Louisiana teachers brace for revamped job reviews
Louisiana's 60,000 public school teachers are about to face their first job evaluations under a new review system that continues to spark controversy and questions.
The overhaul stems from a 2010 law pushed by Gov. Bobby Jindal. It is supposed to improve teacher quality, in part by linking annual job reviews to student performance.
Classroom observations by principals and others, which have been used for years, have also been revamped.
The Advocate reports now teachers will face two-part job reviews that are causing some nervousness.
The heart of the new system will apply to about 20,000 of the state's teachers in math, English and other subjects that are subject to objective tests.
The other half of the review will be based on the classroom observations.

Tag Archives: photography
One of my great pleasures at the moment is observing, photographing and finding out more about, the wildflowers where I live. I'm surrounded by lots of different kinds of environments – hedgerow, water, woodland, heath, mountain – and these are full of so many wonderful flora, some of which I had never noticed or knew the names of until recently. Just opposite our house is a path that forms part of the West Highland Way. This path is lined with an old wall, and growing around and through this wall, some foxgloves have recently been putting on a spectacular show. I decided I had to take some photographs of them yesterday.
I think I am starting to understand the allure of botanical drawing. Sadly, I cannot draw for toffee, but I am certainly enjoying capturing the detail of my local flora with my camera.
In other news:
I had great fun reading the animal names in the comments to the previous post! After excluding those who couldn't enter, the randomly selected winners of the Toft party tickets are Pootle the cat and Iris the hawk . . . ahem . . . I mean Lucy and Janine. Congratulations! Could you please email me at firstname.lastname@example.com to arrange your prize?
I have more posts to come from Iceland, but today I wanted to briefly mention one of those interesting cross-connections which are one of the many reasons I enjoy writing this blog. During a trip to Shetland in September, 2012, I took this photograph of a boat moored near Norwick beach in Unst. I later included the photo in this blog post, where it was seen by Oxfordshire artist, Jim Kelso. Jim then contacted me to ask if he might produce a painting based on my photograph; I happily agreed, and his painting, Tenebrae, is below.
Tenebrae recently sold, and by way of thanks, Jim has now made a donation in my name to Chest Heart, and Stroke, Scotland. You may remember that it was this charity that funded the home-support of a dedicated stroke nurse for me after I left hospital. The work they do in the community is really important, but often overlooked, and I am always happy to support them in whatever way I can.
Congratulations on your painting, Jim!
I am home! I sort of knew I would like Iceland, but I was not prepared to be totally blown away. Due to my annoying health issues, we did not quite accomplish everything we'd set out to, but we met some lovely people, learned much more about Icelandic wool and textiles, and gained a taste of a truly incredible landscape and culture that makes me immediately want to return. I think I might have to do just that. I'm processing my photographs and will show you more very soon!
out walking
One of the very great pleasures of living here is that the West Highland Way is on our doorstep. I walk out of our steading, and about a hundred yards up the way is a glorious landscape, at the far edges of which (on a really clear day) Ben Lomond and the Trossachs and the Arrochar Alps are all visible. I walk here every day, and enjoy these walks tremendously. Today I took my camera so you can see it too.
hot shots
We have just returned from a photoshoot. It is a very hot day and Tom couldn't stop taking photographs of Bruce's monumental panting tongue. (Don't worry, he was supplied with plenty of water). In between the hot dog shots, he was photographing my new pattern – a cardigan, which is due for release toward the end of the month. I am very pleased with this design, and couldn't resist showing you a couple of outtakes from the shoot.
This will be the first of three designs, all inspired by my favourite Edinburgh places. More soon!
backward . . . and forward
2012 was really a pretty good year. Here are some highlights.
Work-related trips to some wonderful places . . .

Shetland again!
My first time as a Woolfest trader.
My sister, Martin Curtis and me, meeting Sophie, Countess of Wessex (note: Helen is wearing a Manu and knitting a Betty Mouat Cowl, I am wearing a Deco and knitting a puffin sweater, and Sophie is looking at a copy of Knit Real Shetland).
Travelling with Tom and Bruce to our favourite Hebridean spots . . .
. . . and swimming in the sea!
Working with my favourite folk . . .
. . .to make a book!
But if you asked me what was my biggest achievement in 2012, then I would say . . .
. . . learning to ride a trike, and inspiring a few other people with brain injuries, balance issues and similar disabilities to give it a go as well. In 2013, I intend to try moving things up a gear, and am about to begin learning to drive again. My aim is to be pootling about in our van by June. If I say it here, then it has to happen!!
Most of all:
I am so grateful to all of you for stopping by here, for continuing to read this blog, for leaving so many lovely comments, and for supporting me in all sorts of ways in 2012.
THANKYOU, ALL OF YOU! x
I'll be back shortly with a couple of related posts about my favourite books and yarns of 2012. . . .
In the meantime:
My pal Jen is having a New Year pattern sale. This includes a 3 for 2 deal on some of her super newly-available designs (I particularly like the Porlock socks with their gansey-inspired stitch patterns and personalised lettering) and 25% off the lovely Cloudy Apples accessories collection. Pop over to Jen's blog to find out more.
And finally, if you are knocking about Pittenweem this Saturday and fancy meeting me and the samples from Colours of Shetland, then pop down to The Woolly Brew between 12-2pm. I'll be signing books, too, if you'd like a copy.

"My husband has been getting good proposals from this industry. There are few people who have approached him and want both of us together in a film," Sunny told IANS. "He would love to be in a Bollywood movie and it's just an idea, which he is considering and might take it forward. He is open to it. It will be fun to see both of us together," she added.
Daniel and Sunny are very much in love with each other. Also, Daniel is the one who approves all her scripts. Daniel too had earlier worked in a few adult movies. But now, both are business partners.

We lost our best Cayuga drake yesterday to some kind of animal. I'm trying to figure out what did it, and the following description is a bit gruesome, but maybe it'll help solve the mystery.
I keep the birds in a very secure coop at night and let them run within our fenced property during the day. We returned home at 2:00 in the afternoon to find our dog (who has always been very good with the ducks) standing over the dead bird. Of course it's easy to assume he did it, but the wounds don't seem to indicate a dog. The skin on the bird's throat was gone with his esophagus and muscles exposed, but not badly mangled. Same thing for the side of his head - feathers, skin, and eyeball missing, bone exposed, but no obvious teeth marks. There was another place on the side of his head around the beak - it's like he was skinned in a few places. I read that raccoons may do this, but would they attack in broad daylight with dogs nearby? The ducks spend a lot of time in a creek, in the woods. Except for where he was "skinned", he didn't seem to be missing any feathers. I'd like to think this was a raccoon or mink rather than the dog, but has anyone lost a bird to wild animals in broad daylight? What would a dog-kill look like? Thanks |

Bird of prey, possibly a hawk josh |
Unfortunately I've had alot of experience with our dog killing drakes. I would shut the dog in the garage and let the poultry out to range. But DH let the dog out... and a couple other times it happened. The dog goes for the drakes, making me think it's an odor thing. The description of your drake is like what some of mine looked like. I would suspect the dog did it. Racoons are night creatures. Would the dog let another creature or other dog around his territory without putting up a fuss? I doubt a small animal would come close to where a dog is. Our dog wasn't a poultry killer until a little kid came to visit while I was gone, went into the poultry pen and started chasing all my geese and ducks. Dog got excited -- and has killed ever since. Now my poultry are sentenced to their pen because confining the dog doesn't work and I'm tired of dead drakes. Anyway, I don't think you should rule out the dog unless you see the other culprit in action. |

I have had raccoon trouble in the past....only at night or at least dusk.... my chickens and ducks are locked up at night but once when we were a bit late locking them, we found a coon attacking a chicken who was late going to roost.... what he did to that bird was far more gruesome than anything you described.... I keep this article handy to help ID anything that causes a menace around here...read below for link.... it pretty much sounds like your dog is guilty.... dogs usually hunt for sport and do not remove parts, just maul them... hope the article helps... |

Dogs mangle and maul, they dont skin thier prey. A bird of prey skins its prey unless it is small enough to swallow, which in this case it was not. Hawks , eagles, and falcons hunt during the day. Game as large as a Duck would be struck, killed with talons, leaving puctures, then skinned. Now before we hang the dog, figure he might have tried defending its masters territory and chased off said raptor. Joshua Crissen |
I agree. I keep a flock of chickens, and one morning the man across the road from us, who had a big retriever he let roam came looking for me, to offer me money and an apology. Seems he found a dead roo with rigor mortis at his dog's feet and just assumed his animal attacked it. Bless his heart, I'll give him a gold star for integrity.....but no way did his poor dog kill that roo. All it was to that dog was a football with feathers his instinct taught him to retrieve. I keep my flock penned or in their coop and if one did get out, the racoons usually get them straightaway. |

"Billy" vs. God: Swedes Trust IKEA More than the Church
What do Volvo, Ericsson, Saab and IKEA have in common? The people of Sweden have more faith in them than in the church.
An IKEA store in Sweden: People trust the furniture maker more than the church.
According to the poll, taken by the business weekly Dagens Industri, 80 percent of Swedes said they had "much or very much trust" in the world's largest furniture store chain, which was founded by Ingvar Kamprad. But only 46 percent of the 800 people surveyed said they trusted the Swedish church, which counts 80 percent of the 9 million residents living in Sweden as members.
IKEA isn't the only company Swedes trust more than the church -- the list also includes Volvo (69 percent), Ericsson (59), Saab (57) and pharmaceutical giant Astra Zeneca (47) as well as four other companies that beat out the church on the trust factor. Indeed, the church landed in slot 14, behind Sweden's public television station, its universities, small business, the central bank and the daily paper Dagens Nyheter.
There was, however, some positive news for the church: It got better marks than the conservative party of Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt (30 percent). And it fared better than foreign companies like Coca-Cola, which only 22 percent of Swedes said they trusted.

Paragliding School
We offer beginning and advanced training in paragliding. Instruction at TPG follows the syllabus established by the United States Hang Gliding and Paragliding Association.
P1: Beginner Paraglider Pilot Rating - $1,095.00
All students begin with the P1 package unless they are already rated P1 or greater from another school. The P1 Package includes beginning ground and flight training at the Torrey Pines Gliderport. It includes usage of school grounds and school equipment, a new Icom IC-V8 5.5 meter radio, a radio harness, The Art of Paragliding or Paragliding: The Pilot's Training Manual text book, and the official USHPA logbook. After about 3-4days of ground handling, and 2-3 days of flight training, the student should be prepared to move on to the P2 training. The P1 rating is for instructional purposes only. There are no P1 flying sites in the U.S. Thus, to be considered a rated pilot and fly the P2-P3 sites solo the student needs to earn more advanced ratings.
P2: Novice Paraglider Pilot Rating - $1,175.00
Most students enroll in the TPG Paragliding school with their goal being the P2 Rating. This is because the student is finally considered a licensed pilot when he/she earns their P2 Rating and can fly all P2 rated sites solo. The P2 package includes training through the USHPA P2 proficiency list, 25 solo flights while on radio with the instructor, instructional tandem flights, and an USHPA "Novice Certification" Rating sign-off. By the time the student is about finished in the P2 program they should be prepared to buy their own gear. The instructors at TPG are more than happy to assist students with this major decision. TPG stocks new and used paragliders, new and used harnesses, new reserve chutes, and is a dealer for many major brands of Paragliders. (Paratech, Ozone, Independence, Skywalk) Please check out our online store to take a look at the gear we carry or come visit us or call us at 858-452-9858.
Save $ 200: Enroll for your P1 and P2 together
Sign up for both the P1 and P2 courses at once and save $ 200. Tuition includes everything in the two course packages: gear rentals for the period of their training, a brand new icom radio, a radio harness, a logbook, and our school book.
P3: Intermediate Paraglider Pilot Rating - $1,195.00
This advanced intermediate training program is conducted at Torrey Pines Gliderport school grounds and at other local mountain sites. The P3 package includes training through 100 solo flights under radio instruction, 25 solo hours of airtime, while working through the P3 Proficiency list as established by the USHPA. Please note: a P3 rating or higher is required if you wish to fly at Torrey Pines Gliderport unsupervised. Once a students has earned their P3, they are welcome to sign-up for an annual membership at the Gliderport, or just come by to fly on an ad hoc basis. More information on Gliderport membership and use is available in the Gliderport section on the home page.
Save $ 200: Enroll in your P3 early
For students who are currently enrolled in the P2 courses at Torrey Pines Gliderport, the P3 course is only $ 895! Students must sign-up for their P3 course PRIOR to completing their P2 training. And good news: this discount can be used with the P1+P2 package discount.
All students work towards their certification at their own pace. We do have class-style instruction on the weekend mornings, usually from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM. These classes are required to obtain your rating sign-off at TPG. Students are encouraged to spend as much of the day as possible at Torrey. They are responsible for updating their flight log, and for sitting down and reviewing their syllabus with the instructors.
You will be flying solo while enrolled in the P1 and P2 programs below. All of these flights will be under radio contact with one of the instructors. Of course you don't initially start with the flying. Students begin with ground control, kiting their wing to learn wing control and to develop muscle memory.
Additionally, instructors take students to local mountain sites almost weekly. Instruction at differing sites in a variety of different conditions, in addition to flying the coastal ridge at Torrey Pine, is key in learning to be a safe and competent paraglider pilot.
Students learning at Torrey are required to buy their gear through us. We take pride in being the major importer for most major paragliding manufacturers on the market, and even for most of the minor ones as well! We always work hard in getting our students the best deal on the market, and we always spend some time reviewing appropriate glider size, brand, performance, cost, safety, and more with every one of our students. That way, the student finds the wing that is perfect for them in all aspects at their current level.
Generally, it costs approximately $5,000 for a complete brand new paragliding setup. This includes helmet, harness, reserve chute, and paraglider. The prices vary occasionlly due to fluctuation between euro/dollar conversion rates.
Torrey often stocks used gear (all inspected). Used gear at Torrey usually runs for about half to 3/4 of a brand new setup. Inquire with an instructor about what used gear we have, and if they would be appropriate for you.

I have a near new couch that is a good quality leather, and somehow something, I know not what, go on to two cushions. It is just on the seam bead, and at first looked like a leather failure, i.e., like I could see the rough, like the top finished surface had failed. It has a "splash" look.
I have no idea what it is, I'm almost sure it wasn't delivered that way. I tried to clean off with soap and water, even used the rough side of a kitchen sponge, didn't even "dent" the area. Then I carefully tried a cloth dampened with "goof off" or whatever the stuff is called that's supposed to even remove dry latex paint. Didn't do anything. Tried "Goop" hand cleaner, the stuff that mechanics use to clean greasy hands. It didn't work either. I'd like to try paint thinner, turpentine, or the like. Suggestions, warnings welcome. |

You might try a product designed to clean and treat leather. Try an auto parts store as they might sell something put on leather car seats which would also work for furniture. Or you might try Bed, Bath & BEyond as they do have some cleaning supplies. You want a good quality product. I treat my leather chair about once a year with leather cleaner. I would not continue to try different products as you might I know how you feel about nearly new furniture when it gets damaged. The cat just clawed the back of my new sofa. Nothin' in a bottle is going to fix that. Good luck. |
socks12345 Thanks, my problem with buying a quality leather cleaner is the problem is not "dirt". I have no idea what it is, but it appears to be a splatter of something that hit right between two cushions. It landed right on the "bead" that holds to top/bottom/sides together. It isn't real obvious, in fact I think it has been there for a few days and wasn't noticed. In fact when I saw it couldn't just be wiped off with a damp sponge, I thought maybe it was delivered that way, a factory problem. It looks like I could even take some dark brown shoe polish and with a "Q" tip paint over it. In fact it looks a little bit like a scuff through the leather topcoat and dye, but looking with a magnifying I think I can see the problem is on top off, not under, the adjacent topcoat. But, it would be better to somehow clean it off. I did see on a search of this forum a discussion on getting finger nail polish off of leather, and the advice was to use a non-acetone nail polish remover. So, my solvent idea. Guess I could test a small area on the back side with a solvent to see what it does to the leather/color/finish. |

Hy people,
My name is Jason and I have a 95' crown victoria. I'm tired of the anemic power of my stock SOHC, and would to upgrade to a chevy smallblock, If any one has done the conversion, any advice would be helpfull, and If anybody else would like to put in their two cents, it will also be appreciated.  Keep on roddin [ November 02, 2002: Message edited by: Jay396 ]

it ain't out of the car yet, at this point, it is purely hypothetical, I've got to get some loot together to make it happen, but if you want, when I do, I'll post it for sale.
if i were you id contact procharger and get a complete kit for the vic. you can add about 85% for just under 3 grand, this will put you in the 350 Hp range, if you want more you can put a nitrous bottle in the trunk and be knocking on 500 whenever you need to kick some import, or chevy butt.
try this link: http://www.crownvicmuscle.com/galler...x.php?car=jeff he´s running email@example.com in the quarter running a used vortec supercharger he picked up for 1300. so stick with the ford powerplant. remember there are prople running 9.s with supercharged 4.6 sohc´s in the mustang crowd.

Deuce has the right idea, putting a sbc in the Vic will probably run you around 3 grand or more just to get it in there and running. Dan
"When I was younger, I could remember anything, whether it had happened or not." - Mark Twain |
I've thought about forced induction, and about using old 302 hardware, I just can't make up my mind. My 4.6 does have a few ticks, kinda' sounds like a collapsed lifter, and I'm afraid to crack open that engine. I can get a new one for about 700 bucks, so I'm waiting to see if the motor will frag itself. I think I may reconsider, the supercharger sounds like a good idea, maybe I can get one used or something, anyway I thought that it might be something different in the sea of the same. I know that I can build a good running smallblock chevy with L31 heads, pumpgas friendly compression, and a fair bumpstick and make close to 400 ponies, and all that without the added complexity of a supercharger. I'm going to check out the quick crownvic and talk to that guy and see about the does and dont's. thx for the advice everybody.
[quote] I thought that it might be something different in the sea of the same.

A sbc in a Ford is 'the sea of the same'. Now drop a balllls to the walls 302 in there instead of that 4.6 and that's cool.

On April 30th, in honor of Preservation Week, the Smithsonian Libraries hosted an "Ask Me Anything" (AMA) question and answer session with our book conservator, Katie Wagner. The conversation primarily took place on our Tumblr page, from 12-2pm. Katie answered about 30 questions, related mostly to book care and treatment, the Libraries and our collections and careers in conservation.
This post was written by Vanessa Haight Smith, head of Preservation Services. When repairing older books, the Smithsonian Libraries conservators occasionally uncover evidence of recycling by the original bookbinders. Paper from damaged and discarded volumes was frequently used when binding new books. Why use a new, clean sheet of paper when a leftover scrap would work just as well?
Each year archives, libraries, museums, and arts and historic preservation organizations set aside May 1 to participate in MayDay, an initiative created by Heritage Preservation to protect cultural heritage from disasters. Organizations are encouraged to do one thing for emergency preparedness. This year, the Libraries would like to share with you the content of our Emergency Response Kits.
This year, The Smithsonian Libraries (SIL) was given a monetary award by the Smithsonian Collections Care and Preservation Fund (CCPF) to re-house 558 folio volumes of special materials collections housed at the Cooper-Hewitt National Design Library (CHMDL).

The new "goal standard" of estate planning
A deceased client can't comment on how his remaining personal property should be transferred. Is it any wonder then that the pre-death writing of a client's post-mortem wealth transfer desires is called a "will"? Curiously, the modern tax-based will has very little, if any, language discussing the client's personal desires. The lack of personalized dispositive-purpose language in trusts and wills may be more intentional than we realize. A leading estate-planning attorney suggests that "deciding who gets the client's property is far too important to be left up to clients."1 However, when the Tax Relief Act of 20102 allowed for the elective avoidance of death taxes, the non-tax intentions of 2010 decedents became very important. Important enough for at least one state to enact legislation to allow courts to look outside the testamentary document to find the client's real dispositive intent, even if it contradicted the plain words of the tax formula.3 Minimally, a statement of intent (SOI) is a good idea. At its best, a settlor's SOI within the dispositive document could serve as a material purpose that prevents the intentional termination or modification of a long-term trust by spendthrift beneficiaries.4 The SOI as a personalized declaration of the settlor's purpose helps protect drafting attorneys, beneficiaries, trustees and even the courts against unreasonable interpretations of trust provisions.
The truth is, clients rarely articulate an overall personal goal for any portion of their testamentary wealth transfers, and, if they do, it usually doesn't appear within the estate-planning documents. An SOI can't eliminate the need for legally tested dispositive and administrative language. But, surely, a document entitled "Last Will and Testament" is an appropriate place for a bit of personal testimony.
What an SOI Isn't
An SOI may be a new term for many in the estate-planning community, so it's critical to have a clear definition. Perhaps the easiest way to define an SOI is to state what it isn't:
1. An ethical (spiritual) will;
2. A precatory statement for discretionary trust distributions; or
3. A family mission statement or family constitution.
Ethical Will
An ethical will expresses and transmits the personal values of the writer. It's not a legal document at all (despite its name). In many ways, it's simply a letter about life to be applied after death. Commentators seem to agree that the first ethical (spiritual) wills were created in ancient Israel.5 Some reference the Jewish patriarch Jacob as providing the first recorded instance of an ethical will.6 Perhaps a more germane example of an ancient ethical will is King David's "death bed" admonitions:
These are the last words of David.
'When one rules over people in Righteousness,
when he rules in the fear of God,
he is like the light of morning at sunrise
on a cloudless morning,
like the brightness after the rain
that brings grass from the earth'.7
Note the elements of an ethical will found in this short statement. King David sums up his personal history as a ruling monarch in the form of an admonition to his descendants as to how to rule. He then adds the positive consequence of these ethics by stating that those who display these qualities will be as awesome as a cloudless sunrise and as productive as bright sunlight on rain-drenched grass. The last words of David also make it clear why ethical wills have been referred to as "spiritual wills."
While the application of an ethical will to the thoughts and actions of descendants is compellingly important, it may be very difficult to apply these ethical statements to wealth transfer. Ethical wills are about transcendent goals and spiritual values; wealth transfer is about practical goals and material values.
Another example of an ethical will comes from President Obama's letter to his two daughters as he moved to the White House:
[Your Grandmother] helped me understand that America is great not because it is perfect but because it can always be made better—and that the unfinished work of perfecting our union falls to each of us. It's a charge we pass on to our children, coming closer with each new generation to what we know America should be.
I hope both of you will take up that work, righting the wrongs that you see and working to give others the chances you've had.8
The Internet is full of other examples of ethical wills.9 They're as interesting as the ancient epitaphs on gravestones, but they're not necessarily effective in explaining wealth transfer intentions. And, even if they were, the executor, personal representative or trustee couldn't consider them because they're intentionally separated from the dispositive testamentary documents.
Precatory Language
Precatory language is the nonbinding words of instruction that typically are attached to trust provisions as a further explanation of a trust direction. Classic precatory language is found in provisions within a family bypass trust that state as follows: "the trustee may, but is not required to, consider the income of the beneficiary from sources outside the trust in making a discretionary payment." The words "may, but is not required to" make the statement precatory. Unfortunately, after reading this phrase, the trustee has no better understanding of the grantor's intent. Should the trustee consider outside income to make the trust assets the funds of last resort, or ignore outside income to make the trust assets the funds of first resort? An SOI would give the "why" of the nonbinding instruction.
A trust document could have a very short SOI related to a specific trustee duty. For instance, the phrase "it is my desire to support my wife with the luxuries and comforts that I would provide if I were still living" technically qualifies as an SOI. However, I suggest a much broader and more personalized declaration of grantor purpose—one that will be a reference point for all precatory language and provide context for all other provisions of a wealth transfer document.
Mission Statement
A mission statement is a description of organizational purpose. When properly done, the mission statement can be used to guide the decisions of the organization as it acts through its various constituent members. A generic example of a mission statement that applies to all of us is the preamble to the U.S. Constitution:
We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.
Often, family mission statements are used to form a family constitution that governs the workings of the family as a unit.
An SOI is about purpose, but not the purpose of a group or organization. It's about the grantor's purpose for the wealth transfer. A mission statement is useful for the profit-making activity of a business, because it differentiates the business from its competitors. In a family-operated business, a mission statement is an important and useful guide to defining the impact of family relationships on this profit-making activity. Mission statements are also a helpful tool for family governance in the context of businesses or family-owned assets. However, wealth transfer isn't about governance.
For wealth transfer purposes, the mission statement will work only if the client's wealth is regarded as the family's wealth. James E. Hughes Jr., in his comprehensive treatise on family wealth transfer, Family: The Compact Among Generations,10 assumes that the current wealth of the grantor parents is implicitly the "family" wealth of their descendants. Hughes Jr., and many commentators like him, assume a "family-owned model" for post-mortem wealth. The mission statement and family constitution (or the "compact among generations") would be an ideal vehicle to codify the post-mortem goals of the family as a group of wealth beneficiaries.
A different opinion on wealth transfer views the current title holder, rather than the family group, as the wealth owner. Under this view, the primary determinant of wealth transfer isn't the wealth owner's family, but the individual wealth owner.11 A grantor's SOI is the better solution for purposing wealth transfer under this individual ownership view.
Finally, a family mission statement requires a family that agrees on a mission. An SOI simply requires a wealth owner with a clear purpose for transferring wealth. A professional advisor will have enough difficulty assessing and codifying the wealth owner's transfer intentions. It's exponentially more difficult to assess the future intentions of a constantly changing family group. In reality, the SOI is generally much simpler and more useful to drafting attorneys, trust administrators, personal representatives and courts.
Defining Expectations
The individual owner view of wealth allows us to use the client's current financial management process as a paradigm for wealth transfer planning. For example, when a client gives up current consumption to save or invest money, there's always an explicit or implicit reason for that decision. Values are often nothing more than the priority of preferences. And the preference to save and invest will often uncover very important client values.
Sometimes the reason for accumulating wealth is so ingrained in an individual's value system that he thinks he has no independent reason for saving. However, at the core level, there's a personal preference that reveals a personal value. Is the saving for unforeseeable personal emergencies, or is it to maintain control over something or someone? Is it for some personal aspirational desire? Or, is it to help educate family members? For a professional money manager to properly invest a client's savings, he must have an answer to the "why-are-you-saving-this?" question. The same is true in wealth transfer, except the question is, "why are you transferring this?"
Once you discern the "why," you can establish appropriate investment goals. These goals will then inform the portfolio management process. The answer to the "why are your transferring this?" question is the SOI. With that in place, it's possible to create a wealth transfer document that properly accounts for wealth transfer timing and transfer tax minimization. Successful wealth transfer is simply fulfilling the grantor expectations with optimal tax efficiency.
Defining the grantor's expectations isn't that easy. Virtually any investment manager will opine that a key problem in investment management is unrealistic client expectations. The same can be true in wealth transfer planning. At least one commentator notes that clients' underlying estate-planning intentions are often so difficult to determine or implement that the drafting attorney defaults to a form document that essentially substitutes the attorney's professional judgment and prior experience for those of the client.12
A provision substituted by an advisor may not be the best response to an unreasonable wealth transfer goal. A better solution may be to change the conversation entirely, and use the client's personal history, as well as the advisor's professional experience, to uncover an achievable wealth transfer goal. Wealth transfer should be in furtherance of the client's previously expressed values. However, contemplating and defining personal values is a difficult task for many wealth owners. "People don't really know what their true values are. They talk about their aspired values, purported values, or what they may consider to be politically correct values, but they don't really know what their actual values are."13
Three Minimum Requirements
With the client's values properly profiled, it's possible to draft a written SOI. The goal of the SOI is to provide insight into the grantor's overarching philosophy of wealth transfer. The SOI should use goal-based language that clearly establishes the grantor's material purpose for the trust. It should be intentionally designed to give the attorneys, accountants, beneficiaries, fiduciaries, money managers and the courts guidance on the wealth owner's purpose for the wealth transfer, because the grantor's death, by itself, gives no meaning to a wealth transfer. An SOI provides that meaning.
Here are three minimum requirements for an effective SOI. It should:
1. Demonstrate a unique intention of the grantor that's tied to personal history, values or perspectives. The test is whether the information expressed in the writing couldn't be known without specifically asking the grantor. Therefore, a generalized statement—"I want my descendants to be productive citizens"—wouldn't be an effective indicator of intention, because the statement could be attributed to any parent. However, the statement that "as an immigrant to the United States, it is essential that my descendants demonstrate a continuing commitment to taking advantage of the myriad of opportunities for personal and professional achievement offered by this country's freedoms" would be more effective.
2. Clearly articulate a direct tie between the grantor's unique personal intentions and the creation of the specific trust in question. The words "this trust is for the benefit of my descendants" wouldn't be optimal. However a sentence that says "this trust is specifically designed to serve as a financial catalyst for the personal and professional achievement of my descendants" would tie in much better to the intentions expressed in the preceding paragraph.
3. Give some indication of the grantor's opinion on modification or termination of the trust by the beneficiaries, trustees or courts. A statement that the trust should be terminated "when it is no longer economically prudent to continue it" is boilerplate. A more useful sentence would be: "The drive for personal fulfillment and achievement never ends and therefore this trust should be maintained to augment and support such efforts of the beneficiaries and should not be modified to serve an alternative purpose since I have provided other funds for those purposes."
"Sample SOI," this page, includes these three minimum requirements.
SOI Examples
Although traditional estate planning has been built around form clauses and sample language, an SOI, by definition, has no boilerplate. Each wealth owner's life story and wealth transfer goals are slightly different. However, it's still helpful to see actual examples of SOIs. For instance, one accomplished estate-planning attorney used an SOI to communicate why wealth transfers weren't to be distributed to generations beyond grandchildren:
I have with full knowledge and intent not provided for the generation of my great-grandchildren and future remote descendants. I have not provided for them not out of a lack of affection or concern for their welfare but because I have certain charitable objectives that I wish to fulfill and because I feel a deeper responsibility and obligation to provide for my children and grandchildren as reflected in this trust document.14
A sample trust created by noted authors Jon J. Gallo, Dr. Eileen Gallo and Dr. James Grubman includes another example of an SOI:15
To my descendants and their Trustees, both living and those to be conceived and born in the future:
On the most basic level, the purpose of this trust is to further the pursuit of happiness by my descendants. I use the phrase the pursuit of happiness in the same way as our Founding Fathers used it in the Declaration of Independence. Neither they nor I were or are talking about acquiring more material goods or taking longer vacations but rather the sense of self-sufficiency that is derived from becoming self-reliant and financially sound, having a sense of emotional, social, and mental competence and giving back to the community.
The money in this trust will help make things more convenient for my descendants but it cannot make them happy. I believe that the family's money, including the money in this trust, should be viewed as a tool to support the growth of the family's real capital, which consists of the family members and their knowledge achieved through life experience and education. This is why I believe that travel, involvement in philanthropy and education to one's maximum potential are so important.
This sample SOI is the first paragraph of a trust that provides discretionary trust provisions for travel and education. There's also precatory language that encourages generosity to beneficiaries and to charity. Overall, including such an SOI within a dispositive document should make it significantly easier for the trustee and the beneficiaries to manage expectations, as well as distributions.
Continuing the Conversation
The conversation of wealth transfer isn't about death or tax minimization. It's essentially about the extension of the benefits and detriments of wealth to someone other than its current owner. Intuitively, every human being knows that the lasting joy of personal fulfillment isn't directly related to wealth. Equally inherent to each of us is the notion that transfers of wealth can give some measure of personal satisfaction, even if the wealth transfer is deferred until after death. Avoiding death and taxes can't be the real goals of a client's wealth transfer intentions. Instead, the wealth transfer (material) purpose identified in the SOI often is the real goal. If this is true, then an accurate SOI may be the most important provision ever drafted for an estate-planning client.

In Genesis, Chapter 49, when the Patriarch Jacob was dying, he brought his 12 sons together, and on his deathbed he told them stories, predicted their futures and imparted to each one of them the lessons he had learned during his lifetime. In the Jewish religion, ethical wills were an oral tradition; written ethical wills are said to date back to the 20th century, when it was a custom to give written directions for the religious and secular guidance of children.

The sample wasn't labeled as an SOI by its authors. However, the use of an overarching purpose for the trust is the reason it's such an excellent example of a statement of wealth transfer intent. Note the authors are advocating for a financial skills trust that's innovative and worthy of additional study. The inherent limitation of the trust is that it implicitly focuses the beneficiaries on personal financial behavior instead of personal achievement behavior.

Oct. 19 (Bloomberg) -- South Africa should maintain government spending and keep monetary policy loose to avoid an economic slump, said Antoinette Sayeh, director of the International Monetary Fund's African department.
Sub-Saharan Africa's biggest economy, like some other emerging nations, is expanding by less than its potential as the debt crisis in Europe weakens export demand and lowers investment, Sayeh said in an interview today in the Kenyan capital, Nairobi.
"South Africa and other middle-income countries are likely to be significantly affected by a euro crisis," she said. "We're saying to those countries, that are not growing at the level they could grow and where there are no financing constraints, that they should indeed maintain that same stance of larger fiscal deficits and potentially monetary policy that is more lax, in order to mitigate the impact of that crisis on their economy."
South Africa's central bank left its benchmark lending rate at a 30-year-low of 5.5 percent on Sept. 22 and said the Monetary Policy Committee was "ready to act" if the economic crisis in the U.S. and Europe threatens to derail growth.
South Africa's economy is expected to expand 3.4 percent this year and 3.6 percent in 2012, compared with a sub-Saharan average of 5.25 percent and 5.75 percent, respectively, the IMF forecast in its Regional Economic Outlook published today.

Christopher Heine | January 5, 2012 | Comments
Mobile ad network reported $69.1 million in revenue during the first nine months of 2011.
Mobile advertising network Millennial Media today filed for an IPO, underscoring the emergence of increased marketing to on-the-go consumers.
According to its filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, Millennial reported $69.1 million in revenue during the first nine months of 2011, an increase of 137 percent over the same period in 2010. It had a net loss of $417,000 during the first nine months of 2011.
If the Baltimore, MD-based company's Q4 earnings are consistent with the earlier quarters, it would be on track to record $93 million in revenue for the entire year. Brand clients like Porsche, Patagonia, Jeep, Fox Home Entertainment, Benjamin Moore, and Samsung have helped Millennial achieve the staggering growth.
Millennial sells ads on mobile websites and apps. Its biggest competitors include Google, Apple, and InMobi.
With a company focused on mobile ad sales hitting Wall Street, it's another sign that digital marketing is growing up rapidly. In October, Google CEO Larry Page said his company's mobile revenues would hit $2.5 billion by the end of 2012. During September, InMobi picked up a $200 million round of funding from Softbank.
Millennial opened an office in the U.K. in 2010 and started operating in Singapore during late 2011; the company said it plans to further expand its international operations. It had 190 employees as of Sept. 30, 2011.

grandMA Takes On "American Gladiators"
There's a grandMA behind the scenes as NBC revives "American Gladiators" for a new generation of TV viewers. The grandMA is controlling almost 200 VARI*LITE VL2500 moving lights and some 1500 LEDs for the strength and endurance competition. The show, which originally premiered in 1989, made its midseason debut in January 2008 with Hulk Hogan and Laila Ali hosting. A.C.T Lighting is the exclusive distributor of the grandMA in North America.
"For the new version of the show the producers wanted a spectacular, immense arena feel," notes lighting director William McLachlan. "Scenically the space is so large, it covers a huge footprint. So we needed a substantial rig just to cover the area let alone create a signature look."
In crafting the signature look, McLachlan and lighting designer Oscar Dominguez wanted to "use video as a way to move, breathe color and bring intensity across rig. We wanted to use the rig to explore and design the space and treat the light plot like a canvas. So the grandMA was a natural choice to turn the changes in the rig into colors on a canvas and create a really different feel of movement and color."
McLachlan and Dominguez worked hard give each event in the competition its own environment. "Scenically they were all so different," McLachlan observes. "We really had an opportunity to carve out a large surrounding look, animate it and bring it to life." The producers asked us to use lighting to accentuate the participants' wins and losses.
"The show is just enormous, it's really hard to imagine," notes master programmer Benny Kirkham. "With about 1500 LED fixtures, it's like a very big rock 'n roll concert. Look in any corner of the building and you see 200-250 lights."
With such a massive amount of LEDs and effects lighting, using the grandMA offered "a huge advantage," Kirkham reports. "A lot of things I was working with had to have adjustments on the fly. But the editing capabilities of the grandMA are superior in a quick and foolproof way. Its applications for controlling groups of light are great, and having remote focus was great for the lights I was controlling."
McLachlan notes, "we really rely on the desk's bitmap feature for the LED portion of 'American Gladiators,' and we're very happy with it. We're really impressed with all the things the grandMA can bring to the table. It's a very viable solution for large TV shows, and it fills some very specific needs."
Kirkham agrees. "The grandMA is a very versatile board; you can use it for any type of show, small or large. It's very scalable and very flexible for different styles and approaches to lighting. It doesn't hem you in to one kind of programming."
"We have a lot of respect for Oscar's body of work. His knows what he wants to see, and it is very satisfying to provide him with a console that helps him fulfill his vision. Additionally, Willy McLachlan is also an experienced pro, and his close collaboration with super programmer, Benny Kirkham, and their reliance on the advanced and unique features of the grandMA helps validate our vision for this console," comments A.C.T Lighting President and CEO Bob Gordon.

Arizona law makes landlords tell tenants of foreclosures
PHOENIX -- Renters no longer have to worry about being surprised when their home is repossessed by a bank now that a new law requiring landlords to give them notice has been signed.
Gov. Jan Brewer signed the tenant notice bill late last week amid a flurry of action on laws passed by the legislature in the session that ended June 14.
House Bill 2281 amends the Arizona Residential Landlord and Tenant Act to require owners to provide written notice to tenants within five business days of receiving a notice of trustee's sale. The law previously only required notice if a provision was in the lease.
Republican Rep. Steve Smith of Maricopa said he sponsored the bill after renters complained they were tossed out by banks without notice.

This is my first time ever potting up from the seedling tray. I always kept them in the trays until May and put them outside. This time, one month in, I have potted up to solo cups. I instantly feel overwhelmed. Obviously, the solo cups take up a lot more room. The grow light I had was not adequate for the trays - now the grow light will barely hit 50% of these cups. I have a huge south facing window which will help. How do I water these? I cut a big hole in the bottom for bottom watering, but I don't have anything to catch the water. I'm concerned that top watering will not go deep enough, and if I water it too much from the top to get it deep, the plant will turn yellow. If I need to bottom water, I will need to put the cups in something, but I don't know if I have enough room. I read a thread on here about nesting cups, but people say that isn't ideal, either. Just. Really. Overwhelmed. |

Stop...take a deep breathe , and relax. You're obviously doing fine so far. Potting up is a good thing. Personally, I poke 3 or 4 holes in the bottom of solo cups. I water from the top until water runs out the bottom. Then I'm set for at least a week. Lather, rinse, repeat. It's easy as that. Good Luck! Tim |
A large rimmed cookie sheet would work, or a large old broiler pan. Years ago I bought a tough plastic oil drip pan (in a Walmart automotive dept) which I have used for numerous gardening chores, includin soil mixing, ever since. A smaller child's plastic "swimming pool" or sandbox can also be useful. |
Welcome to the party....lol. All you need is a couple of water tight plastic planter trays. Or anything water proof to hold half in one tray and half in the other. Rotate them under the light. If you have a window use that for the batch not under direct artificial light that day. |
Yah, just visit walmart and look around. Dont even bother with the garden department. Visit housewares, automotive and hardware, paint, etc.... You will find all kinds of "drip pans" that will work and be very inexpensive. Like suggested above, cookie sheets, broiler pans, shoe drip trays, etc... Potting up is always a little overwhelming. We start out with a 72 cell starter kit in a 2 square foot tray and upon potting up, the coverage area instantly grows to a 12-16 square foot area. Then you have to consider light coverage as well. Good luck, Bruce |
What Tim said. I only bottom water for the 1st 2-3 times to cut down on the risk of damping off. After that, I top water to make sure there's no salt or fert buildup. As far as bottom watering, just take a large tupperware(or like mentioned, a roasting pan), put about an inch of water in and 10-20 mins later, pull and drain them. I do mine a few at a time. Takes about an hour and then I'm done for over a week. Looking just fine. Namaste! Kevin |
I have vacated my system from tomato seedlings. Now it looks better with just peppers. After I plant my tomatoes, I will transfer the peppers to the hoop shelter. Finally, plant out season here. |

Scroll down to my setup and you'll see Im going through the same thing. Done with 72s , 2 32s ready to transplant and 5 more 32s I started later in 2 weeks. It all gets done just takes time. I put my holes in the side of the cups at the bottom , I think I get better drainage that way. Bottom watering is less work but I only use it every other watering. Your plants will tell you when they need water , so will the weight of the cups. The work never ends |
- Posted by pepperdave none7 (My Page) on Mon, Apr 7, 14 at 8:06
You can easily fit 100 cups under 2 sets of shop lights from HD $30 for 2 fixtures + bulbs. Just put it away for next year when done. Im on year 4 with a few of my bulbs.Starting to fade but still work fine. Im up to 8 sets of lights, 16 bulbs. Still running out of room. |
Bottom watering is best, the Espoma is a bit dense so I worry with top watering that you'll soak them too much and rot the roots. Just leave the cups in a tray or sink of water until you see the top surface start to darken, then you know enough water has wicked up to wet the roots. Don't be afraid to let the surface dry out between waterings - the plants will start to wilt a little to let you know they need watering, they'll perk right back up. Yeah, it gets overwhelming - wait until you have to start hardening off! |

plus 1 on dollar store, I just bought a bunch of the big aluminum trays. works like a champ just fill with water let them soak it up and dump the excess. |
I'm going to buy two seedling trays and house the cups on them. I cut one hole smaller than a dime on the bottom of each cup. I hope that's adequate to bottom water. |
- Posted by scott123456 5 (My Page) on Wed, Apr 9, 14 at 1:28
These are all good recommendations but I don't think anyone has stated the very obvious and easiest solution. Use another solo cup. I found this to be easiest way, so that you are not limited to the shape of the tray, and don't have to have a space for a big tray with all your plants in one spot. Also, it doesn't take an hour to water them, waiting on them, draining them, drying the cups, moving them in and out of their spots ects. Just poke holes in the bottom of one cup and put it in another cup that doesn't have holes. When I water, I just pick up the first cup put about 2 inches ( depending on how dry it is) of water in the bottom cup and then put the top cup back in and back in its spot it goes. It will float at first but will sink shortly. Then you are good for another week or so. It works like a charm and have had no issues. |
I only have one hole cut in the bottom middle of the cup.. At this point its not practical to cut more holes, so I'm wondering if the bottom water method will work with one hole. |
- Posted by CanadianLori 6a Oakville (My Page) on Wed, Apr 9, 14 at 7:34
If water can run out that hole then... |
- Posted by scott123456 5 (My Page) on Wed, Apr 9, 14 at 19:29
I think multiple smaller holes probably works best so air can flow too (it's like poping the tab on a gas can). However, this year many of my plants have one dimed sized hole in the bottom at it seems to work fine. At a certain point they no longer need to be bottom watered but I continue to do it because it is just more convenant for my situation. |
- Posted by gardendrivenlife 6 (My Page) on Wed, Apr 9, 14 at 20:21
I got a rectangular tub around 6" deep for mixing mortar for brickwork. I am currently rotating peppers and tomatoes. 2 days on and 2 days off. The tray helps in this and also for the hardening off process. Dont sweat it,and good luck. |
One week into it, peppers are acclimated and taking off. Not to my surprise, the habs are s good deal behind in growth from the cayenne and jalmudos. However, they're also looking a little yellow. I have been very conservative as to watering, so I don't think overwatering is an issue. May it be time for some ferts? The seedlings are about a month old. |
- Posted by pepperdave none7 (My Page) on Sun, Apr 13, 14 at 11:34
I put 3 triangular holes using a box cutter on the side of my cup at the bottom. I personally feel I dont want a seal to whatever I place the cup on. You could always put more holes in a cup with bad drainage at any time without effecting your plant. Most Commercial pots dont have there holes in the bottom. When you bottom water it just has to be a little deeper. Roots need Oxygen on there roots probably more then the need fertilizer. |

This is a great lip balm. The fact that it has added SPF20 is a bonus, especially with summer here. I love this stuff. It works very well on chapped lips, which is a constant problem for me.
It glides on smooth and lasts a decent amount of time.
Only con is that it only has 2g of product in the packaging. At shoppers (only place I could find it) I paid $5 for only one stick. This is pricey to me, looking at other lip balms I've seen, and their lower prices. But I can't complain; softlips really does work so I guess I'll just have to suck it up!
This is definitely the best for chapped lips. After ONE DAY, my lips were super smooth again.

This as a lip balm is not great. I use this only because it is the best lip balm with the highest SPF that I have found for a reasonable price. It's so easy for travel and extremely inexpensive. I would totally buy it again. It is not very moisturizing so I would not use it just because it is a lip balm. I like the SPF 20 though. So if you want it to be super moisturizing, you're out of luck.

For a drugstore lipbalm, this was pretty pricey. I got it for around $5 at Shopper's Drug Mart, and it doesn't come with a lot of product. It feels very smooth on my lips, but it doesn't really moisturize. The smell is wonderful, however the taste is terrible. It tastes like a strong sunscreen!
When I put this on, my dead skin cells on my lips become much more apparent. The only use I can think of for this product is to put it on before exfoliating the lips, so that the exfoliator can get the dead skin off quicker.

Well, I was doing A LOT of research before buying it, because that's what I do. And I really wanted to try it out because I heard a lot of good reviews on this product. I gave it a 3 for the packaging and price because it was a little pricey since it only contain .7 oz of lip balm because of its small packaging. But, I do like how it looked and how you can twist it all the way to the top with it getting stuck like the usual lip balms.
Some pros are that it smells amazing, like fresh vanilla mixed with a little mint. And also, it goes on really smooth. But, the cons are that it does not last. I applied it and 10 minutes later, it was gone. I would probably not buy it again, but if I did, I would definitely try out the other flavors they have.

When it comes to lip care I don't have much time but I'm very particular about the brands I choose Softlips & Lipice are the lip balms I'm loyal to.
My personal favorite is Lipice by Multibrands.

Nice spf, flavor, price, and moisture. Currently my favorite lip balm for day, but it's NOT a miracle worker for my constantly chapped chips. I may repurchase, but I'm still on the quest for my HG lip balm.

SoftLips is my everyday lip balm. I have it in almost every flavor. They apply well, last a long time, and do not dry out my lips. They also doesn't feel waxy, which is a huge plus. I even apply before bed and it lasts all night. It does have a little warmth when first applied, but it is nothing like applying a lip plumper and I don't mind it. The vanilla is my favorite permanent flavor that is offered. I like when they have sugar cookie at Christmas and the peach/mango in the summer also. I will continue to repurchase these!

This balm has a nice consistency, but it does burn my lips slightly. For that reason alone, I'll never buy it again. The balm disappears quickly, requiring constant reapplication. It's also a little too narrow for ease of use.
