You can find dozens of Internet markets selling spy gadgets. Most often they are semi-anonymous on-line shops offering Chinese miniature video cameras and dictaphones. Sometimes you can run into more original gadgets, from GSM-bugs to night vision devices.
Gadgets-Reviews decided to systemize the information of all spy devices available for the moment. We are not going to advertise any models and foist them on purchasers. Our material is intended to be exclusively analytical. We are just interesting in the extent of up-to-date digital technologies sophistication and their availability for ordinary customers.
Spying on somebody, you offend against his or her rights. One must either let a person know beforehand about one's intention, or stop spying. There is no sense in disputing! One must not offend against law and purchase portable video cameras by stealth. One must be careful purchasing a device not to offend against legislation of one's country.
Spy gadgets for kids
Spy gadgets for kids are unlikely to attract the attention of secret services. Is there any boy that doesn't dream of becoming a secret agent? When a kid, everyone would often organize special operations and shadow villains in one's yard.
The demand for such games generates the offer from the Chinese manufacturers. The same Internet-markets offer a robust product range to the parents of future "James Bonds". Some products are nothing more than simple toys. Others possess a certain technical potential.
Thus, accessories like "disk Blaster" or "glowing hand" are called "spy" ones only for the sake of the best marketing effect. It's clear that diode tubes-fingers shine spectacularly in darkness and let the child fancy that he is Freddy Krueger… . Nevertheless, this device is practically of no use. The same is true about the blaster which can only fire with plastic discs for the distance of 20 meters. However, children buy them willingly: Chinese toys have always been and remain the hits of sales.
For $7-8 you may find "night vision binoculars" for kids. Sounds cool. Provided that you are unaware that the effect of night vision is provided by a flashlight attached to the device :) It is this flashlight that will ensure the 7.5 m view field (what enemy can be shadowed at such a distance is a great question).
Primitive motion sensors cost about the same money. Such sensor can detect the motion at the distance of 1.5 m. If someone crosses the invisible ray, the characteristic sound signal will be heard. This device may be used by adults as well, for example, to follow their child moving about the nursery. Though, to rely upon similar technical devices is not wise as they break often and can be easily "fooled up".
The best of spy gadgets for kids are voice encoders, pens with invisible ink, and pretty good radios. Though they are 2-3 times more expensive than other toys, their functionality is worth it.
A wrist cheating watch deserves separate discussing. The gadget is labeled as a "good for school", but it will fit for University exams too. This is a watch-crib imitating an ordinary wrist watch. An electronic crib can turn the pages independently and, when necessary, it can be blocked by pressing, turning into an ordinary watch. The display supports *txt and *Jpeg formats. This gadget appears to be the most original spy device for kids.
Spy gadgets: mini-Dictaphones, FM-bugs, GSM-bugs, phone bugs
It is difficult to see the boarder that separates an ordinary legal Dictaphone from a mini-Dictaphone designed to be engaged in shadowing and espionage.
Spy mini-Dictaphones
Such Dictaphones can record the sound coming from a definite direction at the distance of 15 m and decrease significantly the noise background of microphones.
Thanks to what is it achieved? If the object being recorded is located sideways, away from the direction of microphones action, the signal is extinguished due to the resulting difference of phases of sound. In case the object being recorded is placed directly towards the action of microphones, the sound waves are summed up and the signal increases. Many models possess also the function of noise reduction of their own microphones.
Do you know the parameters of spy Dictaphones? How do you like this: 7-12 gm and 1 inch long?
Despite their size, these Dictaphones are professional sound recording devices and are intended to perform high-quality audio recording under the unfavorable conditions of complex acoustics and far distance.
The most of "spy Dictaphones" are made in China. Among them there are pretty cool devices which may be used even by security services. As a rule, the devices of such level are protected by PIN code, an electrical wave blocker and a strong metal case.
Bugs for wiretapping
It is worth to discuss separately so-called "bugs". Electronic devices can provide on-line wiretapping or record audio on remote media. These devices are absolutely prohibited.
FM-bugs and GSM-bugs are especially popular in Internet-shops. FM-bugs can transmit sound in a radius of up to 250 m for 110 h uninterruptedly. To be able to listen to broadcasting in the given radio bug, one should turn on any radio operating in the FM diapason (mobile phone, smart phone, car stereo) and catch the signal varying in the average range from 92 to 103 MHZ, that is all.
GSM-bugs sometimes mask as computer devices. They may be hidden even in line filters. To work successfully such transmitter needs a special SIM-card which the "spy" must call on. At calling, the wiretapping bug "lifts the handset" automatically, allowing you to hear the environment. A GSM-bug stores your phone number automatically and so it calls on you when any noise is occurring in the room where it is situated in.
One may also purchase a "telephone bug" on-line. It is designed to be put into one's own phone, and not the phone of anybody else. It can record any useful information, e.g. threads in one's address which may afterwards serve as evidence in court.
The hidden camera shoots you on location: alarm clock cameras, pen cameras, wrist watch cameras
The up-to-date video technologies are possible to use not only against law. For example, video babysitters are well known to everybody, they help parents to follow their babies. Or let's take security cameras that provide the inviolability of private territories.
However, spyware on-line shops offer a great deal of less innocent devices. As a rule, under a tag "video" they offer micro cameras. In this field the fantasy of Chinese developers is fertile. They push lenses and other "filling" of various qualities into the unimaginable places! We succeeded to find alarm clock cameras, pen cameras, lipstick cameras and brooch cameras! Some cameras are masked in different sort: they are fixed as a "bug" in any place hard to reach and work there as long as the battery permits (the permission is various, from half an hour to several hours).
At the majority of portals the top-list of buyers includes a water-proof watch with HD camera and a pen camera made as a gold pen of luxury-class. The first micro camera can record video of HD format with 1280*960 resolution and has 8 gigabytes of internal memory. The spy thing possesses a mini Dictaphone with a sensitive microphone able to record at the distance of to 15 m. The installed accumulator provides video recording continuously for 120 min.
What concerns pen cameras, their picture resolution is about 640*480. The accumulator will last for to 90 min of continuous video shooting. Budget models are designed for operative and rapid shooting of accidents and extreme situations. The video is recorded in AVI format and is easily readable by any players, computers and smart phones.
The manufacturer of these models is unknown and we couldn't find any reviews estimating the working quality of these devices. Users of these models are most likely to disguise since they are not willing to instigate special services, police and other unfriendly organizations against themselves.
Alarm-clock camera – unlimited recording time
If spy watches and pens are designed to operate autonomously beyond the flat, an alarm-clock camera is directed to shoot home video. As a rule, it is used to monitor the behavior of one's family members: a jealous husband places the alarm-clock at bedside to control his wife, strict parents peep at their teenagers, using such chronometer.
A significant advantage of this device is that it has the unlimited time to record the video (this period may be determined by the size of the SD-card only).
We are not going to discuss a moral aspect of the problem since this is what everybody must decide for himself.
Tracking Systems
The separate shelf in spy shops is occupied by "tracking systems". Of course, they are not professional systems but much simpler ones. In fact, Internet-shops offer the set of web-cameras of various qualities tied to one's PC or laptop. Special soft synchronizes the image with each camera of the set onto a special multi-screen.
A budget tracking system may be purchased for not more than $150. It includes a pair of cameras, a powerful hard disk and software. More perfect models cost more. They permit to monitor one's house corridors and the adjacent territory.
The dream of James Bond: the devices of night vision, rangefinders, wiretapping silencers, blockers
The assortment of spy markets is not bounded by audio- and video recording devices. Gadgets-Reviews Portal attracts your attention to the most unusual "secret" gadgets and devices.
For example, any hunter or fisherman can appreciate high the devices of night vision. Pay attention that the most of such devices being sold are monoculars. The point here is that the system of night vision made as binoculars costs too much for an ordinary buyer. What concerns monoculars, they may be bought for $300, and even for 150.
One more "hunting cool thing" is a laser rangefinder. These gadgets cost as much as the devices of night vision do but perform quite different functions. Laser aiming helps to determine the exact distance and correct the shot, no difference what it is fired from, even from a bow. Thus, the rangefinder Legend 1200 ARC detects the distance to 1100 m instantly at calculating the true horizontal distance, basing on ground decline angle by means of ARC technology. As a rule, the devices are equipped with a ballistic calculator and minimal software. Also, they are water- and shockproof.
Spy gadgets which protect from spy gadgets: blockers and silencers
The whole series of spy gadgets protects…from spy gadgets. Some of them find hidden cameras professionally. Their work is based on a rather simple mechanism.
Any camera or video bug has an object-glass containing a lens. The devices work to detect lights which are reflected by the lens of a hidden video camera. The detector emits a powerful light flow of red spectrum. When the light reaches the lens of a hidden camera, this light is reflected by the detector's object-glass, and the user can see a bright flare which can't be confused with anything else (usual things don't give bright flares).
The same series includes the blockers of GSM- and FM-bugs which stop the signal of wiretap installed.
There are hardcore blockers working with the signals of cell phones. Devices legally available only for special services are easy to find in Internet. Blockers stop calls and SMS coming from a certain location. Such devices may be used by quick-witted lecturers at exams to prevent students from using phone Internet, or by persons who become furious because of unwanted calls during a theatre or cinema performance. Nevertheless, we are aware that using such devices is illegal.
Instead of P.S.
Working with this material, we read dozens of comments of users displeased with legal prohibition to use "spy things".
Did it ever occur to you that the most famous manufacturers in the hi-tech world have never put anything like that on the market? You can never find a spy pen by Sony or Samsung! All similar things are being produced by Chinamen that aren't afraid of law by some reason. As a result, we have rather low quality of all devices mentioned, the absence of adequate system of warranty, constant "bugs" and "lags".
It doesn't mean that there is no social demand for such devices. However, the problem of "spy things" legalization can't be solved fast. Till now the "Contra" arguments outweigh those of "Pro".

Bond market surprises analysts, ends low on high note: The economic recovery was supposed to put the damper on bonds' stellar run. But this year's bond market defied expectations. (RACHEL BECK, 12/30/04, Associated Press)
The bond market wasn't supposed to finish out the year this way. With the dollar slumping, the U.S. economy improving and the Federal Reserve taking action to keep growth in check, the good times were supposed to fizzle.
But that didn't happen. In fact, it turns out the yield on the 10-year Treasury note -- the benchmark for everything from mortgage rates to how much corporations have to pay to borrow money -- might close out 2004 lower than where it started.
Sure, that's higher than the near half-century lows that the yield dropped to more than a year and a half ago, but this market hasn't been performing over the last 12 months like anyone expected.
It's starting to sound a bit like a broken record when you talk about bonds. Over the last year or so, there have been forecasts predicting an imminent retreat leading to prices dropping and yields rising -- they move in opposite directions.
And at points along the way, it has looked like the pullback was beginning. Then the market would switch course.
This seesawing has surprised many market watchers, who believed it was inevitable that yields would surge as more bearish factors loomed over the bond market.
The bond market appears appears to have figured out deflation, even if few others have. Posted by Orrin Judd at December 30, 2004 9:11 AM
Geez, people obsessing about exchange rates didn't notice things that actually matter happening. What a surprise.Posted by: David Cohen at December 30, 2004 10:02 AM
Like you I've always felt that exchange rates were a waste of energy and playing them was like betting on a crooked roulette wheel. The only time I pay attention is when I have to travel.Posted by: Bart at December 30, 2004 4:10 PM
I used to pay attention while traveling, but then Visa started giving better rates than any exchange and atms joined international networks. So now I don't even worry about it while traveling.Posted by: David Cohen at December 30, 2004 4:20 PM

One major part of the construction in Kenya is sustainability. LIA is aware that Christianity is waning in the West (both Europe and the US) and it seems like a good policy to not rely on continuous giving from churches in the West. Sadly, it's almost expected that in the near future, Africans will be sending missionaries to the US.
Because of this, were designing in as much self-sufficiency as possible at the center. What does this mean? It means grey water reuse. Rain catchment. Solar power. Wind power. Hydro power. Gardening. Livestock. Using local materials as much as possible. Local masons and workers are used. Damming up a creek and stocking it with fish. For the last few years, oddly enough, I've been learning about aquaponics, gardening, rotational grazing (thanks to Joel Salatin!), and recently I met a neighbor that is retired from the renewable energy sector who gave me several ideas. Given the wind falling from the Ngong Hills, it's a natural, renewable energy source. We've already installed a solar powered well pump that will transfer water to a cistern at the top of the property. From there, the water will be gravity fed to all the buildings on the property. I'm looking into ways to harness that energy by installing several small in-line hydro power generators.
Not only is this a cost benefit, but is also good stewardship of what God has given us - the sun, the wind, and the rain. As an added bonus for all the Dave Ramsey lovers out there - this whole project is being paid for with cash. No debt is being taken on to pay for anything.
From an architectural standpoint, most of the construction is masonry. (see below...straight, clean wood is difficult to come by and the termites in Africa are ferocious) Additionally, we will not have air conditioners. Living in Houston, that's anathema to me but the weather is pretty mild in Nairobi. The elevation is around 5700', the annual temperatures range between 45°-85°F, and the humidity levels are roughly between 50%-80%. So, we employ a few tricks to keep us comfortable.
In hot, low-humidity areas, humidity and shade are your friend (think Arizona & New Mexico). If you've ever been to Las Vegas, they have misters spraying you while you walk to the next casino to lose your money. The added humidity increases evaporative cooling on your skin. This can be used on roof tops by having timed sprayers coat the roof with water, which cools the roof as the water evaporates. Evaporation requires heat so as the water vaporizes, it takes heat with it, cooling off the roof. Also, we use things like thermal mass to regulate the temperature inside the buildings. The sun heats up the concrete or stone mass during the day, then releases that heat in the evening when the temperatures drop and is thereby cool again during the warmer parts of the day.
In hot, high-humidity areas, wind is your friend (think Gulf Coast states in the US). That's why just about every house in the humid south has several ceiling fans. The air movement helps with evaporation, which cools you down.
In our case, we'll be using thermal mass and shade, but also trying to direct the sometimes forceful wind falling off the hills to our benefit. Simple things like door and window placement play a big role here. Solar chimneys can be used - as they heat up the air inside them, the hot air rises and draws cooler air into the house. Thomas Jefferson used this principle at Monticello by using gas jets to heat the air in an interior dome. Similarly, Glenn Murcutt in Australia has used exhaust vents that employ the Venturi effect to draw hot air out of a house and cool air in. I'm also looking into geothermal cooling by running pipes through the ground that can feed cooled air into the house.
We're always looking for people to partner with us - whether that's through financial means or in this case, expertise! If you're an engineer, expert, amateur, whatever - I'd love to talk to you! We're always looking for creative ways to solve the problems of design.


text: Before and after photos of a 21 year old male from Linden, NJ, who is 5'6 and 185 lbs. He had been enduring a condition called Gynecomastia, which results from a formation of glandular tissue underneath the male breast causing an enlargement. This is a condition that is not uncommon to occur in adolescent boys but it generally corrects itself with age. At 21 years of age, this patient had seen no improvement. He decided to consulted with Dr. Blau, board certified plastic surgeon with over 20 years experience because he had learned of his superlative reputation as a leading expert across the globe for his knowledge and experience in Gynecomastia surgery and is also a well-accomplished author on the subject. He was further impressed to learn that Dr. Blau is an award-winning painter and sculptor. Male breast reduction surgery was performed, excising the glandular tissue, followed by a small amount of liposuction. The incision is only an inch in diameter and discreet. The patient is very happy with the outcome and is enjoying a new self-confidence.

Q: "There are items in my "discard pile" that might be worth some money, I think I should try to sell them on Craigslist (on Ebay) (at a garage sale) (at a consignment store); what's your advice?"
A: Think of it this way...you have only so much personal energy to spend every day. IF you have extra time and energy to take pictures, write a detailed description with measurements, post, answer emails, plan "the drop", make "the drop" then Go For It!!!!!
If, however, you're like most of us and time and energy is at a premium...
Consider these 3 reasons NOT to sell your cast-off items & donate instead:
- Even though you may not "make the cash" you save yourself LOADS of time and energy. IF you were to put a price on your time, ($50, $100, $200/hour?) and you add up the hours it takes to "make the sale"...is it worth it?
- Your donation will be a HUGE gift to the person who discovers it--bringing untold JOY and HAPPINESS to others--the best kind of anonymous giving :)
- Your donation to St. Vincent de Paul or Goodwill is a tax deduction and could "give back" to your financial situation by saving on your taxes at the end of the year.
So, the next time you have the urge to squirrel things away in the back bedroom, garage, or basement because you think you might like to sell them, pause for a moment. Think again, take a deep breath (Ahhhhhhh) and ask:
Let me know what you decide--I love hearing from you!
Also, do you know someone else who might find this post useful? Share, if you're inspired, we've added a couple of new people to our online community this week (Hi, Jennifer, and Sandy!) and LOVE to grow our family.
Lots of Love,
"The kids are playing games in the new family room! The process of decluttering and then creating a beautiful space that my family actually uses was fun with Jane's gentle/skilled/fierce guidance" ~Ann J.

Daily Drawing - "hatched"
I know it's a week early but the festivities of this past weekend made me want to post this one today. It's kind of fun getting into the whole Easter thing for Sam.
Still busy painting Sam's room. I'll be finished later today. I have a whole new respect for people who paint like that for a living. I have managed to get paint everywhere! And I'm afraid to take that tape off.
I'll post pics soon.
Happy Monday.
Today's drawing is available at my Etsy shop.

Looks like you had a great day yesterday!
I really like the colours you have chosen for Sam's room- make sure you peel the tape off as slowly as you can so no dry paint flakes of with it!!!
Todays drawing is really sweet- I'd be happy to find him in one of my eggs!

Love it!
I feel your painting pain. We're painting a bedroom, kitchen and hall right now and I'm already sick of paint. It seems so easy until you start. The prep work is especially awful!
- April 6, 2009 at 1:32 PM
melissa- if you slopped A LOT of paint on the tape, you might try running an exacto or utility knife along the edge before you peel off the tape. ;-)

Next Generation Reporting Solution to Turn Employee Interactions into Business Insights
KITCHENER, Ontario--(BUSINESS WIRE)--IGLOO Software, the leading provider of social business software in the cloud, today announced that it has partnered with MicroStrategy® Incorporated, a leading worldwide provider of business intelligence (BI) software, to integrate reporting and analytics into IGLOOs social business suite. The solution will allow IGLOO customers to track user participation, influence, activity and engagement in a social intranet or extranet.
Gensquared provides a highly customized integration between the MicroStrategy platform, IGLOO and existing data living outside the IGLOO social business suite, allowing customers to perform powerful analysis right within their intranet or extranet
As social technologies are introduced to business, workflow and employee interactions become more and more visible. The resulting activity and dialogue produces unprecedented volumes of data around social behaviors and actions. The addition of an analytics module provides organizations with the ability to identify areas where social interactions are most effective and model those more broadly across the entire organization to improve the effectiveness of team collaboration.
Traditionally, engaging in a dialogue with employees and gathering deep insights from those interactions was achieved through an annual opinion survey, said Dan Latendre, CEO of IGLOO Software. IGLOOs social business suite provides a new type of visibility into the collaborative conversations and activities that occur within an organization. For many companies, uncovering this insight is a game-changer. With our new social business suite, we will enable our customers to more effectively manage and optimize their talent and their ongoing interactions with customers and partners.

Tire blowouts are not car accident hazards that should be taken lightly. In 2014, the NHTSA reported approximately 78,000 accidents caused by tire blowouts and 400 related deaths. Sadly, many of these accidents could have been avoided if the drivers had followed common safety precautions.
Preventable Causes of Tire Blowouts
A sharp object in the road or a pothole can damage even the best quality tires. Tires may also be defective. There are other causes of tire blowouts that can be prevented. It is a common practice to check both tires and tire pressure at every oil change. As well as, before or after a long car trip. Better to be safe then involved in car accidents.
When car tire lacks air, it can't 'bend' properly to handle the driving terrain. The tire overcompensates and flexes more than necessary. Underinflated tires increase likelihood of car crashes and accidents.
Driving for too long without the proper amount of air will cause your tire to burst from being under pressure. To prevent underinflation, check your tires at a local gas station or ask your auto care mechanic to check them. A pressure of less than 20 psi is a blowout risk.
Tires support the weight of your vehicle. If you overload your vehicle with items and/or people, there is too much pressure on the tires.
Truck drivers and SUV drivers need to understand the max load amount a vehicle is safely capable of carrying. Truck accidents and tire blowouts are a leading cause of injury. Truck drivers need to take responsibility and maintain a maximum load capacity and keep the tires and all equipment inspected.
Check your car manual for the exact "gross vehicular weight rating" for the total amount your vehicle can handle.
338,000 truck accidents happen per year. Nearly 4,000 of the accidents resulted in fatalities. State Route 99 is filled with truck and car crashes. Read More from Truck Accident Lawyer Blog.
Improper Maintenance
Tires need to be replaced at certain intervals or when they appear worn. Check your car's manual, tire manufacturers website for the exact mileage suggested for your car's tires.
Also check your tires regularly to be sure there is not a small puncture causing your tire to deflate or become weakened.
What to Do if You Experience a Tire Blowout
If your car has a blowout, follow this brief set of instructions:
- Maintain a tight grip of your steering wheel
- Let your car slow down without slamming the breaks.
- Pull over to the side of the road.
- If your car starts to drift in the wrong direction, accelerate very lightly to overcome the drift but still stay at a slow speed.
- Turn on your hazard lights.
- Put yourself in a safe position while you change the tire or call for help.
Car Accidents Caused by Tire Blowouts
Car and truck accidents caused by tire blowouts are not simple or easy legal matters. Insurance companies only compensate drivers with comprehensive insurance coverage. It is difficult in these types of accident to establish fault.
Though the driver may be responsible for the accident in some cases, a defective tire or a hazard in the road is not the fault of the driver.
My law firm understands what insurance companies, courts, and judges need to award damages to the injured parties.
Car accidents caused by tire blowouts are grounds for lawsuits whether you were the driver or the victim.

Kristina~ So sorry about your sweet chickens. I have so enjoyed watching them grow and seeing the pics of them wandering about. Mother nature has tough rules. I wonder if it may have been a coyote. We lost a dear sweet Siamese cat (in CT) to a coyote several years ago. Watch Geneveive and Loretta....and who is Pete????

Well said. Mother nature does indeed have some tough rules. I guess I don't have enough information to rule out coyotes entirely, but the thing is-- what kind of hungry wild animal would kill one chicken and injure another, and leave them both uneaten? At least that's my feeling-- and domesticated dogs were seen running the street earlier in the day, by other neighbors.
Pete is our big gray cat! :)

Domestic dogs seem likely to me. There are some nasty weasel-family-members who kill for fun, but they don't leave canine tracks.
Good news for you and Patsy: If she's eating that's an EXCELLENT sign. It sounds like you're making sure she has plenty of food, water, and warmth. Those are all good things. You might put some antibiotics in her water, in case she has a puncture wound you can't see under her feathers. They should be available OTC at your feed store...

I'm so sorry about your chickens. That's really sad. My cousin's chickens were all picked off, one-by-one, by a fox. I hope your other ladies survive the roaming dogs and anything else that mother nature throws their way. Your run of bad luck will turn around soon. Spring is right around the corner, so try to look on the bright side. I like it much better when you are happy!

Many trucking companies – especially small to medium-sized carriers – use freight factoring to help generate faster cash flow, especially as the payment terms for many freight brokers and shippers can be as long as 30 days or more.
But what are the hallmarks of "good" factoring firms? And do you – the trucking company – fully understand the financial "lingo" used by factoring companies, such as knowing the difference between "all-asset" liens and "accounts receivable" liens?
Those are just some of the things Sherry Leigh, marketing director for Apex Capital, believes carriers should fully grasp before getting into factoring contracts.
American Trucker got a chance to ask Leigh for further advice on factoring, and here are a few tips she shared:
Provide a thumbnail of what factoring is and how it can help a small to medium sized carrier generate cash flow.
A freight factoring company purchases account receivables for a fee. Factoring allows carriers to get paid faster. It is especially helpful for managing cash flow when a carrier is working with brokers or shippers with payment terms of 30 days or more.
Why is generating cash flow from factoring so important?
Factoring provides trucking companies with fast and reliable cash flow through the purchase of freight bills, so they can keep their business running. With numerous upfront or scheduled expenses such as fuel, tires, insurance, truck payments or payroll ─ sustaining positive cash flow is crucial to the success of any trucking company.
Talk about some of the markers that distinguish the 'reputable' factoring firms from the rest – what things should carriers look for?
Carriers should look for a factoring company that specializes in the trucking industry. It is important to work with a company that knows the industry, including the regulations and challenges that carriers face.
Make sure the company offers strong customer service. A carrier will work closely with their factoring company so it is important to find out if the they will assign a dedicated representative or team to the carrier ─ someone to build a relationship with that will have a thorough knowledge of their account.
Carriers should look for a factoring company that offers fast credit checks that tells them exactly how much (in dollars) a broker, shipper, or freight forwarder is approved for. They'll want detailed information, so they can make better informed decisions about who they haul for.
Most importantly, a carrier should ask their customers for referrals. Brokers and shippers work with many different factoring companies every day, so they know a lot about each of them.
Carriers should also ask for referrals from friends and colleagues, and research options online.
The most important thing a carrier should do when deciding which factoring company to work with is to read and understand the factoring contract. Know the difference between and "all-asset" lien and an "accounts receivable" lien [FYI: a "lien" is the right to keep possession of property belonging to another person until a debt owed by that person is discharged] and only work with a factoring company that files an accounts receivable lien.
A carrier should read the contract closely to find answers to the following questions:
- What type of lien is being filed?
- Is this a long-term contract?
- Does the factoring company collect on invoices? If so, are they aggressive or do they build relationships with your customers and treat them with respect?
- Is there a monthly minimum that must be factored? If so, what is it and what are the penalties for not meeting the minimum?
- Is there a termination fee? If so, what is the fee and how much notice does the factoring company require to terminate?
What are the "day-to-day" management requirements on the part of carriers is when factoring freight bills?
Carriers should utilize their factor's credit check services before hauling a load, paying close attention to an exact dollar amount they're approved for. Once they've hauled a load, carriers should send in their paperwork as quickly as possible to the factoring firm to get their funds.
A successful carrier is one that stays on top of getting paperwork from their drivers and makes sure it's complete before sending it to the factor. One way to do this is use smartphone applications. For example, Apex offers our clients a free "Mobile Factoring" smartphone app that drivers can use to take pictures of load paperwork and then send to their company owners, who can create and submit the invoices to Ape – all via a smartphone or tablet computer.
Carriers should also be proactive with their account and pay close attention to their aging, reserve balance, fuel bills and recent payments.
A good factoring company will offer clients a dedicated representative or team to answer questions as well as an online website to access their account on a 24/7 basis.
That website, by the way, should provide complete transparency to the carrier so they can see what's going on with their account at any time. It should also allow the carrier to create invoices, store documents, access important information and run reports to make sure their account is in good standing.
To play devil's advocate: in this highly digital age, factoring seems a relic of the past. Is that true or not? Is it actually a practice more critical to trucking companies today in the digital age?
The digital age has probably created more of a need for factoring. With today's technologies, payment for fuel, services and other expenses can be debited from an account in the blink of an eye.
However, on the flip side, some brokers and shippers still have 30-day or more payment terms. So the carrier is required to pay faster, but not necessarily get paid faster.
Some factoring companies – not all – have embraced the digital age to offer carriers more tools so they can get paid even faster and run their businesses more efficiently. Some factoring companies allow carriers to send proof of delivery paperwork digitally, which means carriers can send paperwork from the road or get paperwork from their drivers with much less hassle.
Some factoring companies also offer websites or mobile apps so carriers can access their account when it's convenient for them. Some factoring companies have even created other tools to help carriers be more efficient, such as: fuel finders, load boards, online invoicing, document storage, and document reporting. That makes it more convenient to operate a trucking company from any location, at any time.

Do you dream of having younger looking, healthier more rejuvenated skin?
At Trinity Dental we can enhance patient confidence by reducing the presence of fine lines and wrinkles on the face caused by the loss of soft tissue beneath the outer surface of the skin through providing facial cosmetic treatments.
This is achieved by using botulinum toxins, these work by blocking the nerve signals that cause the muscles to contract when we frown and relaxes the injected muscles of the face, this creates less movement helping to address the depth of wrinkles and folds resulting in a simple natural appearance.
It is our aim at the clinic to reduce signs of aging and form smoother, younger looking skin not for the face to appear frozen or stiff.
Anti-wrinkle injections may last three to four months once carried out, the treatment gradually wears off and may need to be maintained by repeating the treatment again however it is important to allow at least three months between treatments. The results are noticeable after two to three days, others may take longer and the duration of the treatment is usually 15 minutes to perform.

And this is where we are at. At the lowest level. To have to explain ourselves, for what? For what we do, we have to grovel? The only way to defend ourselves is to attack. If we don't do that we will lose every battle that we are engaged in. We will *never* dominate our environment the way we should unless we attack! And the city, city's just noise. I know the city. I know its rotten secrets, its filthy lies and secrets. They... invited us here and welcomed us. Only to throw us down. And kick us out. It's a grim joke.

Third-quarter gross domestic product increased at a 3.2 percent rate, up from the 2.9 percent initially reported, according to revised figures from the Commerce Department on Tuesday.
After years of stagnation, if 3 to 4 percent growth is the new norm, especially now that the growth-friendly policies of President-elect Donald Trump may be implemented, certain kinds of stocks are poised to beat the market, history shows.
Using hedge fund analytics tool Kensho, we found there were 1,580 days during 15 stretches of time since 1981 when GDP ran between 3 and 4 percent. During those periods, these were the top-performing sectors, on average:

I went to my local bookstore yesterday to pick up a copy and I was surprised to see my name in the SimCity section on page 200 under "Most Dedicated Player." From the book:
"Elliot Hanson has been constructing the Big Apple in SimCity for nearly four years, "one pixel at a time." He has even reconstructed tributes to major events, such as the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade and 9/11. In his downtime, Elliot is working on re-creating San Francisco, Chicago, Washington DC and Boston."
Thanks to my all readers and the writers of the Guinness Book of Records Gamer's Edition 2008. Be sure to pick up a copy, there's a lot of interesting facts about not just SimCity but also many different types of games.

Poppin' Red Accents in a Retro Inspired Elopement
Today's wedding is a completely pin-upified, retro inspired elopement shot by Josh & Jen Photography back in October. Tara and Tim are a local couple that met through mutual friends and spent their first date together dancing at Revolver Saloon. A year after they met, they were married!
A sharp looking groom in a fedora, tie and suspenders and a flouncy little white number for the bride teamed up with blazing red lippy, a birdcage veil and rad tattoos…match made in heaven!
This is my kind of couple. A flask for him, a beer for her!
There are some shots of the bride, Tara, getting ready with the help of the team from Makeup in the 702, making her updo and look transform into one that is retro-inspired. Isn't her skin amazing?
I love the totally beautiful shot of the rose and fiddlehead fern bouquet from Lush Floral with Tara behind it. That plus the combo Converse + heel shoe shot are awesome ideas for a bouquet photo – so often it's the bride's hands or the bouquet alone. Are you taking notes, readers??
Tara writes, about here tattoos: "I always am changing my look and I love my tattoos . My husband and I use our tattoos as a major form of bonding."
Tip: always bring your lipstick to touch up during a photo shoot…
…and your new husband to do it for you! Too cute.

Are you in point-to-point hell? It's how Aaron Kumove, managing director of Wellington-based Horizon Consulting, describes the Sisyphean task most organizations face of managing the connections between their various IT systems.
It's easy to draw a comparison between the legendary Greek king condemned to roll a stone uphill only to have it roll back down and IT staff constantly fixing connections to keep separate systems talking to each other.
Is there a magical solution to the problem? No, but EAI or electronic application integration software is a practical start, says Kumove, a former CIO at New Zealand Post and e-business consultant at KPMG.
In most organizations IT infrastructure has been built department by department -- inventory, HR, finance. Making them talk to each other can be very difficult.
"Typically most organizations have built point-to-point links between applications as they needed them. With a small number of systems this is fine, but as you add more systems it becomes fraught as the number of connections grows much faster than the number of systems. Each new connection becomes more complex and you need more resources to manage them, diagnose faults, and maintain them. In terms of a massively scalable solution in an interconnected economy, it's not the way to go."
Kumove says links between internal systems aren't even the real issue. It's connecting with each other that will be of vital importance as we move to an "electronically interconnected economy."
"The challenge for a lot of organizations is that their legacy infrastructure wasn't designed for this. They are struggling with how to retool themselves for an electronically interconnected economy. This is where EAI and integration technologies come in."
EAI introduces an alternative model to point-to-point connections. Systems are connected to a broker which mediates all "conversation". The number of connections is reduced to the number of systems. They're all consistent and all speak in the same way to a broker.
"We haven't got different protocols and it's a much more manageable solution with a reduction in complexity and in operational management costs.
"The biggest win is the strategic flexibility you get -- the ability to change according to business direction, accommodate new business partners and get things to market."
A broker or EAI solution usually presents immediate value but many organizations balk from a cost perspective because to date they've been proprietary and the sticker prices have been high. Kumove concedes that companies have struggled to make the investment worthwhile on a single project. He says the key to building a business case for EAI is to know the cost of integrating any application that you're developing and the cost of managing and maintaining it. Add these together and you should have a basis for comparing point-to-point development cost with an EAI off-the-shelf solution. In some cases you'll find EAI is cheaper on a single project and in some cases it isn't.
Where it's not justifiable on a single project you will get money back on the re-usability front, Kumove says. The real value is on the second or third project. Incremental costs drop dramatically.
"A good software developer, when contracted to build an application, should be able to indicate what percentage of the bill is on functionality and what percentage goes on integrating it into the environment."
IT analysts such as Gartner Group and Forrester suggest that up to 40 percent of the cost of developing a new application is spent on integration.
"So any thing you can do to cut into that is going to be a win," says Kumove. "On a one-off basis a point-to-point approach can be a quick way to get that done. If you're in a complex environment with dozens of systems it can be very expensive. There's more to connect to, a lot more to test and greater management overheads."
What about concerns that companies could be locked into a proprietary solution? Historically, EAI has been around for quite a long time in the form of messaging and then middleware, but the big difference is that its proprietary nature -- and high cost -- is being eaten away, he says. Web services seem to be the key to this by standardizing the functional stack, and as they do they are commoditizing messaging.
"Middleware vendors can see the writing on the wall and are migrating to business process management -- the ability to draw workflow diagrams which transparently show all the underlying calls through the messaging stack to make business processes happen.
"Web services will cut out what has been a very high-margin market they've had for years."
Not all the Web services standards have been nailed down, he accepts.
"Really it's about whether you should wait for more standards to settle or go now and accept that there are some proprietary elements. But vendors are building Web services interfaces to their proprietary systems. The beauty of the Web services model is that every vendor under the sun is supporting it."
New Zealand is still a fledging market, and by in large the EAI vendors such as Microsoft with Biz Talk, See Beyond and IBM have only started educating the market.
"They're complex products and can be a little bit hard to understand," says Kumove. "There's a learning curve."

You Are Enough
Has anyone ever offered you this advice?
"Find a way to do what you love, and you'll never work a day in your life..."
Has this advice ever actually made you feel positive about yourself, or the path you've chosen? Or has it just left you feeling like you should always be doing more than you are to make yourself 'happy', and that you're not living up to your full potential?
I recently heard a motivational speaker ask the audience to rate the dedication they give to their day job. The average response was 7 out of 10. According to the speaker, this meant that we were only contributing 70%, and therefore only operating at 70% of our potential.
"Could you only imagine what you could accomplish if you gave each day 100%?!"
So many questions instantly sprung to mind...
Why don't my interests and efforts outside of my occupation contribute to my overall potential?
Why should I feel like I'm a less successful person if I'm not madly in love with my day job?
Why should I feel inadequate if I'm happy and content in a job that contributes to others, financially supports me and my lifestyle, and no more than that?
Why should I feel like I'm not doing enough until I've managed to figure out how to 'do what I love' for a living?
I don't love what I do for a living. I don't hate it either, but I'm not throw-my-hands-in-the-air smitten with it, and I absolutely don't need to be.
My occupation satisfies me, and supports me. I enjoy doing it, and it provides me with the means to do things in life that I love - to travel, to write, to cook, to deliver content to you guys, and to spend precious time with my friends and family.
I'm happily married. I live in a wonderful home close to my office with a garden, a dog, and a car. I see my family and friends often, and I feel surrounded by love. I'm part of a local yoga club, and it's a wonderful, nourishing part of my day. We're able to travel when we feel the pull. We have had enough money and resources to support my husband during his recovery from critical illness, and throughout his gradual return to the workforce. We are blessed.
To assume that this is not enough, and that I should be striving to achieve more for my life - that I should be more ambitious than I am - is fundamentally false. If I were to accept this, I would be accepting a completely meaningless stressor into my life. The belief that I, also, am not enough. That my standards for my life are not high enough, and the choices I have made are not goal-oriented enough. That I could have more happiness, money and success - if only I were to try harder.
This is simply not where my priorities lie, and is nothing short of ambition shaming.
I am already well and truly living up to my full potential.
There are others - many of whom are taking care of the 'less desirable' jobs that keep society moving - who are also already living up to their full potential.
Life is always throwing curve balls. You can either face challenges with the stress of how you will continue to keep up the pace and strive for more in the face of such misfortune, or you can face them with the knowledge that there is a lesson to learn, that there's no rush to learn it, and you will be a richer person for the experience.
Taking gratitude and pride in the life we have, no matter where it has led us, will make us happier than any day job ever will. I know I have no reason to feel incomplete or unfulfilled, no matter how many motivational speakers who have never met me suggest otherwise.
And neither do you <3

I feel that if I say too much I will detract from the magic incarnate that is Jenny and Mike. When you come face to face with either of them you feel SEEN, HEARD, LOVED. Their dear friend Amanda read the following words during their vows. Not a single dry eye.
"Why have a wedding? Well, why send astronauts into outer space?
Sure, there are uncertainties. You can't predict what might happen on
the big day. There are asteroids to think about. It could be very
stressful. All those buttons. And all those people in a small area.
Will there be enough food? Enough bathrooms? It's enough to make a
person question the endeavor.
And yet here you are. You put on the special clothes, the finest
you've ever worn. You've gotten this far, and now your whole world is
watching, as you knew they would be. But something else is happening.
And this is the part you couldn't have predicted—you are watching your
whole world: your new marriage, and all the people you love who are
here to witness it. You're orbiting in a capsule just above, and so
for the first time you see it all at once. Your life, your love. See
how lush it is? How exquisite and unlikely, a gorgeous blue-green
sphere rotating peacefully in the void? How clouds cluster over whole
continents and then just blow away? You didn't come up here just for
the vantage point—there were other reasons—but now that you're here,
press your nose to the window. Savor the view. This is your life, with
one another, supported by all of us. Now that you see how precious it
is you know with certainty that even as it spins quietly on an axis
you can't control, you will preserve it. What is the thing I want to
say that I have to reach all the way out into outer space to
articulate? Cherish, love, treasure, appreciate, cleave and hold dear,
remember, remember, remember. When you're back on the ground, remember
this view."

Richmond Woman Sentenced to More Than 11 Years for Health Care Fraud and Filing False Tax Return
|U.S. Attorney's Office September 13, 2012
RICHMOND, VA—Veronica Sharon Cunningham, 49, of Richmond, Virginia, was sentenced today to 135 months in prison, followed by three years of supervised release, for fraudulently billing insurance companies and the Medicare and Medicaid programs for services not actually administered. She was ordered to pay $6,678,525 in restitution to Medicare, Medicaid, and various private insurance companies and $473,460 in restitution to the Internal Revenue Service for filing a false tax return.
Neil H. MacBride, United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia; John S. Adams, Acting Special Agent in Charge of the Federal Bureau of Investigation's Richmond Division; Rick Raven, Special Agent in Charge of the Washington Field Office of the Internal Revenue Service-Criminal Investigation; Nick DiGiulio, Special Agent in Charge, United States Department of Health and Human Services Office of the Inspector General, Office of Investigations; and Michael McGill, Special Agent in Charge, Social Security Administration-Office of Inspector General, made the announcement after sentencing by Senior United States District Judge Robert E. Payne.
Cunningham was found guilty on March 15, 2012, and convicted of 26 counts of health care fraud, eight counts of making false statements on patient health care records, and a single count of filing a false tax return. According to court documents and evidence presented at trial and sentencing, Cunningham owned and operated Community Neurological Services (CNS), a Richmond business that administered Intravenous Immune Globulin (IVIG) to patients suffering from immune deficiency disorders. Cunningham regularly and systematically billed insurance companies and the Medicare and Medicaid programs for IVIG not actually administered and made other false entries in patient records, resulting in a total loss of approximately $6.6 million. She also falsely under reported the gross income of CNS by over $1 million in her 2005 tax return, resulting in approximately $473,000.00 of unpaid taxes for that year.
This case was investigated by Federal Bureau of Investigation, Department of Health and Human Services-Office of Inspector General, Internal Revenue Service-Criminal Investigation Division, and Social Security Administration-Office of Inspector General. Assistant United States Attorney Michael C. Moore and Department of Justice Fraud Section Trial Attorney Maria Gonzalez Calvet prosecuted the case on behalf of the United States.

But the rest of my blog archive and myself are relocating over to a WordPress blog. I use that platform a lot for work and I've come to appreciate its functionality a bit more than here. Here was perfect back when it was the only option that I liked but I guess it's time for a big girl blog now!
I'm still working on the new blog's look and feel but any new posts are going to show up there starting today. We had a good run Blogger, catch you on the other side!

I think I need to just go ahead and drop the dream of ever becoming some super-amazing, consistent blogger. It's just not me. And if in 8 years of blogging I haven't found a way to master it, it's not going to ever be me. But really. I don't see how you daily bloggers, or even 3 times a week bloggers, do it?! Is someone cleaning your house for you? Watching the kids? Cooking dinner? Feel free to share your secrets, because I haven't figured it out yet.
What I can tell you, is that I am learning more about what it means to let go.
I'm letting go... of feeling like I need to be great at everything. I'm letting go... of feeling like I need to respond to everyone. I'm letting go... of feeling the need to know what is going on in everyone's lives. I'm letting go... of anything that distracts me from the best things in my life.
Jesus. My husband. My son.
I've had to make a few sacrifices recently. Dropping some things that I thought were great, realizing they were only good things distracting me from the best things.
Most of these are personal decisions, like how much time I spend online (and on my iPhone, which I excuse as not actually being "online" but it totally is) and being intentional about being more of a listener to my husband, eye contact and all.
But spiritually-speaking, I have been asking God to show me what He desires for me to be passionate about. Because, let's be honest... passion is not a value I am lacking. Being passionate about the things that He is passionate about? Well, that's a different story.
This world sure does "fire me up" (to use my husband's terminology), but I need to be careful that in my anger towards this world and all the evil in it - I do not become distracted in sharing the greatest news of all. The victory HAS been won! We will not suffer for too much longer.
want need to focus my attention on things that are true, honorable, just, pure, lovely, and excellent (phil 4:8) because God knows that my mind can dwell on the lies, dishonorable, wrong, immoral and evil.
And while the fight against evil is a good cause - the victory over it has already been won in Jesus Christ! And it's a good cause, not worth compromising for the best message of all - Jesus saves.

From the Stirling Observer 20 March 2018
A dog was hit and killed by a train in Dunblane at the weekend prompting fresh calls for repairs to be made to a fence at the railway line. Representatives from Dunblane Community Council contacted Network Rail to ask that they sort the structure which separates the Laighhills public park from the train tracks. The area is popular with dog walkers and concern is growing that the gaps appearing between the bottom of the fence and the ground are allowing pets access to the railway line. A seven-year-old Collie was killed after straying on to the train tracks during a walk with its owner in the park earlier this month. The dog's distressed owner, who asked not to be named, told the Stirling Observer the pet spotted some rabbits on the other side of the fence and managed to get through. She said: "It was getting dark and he just went down the side of the hill to chase the rabbits I think. The fence is very close to the train tracks. "We were running around looking for him but couldn't find him anywhere. We didn't know where he had gone and it was getting darker and darker. "The family became aware that something bad had happened when representatives from Network Rail arrived on the scene to say that a dog had been hit by a passing train. After finding the dog on the tracks he was taken home by his heartbroken family. His owner added: "There are a lot of people who take their dogs to the park which should be a safe area for pets ."I've spoken to some neighbours and they are also concerned about it. Dogs can scramble under some parts of the fence and larger breeds can jump over over other sections ."
Terence O'Byrne, chair of Dunblane Community Council, believes it's lucky more dogs have not been killed on the tracks. He said: "The community council has reported this issue with the fence to Network Rail. "We expect them to make sure that the bottom of the fence meets the ground with no gaps and expect this repair to be done as soon as possible. We will keep a close eye on their response. "This fence is in a public park and as such must be more than simply 'stock proof'. Dogs have been killed on the rail line for many long years. It is a matter of luck that more dogs have not been killed."
A Network Rail spokesperson said: "Our maintenance engineers will inspect the lineside fencing in the area and make any necessary repairs. "Our fencing is primarily designed to help people stay off of the railway by showing the boundary between our infrastructure and other land. We would advise dog owners to always keep pets on a leash when in close proximity to the railway as fencing may not always prevent smaller animals reaching the line."

The style you choose for your new kitchen cabinets depends entirely on you. Black custom cabinets are developing in reputation, as are black counters, islands, flooring and wall colors. For example, making imperfections can transform plain and ordinary cabinets to impressive furniture pieces. The cabinetry is a basic element in the kitchen that not only serves its critical storage purposes but is also the most visually dominant function that can make or break the all round style of the space. The warmth of brass is surging once again and looks equally as appealing next to warm grays and wood surfaces as it does against cooler white or black tones.
Knotty kitchen cabinet offers really earthy nation look by keeping all the modern day utilities in place with uncommon warmth in spot. Soon after you have your holes drilled now you can set up the hardware onto you cabinets. If you go for the all black cabinet look, choose on a gloss finish or a flat finish. Occasionally the black kitchen cabinets have glass fronts and are lit on the inside, which will truly brighten up a kitchen. Frequently the cabinets are pull-out like the drawers for added convenience, and if there is hardware, it is likely industrial in feel. Believe about how counter tops and back splashes can complement the black cabinets.
Glass inserts are also popular modifications for black cabinets, because they develop a sense of light flowing throughout your kitchen. Loads of glass in this kitchen make the black kitchen cabinetry an obvious, and beautiful, choice. This big kitchen is a fantastic instance of how ornate and dark colored wooden cabinets can bring luxury and pure elegance to the property. This clean, minimalist style provides the illusion that this is not even a kitchen — the cupboards become a piece of stylish furniture or art, alternatively. Utilized in conjunction with inexpensive stainless steel appliances, black kitchen cabinets represent a contemporary look of indifference to the norm" with a modern day, bold look. Perhaps the thought of brightly colored cabinets sends frightening chills up your spine, if so, then a simple white kitchen might be the greatest selection for you. A charming ruffled valance of red-and-yellow checked cotton softens the curve of the large kitchen window.
The modern day requirements these days recommend that it is very best to use a balance in between black and white overtones with a slick touch of metals or silver utilized as handles for instance. The soft golden sheen of this mainly wooden kitchen is set off nicely by the light of several pendulum lights with bell shades.
The island counter stands out from the rest of the kitchen as its cabinets/legs are in black, with fascinating black pendant lights lights hanging above. The counter location with the cooking variety goes even additional by combining white kitchen cabinets with black overhead cabinets and black granite countertop. Kitchen designs are complex , and each and every kitchen and family is unique, so it is no wonder that individuals want aid to attain that special look. Whether or not it really is hosting higher-class guests or carrying out homework, it seems the kitchen often ends up acting as the homes central station.
