Learning and Teaching
This course is taught in 10, two-hour sessions, delivered on a weekly basis. Teaching and learning is centred on small group teaching techniques. Key information is provided orally and illustrated through the study of PowerPoint, audio and audio-visual music examples, as well as relevant historical documents, visual images, and, if appropriate, scores. One of the main aims of the module is to develop a general understanding of the topic, but also to encourage and stimulate further discussion and critical debate. Students are also expected to spend additional time in private reading and listening.
Coursework and Assessment
To award credits we need to have evidence of the knowledge and skills you have gained or improved. Some of this has to be in a form that can be shown to external examiners so that we can be absolutely sure that standards are met across all courses and subjects.
It goes without saying that students' understanding of the music studied in a course is usually considerably enhanced if they read and write about it. You will not have a formal examination but you will be asked to produce some written work. This need not be an essay: it can take the form of a course journal, portfolio, presentation, performance, or a class test. Our assessments are flexible to suit the course and the student.
The most important element of assessment is that it should enhance your learning. Our methods are designed to increase your confidence and we try very hard to devise ways of assessing you that are enjoyable and suitable for adults with busy lives.

Cupcakes Express is an online cupcake e-commerce store where you can order cupcakes to be delivered right to your door or office in 24 hours or less. We have taken cues from 1-800-flowers and FTD and changed the model to order a unique and delightful product that everyone loves to receive.
Cupcakes Express is a family-owned business and the owners also manage our own successful bakery. Our experience in owning and operating a local bakery has put us in touch with the needs of our customers: we understand why people buy cupcakes, we know what goes into making them special, and we know that the reason that we have been successful because we refuse to settle for less than the best in every detail.
Ordering cupcakes online is a delicious - and often less expensive - way to send a memorable that expresses love, friendship and concern. Know someone with a birthday coming up? Want to impress loved one? Need dessert for an office party? Or maybe you just want cupcakes delivered by hand to your door? Cupcakes are the new and exciting way to go!
We search the country for the best cupcake bakeries in each metro area. After evaluating their cupcakes for taste, appearance and quality, we partner with them so that we may bring you the best cupcakes in each part of the country.
We make it possible to have cupcakes delivered quickly. Many bakeries do not offer delivery or only have limited delivery hours, but we work with local courier services to make it possible to have cupcakes delivered during a wider time range.
Cupcakes are fragile and perishable, so someone must be available to accept the cupcakes when they arrive. By checking with the recipient to make sure they will be home or in the office, you can be sure that the cupcakes will get there on time and be delivered to the right place. We can deliver to other people in the office, a concierge at an apartment building or a neighbor.
If the recipient knows they will not be able to accept the cupcakes in person before the delivery attempt occurs, he or she may call the courier directly to reschedule a more convenient time and/or location. We will send the recipient a phone number for the courier in their city. If the cupcakes are delivered to an office, someone at the office may accept the cupcakes for the recipient if they are not available. If the courier attempts to deliver the cupcakes but the recipient is not home, they will leave a note on the door and call the recipient to schedule a better time.
Please contact us at www.cupcakesexpress.com/contactus.tpl or call 1-855-cupcake to have our customer service staff help you resolve any problems.
Each arrangement consists of one dozen or half dozen gourmet cupcakes. Our flavor experts work directly with our partner bakeries to create a custom combination of flavors that is sure to delight your palate. If you would like to order one dozen or one half dozen of a single flavor, we've created the All Of One Kind arrangement so you can choose your favorite flavor.
When an order is placed on our website, we automatically send a confirmation email to the person you're sending the cupcakes to in order to notify them that they will be receiving a delivery during the date and time range you select. We want to give the recipient the opportunity to let us know in advance if the scheduled delivery time does not work for them. Although we ask customers to check with the recipient to see that they will be available to accept the delivery before placing an order, this additional safeguard guarantees that the person receiving the cupcakes will get them at a time that is convenient to them.

Yes, pretty much. In terms of property rights they are identical. The tax breaks are negligible in the UK these days - I think if you are both working there is no point in being 'married for tax purposes'. The tax breaks about having kids are about the number and age of kids, not the marital status of the parents.Cap'n Tedward wrote:Okay, but are all three of those types of weddings on the same legal level? Do civil arrangements have the same visiting rights, tax breaks, etc as the religious ones?

11 U.S. Code § 922 - Automatic stay of enforcement of claims against the debtor
(a) A petition filed under this chapter operates as a stay, in addition to the stay provided by section 362 of this title, applicable to all entities, of—
(1) the commencement or continuation, including the issuance or employment of process, of a judicial, administrative, or other action or proceeding against an officer or inhabitant of the debtor that seeks to enforce a claim against the debtor; and
(b) Subsections (c), (d), (e), (f), and (g) ofsection 362 of this title apply to a stay under subsection (a) of this section the same as such subsections apply to a stay under section 362 (a) of this title.
(c) If the debtor provides, under section 362, 364, or 922 of this title, adequate protection of the interest of the holder of a claim secured by a lien on property of the debtor and if, notwithstanding such protection such creditor has a claim arising from the stay of action against such property under section 362 or 922 of this title or from the granting of a lien under section 364 (d) of this title, then such claim shall be allowable as an administrative expense under section 503 (b) of this title.

Historical and Revision Notes
house report no. 95–595
The automatic stay provided under section 362 of title 11 is incomplete for a municipality, because there is the possibility of action by a creditor against an officer or inhabitant of the municipality to collect taxes due the municipality. Section 85(e)(1) of current chapter IX [section 405(e)(1) of former title 11] stays such actions. Section 922 carries over that protection into the proposed chapter 9. Subsection (b) applies the provisions for relief from the stay that apply generally in section 362 to the stay under section 922.
1988—Subsecs. (c), (d). Pub. L. 100–597added subsecs. (c) and (d).

I would like to propose a intermediary parent for the NoResult and NonUnique Exceptions, that is not as high level as ORMEXception, something in between.
The reasoning for this is that sometime si want to get a single object out of the DB, and in case its not there i want to just get a null and carry on. For this I usually need to catch both exceptions as both results might trigger me to do something else, like abort. In some cases i do need to treat each of these in its own way, but in some cases it does not matter to which side the error went, it only matters that its not the expected SingleResult. Catching a ORMException is not adequate as it may include other error which would need to be treated differently.
My proposal would be like:
ORMException -> NotExpectedResultException ->{NoResult, NonUnique}
Just a more detailed grouping of exceptions. Does this sound like something possible, or am I just nuts?

The possibility of finding life on another planet could be closer than anyone imagined, thanks to the work of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics team. Galactically speaking, it's a stroll across the park.
Astronomers reported Wednesday that the closest Earth-like planet may be just 13 light years away. That planet hasn't been found yet, but it should be there based on the team's study of red dwarf stars, the Associate Press reports.
Small, cool red dwarf stars are the most common stars in our galaxy, numbering 75 billion.
The Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics team estimates 6 percent of red dwarfs have Earth-like planets. To qualify, the planet must be roughly the size of Earth and get as much light from its star, as Earth does from the sun.
This high rate of occurrence should simplify the search for extraterrestrial life.

Even if you don't consider yourself a particularly daring dresser, the holiday season is a great time to try out some more adventurous ensembles. But if you're hesitant to ditch your beloved LBD, simply look to today's crop of tastemakers to help you step outside of your comfort zone. These savvy stylephiles have recently donned wonderfully festive fare in the form of textured dresses and we've definitely taken notice, hence today's Trend Report! Emulate their smart styling choices by relegating those plain Jane frocks to the back of your closet and experimenting with anything adorned, gilded, decorated, or ornamented instead! Whether you try something festooned with feathers a la Sienna Miller or a boldly bedecked look per Anna Dello Russo, an anything-but-basic dress will certainly make a striking statement this season.
Since we're talking about an embellished, ornate look, it's no surprise that our runway inspiration comes from Matthew Williamson, who never fails to create fanciful, eye-catching designs. Williamson's F/W 11 collection featured a slew of look-at-me outfits, but our favorite has to be the shimmering Long Sleeve Dress ($12,175, 212.255.9881) shown above. We think its exquisite, tiered feather detailing, metallic sequin accents, and abbreviated hemline definitely make for a head-turning combination.
This trend has been making an equally bold statement off the runways, as demonstrated by today's quintet of style mavens. Model Jacquetta Wheeler, for example, attended the launch of Baku magazine last month wearing Matthew Williamson's Appliquéd Wool-Crepe Dress ($4075). We especially like how the frock's body-skimming, 20s-inspired silhouette balances out the intricate feather-and-bead embellishments, resulting in an undeniably stylish after-dark option. We're also charmed by model Gaia Weiss' take on our spotlighted trend. Snapped at the Emanuel Ungaro S/S 12 show last month, Weiss donned a metallic dress from said label's F/W 11 collection. We think her outfit is an especially wearable option-thanks to its classic, strapless shape-making it a perfect way to test-drive this look if you aren't feeling particularly daring. In addition to Wheeler's and Weiss' textured dresses, we're also smitten with the version Marie Claire's Senior Fashion Editor Zanna Roberts Rassi wore to the AnOther magazine party in New York back in September. Rassi went for a high-octane look, which consisted of a Vionnet dress, Prada clutch, Louis Vuitton cuff, and Giuseppe Zanotti strappy heels. Her plunging, paillette-adorned frock is the epitome of evening glamour and definitely a winner in our books.
We've already given you the rundown on three great interpretations of our trend du jour, but if you really want to up the ante at your next holiday party, look to sartorial risk-takers Sienna Miller and Anna Dello Russo for inspiration. Miller attended an AllSaints party supporting Breakthrough Breast Cancer in England last month wearing a whimsical Matthew Williamson dress from the S/S 12 collection. Replete with feather and sequin detailing, plus a standout hue, this daring frock is no easy look to pull off, but Miller does so with aplomb. Dello Russo went for a similarly adventurous look at the Donna Karan S/S 12 show in September. For the event, she chose a dress by Fausto Puglisi and Yves Saint Laurent shoes. With its statement shoulders, super short hemline, and ornate detailing, this ensemble is certainly not for the faint of heart, but we wouldn't expect anything less from the fearless trendsetter!
For your next fete, take a cue from today's five tastemakers and forgo the simple LBD in favor of a textured dress. We wholeheartedly approve of AllSaints' Embellished Python Dress ($495), Susana Monaco's Sequined Shift Dress ($286), Alice + Olivia's Vista Beaded Tunic Dress ($495), and Dress Up Topshop's Sequin Bodycon Dress ($118), all of which will surely inject some glitz into your wardrobe this season. If you especially adore Wheeler's flapper-esque frock, we suggest picking up Staring at Stars' Embroidered Clara Dress ($99), French Connection's Winter Bex Beads Sleeveless Dress ($328), or Dress Up Topshop's Multi Bead Fringe Dress ($350), all of which offer a contemporary take on '20s dressing. Smitten with Rassi's glittering number? ASOS' Swing Dress with Embellishment ($135) has a similar futuristic vibe that we love. Finally, if you're crazy about Miller's feathery iteration, consider snagging Aqua's Luxe Feather Tube Dress ($198) or Red Valentino's Embellished Tulle Dress ($750) for a show-stopping look. Whichever one you choose, remember to allow these ornate dresses to take center stage by pairing them unfussy accessories and a down-to-earth beauty look.-Erin Fitzpatrick

Are You Staffing -- Online?
Two years ago anecdotal evidence found that online staffing had barely penetrated the contingent market, with contingent workforce managers paying little or no attention to this new talent source. Fourteen months ago, I suggested CW managers embrace online staffing or be flattened. (Remember folks, you heard it first at SIA!)
The tide has turned. SIA's buyer survey revealed that 41 percent of large buyers in 2013 said they were aware of online staffing, up from 32 percent in 2012. Of those CW managers who had heard of it, only 16 percent of hiring managers they serve had heard of online staffing.
But here's the kicker. Of the hiring managers who are aware of online staffing, 45 percent are using it as a resource — for getting various projects and tasks completed — versus 8 percent of CW managers. Hiring managers are finding it an effective and efficient way to augment their staff.
There are those who believe online staffing could change the model of how CW labor is obtained and managed. Perhaps it's true. More important, online staffing is on its way to becoming a significant part of the staffing ecosystem. Both buyers and suppliers of temporary labor need to be aware of online staffing. Familiarize yourself with the ins and outs of this new reality. You don't want to be caught unawares. This new way of getting work done is on track for becoming a major force in contingent labor.

Would be nice to get clarity on the definition of Online Staffing. Isn't using an online marketplace to do projects or even hire developers on a time and material basis actually better described as online outsourcing or online consulting and akin to what large companies do when sending work to Indian or China- just that this selection process is happening online?
Staffing, to me, implies onsite contingent workers that were sourced, hired and placed by a third party (staffing agency) at a client site. I don't believe odesk or elance are doing the sourcing or screening. They just host the freelancer profiles in their marketplace and charge a fee for transactions.
What if Monster were to add a feature that said - hire people in our database and pay us a 10% transaction fee, would they now suddenly be the largest staffing company in the world?
To me, the work staffing companies do is- obtain the req, source candidates, screen, submit, negotiate, hire and train contractors - most of these things are not done by online marketplaces. I think the key differentiation ought to be the role the hiring manager plays in the hiring process. If they let a staffing agency search for the contingent worker on their behalf, it is staffing. If they find the worker on their own and are just using a vehicle to do the deal through, it should probably be outsourcing, payrolling, online outsourcing.
I understand the online marketplaces are trying to automate the staffing agencies tasks by providing search filters and reputation systems to hiring managers but these services don't narrow down the 150 applications to the best 3, screen them or are even held accountable for the non-performance of the freelancer. Until they start offering these core tasks as a service why don't we just call them online labor marketplaces.

MASSENA - A retired school superintendent has taken the helm of Nightengale Elementary School on an interim basis until a permanent principal is in place.
William Flynn, who retired as superintendent of the Ogdensburg City School District, replaces Shannon Jordan at a rate of $350 a day.
Ms. Jordan recently accepted a position with the St. Lawrence-Lewis Board of Cooperative Educational Services. The Massena Central School Board of Education had accepted her resignation, effective Oct. 13, during their September meeting.
She previously served as a counselor in the district and was appointed as the elementary school principal in August 2009.
She took over for Michele Meyers, who resigned as principal effective June 30, 2009 to take a Committee on Special Education position in the Canton Central School District.
Ms. Jordan also served as an interim principal at Madison Elementary School from January 2009 until her appointment to Nightengale Elementary School.
We wish her well. Shes got a great opportunity. Its a nice opportunity for her and her family, Interim Superintendent William W. Crist said.
The district has started advertising for a new full-time principal, with a closing date of Oct. 18 for applications. Mr. Flynn will serve as interim principal until the new person is hired. He had retired as superintendent of the Ogdensburg City School District on June 30, 2006.
I was seeking out some individuals who could sit in on an interim basis. We identified William Flynn. He retired from Ogdensburg. He actually graduated from Massena schools some years ago, then worked in Ogdensburg as a principal, specifically an elementary principal. He spent part of his carer in Ogdensburg and retired as superintendent some years ago, Mr. Crist said.
He said that Mr. Flynn agreed to take on the role after he was contacted about the interim position.
When I contacted him ,he was elated. We welcomed him in last week. We had a faculty meeting last Wednesday and introduced him to the staff. Hes been here ever since. Weve been very happy to have someone over there who has experience as an elementary school principal, Mr. Crist said.
Its a finite period. It puts a stopgap in the situation, he said.
Once applications have been received for the full-time position, Mr. Crist said they will assemble a committee to take part in the hiring process.
I will do some screening of applicants to make sure everybody meets the requirements and has proper credentialing. Then we would bring the committee together. Ive already sought some input from some of the staff and professional staff and support staff from Nightengale, he said.
The committee will include some of the districts principals and likely parent representatives, who will have input into the process, according to Mr. Crist.
We wanted to assemble a representative group of qualified candidates so we can identify the best person for the job, he said.
He said they plan to have a permanent principal in place between Thanksgiving and New Years
There is some interest inside (the district). Its an opportunity for advancement within the system, Mr. Crist said.

It has been written that the Golden Gate Bridge boasts the "most provocative show in town." So what better way to experience the view than by bike, ferry, and an al fresco brunch?
Those who are lucky enough to see the fog roll in over the bay, will also experience the frigid temperatures it brings with it. Remember to bring a waterproof jacket to ward off the misty morning and feel free to bring a ski mask, even if your friends judge you.
Remember to save room for dessert at Poggio. The Panna Cotta with tart huckleberries is "perfect" according to the SF Gate and "to die for" according to several Yelpers. And after all that vigorous pedaling, you'll have earned it!
Have a car you need to ditch? The Taylor Street location of Bay City Bike has a limited number of spots available behind the store for $10 per day--a steal in the neighborhood. Call ahead to ensure they have open spots.
"Bike over to Sausalito and have brunch at Le Garage. Order the Oeuf a la coque - enjoy the french food, accent, and music. Take the ferry back. All that = perfect SF day."
To catch the breathtaking views of the City by the Bay from a one-of-a-kind vista, urban adventurers grab a bike from Bay City Bike in the morning and breeze (or pant) their way across the Golden Gate. With a ferry ride back, bikers can take their time soaking in the sights and posing for the obligatory bike + bridge shot, all while experiencing the misty magic on a two-wheeled cruiser. Once you coast your way into Sausalito, settle in for brunch at the Italian staple Poggio Trattoria, where the views from the terrace are legendary. While the espresso and red wine come highly recommended, the desserts get fight-for-the-last-bite reviews, so save room for dessert.
Work off that post-brunch food stupor with a stroll to the docks through the cozy seaside town of Sausalito. Viewing the bay from the opposite perspective is always a treat and the ferry provides an unforgettable flourish to this adventure. With refreshing views, a bar on board, and an open deck, it is the perfect way to bid adieu to the serene retreat that is the bay.

MASSENA - A foreign language teacher, half-time social studies teacher and guidance counselor were among the positions restored Thursday night by the Massena Central School Board of Education.
The board voted to reinstate Joseph Mittiga to the half-time high social studies teacher at a salary of $21,962; Van Alexander to the guidance counselor position at a salary of $58,474; and an unnamed foreign language teacher.
Board members also opted not to reinstate Claudeen Watkins from her current full-time keyboard specialist position to her previous human resources specialist position. Instead, Acting Interim Superintendent Stephen M. Putman said, Ms. Watkins will remain as a keyboard specialist and the district will hire one more keyboard specialist.
In addition, board members voted to combine two Massena Building Administrators Association positions, having Athletic Director Timothy J. Hayes to also serve as dean of students at J. William Leary Junior High School.
I recognize this could be a bit of a challenge, Mr. Putman said, suggesting that the move be monitored to see how it plays out.
A resolution to reinstate a management confidential position was scratched from the list of recommended actions after board members returned from an executive session that stretched for nearly an hour.
In addition to acting on the keyboard specialist position, board members voted to reinstate two food service workers for two hours a day. One was a food service motor vehicle operator and the other was a food service helper.
Mr. Putman said that the 2013-14 budget had cut three foreign language teachers out of nine and, when they decided to reinstate one of those positions, they had to offer it the person with the most seniority who was certified for the job. He said the person who was reinstated Thursday night is certified in French, but must be certified to teach Spanish before the start of the school year.
Spanish teacher Joseph Boyle, who also serves as that departments chair, had told board members in June that one of his concerns with the cuts was that teachers would be asked to instruct out of their area of familiarity.
Youre asking a Spanish or French teacher to teach a language theyre not really trained for. We dont think its good for students, he had told board members.
Mr. Boyle had said he was also concerned about class sizes, pointing out that a study had determined class sizes above 25 in the foreign languages was a serious detriment to learning.
The half-time social studies teacher position was restored because of concerns about class sizes with the different areas of social studies that were offered at the high school.
Mr. Mittiga, whose position had been eliminated in the budget, had also shared his concerns with board members in June, noting that he was concerned about having teachers instructing in an unfamiliar area.
You are currently proposing next year that two social studies courses be taught by an English teacher, he had told them, noting the district had highly qualified social studies teachers who are currently laid off.
The guidance counselor position was restored because of concerns about the ratio between the number of high school students and the number of counselors.
There are nearly 900 kids in high school and only three guidance counselors scheduled to be there, Mr. Putman said.
It was the second consecutive month that positions had been reinstated in the district.
During their June meeting, school board members had also reinstated several positions after reviewing their projected end-of-year expenses. Former Finance Committee Chairman Michael J. LeBire, who finished his term in June, had recommended that seven positions that had previously been abolished during the boards April 22 meeting be reinstated.
They included one alternative education liaison position, three reading teaching assistant positions, one psychologist position that was scheduled to become a BOCES position, a one-half business teacher position, a one-half mathematics teacher position and one English teacher position.
Effective July 10, alternative education liaison Kristopher Covell, reading teaching assistants Darcy LaBarge, Amanda Pierce and Karen LeCuyer, psychologist Clare Mackenzie-Mauch, mathematics teacher Eliza Pierce, business teacher Jan Normile and English teacher Trista Girard returned to the district with their salary and benefits reinstated without any penalty, Mr. LeBire said.
Facing a $5.6 million gap in their 2013-14 spending plan, district officials had eliminated 29.25 full-time equivalent positions, which meant the end for the Delta School of Choice. The budget also eliminated or reduced to part-time the jobs of 42 people at all levels, from administration to instruction to support.

Definitely, I would consider having a virtual office if I had to save money on paying rents for office space. Actually, virtual office space is the best option for people who want to run their office from home.

Having a virtual office is a good idea, my uncle is a broker and he recently set up a virtual office at the demand of his clients. He was a little skeptical about this because in his opinion nothing can replace a real office, point of purchase displays and having face to face conversation with your clients, but after trying this he liked a lot the concept.
Whatever your industry, a virtual office can help your business to maintain a professional image and flourish.
More and more companies are signing up for this type of service and are happy with the outcome.
Take Anna Hemmings, Olympian MBE, for example. Here, she speaks about how voxclever's Virtual Office service has provided the telecoms solution to support the growth of her training and coaching business, Beyond the Barriers.
"voxclever's national network of business centres and meeting rooms has been absolutely invaluable to us. They are available up and down the country in prestigious and convenient locations for transport links and that's absolutely essential for us and our clients."

Yea it def depends on the service you offer and the kind of customers you want to attract. If your customers are local then yea a home business address is fine, but if your targeting the larger client something like a virtual office in manhattan would probably help boost your image. It gives you that NYC presence that screams ligitamacy.
It depends on certain things. I have also heard of virtual assistants who make just under 1k a month and have quite a setup, and from a consultant who gets VA's started for practically nothing, if they join his marketing network of VA's for real estate transactions. So it can be a simple business to operate and sometimes remotely. I myself have networked with some and it is paying off handsomely and do recommend those who want to network with job opportunity.

I don`t think virtual offices should be used strictly for address purposes, but they are a great alternative to having a regular office space if you just need a place to meet clients occasionally.

Hello everyone!
Virtual office is the trend these days. Even in my field, real estate, many brokers/agents/investors are setting up this kind of office.
So if it works for you and your clients, why not, right?
Looking forward to more discussions in the future.

Well, there are many great advantages of using virtual office. Here are some of the best ones: Save on rent, Reduced overhead costs, Administrative support and More productive and flexible.

I would like to add that having virtual office with good phone sytem is a great advantages to provide services support without adding employees and no extra budget
Actually, I am, right now. I am planning to start a new business which I can run from home for that I think virtual office is the best option I have got.
I have a business that laws require a physical address be listed because Local Kids involves kids doing videos... also my daughter is frequently shown on these videos and I don't want a predator to put 2 and 2 together.
I use to spend $100 a month for a virtual address and get 2 hours of space per month plus could use the address. Then I went to a PO Box while trying to figure things out... my answer was a several room small office w/training room that I would help other use as well. I created the Business Space Coop in VA Beach and let others use the address for $30 a month, plus marketing on the Member board. For $100 a month they get 16 hours of use plus the address.
It is a win-win for everyone. I still work from home with Local Kids since I homeschool my 9 year old, but I now have an affordable business address and space I can use for meetings and trainings.

Virtual offices may sound like a good idea, and maybe are, as long as you aim to get your own offices as soon as possible. Your expensive offices are in cities and CBD's, which most home based business can't afford, and which have city traffic on the way there. But many neighborhoods have an office area nearby, where you should get yourself a small office. Even if you have to paint the whole building over.
Vitual office agencies makes a lot of money, from home business owners. You are paying far more per hour than the traditional way would've cost you.
Then it is better to rent close nearby, and even better to buy when you can. Paying rent means you're making someone else rich (read Rich Dad Poor Dad again!), while owning property turns it around. As more and more people work from home office space in the suburbs in many cases do become cheaper (or rather, rent is more negotiateble). So athough you don't have flashy offices in a high-rise building in the city centre, at least you'll have an office nearby. I think it was Google or one of those IT-companies who have done a study some time ago, which showed that productivity in home based businesses are below par when compared to traditional office workers.
You can even contact say 3 other home based business owners in your area, and share the rent with them doing your own virtual agency-thing. And get one receptionist there to help with al four's admin.
I have been working from my virtual office for the last five years, and have been able to raise a family and provide by doing this. I believe as a mother it is the most rewarding way of life, and it can become incredibly lucrative. I have enjoyed this experience so much that I developed a FREE 6DAY workshop to help inspire and motivate more women to become Momentrepreneurs.

Ringling College's BOAD Program Features Creativity@Work Series
UPDATE: Please visit the BOAD page for the most current information on the Creativity@Work series.
Ringling College's BOAD Program Features Creativity@Work Series
April 13, 2010 – In the past year, Ringling College of Art and Design has hosted many business executives and creative leaders from high-end, well-respected companies - all as part of the new BOAD (Business of Art and Design) program's Creativity@Work Series and Visiting Creative Leaders program.
Dr. Wanda Chaves, Lead Faculty for the BOAD program, started both the Creativity@Work series and the Visiting Creative Leaders program to bring a professional point of view and expertise to Ringling College students in order to prepare them for real-life working environments.
The Creativity@Work series selects top level executives and creative professionals from high-end companies to come to Ringling College and give presentations, not only to the BOAD class, but to the campus as well. These professionals present about their work experiences and current projects, as well as give advice and information about their industry.
The Visiting Creative Leaders program, an extension of the Creativity@Work series, was created to showcase the expertise of visiting artists and top creative professionals by having them not just visit, but stay on campus for a short "residency" (4 days, a week, or 2 weeks) to work hands-on with students on various projects and give a series of lectures in classes and to the campus.
To date, the program has already seen presentations and hands-on learning by speakers from Disney, Cirque du Soleil, Nickelodeon, Etsy, MoonBot, MTV, DreamWorks, and many more.
There have been two Visiting Creative Leaders during Spring semester 2010: David Grad, from MTV, and Kathy Altieri, from DreamWorks. Below is a recap from their visits:
David Grad, an Executive Producer from MTV in NY City, worked with a group of students from various majors. David is recreating his MTV teams here on campus. Students were assigned to a Project Management team and a Creative Team. The teams worked with David in class and then spent a Saturday with him working together to develop a promotion very similar to the promotions that he and his teams create to be aired on the MTV channel.
Kathy Altieri, a Production Designer from DreamWorks, did a series of talks in the BOAD classes and for the campus. Kathy just finished working on How to Train Your Dragon, DreamWorks' most recent 3D movie. Below are the topics she discussed:
- (a) Managing Change: the Real Story Behind How to Train Your Dragon Over the course of four years, they worked with three different sets of directors on three completely different ideas of what the story should be. Our last set of directors, Chris Sanders and Dean DeBlois, joined them with just over a year to go before release and completely re-vamped the story and characters. This class covered the range of visuals and artistic choices that were made along the way and discussed how they managed, creatively, the changes being asked for from an artistic, as well as business (financial), standpoint.
- (b) Primadonnas, Powerhouses, and Mice: Managing Your CreativesThis workshop explored leadership principles (and some secrets) for working in a creative business: How artists are managed in a large studio environment; successes and failures and plenty of true stories (the names were changed to protect the guilty).
- (c) The Creative Process: How to Generate a Large Body of Ideas and How to Tell When They Work Creativity is a mystery that beckons most of us, perhaps because of the hope that we will be able to touch the Great Infinite Source and channel true genius. For most of us, though, we have to beg, borrow and steal to get started and then do a lot of hard work. This course discussed the creative process as seen through the eyes of artists, dancers, writers, and others who have had to come up with "something that's never been seen before."

Just curious.
I tried playing some CTF games last night after about a month or two without QL, and while my skills have not completely gone to poot, aim and movement definitely feel awkward....and my score.... oh boy.
I usually find that I need to play for a few days before I get back to a comfortable level. Just curious what others have experienced.

By RICHARD SHAWStaff reporter
Joining it's big city cousins in the Salt Lake Valley, Carbon School District won the right to raise it's mill levy on property in the county to fund school programs and improvements on Tuesday.
The voted leeway that allows the district to raise their levy to the maximum amount was approved 1,031 to 1,006. Of the 13,085 registered voters in the county, only 2,037 voted in the election or a little over 15 percent.
The increase in the mill levy will mean the owner of a $100,000 house will pay an increase of $60-70 per year in property taxes. A business with the same value will pay about $110. It was the first voted leeway for the school district in the county since 1956.
Carbon School District's victory on the ballot parrotted balloting upstate in Utah's two largest school districts where Jordan and Granite School Districts also won. However, the money they will garner from their increase will go to very different needs than those of the local district.
Jordan and Granite will be mainly using their funds to build new schools and to operate them. Carbon School District, on the other hand, is not a growing district, but has shortfalls in funds like most districts because of the states reductions in school funding over the past couple of years as well as increases in costs.
The money will be used for a number of items including to give school employees raises and pay for health insurance cost increases, supply a special reading teacher to each elementary school, resurrect the gifted and talented program that was cut some time ago and to help reduce class sizes in the district.
Various areas of the county voted in different ways. Areas in favor of the leeway included East Carbon-Sunnyside 95-71, Castle Heights 192-95, South Price and south county 114-86, Indian Hills-Fairgrounds-Westwood 102-92 and Scofield 5-1.
Those areas voting against the leeway included Wellington 126-104, Spring Glen-Carbonville 173-124, North and Northeast Price 106-101, East and central Price 115-89 and Helper 141-105.
"We're happy it passed," stated district Superintendent David Armstrong. "The teachers worked hard in selling this election to the community to help the children and themselves."
While the money from the leeway hike will not be immediately available to the district (property taxes that are affected by it are not paid until December by area residents) the district has protocols to utilize the funds before they are available, according to the superintendent.

POTSDAM A senior federal court judge has rejected portions of a magistrate judges recommendations that a lawsuit brought against the town of Potsdam and others by a junkyard owner be dismissed in its entirety.
U.S. Magistrate Judge Andrew T. Baxter filed his order and recommendation in U.S. District Court, Syracuse, in July recommending that the action brought by James P. Engels, Parishville, be dismissed against all defendants.
Mr. Engels filed suit in June against the town and Potsdam Town Justice Samuel R. Charleson, as well as Parishville Town Justice Frank H. Dunning, Assistant St. Lawrence County District Attorneys Jonathan L. Becker and Joshua A. HaberkornHalm and state Department of Environmental Conservation Officer Jonathan D. Ryan.
Mr. Engels sought $50,000 in damages for what he claimed was mental anguish caused by having to appear in court more than 20 times over about three years to answer charges that in 2007, he stored more than 1,000 waste tires in his yard in violation of DEC regulations.
The case originally was slated to be heard in Parishville Town Court, but Justice Dunning recused himself and it was transferred to Potsdam Town Court.
Mr. Engels claimed in his complaint that Justice Dunning and Justice Charleson are well acquainted and that Justice Dunning made it clear to the Potsdam town court and DEC what he would like for an outcome to this case.
Mr. Engels alleged that court appearances repeatedly were postponed due to collusion between the justice and prosecutors.
In 2009, Mr. Engels admitted violating DEC regulations and was sentenced to a conditional discharge.
However, a subsequent DEC violation was issued, and Mr. Engels returned to court for violating terms of the conditional discharge and was fined $1,278 in December 2009.
In his lawsuit, he claimed the conviction and the fine were improper.
In his recommendation, Judge Baxter said the action should be dismissed against Justice Charleson and Justice Dunning because both have judicial immunity for actions relating to the exercise of their judicial functions, while the case against the two assistant district attorneys should be dismissed because they have prosecutorial immunity.
Judge Baxter said, citing a 1994 Supreme Court action, that Mr. Engels cannot seek damages if a decision in his favor then would invalidate his criminal conviction, unless the conviction had been reversed on appeal, expunged by executive order or declared invalid by a state court.
The judge also said that the revocation of Mr. Engelss conditional discharge and subsequent fine were not a violation of his due process rights.
In a response filed to the recommendation, Mr. Engels mostly repeated claims in his original complaint, but also claimed for the first time that the revocation of his conditional discharge and the ensuing fine were reversed by St. Lawrence County in August 2012 because Town Court had not fully complied with state criminal procedure law.
In a decision issued this week, Senior Judge Norman A. Mordue said that, even though Mr. Engels did not provide a copy of the County Court decision, the allegation is sufficient to make out a plausible claim that the revocation and sentence had been reversed on direct appeal, as required under the Supreme Court decision.
He said that, despite Judge Baxters reliance on the higher courts decision in his recommendation, he found that dismissal of Mr. Engelss suit was not warranted based on the Supreme Court ruling.
Judge Mordue agreed with Judge Baxter that all of the claims against Mr. Charleson, Mr. Becker and Mr. HaberkornHalm be dismissed under the theory of prosecutorial immunity, but declined to dismiss the action against the town, Mr. Ryan or Mr. Dunning.
Judge Mordue stated that based on the reversal of the criminal conviction, the question of whether Mr. Engels has a viable claim against any of the defendants must be determined at a later stage in this case.
