Designer Commentary
How's everyone doing?! Summer so far has been great for me. I've met so many new amazing individuals by participating at FARM Animal Rights Movement, protesting against animal cruelty at Indy the pit bull's trial (which is continuing July 18th!), connecting with interns for my EcoFashion brand Veltimera, and through my social media posts. Since I've been so busy with my business, I haven't posted any new blogs here, which is why I'm writing this one.
I won't be back on here for a good while, BUT, I will continue engaging with artists/vegans/fashionistas through my social media pages. You can also read the posts my blogging interns are writing at http://veltimeraupdates.blogspot.com/.
A little bit about the two events I mentioned above:
FARM Animal Rights Movement is a non-profit raising awareness on animal cruelty for food by sending volunteers, all around the US, to schools and public events. They host a variety of campaigns, such as: "World Day for Farmed Animals , Great American Meatout, Gentle Thanksgiving, 10 Billion Lives Tour, Letters from FARM, Sabina Fund, Vegan Earth Day, Meatout Mondays, and Live Vegan." Just like Veltimera, their mission is to end the use of animal products and support animal rights. This is an image below of my friend and I at one of the volunteer campaigns for the 10 Billion Lives Tour.
Indy is a pit bull from the Valley in California that was found on the day after the 4th of July in a dumpster with third degree body burns. Camera's caught a man throwing him into the dumpster at night, and was finally caught almost a year later. The woman that took care of Indy adopted him and called a trial against the man, but unfortunately, the man got away with only an animal negligence charge. By the second trial, 3 people for Indy increased to 300 protesters against animal cruelty. Now we are waiting for the third trial July 18th at the Van Nuys Courthouse!! Anyone and everyone that can attend, do so, and tell everyone you know as well. We are absolutely grateful for the support. Below is an instagram pic of the event, and that's a service dog in support of Indy.
If you'd like to keep updated on events such as these, and connect with me through my social media, click the links below (I post about animal rights, vegan dishes/recipes, my style pix, my troublemaking cat, makeup art such as the one at the top left, and more. Always love meeting new people!):

Violet Gemini: Underwater Fashion Shoot
Hope everyone enjoys this set of photos! This experience was exhilarating, and I'm glad to get the opportunity of shooting with photographer Michael Obando once again.
How we came about shooting this was actually because all year of me living in this apartment, that I'm about to move out of, I never went in the pool. For some crazy reason, I decided this was the perfect time. At night, in a dress, with the freezing water! After about an hour of swimming, though, I got used to the water and I didn't want to come out haha.
Recently, I've been playing around a lot with makeup, so I'm still pretty new to it. I was shocked it stayed neat during the entire shoot.
I'll also be selling crop tops, like the one I'm wearing, soon on my website. Keep coming back! www.veltimera.com.

10 Tips on How to Build a Great Website
When I first started my brand Veltimera, I knew I wanted a website, but had no idea how to do it. Like everyone else, I thought I had to know coding and all that outer space material that only those who study it understand. But, the curious cat that I am, I googled "create your own website." Simple as that. That is how I came across Wix.com, which I highly recommend. There's other sites to creating websites, but this is the one I love the most because of everything they provide for you. They even build a website for you if you'd like, which of course you have to pay for; but hey! if you have the money, go for it!
So here are the tips I recommend for building your own website, without the coding:
1. If starting with Wix, look through the variety of templates they have available based on your category of service. Preview your favorite ones and print out each page of those templates, or if you're conscious about the Earth as am I, take snapshots and open them in an Adobe program to write notes there. Write what you would want to say on the different sections of the pages, add notes on images you would like to use, cross off what you don't want, even mix and match your favorite pages from the different templates. That way, when you go and edit the actual template online, you won't be lost and you'll have it done quick and to its maximum potential.
2. This brings me to my next point: Have clear goals on what you want your viewers to see/feel/imagine/understand, and who you want to be attracted by your site. By knowing the answers to these questions, you'll know what not to do or use on your site.
3. If not using Wix, you can probably still do the same steps of printing out the templates you like or writing notes through an Adobe program.
4. Create your own backgrounds, images, and logos. I made the mistake of using a background from what's provided at Wix my first time, and later found another site with the same one. So Embarrassing!! That may also show your lack of passion and attention to detail, because you couldn't even come up with your own style.
5. Look through other websites in your field, from lower price markets to higher cost brand products, and competitors too. What do all their sites have in common? What do you notice many of them are missing? What is essential and what isn't? Pay very close attention and keep note, so that you know what to add, edit, or remove from your site.
6. Also look through sites of other industries. Most people don't think of this, because they subconsciously just want to follow what everyone else is doing, but sometimes you find great ideas you can incorporate to your site.
7. Be creative and have fun! Just don't go too overboard, because too much stuff can become overwhelming, and your potential customers can get agitated and leave in a quick second.
8. Make your most important pages stand out and make sure your visitors can navigate through your site with ease.
9. Ask friends and people such as teachers or established business people what they think of your site, and what advise they can give you. Do Not accept "I like it" or "it looks great." That is not constructive or helpful at all. Make sure to ask them specifically about the advise or what they liked or didn't like, not just "what do you think?."
10. If you have the money, you can also pay a graphic design student to edit your site or create some images and maybe even a logo. Or subscribe to a service that gives you advise on a month to month basis. There are tons of great tools you can find online to help you with your site and more. Just Google it!
I love Google!!!
Hope you enjoyed my tips and found them useful. If you have any questions, let me know!

Shoot in the City Night Sky
Here are the images from my second shoot with model Ariel Yu, photographer Michael Obando, makeup artist Leah Darcy Pike, and our friend Allison Samonte that worked with me on hairstyling. This was such a fun shoot too, hurrying to get great shots before the sun went down and using what we had available for lighting. It truly is a great team I got to work with.
In this shoot, we finally got to use my Raglan Double-breasted Hoodie Jacket. I made that design about 2 years ago, so it was amazing to get the chance of shooting it with insane makeup and a stunning model.
Our first shoot together can be seen here:
To contact these amazing artists, inbox them through their Facebooks:
Enjoy!! :)

Valentine's Day Shoot
Hope everyone reading this had a great and memorable Valentine's Day!!
Two weeks ago, I had a shoot for designs of mine from about two years ago. I posted some of these photos on my Facebook, and I'm posting the full shoot here. There were two designs, and this post is only for the Golden Satin and Lace Dress. Next shoot posting soon!
Credits to the amazing collaboratives:
Photographer: Michael Obando
Makeup: Leah Darcy Pike
Hair: Allison Samonte, Leah and I
Each one did their absolute best to create a wonderful shoot. When I gave my ideas to Leah and Allison, they executed them beyond what I imagined! We also all worked together on developing the beautiful romantic hairstyle. It was fun seeing what we could come up with, and astonished that we even did that when none of us knew much about hair, haha!
Before having the shoot, I spoke with Michael on the feel of elegant bubbliness and joy. We actually had intended to shoot in just one area at the top of a building, but when we went downstairs, there was so much he had in mind to capture. Even when I asked him about one place to shoot in, he took it to the next level and gave me beauty and color. And Ariel is a fantastic model with great reflection of the photographers mind. As he directed her, she executed without any questions or doubts. From one mind to the next to the next, we all connected very well, and voila!

Animated Video Tutorial: The Storyboard
If anyone's curious on how I made this video, here I'm going to show how I did it. Of course, there might be way easier, faster ways other artists do it, but I just wanted to show the process I took. When looking online, I also didn't really find detailed tutorials on how to create an animated video. With this post, I'm going to show the first part of making a video. :)
Note: I used Photoshop and Illustrator CS5, but this tutorial also works on CS3 and CS4. Haven't tested it on CS6 yet. I also did all this on a PC, so things might be different on a Mac.
The first step is to have a story or idea in mind of what you would like to show or say. Yes, you can create short funny clips, but I think having a story always makes things more interesting. You don't want people wondering why you even made the video haha.
Next, create a storyboard, which is your template outlining scenes in your video from beginning to end. You can sketch it out in a notebook, then do the actual thing on Illustrator, or brainstorm and everything just in Illustrator.
This is what my storyboard looks like
As you can see, I crossed out what I didn't need, wrote notes from scene to scene, and numbered each one. Each scene is determined with how massive of a change it will be. For example, something zooming in to view is one scene, but once the image disappears and another comes into view, that's another scene.
Note: an expanding image will actually be multiple images on Photoshop, but an image gliding across the page or up and down just counts as itself. This is because the bigger image takes up more pixels, so to Photoshop, it's a different image (Wish there were automatic transitions).
What's so great about Illustrator is that everything is done in vector form, which means every line is going to always look smooth even if you zoom in. This is because the program uses mathematical calculations to clean up the line automatically; whereas in Photoshop, images consist of pixels. Pixels are like the little dots you see in old newspapers or art that create the image, but in Photoshop, when you zoom in, they are squares. Each one has a different color, and even a black line isn't really a line. When you zoom in, it will have black squares then grey then white.
What's also great is that you can have multiple boards in one file. Think of it as a bunch of sheets of paper on a huge table. You can draw on the table and draw on the sheets, but only what you have on the sheets can be viewed by others (let's say, if you make a booklet and print out multiples). What you have inside the boards on Illustrator is what others see if you save it as a PDF or JPEG.
To set up your workspace, estimate how many scenes or pages you're going to need.
-Click File>New.
-Title your video
-type in the number of pages and size of your sheets (which is actually the size of your video)
-select the orientation-horizontal or vertical
-the size of spacing between boards (the image below says 0.5, but you want tons of space to work in, so it's better at about the same size of width of your boards size) For example: My boards were 4in x 6in, and the Spacing was 6 inches
-and choose how you want your boards to appear on the screen. This is the tricky part, I always manage to get confused about how many columns to have.
As you can see, there are four options on your boards layout. You can have them going across with multiple rows, up and down with multiple columns, straight across or straight up and down. For videos and large files with tons of boards, I like to have them going across with multiple rows, just like animators do with their storyboards. My workspace consisted of 30 artboards with 6 columns and 5 rows.
It's also better to have more pages, because then you can just delete them if you have too many. If when you're creating your storyboard though, you realize you need more pages, you can add them too. You do that by clicking on Document Setup at the middle top of the screen, then Edit Artboards, and dragging a copy of the last board by holding Alt+Shift while holding the left button on the mouse (Alt is to copy, Shift is to drag straight across). You can drag and paste as many boards as you'd like, but always drag from the last one. Otherwise, the order gets moved around when you save. To delete, you just click on the artboard you want to remove and hit backspace.
Once you have all the options the way you want them, click OK. Now you can start brainstorming one scene at a time or backwards or here to there. For example, as I worked, I started with the first couple scenes I had in mind, then did the last couple scenes, then some in the middle, and finally filled in the details.
STAY TUNED FOR THE NEXT PART OF THIS TUTORIAL! :) Hope you enjoyed this one, and if you have any questions or comments, let me know.

Vegan Recipe for Champurrado
Every Christmas, my family makes our traditional Mexican drink Champurrado (one of my favorite things about the holidays!!). When you don't have something so often, that is what makes it even more special; and since this drink only comes around twice a year, I go crazy for it! So, I decided to learn how to make it myself.
Champurrado is kinda the Mexican version of hot chocolate, but not really haha. It's different because it has a thicker consistency and doesn't actually taste like the typical chocolate flavor you're probably used to.
I called my mom to ask her how to make this drink, but also asked about the version with cookies. The traditional Champurrado is made with just flour, but this recipe includes animal crackers.
These are the ingredients:
- Water (changes with pot size)
- 2 Bars of chocolate (I used Ibarra)
- 3 Tbsp Cocoa Powder (which I added while making the recipe, so it's not in the photo)
- 3 Cups Milk (the traditional Champurrado uses condensed milk cans, but I used 8th Continent Soymilk in Vanilla)
- 1 1/2 Cups Sugar
- 1 Tbsp Cinnamon (I'm supposed to use the actual cinnamon sticks, but I hate when the woody stick gets in my cup so I prefer the powder cinnamon hehe)
- 2 Cups Flour (Maseca, All-Purpose, or Minsa-which is the one I used)
- 1 Bag of Animal Crackers (yes, they're vegan, as long as they don't contain milk in the ingredients)
And this is how to make it! ^_^ :
1. Fill pot halfway with water and turn heat on to medium. This pot is 11" in diameter and 6" deep (tip: try to get a pot taller than this one because when the Champurrado is boiling, it rises).
2. Add sugar, chocolate bars, chocolate powder, milk, and cinnamon into boiling water and stir.
3. On a bowl, mix the flour with water from the pot. The mix should turn liquidy, so add water little by little till it drips from a spoon somewhat easily. It shouldn't be too watered down because you want the Champurrado to be thick. The reason why you mix the flour in a bowl with water first is because if you add it straight to the heating pot of water, it's going to just lump up and not dissolve at all.
4. Add the flour mixture to pot of water and stir some more.
5. Now for the cookies, place them in a blender with a cup of water from the pot, and blend till it's like the flour mixture.
6. Pour the cookie mixture into the pot with the rest of the ingredients and turn up heat to high.
7. Brace yourself! Now, you're going to have to stir for about 35 minutes to an hour. Do not stop stirring, because if you do, it will stick to the bottom of the pan and burn.
Note: If when stirring and scooping up some Champurrado with a spoon to see how it drips, it's not getting thick after 30 minutes, repeat steps 3 and 4 with a half cup of flour each time.
8. After turning off the heat, stir a bit more, and then let it sit till it cools. You can also scoop a cup and put it in the fridge to cool faster.
Voila! Champurrado ready! Enjoy your drink warm or cold, it'll taste good in both. Even experiment if you want, using other types of cookies or other flavors like coffee. I'd love to hear any new ideas or questions, so let me know. :)

Drugs, money and a gun were seized from a home in the 1000 block of E. Fourth St. in Monroe on Tuesday.
The Monroe Area Narcotics Team & Investigative Services (MANTIS) and members of the Special Response Team (SRT) from the Monroe County Sheriff's Office executed a search warrant at the home around 9:30 p.m.
Investigators took three male suspects into custody after locating guns, heroin, cocaine and marijuana in the home.
Acting Lt. Heath Velliquette said the SRT team assisted MANTIS with its operation, which drew residents out of their homes as they witnessed the search.

As debt has continued to increase more than paychecks in the last decade, personal bankruptcies have soared. This year alone, over one million bankruptcies will be filed in the United States. But is it really such a good idea for someone over their head in debt?
As a consumer, you can be hurt. Consider the consequences of filing bankruptcy:
1. It costs money to go bankrupt. Attorney and filing fees can total hundreds of dollars.
2. Not all debts are dischargeable; for example, recent income taxes and student loans generally are not and child support never is. Your home mortgage and car loans are usually secured and the creditor is entitled to take the property involved if they don't get paid.
3. In bankruptcy proceedings, your personal finances become public knowledge and the legal activities can be time-consuming.
4. Credit bureaus can keep a bankruptcy on record for up to 10 years, often making further credit hard to get and more expensive. The bankruptcy actually stays on your record longer than 10 years because it can be reported if a credit file is used for a loan or life insurance applications of $50,000 or more. The same applies for a job application involving an annual salary of $20,000 or more. Not many employers are eager to hire someone who has declared bankruptcy.
5. Finally, bankruptcy can be very demoralizing. Most people feel better when they pay their bills.
Unfortunately, consumers also have no idea what bankruptcy costs them in the form of higher interest rates, tougher lending guidelines, and higher prices in the stores. Nearly half of the fees that consumers pay for credit cards are used to cover credit card bankruptcy losses.
Bankruptcy law is designed to relieve persons of crushing debt beyond their control, such as from illness or a job layoff. Then, bankruptcy court can enable an unlucky debtor to build a new life by nullifying some or all debt.
U.S. Law takes two approaches to bankruptcy. Chapter 7 is provides a straight liquidation, in which most unsecured debts are discharged 100%. Chapter 13 provides for repayment of some or all debt under court supervision. As long as the debtor makes agreed-upon payments to a trustee, creditors are held at bay.
Although job loss or high medical expenses from illness or injury account for more than 60% of consumer bankruptcy, plain credit misuse is also a major factor. If your debt load is high and anything happens to your budget -- such as a job loss or unplanned medical expense -- it all comes tumbling down.
The law requires attorneys to certify they've counseled clients about bankruptcy effects and alternatives. But, remember, lawyers don't get paid for discouraging bankruptcy.
If your debt load is at the max, start to reduce it now -- don't let your financial situation become another statistic in the growing rate of personal bankruptcy filings.

Best of 2013 | Truck Series
Thursday, Dec. 19, 2013
Driver of the year
The most improved driver in the Truck series also was its champion. Although Matt Crafton won just one race in 2013, he finally mastered the consistency necessary to compete for a championship. He began the season with 16 consecutive top-10 finishes and ended the year with 19 in 22 races.
Team of the year
ThorSport Racing not only won its first series title with Crafton, but its drivers – Crafton and Johnny Sauter – were the only drivers to lead the standings. Sauter won the first two races of the season, then he turned the points lead over to Crafton following the fourth race and Crafton never relinquished it.
Race of the year
It might not have been the most competitive, but the inaugural Truck series race at Eldora Speedway in Rossburg, Ohio, certainly drew the most attention, in large part because it was the first NASCAR national series race on dirt in more than 40 years. Austin Dillon, a former Truck Series champion, used his extensive dirt-racing experience to hold off Kyle Larson, another dirt ace.
Runner-up race of the year
The inaugural race at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park in Bowmanville, Ontario, certainly provided one of the most exciting finishes of the season. Ty Dillon and Chase Elliott were running first and second coming to the checkered flag when Elliott wrecked Dillon and sent him into the tire barrier. Elliott went on to claim his first series victory.
Newcomer of the year
Jeb Burton, the son of former Daytona 500 champion Ward Burton, had a spectacular season. He finished fifth in the standings, won a series-high seven poles and earned his first win June 7 at Texas.
Quote of the year
"The 3 (Ty Dillon) just dumped me. That's exactly the reason I'm leaving (Richard Childress Racing) because you've got those kids (Ty and his older brother Austin) coming up and they've got no respect for what they do in this sport. They've had everything fed to them with a spoon." – Kevin Harvick after getting wrecked during the Oct. 26 Martinsville, Va., race by Ty Dillon. Harvick would apologize for his remarks.
Best tweet
"We Came. We Saw. We Conquered." – Driver Darrell Wallace Jr., who earned his first series victory Oct. 26 at Martinsville and became just the second African-American driver to win a NASCAR national series race and the first since 1963.
Biggest OMG moment
Following a run-in on the final lap of the Sept. 1 race at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park, drivers Max Papis and Mike Skeen continued their battle after the race. First, a crew member for Skeen attempted to go after Papis as he was sitting in his truck, only to be body-slammed to the ground. Then, Skeen's girlfriend confronted Papis in the garage area and slapped him hard across the face.
Biggest surprise winner
In a battle between drivers who had never won in the series, 17-year-old Erik Jones pulled away from Ross Chastainover the final 10 laps Nov. 8 at Phoenix to become the youngest winner in series history. Jones was making his fifth series start.

Directions: Northwestern point of the island of Oahu. I suggest start and park on the north shore side.
Trail Information: Beautiful 3.3-13.0m run from one side of the island to the other around the base of the Wainae mountains where the native Hawaiians believe the spirits go.
Miscellaneous Information: 3.3m from the end of pavement on either side to the lighthouse. I suggest running the full length around and back. Bring plenty of water as Kaena means "the heat". I am out there at least once a week. If anyone wants me to run with them email me. My PR's are 24:17 to the lighthouse (3.3m) and then 1:49:16 around and back (13.0m)

The counties with the disaster designation are eligible for federal assistance, and their cities are eligible for an early distribution of December LGA.
The 2015 local government aid for cities will increase by $9.3 million to a total of $516.9 million.
Cities impacted by recent natural disasters and those with cash flow needs may be eligible to receive an early distribution of December 2014 LGA.
The bill also repeals the June accelerated sales tax remittance requirement for larger vendors, including larger municipal liquor store operations.
Under the 2013 LGA formula changes, a drafting error will impact future LGA distributions if not corrected.
The legislation would add $57 million to the LGA appropriation, beginning with the 2015 calendar year distribution.
The 2014 LGA payments will be distributed under a revised formula with an overall $80 million appropriation increase.
Newly updated League documents provide detailed information about the local government aid program.
The bill includes sales tax exemption for cities, LGA reform and appropriation increase, and levy limits.
The bill includes several provisions of interest to cities, including LGA reform, police and fire pension aid funding increase, and municipal street improvement districts.
The bill includes LGA reform and $80 million appropriation increase and a sales tax exemption for city and county purchases.
Among other things, the bill includes $80 million in additional funding for the local government aid program.
The House Property and Local Tax Division has released the first draft of their division report, which will incorporated in the broader omnibus tax bill.
The bill is scheduled for a hearing on Feb. 27 in the House Taxes Committee.
Gov. Dayton's budget proposal includes a significant reform to the LGA program for the 2014-2015 biennium.
Cities using federally funded economic development programs will stand to lose funding if the federal government fails to pass a deficit reduction plan by Jan. 2.
Cities that use Generally Accepted Accounting Principles are required to submit financial information to the state 180 days after the close of the fiscal year.

The Old Man and the Sea
Perseverance Quotes
How we cite our quotes:
The old man is superior to others not because of his strength, but because of his willingness to endure pain and his determination to win.
Although the black man is a better athlete than the old man, the old man is more determined and therefore wins.
The old man uses his own determination to test the limits of that of the fish.
The old man's determination pays off; while he cannot beat the fish in strength, he slowly wears him down instead.
That the old man speaks to himself illustrates the intensity of the situation; he has to verbally convince himself to endure.
Because the old man addresses his body, we see a difference in psychological determination, which is undying, and physical determination, which has its limits.

One of the secrets of top sales people is that they never stop working on their sales persuasion techniques. Every lead, every prospect, and every client is different, and smart sales people know that there is no one size fits all approach to selling success. With that in mind, practicing these seven sales persuasion techniques can help you improve your numbers, and set you on the road to record sales.
You might have the best product on the market and know all of the right words to sell it, but if you don't look the part, your sales are likely stalling. Prospects want to do business with a professional, and one's interpretation of "professional" includes the look. Disheveled clothing, poorly prepared notes, and other indicators of a salesperson in a rush can make even the most effective sales persuasion techniques fall on deaf ears.
Trust is the cornerstone of sales in any market, and the bedrock of all sales persuasion techniques. Build trust with your prospects and clients, and sales are sure to follow. Nurture leads so that they feel you are listening to their needs and are willing to make a contribution to their business, and never rush into a sale. High pressure tactics don't work nearly as well for long term sales that build in value as an approach centered on trust.
All sales people looking for new sales persuasion techniques have heard that it's the sizzle, not the steak, that leads to a deal. The key is understanding that the sizzle is in the differentiators, what makes a product or service better, faster, more desirable than the competition's answer. Your task is to identify these "sizzles" and sell based on how these will build a prospect's business.
Urgency is one of the most important sales persuasion techniques because it works. However, sales persuasion techniques based on urgency don't need to involve pressure and clear cut deadlines to be effective; even implying that a deal that closes before you leave a pitch could somehow be better than a deal that closes next week can build the urgency needed to make sales in record time.
Many sales people use the wrong approach, telling prospects what the sales person believes the prospect wants to hear. Asking persuasive questions can make the prospect decide on a purchase on their own. Questions like "Do you need a product that works quickly or a product that takes time?" or "Would you like to use X financing or Y financing?" are known as double binds, and can be very effective sales persuasion techniques.
Even for top sales people, direct sales persuasion techniques are difficult to master. Psychologically, it is difficult to come out and ask, "So, when will you take delivery?" or "Can I count on your signature?" Yet a sales person who doesn't ask this question when appropriate will see sales slipping through their fingers at the last minute. Master the art of asking for the business, and you'll see your sales numbers improve almost overnight.

Current physician-integration strategies can be categorized into four basic groupings: customer service programs, contractual ventures, joint ventures/other ownership options, and employment. Each of these options has materially different financial attributes, control attributes, timing requirements, and typical results. Some options represent long-term strategies, while others represent transitional strategies to build momentum or foundational skills required to compete on value.
Customer service programs provide support and services to physicians in a variety of ways, including technology (e.g., electronic medical records (EMRs), common communication platforms, scheduling systems, and call centers), group pricing for medical malpractice insurance, training support, physician concierges, continuing medical education, comarketing, and other services that make it easier for physicians to practice within the hospital or health system. The objective of these strategies is to improve independent physician performance and satisfaction, while aligning physician goals with hospital and health system goals. Generally, these strategies improve functional capabilities, require a low level of capital commitment, and do not require a significant change in culture and commitment. The downside is that the strategies do not bind the physicians to the organization and are successful only if the physicians are satisfied with the programs.
Contractual ventures involve one or a series of contracts with individual physicians or physician groups either to purchase services from them or to provide services to them. Most contractual ventures are of medium duration (three to five years) and are directed at improving efficiency, coverage, or sharing of performance-based incentives without an ownership stake. Examples include clinical integration (CI) programs, professional service agreements (PSAs), comanagement agreements, and management services organizations (MSOs).
CI programs. CI programs involve a set of contractual agreements between a health system and physicians to improve quality, access, service, and efficiency performance measures, allowing the health system to share financial incentives with the participating physicians for achieving specified metrics. Due to regulatory requirements, these agreements cannot be exclusive, and participation is at the discretion of the participating physicians and contingent upon compliance with the guidelines set forth in the CI program requirements.
PSAs. PSAs are the most common contractual arrangements between hospitals and hospital-based physicians or physician groups for professional services. These ventures are aimed at securing specialty or geographic coverage for physician services. Most current PSAs use quality and access performance thresholds and other metrics that align physician performance to hospital/health system objectives.
Comanagement agreements. A comanagement agreement involves a contract between a hospital and physician practice or physician management company. The practice or company agrees to perform clinical and management services with specific improvement targets in exchange for a predetermined fee. The performance metrics used should be reevaluated annually, and the rule of diminishing returns will be observed as performance levels approach long-term goals. Comanagement is a relatively quick and proven method for hospital-physician collaboration, but such arrangements have been drawing increased regulatory scrutiny, so counsel is needed to ensure full legal and regulatory compliance. These agreements also are falling out of favor because of their short-term nature and the considerable effort required to renegotiate them.
MSOs. An MSO is a company or operating division that sells practice support services on a contractual basis to independent physician practices. Typical services include billing services, EMR platforms, accounting services, and any other shared services that are not a core patient contact activity. Typically these agreements have bidirectional service-level agreements with required performance metrics for each of the parties. HIPAA and antitrust requirements mandate strict data partition and privacy standards. MSO services can provide the foundation for data-sharing opportunities, accelerating the collaboration that will be required to compete based on value.
Other forms of contract-based integration options include physician hospital organizations (PHOs), physician recruitment programs, real estate/equipment leases, and medical directorships.
A joint venture or ownership-based arrangements involves the purchase of a common ownership interest in a business venture by a health system and a physician or physician group. The parties agree to form and operate a common enterprise and share both risks and benefits. Historically, these ventures have involved ambulatory surgery centers, imaging facilities, urgent care centers, cath labs, GI labs, and other outpatient facilities. The ventures are capital intensive and take a fair amount of time to negotiate and build out. If set up correctly with the proper buy/sell and resyndication provisions, the arrangements allow for operation as long as the services are needed and priced competitively. Properly set up, they also typically enjoy a cost advantage over facilities run by health systems, ensuring that the venture will play a continuing role in a value-based environment.
However, in certain markets, many of these ventures are under severe payment pressure from commercial payers, and to a lesser extent, governmental payers. As payment and margins have declined in these markets, many physician investors have chosen to sell their ownership interest back to the health systems, converting their practices to hospital-owned. This conversion of the physicians to hospital-owned status can still offer a health system an opportunity if it provides a lower-cost environment for the services or if duplicative assets can be taken out of service, making remaining operations more efficient.
Physician employment or practice acquisition may take many different forms, including direct employment by a hospital, a wholly owned tax-exempt subsidiary, a wholly owned taxable entity, an independent or joint-ventured entity, and an independent, financially aligned foundation.
Current approaches to practice acquisition are more straightforward than arrangements consummated during the 1990s. Asset-purchase agreements are the dominant structure due to tax implications and liability issues (medical malpractice and federal billing). Physician's advisers are still requesting the transactions to be equity purchases; however, equity deals are rare due to the factors mentioned previously. Regardless of the purchase structure, clinical and financial incentives must be aligned as part of the transaction structure if it is to achieve meaningful integration and alignment.

I agree with Wonton... doesn't matter what you paid for it.. and how long ago did you pay that? When you see the same board brand new for the same price you're selling it used, there's no way in hell someone will buy it. I agree that $50 is more reasonable... but to each is his own... Good luck.
Haha I was gonna say that it was only $79 but I did not feel like ruining this guys sale. He also has fins for $20
Dude, it's a bodyboard for gawds sake!

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

Caption: To see through smoke, scientists employ lenses to collect and focus light, but using the same technique with flames results in saturation in some areas of the resulting image (top). The new system does not employ a lens, so collected light is distributed over the whole array of camera pixels, avoiding this saturation and the blind spots it produces (bottom).

Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

31.75cm (12.5) MULTIMODE BUSINESS ULTRABOOK™
The ThinkPad Yoga delivers flexibility for business. Its 31.75cm (12.5) display rotates 360 degrees to offer four different usage modes: Laptop, Tablet, Tent, and Stand. Boasting legendary ThinkPad reliability and a range of business and security features, it's the ultimate multimode business Ultrabook.
Please add 1% extra price for West Bengal, Orissa & MP
Please add 1% extra price for West Bengal, Orissa & MP
Easily change between four modes — Laptop, Stand, Tablet, and Tent — while your system automatically switches system settings and locks the keyboard in place. The secret: ThinkPad Yoga's unique design and touchscreen display allows the screen to flip around 360 degrees, which means you can select the mode you use based on what you choose to do.
Starting at a mere 1.58kg (3.5 lbs) and just 19mm (0.75") thick, the ThinkPad Yoga is ultraportable — it's perfect for doers on the go.
Pioneering ultrabooks need pioneering keyboards — and the ThinkPad Yoga's innovative lift-and-lock keyboard fits the bill. When your Yoga switches between modes, the keyboard frame automatically rises and the keys lock, eliminating accidental keystrokes and providing a more comfortable grip.
With up to 1TB in HDD storage/256GB SSD storage, the ThinkPad Yoga has plenty of space for all of your important files, videos, photos, and presentations. And the Lenovo Performance Booster enhances performance by up to five times.
The ThinkPad Yoga's durable magnesium-alloy frame and heavy-duty, scratch- and smudge-resistant Corning® Gorilla® Glass display means it can handle tough treatment from even the hardiest road warrior.
Choose a model with an optional digitizer pen to maximize productivity on your ThinkPad Yoga. In all four modes, the digitizer pen provides a natural, fluid, writing experience and lets you take notes, sign documents, annotate PDFs, and more.
The ThinkPad Yoga lets you stay productive over the long haul. With up to 8 hours of battery life — and a 30-day standby — you can go all day without recharging.
Interact with your ThinkPad Yoga by using simple, intuitive gestures directly on the 12.5" HD or FHD 10-point multitouch display — optimized for Windows 8. Its advanced multitouch technology provides a superior touch experience, greater responsiveness, and faster response times.
Stay productive by picking up where you left off in an instant. The ThinkPad Yoga wakes from sleep mode in less than 2 seconds and from hibernation in less than 7 seconds.
Enjoy peace of mind knowing that your data is protected. The ThinkPad Yoga's Active Protection System locks and protects your HDD when it detects sudden movements — it's like having an airbag for your hard drive.

Okay, so it seems like we've got this whole losing thing down pat. Maybe we should move on to winning.
Nothing beats a well-rounded team!
- Another bad outing from Peavy. Though as I said after his first start this spring, the only thing I care about when it comes to Jake is that he leaves intact. Though Peavy did provide a bit of a scare when he was removed from the game early, but it was only because he'd reached his pitch count. Peavy's final line: 2.1 IP, 8 hits, 6 runs, 2 walks and a strikeout. Woof.
- At least the "bullpen" pitched well. Outside of Peavy and Deunte Heath, Sox pitchers allowed only 1 run and 7 hits in 7 innings of work. Though Nathan Jones was the only one with a perfect inning.
- Alex Rios finally got some results. The new approach paid off as Rios went 2-for-2 with a walk and an RBI.
- Dayan Viciedo is becoming a bit of a worry. The Tank went 0-for-3 Monday with another 2 strikeouts and saw his average dip to .188 this spring. Still plenty of time for him to get things together, but if you were hoping Viciedo would come out of the gate as a big run producer this season, you may want to temper those expectations.
- There is hope in the farm system. No matter what the scouts say, seeing Jared Mitchell and Trayce Thompson in action this spring, the potential behind both is glaringly obvious. Thompson went 2-for-2 with a double on Monday and also threw a runner out at the plate. It even prompted Baseball Prospectus' Kevin Goldstein to tweet that Trayce has "breakout potential.
- White Sox players don't know how to use their hands when "acting." The Sox broke out some new commercials between innings with players shilling for folks to buy tickets and appreciate the game. In each one the players sat there with hands at their sides, motionless. Except for one man. Though you can't see them moving in the photo.
