Works for us We bought these blinds to cover a closet space in my husband'f office. We've had them for just a few weeks. We really like them and they serve our purpose. No problems with them at this point and don't expect to have any problems. Keep in mind when installing to allow for some natural stretching or they will drag the floor. We are satisfied with this product.

BEWARE! We received these blinds on 8/29/2012. We discovered, after talking to the company that would help with installation questions, that the dimensions on this site are incorrect. The dimensions HERE are 84 in. wide x 78 in. long. NOT!!! The true dimensions are reversed. They are 78in WIDE by 84 in LONG. The company said they would call Overstock. I have called Overstock, as well. If you want these to fit an 84 in wide window, don't order! Please note, this review required my opinion of the product before I could submit the review. Since the blinds did not go up, I do not have an opinion. The ones posted were put there just to write the review warning about the dimensions.

WOW - these instructions reek! First, I agree with many on here that the instructions were so cryptic, Apple could have hidden their code for iOS6 and you would have never found it. Throw the instructions out and GUESS. These are without a doubt the most useless "instructions" for any product I have ever purchased. There is half the information missing on how these things actually work and it took me 3 hours to put these up, even then, they were not right. Now that they are installed, they are OK, but I will never buy another product from this company.

love them! for the first time i can say i love my room. the bamboo was the perfect finishing touch to a long process. each is slightly different which lends to the natural feeling of bamboo's uniqueness. they are a crack up to install. we put them too low, then too high, and at last perfect. giggle. i do not think the issue was the product, it was the installers! me and my brother. the light during the day filters thru and i can see outside a bit so my lovely redwood tree is not out of sight and i still feel a sense of privacy. tho i would not turn on all the light and take my clothing off if i lived in a city. giggle.

Questions & Answers
Hello 13925976, This set includes four panels with wand control and the panels stack neatly when not in use. Unfortunately, we are out of stock currently. Please enter your email address and we will gladly notify you when this item is available.
My sliding glass window is 5 1/2 wide, will this work?
Thank you for your inquiry regarding the Bamboo Slider Panel Blinds for Patio Doors and Windows fitting your door that is 5 1/2' wide. Yes this should work fine. Your sliding door is about 66" wide, and the blinds are 78" wide. I hope this answer helps you.
How wide is each panel? Do the panels attach to the track sliders with Velcro ?
Dimensions:78 inches wide x 84 inches long Panel and track are built as one. No, the panels attach to the track sliders with Velcro.Thank you for your question. Please feel free to contact us again with any further questions.
I have French doors that open on the left side. Will the blinds slide to allow either side to open? Are they attached to the wall above the door opening, just like verticle blinds?
Yes u can hang to allow left opening,& yes they hang just like vertical
I have two 8 ft. sliders and four 6 ft. sliders in my sun room. I think this may work for the 6 ft but what can I do about the 8 ft. since putting 2 together would be to wide? And do they also roll up or do they stay down and just stack in front of each other?
They won't cover your 8 ft. sliders and two together definitely will have them running down the length of your wall too wide. I don't know the layout of your sun-room but it might be possible to order matching roll-up style in a wide width for the larger sliders. Overstock.com has several bamboo shades in this color. (The sliding type does NOT roll up. Only slide to a side and overlap each other.
Thank you for your inquiry; you will be contacted by Customer Care.
I have a 6' sliding glass door with a length of 79", can I use this type of blind? Is the track adjustable?
Thank you for contacting us, the Panel Track Shades does not have an adjustable track. Please let me know if you have any further question.
My sliding doors r also 6 ft.I had my handyman trim bottom& glue gun on bottoms,after trimming to fit.Well worth the xtra work,As the overall effect is stunning!
Can these be used as inside mount?
Yes this can be used as inside mount. Please let me know if you have any further question.
Is it possible to trim the length witout ruining the panals? thanks
The panels would probably be ruined if the length was trimmed.
Is it possible to trim the length on these panals? thanks
It would be extremely difficult to achieve the look you want because the panels are made of bamboo, and it''s almost impossible to get an even edge after cutting.
i would like to use these as a room divider. is it possible to mount them to a ceiling?
Yes, you can mount these on the ceiling to use the panels as a room divider.
can you purchase two of these to mount side by side to get the desired length greater than 84. i have a window that is 94 inches wide. i wanted to buy two and ount them side by side. is this possible?
Yes, it is possible.
What color is the back of the panel?
The color on the back of the panel is the same color and texture as the front of the panel.
Does this item come with two panels or one?
This set includes four panels with wand control and the panels stack neatly when not in use.
Do you make a pannel set that is 96 inches wide or more? and can they be made shorter?
The manufacturer states that they do not manufacture a width wider or other than what is listed on our web site. Please feel free to contact us again with any further questions.
Do you make a similar product for OUTDOOR use?
Unfortunately, we do not sell a similar product for outdoor use.
How far out from the wall does the mount extend
about 3 inches, but the clip mounts are difficult to deal with and good luck figuring them out, the "directions" are a waste of paper.
I'd like to do an inside mount for my sliders. The width says 84 inch. Is this track adjustable since my inside width is only 70 inch?
Will these open with a sliding glass door that opens from left to right? Do the panels just slide underneath each other when you pull them open? thanks.
This item slides both ways. Yes, the panels slides underneath each other when it is pulled open.
Do the panels only open to the left?
The panels should be able to move left or right.
Does this product PEN from Right to Left as pictures so I can use it on a right opening sliding glass door?
Yes, this is correct.

Fate is the study of the past and reincarnation. In Astrology, when we discuss reincarnation, we are referring to the belief that the core of every human being is reconfigured into a new person, but that the person, separated from the flesh, has a long-term relationship with the planets and stars. Many failed to learn lessons in past lives, and Astrology helps us to identify these lessons so that we may focus our energy and gauge our behavior more accurately for universal progression.
Fate is a fixed decree by which the order of things is prescribed, an immutable or inevitable law of the universe. It is the force by which all existence is determined and the closed set of an individual's lot in life. Fate encompasses all arranged or predetermined events from your past, spanning through time and the universe.
Your fate is determined at the time of your birth based on the motion and position of the planets. It is a prescription or a suggestion of the shape of things to come. When we are born, we're given certain characteristics, and it's up to us as individuals to decide what to do with this information.
Certainly, you can change the outcome of your fate. However, you must always be aware of and contend with the astrological hand you are dealt at the time of your birth. Fate always allows for free choice, and nothing in Astrology can ever take this choice away from you.
Never resign yourself to letting fate run its course if it makes you unhappy. Never give up your free choice. The final decision is always yours, and you always have an active role and the final word on every activity you undertake in your lifetime. Astrology doesn't just happen to you; you make it happen.
Understanding our fate helps us to set realistic goals for ourselves. If you are born in Canada, chances are very slim that you will be the King or Queen of England. Of course the final outcome of your life is in your hands, but fate helps us set realistic goals for ourselves by encouraging us to take into consideration immutable factors that we cannot change.
The components of Karmic Astrology that determine your fate are Retrograde, Anaretic, Declination, and the IC. Retrograde tells us to look at the different motions of the planets and to slow down and think. The Anaretic Degree helps us to understand what obstacles we need to overcome based on the planets passing through the Signs. As the planets rise and fall on the celestial equator, Declination becomes another factor of planetary karma that we need to consider. The IC asks us to consider our past and our heritage, and to consider how these factors shape our characteristics. And finally, the Angles make up the major points in your natal chart, and they provide insight into the history of you at your birth.

Fact of the day
Information is the most powerful weapon.
Fact N°
The Playboy Bunny outfit was the first service uniform given a U.S. patent.
Representing one of the most familiar icons of the sexual revolution, the original Playboy Bunny outfit consisted of a black, form-fitting, strapless one-piece, a fluffy white tail, black satin ears, and a white collar and cuffs. It coincided with the advent of the Playboy Clubs in 1960.
It underwent a number of minor changes over the next few years, but the one thing that didn't change was Playboy company policy, which dictated that the outfit was to be worn "only for Playboy-authorized activities."
Fact N°
Contrary to popular perception, the Declaration of Independence was not signed by all the delegates on July 4, 1776.
The most important document in the history of the United States was adopted by the delegates of the Second Continental Congress on July 4, 1776, but at the time, the copy added to the records did not include all 56 eventual signatures.
In fact, that document is signed only by elected President of Congress John Hancock, with longtime Secretary of Congress Charles Thomson signing as a witness to Hancock. Not until August 2 did the other 55 delegates begin to sign it themselves. That copy was most likely filed in Thomson's Philadelphia office, despite the fact that Thomson himself neither signed it nor is he counted among the 56 original signers.
Fact N°
One-fifth of the planet's free-standing fresh water is in Siberia.
Fresh water is considered fresh when its salinity is measured to be less than .5 parts per 10,000 dissolved salts. Brackish water has between .5 and 35 parts, saline water between 35 and 50, and any higher than that is called brine.
Most fresh water reaches humans via rain and precipitation, but a full fifth of it is found in Lake Baikal, the "Blue Eye of Siberia," which at 5,314 ft (1,637 m), is also the world's deepest lake.
Fact N°
"General Sherman" is the largest living thing on the planet.
Ten times bigger than a blue whale, General Sherman is the name of a Giant Sequoia tree in the Giant Forest of Sequoia National Park in central California. The tree is, by volume, the largest living thing on the planet and is estimated to be as many as 2,700 years old.
It is not the world's tallest tree, however -- it's not even close. General Sherman stands around 275 ft (83 m), while the Hyperion tree in Redwood National Park stretches up 379 ft (115 m).
Fact N°
The record for the longest tenure on the FBI's Ten Most Wanted list is 25 years, 10 months and 27 days.
When the FBI added alleged cop-killer Donald Eugene Webb to their Most Wanted list on May 4, 1981, it's likely few in the agency imagined he would prove so hard to find. But Webb surprised and frustrated the agency for over 25 years until finally, on March 31, 2007 the FBI removed his name -- but only to make room for murder suspect Shauntay Henderson. Webb's whereabouts are unknown.
Incidentally, Henderson's name was removed less than a day later (she was apprehended) but she didn't set the record for the shortest tenure. That belongs to another cop killer, Billie Austin Bryant. Tenure? Two hours.
Fact N°
James Garfield was the only U.S. President who was also an ordained minister.
The 20th President of the United States was only in office for about four months before being assassinated, but prior to that, he had been ordained as a minister in the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), a Protestant denomination. However, he did not attend seminary -- which is part of the process of becoming ordained today. In Garfield's day, according to the Restoration Movement of the era, he was considered fully ordained, and while President of Hiram College, he preached on Sundays.
Fact N°
A rearview mirror offers day and night visibility by using both sides of a single piece of glass.
The piece of glass is ground in such a way that one side is tilted compared to the other side, meaning they are not parallel to one another. The back surface of the glass is covered with a silver that makes it extremely reflective, and that's what you look at during the day to see behind you.
When tilted at night, that highly reflective surface points to the ceiling of your car, which is so dark you can't tell it's reflecting that. Meanwhile, the non-treated front of the glass is not a mirror at all, it's just glass, but headlights are so bright that the glass is able to reflect them.

Photo courtesy Tampa Bay Rays
Tropicana Field hosts the first game of this year's postseason.
What better way to get the playoffs underway than with a classic pitching matchup like this: Cliff Lee vs. David Price? Two of the best lefties in the game square off this afternoon at Tropicana Field, with Lee hoping to duplicate his dominant postseason run from last year with the Phillies (4-0, 1.56 ERA) and raise his asking price in free agency in the process, and Price hoping to pick up right where he left off at the end of a regular season in which he went 19-6 with a 2.72 ERA.
This game probably means more to the Rangers, who can ill afford to lose any of Lee's starts, than the Rays, who still have James Shields and Matt Garza waiting in the wings. Texas hasn't had a whole lot of success against Price before. Nelson Cruz (2-for-4, homer) has hit the lefty during their few encounters, but Vladimir Guerrero (2-for-7), Josh Hamilton (1-for-6) and Jorge Cantu (0-for-6, three strikeouts) have struggled against him.
Lee has been less-successful against Texas' hitters over the years. B.J. Upton (7-for-21, three doubles) and Carlos Pena (three homers in 29 at-bats) have good track records against him. Only Evan Longoria (3-for-18) has particularly poor numbers among Tampa Bay regulars against Lee.
I'm not sure how much of this game I'm going to be able to watch, because Stan Kasten is holding his final press conference as Nats president at 3 p.m. at Nationals Park. But if I do, I'll be sure to post some thoughts. Either way, please feel free to discuss the game with each other in the comments section…

Man, I wish I could be as bad as Jeff Francoeur and handed a job to play in the postseason.I'm usually a Rays enthusiast because I like their model of success (developing from within – like I hope the Nationals will do), but I can't root against our franchise hero, Vladdy. Go Vlad! I hope he gets the World Series win he deserves.
- Anonymous - Oct 6, 2010 at 5:02 PM
If Riggleman managed the Rangers and double-switched Andrus out for Guzman, would the stadium announcer intone "Elvis has left the building"?
- Traveler8 - Oct 6, 2010 at 6:28 PM
This first game is really playing out as a slugfest – 9 hits and only in the bottom of the second. Given all the pitcher hype, I thought this was going to be the lowest scoring post season series on record – maybe not.
- BQ - Oct 6, 2010 at 6:35 PM
Well the lineups are not so bad either. I can understand the surprise against Rays' 4 hits off of Lee but Rangers are good ball club all around. Lee struck out Bartlett to leave Zobrist on 2nd after his lead off double. 5 Ks in the game so far. Rangers have this one in the pocket.
- BQ - Oct 6, 2010 at 6:38 PM
What Pena did with SS's throw, I am not so sure Dunn could pull that off.
- Anonymous - Oct 6, 2010 at 7:06 PM
Hmm fellow anonymii … Guzman was left off the roster. Ripe for Riggleman to bring back to the Nats. We have to know Rizzo would never consider it. Something to look forward to in 2011.
- souldrummer - Oct 6, 2010 at 7:16 PM
Kinda surprised that David Price is coming up so small in his first postseason start. Not suprised about Pena FAIL with bases loaded and one out against an elite pitcher. Take note, Rizzo. You'll have these whole playoffs to personally consider whether he's a valid Dunn substitute or not.
- NatsJack in Florida - Oct 6, 2010 at 7:25 PM
Just a quick note. Chien Ming Wang is supposed to pitch one inning in Viera today against the Tigers. The report I saw (by way of the Taiwan News Channel) said he was going to throw mostly sinkers.
- NatsJack in Florida - Oct 6, 2010 at 7:27 PM
Rizzo and Riggleman are supposedly there to watch.
- Michael J. Hayde - Oct 6, 2010 at 7:44 PM
Hmmm… Carl Crawford just stole second with two outs and his team five runs down… and the announcers aren't getting on his case about it. I guess that "honor" is reserved for poor Nyjer.
- Michael J. Hayde - Oct 6, 2010 at 7:48 PM
In fairness, Ray and Bob aren't calling this game, and Mark isn't blogging about it. So maybe that explains the lack of criticism. Maybe.
- Bowdenball - Oct 6, 2010 at 7:56 PM
Also in fairness- The Nats were down 11 runs at the time, and Morgan stole two bases.Not that criticism is warranted in either case, of course.The Rangers are a very, very good team when they're healthy, as they are now. 90 wins while losing both Nelson Cruz and Ian Kinsler to multiple DL stints and Hamilton and Guerrero for shorter periods is impressive. And their four-man rotation is as good as anyone in the playoffs except the Phils.
- BinM - Oct 6, 2010 at 8:00 PM
Bowdenball: I'd take the Giants' rotation over the Rangers in a heartbeat.
- BQ - Oct 6, 2010 at 8:07 PM
@ Bowdenball, maybe you haven't looked at Giants and Braves rotation. Many baseball fans will disagree with your comment.Rays been disappointing this game. First inning, they should have done major damage to Lee and Rangers. That pretty much would have sealed the deal but it was Lee on the mound.
- natsfan1a - Oct 6, 2010 at 8:41 PM
I like the Giants' rotation. (Yeah, I also grew up in the Bay Area and am rooting for them, but that's immaterial. :-))I heard some of the earlier innings in the Rangers/Rays game but didn't see any. I'd be interested to see the Peña at-bat with the strike call where the ball was said to have hit off the knob of his bat or some such. Was also hoping for a better outcome for the Rays. I rooted for them during their run in '08 and was hoping they could take a couple at home this series. (I also kinda like Joe Maddon. shhh…) I know Lee's tough, but it's not as though they didn't have any opportunities.
- markfd - Oct 7, 2010 at 2:23 PM
Great performance by Cliff Lee and the Rangers offense, I think the battle with the Yankees for the division may have taken the wind out of the Rays sails.

those nintendo 64 graphics are nostalgic
Phoronix: SuperTuxKart 0.8.1 Linux Racing Game Speeds Ahead
For the fans out there of SuperTuxKart, an open-source racing game inspired by Mario Kart that's available for countless platforms, the v0.8.1 release is finally available...
those nintendo 64 graphics are nostalgic
As already mentioned, the simulation mode is not a benchmark mode. It is not repeatable!Originally Posted by Michael
This game uses the Battlefield 4 engine.
To be honest, SuperTuxKart in its newer versions is actually really fun and I play it every now and then.
Also re: graphics, they have been working on improved graphics for months, but this work will only debut with 0.9/1.0 (the next major release).
I wouldn't call it a "sad" minor update. There were already plenty of tracks and karts to choose from, so I don't think adding those are the main focus anymore. The bubblegum protector and nitro changes have changed the feel of the game, making it less chaotic and emphasizing skill/strategy over luck a bit more.
The main feature they lack is network play.
DanL, I always wanted to know if you are the same person as the one on Longplays.org, and since this shows that You seem to be interested in games, I figured "why not"?
If so, I would like to seize this moment to thank You for the really great playthroughs of the 'Half-Life' series!
Keep up the great work!
Oh hey they got around to use the beastie model i made. Neat
I wouldnt say the mascots are the major weakpoint, but i certainly agree with the (poor) n64 look. Moreso its lacking a bit.. cartoonish styling. Animations would also greatly help ifthey improved.

22.07.2013 /
WASHOUGAL, Washington – Red Bull KTM Factory rider Ryan Dungey earned 2nd overall at the eighth round of the Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Championship Series after earning the first moto win and taking the runner-up position in moto two at Washougal Motocross Park.
Ryan Dungey took the holeshot in the first moto to put his KTM 450 SX-F Factory Edition race machine into the early lead. Dungey went on to lead every lap in an impressive moto to take the race win.
"Washougal has been a great track for me over the past few years. I have had a lot of moto wins and overalls at this track and I really enjoy this place," stated Dungey.
Dungey nearly pulled the holeshot in the second moto but was edged out slightly by Josh Grant. Moments later, Dungey sprinted ahead of Grant and had the lead by the second corner. Dungey and rival Ryan Villopoto pulled away out front consistently running lap times 3-5 seconds faster than their competitors. Dungey held off the charge of Villopoto for the first eight minutes of the race before Villopoto made a pass to take over the lead. Dungey fell to second place and finished the race in that position to tie Villopoto in points for the day.
"I am bummed to not take the overall but I am happy I did not lose any points to Ryan (Villopoto) today," stated Dungey on the podium. "I am working harder to get moto wins as I know I need them in order to close the point gap. I am looking forward to heading to Millville next weekend as it is my hometown track and I am hoping to do well in front of my local fans."
Roczen and Musquin on the podium at Washougal

December is known as a critical fundraising month for charities across the United States.
Many people make year-end gifts for tax reasons or to extend the spirit of Thanksgiving and generosity to those less fortunate.
The Better Business Bureau's Wise Giving Alliance offers a few 'do's and don'ts' when it comes to charity giving, both at holiday time and year-round.
There's a reason Keith Gibson gives to the Salvation Army. He said it is simple to puts cash and coins inside the organization's red kettles when walking out a store's door. Gibson also feels it's safe.
The Better Business Bureau warns the charitable among us about scammers that prey upon your holiday spirit.
"I think people are more vulnerable. We're in a caring mood and people sadly seem to care more about each other at this time of year and they take the moment to scam people," said Gibson.
It may be a just a drop in the bucket, but by giving to the Salvation Army, Gibson knows his money is headed to something legitimate. Not all organizations have charitable intentions, though.
"It's a shame that it happens, that there are people out there that have no moral regards to other human beings in the world," Gibson said.
While BBB urges folks to donate to charities, the bureau suggests people use the following 'Do's and Don'ts' to make sure their money goes to support a good cause:
Do check out the charity carefully. Make sure you feel comfortable with how your money will be spent. Don't just take the word of someone else; even good friends may not have fully researched the charities they endorse. Go to www.give.org to verify that a charity meets BBB Wise Giving Alliance's 20 Standards for Charity Accountability.
Don't assume that only "low overhead" matters. How much money a charity spends on the actual cause – as compared to how much goes toward fundraising and administration – is an important factor, but it's not the whole story. A charity with impressive financial ratios could have other significant problems such as insufficient transparency, inadequate board activity and inaccurate appeals.
DO be sure it's the right charity. With so many charities in existence, their names can blur in a donor's mind and similar-sounding organizations are common. Many phony charities purposefully choose a name that sounds familiar. Be sure you know which charity you're supporting and that it's not a case of mistaken identity.
Don't assume that the charity wants any item you donate. Worn out, unusable or unwanted donated goods cost charities millions of dollars each year because the organization has to bear the cost of tossing the unacceptable donation. If you have questions about an item's acceptability, call the charity and ask.
Do consider easy text-to-give options. The BBB Mobile Giving Foundation makes it easy to give smaller donations (usually $10) to charities they have selected and monitor, including those providing relief to victims of Hurricane Sandy. Go to www.mobilegiving.org to find out more.

The most recent NNSA quarterly summary of experiments conducted as part of its science-based stockpile stewardship program is now available here.
The quarterly summary for the 1st quarter of FY2012 prepared by NNSA's Office of Defense Programs provides descriptions of key NNSA facilities that conduct stockpile stewardship experiments. These include some of the most sophisticated scientific research facilities in the world including, the Dual Axis Radiographic Hydrodynamic Test (DARHT) facility at Los Alamos National Laboratory, National Ignition Facility (NIF) at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, and the Z machine at Sandia National Laboratories. The summary also provides the number of experiments performed at each facility during each quarter of the fiscal year.
The U.S. Stockpile Stewardship Program is a robust program of scientific inquiry used to sustain and assess the nuclear weapons stockpile without the use of underground nuclear tests. The experiments carried out within the program are used in combination with complex computational models and NNSA's Advanced Simulation and Computing (ASC) Program to assess the safety, security and effectiveness of the stockpile. An extraordinary set of science, technology and engineering (ST&E) facilities have been established in support of the stockpile stewardship program.

Dammit... just bought this because of Ben There, Dan That (which I had never heard of before but it looked kinda funny), and now the donwload page tells me it isn't available for linux. I must say I'm a little bit pissed... I know it's my fault for not checking before, but I got so used to the Humbe Bundles it didn't even occur to me there might be no linux client. :/
Edit: Actually, two of the other games aren't available for linux as well... well at least I didn't pay more than the minimum. :>

in the case of a person entitled to reemployment under subsection (a)(3), (a)(4), or (b)(2)(B) ofsection
4313, such employment would impose an undue hardship on the employer; or
In any proceeding involving an issue of whether—
any reemployment referred to in paragraph (1) is impossible or unreasonable because of a change in an employer's circumstances,

Except as provided in subparagraph (B), the failure of a person to provide documentation that satisfies regulations prescribed pursuant to paragraph (2) shall not be a basis for denying reemployment in accordance with the provisions of this chapter if the failure occurs because such documentation does not exist or is not readily available at the time of the request of the employer. If, after such reemployment, documentation becomes available that establishes that such person does not meet one or more of the requirements referred to in subparagraphs (A), (B), and (C) of paragraph (1), the employer of such person may terminate the employment of the person and the provision of any rights or benefits afforded the person under this chapter.

CD-RW.org the best known place for discussing CD-R media brands has had very few users in the CD-R(W) media forum lately so I thought it would be a good idea to start a new, more accurate thread for dead CD-R media at HA whether it's a success will depend on the users.
If you have more than one brand feel free to post them all. Use CDR Identifier or Nero Info Tool to identify the real CD-R manufacturer also specify the CD-R manufacturer on the case, box or spindle, drive used to burn, speed, color of the CD-R & burn date would also be useful CD-R quality can be measured using,
(!) Tops are reported to peel with time This list may change depending on future findings DVD-R Armour is a solution for those who find DVD media too delicate (scratches easily), newer DVD-R Armour discs also provide extra UV protection. The OSTA.org (Optical Storage Technology Association) site has some very useful information & can answer many of your CD-R questions. This post has been edited by westgroveg: Jan 29 2005, 08:43 |

Managing capital and transactions in a changing world
Need to make better and more-informed decisions about how to strategically manage capital and transactions in a changing world? Let us help.
The Capital Agenda puts your capital needs at the heart of our strategy and focuses on the issues that matter most to you:
- Preserving capital
Every business needs to continuously assess the potential impact of evolving market conditions on the performance of its operations and its capital base. Even in a recovering market, companies believing themselves in a stable position can find their situation can change.
The preservation of capital requires that companies continuously scour their strategies, markets and balance sheets to reassess strengths and weaknesses.
The focus should be:
- Stress and distress — e.g., liquidity issues and turnaround plan
- Customer and supplier analysis
- Preserving tax assets and minimizing costs
- Refinancing and restructuring debt, equity and other obligations
- Dealing with stakeholder relationships and pressure
- Dispute resolution
- Optimizing capital
Today's economic climate is forcing businesses to candidly assess their financial fitness.
More than a mere review of operations, companies today must conduct objective assessments of the alignment of their business strategies.
The focus should be:
- Optimizing asset portfolio
- Delivery of synergies and effective integration
- Improving working capital and releasing cash
- Optimizing capital structure
- Optimizing tax and corporate structure
- Investing capital
Investors in your organization want to know why: why this transaction, why at this price and why now?
Complicating matters, differing stakeholders increasingly bring differing expectations of investments and returns.
The focus should be:
- Acquisition and alliances
- Delivery of synergies and effective integration
- Planning and structuring transactions to optimize stakeholder return
- Focused due diligence to mitigate risk and drive value
- Asset valuations
- Cost- and tax-efficient structures
- Raising capital
A company's ability to raise capital quickly and effectively is integral to its growth potential and financial well-being. This is true in good times and in bad.
Whatever the motivation for raising capital, companies can access new funds more effectively if they have planned ahead. They should know how and where they could access capital, if they need it.
The focus should be:
- Fundraising (equity and debt): IPO readiness, right issues, PE, private placement and capital markets
- Optimizing funding structures
- Asset divestment
- Infrastructure projects
- Cost- and tax-efficient structures

A sponsors primary responsibility
A sponsors primary responsibility – is to share with the sponsee – his/her experience with the program of Alcoholics Anonymous – the 12 Steps – and how the sponsor has been able to use those principles in his/her own life to recover from their alcoholism. The sponsor can lead and suggest and do the best that they can do. And, in reality – that is the most that a sponsor should do.
The highest position that an alcoholic can hold – and should hold – in A.A., is to be a Member of A.A.
A sponsor is a Member of A.A. A sponsor is someone who is willing to share their time, efforts, and sometimes a little money, if and when it might be appropriate – with the newcomer.
The best Manual on Sponsorship – and the only authorized Manual on Sponsorship that we have – is the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous. A good sponsor will share with the newcomer what they know about the solution in the book. A sponsor sharing anything other than what is in the book – is simply sharing personal and not professional opinions – on anything that is not in the book.
[b]The chapter in the book, that deals with Sponsorship – is Chapter Seven – "Working with others.â€

It's not EXACT, but he's reusing the idea he did only a few months earlier and printed with last time.
I'm going to have to side with those who are saying they aren't the same design. Ramyb tends to reuse general ideas over and over and over again. So yes, both designs are spherical and located on the chest of the shirt. But that doesn't mean that he just rehashed the Aztec design and slapped on a new name. Ramyb just uses the same few formats because he isn't really that creative. There are plenty of legitimate faults to many of his designs, people can't go out of their way to make up something to complain about. Because when that happens, then all the blind Ramyb supporters can point at all the complaints, even valid ones, and say that we're just trying to bash on Ramyb.

The 30-year-old starting pitcher is eligible to become a free agent after the upcoming season, but he made it clear on Thursday that returning is important for him.
"These guys are my No. 1 priority," Lester said of the Red Sox at the Boston Baseball Writers' Association of America awards dinner. "I want to be here 'til they rip this jersey off my back."
Lester recognizes that negotiating a new deal with the Red Sox might take some compromise on his part when it comes to salary. That's OK with him.
"I understand that to stay here, you're not going to get a free-agent deal," Lester said. "You're not going to do it. You can't. It's not possible. You're bidding against one team. I understand you're going to take a discount to stay. Do I want to do that? Absolutely.
"But just like they want it to be fair for them, I want it to be fair for me and my family."
The Red Sox exercised a club option of $13 million in Lester's contract for 2014. Last season, he made $11.625 million at the end of a five-year, $30 million extension he signed before the 2009 season.
Lester would like to reach an agreement on a new contract during spring training but has yet to speak with the team about it.
"Any time you get in this situation, I think that's everybody's goal, to reach some type of ground in spring, and that way, everybody's relaxed, everybody's in the same place, so when the season starts, you can just worry about baseball," he said.
Lester finished the 2013 regular season with a 15-8 record and a 3.75 ERA in 33 starts. In the postseason, he excelled with a 4-1 record and a 1.56 ERA in helping the Red Sox win the World Series.
Red Sox CEO Larry Lucchino wants to keep Lester in Boston.
