Business Succession Planning
Owning a business can be a very rewarding experience. But what happens if a business owner dies or falls seriously ill? Much will depend on the type of business – sole trader, partnership or
limited company – but unless there has been some advance planning, the chances are that what remains may end up in the wrong hands.
So if you are a business owner, business insurance is important – it is simply the process of planning for what you want to happen if you (or your co-owner if you have one) die or fall seriously ill. For further information please click here to read our Key Guides
How we can help?
When we advise clients about business insurance and succession planning, we start by finding out the most important issues in each specific case. Once these have been identified and prioritised, we can then recommend a suitable way forward. In doing so, we will advise on:
The options available and their costs.
Tax implications.
Methods of valuing the business
Tax planning
We frequently work alongside accountants to establish the most efficient form of remuneration strategies for business owners. For example should monies be retained within the business or should you look to pay into a pension, pay a dividend or increase salary.
Pension contributions have long been the most tax efficient form of releasing profits from a business; however pension's legislation is forever changing. We can advise on the optimum level of pension contributions that should be considered, as well as advise on the different types of pension vehicle available. These include Personal Pensions, Executive Pensions, Self-Invested Personal Pensions (SIPP) and Small Self-Administered Schemes (SSAS).
Methods of valuing the business
Auto enrolment
On 1 October 2012 the first phase of a radical set of pension reforms got underway. Whether you are an employer or an employee – or both – you cannot afford to ignore these major changes. For once they are not concentrated on the arcane world of pension taxation. Instead their focus is firmly on what pensions are all about: the provision of retirement income.
We can help you understand the options which best suit your business requirements.

our Key Guides.
Employee benefits
Once you have great employees on board, how do you stop them from jumping ship?
One method is by offering an employee benefits package.
We have extensive experience in assisting businesses with educating employees and in providing guidance on employee benefits such as;
Private Medical Insurance
Group Life Cover (Death in Service)
Group Critical Illness Cover
Group Income Protection

I have a new product that I am in love with, it's Krylon Looking Glass Spray Paint. The options are endless! You spray the opposite side of glass and it creates a mirror. Or you can turn any glass into vintage looking mercury glass. I still had a few vintage bottles so I decided to experiment with the antique mercury glass. I turned to trusty google and found a few different ways to create the look. I thought I would be daring and try a combination of what I read. Most tutorials said to use clear bottles, but I used a mixture of clear and colored.
After washing the bottles I lightly sprayed water over a bottle followed by a coat of the spray paint. I waited for about five minutes then used a paper towel and dabbed at the bottle. I repeated this process until the desired darkness and look was achieved. I had to do an extra coat on the green bottle.
After they completely dried these bottles found a new home in my downstairs bathroom. I like the way they turned out, each bottle turned out better than the last, I guess practice does make perfect.

The spicy, tangy, sour and sweet flavors of Thai cuisine are the reasons to go on a Bay Area-wide culinary treasure hunt.
Amphawa Thai Noodle House: Like the name says, this bright, cheery eatery specializes in noodle dishes. Order chan pad poo, the stir-fried spicy noodles such as the crab, egg and green onion ($11.95) and don't miss kao ka moo, the tender, succulent, pork leg stew, ($9.95). A bonus: Fruity $5 soju cocktails to sip while you wait.
Vitals: 5020 Geary Blvd. (near 14th Avenue), S.F.; (415) 387-1299. Lunch and dinner daily.
Arun Thai: The serene, artistic decor belies the office park setting of this Novato favorite run by Arun Ouneklap, formerly of the Mandarin Oriental. The flavors aren't dumbed down either; yum pla muk (calamari salad; $11) has plenty of chile heat, and the drunken noodles ($9-$14), wide noodles tossed with wilted Chinese broccoli and meat or seafood are inspired by the Thai street food dish pad kee mao.
Vitals: 385 Bel Marin Keys Blvd. (near Digital Drive), Novato; (415) 883-8017. www.arunnovato.com. Lunch weekdays, dinner Monday-Saturday. Reservations accepted for parties of six or more.
Chabaa Thai Cuisine: Traditional fare like the succulent roast duck ($8.95) can be exceptional, but if you want to explore northeastern Thai cuisine, ask for the "secret" menu, available only at the Irving Street location, to try hard-to-find dishes such as Issan sausage ($8.95) served with peanuts, shallots and lettuce. And if you get a craving around midnight, both locations are open until 1 a.m.
Vitals: 2123 Irving St. (near 22nd Avenue), S.F.; (415) 753-3347. www.chabaathaicuisinesf.com. Lunch and dinner daily. Also at 420 Geary St. (at Mason Street), S.F.; (415) 346-3121.
Tin Thai Kitchen: The service might be a little scattered at this small, unassuming restaurant, which is tucked behind a gas station. But the chicken larb ($7) - served with lettuce for a cool, contrasting crunch - has clean, complex flavors that are on point. The wide rice noodles with duck ($10) and the slightly sweet, spicy basil beef ($11) are also winners.
Vitals: 235 S. Vasco Road (near Las Positas Road), Livermore; (925) 960-1030. www.tinthaica.com. Lunch and dinner Monday-Saturday.
Tiparos Thai Kitchen: It's worth the search to find Tiparos Thai, which is located in a strip mall with a sign that still says Sala Thai, its former incarnation. Top choices include generously stuffed angel wings ($8) or seafood basil full of prawns, calamari and other seafood ($12.95). Meanwhile, the curries don't skimp on heat.
Vitals: 15501 San Pablo Ave., Ste. F (at Richmond Parkway), Richmond; (510) 223-2933. Lunch and dinner daily.

An alleged killer driver is not fit to face court, her lawyer has claimed.
Mark Farrell told Craigavon Crown Court he had two expert psychiatric reports which opined that 23-year-old Claire Gough was neither fit to plea nor fit to stand trial.
Gough, from the Tartaraghan Road, is charged with causing the death of Katherine Kelly by driving carelessly and whilst unfit through drink or drugs on November 3, 2012 and three further allegations of causing grievous bodily injury to Scott Houston, Daniel Dougan and Trevor Foster arising from the same single vehicle crash on the Armagh Road in Portadown.
Previous courts have heard that Gough sustained an "acquired brain injury" in the impact.
She was due to have the charges put to her today at her arraignment but that was adjourned.
Prosecuting lawyer Nicola Auret said given the case is a "very serious matter involving a fatality," the PPS would be seeking to obtain their own psychiatric report and asked the defence if their client would consent to being examined.
"We so consent," replied Mr Farrell.
Judge Patrick Lynch QC adjourned the case to January 27 for review.
Miss Kelley was just 21 when she sustained her fatal injuries and it was reported at the time that Gough herself was also in a "critical condition."
At the time Kathy Lennon, Miss Kelley's mother, spoke of her "pride" that her daughter's organs had been donated including her liver being given to a seriously ill baby.

How my real estate practice differs
I operate my real estate practice differently than many other real estate agents, and here's how:
- I will solely and exclusively represent you and your interests and will never represent the buyer and seller in the same transaction.
- I also choose to limit the number of clients I work with at one time so that I can personally oversee all of the details of your transaction.
Repeat & referral business
My business is built on results and providing unparalleled service to clients. This approach has resulted in 90% of my business coming from repeat clients and their referrals.
I am honored to have been recognized as a:
- Top Real Estate Producer by Washingtonian Magazine
- Top Real Estate Agent by Northern Virginia Magazine
- Angie's List Super Service Award
- Top Producer by the Northern Virginia Association of Realtors ®, which represents 11,000 area agents.
Ideal client profile
I typically work with clients looking to buy or sell homes in the $500,000 to $1.5 million price range in Arlington, Virginia.
Longtime & highly localized perspective
Seeing and personally experiencing the unprecedented changes in the Arlington and Northern Virginia real estate market over the last 25 years as a homeowner, investor and Realtor®, I strive to provide each and every one of my buyers, sellers and investors a unique and very local perspective of all areas of real estate. I keep my finger on the pulse of local real estate because it's not just my job – it's my passion.
Professional affiliation
I am affiliated with Keller Williams Realty in Arlington. If you're interested in Arlington area real estate, email or text/call me at 703.447.0970 for a free, no pressure consultation – I would love to see if I can help you.

DL 2015 will be held at Technopolis City of Athens, the Municipal Societe Anonyme for the Protection and Enhancement of the Industrial – Archeological Park of Athens. Technopolis City of Athens has become a hub of cultural events, thus upgrading a historic area of the capital and creating another focal point in the cultural identity of Athens.
A wide variety of cultural events are held in Technopolis every year: music, dance, theatre and performing arts, plastic and applied arts, educational programs for children, entrepreneurship and temporary exhibitions, attracting over 700,000 people annually.
The workshop will take place at Amphitheatre R/S Athina 984 (The Gasholder 1)
You can access Technopolis by public transportation (bus or metro) or by getting a taxi.
Technopolis is next to the metro station "Kerameikos" (in greek: Κεραμεικός) which is on line 3 Aghia Marina - Athens International Airport. Line 3 is connected with line 2 at the "Syntagma" station (In greek: Σύνταγμα) and line 1 at the "Monastiraki" station (in greek: Μοναστηράκι). Also note that line 3 runs from the Airport, so Technopolis is directly accessible from there. You need a special ticket to go from the airport to the Athens center (8 euros). The normal metro ticket costs 1.20 euro. Students up to 25 years of age are entitled of reduced ticket prices which are usually half the price (also applicable to busses but not taxis).
On your way out of the metro choose the exit "Technopolis". Once you are out of the metro station you will find Persefonis street on your right. Turn left in Persefonis street and walk straight forward. After a 2 minute walk and just before reaching Pireos street you will have the Entrance A on your left hand
The bus station closest to Technopolis is called Fotaerio (in greek: Φωταέριο). There are many bus and troley services around the Athens area that stop at Fotaerio: Troley No 21, Buses Numbers 049, 815, 838, 914, Β18, or Γ18.
From the Athens Airport you can take express bus X95 SYNTAGMA - AEROL. ATHINON (cost: 5 euros), exit at the last station (Syntagma) and then switch to metro line 3, direction Aghia Marina (you will need an additional ticket for the second leg that costs 1.20 euro).
The bus and trolley bus stop "Fotaerio" is just in front of Entrance C. Access Entrance A on your left in order to enter the Technopolis venue.
You can take a (yellow) taxi from the airport which before midnight costs around 35 euro while after midnight around 45 (beware of limo services). From the Athens city center taxi to the venue would be at reasonable prices (around 5-10 euro depending on traffic and distance).
The welcome reception will take place on Sunday the 7th at 19:00 in the Technopolis area where the workshop is being held. The night of the 7th is the last day of the Athens Technopolis Jazz Festival which is one of the most famous jazz festivals in Athens.
With your registration you will be given a coupon which can redeemed for one beverage (a beer or a soft drik) and a vegetarian pizza or a hot dog.
The social dinner will take place on Monday the 8th and will consist of a visit to the Lake of Vouliagmeni followed by a dinner there. Lake Vouliagmeni is located at the southern part of Attica (Vouliagmeni Lake Natural Spa Waters) next to the sea. The lake consists of a rare geophysical formation and is part-salt part-springwater maintaining a constant temperature of 24 degrees Celcius serving as a year-round natural spa.
At 18:00 two shuttle busses will depart from Technopolis to Vouliagmeni arriving at around 19:00. Before the dinner we will enjoy an aperitif at a comfortable private area and you will be able to swim in the lake so you can bring your swimsuit and a towel. There are showers available and changing rooms to prepare for the dinner. Swimming is allowed until 20.00.
At 23:00 the busses will depart from Vouliagmeni to Syntagma (city centre).

text: A couple of months ago when I was harvesting the last produce from my home garden, I brought in a cabbage which weighed ten pounds after I had removed the outer leaves and cleaned it up. Since this was about the third head of cabbage that size I'd had to deal with, not to mention a half dozen heads of more normal size, I decided it was time to learn to make sauerkraut. That way I could spread out eating the cabbage over several months. As it turned out, making sauerkraut is pretty simple. Continue Reading

RV parked in Ludlow, KY [ +zoom ]
3am and I'm not going to let another day tick by without posting something.
S'times like this when I throw quality out the window—though it pains me to upload a photo without context, so here's a recap:
On Friday I broke down under the weight of my hair and went to see the barber in Kentucky. I thought having my ears exposed would help me focus.
Passed this beige and brown monster on the road after a sweet Westfalia in mint condition escaped my lens. What these vehicles have in common? (Aside from the desire to experience a nomadic lifestyle.)
I'm reminded, I need a vacation.
It's not quite time yet. I'm still working on a project that tugs at the noodle, but I'm finding that I need to plan these trip things as I get on in life. Or maybe it's because flying out of Cincinnati is so oddly expensive. Oh wait, I live in Dayton now.
See? Confused. Light at the end of the tunnel.
I believe the left coast will be involved.

What happens next to the defendant after he/she is booked. When can they be bailed out of jail?
Innocent Until Proven Guilty
At Bustin Out Bail Bonds, we understand the concept of "innocent until proven guilty". We don't judge your case based on other people's accusations. Just because someone is accused of something doesn't mean that they did it. We are here to help take some of the sting out of a painful situation. As to why you might need us in this situation, those reasons (as stated above) are numerous. However, we at Bustin Out Bail Bonds aren't as concerned with WHY you need us. Our utmost concern is, how can we help you the most when you DO need us. What access to bail does is give the defendant the ability to mount a strong defense of the charges they have been accused of. If you are in jail you are not working to afford a lawyer or able to spend time handling your case. We want you to have the best chance for winning your case.
The Stigma of Jail
For the uninitiated, the idea of going to jail is horribly intimidating. While the reality isn't a picnic, it usually isn't as bad as what most people imagine. The reason that going to jail now isn't like going to jail "in the good old days," is because there are exponentially more laws in which one can become entangled now.
More Laws Than You Can Count
We live where there are literally more laws than can be counted, just read this article about it here: http://www.wsj.com/articles/SB10001424052702304319804576389601079728920 and that is just on the federal level. When taking into account State, County , and Municipal laws, the numbers become too large for the human mind to comprehend. And as citizens, we are actually expected to follow each every single one of them because "ignorance of the law is no excuse." There is a saying in the various businesses within the law industry.
"The average American commits 3 felonies a day without even knowing it."
As easy as it is for ANYONE to go to jail nowadays, there is a very real statistical likelihood that at some point, you or someone you know will wind up in jail. Criminal punishment used to be dispensed for common law violations. Those are violations such as murder, robbery, fraud, rape, theft, etc. Violations that those common in society understand as being bad as evidenced by the existence of a victim. However, now, criminal punishment is dispensed for violating rules to a game that was laid out without your knowledge (in some cases without your consent), in such innumerable amount, that it becomes impossible to be 100% in compliance with "the law."
An arrest for you or someone you know is pretty much a statistical inevitability at this point. In fact, it is such a common occurrence that, "What will the neighbors think" is no longer applicable. Because chances are VERY high, that your neighbor or someone they know has been to jail over of the myriad ways there are now to be locked up.
What happens next to the defendant after he/she is booked. When can they be bailed out of jail?
These are the most common things that happen once a person is booked.
- Sometimes a defendant is released and no charges are filed.
- The defendant is released on his/her own recognizance (O.R), however, the person must make all court appearances or there will be a warrant issued and the process begins again.
- The defendant is released on bail bond.
- No bail is set and the defendant must remain in jail until he/she goes to court.
- The defendant may bond out immediately on pre-set bonds providing they sign a waiver of arraignment.
What To Expect When Posting Bail
Since a bail bond is really an insurance policy that secures the defendant's release from jail, there are certain conditions that must be met and adhered to in order for the bond to be posted. When getting someone out of jail, there is the unfortunate necessity of paperwork. This involves the cosigner.
You Need a Co-Signer to Bail You Out of Jail
As cosigner, you are ensuring the defendant will fulfill her/his contractual obligations to the court and bondsman. When meeting with the bail agent it is necessary to have your ID and your cell phone for access to emergency contact information. While we do not call the cosigner's job or contacts as part of the bail process, the information is necessary in case the cosigner is unreachable at the provided phone number in the event of emergency or court dates.
When meeting with the agent, the paperwork involved only takes about 20 minutes or so to complete. Many bondsman advertise "quick" and "speedy" release. In reality, the cosigner's paperwork, is the speediest part of the process.
How Long Does It Take to Get Released From Jail?
Depending on which jail the defendant is in, greatly determines how long it will take for the release. In some cases and jurisdictions, it is required for the agent to physically go to the jail the defendant is in. Since all bonds are processed by the sheriff at the county level, those bonds then have to be brought to the county jail for processing from the jail where the defendant is. (If the defendant is in the county jail, this obviously makes things a little easier.) This can take some time.
Also, as with any large agency, the criminal justice centers move at their own pace, regardless of how "quick" a bondsman promises release or even how "quick" the bond is posted. As a general rule, it can take 2-4 hours to secure the release of a defendant from jail, once the cosigner paperwork has been completed.
Posting Bail is Almost Always an Excercise in Patience
At a time when patience is in short supply. Many of the people you will be forced to deal with in relation to this problem will be unpleasant and will do nothing but make you use what little patience you have.
At Bustin Out Bail Bonds, we understand this. That is why if you choose to work with us, we make sure that you understand what you are getting into, and how we are going to make it better for you. (or possibly we make sure that you understand what it is you are getting into, and what we can to do to help you.)
What happens if the person bailed out is late for court? Is the bond forfeited?
We service all North Texas jails and are licensed to write bail in Wise, Denton and Tarrant Counties in the State of Texas.

I've been developing a personal learning network (PLN) through Twitter and online forums for the past few years. I found my initial forays into social media to be a bit disorienting. The flow of information was overwhelming. It was difficult to get my bearings. But, I stuck with it — dipping in, then stepping away, and then returning. I found it to be a process — at first I mainly "lurked", viewing the contributions of others, then gradually I began to share and engage with others.
Through this process, I have discovered what Lyn Hilt (@L_Hilt) has referred to as "Effort In = Reward Out." Along the way, I have benefited in real ways from the ideas, practices and insights shared by the amazing and thoughtful educators who are part of my PLN. Engaging with the work of others has nudged me to take risks, pushed me to think more deeply, and opened up new ideas for empowering students in their learning.
In the (tongue-in-cheek) words of George Siemens, these powerful learning experiences led me to conclude that "My Personal Learning Network is the most awesomest thing ever!" Siemens's piece challenged my thinking about PLN's, in general, and helped me to think differently about the importance of my network and my place within it.
Let me explain. I must admit I have tended to see the value of my PLN in terms of "what it does for me." Through network connections, I have been able to access new ideas and practices that I've been able to use in my work. However, this understanding of the importance of PLNs, as Siemens points out, is not sufficient:
Creation, collaboration, and sharing are the true value points of a PLN. It's not what it does for me, but rather what I am now able to do with and for others…What's important with a PLN is not 'what it does for me' but rather how I can use it to change things in education, society, or the world. Learning networks give us potential for action.
It is not seeking knowledge for my own benefit, but creating and sharing with others to work toward a larger purpose that matters.
Siemens's post resonated with the argument that Dean Shareski lays out in this short video of his 2010 keynote presentation for the K-12 Online Conference, "Sharing: A Moral Imperative."* In his talk, Shareski argues that sharing our learning regularly with others is an ethical obligation, one rooted in our responsibility to educate all students, not just the ones within our schools and districts, but also those in the wider global community.
Siemens and Shareski both make the case that sharing is not just a "nice thing to do," but it is essential in building a sharing culture that is ultimately grounded in our moral purpose to educate children. Taken together, these two educators helped me to develop a deeper understanding of our ethical obligation to put our learning into action and, most importantly, to share and refine our learning along the way as a contribution to the greater good for students within our schools and beyond.
What do you think of Siemens and Shareski's perspectives? As always, I'd love to hear your comments, questions and ideas.

Male Hatchling
Name: unnamed
Species: Mortifelis
Birthday: Monday, October 26, 2015
Owner: whitewolfjustice
Your egg is slow to hatch, never really cracking but instead becoming soft enough for a limp tail or limb to burst through the shell. You would help it along, if not for the horrid reek emanating from inside. At times, you suspect the hatchling has perished and is simply rotting away, but eventually the sides of the egg start to peel, revealing a small dark body. The kitten is listless at first, unmoving even if gently prodded, yet come nightfall, it awakens with glowing white eyes and stilted, unsteady movements. It doesn't meow so much as it groans, calling out in a high pitched drone long past the waking hours of the night. It refuses to feed on anything fresh, but devours long-dead meat with fervor. Whenever it feeds, it seems to grow faster and more precise in its movements.
All decessi fear one creature above all else, the dreaded mortifelis that devours them by the thousands come the autumn harvest. The mortifelis were produced centuries ago at the Keep, experiments to imbue a living cat with the ability to kill the hordes of undead rats that flooded the countryside each year. The experiments were an astounding success initially, but soon the magi who had created them started noticing that the cats were behaving oddly. They refused to eat regular food and appeared to stop breathing - yet they were still alive. Their skin would slough off in putrescent chunks, even down to the bone. Their eyes would decay and their noses would shrivel up, their ears eaten away by maggots and other insects that feast on rotting flesh, yet the cats seemed unaffected, clinging to life in much the same way as the decessi. Given free reign like other creatures of the Keep, these cats would occasionally come to scratch or bite other cats, spreading their condition, and their love of dead flesh. In due time, the existing cats were relocated to far corners of the world where they wouldn't pose a threat to living cats, but occasionally they find themselves back at the Keep with the onslaught of decessi.

Human Head Studios has revealed a single screenshot for Legend of Grimrock 2. While that's normally cause to poke fun and be sarcastic, the outdoors nature of the shot is notable -- it's a far cry from the underground tunnels that made up the first game's world.
Looks like Grimrock 2 will be quite an expansive departure, which ought to be interesting. This reminds me -- I really need to get back into the original before this sucker comes out.
I'm so glad games like this can still exist.

As St. Patrick's Day has come and gone, the Grand Slam is secured and Rory McIlroy (as well as Tiger) is back, it is time now to focus on the season ahead for visiting golfers. As was the case in 2017 record numbers of visitors, both golfing and non-golfing are expected and time sheets are very full, especially during the peak month of September, at all of the main visitor courses.
The usual frustrations have surfaced during the booking season. Green fees have increased across the board yet again, between 5% and 10% is most cases despite the headline inflation rates for Ireland being less than 1%. Especially disappointing is the continued rise in less visited courses although his may well be to the increase in the volume of visitors travelling the "Wild Atlantic Way".
Of more concern is the increasingly draconian booking conditions imposed by some of the golf clubs. From 100% payment to secure times without being able to provisionally hold times to balance payments 90 days prior to play ("or your booking will automatically be cancelled") to increased stress on non-refundable payments and non-changeable dates, golf clubs, and again I stress "some", make it increasingly difficult to plan itineraries in optimal circumstances.
Accommodation prices continue to rise slightly, save for Dublin and Belfast. If decent rooms can be found, especially when there are concerts or other events, they are available at exorbitant rates with 3*** hotels charging what recently were 5***** prices. The lack of forward thinking astounds.
Our long relationship with Dan Dooley Rentals ended with their takeover by Enterprise Car Rentals. This happened without warning at the start of 2017 so we would like to thank the employees of Dan Dooley who were so helpful and courteous during the 15 years we rented cars for our clients. Dan Dooley remains a trading arm of Enterprise and we may see some of you again. The bulk of our rentals will be with Enterprise and look forward to a similar experience with them.
All of the frustrations above are countered on the golfing front by the prospect of playing some courses again that we have not played in a while. Top of the list are Castlerock and Adare, both of which will open in early Spring.
Castlerock has undergone major redevelopment by the Hawtree/SOL Construction partnership that has seen so many of Ireland's courses updated. This one is special however as Castlerock was a very good links that had the potential to be a great links and the project is overseen by new Secretary/Manager Bert Mackay who has many years experience on Scottish links.
Adare has been 2½ years in the making and promises to be very special indeed. Millions of Euro has been invested by J.P. McManus in making the course a truly great championship course with the stated aim of hosting the 2026 Ryder Cup. The course will open with the highest green fee of any golf course in Ireland which is a very bold statement - all we can report is that viewing the course from adjacent Adare Manor golf course last autumn left us hankering to play it. Another top quality team has been assembled at Adare across all operations and the golf manager told us that "Adare will be as close to Augusta as you'll ever get". We can't wait!
Rosapenna and Portsalon are two further venues that are on the list as we have entered our own team in the Mulroy Links tournament in October. Practice round on Sandy Hills Links - reportedly a little 'fairer' than the previous times we have played it in 2003 and 2009 - and then 3 competitive rounds on Old Tom Morris, Portsalon and Sandy Hills links. At €460 for all golf, 4 nights accommodation at Rosapenna Hotel and 2 dinners included it really is good value.
We will pay a visit to Donegal and Narin & Portnoo on the way up north and play Slieve Russell returning home. Concra Wood is a course that has not yet been played and we will hopefully have done so before October.
Some further wrongs will be righted during 2018. Portmarnock Links, improved for a number of years now will be played as soon as warmth returns to our shores. Royal Dublin is another course not played for far too long and our good friend Jeff Fallon has recently been appointed general manager there, moving from the reservations office at Portmarnock.
And a major reconnaissance of the southeast is planned with first time visits to Bunclody, Waterford Castle and Gowran Park and long overdue returns to Tramore, Carlow and Rosslare.
Of course this blog and a new website, in gestation since 2006, will also keep us busy until the end of the year. If you are coming to Ireland we look forward to welcoming you, if not we wish you a great golf season wherever you are.

Myteampicks will be back shortly. The fashion police are out and about searching for people to add to the team!
We are out and about
Weekly recap/rewind
Myteampicks for the week:
theSTARTERS: Chad Ochocinco, for showing us a little grace and charm which we never see on the football field.
theBENCH: None for the week.
theWAIVERS: None for the week.
The Chad You Didn't Know
The Bengals wide receiver Chad Ochocinco is part of the cast of Dancing with the Stars this season. On Monday, March 22, 2010 he danced the Cha-Cha with his partner Cheryl Burke. They received a six from the panel members, for a total score of 18.
For many of us we are used to seeing Chad on the football field. I was delighted to see a side of Chad I normally wouldn't see. I saw a bit of grace and charm in Chad, something I would never see on the field. Here is a tip, keep the gold teeth out of your mouth! Chad has a great smile, I never knew that with all the gold in his mouth. Chad you are a STARTER, for showing us a side of you that hasn't been seen before! View Dancing with the Stars below:
Weekly recap/rewind
Myteampicks for the week:
theSTARTERS: Vince Carter for smiling. Michael Jordan for his accomplishments, and his suit on the right!
theBENCH: None for the week.
theWAIVERS: None for the week.
Congratulations to Michael Jordan, the first former NBA player to become majority owner of a NBA team. The investment gives Jordan a controlling interest in the companies that run the NBA's Charlotte Bobcats and Time Warner Cable Arena.
Some of Jordan's other accomplishments included: six NBA championships, five MVP awards, fourteen NBA All-Star Game appearances, and three All-Star Game MVP awards to name a few. He was elected to the Basketball Hall of Fame on April 6, 2009 and was inducted on September 11, 2009.
Congratulations Michael Jordan! The pictures above were pulled from past archives. I love his attire on the right. The blue tie compliments the blue pinstripes in the suit, great look! Michael Jordan, you are a STARTER!
Keep smiling
Here are a couple more reasons you should keep smiling:
1. Smiles can fill a room with positive energy and happy moods.
2. According to some, smiles can tone up facial muscles.
3. Your smile can cheer up others who may feel down.
4. Smiling makes you more approachable.
5. Smiles can change the entire look of an outfit!!!
There's nothing worse than seeing a good-looking, well-dressed man with a frown on his face. He's intimidating, unapproachable, and unattractive. Charles Gordy states, "A smile is an inexpensive way to change your looks."
I am always drawn to people who smile. Take a look at Orlando Magic's Vince Carter below:
A smile cost nothing, and it can truly enhance your appearance. Vince Carter you're a STARTER!

World Wide Technology crosses $1B mark in Cisco product sales. Yes, that's $1 billion.
Looks like there are definitely benefits to long-term relationships. World Wide Technology, a Cisco Gold Certified Partner that has been working with the networking company for 14 years, just surpassed the $1 billion mark in Cisco product sales over the length of that business partnership. Not just in one year, of course, but over that total period of time.
Now, notice I didn't say that World Wide Technology is an exclusive Cisco partner. I don't happen to condone vendor exclusivity, although I know it has worked for some resellers over the year. The company represents Sun Microsystems, Dell, EMC and Microsoft (among others). But what IS different about the St. Louis solution provider is that they have specifically invested in both people skills and practice disciplines that are related to Cisco advanced technology. (They've got master specializations in unified communications and security.) World Wide Technology is also one of the VARs who is making a commitment to selling business-relevant solutions by interacting with the Cisco Industry Solutions Partner Network. (Note of disclosure, I know this because I am working with Cisco's industry solutions team.)
Anyway, I'm more used to hearing about VARs that are roughly $10 million in totals sales, let alone capable of generating $1 billion in any particular vendor. So, kudos to you and here's hoping for another $1 billion looking forward into the future.

Merchants Of Dreams - Contemporary Moroccan Art
Viborg Kunsthal, Viborg, Denmark
January 22, 2016 - May 8, 2016
Curator: Christian Skovbjerg Jensen
Merchants of Dreams spotlights some of today's most current topics: migration, mobility and the sense of belonging. No fewer than 18 artists are involved in this exhibition. It presents various ways of tackling concepts such as freedom, dreams and movement in the context of Morocco: as a place to live in, come from, leave, change and return to.
As a natural consequence of today's globalisation, many artists are profoundly committed to highly topical issues such as politics, religion, gender and social conditions. The artists work in familiar media: audio, film, photography and installations. They apply humour, poetry and the perfection of craftsmen to their investigation of the terms 'sense of belonging' and 'freedom'. What these artists have in common is a longing for change: whether living somewhere else or, quite simply, a better and freer life, wherever that may be.
Merchants of Dreams is a group exhibition in two parts: presented simultaneously at Brandts 13 and Viborg Kunsthal.
The participating artists have not previously exhibited in Denmark: Eric van Hove, Mounir Fatmi, Younes Rahmoun, Younes Baba Ali, Hicham Benohoud, Mohssin Harraki, Simohammed Fettaka, Mohammed Larbi Rahhali, Hamza Halloubi, Randa Maroufi, Laila Alaoui, Yasmine Hajji, Bouchra Ouizguen, Said Afifi, Zainab Andalibe, Ali Essafi, Houda Terjuman and Abdellah Taïa.
The exhibition is organized in collaboration with Viborg Kunsthal and freelance curator Christian Skovbjerg Jensen.
The exhibition is part of the Images biennial, arranged by CKU

Monitored Home Security Systems
In this day and age, it takes more than a yard sign and window sticker to keep your home and family safe. That's why we offer only the safest, most reliable home security systems on the market today. The peace of mind offered by a quality, continually monitored home security system is priceless, but that doesn't mean it has to break the bank.
Savings Over the Long Run
Many of the national home security brands lure unsuspecting customers in with low start-up costs. Unfortunately, they also require a long-term contract with high monthly alarm monitoring fees. Don't be fooled by these seemingly low prices. Over the course of a long-term contract, the inflated monthly fees ad up quickly.
At Neuwave Systems, you won't find any hidden fees, contracts, or inflated monthly charges. Simply buy your equipment and enjoy low monthly security monitoring fees from of $25-$35, about half the cost of the large national brands. Customers often find our low rates save them enough in two or three years to have paid for the upfront equipment costs.
Choosing Your Security System
There are three basic types of security system installations our customers come asking for.
Hardwired Security Systems For New Homes
When your building a home from the ground up the earlier you start planning for your family's security the better. Our team of security pros has plenty of experience working with home builders to design and install a custom hardwired security system while your home is being built.
The process of installing a hardwired system begins with a consultation with our security team. We will examine your home plans to find points of entry and ensure they are well secured. By understanding your needs and the specifics of the home you're building we are able to design the perfect system for your home and family.
Wireless Security Systems For Existing Homes
Just because you live in an older home doesn't mean you shouldn't feel safe. For maximum flexibility, Neuwave Systems sells and installs a full line of wireless security systems. By connecting sensors, cameras, and other elements of the system to the control panel wirelessly we are able to secure your home, no matter its age.
Surveillance Systems
The next level for security systems is a full surveillance system including cameras. Our camera systems can be installed as an add-on to either a hardwired or wireless security system, allowing you to see what's happening in and around your home, even if you're not home!

Higurashi; Raw and Wrrrrigling! September 7, 2006Posted by animerambler in Raw Interpretation, Series.
After twenty-some episodes the try-outs are over, spring training is done, all the lolis are in top form and Studio Deen is taking this next arc to the majors! No more single-A minor-league crap with Keiichi wiping out Hinamizawa by releasing a natural gas pocket. No more semi-pro series with Mion and Rena failing to take out wonderboy 'cause he has a bat. This one isn't even Triple-A Shion-getting-called-up-to-the-majors after trapping, killing or breaking virtually the entire cast and most of the village heads. No, no, Rena's in top form here, and she could go all the WAY!
We start where we left off last ep, with Rena just having ducked into a
phone booth corner to change into her alter ego Daitenzen Loli Machette, while tracking the whore (literally) who's seeking to extort money from her father.
Is it just me, or does that second cap look like she means business? In any case, next scene is school, also, doesn't Mion look cuter when not in a underground cell wearing a nighty and pleading for her and her friends' very lives while slowly loosing her sanity? Hotter, no, but cuter, yes.
Anyway, they're talking, maybe about why Keiichi sucks so very much, or if he's reached Shinji Ikari levels yet (I'm giving him a stay of execution after witnessing his water-gun fighting and punishment game skills last episode, but I still think he'll screw up when the real shit goes down). Anyway, they get bored of this, naturally, and while Mion makes her escape by jumping out the window (must run in the family), Rena looks pensive, knowing she's left to carry on the conversation alone. Thankfully the scene ends.
Back home, it's even worse, Rena runs into the purple-haired STD bag that her father seems so fond of. They do that thing women do where they're nice to each other superficially, but the atmosphere in the room approaches "war-crimes were committed here on the top of an ancient indian burial ground" level of intensity. Guys just come out swinging like its a championship match in the Garden in these situations, so this was really disarming for me. Rena then runs off to the abandoned junk-yard all of a sudden, prompting Rina (purple haired ho) to follow her. Good move there, at least they gave Rina a name, and not just "Loli-cide Vic #1". Oh well.
More nice nice. I can only imagine the dialogue, as I certainly can't understand it, maybe:
Rina: Nice place you've got here.
Rena: Bitch, you die now!
Now allow me to make my tribute to the late, great Steve Irwin:
These lolis can be adorable, amazing creatures, but you have to know how to behave around them, mates. You can see here, this one's a little on-edge, and that's to be expected, we're in her territory now, but what you've really got to look out for is when they start making these fantastic emo facial distortions, yelling things like "Liar", and watch out for that shakey-cam effect. Cripes! Well, you can see Rina really has this one riled up, so let's just give it a little room and watch now.
Then, Rena goes all Battousai on us with this shot:
So at this point we know that Rina is probably about as dead as Apollo in Rocky IV, she just doesn't know it yet, except…
Holy $hit! Rina's got some stuff, too, this could be a fight after all folks! I'm thinking Rena looses the first bout (it's only ep 2 of the arc) but does some training with the game club, minus Keiichi, and comes back for a stunning title win next ep, like Rocky I and II, you know the one's before it was clear they should have stopped. You have to give it to purple-hair though, no one's really tried fighting back against the lolis, except Keiichi in ep 4, and Shion trouncing Rika more recently, you know given history like that, Rena could be in trouble here.
Rina leads with a vicious right hook, doing her best Wayne Brady impersonation, and Rena's as stunned as I was when I heard Chapell had gone to Africa. Then Rena goes down and we get the Batman montage:
I was giddy, a full on fight in episode 2 or an arc, holy crud! This isn't what I wanted though, watching this just makes me think of when I had to watch the
refs Seahawks beat my Panthers in the NFC championship, or the Patriots refs beat them in the Superbowl a few years back. It's painful, but at least it's a lot shorter.
Everyone together: Does Rina have to choke a loli!?!
Seriously though, I should have known that Rina had lost it by this point. I mean think about it: Hinamizawa fatalities include machetes, Satoshi's bat, syringes, tasers, knives, well, you get the idea. Not since Keiichi or expendable photo-journalist has anyone died by someone's hands and those two f#&*-ups died by their own hands.
Continuing that trend, Rena grasps a piece of broken glass as she's just about to give up the ghost. After delivering a pretty superficial cut to Rina's left abdomen, leading her to scream and flail around like a stuck pig, Rena then finds a more suitable tool for the last inning; a lead pipe.
Priceless facial expressions. Rena's got this Kool-Aid man "Oh yeahhh!" thing going, and Rina's like, shit, shouldn't have f^$*ed with the Hinamizawa Lolis.
Rena steps up to the plate and looks to foul off that first pitch deep. The pitcher doesn't learn though, brings the high heat again, and you can see in that final shot that she's really stepping through her second swing, and…
she's outta there! Of course, being a thrifty gal, Rena makes sure not to let the left-overs go to waste, and promptly stores everything in the fridge after cleaning up. I did kinda enjoy the irony/full-circle thing they've got going with Rena bludgeoning someone followed by the arm-on-the-ground shot from episode 4. Someone superimpose a pinata on that thing!
Returning home, Rena finds her father being bullied by Rina's pimp (that's Satoko's evil uncle, isn't it!?), and immediatly goes into man-slayer mode again.
Luring him out to the abondoned junk yard on some pretext ("Look at me, I've got a flashlight!" or "I was thinking about a career in whorology.", I don't know), he's too dumb to realize something's up when the flashlight goes out. In a split second she's behind him, and…
I am Himura Rena, the pimp-slayer. Yes, good people, in this age of the Hinamizawa's Bakumatsu, one known as the 'pimp-slayer' wrecks a path of bloody vengence through the nights in order to bring about a new age of peace for troubled land. With her hatchet style of Hiten Machette-surugi she is untouchable, but her soul is weighed down by the bloodshed, no doubt in years to come she will become a wanderer, swearing off killing, in an attempt to atone for her actions, but first she will meet her greatest nemesis in the Hinamiziawa Shinsengumi's Kondo Oishi.

Selling Your Home Online
The world of home buying and selling has been transformed by the internet. Nearly all buyers now begin their search for a new home through online web searches. This factor is changing the way Realtor agents list homes. No longer do buyers depend on a weekly or monthly magazine to come out and show a listing. Now, a home can be listed and posted on a local MLS listing service or other real estate website within minutes, for millions of potential buyers to view.
Just as the internet is transforming the way buyers find homes to purchase, the internet is also transforming the way homes are listed and sold. Sellers are no longer content to pay a 6% commission for a local area real estate agent and are looking for other alternatives. More sellers are willing to complete some tasks required to list and sell a home in order to save thousands of dollars at closing. The majority of home seller's still do not want to sell the home on their own, due to both liability and the complexity of the transaction. Online services are providing a solution.
Online Real Estate Brokers
The transformation of the internet has created a market for online real estate brokers to fill the divide between selling the home yourself and hiring a local real estate agent at a 6% commission rate. These discount real estate brokers, like RealtyWeb.com, offer brokerage services for selling your home at a discounted price.
Not all online real estate brokers are alike. Online companies offer a variety of services. Most do not offer any liability protection. Some online services simply give customer's access to the local MLS listing services and customers pay for each product they use. Others offer packages which combine items like yard signs with listing services.
RealtyWeb.com is unique in that they provide full real estate broker services and only charge 1% on the seller side, saving customers up to 2% in sales charges. This can result in savings of $2,000 for every $100,000 in sales price. A home selling for $500,000 can save the seller upwards of $10,000 in Realtor agent fees.
Local area real estate agents typically charge 6%. Of these fees 3% goes to the seller's agent and 3% to the buyer's agent. While the online sales process does not impact the charges for the buyer's agent, reducing the sales charges for the seller's agent results in thousands of additional dollars for the seller at closing.
Local MLS listing services are accessible to seller's who use a local area real estate agent as well as those who use online discount real estate brokers. This results in seller's obtaining the same marketing exposure, without the high cost of a local Realtor agent.
How Online Listings Work
With RealtyWeb.com, all functions of the sales process is accessible online. This includes listings, pictures, signs, lockboxes, professional advice, and all the legal paperwork needed for closing. Realtyweb.com will guide you through each step of the process. Customers have access to live help from Rob Roham, who has over 25 years' experience in the real estate business. The process is seamless and provides a way for seller's to save thousands of dollars in real estate agent fees, all while receiving a complete line of brokerage services.

Jim Kaighin Wins The Mid-Winter Championship
Once again the Marco Mid-Winters Championship Regatta in Marco Island, FL did not disappoint the skippers as one of the finest RC Laser events ended today in blustery conditions and sub-70-degree temperatures.
A storm front come through early Sunday causing a small postponment but PRO, Dave Brawner and his RC team created a terrific windward leeward 2-lap course and the day was early D/C sails and melded into mostly C and some B sails for the final 4 races. The winds remained in the 18-20's all day Sunday with some blasts in the 30 knot range periodically making for some exciting skippering and drew large spectator crowds to watch the excitement. We completed 14 races in 43 heats over the 2 and a half day.
The 9th annual Marco Island RC Laser Mid-Winter Championship belongs to Jim Kaighin, from the Bahamas, who grabbed his third championship in a come-from-behind day to defeat 32 skippers.
Smart sailing and clean starts paved the way for Jim as he defeated previous leader, Rocky Cale, from Marco Island, and former champion, Hank Buchanan, from New York City to win a very close series.
In fourth place was Jim's brother, Mike Kaighin (Sarasota, FL), who has not sailed an RC boat since the Marco Midwinters in 2010. In fifth was Don Barker from Chestertown, MD, while Miles Loesel from Pompano Beach and Chuck Weaver from Marco's fleet rounded out the top seven.
Beautiful engraved glass bowls were presented to the top seven finishers by Commodore George Domenech, Race Director, Rocky Cale, and Bryan Milk, Director of Parks and Recreation for Marco Island.
The Marco Eagle wrote up a nice article on the event.

It wasn't going to happen otherwise. We had to do it, we had to declare an 'emergency' and drop everything. We can't let a beautiful spring season go by without a visit to the Gila Canyons and the Arizona Trail. We just can't.
What was the emergency? The emergency was many fold:
We needed to check on the poppy bloom.
Someone had to ride next to all the color, to see how extensive it is.
Make sure the Gila Monsters of the Gila Canyons are well fed.
See if the new Revelate bags are as rad as always (or even more rad?).
Does our favorite hidden watering hole still flow? (It does!)
And what of the sunset? Will the sky turn ablaze and add even more color to the rhytolite cliffs, as we turn to climb deeper into the canyons?
Will the owls hoot at night, the poorwills whistle and tweet while hunting for bugs?
Will we wake up in a place like this, refreshed and invigorated?
For these very important issues, and more, the bikepack of the Gila Canyons was declared an emergency situation, one that could simply not be ignored.
In the morning there is no such thing as an emergency. There is no work to be done, no doubt about how the day is going to be spent.
It's going to be spent, *out here*, amongst saguaro and cactus wren.
Speaking of saguaro, Eszter and I have a favorite cactus. He's still just as stoked as ever, giving the Gila Canyons, the AZT, and the universe at large two thumbs up.
Gone are the days when Lee and I would explore this area, sans a complete AZT. Thru-hikers and thru-riders were nearly an impossibility.
By those standards, seeing 3 bikepackers and 4 thru-hikers is 'crowded.'
Hedgehogs are always the first to go, overlapping nicely with wildflower season.
Stevan is on a thru-mission, having started at the Mexican border, aiming for the South Rim as a finish. He had the 750 track loaded on his GPS, but was making similar (wise) decisions to skip certain sections, as Eszter and I did on our tour a couple years ago.
Climbing to the unicorn rock, we met another pair of bikepackers doing the full Gila River Ramble Loop, including the ice cream option! Come race/event time I know there are a good number of folks following my GPX tracks around. But it was pretty neat to run into people I would have never known about otherwise, and even better when they are making prudent decisions such as the ice cream loop!
We wrapped it up by self-shuttling and closing the loop via the highway. The emergency was resolved, crisis averted, all was well in the world. Especially when we had root beer floats in Kearny. And twist ice cream cones in Mammoth.
Thanks for making this one happen, Lee. Looking forward to the next, longer, one on the GET.

I have been tweeting about it a lot recently so hopefully you will all be aware of the awesomeness coming your way! Some of my photo have been in a few exhibitions before but thats been part of winning competitions and I've not been able to see them as they have been too far away.
This one is my first proper one and I'm really excited by it. There will be some great photos on show and 4 other analogue photographers.
Collate presents and Artists Residence have been great in helping us display our work. I have had a sneek peak at some of the other exhibits and they are incredible. The private view is Wednesday night and the exhibition run until the 27th April.
If you can come down at any point I would appreciate it, all art work is for sale but its not really a money making exercise (although I would like a yacht) so come on down and show your support.

Bone Restore
Quick Overview
Maintaining bone density and strength is aboutadding calcium. But it must be accompanied by adequate amounts of other vital nutrients. That's why this proprietary, comprehensive mineral formulaprovides 700 mg of highly absorbable elemental calcium from threedifferent forms, along with critically important magnesium, boron, zinc, manganese, and silicon needed for healthy bones.
Throughout life, cells known as osteoblasts construct bone matrix and fill it with calcium. At the same time, osteoclasts work just as busily to tear down and resorb bone. This fine balance is regulated by many factors, including systemic hormones and cytokines. Bone mass reaches its peak by the middle of the third decade of life and plateaus for about ten years, during which time bone turnover is constant, with bone formation approximately equaling bone resorption.1 As our bodies age, this fine balance is lost.
As the relative hormone levels shift in midlife — more drastically in women than in men — the osteoclasts gain the upper hand and bone mass begins to dwindle. Some bone is already being lost by the time women reach menopause, but the rate of loss can increase up to tenfold during the first six years after menopause. Bone density loss is not just associated with calcium deficiency, but also with an insufficient intake of a host of other nutrients4-8 including magnesium9,10 and vitamin D3.11,12.
In order for calcium to help maintain healthy bones, adequate amounts of vitamin D3, zinc, magnesium, manganese, and other nutrients should be available so that calcium and phosphorus can be incorporated into the bone matrix. Additionally, many forms of calcium are not particularly well absorbed. While loss of bone mineral density is more commonly experienced by women, aging men can also have this issue. Both men and women may suffer significant deficits of magnesium if they do not supplement.
Magnesium is not only needed to maintain strong bones, but it is critical to promoting a healthy vascular system. In fact, magnesium is critical for facilitating hundreds of enzymatic reactions that our bodies require to maintain optimal health. To overcome the impediments that preclude aging adults from achieving optimal calcium status, Life Extension offers a proprietary comprehensive mineral formula called Bone Restore which has been designed to support healthy bone density and strength.
Bone Restore provides 1200 elemental milligrams of calcium from three different forms, along with the critically important nutrients magnesium, boron, zinc, silicon, manganese7 and vitamin D11,12 needed for healthy bones. In fact, the boron in this formula, called FruiteX B® OsteoBoron®, is a natural boron/carbohydrate complex, similar to what is found in fruits and vegetables and is more bioavailable than boron citrate.
Scientific research has established the beneficial effects of boron on the strength of bones and joints. One reason why aging people suffer bone loss even though they are taking calcium supplements is that they may not be absorbing enough elemental calcium. Bone Restore provides calcium in capsule form to ensure that it breaks down fully in the digestive tract. Unlike calcium tablets, these capsules burst open within five minutes of swallowing, making the minerals and vitamin D3 immediately available for absorption.
