Froome set for Tour de France win
Annecy-Semnoz, France (Sports Network) - Christopher Froome will become the second British rider to win the Tour de France after Bradley Wiggins' triumph last year.
All Froome had to do Saturday was stay safe on the last difficult mountain stage of the race. He did just that, notching a third-place finish.
Colombian Nairo Quintana won Stage 20 after completing the 125-kilometer trek from Annecy to Annecy-Semnoz in a time of 3 hours, 39 minutes and four seconds. Joaquim Rodriguez came in second.
Quintana, who is riding in his maiden Tour, has the white jersey for the best young rider and the polka-dot one for the mountain classification.
"It's a special day for Colombia, especially since it is the national holiday," Quintana said. "I think of course, about my family and friends who are there. The former Colombian riders have marked the history of cycling, but we are a new generation, who saw something important today."
Froome leads Quintana by more than five minutes heading into Sunday's traditional finish along the Champs Elysees in Paris. Rodriguez is third in the overall standings.
"This is an amazing feeling," Froome said. "Everybody keeps telling me that this is life changing but I don't want things to change. I've enjoyed the challenge this year."
Two-time Tour champion Alberto Contador, who had been second at the start of the day, struggled on the final climb and fell to fourth.
Froome has held the yellow jersey since winning Stage 8.
Stage 21 is a 133.5-kilometer ride from Versailles to the Champs-Elysees.

Primary Sources
Primary sources are those items or documents that provide first-hand evidence of an organization, person, event, or location. These may include correspondence, diaries, convention proceedings, photographs, oral histories, paintings, songs, financial statements, memoirs, legal documents, autobiographies, posters, banners, motion pictures, lectures, advertisements or other materials created by someone based on direct experience, even if produced long after the original event.
Secondary sources are those that analyze, evaluate, and interpret primary sources. They often provide a commentary on the original documents but cannot provide direct, first-hand, evidence.
Whether a work is a primary or secondary source depends on the question under investigation. When a person writes an analytical essay or creates an artistic work focusing on something they have not directly witnessed, they produce a secondary source on that subject, but the same work may be used as a primary source when studying the author or creator.
Tertiary sources, such as encyclopedias and almanacs, collect, analyze, or summarize primary and secondary works.

Until recently the New York Jets had been recently tight-lipped on the status of quarterback Mark Sanchez's shoulder injury, only describing him as day-to-day. But that mystery is finally starting to clear up thanks to NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport and Jay Glazer of Fox Sports.
Glazer reported that Sanchez dislocated his throwing shoulder on the big hit against the New York Giants during the Jets' third preseason game. Team doctors popped it back in the socket, but it is a shoulder subluxation. Sanchez will have to wait it out to make sure the shoulder stays in the sockets since the movement of the joint can damage the soft tissue around the bones.
Plus, Rapoport reported an MRI on Sanchez's right shoulder apparently shows that he suffered a partially torn labrum. This only adds Sanchez's difficult recovery, with injuries summing up to a dislocated shoulder and a partially torn labrum. Rapoprt added that Sanchez is scheduled to meet Dr. James Andrew sometime this week to get a second opinion on his injured shoulder.
However, Glazer also indicated Sunday that Sanchez was dealing with the partially torn labrum prior to the preseason game against the Giants. It is possible that Sanchez wouldn't necessarily require surgery to repair the tear in his labrum.
The injuries still took their toll on Sanchez's hope of starting the regular season opener against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Even though Sanchez was spotted on the field during pregame warm ups at Metlife Stadium on Sunday, he was throwing the passes left-handed. Rookie Geno Smith started at quarterback with former undrafted, first-year player Matt Simms serving as his backup.
Although initial reports indicated Sanchez could be out until Week 3, the preliminary updates on his shoulder injury suggest the fifth-year player could be in for a longer absence – with the possibility of being placed on the injured reserve, according to an ESPN report.
But Jets general manager John Idzik downplayed the possibility of Sanchez ending up on the season-ending injured-reserve, while he described the player's return timetable as "unpredictable" earlier this week. It seems the Jets remain without a timetable for Sanchez's return since, they didn't previously know the exact severity of his shoulder injury.
There's also been speculation the Jets could cut ties with Sanchez, who is owed $8.25 million in guaranteed salary for 2013. However, Jets owner Woody Johnson brushed aside such notions, saying that Sanchez "will be on the team."

Happy 50th Birthday, Piltdown Man!
The Piltdown Man skull is being taken out of storage this month and put on display at Britain's Natural History Museum, as part of the Pfizer Annual Science Forum. They're putting it on display in order to mark the 50th anniversary of the discovery of the fraud (I guess it's better to celebrate when they discovered the fraud, rather than when the fraud was first perpetrated). The Washington Post has a good, informative article about the history of Piltdown Man.

I was on the Outer Banks, NC, on a Sunday morning, sitting in Nags Head Church, on one of the hottest days of the year, maybe the century. The heat index was 112, and it was accompanied with humidity that slaps you in the face as soon as you walk outside. It was hot.
The worship was good, and things were moving along. Then the pastor stepped to the stage and prepared to deliver his sermon. His first words were, "Don't be alarmed, but I want to let you know that I just turned off the air conditioning in this room." And 300+ hearts collectively skipped a beat, and we all exchanged nervous glances and a few chuckles. But it did feel warmer already…. He wouldn't. Oh yes, he did. He said, "This morning we're all going to learn not to be discontent, and we'll all be hot together, but you'll remember this one, I guarantee."
The sermon was on contentment, and it really was a great message. Pastor Rick Lawrenson had some great points that I wanted to share, and then I have a couple stories of how I've been learning contentment in my own life. Here were some great points he made:
The scripture Pastor Lawrenson used in the sermon was Luke 12:13-21, and I want to share my favorite part, in verse 15:
Life does not consist in an abundance of possessions.
This is something Jesus taught to a crowd one day. My natural question to follow that, had I been there to ask it, would have been: Then what DOES life consist in? If it's not in possessions, ok fine. But life has to be found somewhere - where will I find it?
Jesus says at the end of that passage that we ought to be "rich towards God." What that means is a whole, huge blog post of its own, and you can read through many other posts on my blog from the past to get a better idea of that. But mainly, it means living for God instead of living for self. Don't look for the riches of life in material goods, but in a relationship with God and a life lived for Him. THAT is where you will find REAL life. A life that is joyful and content, no matter the circumstances.
When the sermon was over, he (mercifully) turned the air conditioning back on. He asked, "You want to know how hot it got in here?" We all nodded, and my guess was well in the upper 80s in my mind. "It was 77. Just 77." We were all stunned. It had certainly felt hotter than that. But it was only 7 degrees higher than normal and we had to consciously fight to remain calm and content - because of the way we live our normal lives. Thinking we can't bear to be hot - we are entitled to AC! But as he said, it's all relative. Some people have no idea what AC even is, and 77 would be a welcome treat to them. It was a very tangible lesson, well executed, and one that will be long remembered.
Some illustrations of learning contentment from my own life. And keep in mind, I am not trying to imply that I have mastered contentment. Just that I am learning more about it recently. A while back, someone ran into my wife's car and totaled it. We wanted to upgrade to a nice minivan. But we also didn't want to go in debt and take out a loan, so we only used the money we got from the insurance, which ended up being enough to get a 1998 Mercury Sable station wagon. Not exactly what we wanted, but it did fit our needs, and was in our price range, so we decided to be content with that.
I am an avid hunter, and got into bow hunting last year. For legitimate reasons, I need a new (different) bow this year. My eyes first lighted upon a brand new Mathews, with a price tag of about $900. I had a freelance photography job lined up that would bring in more than enough for that. Sweet. Then we found out we had to switch preschools for my son next year, from public to private. And that means from free to fee. Guess how much it was going to be for the year. The exact amount of my freelance check. Of course, I didn't bat an eye at using that for my son's education, but it did put the new bow out of reach. Then I thought, hey I can get a used one for $400 that still looks just as cool, but is more affordable. But we've had a lot of medical bills and car expenses this year and scraping the extra money together was proving difficult. Two weeks ago, I was hanging out with a friend, and he gave me an old bow that was sitting in his shed. It's older than my last one, and not fancy at all. BUT it fits me, it was in working order, and most importantly, it was FREE. So, I decided that this was my best offer and a gift from God, so I decided to be content with it. I had one major hiccup in my contentment though when I went to get it ready for shooting at the store. I walked in and passed all the new bows as I went back to talk to the archery technician. On my way back out to my car to get my bow, I was feeling very strongly that I WANTED a new bow. So I prayed, "God, I want one of those new bows, but I know I don't need one. Please help me be content with what you've given me." And I was able to walk back inside with my old, used bow and actually feel content with what I had. And contentment is such a great feeling.
As I said, I have in no way mastered contentment. But I do try to practice it, with using money wisely, but also with giving daily thanks for what I do have. This year I am keeping a thanks journal in which I write down at least one thing a day I am thankful to God for providing. At first it was a struggle to find one thing a day, but more recently I've been writing more like 4-5 things a day with ease. The more we look for things to be thankful for, the more we will see we already have to be thankful for. We need to strive to see it.
Life consists in thankfulness to God, a life lived in/for/with Him, and the joy that comes from being truly free from all that the world tells us we "need." Life consists in being rich in God.

Book Information
This thought-provoking book reveals the bewildering dilemmas confronting the boarding school child, and discovers a dark secret at the heart of the British psyche. The author, a psychotherapist and former boarder, draws on over a decade of working with ex-boarders to describe the process towards living beyond 'strategic survival', and offers pointers towards a philosophy of education which honours the needs and the intelligence of the natural child. Topics covered include: why do the British still send their children away to boarding school? What are the attitudes underpinning this practice which mystifies foreigners? What does it mean for the child to be sent away and immediately have to survive in an unfamiliar world, without love, family or privacy? Will it be 'the making of him', or a trauma from which the child may never fully recover? 318 pages.

ALBANY, N.Y. (June 13, 2011- RELEASE) – The New York State Department of Health (DOH) today announced that it has approved a plan for the Fairchild Manor Nursing Home in Lewiston to close and cease operations.
According to the approved plan, all of the nearly 80 residents will be relocated to other nursing home facilities as soon as possible. Every resident will have the option of remaining in a facility in Niagara County, if they choose to do so.
DOH has surveyed the area's nursing homes to determine vacant bed count, and will make every effort to place residents in an appropriate facility and level of care as close to the Fairchild Manor Nursing Home as possible.
"The Department of Health will be working to minimize the impact of this closure as much as possible while ensuring that every current resident has options to receive the appropriate care," said State Health Commissioner Nirav R. Shah, M.D., M.P.H.
DOH will work closely with the leadership from the nursing home to monitor activities as the closure plan commences. This work will include onsite daily visits and daily correspondence. The nursing home will continue operations until the last resident is safely relocated to the most appropriate placement site.

Fort Wayne (72-67) rounded out its regular season with a win against Great Lakes (67-72) on Monday at Parkview Field. Here's a look at the game through the statistics that stuck out.
Number of runs in the bottom of the third inning, which proved crucial in a game that got closer than expected. Fort Wayne had 13 at-bats in the inning and made contact on all but one at-bat: a strikeout by designated hitter Hunter Renfroe.
Number of fans through the gates at Parkview Field during its first five years housing the TinCaps. Monday, the franchise commemorated crossing the 2 million mark. This season, Fort Wayne brought in 403,596 fans, which is the second-most in franchise history and the second time in the past five years that the TinCaps have had more than 400,000 in paid attendance.
Fort Wayne's batting average with runners in scoring position Monday, which bodes well for the team as it prepares for the playoffs. The TinCaps got 14 hits, drew three walks and struck out seven times in the victory. They also forced Great Lakes into a season-high six errors by putting the ball in play often.
Number of pitchers used by the TinCaps on Monday, in an effort to tune up the staff for the coming playoff series, manager Jose Valentin said. Fort Wayne takes on Bowling Green in a best-of-three series that starts Wednesday in Bowling Green, Ky.

Here's a tricky one for you: I'm looking for a way for the user to turn on or off the auto advance feature for the entire course. So, in my head I'm thinking of a button at the beginning that says "turn off auto-play" and the user can check it if they'd rather not have the slides auto-advance. Possible?
Ideally, this same button would also turn off the narration, but I mustn't get greedy.

I like Mikes idea, I have made one adjustment and added the trigger to the slide master instead, reduces the number of triggers you need and ensures you do not forget to add it to your slide

I'd say there are 2 ways you can consider.
Both are far from ideal as they require to duplicate slides and will make maintenance a nightmare.
I haven't seen any smart way do do it with triggers in Storyline but maybe there is...
Posted Monday, December 03, 2012 at 12:48 PM
Jeff, I thought of those, too, but I agree it would be a nightmare, especially as this course will be often revised. I'm trying to avoid a duplicate course.

You could use variables and make the auto-advance and narration conditional, I think. It would take a bit of set-up, but might be better than duplicating the entire course.
Posted Monday, December 03, 2012 at 1:04 PM
How would I do that? I'm not super familiar with variables. At this point, I'll try anything before I duplicate the course.

Hi Katie,
I think this is a great idea, especially if you have a lot of content and want to give the user the choice to move on their own or be "guided" through the course.
I threw together a very quick example. I did the same thing Jeff mentioned with duplicating the slides. You really don't have to change much after duplicating, just the advancing options.
I attached the file if you want to see it. If you want to see the published version, you can see it here.
The second option that Jeff suggests may be your best option, if you're working with a very large course.
I'd love to see what you come up with, though! Keep us updated.
Posted Monday, December 03, 2012 at 1:09 PM
You should be able to set this up with a single True False variable and then a conditional trigger on each slide. See attached.

Well, there you go! I was about to put together a story to show what I meant, but everyone else beat me to it! Well done!

I've used Jeff's approach, and while cumbersome, it works well. The only downside (other than cloning the branch, is that if you change one side in the non-audio branch, you need up doing the same in the audio branch...
I'm certainly going to look at Mike's variable version, though; sound like it'd save a lot of time! If it works, I can use it on three projects I'm in the middle of first thing in the morning...
Thanks all; you learn something new every day...
Posted Tuesday, December 04, 2012 at 1:39 AM
Mike's screenr shows it all. I had been looking (but not good enough) as I was sure I had seen the 'at the end of the timeline' option but completely overlooked it when looking for a solution here. Good one Mike!

And Phil comes through once again!
I often forget to think about the slide Master option. That is a nice time saver. Thanks for altering it sir!
Posted Thursday, January 10, 2013 at 10:39 AM
Hi everyone! Thanks for the help, I think this will work, I really do! However, I'm trying Phil's idea of putting the triggers on the slide masters (which is a terrific idea), but I'm having trouble getting the triggers to "push" through to the slides. I can see the triggers on the masters, but they don't appear on the slides for those masters. I tried reapplying those masters (switching to a different master and switching back) and even closing and reopening storyline. I feel like I must be doing something wrong, I'm just not sure what.

The triggers don't replicate up to the base slide from the masters. They are kind of "under the hood". Even though you can't see them, triggers on the master do (should) affect the base slide

Hmmm, well the problem is I did test it and it wasn't working. I'll recheck all the variables and see if I missed something.
Posted Thursday, January 10, 2013 at 11:08 AM
I would check the trigger order as well, if you can post I am sure one of us can sort it

I feel like such an idiot. The slide properties were still set to slide advances automatically, and I guess that overrides any triggers. Those properties get me every time! I always forget them and tend to just focus on the triggers. Thanks, I think it'll work now.

Work details
The Stone Monkey by Jeffery Deaver (2002)
Compact | Rate recommendations
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Not quite as good as the others in the series, but not bad.
In a race against time, Lincoln and Amelia are recruited to track down a cargo ship carrying two dozen illigal Chinese immigrants, as well as the notorious human smuggler and killer � Youling the Ghost. Can they stop the Ghost before he murders again?
A fast paced read......a bit predictable.
Another great mystery in the so far excellent series. Serial killer, human smuggler, the Ghost - brings a cargo of a few dozen Chinese illegal immigrants to the shore of New York City. But just before reaching land, he's tracked by the Coast Guard, so he blows up the ship just before making his escape. About a dozen immigrants escape as well, so the Ghost must catch and kill them all before they blow his scheme and identity. As usual, with a lot of shrewd deduction on the barest shreds of evidence, with the help of a very likeable and resourceful Chinese detective Sonny Li, who was undercover as one of the immigrants, Lincoln and Amelia nab their man.
Review coming soon

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0743437802, Mass Market Paperback)When a vicious smuggler known as the Ghost scuttles a ship filled with undocumented Chinese immigrants less than a mile from New York harbor, only a handful of survivors--and the Ghost himself--manage to escape the burning vessel. Lincoln Rhyme, the quadriplegic NYPD forensic detective first introduced in 1997's The Bone Collector, and Amelia Sachs, his partner and lover, must stop the Ghost before he murders the two families who made it to shore. The families have gone to ground in the all but impenetrable world of Manhattan's Chinatown, a fact that makes the pair's two allies--Sonny Li, a Chinese cop, and Dr. John Sung-- invaluable partners.
The group's race against time showcases Jeffery Deaver's many talents, particularly intricate plotting, plenty of surprising twists, and breakneck pacing. This is a real standout from a writer whose previous thrillers have earned him a solid following among mystery fans. --Jane Adams

When a smuggler known as the Ghost scuttles a ship filled with undocumented Chinese immigrants right outside New York harbor, detective Lincoln Rhyme and his partner must stop him before he murders the two families who made it to shore.

Review: GarageBand '11 is worth diving into
iLife '11 has a lot of goodies, but none impressed me more than GarageBand's new capabilities (although I am pretty enthralled with some of the new iMovie features). GarageBand has taken another step toward being a "prosumer" music-recording solution, while still maintaining its roots as a simple,...

Is Nautical the New Woodland?
While nautical-themed decor might have once been the province of cheesy motels, it's showing up more and more in stylish contexts. Design*Sponge recently previewed the above pillows, part of the new collection from trendsetter Thomas Paul. Are sperm whales and anchors replacing birds, deer, and their woodland brethren as the graphic motif du jour? See some more examples after the jump.
Austin-based Esty seller sprucehome takes the theme in an interesting direction with their Admiral Pillow, covered in vintage polyester. We love the subtlety of the nautical diagrams. This burlap pillow from Patch NYC is also fun; the storybook quality of the image would make it a playful addition to a tailored sofa.
We're drawn to the bold blue of this cheeky "Titanic" shower curtain from Urban Outfitters. And a shower curtain's a great way to enjoy the motif-of-the-moment without making a major investment.
For the office, this adorable chalkboard from the Curiosity Shoppe might make a long to-do list seem a little less daunting.
Or try this vintage diver's helmet pen holder from Three Potato Four.
The beauty of this trend is that it's got something for everyone, from the animal lover to the science geek. We hope it will stick around even longer than antlers did.

Nautical already happened.
With exceptions.
Let's not ruin the ocean like we did the forests.
I love this a lot more than the whole owl, deer, moose, other cutesy woodland creatures thing that has been going on lately. The deep is just so much more interesting and mysterious. But, anything that gets overdone gets boring, as we all know. Lets have less 'themes' altogether.
I have never seen a cheesier nautical. At least go Ralph Lauren. Are people serious with play time preschool shower curtains and cheep wood cut outs of sea life? Lets get real. Anyone who cares about themselves and does not run a day care would never have these things.
Nautical will never go out of style, because the oceans have a magical effect.
However, the things that AT has presented are very weak. An old wood engraving, blown up, and printed on coarse fabric does not constitute design.
Let's have a nice mermaid, properly drawn, and painted on a screen or whatever.
that shower curtain is flippin' gross.
I like Thomas Paul. He's a good graphic designer.
Anyone who cares about themselves and does not run a day care would never have these things.
That is hilarious. Thanks, now I've lost my self-respect.
Unless you live near the ocean this stuff is best avoided. I live in the woods. Forest-inspired decor has always made sense, and I'm quite happy it's going "out" so I can have my look back. So I guess, more power to the nautical. Reminds me of a bad restaurant, though.
I've personally never been crazy about nautical or woodland decor, though I've seen it done well a few times.
I have some "nautical" items in my house: mason jars of shells I've found, hurricane lanterns (useful because Montreal is notoriously black-out prone), a ship's barometer, some photographs of the sea...
But the products above are kitsch. They're what you'd expect to see in a Red Lobster franchise.
Very tired. Put it to sleep.
Can we please have a serious discussion on how to prevent trends from tarnishing what we love?
These trend cycles make design seem like slash-and-burn farming. An idea is identified, milked for all it's worth, and once it's no longer fertile, it's useless. Then it's on to something else. Even the so-called classics of mid-century modern seem to be taking this turn.
When a concept becomes popular, it opens the doors for an overload of interpretations, many of them bad and with the only goal of capitalizing on the trend. For me, the associations start building until the concept I loved is inextricably connected to what I dislike and the whole idea dilutes into boredom. I don't think this is right, but I wonder how to prevent it.
actually, i think nautical is the new woodland, because it speaks to efficient use of space, fresh air, light and movement. it is "home" with mobility, rest with perpetual destination, and clear, clean colours. sound is part of it, too--what are you hearing? nautical was on my mind last fall, along with the inbound yellow and grey--must have been sensing a shift. yes, it has been "done." so what? galley kitchens are fascinating to me, and the sleek, warmly preserved elements of classical sailboats. Ralph Lauren got the sensibility from nautical, but nautical certainly pre-dates Ralph Lauren. I say, make it your own. See what you can borrow that is salutary in these difficult times.
Maybe the simplest rule is to avoid all theme rooms. That's where good trends go to die.
"Unless you live near the ocean this stuff is best avoided."
I better hide my stool made from fallen forest timber because ithe people who live in the woods may confiscate it from me!!
Where I live, in SW France there are whole shops dedicated to stuff like this. I always think it makes a place (no pun intended) a bit like a fish restaurant.
I like the pen-holder- very steampunk. (is steampunk *tiiiired* as well? oh well.)
Well, the chalkboard is kind of cute. The rest is awful.
As for the beach theme in general....
There is a big difference between displaying one oceanic thing you found at a flea market while vacationing, or actually on a beach -- and displaying collection of said items gathered from antique shops and online auctions, or at Pottery Barn. Context is all. So a coral-themed room is twee, but a few pieces of coral work nicely. And advertising the fact that you have a boat is just tacky (hey!). And displaying a huge ship model when you haven't ever sailed, much less owned a boat, is just desperate (anyone watch the t.v. series "In Therapy"?).
Themed rooms are for cheesy decor shows and dorms.
Relax, people... it might be a "trend", but I see nothing wrong with working some of this into warmer-weather decor.
And I didn't read anything in this post about "themed rooms" either...
I'd rather see some of this than yet another Etsy-esque bird or branch silhouette.
Jeeze... I see I made a goofy slip in my post! "In Treatment", not "In Therapy". Some sort of name dislexia, I guess.
I like the shower curtain.
I have a subtle nautical thing going on in my home which makes sense for me because I enjoy frequent ocean cruises - and I enjoy bringing some of that flavor of being aboard ship home with me...
...but it wouldn't make much sense if I had this theme in my home and preferred ski holidays or camping in the woods.

Getting big production from the second base position is often big for Fantasy Baseball owners, but aside from the top handful of guys, you really aren't guaranteed much from the position.
Cincinnati Reds' second baseman Brandon Phillips used to be one of those handful of productive guys, but as we head towards draft day for many, you have to wonder if that is still the case.
I would caution to bank on that answer being no.
The 106 RBI last season were nice, but also seems hard to repeat, especially with on-base machine Shin-Soo Choo now gone from the top of the lineup.
In addition, his RBI totals benefitted greatly from Joey Votto's insistence not swinging at pitches outside his zone, which may change this year, so you shouldn't pay for the 100 RBIs.
Overall his peripherals point to an 80-85 RBI guy, which isn't terrible at the 2B spot, but without him running anymore and his average dipping every year, you shouldn't consider Phillips a top five second base option any longer.
Phillips is a decent source of middle infield power, but otherwise is a liability in other categories.
The downward trends suggest things are about to get a lot worse for Phillips.
I have him barely holding on in my current Top 10 second basemen due to the overall weakness of the position, but I would recommend treading with caution when considering Phillips.
With that being said, let's take a look at my current second basemen rankings.

There is some weird science going on in the artwork of Gideon Kiefer
NPR's education team hand-picked more than 300 commencement speeches dating back to 1774 and compiled them into a database that's searchable by name, school, year and theme.
Here, to whet your appetite, is a selection of commencement quotes from writerly types. If you like what you read, there's plenty more where that came from.

Instructive animated graphic is instructive.
"The army stationed me down South when I was younger, and I couldn't even use the same bathroom as white people. But things have changed so much. The younger generation isn't nearly as racist. I've been sitting here for fifty years. So much has changed. This neighborhood used to be all black. A white person couldn't even walk down this street. All the races kept to themselves. Now you've got Indians talking to Pakistanis, blacks talking to whites, everybody is here and learning from each other's cultures. I've been sitting here for 50 years. Things are getting better."

Casa CorManca (a portmanteau of the owners' names) is a three-story, poured-in-place concrete structure, cubiform in shape, and clad in black slate on the exterior and wood on the interior.
In addition to an interlocking weave of vertical spaces, a lushly verdant, living wall creates a vertical garden on the second floor. Its more than 4,000 plants, the architects say, absorb nearly 600 lbs. of carbon dioxide per year.

The RDX-650D Underwater Housing & RDX Standard Port Set from Sea & Sea are specifically designed for use with Canon Digital Cameras such as the EOS 650D / 700D and EOS Rebel T4i / T5i.
The black RDX-650D Underwater Housing helps protect the compatible Digital SLR cameras during underwater expeditions. This housing can be easily mounted on these Digital SLR cameras via the included camera quick shoe accessory. This high-quality housing, made with polycarbonate and resin, is strong and durable and comes with a depth rating of up to 200' (60.0 m).
The RDX Standard Flat Port enables usage of most standard zoom lenses when combined with the RDX-650D housing. It features an O-ring and locks into the concave part of the port mount ring. This port is constructed from corrosion-resistant aluminum alloy.
Note! When the RDX-650D housing is shipped, it is sealed with a connector cap.
The YS converter/C is not compatible with this product.
Check for specks of dust, scratches, or deformities on O-ring and its contact surface before attaching the standard flat port.
Easy Mounting
- The Camera Quick Shoe enables easy mounting and removal of the camera. It effortlessly slides into the slot, up to the designated position. There is almost no need for complicated position and gear alignments, which makes it easy for beginners to mount the camera.
Two Fiber-Optic Cable Sockets
- By inserting the fiber-optic cable into the housing connector, an external strobe will be optically connected to the camera's built-in flash, enabling fully-featured strobe photography and creative lighting expression.
Compatible with VF180 1.2x Viewfinders
- By attaching the VF180 prism viewfinder with a magnification ratio of 1.2x to the housing, the magnification increases by 1.2x and the entire field of view can be seen at the same time. 1
Customer-Replaceable Strobe Connector
- A Sync Cord 2-pin Strobe Connector (sold separately) can be used with this underwater housing. Removing the accessory connector cap and installing the Sync Cord/N (sold separately) will enable usage of the 5-pin Sync Cord/N or the 5-pin Dual Sync Cord/N.
Optical Viewfinder 0.5x
- The housing features an optical viewfinder (0.5x) that makes it easy to see the whole field of view. An exchangeable viewfinder (sold separately) can be used as well. The viewfinder reduces vignetting in the image. It is recommended for wide-angle photography or in situations when it is essential to check the overall composition of the picture. Depending on the situation, the viewfinder can also be replaced with a standard pick-up viewfinder (sold separately). 2
Port Compatibility
- The housing set enables various ports including NX ports to be mounted when used with the RDX Port Base L (sold separately) or the RDX Port Base S (sold separately) in order to accommodate different kinds of lenses.
Easily Operated Shutter Lever
- This feature is useful for taking quick snapshots. The shutter lever can be operated in 2 ways, either by pushing from the top or by pulling from the front. It offers a smooth halfway press for adjusting the autofocus.
Large Buckle Structure (with Lock Function)
- This feature makes it easier to open and close the back cover than existing metal locking latches.
Using External Strobes
- By attaching an SA8, a SEA ARM 7 Compact, or a similar arm (all sold separately) set to the tripod socket at the bottom of the housing, up to 2 external strobes can be mounted.
- When using the Grip-Stay L II (sold separately), you can hold the camera firmly with both hands just as you can with conventional housings. 3

Nike Roshe Run Mid 2013 Spring/Summer Collection
Nike drops two new colorways of their Roshe Run in the relatively new mid-top cut. The first is the Armory Navy, which consists of a tonal composite upper that combines mesh with a smoother material for its quarter. The darker tones allow the sonic yellow eyelets and collar to pop providing a higher contrast result. The more vibrant of the two, the Black colorway draws attention with the contrast combination of its black upper and its bright pink outsole, collar and top eyelets. Both editions are available for $80 over at Bows and Arrows.

nates itemized deductions, which currently benefit some middle-level tax filers who would, under simplified taxation, claim the standard deduction. Although the amount of the standard deduction in the simplified structure rises through time with the price level, incomes tend to increase faster, so its projected tax benefit diminishes over time, which is another cause of the distributional difference between the current and simplified tax structures.
Among high-income taxpayers, the effects of the tax treatment of income from capital gains remain significant.36 The distribution of this income source is extremely skewed: in recent years the top 0.1 percent of taxpayers has received roughly half of all capital gains. Table 8-2 shows that under both the current and simplified tax structures—but especially for the latter—the top 5 percent generally fares much better than the top 20 percent. For the implementation of both tax structures, the capital gains rate is adjusted proportionately to the rates on ordinary income, but the resulting reduction in progressivity is greater with the simplified tax structure.37
Although the simplified tax structure moves the federal tax system somewhat away from its current progressivity, it would remain highly progressive. In 2050, for instance, the first quintile would pay 1.2-1.3 and 1.5-1.7 percent of combined taxes under the current and simplified structures, respectively, for the different scenarios; for the middle quintile, taxes would be 10.4-10.8 and 11.2-12.2 percent, respectively; and for the top 5 percent the share of all taxes would vary between 38.1 and 39.4 percent for the current tax structure and between 33.7 and 36.5 percent under the simplified tax structure.38 If these distributional results were judged to differ more than is desired from the current progressivity of the tax burden, the tax liabilities could be adjusted by using somewhat more elaborate procedures than the committee used to fine-tune the tax parameters, such as the exemptions, standard deductions, numbers of tax rate brackets and their tax rates.
The committee chose a simple tax structure that started by approximately replicating the current distribution of the tax burden. This choice does not reflect the committee's position on any particular distribution of the burden. Rather, our goal was to show ways to raise the revenues required by the spending scenarios. If policy makers and others prefer a somewhat more or less progressive system, it can be achieved with relatively minor changes in the parameters of the committee's version of a simplified system.
Whatever the tax structure or the population group, all the committee's scenarios except the low one reduce the after-tax incomes of taxpayers. To one degree or another, all taxpayer groups would shoulder the increased tax burden in the three scenarios that include substantial increases in federal spending.

Your website is marvelous! I'm so happy that you featured Maurice Messague. I don't know if you were present in any of my classes where I presented foot and hand baths as a way to administer herbs. I think he would make about a gallon of tea a week and his clients would come and buy it from his to use. Adding a little potassium sorbate will extend the life of these solutions.
Wonderful site and I'm proud to have served as one of your teachers. You are a born herbalist!
Michael Tierra
I have yet to read all of your posts but I can honestly say that with my voracious reading habits it won't take me long. I'm currently saving money with my small family so I can finish my college track in Clinical Herbalism, but for now I remain an aspiring herbalist. Your posts are easy to understand and very helpful in my need to learn outside of the classroom, but I have so many questions that pop into my head at random times. One of the most prevalent in my maelstrom of a mind is that I have noticed that most herbalists are typically specialized to a region(most of the time one they grew up around)and heavily use local herbs and remedies that are native to the area. I am from NM but going to study in CO. The plants I have used as a child like yucca, prickly pear, and juniper are less common there, will that affect the way I am taught? Is it common to travel out-of-region to study? Should I do the same and make a habit of using herbs from my childhood region? I haven't seen any Desert Highland/Grassland specialized herbalists yet, is this an odd region to utilize? Sorry I know I only said one question, but a lot of them are linked and can hopefully be answered in tandem. You are an awesome lady, I hope to hear from you if you have a moment.
Thanks, Sara
Seems like a good idea to ask the school in CO about their focus on materia medica. There are lots of herbalists who specialize in southwestern plants. John Slattery, Kiva Rose, Charles Kane, Michael Moore, Darcy Blue and many I am forgetting at the moment. Oh, Low-Dog too.
You might enjoy HerbMentor.com. I am the Educational Director there (so totally biased) It's a great place to connect with other herbalists and we have a very active forum for all those questions that pop up. :)

We started this series in 2008, targeting children and teenagers from 10 years of age. The spirit of the collection is to address big issues presented by the best experts in each field, always targeting a very young reader, whom they must get interested in the topic they write about. To achieve this goal, the choice of illustrators is also crucial, these are profusely illustrated books, where the artist must create appealing, smart images with a certain humour touch but nonetheless true to the subject matter. Series of 5 titles. Other titles in the series: - A Short History of Music - A Short History of The World - A Short History of The Bible - A Short History of Painting

Whenever a campaign wants to stop some new development it will use the phrase "tower block". This isn't what the developers would call them – they prefer "stunning developments" or "luxury apartments".
There is a national campaign afoot against new towers, specifically against the astonishing 230 mostly residential ones planned for the capital. Inevitably, the campaign has referred to tower blocks and "the mistakes of the 1960s" knowing this is emotive language [...]. — theguardian.com
To make housing affordable again, we need to catch up to decades-worth of unmet demand, over the next few years. In many cities, this means goals measured in the tens of thousands of new homes; in the fastest-growing cities, it means hundreds of thousands. Build enough housing and (economists and experience both tell us) prices should at least stabilise. Want social justice? Build a lot more housing. — theguardian.com
As for what she wants visitors to get out of the exhibit, Koumoundouros just hopes it will help them think about -- even question -- how much our economy is based on the housing market.
'Ownership and consumption are linked to how much our economy is consumed based," she argues. "[This view of housing] is so specifically American. And I love digging that out, and I think questioning it is part of maybe a shift.' — Marketplace.org
The phrase "a place to call home" rings loud and clear in the "Dream House Resource Center" exhibit by artist Olga Koumoundouros currently at the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles until August 18.

Visitors day at McNary Dam
Thanks to James Fletcher for sharing this story and pictures: We were heading in to the McNary Dam on September 18th and the Lock Master Vince Ruzicka (who is also a childhood friend of mine) let me know that it was visitor's day at the dam, an event hosted by the Corps. I looked out and saw a whole group of kids up on the platform, so we blew our horn in greeting. After we got to the top of the lock, I went out to greet all the kids with ice cream bars and popsicles for everyone. It was so fun to see them and we had a great time - one I'm sure the kids and their parents will always remember!

Remember where you left off in the dash with Missing e's Bookmarker feature!
If you are anything like me, you spend a lot of time going through your Tumblr dashboard.
What happens if you need to get something productive done? What if you can't get back on Tumblr for a while? How will you know where you stopped?
~ Save your place with Bookmarker ~
That's just one of the possible uses of the Missing e Bookmarker feature. Simply click the bookmark icon of where you stopped going back or the last post you read (if you know where to stop tomorrow) and an entry is added to your list of bookmarks in the sidebar!
Next time you are on Tumblr, just click the bookmark entry to continue from there, or watch for the helpful bookmark bar that is added above that post in the dash to know how far you got last time.
When you no longer need a bookmark, remove it by clicking the post's bookmark icon, or clicking on the x next to that bookmark in your sidebar list.
~ Bookmark Labels ~
By default, a new bookmark label will be a current timestamp. You can change the default bookmark label format in the Missing e settings (find out how).
You can also create or modify an existing bookmark with a custom label. Hold down the
Shift key when clicking on a bookmark icon, or hold down the
Shift key when clicking on an existing entry in the sidebar bookmark list to give it a custom name.
PROTIP: Ever wanted to jump to a specific date/time on your Tumblr dashboard?
It's actually quite possible, thanks to Missing e and Tumblr power user, TJ!
So, here's how it works:
TJ maintains a Tumblr account called soundofthebeep which posts the date and time (in the Eastern Time Zone) every 15 minutes. He also has set up soundofthebeeputc which posts the date and time in Coordinated Universal Time (for example, Eastern Standard Time is UTC - 5 hours, or UTC - 4 during daylight savings).
If you follow either of these accounts and go to the permalink page of any of its posts, you can click on the Missing e's goto dash button to jump directly to your dashboard at that date/time and continue scrolling back from there!
Here's an example:
- Make sure you are following soundofthebeep (or soundofthebeeputc if you prefer, though for this example, I will use soundofthebeep). You must be following the account for the goto dash button to be added.
- Go to the post page for the time of day you are interested in. For example, this one at 8:45 am on September 29.
- In the Tumblr control buttons at the top right, you'll notice a goto dash button. It looks like an arrow that points left and says "Dash" beside it. Click it.
- Your browser will take you directly to your dash as of that date and time. All the posts you see will be whatever people you follow posted from earlier than that time!

Missing e's Sidebar Tweaks Feature: A Tutorial
Missing e has included a feature to add a blog sidebar to all dashboard pages for 8 months now, but some people don't seem to be aware of it!
This is another of the Missing e features that is not enabled when you first install the browser extension, but that you can activate and configure. In the Missing e settings page (find out how to get there), under the Dashboard Features tab, in the Sidebar Tweaks section, you can configure the browser extension to add a blog sidebar to your dash!
Want your blog sidebar to load from one of your secondary blogs? Simple! Just click on the blog title at the top of the added tumblelog sidebar to choose from any of the blogs associated with your account.
If you activate this feature, you SHOULD uninstall scripts or extensions you may have installed to add the sidebar to your dash. In fact, some of the old ones may prevent Missing e from working correctly.

More in a new series on lesser-known Missing e features.
There are many features in Missing e that you either don't notice because they are seamlessly applied to your Tumblr experience or maybe because they are not activated by default and you have to turn them on in the settings.
I'll highlight three more these for you!
Slim Sidebar
If you've got a lot going on in your Tumblr sidebar (your tumblelog buttons, tracked tags, Missing e bookmarks), you might find it takes up a lot of room. To combat this, there's an option in the Sidebar Tweaks feature in the Missing e settings that will slim down your Tumblr sidebar. It'll take up less room, but still be readable.
Mass Deletion / Queue Shuffling
Both the Ask Tweaks and Dashboard Tweaks features have an option that allows mass deletion of posts or messages. These options are activated when you first install Missing e. The way they work is this: either click on "Select All" or individually select posts or messages in your Drafts, Queue or Inbox using the checkbox added at the top right of each one, then click "Delete Selected" to get rid of them in one fell swoop.
What isn't enabled by default is the "Shuffle Queue" button. To use it, simply turn on the option under Dashboard Tweaks in the Missing e settings. Then, when you are in your queue, just click "Shuffle Queue" to randomize the order of queued posts! The "Shuffle Queue" button will only randomize the posts that are currently loaded into your queue page, so if you want to shuffle a larger set of queued posts, just use Tumblr's endless scrolling dash to load more posts at the bottom before you shuffle!
Reblogging Asks
Now, it is an unfortunate limitation that we can't reblog published ask posts. However, Missing e can bring this possibility slightly closer to reality. Simply activating the option under Better Reblogs in the Missing e settings will allow you to reblog ask posts as text. It isn't perfect, showing reblogged asks like normal asks (with the speech bubble and all), but enabling you to reblog asks as text posts is a close second-best.
Want to learn about a couple of lesser-known Missing e features?
There are many features in Missing e that you either don't notice because they are seamlessly applied to your Tumblr experience or maybe because they are not activated by default and you have to turn them on in the settings.
I'll highlight four of these for you and maybe try make a habit of this kind of post!
Ask Box on Dashboard
Sometimes you want to send someone an Ask, but you're in the middle of scrolling back on the dashboard. Or you just don't want to open a new page or tab! Well, under the Ask Tweaks feature in the Missing e settings, you can activate an option to open ask boxes on the dashboard.
Once this option is activated, simply click on the i icon that shows up on their avatar when you hover your mouse over it. The box that comes up can even be moved around by dragging it with your mouse!
Resizable Editor
Most Tumblr users create new posts in the "rich text editor". You can see images and links as you put them in and you don't need to know any HTML. The only downside is that the rich text editor isn't resizable. It's fairly small, so long posts or posts with big images are hard to work on!
By default, Missing e's Posting Tweaks feature will add a resize handle to the rich text editor. To give yourself more room to create your post, just click and drag the resize handle (it looks like a triangle made up of two lines in the bottom right corner of the editor box).
Reblog Long Text Posts
Normally, if you try to reblog a long text post, Tumblr will cause your reblogged post to be a Link post pointing at the original, with the text cut off. You can easily choose to reblog the full text post by clicking the "as…" button at the top of the page, or get Missing e to do it automatically!
Although the option is not activated by default, you can have Missing e always let you reblog long text posts as text by turning it on under the Better Reblogs feature in the settings.
Reply Replies with Photos
Many Missing e users know that you can automatically create reply posts to respond to likes, replies and reblogs of your posts. However, did you know you can also create a "reply reply" with a photo post instead? Simply click the "as…" button at the top of the page to reply with a different kind of post!
Firefox "tip": Fixing reply replies that always come out as "null"
So far as I have seen, this is a bug that only very rarely causes problems for users of the Firefox version of Missing e.
Basically, you click on a notification or reply in order to create a new Reply Replies post where you can respond to it.
Only, when the new post page opens, all you get in the body text is:
I have not yet found out why this happens, but there is a solution!
Warning! This fix will cause you to lose all of your Missing e bookmarks. Back up your bookmarks before following these instructions.
1) In the Firefox menu, go Tools and click on Clear Recent History…
2) Activate the option "Cookies" (and nothing else), select Everything under "Time range to clear" and click Clear Now.
After this is done, you'll have to log in to Tumblr again.
Tutorial: Renaming 'Missing e' Bookmarks
You can set a custom name for a bookmark when you create it:
- Hold down the Shift key when you click on the bookmark icon of a post.
- A popup box will appear for you to write in the custom bookmark name.
You can also change the name of an existing bookmark:
- Hold down the Shift key when you click on a bookmark in the list in your dashboard sidebar.
- The link will change to an input where you can type in the custom name.
- Click the checkmark (or anywhere outside the textbox, really), or hit Enter to confirm the name change.
- If you decide not to change the name, just press the Esc key.
Also, you can specify the default format for new bookmark names in the Missing e settings page!
- Go to the settings page (find out how)
- You'll find it under the Dashboard Features tab, under Bookmarker
- You can use any combination of the special codes which will be replaced with the current time or the username of the poster of the bookmarked post
Just a reminder about the new sortable notes feature in Missing e 2.2.2.
You can change the sort order (ascending or descending) for notification type and user name by clicking on it. Also, you can drag the two sort buttons around to sort by user name first and then notification type. Just click and hold with the mouse on the buttons and drag them around!
Troubleshooting Missing e on Google Chrome
For some reason, extensions on the Chrome browser can stop working from time to time. Usually it is only temporary, and so far I can find no reason for it.
If you use Missing e on Chrome and you find, one day, that Missing e doesn't appear to be working, do not despair!
First, double-check that Missing e is, in fact, not running. If you open your Tumblr Dashboard and the e. icon doesn't show up beside the Tumblr logout button at the top right of the page, then follow these steps to disable and re-enable Missing e:
- First, do not uninstall and reinstall Missing e unless the following steps do not work. If you uninstall, you will lose all of your Missing e settings!
- In the Google Chrome menu (the wrench icon at the top right of the browser window), go to Tools and click on Extensions.
- In the list of browser extensions that comes up, find Missing e.
- Click the "Disable" button just underneath. The Missing e entry will turn from white to grey.
- In that very same entry in the list, click the "Enable" button (exactly where the "Disable" button was) and the Missing e entry will turn back to white.
- Reload your Tumblr pages and Missing e should begin working again.
If you continue to have trouble, the next option would be to uninstall and reinstall Missing e. If this still does not solve your problem, please let me know in the Missing e ask box!

Sometime back, one of Jose's colleague told him, "hey, I heard your wife has a food website, so she is a great "cooker" eh?" Jose was like…"cooker"? He replied " Yeah, she cooks well" to which that person replied "You are lucky to have a good cooker as your wife" ;) So now I've been tagged with the title "cooker" blogger ;)
If you are the cooker of your family ;), I'm sure that you will agree with me if I say….it take less time to cook than to decide "what to cook". I've heard from many friends that they don't mind cooking as long as they know what to cook. That decision making is the toughest part for many and consumes most of our precious time. Even I've the same confusion at times… egg recipes come to my rescue at these times. When I'm in doubt about what to cook or if I don't have many choices, I always go for an egg curry. It's easy to make and it goes with almost anything.
I've bookmarked this recipe long time ago, but finally made it the other day when I had no clue as to what to make.
Hope you too will enjoy this:
- Hard boiled eggs – 5
- Onion – 2 big, finely sliced
- Tomato – 2 (grind to a paste)
- Green chilly – 5, split lengthwise
- Cooked green peas – 1/2 cup
- Coriander powder – 2-3 tsp
Turmeric powder – 1/4 – 1/2 tsp
- Ginger & garlic – 1 tbsp, chopped
Whole pepper – 1 1/2 tsp
Cinnamon – a small stick
Cloves – 3
Cardamom – 3
- Medium thick coconut milk – 1 1/2 cups
Thick coconut milk – 1/2 cup
- Curry leaves
Coriander leaves
Grind/crush together number 7 ingredients. Heat oil in a pan and add finely sliced onions. When onion becomes golden brown colour, add the ground masala & curry leaves. Cook till the raw smell of masala goes. Add coriander & turmeric powder, cook for a few minutes. Add tomato paste & salt. When oil starts appearing, add the cooked green peas and stir well. Add the medium thick coconut milk. Let it boil. Add the egg pieces, and cook for 5 more minutes. Add thick coconut milk and cook for around 5 more minutes. Garnish with coriander leaves.Serve hot with roti/appam/chapathi/puttu etc;
Notes: I used coconut oil for this recipe. In the original recipe, potato is also used. If you want, you can use 1 medium size potato (cubed & boiled) and add it along with the green peas.

How To Create A Business Plan
Congratulations on venturing out to start your own business. Now it's important you keep the momentum going by drafting a business plan. Creating a business plan is one of the first things you do to set a path for your business. Quite honestly, most new business owners aren't motivated to create one, or don't know how to write a business plan.
The average first timer have a specific goal in mind; create a useful service to make money. There's nothing wrong with that, but for all intents and purposes, to accomplish your business service or financial goal, you need a solid plan. For beginner's sake, let's get started by outlining how to create a business plan. For those who want to dig deeper, I give more details in my other post on business plan etiquette to wow investors.
How to Create a Great Business Plan
Basic format of the business plan includes - Step by step sections with your business marketing strategy being the most significant aspect. If you're looking for basic business plan templates to get started, there are several good ones available for free download online. A quick search will yield relevant results, but we'll take you through the steps to create your own starting with the six sections.
1. Mission and vision
2. Business description
3. Marketing strategies
4. Analyze your Competition
5. Who will manage the business
6. Plans for seed money or capital investment
Mission and Vision - Give a precise description of the entire business and all activities since its inception. This section must be compelling enough to capture the readers attention within the first minute of reading it, otherwise chances are they won't bother reading the rest.
Business Description - Describe your target industry and related markets. You should describe the level of need and demand for your particular business in those markets, and any advantages or disadvantages to your business in those markets. Make sure to provide only factual information and realistic expectations of what your business might accomplish in all target markets of a particular industry.
Marketing Strategies - Define specifics of your market and demonstrate how you will promote your business product or service within that market. List specific methods you will use such as direct mail, search engine marketing, list building, and other effective marketing strategies.
Analyze your Competition - Identify the main competitors in your niche. Breakdown their major strengths and weaknesses, and business advantages or disadvantages.
Who will manage business operations - Describe who will manage different aspects of the business and how authority they will hold. Management breakdown is critical if outside investors are a consideration for the business.
Plans for seed money or capital investment - Show how the business as a whole will be funded or financed. Examples include bootstrapping (out of pocket funding), angel investment, financial firm startup capital (small business loan), or any other means of business funding.
Reasons Many New Business Owners Refuse a Business Plan
Many new business owners choose not to draft a business plan because they don't intend to attract outside investment capital. Some are also confident they have their business strategy mapped out mentally, but a business plan is not just to impress investors. It's useful as a roadmap for your startup business. It doesn't have to be perfect, it simply functions as a flexible blueprint for your startup. It illustrates your goals and strategies for getting from point A to point B to market and grow your startup. Your business plan is not written in stone, you can amend and revise it as many times as you want.
Specific Reasons for updating or revising it generally include:
- A necessary change in marketing tactics
- You might acquire new investors who suggest changes.
- Your business service might have evolved over time.
- Your target demographic might increase, decrease, or change completely.
- You have a change of heart about your business goals.
The first step towards any business is a perfect business plan that you can follow and move on step by step. And marketing is the most important thing in this plan as it is important to promote your business.
There's no pressure to create a business plan, but it's a good rule to have one. Even a descriptive paragraph about your business on a napkin could serve as a plan, that's how mega-social networking giant Twitter started. There's no perfect business plan, only an amendable one that states the facts and intentions of your business.
A solid business plan is a lot to brag about. You'll attract the best employees and top notch investors. Here's how to create that killer business plan every small business owner craves.

Sometimes you don't even need to follow the official business plan templates. I know some guys who have some pretty successful businesses in technology and finance and they do everything with just ideas and plans written down in personal books or lose papers they carry everywhere. I personally wouldn't do it that way because it seems easy to get lost but I guess they have it down pack where it works for them.
Monday, 23 May 2011
The best business plans are the ones you rarely have to change, because that generally means your business model and products and service must be pretty good. I've seen people who've revised their business plan at least a million times and still struggle to make a profit with their small business. If an idea is good and executed well to the appropriate niche, it's bound to make money.

Great business advice and breakdown of the business plan Priya. I had just launched my own local business two months ago in Connecticut. I'm running a custom evening and formal gown store and my biggest competitors are currently outselling me. I do pretty well but would definitely like to do better, possibly branch out online and ship items sold across country. I'm not complaining because my dresses are selling but I think I'll revise my old business plan because I the branching out option is high on my list and I might need some external investment money to do it.
Friday, 15 July 2011
I actually must say my best laid business plan isn't saved on paper but right in my head. Now most people can't do this but It's something that I just seem to be able to do. I don't think everyone needs a business plan, just those who intend to take their company to the next level of bringing on investors, especially if you run a corporation.
Sunday, 17 July 2011
I've used the software business in a box to create my business plan, but it was generally really long and I decided to shorten it a little. Your business plan doesn't have to be long and neverending, simply state the purpose of your business, how you'll market it, define your competition, and describe how you'll execute duties to generate revenue. SOme people make it way more complicated than it should be
Saturday, 23 July 2011
My business plan was ridiculously long and detailed and I cut it down to the core information listed here, showed it to an investor and he immediately loved it. I'm sure this was just the pudding on the cake though as he had already thought my business idea was pretty solid. I just needed the funds to start building and marketing it into a working service. So far so good.
Monday, 25 July 2011
I've had my business plan for a good three years now and have barely changed it. Been approached by more than one investor about funding my business but so far I've refused. I'm doing well, and when the time is right for me, Maybe I'll consider bringing on the investors. Besides I'd have to switch my LLC to a corporation first and that's definitely not in the business plan.
Thursday, 12 July 2012
Having your "business plan" in hour head or jotting down ideas in a note pad might work for some, but if you need to request funding you have to have a traditional business plan. Using the SBA preferred format is still a necessity. Simple one page plans or a few PowerPoint slides might be ok for an initial conversation with an Angel investor. But if you need to apply for a bank loan a formal written business plan is a must.

The month of March has most students and families across the country gearing up for a much needed break.
"Students in University and College have their reading weeks come up in February and then you've got March Break, so a lot of families book their vacation to sunny destinations throughout the month of March, says Lisa Vincent, Manager of Travelpath in Burlington, Ontario. Once March Break is over residents begin to look forward to summer weekends at the cottage.
Some families prefer to drive to their March Break destination. According to the Canadian Automobile Association (CAA) travellers are usually looking for great golf getaways and shopping trips. CAA says the favourite driving hot spots are:
What will the weather be like?
According to Chris Scott, a meteorologist at The Weather Network, there will be some snow Thursday night into Friday morning in the north-eastern U.S.
"Once you get south of New York, things will look better," he says.
Florida will be chilly around the end of the week, but it will get warmer by next week.
If you're heading to the beach, Puerto Rico, Varadero and Orlando may be windy this weekend -- but overall, temperatures are warming.
Closer to home, places like Thunder Bay and Kenora, Ontario may see some rain over the weekend. It will be a colder March Break this year than it was last year.
No matter where you go to spend the break however, the weather can be unpredictable at this time of year, especially in Canada.
As we transition into the spring season, temperatures are fluctuating as the cold and warm air battle it out. Several areas across the country have experienced a relatively mild and dry winter this year, but that doesn't mean the threat for storms is over.
That could make planning outdoor activities tricky.
"It's not until mid-April when most places can say they've cleared the threat of snow and mixed precipitation," says Scott.
There's no question however, that the light is at the end of the tunnel and spring is just around the corner across all of the country.
For those set to do some travelling, be sure to give yourself plenty of extra time before heading to the airport. At Toronto's Pearson International Airport in particular, over 100,000 people are expected to pass through the airport on Friday.
Here are some last minute tips before heading out:
You can also track your flight before heading to the airport.
Wondering when March Break falls across the country this year?

There are a few more announcements to make today before I wrap it up and relegate the blog to a simple "Breaking News" report until tomorrow because frankly, I'm not done with writing today. There has been quite a few entries today so please scroll down the page. If your looking for the Jim Kiick interview, it's right here, if your looking for the Jim Kiick audio, that's not up yet…still experiencing some site issues.
I would like to announce a new site that I will be writing for. Examiner.com. I will be the Miami Dolphins "Examiner" and you can read my blog there…here. This will be a 3 to 4 blog a week operation. It will not take away anything from here at all. The site offers me a slightly different approach to writing in more of a "newspaper" style. But fear not friends…this is my home!
Speaking of other web sites I am writing for, keep your eye out for the upcoming announcement about the new FSB fantasy football site. We should have new information on the launch date sometime in the next few weeks. Tentatively titled Fantasy CPR, one of the features will be to use our site to act as the trade liaison for your league. Have a trade dispute? Need a commissioner not tied to your league to resolve issues? We will keep you covered.
This Saturday, I urge all of you…and I do mean ALL OF YOU…to head over to the New York Times online edition, search for the "5th Down" and read my 100 word NY Jets Miami Dolphins preview. It's short and not too in depth, but it does talk a little about what this game means…at least as much as a 100 words can explain.
If all of that wasn't enough…head over to Ballhype and see where the Miami Dolphins are pre-ranked for the upcoming season. All 32 blogs for the FSB presented their rankings for each team. Those were combined to form an average that placed each team according to their average 1-32. The Miami Dolphins…are not ranked last.
