Tie Pay to Performance -- The Innovators
In light of recent events in which the role of government and executive pay has moved to center stage, the parameters of compensation have taken on a whole new twist. But whether publicly traded, privately held, or government-supported, the basis for compensation in all companies should ultimately rest with performance.
Tying compensation to performance is the most basic form of accountability. It seems such an obvious connection, yet I can't believe how frequently I find that year after year workers who don't meet their objectives continue to get pay raises. If there are no consequences for poor performance, you can't expect improvement. What you can expect is a company full of poor performers.
Accountability at the Top
Looking specifically at executive pay, the expectation for performance should be even greater. In fact, there should be a direct link between executive compensation and the company's stock performance -- a competitive base salary with bonuses and stock options tied to company financial performance exercisable in predetermined tranches instead of at will.
An effective way to link the two is to compare the company's stock performance to the S&P 500, as well as the company's peer group over an appropriate period of time. Maintaining a balance between short-term and long-term compensation is essential in order to promote effective risk-taking. Interestingly enough, in 2001 executive pay linked to stock performance was an issue and one of the biggest concerns was with Bank of America (BAC). Perhaps if something had been done internally then, Bank of America would not be standing at the mercy of President Obama's pay czar Kenneth Feinberg as it is today.

By Ben Levine for Kapitall.
Anyone who has worked in the tech industry, knows someone who works in it, or has seen the 1999 movie Office Space could tell you about a leading stereotype in the industry: lack of diversity.
We all imagine a room full of white guys with pocket protectors, and according to recent reports, we're not too far off.
Search engine and consumer tech giant Google (GOOGL), in an effort at transparency and (ostensible) accountability, released a breakdown of their workforce demographics in May. According to the report, the entire company is 70% male, 61% white and 30% Asian, with only 4% identifying as two or more races, 3% identifying as Hispanic, 2% as black, and less than 1% as other.The report allows the viewer to narrow the search to Google's employees in tech fields and the results are even bleaker: 83% are men, 60% are white, 34% are Asian, with 3% identifying as two or more races, 2% identifying as Hispanic, 1% as black, and less than 1% as other. On Tuesday, Yahoo! (YHOO) followed suit. Their report contains roughly similar breakdowns. The news inspired us to seek out publicly traded consumer tech companies that shine more brightly in the realm of employee diversity, and we used DiversityInc's most recent annual Top 50 list to select them. Though participation is self-selected, the list is created empirically, taking 183 factors into account. The relevant companies that made the list are AT&T (T) at number 10, IBM (IBM) at number 23, Time Warner (TWX) at number 42, Verizon (VZ) at number 43, and Comcast (CMCSA) at number 44. Do you prefer to invest in companies that lead the charge in diversity? Do you think they will fare better as diversity issues become increasingly pressing? Take a look at the list below, and let us know what you think in the comments.

A Breaking Heart Still Beats
And now, without the ability to still draw breath, Bruno is teaching Sam again; about real loss, about real sadness that cannot be wiped away by mom or dad or a new toy or some childhood distraction. My son is mourning the loss of his dog and his sensitivities have been raised ten-fold in the days that have passed since. There are people in Sam's life that will pass on one day just as this dog of his has. If life plays out properly, I will be one of those people as a son should one day bury his father. Whether Sam knows it or not, he is being trained for that day now. He's in pain. He should be. He lost something and will need to recover and when he finally does he will realize that he may feel better but he will never feel the same. That's a lesson some people take a lifetime to learn and appreciate. To love something completely is to have your heart go running about outside your body. Only with that kind of reckless abandon can you truly enjoy, endure and risk the emotion called love.
And our lovable pets and all of the happiness they provide serve us in so many ways it is easy to forget the kind of ground they break. The dog of our youth becomes more than a memory. He is a teacher.
Sleep well, Bruno. The work you've done here was appreciated. The heart you left here is still beating.

Babatunde Fashola, Rotimi Amaechi , Chime, Amosun winning
GOVERNORS Babatunde Fashola of Lagos State, Rotimi Amaechi of Rivers, and Sullivan Chime of Enugu State were in early lead, yesterday, based on results emerging from their states in the nationwide gubernatorial and state constituency elections. Senator Ibikunle Amosun, the Action Congress of Nigeria, ACN gubernatorial candidate was also heading to victory in Ogun State.
The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP was, however, pressing ahead despite stiff challenges in Benue in the elections that were characterized by violence and irregularities.
In Delta State, Governor Emmanuel Uduaghan of the PDP and Chief Great Ogboru, the Democratic Peoples Party, DPP, gubernatorial candidate were running neck and neck in the early results available with Dr Uduaghan having a slight lead. Uduaghan was reportedly leading in the two Isoko local government areas, Sapele and Ethiope West while Ogboru was leading in most of the Central local governenment areas and slightly in Patani Local Government Areas. Results from Warri were yet to come in.
While Ogboru was reported to be leading in Delta Central Senatorial district, the two candidates were in hot pursuit for the votes in Delta North.
PDP was also facing strong challenges in Imo. The PDP was also showing strength in Kano State where its candidate, Dr. Rabiu Kwankwanso, was running neck and neck with the All Nigeria Peoples Party, ANPP's Salihu Sagir Takir last night.
Governor Ibrahim Shema of Katsina State, the PDP's gubernatorial candidate was in a tough battle last night with his Congress for Progressive Change rival, Aminu Bello Masari making early leads in first returns from Katsina Central and Katsina North.
PDP's strong challenge in Lagos
The PDP's strong challenge for Lagos was, however, believed to have lost steam as first results from the voting showed heavy support for the incumbent Action Congress of Nigeria, ACN, candidate, Babatunde Fashola.
PDP's gubernatorial candidate in Lagos, Dr. Ade Dosunmu lost his polling unit, F1 Unit 018 at Tejuosho scoring 75 votes to the 175 scored by Fashola.
The party's malaise was also visible in neighbouring Ogun State where former President Olusegun Obasanjo lost in his polling booth while the ACN's state leader, former Governor Segun Osoba easily pulled victory for his party's candidate, Senator Ibikunle Amosun.
Amosun was heading to victory last night with clear leads in Ogun Central and Ogun East Senatorial districts. He was also reported to be doing very well in Ogun West, the stronghold of his two major rivals in the PDP and Peoples Party of Nigeria, PPN. Olumide Osoba, son of former Governor Osoba was also reported to have won his bid for a seat in the House of Representatives to represent Owode Federal Constituency.
Akala sweeps votes in Ogbomosho
Governor Adebayo Alao-Akala, the PDP gubernatorial candidate was reported to have swept the votes in the Ogbomosho area of Oyo State but trailing in Ibadan area as at press time.
PDP was, however, fighting back in Ondo State with its heavyweights aiming to mitigate recent losses suffered in the National Assembly elections.
While Governor Segun Mimiko ably pulled victory for his Labour Party in his Iodasa Ward 7 unit 20 with 234 votes to 15 scored by the PDP, Senator Bode Olajumoke was able to deliver his ward 6 in Imeri for the PDP. In Ondo State, where there was no gubernatorial election, the Labour Party was reported to have won 25 of the 26 State constituency results declared. The result for Ese Odo was stil. being expected at press time.
The PDP polled 666 votes in Olajumoke's ward 6 to the 352 votes scored for the Labour Party. Defence Minister Tokunbo Kayode was also able to win in Ward 2 Ikaramu in Akoko North West for the PDP.
First results released from a few polling units in Owerri Municipal in Imo State showed good wins for the All Progressive Grand Alliance, APGA. It was learnt that PDP was banking on votes from outside Owerri senatorial zone. Governor Ikedi Ohakim and Speaker of Imo State House of Assembly, Chief Goodluck Opiah, were reported to have won in their polling units.
In Kwara State, prospects of Second Republic Senate Leader, Senator Olusola Saraki positioning his daughter to replace his son as governor of the state were fading as initial reports showed her trailing even in her own polling booth while all other major gubernatorial candidates won the votes in their polling units.
Senator Gbemisola Saraki of the Allied Congress Party of Nigeria, ACPN, was third in her Opobiyi, Agbaji ward. She trailed the PDP which came first and the ACN second.
The gubernatorial candidate for Congress for Progressive Change, CPC, Alhaji Abdulrahaman Abdulrazaq polled 229, followed by PDP 194, then ACPN 74 and ACN 63 at his polling centre in Idi-gba.
Democratic Peoples Party, DPP's gubernatorial candidate, Gbenga Olawepo, easily dominated the voting in his St Paul Anglican polling centre, in Agbamu, Irepodun LGA of the state. He scored 217 votes compared to the 96 scored by the PDP, 40 for ACN and two for CPC.
There was a deviation from the general apathy that characterized the voting across the country in Zamfara State. As late as 8.30 p.m. yesterday voting was still ongoing in several sections of Zamfara State.
In Adamawa State where there was no gubernatorial election, the PDP was reported to have swept the votes in all but two local government areas in the contest for the House of Assembly.
Reports reaching Vanguard last night indicated that Enugu State Governor, Sullivan Chime, swept the polls in the three senatorial zones of the state. In his Enugu West Zone comprising Udi, Ezeagu, Oji River, Awgu and Aninri LGAs, it was a landslide victory for the governor as majority of the voters went for the PDP in demonstration of their determination to retain the governorship seat in the zone.
The people of Enugu North (Nsukka zone) from where two major opponents of the governor, Dr. Dan Shere of People for Democratic Change, PDC, and Chief Okey Ezea of Labour Party, emerged also voted massively for Chime.
Although the two opposition candidates got appreciable votes within their immediate political environment, the PDP was clearly in the lead going by polling booth results declared yesterday.
On the other hand, the Enugu East Zone (Nkanu land) where the leader of PDC and former Governor Chimaroke Nnamani hails also gave Chime large votes.
PDP leaders like Deputy Senate President, Chief Ike Ekweremadu, Chief Jim Nwobodo, Chief Ken Nnamani, Senator Ayogu Eze, the state PDP Chairman, Engr. Vita Abba and a governorship aspirant, Chief Anayo Onwuegbu, all delivered their wards to the ruling party.
Major political appoinJonah Jang voted as his accreditation was delayed because he forgot his voter's card at home. One of his aides had to rush back to his residence to pick the card before he eventually did his accreditation and voted around 12.35.pm.
There were various versions on the cause of the fracas in Nasarawa area. While a version said trouble started when some strange people invaded a polling unit but were resisted by voters in the area, another said a party agent was molested
In Akwa Ibom State, the PDP candidate Chief Godswill Akpabio was understood to have won in 28 of the 31 local government areas where results were collated. His major opponent, Senator Akpan Udoedehe won in Uyo.
Reports from Minna, Niger State, last night also indicated that the state governor, Dr. Babangida Aliyu, was coasting home to victory as most of the results already declared showed that he had majority of the votes cast.
Expression of delight
In Jos, the Plateau State Governor Jonath Jang, expressed delight with the generally peaceful nature of the exercise and commended security agencies for promptly bringing minor security challenges in some parts under control.
The state Deputy Governor, Dame Pauline Tallen who is the Labour Party governorship candidate who voted at the Shendam B ward, was happy with the large turn out of voters which she said was an indication that people were out to effect change.
Similarly, governorship candidate of Action Congress of Nigeria, Mr. Chris Giwa who voted at Kuru in Jos South Local Government Area who noted that voter turn out was bigger than the previous elections said this was indicative of the people's desire to vote a governor of their choice.
Gunmen hijack voting materials
Gunmen hijacked electoral materials at Egwede and Ogbarude in Ndokwa East local government area in Delta State and took them to the bush for thumb-printing.
At polling unit 1, Aliheme in Ika South local government area, it was also reported that thugs snatched ballot materials and took away to a hideout for thumb printing.
Some of those who spoke to Vanguard on the development were shocked that the police could not stop the ballot thieves.
However, the INEC Commissioner, Dr. Gabriel Ada said those who hijacked electoral materials for thumb printing were wasting their time for such votes would not count.
The police recovered three bombs yesterday near the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, offices at Burutu and Ogbe-Ijoh in Delta State.
Vanguard learnt the bombs were planted by militants who wanted to stop the declaration of results from the local governments, considered to be strongholds of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP. Delta state police spokesman, Mr. Charles Muka told Vanguard that policemen also recovered an AK 47 rifle at Sapele.
Two of the bombs were found at Burutu while one was recovered at Ogbe-Ijoh.
In Taraba State low turn especially in urban and semi urban areas of the state yesterday characrterised the governorship and house of Assembly elections while there was a large turn out in rural areas in an exercise that was largely violence free and peaceful.
While in some polling units within Wukari metropolis in the southern part of the state witnessed simultaneous accreditation and voting, prompt report by Vanguard to the chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission halted the practice which is against the Electoral Act.
Turn out in Jalingo, Taraba State was lower than in the two previous elections in what observers blamed on voter fatigue and the outcome of the two elections which were won by the Peoples Democratic Party.
In at least two polling units in Wukari, voting and Accreditation of voters were going on simultaneously in contravention of the Electoral Act which stipulates that voting would commence after 12 o'clock when the accreditation of voters which commenced 8am had been completed.
A member of the NYSC at one of the polling stations where under-aged voting was taking place told Vanguard: "It is not my responsibility to stop anybody whose name is on the register to vote" while a policeman at the polling station merely shrugged his shoulder in a helpless gesture when asked why he did not stop the under aged voters from voting.

The Archbishop of Singapore has written a blistering attack on the LGBTI community, labelling gay lifestyles as 'detrimental to society.'
In a letter dated 19 June, Singaporean Archbishop William Goh said LGBTI people were contrary to religious teachings and their relationships are invalid because they cannot procreate.
'My dear brothers and sisters in Christ,' wrote Goh.
'The LGBT movement is gaining momentum. Some of you are confused and are asking what the Church's position is with regard to the family.
'The Catholic Church has always maintained, and continues to maintain, that the family, comprising a father, mother and children, remains the basic building block of society.
'She recognises that there are individuals who are attracted to people of the same sex. Regardless of their sexual orientation, the Church has always looked on each individual as being a child of God, made in His image and likeness and is therefore worthy of love and respect.
'Discrimination of any kind is thus neither pleasing in the eyes of God, nor that of man.
'However, the Church also believes that when God created man (and woman), He had intended for them to "Be fruitful, multiply, fill the earth and subdue it". (Genesis 1:28) For this reason, although the Church treats each individual, regardless of his/her sexual orientation, with sensitivity and respect for his/her dignity, she upholds the view that LGBT sexual relationships are not in accordance with the plan of God.
'This kind of lifestyle should not be promoted by Catholics as it is detrimental to society, is not helpful to integral human development and contrary to Christian values.
'Thus, whilst the Church urges compassion, acceptance, patient understanding and mutual respect for these individuals, she believes that there are ways to ensure justice and the protection of their dignity without the risk of endangering the future of the marriage institution, family and society.
'She empathizes with those individuals who are struggling to integrate their faith with such orientation and urges them to seek Christian counselling and spiritual support.
'May the Holy Spirit restore them to wholeness, and may He also enlighten our minds and guide us in the path of truth and justice, tempered by compassion.
'Yours devotedly in Christ, Archbishop William Goh.'
This tirade comes as the LGBTI community in Singapore prepares to celebrate one of the biggest dates on their calendar. Pink Dot Singapore takes place on 28 June and promotes equality and the freedom to love.
Yesterday (21 June), a similar homophobic attack came from an Islamic authority in Singapore who are planning to boycott the event.
i don't know what to say to that, except: 1) "LGBT sexual relationships are "not in accordance with the plan of God" - No where in the Bible do we get a DIRECT message from God to say this is my plan... more like we assume, we think... 2) Their relationships are invalid because they can not procreate... pour straight people that are due to medical or other reasons are not procreating either! Does that mean they are not married also? 3) "detrimental to society"! ???? 4) Endangering the future of marriage? - how is my relationship with my partner endangering the marriage of my neighbours three floors up? 5) "May the Holy Spirit restore them to wholeness" - does that mean I am not whole? do I miss a part? Does that make me a lesser-human? A few lines above he says we are ALL children of God... sounds something like my race is better then yours! A few other things: 1) out of 100 marriages 23% percent end up in divorce within the first 5 years in Singapore (Government statistics) - so are those people then not more responsible for the endangerment of the future of marriage? 2) if he wants to stone me to death with his words... here are some for him: the cassock/garments he is wearing is probably made for a cloth made with two different fabrics (check online with clerical garment suppliers) so according to the same Bible (Deuteronomy 22:11) 3) coming from a man who probably never has had a serious committed (even non-sexual) relationship... 4) according to studies 33% of active priests are also active homosexuals - so that would make out of 77 priest (not the ones attached to monasteries or religious orders) - 25 homosexual and active priests?

A group of clean energy advocates continued the drumbeat against Gov. Rick Scott's on Monday and delivered more than 92,000 signatures urging him to develop a strong plan for Florida to meet the requirements of the EPA's Clean Power plan.
The group, called Florida's Clean Future coalition, had school children, college students and parents pull red wagons with boxes of petitions to the governor's office at the state Capitol as part of an aggressive initiative by climate change activists to keep a focus on the issue in the governor's race. The EPA requires the state to have a plan to reduce carbon emissions in place by 2030 and the first deadline is in 2015. The governor has remained silent about his plans to address the issue.
Last week, scientists, business and community leaders called on Scott to listen to their climate change solutions. Meanwhile, NextGen Climate, the political committee founded by California billionaire Tom Steyer to target climate change skeptics, has spent more than $12 million in Florida for a campaign to defeat Scott's re-election bid.

|Common English Bible (CEB)
|New International Version (NIV)
|1 The LORD's word came to me:
|1 The word of the LORD came to me:
|2 Human one, speak to your people and say to them: Suppose I bring a sword against a country, and the people of the land take a certain person from their assembly and make him their lookout.
|2 "Son of man, speak to your countrymen and say to them: 'When I bring the sword against a land, and the people of the land choose one of their men and make him their watchman,
|3 When he sees the sword coming against the land, he blows the trumpet and warns the people.
|3 and he sees the sword coming against the land and blows the trumpet to warn the people,
|4 If they hear the sound of the trumpet but don't heed the warning, when the sword comes and they are taken away, they are responsible for their blood.
|4 then if anyone hears the trumpet but does not take warning and the sword comes and takes his life, his blood will be on his own head.
|5 They heard the sound of the trumpet but didn't heed the warning, so their blood is on them. If they had paid attention to the warning, they would have saved their lives.
|5 Since he heard the sound of the trumpet but did not take warning, his blood will be on his own head. If he had taken warning, he would have saved himself.
|6 If the lookout sees the sword coming but doesn't blow the trumpet to warn the people, when the sword comes and takes away any of them, they are taken away in their sin, but I'll hold the lookout responsible for their blood.
|6 But if the watchman sees the sword coming and does not blow the trumpet to warn the people and the sword comes and takes the life of one of them, that man will be taken away because of his sin, but I will hold the watchman accountable for his blood.'
|7 You, human one, I've made you a lookout for the house of Israel. Whenever you hear me speaking, you must give them warning from me.
|7 "Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel; so hear the word I speak and give them warning from me.
|8 If I pronounce a death sentence on wicked people, and you don't warn them to turn from their way, they will die in their guilt, but I will hold you responsible for their blood.
|8 When I say to the wicked, 'O wicked man, you will surely die,' and you do not speak out to dissuade him from his ways, that wicked man will die for his sin, and I will hold you accountable for his blood.
|9 But suppose you do warn the wicked of their ways so that they might turn from them. If they don't turn from their ways, they will die in their guilt, but you will save your life.
|9 But if you do warn the wicked man to turn from his ways and he does not do so, he will die for his sin, but you will have saved yourself.
|10 You, human one, say to the house of Israel: This is what all of you are saying: "How our transgressions and our sins weigh on us! We waste away because of them. How can we live?"
|10 "Son of man, say to the house of Israel, 'This is what you are saying: "Our offenses and sins weigh us down, and we are wasting away because of them. How then can we live?" '
|11 Say to them, This is what the LORD God says: As surely as I live, do I take pleasure in the death of the wicked? If the wicked turn from their ways, they will live. Turn, completely turn from your wicked ways! Why should you die, house of Israel?
|11 Say to them, 'As surely as I live, declares the Sovereign LORD, I take no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but rather that they turn from their ways and live. Turn! Turn from your evil ways! Why will you die, O house of Israel?'
|12 You, human one, say to your people: The righteousness of the righteous doesn't rescue them when they begin to sin. Nor does the wickedness of the wicked make them stumble if they turn from their wickedness. If the righteous sin, their righteousness won't protect them.
|12 "Therefore, son of man, say to your countrymen, 'The righteousness of the righteous man will not save him when he disobeys, and the wickedness of the wicked man will not cause him to fall when he turns from it. The righteous man, if he sins, will not be allowed to live because of his former righteousness.'
|13 Even if I've told the righteous they will live, none of their righteous deeds will be remembered if they trust in their righteousness and do wrong. They will die because of their evil deeds.
|13 If I tell the righteous man that he will surely live, but then he trusts in his righteousness and does evil, none of the righteous things he has done will be remembered; he will die for the evil he has done.
|14 And even if I have pronounced a death sentence on the wicked, if they turn from sin and do what is just and right—
|14 And if I say to the wicked man, 'You will surely die,' but he then turns away from his sin and does what is just and right--
|15 if they return pledges, make restitution for robbery, and walk in life-giving regulations in order not to sin—they will live and not die.
|15 if he gives back what he took in pledge for a loan, returns what he has stolen, follows the decrees that give life, and does no evil, he will surely live; he will not die.
|16 None of the sins they've committed will be remembered against them. They've done what is just and right, and they will live.
|16 None of the sins he has committed will be remembered against him. He has done what is just and right; he will surely live.
|17 Yet your people say, "My Lord's way doesn't measure up." Isn't it their ways that don't measure up?
|17 "Yet your countrymen say, 'The way of the Lord is not just.' But it is their way that is not just.
|18 When the righteous turn from their righteousness to do wrong, they will die because of it.
|18 If a righteous man turns from his righteousness and does evil, he will die for it.
|19 And when the wicked turn from their wickedness to do what is just and right, it is for that reason they will live.

Laura Lam was raised near San Francisco, California, by two former Haight-Ashbury hippies. Both of them encouraged her to finger-paint to her heart's desire, colour outside of the lines, and consider the library a second home. This led to an overabundance of daydreams.
She relocated to Scotland to be with her husband, whom she met on the internet when he insulted her taste in books. She almost blocked him but is glad she didn't. At times she misses the sunshine.
Pantomime was released February 2013, and was a winner of the Bisexual Award, was a Top Ten Title for the 2014 American Library Association Rainbow List, as well as being nominated for other awards. The sequel, Shadowplay, followed in January 2014. She has also written Vestigial Tales, self-published short stories/novellas set in the same world. Her newest book is a near-future thriller, False Hearts, which will be released in hardback in January 2016 from Tor/Macmillan.
Laura Lam is represented by Juliet Mushens of The Agency Group.

Lisa Marie is an absolute doll. She got my measurements to a "T" and helped me find THE perfect dress. She is the epitome of a fairy godmother. LOVE her. <3
Wedding: 12/31/2012
I went to Luly Yang with zero expectations of finding my dress. I was floored by the wonderful service and was thrilled to find my perfect dress! Could not be happier with the experience!
Wedding: 1/13/2007
My dress was perfect. Like it was made for me. They helped with everything. Wonderful people
Wedding: 12/7/2013
Luly Yang was incredible. I worked with Meg and she helped me find my perfect wedding dress. They have wonderful service, high-quality items and are willing to spend as long with you as necessary while trying on gowns and confirming alterations. They help you create an entire look with accessories (veil, wrap, gloves, jewelry, etc.) and months after my wedding I still receive compliments on my wedding dress.
Wedding: 12/1/2012
Luly Yang Couture created the dress of my dreams! They also created a great custom suit for my husband. Everyone there is so helpful and have such an eye for details. I had a custom mermaid gown, so the smallest of fit details were very important. Luly measured everything from the best placement of the bust points (this is key to make sure your cleavage looks perfectly, appropriately, placed) to how much the skirt would flare out. The fit was perfect and I love my dress so much! When I look at it now, nicely preserved, it reminds me of all the love I felt that day and how beautiful I felt in that dress. Tip for all you brides: Luly Yang Couture does amazing one of a kind, couture gowns better than anyone else in this area of the country, but the boutique also offers gorgeous special order dresses at very reasonable prices. Thank you everyone at Luly Yang Couture!
Wedding: 6/16/2012
I want to start out by first saying that I love, love, love my wedding dress. I actually wasn't planning on purchasing a dress and Luly because I feared it would be out of my price range. However, I found my dress here, and it was reasonably priced. I fell in love with the dress when I first put it on, and I even shed a few tears because it was so beautiful. My consultant was enthusiastic and friendly, and so helpful. After I bought my dress, my consultant was not quite as helpful. I had requested a dress swatch from my consultant via email so I could look for shoes, and she told me to imagine a color wheel and white was in the middle and grey was on the left and yellow was on the right. I was to look for shoes that were more toward the grey side. This was not enough for me to find shoes. She said she would get back to me about the swatch. She never did. When I requested a swatch a few weeks later via a second email, my consultant told me to just stop by with my shoes as my dress had come in. I live about 3 hours from Seattle so this was not practical for me. I called my consultant, and she said that Enzoani was not sending a swatch. She said she would keep trying and get back to me. She never got back to me. I called Enzoani myself (twice), and I was told that they have swatches available for all dresses. They unfortunately only send swatches to stores and not to individual customers. I called Luly three times (and spoke with different staff people each time) over the course of a couple of weeks, and I was assured I would receive a call back. I never did. Upon my 4th call back, I spoke with the staff member I had spoken to upon my first call. He said he would cut a piece of fabric that was an exact match to the color of my dress and put it in the mail. Why hadn't they thought of this in the first place??? It took me 2 about 2 months to get that swatch.
I had two alterations appointments done at Luly, and I met with the same consultant during these times. She was still very friendly and answered any questions I had. Alterations were very expensive (about ¼ of what I paid for the dress). When I went to try the dress on a final time, I noticed that bra cups were not put in the dress. I paid $25 to have them put in. When I mentioned it to my consultant, she quickly peeked inside the dress while I was wearing it, and said, "Oh! They must be sewn inside." She did not take a second look once I took off the dress. I took her word for it (which I shouldn't have), but when I got the dress home, I took a closer look, and it was clear nothing had been sewn on the inside of the dress. I called Luly, and fortunately, my consultant said I could either bring the dress back or receive a refund. I requested a refund, and my consultant followed up to tell me that I should see that refund on my credit card. I appreciated that, and was glad that someone finally followed up with me!
Although I was annoyed at the customer service at Luly, I loved my dress. I received and continue to receive many compliments on my dress. I loved the way it looked on me as the alterations were great, and was so pleased with the outcome.
Wedding: 10/29/2011
This was hands down one of the most wonderful experiences ever! I had a couture gown made for me. Lisa Marie was such a great help and Mae the head seamstress is amazing! From start to finish making a dress from scratch is incredible! Luly is the best around!
Wedding: 10/20/2011
I made an appointment with them, but running late... I called them in advance to let them know but turn out they can't fulfill with my appointment with a 10 mins late from my original appointment. The employee there has a bad service tone when they answered my call. I have a really bad experience with them.
Also, when I tried to rearrange my appointment, lots of days they are closed.
Wedding: 9/2/2010
Since the moment I was engaged, I wanted to get my dress from this unique, fabulous store! The selection of dresses lives up to the shop's amazing window displays. The staff was very helpful and friendly when I was choosing my dress. I tried several dresses and fell in love with a sample, which happened to be the perfect length. I loved my dress! But after we paid, they seemed to lose interest. Once they had our money, the service went from 5 stars to less than 1. We had to call twice to check on the alterations when they said they would contact us. When I went in for my final fitting, the alterations were not done properly. Then they made it sound like they were doing us a favor by not charging us more money to fix the issue. There were other issues, but the bottom line is: I will never return to this shop and I will never recommend it to anyone.
Wedding: 10/1/2005

Beautiful atmosphere, with staff that is knowledgable and treats you like a princess. Unique dresses and accessories that are custom made to your specifications. Loved the dress, and received tons of compliments on it.

A car accident is not the only way that an individual can cause you harm or injury. If you find that you have been injured as a result of someone else's negligence or ill intent, then you should seek out the assistance of a Ft. Lauderdale personal injury attorney to help you get your life back on track as soon as possible. The different practice areas are varied to include attorneys for criminal acts, as well.
The injuries that you sustain from an accident at the negligence of others can include brain and spinal injury, paralysis, whiplash, burns, lacerations, and broken bones. In some cases, wrongful death can also occur, and the help of an attorney is critical. Most of these situations do arise from traffic accidents, but there are other situations where you may be injured as a result of someone else's carelessness. Slippery floors, falling materials, and malfunctioning equipment can all lead to injuries that can take you away from your job and family. A personal injury attorney can also assist you with medical malpractice cases, pharmaceutical cases, and asbestos lawsuits. The medical bills that arise from the injuries can be utterly overwhelming, and an attorney can help you get back on your feet.

Vladimir Putin, Russia's president, has called the Internet a "CIA project" and warned Russians against making Google searches.
Speaking to a group of young journalists during a televised event on Thursday, Putin said the Internet was developed by the US as a "special project" by the Central Intelligence Agency.
When asked about Google, the Russian leader said the company's web traffic "goes through servers that are in the States", adding "everything is monitored there", the AFP news agency reported.
Shares in Russia's biggest search engine, Yandex, fell as Putin expressed concern about its overseas investors, reiterating his fear of foreign control of the Internet.
"We must fight determinedly for our own interests. This process is happening. And we will support it from the government side, of course" he said.
The Kremlin has been anxious to exert greater control over the Internet, which opposition activists, who are barred from national television, have used to promote their ideas and organise protests, the AP news agency reported.
Russia's parliament passed a law earlier this week requiring social media websites to keep their servers in Russia and save all information about their users for six months.
Another new law allowed the government to block blacklisted sites without a court order, and businessmen close to the Russian president now control the country's leading social media network, VKontakte.
Opposition leader Alexei Navalny had his popular blog blocked and a widely read news site that covered opposition causes sacked its long-term editor and changed its stance after a warning on extremism from the state watchdog.
Putin has frequently been scathing about the Internet, which he once described as "half pornography".

November 27, 2011 § Leave a comment
The first issue of Critical Muslim, a quarterly magazine in book form co-edited by Ziauddin Sardar and me, will be in the shops in January. More on that at a later date. Today I'm finishing off a long essay on Syria, Iraq and sectarian hatred for Critical Muslim's third issue. Amongst the books I review in the essay are Fanar Haddad's indispensable "Sectarianism in Iraq" and Nir Rosen's "Aftermath: Following the Bloodshed of America's Wars in the Muslim World," which is also indispensable, in a different way. As a taster, here's the section on "Aftermath."
For a mix of contextual analysis and gripping reportage, the reader will find no better book than Nir Rosen's magisterial "Aftermath: Following the Bloodshed of America's wars in the Muslim World".
Most Western correspondents were flown into Iraq unable to speak Arabic, largely ignorant of the context, to pass their time attending coalition press briefings or embedded with the US military. Their reports were heavy with simplistic labels ('the Sunni triangle', for instance) and ignored non-sectarian nationalism and class issues. Rosen's writing on Iraq is the polar opposite of such parachute journalism. He speaks Arabic for a start, and blends in physically as a result of the "melanin advantage" bequeathed by his Iranian father. More to the point, he is courageous and energetic, going where few outsiders would dare, whatever their skin tone. He's a reporter of the best kind, capable of locating pattern behind the copious detail. So he doesn't merely report the mosque sermons he attended, or his encounters with militiamen and their victims, but accurately interprets and reads between the lines. His descriptions of time, place and personality are vivid, with not an ounce of orientalism added. His lack of sentimentality combined with his obvious sympathy for the people of the region make him the perfect candidate to voyage into the sectarian heart of darkness.
Reporting Syria
November 22, 2011 § 2 Comments
The Syrian regime's blanket ban on journalist access has some carefully selected exceptions. Robert Fisk, for instance, who seems to be compensating for the naive anti-Syrian and pro-March 14th line in his reporting of Lebanon over the last years by treating the statements of Syrian regime figures – professional liar Boutheina Shaaban is one – with great naivety. At least he didn't apply the 'glorious' epithet to her which he used to describe Walid Jumblatt's wife. Fisk's book on Lebanon "Pity the Nation" is a classic, his account of the massacres at Sabra and Shatila remain fresh in the mind (the blood-footed flies clambering over his notebook), and for many years he was one of the very few English-language journalists with some real knowledge of the Middle East. Sadly, his knowledge doesn't extend to a working familiarity with Arabic. In several recent articles he has informed us that that the slogan of the Ba'ath Party – umma arabiya wahda zat risala khalida – means 'the mother of the Arab nation.' In fact it means 'one Arab nation with an eternal message'. Fisk is confusing 'um' – mother – with 'umma' – nation. It's a rather disastrous mistake. Someone ought to tell him about it.
Nir Rosen on Western media fraud in the Middle East
May 19, 2011 § 3 Comments
Journalist and author Nir Rosen writes the following in an article for Al Jazeera about the myriad obstacles to the dissemination of truth in Western reporting on the Middle East:
Relying on a translator means you can only talk to one person at a time and you miss all the background noise. It means you have to depend on somebody from a certain social class, or sect, or political position, to filter and mediate the country for you. Maybe they are Sunni and have limited contacts outside their community. Maybe they are a Christian from east Beirut and know little about the Shia of south Lebanon or the Sunnis of the north. Maybe they're urban and disdainful of those who are rural. In Iraq, maybe they are a middle class Shia from Baghdad or a former doctor or engineer who looks down upon the poor urban class who make up the Sadrists. And so in May 2003, when I was the first American journalist to interview Muqtada Sadr, my bureau chief at Time magazine was angry at me for wasting my time and sending it on to the editors in New York without asking him, because Muqtada was unimportant, lacking credentials. But in Iraq, social movements, street movements, militias, those with power on the ground, have been much more important than those in the establishment or politicians in the green zone, and it is events in the red zone which have shaped things.
America's Wars in the Muslim World
February 16, 2011 § 1 Comment
Nir Rosen is the finest frontline reporter the US has produced in decades. He has just resigned from his position at the New York University after he came under fire from Israel lobby attack-dog Jeffrey Goldberg for making light of the recent attacks on CBS propagandist Lara Logan (comments for which he has since apologized). Following is a talk he gave recently at LSE about his new book Aftermath. (Also, don't miss Ali Gharib's excellent profile on Rosen.)

His comments largely focused on the Iraq war, especially regarding an in-depth analysis of the Iraqi civil war going back to 2003. He spoke in year-by-year detail about the civil war between Sunni and Shia militias, the Iraqi police and army and the American military caught in the middle.

(Updates with finance minister comments starting in second paragraph.)
Sept. 28 (Bloomberg) -- The European debt crisis, which threatens to push the global economy into recession, poses a challenge for the South African government's attempt to boost growth and create jobs, Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan said.
South Africa is trying to balance fiscal credibility and efforts to grow the economy, Gordhan told reporters today in the capital, Pretoria, after returning from meetings of the International Monetary Fund and World Bank in Washington. The country's February budget called for "growth-friendly" fiscal restraint, he said.
Global markets tumbled last week as concern mounted that the debt crisis in Europe may spread beyond Greece and derail a global recovery. South Africa's economy expanded at the slowest pace in almost two years in the second quarter, as manufacturing and mining output plunged. Governments in Europe, which buys about a third of South Africa's manufactured goods, are slashing budgets to ease the debt crisis. Gordhan will announce new fiscal forecasts in a mid-term budget statement on Oct. 25.
Growth in Africa's biggest economy slowed to an annualized 1.3 percent in the second quarter, according to the statistics agency. The government estimates it needs growth of 7 percent a year over the next decade to slash the jobless rate to 14 percent from 25.7 percent.
"The normal recoveries aren't happening," Gordhan said. "Given the abnormalities and tumultuousness, how do you manage fiscal credibility and how do you ensure your economy grows. That's the mix some countries aren't getting right."
Worst Week
A depreciation in the value of the rand, if sustained, will add to inflation, Gordhan said. Policymakers are "scratching our heads" on how to deal with the rand's decline, he said. Labor unions and the government have previously said the currency's strength hurt exporters.
The rand had the worst weekly decline since October 2008 last week, falling to as low at 8.6165 against the dollar before paring losses. It is 15 percent weaker this year, the worst performing of the 16 major currencies tracked by Bloomberg. The rand strengthened 0.6 percent to 7.8165 by 3:35 p.m. in Johannesburg.
A depreciation in emerging-market currencies represent an "overshoot" and may ease as risk appetite improves, Gill Marcus, the governor of South Africa's central bank, said in an opinion article published in Johannesburg-based Financial Mail today. The global economy is in a "danger zone," she said.

I spend a lot of time thinking about
Global warming, lunch, or your next vacation… it's all fair game.
My past and how to better my future.
On a typical Friday night I am
Netflix and takeout, or getting your party on — how do you let loose?
Shopping or working, taking care of family.

Help me find my company
With a shared ownership property you can buy a part of your home (typically between 25 per cent and 75 per cent of the full value), which you'll pay back in the form of a shared ownership mortgage. You then pay an affordable rent on the remaining part. This part-buy part-rent scheme works out to be more affordable than buying a home on the open market. Interested in buying a share of a brand new home?
Visit the Guinness Homes website for available properties.
If you already live in one of our shared ownership homes, we can help you to buy a bigger share of your home, until eventually you own it all. This is called 'stair-casing'.
If you are interested in buying more of your home visit the Home Owners section for more information.

You can practice Kungfu, naked, in the dark.

Butterfly-Accent Slim Belt
Average Customer Rating:
(8 out of 10)
I chose the teal option (#11 down below) and it is very cute! It's a really bright color, pretty close to the color shown, and adds a nice pop to my outfits. However it also has a plastic-like shine to it and I was under the impression that it was going to look like dyed leather. That aside, great product!
