Delegation - Why We Should But Why We Don't
by Andy Masters - Nov, 2007
Most of us are aware of the positives from delegating—we've heard them before. In theory, it's a great concept: "Get other people to do your work for you…Awesome!" We also know that, theoretically, we can get more done in less time if we delegate properly. The results of not delegating include burnout, stress, and getting overwhelmed with mundane tasks that distract us from our most important responsibilities. Yet, why is dele...

1) Build a Relationship With Your Boss Like it or not, no single individual has a greater impact on your career future than your direct supervisor. So, how do you get on their good side from the start? Managers want to feel that you truly care, and that you are "in it with them" as a team. Bring your boss solutions, not problems.

What College Grads Don't Know Might Hurt Them
by Andy Masters - Nov, 2007
Many college graduates will enter the working world with energy, optimism, and enthusiasm. Unfortunately, many may also be greeted with a reality illustrated by the expression "Welcome to the Jungle." Earning a college degree proves that a student has completed assignments and passed tests for four years, but are they truly prepared for what lies ahead? This transition can often be a major culture shock. Physically, most...

Dukes finish with a time of 7:16.87
Dukes Earn Two Medals at Spring Break Exhibition Race
Dukes take novice 8 and varisty 4b
In 2007, exactly eight months after his hiring, he guided the Dukes' to a third place finish at the 2007 Atlantic 10 Women's Rowing Championship, the highest finish ever attained by the program since joining the Atlantic 10 Conference in 1996. The previous best finish was seventh in 1999, 2001 and 2005.
In the nine Atlantic 10 Championships that Coach Setting has overseen, the Dukes have captured fifteen total medals, including seven gold, four silver, and four bronze. The most recent medals came at the 2014 Atlantic 10 Championship in the Varsity 8+ (bronze) and the Third Varsity 8+ (silver). The Dukes Lightweight 4+ from the 2007 season set a conference championship course record time that has yet to be eclipsed. There have been a total of thirteen student-athletes named as All-Conference selections over Coach Setting's tenure.
At the Dad Vail regatta, the largest collegiate race in the country, Coach Setting has led the Varsity 8+ to the grand finals three consecutive seasons (2013-2015). The appearance in 2013 was the first time in program history the Varsity 8+ gained a berth into the most prestigious event at the regatta. At the recent 2015 Dad Vail, the Varsity 8+ placed 6th in the grand final while the Freshman 8+ took home a bronze medal in a tightly contested race. The Dukes captured silver medal placements for three consecutive years (2007-2009) in the Freshman 4+ event in addition to achieving a bronze medal in 2014 in the same event category. Other appearances in grand final events were made by the Lightweight 4+ (2007 and 2009), the Varsity 4+ (2011), and the Freshman 8+ (2012).
In addition to the successes at the A-10 Championship and the Dad Vail, over Coach Setting's tenure, the Dukes have competed in the Intercollegiate Rowing Association regatta as one of six teams chosen to race in the inaugural Lightweight 4+ event at 2007 IRA, finishing fourth in a tightly contested race. Also in 2007, the Dukes Lightweight 8+ achieved a national ranking as high as 11th in a US Rowing coaches poll. Following the 2011 season, the first Duquesne rower in program history, Rachael Thornton, was selected to the U23 Lightweight squad.
Before returning to the Bluff, Coach Setting spent five years (2001-2006) coaching the rowing programs at Pittsburgh's Fox Chapel High School serving as the boy's and girl's assistant coach beginning in the fall of 2001 and heading the girl's varsity program from 2003-06. Fox Chapel reined as the 2005 and 2006 Midwest Scholastic team points and women's points trophy champions giving the Foxes the distinction of being the first high school to take back-to-back trophies in the 13-year history of the 12-state Midwest Scholastic Championships.
In the spring of 2006 at the Western PA Scholastic Rowing Sprints Championship, Fox Chapel captured the team championship trophy and the women's point's trophy. The Foxes won the point's trophy in 2005 as well and took first in the Varsity 8+ and Varsity 4+ events. Coach Setting also guided his women's Lightweight 4+ to 10th place and the women's Lightweight 8+ to 12th at the 2006 US Rowing Youth National Championship. The Lightweight 8 finished eighth at the 2005 Youth Nationals.
Setting competed on Duquesne's men's club rowing team while an undergraduate. He graduated from Duquesne with honors in 2001 with a dual degree in management information systems and communication studies. In 2009, he attained a Master's of Science in Sports Leadership degree from Duquesne.
The 36-year old Newtown, PA native holds a Level 3 US Rowing coaching certificate and resides in Dravosburg with his wife, Jennifer.

text: The truth that the Tarot provides can feel unbelievably magical. But here's a news flash: the magic of Tarot really comes from you. It's all in your ability to focus on your Tarot reading with real intention and purpose. You'll always finish a Tarot reading with more knowledge and direction than you started with. But understanding how to phrase your question and making a conscious effort to get real with yourself and your situation brings out the real magic, making that "a-ha" moment you're looking for totally possible. Focus is the key here, so if an honest solution is what you're looking or, be sure to cut out the distractions and dig into your heart!

Your makeup tells you if your shade is right. "If you've gone too dark, you'll be piling on concealer to erase shadows and circles exaggerated by that inky frame of hair," says colorist Sharon Dorram-Krause of the John Frieda Salon in New York City. "If your makeup seems to be working, you've got the right balance."
It's OK to go brown-gray. A lot of women are choosing semipermanent color, which covers some gray but not all. Although it washes out in about six weeks, it looks more natural and dimensional than a flat, permanent color.
New Essentials
To adjust depth of color: Garnier Nutrisse Nourishing Nutri-Browns ($7). To maintain color longer: John Frieda Luminous Color Glaze ($10). To gently blend gray without ammonia: Clairol Natural Instincts ($9).

Most traffic driving west down Washington street in Champaign near the post office is headed to Neil street, however if you chance to look to your right, you will notice a store front a little different than the others. There are a lot of bright colors and unique looking items in the shiny windows.
B.Lime opened in November 2008 as a business venture for the owner and her husband to bring Eco-friendly shopping to Champaign-Urbana. Their goal is to provide the local community with environmentally friendly products that a person would only be able to find in larger cities. They also want to be, in their own words, "a brief gathering place for like-minded individuals, a source of inspiration, a company focused on sustainability, a community partner..."
A wide variety of products are carried from outdoor use items like rain collection barrels to BPA free containers and baby products. There is also a pet section for Rover to get in on the act as well. The items are stocked in a neat but casual method against the colorful backdrop of the surrounding walls.
Their website is well organized and explains their principles with contact information for those interested in getting involved within the community as well as displaying their product lines. The web address is www.blimegreen.com/

All about channel and restaurant slugs
This is a unique name that identifies a restaurant or a channel. No 2 restaurants or channels can share the same slug. Typically a slug is a restaurant or channel name without special characters and spaces.
To simplify the documentation, we will represent the Channel and Restaurant slugs as channel and restaurant
When you register a restaurant on Zuppler, a slug matching the restaurant name is generated. If there is a restaurant with the slug already existing, then the system will add a number suffix to the name. The Slug for the restaurant changes when the restaurant name is changed to match the new name.
If you visit any restaurant on Zuppler, you can view the slug.
restaurant in this case is chiangmai.

15 year old Chelan High School Freshman, Clayton Kimsey, is listed in serious condition at HarborviewMedicalCenter in Seattle after suffering severe burns in a campfire accident this past weekend.
Chief Tim Lemon with Chelan Fire and Rescue says the incident occurred just before 6 PM Sunday night in UnionValley as Clayton was starting a fire.
Following initial medical treatment at Lake Chelan Community Hospital Clayton was airlifted to the Harborview Burn Unit for treatment of his burns. It is anticipated Clayton will receive multiple skin grafts over the next weeks and months and will likely remain in the hospital for an extended period.
An account has been set up at Bank of America to help the family with medical and travel expenses related to Clayton's recovery.
Several of Clayton's family members, including his mother Sissy and sister Tia, work at the Chelan Safeway and fellow employees have placed donation cans at both the bakery and the customer service counter for those who wish to support the family.
All of us here at KOZI wish a speedy recovery for Clayton and look forward to welcoming him back to home as soon as possible. We would like to thank Kimsey family friend, Carrie Melton and all the Safeway employees who helped us put this story together.

False Representation Fraud
While all forms of fraud involve some sort of false representation, this section focuses on scams and swindles.
These types of fraud often occur at a more personal level, as opposed to securities fraud or bank fraud where the victim is a faceless corporation.
If you are facing false representation charges, you can connect with a criminal defense attorney who can explain the laws and charges against you. Simply fill out the free evaluation form on this page of call 877-445-1059 today.
False Representation Defined
Some instances of false representation may not be charged as fraud. Depending on the circumstances and state laws, they might be considered theft, tax evasion or embezzlement. There may also be elements of identity theft involved.
Naturally, the penalties vary widely, depending upon money lost and damages. Convictions typically carry restitution for these, and may include additional fines and jail time. The multiple laws involved and potential penalties are two reasons people charged with any type of fraud seek the help of a criminal defense attorney.
This short word can cover a lot of ground and includes any "cons," short for confidence games. This includes con games like three card Monte, where a street hustler convinces a passerby to wager on simple card game. What the passerby doesn't know is that the game is rigged, and the dealer, or con man, will always come out on top.
Thus is the heart of scams. They each make a promise, typically of wealth, along with assurances, or confidences, that the offer is legit. Other well-known scams include:
- Ponzi schemes: These complicated forms of investment fraud promise big returns from the stock market.
- Email fraud: Otherwise known as spam, these scams may offer to help get you money from a Nigerian bank or allow you to purchase prescription drugs at low prices.
- Get-rich-quick schemes: Any investment or "business plan" promising fast riches for little work.
Marriage fraud
Marriage fraud typically occurs in two forms. The first relates to deceit used to initiate marriage for immigration purposes, to secure marriage-based green cards. In fact, government immigration agencies have developed standard questions they pose to anyone suspected of committing marriage fraud. They are looking out for anyone who is falsely representing themselves or pretending to be in love with the purpose of inciting marriage so they may remain in a foreign country.
Marriage fraud may also relate to tax fraud. If anyone claims a false or non-existent spouse as a dependent or deceitfully marries for tax evasion purposes, they could be charged under tax fraud statutes.
For example, if you filed taxes and claimed a false spouse as a dependent to increase your deductions, this could be considered marriage fraud and tax fraud. Likewise, using stolen personal identity information and representing that as your spouse is illegal.
Charlatanism is a fancy word for people using deception to obtain money from customers who think they are getting true services.
Charlatans may advertise having certain skills or powers. They may pose as doctors, healers or fortune tellers, to name a few examples. Their claims cannot be backed up with real results however, and their customers pay for nothing more than a show.
In some cases involving charlatans or professional misrepresentation, laws other than fraud may be involved. Impersonating a doctor, for example, is its own crime in many states. Charlatans may face criminal arrest for their acts, as well as civil lawsuits seeking restitution for lost money or other damages.
Speak to a Defense Attorney about Fraud Charges
Whatever form it may take, fraud is a serious crime. If you have been charged with, or think you have committed, an act of fraud, contact a criminal defense attorney today. To speak with a lawyer near you, simply fill out our free online evaluation form on this page or call, toll free, 877-445-1059.
The above summary of false representation is by no means all-inclusive and is not legal advice. Laws may have changed since our last update. For the latest information on false representation laws and penalties, speak to a criminal defense attorney in your area.

Bond Amortization Methods
Original post by Kathy Adams McIntosh of Demand Media
Companies sell bonds to investors in order to raise funds for company activities. Each bond includes a face value, a stated interest rate and a maturity date. The face value refers to the denomination for which the company issues the bond. The company sells the bond for a different price than the face value. If the bond selling price exceeds the face value, the bond sells at a premium. If the face value exceeds the bond selling price, the bond sells at a discount. The company amortizes the premium or discount over the term of the bond. Two different methods exist for amortizing the bond premium or discount.
Straight Line
The straight line method of amortization calculates an equal dollar amount to amortize each period. The accountant calculates the total premium or discount by subtracting the face value from the selling price. The accountant divides the total premium or discount by the total number of periods remaining on bond term. This calculates the amortization amount.
Effective Interest
The effective interest method uses the market interest rate of the bond. The market rate of interest refers to the actual interest rate paid based on the book value of the bond, not the face value. The book value of the bond equals the face value of the bond plus the premium or minus the discount. The company calculates the amount of premium or discount to amortize by multiplying the market interest rate by the book value of the bond.
These amortization methods contain several similarities. The amortization methods both record the amortization as interest. If the company amortizes a premium, the interest reduces net income. If the company amortizes a discount, the interest increases net income. The end result of amortizing the premium or bond remains the same for both methods. The book value of the bond will equal the face value of the bond.
Several differences exist between the two methods. The straight line method requires less complex calculations and includes equal amortization amounts. The effective interest method requires the accountant to recalculate the amortization amount each period. The amortization amount varies each period. The interest recorded with each amortization entry remains the same using the straight line method. It declines with the effective interest method.

Block for block there are no better views in the metro area than those seen downtown Denver. From the flowered crest of Confluence park through Cherry Creek trail and other routes, the views can be spectacular.
The most sensible routes in to downtown for short distance bikers (like myself) are light rail and RTD bus. Both are quick and cheap. Confluence Park is the most logical place to start a downtown excursion. There are many trails and parts of these routes are less than a mile to the 16th Street mall. Please obey the mall bike rules. Walk them on the sidewalks, and Sunday is the only day you may ride your bike on the bus route down the mall. Once on the mall there are myriad shops, restaurants, theaters (live and film), hotels, bowling, and other entertainment and education.
On the west side of downtown sits Auraria Campus, home of Metro State College, historical Tivoli Brewery and two historical houses of worship. The brewry is no longer brewing, but is home to offices and a theater.
To the south is the state capitol building and Civic Center Park. Several events are scheduled at the park each year, and the view from the dome of the capitol is outstanding.
East of downtown is Five Points-Curtis Park. A re-emerging neighborhood once home to a lively night life with bars, clubs, and lounges dominating the Welton St. strip between 24th. Street to Downing Street.
Finally, north of downtown is Confluence Park, and area once occupied by the original downtown district, and now home to beautiful parks, trails and kayaking in the Platte River.
Plan one entire day for Elitch's Amusement Park.
An entire day may be well spent on a downtown Denver excursion. The traffic will be heavier downtown, and always come prepared for the weather.
See you on the trails

Oh, this is just the beginning of what Obama has in store for our nation.
Consider his plans regarding our electricity:
"You know, when I was asked earlier about the issue of coal, uh, you know — Under my plan of a cap and trade system, electricity rates would NECESSARILY SKYROCKET. Even regardless of what I say about whether coal is good or bad. Because I'm capping greenhouse gases, coal power plants, you know, natural gas, you name it — whatever the plants were, whatever the industry was, uh, they would have to retrofit their operations. That will cost money. They will pass that money on to consumers (emphasis mine)." -Barack Obama
This is also going to have a huge impact on trucking companies who will be forced to replace their fleet of trucks for newer ones. Get ready for food prices, and prices for all other goods and services to go through the roof.
Our kids are going to have no economic future.

One old man. Got your electric car yet or are you just being a little stubborn about holding on to your polluting gas guzzler? Where will all the electricity come from for all the electric cars? Not coal, that's for sure! Nuclear? Nope, too risky-no one wants to live next to a nuke plant. So far wind mills kill birds and cost more than the power they generate! Solar? Maybe but mining and refining all the metals for the batteries pollutes a lot since the sun doesn't shine at night or on cloudy days! Dang! Guess we are stuck with fossil fuels, at least until someone comes up with an affordable alternative! Me, I drive a Ford F150 with pride! I am just glad we are able to use fracking technology in N. Dakota and Texas private land which has kept fuel price lower than Obama was hoping for!

Edisto Island and Edisto Beach SC Real Estate
Edisto Island Real Estate Remains Unspoiled
Edisto Island Real Estate: A Cherished Way of Life
Edisto Island, South Carolina, is one of only a handful of enclaves along the East Coast and among Charleston SC real estate that has escaped the rush to commercialize.
Holding tightly to its Lowcountry character and cherished way of life, Edisto Island embodies the casual Southern lifestyle of a bygone era. Perhaps that is because Edisto Island is isolated by miles of salt marshes, wide rivers, creeks and bays, and essentially landlocked throughout history by grand plantations, making Edisto Island real estate some of the best within the Charleston real estate market.
But more likely Edisto Island's connection with the past is due to Edisto Island real estate owners embracing the old way of life, forever determined to preserve their secluded paradise.
Edisto Island Real Estate: Location
The rural, unspoiled Edisto Island lies about halfway between historic Charleston to the north, and the resort lifestyle found on Hilton Head Island to the south. A 55-square-mile slice of peace and solitude, Edisto Island seems a holdout from the 18th and 19th centuries. The antebellum plantation homes and historic churches that compose much of Edisto Island real estate, accentuated by Spanish moss-draped live oak trees, dot the countryside along scenic SC Highway 174.
Edisto Island Real Estate: Agriculture
The sea breezes of Edisto Island and Edisto Beach carry a hint of fresh produce – of squash, beans, okra, peppers, eggplant, sweet corn, peaches, strawberries, blueberries, tomatoes, cucumbers, cantaloupes, watermelons, and eggplant – as the season's crops ripen in the fertile soil of Edisto Island's working farms. Sprawling salt marshes teaming with South Carolina's revered flora and fauna invariably announce the tidal creeks that criss-cross Edisto Island.
Edisto Island Real Estate: Beaches and the Intracoastal Waterway
Carved from the mainland by the Intracoastal Waterway and the north and south branches of the pristine black waters of the Edisto River, Edisto Island culminates along four and a half miles of gloriously sandy Atlantic beach. The small town of Edisto Beach, with less than 650 year-round townsfolk and only a few more that can claim to be owners of Edisto Beach real estate, sits on the southern-most tip of Edisto Island overlooking the beautiful blue waters of Saint Helena Sound.
Edisto Island Real Estate: Edisto Beach
Edisto Island is part of Charleston County, but the tiny town of Edisto Beach is located in Colleton County. For decades, Edisto Island real estate owners have reveled in Edisto Beach's laid-back family atmosphere.
Since there are no hotels, movie theaters or even stop lights on Edisto Island, days are filled with shrimping, crabbing, fishing, biking, sailing, boating, waterskiing, and beach walks, where pelicans soar overhead and porpoises can be spotted playing just off shore.
Tranquil mornings of sunshine and sandcastles; lazy afternoons napping in hammocks; and evening strolls along the shore are all part of life on Edisto Island for owners of Edisto Island real estate. It's no wonder that Edisto Island has been named one of the "Best Places to Retire" by Money Magazine.
For those who seek a casual, uncluttered lifestyle in tune with an unspoiled environment, Edisto Island and Edisto Beach are the perfect place to call home – or second home. With beachfront and other barrier island real estate and property close to nature, Charleston real estate investors may be eligible to take advantage of the U.S. Government's 1031 Tax Deferred Exchange laws that help save tax dollars on investment properties in the Edisto Island real estate market. //

The chart achievements keep rolling in (the deep) for Ms. Adele Laurie Blue Adkins. With another week spent at #1 on the Billboard Top 200—better luck next week, Casting Crowns—Adele's 21 now has notched an astounding 13 weeks on top our nation's albums charts. The run, while still falling a bit short of the 54-week run of the West Side Story soundtrack (damn, Sondheim and Bernstein must have been just printing money in the '60s), is still the longest for any one album since the late-'90s, when a star-studded soundtrack from a movie chronicling one of our nation's greatest disasters—that's right, the Godzilla OST—spent 16 weeks on top.
Nah, just kidding, it was this one.
You remember, it had that song.
Anyway, congrats to Adele on her latest sales benchmark, which pushes over her four million copies total sold of 21 in the States alone. That puts her at about 4 million more than poor Patrick Stump who, despite his best promotional efforts, moved a scant 9,000 copies of his fine solo debut Soul Punk in its first week of sales. Hey, no record-buying public is perfect, and we're glad they mostly got it right with the Adele megasales, at least. We'll just continue to blast "Run Dry (X Heart X Fingers)" in non-violent protest.

Drycleaners are experiencing what may be the worst time in the history of the industry. Economists are predicting that the U.S. is either in a recession or at the start of one.
Orders for durable goods are down, the dollar is at a new low, home foreclosures are rising fast, and fuel costs are going up with no end in sight. New home construction is at its lowest in 27 years. Business in the future is going to be bleak, the experts say. All I can say is, "Welcome to the world of drycleaning."
For better or worse, this is our industry. We've seen escalating costs for years. We've seen declining demand for years. And we've seen suppliers move offshore to keep products affordable for years. It's like a microcosm of American economics.
Take the industry's recent past and pile the downward pressures of the world economy on top of it, what can possibly make things worse? Now, they say, the good times are over, and business is going to get tough. What are you going to do? What can you do?
Unfortunately for some, it's too late. In many cases, ongoing efforts to cut costs have cut into the "muscle" of the business, and there's nothing left. These operations can just wait until whatever's left atrophies away.
Your perspective will make the difference in your chances of survival, growth and success. The first issue is your self-perspective. The question I ask everyone is, "Are you a drycleaner, or are you a businessperson?"
Those answering "drycleaner" can stop reading now and find themselves a good resume-writer. Those who are businesspeople first and just happen to be drycleaners, however, have the best chance to survive or even flourish through the upcoming challenges.
For those who think that the best way to survive and grow is by cutting costs further, there are only so many costs you can cut. You must have a business to be in business, and it is impossible to have a business and no costs.
Businesses incur costs in order to generate revenues that exceed those costs and produce a positive return, thus rewarding the person taking the risk in the first place. The world is full of people who spend their entire lives without incurring business costs — they're called employees.
You, the owner, have chosen a different path. Most owners have learned the art of cost containment. Cutting waste is natural to anyone who has been in business for any amount of time. New and better cost-cutting measures are always welcome, of course.
There are limits to cost-cutting methods, though. If you find a way to cut costs 5% and revenue drops 10% as a result, there's no benefit in the savings.
No business has ever cut costs to greatness. So what can you do? My answer is to use return on investment (ROI) as the rule. With ROI, you can determine which option is in the best interests of the company: The higher the ROI, the better the choice.
With cost-cutting reaching its limits, the competition getting desperate and customers cutting back, the only choice for you is to improve efficiencies. For example, say you are going to hire one of two applicants for a mark-in job. Both are nice, both would fit in, and both are punctual.
One can properly enter and tag 20 pieces an hour and accepted an offer of $8.50 per hour. The other has lots of experience and can tag 35 pieces per hour, but won't work for less than $11.00 an hour. Who would you hire? If you like them equally well, you should make your choice based on ROI. The answer it provides will leave no question as to which person is the better one to hire.
Basing your decision on cost per piece, the first person has a cost of $8.50/20 pieces, or $0.425 per piece. The second candidate has a cost of $11.00/35 pieces, or $0.314 per piece. Surprise! The more expensive hire has a lower cost per hour and offers higher ROI; you hire that person.
For the person who wants to hire the $8.50-per-hour employee because they're cheaper, that employee will have to mark in 26.7 pieces per hour to be more cost-effective than the $11.00-per-hour person. Perhaps you can get them to do this over time, but until you do, you'll sacrifice ROI.
Now, let's say you have the option of buying a new van, at a great price, with better gas mileage, or you can get a great deal on a new pants press. Which is the better choice? Either one will add to your business' efficiency and save money over time.
In this situation, you figure that the van will save about $.35 per mile, and your driver averages 150 miles per day. Your expected savings for each day is $52.50. The monthly payment is $375; driving it five days a week four weeks a month, your net savings on $375 a month is $33.75 a day.
The press issue is similar. In a five-day week, you can increase throughput with the new unit and decrease the hours needed to press pants by eight hours a week. The average wage you pay a presser is about $13.00 per hour, and the new press will save $104 a week. The cost of the press is $200 a month.
To compare separate options, the first step is to get them to the same criteria. You can't compare weekly results with daily results, nor can you compare a week's savings to daily savings. Use a common time period; since your payments for both options would be monthly, you might as well use a monthly timetable to assess the benefits.
For the van, a daily benefit of $33.75 times five days times four weeks, equals total improved efficiencies of $675, or $300 after paying the monthly note. The weekly savings is $104 times 4, or $416 per month, or $216 after your $200 payment. Which option is the best? The van, right? It offers a $300-per-month efficiency.
The problem is that the van costs almost twice what the press costs. We now need to complete this exercise to reach an actual ROI calculation—a ratio of cost to benefit.
The van's ROI is $375/675, or 1.80. An investment in the van will return 180% of its cost. (For an option to be considered, it must make at least 100%; "1.0" is the break-even point. Anything less, and you're losing money on the "improvement.")
The monthly benefit from the press is $216, and it costs $200 per month. Its ROI is 1.08, or 108%. The press will add to profitability, but the van adds more—for every dollar you spend on it, you get $1.80 back.
The biggest surprise for most cleaners is that the activity with the highest ROI often doesn't occur in the plant. A good marketing program can offer an ROI of 200% or more. That means your plant will get all of the money you spend on operating the program back, and pocket an equal amount in profits.
I know of no capital investment that comes close to delivering that kind of return. In the case of a new machine, it can take years to reach the break-even point; with marketing, it can be measured in months.
Marketing firms will promise great returns. One might say, "I can increase business 300%;" another will say, "I'll double your money." I'm in the business, and I'm not sure what those claims mean. You can make the numbers show anything you want.
Next month, I'll review several marketing plans and show you a relatively simple spreadsheet you can use to determine the real effect some of these offers. By measuring the ROI of a marketer's claims, you will be able to find the company or methodology that's the best solution for your business.
I've said this before, but it bears repeating: The future of drycleaning is no longer inside the plant. It's in the customers.
Are You Ready for Recession?
Drycleaners are experiencing what may be the worst time in the history of the industry. Economists are predicting that the U.S. is either in a recession or at the start of one.

Date: December 08 2012
Formula One supremo Bernie Ecclestone believes Michael Schumacher was wrong to return to the sport, claiming the German had severely damaged his legacy as a seven-time world champion.
The 43-year-old Schumacher quit the sport in 2006 before being tempted into an ill-fated return in 2010 at Mercedes where he spent three seasons being largely outshone by teammate Nico Rosberg.
He brought the curtain down on his second spell at last month's Brazilian Grand Prix where he finished seventh.
"I would rather he had stopped as a seven-time world champion than stopping now," Ecclestone told www.formula1.com.
"People new to the sport - people who have joined the F1 fan fraternity just recently - will remember Michael now, not as he was. They don't see the hero that he was but the human that can fail."
But Ecclestone had some words of comfort for Schumacher, admitting that three-time champion Sebastian Vettel will find it hard to break his record of seven crowns.
"He is not halfway there. It will be a question of how good his team will stay - or how bad the others are," said Ecclestone.
"When Michael won his five titles with Ferrari it was because Ferrari did a better job than any other team - that is the same with Red Bull at the moment. Whether they can continue, you don't know. Let's wait and see."

More: Does age have anything to do with this level of confidence?
JF: In my case, yes. I didn't always feel comfortable. At times I felt like the red-headed stepchild, thinking everyone was skinnier or prettier than me. I think when you find your adult body and you know this is your temple, you really start to listen to that. I don't want my girls to ever struggle with self-image issues. You need to say, "I am who I am." Although that wasn't always the case for me, I am so proud of who I am now!

I have at the moment a logon.cmd script, that I'm using to map network drives to the users profile. It looks like this:
net use m: /delete
net use m: \\BOB\onboarding
net use n: /delete
net use n: \\BOB\bookings
net use j: /delete
net use j: \\BOB\accounts
It works fine up until it gets up to a folder that the current user cannot access, it then asks for a username and password instead of erroring and continuing.
Notes: This very script used to work on another Samba PDC network, but I've moved it over to another server (Still Samba PDC) and now its breaking.
Is there anyway for it to ignore the username/password prompt and just continue?

Aldon Smith, the 24-year-old linebacker for the San Francisco 49ers, appeared in a Santa Clara, California, courtroom on July 19 where he pleaded no contest to weapons and DUI charges. The sentencing for those charges proved favorable for the beleaguered linebacker when a Superior Court judge reduced his original felony weapons charges to misdemeanors taking any additional jail time for Smith off the table.
Instead of any added jail time, Judge Daniel Nishigaya sentenced Smith to three years' probation and 235 hours of community service, according to USA Today Sports. During his probationary period, the judge also informed Smith that he is prohibited from owning any weapons or ammo. Smith has already completed 35 hours of community service.
The judge also gave Smith credit for the one day he had already spent behind bars, "reducing his time on the work crew from 12 days to 11." The sentencing definitely went in Smith's favor, which could have earned him more than four years in prison.
The judge ruled he can serve on the work crew on Mondays, starting July 28, which should cause limited conflicts with his NFL schedule. San Francisco isn't slated to play on a Monday night until Oct. 13.
Smith's weapons charges stem from a June 2012 party at his home that got totally out of control. A fight broke out during that party. Smith suffered several stab wounds reportedly trying to break up that fight; and two others were shot. During the police investigation at his home, cops uncovered "a cache of weapons, including at least three assault rifles that were illegal in California." The young linebacker ended up being charged with three felony counts of illegal possession of an assault weapon in relation to the stabbing incident at his house party and the weapons found at his home.
His drunk driving charges are a result of a separate incident that occurred on Sept. 20, 2013, after Smith hit a tree with his pickup truck in San Jose. Following that accident, he was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence and marijuana possession. Smith was released a short time after that arrest, according to Fox News, and managed to still make the next team practice for the 49ers. Prosecutors In the case against Smith said that the gridiron star received no special treatment in sentencing and hope that he got his wakeup call.
''In the end, we treated Aldon like any other person in similar circumstances,'' Santa Clara County District Attorney Brian Buckelew said.
'"We're optimistic that the punishment will be sufficient to get him on the right track.'' ~ Yahoo! Sports
And although his court actions have been settled, Smith is still facing possible NFL sanctions. Greg Aiello, spokesperson for the NFL, announced yesterday that Smith's case "will be reviewed under our policies."
In April, Smith was arrested at LAX airport after he became belligerent and uncooperative with a TSA agent. Smith led the agent to believe that he was carrying a bomb. Prosecutors in Los Angeles dropped all charges against him in that case. See the video accompanying this article for more on that story.

Thanks for sharing this recipe.
I used apricots , muffins were yummy!
Hi..thanks for sharing. Can I just check with you, for your directions 1 and 2, when you mentioned mix well and stir until just blended, do you just mix and stir normally using a spoon and is by cake mixer?
Using a silicon spatula will be easier than spoon. No need to use a cake mixer for this recipe.

Tag Archives: Mayfair School
Stay classy Saskatoon
Today while taking Oliver to Mayfair School (which has a great new park that just opened), a car went through the intersection while we were approaching the crosswalk. Â I never thought too much about it but the guy pulled ahead, got out, and waited for us and then apologized for driving through the intersection while we were there. Â He said that it drives him crazy how cars ignore crosswalks, plus he was in a school zone.
I am not sure that he was as guilty as he said (we were about 4 feet away from the corner) but it was really nice to hear someone respect pedestrians and kids. Â We accepted his apology, Oliver chatted with him and his kid, and went off to class. As we were walking out, he apologized again and said that his older kid had to jump out of the way of a speeding idiot last year in a school zone which is why he was a little sensitive to it. Â I would be as well. Â Still it's nice to know that even if we don't always get it right, at least people are trying.
Why not Caroline Robins School?
Excellent article by The StarPhoenix's Janet French
Why do so many parents spurn Caroline Robins for the stuffed halls of Dundonald?
One Hampton Village resident said some of her neighbours can't get over the outdated "community school†label.
Justine McCaffrey, the president of the Hampton Village community association, has two sons, four and two years old. Although they had strongly considered Caroline Robins, her older child attends Dundonald preschool because it's closer to their house and a teenage neighbour can walk him to and from school.
"Had we lived any further away from the schools, I would be taking my kids to Caroline Robins.â€
She's heard parents say they won't consider sending their kids to Caroline Robins because it was a "community school.†That used to be a designation that gave schools extra provincial funding for nutrition programs and other extras to help lower-income students.
A third of Caroline Robins' students are First Nations and Metis.
It's up to the school division to dispel stereotypes about Caroline Robins and tell parents what the school has to offer, she said.
"People sit there and they look at the label 'community school,' and they think (Caroline Robins is an) inner-city school, where there's less fortunate kids, that the teachers aren't the same — which they are,†McCaffrey said. "It's no different of a school than Dundonald is, or St. Peter, or any of the schools in the area.â€
The answer is that Caroline Robins school is a community school because the public school system has decided that the kids that go there need additional supports. Â Sadly they need the supports (like feeding programs and other supports) because they are not all getting them at home. Â Often it means disengaged parents which lead to lower classroom performance. Â So as a parent in Hampton Village, do you want to send your kid to an overcrowded school with more engaged parents and students or a community school with less engaged parents and lower performing students? Â The numbers answer that question.
From Mayfair to Caswell
As Wendy wrote, Mark has been transferred from Mayfair School to Caswell School. The experience has been a really good one for Mark so far which kind of frustrates me. There are more computers, a better paint job, more extra curricular activities, and resources for kids at Caswell despite the schools only being five blocks away from each other. There were a lot of factors involving our move but both of these schools are publically funded schools and yet one has far superior resources thrown at it.
I know school population is part of it. While Caswell has almost no split classes, all of the classes that Mark would be in until he graduated out of there were split classes but shouldn't all schools have access to the same quality of library, the same access to computers and the same access to educational resources? Especially when they are all of five blocks apart. A good education should not be geographically based.
Of course I would love to be proven wrong. Too bad the Star Phoenix or Planet S Magazine didn't have the inclination to compare and rate public schools and compare student – teacher, student – computer, student – teacher assistant ratios, extra curricular activities, and look at what grade students could start entering into a run of split classrooms. It would be interesting to see.
What to do…
Wendy and I chronicled some of the struggles that Mark has had at Mayfair School. The school faces declining enrollment and he has had split classes since grade 2. As he enters into grade 4, he has another split class. Apparently there are enough grade four kids for a class but not enough grade 3 and 4 students. It looks like split classes from here until high school for Mark.
Last year Mark and most of his friends suffered from a horrible bully. It came to a head when in December I got a call that Mark had punched this kid in the face in the hallway. While I kind of freaked out about it, I don't like hearing that Mark punched a kid in the face, in the end, everyone felt he was justified which gave me an indication how bad things had become. While the bully was later moved to a different school, he was replaced by another one a week later. Like most parents in the school, we decided to walk Mark to and from the 1/2 block we live away from the school. While Mark was okay, one of his friends was badly beaten up, to the point where it crossed the line from bullying to assault.
Like a lot of parents in his class, we debated all summer over whether or not to put Mark back into that school or transfer him to Caswell School or St. Michael's School. Partly because of his friends transferring to Caswell, they are full in his grade. St. Michael's School has space and we are debating moving him later this week.
The reason we didn't do it today is that I just felt sick abandoning the neighborhood and the school. I may be in the wrong but I want to give the school a chance. By pulling Mark out of Mayfair School, it means that there will be less funding, less involved parents, and despite the occasional punch to the face, Mark is a good kid who loves his school.
Tomorrow Wendy is setting up a meeting with his prospective teacher. We will be meeting with her and seeing how she plans to handle his split classroom while at the same time keeping Mark engaged. Last year his teacher did a good job of keeping us engaged by e-mailing us a couple times a week. This year I would like to see him challenged a lot more and we will see if that is going to be possible at Mayfair, if not we will make a quick change to other options.
Well Mark brought home his report card and when I joked that he was going to be in grade three again, he wept (and I felt horrible). So I quickly assured him not only did he pass but he did well. The truth is that despite having a horrible year at school, his marks were really quite good and I am extremely proud of him. On top of doing well in school this year, he got his yellow belt in karate last week. He spent weeks working on his technique and form and I was glad for him that he got it before the summer. I don't know if I feel any safer as the father of a yellow belt but the coffee table trembles when he walks by.
The bad part of the day was in talking to the parents of one of Mark's friends. They are moving him to Caswell School next year after he was badly beaten (it seemed to fall into the category of an asault) by yet another violent kid that was in Mark's class. His dad saw the attack but was too far away to stop it. Their other children have experienced it as well this year. I don't blame them for doing it. We spent most of the year walking Mark to and from school but then again, so did they and it still happened.
For Mark, he finished the day with his karate summer barbecue. Everyone chows down quickly on some hot dogs and then they pull out Super Soakers and shoot each other until ocean levels have gone down significantly. Lee left his ice core Super Soaker at the house when he moved out and so Mark froze it and took it over as a backup weapon. I could hear them yelling and laughing from a block away tonight. When he walked in he said, "I need dry gitch" which just about sums up his evening.
His summer is being spent with us at the lake and he is going to Beaver Creek Camp. Their four day camp is about perfect for heading to camp for the first time, some of his friends are going, and it's pretty close to the city if it doesn't work out. On top of that, I have gotten to know and appreciate the camp directors through work and they will take good care of him.
I have vacation booked for the last week of July which I think is my first full week off work since I went to the Bahamas in 2007. My boss looked dazed and confused as she signed my vacation request. We are heading to the lake and then to Mosaic Stadium to watch the Saskatchewan Roughriders beat the Edmonton Eskimos. In light traffic we are only an hour away from Mosaic Stadium.
I am going to take a week off in August as well. I imagine that will be spent out at the lake as well. Wendy will be working so part of the plan is for me to take Mark and Oliver out to the lake and let her chill out while not working. Between the three of us, we should manage okay without her but you never know.
Whatever happens, I hope it is a good summer for the family. It's been a while since we all unwound together.

Sophomore Melanie Stemper
Sept. 14, 2013
ARLINGTON, Texas (SMU) - The SMU women's cross country team placed first at the University Texas-Arlington Invitational. Sophomores Melanie Stemper and Shanoah Souza paced the Mustangs as they finished first (17:09.7) and second (17:50.4) overall out of 48 total runners out of six schools in the 5k race.
Stemper earned the first individual title of her career in just her second collegiate race.
"It was nice to see Melanie grab her first collegiate win," said head coach Cathy Casey on Stemper's stellar performance. "She has been working really hard and having set a personal record today validates all her hard work."
In addition to Stemper and Souza, sophomore Holly Archer finished fourth crossing the finish line in 17:55.6. Senior Caitlin Keen rounded out the Mustangs in to Top 10 as she placed sixth in 18:15.1.
"Holly and Caitlin really finished strong as they were passing other competitors the entire race," continued Casey.
Freshmen Anna Nelson, Margaret Brennan and Julie Vanderhout placed 12th (19:06.1), 13th (19:13.8) and 14th (19:20.6), respectively.
Freshmen Lauren Zabaleta and Ali Franklin also competed as well posting times of 19:41.2 and 20:12.1. Also, sophomore Claire Trotter competed in her first race of the 2013 season crossing the finish line in a time of 20:36.9.
"This was our first 5k race of the season and everyone needed to learn how to run in this type of race. I am very happy with our results today," stated Casey about the team's performance.
SMU is idle until they compete on Saturday, September 28 at the University of North Texas Invitational when they travel to nearby Denton, Texas.

Will refusing surgery affect my disability claim?
|Watch this
|View More Posts Ignore
I have had spinal stenosis and the pain that goes along with it for over a year now and a new specialist I just saw told me that I need to have a spinal Fusion at L-4,5 and L-5,S-1 and remove two damaged discs.
I have been reading all these posts about how very few if any of you that have had the surgery are getting along any better.
My first claim was denied just a few days before my second MRI was viewed by this Specialist and I am concerned that if I refuse the Surgery I will have problems getting my claim approved the second time.
I have a lawyer and I plan on posing this same quiestion to them, But I was wondering if anyone has had this experience before?

Hey Dan...let me know what you find out from the attorney
I am not under the impression that you have to choose surgery...but I definately think that they will want to know "Why don't you want to get better?".
I have severe stenosis at L3-4 & L4-5, I also have DDD and bulging discs at the stenosis levels. The neurosurgeon wants to have me submit for a decompression surgery and I have refused.
My stenosis is related to severe arthritis...which is degenerative and is throughout my spine. If I could have the surgery and know that I would fix the actual cause of the problem I would do so...but a surgery for me would be only to potentially solve some of the leg and possibly back pain.
A back surgery from my understanding from other MD's and my own research is about a 50/50 ...when the back problem causes significant issues, surgeons are willing to risk it to attempt to alleviate the problems....again, if I could risk it to cure the issue...I would.
At this time, I have refused surgery and I also refuse the ESI injections....not willing to risk it and I would rather learn to manage my pain. My arthritis will continue to grow and change my spine and I will continue to have further issues...eventually full wheel chair bound regardless of the surgery I refused now.
What ever you decide...only make the decision that you are comfortable with, not out of pressure from any other entity. Take Care!

Thanks for the reply Superduck...This is more about not wanting the pain to get worse and preserve what little mobility I have left. I do want to get better, but from what I have read, Multi level Fusion surgery is not always the best choice and causes more problems than it solves. The Specialist said that there is no gaurentee that it will get better. I guess I need more than that...LOL. I'll let you know what the lawyer says...

My issues are mostly related to my neck, I do have low back pain but afraid to check it out. I imagine it does sound a bit gloomy for some of us. But you are you and so...you have to make that decision.
It is true that sometimes surgery does'nt not fix everything. I do know from experiencce that sometimes issues with your back can lead to spinal cord problems. You do not want that, no sir. About the disability - I can't help you there. However we are about the same age and it's hard to make that decision. But there have been success stories and I hope they come out of the woodwork for you here.
I will keep you in my prayers and hope that God leads you to the right decision.

Hi again Dan :-)
I hope you don't think that I was accusing you of not wanting to get better...I was saying that I think SS would be asking you that question and that you needed to be able to explain to them what your reasons are.
I have seen the same information that you have seen about fusions etc. It is again about a 50/50 shot that the surgery will go in your favor and without complications. Almost everyone I have talked to and the MD's I have talked to say that is is very probable that the sites above and below the fusion become unstable and further surgeries are required. Also, the probability of FBS is always very real.
Like I said...be comfortable in your decision and know you made the best choice for you...and yes, please let me know what your attorney says. HUGS

Good Morning Terri and Superduck... I hope you are all doing well. I so Appreciate your encouragement and advice and thanks for the Hugs! Hugs Back! It seems that Complications not only exist in the medical conditions but in whatever decisions we make along the way right?
Not to worry Superduck, I totally understand what you meant, and I guess thats the reason for the question. I figured that they will question my reasons. I guess I need to get some good defencive arguments together.
I too was told that any surgery is only a potential pain relief option, but your right Terri, we certainly don't want to have spinal cord injuries or problems. With these conditions I will never be able to go back to landscaping, and I don't have any training as a desk Jocky..LOL. Everything I used to operate has become automated. Thats the biggest cause of all our back pain to begin with.
If I knew there was a job out there I could do (and in this economy) I would do it. I am way too active for this problem, but I certainly don't want to make it worse by over doing things. I have climbed a lot of ladders and been knocked off because of Automation and Shut downs... This is how I got here. Most jobs are manual labor anymore.
I will post again after finding out what the lawyer says. Thanks for your help!

I really don't think they will deny your disability just because you chose not to have surgery. You still have the same issues you had before the doctor suggested surgery. Just because you don't want surgery doesn't mean that you don't want to get better. Surgery almost ALWAYS causes more problems!
Talk to your attorney about this, but i don't think it's going to make any difference. God bless. Hugs, Lee

Hi Dan!
I'm not an attorney and I know that SS can be very unpredictable in their decisions- I think it just depends on the examiner handling your case. I know some people fight for years- I thought that, at 26, I would have no chance of being approved... but I applied by myself (no lawyer) for SSI and my initial application was approved. Do I think my problems are more severe than those of some people who are denied? No. I think it's just the luck of the draw sometimes... and bombarding them with medical records helps (I gave them every doc I'd seen since I was 14). It's such a stressful process and one where you question everything you're doing medically. I know I wondered about every choice I was making... I had had about ten sets of shots in my lower back in the year that I applied for SSI, and I had just started refusing to have any more because my pain was getting progressively worse after each "procedure" (and staying that way) and I was beginning to not trust my doctor. I can't tell you much I agonized over whether or not to keep having the shots until my application process was done with. In the end, I had to do what I knew was best for MY HEALTH, not my financial situation (although those two things are definitely linked, so the choices are tough).
As to your specific question, I absolutely have personally seen social security deny someone's disability claim because they refused surgery. Again though, this may just be the luck of the draw, and it is just ONE little anecdote relating to a different disabling condition. One of my cousins, who is about your age, applied for disability a few years back... she had pretty severe carpal-tunnel and could no longer do any of the jobs for which she was qualified (all office work) or anything that involved her hands, for that matter. Well, she refused to have surgery for the carpal tunnel as her doctors were recommending. And she had good reason- she had had HORRENDOUS past experiences with surgeries... she almost died during a c-section when she had her only child. Then she had another surgery later in life during which she almost bled to death. All of these were "routine" procedures, but not for her. She never wanted another surgery, nor did she truly believe the surgery would improve her pain. So that was the choice she made that was best for HER, that she could live with. However, SS then decided that she didn't qualify to receive any disability benefits if she was choosing not to do what was recommended for her "treatable condition." They could easily say the same thing to you.... you never know. My cousin went fought this for a long time and was continually denied. Eventually, she filed suit against them for trying to force her to have a surgery- something that should be her choice- and then denying her when she WAS disabled. After a long court battle, she did win her lawsuit and started receiving benefits.
As I said, that's just one anecdote... and perhaps surgery for carpal tunnel has a more reliable success rate than back surgeries. I imagine that is the case since back surgeries seem to be pretty much hit or miss. So you may have no problem. I certainly would NOT choose to have a surgery you don't believe in just to get disability benefits. Make the right choice for your health. Don't let them make that decision for you.
One thing I would recommend, however, would be to see another neurosurgeon. Preferably a very reputable one at a well-known university medical center... and get a second opinion on surgery. If you have another doctor saying that surgery is NOT recommended, that could help with your claim... if he doesn't say that, well, just don't mention him to disability. ;) I saw a neurosurgeon who was the head of neurosurgery at a local ivy league medical center... I figured I couldn't get a better opinion than that. My condition is very similar to yours... I would need a fusion in the same places, but I have a few complicating issues beyond disc herniations/degeneration and stenosis. The surgeon told me that he would absolutely NEVER operate on me. He said the chance of success with those types of surgeries is about 30% and that it was with every condition being optimal (patient being in perfect shape, strong, not overweight, not on too many meds, etc) and with the surgery proceeding flawlessly. Since those things are unlikely, the success rate becomes even lower than 30%. He did tell me that if I looked hard enough, I'd find some surgeon at a second-rate hospital who WOULD operate, but that it would be the biggest mistake of my life. This particular doctor shared with me that he'd had a woman kill herself after a failed back surgery because she still had so much pain and now was trying to regain mobility and recuperate as well. Because she had a history of addiction, they were hesitant to manage her pain... she eventually took her life after year of no improvement after surgery. He told me this to make it clear to me that I should NOT take the decision to have a back surgery lightly. I did get a second opinion (it as the same), but I took what he said very seriously.
My point is- don't make such a potentially life-altering decision to please the SSA.... you never know what they will do or how they'll view your information anyway. Apply again and see what happens... but I'd try to get a second opinion recommending against surgery.
I wish you all the best, Dan! I've been going through this since I was 19 (eight years), so I know what a tough road it can be. Good luck!

I have DDD with sciatica and osteoarthritis of the entire spine. I was approved for SSI on my first atempt with a good lawyer and no previous surgery or treatments other than pain meds and seeing three different doctors to diagnose me with the exact same thing. A good lawyer makes all the difference.

Thanks everybody for your kind advice. I am thinking I may have problems with my lawyer. Thet havn't got back to me and my patience is wearing thin. I have a letter ready to go in case they don't respond tomorrow. Time to put the crap aside...lol.
I hope everybody is feeling good tonight, I'm hanging in there. I'm going to do some oil painting to take my mind off of the pain.
Good therapy.
I will let you all know what the deal with the lawyer is...Night!

How I work...
Sherry asked how I created the sketch... I work in Corel Painter for this type of sketch. Sometimes I continue to work digitally and will finish the piece all in Painter (with color tweaking in Photoshop). Other times, I print the sketch onto watercolor paper (140 lb) hot press or soft press, paint it, scan it into the computer; and work over the top of it in Painter (dry media like artist pastel) to get it just how I want it.
I will be finishing rock-n-roll girl in Painter.

Thanks Janie! It's so great to hear how other digital artists work. I have heard a few say that they do traditional painting sometimes and then continue digitally. I am contemplating this on my next book. . .a bit scary for someone who has only done their book digitally.
