Frequently Asked Questions
What is home health care?
Home health care is an excellent, cost-effective alternative to hospital or other institutional care. Service is based on the individual's need as defined by his or her physician's plan of care and may range from 24-hour-a-day care to monthly visits from skilled nurses, therapists, social workers and/or home health aides.
What are the advantages of home health care?
In many cases, home health care permits a person to be discharged earlier from a hospital, reduces hospital admissions, and assists with a more rapid recovery. Most importantly, people are happier at home and receive more care and attention from family, friends and home health care professionals.
Who uses home health care?
People of all ages use home health care services.
People who are able to be discharged from a hospital or nursing home but need additional care;
People who are terminally ill and want to live their final days with dignity surrounded by their loved ones in the comfort of their own home;
People who have short-term health needs;
People who need assistance, due to age or disability, to remain at home; and
People who need education about the disease process and training on how to best care for themselves.
What types of home care agencies are there?
In Illinois, there are two main types of home health care agencies: certified agencies and private duty (or non-certified) agencies.
Certified agencies
Certified home health care agencies comply with Medicare and Medicaid regulations. An individual's Medicare benefit defines the conditions that qualify for service. The need for service typically arises after hospitalization or a significant change in medical condition. Care is prescribed by a physician and is generally restricted to skilled services that may include nursing; physical, occupational or speech/language therapy; medical social work; and/or home health aides to assist with personal care needs. While a physician must prescribe care, the patient has the right to select the provider of his/her choice. VNA of Rockford Illinois is a Medicare- and Medicaid-certified agency.
Private duty agencies
. Private duty agencies offer a wide variety of services, including medical and non-medical care. For example, in addition to nursing, private duty services could include assistance with shopping, laundry, meals, and companionship. The patient/family generally incur the cost of care, although some insurance plans may also cover all or a portion of it.
What types of professionals comprise the home health care team?
The home health care team consists of physicians, nurses, home health aides, medical social workers, and therapists. They coordinate care based on an individual's needs.
Who pays for home health care services?
Medicare, Medicaid or other health insurances may cover the cost of home health care services. Some insurance policies will not cover all home health care services unless certain conditions are met. You can still obtain care without insurance coverage through a private duty agency on a private-pay basis. Additionally, some agencies may have funding to help people who cannot afford the private pay option. The home health care agency will be able to assist in determining if the services you need are covered or if you need to make other arrangements.
When does service begin?
A physician, patient or family member can initiate service. However, Medicare, Medicaid and most insurance plans require physician oversight. Once the physician prescribes home health care, he/she authorizes a coordinated treatment plan, commonly called a "plan of care," and periodically reviews services and the patient's progress. If a physician does not prescribe home health care, but the individual still desires services, a private duty agency can suggest a plan of care to meet a wide variety of needs and budgets. While some insurance plans may pay for private duty services, they are typically an out-of-pocket expense.
How do I choose the right agency for my loved one's needs?
Information regarding home health care services can be obtained from many sources, including hospital discharge departments, your physician, public health departments, telephone directory yellow pages under "home care," "home health care," or "nursing," or through Web site search engines using similar terms.
What if VNA can't resolve my problem or concern?
Some questions you may want to ask a prospective home health care agency, along with VNA's answers to these questions, appear below:
Does the agency have information explaining its services, fees, and eligibility requirements?
VNA has several brochures describing its programs and services. Call (815) 971-3550 to receive brochures on our Medicare-certified home health care, hospice, home medical equipment, or older adult services.
How does the provider select and train its employees?
VNA's visiting staff are bonded and insured. Employees are screened through background checks. In addition, they receive regular company-provided training.
Are nurses or therapists required to evaluate the patient's home care needs? If so, what does this involve?
A patient's first visit consists of a thorough assessment of physical, mental, emotional and social needs. From this assessment, an individualized plan of care is developed with input from the family and authorization from the patient's physician.
Will the provider consult the patient's physicians and family members?
VNA always welcomes family involvement in a patient's care. Medicare guidelines require physician consultation, and in instances where Medicare is not used, VNA will contact the patient's physician at the individual's request.
Is the patient's course of treatment documented, detailing specific tasks to be accomplished by each professional caregiver?
Yes. A patient's course of treatment and progress is documented at each VNA home visit.
Does the patient and his or her family receive a copy of this plan, and is the plan updated as changes occur?
Yes. A copy of the patient's plan of care, along with a list of patient's rights and responsibilities, and an emergency plan is left in the patient's home.
Will the provider take time to teach family members about the care given to the patient?
Yes. Education is an important part of VNA's patient care plan and family members are an integral part of the care team.
Who can the patient and his or her family members contact with questions or complaints?
VNA patients and family members can call (815) 971-3550.
How does the agency follow up on and resolve problems?
As a Medicare/Medicaid home health agency, VNA is mandated to have a structured process in place to follow up and resolve problems.

Japan renegotiates contracts that one side finds itself unhappy with.
The idea is that both sides have to come out ahead.
It's not a failure if you can't come to a price. It's a success. There's no price where both sides come out ahead.
Obama has been arranging that throughout the economy, so that it's seldom that both sides can come out ahead and business stops. - 10/16/13, 9:50 AM

My dad explained that haggling with certain merchants means you think that they are screwing you on the initial price, and is an insult.
Even if they really ARE screwing you on the initial price.
It just matters on finding whether it is socially acceptable to haggle. At, say, a retail store, you've got less wiggle room than a flea market. - 10/16/13, 9:53 AM
- Matthew Sablan said...
Also, perishables are good to negotiate over (like the pastries in the article.) Something is better than nothing for the merchant, but they can probably wholesale it at the end of the day, so you have to at least go a bit more than break even for them.
- El Pollo Raylan said...
The Italians call most any shop or store un negozio. I'm told that most women love to shop, or negotiate, so this individual's opinion doesn't surprise me.
I am surprised that our President refuses to shop. - 10/16/13, 10:00 AM
- El Pollo Raylan said...
I recently helped a neighbor take a truckload of household stuff to gigantic outdoor swap meet (flea market) here in Oceanside and to sell it. The market is a favorite of the local Latino population. Let me tell you people, those people love to negotiate and it helps to know un poco de español--especially the numbers. It's the future!

The important thing is to not really want the item. And that the seller knows this and that you *will* walk away.

This. And knowing the market. And (not the same thing)knowing what the popular perception of the market is.

My husband is a pro at haggling. Once in Mexico he made me go stand outside the shop because I was out bidding him. No lie. I'm always embarrassed at doing it. He got a really cool hand carved chest set in Aghanastan. It took him six months. Some days he'd walk by the stand without even looking, some days he'd stop and browse, make his offer and walk away. Finally he wore the guy down and got what he wanted for it.

The marketplace haggles.
If a price is too high, people stop buying and go elsewhere.
Merchant either adjusts the price and/or offers an incentive, or goes out of business. - 10/16/13, 10:50 AM

Everything is negotiable. Our Prez never negotiated anything in his life...it was always given to him.
- Larry J said...
My wife is a Filipina. Haggling is part of their culture and she's good at it. A lot of merchants are surprised when she tried to haggle but nothing ventured, nothing gained.
- tim maguire said...
Dishonesty is fundamental to haggling. The price is set deliberately high to take advantage of the sucker. The offer is set deliberately low to take advantage of the desperate seller.
Nobody tells the truth and each is trying to cheat the other. The better liar/cheater wins. - 10/16/13, 11:17 AM
- Peter said...
The important thing is to not really want the item.
There are many books on negotiating, and many methods that may be to one's advantage.
For a big-ticket item, one method is to get a commissioned salesperson to invest significant time in you. You lose some of that "I don't really care" leverage (even if you mention comparables you're looking at), but after that salesperson has invested significant time in the deal most will be really motivated to at least get something for their time (instead of the big fat nothing they'll get if there's no sale).
And then there's the whole territory of "price anchors," in that negotiations often move up or down from the first price that was mentioned- if possible, you want to be the one to set that price anchor.
Of course, one must always be willing to walk away.
BUT I don't much care for haggling to become the norm even for small purchases, because that is too much of a burden for small transactions. Imagine how much time and effort it would cost to haggle the price of every item in your supermarket cart! - 10/16/13, 11:20 AM
- Michael said...
It never hurts to politely ask if the price quoted is the best the seller can do. You can only be surprised on the upside.

It's really a cultural thing. In Korea it's expected for the merchant and customer to haggle. It's almost ritualistic they way they do it. My (Korean)wife was shopping for for shoes and found a pair she liked. They went back and forth for awhile in the native tongue and finally my wife said "let's go!" and started walking away. I knew she wanted the shoes, so I asked what happened? The shoes were the equivalent of $80 and she offered $60. The merchant countered with $70. So, I jumped in and said how about $65? He accepted and my wife was pissed telling me he would have taken $60 before she walked out of the store. Ah well.
She has tried to bargain here in the USA without much success, although she did get us a discount on a mattress set. I've learned to stay out of these negotiations. - 10/16/13, 11:30 AM

There are, of course, the other rules that influence the degree of haggling. Automobile salespeople, whose income is dependent upon commissions, start all "deal" offerings far above the market price of the vehicle in question - and offer after counteroffer drags on and on over days sometimes. However, the new world of internet car buying has shortened this process considerably.
Examples of non-haggling go first to the health care industry, where insurance contracts are designed to guarantee certain income levels for providers while keeping patients out of the pricing considerations altogether.
My point is that haggling is relative to established pricing rules. Nobody can get the the price of a can of Campbell's tomato soup reduced to a price below the amount programmed into the check-out scanner - but anyone who wants to play the couponing game can likely find a scrip that lowers the soup price. - 10/16/13, 11:33 AM
- Sigivald said...
"Rather than feeling shame, I'm learning that seeking a fair, ethical price might actually feel good."
Taking an offered price as-is is fair and ethical, too.
And reduces transaction costs considerably over haggling; my time and effort are worth a lot more to me than a small discount on some random thing.
(Turns out, in fact, that any mutually agreed price without coercion is fair and ethical.)

I hate to negotiate. I find that moderating my consumption is more likely to engender peace of mind.
- Amy said...
My take is - if the difference in price is negligible TO YOU, but SIGNIFICANT to the other person (i.e. in many of the countries named above), just STFU and pay it.
I remember once in Jamaica, in the market haggling over some piece of crap that was a gift for someone, the difference was $1 Jamaican, which was $.025 American at the time. I hated the whole experience - who argues over a QUARTER? - 10/16/13, 12:10 PM
- Julie C said...
I learned to haggle while in the Peace Corps. Where I was in Africa, it was expected that you would haggle over the price. It was fun, to be honest. I did the walk away thing a few times and always had the merchant run after me. In a country without reliable electricity, I guess you find your entertainment in different ways.
In the US, I think the widespread use of credit cards has made haggling more difficult. Walking into a store (non-chain) with cash seems to make a difference, when the merchant knows they will not have to pay the credit card processing fee. - 10/16/13, 12:12 PM
- Almost Ali said...
my time and effort are worth a lot more to me than a small discount on some random thing.
Actually, you'd be amazed how much money a few seconds of haggling will save you - especially over a lifetime. Because that's all it takes, a few second here, a few seconds there, and soon you're "earning" more money per hour than than a good lawyer.
A furniture store is asking $1,000 for a particular couch. You offer $800. You settle on $900.
Now, how long did it take to "earn" that hundred dollars? Moral: things, merchandise, grow on trees, buyers don't. - 10/16/13, 12:24 PM

An old time American value was that greed was bad and that love of money as shown by haggling and cheapness was "bad form". Only lesser breeds "haggled".
Now in new America 2.0 its now a good thing. Maybe, its certainly more honest. - 10/16/13, 6:45 PM

MutexRights Enumeration
Specifies the access control rights that can be applied to named system mutex objects.
This enumeration has a FlagsAttribute attribute that allows a bitwise combination of its member values.
Namespace: System.Security.AccessControlAssembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
Member name | Description | |
Modify | The right to release a named mutex. | |
Delete | The right to delete a named mutex. | |
ReadPermissions | The right to open and copy the access rules and audit rules for a named mutex. | |
ChangePermissions | The right to change the security and audit rules associated with a named mutex. | |
TakeOwnership | The right to change the owner of a named mutex. | |
Synchronize | The right to wait on a named mutex. | |
FullControl | The right to exert full control over a named mutex, and to modify its access rules and audit rules. |
Use the MutexRights enumeration to specify access control rights when you create MutexSecurity objects. To apply access rights to a named system mutex, use MutexSecurity objects with the Mutex(Boolean, String, Boolean, MutexSecurity) constructor and the Mutex.SetAccessControl method.
Note: |
Security on synchronization objects is not supported for Windows 98 or Windows Millennium Edition. |
The following code example demonstrates the use of MutexRights values when creating and using MutexAccessRule objects. The example creates an MutexSecurity object, adds rules that allow and deny various rights for the current user, and displays the resulting pair of rules. The example then allows new rights for the current user and displays the result, showing that the new rights are merged with the existing AccessControlType.Allow rule.
Note: |
This example does not attach the security object to a Mutex object; see MutexSecurity, Mutex.GetAccessControl method, and Mutex.SetAccessControl. |
using System; using System.Threading; using System.Security.AccessControl; using System.Security.Principal; public class Example { public static void Main() { // Create a string representing the current user. string user = Environment.UserDomainName + "\\" + Environment.UserName; // Create a security object that grants no access. MutexSecurity mSec = new MutexSecurity(); // Add a rule that grants the current user the // right to enter or release the mutex. MutexAccessRule rule = new MutexAccessRule(user, MutexRights.Synchronize | MutexRights.Modify, AccessControlType.Allow); mSec.AddAccessRule(rule); // Add a rule that denies the current user the // right to change permissions on the mutex. rule = new MutexAccessRule(user, MutexRights.ChangePermissions, AccessControlType.Deny); mSec.AddAccessRule(rule); // Display the rules in the security object. ShowSecurity(mSec); // Add a rule that allows the current user the // right to read permissions on the mutex. This rule // is merged with the existing Allow rule. rule = new MutexAccessRule(user, MutexRights.ReadPermissions, AccessControlType.Allow); mSec.AddAccessRule(rule); ShowSecurity(mSec); } private static void ShowSecurity(MutexSecurity security) { Console.WriteLine("\r\nCurrent access rules:\r\n"); foreach(MutexAccessRule ar in security.GetAccessRules(true, true, typeof(NTAccount))) { Console.WriteLine(" User: {0}", ar.IdentityReference); Console.WriteLine(" Type: {0}", ar.AccessControlType); Console.WriteLine(" Rights: {0}", ar.MutexRights); Console.WriteLine(); } } } /*This code example produces output similar to following: Current access rules: User: TestDomain\TestUser Type: Deny Rights: ChangePermissions User: TestDomain\TestUser Type: Allow Rights: Modify, Synchronize Current access rules: User: TestDomain\TestUser Type: Deny Rights: ChangePermissions User: TestDomain\TestUser Type: Allow Rights: Modify, ReadPermissions, Synchronize */

The smoke of the SXSW Film Festival is fading, and the spring bloom of the Tribeca Film Festival is around the corner. And like they do every year, the organizers have put together a series of terrific talks with some heavyweight filmmakers and creative talent, and they're really bringing the goods this April.
READ MORE: 21 Films We Hope To See In The Cannes 2017 Lineup
Scarlett Johansson, Noah Baumbach, Dustin Hoffman, Alejandro González Iñárritu, Tom Hanks, and more will participate in a series of conversations that should prove tremendously fascinating and entertaining. If the movies weren't exciting enough, extended sitdowns with guests certainly up the ante.
The Tribeca Film Festival runs from April 19-30.
Jon Favreau with Scarlett Johansson
Filmmaker Jon Favreau will talk to actress Scarlett Johansson about his distinguished and diverse career as a director, successful across both indie and blockbuster franchises, ranging from the indie hit Swingers to the blockbuster Iron Man series. He will also discuss his initiation into virtual reality with Gnomes & Goblins and the landmark live action effort, The Jungle Book, truly embodying the spirit of a director who knows no bounds.
DATE: Friday, April 21
Alejandro González Iñárritu
Academy Award®-winning filmmaker Alejandro González Iñárritu, one of only three directors to ever win consecutive Oscars and the first to do so in 65 years, will talk about his beautifully varied work on films such as Amores Perros, 21 Grams, Biutiful, Babel, and most recently, The Revenant. Iñárritu is the first Mexican filmmaker to have been nominated for Best Director and Best Producer in the history of the Academy Awards.

Four Weddings and a Funeral [1994]
More Four Weddings and a Funeral quotes | Buy this movie on Amazon
Gareth used to prefer funerals to weddings. He said it was easier to get enthusiastic about a ceremony one had an outside chance of eventually being involved in. In order to prepare this speech, I rang a few people, to get a general picture of how Gareth was regarded by those who met him. Fat seems to be a word people most connected with him. Terribly rude also rang a lot of bells. So very fat and very rude seems to have been a stranger's viewpoint. On the other hand, some of you have been kind enough to ring me to tell me that you loved him, which I know he'd be thrilled to hear. You remember his fabulous hospitality... his strange experimental cooking. The recipe for "Duck à la Banana" fortunately goes with him to his grave. Most of all, you tell me of his enormous capacity for joy. When joyful, when joyful for highly vocal drunkenness. But joyful is how I hope you'll remember him. Not stuck in a box in a church. Pick your favorite of his waistcoats and remember him that way. The most splendid, replete, big-hearted, weak-hearted as it turned out, and jolly bugger most of us ever met. As for me, you may ask how I'll remember him, what I thought of him. Unfortunately there I don't have words. Perhaps you will forgive me if I turn from my own feelings to the words of another splendid bugger: W.H. Auden. This is actually what I want to say: "Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone. Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone. Silence the pianos and with muffled drum, Bring out the coffin... let the mourners come. Let aeroplanes circle, moaning overhead, Scribbling on the sky the message: He is Dead. Put crepe bows 'round the necks of public doves, Let traffic policemen wear black, cotton gloves. He was my North, my South, my East, my West. My working week and my Sunday rest. My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song, I thought love would last forever: I was wrong. The stars are not wanted now, put out every one. Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun. Pour out the ocean and sweep up the wood, For nothing now can ever come to any good."

Geothermal or AirSource Heat Pump
I'm trying to make a decision on which type unit to go with. House is approximately 1665 sq foot ranch with equivalent walkout (daylight basement). See plan here: http://houseplans.co/house-plans/1236/
We got rid of the small crawl space and opted to make full basement. Everything caulk and sealed, 2x6 walls w/owens corning propink r23 insulation. r50 blown in fiber in attic. r5 externally insulated basement in conjunction with r5 eps insulated interior (rim joists included). The basement slab is insulated as well. The house is located in (zone 4) Shelbyville, Kentucky. I have multiple geo quotes and air source heat pump quotes. Got decision down to two quotes. First is for a 3 ton single stage 5 series waterfurnace geothermal unit w/desuperheater and 40 gallon preheat tank; and a heat recovery ventilator. There are three 185 foot vertical ground loops. The unit also has intellistart, axb controls, and touch screen thermostat (consequence of the 1500 rebate deal) Initial istall would be $24132; would end up costing $15800 after rebate and 30% tax incentive. The quote for air source heat pump would be 4 ton 16 seer rheem 2 stage heat pump and a heat recovery ventilator. The price for this unit installed w/duct work would be $11500. Which option would you choose and why? Thanks.
Posted Nov 24, 2012 9:02 PM ET
Can someone give me some insight here. I have to implement this in a couple of weeks and I'm trying to make the most educated decision. Given the aforementioned costs which direction do you think would be the best way to go? My main priority is ensuring the best environmental control with the best cost savings. If I would get equivalent energy consumption costs from both systems, I'd go air sources. If the geo provides me with better energy conservation and can be justified, I'd obviously go that way. I don't have enough experience with this two systems to make an educated decision either way. And by the way, I priced mini splits in Kentucky, and it was ridiculously expensive....$34000 for 6 units.
Posted Nov 27, 2012 9:56 AM ET
It's hard to answer this question over the Internet -- there are just too many factors.
I've always felt that if a single-family home needs a $24,000 heating and cooling system, that's a sign of a bad design. In general, it's better to invest in envelope improvements than in a very expensive heating and cooling system. But it may be too late for your project to think of a simpler house design or a better thermal envelope.
One thing is for sure: your HVAC equipment will need servicing and replacing some day, so it makes sense to keep it as simple as possible.
Posted Nov 27, 2012 10:06 AM ET
Ground source. Only because of rebate makes the cost right. And your location is better than mine as to ground temperature.
Use a very experienced contractor!
Posted Nov 27, 2012 10:30 AM ET
The notion that it would take 6 mini-splits to heat & cool this place is a bit ridiculous, even though it's not high-R house. A room-by-room heat load calc would probably show that more than half the heating & cooling load is the Great Room and Game Room, and upgrading the windows on the doored off bedrooms could be upgraded to something higher-performance it could be made pretty comfortable winter & summer with just 2 heads, even if it meant you had to slightly over-cool and over heat the Great Room and Game Room zones to keep it super-comfortable in the doored-off rooms at the temperature extremes. A pair of 1.5 or 2-tons plus some pricier glass could be what it takes.
I'm with Martin- for the kind of coin you're talking for a 3 ton GSHP system you could have taken it to higher performance the building envelope and gone with a couple of 3/4 ton mini-splits or a 1.5- 2 ton multi-split, using even less annual power than the proposed GSHP. The dense-packed fiberglass is pretty good and all, but no matter what R you put between the framing it's performance is robbed by the thermal bridging- two inches of rigid iso between the sheathing & siding would cut the wall-losses by half. You have a lot of glass in that house, and upgrading to triple-panes might break the budget, but a very careful analysis of the glazing and heating/cooling requirements of each room using RESFEN or similar might find the right balance of glazing cost vs. mechanical systems costs. Better yet, simulating the whole house with BeOpt would point you to the best places to look for further load-reduction.
3 tons is about the tipping point/sanity-break between going GSHP vs. ductless, and if the place isn't built yet it should be pretty straightforward to bring the actual loads under 2 tons for less than the upfront price difference between the full on-ducted GSHP or ASHP designs and a judicious (rather than the 1-head per room micro-zoned approach) ductless design using the HRV flow & jump ducts to condition/temperature balance the low-load rooms.
Posted Nov 27, 2012 6:43 PM ET
Thanks for the advice all. Sorry Dana....I forgot to mention that the 2x6 stud wall will be covered in with a solid layer of osb, 1 inch foam board, and hardiplank siding. I've also cut down on the amount of windows from the original plan and I've given up two of the doors leading out of the master and family room. I'm only putting in a single door from the dining room.

The Fraud Examiner
Crowdfunding has become a hot topic among investors, regulators and fraud examiners as the phenomenon has gained traction over the last few years. This method of raising funds allows entrepreneurs to appeal directly to a large number of individuals through an online crowdfunding platform, thus avoiding banks, brokers or other intermediaries.
While it has been used to generate financial support for new products, artistic support and charity, the recent JOBS act created an exemption to federal securities laws by allowing crowdfunding to be used as a means to buy and sell securities. Regulators like the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) have proposed new rules and are still determining what controls are needed to help protect investors in this new frontier.
To gain some insight into this emerging issue, The Fraud Examiner spoke with Eric Miles, CFE, CPA, CFF, partner in charge of Moss Adams' Business Risk practice for Northern California and national practice leader for the firm's technology industry group. Miles has participated in several panel discussions on crowdfunding and shed some light on securities crowdfunding.
Crowdfunding has existed for a few years now. But can you tell us what is new with the concept of "securities crowdfunding?"
We currently have product-based and donation-based crowdfunding, but securities crowdfunding will allow a non-accredited investor to participate in early startups through Internet portals. The SEC has proposed new rules that would affect this type of investing. What we would potentially see with securities crowdfunding is a whole new class of investor, and that, frankly, might be where some of the fraud risk comes from. You have investors who may not do the same amount of due diligence (as experienced investors or venture capitalists).
What will be the main differences between existing crowdfunding and the new securities crowdfunding?
Product crowdfunding involves an entrepreneur saying, "I want to create this new product." As a participant, you are not buying equity or debt. You're buying the product, or some other definable benefit. So to this point, we've had product crowdfunding or, in some cases, donation crowdfunding, where you are giving to a cause. But now (with securities crowdfunding) we are talking about debt and equity funding. Which, to me, is light years different in terms of risk. When you invest in a product, there is an end point. The product is made (and then it either sells, or it doesn't). Equity investing means you buy this equity and you don't really know what you are going to get. It could be fraud, or it could be a failed idea.
What makes security crowdfunding inherently more risky?
I think one of the main questions here is why a company would use it. If you are a company that needs to use securities crowdfunding, that is a warning sign in and of itself. The reason I say that is because if you have a viable product, a venture capital group (or other more traditional financing means) would have backed you.
So with some of these startups, you have to wonder: is there going to be a stigma? Are people going to ask themselves (or others) before they invest, "why are they using security crowdfunding when, if they had a viable business model, they could have received the funding by other means?"
One of the questions I've been asked is what concerns me the most. Equity securities can be really squishy in terms of "what is expected." The company could go bankrupt. Or it could be a fraud. Also, what happens if you invest and then have no control over future investments? Your investment could be diluted out of any value.
Another issue is pump and dump. Although the SEC proposed rules specifically addressing the advertising of crowdfunding securities, I think there is still a real concern that you are going to have various parties pumping up through social media the value of the investment... basically like selling stock. They will be pumping it up and then selling pretty worthless securities. This is not an uncommon type of fraud for penny or microcap securities, and I would imagine it could be worse with securities crowdfunding. This plays into the risks of emotional investing, especially using an Internet portal.
Do financial experts agree about the risks of securities crowdfunding?
There are two schools of thought on crowdfunding today. There are people, like me, who are skeptical – who see the potential for harm. Then there are those who believe in the "wisdom of crowds" – the assertion being that the crowd itself, because of its collective wisdom, can identify fraud. This is fueled by social media and our overall connectedness in today's world. Editor's note: Read more on the merits vs. risks of crowdfunding in this ABC News article from September.
What else do you see in the proposed SEC rules that garners our attention?
There is an interesting aspect that is going to make this fascinating. The SEC put a lot of onus on these intermediaries (the portals) in expecting them to do some of their own due diligence (in terms of vetting the investment opportunities). According to what I've read, investors may be able to hold those portals accountable (in the case of fraud). I'm curious to see who gets in the game here. There are the proposed SEC rules, and then there is another set of rules from FINRA. If I were a potential portal, I would have my own rules: if you want to raise money on my website, you need to go through these due diligence checks in order to do that.
What advice would you give investors who are considering participating in a crowdfunding opportunity?
Don't put all of your eggs in one basket. These types of investment opportunities are highly speculative.

Things We Like
Jeff: "waking up next to my wife, the way my son laughs, the sound of rain hitting the roof, jazz, the way my wife sings Christmas songs without realizing it whenever she's happy, running, graphic novels, and whisky."
Lisa: "sleeping in, the sound of waves crashing, the city, headphones, vinyl records, old movies, road trips, witty banter, subtitles, singing in the shower, tongue-in-cheek humor, laughing 'till I cry, writing my son letters, and bunnies."

About this entry:
A place at the mouth of the Firth of Drengist, in the cold lands northwest of Beleriand. It was here that Fëanor landed at the beginning of the First Age, and gave the order to burn the stolen ships of the Teleri in which he had sailed to Middle-earth. His half-brother Fingolfin, trapped in Aman by this deed, was forced to march across the deadly Helcaraxë with his people to reach the Hither Lands.

Arcs. I am going to learn to sew arcs with the little bit of Summersville I already have. This bundle would be lovely to add to what I have to make the quilt larger. Hopefully I have luck with my drunkard's path blocks as the last time I tried to sew an arc it did not work out well at all. I've been watching lots of tutorials!! :D
Thanks for such a generous giveaway.I've had only a hand driven old Singer to quilt with up until now so have only been able to quilt straight lines as one hand is always needed to drive the wheel. As a wedding present, I've just received a brand-spanking new electric Janome so I would really love to get to grips with free motion quilting. Thanks for the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteYay for another Summersville giveaway! Between all of them and all of the Flea Market Fancy giveaways going on today maybe I'll get lucky and finally be able to add some of these to my stash! lol I'd really love to get better at hand sewing, and learn to do more of it. I want to learn needle turn applique and hand quilting so badly.

James Gandolfini Movie Enough Said Gets Release Date: See the Poster
James Gandolfini's legacy lives on. On Thursday, July 25 -- a little over a month after the star's sudden death of a heart attack at the age of 51 -- Fox Searchlight Pictures revealed a release date and movie poster for Enough Said, the second-to-last film Gandolfini shot before his untimely passing.
Set to open in select theaters on Sept. 20, 2013, the movie finds the late Sopranos actor playing a love interest for Seinfeld alum Julia Louis-Dreyfus. Catherine Keener, Toni Collette, and Ben Falcone also star.
PHOTOS: Stars we've lost in 2013
"He played a divorced dad who doted on his daughter and was crazy about Julia's character," writer/director Nicole Holofcener told the Hollywood Reporter after Gandolfini's death on June 19. "He didn't believe he could play a romantic lead, even though everyone on the set thought he was sexy and hilarious. He was charming and self-effacing and incredibly talented. Not only did he pull off playing a leading man, his performance is subtle and moving and very, very lovely."
Indeed, costar Collette told Cinema Blend recently that the actor's work in Enough Said may be his most revealing ever. "I'm so excited for his fans to be able to see him in Enough Said, because he's a total teddy bear in it. He's the leading man," she gushed. "He's sought after, loved, talked about, and I just feel so lucky to have gotten to work with him."
"He was the real deal," she continued. "He actually had a twinkle in his eye. He was cheeky and wonderful. I can't believe how young [he was]. I mean, 51? It's just too sad."
Enough Said will premiere at the Toronto Film Festival in September. Prior to his death, Gandolfini also filmed the movie Animal Rescue. No release date has been set for that project.

Remember the little change in the Sauk River?
It took me a while to find this, but here is what I sent him.
I am writing to express my deep concern regarding the recent illegal destruction of critical salmon habitat along the Sauk River. The Sauk is one of the most important salmon and steelhead producing rivers in the Northwest and one of only three Wild and Scenic rivers in Washington. It is home to Chinook salmon and bull trout that are listed under the Endangered Species Act. By bulldozing a quarter-mile-long stretch of the river, the perpetrators destroyed critical fish habitat. In addition, this illegal activity will worsen erosion problems for downstream properties. Threatened salmon and other species must be protected from such egregious violations of the laws that protect our natural resources. This requires that your agency exercise its enforcement authority by conducting a thorough investigation of this illegal activity and meting out an appropriate penalty that will deter others from similar conduct. I would appreciate a response to this letter explaining the action that your agency intends to take. Thank you for your consideration. Sincerely, Brian Simonseth Here is what Snohomish County Executive sent to me today. From: County Executive Date: 06/10/04 13:34:48 Subject: Sauk River grading Thank you for your e-mail to my office regarding the recent grading on the Sauk River near Darrington. In cooperation with the Department of Fish and Wildlife and other resource agencies, Snohomish County is actively investigating and pursuing enforcement proceedings against the owners of the properties where the alleged violations occurred. The case is complicated by the fact that there are multiple property owners involved on multiple properties, some of which are legally defined by the location of the river, which has recently changed its course. We anticipate that it may take several months to conclude our investigation. Protection of our salmon resources is important to me and to the people of Snohomish County. Destruction of our rivers is not acceptable. Thank you for your interest and concern. Sincerely, Aaron Reardon Snohomish County Executive 3000 Rockefeller, M/S 407 Everett WA 98201 425-388-3460

British people waste more energy than the inhabitants of any other major western European nation, hastening climate change and adding £2.5bn to annual fuel bills, according to research.
A poll of 5,000 Europeans by the Energy Saving Trust found the average Briton admitted to 32 bad habits such as leaving lights on in empty rooms, more than twice as many as the most energy conscious nation.
In interviews last month released for the start of Energy Efficiency Week today, Germans admitted to having 14 energy wasting habits, the Spanish 16, the French 19 and the Italians 25.
By contrast, the UK was revealed to be a nation of "standby junkies", with 71 per cent rarely if ever switching off televisions, DVD players, computers and other electrical appliances.
Two-thirds of people boiled surplus water in kettles, and 65 per cent left mobile phone and other chargers needlessly plugged in to the mains. Two-thirds left lights on in empty rooms.
Householders could save £11bn in fuel bills by 2010 by eliminating the waste as well as prevent the release into the atmosphere of 43 million ton of carbon dioxide, estimated the EST. It calculated the unnecessary carbon dioxide was equivalent to the annual emissions of 7 million homes.
The poll, conducted in the UK, Germany, France, Spain and Italy by ICM, revealed that Britons wasted the most energy.
The only area in which the British performed well was in donning extra clothing rather than turning up the heating. Among the details, British men and women were equally likely to waste energy, though men were less likely to feel guilty about it. One in five men felt no guilt at all.
In terms of age, the most profligate groups were children, of whom their parents said 70 per cent made no effort to save energy, and the over-65s, of whom 27 per cent made no effort to save energy.
However the report found support among 57 per cent of people for official "environmental health" warnings on inefficient products.
Philip Sellwood, chief executive of Energy Saving Trust, said that 40 per cent of the population appeared to be resistant to energy efficiency."We, in the past five or six years, have been living on the energy cheap and perhaps that's why people haven't paid the attention we want. And now with energy bills approaching £1,000 if you can reduce you bills by £300 through a few no-cost simple measures then that is something I think even the relatively well-off will pay attention to," he said.
Amid growing political concern over climate change, 404 MPs have signed a Commons Early Day Motion calling for a new law requiring annual cuts in UK emissions. The call is backed by the main opposition parties.
Last month, one of global authorities on the subject, the Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research, warned that Britain had just four years to plan a low-carbon economy where petrol stations would be redundant in order to do its bit to avoid climate change.
The study said the UK must cut emissions by 70 per cent in the next 30 years; the Government's target is 60 per cent by 2050.
Scientists believe climate change caused by greenhouse gases has been behind extreme weather in recent years, such as Hurricane Katrina last year.
Britain's bad habits
* 71 per cent leave appliances on standby
* 67 per cent boil more water than needed in kettles
* 65 per cent leave chargers plugged in
* 63 per cent don't turn off lights in empty rooms
* 48 per cent use the car for short journeys
* 44 per cent wash clothes at 60F
* 32 per cent leave the engine running while the car is stationary
* 32 per cent use the tumble dryer when the washing line could be used
* 28 per cent have the central heating on in an empty house
* 22 per cent turn up the thermostat instead of reaching for a jumper

Clarksville Roofing Contractor – Roof Replacement and Repair
If you are searching for a professional roofing contractor that stands behind their work, Mimms Roofing and Water Restoration in Clarksville is the company for you. Offering professional
Roofing Services
to the Middle Tennessee and Southern Kentucky areas for over 20 years, Mimms has earned an unmatched reputation for superior quality workmanship for both
Residential roof repair
and water restoration. Also offering Emergency Roofing Repairs and Rebuilds, Mimms is on call 24/7 for all your emergency roofing and water damage.
New Roof Installation
Your roof is made out of many components: water-proofing and water-resistant underlays, shingles, ventilation, and curb-appeal components. So how do you choose each component of your future roof, and how can you be sure they are all built to last? Simple: ask a roofer!
A quality roofer will explain your options and make sure you're getting the best product for your budget. They can tell you whether it's better to repair your existing roof or install a brand new roof, which kind of roof will last the longest, and which is the best underlayment to protect leaks. A quality roofer will take pride in their work and will make sure you are aware of all your roofing options, which may include asphalt composition shingles, clay tiles, slate, wood shingles, thatch, or built-up roofing. Keep in mind that the best shingle in the world, if not installed properly, won't uphold its quality.
To be sure you're working with reputable professionals, talk to your local roofing company. Ask them questions. What kind of warranty do they offer? What kind of reviews do they have from prior clients? Are they licensed, bonded, and insured?
Make sure the company has been in business for several years and has a high ranking with the Better Business Bureau. According to the BBB, a legitimate roofing company should be able to provide local references and roofing testimonials, a business license, credentials, workers compensation insurance, general liability insurance, and written manufacturer warranties.
Choosing a roofer and roofing materials can be overwhelming, especially in the beginning. Don't let it be! Mimms Roofing and Water Restoration Services has been serving its Middle Tennessee and Southern Kentucky communities for more than 20 years. Call Mark Mimms today at (931) 980-7916.
Five Common Causes of Roof Leaks
It's important to detect roof leaks as early as possible to avoid serious roof damage, but finding the source of the problem isn't always easy. If you notice a leak – usually evident by water stains on the ceiling – you should start by determining its underlying cause.
How old is your existing roof? Roofing materials deteriorate with age and become less effective at keeping water out as time goes on. Weather conditions and temperature fluctuations, including exposure to sunlight, can also cause roofing materials to break down over time. You'll also want to know whether your roof was ever replaced or repaired, and if so, how many layers of shingles are currently present.
Flashing is used to seal roof transitions where water absorption may occur, and is placed wherever a chimney meets the roof and around the edges of skylights. These flashing sections may slide out of place if nails are missing, or the caulk may become dry and brittle over time, causing it to crack. If your flashing is made of roof cement or tar, you'll likely want to replace it with something more long-term water resistant.
Missing Shingles:
Are you missing shingles from your roof? While it may not look like it from your vantage point, getting up on a latter to inspect the roof in its entirety is the only way to know for sure – and for safety reasons, we recommend only professionals try this!
Did you hire a quality roofer to install your roof? The International Building Code has set regulations for roof slopes, and if your materials were not appropriate for the roof pitch, or were installed sloppily, wind can lift the shingles and drive rain underneath.
Gutter Backup:
Clogged gutters are common culprits of roof leaks. Built up leaves and dirt cause extra stress on the roof, resulting in water backups and soaked-through shingles. You can avoid having this happen by scheduling professional cleanings throughout the year.
Regular maintenance inspections can help you catch a problem before it starts. If you've noticed your roof leaking, take action now to prevent further damage. Schedule an inspection with Mimms Roofing and Water Restoration today! Call Mark Mimms at (931) 980-7916.
Roof Repair
Figuring out whether you need a complete roof replacement or a less-invasive repair depends on a few factors. And while reroofing can save time and money, it's not always best.
Incompatible shingles, bad decking, too many layers, and overall poor condition are all signs you may need a full roof replacement. But even if none of these signs are present, damage is often found under what appears to be a perfectly good roof. And if the damages aren't rectified, they'll continue to rot under the new roof and shorten the life of the brand new surface.
So, when should you reroof? If the existing roof on your house is only one layer and there are no problems with the roof deck, you probably won't need a brand new roof. But if you have two layers and try to put a third on, you could run into structural damage and safety hazards, not to mention potential permit restrictions.
As part of your research, find out what materials were used when the roof was first constructed. Asphalt shingles, for example, are easier but more expensive to re-roof than metal. Take a look at the pitch of your home, as this makes a difference and will play a big part in the cost of time and labor. If your home is one-story with a low pitch, you'll have an easier (and less expensive) time reroofing than if you had a two-story home with a steep pitch.
Have an attic? If so, you'll want to pay special attention to ventilation with a reroof. Be sure not to cover up the attic fan or leave holes where the temperature could flux dramatically.
While it's good to know your options, it's always best to find a professional roofer that stands behind their work. Mimms Roofing and Water Restoration offers quality roofing services and can answer any questions you may have about new roofs and reroofing. Call Mark Mimms today at (931) 980-7916.

God I'm so far behind the times! I still haven't played my Mass Effect 1 disc yet. I always swore I'd never want to commit all those hours to the game... But then I crumbled and bought a pre-owned copy for about £7.
That was about three months ago and it remains in it's box to this day...
Got to have at least played the first one before ME3 comes out! Still, as I'm only just getting to grips with Zelda Ocarina of Time 13 years after it's original release, I might not make it! - 2:28 AM, August 27, 2011

A set of tensile tests has been carried out under air environment in the temperature range (450–700 C) in order to characterize the interactions between oxidation assisted intergranular cracking and Portevin–Le Chatelier effect. It is shown that the occurrence of jerky flow stops the intergranular damaging mechanism. The construction of a temperature versus strain rate diagram showing dynamic strain aging, intergranular fracture and PLC instabilities locations is then proposed. The surprising relation between crack initiation disappearance and PLC instabilities of type C in the temperature range explored is discussed. Finally the assumption of the occurrence of such phenomenon at the tip of a propagating crack is addressed.

Juande Ramos remains on course for an unprecedented three successive UEFA Cup triumphs after Tottenham Hotspur FC went to Belgium and picked up the point they needed to assure qualification from Group G.
Tottenham through
Ramos, who has tasted success with Sevilla FC in the past two seasons, saw his side come back from behind against RSC Anderlecht when Dimitar Berbatov scored a penalty in the 71st minute after they had fallen behind to a Bart Goor effort just three minutes earlier. While the English side are now assured of a last-32 place the Belgian champions must now win their final game, against Getafe CF in a fortnight, to guarantee progress.
Final repeat
The match was the first meeting of the sides since Tottenham had prevailed in the 1984 final. It began at a high tempo with both teams showing attacking intent despite the driving rain in Brussels. Chances were at a premium, though, with only two attempts on target in the opening half hour – a low Jermaine Jenas effort for Tottenham followed by a shot from just outside the penalty area at the other end from Nicolas Frutos.
Goor opener
Anderlecht ended the half the stronger with Paul Robinson forced into the first serious save two minutes before the interval to keep out Marcin Wasilewski's drive. And after chances at either end early in the second period for Robbie Keane and Frutos, the home side broke the deadlock as Goor took advantage of an error by Michael Dawson to poke the ball in.
Berbatov calm
Within three minutes Tottenham restored parity, however. Jenas was felled by Jelle Van Damme and substitute Berbatov was calmness personified as he sent Daniel Zítka the wrong way from the penalty spot. Anderlecht might still have stolen the points when Robinson reacted smartly to keep out Cyril Théréau, but Tottenham held on to move into the next stage.
