Platform will simplify workflows and expand use of TaqMan® assays for a wide range of genotyping applications
SOURCE: Applied Biosystems and BioTrove, Inc.
FOSTER CITY, Calif. and WOBURN, Mass. – November 12, 2007 – Applied Biosystems (NYSE: ABI), an Applera Corporation business, today announced that it has signed a licensing and collaboration agreement with BioTrove, Inc. to commercialize an analysis platform for high-throughput genotyping applications. Applied Biosystems will develop and market custom-built arrays of TaqMan® SNP Genotyping Assays pre-loaded on BioTrove's OpenArray™ platform. This platform will integrate the ease-of-use, accuracy, and reproducibility of Applied Biosystems' TaqMan SNP Genotyping Assays with BioTrove's flexible high-density assay format, enabling researchers to rapidly perform high-throughput genotyping studies at a lower total cost compared to alternative commercially available methods.
Under terms of the agreement, Applied Biosystems retains the rights to commercialize all genotyping applications, including assays other than ones based on TaqMan technology, for BioTrove's platform. Applied Biosystems plans to commercialize and service all components of this analysis platform during the second half of 2008. Applied Biosystems is also retaining an option to collaborate with BioTrove, Inc. for developing and commercializing the OpenArray platform for high-throughput gene expression applications.
In a separate agreement, Applied Biosystems has granted a worldwide license under patent rights related to
real-time thermal cyclers, microfluidics, and data analysis to BioTrove, Inc. Under the agreement, BioTrove will have the right to manufacture and sell real-time thermal cyclers and array sample loaders in the life-sciences research field, as well as to develop further real-time PCR applications for its OpenArray platform. Financial terms of the agreements were not disclosed.
Overall, this collaboration is expected to expand the potential uses of TaqMan technology across a wide range of genomic applications. The genotyping platform provides an extremely fast, high-throughput screening and validation tool for researchers in agricultural, pharmaceutical, and other commercial industries, as well as academic institutions. Examples of studies that should benefit from the use of this platform include those that associate genotypes with: complex diseases, varied responses of individuals to different treatments for disease, measurable traits for quality control in agricultural studies, and the identity of different pathogens in biosecurity applications.
When pre-loaded with TaqMan SNP Genotyping Assays, BioTrove's OpenArray platform enables researchers to perform genotyping studies that investigate tens to hundreds of single base changes, or SNPs (single nucleotide polymorphisms) across hundreds to thousands of samples. This scale of genotyping study is often performed as part of breeding and quality control processes in the agricultural industry. In these applications, researchers investigate how SNPs from multiple genes contribute to measurable traits. These SNPs are then used as genetic markers for quality control testing, tracking, or selective breeding of crops and livestock. Alternatively, large-scale disease association studies can involve over 10,000 to 20,000 samples and also require high sample throughput technology to ensure efficient genotyping across candidate SNPs.
Researchers using this integrated platform can experience an end-to-end genotyping workflow of less than four hours, enabling them to analyze thousands of samples in days in contrast to weeks on alternative genotyping platforms. As the OpenArray platform consumes less reagent per assay (33 nl per reaction) than current alternative commercially available offerings, applications can be performed in a more cost-effective manner.
"We believe that customers in industries such as health care, food, and agriculture will benefit from a cost-effective, flexible genotyping solution that combines Applied Biosystems' gold-standard TaqMan assay products with BioTrove's flexible high-throughput OpenArray platform," said Peter Dansky, president for Applied Biosystems' molecular and cell biology consumables business. "This collaboration will provide researchers and commercial organizations with a validation and screening tool that has the potential to dramatically improve genotyping workflows critical to the success of their enterprise."
The razor-thin BioTrove OpenArray consumable device has a flexible array format that enables researchers to perform more than 3,000 different high-throughput genotyping assays in a variety of different configurations. For example, using one OpenArray slide, researchers can genotype as many as 144 samples, and interrogate 16 SNPs per sample, or, in a single sample, interrogate as many as 3,072 SNPs.
The OpenArray platform will provide researchers with customized arrays of TaqMan SNP Genotyping Assays from a single source, simplifying their workflow for performing a variety of high-throughput genotyping applications. Researchers will be able to select assays from Applied Biosystems' comprehensive line of more than 4.5 million individual pre-designed TaqMan® SNP Genotyping Assays, Custom TaqMan® SNP Genotyping Assays, or TaqMan® DME Genotyping Assays for detecting polymorphisms in the drug metabolism enzyme genes. Once customers receive their assays pre-loaded on BioTrove's OpenArray™ consumable devices, they will then use an automated sample loader to introduce their DNA samples into the arrays. After a short processing time, the OpenArray slides are read by the accompanying software to determine sample genotype.
"The strength of the product design resulting from this collaboration provides researchers in public and private industries with the speed, flexibility, and cost-effectiveness of the BioTrove OpenArray platform and the specificity and reproducibility of Applied Biosystems' comprehensive line of TaqMan assay products – all in a single solution," said Al Luderer, Ph.D., president and CEO of BioTrove, Inc. "By streamlining researchers' genotyping workflows, we are accelerating the discovery and utilization of science impacting public health—from healthier foods to better health care."
Applied Biosystems is a global leader in the development and commercialization of instrument-based systems, consumables, software, and services for the life-science market. Applied Biosystems has pre-designed more than 700,000 TaqMan® Gene Expression Assays and more than 4.5 million TaqMan® SNP Genotyping Assays. Complementing these off-the-shelf products are custom TaqMan® assays, which are available for customer-specific gene expression or genotyping targets, and TaqMan DME Genotyping Assays.

Plan Review Services
We are committed to a 30 day turnaround
on major projects.
- Why is Plan Checking Necessary?
Plan checking is the detailed review of construction drawings submitted by an applicant, to ensure that all applicable building codes are complied with in order to ensure the health and safety of the occupants and the general public.
- When is Plan Checking Necessary?
When construction is proposed, plans are usually required to be submitted. This could range from a simple partition wall or trellis, to a complete multi-story building. Minor projects such as roofing, HVAC, and minor electrical work do not require plans. The length of time for plan checking is commensurate with the complexity of the plans and proposed construciton. Thus, whenever plans are required to be submitted, plan checking will also be required.
- Plan Check Requirements:
The first step, before doing anything else, is to check with the Planning Department to determine if any special reviews are required for your project. The approximate plan review turnaround time can be determined upon submittal.
The following must be submitted at the time of filing:
*All drawings, structural, and energy calculations are to be wet stamped and signed by the
responsible discipline or record, architect and/or engineer. In addition, each drawing must be
drawn to scale and contain the owner's name, address and phone number.

The summer solstice brings long sunny days and short warm nights throughout the United Kingdom. On Shetland located at 60 degrees north the sky never really gets dark in the summer and warmth is all relative.
The island of Unst sees just 4 hours and 50 minutes of civil twilight, the part of the day when you know darkness is on its way. Night time creeps ever closer until the sky is dark. In the far north the nights are different, the sun is rising before darkness is able to take a hold.
Midsummer is a time for celebration on the islands. Norse pagan's celebrated the light and power of the sun and Baldur the God of light during this time. It was also traditionally the start of the herring fishing season known as Johnsmas with Dutch fishermen known to be arriving as early as the 15th century to await the 24th June when they could begin to catch these small fish. This was a time of partying as the islands population swelled with the new visitors. Even today the summer solstice is celebrated with a carnival spirit at the Johnsmas Foe in Lerwick.
When the weather is clear, the simmer dim brings a lingering glow to the sky before a new day bursts into life. The birds appear content in their lives. The frantic last and first feeding of the day isn't needed, in just four hours real daylight will return and they can continue with their lives.

Review: Why Fiverr is awful+ my bad experience as freelancer
About one and a half year ago I joined Fiverr providing cheap services, mainly writing restaurant reviews for websites that provide them. I stumbled upon the platform with hopes that these "gigs" can enrich my experience and portfolio. After considerable time, my efforts fall short of my goals. This coupled with the disappointment with my experience had made me telling my acquaintances to think twice about joining.
This article shares my bad experience as freelance editor on Fiverr, and I hope it shines some light on Fiverr's not-very-well-thought-out mechanisms.
Note: if you are new to Fiverr, it is a platform for lean entrepreneurs and freelancers to seek extra income, and consumers who intend to save up on costs. Their services span to almost every category one can imagine, but the most popular ones are related to design, voice-overs, video editing etc.
1) Denied for no reason
My grudge with Fiverr begins when they have deleted my gig, without any forms of notice. According to the two emails they sent me (written in a quite unreasonable tone), I am banned for writing paid-for reviews and infringing intellectual property rights. I have been providing genuine reviews for a foreign foodie website, based on the restaurants I have been to on personal occasions, and the content is purely on my experience. I took every picture I posted on their website, and never copied from an external source. Evidently, Fiverr has never looked into the matter appropriately before denying a gig.
2) Automatic replies and lack of intention to help
Their reply was anything but sincere. They sounded as if they have copied and pasted the words for every seller that complained. Fiverr has yet to convince me that they have conducted a "thorough review"- I would love to know the items their integrity team looks at before approving/ denying a gig, and more importantly, a specific explanation to why my gig is rejected for "mistakes" I never committed.
3) Poor evaluation systems
I don't see the logic of removing badges from less-active sellers: not everyone is making a living relying totally on Fiverr, a lot of users see Fiverr as an extra source of income. Instead of sending harsh emails and penalizing "under performing" users, Fiverr would better off improving its loyalty schemes and user experience.
4) Fees incurred in almost every transaction done on Fiverr
Fiverr is notorious for charging sellers a staggering 20% commission based on the sales proceeds. I would not like to raise the debate on whether subscription or commission model works better for Fiverr; but all I know, is taking 20% off from proceeds could discourage sellers and leave them no choice but to raise their prices. Comparing with other sites, 20% is a pretty big fee.
Fiverr also encourages their users to both buy and sell on their platform; each user has a wallet that documents earnings and expenditure. In case customers buy services with their own money instead of that accumulated in their accounts in Fiverr, $1 is charged per transaction. Also, a fee is charged whenever money is withdrawn to Paypal or bank accounts. As you could see there are limited ways to get paid.
With that being said, many find Fiverr useful as it is indeed a large (and friendly) community of people doing things they love. The website is easy to navigate and use, and the communication tool is fair. Fiverr could be a great stepping stone on the path to transitioning from working nine-to-five to becoming your own boss, but for me, its poor customer service is a huge put-off that made me stop using Fiverr for the time being.

Refugee Festival proves to be a real celebration of talent
Bristol's first Refugee Festival was held as Lockleaze's brand new Sports Centre opened its doors to the public for the first time on June 16th.
The event was organised by local social housing provider United Communities and their spokesperson Aletia Shaw says, "Bristol Refugee Festival is a month-long programme of arts, cultural and educational events that brings together communities to celebrate the contribution refugees make to the city. United Communities are delighted to have supported a day full of fun & celebration at the new Lockleaze Sports Centre, shining a light on Lockleaze as the diverse community that we know and love & uniting people from across the city.
"The focus of Bristol Refugee Festival 2018 was Celebration, Information & Integration, so we invited a host of talented individuals from the local area and city-wide to share their skills, knowledge and stories with us. On the day, people were able to enjoy a range of performance, food, and a football tournament, along with being some of the first people using the new Sport Centre function rooms. The performance kicked off with some drumming, followed by inspiring poetry by talented young people from Bristol collective 'Lyrically Justified'. To get people on their feet & thinking about their health & wellbeing, local resident Grace Ekyll led an African dance workshop.
"Another key aim of our event was to welcome everyone and make sure people could leave with useful information to support successful integration. We were pleased to see information stalls from a range of organisations, signposting people support, advice & wellbeing services, including the charity Bristol Refugee Rights who support refugees & asylum seekers in the city through their weekly drop in. To help everyone understand why people seek sanctuary in the first place, and what the asylum process is like in the UK, we heard from a member of Bristol Refugee Rights who kindly shared their experiences with us. It was an educational experience for all and was a great way to encourage open dialogue and help overcome misconceptions about refugees.
We would like to say a big thank you to everyone who attended, performed, participated, shared, and a huge thank you to the Sports Centre and Bristol Rovers Community Trust for supporting us in making this a great event. If anyone has any follow-up comments or suggestions for improvement, feel free to email email@example.com"

Q: How I Configure
Dial-up PPP?
A: This information is mainly for people who do not
have a wrapper utility like kppp or pppconfig,
or are not able to get those utilities to work correctly. If
you need to manually configure PPP to dial in to your ISP, you
will need the following information:
When you have all of this information, make sure that the
programs pppd and chat, at the very minimum, are
installed correctly. In most current distributions, they are
installed in the /usr/sbin/ directory, and you will
need to be logged in as root to use them. In addition, the following
programs are also useful for configuring network connections,
determining network status, and diagnosing problems: /sbin/ifconfig,
/sbin/route, /bin/ping, /usr/sbin/traceroute.
These are the basic steps that you need to follow to configure
PPP. You must be logged in as root.
order hosts,bind
nameserver 184.108.40.206
nameserver 188.8.131.52
The nameserver addresses in the example above are examples
only. They don't correspond to actual network hosts. The first
line, order hosts,bind, tells your networking software,
when it resolves network domain addresses, to first look in the
/etc/hosts file, and then use the bind service; i.e.,
the DNS servers, which are specified on the lines that begin
with nameserver.
"" ATDT<your_isp's_phone_number>
ogin <your_user_name>
word <your_password>
This is a chat program for a simple, script based login.
The chat program uses the pair of strings on each line
as a match/response pair. When it starts, it sends the string
"ATDTyour_isp's_phone_number," where you have
substituted the actual phone number of course. It then waits
for the string ogin (a substring of the word login)
and sends your user name. It then waits for word (a
substring of password) and sends your password. If your
ISP uses a different login and password prompts, and any additional
prompts, you will need to edit the script accordingly. Again,
refer to the chat manual page for details.
If your ISP uses PAP or CHAP authentication, you will need
to edit the pap-secrets or chap-secrets files
in /etc/ppp directory as well. Refer to the manual pages
for these files, as well as the instruction in the files themselves.
Here is a sample /etc/ppp/options file:
# ---<End of File>---
The options may be given on one line or each on a separate
line. Many options files are much longer, and come with a description
of each option. Here, the options mean, in order, don't remap
any characters between the PPP client and server; always use
password, PAP, or CHAP authentication when making a connection;
use the modem's hardware handshake lines for flow control; lock
the serial port when in use so no other programs can access it;
and do not use the IPX network protocol.
connect "/usr/sbin/chat -v -f /etc/chatscripts/provider"
There might be an explanation of these and other options in
the /etc/ppp/peers/provider file itself. You can also
refer to the pppd manual page for details. Briefly, they
mean: do not use PAP authentication for this connection; use
the chat program and the /etc/chatscripts/provider
script, which is described above, to dial the phone and log in;
set the network default route to the PPP connection (so when
your network software needs to resolve an network address that
is not on your local machine(s), it will use the PPP connection
to the Internet); use /dev/ttyS1 as the serial port
for the connection; set the modem speed to 38400; and keep the
pppd daemon running even if the connection fails.
That is all of the configuration you need. To actually start
and stop PPP, there are often /usr/bin/pon and /usr/bin/poff
scripts (in Debian), or something similar, and they are usually
very simple, and only contain the command:
$ /usr/sbin/pppd call ${1:-provider}
This will start pppd and use the call option
to call the server that you type on the command line, or the
provider given in the /etc/ppp/peers/provider file if
you do not specify a remote server. After making the call and
logging in (about 30 seconds), you should be able to use the
/sbin/ifconfig program to determine that the connection
really did establish a PPP interface (the first will be ppp0,
the second will be ppp1, etc., depending on how many
simultaneous PPP connections you have. If something goes wrong,
you can look at the /var/log/ppp.log file to determine
what happened. You can also view the log as the connection is
being made, by "tailing" it in another window; that
is, viewing it as pppd logs the connection's status information.
To do this, use the command (again, as root):
$ tail -f /var/log/ppp.log
On some systems the PPP output is directed to /var/log/messages,
in which case your system may not have a dedicated PPP log file.
You should be also able to ping one of your ISP's domain
names (e.g., mail.isp.com) and receive a response.
These are the most basic steps for configuring a PPP connection.
You will also need to take into account what other network connections
may be present (for example, if there's an Ethernet connection
that has already been assigned the default route), as well as
various security measures at your ISP's end. If you're having
trouble making the dial-up connection, usually the best way to
determine what may be going wrong is to use Seyon, minicomm,
kermit, or some other program to dial and log in manually to
the ISP, and determine just exactly what you have to do to log
in, then duplicate that in the PPP scripts.
Most Linux documentation also has additional instructions
for configuring PPP connections.

Are the Linux FTP Archives? and Where
Is the Documentation?.
Q: How Do I Use Linux
with a Cable Modem?
A: The www.CablemodemInfo.com and xDSL Web page at
has a section devoted to Linux.
See also the Cable-Modem-HOWTO at the LDP.
Q: Where
Is Information about NFS Compatibility?
A: See the NFS-HOWTO for up to date information.
A: This information is partly taken from Nicolai Langfeldt's
excellent NFS HOWTO, and is current as of 10/1/1999:
Most version 2.2.x kernels need a set of patches to install
the knfsd subsystem, maintained by H.J. Lu, to communicate
efficiently (if at all) with Sparc, IBM RS, and Alpha machines,
and probably others. This package is actually a collection of
patches to the kernel sources. Better support for non-Intel architectures
is included in the 2.4 kernels.
There is also a user-space server. Although it lacks remote
file locking, it is easier to install. It may be equally efficient.
In the Documentation/Changes of recent kernel distributions,
there is a list of URL's for both the knfsd server and
the user-space server.
In the case of older Solaris releases, the lack of statd
or lockd on a client or server machine may cause incompatibility.
On some versions of Solaris, statd can be used to exploit
features of the automounter. Sun released a patch to correct
this, but statd still needs to be started by root on
such systems. On recent Solaris systems, refer to the information
in /etc/dfs/dfstab and the share(1M) manual
page to enable volume sharing. In addition, the rpcinfo
program can tell you if statd or lockd are
available on the local or remote machines.
The linux-kernel mailing list has on-and-off discussions
of the status of the NFS subsystem, which appears to be changing
[Nicolai Langfeldt, Robert Kiesling, Anders Hammarquist]
Q: What Does VFS Stand For?
A: Virtual File System. It's the abstraction
layer between the user and real file systems like ext2,
Minix and MS-DOS. Among other things, its job is
to flush the read buffer when it detects a disk change on the
floppy disk drive.
VFS: Disk change detected on device 2/0
Q: Can
Linux Access SMB File Systems?
A: Linux supports read/write access of Windows for
Workgroups and Windows NT SMB volumes. See the file Documentation/filesystems/smbfs.txt
of the Linux kernel source distribution, and How
To Upgrade/Recompile a Kernel.
There is also a suite of programs called Samba which provide
support for WfW networked file systems (provided they're for
TCP/IP). Information is available in the README file
at metalab.unc.edu/pub/Linux/system/network/samba/.
The SMB Web site is http://www.samba.org,
and there is also a Web site at samba.anu.edu.au/samba/.

Here's an insane negotiation technique, courtesy of Zynga.
In the middle of buyout talks, a senior Zynga executive threw cash into a founder's face as part of the deal, according to a report by the New York Times.
Here's what happened:
In the spring of 2009, Zynga was courting MyMiniLife, a game company that later developed the underlying technology for FarmVille and many of Zynga's games. During one meeting, the topic turned to compensation. A Zynga senior vice president, clad in jeans and leather cowboy boots, whipped out his wallet and a stack of hundred-dollar bills. He chucked the money at a MyMiniLife founder and asked him if that was enough, said one person present at the meeting.
MyMiniLife eventually took the deal, but a lead project manager eventually took off after the stress of the company pushed him. The team eventually demanded a new project manager and threatened to walk out if they didn't get one, and Zynga provided one for them.

According to a troubling story in yesterday's Charlotte Observer, Teach For America Charlotte is "holding a forum on making 'hypersegregated' schools successful."
On Dec. 15, two national speakers will discuss ways they've seen schools thrive without significant numbers of white or middle-class students. The free forum is part of its "New Reality Speaker Series," focusing on poverty and academic success in Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools. The first, on CMS history, was held in October.
This month's panelists are David Johns, executive director of the White House Initiative on Educational Excellence for African Americans, and Terrell Hill, an administrator with Windsor Public Schools in Connecticut.
It is important to consider this forum in the context of Charlotte Mecklenburg Schools. Since the end of district integration efforts in 2002, CMS has emerged as the most segregated school district in the state. The "dissimilarity index" is a commonly used measure of school segregation. It tells you how many students would need to change school assignment in order to achieve racially balanced schools. For CMS, 55% of students would need to be re-assigned in order to have racially balanced schools. As a point of comparison, 30% of students would need to be re-assigned to achieve racial balance in Wake County Public Schools.
Racially and economically-balanced school systems have a number of academic and social benefits. Nationally, integrated schools are associated with higher tests scores, fewer dropouts, a higher college-going rate, and smaller achievement gaps. Integrated schools reduce bias by improving cross-racial and cross-cultural understanding. Forthcoming, yet presently unpublished, research from the North Carolina Justice Center has found that integrated school districts in North Carolina have higher test scores, and graduation rates, and lower rates of school suspension. Additionally, integrated districts tend to spend more local money on their schools. These findings are consistent with past research into CMS's patterns of segregation, which clearly found that "desegregated learning environments are superior to segregated ones."
The impacts of segregation have been acutely visible in Charlotte. According to a Harvard/UC Berkeley study, Charlotte ranked last the nation in terms of upward economic mobility, and the city was roiled by protests and violence in the wake of the police shooting of Keith Lamont Scott.
District leaders are currently trying to reduce the number of high-poverty schools through a new magnet lottery system. Their efforts have been met with no small amount of controversy and push-back from parents, despite evidence that school integration doesn't hurt the performance of white students.
Given this context, it is incredibly troubling that Teach For America is hosting this forum. Of course, everyone wants all schools to be successful regardless of how segregated they are. But a forum designed to show that hypersegregated schools can, on rare occasions, beat the odds to become successful will almost certainly be used to promote school segregation and make the goal of an integrated CMS more difficult.

By Karen McAulay
One of many earliest documented Scottish music creditors truly to head 'into the sphere' to assemble his specimens, was once the Highlander Joseph Macdonald. Macdonald emigrated in 1760 - contemporaneously with the beginning of James Macpherson's well-known yet a lot disputed Ossian venture - and it fell to the Revd. Patrick Macdonald to complete and therefore post his more youthful brother's assortment. Karen McAulay strains the advanced heritage of Scottish track accumulating, and the e-book of significant Highland and Lowland collections, over the consequent one hundred thirty years.Looking at assets, authenticity, amassing method and structure, McAulay locations those collections of their cultural context and lines hyperlinks with modern attitudes in the direction of such wide-ranging issues because the embryonic tourism and go back and forth undefined; cultural nationalism; fakery and forgery; literary and musical creativity; and the stream from antiquarianism and dilettantism in the direction of an more and more scholarly and didactic tone within the mid-to-late Victorian collections. awareness is given to a couple of the functionality concerns raised, both in correspondence or within the paratexts of released collections; and the narrative is interlaced with references to modern literary, social or even political historical past because it affected the creditors themselves. most importantly, this research demonstrates a resurgence of cultural nationalism within the past due 19th century.

Guest Post: Increasing the "Voice" of Brain Injury across Nebraska
As you know, individuals of all ages across the state experience a brain injury including TBI, concussions, strokes, anoxia, aneurysms, infections and more are still too often, unseen, unheard and definitely underserved. The individuals that BIA-NE is currently working with through Resource Facilitation are only a fraction of the total number of our huge, growing diverse population living with long-term effects of an injury to the brain.
Guest Blog: The Impact Alzheimer's Disease has on the African American Population
During Black History Month, I'd like to recognize the impact Alzheimer's disease has on the African American population. According to the Alzheimer's Association, there are currently more than 5 million Americans living with the disease, and it's the sixth-leading cause of death in the U.S. It is also disproportionately impacting the African American community, as older African Americans are twice as likely as older white Americans to develop the disease.

Pricing: Setting a Minimum
It is SO VERY TEMPTING when you're a freelancer to take whatever job someone wants to give you or to start up a new client for a very small project.
SOMEBODY WANTS TO PAAAAAYYYYYYY MEEEEEEE! (Oprah voice.)
At the beginning that's cool because you gotta have jobs. I have spent TEN. LONG. YEARS moving the needle on my price gauge.
Over the past couple of months I've been really analyzing my pricing with help from someone who has been doing all of this far longer than I have and who has an amazing grasp on human psychology as it relates to pricing and selling.
Something he has pushed me toward is re-evaluating my minimum price to start work.
What that is and what somebody gets for that price will differ depending on what you do.
Here's what I'm thinking about and what you can think about:
What is the minimum amount of time/effort that you KNOW you need to spend with someone to deliver something that will be useful, move their business forward, and have a positive impact on them? What will make you feel good about the product and service you're delivering?
Chances are that type of delivery corresponds to a minimum amount of work. "Unless I can spend XX amount of time, which costs XXX much, I can't dive as deeply into the project and the circumstances to produce a result we're all happy with."
That minimum could be $200 or $2,000. It's up to you and your business.
Spend some time thinking about projects that went really well and projects that left you (and possibly the client) unfulfilled. Were they quick smash and dash jobs?
Figure out your numbers—the amount of time and the money the corresponds to the time—and use that as your starting point when seeking new work. Make sure you know how to explain why that's your number.
"In order for me to give you the results that you are looking for, I require a minimum of a 5 hour commitment."
What's your number?

text: April 8 is Aries. Aries is located in the first sign of the zodiac, east of Pisces and west of Taurus.. Aries is just like a child, forthright, enthusiastic, impulsive, self-centered and childish.. Aries people are more nervous, informal, they will not pursue too much for details, if Aries is asked to do something that needs to be researched repeatedly, he may turn against you.. They are usually full of decisiveness, do not know POPOMAMA, do not pay attention to details and have no patience.. In addition, Aries is still a tempestuous person with a foul face if he doesn't agree with you, but after only three minutes they will forget their previous unhappiness and sail the boat of friendship with you again.. Aries always writes everything on her face so that others can easily master your emotions.. You always have a momentum in doing things, giving people a positive sense of progress. this feeling can also infect others unconsciously. when you see your vitality and sunshine, everyone will be full of energy.. Aries for their thoughts, the brain hasn't finished reaction, the body has rushed out, execution is full of firepower. For Aries, it is better to do it once for a thousand times. How can you know your limits without trying?. Aries people can be summed up in one sentence as hot-tempered hot-blooded talent. They are frank, frank, generous, impulsive and careless. Completion is the only choice for their established goals. Aries people do not give themselves other choices and have strong determination and perseverance.. Aries people are more nervous, informal, they will not go too far for details. Aries' mouth is not controlled by the brain, but only by emotions. It is often over the mouth addiction, and falling out is so easy.. The other active flour is rash, impulsive, hot in three minutes, and easy to get into trouble.. His anger and anger are all written on his face. His impatience and hot temper are also easy to offend others and become the weakness of the other party's attack.. Not being considerate in speaking and doing things, careless in paying attention to details and often self-centered, it will leave a negative impression of low EQ..

Deaf Church
We decided to go to our local Deaf Church this evening. BB has been around Deaf people at our home church, but they have not been coming lately. We have all missed being around Deaf people so we decided as a family to start going to Deaf Church Sunday nights when we are able. We were welcomed warmly. BB was naturally the center of attention. The Deaf people thought that her signing was so cute. She was unusually timid, but I expect that after a few weeks and getting used to a church full of Deaf people (compared to our huge hearing church with just a few Deaf people) she will sign to them as much as she signs to me at home.

A Father's Wise Instruction
1 Hear, O sons, a father's instruction, and be attentive, that you may gain insight,
2for I give you good precepts; do not forsake my teaching.
3When I was a son with my father, tender, the only one in the sight of my mother,
4he taught me and said to me, "Let your heart hold fast my words; keep my commandments, and live.
5 Get wisdom; get insight; do not forget, and do not turn away from the words of my mouth.
6Do not forsake her, and she will keep you; love her, and she will guard you.
7 The beginning of wisdom is this: Get wisdom, and whatever you get, get insight.
8Prize her highly, and she will exalt you; she will honor you if you embrace her.
9She will place on your head a graceful garland; she will bestow on you a beautiful crown."
10 Hear, my son, and accept my words, that the years of your life may be many.
11I have taught you the way of wisdom; I have led you in the paths of uprightness.
12When you walk, your step will not be hampered, and if you run, you will not stumble.
13 Keep hold of instruction; do not let go; guard her, for she is your life.
14 Do not enter the path of the wicked, and do not walk in the way of the evil.
15Avoid it; do not go on it; turn away from it and pass on.
16For they cannot sleep unless they have done wrong; they are robbed of sleep unless they have made someone stumble.
17For they eat the bread of wickedness and drink the wine of violence.
18But the path of the righteous is like the light of dawn, which shines brighter and brighter until full day.
19 The way of the wicked is like deep darkness; they do not know over what they stumble.
20 My son, be attentive to my words; incline your ear to my sayings.
21 Let them not escape from your sight; keep them within your heart.
22For they are life to those who find them, and healing to all their flesh.
23Keep your heart with all vigilance, for from it flow the springs of life.
24Put away from you crooked speech, and put devious talk far from you.
25 Let your eyes look directly forward, and your gaze be straight before you.
26 Ponder the path of your feet; then all your ways will be sure.
27 Do not swerve to the right or to the left; turn your foot away from evil.
When talking about Proverbs 4 the first thing I have to start with is the title of this chapter. The title speaks to the importance of this text and it also adds an amazing story to the significance of it as well. For many of us we know that King Solomon wrote Proverbs and so we also know that his father was King David. For me just knowing that fact makes this chapter all the more important. I myself am 28 years old and I have gained a lot of wisdom but many of the lessons and the wisdom have came from my father. So as we see Solomon speaking in this chapter from the perspective of a father it has to be in the back of our minds that he is probably speaking out of the some of the things his own father taught him. In verse 3 we see where Solomon speaks to the fact that his own father has taught him what he is writing. In verses 4-9 we actually see where Solomon is quoting his father David. When I re-read this chapter and thought of how God is my father and applied this as His instructions it spoke so true to my spirit as well as my heart.
The second thing in Proverbs 4 that stood out to me was the word "heart". In 28 years I have sat in many classrooms and have always been taught that wisdom is a thing of the mind. In Proverbs 4 we see that wisdom is not considered to be a characteristic of the mind but rather the heart. The thought that I would like to introduce is that maybe the wisdom that Solomon speaks of isn't a wisdom we can retain in our minds but rather only in our hearts. Solomon states, "20 My son, be attentive to my words; incline your ear to my sayings. 21Let them not escape from your sight; keep them within your heart. 22For they are life to those who find them, and healing to all their flesh. 23Keep your heart with all vigilance, for from it flow the springs of life." Solomon speaks to his son saying that the heart is the place in which wisdom is kept and through it comes healing to all flesh. My first thought for us in today's society is that only when we allow Christ in our hearts do we gain true wisdom. In allowing Christ in our hearts we allow healing to take place in all of our flesh and His words are able to bring forth life. I am not in any way a Bible scholar but I know that God speaks to me just as He did Solomon and if I take the instructions of my Father than I must keep His words within my heart for they will flow springs of life and produce healing in my flesh.
The third thing that really spoke to me in this chapter is the word "her". I recently got married in November and so when I read this chapter and imagined the "her" as my wife it gave me clarity about the way she should and needs to be treated. Solomon writes in such a poetic way that when he spoke of wisdom I sensed he spoke of something that he held dear to his own heart. In verses 6 and 8 Solomon said, "Do not forsake her, and she will keep you; love her, and she will guard you.8Prize her highly, and she will exalt you; she will honor you if you embrace her. I know that Solomon speaks of wisdom but I also know that God is speaking to Solomon about the wisdom of the heart. In the matters of the heart there is no greater thing than having respect for the one who you hold dearest to your own heart. This may even be a stretch for some to take as what this Scripture meant but for me personally it speaks to the importance of holding my wife dear to me. If I replaced the words it would say, "Do not forsake Stacey, and Stacey will keep you, love Stacey, and Stacey will guard you. Prize Stacey highly, and Stacey will exalt you, Stacey will honor you if you embrace her. I know that I have only been married for 6 months but I know based on the wisdom in my heart through the words of my father and His instruction that I must not forsake my wife and love her and prize her highly and more than anything embrace her for who she is. This chapter was in no way mistakenly titled and it can have such an impact on our lives if we allow it to.
I have to honestly say that I have never actually read most of Proverbs but I just became a fan. In this one chapter not only have I seen the importance of a father's instructions in his child's life but also my Heavenly Father's in my life. I do not believe in chance and so I know that my Father planned on my reading this chapter of Proverbs at this exact time in my life and I am beyond thankful. This chapter has challenged me to better my marriage as well as be thankful for the lessons my father taught me.
My name is William Joseph Hancock but everyone just calls me Joe. I am 28 years old and I currently live in Winston Salem, NC with my wife Stacey. There honestly isn't much about me to know except that I love to read, love sports and love the beach. I recently enrolled in Liberty University where I will finish my B.S. in Religion and then I hope to get my Masters of Divinity and also a Master's in Family and Marriage. I honestly just want to love God and be a man like David, one after God's heart.

When you decide to buy a house in Las Vegas, you open up a wide-range of choices in front of you. One of the first choices you have to decide upon is the location you want your home to be in. You can choose to buy property at a walking distance from the Las Vegas strip, near the natural conservation area, in the Henderson area or live close to the Red Rock Canyon. Another important consideration is whether you are looking to buy an existing home or want to move into a home that is newly constructed. Buying a house in Las Vegas is a better choice than renting, the amount you pay towards the mortgage payments are cheaper than the cost of renting a home at the same location.
Choose Between Home Options
You have several buying options to choose from, you can buy a new home from a builder or build a home right from scratch and make it match your vision of your dream home. You can also buy a home that was foreclosed, is bank owned or was sold through the short sale option. Before you set out looking at houses you can buy, decide upon the size of the house you want to buy. Are you looking for a spacious 3 bedroom house, a house with two bedrooms or is it a two bedroom condo that meets your requirement? Take all points into account before making your choice.
The Location of the House
The location of the house impacts the quality of life you will enjoy once you move into your home. Consider these factors before you pick a location for your home.
Check Out the Surrounding
Easy access to the facilities that are essential to your life style determine how comfortable living in your home will be for you. Determine whether restaurants, schools, parks and shopping malls are close by if these factors play a central role in your daily life.
Know You Financing Options
Explore the financing options to get a clear idea about the budget for the house you are planning to buy. Having a pre-approved loan gets you that much closer to sealing the deal more quickly. A good credit score improves your chances of getting your mortgage loan pre-approved. Ideally speaking, a score of 640 will get your mortgage loan approved. With a score that is higher than this you can easily access the best rates. A good credit score can possibly get you an owner-occupied home at an interest rate that is lower than 5%. If you are an investor or a 2nd home buyer with good credit, the interest rate you are likely to pay is at a little over 5%.
There are financing options available even if a property you owned was sold through a short sale or was foreclosed recently. In this case, a down payment of around 20% and an interest rate of around 10% is what you can expect to pay. You can choose to refinance the loan after a few years.
Add Up the Additional Costs
Certain additional costs may be involved when buying a house in Las Vegas. The fees differ according to the community or the subdivision the house is in. Local property taxes and homeowners association's fees may apply, in addition to your monthly mortgage payments, insurance and home maintenance fees.
Choose Us as Your Experienced Real Estate Agents - Contact me now if you are interested in buying a home. (702-217-2254)
The agent you pick can help make the whole process of buying a house that much smoother for you. Make sure that you have an agent who is well-informed about the local market and has loads of experience. An agent can help you every step of the way, right from viewing the properties that are right for you to helping you with the closing of the sale. The points to keep in mind while choosing the real estate agent are:
- The agent discusses your house requirements and your preferred locations in detail.
- Must know about the properties on sale in the location you are interested in. Identifies multiple properties that match your requirements.
- If required, introduces you to experienced loan officers.
- Negotiates with the seller, their agent or the builder on your behalf.
- Prepares and submits offers on your behalf. Also, gives you an accurate estimate of the cost of settlement.
- Helps out with the paper work associated with the purchase.
- Constantly keeps you undated regarding the status of the transaction while in escrow. Keeps you informed until the closing goes through.
Get the House You Want!
Every house that is put up on sale receives multiple offers. If you make an offer that matches the list price or one that is lower than the listed price, you risk losing out on a house you are really keen on buying. To ensure that your offer gets serious consideration, make an offer that is hard to resist for the seller. Offer a price that is higher than the list price or, if possible, offer to pay cash. Other factors that tilt the balance in your favor include not asking the seller to pay for repairs, the closing costs or a home warranty.

"The Story" is an opportunity to experience the Bible in its chronological order. The Living Springs family is reading The Story together during the week, and our Sunday messages will help us process and apply what we've been reading. If you are in a group or family that is studying The Story together, you can use the questions below to spark discussion.
Chapter 6: Wandering
Based on Numbers 10–14, 20, 21, 25, and 27; and Deuteronomy 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 9, 29, 30, 31, 32, and 34:
- Wilderness wanderings
- God sends quail and manna
- Spies are sent to Canaan
- Aaron dies
- The Israelites camp in the plains of Moab
Breaking the ice
What are some travel frustrations you've experienced? Traffic? Airport delays? Unexpected costs? Annoying travel partners? Baggage?
Digging in
God's plan was to deliver His people from the culture of slavery in Egypt, and to restore them as His people in the bountiful land He had promised to them. In spite of His faithful provision and protection, the people complained and doubted. They rejected the land God promised them, and instead wandered in the wilderness for 40 years.
- Who do you relate to in this chapter—Moses, or the people of Israel? Why?
- Who do you relate to in the story of the 10 spies—Joshua and Caleb, or the other 8? Why?
- Take a look at the story of Moses' disobedience on page 78–79. God says He is punishing Moses "because you did not trust me." Do you think this lack of trust comes through in what Moses did or what Moses said?
- In his final message to the people of Israel (starting on page 84), Moses charged them with teaching their children everything that God had done for them. Why is this important? How are you carrying out this responsibility? Does this instruction apply only to parents of young children?
If you have done any complaining this week, ask forgiveness. Then spend some time thanking God for blessings that you've taken for granted. And pray for an opportunity to talk about those blessings with someone else, just as a way of keeping God's story alive.
For next week…
Chapter 7: The Battle Begins
Based on Joshua 1, 2, 6, 8, 10, 11, 23, and 24:
- Joshua is appointed leader
- The Israelites enter Canaan
- Conquest of Canaan
- Joshua dies

Not much time to post today but this is the recently finished quilt top for my dear friend who's FINALLY getting married in March! So excited for her! She is loving yellow and gray right now. Do you ever make something and wonder if it will stand the test of time and fashion? Don't get me wrong, I like the yellow and gray. I just wonder if someday it will remind me of rust and avocado green from the 70s!
Below is a Final Finish. I've made six quilts for my friend at school out of her great grandmother's box of quilt squares. This is by far the largest and most involved but also the most lovely. I think it's interesting that during the course of making this quilt top, my friend's great grandmother got a sewing machine. Much of it is hand stitched but then it changes to machine stitched. I felt like I was working on a piece of the history of the industrial revolution and how it eventually trickled down to the homemaker! Finally done with the vintage quilt sewing! Check that huge project off the list!
And this is my Farmer's Wife Sampler quilt at 47 blocks. I'm almost half way done! Forgive the yuck photo! I can't seem to find time for photos until it's already dark outside and the absence of natural light doesn't make for the best picture!
