Friday Football Thread
Spurs battle back from 2 goals down to earn a draw at home against Spartak Moscow, Luka Modric finally among the scorers. Man City were taken apart by Racing Santander in a 3-1 defeat. Both sides join Aston Villa in the next round of the UEFA Cup. The Champions League draw will be made at 11am today and could throw up some interesting ties.
Man Utd beat Gamba Osaka 5-3 yesterday morning to seal their place in this weekend's final. A great, open and entertaining game of football but perhaps not the best advert considering FIFA want the tournament to become serious business.
Portsmouth's Lauren has claimed Defoe will rejoin Spurs in January and Glen Johnson will also leave, Sevilla's Luis Fabiano is being linked with Chelsea, Juventus are rumoured to be preparing a bid for Liverpool's Daniel Agger and Ryan Babel, Steve Finnan is looking for a return to England and Owen looks set to make a decision on a new Newcastle contract in the next 48 hours.
Derbyshire Senior Cup Results
Belper Town 8 - 1 Parkhouse (81)
Matlock Town 3 - 1 Glapwell (149)
149 for a county cup tie?
That's amazing!
Originally I thought those were the minutes that all the goals were scored in.
For that to happen they would have to have had
goalkicks as re-starts.
I think that's an official rule in the Derbyshire Senior Cup.
There are no offsides either, and you can score directly off the tree.
Out of curiosity what teams take part in this cup?
All the big ones
Heanor Town 0-1 Stapenhill
Sandiacre Town 1-2 South Normanton Athletic
Shirebrook Town 6-1 Graham St Prims
Bolsover Town 2-3 Mickleover Sports
Pinxton 0-1 Borrowash Victoria
Holbrook MW 3-1 Long Eaton United
New Mills 2-3 Matlock Town
2nd Round
Buxton 9-0 Blackwell Miners Welfare
Glapwell 1-0 Shirebrook Town
Gresley Rovers 3-1 Staveley Miners Welfare
Ilkeston Town 4-1 Borrowash Victoria
Mickleover Sports 1-3 Alfreton Town
Belper Town 2-1 Glossop North End
South Normanton Athletic 0-3 Matlock Town
Holbrook Miners Welfare 3-5 Stapenhill
I'd love that to be a shout at their games. A mate of mine used to live just outside Longnor, it amazes me that there's enough flat land in Derbyshire for so many teams.
Also, Glossop North End???!
THE NORTH END! (clap clap clap) THE NORTH END! (clap clap clap)
There's a lot of Mining Welfare in that list.
^ this :(
my old hometown
i was at the first round shirebrook game
an uncle and two of my parents neighbours play for them. was a very fun game.
My brother now reckons he's got a "source" at Peterborough United
And that we've agreed fees for Izale McLeod and Chris Dickson from Charlton, and are now trying to thrash out terms.
I'd be happy with either of those.
Ha Ha, not quite.
He didn't quite say it was a 'done deal'
They'd both be really good signings at this level, although I think there are areas that need to be strengthened first.
Second favourites?!
That's a good one, keep telling them.
by all accounts, and I do MEAN all accounts
you were taken apart last night though. are you disputing this?
I'll see your Skybet, and raise you Bet365
AC Milan - 4/1
Valencia - 10/1
Zenit St Petersburg - 11/1
Man City/Tottenham/Standard Liege - 12/1
Frankly I don't much care about odds
I would not put a team in the form Man City are in as second bloody favourites in this competition.
It was hideously depressing to read they'd only won one game in the last eight or something, and that was them stuffing us out of sight. God, we're poor...
To be honest
any English side in a European competition is going to have artificially short odds thanks to the weight of money.
I also note the fact that despite their good form in the CL in recent years
English teams havn't really done that well in the UEFA Cup at all.
In those 90 minutes of football
the 11 men RS fielded tore apart the 11 men Man City fielded. That simple really.
Alex Ferguson says that he "wouldn't sell Real a virus"
Is that what passes for wit these days? I fucking hate the Ferguson quotes and all the ill-founded self awareness that beams from them. This one is no "sqeaky bum time" and that's saying something. Why doesn't the horrible reptillian old stone just fuck off and die?
Brilliant, brilliant manager, possibly the best ever
but an absolute waste of oxygen, energy and general intangible energy that gives life. I really wish he'd keep to his promise and just not talk to the media ever.
I don't think he was trying to be witty
In fact, he sounded like he was downright angry - and not fake angry like he gets when ref decisions "go" against him
o right so he must've just got his phrases mixed up
he was trying to say something like "Van der Sar couldn't catch a virus" and "I wouldn't sell Real Van der Sar" at the same time and got mixed up.
Don't sit too close
you may catch something.
He has every right to eb angry
and FIFA need to act on Madrid - they get away with far too much. My respect for Ferguson has gron 10 fold over the last few years. He is simply the greatest manager many of us will ever see.
Madrid's conduct and Ferguson's managerial brilliance aside
why can't he just shut up? it angers me to hear him talk on any subject. He believes his own hype (not ill-founded) so much that he thinks he is THE authority on any subject and to think or say otherwise is nothing but heresy. It sets a bad example on issues like referee decisions and more pressingly, makes me want to smash my TV in to tiny pieces.
when he goes on about referees and why his team don't get anything, it is EXTREMELY annoying, and I suppose I have overlooked that somewhat. I just hate Real Madrid.
but even as a fan of a club where Fergie likes to do most of his tapping up, Real are a sent of cunts even by Fergurson's standards, and his comments made me smile.
yeah, and Berbatov as well. It does reek of hypocrisy a bit.
when I think about it, I don't know why I am sticking up for him apart from a deep rooted hatred of Madrid.
Harry Redknapp
says Gilberto has 'no way back for him at this club' which, while fair, seemed a little too candid in the context, poor bloke.
The papers are making out that we were lucky yesterday, which seems a tad harsh, seeings as if we'd lost we'd still have gone through, and we dominated the same amount of the match as Spartak. Pft. Still. Mark Hughes better hurry up and stop his lot being shit cause I like him.
I'm just surprised
because, you know, after Eboue got booed, we got lambasted for it. It's something I never thought spurs fans would do.
We pay good money to blah blah blah blah
understandably so
you mean the team or Gilberto?
My point was the papers seem to suggest we scraped through, when we'd tied the game by 75 minutes, so there was no last minute heroics, we gifted them both goals pretty much.
That said, Udinese did lose, so we did need the point, but the second half suggested that wasnt really a problem.
worst news of the day
gary megson prepared to let kevin davies leave to join big sam at blackburn.
dear sam (i am of course correctly guessing that you are on the DiS boards somewhere),
please do not sign kevin davies. i believe i speak for all blackburn fans when i suggest that he is actually our most hated player ever. £7.5 million for two goals does not make him a hero by any stretch. taken in context, he only scored one more goal than per pedersen, half the number of goals which martin dahlin notched, and the same number as giorios 'goals' donis.
don't let him be your robbie fowler.
many thanks,
hopeful rovers fan of manchester
Don't forget that Beattie went to Southampton as part of that deal...
Blackburn signed some AWFUL strikers round then like Ashley Ward and Nathan Blake for far too much money.
Ashley Ward
lives a life of luxury for being oen of the worst strikers in history.
There, I said it.
You're all cunts.
Ashley Ward is brilliant. Him, Chris Sutton and Lee Chapman are the three best strikers in top flight football ever.
I had a dream the other night
where I for some reason had secured the signing of Ashley Ward for Tottenham, despite his 'dad' Graham Taylor trying to convince me that his 'son' wasn't up to the task.
i had a soft spot for. we always played him our of position. he was signed as this big name centre forward, but he never played that position in italy. yes he scored goals, but from the left wing. he was never going to get a game on our wing because we had super duff in full flow.
Cue BIGSAM troll
who is suspiciously similar to BRIAN_BLESSED.
as a bolton fan
i really, really, reeeeeeeeeeally hope this is bullsh*t. SKD is a Bolton legend, always will be. You don't want him, I don't want him to leave. Ifhe did leave, then the fans really would turn on megson imho.
Kevin Davies looks like
a younger version of Pat Butcher's car dealing ex Roy Evans off Eastenders.
Perhaps Big Sam thinks he'll be able to trouser a second hand Yaris as part of the deal.
Re. Alex Ferguson and his comments yesterday
Fuck off, 'Sir' Alex. After the arrogant and, in the rules of the game, illegal way you ended up getting Berbatov in the summer, nothing you ever complain about in regards to unsavoury transfer dealings will ever be taken seriously
The hypocrisy of that red-faced alcoholic walking corpse is so fucking annoying. And that stuff about Spurs the other day. "They got a good deal with Berbatov, so they need to shut up now". They need to shut up because they got a good deal, or because you paid them £5m to keep their mouths shut?
He is a massive hypocrite
But I'm still getting LOLs from a Real Madrid director saying to the press "Oh we've signed Ronaldo, but we had to sign an agreement to say we'd keep it secret, so keep it hush hush guys"
Away to Norwich this weekend
The first team squad are going paintballing, apparently. Likelihood of 'polystyrene bone man' Todorov getting injured: HIGH.

Should you become a personal corporation?
Should you become a personal corporation?
What is better for your business – a personal corporation or sole proprietorship? The short answer is it depends. For many small to medium business owners, incorporating yourself may seem like an extra cost. However, there are many benefits to incorporating yourself. Aside from signalling to the market that you are serious about your business, the benefits include insulating your personal life from business risk, optimizing your personal taxation and deferring income.
In Vancouver, it is extremely common to see people in the real estate sector working under personal corporations. Other common professions that find benefits in personal corporations are physicians, dentists, engineers and architects. All of these professions typically bring in big dollars, and spend less than they earn. In this case, a personal corporate will allow these people to keep their earnings in the business, away from taxation and will allow them to pay themselves in the most tax efficient manner.
Pros of personally incorporating
As touched on above, personal incorporation has a number of pros associated. The most important benefits of personal incorporation all relate to taxation. At the basic level, personally incorporating optimizes your tax rate if you are a high earner.
According to Brad Blair, a financial advisor in Vancouver,
By personally incorporating, you are able to shield your income from personal taxes. By keeping the bulk of your earnings invested in your personal corporation, you are able to defer income tax. This has huge benefits for individuals in the upper income brackets, who typically save more than they spend.
In addition, by running your earnings through your corporation you can choose the most tax efficient method of paying yourself. This can be through dividends, a salary or bonuses. All other earnings that you do not need to spend can be parked in your corporation.
Additionally, incorporating allows you to sell shares of your company. This has the obvious benefit of opening a new revenue line for yourself, as you grow your business. As you move towards retirement, having the option to sell off parts of your business can help you grow your retirement income and make the transition process even smoother.
For individuals just starting a business that have yet to earn large amounts, personally incorporating has some benefits as well – the ability to insulate yourself against business risk. Personal corporations enjoy what is known as limited liability. This means that if any actions are raised against the company in question, your personal net worth is shielded from legal claims.
All of these benefits are great for business owners and should be considered by any high-income earner. However, nothing comes without drawbacks, so here are the Cons of personal incorporation.
Cons of personal incorporation
The #1 drawback of personal incorporation is the costs. There are legal fees and registration fees, which can run upwards of $2,000 in Canada. Registering a name is $30 in British Columbia, and incorporating the business costs $300. Once you mix in legal fees to ensure that everything is in order, the costs can be much higher.
Technically you can incorporate yourself for $1,000 but it is usually well worth the extra money to hire a lawyer and an accountant to ensure that everything is correct.
Operating a personal corporation also costs more money as well. You need to file paperwork, including separate tax filings, income statements, share files and other notices. There is no doubt that operating as a personal corporation steps up the level of complexity of operating your business.
Additionally, you are limited in the losses that you are able to claim. You are no longer able to personally claim your losses – just as your liability is limited to the amount that you invested, so are your claims to losses. This means that if your business is failing, you are not able to write off your losses for that year beyond what you had invested.
When to personally incorporate?
It becomes worthwhile to begin considering to personally incorporate once your after tax earning raise above $90,000 a year. There are some benefits to incorporating before that point if you are operating a unique business model that may have some legal risk attached. Some Internet start-ups for example may want to consider incorporating early if they fear that they may be encroaching on a legal grey zone.
If you are making above $90,000 you are nearing the top tax brackets in Canada and will be able to find significant tax efficiencies by incorporating. Additionally, at that level it is likely that you are not spending most of your earnings and thus, paying personal income tax at the highest bracket on those earnings is not tax efficient. Personally incorporating will allow you to segment your income into smaller tax brackets and save you money in the long run.

text: Frequently Asked Questions You can find the answers to some commonly asked questions about our Child Trust Fund below. If you have any questions that are not answered here, please contact us. About the Child Trust Fund Can I still open a Foresters Friendly Society Child Trust Fund? We no longer accept Child Trust Fund applications, however we do offer another savings plan which can be used to save for your child's future - our Child Tax Exempt Savings Plan. Can I transfer an existing Child Trust Fund into the Foresters Friendly Society Child Trust Fund? We no longer accept transfers into our Child Trust Fund. Why are you no longer selling the Child Trust Fund? Since the Government's decision to discontinue Child Trust Fund policies after 1 January 2011, and the reduction in the value of the voucher from 1st August 2010, we took the decision to stop offering the Child Trust Fund in order to protect the interests of our existing policyholders. Is my existing Ethical Child Trust Fund or Teddy Trust Child Trust Fund affected? No, the policies that have been taken out will not be affected by the closure to new Child Trust Fund applications. All the terms and conditions that apply to the policy will be honoured and we still aim to add annual bonuses to your child's Trust Fund year on year and a possible final bonus when the plan matures on your child's 18th birthday. The addition of any bonus is not guaranteed. What other children's savings policies do you have that can be taken out in place of the Child Trust Fund? We provide a Child Tax Exempt Savings Plan which is only available through Friendly Societies. This is a tax efficient savings plan that allows you to pay regular premiums - between £15 and £25 a month, into the plan for a fixed term. This means that you decide when you want the plan to mature for your child or grandchild (after the child's 16th birthday and subject to a minimum term of 10 years). Is there any intention to sell on your existing Child Trust Fund policies to another provider? No, we recognise the importance of having younger generations joining and benefiting from membership to the Society. We currently have no plans to sell the policies on to another provider. What happens to Child Trust Fund accounts after 2 January 2011? Children born after 2 January 2011 will not be eligible to open a Child Trust Fund account. Accounts already set up for eligible children will continue to benefit from tax efficient investment growth and no withdrawals will be possible until the child reaches 18 years old. The child's friends and family will still be able to contribute up to an overall total of £4,260 a year, and it will still be possible to change the type of account and/or move it to another provider. If you want to pay in more than £4,260 per year, or your child is not eligible for a Child Trust Fund, our Child Tax Exempt Savings Plan can be taken out to further maximise your child's savings. Child Tax Exempt Savings Plans are only available through Friendly Societies and offer a tax efficient savings plan that allows you to pay regular premiums of between £15 and £25 a month, into the plan for a fixed term. This means that you decide when you want the plan to mature for your child or grandchild (after the child's 16th birthday and subject to a minimum term of 10 years). Payments and access to the plan Can I continue to top up my Ethical Child Trust Fund or Teddy Trust Child Trust Fund? Yes. The plan conditions are currently unchanged which means you can continue to pay in up to £4,260 a year for your child. Top ups can also continue to be made by friends and family. Is there a limit on the amount of top ups? Yes. The total amount of top ups from all sources must not exceed £4,260 per year. It is the responsibility of the person who opened the Fund to ensure that total contributions do not exceed £4,260 per year. If you want to pay in more than £4,260 per year, our Child Tax Exempt Savings Plan can be taken out as well as a Child Trust Fund to further maximise the child's savings. Who can make contributions into the Child Trust Fund? Family, friends, godparents - and anyone else who wishes to - can contribute to the Child Trust Fund. For example, as a birthday or Christmas gift for the child. How will the government make the extra payment at my child's seventh birthday? Government contributions at age 7 have stopped for children whose 7th birthday falls after 31 July 2010. For more information on the Government contributions, please visit the Child Trust Fund section of the Government's website. Can my child access the money in their Child Trust Fund before they reach 18? No. The Child Trust Fund is designed to offer a financial head start when the child becomes an adult by providing a cash payment when they turn 18 years old. Under the Government changes, this will remain the same - no withdrawals will be permitted until the child turns 18. Can I have access to the money? No. All the money in the Child Trust Fund belongs to your child and is locked in until they reach 18. Do I have control over the money? Until your child reaches 16 you control the investments held in the Child Trust Fund. From 16, your child can control the Child Trust Fund if they wish to. Are there any restrictions on how the money can be spent? No. The money belongs to your child and at 18 they are entitled to spend it how they wish. Returns on the plan How does the Child Trust Fund have the potential for growth? Your Child Trust Fund voucher and any additional contributions made are invested in Foresters Friendly Society's with profits Order Insurance Fund, with the Ethical Child Trust Fund only being invested in the ethical section of this Fund, which provides your child's plan with the potential for growth by way of bonuses rather than interest payments. Annual bonuses and a final bonus may be added to the value of the Child Trust Fund depending on the future investment performance and deductions of the with profits Order Insurance Fund and how we decide to distribute any profit. The addition of bonuses is not guaranteed and it is possible that the Child Trust Fund might not receive any annual and/or final bonus. Where is the money invested? Any money paid into the Child Trust Fund is invested in Foresters Friendly Society's with profits Order Insurance Fund, with the Ethical Child Trust Fund only being invested in the ethical section of this Fund. Here, we manage your money, alongside other investors' money. We spread all the money paid into the fund across a number of different types of assets that may include property, UK government bonds, equities and cash. If the return from any one particular asset type is poor, the investment may be protected from the full impact of this fall as other assets forming part of the overall investment may perform better. What interest does the Child Trust Fund have? The Child Trust Fund does not pay interest. Instead, the with profits Order Insurance Fund provides your plan with the potential for growth, by way of bonuses. How do bonuses work? At the end of each year, we aim to declare an annual bonus, based on how the fund performs and the costs incurred. In addition, when the Child Trust Fund matures, we may add a final bonus based on the overall investment growth achieved and expenses incurred. This is different from a Bank or Building Society account where interest is added, because any growth on the investment with Foresters depends on the performance of the underlying fund. Although in some investment conditions the growth in the Child Trust Fund might not be as much as that on an interest-paying account, investing in this way means there is the potential for growth over and above the level which might be achieved on interest-paying accounts. The addition of bonuses is not guaranteed and therefore it is possible that your Child Trust Fund might not receive any annual and/or final bonus. Tax and the plan What about tax? One of the best things about this plan is that the payment your child receives is free of Capital Gains Tax and Income Tax, so there's even more money for your child. Like NISAs the tax is automatically deducted from UK share dividends. Please be aware that tax rules might change and depend on individual circumstances. Would a child really be paying tax on an account? It's worth bearing in mind when looking at savings options that a young adult may be earning and paying tax when the Child Trust Fund matures at age 18. The Child Trust Fund ensures that the child is exempt from tax on the lump sum pay-out. There's a common myth that children don't pay tax - that's simply not true. In fact, children are taxed in the same way as adults. Each child can, in the 2018/2019 tax year, benefit from up to £11,850 tax-free income and, depending on the total taxable income, up to £1,000 in tax-free savings income. Most children don't use up their allowance, so their savings interest is tax-free. But there's also the proviso that any interest earned on money specifically given to them by a parent is only tax-free up to £100 interest a year, per parent or step-parent, beyond which all interest is taxed at the parent's rate. Please be aware that tax rules might change and depend on individual circumstances. About Foresters Friendly Society Who is Foresters Friendly Society? Foresters Friendly are a mutual society, founded in 1834 by ordinary people with a common purpose - to support each other through financial and other difficulties. We've been looking after our members, and their finances, for over 180 years, offering care and protection through relevant affordable financial products. Since 1834 our aim has been to be open, approachable, honest and fair, treating all our members as individuals. We always put the interests of our members first. How safe is my child's money? You'll be pleased to hear that our funds have grown steadily over the years and our financial position remains strong. (Source: Reports & Accounts 2017). However, note that past performance is not a guide to the future. However, if in the unlikely event that Foresters Friendly Society were to be declared insolvent, you would be able to make a claim under the Financial Services Compensation Scheme. About Friendly Societies What is a Friendly Society? Friendly Societies have been around for hundreds of years. They were founded on the idea of mutuality - that if a group of people contributed to a mutual fund, an individual within the group could benefit in a time of need. The principles still apply - friendly societies are owned by, and operate in the interests of, their members. Unlike public limited companies, they use revenues to the benefit of their members rather than distributing profits to their shareholders. How do Mutuals perform, compared to PLCs? With no shareholders to answer to, mutual societies can ensure their profits are only used for their members' benefits by sharing this amongst members, or re-investing to provide potentially better returns, better value or higher levels of service. Over the last 10 years, the average mutual with-profits policy produced 29% more than an equivalent from a PLC insurer – that's around £11,400 more after 25 years for a £50 per month policy. (Source: Association of Financial Mutuals: AFM Key facts about mutual insurers and friendly societies June 2015) What is a Mutual? UK financial organisations are either authorised by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) or the Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA) and can be regulated by one or both regulators, and are either mutuals or public limited companies (PLCs). Unlike a PLC, a mutual organisation has no external shareholders to pay in the form of dividends and does not seek to make large profits or capital growth. Mutual organisations are owned and run for the benefit of their members and their profits are usually re-invested for the benefit of members, although some may be used for internal finance to ensure the mutual is sustainable, safe and secure. Today, UK mutuals account for over £116 billion in revenue every year and 1 in 3 people in the UK are a member of at least one mutual. (Source: The Mid-Term Mutuals Manifesto 2013 and the Mutual 2013 Yearbook) Membership and Extras I read somewhere about benefits - but I imagine I pay for those somewhere? When you take out one of our policies or plans, you automatically become a member of Foresters. As a mutual, we don't have to answer to external shareholders. Instead, we use all our profits to benefit our members. All Foresters customers can take advantage of Foresters Extras, a range of benefits we offer at no additional cost. Do I get any additional benefits as a Foresters customer? All our customers benefit from Foresters Extras, a range of benefits we offer at no additional cost. Help and support Where can I get help? For help and support, please contact Foresters Friendly Society. Child Trust Fund - Foresters Extras >> Top Up Now

Real estate investing can be capital intensive. Sometimes you need money to do more deals or to get your deal to a level that you can make money off of it. When you need money, and if you don't want to go through the typical bank-sourced lending, then you might want to borrow from hard […]

Where do you think the World's most expensive airport parking is?
It's one of those annoying charges that get you even if you only want to be there for 5 minutes. Short term parking is often the killer. You can't circle around, stop in the way or wait in the taxi queue hoping to stay unnoticed…
Unfortunately for the Brits, some of the most expensive airport parking in the world is in England and Scotland. Australia, Spain, Ireland and America make appearances on the list too.
Topping the list is Heathrow Airport at £12 peak time charge for short stay between 1-2 hours at Terminal 4. Heathrow is closely followed by it's other London airports, Gatwick and Stansted at £10 for a 2 hour stay.
These prices tower over other major international airports such as New York's JSK (£5.50) and Charles De Gaulle in Paris (£6.60). Airports in Greece have also been found to host some of the cheaper airports with a short-term stay at Athens International costing only £5.40 for two hours.
Heathrow – £12
Luton – £11
Sydney – £11
Gatwick – £10
Stansted – £10
Glasgow – £9
Edinburgh – £8.90
Madrid – £7.94
Belfast – £7.50
Los Angeles – £7
Paris – £6.60
Milan – £6.60
New York – £5.50
Athens – £5.40
The problem remains that airports don't want cars piled up around the airport and will try to encourage passengers toward public transport (as Heathrow bosses defended their prices reiterated), but are these prices just ridiculous if that isn't an option?
What do you think?

We've talked about internet porn here before. When this article came up, I thought it would be interesting to discuss:
Here's a quote:
Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Russia reportedly described the Internet as a hotbed of sin and temptation, and said that monks who forsake worldly pleasures in real life should do likewise on the Internet.
However, speaking at the Zograf Monastery at Mount Athos, he also urged priests, who live in the community and are allowed to marry, to use the Internet more actively in the course of their holy mission, Russian media reported.
A later clarification was issued stating that the Patriarch was not implying that monks were watching porn. What he was talking about was the bigger issue.
We tend to focus on the 'sin' of the internet in terms of just porn, but I think the problem is more significant. The internet has been very helpful is playing into one of the major symptoms of addiction: impatience.
The internet makes everything available to us virtually instantaneously. We have no time to think or to even process what we are seeing and reading. I have watched internet religious forums explode with fire as people read too quickly and misunderstand what others wrote, only to turn a mole-hill into Mt. Everest. I've even done it a few times myself.
We send an email and expect an instant response. Smart-phones make this even worse.
Monks are supposed to slow down and examine their thoughts. How can they when they get on the internet?
Yet, the Church needs to have an internet presence, because this is where the people are. We married clergy are expected to dive into battles that monks cannot. We usually assume that monks are superior in all ways to lay people. Honest monks will tell you that this is far from the case: most monks will tell you that they can't handle the temptations that the average Christian struggles with.
It is not about who is better or more authentic. It is about helping people. Monks help people in their own way that is unique to them, and likewise for married clergy.
And, BOTH need to be careful with the internet. The only real difference is that married clergy are already battling with the world and cannot avoid the internet as another 'front' in the campaign. It is a fast-pitched fight here in the modern world.
Monks don't need to tear down their carefully-honed skills of patience. In fact, they would do us all a favor by avoiding the internet so we can see what real patience looks like. All of us must be cautious in discerning when we are operating out of impatience or merely trying to keep up with this fast-pace world.

Foundations are effective vehicles for families who want to make a collective philanthropic impact now and for generations to come. Traditionally, foundations have achieved this impact solely through strategic grantmaking. A growing number of foundations are looking for ways to go further, however. These foundations seek strategies that will allow them to deploy their investment portfolios – in addition to grantmaking – to advance their charitable missions without hurting the value of their endowments long-term. One such strategy, using "mission-related investments" or MRIs, is trending in the press and at sector conferences, but most foundation directors and trustees have yet to jump on its bandwagon. New guidance from the IRS may change that.

SNAPSHOTS: The woman at the cafe
The woman at the café
She orders a skinny latte and settles herself at a corner table, overlooking the honey stones of St Martin's and the aluminium-bubbles of Selfridges. She rises again – as if an afterthought – and unbuttons her knee-length coat, revealing a dark striped skirt-suit. Underneath, a marigold blouse, its frills spill out of her suit-jacket, which she also unfastens, removes, and hangs over her coat. Taking her seat again – cross-legged and boasting three-inch heels – she rummages through a large leather handbag and pulls out a mini-glossy: Vogue. Her latte arrives and she caresses the mug absent-mindedly, while flicking through the magazine. After a few minutes, she takes a delicate sip. I notice her face, heart-shaped; it whispers that she's forty-something. The mannequin-stretch of skin over sinew declares a daily gym routine – more Esporta babe, than L.A. Fitness.
Suddenly, her phone rings. I recognise the Escala signature ringtone. Half closing her magazine, she picks up the call. Leaning into the phone, her long hair falls around her shoulders in cascades of chestnut-brown. She listens, and then responds. As the conversation continues, she has stopped taking sips from her drink and begins to tap the table edge, as if playing an imaginary keyboard; her nails are neat, well-manicured. The call ends and her fingers freeze. There is a strange look on her face, tight – somewhat agitated. Her blue eyes have darkened. They turn and stare out of the glass panes. The evening sun has faded inviting the shadows, so I cannot tell what it is she is looking at – if anything. She remains rigid for several seconds. Then, without warning, she collects her bag for a second time, from the floor, and begins to search for something. She empties its contents on the table, around her drink, and on top of the now abandoned magazine. A couple of things fall to the floor: a lipstick, an inhaler. She lets out a curse under her breath as she retrieves them. She starts to inspect each object, paying close attention to the paper items. Halfway through, she pauses – opens up a slim glasses-case and puts on her designer pair before carrying on with her search. Her lips are pursed. When the waiter comes to ask if she wants anything more – she is abrupt, with a terse nod of her head. After many minutes of frantic movement, she stops. Her whole body visibly shakes and she allows her bowed head to be cushioned in her hands. She doesn't make a sound but her trembling body tells the story of someone awash with some curious grief. After a time, as if remembering her public surroundings, she straightens herself and picks up a napkin. With it, she wipes her eyes and blows her nose. Her breathing calm again, she tidies her face using a small decorative mirror – a gift from her mother, or a lover? She touches up her pale cheeks with a foundation brush and applies some lipstick, strawberry-rouge. By this time, she is sporting a forced smile. Raising one hand to the air she motions to the waiter. I think she is going to request the bill, instead she asks for another skinny latte.

Wow, nicely done Catherine. So sad though. A lesson that if we were to really pay attention to the world around we could see the different textures of emotions - pain, love, hate, joy - that lives amongst us. I, for one, walk dreamily along day after day absorbed in my own thoughts. I wonder how many have watched me and wondered what story my face and body told that day.
I liked this very much. I liked the story - so well written - and I liked how you came about the story. A definite lesson here for this wanderlust spirit whose Muse sometimes does not wish to visit. :)

of this comes from your inner

I like all the details and the way she moves, and I think your assumptions added more emotions to the piece and it seem to be just what she was thinking, you've captured her so perfectly
I feel like I am right there, sitting where you are and watching the same scene, I wonder would I write the same thing if I had written this

Hello Catherine
This piece is amazing, I felt as if I had been sitting in that cafe watching her alongside you!
Thanks so much for stopping by my blog and for your lovely comment.
I often people watch too...and then try and put their emotions into a poem :)
Also I want to wish you the best of luck in your pursuit of raising awareness for AIDS/HIV. That is a fantastic cause to put your wonderful talent to :)

Ms. Catherine
The story opens like the opening of the door of a large and stalely building, a castle with nice sight-seeing inside. Here is the smell of the things to come :
1 She rises again – as if an afterthought..
2 I notice her face, heart-shaped;
it whispers that she's forty-something.
The it runs with literary richness:
A couple of things fall to the floor: a lipstick, an inhaler.
(One polite suggestion: if you mention here the color of the lipstick, a lady needing an inhaler would be using, it would have been more telling about the character of the lady involved.)
This space is utterly small to tell what I felt while reading the piece of writing here.
(By the way I am glad to know that I am on your reading list. We shall keep meeting here.)

It's wonderful that although you clearly interpret the character uniquely and give the scene emotion, you stay somehow objective enough to keep the reader an observer through your eyes.
Does that make sense? lol. It's a complement anyway if it doesn't.
It's great to know there are so many people watchers out there (I'm assuming this from the above comments).
Thank you for commenting on my blog!

The grand opening of the exhibition with the title "Premiere!" on November 4th at the headquarters of the Volksbank in Gutersloh was a great success. The title was characteristic in more ways than one: 2013 was the first year that the Art Studio Kiebitzhof was able to offer a talent workshop for the employees of the sheltered workshops of the wertkreis Gutersloh. Budding artists who had participated in previous art courses of the studio and showed high potential were invited to develop their skills in a talent workshop. There was a wide selection of all kinds of materials to choose from. Some chose to specialize in acrylic paints, others used water colours, chalk or modelling clay.
Silke Theresia Zumbansen, the freelance artist who tutored the course, said in her opening words that most participants knew exactly what they wanted to do. She described their approach the following way: "It just had to come out!"
The exhibition, which presents the work of these specific seven artists, is a premiere in the sense that these artists have never exhibited together elsewhere. The grand opening took place on the 4th November 2013. A wonderfully mixed crowd attended the event, including for instance Monika Paskarbies, the deputy mayor of Gutersloh, as well as representatives of the supervisory board of the wertkreis Gutersloh, the Volksbank, the Andreas-Mohn-Foundation and other local politicians and entrepreneurs. Thanks to the financial support of the Andreas-Mohn-Foundation it was possible to buy picture frames and print posters and flyers to advertise the exhibition. Of course, the benefactor of the foundation and his wife, Andreas and Eva-Maria Mohn, attended the event as well and bought a number of the pictures that same evening.
The final reason to celebrate a premiere was the fact that this was the first time the Volksbank Gutersloh exhibited works of art from the Art Studio Kiebitzhof.
All the pictures were on display in the foyer of the Volksbank Gutersloh(Friedrich-Ebert-Str. 73-75, 33330 Gütersloh) from the 4th – 25th November 2013. All in all 19 of the 45 pictures on display were sold – a brilliant outcome for any exhibition! In case you are interested in the works of art after the closing of the exhibition, Barbara Ambrosy from the wertkreis Gutersloh (05241/ 9505-141) can give you further information or contact the artists.

AFP, BERLIN: Bosses of Germany's powerful car industry and top politicians meet yesterday on the fate of diesel engines, as the sector faces an existential threat after a colossal pollution cheating scandal and new allegations of collusion.
With major cities also eyeing partial bans on diesel vehicles to fight deadly smog, more than 800,000 jobs hang in the balance as carmakers desperately need a strategy.
Two months before a general election, both parties in Chancellor Angela Merkel's right-left grand ruling coalition are in no mood to mollycoddle an industry that is fast losing popularity.
Transport Minister Alexander Dobrindt, a member of Merkel's Bavarian allies CSU, said yesterday that "the automobile industry has steered itself onto difficult terrain".
"I find it dreadful that the 'Cars made in Germany' brand has been dragged into such a situation," he told Passauer Neue Presse daily.
Merkel was more nuanced, as she noted the huge number of jobs at stake.
"The car industry is of strategic importance ... it must be strong and innovative but also honest. So it's about criticising what needs to be criticised, but to do so while bearing in mind that it's a strategically important industry in Germany," said her spokeswoman Ulrike Demmer on Monday.
The first cracks in the oft-vaunted sector emerged in September 2015, when Volkswagen admitted installing illegal devices in millions of vehicles world-wide to rig pollution emissions readings.
But suspicions of similar cheating have since widened to other German carmakers, including Mercedes-Benz maker Daimler and BMW.
In July, Spiegel magazine heaped on further pressure as it published details of a VW letter to German and European competition authorities which it said showed that auto giants colluded on technology, suppliers, costs, sales and markets since the 1990s.
Adding to the clouds hanging over the industry, a court in Stuttgart—the home city of Mercedes and Porsche—ruled that only a partial ban on diesel vehicles would be effective at clearing the air of poisonous nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions.
Germany has already been warned by the European Commission over its air quality, and now public opinion is starting to swing in favour of outlawing diesel.
A survey commissioned by Greenpeace found that 57 per cent of Germans back such a ban in cities with poor air quality.
On Wednesday, Greenpeace activists hung a banner screaming "Welcome to Fort NOx" at the transport ministry as protesters marched outside, forcing organisers of the diesel meeting to move it to the interior ministry.
The problem is that the industry had plumped for diesel as it spews out less climate-altering carbon dioxide than petrol-burning motors.
While electric cars are viewed as green, electricity generation in Germany is not always clean—with some 40 per cent still stemming from coal.
For these reasons, Merkel herself has warned against "demonising diesel".
But the flip side of the technology is that it emits more NOx, contributing to the formation of smog and fine particles that cause respiratory and cardiac problems.
For now, Germany's auto giants are hoping to ward off a ban by offering software patches to cut harmful emissions, buying time as they ramp up electric car development.
Politicians at yesterday's meeting will demand industry to bear all costs of any technical fix and give incentives for car-owners to switch to cleaner models, sources told the news agency.
Some 15 million diesel vehicles are in circulation in Germany, and latest data show they are still popular—they made up 40.5 per cent of vehicles sold in July.
With general election due on September 24, the scandal has given additional ammunition to Merkel's challengers.
Former environment minister Juergen Trittin of the Greens accused the car industry and the government of collusion.
"At the head of the cartel is the chancellor," he charged.
Both industry and politics are to blame in the view of Stefan Bratzel from the Center of Automotive Management, based outside of the western city of Cologne.
While carmakers had hurt themselves through their emissions cheating, "the culture of looking the other way and years of talks that are only symbolic have also indirectly hurt the automobile industry hard," said Bratzel.

North Korea has fired three short-range ballistic missiles into waters off its east coast, South Korean and U.S. military report.
The U.S. military said the missile launches appear to have failed, exploding in flight or immediately after take-off. They also said the launches posed no threat to Guam or North America, Fairfax media reports.
"The first and third missiles at 11.49 am and 12.19 pm failed in flight. The second missile launch at 12.07 pm appears to have blown up almost immediately," U.S. Pacific Command said.
According to Sky News, the Joint Chiefs of Staff initially described the object as an "unidentified projectile," saying it was launched from the eastern region of Gangwon.
South Korea's Yonhap news agency and Japan's Kyodo news service said it may have been a ballistic missile. The agencies did not cite source, Sky News reports.
The news comes just hours after Japan imposed tough new sanctions against North Korea following the reclusive country's repeated missile launches.
South Korean Office of the Joint Chiefs of Staff said the projectiles flew in a northeasterly direction. #9News https://t.co/CNiZ6QdMDk— Nine News Australia (@9NewsAUS) August 25, 2017
US officials have previously said they believe that North Korea has the capacity to launch a missile that could reach Alaska and there have even been suggestions it could hit northern Australia.
US intelligence officials are said to believe that North Korea is close to completing a nuclear weapon that could be attached to an ICBM.
In the wake of growing concerns over several recent missile launches, US President Donald Trump has sought to work with China to quash North Korea's nuclear program.
Trump has reportedly grown frustrated with Chinese President Xi Jinping's unwillingness to increase pressure on the North, which has close historical ties with China.

Peanuts And Cracker Jacks [VIDEO]
The boys of summer are playing their game and the Texas Rangers are off to a 5 and 0 start. Not only are fans cheering for their favorite teams, they are also singing the song of baseball.
"Take Me Out To The Ballgame was written in 1908 and now the Library of Congress will preserve it for posterity. It's the anthem of America's favorite pastime and was chosen for it's cultural significance.
During the seventh inning stretch at any ballpark fans will stand and sing "Take Me Out To The Ballgame".
Nowhere is that any truer than at Wrigley Field in Chicago where the former play by play man of the Cubs, the late Harry Carey, did his thing.

Staff brought home two hefty boxes full of Neuhaus chocolates from a trip to Europe.
The boxes were tied with lengths of lovely red ribbon.
Jeff had no interest in the chocolates, but the ribbons are his new best friends.
Hopefully they can survive Jeff's friendship.
Jeff has expensive taste
Staff went to Europe and Jeff, Rita, Normie and Hazel what???? What, what: how was trusted with their care?
Staff reply: only one Staff went.
nothing finer than Belgian chocolates!
Welcome back from Europe, Staff! I'm sure the animals and other Staff missed you while you were gone.
I love the look on Jeff's face in the last photo. Pure wonder and joy.
The paw placed ever so delicately, yet lethally, on the Neuhaus ribbon-priceless Jeff!
Doesn't matter how expensive the ribbon is, cats will want to play with it. My mother's cats love ribbon play and it seems Jeff is no different.
Red is the best ribbon flavor.

Welfare Programs
After a long search to fill an aching vacancy, the Jewish Community of Tunis was finally able to employ a very capable person to look after the needs of the elderly survivors. JDC then sent a professional social worker from Marseilles to Tunis for a training and supervision visit.
The Community renovated a number of apartments under its control and moved five people living in the most inadequate living conditions into clean and decent lodgings. For these and other elderly, JDC was also able to send specially designated funds to provide basic home facilities (gas, hot water, a shower space) wherever it was missing or in a state of disrepair.
In cooperation with the Community, JDC persuaded the Claims Conference to underwrite a second holiday food basket, adding a New Year gift to the one previously financed only for Passover. The Claims Conference similarly agreed to start funding homecare for these elderly.
The Jewish Old Age Home also benefited from a series of improvements. A new defibrillating machine donated by CASIM, the main Jewish social welfare organization of Marseilles, actually enabled the staff there to save a man's life. Once brought back to life, the man now tells everyone he meets about "the miracle."
Jewish Education Programs
A key concern in Tunis is whether the Jewish high school pupils are mastering the French language. The issue is critical for two reasons. First, virtually all the children come from Arabic speaking homes, so French is a second language. Second, the pupils are tested according to the exams of the French government. The high school diploma they prepare for is the French baccalaureat.
For a number of years there were no high school classes at the Tunis Chabad School, so when the classes began to fill up it was an open question as to whether this new generation of students would succeed. Now the tension has been broken. The six pupils now in their junior year recently took the official French language exams and passed with flying colors. Four other youngsters at the junior high school level were also successful at their level, earning a coveted brevet.
Following the success of JDC's cooperation with ORT in establishing a computer lab at the school, we are now planning the addition of a science laboratory and a "green garden" where pupils will cultivate and study fruits and vegetables associated with the Bible and Jewish holiday traditions.

I think that's the thing about Facebook ads–you can't really sell product with them. They are part of the very very first step in the sales cycle. That's why successful campaigns (according to what Facebook defines as successful) usually revolve around increasing fans.

For a person with arthritis, working in the kitchen can be a demanding chore.
"Most kitchens are not designed for people with physical limitations," said Dena Slonaker, an occupational therapist and a volunteer with the Arthritis Foundation of Southern California. "However, with some simple rearrangements and special gadgets, people with arthritis can keep the joy in cooking."
The Arthritis Foundation offers the following tips to make your kitchen more enjoyable:
--Keep the things you use most often within easy reach. Store extra sets of frequently used utensils, such as measuring cups and spoons, in several strategic places throughout the kitchen.
--Wear an apron with several pockets to place small cooking utensils at your fingertips while working.
--Hang pots and pans from a wall rack at a comfortable level to eliminate bending and reaching.
--Have lazy Susans in your spice or food cabinets to help make items more easily accessible.
--Take advantage of days when you're feeling particularly good to prepare meals that can be frozen. On other days, simply thaw and reheat these dishes for an instant meal.

MP: State urged to oppose commercial cultivation of GM mustard
Farmers' unions and civil society groups in Madhya Pradesh have expressed opposition against the Central government's possible move to introduce GM mustard for commercial cultivation and have warned of strong street action if the process is not stopped.bhopal Updated: Nov 20, 2015 20:57 IST
Farmers' unions and civil society groups in Madhya Pradesh have expressed opposition against the Central government's possible move to introduce genetically modified (GM) mustard for commercial cultivation and have warned of strong street action if the process is not stopped.
Addressing a press conference on Friday, the representatives of the groups urged the MP government to write to the Central government 'to caution it against approval to commercialization of GM mustard.'
Nilesh Desai of the Beej Swaraj Abhiyan pointed out that the state government already has an organic farming policy in place, which states that GM crops would not be allowed in the state.
"The Madhya Pradesh government was proactive in the Bt Brinjal case and stood firmly with the best interests of farmers and consumers when it wrote to the Centre against its introduction five years ago. Subsequently, it also put in place an organic farming policy that seeks to put into place lasting, farmer-centric sustainable solutions in our agriculture, to improve farm livelihoods. In such situation, it should immediately write to the Centre again," Desai said.
"GM mustard is mainly meant to facilitate the seed production processes of seed companies and will not impart any additional benefit to farmers or consumers. We would like to remind the government of India that a policy directive already exists that transgenic option should be considered only if other alternatives are not available or feasible," said Kavitha Kuruganti, the co-convenor of the coalition for a GM-free India.
"Madhya Pradesh is one of the largest growers of mustard in India, and any approval of GM mustard will contaminate all non-GM varieties of mustard crops," said Kapilbhai Shah, secretary of organic farming association of India.
The principal secretary of farmers' welfare and agriculture development department, Rajesh Rajora said that the state government has already refused to give consent to field trials of GM mustard and GM chana.
"We did this because there is no literature available to prove that GM food grains are not harmful and they would have no detrimental effect on environment. Our stand would be similar on commercial cultivation when the matter comes before us," he said.
Sources said that the state government is also wary of the fact that introduction of GM mustard or chana would harm the prospects of small and marginal farmers and could lead to monopoly of seed companies.
