Today's competition saw racing wrap up for the under 10s, under 12s and under 16s as well as the presentation of the final team trophies. In the under 16 giant slalom, it was the two dominant skiers of the week which ultimately took out today's race and the overall standings. Ted Slade finished second in Monday's super G before standing atop the podium in Wednesday's slalom and today he asserted his tech skiing dominance by claiming gold in the giant slalom. The British Ski Academy racer was going head to head with Kandahar's Elliott Bennett who won the super G but came unstuck in the slalom, however it was Kaylan Huisman Muro who was on top of the timing sheet in run one, with Ambition's Ryan Pye in second. When it was time to decide the medals, Bennett was first to top the table before being overhauled by Slade. When Pye could not surpass the pair with his second run it was down to the slalom silver medallist to claim the title for his own, however Huisman Muro recorded a DNF, handing the Ski Council of Wales Trophy to Slade. "The first run was a bit mistake ridden and it pushed me back a bit, said Slade. "On the second run I spoke to Elliott Bennett at the start; we both knew we had not had the best runs so we agreed to just go for it and see what was going to happen. I'm over the moon to come first. "It was a shame to see Kaylan [Huisman Muro] come off because we knew he would have provided some serious competition with his final run - it contributes to the result." In addition to the slalom and giant slalom victories, Slade also won the Ski Plan Trophy for the under 16 boys' overall title ahead of Bennett and Thomas Rampton. "This week has been so good," said Slade. "I did some forerunning for the FIS races last week and I think that put me in a good place to work from. "I had some okay sections in the Super G; it wasn't an amazing run but good to get on the podium. With the slalom and giant slalom, it's fantastic to get on the top spot. When it's your last year of children's races you want a good send off before you head onto FIS racing." The under 16 girls giant slalom presented a near identical scenario to the boys where CDC Performance's Alexa Elliff won her second race of the week en route to the overall title. The slalom champ set an electrifying pace in the first run to gain an advantage of 0.80 on her nearest rival. Elliff (1:39.58) was then able to hold onto most of that margin to claim the Hillend Salver ahead of Dragon Ski Club's Giselle Gorringe (1:40.02) while Emelia Ackerley (1:41.32) was third. "My GS has always been a bit of a surprise but I was feeling pretty ready this morning just to put it all on the line," said Elliff. "The competition is so strong I knew I was going to have to give it everything. "I don't really think I was expecting it because recently I have been crashing a lot, especially on second run. So I was kind of expecting to not even make it that far and to realise I'd made it through the finish line - and won - was a lot for one moment!" The win secured Elliff the Coupe de la Municipalité de L'Alpe d'Huez as the under 16 girls overall champion ahead of super G champion Sophie Foster while Ackerley was third. "At the beginning of the season I wrote down all my goals, and I set them pretty high and was a bit embarrassed to talk to anyone about it, but [the overall title] was one of my goals and it feels pretty great to have got that," said Elliff. "I'll be [racing] FIS [events] next year which will be a whole new adventure. I'm actually really excited because it's new skis, it will be a lot more people. "Here it's super-personal which is nice, but it's also a lot more nerve-wracking. In FIS there's going to be so many people and it's going to be a new battle but it's going to be exciting and new." With the mini's taking on the pro slalom, BSA's Freddy Carrick-Smith bounced back from Wednesday's third place finish to win the boys under 12s. Freddy (29.10) repeated his victory from Monday's giant slalom to beat home his brother Zak (29.90) and Hamish Blyth (29.92). The girls under 12 pro slalom was taken out by Team Evolution's Katie Saunders (30.04) from Alpine Training Centre's Tia Freshwater (30.81) while Emily Turner was third (30.94). In the boys under 10s, Ambition's Ryan Faber (31.85) set the pace in the first run and no one could overhaul his time as he claimed first place. Adam Cuthbert (33.82) and Scott Phillips (34.41) were both off the podium following the first run but made big improvements second time around to move into the medal positions. Ambition's Alice Bond (32.86) was victorious in the girls' under 10s by almost a half a second, with Kandahar's Isabel Sadler (33.30) the runner-up while Ophelia Korpanec-Davies (33.58) won bronze.

Structural Repairs: Load-Bearing Walls
It is possible to remove load-bearing walls, as long as the load is carried by some other means (usually by a beam). The previous owner of our house did not understand that basic concept, and thought it okay to remove studs in order to put in doorways, cut top plates to run plumbing, and simply remove walls without paying any attention to the structure.
Is it a load bearing wall?
You could be dealing with a load bearing wall if:
- the wall runs perpendicular to the ceiling joists (especially if joists overlap above the wall),
- the wall is directly under a wall on the next floor,
- your house collapses when you remove the wall.
Before removing any wall, you should get advice from a building inspector or structural engineer. This is usually required as part of the permit process. Skipping this process could have devastating consequences. You can remove a load bearing wall if the load is carried by a beam, or redistributed in another way. Again, a structural engineer is your friend. There are minimum codes that must be met, for both legal and safety reasons.[/wc_box]
Weakened structure
The problem: Studs were removed from a load-bearing wall so a doorway could be inserted. In the same wall, part of the top plate was removed for the plumbing vent stack. There was some sagging due to the original wall studs being a little too short, which wasn't a serious issue, but something we were able to address with the wall opened up.
The solution: As part of our overall renovation, an even larger section of the wall was removed. It was replaced by a beam comprised of two 2x10s which now carry the load.
The plumbing was re-routed. An accurately sized hole was drilled through the top plate so the vent stack could run through it. The wall was reinforced with additional studs which helped to level the joists above. The load is carried by the foundation block walls and one of the new stud walls in the basement.
Compensating for a removed structural wall
The Problem: In creating a larger master bedroom, the previous owner removed a load-bearing wall– an error that could have had very serious consequences. He should have installed a beam to carry the load, but instead he just left the top plate of the wall in place, which sagged by close to an inch over the years.
Oddly, he built a lower ceiling using a framework of 2 x 4's and drywall. The 2 x 4's were installed below the level of the top plate–I guess so the ceiling was all the same height– so he could have replaced the top plate with a 2×8 beam without sacrificing any head room at all. Likely a beam of 2×10′s or greater would have been required for this span, but even that would have only protruded a couple of inches below the lower ceiling.
Solution: The obvious solution would have been to use jacks to raise the sagging top plate back up to level and restore the stud wall below it. But we had in our grubby little hands architectural drawings that changed the floor plan of this area yet again. A wall was to be built a few feet from where the original wall had been, so rather than install a beam and build a wall, the completely changed how the load of the second floor is carried. The new wall has been moved several feet and features a steel I-beam supported by jack posts that sit over the block foundation on one side and a block basement partition wall on the other side. This is our new load-bearing wall.
A stud wall was built under the I-beam, but it is the steel that carries the load. New joists were installed between this wall and the other wall detailed above. The old joists are no longer necessary for carrying any load, but remain in place.
More structural reinforcement: the second floor hallway
Meanwhile, in the hallway, we learned some more secrets of the house's past which revealed more inadequate structure. The upper hallway is open, overlooking the stairs. Where there should be a beam supporting the second floor joists across the stair opening, there was only two 2x4s which appear to have been a top plate at one time as the stud locations were clearly marked. Apparently, the staircase is not original to the house. If I had to guess, I would assume that access to the attic had been achieved via retracting attic stairs, and the proper stair case was installed at a later date.
The contractors installed an angle iron to reinforce the top plate, giving it the structural strength to properly support this span.
Restoring the underlying structure of this house started shortly after we moved in (2003) and continued to the Spring of 2009. Considering our "home inspection" focused solely on structure and apparently revealed no issues, we were completely blindsided by the scope of the repairs that were necessary. The cost of the repairs was folded in with the cost of extensive renovations that have enhanced the value of our house. However, had it not been for the structural issues, we would not have had to renovate so extensively. It is far easier and much less expensive to do things right the first time. A few hundred dollars worth of lumber would have saved tens of thousands of dollars worth of demolition and construction.

This world is full of difficult people and challenging situations. It is easy to blame and it is hard to love. When we blame others our mind of anger and resentments creates a world full of enemies.
On the other hand, love is a beautiful state of mind. It fills our heart with happiness and brings joy to our family and friends. It costs nothing yet is the most powerful method to improve the world we live in. When we look back over our lives do we want to see years of blaming others or years filled with love? We have to make a choice – we cannot do both.
Buddha taught simple, practical, and effective ways to cultivate love in meditation and in daily life. During this talk Gen Kelsang Zopa will look at how we can put these teachings into practice and change our life forever.

The following simple but powerful story brought home to me how destructive hanging on to the past can be. It also made me realize that we alone have the power to do something about it.
"Two monks were on a pilgrimage. One day, they came to a deep river. At the edge of the river, a young woman sat weeping because she was afraid to cross the river without help. She begged the two monks to help her. The younger monk turned his back. The members of their order were forbidden to touch a woman.
But the older monk picked up the woman without a word and carried her across the river. He put her down on the far side and continued his journey. The younger monk came after him, scolding him and berating him for breaking his vows. He went on this way for a long time.
Finally, at the end of the day the older monk turned to the younger one. "I only carried her across the river. You have been carrying her all day."
Just as with the younger monk, we continue to carry the burden of our past with us all day long, often at tremendous cost. However, letting go is difficult and we all have a long list of things we find challenging to leave in the past where it belongs. The list will range from habits, beliefs, ideas, assumptions, through to destructive relationships, guilt, resentment and everything else in between.
Just as with physical clutter, mental and emotional clutter elbows out any possibility of new experiences. If unchecked, our obsession with the past will become our prison. The sad thing is that the present will pass us by and we may lose what is really important in our lives.
Not only does the inability to let go affect our own lives, but it also affects the lives of those around us, particularly the people closest to us. Our burden becomes their burden and we inadvertently damage or destroy our relationships with others by refusing to let go of the past.
In my experience working as a coach over the years, some of my clients have struggled with pending retirement. They found it difficult to make the transition due to their inability to let go of the professional lives they have lived and everything that accompanied it. For so many years they have confused their identities with their job title.
Although we recognize intellectually that letting go is the first step in embracing a new life, accepting it emotionally and living it are two very different things. Tactics such as avoidance and procrastination will only make it worse.
Reflecting on our experiences and resistance helps us to gain awareness and insight into what we need to do in order to break the cycle. It is worth recognizing that we are not our past experiences and circumstances, nor our thoughts. We have the power to walk away from those experiences intact. They do not define who we are.
The things we hang on to often provide us with a reward or payback, even if it is negative in nature. Reflection can go a long way in understanding what the benefits might be and how we can find what we need in other more positive ways.
In order to create and embrace a new future with new experiences, we have to first let go of the old to make room for the new to enter. The first step is to accept the past for what it is. We cannot go back and rewrite history, but we have the choice to move on, no matter how difficult it may seem.
It is easy to get caught up in a downward spiral and convince ourselves that there is no way out. The walls of our prison seem impossible to scale. Yet, there is always a hidden exit, just persevere and the support of a friend or coach may provide the key to unlock the escape route.
Psychology and counseling advocate the need to examine our past in order to embrace the future and that is true. However, there comes a point when continued pontification of the past becomes quicksand from which it is difficult to extricate ourselves.
It requires effort on our part and a willingness to take action as well as thinking. Effort is necessary due to our human reluctance to change. We are creatures of habit even if the habit inflicts pain. Be prepared to come up with compelling and distorted reasons for clinging to the status quo, driven by our fear of the unknown.
At some point we also have to acknowledge and recognize the contribution we have made to past hurts or failures. Taking our share of responsibility for past events gives us the power to choose the present and create a new future. Being the victim keeps us firmly stuck in the past.

Durant utilized the Chevrolet Motor Car Company for a controlling stake in General Motors having an reverse merger happening May 2, 1918 and steered himself back into the GM presidency. Soon after Durant's next ousting at 1919, Alfred Sloan, together with his maxim"a car for every purse and purpose", would pick the Chevrolet brand to become the quantity pioneer at the General Motors family members, selling main stream automobiles to compete with Henry Ford's Model T 1919 and overtaking Ford while the best-selling vehicle while in the USA from 1929.

#18 80′
The 1980s in local and global culture have gained in recent times an unexpected amount of interest, not only from art theoreticians, but also from the youngest generation of artists and viewers. This is perhaps also nostalgia for art that reacts to its time worldwide with an atypical, charged intensity: often with a naive openness.
Looking back, it is in fact the 1980s that are connected with dramatic changes in a politically-divided world, which brought mainly to Central and Eastern Europe a newfound freedom of thought, expression, and creation, but also the attack of globalization, which logically impacted the field of photography as well. In this regard, it is indeed the 1980s that are special in their being anchored in the past, but at the same time through their hope fixed on the coming future. Through all this they gain, mainly for the youngest generation, a slightly unexpected attractiveness of the unknown and that which is irretrievably past.

Social Security pays disability benefits to those who cannot work because they have a medical condition. To receive Social Security Disability Benefits, one must fully meet the disability definition and secure the work requirements necessary in jobs covered.
However, once receiving benefits, it's important that those who can do some work eventually immerse themselves back into a working environment. The immersion process is encouraged through Social Security Work Incentives, special rules that incentivize people with disabilities to slowly head back to the workforce while still receiving monthly payments.
Work Incentives provided by the Social Security Administration include continued benefits, continued Medicare or Medicaid and educational or vocational training or help.
Work Incentives
The first incentive available is the Trial Work Period. Trial Work is a 9-month period in which one can work and receive monthly benefits regardless of how much money he or she is earning. This 9-month trial can take place at any time within a 60-month period. In 2015, any month in which total earnings were more than $780 is considered a Trial Work Month.
An Extended Period of Eligibility is the second work incentive. This Period lasts for 36 months following the conclusion of the Trial Work Period. During this timeframe, people can work and still receive benefits so long as the monthly earnings are not substantial in the eyes of the Social Security Administration. Substantial earnings in 2015 were more than $1,090.
Another Work Incentive, Expedited Reinstatement, is also available for those whose benefits have stopped because of earning substantial wages in the workforce. Benefits can be reinstated without a new social security disability application within five years of the date they ended.
Workers can also look forward to a continuation of Medicare should disability benefits stop because of earnings. Medicare Part A coverage will continue for 93 months following that initial 9-month Trial Work Period.
Another form of a work incentive comes when the Social Security Administration calculates substantial earnings. The Administration can deduct work-related expenses from monthly earnings before deciding if they're too substantial for benefits.
In these cases, work-related expenses might include taxis too and from work should a disability prevent someone from taking public transportation or driving. Any item or service that those without a severe medical condition may not need to pay can be considered and deducted.

Do you have a birthday party coming up? Or do you want to organise a holiday trip with your mates? Why not visit Delta Force; we organise the most action-packed days of paintball adventure for 8 to 17 years olds that will have you and your mates wanting to play paintball with Delta Force again and again!
Imagine hiding behind a giant stone mummy, your comrades flanking to the left and right in support, and you spot the enemy hiding in the centre of the giant pyramid. You focus your aim, steady your gun and fire 7 rounds per second to capture your target and win the game! This is just one battle scenario you will experience in a full day of paintball action with Delta Force. So grab your mates, make a booking and visit any of our centres throughout the UK for your shot at heroism during a day of paintball adventure
If you are looking to organise a special Young Gunz event for a birthday party then speak to our friendly Central Booking Office about what we can do to make your day even more memorable. At Delta Force we enforce a minimum age limit of 8 years at all of our national paintball centres.
Please check the minimum ages by calling our Central Booking Office on 0203 869 9301. Delta Force offers an exciting, safe, convenient and healthy environment for Young Gunz to enjoy an action-packed day of paintball adventure. Our amazing game scenarios offer the perfect weekend or holiday visit for Young Gunz and adults alike. We have almost 20 years of experience in the provision of paintball games, during which time over ONE AND HALF MILLION YOUNG GUNZ have enjoyed the thrill of playing at our centres.
Our trained marshals have years of experience in paintball games, and create exciting game scenarios, whilst ensuring the safety and comfort of all players. We have also introduced full head protection goggles, body armour and protective collars on the combat suits at all of our national paintball centres throughout the UK and Ireland; our way of making your day of paintball as safe, comfortable and exciting as possible.
The safety regulations implemented at Delta Force are second to none; from full head protection goggles and body armour, to 5-Star membership of the UKPBA and full Public Liability Insurance, we pride ourselves on an unparalleled safety record. Children receive full instruction and supervision throughout the day, and all of our senior managers are first aid accredited and have years of experience in the provision of paintball games for Young Gunz. Would you want to play paintball with an operator that doesn't place such a premium importance on player comfort and safety?
Young Gunz must have a parent or guardian sign their consent form before they attend a Delta Force Paintball centre. These forms can be downloaded here.
Paintball is a physically demanding activity and requires certain physical abilities. While Young Gunz with disabilities are welcome to play at Delta Force, parents/guardians need to be aware of the nature of paintball and the game terrain, and make a subsequent decision based on the physical abilities of each player.
To help you with this, we have compiled an 'Information for Parents' guide which can be requested from our friendly central booking office. To make paintball more appropriate for Young Gunz, we provide all players with full head protection goggles, body armour and combat suits with protective collars. You can now play paintball with Delta Force in more comfort and safety than ever before.

"The 2 marshals Zeke and Fifi were great, they did a really good job in looking after the players on my team and controlled the game zones well and kept some players in check. Thanks to both of them and Delta Force."

Carols by candlelight, you would have heard that one before. That is to say that you are one of the many who look forward to that time of the year. To get in the spirit of it all. Yes, that's right folks, it's a spiritual matter, it's not all about the glitter and tinsel. Okay, so yes, that's still going to be important to a lot of you. Nothing wrong with that, so go ahead and enjoy it.
Christmas carols by candlelight, how many times have you been invited. But candlelighting poems farmingdale ny, now that's got to be something for the books.
Speaking of which, you can relate. You all have humdrum days at work sometimes. No matter how richly rewarding it is, there is always routine. So, you could relate to the online writer who churns out your daily commercial copy.
He would love to take a break from it all and focus a bit more on his great American novel. Or his memoirs. Or his prize-winning poetry. He sighed so many times before. It is not always about the money, and wouldn't you just love to write.
But reality bites and it is back to the daily business of the bread and butter. It is a valiant soul who gets to produce poetry by the book. Yes, more than enough to put it all in a book. And just so you know, in many parts of the world, it's becoming more and more difficult to publish poetry in book form.
Sad to be saying it, but the publishers say that there just isn't a market for it anymore. Now that really is sad, folks. Because what could be more beautiful and inspiring, what could be more romantic than poetry, and under the light of the candle too.

16 – 19 November 2017
The Claudia Jones Space Station (CJSS) wa a temporary, living monument named after pioneering Trinidad-born journalist and activist Claudia Jones.
Over four days in November 2017, The Claudia Jones Space Station performed an experiment in community formation, involving visitors, collaborators and participants from across the North East of England.
Inspired by the model of the International Space Station where multiple experiments take place simultaneously, the CJSS invited visitors to take part in a range of workshops, events and screenings organised in partnership with artists, activists and collectives concerned with questions of social justice, from Newcastle, Gateshead and beyond. Private or individual meetings, conversations and exchanges can also take place within the space.
What kind of solidarities can be built between people brought together through common interests?
What kind of futures can we imagine for ourselves, our communities and our planet?
How can the act of monumentalising a neglected 20th century cultural figure such as Claudia Jones ignite revolutionary possibilities for the commons in the 21st century?
The Claudia Jones Research Station was initiated by the …And Beyond Institute for Future Research.
This project was part of Freedom City, commissioned by The NewBridge Project in partnership with BALTIC Centre for Contemporary Art.
Presented across BALTIC & The NewBridge Project : Gateshead

Snow in 2010
There seems to be a real abundance of the white stuff this year. I just finished a shoot for a few magazine covers with a great crew. The model, art director, location, stylist and the weather all cooperated, especially since I wanted snow.
It's fun shooting outdoors and having everything go your way. I used to work as an assistant with an amazing photographer, Bob Bender. It always seemed that when the weather wasn't going to be just right for the shot, Bob would say wait a minute, it's coming, and it did. The clouds would part and the sun would beam right where it was needed. I never had the luck of Bob, but I have learned to bring my own sun, portable lighting, and make those magic moments happen my way.
Anyway here are a couple of those cover shots plus a little blend of the Santa Fe snow from earlier today on my neighbor Jill's house. Please enjoy!

If you are planning for the business presentation file or projects, color copies are better to use than black and white copies. Color copies make your presentation attractive and impressive and can show your commitment and professionalism in the work.
Are You Tired Of Spending Too Much On Wedding Envelope Printing White Bear Lake Mn?
If however you think that color copies are not necessary and would be a waste of money you can use black and white copies and make the work impressive by using the nice envelope for the project. Black and white copies are suitable for many of the work when you want to provide simplicity and some simple designs. These are proper for some of the niches in your business work.
Useful Tips For Buying A Copier
At least 70% of being a great salesperson is based on the ability of the sales rep to ask relevant questions in an open-ended manner. If you are reading this, my guess is that you are considering the acquisition of a new copy system. During my seven year tenure at two leading copier companies, I trained new Sales Trainees in the fine art of asking all of the right questions. It might be helpful to you if you had an idea of what your copier rep SHOULD be asking you. In order to receive the most accurate sales solution for your corporations needs, be prepared to answer the following questions:1. Can you take me on a tour of your facility so that I can see your current equipment? (During the tour, the sales rep should be writing down model numbers, equipment accessories, location, and copy volume.)2. How many black/white copies do you make monthly? Color copies? Is your volume seasonal or even throughout the year? Do you see any reason for your volume to increase or decrease throughout the next 2-3 year period? (Volume is an indication of the speed and size of equipment you require.) 3. How many Black/White Prints do you make monthly? Color prints? Is your volume seasonal or even throughout the year? Do you see any reason for your volume to increase or decrease throughout the next 2-3 year period? How many scans do you send and receive monthly? How many faxes do you send and receive monthly? (You are being asked this question because the digital imaging product line is now multifunctional and systems can copy and print in monochrome and color, scan and fax. Providing you with an all-in-one system often leads to substantial cost savings.)4. Do you currently outsource any printing or copying jobs, particularly color copies and prints? (The rep wants to assess whether or not she can save you any money by bringing any of those jobs in-house and completing the work on the new system.)5. Do you currently lease your system? If so, from whom? When does your lease expire? What is your current payment? Do you want to return your current system to the leasing company when the new one arrives? Do you own your current system? Do you want a quote for a trade-in amount on the old system? (Lease buyouts are a tricky thing and your rep wants to make sure you even have the option to end your lease and return your current equipment. The rep also doesn't want any surprises if you expect a trade-in on your equipment.)6. Do you have the following information in writing regarding your current lease: lease expiration date, buyout to return amount, buyout to keep amount and return instructions for the equipment? (The rep wants to make sure you have everything in writing so that she can figure the buyout of your current lease into the proposal for your new equipment.)7. If you could change anything about your current model, what would it be? If you could change anything about your current vendor, what would it be? (You can bet that the rep's product and company is going to be pitched to be everything you want and more.) 8. Do you wish to purchase or lease your new equipment? What amount have you budgeted for this acquisition? (The rep wants to find out if your cost expectations are reasonable. If you wish to lease, the rep might not even show you an actual purchase amount. If you want to see a cash purchase amount make sure you tell your rep to design her proposal accordingly.)9. What do you look for in a new vendor? (She wants to find out what criteria you will base your decision on.)10. When do you want your new equipment installed? (She wants to know how quickly you intend to make a decision and just how important this acquisition is in your long list of priorities.)If a digital imaging rep does not ask you some variation of these questions, I would seriously question the professionalism and thoroughness of the rep and the company he represents.

Envelope Printing OnlineUsing Envelope Printing to get Envelopes Opened!Envelopes are often an overlooked aspect in mail shot marketing, as people rarely consider envelope printing to help ensure people actually read the sales letter contained inside. That sales letter is useless, unless people actually open the envelope to read it.A good way to get an envelope opened is to print teaser text on the envelope, a question, a hint, or a promise, that is answered in the literature inside the envelope. To do this on a large scale, you will need to find a good envelope printing company, or get a very tired arm writing teaser text on every envelope! Another thing you can do is add color to your printing design, anything that makes it stand out from the other envelopes that arrive by post in the morning. Go over the top and it will look like junk mail, but something simple and intriguing will do wonders.All in all, printing is an important part of your overall mail shot marketing plan, so don't overlook it. The more envelopes that are opened, the more successful contacts (and sales) you will make.Your wonderfully conceptualized and artfully produced mailing package can stop dead in its tracks at the US Post Office if anything is outside USPS specifications. This could be because of size, aspect ratio, thickness, contrast between envelope paper and ink, information showing through the window, and any and all address information, teaser information, etc., printed anywhere on the envelope. Do yourself a favor. Make sure your printing company knows all the specifications and requirements so that your printing job will be successful and useful.
Color copies are best when they come out of a new (latest technology) machine.

Today's meter can be refilled via your phone line for up to $1,000 in postage simply by setting up an account with USPS. Under federal law however, they are the only postal machines that must be leased and cannot be purchased. Most models offer auto feeds, envelope sealing and stacking to expedite your mail preparation. They offer security features, and account coding that enable you to keep accurate records of money spent for your mailing projects. Assessing Your Mailing NeedsFor smaller businesses, first concern in purchasing new equipment is often price. Large businesses often focus on time saving and cost effective features when purchasing or upgrading equipment. The most important aspect in purchasing or upgrading your postal equipment is assessing your company's needs. Here are a few questions you will need to answer when determining your company's requirements:Are your mailings needs low, medium or high volume?How much do you spend on your postage daily, monthly, yearly?What are your primary types of mailing, i.e., letters, postcards, parcels, business articles, etc?What product features are necessary?What is your budget and what pricing are you looking for?What equipment are you lacking that will help streamline your mailing operations?Will you need training, service or support options?After you've determined you needs, go ahead and shop around to find the best 21st century mail products and solutions for your business and guarantee your company's success every time.

DJ Samantha Ronson was injured in a bike accident on Saturday.
Earlier today, Lindsay Lohan's former girlfriend tweeted a picture of herself showing the extent of the damage. Ronson was required to get nine stitches for the injury.
"Let this be a lesson... if you have a driver's license you probably don't need to be on a bmx bike (sic)," she wrote. The photograph was captioned "Wear a helmet, kids!"
Ronson went on to tell followers that the accident occurred when she was trying to avoid a car, denying earlier press reports that she had been hit by a vehicle.
She also posted a link to the video for brother Mark's track 'The Bike Song', joking that she had been trying to recreate the clip when the accident happened.
The DJ's dog was recently banned from West Hollywood after allegedly killing another pet in Ronson's apartment building.
Lohan and Ronson have been getting on well in the past few months. The troubled actress moved in next door to Ronson after leaving the Betty Ford Clinic in January. Since then, the two have been spotted at dinner together.

Lobstering Locally
Take your bug-hunting adventures beyond the famed hotspots to these destinations across the state.
When most folks think of spiny lobster, they picture the Florida Keys and the bug-hunting hotspots of Islamorada, Marathon and Big Pine Key. But while this stretch of coastline is no doubt the most famous lobster diving spot in the world, you can also catch these tasty crustaceans off Fort Lauderdale, Palm Beach and other Atlantic and Gulf Coast cities as well.
Atlantic Coast
Lobster larvae ride the Gulf Stream and drop off along the deepwater reefs off Miami, Fort Lauderdale and Palm Beach. There are no crowds; you might find a reef all to yourself. The diving is a bit more challenging, but the rewards are well worth the effort. An added plus, you can dive at night.
Gulf of Mexico
One of the best-kept secrets of the state's SCUBA scene is the Gulf of Mexico and the big, fat, lumbering lobsters that make it their home. The lobsters here are not as plentiful as they are in the Florida Keys, but they tend to grow much larger. This is where you'll find some real monsters. To catch your share, hop aboard a dive boat out of Clearwater, Sarasota or Fort Myers.
Tips from a Pro
Lobster hunting is not like picking daisies. With one flip of the tail, these critters can take off in a flash. Successful lobster hunters use brain not brawn. The trick – use a "tickle" stick to coax the lobster into a net. Remember they swim backwards, so get the net behind them and approach slowly.
And if lobstering isn't your bag, try snorkeling for scallops off Steinhatchee in July and stone crabs around Tampa Bay in October. Harvesting regulations vary around the state. For more information, including license requirements and regulations, go to www.MyFWC.com.

Scottsdale Airport
DC Ranch Engagement Plan for Scottsdale Airport – View Here
[Click here for the latest updates]
What is Scottsdale Airport?
Located a within five miles of DC Ranch, the Scottsdale Airport is owned and operated by the City of Scottsdale, but the Federal Aviation Administration manages aircraft in flight and establishes flight patterns.
Established in 1966, the airport serves as an economic engine for the city. In a 2014 study, aviation activity at the Scottsdale Airport/Airpark created $536 million annually in total economic benefits. These funds pay for many of the amenities that make Scottsdale a desirable city to live and work; and help maintain and grow home values.
Many DC Ranch residents use the Scottsdale Airport for their business and personal travel.
When purchasing a home in DC Ranch, the escrow process includes potential buyers receiving a copy of all DC Ranch CC&Rs. These documents state that DC Ranch lies in very close proximity to the Scottsdale Airport, informing buyers that they will experience air traffic noise.
As a public airport, Scottsdale Airport is required to be available for public use 24 hours a day, seven days a week. However, the airport encourages flights to take place after 6 a.m. and prior to 10 p.m.
Scottsdale Airport has developed an 11-point Noise Abatement Procedure. To date, the airport has been receptive to DC Ranch input on Scottsdale air traffic and will follow up on concerns and feedback as much as possible. Airport representatives have also shared information on Sky Harbor NextGen changes and impacts of that program on Scottsdale Airport, as the change in flight patterns due to NextGen has directly impact the flight patterns out of Scottsdale Airport.
How can residents engage?
Residents interested in Scottsdale Airport's operations may apply to serve on the Scottsdale Airport Advisory Commission or attend and speak at an Airport Advisory Commission meeting.
Management at the Scottsdale Airport has expressed interest in hearing from residents who encounter excessive noise from landings or take-offs from their airport. Residents are asked to call the Scottsdale Airport Hotline and include the date and time of the flight. Providing specific information enables airport staff to better identify and follow up with the appropriate pilot regarding compliance with requirements and possible procedural changes to mitigate noise.
Scottsdale Airport hotline: 480-312-FLYS (3597)
Complaints or compliments may also be submitted here.
How will DC Ranch be involved?
The DC Ranch Community Council will continue to foster an open and communicative relationship with various Scottsdale Airport governance groups and staff members. The intent is to work collaboratively to ensure noise mitigation procedures are being followed and that, as technology changes, new procedures may be put into place.
Latest Updates
February 2019
Scottsdale Airport sent a recent reminder that their busy season has begun. Residents who feel a pilot may not be following their Noise Abatement Policy are asked to report the incident to airport staff on the Scottsdale Airport hotline: 480-312-FLYS (3597) or online: submitted here.
September 20, 2018
DC Ranch residents are invited to attend the Scottsdale Airport Open House on Saturday, Nov. 3 from 3 to 6 p.m. Having just completed a major renovation, the airport celebration will include tours, airplane displays, interactive stations, and kids' activities, along with entertainment and refreshments courtesy of Volanti Restaurant and Scottsdale Hangar Events. Located at 15000 North Airport Drive, the event is free but attendees are asked to register.
July 2018
Scottsdale City Council approved an architectural and engineering services contract with Mead & Hunt to provide design services for nine projects at the Scottsdale Airport.
The projects under the contract with Mead & Hunt are:
• Reconstruction of runway 03/21;
• Rehabilitation of taxiway C;
• Construction of taxiways B2, B9 & B15;
• Construction of security fencing;
• Replacement of wind cones;
• Reconstruction of city shades/hangar ramps;
• Rehabilitation of kilo (K) ramp; and
• Rehabilitation of a perimeter road.
March 2018
The City of Scottsdale's $25 million terminal area redevelopment project is intended to create a new hub at the Scottsdale Airport and larger airpark area by enhancing and upgrading the former terminal area, a city council report states.
The airport has begun executing lease agreements for its terminals and in-the-works aviation business center that will generate just over $1 million per year, local aviation experts contend.
At a February Scottsdale City Council meeting, three items related to the Scottsdale Airport were passed on consent, 7-0, by elected leaders:
• A lease amendment with Gemini Air Group, Inc. for space at the airport;
• A contract with Scottsdale West Holdings, LLC for lease of space in the aviation business center; and
• A contract with Volanti Restaurant and Lounge, LLC for lease space inside the aviation business center.

Remind clients about Daylight Savings Time
Gladys G replied to Debbie Lynn's topic in General Business DiscussionsSo glad I live in SK where we get to ignore the time changes. Sometimes we are the same time as MB, sometimes we are the same time as AB. Sometimes I think it would be easier to just go along with the same time changes as the rest of you. Gladys
Jocelyn I know you're RIGHT! I know YOU'RE right! I KNOW you're right! Thank you. I will wish my 'would be' client a Happy New Year and then I'm moving on. If she wants my help, she knows where to find me. Gladys
Hi Lauren Know exactly what you mean. I've been talking to a potential client since Sept - even have a signed contract - but have not been given any work yet. We talk every week or so and she seems like a lovely person, great sense of humor, real passion for the things she wants to accomplish but that's it. Frustrating! I can't decide if it's a problem with delegating or if she's over whelmed by the number of things she has on her plate. Hopefully, we can both decide over the holidays where and how we want to continue. Gladys
Holiday Recipe Favorites
Gladys G replied to maplewoodva's topic in It's Punch Out Time! Coffee Break ForumOn the topic of recipies and holidays, etc.: My daughter loves to cook - me not so much. She loves to get recipe books as gifts. If I buy her a recipe book, I keep it for a year or so and try out some of the recipes. I write comments in the margins about the ones I liked or didn't like or I give suggestions as to what I would change if I was going to use that recipe again. She says the comments are the best parts of the book. A couple of years ago, we started doing the 'comment' thing in other books that we give as gifts. Even my boys are getting into the act now. We all seem to like the idea of getting books that we know have been read and enjoyed - or not - by the giver. It makes the gift more personal some how. We also make jokes about how they were told as kids not to write in their books. Turns out that was a stupid rule! Gladys
Preferred Communication
Gladys G replied to sydnee21's topic in General Business DiscussionsI think it depends on what is being communicated. If I am updating client on what has happened to date, a weekly email is usually enough. If I am advising client on his upcoming appointments, a daily email is usually enough. If I am helping a client set up a new business, a phone call works best because most of our questions start with, "What do you think about.....". Those questions seem to need immediate answers; I don't want to wait until she gets around to checking her email. (She is still working at a 'real' job and is often with clients and can't respond immediately.) As you can see, there are a lot of 'if's' and 'usually's' in my reply. I don't think there is a right or wrong answer. It all depends on the client. Gladys
"I poot"
Gladys G replied to Sherra's topic in It's Punch Out Time! Coffee Break ForumMy Girlfriend had two little boys, eleven months apart, and ended up potty training them both at the same time. She wanted to make it a "fun" experience so she emptied all the water from the toilet bowl and then painted a bullseye style target on the back of the toilet bowl with bright red nailpolish and replaced the water. It took her about 3 days to train her boys, plus all the neighbours' boys. Even the Daddy's that went to her house for grown-up hockey parties learned to hit the target. Sometimes we'd hear them in the bathroom shouting, "He shoots, he scores!" Gladys
Holiday Recipe Favorites
Gladys G replied to maplewoodva's topic in It's Punch Out Time! Coffee Break ForumOK, Dana, here's the meat loaf my family likes: (All other meatloaf attempts are referred to as 'hamburger suprise') Meat Loaf Canadian Style 2 eggs, beaten 1/4 cup milk 1/2 cup fine dry bread crumbs 1/4 cup finely chopped onion 2 Tbsp snipped parsley 1 tsp salt 1/2 tsp ground sage 1/8 tsp black pepper 1-1/2 lb ground beef Combine eggs and milk in bowl. Stir in bread crumbs, onion, parsley, salt, sage and pepper. Add ground beef and pat into 8x4x2 inch loaf pan. Bake, uncovered, at 350º for 1-1/4 hours. Spoon off excess fat. Sauce: 1/4 cup ketchup 2 Tbsp brown sugar 1 tsp dry mustard Mix together; spread over meat loaf and return to oven for 10 minutes. Gladys
Client is asking for an answering service
Gladys G replied to Regina B's topic in General Business DiscussionsRegina, I have one client who supplies the cell phone and forwards his calls to that cell phone when he is busy. He pays for the phone and at first, he paid per call. Now he pays a flat fee for the service (which benefits me since I chose the amount and he didn't argue). The calls can be answered anywhere - grocery store, back yard, whatever - so I'm not tied to the house. Second client forwards calls to a designated land line at my house during certain hours only. The extra line costs me $4 per month and has its own ring tone so nobody else answers it. I never take her calls before 1PM so that leaves mornings to be out and about and I can even go for lunch if I want to. She also pays a flat rate for the service and it covers the cost of the extra line quite well. Gladys
Tanker - good job on responding to the survey. I agree with your answers regarding employees,/ owner operators and small fleet owners. I would like to add that with most of the trucking companies I have experience with have someone who double checks ALL the paperwork that comes in from their drivers - especially log books. They can be in a lot od do-do if drivers are messing up on 15 minutes here or there. Dana - good point re electronic logs. Again, I only have experience with drivers that travel Canada and US. The rules change when you cross the border. Wonder how that would work? Good point on passing big trucks, too. Having driven myself, I can tell you that I have much more respect for MOST of the 18-wheelers than I have for MOST of the 4-wheelers. Gladys
Holiday Recipe Favorites
Gladys G replied to maplewoodva's topic in It's Punch Out Time! Coffee Break ForumLooks good, Ruth. Think I'll try it. I don't like to spend anymore time in the kitchen than absolutely necessary. But I do like to eat! Reminds me of the Snowman Poop I found at a craft sale in Alberta somewhere. It was 1/2 cup of white miniature marshmellows in a baggie, tied with a pretty ribbon. Sold for $2.95 I think, and they were going like hot cakes! Gladys
oh, Dana, does this mean you're not interested in pursuing this niche? You are so funny. I could actually smell the diesel fumes! My DH is not well organized but his log books are never more than 6 hours behind. He likes to have everything in order for the scale boys and the border crossing guys, too. He drives US/Canada every week. I can't imagine trying to do log books once a week. Gladys
Another Joke for the Guys
Gladys G replied to a topic in It's Punch Out Time! Coffee Break ForumSally, I love this video. I forwarded it to my two sons - one is a brand new husband - and to my new "Son-in-law Wannabe" (aka Sin-in-law). I'm sure my DD and DIL will thank me! Gladys
Hi Angie My husband is a truck driver, too (O/O) and I've also been thinking about targeting this group. Like Dana, there is no way I want to work with MY husband. There was a time when he and I actually drove together - yes, I still have my Class 1A license - but we were newly-weds then so that worked better than it would now. ;-) I'd like to talk to you about this niche. Maybe we can help each other. Gladys
Need Canadian Book Publishing Company
Gladys G replied to Tawnya Sutherland's topic in Sales Copy & CopywritingDepends what kind of book you're working with but here are a couple.... New Society Publishers, Gabriola Island Oolichan Books, Lantzville BC Orca Book Publishers, Victoria BC Ronsdale Press, Vancouver I've talked to very nice people at Coteau Books. Think they are in Regina, SK Gladys
Keeping Personal Records - how far back?
Gladys G replied to a topic in Bookkeeping, Taxes and Legal StuffMy DH has been a long-haul trucker for 40+ years. He filled out a trip sheet for each and every trip he ever made. And he has kept them all! I asked him why we need to have these things taking up space in the basement and he said he liked to keep them in case he wanted to remember when he was in One-Horse-Town, KY or where he spent his birthday in 1970. We have been married for 10 years. I have yet to see him go down there and try to find a specific trip sheet. Two weeks ago his accountant asked for a document from his 2007 tax return. He couldn't find the document - or the tax return. (Took me about 2 minutes to find it, fax it and file it back where it belongs.) I think we have a problem........ Gladys

A COMMUNITY shop established and run by volunteers has received a windfall payment from local fuel company, Rix Petroleum.
Gaydon Village Store, Warwickshire, was presented with a cheque for £205 by Paul Doherty, director of Rix Petroleum (Midlands) Ltd.
The money was raised through a Rix Heating Oil Club set up 3 years ago, enabling deliveries of domestic heating oil to be grouped into a singular bulk order, allowing members to benefit from lower fuel prices.
Sue Roberts, chair of the shop management committee, said the village are really benefitting from the scheme.
"It is a marvellous system because the oil club helps make fuel more affordable for people and the money we get back from it helps the wider community. It's win-win for all really."
Last year Coleshill-based Rix Petroleum (Midlands) Ltd donated £177 to Gaydon Village Shop through the oil club and Mr Doherty said as a local firm he was delighted to be contributing to the project for a third year running.
He said: "By delivering to the members all on the same day we reduce our carbon footprint and traffic movements within the village. The members get heating oil at the lowest available price and a donation towards community projects.
"Gaydon Village Shop has established itself as an invaluable part of the village over the past three years, on which many residents rely. Last year the management committee made excellent use of the money we raised so I'm really pleased to be able to donate to them again."
The shop was opened in 2010 by volunteers after the village had been without a store for around 25 years.
Around 20 local people are involved with running the business which is based in an old storage barn in the car park of the Malt Shovel pub.
