Targeted Strategies for Tough Times
While many financial service providers nationwide have faltered because of the economy, these local organizations continue to thrive
A Holistic Approach
Mike Rampey, vice president of private banking and wealth management at Johnson Bank, has seen a major change in consumers' outlook on debt in recent years. "Individuals have gone from thinking some debt is acceptable to being more strategic about how to live with less debt and strive toward being debt-free," he says.
"A few years ago people used their homes and investments as a fallback rather than having an emergency fund," he says. "After 2008, we saw people adjust this approach because their assets' value was abating and they didn't have emergency funds. Now they're actively paying down debts likehigh-rate credit cards and starting to save."
Rampey and his team are meeting with clients more frequently. "They want to make sure their overall financial picture is as it should be," he explains. "We're assessing their retirement funds, investments, insurance, long-term care and disability needs. We're looking at these areas to provide peace of mind were something unexpected to happen, as well as to establish a foundation to build on for their futures."
Five years ago, many people were accustomed to paying down debt with extra income from their investment portfolios. "That was when returns were over ten percent, but now it's completely different," Rampey says. "Now with returns much lower, debt payment has to happen differently."
If clients had planned to use their investment portfolios to pay for retirement or their children's educations, they're now concerned that lower returns or even losses might make it impossible. "They're asking how they can manage their portfolios differently and still accomplish those goals," says Rampey.
Since they can't rely on large appreciation in their portfolios, many clients have scaled back their investments to protect principal. "They're reassessing their risk profiles to make sure they can meet their needs, and moving into FDIC-insured accounts like money market or savings accounts."
Johnson Bank is a privately held, family-owned company that takes a holistic approach to clients and their financial lives. "We measure success by generations rather than quarterly profits," says Rampey. "We take a relationship-oriented approach to each client and build the relationship over time. Every client has different needs and aspirations."
Consistent Underwriting Practices
First Business Bank predominately serves small businesses, and Mark Meloy, president and CEO, is seeing the effects of uncertainty in the marketplace. "Entrepreneurs are unsure how their costs of doing business, their tax burdens, the regulatory environment, and federal and state budget deficits will evolve," he says.
"So not as many businesses are focused on expansion or acquisition of fixed assets," Meloy continues. "We have to bring some certainty and stability about expectations for the future. I really believe that's what's behind the Fed saying in an unprecedented way that they expect to keep interest rates low for the next several years."
His bank offers a full range of loan and deposit services. "We're unique because we've segmented the business banking market, targeting mostly companies that do business-to-business sales," he says.
These include manufacturers, wholesalers, distributers and some service companies. "We do have some businesses that sell to consumers; we have great clients in that category as well," Meloy qualifies.
He says small businesses' demand for loans has fallen because of the uncertain environment and because many have seen significant revenue decreases. Some have suffered harm to their creditworthiness. And increased regulatory scrutiny has led some banks to tighten underwriting criteria.
But First Business Bank has been consistent in its underwriting practices over the years. "That's been very important to our success," says Meloy. "In boom times, lenders, investors and businesspeople tend to be more aggressive. It's hard to make a mistake in boom times, but with the issues the challenging economy pose, certain banks are taking a more conservative approach to lending."
The deposit side is strong as well at First Business Bank. "Depositors look for three things: the highest possible yield, accessibility, and safety and soundness," says Meloy.
The nature of risk and reward in economics means depositors can have two of these three important factors, but not all three. "If they want high yields, they have to make long-term deposits and won't have accessibility," Meloy explains. "If they want safety and soundness, they'll go for a money market or a checking account with lower yields. It's part of the time value of money."
The FDIC now insures deposits up to $250,000, and depositors can title their accounts so as to maximize coverage. "For example, a couple could have two accounts, one under each name, with two different Social Security numbers, and they can get $500,000 of coverage," says Meloy. "Or they could each have an additional account in our Milwaukee bank—which has a different charter—and have those deposits covered up to $250,000 each."
A friendly, Small-Town Mentality
Andy Burish, managing director at UBS Financial Services Inc., is also seeing more risk aversion in clients. "People are still in shock from the financial crisis three years ago and are very sensitive to risk," he says. "In the last decade we went through two major bear markets; it was the worst decade for equity markets since 1861."
Most people aren't abandoning the stock market, but they're more conservative. "Today, roughly fifty percent of Americans have some stake in the market, but they want more predictable cash flow and less volatility, which gives you lower returns," says Burish. "People used to expect double-digit returns, but they've lowered their expectations; they're happy with five percent or six percent."
His organization, the Burish Group, helps individuals and businesses manage their wealth based on developing custom financial strategies to reflect their needs. "We explore areas including: What are their goals? Have they accumulated enough wealth to meet them? Are they still accumulating enough? When can they retire?" Burish says.
"We have almost thirty years of experience and we've been through five bear and bull market cycles," says Burish. "We've been investing internationally for twenty years, and our parent company has hundreds of offices globally. We're truly global investors."
Almost everybody in the Burish Group comes from small towns. "I came from Wausau. We have that small-town, friendly mentality," Burish says. "It gives us a little different perspective on how we treat people."
He and his family are very active in the community, which also helps Burish and his wife Anna, a strategic advisor for the group, stay in touch with the needs of consumers and businesses. Both Burishes are the first in their families to graduate from college. They've endowed a scholarship at UW– Whitewater for first-generation students who want to become teachers and will teach in urban schools, as well as a scholarship at UW–Eau Claire for first-generation students studying nursing.

text: A 20-year-old New Ulm man has been charged with multiple counts of burglary, as well as theft and criminal damage to property, for a pair of break-ins in Essig late last year. Michael J. Lindberg is accused of breaking into AMPM Livestock in Essig in December and stealing a desktop safe. There was also a break-in at the restaurant Carl's Corner, although nothing was taken. Lindberg reportedly admitted to the crimes after his DNA was found on a pair of sunglasses that had been left on the desk the livestock company safe had been on. A duffle bag had been left at Carl's Corner as well, and both pieces of evidence were sent to the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension. Lindberg allegedly told police that he and a friend committed the crimes because they had a bag drug habit and needed money.

There's no real change here for ZFS, and it's unlikely that anything at the memory cache level even knows about the copy-on-write-ness of ZFS (or even cares).

Re:Checksumming != no data corruption (Score:1, Informative)by Anonymous Coward on Monday December 18, 2006 @10:43AM (#17286538)Umm , last time I looked checksumming merely told you if there WAS data corruption , it doesn't prevent it.
If you have a mirror (RAID 1), you have two copies of the data. When a process requests a read, it gets a copy of the data and does a checksum. If the checksum fails ZFS is smart enough to know that since there's a mirror there's a second copy of the data. It then goes to the second copy and checksums that. If it passes the data is passed to the process, and the bad data is updated with the good data. If the second copy fails its checksum then ZFS returns an error to the process and you've lost your data (which is no worse then what most file systems do today since they don't have checksumming).
If your data is on a ZFS RAIDZ volume (~ RAID 5), then if the checksum fails you can rebuild the data from the parity information.
Most (all?) file systems available today don't have built-in checksumming, so you when request/get data you actually don't know if it's valid. You simply assume that everything from the read from the disk is okay.
by multipartmixed (163409) on Monday December 18, 2006 @10:44AM (#17286548) HomepageRight.
Similar issues exist without problems when mmap()ing files from NFS. You cannot update just a few bytes with NFS, you have to write the whole disk block out.
I'm fairly confident that the current "standard" way to implement mmap at the moment is to update the pages, mark them dirty, and let the VM subsystem write them to disk.
I haven't had to look at mmap's implementation in a long time, though.. but IIRC Rich Teer and/or Adrian Crocroft had good articles about it a few years back.
Obviously, I arrive at this problem space with a huge Solaris influence. But this is a well-understood problem, and I don't think Sun's implementation is particularly revolutionary.

That does not happen too often on a laptop (or a desktop, for that matter), but I've had Windows (and on rare occasions, even Linux) work horribly under such load. ZFS' "worst case behaviour" is supposed to be significantly better than any other system in use today.
NTFS's ACL system is horrible. While it has a lot of descriptive power, it's a pain to manage, the result being that it is almost never used. The old Unix model, while simple, is easy to manage, and as a result is often set up reasonably. Novell's "Trustees" model works much better than either, but for some reason it wasn't adopted by others.
NTFS is slow and inefficient, fragments horribly, and lacks fundamental features such as proper symlinks (and only supports directory hardlinks). It has a reasonable journal implementation, and it supported large files before other systems did, but it's very outdated and does not compare favourably with any of the modern high performance file systems.

HFS+ will work very well and be very easy to manage.

For example, 3 750's could be divided into 1 TB unmirrored storage, 250 GB mirrored, a temp area of up to 100GB and the rest (650+ GB depending on temp are usage) held in reserve. In addition ZFS does quite a bit of error checking on the data to avoid any possible corruption during reads. However, it will never replace HFS+ on an iMac for your average user.
Re:Reason to support ZFS... (Score:3, Informative)I doubt Apple is going to require ZFS for Time Machine anytime soon. I fully expect HFS+ to continue to be the default file system for Mac OS X for a while (years). I believe ZFS support in Mac OS X is solely for the high-end / server space of the customer spectrum.

ZFS is relatively new (in comparison to most of the commonly used file systems). It isn't really "done" yet by any means.
Re:copy-on-write (Score:2, Informative)by Anonymous Coward on Monday December 18, 2006 @01:06PM (#17289050)Er.. a copy of the modified data is saved to a new location, as opposed to overwriting the original data, which is exactly what happens with COW memory pages in VMM's too. Sounds more like NetApp just like using a slightly different term to make them sound different
ZFS currently wouldn't work very well for flash storage systems under a certain size because of initial overhead. ZFS requires each device to be at least 64 MB in order to be added to a pool. Also the minimal overhead of ZFS is 32 MB. In other words if you take a 64 MB disk, format it to ZFS, you'll only have 32 MB of space available. As you add devices to the pool, this overhead grows, but at a pretty small rate.
Re:Reasons to support? Servers (Score:4, Informative)Hard drives silently losing data is a problem solved by RAID.
That is profoundly wrong. Vanilla RAID will not discover and cannot automatically correct silent data loss. The reason is that RAID has no way of knowing which data is correct. For example, if two mirrored copies disagree on the contents of a block, the data is unrecoverable without manual intervention or external knowledge. Furthermore, in normal operation your RAID subsystem will simply read data from whichever drive is idle at the time the read request comes in; it does not ordinarily compare the two mirrors. The data will remain corrupted until the user notices a problem, at which point they have no practical recourse. Essentially the same problem occurs with parity RAID.
There is no dedicated hardware in your system that provides the end to end data integrity that ZFS does. I honestly suggest you learn more about it before airing your opinions. Here is a start:
_data [sun.com]
by profplump (309017) <email@example.com> on Monday December 18, 2006 @01:39PM (#17289572)If two mirrored copies disagree on the contents of a block, the data is unrecoverable without manual intervention or external knowledge.
Or, you know, a checksum. Or more than one level of redundancy.
I agree that RAID-1 cannot, by itself, correctly recover from error-free reads of mis-matched data. But RAID 5 and 6 are both capable of verifying the primary data source against the parity data and transparently correcting errors that occur on less than the critical number of disks. In the common configuration this is only done when a hardware-level error is detected to keep things fast, but it's quite possible to verify every read if so your system is so configured. Mutli-layer RAID also provides this same sort of protection.
[ZFS] will be implemented for Linux pretty quickly.
*sigh*. I wish. ZFS is being implemented on FUSE. This automatically creates limitations in performance and function (no root ZFS). IMO ZFS on FUSE will be a no starter in production.
I don't think we'll see ZFS in the kernel proper either, given the history of incorporating XFS and ReiserFS 4. Along the same lines, DTRACE will probably never make it in. It's being cloned in the form of Systemtap.
Meanwhile, FreeBSD has been porting ZFS and DTRACE. MacOSX is (partly) based on FreeBSD and DTRACE has shown up in MacOSX.
I agree that ZFS is a good reason to convert a file server to Solaris from Linux. FreeBSD may become a good candidate also. I'm a Solaris admin and haven't done much with FreeBSD so I'll lean that way. I'd love to see ZFS in the Linux kernel, but I'm not waiting for it.
Perhaps the way to go is Solaris x86 with ZFS file server then a BrandZ zone running Linux to provide other functions?
Re:...so how does one define "capacity" therein? (Score:4, Informative)does some funky heuristic happen?
Yes, I used something similar to ZFS for mass document storage a few years back. You do a complex checksum on the block level. Any two blocks with the same sum are the same. Each unique block is only stored once, though multiple files might link to it. You're right the file system doesn't know why you are using the same blocks over and over, but it doesn't care.
if i've got a bunch of files that take up 700mb on a ZFS device and try to back up to a (Joliet) CD will i get a message telling me that the CD doesnt have room?
Assuming you have repetitive block, yes.
There's a LOT more to ZFS than snapshots... (Score:5, Informative)
Over past months, I've read a lot of people commenting on ZFS who have no idea what it is. What it is, is the next generation of filesystems, not a "tweak" of current fs technology. It just happens to "look like" an ordinary POSIX fs, from a distance (if you ignore the administration/pool stuff...) But inside, it's something new under the Sun, folks.
RAID experts don't grok it, because it does things RAID can't do (end-to-end).
Devotees of ext2fs, reiserfs (yay!), NTFS (LOL!), or HFS+ don't grok it, because none of those filesystems do what ZFS does.
Read about it before you write it off as old wine in a new bottle. To ask the question, "Does OS X need a new filesystem?" is a perfect example of missing the point. Once you've looked at what ZFS really brings to the table, you'll see why it's an inevitable future, sooner or later, and you'll stop looking foolish.

Hi, Today I drew back a Bear Motive 6 and an Agenda 6, how does the mamba m6 compare ? No dealers close, I think the Agenda had a smoother draw over the Motive. Thanks
interested too...
guess the lack of replies does not bode well for the comparison of draw cycles.
I have a M6 I would not say it's really smooth. But it does shoot fast and flat.
They do some kind of a trial deal. Looks like you have to pay upfront, try it for 5 days, don't like it send it back.
I have not drawn the Bear bows that you mentioned but have the M6. It draws smooth in my opinion but it is a firm draw due to it being a speed bow. It does seem to dump a little quicker into the valley at the back end than I would like but I've not had the chance to try and tune that out of it somewhat yet. It draws very similar to a Mathews Chill'R in my opinion but is a little bit faster.
I did do the test drive for 5 days and tried other bows seemed smooth to me ( not brand loyalty, shot recurve all my life, 40 years. Had back surgery, can't hold the weight anymore) the extra features sold me ! (no bow press, bow hanger, customer service). I now own a mamba m6 and loving it!
I own a Nano, fast, flat, and single cam, no press needed, Great Wall, looks cool too.
I will have one in a couple weeks ill do a nice review i have owned a lot of bows including a insanity so we shall see

Okay, I volunteered to make a wedding shower cake for my friend's future daughter in laws shower. I would love to make it look like a gift box cake with the lid propped against the side of the cake. I don't want to make it out of cake but rather gumpaste. Any suggestions? I have never done that type of thing before so any help would be appreciated. Also, for the actual box, I want it to have a lip. DO you think I should precut the sides in panels and then apply to the cake or should I just wrap in fondant and add my tissue paper and roses to the top of that? Help, please.

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- The list of the Most Powerful Celebrities was published again by Forbes, and Her Majesty Oprah Winfrey was toppled from her throne. Oprah dropped all the way down to fourth place, with annual earnings of $82 million.
Very few celebrities in the world make more money than she does.
4 Summer Steps to Personal Wealth (Including Starting That Business)
Yahoo!'s Alibaba Cash Could Trigger a Buying Binge in Tech5 Biggest Amusement Park Chains of Summer 2014 If you exclude Beyonce, who sits atop the list for the first time, as well as LeBron James and Dr. Dre, you end up with the following: All numbers are in millions. Sorted by awesomeness. This list is not exclusively about money. Other equally important factors are considered including how many times each celebrity was mentioned in print, on TV and on the radio between June 1, 2013, and June 1, 2014. Twelve socials networks were also measured including Facebook (FB), Twitter (TWTR), Google's (GOOGL) YouTube and Orkut and Sina Weibo (WB) The new Queen of the World is Beyonce, aka Mrs. (Jay-Z) Carter, only 32 years old and with earnings of $115 million. The Miami Heat's LeBron James is in second place with earnings of $72 million, followed by Dr. Dre, currently in third place with earnings of $620 million after selling his venture Beats Electronics to Apple (AAPL) for $3 billion in cash and shares. If Dr. Dre holds all his recently acquired Apple shares for a few decades, he will graduate to a far more important list and he may one day have a fortune as large as Charles Schwab. Is it time to sell your shares in Oprah Winfrey and buy shares in Beyonce instead? Let's find out. I can only hope that one day in the near future Oprah will decide to share 10% of her $3 billion estimated fortune with the rest of us by filing an initial public offering with the stock symbol HARPO. Until that day comes, you can only buy shares in Discovery Communications (DISCA), which currently holds 50% of the Oprah Winfrey Network and reaches the U.S., Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, South Africa, Poland, Russia, Bulgaria and Romania. The company makes more money than Dish Network (DISH), which launched the Oprah Winfrey Network in 2011 and is not growing as fast as before now that everybody wants to watch television on a tablet, phone and notebook.

Roodmas (from Old English 'rood' rod, cross, and 'mas', mass),[1] held on May 3, was the celebration of the Feast of the Cross observed in some Christian churches and rites, particularly the historical Gallican Rite of the Catholic Church. It commemorates the finding by Saint Helena of the True Cross in Jerusalem in 355. The feast originally commemorated the dedication of the Basilica of the Resurrection and was linked with the finding of the cross shortly after.
Helena was reported to have found the True Cross on May 3, 355. However, most Catholic and Eastern Orthodox rites celebrate the Feast of the Cross on September 14, commemorating the day in 628 that the piece of the cross taken by the Persian Empire was recovered by the Byzantine Emperor Heraclius. After the Gallican and Latin Rites were combined, the days were observed individually as the Finding of the Holy Cross (May 3) and the Triumph of the Cross (September 14). Some Protestant churches followed this practice; the Church of England's Book of Common Prayer places Roodmas on May 3. However, the celebrations were combined into one feast by Pope John XXIII in 1960, and since then the Catholic Church uses only the September 14 date. The Church of England followed suit with the adoption of the Common Worship liturgy in 2000.

Energy In (Food) and Energy Out (Exercise)
At the request of LostinAusten, Determined Gemini, and myself, this thread is for accountability of food intake and exercise, only. All other dialogues should be in the other MediWeightLoss threads.
So far today I've eaten:
B - 4 oz roasted turkey "dipped" into 1 Tbsp of low fat cream cheese w chives
L - 3/4 c. cottage cheese and black pepper
D - 3 oz chicken that I have marinated in curry/chicken broth/onions
Haven't yet exercised but considering the recumbant bike while watching "The Bachelor," so I'll post that later.
Monday 2/15
B - Protein Shake (EAS Chocolate)
L - 3oz chicken breast w/ mushroom, egg whites, spinach (Lunch out at the Cheesecake Factory)
D - 3oz chicken breast stuffed with laughing cow and spinach
S -100 cal cheese stick
S - Laughing cow and celery
This thread will be great because we'll get meal planning ideas! Thanks for starting it.
Im In!!
Okay, im in... I'll post too. God knows I need the accountability.
B: Egg Whites (4), Can. Bacon (1), & Coffee = 160 P, 25 Misc
L: Talapia (2) & Coffee = 160 P, 50 Misc.
D: Chicken (4oz) = 140 P
S: Beef Jerky & Coffee = 135 P, 25 Misc
Exercise: None (unless you count walking a 10 month old baby around the house, because she says she wants to walk and not crawl and yet you have to hold her hand every second for fear that she might gash her head open on some furniture exercise)? She had me bent over and walking around for about 20 minutes. So if I burned 50 calories doing that so be it! LOL!
Tuesday - 2/16
B - EAS Chocolate Shake -110c, 4carbs
L - 2c spinach salad with, 3oz Chicken, 1 laughing cow - 160c, 6carbs
D - 3oz Pork chop with green pepper and onion wrapped in 1 slice of bacon - about 150c, 1carb
S - cheese stick, 60c, 1 carb
I may have another snack here in a bit, I haven't decided if I'm hungry or just bored.
My Tuesday
B: Protein Shake (106), Coffee (50)
L: Grilled Chicken Breast 5oz (175)
S: Cahews (330), Coffee (50)
D: Grilled Pork Chops 4oz (220)
S: Coffee (25)
Totals: 501 Protein, 455 Misc. (Too many Cashews)
Exercise: None (officially)
Unofficially - walked a little girl around for another 20 minutes and cleaned house for 1 hour which includes laundry (wash, dry, fold, put away), vacuum, and kitchen clean up. I think walking up the stairs about a bazillion times counts too! :rolleyes:
Ash Wednesday
B: Egg Whites (70), Coffee (50)
L: Pollock Fish (200)
S: Cashews (330) - Damn things are addicting, Coffee (45)
D: Salmon (110), Coffee (25)

Notes: Must. Stop. Eating. Cashews. :annoyed:
Exercise: Officially - None.
Unofficially - 1.5 hours grocery shopping and pushing around a heavy cart full of food. :laugh:
I have decided to cut my coffee intake to one cup a day. That is my sacrifice during the lent season. It will be hard for me to give up and in the long run, I know it will do me good. Maybe I should give up cashews too... hmmm. Done. As of now (since I already snacked on some) I give up cashews for lent. :p

Track Name: Say Something Embarrassing
I could use something going for me these days, because no one seems to want to talk about anything that's happening, or that's happened lately. We don't have to talk. I can sit around in silence and I can listen to anything you want to say. I can't hold a grudge, at least not the way I used to. And this hurts me, can't help but think that it might hurt you too. I don't want to sit around much longer. I don't want to wait around for things to keep get worse and I hope you know, you're still my best friend. I hope you know how much I love you. I guess that I could stand to say it more. I'm not the friend that you deserve. I'm not sure how to put this all into words, but I guess I'll try. I hope you know that it's all true- that I'm sorry, I didn't mean it, and I miss you.
Track Name: Kogan Fountain
Sweat stains my shirt, a plague of reasons keeps on telling me that I should go home. It's another pair of eyes I try to shake. They'll never see my heart as it's beating. I know you're there, and it's not fair, these imaginary lines between us. The fountain's cold. My clothes are soaked. Just another DC night between us.
Late once again. Four years seem to pass so quickly. You're dead and gone and I've been wondering where it was I went wrong.
I close my eyes. Hate what I find. Can't seem to get this right.
Track Name: The Kid's Just Not A Pirate
Honestly honesty never meant much to me through the teeth of a liar. You made your bed, lie down dead. This feeling gets hard to shake. Don't you ever get tired?
I know you better than that, well as a matter of fact I've seen you at your worst. I'll turn you into another angry song. Feel free to sing along- it's what you always do. Man I told you, you got to let this go, this stupid image this show you're putting on. Why do you walk away from what you want to say on who you really are?
This is getting hard to take. I keep expecting you to break. You keep getting back up. How much more can you handle? Can't you see that you're tangled up in the lies that you tell. Your mother must be so proud.
Track Name: All We Do Is Talk
Well I've been here before. She smelled like cigarettes, passed out face down on my floor. I know she tried to make things right but sometimes you can't fix things this broke. I took the long way around. Trying hard not to get caught, I fought the urge to make a sound. The words were on my tongue but they all sounded so wrong, so I slipped back into silence, put them back where they came from. I wish that I could say something like, "Hey I hope there's no hard feelings." But If I'm anything like you, I know exactly how you're feeling.
Is happiness really this hard? Because I've been chasing it around before it gets too fucking far for me to catch. You're detached, I hope she's getting along. I never really wanted anyone to need me after all. I'm a post, she's a vine. She grew herself around my spine. She had to see this coming. It was just a matter of time. I've been trying something new, I separate myself from you and hope that we both end up alright in time.
I don't want my past to ruin what I have with you. I don't want to let you down.

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.

Enlightened Investment
I often worked with women who had come from environments of cultural shunning if they were promoted to management positions. I was promoted to management over them simply because I was white and willing. I had no community to challenge me, as I had left my society and family of origin to seek a better future for myself and my children, a daughter and a son.
In the deep south of the 1980s, divorced white women were assumed to be superior only to people who were of dark skin, called "Negroes" or "Niggers". I was faced with carrying out many decisions about which I disagreed. I was asked to fire people who looked gay and those who looked ill from AIDS. I was discouraged from supporting the wage rights of those who didn't understand how to read their pay stubs. I regret that I quit these jobs in frustration and shame that I wasn't obeying my masters, never realizing that I was a possible advocate and catalyst for change.
I would love to be part of an initiative to create micro loans for those with well organized plans for sustainable opportunities for women and others who are held down simply because of their genders, creeds, or colors. This model of investment would not be based on offerings, but on loans to those with successful track records of following through with their ideas and efforts at building community.
I have benefited from scholarships and investments by several husbands. i have received these partly because of my appearance and my ready wit. These are gifts for which I did nothing. I would like to share the fruits of my good fortune.

Re: The Impossible Girl: Who IS Clara Oswin Oswald?!?
I think it's going to be something more vague and storytale. They talked about the universe owing the Doctor in this episode. I think it's just going to be that after all the tragedies the Doctor has suffered, the universe (not a specific entity) is finally throwing him a bone and giving him a Kenny. Anytime one dies, he can just pick up a replacement with the same personality from a different time period.

During the Kundang Camp level, you will eventually end up chasing Sadono underground. Your CO will advise you that they will no longer be able to communicate with you while you are underground, due to interference from copper. However, if you get caught by a guard or an alarm is sounded, your CO will be able come over your earpiece saying that you need to watch the alarms.
