Investor Conduct Towards New High Technology Firms: UK Evidence on How Risk is Managed
This paper uses statistical analysis to characterise 'industry practice', in terms of concordance of investors concerning appropriate practice. The evidence was gathered by field work methods in 2000-01, and refers to the practices of twenty UK venture capital investors, who accounted for the bulk of funds allocated to high technology investments in the UK. This paper has two parts: general and detailed statistical analysis. 1) In the first part, the main finding is of a coherent (and generally statistically significant picture) of investor conduct towards high-technology companies. Thus it is found that investors assign risk premia and expected values, and use risk classes. They adopt relatively short time horizons, but follow quite sophisticated procedures in investment appraisal. For example, they use sensitivity analysis, cash flow prediction, financial modelling, and decision trees. However, they miss out in some sophisticated areas of technical analysis, including Value at Risk (VaR), and simulation methods (including Monte Carlo methods). 2) The second part of the paper focuses on risk, factors influencing it, and innovation. Its aim is to discover if there is a kind of 'industry standard' or consensus about what is most important to investors in the high technology area. Largely, that turned out to be the case. The UK venture capitalists are agreed on what are high-risk and low-risk investments. They also agree on what are the key commercial factors affecting risk. However, when it comes to non-commercial factors, this consensus starts to crumble. Finally, so far as features of innovation are concerned, industry consensus starts to break down entirely. Thus, there do remain important areas in which investor practice is opaque. Therefore, there remains a need for further research into investor practice in the UK.

Airbus Defence and Space said on Friday that it will supply six A330 MRTT refuelling jets to Singapore's air force and that India was close to ordering another half dozen.
The deal brings the total number of converted Airbus jetliners sold as tankers to 34 worldwide after Australia, Britain, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates previously placed orders.
India was in the "final stages of contractual negotiations for six aircraft," the company, a subsidiary of Airbus Group NV, said in a statement.
Airbus Group Chief Executive Officer Tom Enders told reporters in Washington that the Singapore order underscored the appeal of the MRTT tanker, although he acknowledged that the orders were far smaller than the 179 planes ordered by the US Air Force from Boeing Co after a prolonged series of competitions. Singapore was also assessing the Boeing 767-based KC-46A tanker being built for the US Air Force.
Boeing said it was disappointed by the news, but remained committed to its longstanding relationship with Singapore.
Boeing said it would also continue to vy for tanker orders elsewhere, including South Korea, which is expected to launch a formal competition in coming months.
"We continue to see strong interest in the KC-46A from nations looking to modernize their aerial refueling capabilities," said Boeing spokesman Jerry Drelling.
Singapore's decision to buy the six Airbus tankers to replace its fleet of four Boeing KC-135 tankers gives it a vehicle that can refuel both its F-15s and a possible purchase of Lockheed Martin F-35s. The Airbus purchase means Singapore could transport aircraft that can carry around 300 passengers. That would be useful for the Singapore Armed Forces, which conducts training in Australia and Taiwan.
Singapore-based maintenance and repair firm ST Aerospace, a unit of Singapore Technologies Engineering Ltd, was expected to be selected to make the modifications on the A330 MRTT for the country.

MoBots are small applications that you can build in your phone using a very simple graphical interface. They act automatically on specific events like small robots. This is why we call them Mobile Robots or MoBots.
Yellow block that represent events capable to awake up your MoBot, like clock, incoming calls and sms, or enter a cell location or a bluetooth range..
Green blocks that represents conditions that should occur when the MoBots receive previous event, to allow the execution of the task, like the active profile, time, or location...
Blue blocks that represents the actions will take place automatically when the above is true, like ring, vibrate, place a misscall, send an sms or mms.. etc.
So you can create several MoBots that responde by you to different daily situations and all are independently active or sleeping. To get more powerful, some MoBots actions may be to activate or disable others MoBots, so complex behaviours like games, can be created.
Imagine you what to make a misscall to your girlfriend, everytime you´re arriving to her house during the evening, to advise her so she comes out. This is a very simple task for a MoBots, that awake when it sens the cell-id of your girlfriend house, see if is evening, and then place a miss call. Only three blocks of MoBots!
If your mobile has accelerator, you can leave a handset in your car, and if you create a MoBots that if notes movement, then place a call to your other handset, you´ve create an alarm that your car is being stolen with only two blocks of MoBots.

I'm I a pedophile for wanting Sue to win?
Just my own feeling and honestly speaking:
No more Miss Yellow Hair
No more Miss Curve Hair
No more Miss Quirkilicious's Style
(But fine to have Miss E Cup )
Bored to only have new released characters to join the Miss Clint City.
If the rules can be changed, maybe we can vote the representative character from each of the clan in all release to join the final and it would have more fun!
Many, many people have been asking for it for years!
C'mon, UR! It's the 21st Century... make it happen, please!

Yarn Along 3/14/12
~ Two of my favorite things are knitting and reading, and the evidence of this often shows up in my photographs. I love seeing what other people are knitting and reading as well. So, what are you knitting or crocheting right now? What are you reading? Take a photo and share it either on your blog or on Flickr. Leave a link below to share your photo with the rest of us! ~From Ginny
Hello fellow readers and crafters. I am back again! I am still working on Phoebe! I have knit 3 sets of ears-that is 6 ears total! At one point my husband said "You are making another ear!" I just can't help it, I said, I am addicted.... I need this Little Friend to be as perfect as I can make her! She is going to a good cause. And I still playing catch up fpr my daughter and on the side reading Amazing Women of the Civil War (I am a Civil War enthusiast can you tell? But can you blame me-- I live in Virginia, after all. ). when I can but I am involved in a Spring Swap from my friend Julie. I am have some ideas in the works BUT I am trying to keep them under wraps for now. Here is a hint.
I am not close to being done but it sure is a delightful way to welcome Spring with other moms and their sweet babes!
I have been on a shirt making frenzy lately. I made one to welcome her to turning 2. It was a joy to make some delightful gifts... hair clips, a magic wand and a shirt or 2 to celebrate her big day . Yes I went overboard (as usual) but I just couldn't help myself. I should have though....my gift wasn't received the way I expected, which I am sure is my own fault. I expected behavior(from the momma--not the child) for what I would have done in the situation not what I should expected. Lesson learned.

Nokia plans to halve the number of smartphones in its portfolio, but it confirmed its commitment to the Symbian operating system.
The new head of Nokia's smartphone division, Jo Harlow, said in a webcast the move was in response to "really fierce competition" at the top of the market, and increasing competition for less sophisticated models.

Although Nokia still holds 35% of the mobile phone market, it has lost ground to Apple's iPhone and Research in Motion's BlackBerry, and is most at risk from Samsung, which has almost doubled its market share in two years.
Nokia CEO Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo said earlier Nokia plans to push smartphone prices down while increasing margins, helped by its Symbian operating system.
Simplifying the product range will allow Nokia to put more effort into fewer products, said the firm's head of smartphones R&D, Antti Vasara.
Nokia is also trying to emulate Apple's success with the App Store with Ovi, a similar online store for applications and music.
It is also making Symbian an open source platform, meaning that anyone can write applications for it without paying licence fees.
Analysts said Nokia's extensive product range had helped it in the past, so any cuts would have to be thought through carefully.
"Reducing the number of smartphone models makes a lot of sense but Nokia has to be very careful in finding the right balance," said Bernstein analyst Pierre Ferragu.
Pablo Perez-Fernandez, an analyst with MKM Partners, said, "Simplicity is always best, so cutting the number of models while improving the rest of the portfolio is a sensible move."

How should a fair-minded environmentalist make a decision about HS2? How, indeed, should such a person, or even a group of people claiming to be "the greenest government ever", make decisions about huge infrastructure projects for which great environmental benefits are claimed?
Last week, the route of the second phase of the proposed high-speed railway from London to the north was announced, and today The Independent on Sunday publishes an investigation of its effect on nature reserves, wetlands and irreplaceable ancient woodlands. How can the fate of the purple hairstreak butterfly and the Bechstein bat, and their habitats, be weighed against the marginal mitigation of climate change? And how then can the supposed gains for the economy, and in particular for closing the north-south divide, be measured in the equation?
We have been here before. This newspaper supported the Severn barrage scheme before the election, but we accepted reluctantly that the electricity it would generate would be much more expensive than the main green alternatives. We accepted that, if Chris Huhne, the former energy secretary who abandoned the scheme in October 2010, could not make it work, no one else was likely to.
Similar arguments apply to our conditional support for renewing nuclear power stations. If the operators can make them pay without subsidy, let them go ahead. Yet the timetable is forever slipping, and the big difference in green energy is being made by wind turbines.
The HS2 plan runs on sentiment. High-speed rail is the sort of shiny project that any go-ahead government ought to be proposing. Cars and planes bad; trains good, and green. The domination of the economy by London and the south-east is The Problem and high-speed trains are The Solution.
There are far too many assumptions behind the project that need to be challenged. Even if the high-speed line were extended to Scotland this century, would it really suppress demand for domestic air travel? It would make no difference to motorway traffic volumes; it might simply allow a little extra traffic to be carried by train once the roads are saturated. That might add a tick or two to the Gross National Product – but it would make no difference to climate change. Is that worth the huge cost? We are sceptical. Action on climate change, as the IoS has consistently argued, means putting a price on carbon and it needs to be global.
What, then, of the argument that HS2 would "rebalance" the British economy away from London and the south-east? There is one problem with the case for cutting journey times from Scotland and northern England to the continent: the route passes through London. Look at the HS2 route, and you see that it simply adds a spoke to the existing rail network – starting from London. Although HS2 might extend the London commuter zone and business penumbra along its route, it would increase its gravitational pull on the rest of the economy.
Yes, parts of the existing rail network are running close to capacity. But the truly green and balanced policy might be to increase its capacity, while building fast east-west rail connections across the north of England and central Scotland, and to invest in green technology to cut carbon use by road traffic.
As soon as the green credentials for HS2 are examined, they are found wanting. Nor has the case yet been made to justify the loss of 24 Sites of Special Scientific Interest.

Joanne Woodward won an Oscar in 1957 for her portrayal of a woman, Eve, suffering from multiple personality disorder. Woodward's performance was Oscar-worthy and the film has fascinated me all these years. Many of the movie posters were merged photos of these three personalities.

Fanatic (n.) - marked by excessive enthusiasm for and intense devotion to a cause or idea
If one goes so far as to create extra 'selves'... I'd say that falls under the heading 'intense devotion'. Another word for that is 'narcissist', right?

"Todd has been an important part of RCR's success for many years," said Richard Childress, president and CEO of Richard Childress Racing. "He is still employed and under contract and his role with RCR will be determined in the near future."
Berrier has been an RCR employee since 1994.
This will be Lambert's first stint as a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series crew chief. The 28-year-old has been with RCR since September 2005. He was named a team engineer for the No. 31 program in 2008. He is a 2005 graduate of North Carolina State University with a Bachelor of Science degree in mechanical engineering.
"Luke will be the interim crew chief until further notice," said Childress. "He has a strong grasp of the job requirements and an established line of communication with Jeff (Burton) so we have every confidence that he will do a great job."
Burton and the No. 31 team are 25th in the 2011 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series point standings after 19 races. Burton has qualified three times (2006-2008) for the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup.
"I'm honored that Richard and Jeff have the confidence in me to lead the Cat Racing team," said Lambert. "This is a talented group of guys who know what it takes and has been successful so there's no reason to think we can't be successful moving forward."

Be prepared to wait for your mattress. I waited nearly four weeks for my mattress so I was disappointed when it arrived torn and marked. I decided that it was worth the wait for another mattress which did finally arrived after another three weeks.... and yes we are now so glad that we waited. We are having the best night sleep on this mattress and we would recommend it!!!

Fantastic Bed! We upgraded to a king bed and we are so glad we did! We needed two twin boxsprings to be able to get it around the stairs and this set came that way. The mattress is so comfortable and the support is just right for us. We have had other beds that cost a lot more from Slumberland that just didn't give us the support we need, plus there was the hassle and expense of having them delivered. We love our new bed.

We Wanted to Get High, So High, But We Didn't
Over at Grits for Breakfast, Scott Henson's talking about a bill banning the use of salvia divinorum by Texans 18 and under.
Henson had never heard of the drug before, but HouStoned sure has, as you can see in this article by Margaret Downing.
Intense, somewhat intense, rush that didn't last long but a rush all the same -- our research scientists reached consensus that they felt something. Some got it right away; others said they needed three or four hits before anything kicked in. Several also got an almost instantaneous mild headache that would nag them for hours.
One volunteer said she felt glued to her chair; she couldn't move. Several others said they felt leaden, suddenly uncoordinated. Legs and arms didn't work right. Lethargy reigned. The presence of our "watchdog baby-sitters" (there in case something went wrong) seemed superfluous, a paranoid level of overprotectiveness. No one was going to dance around and fall down. No one wanted to get up. Still, someone might catch the couches on fire, and since we were sitting on these couches and couldn't seem to get up, that could be trouble.
Giggles. More giggles. A wave of giggles around the room as we pondered the immensity of this. Despite all the literature stressing that salvia was "not a party drug" and was "not marijuana," the biggest general effect was to give us a massive case of the giggles. Salvia was supposed to make people withdraw into their own rooms, into their own heads, with lights down and no intrusions. Introspection time. Talking would divert people from seeing visions.

Note that Google Maps uses the Mercator projection, which means that areas closer to the poles appear larger on the map than the actually are, and areas very close to the poles cannot be shown at all.

The coordinates are given in decimal format. If you prefer degrees, minutes and seconds, you can use the FCC's handy conversion tool.

The monkey always wins.....
Trip Start
Jul 05, 2010
Trip End
Jul 27, 2010
Where I stayed
Hostel Oasis, Grenada, Nicaragua
Having a bunch of adventures here….eating some great food…but when you get right down to it, it's the monkeys that always leave the most remarkable impression....you may remember my fascination and love for those monkeys...wherever they might be…so, of course, when we're told about monkey island we have to check it out.
It all starts with a too-long walk down to the boats. Someone told us, "just go to the end of the street, make a right and you can't miss the pangas." So we do that….and we walk, and walk, and walk…..it's hotter than one can imagine….it must be only a bit further…we're walking along the coast of Lake Nicaragua, people are bathing, washing their clothes...but no pangas. We enter a giant park…we're approached by young men trying to convince us to tour these isletas with them….but we're looking for a pier, or something close to a pier.. and maybe even some other travelers for a sense of security...help us know we're in the right place. But we see neither. Finally, tired of walking, we succumb to the charms of Lester who charms us over to a plan that will take us on a panga to check out the isletas (kind of like the Thousand Islands upstate, except these were all formed by this volcano exploding in some miraculous way).
Well things are never as they seem and as it turns out, Lester (our supposed tour guide), doesn't get in the boat w/ us but turns us over to this 16 year old to not only serve as the guide but to drive the boat as well.…..he's all we've got…and I think of my 16 year old students and cringe at this guys responsibility. But he turns out ok….very boat-capable, gentle, and full of information about the isletas. And then we get to monkey island.
Now it's understood that we're not to go aboard monkey island because as everybody knows, the monkeys chase you and bite. But when we get there, there's this cute monkey walking around in a different boat and we get near it and he hops on ours. The thing about monkeys though is that they have no sense of personal space. They walk directly at you and right when you think it's time for them to stop, they don't. So this monkey is all cute and entertaining and Corey puts her hand into her bag to share our bread and this makes him know there's GOT to be more food inside that bag. Next thing you know, he goes from being cute-monkey to being devil-monkey in her face, digging in her bag, SCREEEEECHING, and WIDE-MOUTHEDLY baring his teeth inches away from her face.
Until now, I'm snapping photos- amused by the interaction until it takes this turn. I see the teeth and can feel them sinking into flesh….so I go to kick his butt just a bit, but I don't want to anger him while he's that close to her face with big sharp teeth showing. And we both hear the "guide:" saying in Spanish…."he's going to bite you, the monkeys going to bite you"….not very reassuring and doing NOTHING about this fact. I tell Corey to give him the whole food bag…which she is too-reluctantly-for-the-monkey doing anyway. And he sits there next to us on the boat eating our lunch…we think for a second about trying to get back the hard-boiled eggs – we were looking forward to them - but we're not about to interrupt his feast…don't want to see those teeth again...so he just dines....the victor...knows he's got us under hs thumb.
Convinced, I guess, that he's gotten all there is to get, he carries the bag back to the island...maybe to share w/his monkey friends. We're rushing w/ adrenaline. I can still see those teeth truly inches from her face. She did get a bit of a nip on the hand…didn't break skin…no wild animal bite….but you can see the teeth marks. Got to say, Corey deals with the whole situation well…no freak out….couldn't afford that. So we get away lucky I'd say….all intact, some good photos esp the one etched in my memory of monkey domination….sure hope he enjoys our hard-boiled eggs…

Are you cooool maaaann?
Got the locker and gears installed in the rear this weekend, will get some wheeling pics up as soon as I remember to bring my camera the next time I wheel it. Gonna have to do a little fender trimming also. I'll see you at Silver on Labor Day weekend.
August 28th, 2008, 09:52 PM | #33 |
Are you cooool maaaann?
Does perfect for stuff around here, there aren't too many hardcore places to wheel that are close by. It will be bigger some day, looks good and drives even better the way it sits tho.
January 11th, 2009, 06:37 PM | #36 |
Are you cooool maaaann?
Well, not much has changed on the cherokee. I did get the wood stove hooked up in the garage so I won't freeze my balls off when I do get some work done on it.
Also got a tube bender, cheap one off of ebay, I bent up some conduit to test it out and it should definately get the job done tho. Thinking of doing some tube flares as the first project, just need to decide on what welder I will be buying. If anyone has a 110 welder that they want to get rid of that will do up to 1/4" steel let me know. Just a few wheeling pics to prove it does get used.

Mocha is having a blast at night!! It is never when anyone is awake but when I get up in the morning her food bowls are empty and her toys are all over the place! Her turtle was in the kitchen this morning so I guess she is enjoying her time at night. The funny thing is that I put her turtle on her cat tree each morning so I know she is getting up in her tree each night.

The Institutional Real Estate Letter - Australia
March 1, 2015: Vol. 4 Number 1
Buy For $65.00 Add to Cart-
Measuring up: Will Australia's real estate performance continue to compare favourably to markets around the world?
The global economy is sending mixed signals to real estate investors. As the International Monetary Fund puts it in its most recent World Economic Outlook,"despite setbacks, an uneven global recovery continues."
Back and forth: A look at the year that was and the year ahead
This quarter, Property Investment Research reviews several key trends from 2014, before we peer into the crystal ball for 2015.
Civilisation from the ground up: Funding, productivity, employment, environment and social utility play major roles in infrastructure projects
Infrastructure. Early civilisation was built upon it: roads, bridges, dams, aqueducts, sewers and ports. Today, developed nations have added to these ancient beginnings new technologies such as power, satellite communications and high-speed long distance travel.
What shoppers want: Some consumer trends are more obvious than others
Property Investment Research estimates that shopping centres make up the single largest commercial property asset class in Australia. During the past few years, we have periodically reviewed the retail sector; this quarter, we examine a recent survey that sheds light on shoppers' preferences.
A tale of two cities: London and Paris, Europe's two mega-cities, are powering ahead
London and Paris stand alone in Europe as the continent's truly global cities. They are not only leaders in terms of commerce, they are also world-renowned centres for politics, sport, culture, history, tourism, transport and education. All these factors influence the unique real estate needs of the two cities.
New York City retakes top spot for FDI
New York City has returned to its long-held slots as both the number one global and number one US city for investment in real estate, according to the 23rd Annual Surveytaken among the members of the Association of Foreign Investors in Real Estate.
Oz property markets keep attracting Chinese investment
The Sydney metropolitan area is the location for three recent deals by Chinese developers and investors.

Israel's Economy May Expand by 3.4% in 2013, Bureau Says
Alisa OdenheimerIsrael's economy will probably expand 3.4 percent this year, less than the central bank forecast, the official statistics office said in its first estimate of 2013 growth.
Growth would be the same as last year, the Jerusalem-based Central Bureau of Statistics said at a press conference today. The Bank of Israel in June forecast 3.8 percent growth.
"Growth is pretty good compared to the rest of the world," Daniel Hewitt, a London-based economist at Barclays Plc, said before the announcement. "Indicators are mixed. It has a downward feel to it all, except for consumption. Exports have been very volatile. Consumption has been just great. The consumer is holding up the Israeli economy."
The central bank has gradually reduced the borrowing rate to 1.25 percent from 3.25 percent in 2011 in an effort to shore up the economy amid slowing global growth. Exports account for about 35 percent of gross domestic product.
Israel's $250 billion economy rebounded from the global crisis faster than most peers. Between 2009 and 2012, output expanded by 14.7 percent, compared with 10.7 percent in Australia, 3.2 percent in the U.S. and a contraction of 1.5 percent in the euro region, the Finance Ministry said in a January report.
Output was helped this year by new gas production that began in the spring and will add an estimated 1 percentage point to annual growth, Hewitt said.
"The biggest factor is the gas production," Hewitt said. "That is providing a boost to the economy."
Consumption Rising
Private consumption will rise 4 percent in 2013, after growing 3.2 percent a year earlier, the bureau said. Public consumption will probably rise 2.3 percent, after increasing 3.2 percent last year.
Exports, excluding diamonds and start-up companies, will be unchanged, after rising 4.1 percent last year, the statistics bureau said.
The country's strengthening shekel, declining global trade, and efforts by some countries to limit imports to shore up domestic manufacturers are all reducing Israeli exports, the Israel Export & International Cooperation Institute said in a report yesterday.
The shekel is the best performing currency this year among 31 major currencies tracked by Bloomberg, strengthening by almost 6 percent this year against the dollar.
Fixed investment declined 2.4 percent, after rising 3.5 percent the previous year, the bureau said.

The Orrick Bearcats held their own against much larger schools at Thursday's Chillicothe Invitational held at the Green Hills Golf Course.
The Bearcats placed ninth in the 15-team field as the Bearcats shot a 372. Pembroke Hill ended the day with 323, which edged runner-up St. Joseph LeBlond by 3 shots for the team title. Macon placed third with its 334, followed by Brookfield with 348 and Trenton with 351 to round out the top five.
Savannah was sixth with 358 while Lawson was just one shot behind the Savages.
Jake Jennings and Austin Meyer paced the Orrick team effort. Jennings shot a consistent 41-42 for the low Bearcat round. His 83 put him in 13th place, while Meyer was 2 shots off that total (44-41) and was 20th.

Little changes to my prestashop template
- Status Closed
- Budget €30 - €35 EUR
- Total Bids 3
Project Description
Some little changes to my prestashop template :
When people want to order thir picture on Canvas they can upload their foto.
at this moment the upload foto option is on a other TAB on the productpage. I want that the upload picture option is above the price and add cart button. And offcourse only on the products where I allow them to upload their picture.
Because I have a lot of product options ( attributes ) I use attribute wizard pro. At this moment the product options or attributes is also above the price and add to cart button and I want to keep it that way. But for now the attribute group name ( or product option group name) is above the option dropdown. And I want to have these dropdowns next to the attribute group name. So that each group is on one line.

GO term: | cerebellar Purkinje cell layer development |
GO id: | GO:0021680 |
Definition: | The process whose specific outcome is the progression of the cerebellar Purkinje cell layer over time, from its formation to the mature structure. The Purkinje cell layer lies just underneath the molecular layer of the cerebellar cortex. It contains the neuronal cell bodies of the Purkinje cells that are arranged side by side in a single layer. Candelabrum interneurons are vertically oriented between the Purkinje cells. Purkinje neurons are inhibitory and provide the output of the cerebellar cortex through axons that project into the white matter. Extensive dendritic trees from the Purkinje cells extend upward in a single plane into the molecular layer where they synapse with parallel fibers of granule cells. |

Everyone's experience is going to be different. Here is what I think.. If you wore braces as a kid, then I think that you will have better results and be a whole lot happier with the invisalign than those that didn't wear braces.. The reason is that your jaw has already been moved, your teeth are set in place and probably don't need that much movement. Also, I think closing gaps is easier and has better results that trying to uncrowd teeth that are laying on top of one another.
Does it hurt? Yes, your teeth and bones have to move. The first trays are the worst, then after that it hurts for the first few days.
Are the bottons noticeable? Yes, if they are on your front teeth.
Are the buttons rough? They shouldn't be, if they are go back to the ortho and have them smoothed out.
Do the bottons fall off? They shouldn't, and if they do, then the ortho didn't put them on securely.
Will my teeth be perfect at the end? Who knows.. mine aren't. I am on my last tray on the bottom #14 and the one tooth I was trying to correct, is still crooked. I have 2 more trays on top and they are nowhere near straight. The ortho told me a month ago that 25% of all patients need more trays. Wish I knew that upfront.
My trays made me lisp, dried out my mouth and made my lips dry and cracked.
I found the trays to be claustrophobic, plastic in your mouth 24/7 isn't fun. I found it annoying to go out to dinner, and I definitely think it was a hassle overall to always have a toothbrush and paste in my purse.
Do I think they are better than traditional braces? Probably, since I have nothing to compare them too and I did choose them. Am I completely satisfied? Not at this point, but I am sure I will be after the next set of impressions and trays. The end result will be straight teeth, which is what I wanted, doesn't really matter how I got there.
Overall, I think wearing braces sucks, whether they are metal, clear of invisalign.
My Invisalign
Everyone's experience is going to be different. ...
I am changing my opinion that Invisalign isn't...
I am changing my opinion that Invisalign isn't worth the time or money. I am almost done with my 2nd set of refinement trays and no imporovement from 12 weeks ago. My teeth are still crooked, and still crowded on top. Once again, the trays are not fitting correctly, and causing a slight lisp. I have an appointment next week and am asking the Ortho to scrap invisalign and put braces on my teeth. After 20 trays and 11 buttons I expected straight teeth. I don't think invisalign works well for crowding... afterall, how are the teeth going to move apart when they are encased in plastic? Approving the 3d pics wasn't an option and besides they aren't accurate. In the 3d , my teeth looked straight after the 1st set of trays, and now I am almost done with round two and they aren't straight. If you need to move your teeth apart, DONT GET INVISALIGN

Sophia just finished up "Market Day" at her school. As Grade 6 learners, she and her classmates had to create items to sell at school on 2 different Market Days. Their primary audience was other students. But at the second Market Day, parents were invited to come and visit the stalls as well.
As part of this learning exercise, Sophia worked with a classmate to create items to sell according to the rules that it must be recycled. They had a very limited budget for buying supporting supplies. Sophia and her friend used tea bags (used) to decorate note cards. They also planted flower seeds in used egg carton sections. They also made bookmarks from recycled supplies and sewed coin purses from assorted supplies they already had. It was fun to see their creativity and energy around this.
The students were very supported by their teachers in their learning. They had to make a plan and keep good financial records. They were charged a small fee to "rent" their stall. And they had to give 10% of their profits to charity. But they did get to keep the rest of their profits so there was good incentive to be successful business people! Everything tied in – even their spelling words that week were business-related words.
I don't remember learning about entrepreneurship when I was a kid. I'm not sure if it is a part of U.S. school curriculum today either. But even the few times I've been in South African schools, I've noticed that being an entrepreneur is presented as a career opportunity. And then of course, there is our kids' experiences of Market Day at their school. I'm sure there are many more examples I'd know about if I were a regular South African student or teacher.
All around in South African life are creative entrepreneurs finding a way to create basic income or to build a large business. I'm glad South African schools are helping to foster the entrepreneurial spirit and business skills to go with it. To be fair, this supported learning is likely least available to the kids whose economic situations dictate that they need it the most. That is the rub in all this.
In South Africa, there are many people who are small-business owners and entrepreneurs, like other places around the world. Additionally, I see a kind of entrepreneur that I did not see before I lived here and I might not have always used the word entrepreneur to describe. These are the people I see who are using their determination and resourcefulness in order to create a tiny bit of income for themselves and their families: women selling Tupperware, purses, etc., to other women; crafts made and sold from wire and beads; a table with snacks for sale set up where large numbers of people come through (at a clinic entrance, by the University, etc.); men who walk the streets and parking lots with homemade brooms and baskets for sale, men and women selling fruit at a table on the sidewalk. The list could go on. And the reality is also present that unemployment is high and creating a small informal business is sometimes the only way for some to find an income.

England's Oliver Wilson completed his delayed first round in style to overhaul defending champion Bradley Dredge of Wales and take the first round lead in the Omega European Masters.
Wilson was one of 44 players unable to finish their rounds yesterday after an earlier two hour delay due to morning frost at Crans-sur-Sierre Golf Club in the Swiss Alps.
The former Walker Cup player was three under par at the time and faced with a 10 foot eagle putt on the 15th green when play was suspended at 8pm local time.
He could have completed the hole but chose to mark his ball and return this morning, holing the putt and also picking up a birdie on the 17th to card a 65, six under par.
"It was a good decision not to finish the hole last night," he said. "I was debating it as I was putting well and feeling good but my caddie said it would be good to come back on a positive note. You have a putt for eagle and could work your way back into it. It was a nice length putt and I was always going to two putt it at worst but just rolled it in.
"Yesterday it was a grind and it is nice to come back and no wind. It is still tough but feels easier.
"I feel I have a lot of experience around here now and have been in the second to last group the two years on Sunday. I know how to get into contention but just haven't finished it off yet. There is a long way to go and no easy holes so have to keep concentrating and try to eliminate any mistakes."
As Wilson headed off for a quick breakfast before heading out again, one player already underway in his second round was Alessandro Tadini. The 33 year old Italian was soon celebrating after making a hole-in-one on the third, holing his six iron from 197 yards. In the process he wins a one kilo gold ingot courtesy of sponsors Credit Suisse, valued at approximately CH26,0000.

UK Queer Eye stops production.
NBC, Scout Productions, and the network behind the UK spin-off of Queer Eye for the Straight Guy "halted production saying the show needed to be more like the American version," the Guardian reports. Production company Making Time lost about £500,000 of Living TV's money working on the two rejected episodes; now, Via Digital will pick up production. The show will now debut in April, not January. The channel said they "wanted to try to get a balance between the American format and the British attitude. It is quite a challenging cultural translation."
+ plus: German network airs Queer Eye rip-off with four "lifestyle experts," insists it didn't know about Bravo's show.

Southern Cults
My Presbyterian Cult
Robert Jeffress, pastor of First Baptist Church of Dallas and a supporter of Texas Gov. Rick Perry, stirred up trouble by saying in public what many evangelical Christians say privately: Mormonism is a cult.
If he's right and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the formal name of the Mormon church) is a cult, then the Southern Baptist Convention – to which Jeffress' congregation belongs – is a bit cultish, too.
Perhaps before we start throwing around such a term, some definitional work is required.
"Cult" is most commonly used pejoratively, to describe a religious group that undermines people's independence and individuality. If the group requires you to renounce your family or community, turn over your property to the group and follow a charismatic figure without question, most people agree it's a cult and unhealthy.
For some Christians, "cult" also means any religion that does not adhere to their interpretation of Christian teaching. From this point of view, Muslims and Hindus obviously belong to cults. Many would agree that Mormons, who consider the Book of Mormon to be scripture, qualify. Some even suggest that Roman Catholics are part of a cult.
But look at any list of cult characteristics, and it becomes clear that the distinction between a religion and a cult is fuzzy. For example: "Cults claim to be the only true way to live and the path to salvation." On that criterion, many evangelical Christians belong to a cult.
We should reject any religion that routinely manipulates and/or abuses its members, but within every religious group there are people using doctrine and dogma to manipulate and abuse. Humility suggests we look within our own traditions before condemning others. There's something about that in the Gospels (Luke 6:41-42 comes to mind).
And we should remember there is another approach possible. The Latin "cultus," from which "cult" is derived, can mean reverence and care. To cultivate the land, for example, implies not just tending, but honoring the land.
What would it mean to revere or care for a God or gods? That depends on one's understanding of the divine. I use the term "God" to name the mystery of the world that is beyond our capacity to understand. Instead of suggesting "God is a mystery," I believe "God is mystery." The first formulation, with the indefinite article, implies that God is an entity, force or being with some shape, but that God's contours are beyond our capacity to comprehend. The second suggests that God is simply the name we give to what is beyond our capacity to understand. God is not a mystery, but rather another name for mystery.
From that view, to care for God is to care for the mystery that is Creation. Science has allowed us to understand many things about the world, but we humans can never fully understand such a complex universe. We are charged to care for it, to be careful. We are clever enough to intervene in the world, but we often do unintended damage. We plow the soil to grow food, and soil erodes. We burn fuels that destabilize the climate. When we try to fix what we have broken, we often compound the damage. Attending to the duty to take care would check our arrogance.
I use the term "Creation," though I don't believe there was a creator, to signal my respect for this mystery. Creation implies a wonder and awe for all that is around us, from the working of a single cell to the immense complexity of the universe. Reverence and care seem appropriate, as we struggle to find our place in a mystery greater than us and greater than we can understand.
Our task is to take care, to be careful, not mistaking our cleverness for wisdom. Perhaps the most important function of the concept of God is to remember what we are not gods. We are human, part of that Creation, not beings who can intervene in Creation without consequence.
In this sense, we all should think of our cultic duties. In this sense, I embrace my membership in a cult, the congregation of St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church in Austin, Texas.
When we view religion as the struggle to deepen our understanding of the mystery of Creation, using our stories and science, we can evaluate a religion on some universal criteria rather than dogma: Does a religion help connect people in loving community? Does a religion challenge our prejudices and help us face our fears, so that we may love more fully? Does a religion help us recognize our limits as it also helps us reach our potential? And, most importantly, does a religion teach us to take care?

cabinet software shopping...8/22
Hello everyone, I'm currently shopping around for software for the shop. I'm looking for something that has a design program for clients, and a program to produce cutlists / door and drawer sizes, etc for the shop. I do not need estimating software as I'm using a spreadsheet I created. We are a faceframe shop for what it's worth. We do not have a cnc, and probably won't in the near future. Anyone have any suggestions? I'm not looking to go the "free" route here. I'm looking for something that I can use for years, and something that can grow with the shop. I have a budget of 4k. Thoughts? Thanks,
Kris look into KCD it gives great renderings for customers, good working drawings and you can rent it also pretty easy to use there also right down the road from you in Massachusetts 8/23
Hey John, Where in Mass? I'm heading that way in a few weeks for an install... care to give a tour? 8/23
Or could be a smart Alec say Google it but here is the address
I use kcd also and really like it. I gave 2k for mine several years ago at the Atlanta show. My version is just design, no cnc or door list, pricing. 8/24
John, Thanks for the info. I mis-read your post, thought you were saying YOU were down the road in Mass... hence the tour quote 8/24
Come to Kansas and I'll be more than happy to give you a tour and I would love to see your shop in Maine if I ever get there would also love to go to Lee Nielson tool works 8/24
Try Looking at Cabinet pro. I've used it for years, nice renderings, exact cutlists, door lists, ect. Excellent Face-Frame drawings with dimensions for the shop. Very Reasonable in cost and EASY to learn. I had the program for 5 years and then upgraded to the cnc edition when I got my cnc. 8/25
You are thinking correctly. I'm not sure the "free" software is something you want to invest your time in. All those listed in this thread can provide you with the data that you are trying to generate. Just keep in mind that you can never overestimate the amount of training you will need. The more proficient you can become with the software, the more efficient your processes will become. Don't short change yourself by dropping the support. Most legitimate software companies actually utilize these funds to provide updates to software and support the needed personnel for providing help and troubleshooting. Computers, operating systems and programs require regular updating/upgrading. This is just a fact of life. 8/25
KDC tech support is free as long as you own the software 8/27
I've been using Cabnetware since 08' and I recently purchased three months of Mozaik. I've only got a few hours of playing with Mozaik, but so far I don't think it's the program for me. There's some cool features, the renderings are outstanding, but it's really bizarre to run. Mostly I think that's just because I'm so used to Cabnetware. Cabnetware is really easy to use, but it's expensive. The version I have, I think I paid almost $4k for it, and it's just design. What made me look for another program was wanting to upgrade to a version that produced door and drawer cut lists, but they wanted like $7k to bring me to a current version, (which is now Cabinet Vision), with cut lists. I like how I can place multiple rooms on a single page for shop drawings, parameters are easy to set up, modifying cabinets is easy as well. I don't remember really struggling with Cabnetware the way I have been with Mozaik. I think if I would've started with Mozaik and I was looking at Cabinet Vision, I'd probably feel a similar way. I'm not trying to knock it, or talk down about it, I just feel it's not for me. It seems like Mozaik wants to pull everything from a catalog of cabinets, and I almost never have two layouts of any cabinet, short of a fridge box, that are remotely similar. I'm sure I could build a catalog, and get it to do what I want, but I'm so used to Cabnetware that I'm likely just going to bite the bullet and upgrade to Cabinet Vision. 8/28
Hey Karl,
I started out and still use KCD and also Mozaik. If you only do standard,basic cabinets you can load KCD and be drawing basic kitchens etc in a few hours. It is very intuitive and does what it does well. Mozaik will take longer to set up but it gives you the ability to customize to a much greater degree while still being fairly efficient to use. My biggest complaint about kcd is that I consistently run into cabinets that you just cant draw in kcd and get a good,usable cutlist while with Mozaik it is rare that you can't draw what you are asked to build. That to me is huge as is the low start up cost. 8/29
I sometimes have the same problem as Denny. Sometimes kcd will not let me modify to do what I want but I think the newer versions are better. I think the newer versions actually have turnings from Adams, corbels from Osborne, etc. that would be a nice feature. 9/1
I work for KCD Software. Re difficulties going from design to cut list... Current version 10 is excellent with this. KCD's free tech support works with you to make it work. 9/3
I think KCD is way to much money for what you get, what good is a program that can't draw all the cabinets you need. It seems the designers are always coming up with new ideas and you need to be able to draw and customize these pieces.

Help with Banner, Anyone?
Being a novice at computer tech stuff, as manager of this blog, I am unable to put up a nice banner a friend of mine designed for this blog. If you are a self-professed computer geek and can help me out, let me know.

I won't claim the tech wiz title, but what exactly is the issue and I'll see if I can help. You've got the banner displaying in one area. I presume you want it at the top of the page at its proper size. Is that what you need help with?
Also, I'd like to use a scaled down version of the banner on another site with a link to this page. You approve? - 4:59 PM

I'm linking to your site now through a copy of the banner, let me know if you want me to stop.

Not enshrining Artis Gilmore in the NBA Hall of Fame is a travesty. Individuals have gotten in on their singular NCAA, ABA or NBA careers. Mr. Gilmore was a star at each stage. And when one considers the "contributions" of recent enshrinee Dick Vitale versus Mr. Gilmore's (who actually played the game), it's appalling. Give Artis his due!!

Clarksville, TN – The Austin Peay State University softball team is ready to open the Ohio Valley Conference schedule with a weekend series against the Eastern Illinois Lady Panthers at Cheryl Holt Field.
The two teams have a double-header starting at noon Saturday, with the rubber game of the match on Sunday at noon.
APSU Women's Softball
Eastern Illinois (10-8) comes into the conference-opening weekend having won its last three games, giving up only one run during that stretch.
Offensively, the Lady Govs are led by sophomore Laurel Burroughs' .431 batting average, which includes seven doubles, three triples and two home runs.
Four other Austin Peay players, juniors Lauren de Castro (.388), Kayla Davidson (.378) and Amanda De Vries (.314) as well as freshman Mel Pavel (.349) are hitting more than .300.
The Panthers only own one player, Hannah Cole, hitting better than .300 at .412 on the season, with four doubles and three home runs.
In the circle, de Castro leads Austin Peay with a 5-3 win-loss mark, including an ERA of 2.33 and 30 strikeouts in 51 innings of work.
Senior Morgan Brewer has the other four Lady Govs wins and comes into the weekend with a 4-4 mark, with 20 strikeouts in 41.2 innings.
Hanna Mennenga leads the Panther pitchers with a 6-3 win-loss record, a 1.38 ERA and 104 strikeouts in 61 innings pitched.

And, most of all your products work to keep those pesky mosquitos out of my yard. I can now enjoy being outside!! Everyone at Mosquito Joe does a great job! Keep it up.
the communication.
Safe for me and our pets
Very effective! It was wonderful to be able to sit outside without worrying about bugs.
We like the fact they come out every three weeks to spray. My husband seems to be the one that attracts various biting insects. It has really helped to keep the mosquito population down in our backyard. We enjoy sitting out there and having friends over where they are not constantly swatting at something.
We saw immediate results in the decline of the mosquito population. They also were cooperative in not requiring a contract or monthly agreement and only came out when I called which is what I requested.
