What to Do If the Bank is About to Call Your Business Loan
As a direct lending and advisory firm, we see a lot of cases of clients who come to us because the bank is about to call their loan.
The first things that need to be recognized in time of financial crisis are how to measure the risk of your bank calling your small-business loan, and what to do if you need refinancing.
As a result of the sluggish and uncertain economic recovery, many businesses are in danger of losing their bank loans. Loans can be pulled for a number of reasons, but the most common are either poor financial performance by your business or your bank's own credit problems. The latter can lead a bank to begin taking less risk and reduce loan balances. Unfortunately, your bank will generally not tell you your loan will be "called," or will not be renewed, until right before it takes action.
How can you assess if your business is being considered for termination?
Essentially, there are two categories of assessment when measuring the risk of losing your business financing:
1. the type of loans your company has and
2. your company's financial performance
Loan Type Criteria
The type of bank loans your company has are categorized below (from riskiest, and currently least popular with the banks, to safest and most popular for the banks to hold).
1. Real Estate: A commercial real estate term loan for your place of business
2. Machinery and Equipment: A term loan on machinery and equipment used for your business
3. Inventory: A revolving line of credit tied to your inventory balances
4. Accounts Receivable: A revolving line of credit tied to your accounts receivable balances
If your business has all four of these types of loans in place, all from the same bank, you are at the greatest risk of losing all or part of your financing. Banks are reluctant now to make all of these types of loans to a single client. They would usually welcome the opportunity to get out of loans with this breadth of exposure.
It is possible your bank will be happy to keep your credit in place with all these loans in place if your financial performance is as good as, or better than, it was last year. But a word of caution: if your bank has had unusually high loan losses, is financially weak, or has recently been taken over by another institution, it may call your loans even if your company is strong.
Company Performance Criteria
How was your company's financial performance over the past twelve months? The following financial problems are considered most damaging to your business's prospects of keeping its bank loans:
1. Less accounts receivable and/or inventory assets than agreed as the "borrowing base" required for the revolving line of credit amount currently outstanding
2. Insufficient trailing and projected cash flow to make debt service
3. Net operating losses for the current reporting period
4. A top-line sales decline from last year to this year
5. Fixed-asset devaluation below the agreed loan-to-value ratio (i.e. your building is worth much less than when you got your bank loan on it).
What to Do If You Need Refinancing
If you are at moderate or great risk of having your bank loans pulled or not renewed, what should you do?
The answer is "shop your loan," or have a professional shop it for you.
In the current climate, it is nearly impossible to find another bank to take over your loan if your current bank wants you to exit. So walking up and down the street to shop your loan will not be productive. Where else can you turn? The answer is alternative lenders.
However, alternative lending in the small-business lending world is fragmented and difficult to navigate. Few lenders will make one loan on all the assets of a company. Usually, each alternative lender specializes in a certain asset class. You are therefore left with the problem of having three or four new lenders, each with different terms and pricing, lending on different collateral. Coordinating this "circus" of lenders can be difficult, frustrating, and time-consuming for any small-business CEO or CFO.
Finding the Right Adviser to Help You
A smart alternative is to spend time finding an experienced third-party adviser to smaller businesses. The ideal adviser will be a small-cap investment banker specializing in restructuring that knows the small business alternative lending market and can structure a deal between multiple lenders. Such an adviser will need to have excellent contacts and relationships with appropriate lenders, and will have experience in the same size and sector as your company. It is helpful, of course, if the adviser is able to provide financing also.
At US Capital Partners, we are both a direct lender and offer specialist advisory services. We can advise on how to deal with a hostile bank, how to resolve lender issues, or how to refinance in distress situations. As a direct lender, we are well-positioned to negotiate on your behalf with your current lenders. Our ability to engineer optimal financing solutions for smaller businesses has made us one of the most innovative small to middle market investment banks in the country.
If you think your bank loan might be pulled or not renewed, contact us at (415) 889-1010 or visit www.uscapitalpartners.net.

Deutsche Telekom and France Telecom, the parents of T-Mobile and Orange in the Uk respectively, have formally signed off the deal to combine their UK network operations in a single joint venture.
Reuters quoted Deutsche Telekom chief financial officer: "Deutsche Telekom and France Telecom have committed themselves to a long-term partnership with this joint venture contract."
The agreement comes two months after the pair entered exclusive negotiations to pair their UK operations in a 50:50 joint-venture.
Deutsche Telekom is to contribute T-Mobile UK on a cash-free, debt-free basis to the venture, including T-Mobile UK's 50 per cent holding in its 3G network joint venture with Hutchison and gross tax losses carried forward of at least £1.5 billion.
France Telecom is to contribute the whole of Orange UK including £1.25 billion of intra-group net debt in order to equalize the value of the contributions to the joint venture.
The deal remain subject to regulatory approval.
The new network operation will immediately leapfrog market leader Telefonica O2 UK into first place in the market, with around 37 per cent share and 28.4 million customers. Combined, the venture will have revenues of €9.4 billion (£7.7bn) and EBITDA of €2.1 billion (£1.7 bn)
The merger and integration of T-Mobile UK with Orange UK should generate savings in excess of €4 billion (£3.5bn).
O2 has around 27 per cent, Vodafone has 25 per cent, Orange has 22 per cent and T-Mobile has 15 per cent at present.

text: So on March 9, 2014 i got to shoot with Harley's Love Shack this shoot was so much fun apart from having to go back and getting my light stands that i forgot, me and Harley's Love Shack went to the wynwood art district to take photos by graffiti and other cool murals around the walls of the area. While there we saw a lot of people shooting also but none in cosplay, so of course she got all the weird looks, but handled it like a champ lol she would make funny faces, wave, and even say hi to the people. After a while in the amazingly hot weather we finally finished driving from place to place wall to wall to get these amazing results. This girl is awesome i cant wait to work with her more in the future also one of these photos will be a print you can but signed by the amazingly talented Harley's Love Shack.

As well as exploring my new environment and familiarising myself with the local amphibians, I added a new activity to my repertoire – horse riding!
The feeling is really elating; the wind rushing past ones 'ears', the power of the horse below you and the speed at which you travel when the horse isn't held back.
I must however admit to initially being rather intimidated by the size difference, but once we had introduced ourselves and taken a few turns around the practice area we were fast friends.
We have already arranged for my next sojourn which I am looking forward to immensely!

Perhaps the best mattress topper on the market right now is the Sleep Innovations Gel Memory Foam 4-inch Dual Layer Mattress Topper. This unique product combines two popular mattress topper styles into one, resulting in a highly-rated, super comfortable bed pad.
What's unique about this product is it combines a 2-inch gel memory foam layer underneath two inches of comfy quilted fiberfill. By combining these two materials, it delivers unparalleled comfort, as well as pressure-relieving support and temperature regulation. Plus, a machine-washable cover holds both layers in place, so you don't have to worry about allergens building up on the topper.

Runner Up, Best Overall: DreamFoam 2-inch Gel Swirl Memory Foam Topper
If you don't have quite as much to spend on a mattress topper, another highly rated option is the Dreamfoam Bedding 2" Gel Swirl Memory Foam Topper. This product is made from gel memory foam, which provides several unique benefits to help you sleep better at night.
This 2-inch mattress topper is made from gel-swirl memory foam, which provides ultimate pressure point relief by contouring to your body. Additionally, the gel infusion increases air circulation through the material, drawing heat away from your body to help regulate your temperature throughout the night. As an added bonus, this product is made in the USA and is manufactured without any harmful chemicals.
According to reviewers, this mattress topper might just be a "miracle," as it helps to reduce various aches and pains and is incredibly comfortable. Several note it works well in a variety of sleeping positions and does not have the unpleasant "off-gassing" scent that many memory foam products do.
03 of 09
Best Down Alternative: Superior Microfiber All Season Down Alternative Mattress Topper
If you have allergies or simply don't like the idea of sleeping on a bed of real feathers, you can always invest in a mattress topper that's filled with a "down alternative." These products are designed to have the same feel as a cushy down-filled pad, yet they're stuffed with other more humane and hypoallergenic materials. For a good down alternative, we recommend the Superior Microfiber All Season Down Alternative Mattress Topper.
Featuring memory foam, microfiber fill, and a microfiber cover, this mattress topper is machine washable and comes in twin, full, queen, and king sizes. Customers who bought this topper have been mostly happy with their purchase. One said it adds extra cushion to their firm mattress but doesn't sink like other soft toppers do. Another said it gave them the best night's sleep they've had in a long time. In terms of negative experiences with it, a few reviewers said that after they washed it, the topper got lumpy. But most customers would recommend it to others.
04 of 09
Best for Back Pain: ViscoSoft 3 Inch Gel Memory Foam Mattress Topper

Products Tested by The Spruce
Our Process
Our writers spent two hours researching the most popular mattress toppers on the market. Before making their final recommendations, they considered 15 different mattress toppers overall, screened options from 14 different brands and manufacturers, and read over 35 user reviews (both positive and negative).
We bought three of our writer-recommended mattress toppers and had our reviewers test them nightly for two weeks. We asked our testers to consider the most important features when using these toppers, from thickness to overall comfort of the material. We've outlined the key takeaways here so that you, too, know what to look for when shopping.
What to Look for in a Mattress Topper
Thickness The thicker a mattress topper is, the more added cushion it will provide. Some thin options are 1-2" thick, and will do just fine if you simply want a little bit of added comfort on your bed. On the other hand, some mattress pads can be up to 6" thick — ideal if your bed is incredibly uncomfortable.
Material Mattress toppers can be made with a variety of materials, including different types of foam, down feathers, and regular pillow material. There are pros and cons to the different options: For instance, memory foam often has an odor at first, while down toppers may lose feathers over time. Consider the positives and negatives of each material before making a decision.
Temperature regulation Do you tend to get hot at night? Certain mattress toppers regulate body heat better than others, so consider this while shopping. Specifically, memory foam is known to retain heat, which can cause you to get too warm during the night, while down feathers are significantly better at maintaining a normal temperature.
Test Results: Sleep Innovations 4-Inch Dual Layer Mattress Topper (Best Overall)
What We Like
Great support
Super comfortable
What We Don't Like
Overhangs bed
Our testers found the dual layers of this mattress topper to be extremely comfortable, with one reviewer comparing it to "sleeping on top of a marshmallow." The topper also offered the perfect combination of support and coziness, according to our testers: "The feathertop part is soft while the memory foam part gives a little more support," one of our reviewers explained. The fact that it bounced back after a night's sleep and didn't seem to be wearing down after extended use was another major plus for our testers. One of our reviewers simply wished that the memory foam layer didn't hang over the bed, but mentioned that it wasn't really noticeable once the sheets were on.
Test Results: DreamFoam 2-inch Gel Swirl Memory Foam Topper (Runner-Up, Best Overall)
What We Like
Conforms to body
Soft and thick
What We Don't Like
Retains heat
Strong smell
If you're looking for a memory foam topper, our testers thought this was a good option, particularly in terms of comfort. "It molds to my body so much more than my previous topper, which wasn't memory foam," revealed one of our reviewers. However, one of our testers cautioned, "I do think it retains heat more, but that is pretty typical of memory foam." One of our reviewers also noticed a strong smell, especially at first. In general, though, our testers liked the level of support it provided. "I love the thickness and the density of the foam," one of our reviewers explained.
Test Results: All Season Down Alternative Queen Mattress Topper (Best Down Alternative)
What We Like
Easy to put on
Great temperature control
What We Don't Like
Loses fullness over time
Shifts during sleep
If you're looking for a lightweight cover for your mattress and not in need of tons of padding, our testers recommended this topper as a "convenient" option. According to our reviewers, it's super easy to put on and take off because it doesn't have pockets for the mattress. Another plus? "It doesn't make you hot when sleeping," one of our testers observed. On the other hand, one of our reviewers noted that if you move around a lot in your sleep, it will slip and need to be readjusted often. It's also not the fullest topper for the long run. "It does not maintain its fluffiness," one of our testers commented.

This autumn marks the 20th anniversary of Samuel Huntington's perceptive essay 'The Clash of Civilizations'. Arguing that in Europe the 'Velvet curtain of culture has replaced the Iron Curtain of ideology', Huntington went on to predict that the future driving force for international conflict would be culture and religion, rather than geopolitics or economics. For example, the conflict along the fault line between Western and Islamic civilizations was likely to become more virulent and, 'from the bulge of Africa to central Asia', we could expect continued battles between Muslims and neighbours: 'Islam has bloody borders.'
The essay, and book that followed, were treated with derision from many of the intellectual elite. Fouad Ajami was one of the first to insist that Huntington had 'underestimated the tenacity of modernity and secularism' in places where previously absent. This expanding mindset would ultimately prove stronger and act as a preventative force against civilizational conflict. Yet just eight years later, the optimism of these critics was put to the test as the 'power of modernity' idea was dealt a sharp blow by the carnage of 9/11.
There are problems, of course, with Huntington's thesis. What defines a 'civilization' is unclear; its contours are fuzzy. Some civilizations are vast – 'Western civilization' envelopes countries and whole continents. Others – Japanese – are marked by a single entity. Some civilizations, like the Islamic, are religiously defined, with Arab, Malay, or Turkic subdivisions; others, like China, have old religious undertones and changing. And although civilizations have certainly clashed over the last twenty years, almost as many clashes have occurred within them. The death toll in the conflict between Sunni and Shia in Syria gives testimony to the fact that a single religion may have its own fault lines.
This week Catholic writer, John L Allen offers another perspective.[1] He quotes the International Society for Human Rights, a secular organization based in Frankfurt, who claim that 80 per cent of all acts of religious conflict have been actually directed at Christians. According to the Study of Global Christianity at Wenham, Massachusetts, this translates to an average of 100,000 Christians killed each year for the past decade. Huntington was right in that many of these are Christians who have suffered at the hands of Muslim militia. But he was also wrong in identifying Christianity simply as a subset of Western civilization. Christianity is a global movement of 2.3 billion adherents. The Christians who have been maimed, raped and mutilated are not those in North America or Europe, targeted by competing 'civilizations' but are indigenous in those civilizations themselves, sometimes speaking the same language and eating the same food, or as members of ethnic and cultural minorities.
Over the last twenty years two thirds of the Christian population of Iraq has gone: exiled, or killed. The Pew Forum suggests that from 2006 and 2010, Christians faced persecution in 139 nations. Allen cites recent examples from Pakistan, Kenya, Nigeria, India, Burma, and Korea to reinforce this point. But he insists that this is not 'limited to a clash of civilizations between Christianity and Islam.' Hindu radicals were responsible for 500 deaths and 50,000 homeless among Christians in Orissa. The 300,000 Christians who disappeared from North Korea, feared dead, were persecuted for refusing to join the cult around founder Kim 1l Sung. Allen's conclusion is 'in truth, Christians face a bewildering variety of threats, with no single enemy.'
The debate over Huntington will continue, but a much more urgent need is to address the human rights violations and anti-Christian persecution across the world; vehement opposition to it has to be on the agenda of all civilizations.

Thousands take pride in Lexington festival, with a few protesters
Photo Slideshow : 2018 Lexington Pride Festival
Married couple Jim Fryman and Roger Wright found a spot under a shady tree near the stage Saturday to watch activities of Lexington's 11th annual Pride Festival that attracted 25,000 to 30,000 people.
"The community has come a long way but still has a way to go," said Fryman.
Fryman, 72, and Wright, 75, both of Lexington, have been together 43 years and raised two of Fryman's children from a previous marriage.
They got married in Indiana a month before the U.S. Supreme Court ruled June 26, 2015, that the fundamental right to marry is guaranteed to same-sex couples.
"We didn't choose who we are or why we are but we are proud of who we are and pleased that more and more in society are accepting us," said Fryman.
On the corner of Main and Limestone streets, a few young men protested the event.
Under the watchful eye of several Lexington police officers, they used a loud speaker to say such comments as "Homo sex is sin" and "You need to get right with God."
"We're here today to tell people that God can save these people from their sins and give them a new heart," Zachary Humphrey said in a brief interview.
Matthew Walters of Lexington stood near the protesters and waved a rainbow flag, a symbol of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer social movements.
"This is typical. These hate groups show up all the time. The good thing is both of us have a right to be here and we are proud," Walters said.
Shannon Wampler-Collins, co-chair of entertainment events for the festival for the second year, said the festival is "to celebrate diversity and to tell people who can't come out for religious or family reasons that many people have."
Entertainment at the festival, with hours from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. and various sponsors, ranged from live bands, drag shows, a theater troupe and DJ battles.
Lexington Mayor Jim Gray, who publicly announced in 2005 that he is gay, read a proclamation to loud applause "in celebration of our progress, our leaders and our bright future," declaring June 30, 2018, as "Lex Pride Day in Lexington."

Warm & inviting design for an Italian style Georgia kitchen
Rich, neutral marble and reclaimed materials set the tone for the space. Cedar ceiling beams help divide and define the rooms in the one open space. Deep archways and book niches further the European-inspired design. Niches on either side of the mantel add character and unique storage. To complete the look, Vikki layers texture with a pop of color to let the architecture of the home shine.

Calgary police said that a son of a police officer stabbed five students of the University of Calgary to death early Tuesday.
This is the worst mass murder in Calgary and it happened less than a week after a mass stabbing in Pittsburgh.
The victims were Joshua Hunter, Kaitlin Perras, Jordan Segura, Lawerence Hong and Zackariah Rathwell.
The incident happened during a party celebrating the students' last day in classes in the northwest residential neighbourhood of Brentwood.
The suspect, 22-year-old Matthew Douglas de Grood is a son of a veteran Calgary police officer, Insp. Doug de Grood.
The suspect was arrested after he was tracked down and bitten by a police dog and his parents was heart-broken when they heard the news.
Late Tuesday, police said they charged Matthew Douglas de Grood with five counts of first-degree murder.
On April 9, 2014, 22 people were injured in a mass stabbing at the Franklin Regional High School, Pennsylvania.

Whether in the independent residential air conditioning contracting world, personal life, spiritual matters, or new entrepreneurial adventures– success is a result of persistent hard work. Madam C.J. Walker was an African American businesswoman, entrepreneur, and philanthropist during the late 1800s and early 1900s and she is said to be first self-made, female millionaire in America. She eloquently described the relation between success and hard work in her quote, "There is no royal, flower-strewn path to success. And if there is, I have not found it. For if I have accomplished anything in life, it is because I have been willing to work hard." In our post today, we are going to uncover three ideas that exemplify what it means to engage in hard work:
Working hard means…
…Being actively involved in activities that will advance and grow you-
Working hard means being actively involved in your daily tasks and responsibilities as well as actively involved in extra activities and trainings that will work to advance you and grow you in the long run. Air conditioning contractors should work to engage in activities such as sales training, service excellence training, company meetings where sales, leads, and retention are discussed; as well as volunteer for jobs that challenge and grow our skills in the our field or industry. When we embrace these types of opportunities we are taking an active role in growing and developing our own success, we are showing ourselves our level of career commitment, as well as showing our leaders our loyalty and interest in the industry.
…Being in-the-moment yet also actively setting goals and plans for the future-
Along with attending and showing interest in activities that grow us in the field, it is also important to focus on achieving success in the moment while still maintaining the ability to set goals for the future at an appropriate time. This means that when we are working with a client or doing a diagnosis at a new job, we should be fully in that moment and working to achieve success at that particular job. These small successes add up to create our growing success in the independent air conditioning contracting world. While it is so important to focus on success in the moment, it is also important to make time to sit down and create challenging yet realistic goals centered around our career as well as detailed plans for maneuvering successfully into the future.
…Finding mentors, leaders, and encouragers that can help to ensure that you are propelling yourself in the right direction-
While our personal success ultimate lies in our own hard work, it is never a bad idea to actively seek out mentors, leaders, and encouragers that can help us along the way. These types of influential people can help us grow and work smarter by sharing their mistakes, shortcomings, advancements, and successes as well as sharing their mental strategies that can help us stay positive and focused during our journey. Learning from mentors is a way to boost confidence and feel like you are not alone in your different stages of growth. It is such an awesome accomplishment and aid when we have sought out and found leaders, encouragers, teachers, and mentors that want to invest their knowledge and time into our journey.
When we understand that success comes from a consistent history of hard work then we can get our minds prepared for positive development and growth in the direction of attainment. In our post today, we talked about three important ways that we can work hard: attending activities that work to grow us, focusing on daily successes as well as life goals, and finding mentors that can guide us along our journey.
Here at S.E.T., we love working with independent air conditioning contractors to help grow success within their company so feel free to give us a contact us to discuss you companies Sales and Service Needs.
Thank you for following our weekly post. Here at Service Excellence Training, we turn learning into earning!

Over 80% of last year's films had at least one if not many attached to the film attend the festival. The interactive setting makes for a unique film going experience.

Kissing Game
Teams of two are formed, made up of a married couple or an individual and his significant other. One member of the couple wears lipstick. This is usually the female, but for a twist, the male can wear lipstick. The organizer of the game rings a bell and runs a timer for 60 seconds. Teams compete to see how many times the team member wearing lipstick can kiss the other member on the cheek. After 60 seconds, the number of lip marks on the other player's cheek are counted. The team with the most kisses wins.
The Paper Dance GAme
In this game, each couple is given a piece of paper, usually at least 5 feet by 5 feet to start. Couples dance together for two minutes and must avoid stepping off the paper. A couple who steps off the paper is eliminated. Every two minutes the paper is folded in half and another two-minute dance begins. The last couple remaining is the winner. After about two or three folds of the paper, couples will have to dance very close together and get creative to keep all four feet from going off the paper. If a couples stop moving for more than 15 seconds, they are eliminated.
Merry Tailor
This is a game for two or more teams. Teams should be composed of at least six players. One player is chosen to be the tailor. That person is given a small wooden stick with a ball of string attached to it. The goal is for the tailor to connect each of his teammates. When connecting a male team member, the string must go up one pant leg and down the other. For connecting female team members, the string must go in one shirt sleeve and out the other. To avoid awkward situations, teams should be formed of players who know one another and are comfortable with the rules. Of course, it can be more interesting if the players are strangers.

Motivational Power Quote
Asking Questions Builds Rapport
"Asking questions will get you
the performance you are after
far better than dictating demands."
Dan James
As I see it. . . . . . . .
Asking question builds rapport
Asking questions give you insight to the person that your speaking and makes the person feel important.
Asking questions is a sign of respect and showing sincere interest in the person that we are speaking with.
In response to asking questions we form a relationship with the person and build rapport.
Rapport opens the door for continuous exchange of information and communication.
When we make demands of people often this can shut off open and honest communication with the other person and they may feel threatened, angry, or both. From that point forward communications, relationships, and negotiations breakdown.
Making demands can also jeopardize a relationship and close the door on future opportunities.
As we continue to ask questions we gather information. When that information is properly utilized we are seen as a problem solver.
As a problem solver, we help the other person and we gain momentum that continuously moves us in the direction of our goals and objectives.
Asking questions builds rapport and increases our performance and places us in a win - win situation.

If Young House Love says it's ok…
Yesterday my pal's John and Sherry (aka Young House Love) gave fake plants their seal of approval—and lucky for me, they included my flowers in on that list!
I am a big fan of fake plants too—no surprise there! I have a few large pieces from Ikea that I think look great and don't collect dust that badly. The one is in my studio, and it looks as good today as it did 4 or 5 years ago when I brought it home.
I have plans to add some plants to the site soon (!!!) but the large-scale pieces would be hard for me to offer. So this is the one time I'm actually supporting silk.
Check out Young House Love's post for some really great picks (I'm pretty sure that fiddle leaf fig tree will be making an appearance around here someday soon!). And be sure to stay up to date with their podcast so you're always on trend and in the loop!
Thanks again for all of the love and support, J & S!

Gerber-Bots, Act Now!!!
When personal flower delivery just won't do, you need one of Wrylon Robotic's patented, galaxy-famous, 97.4% reliable, sleep-free, ever-vigilant, quantum-averse, family-friendly, largely-safe, appropriately-sentient, water & fertilizer-full Gerber-Bots.
Look kids, we know that love is hard. Maybe you're on one side of the Oort cloud & your sweetie's on the other. Maybe you're trapped in a time well on Syslon IV. What if the one who's stolen your heart has, in fact, been kidnapped by asteroid pirates? What if, even when you're wrapped up in the seven arms (and 13 breasts) of a Pleasure Ambassador from planet Whyrlax, you want to let the supernova of your soul know how much she (or he) means to you?
Well my friend, then you need a Gerber-Bot.
Our custom-built models can be configured for deep space, ice planets, acid seas, you name it! A discerning eye may notice that our featured models carry one flower only. Why? Are we stingy? Isn't it sweeter, if you're reaching out over hundreds of light years through intergalactic vacuums, to send a dozen? Two dozen? A google dozen? No. In fact it's just the opposite. Extensive research has shown that economies of scale are detrimental to true love. The fact that you'd spend millions of spacebucks (our services are not for the frugal of heart or wallet) to send just one flower, one delicate, freshly-picked blossom to your beloved will melt his or her heart faster than a Class 3 red giant melts a hunk of frozen, liquified hydrogen.
Act now! Prove your love! Account specialists are standing by.

BSP solar lights give school good backup
Bank South Pacific in Lae has handed over a K30,000 solar lighting project to Nawai Lutheran High School in Nawaeb.
The solar lights are installed at the library, the main administration building, the mess hall, ablution blocks and girls' dormitory.
BSP project coordinator Lionel Kamiak said the bank valued the importance of delivering
services to the schools and communities which needed them. They chose the school because it has not had a good source of electricity since its establishment in 2004.
Solar power will kick in when the school's generator fails.
Lae Market BSP branch manager Josephine Komoru said the bank's community project initiative started in 2009.
"For this year, BSP wants to help with putting up lights for remote schools," she said.
Headmaster Gobuta Kosieng said the solar lights would help the school which had been having problems with its old power generator.
Buang High School in Bulolo has also had solar lights provided.
BSP staff in Bulolo delivered and installed solar lights for the remote high school as a community project.
