In a recent InvestmentNews research survey, which will be the basis of our upcoming "Business Model of the Future" report, we reached out to both advisers and investors with sets of questions aimed at discovering what tomorrow's clients expected from advisory firms — and where today's trends might be leading the industry.
Among the questions we asked our 1,000 investor respondents and 500 advisers were, "What services does your financial adviser provide to you most frequently?" and "What services do you think will be most valuable to you over the next five years?" To those who didn't have an adviser, we asked: "If you did seek out financial advice, what services do you believe would provide you with the most value?"
Here is a rundown of the services that advisory clients expect will add the most value to their experiences over the next five years.

CHINO HILLS, Calif. (AP) — Red Bucket Rescue needs money. So they are holding a fundraiser in Chino Hills Wednesday featuring kisses from Joey, a 5-month-old donkey that is going to need a lot of money for medical bills.
Rescue founder Susan Peirce says Joey and his mother Lizzie were among five donkeys rescued from the Bureau of Land Management.
Trampled by his herd at 2-days-old, Joey suffered traumatic injury to his eye and it might have to be removed. He is also the 150th horse or donkey rescued by the group.
Peirce says Valentine's Day is Thursday, so a kissing booth made good sense.
The kisses are free but donations are welcome.

Don't expect a mower to do the same work that a tractor will.
Having been brought up near the Severn estuary, this reminded me of many happy birdwatching days. The first gannet I ever saw was at Arlingham, not far from Slimbridge.
For many years people with a bit of sense in conservation organisations have recommended use of home-grown stock for planting schemes, but this has probably been largely ignored. The big contractors on civic schemes, motorway planting, etc will have followed the money and bought stock where it was readily available in large quantities and cheap. The price is now being paid.
I could readily supply 400 ash saplings from the woodland in one of my gardens!
Am I right in thinking that none of these trees belong to you? If so, is there any prospect that some of them could be cut down?
figrat - I was trying not to advertise! OK, Green Thumb.
jatnik - I think you misunderstood me; I'm a professional gardener, and I have no choice but to give the customer what he wants if he insists. As I said he's got every right to stripey lawns and gravel if he owns the house and pays his dues...and my bills.
It's difficult not to start adopting a slight sense of ownership of other people's gardens, but in many cases you have to be content with achieving things by stealth. The customer is, sadly, always right. He's bought the house and he's paying the council tax and your invoices.
Happily, my gardens are all pretty wildlife friendly, although one has gone in for Green Digit and lost hundreds of bees as a result.
It's just a question of persistently pulling out the ivy as it appears and it will take two years to get rid.
Yes, do ask the Council. They should have kept a record of the removal of toxic material.
Bea, if you search on the RHS website you will find a comprehensive guide to lawn turfing. Good luck and don't skimp on the quality of the turf - there is some rubbish around.
It is crowded! But if you adjust your brain before you go in, you can ignore people. Also, we made the mistake of going as soon as it opened in the morning, but that's when all the coaches arrive, so it might be better to go after lunch - it seemed less crowded, but perhaps we were used to it by then. And it's no worse than Hidcote.
So go and enjoy it, and don't forget to explore the village.

Dozens of U.S. Navy World War II veterans help unfurl and stretch a large U.S. flag as "Anchor's Aweigh" is played over loud speakers Saturday at Farragut State Park. Most of the veterans who attended the annual reunion completed basic training at the Farragut Naval Training Station between 1942 and 1946 before fighting in the Pacific theater 70 years ago. Although formal reunions were curtailed several years ago, veterans and their supporters organize informal gatherings, including a coffee hour and barbecue after the flag ceremony. Story here.

Question: Has any member of your family served in the U.S. Navy?
"This was very heavy handed," said former Kootenai Environmental Alliance executive director Barry Rosenberg as he toured a logged area of Farragut State Park on Tuesday. (Kathy Plonka SR photo)
At Farragut State Park, Jokulhlaup Viewpoint offers visitors sweeping views of Lake Pend Oreille. Logging last winter "opened up one of the few vistas that the public has at the park," said Randall Butt, the park's manager. Without an obstructing curtain of trees, visitors can look out over a panorama that includes Pack Saddle Mountain on the lake's eastern shoreline and Bernard Peak, a favorite haunt of mountain goats. But where others see mountains and water, the Kootenai Environmental Alliance sees a three-acre clearcut. To improve the viewpoint, the hillside below was stripped of trees. Members of the Coeur d'Alene-based environmental group were dismayed to find stumps of 100-year-old Douglas firs in the logged area/Becky Kramer, SR. More here.
Question: Would you rather have the sweeping view of Lake Pend Oreille and the clear-cut — the obstructing curtain of trees that include 100-year-old Douglas firs?
Marianne Love gives us a taste of snow here:
And spokelooneh offered a link to her fascinating article about Farragut: http://www.mariannelove.com/Farragut….
Keithincda says on Saturday PBS aired a documentary about Farragut "Americas Landlocked Navy." You can purchase the video online at the KSPS televesion website or at Amazon. Not too early to start thinking about Christmas presents.
Just saying.

You may be the CIO or IT manager for a fairly complex IT environment. You also may already have begun moving your data center to a private cloud paradigm that offers greater efficiency and agility to meet your company's needs.
While there are still a few challenges to work through, most days seem to run fairly smoothly. In the course of a week, however, the landscape changes. You are suddenly drawn into discussions with company management about a potential acquisition or merger in the works.
How do you advise your company on the impact of bringing both IT worlds together, let alone how best to navigate, post-M&A, the smooth integration of the other company's IT assets with yours?
As it turns out, a hybrid cloud paradigm - used in what I call 'swing-shift' mode - may be one way to mitigate risk when integrating IT worlds after a corporate merger or acquisition.
Expanding Use Cases for Hybrid Cloud
We generally define hybrid cloud as the informational and managerial relationship between an organization's internal, private cloud and someone else's cloud (whether that other cloud is public or a hosted, private cloud). The idea of using the fast-growing hybrid cloud paradigm as a swing shift of sorts for post-M&A IT asset integration is the second of two use cases we'll describe here:
1. Cloud Bursting
This is the first and most commonly described use case for hybrid cloud computing. Often referred to as 'cloud bursting,' this allows a company to temporarily expand the processing capability of its own internal, private cloud environment by tapping into the added processing power of an external cloud provider. This scenario is used to better meet short-term, burstable processing needs that are often associated with seasonal fluctuations of retailers or business service providers. Examples that come to mind include Black Friday, Election Day or other significant, periodic inflection points.
Using hybrid cloud to temporarily boost in-house compute cycles can give companies an extra weapon in the capacity-planning arsenal and a better way to balance capital expenditures with on-going operating expenses. Capital expenditures can be budgeted to meet a company's general, steady-state processing capacity while operating expenses are contracted based on usage in order to meet a yearly services rush. The business advantage to buying-for-the-surge is that the additional cost can be associated with the specific event. Subsequent cost/benefit analysis is then focused on that specific event.
2. Swing-Shift IT Integration (Post-M&A)
Admittedly, using a hybrid cloud architecture to aid integration of IT assets for a corporate merger or acquisition project is not as common a use case as cloud bursting. But, it can have much broader appeal to more companies. I call it hybrid cloud in 'swing-shift' mode because this use case relies on an external cloud provider acting as a safe 'swing' architecture (or temporary home) for the merged or acquired company's IT assets and applications.
This type of hybrid cloud usage can help address many of the challenges that occur when acquiring companies with technology assets. Such challenges include:
- Isolating and evaluating possibly outdated technology which the acquired company may not have kept up to date in anticipation of being sold.
- Separating architectures -- especially where there are vast differences in security, compliance or other IT governance issues between the acquirer and the acquired.
In each of these cases, the acquirer may be unwilling to bring such IT assets onto the network or into the data center too quickly or without ample triage around the migration approach. In contrast, a hybrid cloud environment can provide a temporary holding place for users' desktops, mailboxes, or even certain business applications. For the acquiring company it can offer a useful virtual, 'cleansing' environment to use as a base prior to ingesting into the permanent environment.
Swing Shift Hybrid Cloud in Action
In recent years, a few companies have made IT news for their novel use of hybrid cloud to aid in their own M&A integrations.
In 2011, Gartner published its own case study surrounding international Milwaukee-based manufacturer Brady Corporation that had acquired 50 companies in relative short order. The case study, "Brady Corporation: Hybrid cloud sourcing accelerates post-merger integration," [ID Number: G00211838] described various ways the company was able to leverage cloud services to help it migrate IT infrastructure and systems following its various acquisitions.
In late 2012, enterprise cloud provider Virtustream also shared how Domino Sugar used its hybrid cloud services to migrate and integrate IT assets from a recently acquired holding, Tate & Lyle Sugars. In this case, Domino Sugar had to first 'carve out' Tate & Lyle Sugars' business applications from its prior parent company's IT environment before the newly acquired company could be integrated into Domino Sugar's IT environment. At the time, Domino Sugar was also using Virtustream cloud services. To aid the process, the cloud provider deployed an on-premise cloud appliance at Tate & Lyle Sugars' U.K. data center. It then connected the appliance to its own off-premise cloud nodes in the U.S. A post-merger integration, migration and archiving methodology was followed by Virtustream in order to successfully transition and merge IT assets between Domino and Tate & Lyle. [See press release dated 09/13/2012, "Cloud Leveraged for a Rapid Post-Acquisition Integration of Tate & Lyle Sugars." ]
Such use cases highlight hybrid cloud's ability to serve a number of functions, including its use as a viable staging and filtering area for incoming IT assets stemming from a recent acquisition.
Swing-Shift Hybrids: What You Need to Know
Domino Sugar's real-world case describes methodologies and planning needed to successfully use hybrid cloud in this type of swing-shift mode.
Here, it might be helpful to consider that much of the same methodologies and planning apply to the post-M&A environment as they do when you are conducting other major data center transformation efforts:
- Physically moving your company's IT assets to a new data center
- Consolidating or collapsing multiple data centers
- Merging dispersed IT assets after a business-wide reorganization.
In all cases, a wide variety of large and small details and dependencies must be identified, evaluated and addressed. Experienced IT advisors can help minimize a company's risk during this process. This includes knowing where best to employ a hybrid cloud to further minimize risk and streamline integration. Armed with this type of advice, a company in the midst of M&A activity should be able to better address:
- Ways to begin operation of the newly acquired entity within an often tight timeline
- Interim and post-M&A handling of the acquired company's mail servers and Active Directory domains and domain controllers
- Whether or not the acquired company's hardware should be added to the new company or whether it should be subsequently retired
- The impact of archiving some of the acquired company's data and applications vs. retiring applications which may now be obsolete
- The possibility of combining short-term data migration efforts in a hybrid cloud environment with a larger virtualization project. Such an environment may be able to facilitate migrating the acquired company's physical servers into a virtual server environment (P-to-V conversion)
- The prospect of setting up parallel or interim test/development environments via hybrid cloud in order to try out migration and integration efforts between old and new systems, or between the two companies themselves
Other Considerations
In contrast to a cloud provider used for cloud bursting (where usage may only be needed over a matter of hours, days or weeks), usage of a swing-shift hybrid cloud provider is likely to span several months. This can impact what to look for when trying to find the right cloud provider.
Among the points identified earlier in this article, organizations also need to take a closer look at certain IT management elements like data protection and security. The term "hybrid cloud" implies that certain controls like authentication and management/monitoring can be extended from your company to the cloud provider. Even disaster recovery may need to be considered and included. Organizations should also spend time looking at the provider's data migration plan and application migration strategy since the data originates from an external source, the acquired company.
This is also an area where details really matter. A service provider that can effectively serve the role of a swing-shift hybrid cloud provider must exhibit the appropriate level of technical expertise, technological capabilities and customer references. The provider's contract and service level agreement must also have much of these details spelled out before you sign on the dotted line. IT advisors can help in this type of vetting process as well.
Once you have a viable roadmap to help navigate through these potential obstacles, hybrid cloud used in this type of swing-shift mode can be a very satisfying and efficient way to ease the burden of acquisitions. It can also help ease IT operational headaches and smooth the integration of an acquired company's people, processes and IT assets.

The major cloud platforms defy a simple, side-by-side analysis. Each of the major IaaS public-cloud platforms offers their own unique strengths and functionality. Options for on-site private cloud are diverse as well, and must be designed and deployed while taking existing legacy architecture and infrastructure into account. Then the reality is that most enterprises are embarking on a hybrid cloud strategy and programs. In this Power Panel at 15th Cloud Expo (http://www.CloudComputingExpo.com), moderated by Ashar Baig, Research Director, Cloud, at Gigaom Research, Nate Gordon, Director of T...

The definition of IoT is not new, in fact it's been around for over a decade. What has changed is the public's awareness that the technology we use on a daily basis has caught up on the vision of an always on, always connected world. If you look into the details of what comprises the IoT, you'll see that it includes everything from cloud computing, Big Data analytics, "Things," Web communication, applications, network, storage, etc. It is essentially including everything connected online from hardware to software, or as we like to say, it's an Internet of many different things. The difference ...

The security devil is always in the details of the attack: the ones you've endured, the ones you prepare yourself to fend off, and the ones that, you fear, will catch you completely unaware and defenseless.

As any Whitby homeowner will know, property value is an important topic. You want to make sure that your home maintains and grows in value over time. But is landscaping a worthwhile investment to make to ensure that your property value increases? Before you set out to find a Whitby landscaper let's delve into this subject a little deeper.
Let's be clear here, landscaping will without a doubt increase your property value. There is no evidence to the contrary (unless you count outlandish or very strange landscaping design). But, there is simply more to landscaping than throwing a few flowers into the earth and slapping some shrubs here and there. The most important aspect of landscaping to boost your home's value is having a sophisticated and lush landscape design.
Okay, so you've found a landscaper in Whitby that is excellent with design, and you've already got some blueprints or design mock-ups that look great. Now is this all you need to do? It might be, but you'll need to consider exactly what it is and is not in the design. The top thing that people are looking for will be plant size and plant maturity. Beyond this you'll also need to ensure that there is an abundance of plant diversity. This means you need a very lush and full landscape design to maximize the value-add for your property.
Avoid having a messy and incoherent landscape design. Speak with your landscape contractor and make sure that your landscape design is one that will flow together well, if you have a choppy or strange design that lacks flow or coherent aesthetics it could very well could end up harming your property value. Consider for a moment, if you have an overly creative or outlandish design, or simply a design that looks bad, potential homeowners will simply look at your landscape as something that needs to be fixed after they purchase your property. This is not a good thing.
So to recap, make sure that you have a coherent landscape design put together that includes a diversity of plants; maturity, size, and species. If you can locate a Whitby area landscape contractor that can provide you with these traits you are well on your way to an increase in your property value due to a landscape upgrade.

Sometimes we hit walls. Sometimes they are seemingly every time we turn around. One moment we are flying high, and the next, someone has taken their kite and wrapped it around our wings, dragging us to the dirt. I keep trying to look on the brighter side, but it just keeps happening. So I thought the best way to deal with it all might be a blog since I can feel my steam dissipating.
If you read my blogs, you know that my b.f, R., had a mental/psychotic breakdown most likely resulting from his mix of drugs colliding with his chemo drugs. Chemo with a loved one is hard enough, but I was just spent. Emotionally exhausted I push on, but this is a step backwards and really really difficult. Essentially, this is Wall 1 because it stands in the way of progress for him and our relationship, and I don't know if or when it will happen again.
Then there is the whole give up my dream of teaching in the classroom for however how long thanks to the budget crisis in California. I worked really hard at something, got really good at it, and that big emotional and slight financial payoff never happened. Severe disappointment, That was Wall 2.
Then there was that little thing about R. calling me fat for the most part. Not a wall, but ticked me off none the less. (See last blog for that one.) Anyhow, life has just been really hard at times.
The thing that kept me going was knowing that I was still doing something good. Out of all this crap, I was healthier than ever before. It was nice to hear the positive things from people, because the rest of much of what I was dealing with was complete crap. Enter my sister, stage left.
My sister is beautiful. She is 5'8 with long limbs, big eyes and has the model build. Needless to say, the exact opposite of my 5'4 self. And this is after having my niece. I love and adore my sister. Aside from being pretty, she is smart and an extremely talented artist and just scored a full scholarship to her chosen art school next year, where her whole family is moving with her so she can continue her dream. You could say she is the whole package. Sounds great, right? Yeah, well...
My sister, J., calls me on Easter to wish me a Happy Holiday AND to tell me that my brother in laws grandmother (we are close to their family because they sort of took us in when my mom and then my dad died), she asked if I had taken terribly ill because of my facebook picture, the same picture I have on here on my blog profile. And then it starts.
How much have you lost all together now? 56 pounds [pre and post spark]
What size jeans are you wearing now? A 6, to which she replied "so your smaller than me now". And I replied, "only because you have hips".
What is a healthy BMI for your height? About 110 to 145 (she sighed)
And where exactly are you going with this? "Well 145 is far to much and I still have a lot to lose, so I am thinking 120," I say. "120 is too much. I was really too thin at 120," she says. "You are 4 inches taller than me!"
And I hold my breath because I can hear the words in her head. "I think you should stop." Okay so she didn't say it this time, but she has in the past. Instead she says, "Well, we should get together so you can see Jelly Bean [my niece] We can meet half way or something." Ah, the checkup inspection. Nice one, but I can see right through you. I did live with you for over half your life.
See this is how things work in my world. Someone dies or there is a messy family thing, as the older one, I handle it all for the most part. But somewhere along the way her getting married and having a kid somehow gave her qualifications to play "big sister" when she chooses. She makes me seriously nuts sometimes. And she knows I value her opinion and actually listen to her (at times) and she can make me second guess myself, and that ticks me off.
So my sister's issue with my weight loss and R.'s comments about my weight makes me think about throwing in the towel, in a manic I'm done/why bother way. Wall 3 is not there yet, but it is slowly building. And the thing is, that this wall would be the wall I would put there, not one that was placed by circumstance. That means I gave up if that happens. I don't want to do that. But being the people-pleaser that partly got me into weight trouble in the first place, I don't want to disappoint or upset my sister. Bizarre? Absolutely. But it is like an instinct. And then the other side of me pops up and says, what are you going to do? Go back to being the fat sister to please her? That's just stupid. Talk about unhealthy.
So what's my plan? Well coming to the end of this blog I realize I am going to regroup, clear my head, refocus. I am going to see my niece and my sister. I am not going to hide in big clothes to please her for appearances sake. This is the current me. She is going to have to deal with it. I am still overweight and I am not ready to build my own wall and stop myself. It may even be twisted, but I am going to wear my most flattering, casual outfit. I have even been thinking about getting my hair cut, so I may do that before I see her too. It has been a month since I saw her, and thus another size and various inches in places. I might as well get the shock out of the way up front. lol I can't help some things, but I can stop my own sabotage.
Ah, sisterly love! If you stuck around until the end, thanks. I know it was a long one. :)
That time is approaching in So. Cal. It's spring, and with spring comes the inevitable thoughts of swimsuit shopping. Yes, I know, some of you are dealing with 35 degree weather, but it is 80 here today, and by late April, many of us will be lounging around pools and trekking to the beach.
Now, I am a girl, and regardless of any weight loss, I have bathing suit shopping anxiety. I am not going near a bikini yet. I am just looking for something cute, since I have nothing that fits now that I have lost 50 pounds. In fact, the swimsuit from last year was tossed already. I already informed my shopping accomplice, A, who is currently at law school, that when she returns there will be shopping for a new suit on her next break. After all it is her house I will spend lounging around the pool when she returns for the summer. But I have to get up the courage in the meantime to enter those dressing rooms. Online shopping I go, looking at pics of various styles.
I find a few things and something in particular that looks a bit retro by Allen B. It's here if you want a peek.
It has attachable straps, and I thought I could also make a halter strap with my nifty sewing skills. That way, I would have various looks.
Randomly, I show the boyfriend and say, "I like this."
To which he responds, "Cute, but do they have your size?" Which would have been fine, if he hadn't then added, "Because she looks small."
Mind you I have worked my butt off literally, and have gone from a 16 to a 6 in jeans, which he is well aware of. So the after thought bubble to insert after the small remark is 'and you do not because you are a cow.' Bastard.
Okay, he didn't actually say the cow part. And the 'you do not' part was insinuated. Still...bastard.
I could really understand this if, IF, I was still a plus sized gal and trying to shop in the misses section of a store. That would be a perfectly reasonable thing to ask. I would not be ticked off at all. I faced that dilemma for years, and the disappointment of them not having a size big enough. But now? Seriously?!
I may have issues with the mirror and self awareness with my body, but it has been getting better, and I certainly know what size clothes I wear. He says he didn't mean it, but that is not what it sounds like to me.
Sorry, but I had to vent. At least I know who I am.
For the last week or so I have been seriously thinking about changing my scale goal. Docs always said "Get to 145 and I think you will be slim and healthy and look great." Liars. Large frame by butt. There is no way that all that is left is going to go away in 15 pounds. In fact, I don't even think 140, the goal I had set would do it. So where does that leave me?
Well, after serious thought and review of my measurements and the issues at hand, or rather the ones I can still grab lol, I am thinking 120-125. At 5'4 and 125, that would give me a BMI of about 21.5, smack dab in the middle of the healthy range. Seems reasonable, right? So what's the problem? I can't manage to bring myself to change the ticker!
It's like it will shift momentum, or make it all seem so far away again. It is entirely irrational. I am thinking about losing that much. I have spoken verbally with others about losing another 40 lbs. But somehow that ticker is like the final word...committing it to a form. And then I seem so far away from goal again visually. Sigh. Maybe I will just wait until I reach 140 and then switch it, breaking it essentially in half. I'm usually not this much of a chicken, so I have no idea why I struggle with this stupid ticker. I mean, it is not like I have not been successful. I have full confidence in myself. I know I can reach whatever goal I set. Its just a strange feeling, so I thought I would share. Anyone else feel like this?
As my friend always says, just keep swimming.
PS I shared a secret on the new board about staying positive.
So I was feeling a little blue. I didn't lose anything this week, although I am not shocked because I lost so much (almost 4 lbs) last week. But it also gets hard when things get difficult financially, even though I know this is the real last month that will be like this with the new job starting next month. Still, I had some unexpected costs come my way this month that drained me. Down to the last few dollars, that ever makes me feel good. I ration everything at this point just waiting for next week. Anyhow, I needed to pick myself up. I wasn't hungry, but I realized I could eat whatever. But why? Nope, I decided. There is gas in the car, the cat needs food with some of that money and I am going to wander around my little town until I feel better. ;)
Near the grocery store is a JC Penney. It is actually next door. ;) How convenient. It doesn't matter that I don't have any money, because I know that is changing for good, and I will have plenty soon enough. Life will stop being so hard. So I push through the doors and head to the "fun size" section. It seems to have shrunk and has been pushed over a bit to make room for more dresses. Not much of a selection today. They seem to be inundated with unattractive matronly Easter dresses. Yuck! Still I look through the bit of options and pull every pair of capris, jeans and shorts in a 6P. The test...random items, random brands.
I march into the dressing room. Okay, I think, if this doesn't work, I am going to have to go home and go to bed. I take some jeans off the hanger. I hold them up. I am wearing my size 10s I have shrunk a few times, and they are still big. Granted I can wear the jeans I stashed that are a size 6, but for some reason, I always wonder if I have imagined it all. lol I unzip them and slip them on. Well, they didn't stop at my calves, which was a good sign. All the way up, and a rush comes over me as they button and zip. I turn and survey in the mirror. For the first time ever I walk out of the tiny room and look at the BIG mirror. (I was usually too embarrassed with myself to bother with that. Dressing rooms were always a timed, rush exercise for the most part.) I squint my eyes and try to see if I can see what everyone else sees when they see me. Not really, but I see the tag, and it says 6. A huge smile spreads and I sort of bounce back into the room.
I feel like a junkie, and need another hit. Okay I have never done heroin (I know way too much about it, but that's another story), but I am thinking that this is my heroin. Off go the jeans. On goes the capris and then more items. Off, on, off, on...this continues and my mood really picks up. Total euphoria! It didn't even matter that I didn't like the way some things looked or the cut. It didn't matter that none of it could come home with me. I could put them all on and they all fit! I didn't even mind the bad lighting or the fact that the mirrors always seem oddly tilted. lol
Forget confessions of a shopaholic...they need a new word for my new hobby. Try-aholic? I don't know what to call it, but that was better than any food, more comforting than anything else I can think of. It is my new mood buster!
Two days ago I blogged about being able to get into size 6 jeans. Well this morning I had to go to a meeting at the vet's office where I will start work next month. I don't have a lot of clothes, so I pulled out something old, a pair of dressy shorts, the kind that come mid knee and used to fit close. I held them up to me. They seemed like they would fit and I rationalized that if they were a little large, that would be okay and a belt would solve the problem. Plus, really cute with flats and a little jacket.
I slipped them on and belted them...tight. It was a bit like a girl wearing man's clothes. Well, that's in right? Oh, how I can rationalize. They wrinkled and puckered and I tried to adjust them so they looked gathered in the right places. Incidentally, it was at this moment that I realized that my belt is too big and it is on the last notch. I put a properly fitting top on and walked to wear R. sat. Asking him if this looked all right, explaining the dilemma of not much of an option otherwise. (Don't want to be overdressed and don't want to be under dressed.) He said it might work, if I didn't wear my Hello Kitty slippers. lol
I went back to the bathroom and finished my hair. As I lifted my arms with my vented air brush, my shorts actually fell below my belt in the front, if you can picture that. This will not work, I thought. I undid the belt and slid them off. There was no need to unzip them. Reaching for the trusty old standby, I slipped on extra dark washed denim jeans. So that is how pants are supposed to fit! (Literally, I have nothing that fits in career wear for the lower half. 9 articles of clothing aren't cutting it. I need to shop next month when I get paid obviously.lol )
I glance at the tag of the other dress shorts. Size 17...not just a little big for me. What the heck was I thinking? When will the brain catch up with the eyes? I held those up against my body and rationalized that those would fit me, even looking in the mirror. How? My brain needs some analyzation... But it's got to get better at some point. And hey, on the bright side, I think it is time to dump everything out of my closet and say farewell to even those things I have emotionally been hanging on to. Spring cleaning has approached!

Flash floods kill 29 in PakistanFebruary 07,2013
Flash floods kill
29 in Pakistan
PESHAWAR, Pakistan Flash floods following torrential rains in the countrys northwest this week have killed 29 people.
A spokesman for the disaster management authority in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province said Wednesday that most of the casualties died when their homes collapsed.
Adnan Khan said 75 people were also reported injured in the floods. He said the rains, which started Monday, damaged about 1,400 homes in the province.
Pakistan suffers every year from flash floods caused by monsoonal rains.
In addition to the flood victims, Khan says three soldiers are missing following an avalanche in the village of Surgulu Binshahia.
Pakistan suffered the worst in 2010, when floodwaters inundated one-fifth of the country, killing over 1,700 people. More than 20 million people were affected at the time.MORE IN Wire NewsVIENNA Reflecting its lessening oil clout, OPEC decided Thursday to keep its output target on...

BHP Billiton,

Shivani Singh
SINGAPORE BHP Billiton Ltd. cited slowing global growth and volatile commodity markets for a slump in its fiscal-year earnings.
The worlds largest miner posted attributable profit of $10.88 billion for the 12 months ended June 30, down 29.5 percent from $15.42 billion the previous fiscal year on revenue that fell 8.7 percent to $65.97 billion.
Weaker commodity prices hurt earnings by $8.9 billion, and the company took exceptional charges of $922 million, including impairment charges related to its Nickel West and Worsley assets in Australia.
The miner, which has been on a major cost-cutting drive, expects capital expenditures to total $16.2 billion in fiscal 2014, down 29 percent from $22.9 billion in the fiscal year just ended. Of its 18 major projects in execution, about 70 percent are expected to deliver their first production by the end of the 2014 calendar year, the company said, adding that a majority of its development projects are brownfield, which are inherently lower risk.
"I have no targets for asset sales. Despite difficult markets ... I am not under any pressure to sell," chief executive officer Andrew Mackenzie said. "We continue to believe that the urbanization of China and 250 million people moving from the countryside to the cities in 10 to 15 years will be a significant spur to demand for many of the commodities we produce."
In the short- and medium-term there are "reasonably positive" signs that China will achieve its forecasts of 7- to 8-percent annual growth, he said.
The growth rates for steel demand in Asia are expected to moderate as the Chinese economy gradually rebalances, BHP said. "We expect overcapacity in the aluminum and nickel industries to persist, while robust near-term supply in copper and U.S. domestic gas should, over time, give way to market conditions more influenced by resource decline."
BHP expects iron ore output to increase 11 percent to 188 million tonnes in fiscal 2014 year, while metallurgical coal production is forecast to rise 9 percent to 41 million tonnes.
The company expects its copper production to remain unchanged at 1.2 million tonnes. The Escondida copper mine in Chile remains on track to deliver 1.3 million tonnes of copper in fiscal 2015, BHP said.A version of this article was first published by AMM sister publication Metal Bulletin.

SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- The planned merger between Alliance Bank and NBT Bank could lead to nearly 100 layoffs in Onondaga and Madison counties. The banks are set to merge, pending government and shareholder approval, this coming March. Friday, Alliance notified employees that 42 positions at its Syracuse headquarters and 56 positions at its operations center in Oneida could be eliminated. Alliance says the actual number of layoffs is not set yet, and they will try to find other positions in the company for affected employees. NBT Bank is based out of Norwich in Chenango County.

Imagine if similar feat happened today Brad Biggs
Imagine at the end of a blowout if Minnesota Vikings coach Leslie Frazier sent Jared Allen out to kick an extra point.
It would be the talk of TV and radio for a solid week and Frazier would probably be accused of grandstanding in the biggest way.
But that's essentially what happened in the final regular-season game of Deacon Jones' career. Jones died at 74 on Monday. Dan Steinberg of the Washington Post dug through the archives to come up with some information on the extra point Jones kicked to cap a 42-0 victory over the Chicago Bears on Dec. 16, 1974.
Now, before we go any further, we're not suggesting this will be the final season for Allen. We are also not suggesting Frazier would choose to do this. We were just using an example of a top pass rusher in the game at this time, and pointing out what an interesting sidebar it would create.
Now, back to the archives. Redskins coach George Allen elected to allow Jones to kick an extra point at the end of the game. Jones apparently borrowed a kicking shoe from fellow defensive end Verlon Biggs, who did not kick for the team.
"All I was hoping was that the snap wouldn't be high, so I wouldn't have to run it in," Jones said. "That would have taken courage. Guys like me are trained to dish it out, not take it."
The kick banged off an upright and went in.
"A little three-cushion shot," Jones said. "I like to bank it in there. Makes it a little more exciting."
It would be some story if it happened for a pass rusher today. But that is what Jones' career was – some great story.
