In a special meeting Saturday, the council accepted the resignations of City Secretary Chris Boring and Police Chief Thomas Curd. Boring's last day on the job is Friday. Curd will step down Monday. Boring is leaving to accept a merchandising job in the San Marcos arca while C urd said he plans to go into private business, Mayor Jay P. Minikin said the council appointed Garden Ridge police officer Bob Savage, 49, to be interim police chief. "The council decided to appoint Bob Savage as interim chief of police for a probationary period of 90 days." Minikin said The mayor said the city will advertise for other possible applicants midway through the 90 day period. "It doesn't mean Officer Savage is exempt from ultimately being the council's decision to replace Chief Curd," Minikin said Savage has been an officer in the Garden Ridge Police Department for less than a year. He was recommended to become interim police chief by Curd Minikin said the city will immediately advertise for the city secretary position. Hic mayor said he hopes to have the advertisement out this week. The duties of the city secretary arc to supervise the city's computerized financial accounts. The qualifications for the city secretary position are five years experience in bookkeeping and accounting and two years in municipal government or extensive experience in related fields Family programming, profitability reason for channel changes By ABC LEVY Staff Writer Tele-Communications Inc. has rearranged its channel lineup for the New Braunfels service area as it had announced by New Year's Day, adding three new channels in an effort to provide more family programming and re-establish itself financially. The rearranging has caused some confusion for customers who must re-leam the channels and programs available. "Certainly there has been some confusion by customers about what changes were made and we are diligently mailing the changes out toPolice Beat the customers," said Dennis Moore, general manager for the New Braunfcls-Seguin arca. Moore said the holiday season delayed the mailings but that many customers are finding channels by the symbols in the lower, nght-hand comer of the screen Moore said the channels that were eliminated were: WGN, a Chicago network popular for its sports broadcasts; Intro TV, a sampler channel; and Sneak Preview The new channels include: Animal Planet, similar to the Discovery Channel with nature programming; Cartoon Network, a 24-hour animation channel; and Encore Plcx, a sampler of the eight Encore movie services. In addition, the Dmcovcry channel anti WTBS were added to the basic service TCI officials said the company is no longer offering WGN because it lost many of its sports coverage contracts, including the Chicago Bulls and Cubs. TCI officials said much of WCiN's programming will be included in other channels but that the move is to offer more family services. The realignment of channels will allow TCI to pursue new technologies such as digital compression that combines IO to 15 channels into one cable line, cable officials said. The shuffling and addition of channels arc part of an overhaul of the nation's largest cable company, which eliminated about 2,500 jobs last month in an effort to redeem *aggmg stock prices that fell by about 2K percent this past year The overhaul resulted in the appointment til Moore as the new general manager for this area.

Lawmakers open session with partisanship muted Associated Press AUSTIN (AP) — The Texas legislature's 1997 session is open and bipartisanship appears to be the word. Republicans and Democrats on Tuesday said the OOP's historic control of the Senate should make little difference in how Texas' laws are made "Frankly, some of my best friends are Republicans," suid Sen. Judith Zafifinm, I)-1 .aredo, who was elected Senate president pro-tern on a unanimous vote of both Democratic and Republican senators That largely ceremonial post technically the state's third-highest behind the governor and lieutenant governor each session is awarded to a veteran senator Zaffinm's nomination was seconded by several Republicans, and the Democrat said that reflected well on the Senate. "I am not worried (about partisanship) because every member of this wonderful body is committed, is dedicated, is serious and hard-working," she said. When the gavel fell at noon, Republicans held 16 of the Senate's ll seats It's the first time the CK JI* has controlled a Texas legislative chamber in 125 years. Democrats still hold a majority in the House Throughout the opening day, lawmakers and state leaders insisted that little has changed. Gov. George W. Bush, a Republican, called Democratic l.t. Gov. Bob Bullock "a great Texan" and "a great friend " And he congratulated House Speaker Pete Fancy, D-Halc Center, on his re-election as speaker. Ile faced no opposition from the chamber's 68 Republicans Fancy said while some House Republicans targeted scats held by incumbent Democrats, including his own, in last November's elections, partisanship will be set aside "We have proven we can have legitimate differences without becoming gridlocked," Fancy said. Senators voted 30-0 for new rules none of which stripper! Bullock of his powers to make committee appointments ami control the flow of legislation. Bullock, who has presided over the Senate since 1991, said he expected the bipartisanship lo continue. "These senators will rise above it There's only a small group of people, parly activists of both parties, (hat in my opinion would like to sec confrontation," he said "I do not believe I exam give a dam wlictlicr a person's a Democrat or a Republican or an independent.

From Page I The problems began Jan. 6 when an Arctic storm caused the power outages. On Jan. 7, 30,000 customers lost their powe As the week went on, an additional 10,000 customers were left in the dark. PEC serves 114,000 customers in its service area, which is the most of the Hill Country and parts of Central Texas. It was the worst power outage in PEC's 58-year history. The biggest concentration of power failures were in Williamson, Burnet and north Travis counties. Customer service was also affected in Hays, Kendall and Blanco counties. Cunningham said the problems to the system were caused by below freezing temperatures, which produced ice accumulation on power lines, poles and cross arms Because of the ice accumulation, there was considerable damage to the lines, poles and cross amis. lite ice caused tree limbs to fall onto power lines and disrupt power service "It was an unprecedented event created by unique circumstances because the temperature hovered below freezing," Cunningham said. "That is when the temperatures cause the rain lo come down on the trees ami stick ... ami build up on the poles, "lf the temperature would have been four to five degrees tooler we would have not had the problems of this magnitude.

Time: 7:30 p.m. B Canyon football First-place Cougars look to clinch playoff berth when Bastrop visits. Time: 7 p.m. Canyon faces biggest test against Bastrop DAVID INQRAM/Herald-Zeitung Senior Tanner Honk is playing linebacker and tight end for the Canyon Cougars. By David Rupkalvis Sports Editor For the second consecutive year, the Canyon football team has started 6-0, but the Cougars hope this season ends much differently than the last one did. Exactly one year ago, the Cougars started 6-0 before losing two of their final three games and missing out on the playoffs. The Cougars will have a chance to make amends beginning Friday when Bastrop visits. The Bears beat Canyon a year ago and went on to compete in the playoffs while Canyon watched from home. Bastrop comes into town beat up and limping after falling to Dripping Springs 10-3 last week. But poach Brad Wright said that could make the game even tougher. "They are backed into a comer," Wright said. "They are probably the most talented team in the district man for man. This is where we separate the men from the boys." To add to the challenge, Canyon may also be without its top offensive producer after Jeremy Molinet pulled a hip flexor late in the win over Lake Travis last week. Wright said whether Molinet would play or not would be a game time decision. But even if Molinet is forced to watch from the sidelines, Wright said his team could still win. Sophomore Jams Springfield would start in his place. "He's a young sophomore we pulled up from JV last week," Wright said. "He did a great job last week and we have a lot of confidence in him." Wright said Bastrop will line up and run the ball, trying to use their talent to over mn the Cougars. Even when they pass, they do so by emphasizing the mn. "Offensively, they're going to basically try to cram it down our throats and use play action to hit their best receiver," Wright said. "They're extremely confident. They're big where they need to be big and they're fast where they need to be fast." But despite the talent, the Bears are only 2- See COUGARS Page 6A r Nolan Bluntzer graduated from New Braunfels High School in 1998. He is the starting center for the California Golden Bears.

Marlins fight back, tie Yankees MIAMI (AP) — Roger Clemens walked off the mound a hero. Alex Gonzalez and the Florida Marlins danced off the field as winners. Gonzalez led off the bottom of the 12th inning with a home run and the Marlins survived yet another late Yankees' jolt, beating New York 4-3 Wednesday night to even the World Series at two games each. After both teams saluted WO GLD pyi Wednesday'a Gama Florida 4. New York 3 Today's Gams New York at Florida, 7 24 p rn FOX Qemens in what might have been his final appearance, pinch-hitter Ruben Sierra saved the Yankees with a two-out, two-mn triple in the ninth that tied it at 3. It turned out the drama was just beginning once the clock passed midnight. And at 12:28 a.m., the slumping Gonzalez hit a low line drive off Jeff Weaver that barely cleared the left-field wall for the win. Both teams threatened in extra innings, with Marlins reliever Braden Looper escaping a bases-loaded, one-out jam in the 11 th and posting the victory. The Yankees had won seven straight extra-inning games in the Series since . 1964. The previous two were among the most stirring in their storied history, set up when Tino Martinez and Scott Brosius hit two-out, two-mn homers in the bottom of the ninth on consecutive nights against Arizona's Byung-Hyun Kim in 2001. Dreaming about coming home Bluntzer stars at Cal, but misses New Braunfels By David Rupkalvis Sports Editor When he graduated from New Braunfels High School in 1999, Nolan Bluntzer had spent his entire life in the city. So when the University of California offered him a scholarship, he jumped at the chance to move across the country. After five fun, but often trying, years with the Golden Bears, Bluntzer is the starting center for the football team and in his career he has Nolan Bluntzer played alongside and against some of the best college football players in the nation. "I was just ready to get away, and the other part was, its 70 degrees here all the time," Bluntzer said. "Also, going to Cal, the educadon was great." As a teen, Bluntzer said he had his friends always complained about his hometown, but after traveling and seeing other parts of the country, he now dreams of the chances he gets to come home. * "When you're 18 and you lived here your whole life, you want to get away to grow up," Bluntzer said. "I had to move away to see how great New Braunfels is. There's so much to do there. When you get out and see other areas, you realize how great New Braunfels is." Bluntzer first tasted success on the football field as a Unicom and as he looks back, he said his athletic highlight came in 1997 when New Braunfels advanced to the semifinals of the state tournament. "It was an incredible experience," Bluntzer said. "I think we had six games we won in the last seconds. It was neat to see how proud New Braunfels was of us. Out of all my football experiences, that would be No. I.

As a redshift sophomore, he came down with mononucleosis and missed several games and last year, he suffered a dislocated shoulder. The myriad of injuries almost made Bluntzer to quit football, but his desire to play was too much. "I decided to give it one more shot," he said.

So while the Colts and Titans are vying for the division lead, the Texans are mired at 2-4 and prohibitive underdogs at Indianapolis Sunday. "It's execution," tight end Billy Miller said Wednesday. "Something's happening when we get down there. I don't know if we're pressing, I don't know what it is. But we've got to find out this week because it's definitely a problem." Houston's 19-14 loss at home last Sunday to the New York Jets was a microcosm of the offensive impotence all season. The Texans mounted two long first-quarter drives and capped each with a touchdown, then went on to easily outgain New York. The Texans' task now is to mix in a little paydirt with all their land acquisition. That means eliminating ill-timed penalties and improving their 31 percent conversion rate on third downs. "I think the yardage comes from having great individual players on this team and we can pull it together on a couple of plays and make some nice drives, but it takes a team effort when you get down in the red zone or in critical situations like third-down plays," quarterback David Carr said. "That's something we're still lacking. We haven't matured enough to get the third down or the touchdown, or instead of getting seven (points) getting three, or maybe getting knocked out of field goal range." Throw in a defense whose best game in the points-against column is 19 (last Sunday) and an offense that's third from the bottom in the AFC at 16.7 points per game, and it's clear why the second-year Texans have a 2-4 record.

Newman finished the two-mile course in 12:28. Ashley Carter placed eighth in 12:41 and Michelle Stretz was 12th in 12:59.

On the Santa Maria with Christopher Columbus
Short Story by: madeyelexi
Status: Finished
Genre: Historical Fiction
May 6th, 1492
Dear Journal,
I don't have a good feeling about Christopher Columbus's plan. He wants to travel west! I think that he wants to trick me and my ship mates in to tumbling off the edge of the world. He says that we are going to reach India by sailing west. He says it will be a faster rout than going east to trade. I also want to reach India because they have silk and jewels that we don't have in Italy. Christopher asked every queen and king he can for money for the voyage. Christopher, my ship mates, and I are trading to earn money too. I am doing this because if Christopher succeeds I will earn money and food my mother needs to survive. I hope my mother is going to be ok, since she has cancer and all. I still can't believe that I'm going on a trip with the son of a wool weaver. Columbus says the trip is going to be 2,400 miles long.
Today was an exciting day, Queen Isabella and King Ferdinand from Spain gave Columbus the money for the trip. They also gave him three ships, the Santa Maria, the Nina, and the Pinta. The biggest one is the Santa Maria. I'm going to sail on that one with Columbus. The Nina is slightly bigger than the Pinta. The captain will be Martin Alzono Pinzon. His brother, Vicente Yanez Pinzon will be the captain of the Pinta, the smallest ship. All together 104 people are coming on the voyage. Columbus chose me as co. captain. I accepted because it will give more money to my mother. On the ships we will have live pigs, salted meat, wine, water, and chickens. Columbus hopes to find spices like cinnamon and nutmeg in India. Those spices are really rare. We will start sailing on September 6th 1942. I hope my mother won't be worried that I might fall off the edge. Sergio was my roommate and best friend. He still is now.

August 3rd, 1492
Dear Journal,
We are going to sail today. We just finished packing the supplies. I just found out that there aren't any beds! The Santa Maria is ready to sail. My mother gave me a necklace with a glossy locket on it. It sparkles in the sunny morning. In the locket there is a family picture with all my sisters, brothers, and parents. Now that I have found a safe place for my journal, I can now say that I am a girl in a boy disguise. Only men are allowed on the trip. For lunch we had bread from the bakery across the road from the docks. The bread was fresh and it smelled like a warm and fresh croissant before a day of hard work. We also had meat from the butcher's store next to the bakery. After lunch I explored the ship. It has white sails with light brown cedar wood poles. You can smell the sea breeze. Seagulls squawked loudly up in the clear sky. The sun is bright yellow. I should stop looking at it. The redwood floor boards creak under my feet. It is not a bad creek, like the boat would break. It was a nice creak, like it was telling me to keep going. Columbus is kind, but he has bad ideas in my opinion. We start sailing at 2:00 O'clock. The sun is brightly illuminated. Everything is perfect, almost. I already miss my family. Everyone thinks I'm a boy. Sergio acts like he wants to be something more…
Abi V. Rocci
August 17th, 1492
Dear Journal,
It's been two weeks since we left off. I have changed my mind about Columbus. He is a good captain; well he's kind of dreamy. I can't believe I just wrote that! I can't erase it! Well it is kind of true. I hope my family is ok. There is a storm coming. I hope it doesn't hit us. We are running out of food. Someone snuck in and stole some food because some was missing that we haven't eaten. Columbus and I are trying to catch them, but we tested everyone on the ship and no one has stolen the food. We think the stealer is from one of the other ships. I will speak to the other captains about this as soon as I can. The water is low. We have more barrels of water, but we don't want to risk losing all our water before we reach land. The crew is getting angry and worried; I think they want to murder Columbus. I won't let them do that though. I believe he knows what he is doing.

Dear Journal,
The storm hit yesterday. It was horrible. We saw a few leaves in the water, which is a good sign. The wind is still strong today. The waves crash on the sides of the boats. When I went out from the cabin for lunch I could hear the wind howling. The sails and flags are thrashing wildly. Columbus sailed us through the storm like a pro. He really is one though. I can barely smell the food any more, there is so little. The live pigs are all dead and eaten. The water is stale and the wine is strong. There is barely any more of the chickens; I almost forgot their juicy meat, and their mouthwatering smell. The captains are going to keep a look out for us about the thief. We suspect the thief is from the Pinta. The Nina got some food stolen too. A boy named Xavi on the Pinta looks guilty. He looks better fed out of every one else on the Pinta.
Everyone knows my name as Rami. I should have had a different boy look; I don't look very handsome like Columbus. I don't know whether I should tell Columbus that I'm a girl. Would he be mad at me or would he like me more (he might already like me) because I was brave enough to do this? I think I will tell him when we sight land so then if he throws me over board I can swim to Italy. I hope he won't be mad at me for lying. I hope my mother's ok. I really miss her, even if I look at her picture every day. I made Columbus pay early so the doctor can take care of my mother while I am away. If only there was a way I could contact her. Some of the men on the boat are trying to catch fish, but the only caught enough for five to ten people. I hope the Pinta doesn't break down again (it broke down in the beginning of the voyage so we had to stop at the Canary Islands). I hope the winds calm down.

Dear Journal,
Today, we spotted land. You know what that means… I told Columbus. Here's what I did, I ask Columbus to come with me to the kitchens after lunch were we would be alone. I took off my hat and bandana. He almost screamed. This is what he said, "Well, this is a surprise. I can tell everyone if you don't want to." I told him not to. He told me that he wouldn't. Then suddenly he said that I was the most gorgeous girl he has ever seen. This is the best day of my life. I am now pretty sure he likes me! Columbus is not married I think, but everyone says he is because they don't like him much. The land looks like an island, not like Italy. I don't want to argue with Columbus in case he stops liking me. The land looks lush green. The beaches are sandier than the ones back in Italy. The sky is clearer than it has ever been on the sea. Flies buzz around my head but I don't mind because I've haven't seen any for days. I can hear animals screeching. Obviously not India, I don't know why Columbus can't see that. I can smell the island air, a relief from all the sea air. It smells fresh compared to the sea. The breeze is a blanket on top of me. It is as comfortable as hot chocolate after a winter day working outside. The crew calmed down because we spotted land. They don't want to kill Columbus any more. I wonder if there are any people on it. If there is I hope they are kind. We don't want to get ourselves killed. We put op our flag, Spain's flag. We also sent signs to tell the people on the island (if there is any) that we come in peace. We shall dock at the island tomorrow. Sergio sent me a bouquet of flowers; he doesn't realize that I love Columbus.

Dear Journal,
Today we dock on the shore of the island. Since I am writing this entry, it means I am still alive, and so is Columbus. The island has rocky beaches and clear water. The trees are healthy and they are a perfect shade of green. I never knew India would be this beautiful. On the island the Indians (that's what Columbus calls them) are very kind. They call the island Guanahani. The people call themselves, the Taino people. The Indians are different than us. The expressions on their faces show that they think we are different. They are much kinder than I thought they would be. I believe Columbus is right about the world being round. The crew is very happy (and I am too) to be finally well fed and to have a bed. The crew is very relieved that there weren't any monsters (the crew believed there would be). We didn't do much today because after eating we went straight to bed.
Abi V. Rocci
October 14th, 1492
Dear Journal,
Today was very exciting. We left the island with renewed supplies and headed for Japan. Columbus claimed the island for Spain a few days ago. He named the island San Salvador. We brought six Indians with us. He left 39 men behind to create a city. Now that is over with we can get to the horrible part. Columbus took me deep in to me trees and said… He said he was already married. Sergio, the boy who volunteered for co-captain with me (so he is co-co-captain) came running in to the room and cried because he was so sad for me. Sergio and I are best friends. I think that Sergio would off felt out of place because he was Columbus's best friend to. Sergio new from the start that I was a girl. We sleep next to each other. He is so handsome now; I never thought I would actually think of loving him. My mother is waiting for me. I wish I could tell her all the news. I hope she is ok.
From, Abi V. Rocci
January, 16th 1493
Dear Journal,
Sergio is super nice. I know we are going to be a perfect couple. This is what happened: it was sunset, and we just walked off the boat holding hands. It was the best day of my life. Love was in the air. Sergio kneeled down on one knee. His green eyes glistened in the sunset. His auburn hair waved in the light breeze. He then asked me the most glorious question. "Will you marry me" he asked. I said "yes". A silver ring with a diamond, it slipped straight on my finger. I ripped of my bandana. Everyone gasped. Everything is great. Sergio is living with my mother and I. He paid her medical bill. He is so sweet. We are now Sergio and Abi Gavanchi. Columbus invited both of us to his next voyage to the Indies. I always knew there was something between us.

Federated Identity Manager (FIM)
Definition - What does Federated Identity Manager (FIM) mean?
Federated Identity Manager (FIM) is a system that assists in managing identities and providing access to resources across different security domains and/or companies.
The advantage of FIM is that an organization is not required to maintain a large database of user credentials for different services and subsystems. An organization maintains only the identity corresponding to its members and may accept credentials from other member organizations under FIM jurisdiction.
Techopedia explains Federated Identity Manager (FIM)
An identity is a set of physical and behavioral traits used to distinguish users. Each organization subsystem user self-authenticates to access specific resources and services. Rather than using separate authentication processes for each subsystem, FIM facilitates one user identity for use across multiple systems, which provides resource access. This unique user identity is known as a Federated Identity.
The FIM and user function as follows:
- User affiliates with the FIM component.
- User requests a resource from the FIM component.
- User is authenticated at the home organization via username/password and a message that indicated successful authentication.
- This message is transmitted to other organization members.
- Based on user role, name or other attributes, access to the requested resource set is granted.

Rising numbers of off-licences on estates are making it harder for police to control residential areas, the Scotland Yard Commissioner warned yesterday.
Bernard Hogan-Howe said holding a licence to sell alcohol was a privilege and those who abused that should lose their powers.
His warning came after a study for Alcohol Concern last year linked the number of off-licence premises in an area to the number of under-age drinkers admitted to hospital for alcohol-related problems.
Mr Hogan-Howe said: "Not so much in the night-time economy – in the city centre and the town centres we've got – but in the estates, the multiplication of off-licences over the years has led to less control.... We want to keep it a safe environment."
Speaking to the first meeting of the London Mayor's Office for Policing and Crime's "challenge board", Mr Hogan-Howe said: "If you have many licences where lots of people wander from pub to pub, they congregate outside, that can become a problem."

text: TORONTO, Jan. 17, 2013 /CNW/ - Following an expedited hearing held on January 7, 2013, in Toronto, a Hearing Panel of the Investment Industry Regulatory Organization of Canada (IIROC) granted the orders sought by IIROC staff against Glenn Allan Prior. The Order granted was based upon certain forgeries and the related criminal conviction against Mr. Prior. In particular, Mr. Prior forged his sister's and brother's signatures on guarantees for his personal investment account. In doing so, he made their capital available to backstop his trading. Unbeknownst to them, he incurred significant trading losses of over $700,000, which would have exhausted nearly all of their capital had the guarantees been enforced. Ultimately, Mr. Prior's dealer, RBC Dominion Securities Inc. ("RBC DS"), declined to enforce the guarantees and instead took on Mr. Prior's trading debt. As such, Mr. Prior's forgeries resulted in a significant fraud on RBC DS. For further details, a copy of IIROC staff's Notice of Application can be found at: http://docs.iiroc.ca/DisplayDocument.aspx?DocumentID=4D11C65674724F8B8B92DBC2734E83D7&Language=en At the hearing, IIROC staff sought orders providing that Mr. Prior's rights and privileges of approval for registration in any capacity or category with IIROC are permanently terminated and that he pay $25,000 in costs of the investigation and hearing. The panel made an Order granting all of the requested relief. A copy of the Hearing Panel's Order dated January 7, 2013, can be found at: http://docs.iiroc.ca/DisplayDocument.aspx?DocumentID=878A77D2ACCD4AAC9BCC60F3F81AC68B&Language=en.

If you play with a lower sensitivity and use a large portion of the sticks range you will run into this spot.

Think again. Most lenders feel secure lending to a company employee. They have to do little more than get a reference from the company, look at the employee's salary, and then multiply it to tell them how much they can lend to that person.
They tend to treat the self-employed rather differently. The Halifax is typical. A spokeswoman says that it would normally require three years' sets of audited accounts from a self-employed person. That, of course, immediately excludes the entrepreneur whose business is only 18 months old.
Failing that, the Halifax will try to make an assessment based on other evidence, especially if the applicant is an existing borrower or saver. But building societies and banks still bear the scars of their easy-going lending in the mid-Eighties. They remember the self-employed borrowers they had then, some of whom went out of business and defaulted in the recession of the late Eighties. It has made them wary of lending to people running their own businesses.
In fact, even if you have three years of accounts, your problems do not necessarily stop there. An approach to a high-street lender can be complicated by the form of those accounts.
Michael Bell, of the Kings Lynn accountants Wheeler & Co, cites an example in which, for tax purposes, a business proprietor paid himself a very small salary - but took a large amount out of the business in the form of dividends. A building society he approached refused to consider anything but the salary as long-term, continuing income, and he was refused a mortgage.
But, as Mr Bell points out: "You cannot have one set of accounts for the Revenue and another for the mortgage lender." He says that the staff at building society branches are seldom qualified to make a judgement on the financial affairs of the self-employed. "Looking at a P60 and a current payslip provided by an employee's company is far simpler for them to assess. I feel sure clients of mine have been refused a mortgage simply because the building society did not understand the accounts," he adds.
The Halifax insists that this should not be the case. It says it employs specialist backroom staff at its branches, who are trained to assess mortgage applications. But Mr Bell feels that a self-employed person should in any case consider approaching a lender through their accountant. "An application needs presenting in the right way," he says. "An accountant can explain exactly what is income and what isn't."
There is, however, another way round the problem of applying for a mortgage. Brian Skeet, an independent financial adviser at Cityview Financial Services, says that a few mortgage companies are beginning to specialise in lending to the self-employed. They are not well known to the public, however, and you will not find them on the high street. One is UCB Home Loans, a subsidiary of the Nationwide. The managing director, Mike Lazenby, says that UCB does not rely solely on accounts: "What you see on the balance sheet is not necessarily what is happening in the business. Accounts are often drawn up to appease the Inland Revenue, not to impress the bank manager," he says.
Instead, UCB offers what it calls a "bespoke" service to the self-employed. Its specialists spend time analysing a self-employed person's business, including their forecasts, their cash flows and their strengths as managers. Analysis of the accounts comes right at the end of that process. As Mr Lazenby says, a set of accounts can tell you only what the business did last year or the year before; it is no guide to the future.
There is, however, a price to pay, and that comes in the form of a mortgage interest rate 0.5-1.0 per cent higher than the standard variable rate. This means, of course, that if you think you match the criteria of the high-street lenders, you should consider using them.
In the past, the self-employed have also tended to produce accounts showing artificially high business expenses, and correspondingly lower profits.
This is because the Inland Revenue used to give taxpayers some latitude in estimating business expenses such as car mileage and a spouse's salary. Mortgage lenders who failed to examine the accounts closely would not detect that this failed to show a real picture of the business's income.
Under self-assessment that at least should be less of a problem, because the Revenue is going to demand detailed logs of regular business expenditure. Although self-assessment is in its early stages, the belief among accountants is that accounts presented to the Revenue are likely to be more realistic than in the past. Whether they are any better understood by the building societies is an entirely different matter

A settlement of up to £3bn is expected this week in Britain's biggest-ever personal injury case, compensating thousands of miners who suffer from chest diseases after years in the pits.
Lawyers from Hugh James, Irwin Mitchell and Thompsons for the miners, and Nabarro Nathanson and the Department of Trade and Industry's legal department for the Government, are working round the clock to hammer out the details.
Peter Evans of Hugh James says there are some minor points outstanding but, after 10 years, "it will substantially be done".
Both this Government and – particularly – the previous administration, dragged their feet, he says, but the recent mood in negotiations has been co-operative.
The settlement, thought to be about £18,000 per miner, will make provision for up to 100,000 miners, around 65,000 of whom are already part of the claim.
One of the points still to be agreed is whether British Coal will compensate miners who worked prior to 1954, when the statute of limitations changed to three years from the knowledge of an injury rather than the date of the injury itself.
The case, led by Justice Turner under the Woolf rules, has involved the use of a new computer programme commissioned by Hugh James, which worked out compensation via a series of formulas.
The amount of damage to a miner's respiratory system was tested by the man breathing into a peak flow meter, and then calculated with variables such as his age, time underground and his smoking history, to produce a figures for compensation.
"We turned a medical prognosis into a mathematical model," Evans says. "I'm sure this kind of thing will be used in other cases and become more common."

I've found a lot of decent backpacking clothing at thrift stores.
Athletic shorts, cotton or polycotton hot weather dress shirts, polyester t-shirts, cheap windbreakers/windshirts (just cut out the lining), wool sweaters, coated (non breathable) rain jackets, and more.
Does anyone else shop around at thrift stores?Jun 13, 2013 at 11:41 am #1996273
Pete StaehlingBPL Member
Yes I have and have used some thrift store stuff for bicycle touring and backpacking. Nothing in my current rotation is from a thrift store though.
While not from a thrift store, I do use a kayaking sweater on almost every trip, that was free (found floating in a river).Jun 13, 2013 at 11:52 am #1996286

Yep, a lot of my clothes are from thrift stores. Selection varies though. Sometimes I'll go months without finding anything, and then have a big score. To actually find the good stuff you have to commit to checking regularly.Jun 13, 2013 at 11:58 am #1996295

The dirty little secret about outdoor clothing?
If you shop at thrift stores, outlet shops and ONLY buy stuff on sale … You can spend a quarter of what someone buying name brand clothing spends
And still get "good" brands
Spending $$$$$$ on commoditized outdoor brand clothing is likely the single biggest money waster
They wont make you go any harder or longer at the level most of us are at ;)Jun 13, 2013 at 12:20 pm #1996303

@davidinkenaiLocale: North Woods. Far North.
I've found name-brand outdoors wear in thrift stores, but more commonly in kid sizes. I've got kids, so that's great, but small women could also leverage that angle. In adult clothing, I've occasionally found good indoor gear, but I do better shopping for dress clothes. Often dry cleaners and laundries will donate unclaimed clothing so I look for the claim-check number stapled onto the shirt or pants. It was (1) good enough for someone to pay to have it cleaned, (2) the previous owner could afford professional cleaning so often it is an upper-end label, and (3) it was cleaned since it was last worn.
As the OP implied, some non-outdoors clothing works well. To give an incongruous example: John Travolte's polyester suit from Saturday Night Fever is better outdoor wear than a cotton shirt with Levi jeans. It keeps you warm even if wet and it dries pretty quickly.
Thrift stores are also a cheap source of fabric and insulation. Down jackets and quilts can be harvested for fill. A complete jacket will be cheaper than the YKK zipper you want to scavenge from it. And, for myself, it is less intimidating to modify an existing piece of clothing than to start with a pattern and 2 yards of fabric. That might be taking in the sides to reduce weight and draft. Or adding a hood (perhaps cut from another garment), or adding pockets exactly where and in the style that you want.Jun 13, 2013 at 12:21 pm #1996304

A partial list of my thrift store finds:
9 pairs of convertible pants (6 for myself, 3 for my sons) including 3 pairs of Columbia, 2 pairs of Ex-Officio. All in "like new" condition. Prices from $2 to $7
Several long and short sleeve athletic shirts
1 pair crocs
1 Stainless Klean Kanteen (for my truck and car camping)
3 fleece jackets (2-Columbia, 1- REI)
Various fleece caps and gloves
1 Spotting Scope
1 set ski poles. My 11 yr old broke his trekking poles on the JMT. We did 2 rest days in Mammoth and the cheapest set of trekking poles in town was about $50. We wandered into the thrift store there and found a light set of Scott aluminum ski poles his size for $10. Plus, he wasn't going to be able to break these. He still uses them almost daily in the local mountains.
1 Two liter Platypus (25 cents, found it when I wandered into a thrift store while on vacation in Colville, Washington).
1 three cup aluminum pot with handle, weighs 1.8 oz (after I cut the handle to about 3"), 2.1 oz with MYOG lid. Its now my standard pot when I want more than just a mug.
1 Pot cozy. It was an thin neoprene sleeve for a thermos type bottle, perfectly fit a small IMUSA aluminum mug.
I could keep going, these are just some of my better deals found. I check the local thrift stores about once a week. Unfortunately, the larger thrift store chains like Goodwill and Salvation Army are getting expensive, not much cheaper than new on some things I've found and often twice the price of the same things at other local thrift stores. They do good work and I support them for that, I just wish they'd keep their prices a bit lower.Jun 13, 2013 at 1:08 pm #1996331
Kate MagillBPL Member
Where I live (college town), the local thrift stores are more expensive than Salvo or Goodwill. On the flipside of that coin, the amount of like-new TNF/Pata/etc in secondhand shops here is staggering.
And, you can almost always find nice wool sweaters and lightweight wool gabardine pants, perfect for looking real classy on fall hikes.Jun 13, 2013 at 2:26 pm #1996359

@paulmagsLocale: Front Range Zoo
The thrift store has mainly provided me with fleeces, wind jacket/pants and long sleeve dress shirts (65/35 poly-cotton) for three season hiking.
My overall best find in a thriftier was a Patagucci fleece jacket that retailed, at the time, for $120. It cost $4 (in 2000). Looked brand spanking new.
I was in Ft. Collins,CO at the time and I suspect a local CSU student just dumped it as it was just after Xmas break when I found it at Goodwill.Jun 13, 2013 at 4:54 pm #1996401

I am thrift store junky. My previous best score had been for a pair of REI branded Komperdell carbon trekking poles for $14. Then, two weeks ago, I picked up a brand spanking new pair of ArcTeryx Rampart pants in my size for $12. I also have 2 pairs of nice Patagonia hiking pants and all of my capilene curtesy of Goodwill. They also recently had new 2.8 liter soft sided water carriers for under $2.00 that perfectly match up with the Sawyer Squeeze filter. I bought 4. I get almost all of my gear from Goodwill, Craigslist, Ebay and the Gear Swap Forum. My new gear comes from cottage companies or REI when I am forced to pay retail.Jun 13, 2013 at 7:27 pm #1996453

@hikerduaneLocale: Extreme northern Sierra Nevada
I threw out a UnderArmor shirt that fit poorly, so now I know that brand won't work for me. Cost at the Goodwill store, sold as a T-shirt, $1.75. A good money donation to them. I've found a few nice shirts to wear to work and one outdoor type shirt to wear down the road, name brand.

Vintage aluminium popcorn kettle with wire-bail lid clamps. Fricken' rad for five bucks. Keeps squirrels out of my foodstuffs and toiletries, yet not as annoying as a bear canister. Can cook in it and use the lid as a plate.Jun 14, 2013 at 4:09 am #1996523

Like new, last weekend. Size Large. 10$!!!
The student that is working with me this summer has been looking for backpacking gear so I gave it to him as my plan to set him up with a nice kit. Not that I am rich…:) but he is such a great helper whose interest has given me renewed energy. In return I get to talk his ears off about backpacking.Jul 11, 2014 at 9:29 am #2118967

@gordongLocale: Front Range, CO
Not UL backpacking, but I found a huge 3 room Coleman family tent for $13. It has one broken pole which cost something like $6 to fix.
I got my daughter's first pack from there as well. $7?
Since then she has sewn on a sternum strap and new, padded waist belt. She is bad a$$ with a sewing machine. We recent found her a new pack from an REI garage sale that was a steal as well.Jul 11, 2014 at 9:39 am #2118968

Hey, thanks Doug I.! Someone's gotta donate that gear!
I'm a thrift-store junkie, most of my apparel (hiking as well as regular) comes from Goodwill and the Humane Society store. (I like to think it justifies the money I shell out for footwear.) As another poster states, you have to check in regularly, but by doing that, I've scored: Patagonia pants, shorts and tops, about 5-6 Mountain Hardwear Tshirts, a long-sleeved Icebreaker base layer top, Ex-Officio convertible pants and hats, and I've scored so many Columbia jackets and lined pants that I simply had to stop and donate them to a church free clothing program. And I shouldn't forget to mention the less high-end brands, such as LL Bean, Eddie Bauer and Land's End.Jul 11, 2014 at 10:37 am #2118982

I check once in a while, but my local consignment-slash-new outdoors store jacked up all their consignment prices, and the same stuff sits on the wall week after week after week.
There are some nice quirks around that place… every sleeping bag is $50. Some are crap, some are nice…
I should hit the thrift store in town and see what I can find!Jul 12, 2014 at 8:50 pm #2119288

So I was at the thrift store today thinking about this thread. I actually got a pair of White Sierra convertible pants and a Alpine Designs fleece for $12. Both items I don't need but for the price I will throw them in the rotation. What I wanted, but was too small for me, was these:Jul 15, 2014 at 11:32 am #2119924

Thrift stores, and even antique stores, sometimes have decent aluminum cooking gear of various sorts. Not SUL titanium or anything, but for the price it's usually hard to beat.
