A Winnipeg company wants to build a fish-processing plant near St. Laurent that would create more than 100 new jobs and help revive the commercial fishing industry on Lake Manitoba.
Although the proposal by CDF Community Development First has been in the planning and discussion stages for years, it has taken on new life with the recent election of a new provincial government.
The Progressive Conservatives promised during the election campaign that if elected, they would allow commercial fishermen to sell their catch to buyers other than the Freshwater Fish Marketing Corp. (FFMC). Under the current federal single-desk marketing system, the FFMC buys, processes, markets and exports most of the fish caught in the province.
CDF chief marketing officer Terry Szydlik said the firm has already sent an information package to Cathy Cox, the province's new minister of sustainable development. Now it's waiting to hear if the Pallister government will seek federal approval for Manitoba to opt out of the single-desk system.
"We're just basically waiting for that to happen," Szydlik said, adding the company has a business plan, has financing lined up, has selected a site, and has the support of the Rural Municipality of St. Laurent and the Lake Manitoba Commercial Fishermen Association

In this episode, MC and HM discuss the subtle art of teasing. Not the ham-fisted, over-the-top hazing we see all too often.
The guys also discuss our new President, heretofore referred to as "Donny J" (you're welcome), and his predilection for tweeting out incredibly amusing statements.
Members of the Three Disciplines are notorious for their collective sense of humor, but there's definitely a way to make a joke…there's also a way to take a joke.
It's a subtle art, friends. The bottom line is simply this:

Yikes, it's Monday January 11th already and I've not posted since Friday. Sorry sorry sorry!
All I can plead is that I'm up to my ears in edits and rewrites of two different stories while running into Toronto on Saturday along with the usual family routines.
On the writing front, things have really been heating up for me professionally. I wish I could tell you some of the things that have been happening–but I can't. Not yet. Hopefully soon. Yeah yeah, I can hear you mumble. Why bother saying anything then? Because I'm squeeing privately and I'm pretty sure my neighbors can hear me. However, I can report that the western menage is this close *holds fingers a millimeter apart* to being finished. I'm really looking forward to being able to say it's completed. Chad's story? Well, it's not going quite as fast, but I have high hopes for it. It's really coming together nicely.
One thing I can share–I got recognized on Saturday and got asked for my autograph. *giggling madly* That was a first, and truly made my day.
Oh, and in case you're checking about the recent winners, I heard from Spav — Elisabeth Naughton's book is on its way to her. And Estella's chosen a copy of my book, Personal Protection. (I haven't forgotten you, Estella, I've just been bogged down. I'll send it to you this evening.)
Bella Andre is guest blogging on Wednesday. Bella writes a very hot hot firefighters series for Pocket books – Wild Heat, Hot as Sin, as well as writing for Ellora's Cave.
As a special guest, on Friday JK Coi will be returning to talk about something she did when she was younger that she can only look back at and shake her head. Yes, JK is having a contest for her latest Ellora's Cave release, so make sure you come back and share your own *face/palm* moments with her then.

Nightmare Before Christmas Halloween Makeup
Watching the Nightmare Before Christmas is basically a right of passage for me every year since the film was first released when I was about 5 years old. It was love at first watch for me; I had all the Nightmare Before Christmas merchandise including a Zero plush and various t-shirts to prove it. So, around this time in October (sometimes before – like in July or September LOL), I always break out my Nightmare Before Christmas on blu-ray and enjoy some Danny Elfman musical madness with the artistic styling and story prowess of Tim Burton. Who doesn't love a little Halloweentown, Jack and Sally romance, and crazy Oogie Boogie, am I right? So, because I'm such a huge fan of the film, I really wanted to create a fun makeup look for Sally!
Sally Halloween Makeup Look
I'm sure I'm not the only girl who obsessed over Sally for years. She's still an incredibly popular Halloween costume, even now, and I'd been wanting to do a makeup look for ages and ages. I actually dressed up as Sally when I was a junior in high school, though I think my makeup skills have improved a lot since then. I'm pretty sure my makeup for that costume was normal makeup with a few stitches done in eyeliner all over my face and neck LOL.
For this particular look, I used a lot of different products, but here are the main products I used to give you an idea on how you can use what you have on hand to recreate this look for your Halloween costume this year or maybe for your kids if they want to be Sally this October 31st 😉
Some of the products used are green beauty options while others are not natural at all so just keep that in mind. I don't think it's a big deal if you use costume makeup once a year that's not 100% green, but if you would prefer a non-toxic Halloween makeup option, the one from Elegant Minerals on Etsy is good!
- Alima Pure loose eye shadow in Thunder mixed with MAC Cosmetics Acyrlic Paint in White to create the lilac/blue base for Sally's skin color and the purple on the shirt I painted on (with the swirls) which I made slightly darker. Both of these products were LE so you won't be able to find Thunder anymore, but you can use any dark purple eye shadow that you have on hand mixed with a white cream pigment. You can probably still purchase MAC Cosmetics Acrylic Paint pots on Ebay, but they're ridiculously expensive. That said, they last ages and work really well. Alternatively, you can find cheaper options from Graftobian and Mehron. I also used the AP in Thunder by itself to shape and fill in my eyebrows since they're too dark to cover up without latex or wax (things I didn't have on hand).
- I used Living Nature Mascara (100% natural and organic mascara) in Black for my lashes
- Nudus Lip Euphoria in Revenge (a true blue red color that's 100% natural and organic!) – applied with a brush
- Living Nature Eyeliner in Midnight – tight lined my eyes and bottom lashes
- Jane Iredale Gel Pot Eyeliner in Purple ( 100% natural and organic gel eyeliner!) – I used it for all of my stitches which I layered white around to make them have more dimension.
- Mehron Paradise Paint Basics Palette (provided by Mehron Makeup – thank you!) – I used the black and white colors to go over lines and stuff for this look and finish it up
- Mehron Celebre HD Contour Palette – I used a medium brown color for the right side of
- I got the red wig from Savers Thrift Store ♥
I really love how this look turned out! I am more impressed with special FX makeup artists now than ever because drawing on costumes (like I did with the shirt) and giving depth to stitches is a lot harder than it looks! That said, this was a lot of fun to create and the end result is really cool! I tried to give my Sally makeup look a more punky effect instead of being totally true to Sally in the film because I wanted it to be more wearable and cute so I hope you like it 🙂

Two doctors sued in man's death
A Fort Hunter woman is suing two Saint Mary's-based physicians, claiming their negligence is responsible for the death of her husband.
Andrew Renda died in January 2011 at the age of 66 after two weeks of hospitalization. As administrator of his estate, Barbara Renda brought a suit against Drs. Ronald R. Marsh and Emily Etzkorn, who were responsible for his care.
Renda refused comment Monday, but alleged in her complaint that, "The extensive injuries, suffering and death [of Andrew Renda] were caused solely by the violation of [Marsh and Etzkorn's] duties toward the plaintiff."
On Dec. 15, 2010, Andrew went to Saint Mary's in Amsterdam for medical attention. Etzkorn, a doctor of internal medicine, and Marsh, a surgeon, said a cholecystectomy, the removal of Andrew's gallbladder, was necessary. However, because of his condition, the procedure was delayed.
A few days later, his abdominal pain got worse, and a CT scan found a duodenal perforation, a life-threatening condition associated with blunt-force trauma to the stomach.
The doctors could not treat the condition because of Andrew's chronic renal failure, congestive heart failure and a blood infection called sepsis.
"While under the care of the defendant physicians," the complaint alleged, "Andrew Renda's condition continued to deteriorate."
Two days before Christmas, he was transferred to Ellis Hospital in Schenectady, where an infected abscess in his abdomen was drained. On Jan. 1, he passed away "as a result of the advanced sepsis resulting in multisystem organ failure," according to the complaint.
The lawsuit was not expressly clear on what the two doctors should have done differently during the process, but charged that Andrew Renda's injuries and eventual death were a direct result of their negligence.
Saint Mary's Director of Community Relations Jerri Cortese explained the hospital was not included in the lawsuit because both Marsh and Etzkorn are independent physicians, owning their own practices but operating within the Saint Mary's facility.
"Malpractice suits are handled by attorneys privately," she said, adding that those in the medical profession generally hold malpractice insurance to pay for such lawsuits.
Marsh and Etzkorn could not be reached for comment Monday, nor could Renda's attorney, Peter Moschetti. According to the complaint, Moschetti and his client are looking for a "substantial monetary judgment against the defendant physicians."

Yes, 100%. Except for the base of the lamp which is carved out of wood, usually neem wood, the remainder of the lamp is all salt. Experienced artisans carve large blocks of rock salt into shapes that mimic the overall structure of the Himalayan Mountains. The base of the lamp is wooden and has a holder for the clear light bulb with a cable running through the side. The wire has a plug that has to be inserted into the electrical point.
The crystals used for making Himalayan Salt lamps are meticulously tested to ensure that they have the right color and opacity to allow for the maximum penetration of light. The perfect crystals are hand carved to have an orifice in the center that holds the bulb and a variety of external shapes. Most Himalayan salt lamps that we offer are crafted to have a triangular shape, tapering and tall with a wide base. The look is natural and undoubtedly more aesthetically pleasing. Plus, in terms of geometry, the unique shape will blend with all type of interior decor.Click Here to Visit Our Store

Importance of Driving Schools
Driving a car or a vehicle is one of the more important privileges in life. The reason for this stems from the fact that being able to drive gives you a special freedom which you can't get with other things. However, due to the fact that more and more drivers are entering traffic every day, your driving skills do matter as the concept of traffic is getting more complex every day. In order to become a good driver, you will need to understand the fundamentals of driving, the significance of each traffic signal, rules for the right of way etc. and you will also need to have a practical knowledge of driving as well too.
All of these would require you to learn driving properly and to achieve that one of your most important tools would be driving schools. There are many driving schools Melbourne that you can go to, which can help you to learn the above mentioned skills. When you go to a driving school, the first thing that you will learn will be the theory of driving. In a driving school Melbourne, you will be able to get the necessary skills and you will learn the fundamentals of traffic rules and the right of way rules. You will also be able to watch interactive tutorials and videos on driving, so that you will understand these fundamental knowledge by heart. Once you have mastered the theory of driving, you will be given driving lessons Melbourne, so that you can learn the practical way of driving a car.
Of course, you may know how to drive a car by theory, but being behind the steering wheel is a different concept, as you will have to practice as much as you can in order to become proficient in driving. Naturally, in driving schools after your driving lessons are completed, you will be given various exams to test your skills in order to make sure that you have gained the theoretical competency, as well as the practical competency that is required in driving. Naturally, you will have to choose the best driving school that meets your expectations in the best way possible for you to learn the driving skills. Moreover, the best way to learn driving would be to practice as many times as you can, so that you will be able to become a competent driver.

NYC Moving Tips
1. Make a Moving list.
Whether moving from an apartment in New York City to a brownstone in Brooklyn, or a condo in Manhattan to a house in LA to keep your move organized, write everything down! You'll thank yourself later. Before you pack even one box, create a simple record keeping system. The easiest way is to use your computer and print out a moving list of numbered with a space to write the contents of each room of your NY Apartment. If you do not have a computer available, a spiral-bound notebook will do the job just fine. It's easy to put a number on EVERY box of your contents moving list as you pack. Keep one spot in your NY apartment as "moving central". If you now to always look for your moving packing list in this spot, it will never get lost! In your Moving Central spot is where you will keep all your moving and packing supplies such as your moving labels, moving box marking pens, moving box tape, moving boxes and all of your other moving supplies other supplies. When you mark your moving box contents, always be certain to be specific –"Files types/names" is better than "files", and "breakable kitchen dishes" is better than "misc. kitchen".
2. Have plenty of moving boxes and moving supplies.
Remember, you'll need lots of moving boxes –almost always more moving boxes than you think you will ever use. Having enough moving boxes on hand will make your life easier! You can buy all sizes of moving boxes and moving supplies for your NYC move directly form Ben Hur Moving and Storage Company, any unused moving boxes can be returned to Ben Hur Moving Company for a refund. It is always a good idea to have at least 10 moving boxes set aside to use for last minute items on moving day, such as bedding, clothing, and cleaning supplies. You also should have a good supply of a few rolls of strong packing tape to close up all of those moving boxes securely. Do not use newsprint as it can stain your items, use unprinted newsprint, packing paper or bubble wrap to wrap (all available from Ben Hur Moving Company) and be certain to cushion household goods and carefully wrap any breakables in moving paper and bubble wrap. Remember, you'll need lots more moving supplies than you think, so always have extra moving boxes and moving supplies to assure your move and packing go smoothly. Return any unused moving supplies after the truck is completely packed.
3. Utilize Moving wardrobe boxes, moving clothing any other way is not advised.
These tall Moving Wardrobe boxes are perfect way for moving your clothing form your New York apartment, from bulky clothing items to, lightweight items such as comforters, pillows, and blankets and any clothing that should remain hanging for your move. Call Ben Hur Moving or go to the moving supplies section of our website moving supplies or phone one of our NYC moving experts to ask enquire about the width of the wardrobe moving boxes to best fit your moving needs. Measure your clothes in each one of your closets, don't forget your coat closets, and you will be able to quickly figure out how many Moving wardrobe boxes you'll need. Wardrobe boxes are also great for packing other NYC Apartment items such as closet storage boxes, shoe boxes, and other bulky items such as fabric bolts, large baskets, or gift wrap tubes, comforters etc. Hint: Do not make the boxes so heavy that you or the movers cannot lift them.
4. Wardrobe moving box strategy.
Ben Hur Moving company will be happy to deliver any of your NYC moving boxes ahead of your moving day It is always a good idea a few days before your move the contents of your NY apartment or condo to fill some sturdy handled shopping bags with bulky closet items such as shoes, sweaters, belts, and jeans. On moving day, fill the bottom of the wardrobe moving boxes with some of the shopping bags, then add your hanging clothing. Be certain to pack your hanging items tightly so things won't move around and fall off of hangers while in the wardrobe box. Hint: To keep your clothing dust-free during your move, it is always a good idea to cover the shoulders of your clothes (a dry cleaning bag works well. Those shopping bags on the bottom of your wardrobe boxes will also make it easier to retrieve your belongings from the bottoms of tall moving boxes.
5. Color coordinate your NYC move.
Designate a color for each room in the new apartment or home you are moving to, such as green for kitchen, blue for dining room, red for the bedroom etc. Either use colored markers on each box or simply apply colored sticker (and tape over with clear movers packing tape) to box near the box number. In your new home, put a matching sticker or color marked sign on each room's door. This will allow our movers to know exactly and easily where to put each moving box when they arrive at the destination. It's also recommended that you post a big sign on the wall of each room where you would like your moving boxes stacked, ("Moving Boxes go here, please").
6. Keep your moving boxes and other items you are moving together.
By keeping things together you are moving, then, no matter who is packing, you or the Ben Hur movers can easily pack up all your items into the correct moving boxes. Keeping like items together will also help when unboxing at your final destination, keep books together with bookends, and extension cords with appliances they plug into. Use moving tape and plastic Baggies or envelopes to keep all those small, loose parts or screws. Remember, you have to unpack and reassemble all these items wherever you move to, so keep picture hooks with pictures, shelves and shelf brackets together with the bookcase they came from, include any special tools and bolts and wall unit bolts. Keep larger items and pieces along with any screws together with corresponding items (such as a cable TV cord) in a sealable plastic bag, and tape these with movers tape to the underside or back of the item.
7. Pack for your move ahead of time.
Moving is time consuming and can be emotional. The more you can pack ahead of time, the less you will need to do on the actual moving day. Pack "seasonally. If you are moving in the winter, first pack your summer items into boxes then you can unpack these last. Keep one television and one radio available; pack the others up in advance of your move. Use a "travel kit" for the last week or so and pack up all those bathroom items you do not use on a daily basis, remember to color code each box you pack so that the moving company knows which room to put each moving box when it arrived to your new residence. Same holds true for pots, pans and utensils, you do not need much and hey, why not take the move as an opportunity to explore a few new places you always wanted to try for dinner before you move. You do not need more than one trashcan or wastebasket; they also make great places to put your odd sized moving items into.
8. Consolidate cleaning supplies, do you really need to move them too?
Most places you are leaving call for you to clean the apartment before you move out, use supplies you have that are partially full, create a moving out kit of basic cleaning supplies and rags. Clean anything possible before the and whenever you can, vacuum each room as movers empty it into the moving truck. Any cleaning supplies that are more than half empty are probably not worth the move; throw them away after you clean out your old apartment.
9. Use your luggage for your move; hey they are designed for packing, right?
Fill any luggage you are going to move, put clothing and soft items such as towels and bedding into any duffle bags. Keep clothing you need to get to quickly in the suitcases, it will be easy to spot and remember when the movers unload the moving truck into your new home. Doesn't matter if it is a long Distance Move or a Local move you'll quickly be able to hone in on your suitcase while that moving box with the outfit you were going to wear for work might take days to find.
10. Safeguard and prepare valued items you are going to move.
If possible, keep your valuable items and possessions, like silverware, collectables, breakables and antiques, with you. If you are doing a long distance move and no room in your car, be sure to check your homeowner's insurance at new you are moving to and the old place you are moving from to check and verify your coverage during the move Ben Hur Moving Company also offers additional moving insurance. Make certain that you at least personally carry all paperwork (receipts, appraisals, videos and photos); you will not want to pack these in a box for the move.
11. Move these yourself! Keep all personal and important papers with you.
Before the move, make copies of ALL your important papers. Make sure that the copies are packed in one place, while the originals are always with you. Important papers include but are not limited to, might include: school records, passports, birth certificates, closing papers for the home you are moving to, mover estimates, new location job contacts, the utility company numbers for both where you are moving from and to your new home you are moving to, account numbers and bank records, current bills, phone lists, realtor info, maps to your home you are moving to, and more. Don't leave these to the responsibility of moving company or mover. Keep them with you at all times!
12. Personal boxes, makes the move much easier for each individual family member.
Use a bright or pastel colored storage boxe, one for each member of the household. Let everyone fill their own colored box with the items they want right away after the move. Its that can go in each moving box vary form person to person and may include such things bedding, an extension cord, phone, nightlight and flashlight, address book, writing instruments a small pad, keys, tissues, bath towels a travel kit, everyone has different needs, but no mater yours, once you move, you will be very glad you have your own moving tote box.
13. Once you arrive at your new apartment or home Re-Key all locks.
You'll have piece of mind. Moving into an existing NYC apartment means other people may have keys! You just do not know if there are any other keys to the apartment or home you are moving into. It is an expense that will provide safety and piece of mind.
14. Closet Systems, after all, you need somewhere organized to put all those items you moved with you .
Having all the items you moved from you old place into you new home well organized and having a proper space will make your move worthwhile and make you feel at home as quickly as possible after the move. If at all possible, do not wait till you move to have your closet organizers installed. Whether you are handy and want to try and tackle it yourselves or you hire a professional closet organization company install it for you, you will be very happy you did, one less headache after that bing NYC move!

- Customers – They look into the accounting information to see whether the company future is bright or not because when the customer buy a product he or she wants after sales services also and if a company goes out of business or bankrupt then there is no way that customer can get after sales service and the product which the customer has purchased is of no use if it gets damaged.

The cost of existing common stock, or retained earnings, is one of four possible direct sources of capital for the business firm. The others are debt capital, preferred stock, and new common stock. The weighted average cost of these sources of capital makes up the weighted average cost of capital for the company with only a few exceptions. The calculations for debt capital and the cost of new common stock are relatively straightforward. Only the cost of retained earnings is a bit more complex.

What Are Retained Earnings?

Retained earnings, used as a part of the capital structure of a business firm, are the part of the earnings available to common shareholders not paid out as dividends or the earnings plowed back into the firm for growth. As such, their cost to the firm is an opportunity cost. In other words, they could have paid the money out as dividends to the shareholders of the firm but chose instead to put it back into the firm for growth and use it as part of their capital structure.

Calculating Retained Earnings

How do you calculate the cost of retained earnings for a company? It is more difficult to estimate the cost of retained earnings or common stock than it is the cost of debt or the cost of preferred stock. Debt and preferred stock are contractual obligations and have easily determined costs. Retained earnings are different though there are good methods to use to approximate their costs. Business owners or financial analysts generally use three methods to calculate the costs of retained earnings and then average the results to come up with the answer. Here are the three methods used to calculate the cost of retained earnings:

1. Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) Method

When an investor buys a stock, that investor expects to receive two types of return from that stock - dividends and capital gains. Dividends are the return firms pay out to their investors quarterly and capital gains, usually the preferred return for most investors, are the difference between what an investor pays for the stock and what they can sell the stock for.

You now have the three variables that you need for the discounted cash flow method of calculating the cost of retained earnings - price of the stock, the dividend paid by the stock, and the capital gain paid by the stock. Of these three, the capital gains, also called the growth rate of the dividends, is the most difficult to measure. We measure the capital gains rate in an earlier article.

The discounted cash flow model for measuring the cost of retained earnings is:

Return on Stock = D1/P0 + g = ____ % = Cost of Retained Earnings

where: D1 is the dividend paid in the first quarter

P0 is the price of the stock

g is the growth rate of the stock (capital gains rate)

2. Capital Asset Pricing Model Method

The Capital Asset Pricing Model is a simple financial model that measures the required rate of return on a stock. It can be used to measure the cost of common stock or retained earnings.

The first step is to estimate the risk-free rate currently in the economy.

The second step is to estimate the return on the market. Choose a proxy for the market such as the Wilshire 5000 or the Standard and Poor's 500.

The third step is to estimate the stock's beta. Beta is a measure of risk with the beta of the market being 1.0. You can find the beta of many stocks from beta books or you can calculate beta as we did in a previous article.

If you have gone through steps 1 through 3, you have all the information you need to calculate the Capital Asset Pricing Model.

Here is the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM):

Required Return on Stock = Risk-free rate + Beta (Market Rate of Return - Risk-free Rate)

3. Bond Yield Plus Risk Premium Approach

The bond yield plus risk premium approach to calculating the cost of retained earnings is a simple method of estimating the cost off the cuff. The business owner or financial manager simply takes the interest rate on the firm's bonds and adds a risk premium of usually 3 to 5 percent to the bond interest rate, based on their judgment of their firm's riskiness.

After calculating the cost of retained earnings using all three methods, average your three answers and the average is used as the cost when calculating the weighted average cost of capital.

We have all heard of natural remedies, handed down from generation to generation, providing healthful remedies and also preventative health maintenance from the ancient East to our American cowboy. Now with scientific research, medication is screening as well as investigating the power of herbs and also finding that there simply may be something to the idea that natural herbs do greater than look quite, scent good, or make yummy spices as well as teas.
For as long as male has actually been illing, aged, or even imbibed way too much, we have been searching for a remedy for our ills. Regularly, before formal medicine as we understand it today, natural herbs played a significant duty in assisting our ills and calming our pains. Natural herbs have actually played a prominent role in almost every culture to extend life, heal the unwell, or even prevent health issues. During The Middle Ages, numerous natural herbs, including garlic, were utilized to fend off devils, vampires, as well as The Plague. Science can offer some proof demonstrating the use of garlic to potentially ward off The Plague.
Lately, natural herbs have taken pleasure in renewal in popularity. As the majority of us have actually ended up being a lot more wellness aware, we have actually recognized the drawbacks to relying exclusively on anti-biotic solutions to treat the flu, common colds, and the majority of fundamental health problems. We have started to look even more seriously at older treatments that have actually been around for centuries for treatments for everything from the common cold to joint inflammation. Modern scientific research and also medication are now placing numerous of those supposed cures to the test, examining every little thing from wound healing poultices to anxiety solutions.
At the Department of Basic Research at the Cancer Facility in Columbia, , this research study has actually been taken to a brand-new level. Not only are they examining whether natural remedies might work, they are also taking a look at concerns associated with security, dosages, as well as the feasible communications natural herbs might have with conventional medication prescribeds.
Along with their performance, scientists are seeking to see if herbs possess some perk over and above allopathic medication. They likewise are wanting to see if organic "solutions" permit people to regulate their medicinal choices and hence possess much more control over their selections of treatment as well as solution. Utilise herbs, both in remedies as well as in dietary supplements, has increased many concerns.
Are organic treatments safe? Can a herbal remedy be violated to the point of obsession or inefficacy? Most significantly, do they communicate with pharmaceutical medicines, and if they do, is the communication favorable or unfavorable?
The very best instance of why study is needed concerns the effectiveness and communication arising from the regular use of St. John's Wort. St. John's Wort is a mild herbal antidepressant which is well-tolerated by several patients. While efficient, it has actually been verified to have an impact on some usual medicines.
For example, St. John's Wort could cause the CYP3A family of activation enzymes whereby about 50 % of medications are metabolized. This type of interaction could produce a risk by lowering the half life of such drugs as Indinavir, Cyclosporin and Cyclophosphamide, thus triggering these drugs to less reliable Interactions such as this, nonetheless, are not all adverse.
In some cases, natural products could create a pathway that duplicates drugs, but do not have any sort of unfavorable negative effects. As an example, a number of natural anti-inflammatory compounds found in herbs like environment-friendly tea, turmeric, rosemary, feverfew, as well as others do not have the danger that some nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID) are intended to have. Natural remedies may ease the reliance on these sorts of pharmaceuticals, and hence minimize the possibility of creating numerous sorts of cancers cells.

It's been said that toll bridges have the ideal business model and it's easy to see why—customers have to pay what's asked of them or go around the long way. How can you improve on that? Well, the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX) and the Sydney Futures Exchange (SFE) are making a decent fist of trying. For starters, there isn't much in the way of 'another way around'.

LCCH Press Releases
17 Aug 2010 A post-graduate qualification in clinical hypnotherapy that the public can trust (PDF)
The first graduates of the Post-graduate Certificate in Clinical Hypnotherapy pave the way for quality assurance for hypnotherapy patients. The general public has been justifiably concerned for many years as to what constitutes a valid qualification in hypnotherapy. In the absence of statutory regulation many courses that range from a single day to a couple of years have been giving qualifications that purportedly allow a person to practice hypnotherapy. The London College of Clinical Hypnosis (LCCH) is in a collaborative partnership with University of West London (UWL) offering a recognised post-graduate programme in Clinical Hypnotherapy, which can lead to a full Masters degree....

The Red Sox got things started by ending the Yankees' 11-year reign atop the American League East and winning the World Series for the second time in four years. The Patriots scored the most points in NFL history and became the first team to run the table in a 16-game regular season. And the Celtics executed the biggest single-season turnaround in NBA history, capping it off with their first championship in 22 years.
The 2007-08 Boston sports calendar year was so remarkable, in fact, that we've had to expand it to 14 months to include all the highlights.
April 5, 2007 Red Sox fans get their first look at $103M acquisition Daisuke Matsuzaka as he makes his big-league debut in the rubber game of a three-game season-opening series in Kansas City. The result: 7IP, 6H, 1ER, 1BB, 10K and one very auspicious win for 2007.
January 12, 2008 Tom Brady sets an accuracy record by going 26-for-28 for 266 yards and three touchdowns as the Patriots beat the Jaguars, 31-20, to advance to the AFC Championship Game.
January 20, 2008 Laurence Maroney rambles for 122 yards and a touchdown as the Patriots overcome Brady's three interceptions to advance to the Super Bowl with a gritty 21-12 victory over the Chargers.
February 3, 2008 Brady hits Moss for their final TD hookup of the season to give New England a 14-10 lead with 2:42 to play in the Super Bowl. But Eli Manning and David Tyree pull off the Greatest Play in Super Bowl History and Plaxico Burress scores the championship-winner with 35 seconds left, thwarting the Pats' run at perfection.
March 18, 2008 The Celtics end the Rockets' 22-game winning streak by blowing them out by 20, 94-74, in Houston. Tracy McGrady is held to eight points in the loss on 4-of-11 shooting and would remark that the Celtics defense was the best he'd seen.
June 17, 2008 In the biggest blowout in a clinching game in NBA history, the Celtics dismantle the Lakers, 131-92 to win the title. Garnett has 26 points and 14 rebounds. Allen scores 26 points, ties a Finals record with seven 3-pointers in one game and sets a Finals record with 22 treys in the series. Finals MVP Pierce finishes with 17 points and 10 assists. Rondo has 21 points, eight assists, seven rebounds and six steals.
The Celtics held their parade on Thursday. The Red Sox are in first place. Now if only those Patriots could get it figured out, the fans in Boston could really celebrate.

Chinese Girls Knifing Themselves
August 31 2006 (05:27:00) US/Pacific
Another reason why this world and its people are so hard to fathom or admire:
Really, there's nothing hard to understand about this. The world is superficial, commercialistic, materialistic, and agressively racing toward emptiness.
There's no way around it. The US is even worse. This is all we're left with.
A pretty face will allow you to stare at a screen, sing karaoke with businessmen, drive a compact vehicle, shop at the mall, have an expensive wedding, etc.
Saw your link on Brett's blog. What's most interesting is the way race is the purple elephant in this article. Most of these procedures, double eye-lid, higher nose, etc. are based on Western (or rather White)standards of beauty. Are these women really saying that to get married and earn more money at a better job in China it's important to look more Western? What does this say about Chinese nationalism? Just a thought or two.
Posted by J from the Granite Studio on 09/01/2006 10:11:06 AM
absolutely. Of course they wouldn't mention that. The world is still trying to be Western in so many ways.

The Apple Orchard – Pingguoyuan
August 20 2006 (13:11:00) US/Pacific
Check out Pingguoyuan!
First, put on Beethoven's Sixth Symphony, because it starts playing the instant you get off the subway at the Pingguoyuan stop on Beijing Subway. Then open a bottle of wine, because it flows eternally in the apple orchard.
It is the furthest west stop on Line One. If you want to enter a world of relaxation, cool winds, and lovely apple blossoms, you must make the trek out there. I had traveled in the direction of Pingguoyuan on line one so many times, but never suspected that it was more than just a name. I never knew that it offered an idyllic retreat from the gray city. A pastoral landscape replete with prancing fawns, babbling brooks, and complementary goblets of imported wine is a short subway ride away for all those tired of the crowds of the city and the headaches of corporate life. Stop pushing paper and email around and leave your cellphone at home for the day.
You will be surprised, shocked into a hallucinatory state. The subway doors open, the sweat of the day evaporates from your armpits, the old women, beggars, men in polyester who pressed their chests to you in the subway vanish, the air cools. Grass and weeds grow in the corners of the subway platform. There are no advertisements. The procession of perfect models and enrapturing grins stops. There is no litter. Food does not come in plastic in Pingguoyuan. Outside the station, the pollution has cleared and the sky is blue. The skyscrapers and sickly purple/gray haze are in the distance. Viewed from the one spot in Beijing municipality liberated from smog, the city looks like it is continuously under a storm, reminiscent of the headquarters of the evil side in some fantasy story.
The local government in Pingguoyuan implemented progressive policies banning skyscrapers, automobiles, and even concrete. Residents live in tents made of ox hide or little outdoor pavilions. There are no water shortages in Pingguoyuan. Water comes from the streams flowing between so many of the apple trees. The water is fresh and pure. There are no steel and chemicals factories upstream. There is no aftertaste of heavy metals or phosphates. Unlimited fish and other seafood swim in these streams, which pleases Chinese visitors to no end. They are all there for the taking. There is also a no-fly zone over Pingguoyuan, which cuts down on noise.
One characteristic of Pingguoyuan makes it very similar to other places in China. I have already alluded to this. All the apple trees have speakers attached to them, playing Beethoven's Sixth Symphony. The daily routine of the human and animal residents is choreographed to the symphony. Every time the third movement comes, a fat bhoddisatva even arrives to pour wine in everyone's goblet. Actually the speakers stop at the third movement and are replaced by a complete orchestra. Then, all of the apple picking ceases momentarily, and the visitors and locals all gather at appointed locations by the streams to exchange stories of the morning's adventures. Conversations on grasshoppers, plum blossoms, and birds are the norm. Some more off-color topics come up frequently. Jokes center on flatulence, torpidity, and drunkenness. Two subjects are forbidden: business and money. Minds are cleared here. This is not the place for workaholic businessmen. They can go to the karaoke parlors or get a massage. This is where people who know how to enjoy the profits the businessmen generate come to create and revel in purity. Massage occurs here, but it is freely given with only the best intentions.
All guests must change clothing upon exiting the subway station. Playboy shirts, crocodile belts, plastic heels and nylon trousers are exchanged for white linen robes and Jesus-style sandals. Women wear white gowns with broaches. They go to their own area, filled with ponds. There they bath nude, they sit on rocks giving each other massages while bantering about pomegranates and frankincense. The very thin, very short, and very fat are all forbidden entry.
Men sometimes peek in from behind a tree or stone. The atmosphere is so lovely. I looked once.
This is a wonderful fantasy. I was hoodwinked until the white robes and sandals. Dreams of Shangrila..

Virgins in Whore's Clothing
August 20 2006 (10:43:00) US/Pacific
When everyone looks so weird, it is hard to do a street style website. Who do you pick to photograph? Everyhody seems to be wearing something overly lacy or with an incredibly bizarre sentiment etched across the front.
A good portion of the young girls in China lack the foggiest idea of the image their style choices project
(Hey, I know I look like a weirdo, not a sophisticate). Maybe the key is to take pictures of all the innocent girls who wear really risqué clothing and seem to not be aware of the concepts they are conveying.
On another note, I am drinking some really foul red wine right now. There were times when I fretted that I would not be able to distinguish good wine from bad wine. Well, Simatai Changcheng proves that I can at least determine what terrible wine is. I'm not sure whether this is made by the big Changcheng brand or whether they added the Simatai in order to confuse consumers, and they are an entirely different brand. It's actually not as foul as the real Changcheng. For my US readers: Don't worry, it's not going to be exported. More on Chinese wines in a different entry.
By the way, recently I tried an inexpensive wine, which is quite drinkable. I recommend you try Marcus James, from Argenina, for value for money. The Malbec should be under ten dollars a bottle. I had heard negative things about Argentinian wine, but this seemed pretty good.

making money from rebellion
August 11 2006 (06:49:00) US/Pacific
A rebellion against affluence, conscipuous consumption, brandnames, and general money-obsession will soon sweep the youth of China. Someone should be on the scene to profit off of it. Certain services and products are needed for an anti-money lifestyle, and people pay good money to buy them. We should research the West and current conditions in China to determine what those products and services are. Hemp?

bit of a personal issue. will update again soon
August 04 2006 (03:05:00) US/Pacific
I dislike Madonna intensely.
As far as pop music goes, Madonna's isn't especially loathsome. It's a strange conflict in me. While I have a strong desire to question the dominant paradigm and be iconoclastic, I also feel strongly about protecting traditions. I suppose this is contradictory, but it is a natural contradiction to feel. Everyone feels it to some degree.
It's not so complicated. Some traditions have already been subjected to enough assaults – particularly those involving Jesus. He gave his life to bring redemption to humanity. We should be grateful, whether or not we believe he was son of God. Why doesn't she make fun of St. Augustine or Calvin, or a well-known (and ridiculous) event like the Crusades? These are easier targets anyway – and they aren't that unknown. I'm not proposing she make fun of a hermit or participant in the Council of Nicea.
Consider the beautiful art that Jesus' life has inspired. Then think about the trash people create to insult him. What does that show?
And the gall of doing this in Rome itself! Do we really need to blaspheme Christ more? He led such a blameless life, devoted to healing people, forgiving prostitutes, etc. I'm sure she would make some excuse about this actually glorifying Christ and expressing her particular relationship with him. This is hogwash. She is trying to usurp his position. What about St. Paul?
I guess a concert attacking Judas or Herod would be pretty dull stuff, but there should be something better.
Of course my reaction is exactly what she craves. But when people like me, who support all kinds of bizarre expression and weirdness, condemn her, it shows something. She's just tedious, but of course she is famous and has latched onto something which will continually make people angry. Good work. The Lord will forgive you, but humanity won't forget your bad taste.
On March 4, 1966, this quote of John's was printed in the London Evening Standard: "Christianity will go. It will vanish and shrink. I needn't argue with that; I'm right and I will be proved right. We're more popular than Jesus now; I don't know which will go first – rock 'n' roll or Christianity."

my career
August 03 2006 (07:20:00) US/Pacific
I am like soooo totally psyched. Yesterday, I got this email from a Mr. Mai Shelong offering me a position as an editor in Huludao, Liaoning Province. I will be editing the English for the signs that describe exhibits in his factory museum. His factory makes a special kind of gas used to lubricate the machines that make the machines that make the machines that make cranes. This is a totally awesome opportunity to get into some really creative and fulfilling work. My career is going to be given a major jolt by this – and there are distinct opportunities for personal development. I'm going to learn so much and develop a real sense of how I can go beyond maximizing my value in a modern service information setting. The team is such a cool and capable group of people, like, total work hard, play hard. Mr. Mai sent along pictures and bios of everybody, and some of them attached messages saying "hey, wasup". I just can't wait to meet everyone there. Shelong (he said I could use his first name) said that he would be my mentor. All I need is a self-starting, can-do attitude. The networking and relationships will help me for the rest of my career. I've heard that Huludao also has a completely alright bar scene. That doesn't even matter 'cause they're gonna be these total parties every night – possibly even karaoke.
The building I'm going to be working in has 23 stories and I'm going to be on the 22nd story. You have a view of three-thousand other buildings which are all that tall. Huludao also has the tallest smokestack in its district. I am so pumped to get a tour of that factory. It makes these bolts.
Time to go add some value!
Hey Nels, Sorry I haven't dropped in for awhile; school keeps me hopping busy. Anyway, glad to hear things are going so well for you. Good luck with everything. I hope all works out! G.

Lunch of Masochists
August 01 2006 (05:30:00) US/Pacific
In addition to the first blue sky in nearly a month, please find above the disgusting fare I call lunch on most days. This meal can run as high as USD 1.80, depending on the size of the bananas. This isn't cheap. A plate of tasty (but potentially bacteria-laden) Muslim noodles can be under one dollar. My goal is not to save money but to avoid becoming a fat guy in pleated pants when I'm forty. Since I'm too lazy to exercise, the only possible solution is what you see above. It's easier to not do things than to do them. That's my theory. It's easier to not eat than exercise.
This method will fail. Eating so little lunch makes me crave more dinner. The successful days are when I somehow get the opportunity to have a small dinner without significant meat or oil.
Let me go into more detail on the parts of this meal.
1. Three bananas: Boring, but temporarily filling
2. Drinking yoghurt: Overly sweetened. If I don't drink this I crave sweets and all afternoon. The least offensive part of the meal until I get to the last few gulps, when I feel like vomiting.
3. Green Cabbage Roll: The main course and, by far, the grossest element of my masochistic gastronomic routine. These have been sitting in the wrapping for a while and have far too much salt. I don't know what it means when all three rolls have leaves that are white and no longer green.
After this meal, I'm ready for some instant coffee, to carry me through the mood fluctuations of the afternoon and the daily battle against drinking cans of the overly sweetened coconut milk, free for the taking in our company refrigerator.
Bananas are too caloric. Try rice crackers.
Posted by lalop on 08/02/2006 06:59:30 AM
Better still, eat some doufu gan. Multitudes of varieties and flavours. Mostly protein and will fill you more and for longer. If you don't want to excercise – get rid of those carbs. If you prefer fruit, mix it up with peaches. Get some tea-eggs and other small protein snacks and keep them in your bottom drawer, eat small and often. Ditch the coffee and switch to room temperature bottles of green or lemon tea. Now, if only I could practice what I bloody preach.
Posted by sunnysideup on 08/02/2006 07:23:24 AM
Wow, thanks a lot for your suggestions, Sinosceptic. I do enjoy doufu gan, but I'd never thought of it as a healthy alternative. While it is hard to imagine life without coffee, I know green tea is better for you. I think I could really practice this lifestyle.
Posted by stylites on 08/02/2006 08:51:03 AM
You eat all dat? You definitely going to be fat!

Although .Paak has been making a big splash in Europe for months now, he's ready to be paid attention to in the United States.

Anderson .Paak
The Oxnard, Calif.-raised .Paak has been developing for several years – first recording under the name Breezy Lovejoy and performing on or producing other people's records. When he found himself outgrowing the moniker and maturing into his music, he decided to change to a variation on his given name, and Anderson .Paak came into being, fully formed and ready to play.
Miller and co-manager Kevin Morrow of Steel Wool Entertainment knew they were onto something special. Paak's band, the Free Nationals, had been performing with others for at least eight years. And .Paak's own soulful playing, singing and songwriting earned the attention of Dr. Dre, who collaborated on his current record, Malibu.
Photo: Jack Plunkett/Invision/AP
"I always felt that somehow Dre loved a singer, but he never really had a guy like Anderson," Miller told Pollstar. "When it came to fruition, obviously you're very surprised when dreams happen."
The major festival circuit is happening for .Paak, including Coachella and Outside Lands, among those that have announced. In the meantime, his team is lining up hard ticket dates in the U.S. in between, primarily to give his longtime fans a chance to see him before he blows up.
"A lot of the bigger promoters started to see what was going on, heard the record, saw what was going on in Europe … and we got offered a lot of festivals," Morrow told Pollstar. "So we took those and now we're connecting them with hard ticket dates."

I was using GDMFX until today for a long period. Unfortunately, their 'payout' for a few pairs related to 'GBP' changed from 80% to ridiculous 58-63% during the Asian session, which is the period used for my strategy.
I need a trustable broker that uses the MT4 plataform. Any recomendation, please?

Starting in August 2016, the band began offering its volunteers the opportunity to sign up to work events held at the Performing Arts Center, the Raleigh Convention Center, and occasionally Red Hat Amphitheater. This new fundraiser is referred to by the acronym PARCC. For most events at these venues, workers must be adults. There may occasionally be events at which students will be eligible to work. Shifts worked at this venue do not count toward your service credit commitment.
There are many attractive features of this fundraiser, including the following:
·Workers earn a band account credit of $8 for each hour worked.
·These venues run year round, providing additional opportunities to earn band account credits during the slower winter and early spring months.
·The band is not contractually obligated to provide a set number of workers for events, thus avoiding conflicts with band events and other band fundraisers.
·Free parking is provided in the parking deck located beside the Convention Center.
Since many of the events at these venues involve alcohol service, adults wishing to work are required to attend a Centerplate alcohol and venue training session. Centerplate has announced 2 additional training dates in March. If you wish to work these venues, please sign up to attend one of these training dates, as they may be the last offered until next fall:
Thursday, March 23rd from 6 p.m. until approximately 8 p.m. - Exhibit Hall B, Raleigh Convention Center
Saturday, March 25th from 12 p.m. until approximately 2 p.m. - Exhibit Hall B, Raleigh Convention Center
In order to assure that there are enough training materials for everyone in attendance, Centerplate is asking for advance sign up. If you are interested in attending this training session, please sign up no later than Tuesday, March 21 at 5 p.m. using the following link:
Here's how it works in 3 easy steps:
1. Click this link to go to our invitation page on SignUp.com: http://signup.com/go/wodc73

The Sims 4 Eat Out Trailer Released, Shows Restaurateur Sims
The latest Sims 4 expansion, Eat Out, has gotten a trailer for when it will release on June 7. The Sims 4 Eat Out trailer will be adding a wide variety of new ways for your Sims to interact with food instead of just cooking it and/or burning it. The expansion was first announced by a series of leaks and teases back in April.
The Sims 4 Eat Out trailer also shows that your Sims can now open restaurants for other Sims to eat in, allowing you to start a business and make the most delicious food possible to satisfy your customers. The trailer shows that you can make your restaurant how you want it, choosing the style of decor, the food served, and you even have to address issues between your staff and your customers. You can even dress up your waiters in different outfits, ranging from stylish suits to hot-dog costumes.
So, it's up for you to decide. Do you want a hip and trendy place for people to have fun? Do you want to go for foreign cuisine with a sushi restaurant? And where would you place it? In the center of the city, in a nice park, or even on the side of a road?
You will also be able to pick and choose who you hire to staff the restaurant, so you can get a suave, elegant waiter, a rude, condescending host, or a clumsy cook. Sims that eat at your restaurant will also rate it, so keeping your service and food good is vital to making sure you're successful. Sims will also take photos of your food and critics will come to your restaurant, making it even more important that you keep everyone happy.
The Sims 4 Eat Out trailer also shows a variety of different foods that you can have in your restaurant, all of which look beautiful (or rather, as beautiful as they can look in a game like The Sims).
So, if you're looking for a new way to spice up your Sims game, The Sims 4: Eat Out will be available on June 7 for PC and Mac OS.

In 2003, like many Chicagoans, I was nearly glued to the television in September and October watching the Cubs baseball team during the play-offs. As a die-hard Cubs fan and suburban north-sider, I would naturally cheer for my team, no matter how far they went in the series.
The team had been transformed over the previous few years due to a combination of things, great leadership being one of them.
During a game in early October, the Cub's pitching coach went out to the mound to talk with pitcher Mark Prior. One of the commentators said, "He is one of the best pitching coaches, if not the best. " Another commentator asked why he thought that. He responded, "Because he not only knows about the technical aspects of pitching. He also gets to know you as a person: what makes you tick, what makes you work well or not work well. He gets to know your family. "
This commentator acknowledged good coaching in baseball as coaching from someone who coaches a player in more than just the technical areas of pro baseball. Life affects the whole person. This great pitching coach is acknowledged as great by current and former players because he knows how to turn average pitchers into great pitchers, and he utilizes more than just technical drills. He moves and motivates players to excellence by getting into their mind, their emotions, and what is important to them, without being intrusive.
It's the same way in business. If I, as a coach, only stick to subjects with clients that involve their business, I could be missing something. Not that I delve into peoples' non-business- private-lives. No, those of you who've known me for a while are aware that I don't tend to delve there. Understanding what makes people tick (and how they work well vs. how they don't work well), however, can lead to "people data" that affects business and work. If, like that pitching coach, I can get to know a client beyond "technical pitching", I can really help him or her achieve greater goals (like Cubs pitchers who usher their team to a greater place than I've ever seen them go in my lifetime).
If we translate the pitching coach/pitcher relationship to that of boss/employee, a lot of the same principles apply as well. Getting to know your employees: what makes them tick, what makes them work well or not work well, and, if appropriate, getting to know their family (or, know about their family) goes a long way toward motivation-to-excellence, in addition to coaching and leading in technical skills. This type of leadership can turn average workers into great workers.
