value-based evaluation of IT expenses could become one of the key changes a CEO can bring to a company.
Benefits of Managing IT Costs
By implementing these simple rules, an organization can derive many lasting benefits, which may include reducing the operational costs that impact SG&A and improving profitability. Specifically, the following represents the major benefits inherent in managing IT costs.
In the current economic climate, managing IT costs is critical. A CEO needs to work closely with the technology executive to set the agenda for managing IT costs. Executives need to invest in sustaining their financial management capability when implementing processes to drive fiscally responsible decisions that deliver shareholder value effectively.

The tour with 9 lives.
Three days ago I pulled the plug on this tour but I never realized it had its own reserve energy supply.It turns out that airfare costs drop substantially in the 3rd week of October.
Return tickets from Tokyo to Vancouver are even cheaper. And if combined with:
Then tickets should be in the $1500 range or less. Though it says prices subject to change and that surcharges will be added so I don't know what the actual cost will be. However things look much more promising. BUT the unfortunate thing is I already cancelled the Biltmore Cabaret booking in Vancouver on Oct 14. Hopefully I get it back. Also, I'll have to find new venues for Toronto and Montreal and I am running out of time. (It's best to book venues at least 3 mos in advance).
So if we re-arrange the schedule and have the bands play in Vancouver first and then hit Toronto and Montreal, the tour may have a chance at continuing on.
Hurdles: 1. If we lose the Biltmore Cabaret, the tour is fucked! Vancouver has very few places to play shows and without Biltmore on the 14th it'll be almost impossible to find an adequate replacement. 2. I need to find new venues in Toronto and Montreal ASAP. It's likely I can change the Velvet Underground Booking to the following Saturday on Oct 16. There's a good chance I can do an all-ages show at Whippersnapper gallery again on the 17th. Hopefully Club Lambi in Montreal is still available on Oct 19.
The tour is not back on for sure but I am giving the bands another chance and if airfare is reasonable we can proceed to challenge the aforementioned hurdles. I seriously am not trying to toy with the hearts of people who read this blog or follow the tour. I was actually looking forward to relaxing without this albatross of a tour looming above but it would be a shame not to have these great musicians come to Canada. Wish us luck! And better yet, help us out on tour!!!!
