Lawyer Tim Danson said the family of Nik Zoricic feels his legacy has become something positive and to be celebrated
The family of Nik Zoricic has set a deadline for an investigation into the late Canadian skicross racer's death
Toronto legal firm Danson Recht says Swiss authorities reached 'unacceptable and insulting' conclusions
Nik Zoricic, the Canadian ski-cross racer who died at a World Cup event in March, will have his memory live on this season on the Canadian team's uniform
"Egregious negligence" was responsible for the death of Canadian skier Nik Zoricic, who was killed in a ski-cross crash in Switzerland last month, a lawyer for his family charged Wednesday.
The family of Canadian skier Nik Zoricic, who died during a ski cross race last month, is refuting claims that his fatal crash was a "freak accident."
A news conference has been scheduled for Wednesday morning by Toronto lawyer Tim Danson concerning the death of Canadian ski-cross racer Nik Zoricic, who died in a racing accident at the World Cup event in Grindelwald, Switzerland on March 10
In order to explain a little about who Nik Zoricic was, Dave Ellis pointed to the picture he was holding in his hand
Nik Zoricic was 29, and he grew up in Collingwood, Ont., after his family came to Canada, and he died after suffering severe neurotrauma in a crash Saturday in a skicross World Cup race in Grindelwald, Switzerland.

How does light from a beauty dish behave, and when and why would you use one?
A beauty dish gives a softer light than an unmodified flash, but not as soft as a softbox or shoot-through umbrella.
This means that you can control the light more than when using a softbox.
A beauty dish is often used in portrait work, and can be flattering when used as a light on the subject's face, where it can give a nice balance between even softbox type illumination and harsh ringflash.
In general, the beauty dish will cause an even spread of light around the subject that provides for better contrast. Basically, it becomes less directional, illuminating from several directions rather than from above or to the side. So, in that sense, it would be used for portrait work or even product or macro. It is, however, more harsh than using a softbox setup, so be aware of the impact that can have on skin flaws and such.

Bethany Cosentino has described Best Coast's forthcoming EP Fade Away as "kind of like if you took Crazy For You and The Only Place and created a baby out of them," splitting the difference between the former's lo-fi production and the latter's hi-fi sheen. That fine-tuning is evident in the effortlessly tuneful "This Lonely Morning," the Fade Away track premiered today. It's boilerplate Best Coast, the apotheosis of "ain't broke, don't fix it," and you can check it out below.
(via Rolling Stone)
Fade Away is out 10/22 on Cosentino's own Jewel City label.

An Unexpected Journey
Jennifer Kennedy Cassidy, Jerry Newcombe
Air Date:
December 21, 2014NRB - 10:00pm EST
In the midst of the business that comes with the Christmas season, it's refreshing to rest on this amazing truth: The Son of God was born into the world, and because of that, we can be born again—born to a new life in Christ. That's what Christmas is really about. God sent his Word into the world so that we could know Him intimately. God isn't obligated to communicate with us—but He does. He offers us His word, his love, and his very self. To begin this special Christmas program, our teaching pastor , Dr. Michael Milton, begins his two-part message on why "God Gave Us Christmas."
The 13-part series of full-length sermons by Dr. Kennedy, The Gospel in the Stars, is now available for the first time in its complete form in both DVD and CD formats. The accompanying book, The Real Meaning of the Zodiac, provides the messages of The Gospel in the Stars in printed form, and also contains valuable ancillary resources, such as a planisphere of the constellations and a detailed four-page chart listing the Gospel meaning of each of major and minor constellations in the zodiac.

This presentation is one that I gave at the New Mexico, New York City, and Seattle VMUG conferences (this specific deck came from the Seattle conference, as you can tell by the Twitter handle on the first slide). The topic is design considerations for running vSphere on NFS. This isn't an attempt to bash NFS, but rather to educate users on the things to avoid if you're going to build a rock-solid NFS infrastructure for your VMware vSphere environment. I hope that someone finds it useful.
My standard closing statements goes here–your questions, thoughts, corrections, or clarification (always courteous, please!) are welcome in the comments below.

Very nice Scott. For two years I managed a large Tier 1 VMware on NFS shop (500 hosts, 25 vCenter Servers). Designed right with the proper care and feeding, NFS is both a viable and scable option. That's not to say it doesn't have it's own set of unique headaches which range from design, to impelmentation, to troubleshooting.
Excellent NFS 101 Scott. In reference to Ryan, If your NAS appliances can support sub interfaces or alias addresses on an aggregated LINK, connecting to different Datastores via different VMkernels/subnets works a treat.
The problem with NFS has always been the lack of load balancing.. that is going to change, and as soon as it does I can see iSCSI Datastores becoming less common.
the slides are blocked by EMC IT, sigh…
Very useful and timely presentation. It was great to see this presentation here in Seattle.
Regarding Jumbo frames during the presentation, if i captured your thoughts accurately you effective explained:
- 10Gb CNA's typically mask performance gains utilizing Jumbo Frames – performance benefits minimal.
- Beneficial to low IOP / Large Payload apps / instances.
- 95% of apps won't realize a benefit from Jumbo Frames.
What are your thoughts on UCS implementations:
- 10 Gb connectivity
- All vmnics funnel through a set of uplink connections to the physical switches which effectively would require all interfaces to be configured with Jumbo frames.
- SQL Best Practices (per vBCA video) recommend Jumbo Frames.
I am attempting to define a solid Reference Architecture for UCS implementations I am involved in. Your views and input would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks – Jerry
I'm finishing part 1 in a series on NFS deployment in SMB space and your slide deck popped up as a reference a couple of times. Your overview succinctly hits the high-points, and since I didn't hear the preso I can assume you elaborated on a couple of IP-hash relevant issues:
1) hashing related to switches (typically layer-2);
2) hashing related to NAS (layer-2 to layer-4).
vSphere has no deterministic influence on return-path choice (other than how it advertises and withdraws its MAC and sources its vmknic IPs), but those elements listed above do; and different switch/NAS vendors use different algorithms to determine how deeply hashing goes. For instance, low-end switches will likely use (or be limited to) layer-2 hashes yet Linux and Solaris derivatives (NAS) will use layer-3 or layer-4 hashing as default (multiplexing datastore traffic per session/TCP-data port).
Higher-end switches will often use layer-3 hashes, with more advanced ones using layer-4 (beyond layer-4 has dubious value for NFS). I have not seen any studies on the importance, risks or performance factors related to hash alignment where storage is concerned, although the biggies – out-of-order delivery and latency – can be assumed to be affected to various degrees. These factors could shift switch vendor (and/or model) selection for heavy NFS shops and could imply performance issues at the network layer based on NFS volume/loads (i.e. NFS packet rate increasing switch packet inspection overhead).
Also, the issue of VMware Tools guest OS tuning was absent in the deck, although I came across your valuable input on Frank Denneman's blog on the topic as well as Jason Boche's NFS postings so I have to assume a question or two came up in the preso. This topic is a very important one to my posting – especially where the differences between Windows and Linux treatments are concerned.
I've yet to find a VMware source that explains why Windows timeout adjustments per VMware Tools are still 60 seconds and Linux timeouts are 180. Your recommendation was 125 seconds back in 2009, but have you shifted your guidance to agree with Jason Boche and NetApp at 190 seconds? Likewise, as an EMC'r with closer ties to VMware now, do you have any insight into the discrepancy between Linux and Windows defaults per VMware Tools?
Thanks for all you do in support of the VMware community – it might be a job now, but your passion still shows!

Obama's War Is Peace
The author of this entry is responsible for this content, which is not edited by the Wilson County News or wilsoncountynews.com.

President Obama demonstrates his utter contempt for the American people -- and the law -- when he says the War Powers Resolution does not apply to his intervention in Libya because, as the White House put it, "U.S. operations do not involve sustained fighting or active exchanges of fire with hostile forces, nor do they involve U.S. ground troops."
Apparently bombing military forces and government facilities while taking sides in a foreign country's civil war no longer constitutes participation in hostilities. Obama apparently read Orwell's 1984 ... and learned the wrong lesson.
Thus the president thumbs his nose at a lawsuit filed by several members of Congress aimed at forcing him to comply with the law.
The War Powers Resolution was passed in 1973 after presidents for decades had ignored the congressional requirement that Congress declare war before the U.S. military engages in combat. The resolution states that its purpose is to "fulfill the intent of the framers of the Constitution of the United States and insure that the collective judgment of both the Congress and the President will apply to the introduction of United States Armed Forces into hostilities, or into situations where imminent involvement in hostilities is clearly indicated by the circumstances, and to the continued use of such forces in hostilities or in such situations."
By any commonsense reading, Obama has the U.S. military now participating in hostilities. Rebels are trying to forcibly overthrow the government of dictator Muammar Qaddafi, and the U.S. government, along with NATO allies, is assisting that effort. Despite Obama's promise that that the intervention was intended only to protect civilians from Qaddafi's air attacks, the alliance has assaulted Libyan ground troops, government buildings, and even Qadddafi's residence. The U.S. government plays an essential role. A few weeks ago Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said, "Even today, the United States continues to fly 25 percent of all sorties. We continue to provide the majority of intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance assets."
Under the terms of the War Power Resolution, a president can commit forces on his own say-so only in "a national emergency created by attack upon the United States, its territories or possessions, or its armed forces." Once committed, the president must stop military operations after 60 days or get authorization from Congress.
The president's violations of the law should be obvious. First, when he intervened with other NATO countries in the Libyan civil war there was no national emergency and no attack on the United States or its armed forces. Second, although the 60 days expired on May 20, Congress has not authorized continued intervention and Obama has not ceased the military operation.
In this matter, Obama has again revealed himself as George W. Bush on steroids. His virtually absolutist notion of presidential power might have even Alexander Hamilton spinning in his grave. The founding generation feared unrestrained executive power to make war perhaps more than anything. As James Madison said, war is to be avoided because it is the germ of so many other evils. That's why the Framers gave the power to declare war and to control the purse to Congress. Obama knows that -- he once taught constitutional law -- but he is not about to let little details get in his way of flexing the American empire's muscles. "What we say goes," George H.W. Bush once said. Obama agrees.
It is heartening that a bipartisan coalition is rising up to protest Obama's autocratic behavior. His curious insistence that the United States is not actually engaged in hostilities is a virtual admission of guilt, and his Capitol Hill critics aren't buying it.
Perhaps the long-awaited resistance to Obama's imperial policies will grow apace. Democrats have been reluctant to criticize one of their own, even when he is doing things they condemned just three years ago. Republicans, as usual, have been afraid of appearing "weak on defense." But Obama has now gone too far for some in his party, and a growing number of Republicans find cover in the stalling economy, deficit-ridden budget, and Democratic White House. That confluence of factors seems to have pushed them in the direction of noninterventionism. That is all to the good. It may not last, but we can hope.

Alvin says economy is growing? How? Based on what? The DEBT is growing, that's for sure!
From USA TODAY, by Richard Wolf: Obama, Congress warned: National debt growing faster
"The Congressional Budget Office reported Wednesday that the nation probably will owe outside creditors more than the size of the entire economy in 10 years.
"The forecast -- a public debt equal to 101% of the economy in 2021, and rising to 187% by 2035 unless dramatic changes are made -- should be a warning to President Obama, Congress and Vice President Biden's band of bipartisan negotiators meeting daily to devise just a short-term fix."

God, Alvin just shut up. I heard this morning that you Bros, the far left liberal Wing of the Communist/Socialist/Democat Party are starting to put out the story that the last 2 1/2 year of failed economy is the Republicans fault....now, how they get to that point is way beyond me.
The economy IS NOT DOING FINE...don't you even look or listen to any financial data coming out? Pernanke said just yesterday that there wasn't anything else that the Fed can do to help the economy and he doesn't know why the economy is not recovering...that's from one of the head cheeses in Washington... I guess you either didn't hear that or you conveniently don't left data and facts get in the way of your ideology. I guess Obama is still your pet monkey!

You want to talk all that "nuke everyone" "war is good" sillyness, then fine- have fun with that.
In my house, we see a terrorist, we're Fkn killing it.
Obama's doing just fine. The economy is growing, jobs are growing, and we're killing terrorists. Not perfect, but he's doing fine.

7th, I would like to know how you are making tons of money? The only way you could be making tons of money is to buy houses as investments while the prices of houses have dropped about 20% during Obama's tenure, you are applying for and getting a lot of government hand outs, you have participated in a cash for clunkers, you were part of a bank or mortg company that got bailed out, you have received one of those new Federal Government jobs that have a larger salary that many state governors, or you are a member of a union, you have invested in some of those 'green' companies that have used environmental protection agency to put some businesses out of business and made it possible for other (green companies) to start up (you know the ones...the ones that made that idiot Gore a billionaire while pushing false science).
And, I really, really resent you calling President Bush derogatory names...I listed to that bull crap for 8 years while a good, sincere, and just man was totally and unfairly attacked and vilified by all the far left wing cross eyed fools that belong in or around the Democrat/Socialist/Communist/marxist party.

The other side of Henry Flint
Having handled a fair bit of Henry's artwork over the past few years it's always interesting to see that he's entirely un-precious about it, many pages arriving with other doodles or even finished images decorating the reverse sides.
I started scanning some of these as they were really quite good and I knew that I'd have to give the artwork back at some stage (these were mainly pages from 'Broadcast').
When I put the idea of showing some of these to him he promptly sent me a folder with a load more! So, here for your perusal, is a peek over the page, literally, at the other side of Henry Flint's work.
For more like this, see the aforementioned book, 'Broadcast' or check Henry's site. He recently had an operation and used his time to draw his surroundings whilst in hospital.

Dáil Éireann - Volume 492 - 09 June, 1998
Priority Questions. - Crop Losses.
Mr. Ring Mr. Ring
6. Mr. Ring asked the Minister for Agriculture and Food if he will give a breakdown of where the £1.3 million funding under the 1997 weather related crop losses scheme was allocated on a county by county basis; the reason no funding was approved for applicants from County Mayo in view of the financial losses they incurred during the flash flooding in June 1997; if the scheme was implemented on a national or south of Ireland only basis; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [13566/98]
Mr. Walsh Mr. Walsh
Mr. Walsh: I propose to circulate a table detailing grant assistance by county under the scheme of assistance for weather related crop losses in 1997 in the Official Report. The scheme was introduced following an on-farm assessment by Teagasc of unharvestable crops and associated losses on some farms in the worst affected areas of the country. The scheme was targeted at growers whose main source of income was from arable crops, potatoes, horticultural crops and grass seed, and whose crop losses seriously threatened the viability of their farms. While fodder crops and other such losses did not come within the primary scope of the scheme, I am having these applications reassessed in the case of individual applicants who meet the general criteria of the scheme and who have incurred significant hardship
Mr. Ring Mr. Ring
Mr. Ring: I thought I would have got the list this morning setting out where the money was spent before this question came before us. I am sure it will make interesting reading. How much money was allocated to Wexford, Cork and other counties along the south coast? I am disappointed I did not get the answer to my question. I will have to wait until tomorrow to get that information which I should have now.
A number of farmers in Mayo submitted applications under this scheme. The second highest number of applications came from County Mayo. Those applicants received letters from the Minister last week stating they did not qualify for the scheme. Has the Minister approached the Minister for Finance to seek extra funding? Why were those farmers from County Mayo excluded from the scheme? A farmer from County Mayo who is at the loss of £1,000 is comparable to a farmer from the south coast who is at the loss of £5,000.
Mr. Walsh Mr. Walsh
Mr. Walsh: I do not have responsibility for giving out replies, but I understand they cannot be circulated until the end of Question Time. If the Deputy wishes to check any aspect of this matter, I will be glad to let him have a copy of the tabular statement. There is a problem with this scheme in that it does not provide for any allocation for crop damage or damage to farming enterprises as a result of bad weather. All we can do is try to make savings in the Department and allocate a relatively small amount of money in that regard. Farming organisations should consider setting up some type of insurance operation to address this type of problem because inevitably every year there is flood damage, frost damage or damage caused by storms or something else. We have to look for savings in the Department and such savings are inadequate to meet the various applications for assistance.
The difficulty with the applications from Mayo is that those applicants did not suffer the same extent of damage to their arable crops, potatoes, horticultural crops and grass seed as that suffered by those in the grain producing areas of Wexford, Waterford and the southern part of the country and horticulture growers in north Dublin. I asked my Department officials to re-examine all the cases involved, particularly those in the Bangor Erris area, to ascertain if hardship is demonstrated and where applicants come within the [12] general criteria of the scheme, we will see if we can help them out.
Mr. Ring Mr. Ring
Mr. Ring: Has all of the £1.3 million been allocated to applicants or is some of that money still in the Department? Has the Minister approached the Minister for Finance to seek extra funding? Has he had meetings with his backbenchers on this because they have made many announcements to the effect that their constituents will be paid, but they have now had to pull back from that.
Mr. Walsh Mr. Walsh
Mr. Walsh: Eligible applicants who met the scheme criteria have been given an allocation from the £1.3 million. That sum has not been fully exhausted, although it has been virtually exhausted. I have approached the Minister for Finance to seek additional funds as, I am sure, have many of my colleagues in relation to many shortfalls in their areas. I have regular meetings, at least once a week at parliamentary party level, with my backbenchers. If a backbencher from any party seeks a meeting with a Minister, I am sure the Minister is pleased to have a chat with them, as Ministers do on a fairly regular basis. I hope the Department officials examining applications from farmers in the Deputy's constituency will be in a position to make recommendations shortly. I also hope we will be able to find some resources to alleviate some of the hardship they have suffered.
Mr. Ring Mr. Ring
Mr. Ring: This is a national scheme but, as implemented by the Department, it seems to be a south of Ireland scheme. The Minister said he would give me the information on allocations made under the scheme and I will check to see where the money has gone. The people of Mayo are outraged by the failure of anybody in the county to qualify. Some people have applied for the scheme but have——
An Ceann Comhairle Séamus Pattison
An Ceann Comhairle: The Deputy must conclude.
Mr. Ring Mr. Ring
Mr. Ring: I ask the Minister to make every effort to ensure Mayo is included in terms of funding.

According to salary information obtained by The Baltimore Sun, the district paid about $3.4 million to nearly 1,600 city school employees in 2011, a year when school budgets were cut because of rising personnel costs.
"My initial impression of these numbers is that we have a lot of people working very hard on behalf of our city schools, and the education profession can't be considered a 9-to-5 job," said Neil Duke, president of the city school board. "But the district has to look at this because we're in tight financial times."
School officials said the overtime costs are mostly tied to student safety. The vast majority of overtime earners were city school police officers and operations staff who maintain the system's crumbling infrastructure.
"We have to curb overtime, but we can't do it and compromise kids' safety," said Tisha Edwards, chief of staff for the school system. "We are asking people to do more with less, and sometimes that can be done with a 40-hour week, and sometimes it can't be done. And when it can't be done, we have to pay people."
The top overtime earner in 2011 was Alonso's driver — a school police sergeant hired in 1975 who has worked as chauffeur to city school superintendents for two decades.
The sergeant, Ralph Askins, more than doubled his $76,819 wages, logging roughly $78,000 in overtime last year. He made more than Gov. Martin O'Malley, whose salary is $150,000, and about the same as Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake, who makes $155,000. In addition, he earned more than the highest-paid educator in any city school.
Edwards said overtime remains an "expected expense for the system," which has a $1.3 billion budget, and doesn't put it financially at risk.
Baltimore County paid less overtime to its school employees last year — $2.7 million, according to a spokesman, who said the majority went to workers who deal with facilities emergencies such as custodians, grounds workers and maintenance workers. The county schools do not have their own police force.
City school officials said the overtime payments are the "cost of doing business." But an analysis of the salary information reflects the fact that Alonso's strategy of reducing administrative employees still carries a steep cost.
Since he arrived in 2007, Alonso has continued to chip away at the district's central office, promoting the move as a cost-saving measure as 1,600 full-time employees have left since 2008.
But while the number of full-time employees has decreased, the system has had to pay tens of thousands of dollars in overtime to salaried and hourly-rate staff, or heavily rely on temporary employees, who make between $7 and $41 an hour, plus overtime.
In 2008, when the schools chief began cutting the central office, there were 596 temporary employees working in the system who cost $53,600 in overtime. Last year, there were more than 1,184 temporary employees, who cost the system $193,000 in overtime. The highest overtime payout to a temporary employee was $24,419.
"Even though we've had to reduce the [full-time system's employees], there are times where we have to rely on people to fill gaps that the reduction has created," Edwards said. "We have to overextend people in many cases. But we have to be cognizant of how that is perceived."
Edwards said temporary employees offer cost savings because they are paid less in benefits and can be used on a flexible basis.
The overtime that teachers and principals received in 2011 was modest — a few hundred dollars each, which the system is required to pay in stipends for required activities such as professional development. The overtime earned by cafeteria workers and other support staff was in the single- and double-digits.
Salary data show that the driver position has historically incurred the most overtime costs. Askins has been paid $40 an hour under the schools chief and remained the highest overtime earner since Alonso's arrival, earning about $216,000 in overtime from 2008 to 2010.
Askins declined to comment about his earnings.

The iPad is the hot item that everyone is discussing. If you aren't using iPad, you don't know what you're missing. iPads provide hours of entertainment and utility for all. Look here to this post to find some great tips to use.
You can access remote servers through a VPN network. You can enable this VPN connection by activating the VPN feature in the network settings. You'll have to log in and supply the server address. If you are not sure what the server address is, you should contact the person who administrate the VPN network.
Did you unintentionally open an application that makes a lot of noise? Here is how to mute volume quickly: Press and hold the volume button. Your sound will be turned off fast. If you use the mute button a lot, you can configure the lock orientation button to function as a mute button.
It is possible to expand the amount of preview text you get for emails. Go to Settings/Mail/Preview. Increase the number of lines listed. Now you'll be able to see every email that you have in your inbox, which really speeds things up.
If you do not have much time, do not use your iPhone's charger to charge your iPad. This is because it has a different wattage than an iPad charger. If you try to use an iPhone charger, you'll have to wait a very long time for it to fully charge. Instead, use the charging cables that came with your iPad.
Muting your iPad quickly and easily is easy. Simply hold the volume down button for a couple of seconds. That works faster than continuing to adjust your volume. If you want the volume to revert back to the original level, just hold down the button again.
Since getting an iPad costs quit a bit of money, you'd be wise to take great care of it. Get a screen protection if you plan on transporting your iPad. A screen protector is a thin, plastic sheet that will help protect your screen. Use a cloth that is designed for cleaning screens whenever you wipe off your iPad. Do not use any harsh cleaning agents to clean your iPad.
You are now able to quickly mute your iPad. The first iPads did not have a mute button on them. With the iOS 4.3, you can now use the lock switch to mute the sound. To do a quick mute on your iPad now, press and hold down your volume-down button.
The information that you read above will definitely assist you in getting more out of your iPad. If you use them on a daily basis, you will be amazed at just how beneficial it is to have an iPad. Come back again and again to make the suggestions part of your knowledge base.

Bandverzeichnis › Burghausen
In the early cold days of the year 2010 three young guys had the idea of forming a band to do what they like most: Music.
Actually Philipp and Aaron played together in a band before but after a while, their first few gigs and their first recordings (e.g. "Right Meaning of Live") they broke it off with their bassist. Now the drummer and the guitarist were searching for someone who could handle the four-stringed instrument. That's when Lukas stepped in. After Aaron bought a PA they began to write songs: Aaron (Guitar, Vocals), Lukas (Bass, Vocals) and Philipp (Drums).
After they wrote some songs they were about to play their first gig. But something was missing: A band name! While Aaron and Lukas were spending their summer vacation in London,they thought about some names and got to "Resonance of Mind" which was the headliner of an Hinduistic newspaper article about the influence of thoughts on your environment that they saw in an Indian super market.
Back in Germany they got the flyers for their first gig (feat. "Before the Murder" & "Bloodshed Remains"). But they were confounded: Their band name had been written incorrectly ("Resonant of Mind" instead of "Resonance of Mind"). So they had the choice: Keeping the "false" name or correcting about 700 already printed flyers. They decided to keep the name.
Resonant of Mind - The link between hardness and emotion.

Take a few minutes to do a personal inventory of your goals and resources. Think about what it is that really lights your fire. Passion is a driving force in our lives, and that's never as true as in business ownership. If you have a passion for your work, it'll carry you far.
If you need help assembling this personal evaluation information, sit down with a trusted friend, an advisor, your spouse or someone you now with business experience, and outline your resourses, strengths and weaknesses, as well as your financial resources. Talk concept and listen carefully. You need a reality check here. Don't necessarily accept what you hear, but take it into account. What type of business activities play to your strengths? Can your advisor see you pursuing a certain type of business? Would you be better-suited for a business-to-business sales situation or a retail setup? Are you good with people, a good public speaker? Are you detail-oriented? Can you afford to run a business? Can you afford to fail? What's your level of risk tolerance?
This information will be very helpful when you start to narrow your franchise search. By maintaining a clear focus on your fundamental interests, you won't be pulled off-track by the distractions you encounter during your quest.
Take To The Streets
Now for the fun part: Apply your personal goals to the franchise market. For a quick start, attend a franchise trade show--they're a terrific way to gather a lot of preliminary information and survey the field in a short period of time, and you can find them in most good-sized cities.
When attending a franchise trade show, keep a few thoughts in mind. First, remember the companies exhibiting at the show by no means make up the entire universe of franchise opportunities. In fact, these events showcase only a small selection of the available franchise programs. Second, you should take full advantage of the information available. Stop by the booths of all the companies that fit the business profile you outlined in your goal-planning sessions. Leave your name and address with those companies that interest you. Ask questions, and listen carefully to the answers. Gather handouts and take notes. You'll get a good feel for franchise discourse, the questions to ask and the key sales points in any program.
