The Big Picture For The Week Of August 27, 2006
Forbes.com has an article up written by Will McClatchy from ETFzone.com (I wrote two or three articles for ETFzone in 2004) that explores the notion of whether or not to take defensive action in a portfolio.
Long time readers will know that I am a fan of occasionally taking defensive action with an eye toward trying to sidestep a portion of a big move down.
While I agree with the idea from 30,000 feet I'm not sure the method Will mentions is ideal. In the article he notes the long list issues confronting the market today and he is correct that the list is scary. However it is not new or unique.
It could be argued that the list of worries from the summer of 2002 was worse that what we have now. I'm not saying 2002 was absolutely scarier, but it might have been. Of course the summer of 2002 was very close to a big market bottom.
I think that a get defensive plan is a must but I think some sort of objective trigger that is market related as opposed to sentiment based is a better way to go. There are many instances in history where markets go up when sentiment stinks.
Various indicators reveal supply/demand problems for equities which I think are more reliable than India arguing with Pakistan.
I should note that Will's article does not advocate very extreme cash level but a lot of people managing their own portfolios like to raise a lot of cash when they think declines are coming.
One thing to consider in getting defensive is dividends. There are a lot of products with big dividends, less beta and a low correlation to the stock market. From the stand point that 100% cash is too extreme, a tilt toward this type of stock or fund makes a lot of sense. The WisdomTree ETFs could fit here but it may be too soon to know for sure.

Seems like getting defensive is the rage. Perhaps we all need to review Jimmy Carter's four years and his malaise/misery index/weak military to appreciate where we have come since 1980, and, unfortunately, where we will be headed back to after the next round of elections and act accordingly with our portfolio(s).

Yeah, the moves in PG, JNJ, PEP, and the like tell you that the "get defensive" thing is about 75% played out. So, what's next? Even CNBC has caught on to it.
Just for laughs, probably a huge move in all the stuff people panic dumped in May and June. (EM, metals, industrials). Or not. - 5:20 PM

The article referenced does not seem worthy of mention by Roger's higher standards. IMHO. Poorly written, loaded with advertisement, and where is the defnesivensess?..I quote:
"now is a good time for long-term buy-and-hold investors to exploit excessive bearishness and to seek relatively full exposure to U.S. equities." - 8:39 PM

Comments about Koh-I-Noor Rapidograph Universal Ink:
It is the ink or the pen. Can't be the pen since it works fine with Ultradraw black. Does not flow at all in the new Rapidograph pens. Tried different papers, different pen sizes. No success. Tried it in a Speedball nib--did not flow at all. I conclude this ink is defective or beyond its shelf life.I would return it for refund, but the shipping charges to me would probably exceed the cost of the ink. Does not conform to usual Blick quality.

All together: Flash, Bang, Wallop, Taoiseach, What a Picture!
Even inscrutable Michael Noonan, and the way he might slump in his seat, is looking confident
Taoiseach Enda Kenny joking with Herb Hribar, Chief Executive eircom Group; Joe Schmidt Irish head coach; and Simon Boucher, CEO IMI, at the IMI National Management Conference "Game Changers for Growth", at Sandyford , Co Dublin, yesterday. Photograph: Eric Luke.
This is the strangest budget run-in for a long time.
Less than a week to go until Michael Noonan delivers his statement to the Dáil and the usual clamour and hype that go along with the build-up to the annual budget statement has been oddly absent.
The entertaining sport of ministerial kite-flying has proved a major disappointment. It seems the Cabinet's powerful Economic Management Council has added air- traffic control to its list of specialities.
Meanwhile, the interest groups are only getting around to launching their pre- budget submissions, while the Opposition hasn't been half as vocal as usual.
They've had other fish to fry in recent weeks. The major distraction of the Seanad referendum has given the government an easy passage to Budget 2014.
But it isn't just the lack of a rising sense of panic that is unusual, it is also the demeanour of senior ministers, including the aforementioned members of the EMC.
All very bright and upbeat. Even inscrutable Michael Noonan, and the way he might slump in his seat, is looking confident.
It's very worrying. What's going on? Expectation management before the budget is supposed to involve dark hints of awful carnage to come. Then, when a cowering nation is expecting the worst, the Government inflicts a string of minor atrocities and claps itself on the back for showing such mercy.
For a man who suffered an electoral wallop on Saturday, the Taoiseach has been in great form all week. He had a great day yesterday. There was the slight inconvenience of Leaders Questions in the morning, and an EMC meeting in the afternoon, but he finished well with three lovely photos for his album.
That's a result in Enda's book.
Game Changers for Growth
The first one, we'll get back to. The second involved a visit to Sandyford, Co Dublin, to the movers and shakers at the annual conference of the Irish Management Institute. They have a great welcome for themselves out there.
The title of this year's beano is "Game Changers for Growth".
Morto for them.
The Taoiseach made a speech. No big deal. Then it was down to business. He had his picture taken with Joe Schmidt, coach of the Irish rugby team. They posed and then had a little kick-about. Enda got a bang in the face with the ball.
Back at Government Buildings, he met a very special guest. Bill Clinton paid a courtesy call. There's flash.
Enda loves American presidents. He was delighted with himself. Of course, they have a lot in common, these leaders of men. Clinton, the country boy from Little Rock, Arkansas. Kenny, the country boy from Islandeady, Mayo.

Proventus Avenicci is the Imperial steward to Jarl Balgruuf of Whiterun. He is also the father of Adrianne Avenicci, from whom he allegedly takes advice. He can be found in Dragonsreach and, when he is not with the Jarl, will usually be found sitting down at a table at the back part of the Great Porch, or eating in the large tables in the main part of Dragonsreach. He will sell you a house called Breezehome in the city for 5000 gold. He will also sell upgrades to the house, but will only do so if he is inside Dragonsreach. The dialogue option to purchase housing upgrades will not be available if he is on the Great Porch or in the Dragonsreach Jarl's Quarters.
If the Stormcloaks take over Whiterun, he will move to Solitude. There he can be found in the basement of the Blue Palace, but he will not sell further upgrades for Breezehome. Otherwise, the Breezehome key can be purchased from Brill for 5000 gold. He can be found in the Great Porch area of Dragonsreach.
Proventus wears a set of fine clothes along with a matching pair of boots. He wields an iron dagger and carries a belted tunic along with a selection of upper-class loot and gold.

Even as the green building trend grows, Florida real estate developer Richard Schackow admits he's taking a risk.
Schackow appears to be the first in the state and among the first in the Southeast to launch a development of hyper-efficient solar-powered "zero-energy homes." Schackow, who was planning to break ground in May on the first two of 27 homes in centrally located Gainesville, says he would want to live in a zero-energy home — and he thinks like-minded buyers will give his homes an edge in a declining real estate market.
"I am trying to beat the marketplace on something that has not yet been successfully accomplished, which is a little bit scary," he says. "But it's very exciting."
Zero-energy homes both conserve and generate energy, with the goal of returning as much electricity to the grid as they use. Few actually achieve that goal, but there are about 2,000 "near zero-energy" homes nationally. Most are in California, where the concept got an early lift from the state's brownouts. Those events left many residents suspicious of the power grid and open to alternatives. Zero-energy homes also got a boost from California's post-brownout rebates and credits for solar cells and other energy-saving features — features whose high cost might otherwise prevent their adoption.
Paving the way. Zero-energy homes at Premiere Gardens — a "solar subdivision" in Rancho Cordova, Calif. — combine photovoltaic panels to generate electricity with an energy-efficient enclosure to conserve energy.
"It makes the economics a little bit more attractive, especially if you have the high utility rates they have in California," says Tim Merrigan, senior program manager for the National Renewable Energy Laboratory.
California may lead, but the zero-energy concept got perhaps its most important early boost in Florida. There, in 1998, the Florida Solar Energy Center pioneered a near zero-energy model home in Lakeland. Data from trials with that home have served as a marketing tool not only for the center but also for the U.S. Department of Energy's Building America program and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory.
As energy prices rise, there's no question that demand for green homes and buildings is increasing. But for southeastern builders, whether to try "extreme green" zero-energy homes comes down to practicality and finances.
On the practicality side, the region's hot, humid climate would seem inimical to the concept. But Danny Parker, principal research scientist for buildings at the Florida Solar Energy Center, argues the contrary. He says the institute's experience with the Lakeland home and a second-generation home in New Smyrna Beach have given scientists a blueprint for building.
In Lakeland, scientists built two 2,425-square-foot homes, one a standard "control" home and the other the zero-energy home. The scientists then spent the next four years comparing the homes' performances. The difference was impressive. Between July 2001 and June 2002, the zero-energy home consumed only 2,150 kilowatt-hours of utility grid power, a whopping 90% less than the 21,240 kilowatt-hours consumed by the control home.
That happened because of the zero-energy home's combination of energy efficiency (a huge factor) and energy production features.
Parker explains that the average home uses at least 50 kilowatt-hours daily, while a large and expensive photovoltaic system can generates perhaps 17 kilowatt-hours. As a result, zero-energy homes rely on "conservation squared, generating once," as he puts it.
Some of the Lakeland home's efficiency upgrades are mainstays in mainstream green homes, such as double-
glazed windows and high SEER air conditioning units. But the zero-energy home also benefits from having all ducts built within the home's conditioned envelope, rather than in the attic where hot temperatures rob cooling power. The home has a highly reflective white tile roof that has proved adept at shunting sun away. And it has predominantly tile flooring — key in hot climates because of the ground temperature of 68° to 70°F, often 20° below ambient temperature.
"The average tile floor in a 2,000-square-foot house is providing half a ton of free cooling 24 hours per day," Parker notes.
High-efficiency appliances and lighting can further reduce electricity use. That said, there are some seemingly intractable energy sinks — clothes dryers, for example. And modern electronics don't help. For home entertainment, Parker says, "things are really going in the wrong direction for zero-energy." Computers, flat-screen televisions, and always-on technologies such as TIVOs together sap as much power as a refrigerator.
"To do this is hard, but it can be done," Parker says of near-zero-energy homes. "It requires a lot of attention to detail."
Utility interactive. The photovoltaic panels (right side of the roof) on a zero-energy home in Martin County, Fla., supply some power back to the utility company. Last year, Florida passed an expansive rebate program for photovoltaic cells, and other southeastern states are expected to follow suit — measures that will likely make the initial cost of providing energy production to homes a bit easier to swallow.
Cost is another big issue. The Florida Solar Energy Center spent about $23,000 on efficiency upgrades and $40,000 on solar cells for the Lakeland home, expenses that have dropped to about $15,000 and $30,000 today, Parker notes. Still, that's a lot to add to the home's purchase price, he admits. Last year, however, Florida passed an expansive rebate program for photovoltaic cells. Other southeastern states are passing similar measures.
Tim Merrigan says the hope is that the added cost will make sense over the long term.
"If you can make it so that your energy savings on a monthly basis on your utility bill are less than an increased mortgage payment, then you are cash-flow positive," he explains.
Whether zero-energy homes take off will likely depend on how much energy costs increase. If the trend grows, it could sharply reduce home electricity demand nationally. A 2006 report by the National Association of Home Builders Research Center estimated that, with continued research and development and tax credits for homeowners, proliferation of zero-energy homes could reduce energy consumption by single-family homes 17% by 2050. — Aaron Hoover

We'd all love a novel vacation break from our routines: maybe a long, scenic drive through some place perfect for day hikes and short bike rides, or a route with fascinating natural and human history timed to coincide with an Indian powwow, a gathering of birders, or a small-town parade. But who has the time TO make such plans – to research when and where to go?
The answer – once you're at a keyboard – lies at your fingertips. By inputting byways.org, you enter a world of more than 150 preplanned routes in 46 states. (No computer? Just call 800-429-9297 to request information.) From these resources, you can obtain the handy 124-page American Byways brochure: Travelers' Maps of National Scenic Byways and All-American Roads. It's sized to fit into a glovebox – and it's free.
A Distinctive Collection of American Roads
Since 1991, the goal of the National Scenic Byways Program (run by the U.S. Department of Transportation's Federal Highway Administration) has been to create "… a distinctive collection of American roads, their stories and treasured places." Many of the national byways are located within a single state, but dozens stretch across multiple states, and some stretch more than 1,000 miles.
To help you save time, each byway on the Web site begins with a brief overview of what there is to see and experience, followed by tabs for large-scale and sometimes detailed daily travel maps, photographs, visitor services, Web site links, best seasons for travel, and dates of coming events – everything you need to plan the trip. Plus, it's all advertisement free, because this site is paid for with your taxes.


text: The on-site personnel should be familiar with the application sections of the Cast Stone Institute Specifications and the Project Specification pertaining to delivery, storage, setting, patching, cleaning, pointing, caulking and sealing. In case of a conflict between the two specifications, the Project Specification may not include a particular issue, the Industry Standards should be followed. The following checklist has been developed for Cast Stone installations. Prior to delivery, there should be a set of the approved shop drawings and the approved color and texture sample on file. All test reports specified should be submitted as required. Upon delivery, all Cast Stone should be checked for chips, cracks, stains, or broken pieces. Any damage should be noted on the delivery slips and communicated to the manufacturer or the sales representative. Color and texture should be inspected in accordance to approved color sample or mock-up panel set up at the job site. In general, the color and texture of the Cast Stone delivered to the job site should be approximately equal to the approved sample when viewed in good typical daylight conditions at 10-foot distance. Storage of Cast Stone should be above the ground on non-staining planks or pallets. The storage site should be away from heavy construction traffic. Cast Stone stored for an extended period of time should be kept on pallets or non-staining planking and covered with non-staining tarpaulins. Allow for air circulation. Prior to setting, insure climatic conditions are within thermal limitations of mortar. Mortar retarders and accelerators should be used according to manufacturer's directions, but not with patching material. Set stone in full mortar joints and fill all dowel holes and anchor slots completely with mortar. Insure uniform joint widths within specifications tolerances. Ensure that all specified flashing and damp proofing is installed. Flashing pierced by stone anchors must be sealed either by metal thimble, grommet or approved sealant. Concrete should never be poured against unprotected Cast Stone. Where poured in place concrete is placed against Cast Stone sills, separate with a bond breaker prior to pouring concrete. Stone anchors must meet specified standards and be non-corrosive. Stone slots to receive anchors should be completely filled with mortar. Prior to setting, insure that the surfaces set in mortar are drenched with water. This will secure a good bond and help to prevent mortar shrinkage. Weep holes must be installed over windows, at relieving angles and at the bottom of walls. No mortar drippings shall be allowed in the wythe between back of stone and face of back-up structure. All head joints at coping and joints at column covers, soffits, and in general, all stone sections with projecting profiles, exposed top joints or rigid suspension connections to the supporting structure should be sealant joints. After setting, prime the ends of the stones, insert properly sized backup rod and gun in sealant. All trim items except parapet coping must align with control joints. Do no bridge coping over expansion joints. Cast Stone should be handled to minimize chipping. Care must be taken not to bump the stone into anything. Handle stones with the wide portion of the cross section in the vertical position to minimize breakage. After setting, columns, pilasters, entry jambs, window sills and all stone with projecting profiles should be protected during the remaining construction. During construction, cover open walls when rain in anticipated. Chipped Cast Stone must be patched by skilled mechanics. A trial patch must be approved before general patching is to commence. See patching. Planter coping, fountain coping, swimming pool, treads, risers, stone pieces at grade, and pavers should be treated with a silane or silixane water repellant after setting. This will minimize the likelihood of dirt and ground water entering the surface of the stone; a frequent cause of staining, efflorescence and enhancement of crazing. Check that the water repellent does not affect color or texture when dry. Load bearing units should be reinforced as necessary. They may not be designed to be handled in a different orientation than they will be installed in the structure. Lintels and large panels must be kept vertical. When cast stone bands are detailed with brick, it should be detailed so that movement between the two materials is not restricted. This can be achieved by placing a non-staining bond break material (flashing, building felt, polyethylene, etc.) into the bed joints above and below, as well as the band itself, be adequately anchored to the backup wythe. Ties should be spaced no more than 18" o.c. vertically, 16" when joint reinforcement is specified. Bed joints above and below the accent band may be raked back three-eighths to one-half inch and filled with backer rod or breaker tape and sealant.

The second-seeded Almagro defeated Andrey Kuznetsov of Russia 7-6 (5), 6-2. Debonis beat Albert Montanes of Spain 6-1, 6-4.
Almagro won this tournament two years ago and was runner-up last year to fellow Spaniard David Ferrer. Ferrer is seeded first and set to play Thursday night against David Nalbandian of Argentina.

Game 12: Orioles 1, White Sox 8
Another home run by Nolan Reimold (4th game in a row!) and one by JJ Hardy gave the O's their second win in the series against the White Sox yesterday. That guarantees them at least a split, and they'll get two chances to take the series.
The Good:
- Fantastic first inning by Tommy Hunter, as he struck out the side. For the game, he 7 whiffs (and a number of called strikes) on his breaking-balls. There were a number of cutters thrown as well that looked pretty good.
- Chris Davis AND Mark Reynolds made nice plays on defense. Really.
- Kevin Gregg was used in the correct role (team down by a lot), and managed not to give up a run despite allowing a hit and walking two.
- The rest of Hunter's innings, which totaled 4.2 IP, 9 H, 8 R, 4 BB, 5 K, 2 HR. He's now given up 6 home runs on the season, and his fastball is averaging just under 90 mph. Building-block! When Wada or Britton or whoever is ready to take a rotation spot, moving Hunter to the pen seems like it might be a good idea. They could use a long-man out there certainly.
- Jake Peavy pretty much completely shut down the O's offense, who had almost twice as many strike-outs (9) as base-runners (5 hits, 0 walks, 1 error).
That was, let's say, not quite as good as the previous two games. More "usual" Orioles baseball. At least with the Blue Jays' loss, the O's retain control of first place in the AL East.

Fantastic recipe. Cut down on the sugar and used apple juice to soak 4 cups of farfel, as suggested. Substituted dried cranberries for apricots and soaked raisins in rum overnight - gives it a fresh, complex taste.
@ mousepotato - We usually have kugels as a side dish, but I suppose if it were really sweet you can have it for dessert. Made this last year for Passover and everyone seemed to enjoy it. We will cut down on the sugar this year.
As suggested, I cut down on the sugar -- using 1/2 cup of brown sugar (per the recipe), and only 1/2 cup of the white sugar. I also used 7 matzohs, rather than 6. Everyone loved it, and several people wanted the recipe. It will be on my seder menu from now on!
This is delicious--and tastes very traditional. Two points, in addition to those above about reducing the sugar. 1) When soaking the matzoh in the water, just put the matzoh in a big bowl and add the water. But make sure to gently toss the matzoh periodically, or the bottom ones will disintegrate while the top ones are too dry. 2) You can use a 9x13 inch pan and it comes out perfect. Just the right height, I believe.
At two o-clock in the morning I was forced to remake another apple kugel for the 2nd Passover night. When I first read this recipe's ingredients, I thought that it would make a wonderful sweet kugel. Unfortunately after I finished the product I found the following. 1. Use matzoh farfel or break down the matzoh boards into small equally sized pieces. 2. Use only 5 eggs instead of the 8 eggs. You get a nice consistency when mixing the eggs with the matzoh and apple mixture. 3. Use 1/2 cup of sugar in the recipe. You have the sweetness of the brown sugar, the orange juice and the raisins. No need for 1 1/2 cup of sugar added to this mixture. 4. It is a matter of taste but I added some crushed almonds 5. I did not add 4 tablespoon of margerine on the top of the recipe. It browned beautifully without the fat on top of the kugel. Would I do this recipe again? The answer is NO!
Absolutely delicious, and a big seder hit! Following the advice of other reviewers, I cut the granulated sugar to 3/4 cup, and it seemed perfect. This dish was great for taking to a seder at a friend's house, because it tasted good either hot or at room temperature.
Like most of the reviews, I used half the sugar and split by 1/2 white, the other half light brown (packed). Everyone wants this recipe and said it was by far, the best kugel they'd ever had! Thanks! (The kids loved too.)
I made creme brûlée for the first seder and had the whites of 8 eggs left over. Beat these into stiff peaks. Mixed the fruits, OJ, matzoh sugar and other ingredients with two whole eggs, then folded in the whites. The mixture was too heavy to be a real soufflé, but it did bake up into a nice puffy kugel - much lighter than usual. It was a big hit at a pot luck breakfast, but I agree with other reviewers that it might be too sweet for dinner. for dinner.

The measure bans trucks from idling for over 5 minutes and busses for over 10, with some exceptions. Tickets will start at $100, and there is no maximum. The measure will apply to over 400,000 diesel vehicles that weigh over 5 tons. The restrictions hope to cut down on air pollution from the running engines.

Florida Gators updates: TE Jordan Reed still in question vs. Kentucky
by Jason LieserA few quick notes from Florida coach Will Muschamp's teleconference this morning:
– TE Jordan Reed is "moving around," but Muschamp did not know if he would be available for Saturday's game at Kentucky (7 p.m., ESPN). Muschamp originally said Reed had a hamstring problem, but declined today to say if there is a second injury.
– There is an implication that Florida is bending the rules on its punt blocks. Kentucky coach Joker Phillips said the Gators' linemen pull offensive linemen out of position to create gaps for speedsters like Chris Rainey to shoot through and block the punt. Muschamp dismissed that notion, pointing out there was no penalty called on the Gators' blocked punt vs. Tennessee last week.
"Nah, we just play hard," he said. "They didn't throw any flags on that play, did they? OK."
Tennessee coach Derek Dooley said he did not have a problem with Florida's tactics. He said if the Volunteers had done their job, "we wouldn't even be having this discussion."
– Muschamp believes Rainey should be mentioned among this year's Heisman Trophy candidates.

NSA sought to unmask users of Net-privacy tool Tor, says report
The National Security Agency has been trying to crack the online anonymity provided by Tor, a US-funded Internet tool designed to keep Net activity private and said to be widely used by dissidents in oppressive countries, as well as by terrorists. That's according to the latest secret intelligence documents drawn from the cache leaked by Edward Snowden and published by the UK's Guardian newspaper.
The NSA hasn't been able to crack Tor outright, but through various means it's been able to "de-anonymize a very small fraction of Tor users," says an internal NSA document … Read more

A Norman middle school student wants to honor her fallen father by sending care packages to the men and women who served with him.
"It's just something I wanted to do," says Jordan Eshbaugh.
Eshbaugh's father, Sgt. Dan Eshbaugh, was killed in Iraq in 2008. At the time of his death, the family was planning to send him and his fellow soldiers care packages.
Jordan says she's going through the effort to, "let them know people care about them."
When Jordan found out that her father's unit was now deploying to Afghanistan, she made a pledge to send every single member of the unit a care package.
Jordan asked his middle school to help.
Whittier Middle in Norman says they'll help with the collection of items once money for shipping the care packages is secured.
"I didn't even know she was doing this," said Jordan's mom, Rachel Eshbaugh, about her daughter's campaign.
Jordan plans to hold garage sales and other fundraiser to pay for the shipping costs.
"When she's determined, she's going to do it," Rachel Eshbaugh said.

Both teams seemed to play a little more conservatively in the second period. Neither team however, found the back of the net. Even the shots on net were low--Bruins had eight, while holding the Habs to just six.
There wasn't much excitement between those shots either.
Each team had a couple opportunities here and there, but for the most part, each team's play has gone back and forth without much purpose.
In fact, even looking at penalties, the Habs took one lone one in the second period--a goalie interference call at the 16:08 mark courtesy of Travis Moen.
As you would imagine, nothing came from that power play.The B's have been very disciplined for the most part as well. There were a couple instances where Shawn Thornton looked like he was going to drop the gloves with Lars Eller, but Eller didn't answer the call.
The Canadiens enter the third period with a 22-20 shot advantage over the Bruins .

You maybe can check the config file for the imap daemon, most proppably under /etc/xinetd.d/ and make sure it accepts connections from the local host.

I had the message ERROR : Connection dropped by imap-server, and a fixed it. The problem was that the usr's home in passwd was /dev/null . Strange is user already had home. Why it changed, i don't know.

I had an error saying /usr/local/courier-imap/libexec/authlib/authvchkpw : No such file or directory. authvchkpw was not were it was supposed to be. I copied it from the courier-imap source directory to that location and it worked fine.

I just uploaded my video, i'm not the best at editing videos to make them look great but I believe I have a good idea. If you like it I hope you will vote for me. My business is called ecoTent.
Hi all,
We were not successful the first time we applied and in all honesty on reflection some parts of our application were not concise enough. I almost feel as though in sections we believed due to the word limit we could not get our point across so wrote meaningless jargon. The second time round we really focused on getting across the key points/fundamentals so every word added value to our presentation in answering the what, why & how questions about our business. If anyone needs more advice drop me a message and I will help if I can! We're shortlisted for the prize this month so VOTE for Perform London if you can see how our business can benefit the UK public & performers!!
VOTE FOR PERFORM LONDON at www.shell-livewire.org/my-business-kit/ Lawrence Daniels Director Perform London firstname.lastname@example.com www.performlondon.co.uk |
Our video (Recall Notes) went down a slightly different approach of not having someone talking.
Instead, we thought it would be more unique to have some simple and concise text which people will understand and hopefully will make us stand out more! |
Hi guys,
I am the owner of www.thefloppydiskbag.com. I sell handmade bags made from floppy disks! I am trying to bring back the floppy disk in same shape of form back into every household!

Not been short listed for the Grand Ideas Awards? Keep going!!
I've been rejected before, but have been short listed this month and our video is online - artpistol - votes definitely welcome! The rejection certainly made me rethink some elements of my business model and I looked for new ways to make it more efficient and innovative and really stand out. That rejection has certainly led to progress - so you're probably a lot closer than you think, and with each submission closer than you were! Really try to focus on answering the questions and don't just reproduce any written material you have been using to date - make it fresh and relevant. Good luck! Ali Smith www.artpistol.co.uk |

I am now struggling to condense my answers to the 200 words quota... argh!!!
I remember so many months ago I was reluctant to share and give away my business model to strangers I have never met... which is probably why my apps in the previous months have been so short, sub-conciously I didn't want to share my project. More recently however, I have realised that people genuinely like to help. Here's my request, should you choose to accept (I hope the forum managers don't mind me making such a long post in this thread) If you're an expert and condensing paragraphs of text, please help me get this down to 200 words... You can email me on firstname.lastname@example.com I promise to take you out for a drink if you can help and I'm ever near your local watering hole. My business's main objective is to help the curry industry which was estimated to have contributed about £8.5bn to the economy in 2008, survive and compete in the current technology rich world. I am currently testing the market by using my home city, Coventry as a dummy. The business model is set up to be launched in phases and be self-sufficient. After spending a lot of time and effort failing to secure finance for an online order a table reservation website specifically for the curry industry, I decided with the help and advice of family and friends to raise the money myself. I gave away twenty percent equity to a friend I grew up with (as I realised I couldn't do this alone) and partnered with a web design company called Midlands Online Media. Together we now create low-cost, template-based websites for any ethnic catering business that serve any type of curry. The sale of these websites will be used to fund the launch and production of our website, ratethatcurry.com which will be launched as an online directory powered by independent customer reviews. The plan is to raise £30,000 to cover the cost of an agency to build the website and advertise it to our users. I am a big fan of guerrilla marketing and the use of ambient media. We sell our websites at fixed prices, £199 for takeaways and £299 for restaurants, any extra features like social media integration is charged adhoc. The final phase of our business model will only be activated after we have at least 100 curry houses from 20 of the largest cities in the UK on our online directory. Once we have achieved this, I plan to charge only £89/annum to each curry house to activate the online order and table reservation service. I will then charge a 7.5% commission to the curry house for every meal ordered via ratethatcurry.com and £1 per head for every table reserved. In the future, as a means of new market penetration I also own the domain ratethetakeaway.co.uk, this increases my reach into all types of food including the greasy fast variety which is growing exponentially. Thanks in advance Last edited by ratethatcurry; 10-08-2011 at 02:17 AM. Reason: font colour |

This year's Delta Panther wrestling team will be, by class numbers, a relatively young team. Combined, there are 27 wrestlers competing on the mat in practices each day.
Four of those 27 are returning seniors; Shane Anderson, Hunter Brasfield, Kyle Collins and Lino Ortiz.
From the junior class, there are five athletes working out; Hayes McCracken, Ty Cordova, Tim Rogers, Cordell Stroud and Chris Prosser.
This year's largest contributions come from the sophomore and freshman classes with nine athletes each.
The sophomore class listings include Jayden Chynoweth, Wyatt Church, Daryan Urquahart, David Brown, Henry Komives, Derek Horn, Daniel Brown, Alejandro Medina and Marcus Garcia.
The freshmen that are listed include Luke Anderson, Colton Cordova, Kavan Trujillo, Shaun Staats, Alex Duran, Kodie Komives, Kelby Brown, Stephen Davignon and Kory Mills.
Clayton Curtis returns as Delta's head coach and is in his sixth season at the helm and 10th overall in the program. With Curtis as assistants are Luiz Meza (seven years), Tyler Morfitt and Kyle Morfitt (three years each), Rudy Fantin (two years), Randy Fantin (three years) and Nathan Trujillo (first year).
A list of impact wrestlers for Delta this season featured five athletes. Shane Anderson topped the list at 132 with Brasfield second at 160. Stroud (170), Horn (145), and Brown (113) completes the list.
Delta has numerous athletes who have potential to advance to post-season action. When asked how his team would do in 2012-13, Curtis' reply was, "We have a young team that will battle this year. Our end-of-the-year goal is always to be in the top ten at state."
This year's Delta High School varsity roster in wrestling will include Chynoweth (106), Brown (113), McCracken (120), Ty Cordova (126), Anderson (132), Kodie Komives (138), Horn (145), Brasfield (160), Stroud (170), Collins (182), Medina (195), Ortiz (220) and Garcia (HWT).
Delta defeated Montrose last Thursday for the first time in many years and then competed in the Maverick Duals at CMU over the weekend where they were 2-3.

El Paso City Council to Vote Again on Resolution Calling for National Debate on Legalizing Narcotics
By Evan Woodward
Las Cruces, NM – Tomorrow the El Paso City Council will vote for the second time on a resolution which calls for an "open national debate on ending the prohibition of narcotics"--after the first attempt was vetoed by Mayor John Cook. As KRWG's Evan Woodward reports, the resolution was authored to show the city's solidarity with Ciudad Juarez, where more than 1600 murders occurred last year.

I didn't use bobbins, because there were so many and they would get horribly tangled. I just had about 1 yard (meter) of each colour and left it hanging like strings - this is much easier to comb out when they get tangled. It looks nicer to do the intarsia, and the over stiching rather than stranding, because it changes the texture on the flap. I did stranding on the edges like the pattern says.
Good luck - the results are well worth it.....I have made two bags now with the same kit......and my sister and I love them.

E-mail to a Friend
Rhode Island Rocks!
Why? There were three exciting developments for family caregivers in Rhode Island this month:
Read more below about these measures and others passed in Rhode Island promoting "aging in place," as well as the Palliative Care and Quality of Life Act.
Kathleen Kelly, Executive Director
Family Caregiver Alliance, National Center on Caregiving
San Francisco, CA
First, Rhode Island becomes the third state joining California and New Jersey to pass paid family leave in the country entitled, Temporary Caregiver Insurance. The law ensures that workers can take up to four weeks of leave at two-thirds of their regular wages to care for an sick family member or bond with a new child. It also sets a new standard of job protections by guaranteeing all workers job security if the need arises to take leave to care for family members. Funding is self-funded through employee contributions.
Next, The Family Caregiver Support Act of 2013 was signed into law and would require a caregiver assessment if the plan of care for a Medicaid recipient involves a family caregiver. A plan of care would be developed which would take into account the needs of the caregiver and the recipient.
And the third bill, the Parent Deinstitutionalization Subsidy Aid Program, expands who is eligible to provide care to include siblings and other appropriate relatives----a relief to aging parents who may have health or financial difficulties and are unable to continue as primary caregivers.
As noted in a blog recap of the Rhode Island legislation, also signed into law were measures promoting "aging in place," and the Palliative Care and Quality of Life Act. Beginning in 2015, every health care facility must establish a system for identifying patients or residents who would benefit from palliative care and provide information and assistance to access such care.
Arkansas: Arkansas Amends State Code to Require Mandatory PCA Training
The Governor of Arkansas recently signed Act 1410 which establishes a legal requirement for 40 hours of training for any person accepting money to provide care services in the home of an adult 50 years or older. Exemptions include specified immediate family members, defined types of licensed healthcare professionals, and persons who can document at least one year's experience working as Certified Nursing Assistant in a Nursing Home, Home Health Aide in home health or hospice. The act specifies 10 core competencies that must be included in the training (dementia care, infection control, fire and home safety, etc...), and a list of physical skills that must be demonstrated. These changes become effective April 1, 2014.
California: SF Supervisors Consider Flexible Work Schedule Ballot Measure
SF County Supervisor David Chiu wants San Francisco-based employees who care for sick, elderly or disabled family members to be able to request a flexible work arrangement which could include part-time work, telecommuting, a job-sharing agreement, modified start and end times or a change in work duties. He has proposed a ballot measure that would go before SF voters this fall if a majority of SF Supervisors approve the proposal. A report from the city's top economist states the measure has more positive economic effects than negative, and Chiu has amended the proposal to address Chamber of Commerce concerns.
Lynn Feinberg, senior strategic policy advisor at the AARP Public Policy Institute, recently testified before the Congressional Commission on Long-Term Care in Washington D.C. Her testimony focused on family caregivers who provide the majority of long term care assistance in the country and experience a physical, emotional, and financial toll resulting from their caregiving role. Citing studies of increased financial burden and mortality to caregivers, Ms. Feinberg advocates for increased respite options, flexible workplace schedules, and improved Social Security benefits for caregivers that would help ease some of the strain.
The Commission on Long-Term Care was formed after the CLASS Act was repealed and has an impossible schedule of 90 days to complete its study. Bruce Chernof, CEO of the SCAN Foundation has been appointed as the Chair of the Commission.
FRANCE: Delay Retirement, Delay Onset of Dementia
Researchers studied records of 429.000 retired persons in France who averaged 74 years of age, making this the largest study of its kind. Findings affirmed previous smaller studies done in a variety of countries, that those who delayed retirement by working to an older age were less likely to develop Alzheimer's or other types of dementia. Each year worked beyond the age of 60, seemed to lower the risk of dementia by 3.2 percent per year. Therefore, those who retired at 65 had a 15% reduced risk of developing dementia compared to those who retired at age 60. In addition to challenging your mind, eating a balanced diet, keeping physically fit and maintaining normal blood pressure and cholesterol levels are recommended.
Rising Demand for Long-Term Services and Supports for Elderly People, released by the CBO June 2013, claims the economic value of unpaid family caregiving exceeds the combined total of institutional AND HCBS care for persons over 65. These findings support a similar study by AARP in which the study group was all persons over 18 requiring caregiving. By attributing a cost of $21/hr to unpaid family care, the CBO determined the value of such care in 2011 would be $234 billion, more than the cost of institutional care ( $134 billion) and HCBS care ( $58 billion) combined. Public policy must reflect that family caregivers are essential to caring for a majority America's elderly and disabled whose numbers are expected to grow as baby boomers age.
The Social Security Administration issued 2012 data about the Supplemental Security Income program which helps low-income disabled and elderly meet basic needs. The program is funded by general tax revenues, not Social Security taxes. Findings include: 8.3 million people received SSI, the average monthly payment was $519, and payments totaled $52 billion in 2012. Most SSI recipients were between 18-64 years old (25% were over 65), for almost 60% SSI was their only source of income, 86% were disabled, 60% of recipients under 65 have a mental disorder, as well as other information.
US Department of Education Research Finds Link Between Employment and Improved Health for Disabled Residents of KansasDisabled participants at all levels of paid employment self-reported better health indicators and decreased Medicaid and Medicare expenditures than those who were unemployed. Improved health outcomes did not seem to be dependent on the type of work, or the amount of pay. Researchers noted that despite positive outcomes, participants were often discouraged from working by health professionals and service providers. In addition, recent Social Security Administration policy changes discourage beneficiaries from part-time work.
New Alzheimer Coordinated Care Project Reduces ER Visits 40%The Alzheimer's Association of Northern California presented preliminary findings of their 6 month coordinated care study at the Alzheimer's Association International Conference in Boston. The most significant findings were that ER visits decreased by 40%, and that caregiver efficacy showed strong improvement. Hospital stays decreased, but not as greatly as ER visits. The coordinated care study is a joint effort between the city and county of San Francisco, Kaiser Permanente SF, the University of California San Francisco, with some funding from the federal Administration on Aging. A full-time dementia support nurse, consultation and training for caregivers, and a 24-hour help line are important parts of the program that help prevent emergencies.

Application For 2013 Rosalinde Gilbert Innovations In Alzheimer's Disease Caregiving Legacy Awards Now AvailableThe call for applications for the annual Caregiving Legacy Awards is out for programs focusing on Policy/Advocacy; Creativity or Underserved Populations that work for and with adults with Alzheimer's and their family caregivers. Family Caregiver Alliance administers the award program, now in its sixth year. Each award comes with $20,000 for each program. The deadline to apply is August 16, 2013.
A few years ago, The Rosalinde and Arthur Gilbert Foundation published an expert panel discussion report, Strengthening Caregiving for Alzheimer's Disease, which outlined promising practices, research recommendations and key principles for caregiver support. As a result, The Rosalinde Gilbert Innovations in Alzheimer's Disease Caregiver Legacy Awards Program was initiated. The program promotes those principles and stimulates innovation in the field of Alzheimer's disease caregiving by recognizing and rewarding those efforts, which lead the way in addressing the needs of Alzheimer's caregivers. With support from The Foundation, Family Caregiver Alliance (FCA) has recognized the 17 recipients of the Rosalinde Gilbert Innovations in Alzheimer's Disease Caregiving Legacy Awards from 2008 to 2012 in a digital scrapbook recently published online. Please view it and share your thoughts on our Facebook page.

The hood of your Plymouth covers the engine bay from potentially dangerous substances that include rocks, extreme temperatures, and gunk, while giving you easy access to the engine block to do routine checkups. The tough Plymouth hood can get ruined as caused by oxidation or disintegrate in case of a slam. Damaged or worn hoods might open the engine block to danger, so you should shop for a replacement immediately.
Plymouth hoods are built from different materials like fiberglass, carbon fiber, and steel that offer their individual advantages. A steel hood is very durable, whereas the fiberglass material is less heavy compared to steel and can be readily enhanced by adding scoops for maximized flow of air, together other upgrades. Since carbon fiber weighs less in comparison to other options, some of its real benefits are better fuel efficiency and greater speed because of the recommended proportion of weight. If shopping for a new hood for Plymouth , check this component's coat, fitting, toughness, and design.
Fortunately, our store offers the most affordable prices for the most reliable Plymouth hood options supplied by makers that include Street Scene, JSP, and Ford Racing. We process requests without delay and ship items quickly. We provide a fast online ordering system and on-time delivery service.

Title: | Tanzanian woman teaching me to sew in the market |
Author(s): | Antalis, Erin |
Abstract: | This image was taken in Arusha, Tanzania during a research project focusing on reproductive health in Tanzania in the summer of 2008. The woman pictured is making tote bags using colorful local fabrics called kangas. Her business is a result of a loan from a microfinance project in the region. She is showing me the skills she learned by teaching me to make my own tote bag. I love this picture because the vivid colors convey the hustle and bustle of the women of the sokoni or marketplace. |

Here's mine, because realistically you have to include everyone in case something absolutely crazy happens. This is based on stated needs and our current roster.

13. Nick Young
14. Thaddeus Young
15. Derrick Byars
I'll chime in on #22 when I have some more time later on, but I've been reading workout comments on Bobcats.com and that helped me form this list along with other wire reports and online postings. But Vincent really like Thorton and Brewer when they were here, and while he liked some things about Noah, he was critical of his shot, saying that they wanted someone who could give them some sort of scoring ability outside of 5 feet. He also stated Jeff Green was definitely on their radar and didn't want to commit to seeing him until he declared officially.
The Original Charlotte Hornets - 1987-2002 - RIP

Man I don't care what happens after No. 8
With a dash of wishful thinking...and Chad Ford influence:
1. Blazers - GREG ODEN
2. Sonics - KEVIN DURANT
3. Hawks - AL HORFORD
4. Grizzlies - MIKE CONLEY (got to improve over Damon S.)
5. Celtics - COREY BREWER
6. Bucks - JEFF GREEN
7. Wolves - SPENCER HAWES
8. Bobcats - BRANDON WRIGHT
9. Bulls - JOAKIM NOAH
10. Kings - YI JIANLIAN
11. Hawks - JARVIS CRITTENTON
Hell, that's enough, for the rest see Chad Ford. That's got to be as good as anyone elses.
The wishful thinking is that the Wolves gulp and pass on Brandon Wright, taking either Hawes or Noah **crossing fingers**.
Bobcats Redemption?
Keetch, would you not take Yi?
I don't mind Brandan Wright if he's there and the others from my top list are gone, because he has a high ceiling, unlike Noah(IMO).
Wright is a home run or a bust. I hope he's like Rudy Gay or Charlie Villanueva and when he gets to the NBA he gets it together.
Bumpus: I don't think I'd take Yi unless I had a deal with Golden State going. He is the player I know least about (probably not unlike most NBA people) and so look for a more sure bet at 8.
Plus his exclusiveness to particular cities, while very understanderable, leaves me here in Charlotte sitting cold on him.
I don't see Wright as boom or bust at all. I think he'll do fine in the NBA. It will be a process though, not an instant sensation. Horford seems definitely more confident.
I don't think the Bobcats have even worked out Brandon Wright, so who knows; as a lot of folks are saying; there could be trades in the works....
Bobcats Redemption?
I think Yi's bust factor is higher than B Wrights to be honest which is why I would take a chance on Wright before I would on Yi.
