2009 MBP: Worth Upgrading?
Jun 17, 2012
I have a mid-2009 13" MBP 5.5 Intel Core 2 Duo 2.53 GHZ 256 GB HD 4 GB RAM.
I originally bought this machine for work, but I enjoy it so much it has become my primary computer. Can it be upgraded to work smoothly with Photoshop and Lightroom? I shoot RAW files on a Canon 40D.
If I understand things correctly, 8 GB RAM is the maximum amount of RAM for my MBP. This would be an inexpensive upgrade (i.e. $46.00), but will it make much of a performance difference?
I've been reading this forum. Seems like upgrading to a solid state drive might be a second upgrade option. A 256 GB drive currently runs for about $220.00.
Would either/both of these upgrades improve performance enough to justify the cost?
Thanks in advance.

Older people living in West Norfolk will be able to 'ask LILY' for information about a host of services, activities and information with the new LILY (Living Independently in Later Years) online directory which was launched this week.
The new directory which can be found at www.asklily.org.uk has been compiled by West Norfolk Council on behalf of the West Norfolk Partnership.
It contains over 900 entries covering social activities, health, transport, money matters and more, and is designed to be a one-stop-shop for anyone looking for information for the over 65s living in West Norfolk.
At the last Census, 23per cent of West Norfolk's population was over 65, with 27per cent of these people living alone. Estimates suggest that these figures are set to rise.
Second home ownership, the rural nature of the borough and a trend for people to retire to West Norfolk from other areas, mean many older people can find themselves without vital community or family networks. LILY brings together a range of information, for older people and those who support them, in one place, making it easy for people to find the contacts and information they need.
Cllr Elizabeth Nockolds, Cabinet Member for Health and Wellbeing explained: "We want to help older people to live independently in their own homes and to get the most out of living in West Norfolk.
"Often the services, advice or activities that people need are out there, but getting the correct information relies upon asking the right person, so we're encouraging anyone who wants to know about services for older people to ask LILY. Whether you're looking for information about healthcare, where to find a handyperson or local clubs and social activities, LILY should be able to give you what you need to make the first contact."
Hazel Fredericks, Chair of the Older Persons' Forum, which has tested out the new directory, said: "West Norfolk Older Persons' Forum is really pleased to support the launch of the LILY website because it provides a wealth of information to help older people in their daily lives, in so many ways".
Joanne Mawson, who has been compiling the directory, explained that the directory is still a work in progress that the team will continue to develop in the coming months.
She said: "There's a lot going on in the area for older people and it has been quite a task pulling together the information. I'd like to thank everyone who has helped and would encourage anyone who runs community services or activities for older people to check that they are listed in the directory and if they are not, to get in touch with us by calling 01553 616653 or emailing firstname.lastname@example.com.
"We're hoping that by asking LILY people will find the answers to their questions, but anyone who can't find the specific information they're looking for can contact us and we will try to fill in the gaps in the future."
As well as being designed for older people to use for themselves, the online directory is also aimed at anyone who supports older people, including professionals, families or carers.
Information is organised under clear categories making it easy to navigate and the online directory includes a search facility and an option to create personalised short-lists of relevant material.
The online directory is designed to give convenient access for all, however, people who do not have easy access to the internet will be able to call the borough council information centre on 01553 616200 and an advisor will navigate the directory on their behalf.
The directory is part of a wider programme of work which seeks to improve older people's quality of life. Known as Prevention First, the programme aims to help prevent acute problems by tackling low-level issues before they escalate. For more information visit: www.askliliy.org.uk.

Cameron Avery, the touring bassist for Tame Impala and longtime drummer of Pond, has just shared his brand new album Ripe Dreams, Pipe Dreams, out now via Anti-. Grounded in soulful songwriting, multi-instrumental virtuosity, and Avery's heart wrenching, crooning Baritone, the record challenges Avery to carry the weight of a leading man for the very first time. The result is a record that is beautiful, vulnerable, and powerful. Stream the album on Spotify here.
Watch "Dance With Me" video featuring Alexa Chung
Underneath its orchestral arrangements and Avery's gravely vocal, Ripe Dreams, Pipe Dreams is an album about relationships. As Noisey writes, "At once a deeply personal and universally relatable, at it's core, this record is perfect for anyone struggling at the end of a meaningful relationship, groping through late nights and warm bodies to the next person who makes you really feel."
Watch "Wasted On Fidelity" video
The record comes out as the Perth-based singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist has just begin to tour his own project for the very first time, using his beautiful low voice and soaring soul-pop melodies to propel his audiences through the dreamscapes he'll create with his band. He'll also be making an appearance at this year's SXSW in Austin. See all tour dates below.

SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) -- Angie Bjorklund matched a career-high with seven 3-pointers for 21 points and Candace Parker added 20 points to lead No. 3 Tennessee to an 87-63 victory over 14th-ranked Notre Dame on Saturday.
The Lady Vols (12-1) took control from the start, forcing the Irish out of their normally pressing defense by making their first four 3-pointers, three of them by Bjorklund. Tennessee used a 22-2 run midway through the first half to open a 30-10 lead and were in control throughout.
Tennessee improved to 19-0 all time against the Irish (12-2), who had their winning streak stopped at 10 games.
Nicky Anosike added 13 points and nine rebounds for the Lady Vols and Alexis Hornbuckle had 10 points. Charel Allen led the Irish with 17 points and Devereaux Peters had 10 points and eight rebounds.
Bjorklund had two 3-pointers during the run 22-3 and Shannon Bobbitt capped the run with a 3 to give Tennessee a 30-10 lead with 9:22 left in the first half. The Irish shot just 27 percent in the first half and trailed 41-22 at intermission.
The Lady Vols were 33-of-66 shooting from the field, the best performance by an opponent against the Irish this season. Behind 7-of-9 shooting by Bjorklund, Tennessee was 11-of-19 from 3-point range, matching a season-high for 3s. The 58 percent shooting from 3-point range also was a season best.
Notre Dame, which depends on its defense to ignite its offense, forced a season-low 14 turnovers.

I have featured Marnie Weber's work several times (here here and here) but wanted to show you a few more of her recent-ish works. I LOVE THEM!
Marnie Weber was born in Bridgeport, Connecticut. She studied at the University of Southern California and received her B.A. from University of California, Los Angeles.
Much of Weber's visual art revolves around a recurring cast of characters. An animal often found in her work is the bear, which is linked to the Greek goddess Artemis. These characters, among others, are placed in "vividly colorful environment[s]", ornate, Empire style interiors or dark, dense, eerie landscapes. Her work most often focuses on the adventures of women, which sometimes take the form of half-human, half-animal hybrids with bodies cut from pornographic magazines, and other times, pale-faced, folksy ghosts known as "Spirit Girls".
Marnie Weber's work is featured on the cover of the 1998 Sonic Youth album A Thousand Leaves.
The Spirit Girls is the name of Marnie Weber's alt-rock musical group and also refers to a group of characters that are found in her art. "[They] are the specters of five adolescents, killed in their prime, who come back to the real world to 'express things they weren't able to express' while they were alive."
Weber has also performed and recorded with The Party Boys (US-band) and The Perfect Me. She has two solo albums, Woman with Bass, 1994 and Cry for Happy, 1996, both recorded as "Marnie". In 2004, a compilation of her work was released entitled Songs Forgotten: The Best of Marnie 1987 - 2004.

The Russian-born German actress Elena Kazan who had a cameo in Agent Vinod is about to make a full-fledged debut in Bollywood in the movie John Day. Her first Bollywood film itself is a movie that demands serious acting skills as she is playing a chronic alcoholic with a dark past. What is more challenging is the fact that she shares the screen with top-notch actors like Naseeruddin Shah and Randeep Hooda.
Kazan grew up in Germany and was educated in the United States. Though she's a German, she learnt to speak Hindi and Bengali, apart from the many other languages that she is fluent in. It was during this stint in the USA that she was introduced to Indian movies, especially classics by Satyajit Ray and Ritwik Ghatak. She is also a model and she has done many modelling assignments. She started her acting career by debuting in Bengali cinema with the film "Clerk" in 2010.
When asked about her acting in John Day, she said there was excellent chemistry between Hooda and herself and the complexity of the role was what attracted her. Her role wasn't just limited to being a chronic drunk as the character she plays has an air of mystery around her and has dark shades and yet that touch of innocence. She is equally intoxicated with love and alcohol. The mysterious aura surrounding the character is what led to Kazan being selected in the first place as she is a new face in the industry.
"I didn't want someone with any kind of an image," says the director of JOHN DAY, Ahishor Solomon. "There is certain kind of mystery attached to this character and had I taken a known face, it would have backfired. I must have auditioned more than 30 girls before choosing her because her core persona too has a little bit of edge to her." John Day produced by K. Asif, Anjum Rizvi and Aatef A Khan.
After this, Kazan will be seen in a movie Prague by Ashish Shukla. Talking about that, she says ""I am a Czech girl who falls in love with an Indian techie (essayed by Chandan Roy Sanyal) who visited her city Prague coming from faraway Kolkata."d.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(s);

Hub. For those of you not from Vancouver, Yaletown is one of my favorite places. It has a very trendy yet nostalgic feel to it. Some of the roads are still made from brick and it's just beautiful there and it's littered with tons of restaurants and small shops. I would say it's right outside the central downtown area. I hope that gives you a feel of what it's like. I ordered my usual warm chicken salad and my boyfriend got the mac and cheese with crab meat. We also shared some hot chicken wings, which are the best we've ever had! I apologize for the crappy quality as these were taken with my ipod.
|My salad~!
|Chicken wings~
|My yummy beef stew
|Kimchi! <3
|Boyfriend's bibimbap
|These tank tops were the cutest thing ever so I got
every color she had!
|Cute bow print cardigan
|Simple white flowy top
Here are some things I got over the past month or so but didn't have time to take pictures of and show you guys. There's still some things hiding around in my room so this is all I managed to find that was new.
|Cute peter pan collar print sweater from f21
|Rings from f21
(the black one is a gift to a friend)
|Little bear ear beanie also from f21
|New bras from La Senza~
I know I said I'm trying to save money, but rest assured, everything here was on sale for cheap! Like the beanie was only $4. How could you not buy that?! I didn't get anything for Cyber Monday or Black Friday (I know that's an American thing but we had a lot of sales here too) so I thought the bras and the sweater were alright to pick up.
Finally, I was flipping through my ipod photos when I came across some old Halloween pics! I only saw a few costumes and managed to take a picture of 2 and a cool drawing I found at my boyfriend's school lol.
Thanks so much for reading! I hope things will get more interesting these next few weeks, especially after my exam. An eyelash review has been requested by one of my lovely readers, so please stay tuned for that. I think I'll also do a review for my new circle lenses as well. See you around next time!

|Restaurant Information
When you walk into Rock Bottom, you really get a sense of that strong pub atmosphere – simple tables, dark lighting, tall ceilings, a few TVs for watching sports, and a noisy chatter. Every table gets its own bucket of peanuts whose shells you can use to decorate the floor. The pub attracts a variety of patrons from the UofW student to the young couple to the elderly men to the neighbourhood regulars.
These frequenters are not necessarily here for the food, which is typical of any bar – nachos, wings, sandwiches, burgers, and other greasy and fried deliciousness. The true star of this restaurant and the reason why you want to go here is their VERY LARGE selection of beers on tap. If you are a bit hungry and happen to look around at what other people are eating, you will find them very happy with wing sauce on their hands and faces – it could very well be us.
Diner's Favourites:
Beer: We don't know that many places where you can find beers like Fruli, Coors Light, Neustadt 10w30 and Strongbow all on tap at the same place. The selection of 28 beers is enough to please everyone.
Wings: Large. Sloppy. Delicious. Once you try them, you realize that all other food on the menu just doesn't compare. It is the ultimate food to go with your frosty beverage. Period.

Wings on the Water
Written by The Online Fisherman Team on 04 October 2012.
This is the story of an American company called Wright & McGill. The company that made it a habit to support women's sport teams (in the 20's), employ the disabled as well as "people of color" at a time when few companies would even consider such "progressive" ideas. This is a story of fishing, a story of two guys meeting on a stream, and a love of trout fishing. And a story of America.
"To those needing introduction to Dame Nature's greatest battler, a little explanation is due. Mr. Trout is a freshwater fish whose family includes about forty species, most of them commonly allied to the Salmon. The wet warrior is found in many mountain streams, rivers, and pools." Reading this copy from a book graciously given to me by the wonderful people at Wright & McGill makes me think about fishing for trout. And writing about the outdoors and about fishing.
The first fish I caught was a bluegill. I used a red worm taken from a little white cardboard box with a metal handle. They are still around. There were no styrofoam cups of worms back then. Styrofoam would not come around for a while. But as much as I remember that, I remember standing in a Pennsylvania stream waste deep. Unlike our local waters, wading there, you never get far from being a little scared. Lose your footing while trying to get in the right position to cast where the fish are (sound familiar?), and you could die. Uncle Eddie used to growl the words just that way. "You can die. Be careful." The fish we were stalking were brown trout. There were rainbow there too, and a Brook at times. But it was those browns that I remember most of all. Now older, there is some of me that is going to be sure to chase them again. The color, the smell of the forests you catch them in, the sound of the water, and yeah, the chance you are gonna hurt yourself all come together to make those trout magical. Not many of our readers know about those stream and mountain fish, but those who do know that it is different – and maybe the best – that there is. I can only imagine Russia after fishing in Alaska for salmon and grayling.
The company that makes those Eagle Claw hooks you've been using all your life has been in the world of fishing since the turn of the century. The two guys that actually formed the company in 1925 had been fishing the same Rocky Mountain waters for the same healthy trout for a long time before fate brought them together — and changed fishing in America forever.
That quoted statement above sounds like it came from a fishing magazine in 1920. It didn't; it is copy for a product a guy from Colorado invented. The story of the company you have known all your life is a story of our sport, our lifestyles, our country, the free market, and what can be done for communities when a couple of guys have a good idea.
Two fishermen on the same water…
The story of people meeting each other and becoming lifelong friends is not a new one. It might be relatively new to read it on an iPad, android tablet, desktop or laptop – but it sure isn't new. Hemingway wrote that story about an old man based on a guy he loved who he fished with. A local whiskey drinker who loved baseball even more than the papa. And could hand-line marlin as easily as Hemingway could pull them to outrigger metal on the true love of his life – a custom fishing boat.
The two guys in the story are named Drew McGill and Stanley Wright. They both lived in a state where the city of Denver had just crossed a half-million people. McGill was a salesman for a company that made sporting goods. They manufactured sporting uniforms, mostly, but employed a team of ladies who hand-tied flies. Trout fishing was popular and becoming more so. Another local angler who he knew was a banker named Wright. They both loved to fish the same streams for the same fish. Like any good angler, they knew that to catch fish you had to fish where the fish are, and you had to present a natural-looking bait in the right way.
And they both tied their own flies. One of the problems flies had then was keeping their form. Fish them for a while and they limped. Drew had an idea. Hell, this was America in the twenties. You had an idea you ran with it. He started tying his own flies and treating them with a chemical mixture he had designed. He went to the women who tied dry flies, nymphs, and streamers for the company he worked for and hired them in their off-hours. He designed a new wingless fly, and taught them how to tie them. He was buying feathers from India, having women in Spain tie gut leaders and work silk worms, and he started selling his flies. When his friend the banker found out, it is easy to see a beer or three being drank after a day waist-deep and creel-full on a Colorado mountain stream. I have not fished that water, but I have seen it. And people in the water are a common site. Things do not change that much, do they? The idea for a company called Wright & McGill was born. The company is still run and owned by a McGill – a man named Lee.
And although they are now covered with regulations, and have people on staff to make sure they follow them closely – they do not have to have the authorities command them to be the same community-minded individuals and company they were almost a hundred years ago. When Colorado was leaving the wild west behind, they did the right thing.
And they still are. When you are as big as the company that makes those Lazer Sharp and Eagle Claw hooks and all the rest of their incredible American-made tackle, you do not need to pay attention to a small start-up web site like ours. But just like those two friends who fished together and saw themselves having an impact on the entire angling community, the people at Wright & McGill / Eagle Claw have become part of this site.
Times have changed since 1925 — and so too has the level and sophistication of the equipment the company manufactures. But just like the old guys did in the twenties, the company still keeps an eye on social situations without having been told to be nice with regulations and law. If you have to do something nice, or do it so you look good, it doesn't really count all that much in the scheme of things. This company has meant something from day one. It's why doing business with them is a cool and healthy thing for any and all of us to do.
We hope you will use their products. To make sure they are talked about, we have a couple of dozen bags of grouper hooks – circles, of course – to give away to our readers. So make sure you catch the fish of the week so you can win the picture of the week (so TOF can also send you some free premium Lazer Sharp hooks while they last). And the next time you tie an Eagle Claw hook onto your line, think about those two friends – the sporting goods salesman and the banker who contributed so much to the sport that we all love. They are watching us all from that mountain stream in the sky.


text: The Blog Do you have a 'spare heir' for your business? by Wendy Kerr Much has been celebrated about the new arrival. Any birth always brings happiness and hope for the future as we feel secure (at some level) our genes have been passed down the line. There is also a lot touted in the press about Kate having produced 'the spare'. Now Prince Harry has a replacement should something untoward happen to him. Reporting of 'the heir and a spare' started me thinking about owner operated businesses, and where is the 'spare' ? Whether you are thinking of starting your business or been operating for a while, you must consider creating systems and processes that allow you to have the business run without you at the helm, all the time. Effective systems and processes will allow you to outsource repeatable low value tasks, scale the business more easily as you can outsource discreet parcels of work. You will gain a freedom mindset, knowing that the business will not collapse without you. What would happen to your business now, if you were taken ill, get consumed by a personal situation or become engulfed in a business issue that overtakes your time? Will your business grind to a halt, as you are no longer at the helm directing and executing, or will it continue on, with effective systems and processes in place, giving you the freedom to divert your precious energy and attention? It's often not until we are faced with an impossible pull on our time that we discover how vulnerable our business is. We have no 'spare'. Our business is at risk of stalling. Here we some ways to get started to... read more Why a successful business needs more than just a great idea by Wendy Kerr What makes a business successful? The answers to this question are infinite, ranging from market conditions, competition, the product, the marketing mix, price, and the owner and their staff. There are thousands of books written on all of these elements, but at the heart of it, you need to look in the mirror. And ask yourself, 'do I have what it takes to make my business successful?" As founder, you become intimately entwined with the performance of your business. Click To Tweet Your confidence, doubts, natural preferences and biases become magnified through the business as you begin to work on it. In my mentoring and coaching work, I work with many clients whose growth is stalled or accelerated by how they are. Do they think naturally of success and strong growth, or naturally of failure and minor incremental growth? I have worked with business owners on each side of this spectrum, and the results of their business indicate clearly where they sit. In my first book Corporate Crossovers – when it's time to leave the office and start your own business', I conducted a large piece of quantitative research of 300 Corporate Crossovers in the UK and US. I also held in depth interviews with 50. From these pieces of research and my work with over 1,500 women business owners, I have discovered the seven essential personal qualities of a successful businesswoman. Top of the list is Passion. You need to have total and utter belief that what you are doing is worth it. A feeling of being so in love with your idea and the value it will... read more Business thinking – is yours all wrong? by Wendy Kerr Leslie was looking exasperated. "I don't know where my time goes, I know I'm really busy every day but the business doesn't move forward. I seem to spend so much time in the business, I'm not sure I like it any more." Ouch! Leslie's outpouring was typical of many business owners, and even some senior executives I have been coaching recently. "Where do you spend your thinking?" I asked in her coaching session. "What areas do you spend most of your time dwelling on, the problem, detail, the vision or planning?" "Oh it's worse than that, I get caught up in the emotional drama of it all." Leslie replied. We can control our thinking and how we spend our precious thinking time. Yet so many of us forget this. It wasn't until I trained as a coach over a decade ago that I understood this, and experienced the difference it makes. And then as I coached more business owners and senior executives, I saw how this played out. A key model my coaching school taught about thinking was 'the five levels of focus.' It's all about where you choose to focus your thinking when you are faced with an issue. There are five levels: 1. Vision 2. Planning 3. Detail 4. Problem 5. Drama By getting so involved in the issues, and the emotion surrounding them, Leslie was getting caught up in the drama of her situation. As you can imagine this is not the best place to find solutions that move you or your business forward. Instead the drama keeps... read more Are you lonely at the top in your business? by Wendy Kerr Recently I facilitated a seminar for women business owners with turnovers in excess of $1 million. They had all started their businesses as sole traders, and grown them into the larger operations they had today. I love being part of a gathering of like minded women, whether their businesses are big, small or just a sparkle in their eye. The excitement, and commitment to creating something out of nothing is energising and inspiring! At the seminar, as their plans for scale, global expansion and eventual exits were discussed, it became clear that they still shared a common concern with buisness owners of any size. Even though they had crossed significant thresholds in their businesses, they still felt lonely at the top. Who could they talk to about cash flow, staffing issues, deal negotiations, finding new sources of funding etc etc? Some of the issues were too delicate to discuss with staff, they no longer wanted to bother family and friends, and sometimes they needed space to throw ideas around to bring them to life. Being 'lonely at the top' is a common phenomena whether you are just starting your business and have no staff or you have been leading one for 15 years with 125 staff. Wherever you are in your business growth, you need support. Without support, you may feel isolated, as you feel no one really understands you or your business. Or maybe you will procrastinate over an important decision because you haven't had the opportunity to talk about it thoroughly and review all the options. So you and your business stay... read more What I learnt from a successful serial entrepreneur by Wendy Kerr I really do love meeting people and discovering their stories. Last week I had coffee with a woman I'd worked with on a judging panel for a prestigious women entrepreneur event. So, not enough time for a long talk, but enough time for me to be intrigued and wonder "how did she do it?" Meeting her at a funky cafe a few days later, I was ever so slightly intimidated. This woman had sold two businesses for several million each, and on her way to growing two more. And she had a very challenging start to her entrepreneurial journey as she started and financed a large business that scaled very quickly. Along the way, she remortgaged her house, not just once but three times. Gulp. When I asked her, how could she do it, take on that level of risk, she said she was very risk adverse. All her decisions were planned, thought out and scenarios assessed. And here's the kicker, she didn't see it as a risk because she knew it would work. She started that business, and her subsequent enterprises knowing they would be successful. Knowing that she would do whatever it took to make it work. Failure and fear didn't enter her mind. Everytime a new project was undertaken, or new financing required, she entered into it with intentions of a successful outcome. Thus for her, investing in the business, taking what others may see as a leap of faith, was the obvious thing for her to do. Her mindset set her up for success. What difference would it make if we had the confidence that... read more Is International Women's Day still needed? by Wendy Kerr March 8 rolled around again. Another International Women's Day. I wondered to myself as I was listening to the youngest ever MP, (a women whop entered parliament in the 1970's), on the radio, 'why do we still need it?'. Then I quickly cast my mind back to when I created my manifesto for Corporate Crossovers. I wanted to bring forth amazing role models of successful women entrepreneurs in the UK, and globally to inspire my thinking. So, I sat down at my keyboard, and nothing happened. My mind was blank. It was easy for me to tap off Alan Sugar, Richard Branson, Donald Trump, but where were the women in the top of my consciousness? I realised that I too, thought first of men as entrepreneurs and captains of industry, not women. Ugh! Had I been brainwashed? Why did I think first of them, when my passion is to enable women to work in a way that is right for them – whether that be starting their own business, or re-engineering their corporate life. I want women to be inspired and to feel that they can create and lead a significant enterprise on their terms. No longer do we need to be constrained by traditional work cultures. I wanted to change the way work works! Growing up in New Zealand, I had significant role models to lift my thinking – we were the first country in the world to give women the vote, we had not just one, but two women Prime Ministers, and a women Governor General. Incredible role models for gender equality. Yet, my paradigm for entrepreneurial... read more How much money do you need to start a business? by Wendy Kerr You are ready to start, you know the business structure, the resources you need to begin and how to maintain a vibrant flow of new customers. One last thing to check – how will you pay for it all? When considering how much funding you need to start your business you need to consider: How long until your first sale from now When will you make a profit How much money you need to fund the business until profit These three elements will give you key information in determining how much money you need to start up. They will give you the foundations of your cash flow in the business. A healthy cash flow is essential for any business, big or small. If the business runs out of money, it will be impossible to pay suppliers. You may have to get other short term finance which may be expensive and it could become a very difficult time for you to trade out of. To avoid this happening, you need to estimate your future cash flow. This way, you can be sure that your business has enough cash to pay its way, and you can keep growing. This is set out like a profit and loss forecast but instead of showing when a sale is made; you put in the amounts when the bill is paid. Like a Profit & Loss statement, there are two parts – cash in and cash out! Cash IN This is the moment your business receives cash in from a customer. If you get paid in cash at the moment you make... read more When business growth stalls and what to do about it by Wendy Kerr There is nothing so dispiriting after setting up your own business to find that growth stops. Even though you have put your heart and soul into it, new customers seem elusive and your revenue and confidence start to flag. I have been faced with this scenario, and over the course of 12 years, it has happened a few times! The easy thing to do is to work harder, try harder, work longer and worry more. But that doesn't assist you in regaining your momentum, all it does is tire you out and reinforce the thought that even though you try your hardest, it's not enough. What a thoroughly demoralising place to be. If you find yourself here, then stop. Stop doing what you've always done, and stop trying harder. It's time to reboot your approach to business. Doing what you have always done will get you what you have always got. If you are unsatisified with the current state of play, then stop, and change what you are doing. This isn't about throwing the baby out with the bath water but taking some time out to create new avenues of growth and opportunity. It's time to stop flogging a dead horse and start to put your time and effort into a fresh approach. Though when we are feeling demoralised by our business, it can be hard to think of new ways and approaches for growth. Here are some effective ways to get your growth mindset happening… 1.

The incidence of hip fracture has been on the increase and projected to be higher than 6 million cases by the year 2050. Complications due to surgical fixation of hip fractures include, but are not limited to, infection, mal or nonunion, avascular necrosis, hardware failure, neurovascular injuries, and death. Vascular complications after surgical hip fracture fixation are very rare. We report a patient who developed Pseudoaneurysm of the profunda femoris artery following an anterograde trochanteric entry long intramedullary nail for an unstable hip fracture. This patient presented 2 weeks postoperatively with weakness, dizziness, and loss of strength. Her hematocrit on presentation was 19.7, and the arterial duplex showed a 6 × 7 cm pseudoaneurysm in the profunda femoris artery. Vascular coil embolization was performed, and the patient fully recovered. Discussion of this particular case and complication along with a full literature review on the topic of pseudoaneurysm after fracture fixation is presented.

With the Rose Bowl just barely finished (and Michigan State the winner) we've had football on our brain for a few days. It got us thinking about some of our favorite (and hottest!) professional football players. So to celebrate the great American pasttime, we're making these hot football players our beefcake this week!
Share your favorite football players in the comments!

Today was the perfect summers day. The IPad, the DS, the PC and the TV were on a ban and the paddling pool was put up in the garden. The tads had a ball! Splashing about and firing the water pistols, their shrieks of glee piercing the hot summers air as I watched from a safe distance!
The house was covered in grass and wet toddler footprints, but somehow the sun stops you from caring.....so I didn't!
We had dinner alfresco and the tads played swing ball, hide and seek and snap! I told my eldest that she had experienced a day in the life of an 80s child. Where vast technology didn't exist and neither did countless tv channels, so outdoor play and amusing yourself was a must! That in itself makes me sound old and like such a Mum.....I do find that on regular occasions now I open my mouth and my Mum comes rushing forth!!!!!
I was so relaxed that we didn't come in until eight and after bath the tads just all conked out without so much as a peep, leaving me to sit and relax with a cuppa. Resulting in the disappearance of half a bar of Cadburys Marvellous Creations!!! Have you tried it? You must! It's a strange popping chewy experience with an altogether yummy Cadburys choc taste!
Anyway 'twas a lovely relaxing day which I really needed. As I mentioned in my last post, this week was busy busy and yesterday was pretty emotional. It was my youngest tads last day at preschool. For the final time, after 4 years of attending the preschool with my three kiddies I said goodbye. Tad 3 doesn't really have a clue what's happening (he's not yet four) but for me it was the end of an era. Another milestone reached, another reminder that my tads are growing up too fast.
I feel a little lost to be honest, unsure of my direction. Unsure of all the change. New house (soon hopefully) my baby boy going to school, my eldest going to year 3 (juniors) and my middle tad having nearly finished her first year in reception, it all seems to be going too fast. I want to shout "STOP! I'm not ready! They were just born!" But as they say, time flys when you're having fun and so far we've had so much!
I've decided it's time to stop dwelling on what has to be and to enjoy days like today, perfect times with my tads which one day will be just a memory.

I do not recommend filing bankruptcy unless it is the ultimate, last-ditch, no other choices available alternative and even then, only after consulting with a bankruptcy attorney who may have some great suggestions to help you avoid bankruptcy altogether. Unpaid bills only hurt for 7 years, but a bankruptcy hurts for at least 10 years.
If you haven't already, search for Dave Ramsey and follow his advice on repaying bills. He is pretty sensible and many have said his ideas work.

Financial Regulation:
Review of Selected Operations of the Federal Housing Finance Board
GAO-03-364: Published: Feb 28, 2003. Publicly Released: Feb 28, 2003.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:

(202) 512-8678
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
The Federal Home Loan Bank System (System) faces additional risks due to the development of new products such as direct mortgage purchase programs. Responding to concern about the methods used for administrative decisionmaking, and the ability of the Federal Housing Finance Board (FHFB) to fulfill its critical mission to regulate the safety and soundness of the System, GAO was asked to (1) compare the FHFB chair's administrative authorities with those of other financial regulators and discuss the basis for that authority, (2) assess FHFB's compliance with selected statutes and regulations in connection with an August 2002 reduction-in-force (RIF) carried out as part of an agency reorganization, and (3) assess FHFB's progress in enhancing its FHLBank safety and soundness examination program.
FHFB's chair has greater authority to make key administrative decisions than the chairs at five of the six other financial regulators GAO reviewed. FHFB's chair has the authority to appoint and remove officials and reorganize the agency without a vote by the board. In contrast, statutes, regulations, and practices limit the chairs' authorities at most other regulators. In particular, the boards or commissions at these agencies approve most senior-level appointments and several boards approve major reorganizations. The basis for the FHFB chair's comparatively broad administrative authority is a delegation of authority, which the board passed in 1990 and 1993. The delegation allows the chair to make and implement key decisions without obtaining or benefiting from the views of all board members and has contributed to sometimes bitter conflicts among board members over the past 8 years. Although FHFB provided significant financial compensation to staff subject to the RIF, its procedures were not fully consistent with all applicable federal age discrimination statutes and regulations. For example, FHFB presented a settlement agreement to separated staff that offered 3 to 6 months salary in exchange for, among other things, the employees agreeing to waive their rights to file charges, complaints, or appeals with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). EEOC regulations implementing the Age Discrimination in Employment Act do not permit waivers of employees' rights to file charges or complaints with EEOC. In addition, FHFB did not advise the affected employees in writing to consult an attorney prior to signing the agreements as is required. Although for several years FHFB did not take steps to correct weaknesses in its FHLBank examination program that GAO identified in a 1998 report, FHFB's current Chair has recently undertaken several steps to improve its examinations. In 1998, and again in 2002, GAO found that FHFB performed limited reviews of FHLBank functions that are critical in managing the banks' financial and operational risks. Among other changes announced in 2002, FHFB plans to increase the number of examiners from 10 to 24 and revise its examination approach to focus on the major risks and quality of controls at each FHLBank. Although these changes have the potential to improve FHFB's examination program, it is too soon to assess their effectiveness.
Recommendations for Executive Action
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: Since the issuance of the 2003 report, FHFB has instituted weekly meetings at which senior staff and board member staff discuss current and emerging issues. Board members report that this process helps ensure that the board has timely information to make knowledgeable decisions.
Recommendation: To ensure full board participation in key administrative decisions that have policy implications, such as senior appointments and major reorganizations, FHFB should consider a range of options that could be implemented within the current delegation of authority. These options include the chair (1) notifying, briefing, and/or soliciting input from other board members on major administrative decisions prior to their implementation and (2) submitting key administrative decisions to the board for a vote or approval.
Agency Affected: Federal Housing Finance Board
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: Since the report's issuance, FHFB has implemented weekly meetings at which senior staff and board member assistants discuss current and emerging issues. Board members report that these meetings help ensure they have timely and sufficient information to make knowledgeable decisions.
Recommendation: FHFB members and their staffs should hold discussions on approaches--including potential revisions to the delegation of authority--that would ensure board participation in key administrative decisions while preserving the chair's authority to administer the agency on a day-to-day basis.
Agency Affected: Federal Housing Finance Board
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: FHFB has agreed to comply with all federal age discrimination statutes and regulations in conducting reductions-in-force in the future.
Recommendation: FHFB should fully comply with applicable federal age discrimination statutes and regulations in offering settlement agreements to employees subject to RIFs.

Police can now confirm that the lady who died in the RTC on the A65 east of Spital Farm, Kirkby Lonsdale yesterday afternoon (20/04/13) was Marion Teresa JONES, 73 years of Barrow-in-Furness.
HM Coroner for South Cumbria has been informed, and an Inquest will be opened on Monday 22nd April.
Just before 1:30pm today, Saturday 20 April a fatal road traffic collision occurred on the A65 at Spital Farm between Crooklands and Kirkby Lonsdale.
A silver VW Golf travelling towards Kirkby Lonsdale from the Crooklands direction had a clash of door mirrors with a second silver VW Golf travelling in the opposite direction and was then involved in a serious collision with a dark blue Audi TT which was also travelling in the opposite direction.
Despite valiant attempts from police officers and passing motorists who were on scene within moments of the collision occurring and who immediately gave first aid and CPR the driver of the first silver VW Golf, a woman from the Barrow-in-Furness area tragically died at the scene.
Her family have been informed but at this time no formal identification has taken place.
A man who was in the front passenger seat of the first VW Gold was conveyed to the Royal Lancaster Infirmary with chest injuries which are not believed to be serious.
The driver and sole occupant of the Audi TT, a woman from the Longtown area suffered multiple injures and was conveyed to the Preston Royal Infirmary by the North West Air Ambulance for treatment, her injuries are not life threatening and her family have been informed.
The driver of the second VW Golf was uninjured.
Both the North West Air Ambulance Service and the Great North Air Ambulance Service attended the scene along with local paramedic ambulances, the fire service and Cumbria Constabulary Roads Policing Unit.
The A65 remained closed until 6:30pm to allow collision investigation work to be carried out.
Anyone with information is asked to contact PC Woodburn at the South Roads Policing Unit in Kendal on 101 or via the Cumbria police website.

Zimbabwe MP arrested for accusing President Robert Mugabe of having sex with former President Canaan Banana
A female member of Zimbabwean parliament has been arrested for alleging that its homophobic leader Robert Mugabe has engaged in homosexual relations.
Lilian Kirenyi of the Movement for Demographic Change has supposedly struck out at anti-gay Mugabe. She has claimed the Zimbabwean leader has had sexual encounters both with former president Canaan Banana and former Information Minister for African State Jonathan Moyo.
This is not the first time Zimbabwe's old president has been associated with gay encounters. Banana was sentenced, before he died, on eleven counts of sodomy and luring men into sexual relations with him.
The Movement for Demographic Change is run by Zimbabwean Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangiri, who shares power of Zimbabwe with Mugabe. Tsvangiri has been quoted as supporting gay rights, whilst Mugabe has referred to their existence in the past as 'satanic'.
