Island Yum-Yum Chicken
Recipe by ms.susan
I spent a number of years working as a counselor in refugee shelters. One of the cooks gave me this recipe. It's delicious and even though there is a long list of ingredients, you will probably have most on hand! This is savory comfort food with a bit of a twist!
Top Review by AB_Fan
This is a good recipe - very salty but plenty flavorful. I did not like the gravy, though, so I would not serve it with the chicken next time. I also added 1/4 cup olive oil to the marinade mixture because I did not think 2 Tbsp soy sauce was enough liquid to marinate the 2 lbs of chicken pieces. Overall, a good dish. Marinating the chicken imparts good flavor and keeps the chicken moist through baking. Thanks for posting! Made for Zingo! ZWT3.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 2 lbs chicken pieces
- 1⁄2 cup vinegar or 1⁄2 cup lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- 1⁄2 teaspoon celery salt
- 1⁄2 teaspoon powdered clove
- 1⁄2 teaspoon pepper
- 1⁄2 teaspoon rosemary
- 2 eggs (beaten)
- 1 1⁄2 cups breadcrumbs
- 1⁄4 teaspoon paprika
- 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄4 teaspoon pepper
- 1 onion
- 1 green pepper (sliced)
- 1 tablespoon oil
- 2 tablespoons breadcrumbs
- 1 tablespoon vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1⁄2 cup chicken stock or 1⁄2 cup water
Directions See How It's Made
- Prepare chicken, wash and rinse with lemon or vinegar.
- Season with soy sauce and garlic, paprika, oregano, celery salt, cloves, pepper, and rosemary.
- Marinade for 2 to 6 hours.
- Coat chicken in beaten egg and dredge in breadcrumbs.
- Place chicken on greased baking sheet.
- Put a speck of butter or margarine on each piece of chicken.
- Bake at 350°F for an hour or until juices run clear.
- When chicken is done, prepare the gravy.
- Heat 1 tbsp of cooking oil.
- Sauté onion and peppers.
- Add drippings from chicken.
- Stir in 2 tbsp of breadcrumbs, vinegar, sugar, salt, pepper and stock or water.
- Serve baked chicken with gravy on top.
- This is a great meal with some roasted potatoes and a fresh green salad.

Sales Training: Negotiating
Negotiation is your opportunity to demonstrate your commitment (and your company's) to a long-term relationship with your client, as well as to maximizing value for both parties.
Sales negotiation can be a formal event at a specific time or date, or it can be an ongoing theme at different points in the sales process. Negotiation goes beyond price and includes the entire value proposition.
You should seek a mutually beneficial relationship with your prospects and customers rather than something that benefits only you or them. The negotiation guide below provides a quick overview for negotiations with a prospect or customer.
Before negotiating begins:
- Avoid negotiating unless you've had an opportunity to fully present your value proposition
- Consider the objections raised up to this point in the sales process and identify what your prospect's or customer's hot buttons (main points of interest) may be based on these objections
- Be prepared to illustrate how your offering will be used by them and quantify the value they'll get
- Be certain you're working with a person who has the authority to negotiate and make decisions
- Be confident in the value your product or service will return
- Be prepared to be patient, which can also build trust; remember that patience is a key weapon in the "hunter's arsenal"
- Be prepared to work toward a solution that works for everyone
- Know in advance at what point the agreement is no longer beneficial to you and your company and be prepared to walk away at that point
During negotiation
- Use open-ended questions to confirm your understanding of their needs
- State your understanding of how the prospect or customer will benefit from your product or service – confirm this is accurate by asking
- Listen, and well
- Don't rush to fill pauses – be comfortable with moments of silence
- Be prepared to change the value proposition to support price concessions; support your price integrity by adjusting the overall value
- Try to identify agreement on small items to help develop positive momentum – summarize these agreements periodically
After the negotiation
If agreement is reached…
- Summarize verbally and/or in writing the agreement for all appropriate parties
- Thank the customer/prospect for their time and reinforce the purchase decision
- For your next negotiation, review the points that seemed to help move the negotiation process forward – study them, know them, use them
If no agreement is reached…
- Sincerely thank the prospect/customer for their time and commitment to the process
- Avoid appearing/sounded annoyed or disappointed; keep in mind that there will be other clients to keep you busy
- Give the prospect/customer an "out" or an opening for them to come back to you and your company in the future
- For your next negotiation, review the points that seemed to prevent the negotiation process from moving forward – study them, know them, use them

Due to limited remote triage monitoring capabilities, combat medics cannot currently distinguish bleeding soldiers from those engaged in combat unless they have physical access to them. PURPOSE: To test the hypothesis that low-level physiological signals can be used to develop a machine-learning algorithm for tracking changes in central blood volume that will subsequently distinguish central hypovolemia from physical activity. METHODS: 24 subjects underwent central hypovolemia via lower body negative pressure (LBNP), and a supine-cycle exercise protocol. Exercise workloads were determined by matching heart rate (HR) responses from each LBNP level. HR and stroke volume (SV) were measured via Finometer. ECG, heat flux, skin temperature, galvanic skin response, and 2-axis acceleration were obtained from an armband (SenseWear® Pro2) and used to develop a machine-learning algorithm to predict changes in SV as an index of central blood volume under both conditions. The algorithm SV was retrospectively compared against Finometer SV. A model was developed to determine if unknown data points could be correctly classified into these two conditions using leave-one-out cross validation. RESULTS: Algorithm versus Finometer SV values were strongly correlated for LBNP in individual subjects (mean r=0.92; range 0.75-0.98), but only moderately correlated for exercise (mean r=0.50; range -0.23-0.87). From the first level of LBNP/exercise, the machine learning algorithm was able to distinguish between LBNP and exercise with high accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity (all ≥90%). CONCLUSIONS: A machine-learning algorithm developed from low-level physiological signals could reliably distinguish central hypovolemia from exercise, indicating that this device could provide battlefield remote triage capabilities.

Fair Wages: Fair or Not?
By: Amare'on
The Social Justice topic that I chose was Fair Wages. I chose this topic because I thought it would be hard to do and I wanted a challenge. Also, I see a lot of homeless people on the streets of Houston on my way to and from school. I believe that this may have to do with minimum wage being so low and the amount not being enough money to support themselves, let alone a family.
Just A Quick Dictionary!
- Annual Taxes-Taxes paid once every year
- Average-Of the usual or ordinary standard, level, or quantity
- Barely-Only just; almost not
- Credit-Publicly acknowledge someone as a participant in the production of (something published or broadcast)
- Example-Be illustrated or exemplified
- Income Taxes-Tax levied by a government directly on income, especially an annual tax on personal income
- Living Wage-A wage that is high enough to maintain a normal standard of living
- Minimum Wage-The lowest wage permitted by law or by a special agreement (such as one with a labor union)
- Poverty Wage-Alevel of personal or family income below which one is classified as poor according to governmental standard
- Social Justice- Justice in terms of the distribution of wealth, opportunities, and privileges within a society
Living, Poverty, and Minimum Wages
Living Wage!
(Living Wage-A wage that is high enough to maintain a normal standard of living)
For two adults and two children, the average cost of living before Income Taxes is $38,897.
If someone receives a Living Wage, they would earn $35,904 with one person working. With two people working, they would earn...$71,808. So, with that they can afford more with two people earning a Living Wage! In other words, they will make higher than the minimum amount of money needed to live comfortably and support a good life, with a family of two adults and two children. (Keep in mind, annual income taxes are around $4,181).
For example, Jackson has a household of four people, which consists of himself, his wife Zoey, and their two children, Jacob and Mia. At first, Jackson was the only person working in the household and he was on a Living Wage. He was making $18.70 a hour, which is $748 a week, $2,992 a month, and $35,904 a year. This may seem like a decent wage, however, when you add income taxes, Jackson would have to make a total of $38,897 to survive, which is clearly above what he is currently making. He would not have enough money unless his wife gets at least a minimum wage job.
The Math Side of Things!
For two adults and two children...
With one person working on a Living Wage, they would make $18.70 per hour multiplied by 40 hours of work per week. This is because on Average, a person works 5 days a week, and about 8 hours a day. $18.70 x 40 = $748. Next, you multiply that product by 4, because on Average there are about 4 weeks in a month. That makes $2,992. Next, multiply 12 because there is 12 months in one year.That equals $35,904, with one person working on a Living Wage. That's not enough money if you have to pay Income Taxes, or if only one person is working. This includes if your are working on a Living Wage.
Poverty Wage
(Poverty Wage-A level of personal or family income below which one is classified as poor according to governmental standard)
For two adults and two children, the average cost of living before Income Taxes is $38,897.
With the Poverty Wage, you make $10.60 an hour. $10.60 x 40 hours a week ($424). $424 multiplied by 4 weeks in a month ($1696), then multiply that by 12 months in a year ($20,352). Is this enough money with four people living under one roof? The answer is no, because you need $38,897 to live per year. If two people work on at least a Poverty Wage, they will be making enough to maintain a living with two adults and two children in the household.
As stated in the last paragraph, the family members are: His wife Zoey and their two children, Mia and Jacob. Jackson was working on the Poverty Wage and he wasn't earning enough money for his family to make ends meet. He would need his wife working on at least the Poverty Wage or his family would be in debt. Some other effects might be needing support from others such as the government, friends, or relatives.This is because of the fact that $20,352 isn't greater than $38,897. Let's say that you add the yearly income of a Minimum Wage ($13,920).That still isn't enough money($37,272)! So, you would need at least Poverty Wage to Barely make it by, because you need $38,897 and you only make $40,704.That's enough money, but only by about $2,000!
Minimum Wage
(Minimum Wage-The lowest wage permitted by law or by a special agreement (such as one with a labor union)
For two adults and two children, the average cost of living before Income Taxes is $38,897.
Working on a Minimum Wage with one person will earn you $13,920 that's not enough money for two adults and two children.Now let's try if you add another Minimum Wage to that total ($27,840) that still isn't enough money to maintain a living with two adults and two children.So next, lets see if adding a Poverty Wage would be enough money to make a living with two adults and two children ($34,272) again we see that that's still not enough money for two adults and two children.The last thing that I could add with two people working would be a Living Wage which is ($35,904) annually. If.If you add that to a Minimum Wage that would be a grand total of $49,806. So lastly you wouldn't make enough money unless one person is making a Living Wage and the other person is working on a Minimum Wage.
This Last 'Example' paragraph will still consist of Jackson,Zoey,Jacob, and Mia. Jackson was working on a Minimum Wage and he calculated the amount of money he would need and the amount of money he would make just by him making a Minimum Wage. While doing this he was going to need government help if his wife didn't work on a Living Wage. For the simple fact that $13,920,$27,840,$34,272, and $35,904 aren't greater than $38,897. On the flip side, $49,806 is greater than $38,897.
(For the record one person can't support themselves on a Minimum Wage because $13,920 isn't greater than $18,218)
My Conclusion
I think that the Minimum Wage should be increased to $10.50. This is because it would be more maintainable than $7.25 an hour. I hope in this paper i stated why the poor is poor and the rich is rich.Also this is why the so called "Fair Wages" aren't so fair after all. Last because of the fact of minimum Wage being so low this is why most people need support and help from the government such at food stamps and help from, friends and family.

Behind the Scenes, a Powerful Editor Lives, Breathes and Shapes His State
By JON NORDHEIMER,
Published: August 18, 1992
NEWARK, Aug. 13— Mort Pye has arguably wielded more influence in New Jersey affairs over the last quarter-century than any other person, public or private. But his name would not be recognized by the average reader of the newspaper he has edited since 1957, The Star-Ledger.
Mr. Pye has taken pains to stay out of the spotlight, ducking interviews, almost never appearing on television, an editor who has confined his professional life to the newsroom and rarely ventured out of it.
But as a tub-thumper for New Jersey and -- not incidentally -- The Star-Ledger, he has had few peers.
Under him the paper, once weak, grew to become the 14th largest in the nation. On a state level, Mr. Pye has been a major force behind the sports complex at the Meadowlands, the Garden State Arts Center in Holmdel and the proposed Center for the Performing Arts in Newark.
Now 74 years old, Mr. Pye insists he has no thoughts of stepping down. But the retirement this month of his longtime managing editor has revived speculation about who might eventually inherit Mr. Pye's mantle. A Reputation to Overcome
Both the state and the newspaper, based in Newark but circulated through northern and central New Jersey, used to suffer the psychic pain of growing up in the shadow of powerful competitors and neighbors.
For New Jersey, it was the historical perception that it served little purpose other than as a back door to New York or a stepping stone to Philadelphia, a perception that has changed in recent years as it drew professional sports teams, businesses and residents away from its rivals.
When Mr. Pye arrived at The Star-Ledger, it was a scandal sheet that suffered by nearly every comparison to the New York news-media giants and to its rival down the street, The Newark Evening News. The News had greater circulation, was more prosperous and respected, and had higher journalistic standards.
"I hate to speak ill of the dead," Mr. Pye says, "but The Star-Ledger was not thriving in the 1950's, even though Newark then was still a prosperous city.
"The staff was small, production was primitive and there was little idea of what we were doing. The paper was going downhill fast."
Mr. Pye, whose wife, Florence, is a member of the Newhouse newspaper family, which owns The Star-Ledger, was brought in as top editor to revamp it, beef up the reporting staff and compete with The Evening News for statewide prominence.
Two developments hastened that accomplishment.
Five days of rioting in Newark in July 1967 left 26 people dead, 1,500 injured and $10 million in property damage. The disturbance hastened the flight of white residents and businesses from Newark. The Star-Ledger, faced with a heavy investment in a new headquarters and plant that opened the year before, had no choice but to stay. But it was only a matter of time before the name of the city was dropped from the paper's masthead and the push for circulation outside Essex County, already under way, was accelerated.
And by the early 1970's, The Evening News, battered by the riots, changing demographics and competition from television, folded.
The Star-Ledger shrewdly moved into the void left by the departure of its rival and aspired to be a statewide newspaper.
Statewide sports coverage was greatly expanded, news bureaus opened in 15 of the state's 21 counties, and split runs delivered local news in zoned editions. The Trenton bureau soon had more reporters and provided more political and governmental coverage than any other paper.
With a daily (price: 25 cents) circulation of 483,400, The Star-Ledger ranks 14th in the nation and is by far the most widely read newspaper in New Jersey. It easily outsells its closest challengers in the state, The Asbury Park Press (166,300), The Record in Bergen County (161,800), The Courier-Post in Camden (98,130) and The Trenton Times (82,000). The Sunday Star-Ledger, a fat, ad-rich bundle that costs only 50 cents at the newstand, is bought by 717,500 readers, making it the 11th-largest Sunday paper in the nation.
The Newhouse chain is privately owned and its profits are not available, but The Star-Ledger is regarded as highly lucrative.
Behind all this success stands Mr. Pye, a diminutive figure who looks swallowed up by his clothes. There is a horseshoe of white hair girding a bald head, giving him the look of a benign monk. His health, he says, is sound, and he still puts in six days of work in a hands-on management style that plunges him into every aspect of newsroom work with a staff of 300 reporters, editors and assistants.
But the retirement of his second-in-command, Henry (Andy) Stasiuk, has set off buzzing that the person named to fill Mr. Stasiuk's place might eventually replace Mr. Pye.
There is talk that that person may be Steven Newhouse, a member of the publishing family, who currently is editor in chief of The Jersey Journal in Jersey City. In an interview, Mr. Pye gave no hints but noted that "complicated changes will be announced by the end of the month" and added with a small smile, "We like to promote from within at The Ledger, but that is not always possible."

, which I absolutely love because they can be more fitted to your wrists than standard round bangles.
Here are some examples of the bangle configurations I came up with out of my jewelry box:
Juicy Couture
gold and teal bangles,
watch w/ silver
& Co. cuff, Marc Jacobs chain link mixed with different bold bracelets,
Michael Kors
watch with
Kate Spade
hinged bangles.
If I could go on a jewelry shopping spree right now, this is what would be in my cart:
Kate Spade
Tory Burch
Marc Jacobs
Michael Kors
Michael Kors Watches
(I want this more than anything... it's only $5,500+ tax!)
Sorry if I just caused you to go spend a ton of money. I was just too in love with all of this not to share :)

Poetry by John
{This was just too funny not to share!}
I love you… (even though)
by John Richards
for Hilary Richards (my wife)
I love you…even though you stink,
I love you…even though you seldom blink…
But your rotting smells aside, and discounting your chronic dry-eye,
I cannot deny that I feel so high every time I say "I love you".
I love you…even when you laugh…
Not to suggest that your laugh is a gaff…
But if other chuckles were gold, and your laughs were mold,
I would theoretically still love them AND you all to no end!
I love you, whether you're PMSing or not…
Although…it seems oddly constant, considering what I've been taught?
But still when you smile, my throat fills with bile, and my heart throbs with an intensity akin to the gaseous palpitations of 1,000 burning stars.
I love you…just the way you are…
And I'd still love you, even if you had a bald head and a distinguishing facial scar.
Because you're the world's greatest gift, and I know others are miffed,
That you married someone well below your established rank in the traditional American intra-relational caste structure.

AFP, Baghdad : A suicide bombing claimed by the Islamic State jihadist group killed at least eight people near a Shiite mosque in eastern Baghdad on Wednesday, security and medical officials said.
The blast in the Obeidi area also wounded at least 19 people, the officials said.
IS claimed the attack in a statement posted online, saying a bomber identified as "Abu Salem" carried it out with an explosives-rigged belt.
IS considers Shiites to be heretics,mesothelioma lawyer virginia and frequently targets them with bombings in crowded areas of the capital.
IS overran large areas north and west of Baghdad last year, and while Iraqi forces have retaken significant territory north of the capital, much of the country's west remains under jihadist control.
Bombings in Baghdad have become less frequent since the IS offensive last year, apparently because the jihadists have been occupied with fighting elsewhere.

Author's Note: Bonjour RoyAi fans! Sorry I'm posting my RoyAi contributions for RoyAi day late. D: I've been busy with school starting and all. Anyway, please enjoy!
Disclaimer: I do not own Fullmetal Alchemist. Fullmetal Alchemist belongs to the great Hiromu Arakawa-sama. I do not own Roy Mustang. Roy Mustang belongs to Riza Hawkeye.
Rating: T for terms used and swears.
"The bunnies are burning; let's wash my car with mouthwash now." – Talking
'My feet smell like cucumber because I ate a watermelon.' – Thinking
Understanding Nosebleeds.
Roy Mustang did not get nosebleeds through so-called… horniness.
Roy Mustang did not understand how men get nosebleeds after seeing something… interesting.
Roy Mustang watched as Jean Havoc flipped through a 'magazine' while supporting a nosebleed.
"Havoc," Roy asked "Why are you getting a nosebleed?"
"Are you serious boss? Will you not look at how hardcore this is?" Havoc shoved the 'magazine' full of interesting things at Mustang's face. Roy looked over at what Havoc was practically praising over. He read the entire page and stared at the very interesting pictures.
The Second Lieutenant's jaw dropped as he watched his superior officer read through his magazine for about 5minutes. He noted every movement of his face… which was barely anything! Roy's eyes just momentarily grew slightly bigger and he swore, behind the Colonel's poker face was a smirking bastard. Other than those, Mustang's face remained neutral as if reading paperwork. Jean Havoc couldn't believe, could his boss be… gay?
Roy noticed how his subordinate was looking at him. "What?" he asked with annoyance in his voice.
When Havoc didn't reply, Roy finally got it. Mustang's eyes grew big and he began to explain himself. "Wait- Shit Havoc, I'm not gay or anything! I just have very high tolerance for these things!"
"But you barely look turned on!"
Roy looked hurt, "Excuse me Havoc?"
"Oh GOD, you ARE gay!"
"Argh, SHUT UP HAVOC I AM NOT GAY. Can you not tell that there's a tent in my pants already? Sheesh."
That about popped a vein on Colonel Mustang's head.
Jean Havoc eeped.
Just then, Kain Fuery, Heymans Breda and Vato Falman decided it would be a good time to enter the office after a very enjoyable lunch break. Thank the gods that Riza Hawkeye decided to kick it in the shooting range for a while.
"Afternoon boss, did you hear from…"
But Breda wasn't able to complete his statement; no he was interrupted by the scene before him and the other guys.
"I'm going out." Roy growled as he pushed past the guys staring.
The office reeked of ash. Roy Mustang had burned off all the clothes off his subordinate, Jean Havoc. The second Lieutenant was struggling to hide his unfazed erection. His face looked like he was going to shit himself. Poor Havoc, to be engulfed in the Colonel's flames in such a humiliating manner.
"I'm guessing you said or did something to um…"
"I d-don't want to talk about it Fuery." A scarred Havoc said.
And what a wonderful day we are having in the Eastern headquarters.
'Damn it Havoc,' Roy thought to himself as he stormed his way to the locker and shower room, he wanted to get rid of the smell of ash on himself. 'Who actually gets nosebleeds anyway? I mean no guy could be that horny right away! Seriously, as if an erection isn't enough. Damn it Havoc! It is technically impossible for blood to travel that fast, you might as well be blushing. And besides, I'm the Flame fucking Alchemist; I can turn girls on faster than I could snap my fingers…"
The Colonel was stuck in his own little world as he walked and pondered at the same time. He only let his feet guide him to the locker and shower room since he was still disturbed by the nosebleed theory. As strange as Mustang was, he closed his eyes as he walked and thought, seeing as lunch break is over and he wouldn't expect to run into anyone. Thinking he was near his destination, the man walked briskly and entered the locker and shower room. He opened his eyes as soon as he got in and saw…
'Oh, holy shit… HOLY SHIT.' Roy's eyes grew big at the scene. And yes, even his nose started to bleed and his face was getting red.
Let's picture the scene. Riza Hawkeye, who had just showered, blue uniform pants on, boots off, tight push-up bra on, stretching to try to get the military shirt on. Stretching plus push-up bra equals Mustang with a nosebleed. And a heavy one too.
Since the Lieutenant's shirt was covering her face, she wasn't able to see who had just entered the room. That is until she finally got her shirt on properly and looked at the intruder.
"C-Colonel?" She said staring at his face; his nose seemed to be bleeding and he seemed lost staring at her. Hawkeye wondered how long he'd been standing there… watching her… 'Shit.'
After a good 5second stare, Roy Mustang's brain finally turned on. His hand quickly shot up to pinch his nose since it was continuously bleeding. He turned away and blushed furiously. (Yes, Roy Mustang was blushing.) "I- I apologize Lieutenant. I s-swear it was an accident. I-I entered the wrong room. I did not mean to see you in such position." He said in a hurry. Damn, what was wrong with him? He was stammering and stuttering. In all his years of womanizing, Roy was NEVER as nervous as he was now.
"Yes Lieutenant?"
"Get out."
"Yes, of course."
Roy cleared his throat and went out without another word. Riza who unknowingly held her breath the whole time inhaled and exhaled deeply. She didn't know whether to feel pissed that the Colonel just entered the girl's locker and shower room with her practically flashing him or whether to feel pleased that she had done that to the great Roy Mustang. Deciding on the latter, she chuckled quietly to herself. It had been a treat seeing the Colonel act up like that.
As soon as Roy got out, he looked at the door and saw the sign which read 'Women'. He felt like a total idiot and entered the correct locker and shower room. He really needed to do something about the nosebleed; he had already ruined his right hand glove. He found his locker and dialed the combination with the other hand. The Colonel grabbed his towel and undressed quickly getting into the shower not even letting it heat up first.
Roy loved being in the shower, it helped him think. And boy, did he have something to think about. The way his Lieutenant moved under the shirt… 'Damn it, this nosebleed's getting worse.' The Colonel decided to rethink the nosebleed theory and with the permanent picture of Riza Hawkeye getting dressed, he finally understood nosebleeds.
Author's Note: Bwahahaha, I just love RoyAi. I feel bad about posting this so late, please forgive the lazy me! I'll post another story later! Can't wait for FMAB next week, the last episode (60) made me go WTF at the end even though I read the manga. XD
Oh and is the story to short? I could actually add "something" in there but it'll make it Rated M (for Mustang) and I'm scared to write M's. )': HAPPY ROYAI DAY!
Anyway, reviews make me actually read my email and grin like a total idiot. 8D Rate and review please!
With love, Sky Pastel.

A Registered Education Savings Plan (RESP) is a special savings account registered with the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA), designed to help families save for their children's post-secondary education.
Contributions made to an RESP grow tax-free until the beneficiary enrols in a qualifying post-secondary program. A lifetime limit of $50,000 per child can be contributed to an RESP. When withdrawing money for educational purposes, any income earned on the contributions is taxed in the hands of the beneficiary, who will typically have little income as a student and will likely pay minimal to no tax on the withdrawal.
To provide your children with even more opportunities, RESPs can be supplemented with the following grants:
|Key people involved in opening an RESP
|The student using the RESP for their post-secondary education.
|The person advising on investment decisions.
|The person who opens an RESP on behalf of the beneficiary.
|The company that offers the RESP account and the individual investments; also responsible for administration of the plan (e.g. AGF).
The sooner you start to save, the more your savings grow!

I have a confession to make: I'm an Inc 500 junkie.
Every year when it comes out I pore over the list. I'm fascinated with business growth and profitability (do I sound like fun or what?).
This year I noticed something about the real estate companies on the list…
Nearly every one of them is servicing bank REO or defaulted loans, and those that aren't have taken a unique approach to solving a problem specific to today's market.
Provides appraisal management services for lenders
Provides property management services for banks
Provides a range of services around loans that are in default
Provides appraisal management services for lenders
Manages the sale of foreclosed homes
Provides appraisal management for lenders
Is your business growing the way you want it to?
If your answer is "no," then what are you doing about it?
I get email daily in which I'm asked a variety of questions. One question I get all the time is, "How long do you think this is going to last"? When I get this question I just point to the data. It seems pretty clear from where I sit that we're in this for awhile. How long exactly? Nobody knows.
So you can hem and haw, you can ask how long this will be going on, you can wonder if you can really make any money and if banks are really selling at all, and you can be worried about what bankers will say when you call them. Meanwhile, there will be people who are cleaning up.
Figure out how you're going to take advantage of the opportunity while it's here today or just wait and wonder, resigning yourself to the day you sit around and talk about the one that got away.

Uma Thurman settles child custody battle
Uma Thurman and her ex-fiancé Arpad Busson have settled their child custody battle.
The pair exchanged friendly kisses after the hearing in Manhattan on Thursday (17.09.15), which was triggered by Arpad who sued Uma for more time with their three-year-old daughter Rosalind (known as Luna).
Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Matthew Cooper praised the former couple for working out an amicable settlement, saying: "Everybody compromised a bit... I think it was all done to make one person happy and that one person is Luna.
"Both parties worked very hard to come up with an agreement that's in the best interests of your daughter.
Uma, 45, started dating French financier Arpad, 52, in 2007 and they got engaged the following year.
The on/off couple - who previously split before reconciling - welcomed Luna in 2012 but called off their engagement again last year.
Uma has a son and daughter from her marriage to Ethan Hawke, who she divorced in 2005, while Arpad has two sons with his ex Elle Macpherson.
Uma recently gushed about all three of her children, saying she is very proud of how they "conduct themselves".
The 'Pulp Fiction' star said: "I'm madly in love with all of my children and very proud of them. I think they conduct themselves with a lot of dignity and respect for others. It's all a parent could dream of."

30 Halloween Costume Ideas for You Last Minute People!
[Editor's Note: One week until Halloween! One week until Halloween! ZOMG! PANIC! If you're still struggling to find a Halloween costume for your little ones, check out this post by Delilah at Confessions of a Semi-Domesticated Mama. She's got ten years of Halloween costumes with multiple children for 30 different ideas! Surely there's a costume idea in here for you! (Also, just a tip: This would be a good post for you to write and share it with us too!) -Jenna]
The Ghosts of Halloween Past:
I'm still in complete disbelief that Halloween is almost here! We finally finished getting the last of the kids costumes this past weekend- it gets harder as they get older. It was so nice and easy when they were little, they had no opinions and I got to pick the costumes that I liked. Not so much anymore so I have to resort to bribery and coercion. I'm okay with that. I took a trip down memory lane recently and pulled out some old Halloween pictures of the kids.
10 Years of Halloween Costumes
1- 2003: Ty was Scooby Doo and Cam was a Giraffe. This was Cam's first year trick or treating. He was only a month old and still very sick the year before. He looks like a 3 month old in this picture but he was almost 14 months old.
