Your CV creates a first impression for any potential employer and, as such, getting it right could mean the difference between getting an interview and getting a rejection letter.
Layout and presentation
First and foremost, clear presentation is a must. Your CV should be as uncluttered as possible as a busy page is off-putting to employers who often have a stack to get through. Key points should be easy to spot and bullet points are an excellent tool for drawing the eye to the skills and qualifications required for the job. Ensure that there is plenty of space between sections to make the document easy to read. Avoid using 'I' and keep the tone formal.
Clear and concise
When laying out your CV, the most important information should always sit at the top of the page. This will usually include your name and contact details but it's a good idea to think about the specific skills the employer will be looking for ie. qualifications, IT skills or languages. If the information is prominent at a quick glance, it is more likely to catch the reader's eye.
Employment history should always be presented in date order, beginning with the most recent or current position. While you don't want to be going into ins and outs of the part time job you had 10 years ago, a concise list or paragraph detailing the duties required for each position is essential and, where possible, mention your achievements and the key skills that led to those results.
The facts about your employment history are essential, of course, but employers will often garner a sense of your personality from your CV. Where relevant point out areas in which you 'rose to the challenge' or were able to adapt your skill set to a particularl workplace scenario or problem. Are you conscientious and self-motivated? However, be careful not to repeat yourself and try not to get carried away with embellishing the facts... sooner or later, you will get caught out. When you get that interview, you'll need to be able to talk in depth about the things you included on your CV - another good reason not to lie!
Accuracy and adaptation
Send out a CV with spelling errors or grammatical mistakes and it will go straight in the bin. Check, check and double check before asking somebody else to check it again.
And there's no rule that says you can't adapt your CV to suit the job you are applying for. It's a good idea to keep two or three versions of the document enabling you to tailor the text or important skills and facts to a particular employer or position.
Include a covering letter
Always include a covering letter unless the advertisement advises that you shouldn't. Again this should be concise and clearly presented (not scrawled on lined paper) and highlight perhaps two or three points relevant to the position you are applying for. And yes... you'll need to double check the letter too.
A good CV really can make the difference when you're applying for a job, so take time to perfect yours.

hey joka, good idea with the stands, might I suggest though using hot glue from a hot glue gun (yeah that wasn't redundant... ) for the stands as well as the clonetrooper's feet. The glue will stick, but can easily be peeled off without causing damage to the plastic.

Illegal order - how to know
We have just received an order that just doesn't look right. We called the phone number given to us and ask for the person on the account. The person did answer but says they didn't order the hosting plan.
What should we do next?

Push them to confirm the order by phone. If they can give a US telephone number that you can reach them at to confirm it, then maybe it is legit. If not, do what everyone else says and refund it.

blacklist the email address and beware of those kind of IPs in the future.

If you have the credit card number on hand at the time of the call and the person on the other end did not order the service, it's likely their credit card is stolen. Offer them the last 4 digits of the CC number - you'll never receive so many thankyou's
Then blacklist the IP and make a note of where it originated from. If you find too many from a particular country with no legit orders blacklist the whole country to save yourself some time.██ Hosting.Express | Affordable Web and Email Hosting

Refund it... sounds like a bad order.
Also, if you ever have concerns on any order - follow your instincts. It is better to lose an occasional legal sale than get hit by chargebacks from fraudulent orders.
You can also request that the cardholder send you a copy of their credit card and/or credit card statement to show proof of possession... this will stop many fraudsters in their tracks.CDGcommerce.com - Trusted Merchant Account Solutions since 1998

Trend Micro Offers HTTP Virus-Scanning Tool
New offering aimed at eliminating the threat posed by Web-based e-mail services.Trend Micro Inc. on Monday announced a new gateway anti-virus product designed specifically to stop viruses coming in through Web traffic. InterScan Web Security Suite inspects HTTP and FTP traffic and is meant for the high-end enterprise market, where speed and performance are major considerations. The new offering from Trend Micro is aimed at eliminating the threat posed by Web-based e-mail services. Many corporations have banned employee use of such services because theres no real way to control what information is sent out of the corporate environment, nor what types of viruses, Trojans or other malware are coming in. Free Web mail services are favorite targets of spammers, who often lace their messages with spyware or other undesirable software. Typical anti-virus gateways inspect and clean mail messages coming in over the SMTP protocol, which is used by most of the major enterprise mail solutions. Desktop anti-virus is also focused on SMTP traffic, and most AV clients have no ability to inspect e-mails that corporate employees send using services such as Hotmail and Yahoo Mail, which are both Web-based and use HTTP.
One of the only other security vendors to offer an HTTP virus-scanning solution is Blue Coat Systems Inc., which uses Trend Micros software in its Proxy SG appliances.

Mission, an old-fashioned little town near Overland Park, southwest of Kansas City, is setting up for its 10th annual Arts & Eats Festival (Sept. 13-14 this year). As the name implies, the event celebrates the arts in many forms, with craft booths and activities aimed at getting kids interested in art. But for many, the eats are the big draw.
Although all of the greater Kansas City area is known for its love affair with barbecue, it was Mission that in 2007 hosted the first sanctioned state championship barbecue contest, the Battle of the Brisket. (Despite the name, contestants can also enter pork dishes, desserts and sides).
It's safe to say that folks here take their meats seriously (the band performing on Friday night is called Four Fried Chickens and a Coke). About 75 teams bring their rubs, smokers and sauces for a night of preparation before the next day's judging.
Visitors might be wise to walk off some of those calories on the trails in nearby Shawnee Mission Park, a 1,600-acre recreational area surrounding a lake.

decided: September 16, 1988.
MCDONNELL DOUGLAS FINANCE CORPORATION, PEOPLES SECURITY LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY, COMMONWEALTH LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY AND NATIONAL STANDARD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY, GEICO CORPORATION, GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES INSURANCE COMPANY AND CRITERION INSURANCE COMPANY, CNA ASSURANCE COMPANY OF CONNECTICUT, PLAINTIFFS-APPELLEES,v.PENNSYLVANIA POWER & LIGHT COMPANY, DEFENDANT-APPELLANT
Appeal from an order entered in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, Conner, J., denying defendant-appellant's motion for a stay of proceedings pending compulsory arbitration. After an inital appeal was dismissed for lack of appellate jurisdiction, the district court certified the order for appeal pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1292(b) and we accepted the certification. Affirmed.
Kaufman Meskill and Kearse, Circuit Judges.
MESKILL, Circuit Judge:
In this appeal, we must construe a narrow and specific arbitration clause in a contract to determine whether the parties intended it to reach a particular dispute that has arisen out of an agreement governing the purchase of shares of preferred stock. The case is a consolidation of three separate lawsuits filed against defendant-appellant Pennsylvania Power & Light Co. (PP&L), a public utility that raises capital in part through the issuance of preferred shares. In 1986, PP&L sought to redeem, at par value, thousands of preferred shares issued in earlier years. In so doing, PP&L claimed to be acting pursuant to detailed agreements that governed the issuance and sale of those shares. The plaintiffs-appellees, all institutional investors that held shares affected by the call for redemption, argued that PP&L's action was not authorized by the agreements. After the shareholders initiated these lawsuits in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, seeking declaratory relief and damages, PP&L moved for a stay pending compulsory arbitration of the dispute.
The district court, Conner, J., denied the motion, ruling that the contract provision upon which PP&L relied did not manifest an intention by the parties to submit this particular dispute to arbitration. See GEICO Corp. v. Pennsylvania Power & Light Co., 669 F. Supp. 590 (S.D.N.Y. 1987). We then dismissed PP&L's initial appeal from the district court's order, holding that we lacked appellate jurisdiction. See McDonnell Douglas Finance Corp. v. Pennsylvania Power & Light Co., 849 F.2d 761 (2d Cir. 1988) (McDonnell Douglas I). However, on remand, the district court certified the order for immediate interlocutory appeal pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1292(b) (1982 & Supp. IV 1986). We now accept that certification and affirm the district court's order denying a stay pending arbitration.
PP&L is a public utility corporation organized and operating under the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. In late 1982, PP&L issued 340,000 shares of 14 % Series Preferred Stock (the 14 % Series) at a par value of $100 per share. Many of those shares either were sold directly to or subsequently transferred to appellees Government Employees Insurance Co. (GEICO); GEICO Corporation (GEICO Corp.); Criterion Insurance Co.; CNA Assurance Co. of Connecticut (CNA); Peoples Security Life Insurance Co. (PSLIC); Commonwealth Life Insurance Co. (CLIC); and National Standard Life Insurance Co. (NSLIC). In early 1983, PP&L issued 260,000 shares of 11 % Series Preferred Stock (the 11 % Series), also at a $100 par value. Many of those shares either were sold to or later transferred to appellees McDonnell Douglas Finance Corp. (MDFC), GEICO, CNA and Criterion. Both issuances and all subsequent sales were governed by detailed Preferred Stock Purchase Agreements (the Agreements), which were identical in all relevant respects. The Agreements also incorporated the terms of statements governing the original issuances that were filed by the utility with the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania (the Statements).
At the time the original purchases were negotiated, prospective shareholders were anxious to "lock in" the high yields offered by the shares. See J. App. at 491. Because PP&L could not issue "non-callable" or irredeemable shares, it agreed to pay premiums over par in the event of any early redemption. See id. These premiums were set out in section 2.2 of the Statements governing the issuance of the shares. The utility could redeem shares in the 14 % Series according to a graduated schedule of decreasing redemption values, with the price set at $120 per share for the twelve month period beginning October 1, 1986. The 11 % Series shares could be redeemed at $125 per share at any time on or before March 31, 1988.
As another indication of the shareholders' attempt to "lock in" after-tax yields on the shares, Paragraph 4N of the Agreements explicitly embodied the parties' assumption that all shareholders would remain eligible for the eighty-five percent Dividends Received Deduction then provided by section 243(a)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code, 26 U.S.C. § 243(a)(1) (1982). The parties agreed that if any shareholder "shall lose the benefit of, lose the right to claim or suffer disallowance with respect to dividends on the shares," then PP&L would indemnify the shareholders for any economic loss below anticipated after-tax yields. That obligation of the company, however, was expressly subject in both Agreements to a proviso that read:
Provided, however, that if the Company shall have received any such written notice of [a] Loss [requiring indemnification] or if the Company shall have made a good faith determination that there is substantial risk that it would be required to make any indemnity payments pursuant to this paragraph 4N with respect to more than two consecutive quarters (regardless of whether the Company shall have received any such written notice of Loss), then the Company, at its option, may redeem all the Shares then outstanding at the redemption price of $100 per share plus dividends accrued to the date of redemption.
This right of redemption at par value was not subject to the terms of section 2.2 of the Statements that required premiums over par in the event of an optional redemption. Finally, Paragraph 4N of the Agreements provided that:
If the Company should disagree with any Owner's computation of the amount of the required indemnity payment or refund thereof as provided below or if any Owner should disagree with such good faith determination of the Company that there is substantial risk, then the Company and the Owner shall appoint an independent tax counsel to resolve the dispute and, if the parties cannot agree to the appointment of such counsel, said independent tax counsel shall be appointed by the American Arbitration Association and the Company shall not be obligated to pay, and such Owner shall not be obligated to refund, the disputed portion of such amount until and only to the extent that such dispute is resolved adversely to the party required to make payment.
Subsequently, the Tax Reform Act of 1986 reduced the amount of the Dividends Received Deduction provided by section 243(a)(1) of the Code from eighty-five to eighty percent. See Pub. L. No. 99-514, § 611(a)(1), 100 Stat. 2085, 2249 (1986). Based on that development, PP&L sent a letter on October 22, 1986 to all shareholders of the 14 % Series and the 11 % Series, informing them that it intended to redeem the shares at par value on December 31, 1986. The letter stated:
The redemption is being made pursuant to the provisions of Paragraph 4N of the Purchase Agreements . . . . The Tax Reform Act of 1986 . . . provides for a reduction of the dividends received deduction from 85 % to 80 % for dividends received after December 31, 1986. As a result of the enactment of this legislation, the Company has determined that a Loss (as defined in Paragraph 4N of the Purchase Agreements) would occur beginning with the payment of a regular quarterly dividend . . . on January 1, 1987 and would require the Company to make indemnity payments to the owners . . . pursuant to Paragraph 4N of the Purchase Agreements.
PP&L therefore believed that it had made a "good faith determination" that there was a substantial risk it would be required to make indemnity payments as a result of the passage of the Tax Reform Act. However, none of the shareholders of either the 14 % Series or the 11 % Series demanded any indemnity payments. In fact, during the period between October 22 and the date set for redemption, many of the shareholders that are appellees here sent the utility letters attempting to waive their right to any indemnity payments as a result of the Tax Reform Act. PP&L rejected those waivers, notifying the shareholders that the letters were of doubtful enforceability and were nonetheless too late to affect the utility's proper exercise of a right of redemption created by the Agreements.
On December 9, 1986, plaintiffs-appellees GEICO, GEICO Corp. and Criterion filed the first complaint in this lawsuit (the GEICO complaint), seeking declaratory relief. The plaintiffs alleged that PP&L had "wrongfully" called for redemption of shares in both Series. The gravamen of the complaint was that the plaintiffs' waivers had negated any right of redemption under Paragraph 4N and that PP&L therefore could only redeem the shares if it paid the premiums required by section 2.2 of the Statements. The plaintiffs also alleged that the "real reason" for PP&L's redemption was the utility's desire to avoid paying the high dividends over the remainder of the life of the shares. The plaintiffs alleged that PP&L had not sought to redeem other, lower-paying shares as a result of the Tax Reform Act.
On December 31, the day set for redemption, other shareholders filed two additional complaints. One complaint, filed by appellee MDFC, was virtually identical to the GEICO complaint. The other, filed by CNA, differed in some respects. CNA alleged that the call for redemption was in "bad faith" and that "PP&L's motive for the redemption is to avoid either paying the dividends on its preferred shares or redeeming them at the premium it agreed to when it sold them." In essence, however, the CNA complaint was similar to the others in that it placed primary reliance on the effect of the plaintiff's waiver on any right to indemnification as a result of the Tax Reform Act.
Before PP&L answered any of the complaints, the three original plaintiffs amended the GEICO complaint. The amended complaint stated that on December 31 the plaintiffs had transferred their shares to a third party in response to the utility's call for redemption. The plaintiffs, however, had accompanied the shares with letters stating that delivery of the certificates and receipt of any payment "shall be without prejudice to any claims we may have against PP&L . . . by reason of the wrongful purported redemption of these shares." The amended complaint sought damages representing the difference between the shares' par value and the premiums required by section 2.2 of the Statements. MDFC soon amended its complaint in similar fashion, also adding three new plaintiffs: PSLIC, CLIC and NSLIC.
PP&L answered all of the complaints in February. PP&L admitted all factual allegations, but denied the plaintiffs' characterizations of its redemption as "wrongful" and in "bad faith." The utility acknowledged that "the desire to reduce its cost of capital" was a factor in its decision to call for the redemption, but denied that its actions were outside the intended scope of the parties' Agreements. The utility also denied that the shareholders' attempted waivers negated its power to call for the redemption at par.
A pretrial conference involving all of the parties to the instant action was held before Judge Conner on February 20. PP&L argued that the utility's right to redeem could be determined by summary judgment. The shareholders responded that any question of the utility's "good faith" would have to be decided by a jury. The utility argued, however, that it did not read the plaintiffs' complaints as challenging PP&L's exercise of good faith under Paragraph 4N. Although the parties disagree as to the extent of Judge Conner's agreement or disagreement with them on this matter, Judge Conner did grant the plaintiffs additional time to amend their complaints to clarify the nature of their allegations regarding the utility's good faith. At the close of this conference, PP&L notified the plaintiffs for the first time that it would consider moving for compelled arbitration under the terms of Paragraph 4N. The shareholders, however, had argued during the conference that the clause calling for the appointment of an independent tax counsel was only intended to cover disputes regarding relevant tax law issues and not disputes as to the utility's good faith.
The plaintiffs in the GEICO and MDFC actions thereafter filed second amended complaints and CNA amended its original complaint, all specifically alleging that PP&L had failed to make a good faith determination that a substantial risk of indemnification existed, as required by Paragraph 4N. PP&L subsequently notified the plaintiffs by letter that it intended to move pursuant to sections 3 and 4 of the Federal Arbitration Act (Act), 9 U.S.C. §§ 3, 4 (1982), for a stay pending compulsory arbitration of the dispute regarding its good faith. In an affidavit accompanying notice of that motion to the court, a PP&L official stated that the utility's decision to seek arbitration was in direct response to the plaintiffs' new allegations in their amended complaints. The plaintiffs subsequently filed opposing papers, including affidavits in which a GEICO Corp. official and attorneys involved in these and other related transactions argued that the parties had never intended to submit disputes concerning the utility's good faith to an independent tax counsel. Rather, those affiants claimed that the purported "arbitration clause" had only been intended to reach tax issues that might arise out of a call for redemption.
In an Opinion and Order dated July 2, 1987, Judge Conner denied PP&L's motion for a stay pending compulsory arbitration. Relying solely on our decision in Fuller v. Guthrie, 565 F.2d 259 (2d Cir. 1977), the district court held that the parties' Agreements did not contain "a clear, explicit statement" of their intent to submit such a dispute to binding arbitration. See 669 F. Supp. at 591. In addition to relying on the contract language itself, Judge Conner cited other factors to support his conclusion. First, he concluded that PP&L's conduct in litigating these lawsuits for nearly three months before seeking arbitration indicated that the utility had not originally understood the language of Paragraph 4N as providing a broad right of arbitration. Id. at 591-92. Judge Conner observed that "PP&L's attorneys essentially conceded in a conference before this Court that the independent tax counsel had no role in this litigation when they asked for leave to file a motion for summary judgment on the merits of the three lawsuits." Id. at 591. Second, Judge Conner held that the affidavits supplied by the plaintiffs further indicated that the parties had never intended the clause regarding the appointment of an independent tax counsel to reach disputes as to the utility's good faith. Id. at 592. Judge Conner concluded that "it is clear that the parties to the[se] . . . Agreement[s] never intended that the claims in these lawsuits be submitted to arbitration." Id.
After we heard oral argument on the merits of this appeal, the Supreme Court entered its decision in Gulfstream Aerospace Corp. v. Mayacamas Corp., 485 U.S. 271, 56 U.S.L.W. 4243, 99 L. Ed. 2d 296, 108 S. Ct. 1133 (U.S. Mar. 22, 1988). In that decision, the Court overruled the precedents on which the so-called Enelow-Ettelson doctrine had been based, see id. at 4245-48, thereby eliminating the jurisdictional vehicle through which we traditionally had heard appeals from interlocutory orders granting or denying stays pending arbitration, see, e.g., Gilmore v. Shearson/American Express, Inc., 811 F.2d 108, 110-11 (2d Cir. 1987) (citing Ettelson v. Metropolitan Life Ins. Co., 317 U.S. 188, 87 L. Ed. 176, 63 S. Ct. 163 (1942); Enelow v. New York Life Ins. Co., 293 U.S. 379, 79 L. Ed. 440, 55 S. Ct. 310 (1935)). We therefore requested additional briefing from the parties regarding our appellate jurisdiction. Subsequently, we dismissed the appeal, but remanded the case to the district court, directing Judge Conner to consider whether, in the unique circumstances of this case, the interlocutory order at issue should be certified for immediate appeal pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1292(b). See McDonnell Douglas I, slip op. at 4097, 4101-04. In the interests of judicial economy, we directed that any such certification should be referred back to this panel. See id. at 4104. In a subsequent Opinion and Order dated July 29, 1988, Judge Conner did indeed certify the question for appeal. We now accept that certification and proceed to a discussion of the merits.
The Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq., "reflects a [congressional] recognition of 'the desirability of arbitration as an alternative to the complications of litigation.' " Genesco, Inc. v. T. Kakiuchi & Co., 815 F.2d 840, 844 (2d Cir. 1987) (quoting Wilko v. Swan, 346 U.S. 427, 431, 98 L. Ed. 168, 74 S. Ct. 182 (1953)). Thus, the Act is a statement of "'a liberal federal policy favoring arbitration agreements . . . .'" Id. (quoting Moses H. Cone Memorial Hosp. v. Mercury Construction Corp., 460 U.S. 1, 24, 74 L. Ed. 2d 765, 103 S. Ct. 927 (1983)). Section 3 of the Act provides for a stay of legal proceedings when a dispute before a court is arbitrable under a contract or agreement, see 9 U.S.C. § 3, and section 4 directs federal courts to order compulsory arbitration "if there has been a 'failure, neglect, or refusal' of any party to honor an agreement to arbitrate." Scherk v. Alberto-Culver Co., 417 U.S. 506, 511, 41 L. Ed. 2d 270, 94 S. Ct. 2449 (1974) (quoting 9 U.S.C. § 4). See also Genesco, 815 F.2d at 844. " '[T]he Act leaves no place for the exercise of discretion by a district court, but instead mandates that district courts shall direct the parties to proceed to arbitration on issues as to which an arbitration agreement has been signed.'" Id. (quoting Dean Witter Reynolds Inc. v. Byrd, 470 U.S. 213, 218, 84 L. Ed. 2d 158, 105 S. Ct. 1238 (1985)).
In keeping with these policies and statutory mandates, a court asked to stay proceedings pending compulsory arbitration under the Act must engage in a four-step inquiry:
[F]irst, it must determine whether the parties agreed to arbitrate; second, it must determine the scope of that agreement; third, if federal statutory claims are asserted, it must consider whether Congress intended those claims to be nonarbitrable; and fourth, if the court concludes that some, but not all, of the claims in the case are arbitrable, it must then determine whether to stay the balance of the proceedings pending arbitration.
Id. (citations omitted). See also Mitsubishi Motors Corp. v. Soler Chrysler-Plymouth, Inc., 473 U.S. 614, 626-28, 87 L. Ed. 2d 444, 105 S. Ct. 3346 (1985) (discussing similar standards). Because this case involves only one allegedly arbitrable issue--one that does not implicate federal statutory rights--we need only engage in the first two steps of the inquiry mandated by Genesco.*fn1
The first question we must address is whether the language in Paragraph 4N calling for the appointment of an independent tax counsel does indeed constitute an enforceable arbitration clause. We believe that the language clearly manifests an intention by the parties to submit certain disputes to a specified third party for binding resolution. It is, in our estimation, irrelevant that the contract language in question does not employ the word "arbitraton" as such. Rather, what is important is that the parties clearly intended to submit some disputes to their " 'chosen instrument for the definitive settlement of [certain] grievances under the Agreement . . . .'" International Longshoremen's Ass'n v. Hellenic Lines, Ltd., 549 F. Supp. 435, 437 (S.D.N.Y. 1982) (holding that binding review by a designated third party is arbitration even if not denominated as such in the contract) (quoting General Drivers, Warehousemen & Helpers, Local Union No. 89 v. Riss & Co., 372 U.S. 517, 519, 9 L. Ed. 2d 918, 83 S. Ct. 789 (1963)). See also Wasyl, Inc. v. First Boston Corp., 813 F.2d 1579, 1580-82 (9th Cir. 1987) (finding an enforceable agreement to arbitrate when the parties had simply agreed that certain disputed issues "shall be established by three independent appraisers"); Butler Products Co. v. Unistrut Corp., 367 F.2d 733, 734-36 (7th Cir. 1966) (treating as an arbitration clause contract language providing that "the items in dispute shall be submitted for determination to the firm of Peat, Marwick, Mitchell & Co."); Mencher v. B. & S. Abeles & Kahn, 274 A.D. 585, 84 N.Y.S.2d 718, 721 (1st Dep't 1948) (holding that the terms "arbitration" or "arbitrate" need not be used as long as binding review by a third party is clearly "the intention of the parties"). Similarly, it is not dispositive that the Agreements fail to term the independent tax counsel's conclusions "final" or "binding." Again, the parties' intent in that regard seems clear from the language of their contract. The Agreements expressly provide that any obligations arising from indemnification or redemption under Paragraph 4N would not be binding "until and only to the extent that [any] dispute is resolved [by the independent tax counsel]." We therefore believe that this language in Paragraph 4N represents an enforceable arbitration clause.
We do not believe that our construction of the language in question here is inconsistent with Judge Conner's ruling that the parties' Agreements lacked "a clear, explicit statement" of an intent to submit this particular dispute to arbitration. Although Judge Conner did not engage in the step-by-step inquiry articulated in Genesco, we believe that in relying on the language from Fuller v. Guthrie, 565 F.2d at 261, he was interpreting the parties' intentions as to the scope of an existing arbitration clause. Therefore, we are not disturbing any factual conclusions reached by the district court. Rather, we also must consider the intended scope of the clause, a legal question that we review here de novo. See, e.g., Genesco, 815 F.2d at 846.
Once it is determined that the parties to a contract have created an enforceable arbitration clause, then the policies inherent in the Federal Arbitration Act dictate that "any doubts concerning the scope of arbitrable issues should be resolved in favor of arbitration, whether the problem at hand is the construction of the contract language itself or an allegation of waiver, delay, or a like defense to arbitrability." Moses H. Cone Memorial Hosp., 460 U.S. at 24-25. See also Mitsubishi Motors, 473 U.S. at 626; S.A. Mineracao da Trindade-Samitri v. Utah Int'l, Inc., 745 F.2d 190, 194-95 (2d Cir. 1984). Although "[t]he scope of an arbitration clause, like any contract provision, is a question of the intent of the parties," id. at 193 (citing Necchi S.p.A. v. Necchi Sewing Machine Sales Corp., 348 F.2d 693, 696 (2d Cir. 1965), cert. denied, 383 U.S. 909, 15 L. Ed. 2d 664, 86 S. Ct. 892 (1966)), the strong federal presumption in favor of arbitration dictates that doubts as to arbitrability should be resolved in favor of coverage, id. at 194. See also Wire Service Guild v. United Press Int'l, 623 F.2d 257, 260 (2d Cir. 1980). However, it is equally clear that "federal policy alone cannot be enough to extend the application of an arbitration clause far beyond its intended scope." Fuller v. Guthrie, 565 F.2d at 261. The purpose of the Federal Arbitration Act "was to make arbitration agreements as enforceable as other contracts, but not more so." Prima Paint Corp. v. Flood & Conklin Mfg. Co., 388 U.S. 395, 404 n. 12, 18 L. Ed. 2d 1270, 87 S. Ct. 1801 (1967) (emphasis added). Therefore, while keeping in mind the federal policy favoring arbitration, we must carefully consider whether the parties to these Agreements intended that disputes as to the utility's good faith in seeking redemption under Paragraph 4N would be submitted for binding arbitration to an independent tax counsel.
In construing arbitration clauses, courts have at times distinguished between "broad" clauses that purport to refer all disputes arising out of a contract to arbitration and "narrow" clauses that limit arbitration to specific types of disputes. See, e.g., Associated Brick Mason Contractors of Greater New York, Inc. v. Harrington, 820 F.2d 31, 35 (2d Cir. 1987); Prudential Lines, Inc. v. Exxon Corp., 704 F.2d 59, 63-64 (2d Cir. 1983); Rochdale Village, Inc. v. Public Service Employees Union, Local No. 80, 605 F.2d 1290, 1295 (2d Cir. 1979); Sedco, Inc. v. Petroleos Mexicanos Mexican Nat'l Oil Co., 767 F.2d 1140, 1144-45 & n. 10 (5th Cir. 1985). If a court concludes that a clause is a broad one, then it will order arbitration and any subsequent construction of the contract and of the parties' rights and obligations under it are within the jurisdiction of the arbitrator. See Rochdale Village, 605 F.2d at 1295. See also International Union of Operating Engineers, Local 150 v. Flair Builders, Inc., 406 U.S. 487, 491-92, 32 L. Ed. 2d 248, 92 S. Ct. 1710 (1972); Associated Brick Mason Contractors, 820 F.2d at 35. Moreover, as the Supreme Court has noted, the strong federal presumption in favor of arbitrability applies with greater force when an arbitration clause is a broad one. See AT&T Technologies, Inc. v. Communications Workers of America, 475 U.S. 643, 650, 89 L. Ed. 2d 648, 106 S. Ct. 1415 (1986). With narrower clauses, however, a court considering the appropriate range of arbitrable issues must "consider whether the [question at] issue is on its face within the purview of the clause." Rochdale Village, 605 F.2d at 1295. See also Prudential Lines, 704 F.2d at 64; McAllister Bros. v. A & S Transp. Co., 621 F.2d 519, 522 (2d Cir. 1980). In determining whether a particular dispute falls within the scope of a narrow and specific arbitration clause, "[t]he tone of the clause as a whole must be considered." Prudential Lines, 704 F.2d at 64.
We conclude that the clause at issue here is a narrow one. It is not the sort of broad clause in which parties agree "to submit to arbitration disputes 'of any nature or character,' or simply 'any and all disputes,'" Rochdale Village, 605 F.2d at 1295. Rather, its effect is limited to the context of Paragraph 4N and the circumstances that might surround the utility's decision to seek redemption pursuant to that Paragraph. Therefore, in construing the scope of the clause, we must be careful to carry out the specific and limited intent of the parties. See, e.g., S.A. Mineracao, 745 F.2d at 193; Fuller, 565 F.2d at 261. Although we must be mindful of the federal presumption in favor of arbitration, we cannot allow that presumption to have the strong effect here that it would have if we were construing a broad arbitration clause. See AT&T Technologies, 475 U.S. at 650. Cf. Fuller, 565 F.2d at 261.
We agree with the district court that the parties to these Agreements did not intend this arbitration clause to reach disputes as to the utility's good faith. In so concluding, we rely on the plain language of the arbitral clause, its import within the context of Paragraph 4N, and on some of the additional factors cited by the district court. First, we find it significant that the parties agreed to refer their disputes to a tax counsel rather than to an arbitrator of more general expertise. The specific and limited intent indicated by that choice is evident throughout the rest of the clause. The clause takes effect if the utility "should disagree with any [shareholder's] computation of the amount of the required indemnity payment or refund thereof or if any [shareholder] should disagree with [the] good faith determination of the [utility] that there is substantial risk [of indemnification]." Although the latter half of that clause could be read literally to encompass all aspects of PP&L's good faith determination, the overall context of the passage indicates that it applies only to those aspects of the utility's determination that rest on PP&L's interpretation of tax law in determining the scope of its potential liability to the shareholders. In fact, the next segment of the clause provides that no obligations shall arise as to "the disputed portion of such amount" until any dispute is resolved by the independent tax counsel. This supports our conclusion that the effect of the clause should be limited to tax law questions and to the computation of the amount of any indemnity payments that the utility might owe its shareholders as a result of changes in the tax law. Had the parties intended to submit all issues regarding the utility's good faith to an arbitrator, we do not believe that they would have chosen a tax counsel.
Second, we agree with the district court that this conclusion is supported by the affidavits filed by the shareholders. Those affidavits were filed by a GEICO Corp. official involved in the negotiations leading to the contract at issue here, an attorney representing several of the shareholders in this litigation, and two other attorneys from the same law firm who had worked to develop similar clauses in similar transactions. Essentially, they all indicate that this arbitration clause and similar ones being used by other utilities were only intended to reach tax issues and not broad questions of good faith. Although we do not find the post hoc assertions of a litigating attorney to be especially probative in determining the original import of a disputed contract clause, we do find some support for our conclusions in the assertions of the GEICO Corp. official and the other attorneys familiar with industry practice. Furthermore, to the extent that these statements purport to represent the parties' understanding of their contract before its execution, we do not believe that they are inadmissible under the parol evidence rule. Such extrinsic evidence is always admissible to aid in the interpretation of a contract that is ambiguous or susceptible of two equally reasonable constructions. See Asheville Mica Co. v. Commodity Credit Corp., 335 F.2d 768, 770 (2d Cir. 1964) (Marshall, J.). See also Schering Corp. v. Home Ins. Co., 712 F.2d 4, 9 (2d Cir. 1983). We also believe, as the district court apparently did, that it is significant that PP&L did not contest the shareholders' narrow interpretation of the arbitration clause during the pretrial conference before Judge Conner.
Finally, we note one factor upon which we do not rely in reaching our conclusion as to the scope of this arbitration clause. In denying PP&L 's motion, the district court relied on the utility's conduct in litigating these lawsuits for nearly three months before seeking arbitration. This reliance could be viewed in one of two ways. Either the district court viewed the utility's conduct as a waiver of an existing right to arbitration or as evidence of PP&L's original intent with respect to the clause. We do not believe that the utility's conduct could have constituted a waiver, particularly in light of the strong federal presumption against the waiver of such rights. See, e.g., Moses H. Cone Memorial Hosp., 460 U.S. at 24-25; Rush v. Oppenheimer & Co., 779 F.2d 885, 887 (2d Cir. 1985). Although the litigation of substantial issues going to the merits may constitute a waiver of arbitration, see id., we do not believe that such conduct occurred here. PP&L merely responded to the plaintiffs' complaints, participated in some discovery, and spoke of the possibility of seeking summary judgment. We have held that such conduct is insufficient to constitute a waiver. See id. at 887-90. Moreover, the shareholders were not unduly prejudiced by the motion seeking arbitration, see id. at 887, particularly not when it so closely followed the amendment of their complaints at the direction of the district court.
We also do not believe that the district court could properly view the utility's conduct as evidence of a pre-existing intent with respect to the disputed clause. In denying PP&L's motion, Judge Conner ruled that the shareholders' original complaints were sufficient to put the utility on notice that its exercise of good faith under Paragraph 4N was being challenged. We believe, however, that this conclusion is somewhat inconsistent with the district court's earlier decision to grant the plaintiffs additional time to amend their complaints. In allowing the shareholders to clarify the nature of their allegations regarding PP&L's good faith, the district court implicitly conceded that the original complaints were not sufficiently clear on this point. Although those complaints generally described the utility's redemption as "wrongful" and in "bad faith," we believe that the gist of the complaints was that the shareholders' attempted waivers had effectively negated any power of redemption that the utility might have had under Paragraph 4N. The complaints did not directly allege that the utility's determination of a substantial risk of indemnification failed to satisfy the good faith standard set out in that Paragraph. Given that the utility's demand for arbitration immediately followed a court-sanctioned amendment of the original complaints, we do not believe that PP&L's previous conduct can be seen as probative of its earlier intent regarding arbitration.
For all of the foregoing reasons, we affirm the order of the district court denying the defendant-appellant's motion for a stay of proceedings pending compelled arbitration.

I used to solely be a summer person. Every spare moment I had from June through August would find me in flip flops, a skirt, and tank top…and outside. Usually in a lawn chair with a book, getting skin cancer.
But sometime in the last seven years or so, while he was replacing my love of hip-hop and country music with a steady diet of folk, Eric also turned me into a fall person.
Friends, I have been eating up these 65-degree days, that start off chilly but slowly lead you to a warm, golden afternoon. And apparently, that type of weather is what San Francisco does best.
We've been here just a week, and every single time we've commented on how amazing the weather is, some San Franciscan tells us…"Yeah, it's pretty much this way all year 'round."
What the what?
Earlier today, I mentioned to Eric that this place – with its amazing weather – would make it the perfect place to retire…and then we realized that everything here costs five times what it should, and we'd be able to afford living here on our retirement savings for approximately seven weeks.
But it led to an interesting question: Do people who live here actually realize what they've got going here? Do they really enjoy these perfect 65-degree days, with winters that don't get much colder than that and summers that don't get much hotter?
Or does it take annually getting jerked around by the weather on a ridiculous roller coaster ride of 103* and 94% humidity to -27* windchill to make you really appreciate the perfect weather that is apparently the norm here?
We're not sure…but we do know that we're not particularly relishing the idea of heading back to Minnesota, which is right on the brink of heading into what is sure to be a gray, cold, and rainy November.
But while it rains and the last of the leaves blow off the trees, we'll bake apple crisp, and eat it with spoons from the pan…this will be our coping mechanism.
This apple crisp recipe is where it's at. It's not a crumble – the topping does not contain oats. Instead, the filling of softened apples mixed with cinnamon and sugar is topped with what feels almost like a pie crust layer…if that pie crust was also sort of like a non-spongey cake with a perfectly crisped topping.
I've been mulling over how to describe this topping for days now….and that was the best I could do. Yikes.
But seriously, I love this apple crisp because it's easy. I like that it's a two-step away from your typical oat-centric apple dessert topping. And I'm sort of crushing on the fact that the very top part of this apple crisp starts to caramelize in the oven, crisping the whole thing into some sort of apple dessert heaven.
Whatever your weather today and in the months to come, I hope you'll give this one a try!
P.S. I used honeycrisp apples from our orchard trip in this recipe, which some might consider heresy. I know! They're so good to eat as they are. But try them, just once, in a baked good, and you might never go back. Their flavor really comes through; I can't encourage you to try baking up some honeycrisps enough.
(recipe by Carpé Season - thanks, Mom!)
(yields one 13x9" pan)
This easy apple crisp recipe comes together really quickly and ends in a perfectly crispy topping. I apologize for the weird measurement amounts in the topping...but that makes for what I think is the perfect topping to filling ratio. Just do your best to divide an egg; it doesn't have to be perfect! P.S. The pictures show an 8x8" pan, but the recipe listed here is for a 13x9" pan!
about 5 large apples*, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
3/4 c. sugar
1 tbsp. cinnamon
1 1/2 c. flour
1 1/2 c. sugar
1/4 + 1/8 tsp. (or 3/8) tsp. salt
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 1/2 eggs, lightly beaten
6 tbsp. melted butter
cinnamon for sprinkling
*I used honeycrisp apples because I can't get over how good they are (both raw) and now baked. Their sweet and tangy flavor really comes through. Here are some other common baking apples you could use.
Preheat oven to 350*. Grease a 13x9" pan.
Prepare your apples by peeling and coring them and then very thinly slicing them. Place them in your greased pan.
Stir the 3/4 c. sugar and 1 tbsp. cinnamon together, then sprinkle over the sliced apples. Do not mix in.
In a medium bowl, combine flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder. Once combined, add the lightly beaten egg, stirring it in as best you can. It won't mix together thoroughly, and that's okay. I used my fingers to try to work the egg into the dry ingredients.
Sprinkle flour mixture topping over the cinnamon/sugared apples.
Pour melted butter over the topping.
Then sprinkle with extra cinnamon.
Bake for about 45 minutes or until filling is bubbling and topping is nicely browned.
Store covered on countertop for 24 hours; beyond that it should be stored in the fridge.
Serve with whipped cream or ice cream if desiered.

The Inflating Charm[1] (Inflatus) is a charm used to increase the size of the target by inflating it; once inflated beyond the maximum capacity of its outer size, the targeted creature will explode into colourful party balloons.[2]
In 1993, Harry Potter accidentally lost control of his magic, and used it on his Aunt Marge.
Harry Potter, Ronald Weasley and Hermione Granger used this spell on various creatures around the grounds of Hogwarts Castle throughout the 1994-1995 school year, under the authorisation of their Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher, Professor Bartemius Crouch Jr. (who was disguised as Alastor Moody).
The prefix 'Inflate' derives from the English verb "to expand with oxygen".

PMI Showing Corroborates Downbeat Growth Outlook
The purchasing managers' index (PMI) release for Northeast Asian economies in August reaffirms our gloomy outlook on the region's economic trajectory in the months ahead. South Korea's print of 47.5 reflected the country's third straight month of contraction while Taiwan's print of 50 signalled 'no-change' in manufacturing conditions on the island. The region's weak showing comes even as we see signs of stabilisation in China's slowing economy. Both countries witnessed falls in production levels and forward looking indicators suggest that this decline is set to maintain its trajectory in the coming months. New orders (domestic and export) have been falling for successive months while backlogs fell markedly. Also, businesses have seen been scaling back on buying activity. In another sign of the weak state of economic activity, businesses have had also had to repeatedly reduce output prices to retain competitiveness.
Further indication of the region's economic trajectory can also be gleaned from the performance of Taiwan's and South Korea's core industries, which are well positioned across the region's supply chain. In Taiwan, semiconductor production and exports, rudimentary inputs into all electronics, have seen tepid growth at a time when the industry is supposed to hit a cyclical peak. In South Korea, its exports, which are more diversified and range from semiconductors to finished electronics products, machinery, autos, ships and petrochemicals, have seen growth fail to match up to expectations. These factors collectively point towards the fact that the purported economic recovery that many market observers have called for is unlikely to materialise. For these reasons, we are happy to retain our below consensus 2013 real GDP growth forecasts of South Korea and Taiwan at 2.1%.

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, PLAINTIFF,v.RICHARD J. PULLEY, DEFENDANT.
Defendant Richard Pulley was indicted under the federal felon in possession of a firearm statute, which provides that it is illegal for a person who has been convicted in any court of, a crime punishable by imprisonment for a term exceeding one year . . . to ship or transport in interstate or foreign commerce, or possess in or affecting commerce, any firearm or ammunition; or to receive any firearm or ammunition which has been shipped or transported in interstate or foreign commerce.
18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1). On August 4, 2011, Pulley filed motions to dismiss his indictment with prejudice (ECF 89, ECF 92), which he subsequently amended through a motion to dismiss filed on August 31, 2011. (ECF 112.) Pulley argues that Section 922(g)(1) violates the Second Amendment and the Due Process and Equal Protection clauses of the Fifth Amendment. (Id.)
The government filed an opposition to Pulley's motion on April 4, 2012. (ECF 134.) The court heard oral argument on September 26, 2012.
I. Second Amendment Claim
Pulley argues that Section 922(g)(1) violates the Second Amendment because a permanent ban on all felons possessing firearms, regardless of the underlying crime committed, is overly broad and therefore invalid under the strict scrutiny standard he claims applies. (Mot. to Dismiss at 11-12, ECF 112.) This argument is unavailing. Pulley correctly asserts that the Supreme Court has determined that rational basis review is not applicable to laws affecting Second Amendment rights, in District of Columbia v. Heller, 554 U.S. 570, 628 n.27 (2008). (See ECF 112 at 7.) But the Heller Court did not at the same time decide that strict scrutiny is the correct standard of review. Rather, it declined to specify the standard it used to strike the ordinance being challenged in that case. See id. at 628-29 (noting ordinance under review would fail any level of scrutiny, including rational basis). The Court's subsequent decision in McDonald v. City of Chicago, __ U.S. __, 130 S.Ct. 3020(2010), has not altered the landscape with respect to the standard of review.
Although Pulley cites to two Ninth Circuit decisions in the case of Nordyke v. King, 563 F.3d 439, 458 (9th Cir. 2009) and 644 F.3d 776 (9th Cir. 2011), for the proposition that strict scrutiny applies in the Second Amendment context (ECF 112 at 5, 10), the Ninth Circuit vacated the first opinion and granted rehearing en banc as to the second, the former action occurring before defendant's motion was filed. See Nordyke v. King, 611 F.3d 1015 (9th Cir. 2010); Nordyke v. King, 664 F.3d 774 (9th Cir. 2011). The Ninth Circuit's more recent opinion in that case declines to determine what level of review applies. See Nordyke v. King, 681 F.3d 1041, 1045 (9th Cir. 2012), cert. denied, Nordyke v. King, No. 12-275, 2013 WL 57120 (U.S. Jan. 7, 2013) (concluding plaintiff's Second Amendment challenge to ordinance prohibiting firearm possession on County property cannot succeed "no matter what form of scrutiny applies").
This court also need not determine the appropriate level of scrutiny, or whether Section 922(g)(1) passes rational basis review or strict scrutiny, because the Ninth Circuit has determined Section 922(g)(1) is not unconstitutional and that determination remains binding on this court. In United States v. Vongxay, 594 F.3d 1111, 1113-14 (9th Cir. 2010), cert. denied, __ U.S. __, 131 S. Ct. 294 (2010), a defendant was convicted under Section 922(g)(1) for possessing a semiautomatic handgun based on his previous convictions for three non-violent felonies, namely two car burglaries and drug possession. The court did not articulate a standard of review, but concluded that Section 922(g)(1) did not violate the Second Amendment in light of Heller or earlier precedent. Id. at 1115-17. See also Enos v. Holder, 855 F. Supp. 2d 1088, 1097-98 (E.D. Cal. 2012) (assembling cases from multiple circuits and districts that have found Section 922(g)(1) "presumptively lawful" post-Heller).
Morever, the Vongxay court rejected the additional arguments Pulley makes in support of his Second Amendment claim. In Heller, the Court stated that
[l]ike most rights, the right secured by the Second Amendment is not unlimited . . . . Although we do not undertake an exhaustive historical analysis today of the full scope of the Second Amendment, nothing in our opinion should be taken to cast doubt on longstanding prohibitions on the possession of firearms by felons . . . . 554 U.S. at 626. Pulley asserts that this passage is dicta and that Section 922(g)(1) contradicts the history of the Second Amendment, which was never intended to prevent felons from owning firearms. (ECF 112 at 13-19.) The Vongxay court explained, however, that nothing in Heller, including the quoted portion, demonstrates Section 922(g)(1) is unconstitutional, that the law is "consistent with the explicit purpose of the Second Amendment to maintain the security of a free State" and that most scholars agree that the history of the Second Amendment supports prohibiting criminals from having firearms. 594 F.3d at 1115, 1117-18(internal citations and quotations omitted). In light of the established law on the question, Section 922(g)(1) does not violate the Second Amendment.
II. Due Process Claim
Pulley next argues that Section 922(g)(1) violates the Fifth Amendment's Equal Protection and Due Process*fn1 Clauses. The statute, he says, affects convicted felons unevenly depending on the state in which they were convicted, because each state defines felonies differently. (ECF 112 at 22.) He argues that under strict scrutiny, which he says is the appropriate standard under Heller, the statute could be more narrowly tailored to serve its intended purpose of preventing those who are a danger to society from owning guns. (Id. at 27-28). The Vongxay court rejected an identical argument, first explaining that whichever standard of review the Court in Heller "implicitly applied," it is not relevant to a challenge to Section 922(g)(1) because "the Supreme Court has purposefully differentiated the right to bear arms generally from the more limited right held by felons." Vongxay, 594 F.3d at 1118. The court in Vongxay then determined that an earlier Supreme Court case upholding Section 922(g)(1)'s predecessor provided the applicable law. Id. at 1118-19 (referencing the decision regarding then-current 18 U.S.C. § 1202(a)(1) in Lewis v. United States, 445 U.S. 55 (1980)). Following Lewis, the Vongxay court held that Section 922(g)(1) does not violate the Equal Protection clause. Pulley has not shown that Section 922(g)(1) is inconsistent with the Fifth Amendment.
The court DENIES with prejudice Pulley's motion to dismiss.

Seems a bit quiet around here. Whats everyone up to?
I had quite an exhausting day. I am a legal assistant and one of our clients is building a shopping/business center (with a Trader Joes ) The stupid city makes people post signs concerning what is being done, when the hearing is...every 600 feet of road frontage. the is an 82 acre area that is divided by a street, we had to post 24 signs. Luckily the sun was out and dh wasn't busy so him and dd went with me, we walked the whole thing, with the signs in the wagon. I was glad to have his help.
Yesterday dd and I rearranged her room to make room for baby stuff. Its pretty much done for what we can do for now, so thats one thing out of the way.
Also my garden is all planted now too, yay! we have a lot planted, hopefully it all grows good, its the first year we've had one, I am quite excited, mostly about the tomatoes. Home grown tomatoes are the best!
Whats up with everyone?
Seems a bit quiet around here. Whats everyone up to?
Glad DH was there to help you! Exciting about having a Trader Joes! I loooove that store!
I literally work, watch tv and sleep lol. I feel like such a lazy bum sometimes. But i just quit my second job about a month ago, so I am down to one 9-5, M-F job. I plan on working right up until my due date, possibly leaving a few days before.
I cant wait to get all of our baby room stuff together and organized! My shower isnt until next month, and that when we will be getting the majority of the nursery stuff, so I am just on hold with getting it done. It drives me nuts not to have it done already, but being that this is my first, I have NOTHING to put in it yet. (well a few clothes items that I/her nana couldnt resist purchasing, and of course some stuffed animals).
I just cant wait to get it all done and have it ready for her! I am going to make my SO put everything together that night! (haha he would be so mad)
Hope everyone is feeling great!!
Things have been good here. My parents are coming to visit for 5 days. SOOOOOOOO excited haven't seen them since Thanksgiving. i hope DS2 warms up quickly too them its been too long despite showing him pictures, so we'll see.
Its busy working full time, trying to keep up with teh house and 2 active boys, but we're making it.
Congrats on getting the room ready!
Things are a little busy, but I guess nothing too crazy. We are desparately trying to get our house on the market in the next month. But with that comes all the stuff we need to do outside to get it ready - which we've of course put off until now. We've been pulling out bushes/trees for the past week and have at least as much to still pull out. On top of that, we're trying to get one of our apartments rented (still - 2 months now I think?) and then found out early last week that a tenant in another house will be moving out at the end of June (thats a easy rent tho - thankfully!!). PLUS - I spoke to another one of our tenants about her lease ending and she said they were thinking of moving, but weren't sure yet. With the price of gas they were thinking of moving closer to work...So, I think we've decided that we are going to just end the relationship with them so we will know exactly when it'll be vacant. Rather than finding out in August that she's moving out and trying to rent it with a newborn and all the added responsibilities of that! So - we're keeping busy with everything at home and even work has been busy! Hopefully we'll get everything squared away soon cuz we need to get or little guy into his new room and the baby's stuff set up. We've only gotten 2 outfits for her and a blanket. We're gonna need more clothes than that for sure!
I love Trader Joe's!
I am officially done with school! YIPPPPEEEE! Last few weeks have been CRAZY with papers & finals & WORK!! I got A's in both classes, so now all that's standing in my way of a copy of my Bachelors is the $1600 bill I owe! Err that will take awhile. Time is flying sooo fast it seems. I still have some work to do on our nursery, but I'll have more time now! We have some shoe to put on the trim around the floor, a new ceiling fan to purchase and install, and the closet doors to paint (a pain since its small wooden slats). More good news is that my DH now has a summer job (he's a teacher so he's off for the summer), so we'll have more money coming in! I feel like its all down hill from here! Crossing my fingers that Baby Ben's delivery will go ok, along with everyone else's! It feels like summer here already with the 80 degree weather! The excitement is growing along with my belly for sure! We'll see what the doc says on u/s on Monday, but I'm sure Baby Ben is growing fine.
Love Trader Joe's! Wish we had one. Love that you were able to do a tedious task with the family to make it better (the signs). Would LOVE to go on a walk with DH and the dogs. Maybe Aug/Sept. lol
Holy moley jaimers! You are quite busy with rental property and your own house. I'm a touch jealous (military housing here) but you go girl! Just try not to get too stressed about it all.
Jessica, CONGRATS! Yeah for you on finishing school. Not an easy task. Also, congrats to DH on the summer job. Being a teacher I know how treasured and well-earned summers are no matter what haters think.
Well, I feel lazy compared to all of you. Think I'm heading closer and closer to strict bed-rest. My MIL is in for surgery today to replace her hip, so DH is driving down (with the doggies :yahoo:) to spend the weekend with me. I'm excited about that, but bummed it will be a pretty slow weekend. I truly truly wish I could do more. But, on a high note DH will get to go to dr. appt with me. He hasn't been for the last few appts, so I'm happy. On a good note, I did color my hair yesterday, took a shower and shaved my legs (woo woo), and did my laundry. LOL that's a 1/2 hr for most of you.
Hope all have a GREAT weekend!!
Trader Joe's is where it's at here in sunny LA
Starting to get busy with it as time gets nearer...had family in town from London all week and they're gone now...DH busy with bringing in work, blah blah...
Have been in and out of the bulletin board...just not as much
Childbirth classes started yesterday! Had fun there, DH loved it, good group of people.
Bobo is getting lots of gifts already...right now, she has a bigger wardrobe than I do.
Looking forward to the 3rd trimester next week!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Munno Very good smell What can I say about this fragrance.. This fragrance hands down has gotten me the most compliments of all my fragrances. (I own many, including niche and expensive designer fragrances) This fragrance is fresh yet has nice complexities, longevity wise I easily get 8 hours of this stuff projecting around. This fragrance I would say is also very versatile both season wise and occasion wise. You could wear this in summer, in the fall.. All year round basically. This fragrance is not too offensive to be used in the office (all tho I personally would not use it, my suit fragrance is bleu de chenal EDP) I think this fragrance shines for when you are going out during the day or evening., it has a good energy too it. EXCELLENT club fragrance. Men might not love this scent, but I know for 100% certainty that women LOVE this scent. I have received so many direct and indirect compliments whilst wearing this fragrance. As soon as girls have gotten close to me while wearing Invictus they have told me on too many occasions to count that I smell amazing. Seen some 10/10 reactions for this stuff from women. Age wise I think this suits anyone from the ages of 15 - 30 with a playful fun nature and who is outgoing and confident. All I can say is you will not regret purchasing September 9, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by Sutnam summer beast I am in Madrid writing this review and all I can this stuff is all you need for the heat because it smells so wonderful and it projects like a beast as soon as the sun hits you the smell just gets better and better I love this stuff and am glad I chose invictus because I feel like a champion holding my winning cup August 3, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by Nick1 Fast service Bought fragrance from Escentual as was very impressed with the speed of service... Free next day delivery. The fragrance arrived well packaged and was a very good price. I would buy from them again. July 26, 2016

What our Customers Say about our Service
"Last night I got a confirmation that the recipient received the cake and greeting card. I'm so glad that you solved the problem. I was considering for the next year to look for another company, but as you took care about the reported issue, surely I will come back to you for your services. Thanks a lot. Keep doing a good service, and take care of this kind of issues for future customers."
Gabriela A - Guadalajara, Mexico - Sep 21, 2015
"I am thankful to find Gift Baskets Overseas - they delivered 22 gift baskets to all of our clients in Europe and Asia. I can speak highly of their customer service: I was able to get my order submitted in Excel file and they handled the rest. I wish most US businesses were as efficient and fast. "
R. D. - USA - April 30, 2009
"Excellent products, promptness and amiability. The gift I ordered from Lima, Peru for my daughter was delivered at scheduled time. My daughter told me it was of excellent quality and the lady who brought it was really nice to her. I would definitely recommend this service."
Dalila Cavero - Lima, Peru - June 6, 2012
"My son, Lewis and his beautiful bride, Zulema, received the basket just before their wedding ceremony. They were thrilled with it Smile. As they had chosen an intimate occasion with just the two of them - on the other side of the planet - this gesture meant so much to me and my husband. I would certainly recommend your services - especially to the discerning customer, as your reassurance and ease of ordering, coupled with the great follow-up service, gives peace of mind Smile. Thank you, again."
