Angel investors are a wide range of different investors, not as formally established as venture capitalist firms, and not as homogenous a group either. An angel investor might be a successful business person, a wealthy individual, a group of professionals such as doctors or dentists, or a local investment club, or somebody else completely different. Your angel might be a rich uncle.
Here's the basics of finding angel investors:
- Finish your business plan.You need a plan for at least two obvious reasons:
- to help you estimate how much money you need; and
- to communicate with your investors
- Create your summaries. You need a compelling business plan summary to communicate with investors. Prepare a brief but exciting email, one page at most, outlining the growth prospects, type of business, and potential investor payoff. Prepare an investor summary memo (unless you have a Liveplan plan that does the summary automatically).
- Look for potential angels. We have ample resources for you on this website and in our site network. Search our Ask the Experts database for the term "angels." Consider Harold Lacy's "six degrees of separation" method. Your angel might be somebody you know, recommended by somebody you know, or a local investment club, business person, perhaps even a local development agency. Search the Web, search your contacts. Lacy recommends that you ask everybody you know, not whether they want to invest, but whether they know anybody who might.
- Research your possibilities thoroughly. This is no time for mailmerge or email processor software. As a potential investor emerges, find out whether he or she prefers a phone call first, a meeting, a complete business plan, a summary memo, email, fax, or whatever. If you have Liveplan, then you can eventually invite a potential investor to read and comment on your plan on Secureplan.com; first, however, you need to establish some interest.
- Make sure you have a good relationship with an experienced attorney. You definitely need the right legal help to make a real deal. Make sure your attorney has been through similar deals; if not, then they should recommend a specialist instead. Investment deals are serious business.
- If you don't find anything, what's next?
- Think it over. Maybe the investment filter process is a good thing.
- You might try other means instead of angel investors.
- Yahoo! search for angel investors
- Radio talk show discussions of related topics at the Small Business Advocate website.
- The book Other People's Money, by Harold Lacy, at amazon.com.

YIELD: Makes 8 servings
1. Combine the brine ingredients in a large pot. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer, partially covered, until sugar and salt dissolve. Cool to room temperature.
2. Rinse the turkey breast, discarding excess fat. Place in a deep bowl or pot, breast-side down. Pour the brine over the breast and refrigerate, loosely covered, overnight.
3. Preheat oven to 350°F. Remove the turkey from the brine 30 minutes before roasting. Line a shallow roasting pan with long pieces of heavy-duty aluminum foil.
4. Place turkey in the pan. Brush with 4 tablespoons of melted butter; season with pepper. Gather foil loosely on top and bake for 1 1/2 hours. Open the foil and bake for 2 1/4 hours more, basting every 30 minutes with broth and the remaining 2 tablespoons butter, until the turkey is golden brown and a meat thermometer inserted in the thickest part reads 165°F and the juices run clear. Transfer the breast to a cutting board; let rest for 15 minutes before carving. Reserve pan juices for gravy .

text: idding is a form of grassroots filmaking in which found footage, most frequently from television shows or moview, is edited to music. The resulting videos, known as "vids," or "songvids," comment on, critique or otherwise interpret the filmic source. One of the many arts to have emerged from Star Trek and media fandom, vidding is particularly notable as a form of filmmaking practiced almost exclusively by women. This program will trace the genealogy of vidding, beginning in 1975 and continuing today. We will see examples of different video schools and different genre of vids, exploring a range of vidding aesthetics and briefly discuss how those aesthetics have changed as vidding technology has moved from slides to VCRs to computers. Lastly, the program will show vidding to be a practice that celebrates a distinctly female way of seeing.

Originally written on Busted Coverage | Last updated 11/30/12
Apparently the 10 year, $136.6 million contract her boyfriend Evan Longoria signed wasn't enough for Jaime Edmondson. She was enjoying a nice afternoon having lunch at Sweet Tomatoes when she tweeted out evidence of her smuggling a blueberry muffin. Obviously this isn't that big of a deal, more than likely it was simply a classic case of not being able to bring bread/muffins etc. out of the restaurant. It just comes down to the fact that they are the ultimate power couple, collectively worth millions of dollars, and she has to resort to illegally smuggling blueberry muffins. She tweeted the above photo with the following message: That's what is so great about Jaime. She knows what she did is silly and not only admits to it, but relishes it. Another tweet from Jaime: Next time eat the muffin in the restaurant or ask for a doggie bag. If the waitress is a guy there is no chance he turns her and her muffin shenanigans down.

I did this comic for The Guardian for a section called 'A Cartoonist's Worldview'.
Here it is next to some stairs.
The contributor list was made up of some of my favourite cartoonists going so I was pretty excited about getting to take part. It included Stephen Collins, Kate Beaton, Lilli Carré (you should read her book The Lagoon, it's one of my favourite comics), Gabrielle Bell (I think her one might have been the best), Tom Gauld, Ivan Brunetti, Nicholas Gurewitch and Modern Toss. You can read all of them over on the Guardian website, right here.
Also, a big thanks to Becky Barnicoat for helping make it happen. She draws great comics and should have been in it as well.

2014 Ronix LTD Radar Lake – Showcase ProductPosted: March 25th, 2014 | Author: Dan | Filed under: Active Water Sports | No Comments »
Every year we have an opportunity, in August, to go up to Radar Lake to see the newest product that Radar and Ronix have to offer. This is an exclusive show where only dealers are welcome. They don't allow pictures but they do allow us to try out the newest product and technology and give them our feedback. Why am I telling you this you ask? Because this year they added a little incentive to the dealers who take the time to make it out to this event. If you are present at the event you are given an order form for exclusive, limited edition, product. If you don't show up, you don't get to order it.
One of the items offered in a LTD graphic is the all new Bandwagon.
Ronix has designed the first ever camber wakeboard!
Define Camber? To arch slightly; bend or curve upward in the middle.
When you edge the Bandwagon into the wake you generate your initial pop from the nose connecting with that wake. As the water travels out the back of the board you get a second pop from the rocker in the belly of the board. This will help boost your pop and naturally level out your jumps. You also notice the extra pop in your ollies and air tricks at the cable. The board does allow for a substantial amount of flex so cable riders are absolutely stoked out of their minds on this board.
The Bandwagon Has the feel of a One Board with a larger sweet spot and increased pop. Being the lightest board in Ronix's wakeboard line, the Bandwagon speaks for itself on the water.

The social-networking company, which has been negotiating with Microsoft for the last few months to acquire the online advertising platform, will likely seal the deal tomorrow, AdAge reports.
Social network expected to soon buy extensive ad-serving technology from Microsoft in bid to deliver socially powered ads and reach further into the display ad business.
If the deal goes through, this could help Facebook bolster its ad businesses -- on and off the social-networking site.
The social network is said to be in talks to buy an ad-serving product that Microsoft bought in 2007.
At Microsoft's annual ad industry meeting, CEO Steve Ballmer tells leading ad agency executives that his company is working on technology to help them buy advertising across different devices.
It's getting Cloudy out there.

Thanks for the help.

Hey Buck … not sure if you remember, I'm Tom Gilboe's widow. You kinda took Spc4 Thomas Paul Gilboe under your wing over at Co F 425th Inf Ranger Airborne LRRP. He was the tall 6ft 5″ blond blue eyed martial arts dude that went to SERE in July-August 1990. He had nothing but good things to say about you and Jumpmaster Johnston. Glad I found your website. Was wondering if you have old pictures of you guys and Tom. I have some from some field training and jumps. Will have to figure out how to upload. I'm on FB (Helen Gilboe) and trying to get accepted on the F Co 425th Inf Airborne Long Range Surveillance group, don't know if anybody there besides Quartermaster Fernando Campos still remembers … AIRBORNE ALL THE WAY!!!! Tom would have wanted me to say thanks to you for all you taught him. :o)
Yes, I remember you and Tom —— I remember him every day.
I wish I could, but I cannot provide any pics of Tom.
In regard to your attempt for acceptance into the CO F Association; try the following link http://425regiment.org/ and you might have some luck with your request for some photos and membership.

Good to hear from you man ———– you need to write a book.
I thoroughly enjoyed watching you piss off the higher-ups while we were doin'-the-deed. Your time with the eighty-duce tuned you up to do some righteous mind fucking to the rookie officer and e-m's you were thrown in with. Stay in touch brother.
Buck Naked
ha buck good to get in touch with you how is big al doing,tell hin I said hi. I have to tell you that the nam vet in the 425 molded my life and the way i treated my soldiers. We learned to always back are soldiers if they were wrong or right. I been in 4 units in my 33 years in the active and guard, the 425 was the best time of my life. when we were at the prison the only thing that held us together was the things the old guys installed in us as young SP4 and SGT. The 425 had the best training before the guard ever thought about the way you train is the way you fight. The 425 set the mold for how we train now. Thanks to you ben Gilson,john bunge, jeff west scott stevens sam gomezs ,Lovett help us deal with all the shit we endured in Iraq. take care be safe bro SFCK
SFCK, the great thing about your reply is, WE(425 guys) have always trained to do our best and not once in the 13 years I was there did I ever have a leader that I did not have all the faith in the world in! the credit to that goes to all you Veterans that were there to guide us.
thx man!!!!

Maryland Insurance Commissioner Alfred W. Redmer Jr., who has maintained for months that such action would violate federal law, took no position on the bill in testimony before the Senate Finance Committee yesterday. But he told lawmakers that his office is working with the administrators of the federal flood insurance program on a memorandum of understanding to address many of the complaints from Isabel victims.

The Senate committee heard testimony yesterday on 11 bills and resolutions stemming from Tropical Storm Isabel. Baltimore County Executive James T. Smith Jr. and Sen. Norman K. Stone, a Dundalk Democrat, spoke in favor of all of the measures, which would create a people's counsel for insurance issues, require continuing education for flood insurance agents, regulate some insurance adjusters and prevent homeowners' insurance companies from charging full rates for policies covering damaged homes.
Insurance industry lobbyists offered mixed reactions to the measures. Redmer supported most of them.
He said that if the bill requiring his office to regulate flood insurance carriers passes, he will consult the attorney general to determine what powers he could use without violating federal law. But he said he doesn't believe that applying the state's Unfair Claims Settlement Practices Act to flood insurance carriers would solve most Isabel victims' problems anyway.
Smith, who has criticized Redmer for not regulating flood insurance agents and adjusters, said passing that bill would provide immediate help to victims. The Insurance Administration could then act more aggressively to speed payments, he said.
"The only argument I have heard against this bill is that the state might get sued," Smith said. "This is a state that hasn't backed down against big tobacco. This is a state that hasn't backed down against big polluters. I hope this state will not back down from insurance companies."
D. Robert Enten, a lobbyist for the Property Casualty Insurers Association of America, testified that holding flood insurance agents to state regulations would put them in an untenable position.
"You would put us in a position of trying to comply with a state law that could put us in violation of a federal law, and complying with a federal law that would put us in violation of a state law," he said.
James Shortley, claims director for the National Flood Insurance Program, said last week that he believes federal law pre-empts the kind of state regulation that Smith is pursuing.
Insurance industry representatives also opposed the bill creating a people's counsel, paid for by a surcharge on insurance policies, to act as an advocate for consumers on rate increases and policy disputes. Senate President Thomas V. Mike Miller, the measure's sponsor, said that role cannot be fulfilled by the Maryland Insurance Administration.
"This is about little people, little people who don't have an advocate," Miller said. Redmer and insurance lobbyists testified that the office would be redundant.
Industry representatives testified in favor of some of the proposals, saying for example that consumers should be given easy-to-understand summaries of their policies. They also defended the industry's conduct in the wake of the storm.
"I think, generally speaking, we're pretty proud of the process," Enten said. "We handled tens of thousands of claims without complaint."
Bernice Myer, a resident of Millers Island in eastern Baltimore County and the founder of the Isabel Victims Citizens Group, said that victims of the storm from Maryland, Virginia and North Carolina got "pretty well kicked around" by the insurance companies.
"The insurance companies need someone outside to keep their feet on the ground," she said. "We're not paying these premiums for their protection. We're paying them for our protection."
The National Flood Insurance Program, which requires periodic reauthorization by Congress, is the subject of a Senate subcommittee hearing scheduled for tomorrow.

As increasing numbers of institutions begin developing Massive Open Online Courses of their own to offer through some of the major providers, or as their own content, questions are being raised about their efficacy.
In a recent Higher Ed Mash Up blog post by William Weltzer, he asks what kind of impact the MOOC phenomenon will have on institutions which blend liberal arts with professional training.
While he points out that, at first glance, mixing MOOCs into this educational environment would seem unrelated—after all, a liberal arts curriculum should focus on soft and "higher order" skills which cannot be developed in a classroom of thousands, and professional training requires deeper interactions between students and their educators—this is not necessarily the case.
Online learning resources such as MOOCs, TED talks and classes delivered through the Khan Academy are gaining momentum because today's students are more tech-savvy and become more adept at personal learning than their predecessors. Moreover, it is difficult to match the quality and, surprisingly, the personalization available through online resources in the classroom or in a lecture hall. Further still, offering online learning resources offers institutions the chance to realign their instructional spending and focus on different strategic priorities.
This building of personal learning capacity is really one of the biggest advantages that the online learning boom provides for higher education institutions. On top of providing students with an incredibly valuable capacity to learn needed skills by themselves, such an approach to education frees up classroom time for activities that can only be accomplished in the classroom.
This process must take stock of the opinions of students and faculty to see how they want to move forward with MOOCs, and that usage must blend with the institutional culture and mission, according to Weltzer.

Good idea to put videos for the singles on the Greatest Hits though

5.0 out of 5 stars A Red Hot 'Red Hot Chili Peppers' Album,
What can I say? One of the greatest rock bands in the world collaborates their best songs on one album. It's got to be good!!
The album includes amazing songs from the albums "By The Way", "Californication", "Mother's Milk" and "Blood Sugar Sex Magik". It also has a song from the five year period in which their brilliant guitarist, John Frusciante, left the band and was replaced with Jane's Addiction guitarist, Dave Navarro. You'll also find a few songs that don't appear on any other album.
However, I feel that some great songs have been missed off, such as:
"Warped" from One Hot Minute
"The Zephyr Song" from By The Way
"Can't Stop" from By The Way
"Around The World" from Californication
"Nobody Weird Like Me" from Mother's Milk
"Knock Me Down" from Mother's Milk
Unfortunately, they have chosen to concentrate on the latest line-up of the band (with Chad Smith on drums and John Frusciante on guitar), so there are no songs from the band's earlier period with (among others) Hillel Slovak and Jack Irons. This period includes such funky tunes as:
"Fight Like A Brave" from The Uplift Mofo Party Plan
"True Men Don't Kill Coyotes" from Red Hot Chili Peppers
"Behind The Sun" from The Uplift Mofo Party Plan
Although, I can't criticise this album too much as the bands founder members, Anthony Kiedas (vocals) and Michael "Flea" Balzary (bass), have been in the band since they began making records, so they're on every song!
With the band's raw energy, talent and in some cases downright craziness, this album definitely deserves your attention - and your money!

5.0 out of 5 stars My RHCP's Greatest Hits Review,
Soul Squeezer (Indonesia) - See all my reviews
Actually, this album is not very disappointing. I can hear some of my favourite songs from their albums in just one album. Yet, there are great songs which aren't included in this album:
1)"Aeroplane" -Great song, I like the children voice, also the ending bass.
2)"Can't Stop" -It's much funkier than "By The Way".
3)"Love Rollercoaster" -Where the hell can I find this song in their album?!
4)"I could die for you" -Their most romantic song. EVER!!!
5)"All Around The World" -Why didn't they put this on this album???
6)"Shallow Be Thy Game" -It ROCKS!!! But it's a bit underrated.
I don't know why, but "My Friends" is the only RHCP's song with Dave Navarro. And we can also find "Higher Ground" in their old hits album "What Hits!?". Anyway, this is still such a great album to buy, because it contains great songs such as "Under The Bridge", "Give It Away", "Soul To Squeeze", "Road Trippin'", and also 2 (why's it only 2??!!) new songs, "Fortune Faded" & "Save The Population", which are really great to hear. I really hope this WON'T be their last album ever (as we can see in other bands/groups greatest hits albums which mean their FINAL album).

3.0 out of 5 stars Classics, but no classics!!,
This is the album to get if you wish to get a good taste of the Red Hot Chili Peppers in their new found musical direction. For those who wish to "funk out" this is not for you!
The album has all the essential chill out songs which have made the Chili Peppers a household names. There is a perfect blend of the classic songs form "Blood Sugar Sex Magic", "Californication" and "By The Way". No doubt the style of these songs has been deliberately chosen to make the album very accessible for the old and young who whish to by some Red Hot Chili Peppers. The only thing that I frown upon in this selection is the order in which the songs have been placed - all the well known songs have been placed first. This may make album seem a bit dull after the first 4 songs - since it lacks any "hits" after this point (with the exception of "By The Way" and "Fortune Faded" - and people may wish to turn off.
My advice is don't! There are songs on this album which give people a taste of what the Chili's used to be - but without scaring people off. There are echoes of the funk days in "Suck My Kiss" and "Higher Ground" both of these off their early Frusciante days following the death of their original guitarist Hillel Slovak.
If you do wish to get a better taste of the pre-Frusciante days then "What Hits?" is for you not this album!!! Its on the "The Uplift Mofo Party Plan" where the best Chili's stuff is to be found. I think its sad that they have almost totally overlooked their past...
Also although not true Red Hot Chili Peppers material I would have liked to have seen some of John Frusciante's recent solo work on here as it is truly the best music he has written!

5.0 out of 5 stars "Never heard so much brilliant music on one album. Priceless,
Adrian Hoskins (Portsmouth, England) - See all my reviews
Red Hot Chili Peppers
Greatest Hits
Review by Adrian Hoskins
I'm an old git. Been into rock since the 60's man. Heard a stack of brilliant sounds, and a whole lotta crap besides. So why am I writing a Chili Peppers review ? Because this is the most exciting, energetic and essential album since Led Zeppelin One. And if you ain't got that, you ain't got nothing......
Chili Peppers are musically at least twenty levels above anyone else I can think of -
Kiedis' inventive lyrics and stunning vocals, Flea's inspirational bass, Chad's stonking drums, Frusciante's magical guitar licks, and Rubin's brilliant production make it worthwhile investing in a new sound system just for this album.
Impossible to pick a favourite track - Under the Bridge, Californication, Scar Tissue, Other side, By the Way, Soul to Squeeze, Parallel Universe, Higher Ground, Universally Speaking, Breaking the Girl, Save the Population ? Never heard so much brilliant music on one album. Priceless.
"sometimes I feel like I don't have a partner, sometimes I feel like my only friend is the city I live in, the city of angels, lonely as I am, together we cry"
"these smiling eyes are just a mirror for the sun"
"autumn's sweet, we call it fall, I'll make it to the moon if I have to crawl, and with the birds I'll share this lonely view..."

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant!,
Meg "Funky Monk" (Hemel Hempstead, England) - See all my reviews
This compellation is an excellent collection of the greatest Chilis hits since 'mothers milk'(RHCP's 4th album.)i really enjoy listening to this album as it is a veriety of chilis stuff but all great chili peppers including the favourites - by the way, under the bridge, give it away, californication, my friends, higher ground and many more! it also incudes the non album track Soul to Squeeze and the new (2003) songs Fortune faded (which is regularly played live) and Save the population.
The booklet inside includes messages from the band who talk about thier influences and band pictures. This is a must have for a chilis fan or even someone that has only heard a couple of chilis songs!

5.0 out of 5 stars 20 years and still rocking their socks off...,
By A Customer
... it's probably a good thing that they wear more clothes nowadays, then.
I can understand why a lot of people would be disappointed with this album, but as a fan I think it's great. I was a little shocked to find that 'Aeroplane' wasn't on the album; granted, 'One Hot Minute' was always apparently a disappoitning album although I thought it was great.
There's a nice variety of some of their older, sexier stuff to their newer toned down ballads and funk rock tracks that really show the coming of age of the band. Personally I think it's great they've lasted the whole time and are hopefully going to release a new album in the next year or so.
It's a great introduction to some of the best works of Anthony & Co and a celebration of 20 years of funky music for the veteran fan. All in all I think it's fantastic and the only changed I'd make to it were to put in a couple more tracks on the hits album; I don't mind that much though, because the ones that aren't on the Hits disc are on the Videos disc! :D

4.0 out of 5 stars Funky Monks,
M. Waxman "marcwaxman" - See all my reviews
I have been a fan of the peppers since around the time of the release of Mother's Milk, and immediately connected with their funk philosophy. I rushed out to buy their previous three albums and loved them all.
I have to say that I have never been disappointed with a Chili Peppers album - they have been with me through some of my best times and worst times in the last 15 years and I feel I have grown with them.
As the band has matured, they have lost that raw funkiness that I connected with in the beginning but they did still manage to make superb albums. Every single one of them.
The thing with this Greatest Hits album is that it contains none of the tracks that would convert a fair weather fan into an ardent fan - after all isn't this who this album is for? I assume that people that purchase Greatest Hits albums are those people that liked a couple of singles and want to explore further.
If you want to explore the Chilis more, avoid this album! Buy BloodSugarSexMagik instead. The tracks that are missing are startling and those on here are only very good - not outstanding!!
You won't be disappointed with this album, you just won't get a true insight into what this band really is capable of...
As far as my own feelings of this album are concerned - I think it is synical commercialism gone mad. Why should I buy an album for one track (I buy all albums and singles)???

3.0 out of 5 stars th eold days,
Mr. Tj Phillips - See all my reviews
In light of recent success (which is undoubtedly deserved), it seems that we have forgotten where they originaly came from and what they were about. Current day Red Hot Chili PEpper music is accessable to everyone, whatever your prefered genre. Yet, if one obsereved their roots, the Red Hot Chili Peppers were a more specialised band and it took a certain amount devosion to rebelion to appreciate their earlier period, and that we when they made their best music.
I completely agree that their recent stuff is brilliant, but we have forgotten, esspecially in this current, suposed "Greatest Hits" album that they made really good classic stuff. I talk about "Fight Like A Brave", "Backwoods", "Good Tiem Boys" "Hollywood" and many, many others.
Yet not only have they missed out those old classics, they seemed to have completely forgotten about modern hits such as "Can't Stop" and "Around the World", and what ever happened to "Aeroplane"?
I give this album three starts because they have remembered to put in some brilliant songs and because the Red Hot Chili Peppers are brilliant, but this album just doesn't deserve any more than that. I would not recomend buying this album if you are new to the RHCP's. I would advise Blood Sex Sugar Magic or Californication or their debu album Red Hot Chili Peppers

4.0 out of 5 stars The Best Of...,
M. A. Smith - See all my reviews
Yep, this album has all the greatest hits from 1991-2002 (apart from Higher Ground [1989] which is in there for legal reasons), and what a fantastic selection. I don't think there are any duff tracks and you even get two previously unreleased songs. If you have'nt heard the Chilis before, this is a perfect place to start.
To clarify the last reviewer's comment about suitability, it has a parental advisory sticker for strong language and adult lyrics.

Thermal-hydraulic challenges in the design of the following four Generation IV fast reactor concepts are presented: sodium \[sodium-cooled fast reactor (SFR)\], lead \[lead-cooled fast reactor (LFR)\], gas \[gas-cooled fast reactor (GFR)\], and liquid salt \[liquid salt-cooled fast reactor (LSFR)\]. The supercritical carbon dioxide Brayton cycle in indirect mode is the candidate power cycle for all coolants except gas, which is direct cycle. Thermal-hydraulic considerations must be closely integrated with neutronic analysis to properly control reactivity feedbacks, particularly that of the coolant density coefficient. The thermal-hydraulic performance of all reactors is compared to the sodium concept, which has superior performance because of the inherent properties of sodium. The chemical incompatibility of sodium with water and air remains a concern, should a steam generator tube or other sodium line leak. Challenges in steady-state operation, transient performance, shutdown heat removal, and loss-of-coolant-accident design accommodation in gas reactors are reviewed.

Monrovia — Members of the House of Representative are determined to launch a full scale offensive on the Senate and the Executive in an effort to ensure that the US$73Million they proposed to be used for the development of the communities they represent be realized.
Legislative sources told FrontPageAfrica that the House would on Tuesday recoil into five-day emergency break to launch a five-day nationwide consultancy with their various constituencies in an effort to educate their people on the reasons why they insist on allotting the US$73Million in the FYI 2014/2015 national budget.
It can be recalled that House Speaker Alex Tyler on Thursday told members of the House that the budget presented to that august body was a symbolic one and as far as he was concerned there was no budget before the legislature.
Speaker Tyler and other members of the House were angry over the decision of the Senate to trash out the US$73 Million with the Speaker accusing hidden hands of influencing the senate's decision to throw the bill out. "I think it is appropriate to stop playing politics and sit around the table where all of us can reason," said Rep. Tyler (Bomi-UP).
"The budget we talk about today is the budget of the Liberian people; nobody can be prioritized over the Liberian people and as a government and responsible and intelligent as some of us are, if we have an issue to be discussed."
The legislature is determined to see theUS$73Million included in the budget desperately and sources are hinting FrontPageAfrica that any attempt by the executive to force the hand of members of the Senate to stifle the proposal, there are going to be dire consequences.
"I don't care what happens this money has to be included in the budget. If we have not been united before as lawmakers of the lower house on anything; we are united on this one. Any attempt to force it will lead to a complete shutdown of the government," our one legislative source that chose to remain anonymous said.
During Thursday's session shows that the House is united in its quest to see the US$73M included in the budget and hardline lawmakers including Rep. Edwin M. Snowe (INDP-District#6-Montserrado County) thinks the amount is just a minute portion of what should be allotted for the development of the counties.
"Mr. Speaker, we have the authority to appropriate the six hundred million dollars in the entire budget if the Liberian people can trust us with the entire budget, why question us for giving back 73 to our people for development," he said during Thursday's debate on the issue.
Continued Snowe: "We have an obligation to our people, let's not be deterred if it will mean we stay here until October when they are having elections before we pass that so be it but the Liberian people must benefit. We are not asking for salary increase, new vehicles or for us to go implement projects we are saying put the money in the budget the executive Branch will implement the projects through their respective agencies and Ministries".
Rep. Gabriel Smith of Grand Bassa (INDP-District #2) thinks the executive is pulling some strings with the senate, which is counterproductive to the growth and development of the people who elected them.
"What the Senate is doing is calculated and it is a calculated attempt to perpetuate that philosophy that puts others in a state of nobodies," he said. "There are places in this country Mr. Speaker our brothers and sisters will never have an opportunity to sit in a classroom if we do not take this stand so in conclusion the House is on the right trajectory."
Last Wednesday, President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf submitted the draft national budget in the amount of US$557m to the legislature. The new austerity budget cuts wastes in government and channels more funds to infrastructure development as set out in the Agenda for Transformation, according to the Ministry of Finance.
The President submitted the budget consistent with the Section 11.1 of the Public Financial Management Act of 2009 and it is the last cycle of spending under austere conditions in the three-year Medium Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF) introduced in 2012.
"This draft Budget calls for a period of national sacrifice - a sacrifice that calls for better efficiency in the allocation of available resources - as government combines aggressive revenue generation with careful debt management and scaled up spending in security, energy and the road network," said President Johnson Sirleaf in her budget statement issued last Wednesday.
Since the submission of the budget, there has been wrangling between the two branches of the legislature. If the Senate and the House do not find a common ground on this US$73M issue legislative sources that begged not to be named are predicting a standoff that would lead the government up a fiscal cliff that would lead to a total shutdown.

Willimantic, Conn. - Eastern Connecticut State University will host its third annual Veteran's Day Challenge from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Nov. 11. The event consists of a demanding one-mile run, 100 pull-ups, 200 push-ups and 300 air squats, followed by another one-mile run. Participants can compete as teams of four or individually, and can increase the number of points received by wearing a 10-or 20-pound weight vest. Prizes will be awarded for first, second or third place.
The Veterans Day Challenge competition is based on the workout of Medal of Honor recipient and Navy Seal Lt. Michael Murphy, who was killed in action during a tour in Afghanistan. The Navy Medal of Honor website describes his sacrifice in his biography: "Murphy is credited with risking his own life to save the lives of his teammates. Murphy, intent on making contact with headquarters, but realizing it would be impossible in the extreme terrain where they were fighting, with complete disregard for his own life, moved into the open, where he could gain a better position to transmit a call to get help for his men."
The Veterans Day Challenge is the main source of funding for the Veteran's Scholarship Fund, which, once endowed, will help military, veteran and dependent students at Eastern fund their education. Each team is encouraged to raise at least $100 to donate to the fund.
The Veterans Day Challenge is also conducting an art contest, with the winner being honored for how well he or she express what the military means. For more information or to register, contact the VETS Center on campus by emailing firstname.lastname@example.com or call 860-465-0402.

Sure the interest rate was low but if you missed a payment that rate jumps to (are you ready for this) 29.99%. That's robbery. In addition to that, the cash advance fee, the normal every day cash advance fee is 19.99%. Why would you ever take out a cash advance on a credit card? But people do it all the time and this, among other reasons, is why people find it hard to get ahead or make ends meet. There is no other way to say it than this is a stupid thing to do.
Ok fine I'm all for personal responsibility and if you miss a payment there should be a price to pay but what if you miss a payment on something else like your utility bill, should your credit card interest rate increase? Well some cards will do that to you, it's called universal default and a proposed bill in congress will end that form of thievery.
Now I'm not saying that it's ok to miss payments or that you should be given a free ride but accidents happen and one company shouldn't punish you for a mistake with another especially if that was a one time event.
An article at Marketwatch.com gives details of three bills designed to protect the consumer (you and me) from predatory lending as well as exorbitant or hidden fees. It's a good article in the sense that it should open your eyes to just how you might be losing out on things you could avoid.
For instance many people think that overdraft protection is a good idea and would be if it wasn't just another way for banks to make money on your carelessness. The law would require banks to tell you when you're about to overdraw your account at an ATM for example. This way if you still decide to take the money, and pay the overdraft fee, that was your decision no matter how dumb it was.
On a political note these two paragraphs stuck me:
"Consumers no doubt like the idea of fewer credit-card rate hikes, but will any of these bills make it into law? After all, Frank and other Democratic lawmakers introduced these bills to the Republican-controlled House Financial Services Committee.
"Some say the committee's history of bipartisanship means these bills have a chance. 'The committee is one of the few actual bipartisan committees. We work with majority staff an awful lot,' said Steve Adamske, spokesman for the committee's Democratic staff."
Imagine that lawmakers actually working together. This isn't a tug of war. This is a group of people elected to represent us. If they can't work together than something is wrong.

Coach Woodson is in a very tough spot balancing Carmelo Anthony's minutes. Once again, after carrying a heavy load for the first three quarters, Melo failed to have a major scoring impact during the critical last minutes of the game. Anthony scored 17 points in the first quarter and had 32 points through the first three frames.
Despite playing every minute of the fourth and overtime, Anthony could only muster four more points. The effort is always there but at this point it's clear that there's a little fatigue towards the end of game that is having an effect on his shot.

Rated 4 out of 5Â by serafina So stylish I had been eying these shoes for awhile, especially since the ivory color was sold out in my size very quickly. I am anywhere from 9-10 depending on the shoe; I have wide feet and I generally wear a 9.5 or 10 if it's not a sandal or flip-flop. So one day while perusing fp.com I discovered that a size 10 was available and jumped on it. The shoes fit perfectly and they are so cute! They go with anything and the spiked detail is just enough, not too overdone. Sadly, I did get a blister on my heel when wearing them, which is strange because I couldn't wear any other size...anyhow, I'm willing to stick it out and buy some Dr. Scholl's pads to protect from blisters because I love these too much to give them up. :) 8.24.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by cryl Spike loafer amazing These loafers are awesome a little tight at first, My feet are not wide so they fit fine till a little while after wearing with no socks of course is when the started to feel tight but i am sure they will loosen up. But are well made and look great with jeans. I am so happy with my purchase just wish the had the white ones to. 1.14.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Vita So much fun! Easy and casual, or business with attitude! They are fun to wear and I get a lot of compliments. They are very well made, and the leather inside is so soft. They are a little stiff out of the box, but I wore them one day and they felt broke in. I usually get an 8.5 or 9, but I ordered a 9.5 right away. They fit great, with or without socks. They are just right for my tomboy outfits, wish they had my size left in white! 8.17.2012
Rated 4 out of 5Â by MikaylaMcGoff Amazing! These are so cute, but they do run small, so take a size or size and a half up. I'm normally an 8.5/9 in flats, I ordered the 9, and had to size up to a 9.5... Very comfortable, very nice quality, but quite small. Worth it! 6.16.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by jinger0930 Sized up I usually wear a 6 in Jeffrey Campbell shoes. When I purchased these, they only had a 7 left so I went with it, thinking I could just throw on some cute socks. Luckily, these must really run small because they fit only a little bit big. I can even wear them comfortably without socks. This was a surprise since I tried a 7 in the JC litas an they were huge on me. Glad they brought these back. I'll probably pick up the white ones too in a 6 1/2 6.14.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by NinjaGirl Go up 1/2 size Very nicely made loafers. The leather is thick and the stitching is even. Shiny bright spike detailing sets off the ivory leather. Tight in the toe box so go up 1/2 size if in between. Love these shoes! 4.2.2012
Rated 3 out of 5Â by H23m7 adorable but VERY uncomfortable These shoes are super cute but unfortunately they are extremely uncomfortable, the first time I wore them they gave me soars all over my feet. Hopefully they will get more comfortable with each wear. 2.17.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by valskerie A Punk Rock Loafer! The coolest loafer ever! I first saw these on the FP website, but my size in the ivory color wasn't available... Fortunately, I tracked a pair down on another site (avoided paying tax and shipping) and am in love with these shoes! I don't usually pay this much for shoes, but these are of excellent quality: made with thick leather, a solid sole, and padding inside. I bought my true size which fits me great. I can't wait to wear these with my adorable FP dot slip or my black Phoenix tunic and jeans! 2.13.2012

Willie Nelson delivers Family Farm Disaster Funds in Iowa
The farmers met with Willie on the bus. Farmers Mark Anderson and Barbara Grant brought lovely organic vegetables from their farm for Willie, his wife Annie, two sons and crew.
The farmers, Willie and Annie had a thoughtful conversation about the impact of the flood on farmers and on the environment. The gathering gave people hope that this flood can bring more people together to create a stronger and better sustainable agriculture in Iowa that delivers good food for all.
Earlier in the day Willie gratefully accepted a check from Mark Stanley, who represented Best Buy as they donated $10,000. With an additional donation of $25,000 from WhiteWave, makers of Horizon Organic and Silk Soymilk, and donations from people like YOU, Farm Aid has raised $50,000 so far for the Family Farm Disaster Fund!
We are preparing to give grants to the other states hit by rain and floods, including WI, IN, IL, and MO.

Sakis Pizzeria was established on August 5, 1982 and was founded by owner Dionisios (Dennis) Sampalis.

The small family business was opened in one of Providence's oldest historic buildings, across the street from the Providence Preforming Arts Center and Johnson & Wales University. In 2010, after years of planning, the Sampalis family undertook the renovations of the historic building and the restaurant, transforming Sakis Pizzeria to include a full service pizzeria, bar and grille.
Today, as you enter the pizzeria, a winding staircase leads you to the new mezzanine overlooking Weybosset Street, where our clientele can enjoy a few drinks while sampling our new menu and watching a sports game. Our redesigned menu features new items and old favorites including specialty pizzas, salads, wraps, paninis, grinders, pasta dishes, club sandwiches, various seafood platters, Greek sandwiches and Greek pastries.
We take pride in every dish that leaves our kitchen and hope that Sakis Pizzeria is and will continue to be your neighborhood choice for dining in or taking out.
We greatly appreciate our loyal customers that we have been serving since 1982 and look forward to impressing our new customers!
We thank you for your business and continued support!!

BOSTON - The Boston University men's basketball team went on a decisive 23-5 run to open the second half, erasing an eight-point halftime deficit, and the Terriers held on to defeat New Hampshire, 63-56, at Case Gymnasium on Sunday afternoon (Feb. 10).
Junior forward Billy Collins (Concord, NH) started the Terriers' second-half point-scoring spree with a three-pointer to cut the Wildcat lead to three points at 39-36. Junior guard Paul Seymour (Liverpool, NY) followed with another three-pointer to tie the score at 39-39 with 14:13 left. Seymour then gave the Terriers their first lead of the game at 41-39 with a jumper just inside the arc along the right baseline.
B. U., which shot only 29.4 percent in the first half, continued its offensive onslaught with another three-pointer by Collins to give the Terriers a 44-41 advantage. Sophomore guard Kevin Fitzgerald (Belle Harbor, NY) and freshman forward Rashad Bell (Queens, NY) then brought the crowd to its feet with a Bell alley-oop dunk off a baseline inbounds play. Collins put an exclamation point on the run with a dunk of his own off an offensive rebound to extend the lead to 48-41. Senior forward Stijn Dhondt (Bornem, Belgium) made a right wing three-pointer to give the Terriers their largest lead of the game at 51-41 with 10:31 left.
"I'm very proud of the way our kids fought back out of that early deficit," said Terrier head coach Dennis Wolff, whose team assured itself of a winning overall record with the victory. "We kept our composure and made a bunch of plays down the stretch. Both [sophomore forward] Jason Grochowalski and Paul Seymour have played well in our last three games. Collins made a couple of good plays to begin the second half, and we had a lot of energy.
"I told our guys at halftime that we had shot only 29 percent and they had outrebounded us," continued Wolff. "But we were only down by seven points, so we were still in the game, which is where we needed to be." The Terriers were outrebounded, 27-16 in the first half, but each team had 22 boards in the second half.
New Hampshire (10-14, 7-6) made just one of its 12 shots during B. U.'s decisive run, and finished the game shooting just 32.7 percent. After scoring 38 first-half points, UNH managed just 18 in the second half.
The Wildcats opened the game with a 13-0 run in the first 4:04. Sophomore guard Marcus Bullock made three three-pointers from the left side during the run. B. U. slowly shot itself back into the game thanks to the long ball. The Terriers' first 15 points were scored on three-pointers, and the two teams combined to make 11 treys in the first 10 minutes of action.
The Terriers cut the lead to 30-27 on a three-pointer from freshman guard Chaz Carr with 3:59 left in the half, but UNH senior forward Chris Brown made a late top-of-the-key three-pointer to extend the Wildcat lead to 38-31 at the intermission.
Collins led the Terriers with 14 points and nine rebounds. Bell finished with 12 points, and Seymour had 11. UNH was paced by senior forward Austin Ganly, who had 14 points. Brown had 12 points and a career-high 20 rebounds. Overall, the Wildcats outrebounded the Terriers, 49-38, but B. U. had the advantage in turnovers, 21-9.
The Terriers (15-9, 9-3) play three of their remaining four games at home, with the next coming on Thursday, Feb. 14, when they host Northeastern at Case Gym. The Terriers won the earlier matchup between the two teams, 95-88, in overtime. Game time is 7 p.m.

What a great idea! Being an R/C nerd I totally want to make something like that, but the effect of 3 people flying together is really cool, so who's with me? I assume some of the footage was shot from that drone they showed for a moment.
Three human shaped RC planes were flown around New York City to create the illusion of people flying. Lots of fun.

G/top and those like it are good for some things but not for a

Replace name-of-process with the name of the process you are

COMMENTARY: Two Stories Spark Questions
Pimento Cheese Sandwiches, Judge Clinard And Albert Camus

Gotta hand it to them…I guess it means that if you find your roomie injured, you need to give him mouth to mouth or something.
I only have a filter for people who do not consistently beg to be belittled, ridiculed, insulted, and demeaned.
I may believe people, as a whole, should be treated fairly but I also believe those same people are idiots.
...a solider who leaves an injured comrade on the battlefield.
Quote from: Brad the Bold on January 31, 2014, 04:41:49 PM...a solider who leaves an injured comrade on the battlefield.huh. "They knew he was watching porn and they did nothing." Those heartless bastards. How could they just leave him hanging like that? Aside from the whole premise being completely absurd, I thought the implication was they should have helped out their roommate by giving him a happy ending. I'm pretty sure that's in the book of Moroni.

Belotero is injectable dermal filler approved by the FDA and administered by The Center for Skin and Cosmetic Dermatology. The main appeal of Belotero is its ability to fill in fine lines, such as crow's feet and smile lines. This makes it a popular choice for patients looking to improve any area of fine lines on the face or neck, including scars. As with all dermal fillers, patients are treated at any of our Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex office.
How Does Belotero Work?
Belotero, like our other treatment Juvéderm, is made with a very versatile compound called hyaluronic acid, commonly called HA. HA is a naturally occurring substance within the human body, and it has a range of medical uses, including treatments for joint disorders and osteoarthritis, and even uses during certain eye surgeries. In Belotero, HA adapts to the contours of your face during a dermal injection, softening lines and wrinkles in those most common areas – around the mouth and nose. HA binds with water, filling in these tell-tale aging signs, reducing the appearance of crows' feet and aging wrinkles.
Belotero can reduce visible lines along the following major face lines:
Smile Lines:
Called nasolabial folds, these lines are creases that complete the outline of your mouth when you smile. They run from the side of your nose to the edges of your mouth, and while everyone loves a smile, as you age, smile lines tend to make you look older, grumpy, or even tired. Let Belotero provide a softening, corrective touch to these lines to look younger.
Vertical Lip Lines:
When you smile, these little lines form wrinkles above your lips. Called "perioral lines" in the medical industry, these lines form when volume is lost in the skin around your mouth and most often show up when you smile. These lines are usually difficult to repair, but Belotero's special formula can help reduce them.
Corners of Your Mouth:
Corners of your mouth, called oral commissures professionally, often show pronounced appearances of aging, more than any other single facial feature. As you age, your face loses volume in this area, making the corners appear downturned, which results in a sad or frowning expression, even if you are perfectly content. Worse still, these lines often lead into frown lines, giving an even greater frowning effect.
Frown Lines:
Comically called marionette lines, frown lines give the appearance of frowning. They run down the face from the corners of the mouth, and turn into deeper creases as you age. When coupled with deepening lines from the corners of your mouth, the appearance of frowns or sadness is exaggerated. Don't be down – let our trained staff help you, with a Belotero injection to minimize wrinkles and lines.
Recovery time from the Belotero procedure is minimal, patients walk out of our offices after the procedure and are typically back at work the next day. Use the form on this page to get in touch Dr. Malouf and our team of highly trained doctors so that we create a procedure that is right for you and your skin.

Hospital Negligence
When we go to a hospital or medical center, we are very reliant upon the expertise of the staff to provide us with safe care. While physicians may orchestrate the medical care, it is incumbent upon the support staff to carry though the physicians' orders and provide patients with assistance throughout the course of their admission.Hospital Staff Failing to Following Physicians' Orders
Every patient deserves to receive medical care in a clean and well-run hospital. However, at some hospitals, there simply is a broken system where errors result in harm to the patient. Examples of systematic hospital errors include:
- Administering the wrong medication
- Performing the wrong medical procedure on a patient
- Allowing bed sores or pressure sores to develop during an admission
- Failing to follow physician orders
- Using outdated or broken equipment (wheelchairs, beds, tables, ect.)
- Failing to protect patients from physical harm from intruders or staff
- Giving patients the wrong food
In addition to errors due to inadequate hospital policy, the negligence of individual staff members such as nurses and orderlies may cause or contribute to a patient injury. Examples of individual staff negligence that commonly translates into serious injury or death of the patient includes:
- Dropping patients
- Failing to provide assistance during transfers into and out of bed
- Improperly drawing blood
- Pushing patients in wheelchairs into walls and elevator doors
One of the largest safety issues that hospitals have is preventing patient falls. A study done by the Flex Monitoring Team showed that falls account for 84% of all inpatient incidents. 30% of these hospital falls are thought to result in serious injuries. These falls happen often to negligence on the part of the hospital including:
- Inadequate assistance devices for the patient
- Not preparing for medication side-effects
- Inattentive or understaffed medical team
Patients that are fall victims in the hospital tend to have longer stays and larger medical bills. The total medical costs are 60% higher for those who have a fall in the hospital and it is expected that these costs will reach over $54 billion!Understanding the Facts and Applying Them to the Law
Even if the circumstances regarding a patient's injury during a hospitalization are unclear, Rosenfeld Injury Lawyers will investigate the matter and provide you with answers surrounding the incident. Once there is some clarity regarding the facts, we can then work with the hospital's risk manager on a settlement or proceed to a lawsuit against the medical institution and its employees.Medical Malpractice Attorneys in Chicago Who Aren't Afraid to Fight For Your Rights
Rosenfeld Injury Lawyers handles hospital negligence cases on a contingency basis in Chicago and other cities within Illinois. While many attorneys understandably shy away from medical malpractice cases as simply being too difficult and time consuming, every lawyer in our office has experience both settling and trying medical negligence cases. We are not afraid to go the distance for your case.
