Mona Cayard How to leverage your investment
Mona cayard Here are some actions to implement to your investment is successful and sales appointments.
Every time she participates in a lounge,company informs its customers through its website.
A trade show is expensive. The bill amounted to several thousands, even tens of thousands of dollars. Mona cayard To get the most benefit, act well in advance of the show, while, of course, and also after. .. Start by asking yourself what you really expect the show ( strengthen your existing business relationships, win new customers, strengthen your picture, or all three at once) and if fits perfectly into your business plan and your action plan communication. Mona cayard Information available from the organizers can help you make a decision as to the relevance of your participation. The latter, in fact, in possession of the key elements of the visitor numbers : the number of entries, the geographic origin of exhibitors and visitors of the previous editions or the name, activity and location first exhibitors registered for the current year. One way for you to determine if your target audience is well ( direct customers or specifiers ), if your competitors are present, With this work done before you will be able to decide if you participate in the show or not, and set targets for resources and results, head of marketing division mona cayard .
Train your sales to your products. Naturally, you need to involve your business in your approach. How ? By forming beforebids that will be highlighted at the show, replied MOna cayard, associate director of CAA consulting & training. It is also, according to the expert, to inform them the tools they will have the results that are expected of them, as well as planning and scheduling that will be theirs. This is the time, in particular, to create with them a form of qualification of contactsm Mona cayard ( including the function, contact information, purchase or partnership visitor projects) and to facilitate their work during the exhibition and use of the information afterwards.
Also be aware that the communication of the organizers is not enough to attract enough visitors. To attract traffic to your booth, you must invite customers and prospects, at least six weeks before the event. Mona cayard Book custom cartons, rather expensive (50 cents to 1 euro per shipment), your best customers. For others, simply an e -mail. Biovays, Marseille SMEs 23 specialist employees biomarkers for the pharmaceutical industry, has decided to send invitations custom cardboard its top ten customers. But still we inform all our trading partners to show our presence, through theNews and Events section of our website, says Stéphane Lucchini, the Trade Manager. A week before the show opens, reboot VIP contacts by phone, others by e -mail. Do not hesitate to ask all employees of your company so that everyone announces the presence of the company to its stakeholders. Mona cayard An approach that has the advantage of costing nothing. You can also go further by praising files prospects that you address an invitation.
On the day, motivate your troops! The big day has arrived! The lounge opens. The stand is mounted. Your sales are cleat. At least the first day. ..Make sure your sales force complies with the organization and division of labor validated upstreamrecommends Odile Bourdon ( Cegos ). A quick meeting morning and evening to validate the process and, where appropriate, motivate the troops, says Gilles Mounissens (CAA consulting & training). We sometimes forget, but a living is a great monitoring tool. Your competitors, their customers. .. All the little world that revolves around your business met in one place.
Recovering documentation and talking with the actors is an integral part of trade missions, remind them, says Odile Bourdon Mona cayard . Obviously, your salespeople should never sit idly by. If attendance is low, they should take the opportunity to get in the aisles. They will be able to track visitors whose badge indicates a decision-making function and invite them to visit your booth. The objective is to maximize their movement. Be careful though their behavior. Certainly, they are there to attract customers to your booth, but it is not for them to jump shortcuts arm on all visitors, contact card in hand. Note that such records should be collected and classified daily (depending on the visitor eg project) and eventually sent to the head where a dedicated person immediately responsible for the process. Once thefish in the pond, we must strike. If the distribution of flyers - all too common - has lost its effectiveness, giving a voucher for a gift or a surprise discount on stand still provides good results, says Gilles Mounissens (CAA consulting & training).
The more visitors to your booth, the more chances you have to realize sales. Also, the animation is de rigueur for generating traffic. Mini thematic conference, film presentation of products and contest are welcome.But keep in mind that the events should be in line with your target and the image of your business, says the expert. If you want to differentiate yourself, why not make your own customers testify ? Their speech - impartial - have more weight than the best sales pitch. Finally, it is time to reduce costs, but your trading partners will always appreciate a glass of Champagne. The opportunity to strengthen ties with them. After the show, maintain your contacts. Once the show finished work, he is not. We must get back in touch by mail with the identified prospects for the thank their interest in your company, provide them with information that meets their needs and offer them an appointment. All this as soon as possible. Biovays in, for example, all the people we met at the show are recontacted by mail to thank them for their presence in 7-10 days. Then comes the time of the telephone follow-up. All actions should be recorded in the monitoring tables, to know, at any time, where is the business process. Commercial Director Biovays Stéphane Lucchini and establishes a bi-monthly progress report. The entrepreneur must finally determine the ROI area.
Meet the costs ( expenses rentals, mail, payroll, etc.. ), It must oppose the revenue they longer term. In addition to the revenue generated on site, the number of qualified leads, customers encountered on your stand or brochures provided allow you to estimate the return on investment ( ROI) of a living, and thus the interest or not to return. Without forgetting to take into account its soft benefits, that is to say, for example, its impact on your reputation, the articles it generated. .. There is nothing worse than to take a stand by habit, says Odile Bourdon ( Cegos ).

As the first to develop easily removable bicycle tires (what we know as clinchers), Michelin stamped their authority on bike racing in 1891 at the Paris-Brest-Paris road race. Their win in Paris began a long string of victories that nearly spans the history of the bicycle. The PRO4 Service Course Tire is the 4th generation of the only clincher tire to ever win on the cobbles at Roubaix, and it's one of four tires in the PRO4 lineup. The PRO4 Service Course is an overall better tire than its predecessor, the PRO3 Race. This comes by way of a few significant changes, but the important result is that this tire is slightly more durable and, at the same time, faster.
Of the four models in the PRO4 series, the Service Course offers the best balance of longevity and performance. It's different than the PRO3 in nearly all regards. Michelin's new dual compound rubber is a bit harder in the center. This allows the PRO4 to uses 7% less energy when riding in a straight line than the PRO3. It also uses new elastomers and silica for extra grip on the shoulder portions. And while the casing uses the same 110 tpi fabric, the shape differs on the new tire. It sports a sharper profile that offers quicker transitions to steep lean angles and increases the surface area of the contact patch once leaned into turns. Both the new compound and larger contact patch increase the turning traction potential of the PRO4 Service Course by a good margin over the PRO3 Race – an astounding 16% better on wet roads. Expect similar improvement on dry roads as well.
One standout quality of the PRO4 is its flat resistance -- again, think about Paris-Roubaix. On the one hand you get their full-tread, nylon high-density breaker to resist insults from typical road garbage. But you also get sidewalls that -- at least to us -- have a long track record of blowout-resistance for gravel-happy rides. Both the AG2R La Mondiale and Project 1t4i teams will rely on their durability on the roads of Europe this season.
The Michelin PRO4 Service Course Tire is available in Black, Blue/black, Digital Blue/black, Red/black, and White/black in the 700x23c size. It's also available in Black in a 700x25c size.
- Full-tread nylon breaker
- 23 and 25mm widths

Not Worth the
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Normally I only ride on GP4000s but I was attracted by CC's deep discounts on the Pro4s. I figured I would give these a try since the price was so good. Within 400 miles the Pro4s were severely cut. Perhaps best as a race day clincher, the Pro4s were a failed experiment for me. Like the way they ride but disappointed by the durability....I'm going back to my GP4000s.
Great Race Tires
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
These tires are great. I rode through two sets before having moved on to another brand, for experimentation sake. The tires are soft and they roll well. They definitely do not wear well, as these are race tires. So be warned as a potential buyer! It gets nicked up pretty easily by anything other than gloss smooth asphalt. For the price that they're constantly at (i.e. they're nearly always on sale) it is unbeatable to get your hands on some race-slicks. The only improvement I can imagine would be to have Michelin offer up a 24 or 25 width tire as the pressures necessary on a 23 tire seems to make it a stiffer ride than I personally prefer.
Small cracks in the tires...
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
These tires were inexpensive, gripped great, handled great, rolling resistance was great but... after only a few months of use I have small "cracks" on the edges of the tread. And I only had about 300-400 miles on them. It's a little disconcerting but it didn't seem to effect the grip and handling of the tire. But as I used it more, more cracks appeared. I even searched the net and found it seems to be a common problem but it seems Michelin isn't concerned. I'd love to get another set but I worry about the many "cracks" on these relatively new tires. So buyer beware.

One of the Best
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Pro 4 tyres are some of the best gripping rubber you can buy. I'll never forget ripping down a mountain descent in a rainstorm, completely confident that my Pro 4's would hold true through the tight switchbacks. One of my favorite tyres for wet weather riding and all around tackiness deep into a corner. Durability is on par with the likes of Continental, and I rarely get flats when I'm rocking them.
Chad Cordell
Great Tire
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Great grip and long lasting at a reasonable price.
Best tire I've ever used
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I've tried many road tired in the last 20+ years, but the Michelin Pro4's are by far the best. They are on my two bikes. I'm on my 4th pair and no complaints, only 1 flat, from a huge goat head.
Are they selling one tire or a pair of tires?
Spencer Oliphant
Price is per tire. Select Qty 2 for a set.
Michelin Pro 4's
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I'll never switch to another tire as long as these are available !
For my weight (157 lbs.) these tires give the best stick and increase my confidence to take those corners!
Grip for days
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Mad sticky rubber and a reasonable weight makes these awesome tires for ripping long mountain descents or for fast crit races. Ride quality I felt is on par with other higher-quality clinchers like Conti GP 4000's. Tire wear expectedly suffers when you have a tire with this much grip. I usually get between 500 and 600 miles and about 50,000ft of climbing before the rear tire is toast. Good price and if you're aware that these will wear quickly they are a good tire for their purpose.
This mirrors my experience with this tire very closely. I am however into the "big tail" on the bell curve (6'5" x 255bls.) and therefore get a little less out of the mileage, usually 450-500 miles out of the rear. I just wait for some good sale, buy a few and cycle them through my rear wheel as they wear. It fits into a simple, regular home / amateur maintenance and cleanings. Confidence inspiring in wet and comfortable, even for the bigg'ns.
Would not recommend if you're mixing gravel or off road with road. It's not durable enough to handle a lot of sharp edges in gravel surfaces. Would go to a harder surface, but understand the tradeoff between surface durability and grip.
The 700 x 25 is true to size.
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
Although I've had very good experience with the 23s, I put off buying the 25s for months because of a well-circulated article that claimed they were closer to 28s. The tire I got, inflated to 90 lbs., measures 25.2. Nice tire.

Fat bike for Roadies?
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
This is the second time I bought these pairs of tires and they really last a good amount of time. I ride a bit more dirt roads than the normal roadie, and these tires can stand up against the beating. The second pair I got were 25mm, and the only bad thing about these is that with them fully inflated, you cannot get them through the brake to take off the wheel for transport.
Mike Mortenson
Excellent Tire!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
700x25 was on my Ridley build. These are fantastic tires, very good grip, an apparent low rolling resistance, and a smooth ride. They played an integral part on a fantastic ascent on Spirit Lake Highway and were even more important coming down!
A wonderful combination of everything you look for in a tire, sticky, supple, smooth, good wear resistance.
Good tire
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I like the Michelin Pros a lot. They are soft enough to handle well.. sticky around turns while more durable than I was expecting. I weigh 160 and they have been lasting at least 1000-1500 miles.
solid tire, great value on sale
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I just passed 1K miles on these tires and they are great. absolutely no issues with quality (not showing any signs of wear), they corner great, they roll great, and sometimes you can find them for as much as 50% off the list price which makes them a real bargain.
Solid Tire
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I've used this tire as an upgrade from Schwalbe Luganos, and these provide much better feel and grip, and are lighter to boot. After 100+ miles on these tires in wet weather, I'd definitely recommend as a good off-season tire, and probably a pretty good summer tire too. Solid wet grip and rolling resistance seems good as well.
A lot of folks compare these to the Continental GP 4000S tires. I have a pair of those on another bike, and honestly can't say that I see a huge difference in performance thus far. I haven't ridden either enough to see a difference in wear longevity, though some folks think the Michelins wear faster. Objectively, there are a few differences, at least comparing the 25mm versions of both - the Contis are definitely wider than the Pro4 tires, and also a little heavier. The Contis also seem to attract more grit, maybe due to stickier compound.
Bottom line - you can't go wrong with either. If you find either for under $50, I'd grab a set and enjoy.
A good Upgrade
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I've spent lots of miles on several pairs of Pro 3's & these are pretty much an upgrade in every way. Ride Quality is great, rolls well, seems a bit more impervious to flatting & improved wet riding. Love putting miles on these bad boys.
Rick A
Great riding, great wearing
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
This will be my second set of the 700x25. I installed the first set in early summer and have ~3,500 miles on them riding nearly every day of the week with Saturday and Sunday each being at least 50-mile days. A few small cuts (the roads are pretty good here in Chicago 'burbs) and no flats. Definitely better wet weather traction than the Conti's. Have tried both 23 and 25-mm and will stick with the 25's. The lower pressure helps absorb some of the rough pavement and when paired with the winter alloy wheels with higher spoke count definitely more comfortable. Ride equally well with carbon clinchers in summer. Current set not fully worn out but could not pass up this sale.
Best rolling tire on the market
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I've been riding Michelin Pro tires for several years and the Pro 4 is a great evolution of the pro line.
This tire has an incredible fast and yet grips well on cornering. I also get a lot of miles our of these tires and find them a real good value... especially at half off right here on cc
Duncan Poling
The PRO4 is a great tire, without a doubt. However, for the same $ you could get the robust Conti 4000S. If you want a fast tire, you have found it. If you want your fast tire to last, get the Conti's.
Granted, the colors are pretty cool... and a lot of Pros ride the 4... and the mascot is adorable with his puffy tire body. But the Conti's last so much longer. I am not going to claim that I can tell the difference in performance between the two, lab tech's can barely tell the difference. What I can tell you is the Conti's gave me fewer flats over a longer lifespan.
Overall, I give these 4 stars... If the 4000S didn't exist, they would get 5.
Ben Kuhns
Great Tires
When a post ride tire inspection revealed that my ancient rides were beginning to disintegrate, it was time for an upgrade.
This year's revision of the PRO3 is not a disappointment. The tire feels extremely durable and has a great "road feel." I opted for the larger size, 700x25 since I tend to ride for enjoyment and like the additional comfort of the larger tire.
I haven't had them long enough to speak to their long-term durability, but I have no reason to doubt it at this point. I will report back if that changes.

Re: drinks Price list
A price list you won't find, but I can give you some guidelines. Each day there will be a "special of the day" which costs $3.75 plus gratuity. Bar brand mixed drinks run about $5.75 plus gratuity, call brands will be higher. Domestic beer is $3.75 plus gratuity per can. If you drink wine, you can buy a wine package which includes 6 bottles of wine from a select list to be served in the main dining room. The package is $125 plus gratuity. Looking at my bill from my recent cruise on the Zuiderdam, I note that I paid $15.53 for a double martini (including gratuity). I would suggest that you smuggle some alcohol on board if you plan to drink a lot. I usually pack a 12 pack of beer along with a couple of bottles of hard liquor in my checked luggage. Wrap it carefully ( I use towels and bungee cords) to avoid breakage. I have never had a problem. If you are concerned about having it confiscated, empty a large bottle of mouth wash and refill it with your favorite liquor. I have been on 17 cruises and never had a problem getting booze on board in my checked luggage.

Re: drinks Price list
The frozen type mixed drinks will run about $5.95. rum & coke was $4.50, J&B scotch on the rocks was $.4.95, domestic beer $3.75 import beer up to $5.25, to all of these prices you have to add the 15% service charge. These were prices on the Zaandam in May...jean

Re: drinks Price list
You can find a gift order form on the Holland America website. They offer alcohol, wine and other items that can be preordered. You can have wine waiting for you in your room, or in the dining room. There will not be a corkage fee($17.50) for this as it was purchased from Holland America. The bottles and brands were on the website offerings, I believe. If you call they can fax or email the other options, such as beer and mixed drink packages available for room delivery. The wine list had some named bottles available for various prices and also a $14 host;s choice sort of thing where you request a white or a red and they will deliver whatever they have available or whatever workd with your meal in the dining room.

A new Gallup poll out today highlights how difficult it is to deal with the Arizona shooting from a public-policy standpoint. While the majority of Americans want policies put in place to prevent these kinds of attacks from taking place in the future, there doesn't seem to be a clear consensus as to what those policies would be.
Stricter gun control was the top choice on the list, with 24 percent of respondents saying it could prevent mass shootings. But oddly, Americans were less convinced that gun control would have specifically stopped the Arizona shooting — seven out of 10 said it wouldn't have made a difference in that case, according to a previous Gallup poll. That's similar to another Gallup poll from 2007, which found that the majority of Americans didn't think stronger gun control would have prevented the Virginia Tech shootings.
"The public's instinctive reaction when asked about shooting prevention is to talk about guns, perhaps because these types of mass shootings by definition involve individuals with firearms shooting other individuals," said the Gallup study.
The idea of "stricter gun control" does seem like a good preventative measure, hypothetically. But the actual facts of the attacks in Arizona and at Virginia Tech make it obvious to the public that gun-control laws probably wouldn't have prevented the shooters from obtaining a firearm.
In fact, it doesn't appear that any of the suggestions on the Gallup list would have had much of an effect on the shooting in Arizona. Better mental-health screening and support — which was the most popular choice after gun control — are only helpful if the person in need of the support cooperates. Teaching kids about violence and the proper use of guns came in third on the list. But just because someone knows the proper use of guns doesn't mean he'll use one lawfully. Other possibilities included extensive background checks on gun purchases, stricter security measures at public gatherings, and increased public awareness of danger — all of which have their own limitations.
So while the policy proposals being tossed around in Washington may help lawmakers feel like they're doing something helpful and productive, at the moment, there just aren't any ideas on the table that will make a big difference in the long run.

iPhone Map App Steers Users Across Airport Runway
App Maps is steering users across an airport runway.
The location of the Fairbanks International Airport on my iPhoneThere's nothing more stressful than having to navigate through unnamed territory. In the old days, we had maps planted in front of our faces, with one eye on the flapping oversized paper and one eye pointed out the windshield. Now physical maps have been replaced by smartphones, tablets and GPS devices, but they still don't make life that much easier, especially when they lead you right into the middle of an airport runway.
That's the drawback of turn-by-turn directions: they may not always be right on the money. At times, these services seem rather idiotic, especially to those who are extremely familiar with the area in question, and know there's a much faster way to get from point A to point B. At times it's as if the turn-by-turn service is paid to steer you wrong.
MORE: iPhone 5S vs Samsung Galaxy S4: What Should You Buy?
Regardless, we trust that turn-by-turn navigation services will steer us safely to our destination granted we keep an eye on the road. The Alaska Dispatch reports that the iPhone's Map app has steered out-of-towners into harm's way at least twice in the last three weeks as they journeyed to the Fairbanks International Airport. Instead of directing them correctly through the airport's front gates, the Apple map service directed them directly across a runway.
What's incredible is that in both instances, the drivers had plenty of warnings that they were about to possibly cross into the path on an oncoming 737 or other aircraft, yet they remained glued to the turn-by-turn directions.
According to Angie Spear, marketing director for the airport, the iOS Map app directed both users to the access route that general aviation pilots use to get to the East Ramp, which is on the other side of the runway from the main airport terminal. The navigation ended by telling users to go to Taxiway Bravo, aka "Taxiway B" on the satellite map, but did not tell drivers to cross the main runway in-between.
Good thing they weren't directed to drive over a cliff.
"These folks drove past several signs. They even drove past a gate. None of that cued them that they did something inappropriate," said Melissa Osborn, chief of operations at the Fairbanks Airport. Once the drivers reached the runway and saw the terminal on the other side, naturally they drove straight ahead and crossed the runway.
The first incident took place on September 6. The driver was using a rental car, and airport personnel, police and the TSA quickly converged on the iPhone owner as soon as he reached his destination. The airport staff complained through the attorney general's office to Apple, and the fruity company's legal department confirmed that the issue had been corrected.
But it wasn't. Another driver crossed the runway again on September 20. Now the aircraft access route to Taxiway Bravo from the Float Pond Road has been closed until further notice. Apple followed up with a report that the issue would be resolved by Wednesday, but as of Tuesday afternoon, the iPhone app still directed users across the airport runway.
Osborn believes that the navigation system is using the center of the airport's physical property rather than the actual physical address, the latter of which doesn't steer people across a passenger plane's path. Based on looking up the address on our own iPhone, the Maps app pinpoints the destination near a body of water on the airport property, not the actual physical location of the terminal (seen above). Thus Apple's service is directing users to come in through the back and across the runway on the other side of the water. That said, the navigation issue seems to remain.
"It's all fun and games (mostly Hide and Seek) until somebody gets hurt," said Lisa Vaas from security firm Sophos. "Typically, Naked Security writes about information security, but in this most recent case of Apple Maps and the airport runway incidents, it's a case of disinformation leading to serious, tangible, real-world security issues. I don't mean to be a Google fangirl, but Apple, you've been wandering in the wilderness since you divorced Google Maps."
Apple's Maps app, which at one time was powered by Google Maps, has been on iOS since 2007 with the debut of the first iPhone. Apple parted ways with Google with the release of the Maps app back in September 2012.

4g00fysmiley , September 30, 2013 6:28 AMsuch a good example of how apple users will follow the device and maker despite all good reasoning saying they should not... you must blindly trust the apple!
9ddpruitt , September 30, 2013 6:54 AMQuote:Good thing they weren't directed to drive over a cliff.
I hear that feature is slated for the next version.
0bustapr , September 30, 2013 6:56 AMhonestly, you have to question the peoples intelligence if they just follow a gps without paying attention to where they are driving. Youd think Apple would invest a little more into updating their app with actual road info. seems as if the app just picks out what looks like a road on the map and throws you at it. if a route isnt registered as a an actual drivable street, then theres no reason to send people in that direction.
6mihaimm , September 30, 2013 7:44 AMGood airport security that you can actually get on the driveway with your car! This is an international airport... you'd think they can afford a fence.
0TeraMedia , September 30, 2013 7:59 AMThey need those tire-poppers like you see at the entrances of rental car places, where driving in the wrong direction means you have to call AAA. Combine that with an employee badge scanner, and there you go.
If SJ were alive, he'd say something like "you're following it wrong. The App isn't supposed to be taken literally, but rather only to provide a suggestion for an optional route to the approximate destination to which you want to travel." Problem is, some younger people these days struggle immensely without their GPSes. They even seem to have difficulty reading a map, or determining their location or direction/orientation. I say this having often been the one called upon to rescue them.
-1unksol , September 30, 2013 9:08 AMWho says it was younger people?
"but did not tell drivers to cross the main runway in-between."
"Once the drivers reached the runway and saw the terminal on the other side, naturally they drove straight ahead and crossed the runway."
The map put them in the wrong spot, and apples being ridiculously slow about fixing it, but it doesn't sound like it was the directions. More like they got to where the directions said to go. They stopped. Weren't where they wanted to be, looked around, and then thought "oh there is the terminal, I'll just drive across a runway".
The Apps bad, but this is all the users. if you're using turn by turn directions to get around in something like an airport anyway that's enough evidence. Maybe you use it to assist you getting into the airport, but once there you read the signs.
0house70 , September 30, 2013 9:27 AMLOL. This is hilarious.
Not only iOS is insecure (see repeated hacks that get fixed, only to introduce more holes in security), but individual apps suck, as well.
Good luck trying to uninstall this flop.
0EvilMonk , September 30, 2013 9:59 AMand if you still get on the runway with your car you still deserve to be opted out by darwinism... damn tomshardware its getting ridiculous to read articles like that. the primary school newspaper in my neighborhood is more serious now
0JOSHSKORN , September 30, 2013 10:02 AMI would say Apple just needs to give up and give into Google, thus using Google Maps/Navigation but I love being entertained by Apple Maps fails. What's next? Apple drives its users off of a cliff? I'll put a bag of popcorn in the microwave. Maybe I'll get an iPhone just to see if Apple Maps can get me driving directions from California to Europe. That shouldn't be too hard, right? Just drive across the Atlantic Ocean.
2brucek2 , September 30, 2013 1:56 PMDear TSA: If you're going to pat me and every other passenger down before boarding a plane, you might also want to prevent terrorists from just being able to drive up the airplane or gate with a truck bomb.
Its fun to pick on the defective map app, but bottom line is it just should not be possible for random people to be driving on a runway with 737s regardless of what their map tells them.

@dropout & Mr. Boo, they "officially" don't open until 10am, but everybody in the neighborhood knows you can go inside earlier. It is more of "whatever you can get" scenario in the morning hours because they do run out between batches. I can personally attest to them baking until about early to mid afternoon, with around noon to 1pm being the best time selection-wise.

Brent Batten: Naples is just right for Lefty
Phil Mickelson,
Rancho Santa Fe, Calif.
Dear Phil,
We haven't met but I've been following your career for some time.
I'm a golfer as well, although there are significant differences in our games. For instance, I play right handed.
But that's not why I'm writing you.
The purpose of this letter is to invite you to visit Naples, Fla., as you consider the "drastic action," you recently mentioned to address California's high income tax.
I realize you've apologized for pointing out the obvious, that you pay a large percentage of your income in taxes, that like any rational person you consider your options when making financial decisions and that one of those options is moving to a state without an income tax.
There's no need to apologize to the people of Florida for thinking about moving to a state with no income tax. Except for those who were born here, we've all been there, done that. (And, as an aside, I don't see too many of the people born here rushing to leave for high income tax states.)
Our economy is built on the notion that low income taxes attract people who in turn spend money generating jobs and sales tax. Of late, high earners such as you have been conspicuous in our community, doing things like raising millions of dollars for charity.
One sports figure, former Buffalo Sabres owner Tom Golisano, has donated millions in our area to a hospital, a children's museum and a university, since he moved here to escape New York's high state income tax.
Still, there are plenty of good causes to which you could attach your name, should you choose to make a home in Southwest Florida.
You took a good deal of criticism for suggesting you'd like to keep more than half of what you earn and you'd probably take more if you followed through on that suggestion.
But rest assured you wouldn't be alone. You may not have seen Monday's New York Post, what with the conclusion of the weekend's golf tournament in San Diego pushed back to Monday because of terrible weather (did I mention it was sunny and 80 here all weekend?) but there was an article about a flood of Wall Street executives moving to Florida because of the tax situation.
Our friends over in Palm Beach County have even set up an office in their business development section to communicate with these executive refugees.
Collier County has a new business development manager named Bruce Register. He started work Monday. I don't know what his plans are but you should give him a call. Maybe he'll set up an operation like the one in Palm Beach.
If low taxes, beautiful weather, a welcoming community and the opportunity to do good aren't enough to get you to move here, I'll throw in an added incentive.
As mentioned, I'm a golfer. I believe I could convince my playing partners to carve out a space for you in our group. That way, you'll get to know some people, find out which courses have the best beer cart service, things like that.
I can't promise we'll have room for you in the foursome every week but don't worry. I'm sure you can find a game on your own if you need to.
At any rate, I hope you'll take me up on my offer to show you around Naples with an eye toward making this your home.
Brent Batten
16 handicap
Naples, Fla.
P.S. I think I can help you with that over-the-top move that causes you to hook your driver.

Sorry i joined a filed but i did not see that did not work.
i try again.
Re: 8762 ddc does not work
The attached bug report shows you requesting and getting the "800x600@72nvi" modeline in your X configuration. I'll need to see a bug report which illustrates the problem you're reporting.
Re: 8762 ddc does not work

sorry i am a bit inattentive see the good bug report addendum: when executing startx you have the nvidia error: nvidia (0) failure to construct a valid mode list
Re: 8762 ddc does not work
This is a Mandrake issue, and has been discussed in other threads. You need to either increase the Virtual size, or explicitly request a Mode instead of the Virtual.

Researchers at University of Toronto and Stanford University found that being paid by the hour had a greater impact on employees wellbeing as they give more attention to their pay than those who earn a salary.
Apparently, for those 60 minutes people think only about work and not coffee, silly jokes and the rest of the things that can make you wretched. Now, since all your efforts are rewarded within this short span of time, you just feel elated with what you get.
If we take these findings into consideration, then commercial sex workers should be very happy indeed. So, also housemaids, nannies, people who do odd jobs and errands.
Why are they looking for security when they can just be so happy? Does it mean that security and an assured paycheque cannot provide happiness? Are people who work the full shift and even overtime not focussed on their jobs? Is focus a good yardstick to measure happiness?
To me this sounds like looking at one tree all day when you are in the woods and the birds are chirping, leaves falling and luscious fruits hanging from branches and the fragrance of wild flowers gently settles on your skin. If this isn't happiness, then I'll take some misery.
But, if it is a question of making a choice of not doing a regular job, then we are talking about a different issue. Some of us did make that decision to explore perhaps something of relevance only to ourselves. Others see it as luxury, but it does keep you on edge. (And, hello, we aren't paid by the hour…if that were the case then the sky owes me a hell of a lot of money!) We may work at a pace that is not fast enough, we may not have anything to return to since we don't go out and slay whatever has to be slayed. And on days we may just sit and blog and hope someone reads and thinks we are worth the time.
So, come on, make my hour. Make me happy.

Vampire Diaries Poll For Season 3, Episode 21, "Before Sunset": Do You Think We've Seen the Last of [Spoiler]?
Warning! Spoilers for Vampire Diaries Season 3, Episode 21, "Before Sunset" ahead!
Holy heck! The penultimate episode of Vampire Diaries Season 3 was full of action and death. It was full of resurrection too, but at least one character is down and out — for now. Klaus (Joseph Morgan) was the victim of a nasty desiccation spell, meaning he's bloodless and lifeless.
Though the gang happily celebrated Klaus's incapacitation with shots, Alaric (Matt Davis) is still determined to take out the OV permanently. Do you think he'll succeed in finding Klaus, or will the vamp be on ice until Season 4?

Torche Gets Back Into Its Heavy Groove With Restarter

The few legitimate hits on hand are equally amiable, and Nuggets II's compilers wisely resist the temptation to make too much of them: "Friday on My Mind," the Easybeats' finger-snapping tribute to the weekend, turns up toward the tail end of disc 2, and Status Quo's eccentric "Pictures of Matchstick Men," once covered by Camper Van Beethoven, is dropped into the middle of the third CD. Likewise, well-known artists receive no special favors -- or at least not many. For reasons that aren't entirely clear, Them's gritty, organ-drenched "I Can Only Give You Everything" is credited to the act's lead singer, Van Morrison, but the Davy Jones who turns up on the sloppy, schizophrenic "You've Got a Habit of Leaving" isn't the diminutive cutie-pie from the Monkees but the future David Bowie performing under his given name. Bowie's mewling vocal on the choruses of "Habit" will likely be a revelation to his aficionados -- and not necessarily a pleasant one.
Other discoveries are much more agreeable. Several fairly prominent British combos that somehow failed to achieve superstar status in the States receive their due -- not only the aforementioned Creation and Move but also Kaleidoscope ("A Dream for Julie," "Flight From Ashiya"), the Small Faces ("My Mind's Eye," "Here Comes the Nice"), the Pretty Things ("Midnight to Six Man," "Rosalyn," the shoulda-been-a-smash "Walking Through My Dreams") and John's Children ("A Midsummer's Night Scene" and "Desdemona," featuring the suitably psychosexual line "Lift up your skirt and fly"). Bands with loyal cult followings also turn up, including Brazil's Os Mutantes ("Bat Macumba") and Los Shakers ("Break It All"), a wonderfully twisted Beatles knockoff from, believe it or don't, Uruguay. You can't beat a Liverpool accent as attempted by someone from South America.
But best of all are the opportunities to hear smile-inducing one-shots by outfits that only the nerdiest, most hermetic collectors remember, period. Consider the fabulously dated "Imposters of Life's Magazine," by the Idle Race (ELO's Jeff Lynne was a member), and the lugubrious, shape-shifting "I Read You Like an Open Book," by Sweden's Tages, on disc 1; the Craig's convincingly deranged "I Must be Mad" and the Syn's drop-out manifesto "14 Hour Technicolour Dream," from the second installment; disc 3's "Social End Product," a sneering fuzztone challenge by the Bluestars, and the Downliners Sect's wonderfully amateurish "Glendora"; and, on the fourth CD, the freaked-out nonsense of "I'm Just a Mops," by a Japanese quintet called, logically enough, the Mops, and "Dance Around the Maypole," by the Acid Gallery, whose members may have been on hallucinogens when it was recorded. Lick those stamps with caution.
Not everything here qualifies as a lost masterpiece, but even the lesser offerings inspire a few grins of their own. Although Timon's "Bitter Thoughts of Little Jane" is far too fey, it does sport the peppy line "She'll find a head to pound on," and "Reflections of Charles Brown" by Rupert's People earns points for the manner in which it lifts simultaneously from Charles M. Schulz and Procol Harum's "A Whiter Shade of Pale" (the song's author swears he'd never heard "Pale" before penning his opus -- yeah, sure).
Cuts such as these shouldn't be dismissed as mere filler. After all, their daffiness provides context for the numbers around them, many of which turn out to be awfully daffy as well. In the end, Nuggets II achieves the seemingly impossible task of extending the legacy of its model even as it paints a picture of an era when loud, nasty rock and the search for higher consciousness weren't seen as contradictory pursuits. Just as the record geeks knew all along.

UNM is posting 85.2 points per game hitting 46 percent of their shots from the field. The Lobos are out-rebounding their opponents by 11 boards per game, while New Mexico native Alex Kirk leads the team with 12 rebounds per game. He also leads the team in scoring with 20.8 points per game, while hitting 51 percent of his shots.
Guard Kendall Williams is putting in 34.7 minutes per game and is scoring 19.8 points per game and forward Cameron Bairstow is posting 19.0 points per game and is averaging 27.2 minutes of play. Williams has been very good from the free throw line going 48-of-52 (92%).
The Lobos defeated Alabama-Birmingham, 97-94 in double overtime on Nov. 21 to earn its third victory of the year. Last week, UNM defeated San Diego 73-66 to tally its fifth win. During that game, Kendall Williams went 16-of-16 from the free-throw line – a school record for most made in a perfect night at the line. UNM went 26-of-29 from the line and San Diego went 7-of-8. That 19-point difference could have been seen as the factor that led UNM to the win.
Series between NM State and New Mexico
The Aggies are 95-115 all-time against UNM while going 58-43 when playing in the Pan American Center. The first meeting between the two teams was a 21-9 overtime victory for the Lobos on Dec. 22, 1904 while UNM went on to win the first eight games against the Aggies.

Last Time Out (NM State vs. Colorado State Game Recap)
Junior guards Daniel Mullings and DK Eldridge combined for 47 points and the NM State hit 59-percent of their three pointers but a last second layup gave the Colorado State an 85-83 win Saturday, Nov. 30, in Fort Collins, Colo.
The Aggies were down 77-68 with 1:41 left on the clock but stayed in the game hitting tough shots, which included a fall-away three pointer from Eldridge, who finished the evening going 6-of-6 from behind the three point arc. Eldridge walked off the court posting a career-high 23 points against CSU.
NM State was down 81-78 with 26 seconds left, but Mullings got the ball from freshman Travon Landry to hit another three making it an 82-81 ballgame. After CSU's Daniel Bejarano went 1-of-2 at the free throw line with 12 seconds on the clock, Mullings took the ball to the basket and was fouled. Mullings would go to the line hitting both free throws to tie the game at 83 with seven seconds left.
The Rams sprinted the ball down the court and found their leading scorer, J.J. Avila, who scored on a layup with one second left.
The Aggies jumped out to an early 8-1 lead with 16:38 in the first half but a 6-2 run by the Rams made it a 10-7 game with 15:01 on the clock. NM State allowed another 6-2 scoring run by CSU, which put the Aggies behind 13-12 at the 13:01 mark. Colorado State went up by as many as six at 18-12 but used a 7-0 scoring run to regain the lead with 10:04 left in the half. There would be four more lead changes in the first half but the Aggies would head into the locker room trailing 35-33.
NM State shot 44 percent from the field but tallied 10 more turnovers than the Rams and had more fouls as well. Eldridge led the way in the first half with nine points while going 2-of-2 from three-point land and 1-of-1 at the free throw line. The bench accounted for 12 points in the half, while 16 of 33 Aggie points were score inside the paint.
NM State tied the game four times in the second half but could never get over the hump to take a lead. The Aggies were 7-of-11 from behind the 3-point line in the second half but CSU out-rebounded the Aggies 25-13 and scored 14 second chance points.
Eldridge for Three!
Junior guard DK Eldridge, a transfer from New Mexico Junior College, is currently hitting a team-high 54 percent (15-of-28) of his three-point attempts. Although he has hit only four three's in the Pan American Center, he is hitting 45 percent of triples in Aggie victories. Eldridge caught fire last week missing only one three-pointer (9-of-10) in three games. He tallied a career-high 23 points in a heart-breaking loss to Colorado State in Fort Collins, Colo. on Nov. 30. That day he went 6-for-6 from behind the arc and joined three other Aggie sharp shooters in the NM State record books for highest 3-point field goal percentage in a game, with a minimum of five 3-pointers made. Former NM State guard Jimmy Taylor was the first to accomplish the feat going 6-of-6 against San Jose State on Feb. 2, 1989. Former Aggie Louis Denmark went 6-for-6 against Cal Poly, Jan. 9, 1997, while former great Jahmar Young went hit all six of his 3-point shots against Texas Southern, Dec. 23, 2009.
Bhullar with another Block
Sophomore center Sim Bhullar broke the school record for blocks in a single game when he tallied 10 blocked shots in a 91-60 win over Prairie View A&M, Nov. 27 in the Pan American Center. That day the Aggies tallied 14 blocks, which is also a new school record at NM State. Former Aggie All-American James Moore is the former record holder for blocks in a game as he tallied eight blocks against North Texas on Feb. 7, 2004. The previous school record for blocked shots by an Aggie team was 12. NM State marked 12 blocks against Creighton, Jan. 12, 1978, and against UTSA, Feb. 2, 2013.
Bhullar currently has 115 blocks on his career and is in the No. 5 spot on the all-time blocked shots list at NM State. He needs just one more block to tie former Aggie Charles Gosa, who marked 116 blocks from 1995-99.
Bhullar broke the single-season records for blocked shots last year with 85. Former Aggie Roland is in the No. 2 spot for blocked shots in a season with 58 during the 1973-74 season.
Blocked Shots (career)
1. James Moore (2000-03), 200
2. Hamidu Rahman (2008-12), 137
3. Slab Jones (1976-80), 124
4. Charles Gosa (1995-99), 116
5. Sim Bhullar (2012-Present), 115
Mullings March to 1,000 – The Countdown Continues
Junior guard and Canadian native, Daniel Mullings led the NM State men's basketball team with 483 points during the 2012-13 season. During the 2011-12 season he tallied a total of 334 points. Prior to the start of this season Mullings needed 183 points to reach 1,000 points for NM State.
Mullings has scored 161 points this season and now has 978 points on his career, needing 22 more points to reach the 1,000-point mark. He is currently averaging 17.9 points per game this season, which means he could reach 1,000 points within the next two games.
Eric Channing is NM State's all-time scoring leader with 1,862 points. Channing played for the Aggies from 1998-02. Former Aggie guard Hernst Laroche is No. 15 on all-time points scored. He was under coach Menzies from 2008-12 and scored a total of 400 points his first two years at NM State.
George Knighton was the first Aggie to ever reach 1,000 points. He played for NM State from 1960-62 and scored over 1,000 points his first two years. The most recent Aggies to enter the 1,000 Point Club were Wendell McKines, Hernst Laroche, and Hamidu Rahman in 2012. Former Aggie Billy Keys is currently No. 31 on the 1,000-point list with 1,004 points in 65 games played (two seasons; 1999-00).
Slam Dunk
NM State has dunked the ball 39 times compared to its opponents only dunking it on the Aggies nine times this year. Sim Bhullar leads the way with 19 dunks after slamming it down on Hawai'i six times. Daniel Mullings has had some of the most entertaining dunks, with one put-back dunk against Northern Colorado making ESPN Sportcenter's Top 10 Plays, at No. 6, on Nov. 21.
Ross-Miller off to Good Start
Ross-Miller has started all nine games for the Aggies and is averaging 24.3 minutes per game. During his time on the court, he is posting 8.8 points per game and has a team-high 35 assists averaging 3.8 per game. He tallied a career-high seven assists in a 79-56 win over Bethune-Cookman, Monday, Nov. 25 in the Pan American Center.
Ross-Miller marked 69 assists during the 2012-13 season in 30 games with the Aggies. He is working hard to find his Aggie teammates and hopes to enter the top-10 for assists in a single season at NM State. Former Aggie Fred Peete holds the No. 10 spot on the list as he marked 145 assists during the 2007-08 season. Aggie great, Sam Crawford holds the top two spots on the list as he tallied 310 assists during the 1992-93 year, after dishing out 282 assists during the 1991-92 season.
He has been pretty good from the free throw line and is currently 84% from the stripe, hitting 36-of-43 attempts. In a rivalry game at UTEP, Ross-Miller went 11-of-14 at UTEP (Nov. 15) while going 2-for-2 against Prairie View A&M (Nov. 27). He went 10-of-12 at the free throw line during a 95-88 win over Hawai'i in the final game of the Outrigger Hotels and Resort Rainbow Classic. He hit 10 consecutive free throws in the final 10 seconds of the game to boost the Aggies to victory.
Ross-Miller went 15-of-18 (83%) from the free throw line during the first three games of the season and finished the tournament scoring 7.3 points per game and dishing out 12 assists, a team-high.
Tall Order
It's no secret that the NM State men's basketball team towers over the competition more times than none. But how tall is our whole team put together? When the height of the entire roster of 13 Aggie players is added up it comes out to 84 feet, 9 inches or 1017 inches.
The frontcourt, made up of seven players combine, combines for a height of 48 feet or 576 inches. The Aggies have an average height of 6 feet, 5 inches or 78.2 inches.
Mullings Earns WAC Player of the Week
Junior guard Daniel Mullings has been named Western Athletic Conference Player of the Week by the league office for the week of 11-17 after leading the Aggies to consecutive wins last week. This is his second WAC player of the week honor as he earned the honor during the 2012-13 season.
Mullings, a native of Toronto, Ontario, Canada, helped the Aggies pick up two consecutive wins last week averaging 23.5 points per game. He finished the Outrigger Hotels and Resort Rainbow Classic scoring 21 points on host team Hawai'i during a 3am (MT) game that was featured on ESPN's Tip-off Marathon. He went 6-of-11 from the field and 1-for-1 from the 3-point arc while dropping 8-of-12 free throws. He was named to the Outrigger Hotels and Resort Rainbow Classic immediately following the game. Mullings tallied a game-high 26 points against I-10 Rival UTEP on Friday, Nov. 15 to help his team to an 86-73 victory in front of a vocal Pan American Center crowd while going 64 percent from the field (9-of-14). He added two assists, two steals and a rebound against the Miners as the Aggies moved to 3-1 on the year.
Overall on the week, Mullings averaged 23.5 points, 3.5 assists, 1.5 rebounds, 1.5 steals and 0.5 blocks per game. He shot 60 percent (15-of-25) from the field, 50 percent (1-of-2) from beyond the arc and 64 percent (16-of-25) from the free throw line.

If eternal hell fire was a reality don't you think Christ and the apostles would have spread the word to everyone not just to the Jews right at the beginning?

According to the traditional view of Hell and salvation, He is.

Conclusion on the peer review of the pesticide risk assessment of confirmatory data submitted for the active substance dichlorprop-P
The conclusions of the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) following the peer review of the initial risk assessment carried out by the competent authority of the rapporteur Member State Denmark, for the pesticide active substance dichlorprop-P are reported. The context of the peer review was that requested by the European Commission following the submission and evaluation of confirmatory data concerning the risk assessment in the areas of consumer exposure and birds and mammals. The conclusions were reached on the basis of the evaluation of the representative uses of dichlorprop-P as a herbicide on cereals, grassland and grass seed crops. The reliable endpoints concluded as being appropriate for use in regulatory risk assessment, derived from the available studies and literature in the dossier peer reviewed, are presented. Concerns are identified.
© European Food Safety Authority, 2012
Dichlorprop-P was included in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC on 1 June 2007 by Commission Directive 2006/74/EC, and has been deemed to be approved under Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, in accordance with Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 540/2011, as amended by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 541/2011. It was a specific provision of the approval that the notifier was required to submit to the European Commission further studies to confirm the results on animal metabolism and the risk assessment on acute and short-term exposure for birds and on acute exposure for herbivorous mammals by 31 May 2009.
In accordance with the specific provision, the notifier, Nufarm, submitted an updated dossier in July 2009, which was evaluated by the designated RMS, Denmark, in the form of an Addendum to the Draft Assessment Report. In compliance with Guidance Document SANCO 5634/2009 rev.3, the RMS distributed the Addendum to Member States and the EFSA for comments on 22 July 2011. The RMS collated all comments in the format of a Reporting Table, which was submitted to the European Commission in October 2011.
Following consideration of the comments received, the European Commission requested the EFSA to organise a peer review of the RMS's evaluation of the confirmatory data submitted in relation to consumer exposure and birds and mammals and to deliver its conclusions on the risk assessment for birds and mammals, the residue definition and the derivation of MRLs for animal products.
The experts at the Pesticide Peer Review meeting 96 on residues in September 2012 concluded that sufficient information was available to identify the metabolite 11 in wheat straw as dichlorprop-P methyl ester and derived the residue definition for enforcement purposes and risk assessment in plant commodities as the "sum of dichlorprop (including dichlorprop-P), its salts, esters and conjugates expressed as dichlorprop". The meeting also confirmed the MRLs of 0.7 mg/kg for bovine kidney and 0.1 mg/kg for bovine liver based on the available goat metabolism study reported in the Draft Assessment Report.
The acute risk for herbivorous and insectivorous birds and herbivorous mammals was not addressed with the confirmatory data and a critical area of concern was identified.

In Gibraltar there is no capital gains tax, inheritance tax, wealth tax, gift tax, VAT, withholding tax and no tax on interest or gains made on monetary investments. In addition, there is no taxation on dividends and interest paid by a Gibraltar Company to a non-resident recipient which includes investors in a fund. There is also no withholding tax on dividends.
Gibraltar has a territorial basis of taxation. Under the Gibraltar Income Tax Act, income tax is only payable upon income which accrues in or is derived from Gibraltar.
On the above basis, many Gibraltar companies are not liable to pay tax in Gibraltar as they do not do business inside the Gibraltar economy. Further advice can be provided by our firm as to whether a Gibraltar company is liable to pay tax in Gibraltar. It is also possible to obtain a tax ruling from the Gibraltar Commissioner of Income Tax which will confirm whether or not a Gibraltar company is liable to pay tax in Gibraltar.
As from 1st January 2011, all real presence Gibraltar companies will move to the 10% corporate tax rate. This will not affect companies with no income accruing in, derived from or received in Gibraltar which will continue not to be liable to pay tax in Gibraltar.
The new 10% company provides real opportunities for companies to establish their holdings companies in Gibraltar and take advantage of this low rate of tax. Also, companies with activities which can sensibly be performed outside their country of origin, can operate through a real presence company in Gibraltar. For example, marketing, logistics planning, research, software development, web site maintenance, administrative functions and any type of service which does not require the company to be present in the country of origin. These real presence companies can, for example, invoice their "mother" company and make a significant tax saving.
There is, of course, the added advantage of no VAT, no capital gains tax and no tax on investment income.
An approved fund is exempted from tax by the Commissioner of Income Tax under Rule 3(17) of the Income Tax (Allowances, Deductions and Exemptions) Rules 1992. This includes an exemption from investment and derivative premiums, interest income, income from trading securities, financial instruments and property of any class, including real property and capital gains achieved from the trading of any of these.
Apart from transactions involving real estate in Gibraltar, there is no stamp duty. Significantly, there is no stamp duty on the transfer of shares in any Gibraltar company or fund.
Stamp duty is payable on real estate transactions in Gibraltar and, consequently, share transfers in companies which own real estate in Gibraltar are subject to stamp duty.
Gibraltar companies can also benefit from the EU Parent Subsidiary Rules.
The European Commission has communicated to EU Member States that the Parent Subsidiary Directive should be applied to Gibraltar tax-resident companies. This has opened up enormous opportunities for private equity and property funds looking to set up tax-efficient structures. If a Gibraltar fund wholly owns (or has a sufficient participation in), for example, a Luxembourg company, it will not only benefit from the Parent Subsidiary Directive but also from Luxembourg's tax treaties.
A Gibraltar fund investing through its Luxembourg subsidiary in an EU property company can serve as an example. The EU property company will have to pay taxes on its trading profits and capital gains in its own State. However, dividends due to the Luxembourg company and in turn to the Gibraltar fund can be paid entirely free of withholding tax. This is possible as a direct result of the provisions of the Parent Subsidiary Directive.
Once the dividends are received by the fund these can be paid to the shareholders (as long as they are not Gibraltar residents) entirely free of tax. Therefore, in this example, the dividends paid by the EU property company have been repatriated to the investors without suffering any tax loss whatsoever.
As Gibraltar has no tax on investment income and no capital gains tax, a Gibraltar company or trust is an ideal vehicle for holding a bank account, dealing in stocks and shares, holding portfolios of investments and for purchasing other financial products. Therefore, all interest earned as well as any capital gains or other profits made are paid entirely free of tax. Many major international banks and financial institutions are based in Gibraltar and our firm has long-standing relationships with most, if not all of them.
There are special low tax provisions for high net with individuals with fiscal residence in Gibraltar.
However, persons who are ordinarily resident in Gibraltar are liable to taxation on their worldwide income and may elect to pay tax under either under the gross income based system or the allowance based system.
Under this system persons are taxed on their gross income without any allowances being taken into account and without any deductions being made. The following rates apply.
Individuals with a gross income of less than £25,000 per annum:
• the first £10,000 at 6%;
• the next £7,000 at 20%;
• balance at 28%.
Individuals with a gross income above £25,000 per annum:
• the first £17,000 at 16%;
• the next £8,000 at 19%;
• the next £15,000 at 25%;
• the next £65,000 at 28%;
• the next £395,000 at 25%;
• the next £300,000 at 10%;
• balance at 5%.
The maximum effective rate of taxation in Gibraltar is 24.99%.
For individuals with a gross income of less than £40,000 per annum, the maximum effective rate of taxation in Gibraltar is 24.99%.
Under this system persons may claim allowances and deductions and will be taxed on their taxable gross income less allowances as follows:
• the first £4,000 of assessable income at the rate of 15%;
• the next £12,000 of assessable income at the rate of 24%;
• the remainder of assessable income at the rate of 40%.
Allowances include things such as mortgage interest relief, child allowances and pension tax-relief.
Under this system, anyone earning less than £10,000 per annum pays no tax.

It would be cool to see a WB BB with a footbox on both sides.
Sung to the old nursery rhyme:
Sing a song of Hammocking a tarp hung with triptease
Four and twenty blackbirds hanging from the trees
When the blackbirds opened the ground dweller had to cry
Oh why set such a comfy bed out before my eye?
The Grounder was in his bumpy tent counting every rock,
his girlfriend in the vestibule drying out her sock
The hikers on the trail that came upon the sight
had to have a blackbird before the end of night!
Revolution is about the need to re-evolve political, economic and social justice and power back into the hands of the people, preferably through legislation and policies that make human sense. That's what revolution is about. Revolution is not about shootouts.

****, and I have just paid all my credit cards down. Oh well, as Teddy Roosevelt said "Charge!"
id be in the market for a "reverse" blackbird, as I lay with feet to the Left side of center. I looked at Drewboy's BB on this past w/e hang and found it to be very interesting. Brandon, do you still have the reverse BB's (or willing to make?)
new site! new gear! www.tewaunderquilts.com
follow me on facebook!
Is there a website fot the "Blackbird"? How about the Warbonnet? I would like to see the differant models and prices and such. Thanks!
I think that when the lies are all told and forgot the truth will be there yet. It dont move about from place to place and it dont change from time to time. You cant corrupt it any more than you can salt salt. - Cormac McCarthy
hey folks,
mike, looks like a few are interested in a mirror image version of the blackbird, that is, zipper against your right shoulder, left ankle against the other side, shelf and footbox on your left.
since i'm still making these things one at a time as i get the orders, it's no big deal to flip the pieces around, so just let me know if you want a "lefty" instead, price will not change.

RE: Franklin P. Marquis
Yes. I am doing a family tree of the Marcus/Marquis/Marquess family. There are a few still spelling the name Marquess which appears to be the original spelling - most changed to Marquis by early 1700s. William George Marquess came to Frederick County, Virginia --- he had at least 5 sons. Most went to Cross Creek, Washington County, PA then spread out into Ohio, KY, IN, That branch of the family appears to use Marquis. One son stayed in Opequon, Frederick Co, VA (south of Winchester, VA). Only this branch of the family changed to Marcus. The family story is that the young children were not able to write the letter Q so the teacher changed it to Marcus. William had a daughter Mary that married John Wilson (who was a school teacher). Mary's tombstone (1720 - 1742) in the Opequon cemetery has Marcus --- but Marquis was still used for several more years .

RE: Darbyshire
I cannot read first name neither. I've made q request to the creator of the memorial page to show "unknown" for first name and to show date of birth as August 21, 188 and date of death as August 25, 1860. Thanks again for your efforts.

Usually ships within 24 to 48 hours unless otherwise noted in the product description.
This book turns the compost bin upside down with a natural six-way gardening system of keeping compost heaps right in the garden, rather than in some dark corner behind the garage. The compost and plants live together from the beginning in a nourishing, organic environment.
Author Barbara Pleasant's bountiful, compost-rich gardens require less digging, weeding, mulching and even less planting. And here's one of the best parts — no more backbreaking slogs from compost bin to garden. Pleasant and co-author Deborah Martin even identify the plants that benefit most from compost and how the elements of a composted garden work together. Their natural six-way compost gardening system provides the ruling principles for successfully improving every garden with healthy compost.
