I've moved on from painting rooms to painting projects. I recently purchased this vintage botanical oil painting on Etsy.
The frame color did not go well with the dark pink of the studio, so I decided to paint it white.
I also decided I needed a small table to put my pliers, etc. on while I'm working at the large table. My mom had been storing this oak table in our basement for a few years, so I asked her if I could have it. I'm not crazy about the hearts cut out on the sides, but I cannot complain about the price! I painted it the same white as the frame.
I'm trying to decide if the frame is too white...should I distress it?...paint it a different shade of white?...leave it as is?

Award season is my favorite season and last night I was live tweeting and taking notes on all my favorite fashion at the Golden Globes. Here's my best and worst dressed of the night as well as my favorite and least favorite trends!
My best dressed of the night was Gina Rodriguez in Badgley Mischka. I love that she went for a simple look with the perfect amount of detail at the bottom of the skirt. I also love that she won!! It was definitely a surprise, but well deserved. And her speech was one of my favorite of the night! It might have made me cry...
Some of my other favorites of the night:
Kate Beckinsale in Ellie Saab
Emma Stone in Lanvin
Greer Grammer (Miss Golden Globe) in Lorena Sarbu
Claire Danes in Valentino.... W H Y????
Some other misses of the night:
Keira Knightley in Chanel
Ruth Wilson in Prada
My favorite trend of the night was embellishments - to a degree (I'm looking at you Claire Danes) and white!
Some trends that I did not understand were belts and Amal Clooney's gloves - I know I'm not allowed to say anything bad about Amal but those gloves didn't do it for me! Her dress was stunning but the gloves ruined it, maybe if they wear tighter and didn't fit her like the yellow gloves I use to do dishes? I don't know but I don't think they deserve the praise they're getting.
What were some of your favorite looks of the night? Who do you think should fire their stylists? Let me know in the comments!
For now I will leave you with Chrissy Teigen's interesting cry face

United step up pursuit of Nasri
Manchester United yesterday began talks with Samir Nasri's representatives, as their early summer activity continued to frustrate Arsenal and leave other clubs trailing in their wake.
The talks in Manchester were only exploratory, conducted among intermediaries from both sides, and did not include the Frenchman's agent, Jean-Pierre Bernes.
But United's willingness to open negotiations with a midfielder who appears to have concluded that he has no future at Arsenal suggests they may be ready to capitalise on an opportunity in the transfer market.
The 23-year-old, who was superb in the first half of last season, will fall out of contract next summer and will therefore come cheap -- possibly as little as £8m.
United hold a fair number of the cards if their interest firms up.
Chelsea have indicated that they are not interested in signing the player, who joined Arsenal in 2008, but it is understood that he does want to stay in England.
With United's £17m deal to gain the signature of Ashley Young all but completed last night, Nasri appears to be just one of a number of options.
The prospect of Wesley Sneijder moving to Old Trafford remains a genuine one, with Chelsea seemingly not interested in signing him from Internazionale. Neither can a move for Tottenham's Luka Modric be ruled out, even though Chelsea may offer competition for him.
United are keeping their options open, with the past 48 hours underlining Alex Ferguson's resolve to do far more than merely tinker with his squad as he sets about getting closer to the standard Barcelona attained in last month's Champions League final.
However, there has as yet been no official approach from United to Arsenal about Nasri.
The losers in the Nasri saga are again the Gunners, who had retained some hope that he would be willing to give them first refusal on his continued services and consider any new deal they put before him when he returned from international duty with France, for whom he played a friendly in Poland last night.
But Nasri is evidently dissatisfied by the events of last season, feels that he will not collect silverware by staying in north London and had sanctioned yesterday's discussions.
It would be a bitter blow for Arsene Wenger if United do take the Frenchman, in the week that he lost Blackburn Rovers' Phil Jones to his old adversary, Ferguson -- despite several phone calls made in an attempt to wrest him out of United's grasp.
Nasri's departure would also leave Arsenal more in need than ever of holding on to Cesc Fabregas.
The Spaniard's departure to Barcelona is slightly less likely this summer than last but just as Nasri's representatives arrived in Manchester yesterday, the usual summer noises from Catalonia began, linking Fabregas with the European champions.
Arsenal would sell him if they receive an offer of at least £45m.
"He's a great player and he's a player from Barcelona because he already knows the language we speak on the pitch," said Gerard Pique on a day when the Spanish papers were full of talk of Fabregas finally returning to the capital of Catalonia. "He is a great friend of mine and of course I want him to end up wearing the Barcelona shirt."
Fabregas is expected to holiday in Ibiza this summer with Pique and Carles Puyol, as he did last year.
The prospect of Nasri simply positioning himself for an improved six-figure deal at Arsenal cannot entirely be ruled out.
Wenger has said of the player: "One thing's for sure -- we're not selling him to Manchester United."
But Nasri responded to that on French television at the weekend.
"Let's find out if their interest is true first," he said. "Then we'll talk about it. I don't know if I will sign a new contract. Anyway, the discussions are ongoing.
"Do I want to go to United? We should see if their interest is real and if it is concrete first."
Arsenal respect Nasri and believe he would not try to negotiate a better deal publicly.
The contracts of both Nasri and his compatriot Gael Clichy expire next summer and the Londoners hope to tie them to five-year deals worth £90,000 a week.
Some sources suggest Manchester City are interested in Nasri as well as Fabregas, though suggestions that both players might be signed were rejected by the club yesterday.
City have pulled out of their pursuit of Udinese's Alexis Sanchez, with the player valued at £35m by the club's chairman.
Barcelona is now the likely destination for the Chilean. (© Independent News Service)

Caregiver Stress and 5 minutes
As parents of special needs kids, no matter the age, many of us do far more care tasks than we might otherwise with a child of the same age. Whether it's because your child has physical limitations or intellectual limitations it's really immaterial. The reality is that sometimes the toll of this care sneaks up on you and you don't even realize it.
This past couple of weeks has been something like that. I think that it really hit home for me when I got a fundraiser mailing from the Alzheimer's Association. On the back of one of their pamphlets was something well worth reprinting – it's the 10 Symptoms of Caregiver Stress. Of course this for them is based on caring for an elderly loved one but it seemed so relevant to me I thought I'd just modify it some to show you how applicable it is to us.
- Denial – about the disability and its effects on the person.
- Anger – at the person with the disability or others about any number of things – the injustice of it all, the level of available treatments, the prognosis, the long term ramifications, the drain on your family's resources, financially and emotionally and about a million other things - and that people don't understand what's going on.
- Social Withdrawal – from friends and activities that once brought pleasure
- Anxiety – about facing another day and what the future holds
- Depression – begins to affect the ability to cope
- Exhaustion – makes it nearly impossible to complete necessary daily tasks
- Sleeplessness - caused by a never-ending list of concerns
- Irritability – leads to moodiness and triggers negative responses
- Lack of Concentration – makes it difficult to perform familiar tasks.
- Health Problems – begin to take their toll, both mentally and physically. Usually it's not an overwhelming illness – just the feeling you just haven't felt "right" in some time.
On this last day of the work week I'd remind you that an intregal part of caring for your child is caring for yourself. It's always hard to "find" time to do this…so many demands on our time are always pulling at us looking for attention. Make it a priority to take some 'me' time this weekend, quiet your mind and relax. I'm not even talking a half hour – 5 minutes is a great start.
One of the ways I am working at taking time in my own life to try and change the stress is meditation. I know you all have this vision of me legs crossed, palms facing upward chanting UHM but it's not that it at all. As it was originally explained to me by a great physical therapist is that it's concentrated relaxation. One of the sites I have found most useful (and Forbes actually named one of the best of the web) is Learning Meditation.
Within the Meditation Room there are numerous available meditations for adults and children alike. Some are only 2-3 minutes long – some are as long at 10 minutes and there's a wide variety in between. What I like is they are attainable even with only a short amount of time. The benefit to me has been noticeable and I hope it will be for you as well. It requires Real Player to listen to the audios or it has a printed version of the words that you can use while listening to your own relaxing music (think Enya, NOT Mettalica)
Mostly where I think it's helped me is with my irritability (although my husband may argue this point ) but I think it is starting to move over into the sleeplessness part of life as well. I seem to be having a slightly easier time of falling asleep. Who knows where it might benefit you? I know that no one should refuse themselves 5 minutes a day (at a minimum) to regroup and refresh. What have you got to lose?

I am a firm believer in the zen/meditation room
In the basement I have a small studio designed just for that purpose. Granted it doubles as a recording studio and office, but it's quiet space
Hey John, as far as I'm concerned anywhere ya can lock yourself away for 5 minutes of peace is a good place!!
I have a great "Bill of Rights for Parents and Caregivers" that I saved from an issue of M.U.M.S (Mother's United in Moral Support:
I have the right:
To take care of myself. This is not an act of selfishness. It will give me the capability of taking better care of my child.
To seek help from others. I recognize the limits of my own endurance and strength.
To maintain facets of my own life that do not include my child, just as I would do if he/she were healthy. I know I do everything that I reasonably can for my child, and I have the right to do some things for myself.
To get angry, be depressed and express other difficult feelings occasionally.
To reject any attempt by my child (either conscious or unconscious) to manipulate me through anger, guilt or depression.
To receive consideration, affection, forgiveness and acceptance for what I do for my loved one, as long as I offer these qualities in return.
To take pride in what I am accomplishing and to applaud the courage it has sometimes taken to meet the needs of my child.
To protect my individuality and my right to make a life for myself that will sustain me in the time when my child no longer needs my full time help.
To expect and demand that as new strides are made finding resources to aid physically and mentally impaired children in our country, that similar strides will be made toward aiding and supporting caregivers.

Totally powerful! Thank you so much for sharing with us!!

A manufacturing operations management and execution software company ensures their product will meet the needs of clients in a broad range of challenging network conditions.
Our developers always work in a high performance LAN environment, so before release, we have a challenge insuring that our software delivers acceptable performance over the full range of customer environments including WAN, cloud, and mobile.

South African retailer Woolworths is embarking on a new nationwide body shape and sizing survey, which it says is the first to take place in the country.
The survey of women and men is being carried out to ensure that its clothing sizing standards still meet the needs of customers.
"South Africa has one of the most diverse populations in the world," explains Thateng Shimange, head of womenswear at Woolworths.
"The best way for us to determine the best fit for our clothing is to actually measure real people. No survey like this has ever been done before for the South African population, and for us it's another way we can 'listen' to our customers and adapt to meet their needs."
Woolworths has appointed Alvanon to conduct the survey in its stores in Durban, Johannesburg and Cape Town during February and March 2014. The survey also marks Alvanon's first foray into Africa.
No personal information – other than gender, age and ethnic group will be collected – ensuring participants of anonymity.
Participants spend about 15 seconds (fully clothed) in the scanning booth, and afterwards are presented with a printout giving them information about their recommended Woolworths clothing sizes.
"Using the data from the survey, we will be reviewing our fits and sizing across women's wear and men's wear and will be assisting our suppliers in updating our pattern blocks and fit forms, where required," Thateng continues.

WASHINGTON, April 25 (Reuters) - Global food prices rose in the first four months of 2012, pushed higher by volatile world oil prices, strong demand for food imports from Asia and adverse weather conditions in parts of Europe, South America and United States, the World Bank said on Wednesday.
The latest World Bank food price index shows the cost of food increased by eight percent between December and March, just 6 percent below their February 2011 historical peak.
The poverty-fighting institution said the prices of all key staple foods rose over the four-month period except for rice. It said abundant supplies of rice and strong competition among exporters pushed the international rice price lower.
If current food production forecast for 2012/2013 do not materialize, global food prices could reach higher levels and required close monitoring, the World Bank cautioned.
Developing economies were hit by a food and energy price crisis in 2008, sparking social unrest and prompting food export bans in some countries that pushed prices higher.

Remembering Father Ray Brennan
A family of more than 750 young people are gathering in Thailand today to celebrate the life of Fr Ray Brennan, - founder of the Pattaya Orphanage and many other projects for homeless or disabled people - on the first anniversary of his death. Born in Chicago, in 1932, Fr Ray was a Redemptorist priest. In the early 1960s he was sent to northern Thailand, where he ministered to both his own parish, and many US troops stationed over the border in Laos and Viet Nam. In 1972 he was asked to go to Pattaya as a temporary replacement for the parish priest and worked there ever since. The war in Vietnam was raging, and the Gulf of Siam had become a popular destination for US troops on leave. With their arrival the commercial sex industry started up. One day, Fr Ray was handed an abandoned American-Thai baby. With help from a parishioner he kept the child and within weeks, several more babies had been left with him. By 1978 he had 58 children to look after and officially set up the orphanage. Thirty two years on, Fr Ray's successors - lead by Redemptorist Fr Philip Banchong Chaiyara, with a team of paid staff and volunteers, run the orphanage, a home for street children, thriving schools for deaf and blind children, and people with disabilities, a job placement agency, and an old people's home. They have also recently set up a new drop-in centre for street children - many of whom can get caught up in the sex and drugs industry. Fr Ray last visited the UK in 2002, and preached at Westminster Cathedral during a Mass to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the charity. During his homily, Fr Ray spoke of one severely deformed, mentally retarded baby who had been given to the home and placed in a bed next to a Downs Syndrome child. Soon the two became friends. They would reach out and hold hands. One day, one of of them died. The other one was inconsolable, refused to eat, and died soon after. "For us it was a real lesson in God's infinite wisdom" Fr Ray said. "These two children were severely handicapped but they knew love and they knew it deeply." He then described a young girl who had lost her leg in an accident and came to the school to study computer technology. "She told me she never thought she would be able to live a normal life or be able to send money to her family. She graduated from us and got a good job. And she fell in love with another of our students who had lost both legs. I married them and he is in now the principal of the school." A very modest man, in an interview in Pattaya shortly before he died, Fr Ray said he never expected to do this kind of work when he became a priest. His brother also joined the priesthood becoming an Augustinian, which is a teaching order but Ray had deliberately chosen the Redemptorists because he thought he wanted to be a preacher. "God had other plans", he said. "Now I'm so glad God gave me this job. For him being so smart and me being so dumb." By 2005 it is estimated that as many as 230,000 children under 15 will have lost their mother to AIDS in Thailand alone. Not all of them will have someone who can afford to look after them. Many might end up on the streets or could be sold to strangers. In addition, recent Thai government estimates suggest that 23,000 children are living on the streets in Thailand. In Pattaya alone, during the course of a single year, as many as 2000 homeless children pass through the city.

text: Conrad Industries emerged as the winner to build a new ferry for the high profile customers Alaska Marine Highway. AMH sees the signing as the ushering in of a new era in marine transportation for the community of Metlakatla with the signing of the contract. The new vessel will provide dedicated service between Metlakatla and Ketchikan, two of the Inside Passage's southernmost communities. Southeast Region Director, Bob Doll, represented the Alaska Department of Transportation & Public Facilities at the signing ceremony. "This ferry means better service to the communities of Metlakatla and Ketchikan and less cost to the State of Alaska." The detailed design for the Metlakatla ferry was performed by Pat Eberhardt, P.E. of Coastwise Engineering, Juneau under contract to the State of Alaska. Modeled after a North Sea supply vessel, it is designed to operate the 16 nm run between Ketchikan and Metlakatla in sea state 6 conditions, 13 to 20 ft. waves and winds in excess of 30 knots. Its rugged, open deck design will allow operation more than 95 percent of the time, with a normal operating speed of between 12 and 14 knots. At 181 ft. (55.1 m) the new Metlakatla ferry will be able to transport 149 passengers and 18 vehicles.

Wildcat oil in the White House
It might be valid to observe how swiftly the leading figures in the new US administration have been suffused with the arrogance of power had the electoral process which brought them into office not been so corrupted by corporate dollars. Never mind that diplomats from around the world have spent the last six years painfully stitching together a near deal on the Kyoto Protocol. Never mind, either, the recent warnings from the hundreds of top scientists who have worked together on the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. President Bush contends that scientific knowledge about climate change is "incomplete"; and he is "opposed" to the Protocol because it sets no targets for developing nations such as China and India.

I have been re-watching my favorite films of 2007. Truth be told, it is how I have been spending the last two weeks of my life. Why? Because there are far too many great movies this year, and I wanted to make sure I am making the right choices. If I was picking the Top 20 films of the year, it would have been easier but I had to narrow it down to the Top 10 so, goodbye The Bourne Ultimatum, so long Enchanted, adios 3:10 to Yuma.
For those skeptics who have been asking where all the great movies went, look no further than this year. 2007 has been a banner year for movies and movie lovers! From No Country for Old Men to There Will Be Blood, personal vision triumphed over big productions. The directors of these films did not hire a gaggle of scriptwriters, they wrote their own movies!
As we celebrate the arrival of a bigger and better 2008, lets take a special look back at the films that inspired, entertained, and made us believe again in the magic of the movies.

So where am I spending my Christmas?
Well...Branson, Missouri, of course!!!
The land of Dixie Stampede, Dolly Parton, and Andy Williams.
I used to joke that Branson is like Las Vegas for toothless people...but kidding aside...I love it here...it's peaceful, quiet, and everyone is genuinely nice!
I love the Trail of Lights...and I told my mommy that I'm taking her to Eureka Springs, AK because there's supposed to be a haunted hotel there. Eureka Springs is about one hour from Branson, and I looove ghost stories.
But that's halloween...for now...MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM BRANSON, MISSOURI!!!!!

Ah, Christmas. A time when we can gather around the dining table and endlessly gab with our family. Or you can choose to watch a movie with your precious family instead!
So what movies should you see that truly capture the holiday spirit?
Well, I compiled my Top Ten Best Holiday Films for you! Some are downright irreverent, and some are totally inspirational.
So depending on your mood, I'm sure any of these films will be enjoyable to watch this holiday season...or you can continue gabbing with your grandma.
Did your favorite holiday flick make it to my list? Take a look!!!

Are you excited to see the new "Rambo" film? If you answered no, I don't blame you. Why is Sylvester Stallone rehashing his glory days? The last "Rocky" wasn't bad, but it didn't top the quality of the original.
But still, I had many people asking me about the new "Rambo" flick, so I did my research, and here's what I found:
1) The film is written and directed by Mr. Rambo himself, Sylsvester Stallone.
2) It's a joint collaboration between Lionsgate and The Weinstein Company
3) It's opening in the US on January 25th.
"Rambo" also has had many working titles, some of them have been:
John Rambo Italy / USA (working title)
Rambo 4 Singapore (English title)
Rambo IV USA (working title)
Rambo IV: End of Peace USA (working title)
Rambo IV: Holy War USA (working title)
Rambo IV: In the Serpent's Eye USA (working title)
Rambo IV: Pearl of the Cobra USA (working title)
Rambo: To Hell and Back USA (working title)
And here's the plot outline, courtesy of IMDB.com:
In Thailand, John Rambo (Stallone) assembles a group of mercenaries and leads them up the Salween River to a Burmese village where a group of Christian aid workers allegedly went missing.

An aggregate resource efficiency perspective on sustainability: A Sustainable Value application to the EU-15 countries
The Sustainable Value approach integrates the efficiency with regard to environmental, social and economic resources into a monetary indicator. It gained significant popularity as evidenced by diverse applications at the corporate level. However, its introduction as a measure adhering to the strong sustainability paradigm sparked an ardent debate. This study explores its validity as a macroeconomic strong sustainability measure by applying the Sustainable Value approach to the EU-15 countries. Concretely, we assessed environmental, social and economic resources in combination with the GDP for all EU-15 countries from 1995 to 2006 for three benchmark alternatives. The results show that several countries manage to adequately delink resource use from GDP growth. Furthermore, the remarkable difference in outcome between the national and EU-15 benchmark indicates a possible inefficiency of the current allocation of national resource ceilings imposed by the European institutions. Additionally, by using an effects model we argue that the service degree of the economy and governmental expenditures on social protection and research and development are important determinants of overall resource efficiency. Finally, we sketch out three necessary conditions to link the Sustainable Value approach to the strong sustainability paradigm.

New NCC campus open in Tannersville
@$:SPECIAL TO THE TIMES NEWS The Northampton Community College campus opened Monday.
Close to 2,000 students will make history this week when they become the first students to take classes on what may be the only brand new full-service college campus in the country.
Some of them even showed up early for 8 a.m. classes on Monday, the first day of the semester to participate in a 7:30 a.m. ribbon-cutting ceremony heralding the official opening of "NCC Monroe" a branch campus of Northampton Community College.
"I'm speechless," said Student Governance president Carla Garis as she surveyed the buildings and the spacious courtyard.
"It's hard to take it all in."
Like other returning students, Garis had previously taken classes in an old blouse factory that Northampton had converted into classrooms and offices in 1992.
It had been expanded three times as enrollment grew. Then space ran out.
"Students were literally tripping over each other in the halls," says the college dean, Dr. Matt Connell.
In 2005, Northampton purchased 72 acres of land not far from the blouse factory to build a "real" campus.
The economic downturn delayed the start of construction until 2011.
Students, faculty, college officials and community leaders agree that the campus was worth the wait.
The three buildings include classrooms and laboratories that feature state-of-the-art educational technology, a library with futuristic lighting, a bookstore, a food court, art studios and an art gallery, a full-size gymnasium, a fitness center, a homey child care center, room for meetings and continuing education classes, and lots of study space.
Funding for the $72 million project came from the Pennsylvania Department of Education, individual and corporate donations, gaming revenues, the Northampton Community College Foundation, the Pennsylvania Department of Community Development, and Monroe County.
Continuing education classes for youth and adults, professional development courses, corporate training programs and cultural program will be offered on the campus in addition to degree programs.
The campus in Tannersville is expected to become a learning laboratory for students and others interested in environmental sustainability.
It was built to LEED Gold standards. Solar will provide about 40 percent of the campus's annual electrical needs.
Geothermal will provide 100 percent of the cooling and heating requirements.
The campus is located in the center of Monroe County on Route 715, close to Route 80 and Route 611.

- John,
Upon further testing, we find that once he answers me but before I lock on to the connect ack, it keeps scanning, transmitting acks on every channel. Once I connect, it locks down. With strong signals that lock right away, it is not noticable but with weak signals that take a while to lock, it continues to scan while transmitting. Once I lock on to his ack, the scanning stops and the connect continues normally through to completion.

text: I have seen posts about people using real big splits the kind you can only get like 3 in the stove total. Last year I really didnt have real good and dry wood but the wood I had worked but it was not ideal. I tried this recently instead of raking my coals forward I just spread the coals out and had a pretty decent depth of good hot coals, I'd say about 3" deep. So I loaded the stove up with 3 huge splits, Splits that were good and dry. The 3 huge splits filled the stove pretty good but not like I could pack in small splits. There was more room up top around the secondary tubes. I was skeptical if not having the stove completely full if the stove wood burn all night plus loading on such a coal bed would make them burn too fast. My thought was the bigger splits would burn slower on the deep hot coal bed and not over heat the stove. Plus I made sure I got the air turned down in time not to let things get too hot. It all worked really well , I got a 9 hour burn with a stove load with just 3 splits and the stove not packed full and loaded on such a hot coal bed. House was a nice and warm 71 in the morning when I got up. Big Chunk Good and Dry wood is a nice option to have. All 3 chunks were Red Oak. One of the splits was a chunk like 8" by 9" 20" long .

Designing a reliable real estate spreadsheet necessitates a little prior thinking around the functions, calculations, and output you are considering. This should be accomplished before you actually get going. Here we exhibit some important things to consider with an example.
To show the right procedure for designing and constructing a real estate spreadsheet with a spreadsheet, let's use a non commercial multi-unit fixing up venture example. To be sure it's realistic, let's suppose it has five condo spaces, was developed 40 years in the past, has a few present tenants, and is in need of new interior and external fresh paint, some plumbing and utility work to upgrade the property to current health and safety requirements, and a limited re-roofing to mend some water damage.
Our initial step is to capture non-numerical data into the spreadsheet, so we save a tab for that. This is utilized for site and condition facts such as address, zoning category, residence and industrial, community, occupancy in the building and vicinity, type of schools, and so forth. This will be great for funding and insurance purposes, as well as keeping track of a number of properties if you have a large real estate account or a property supervision company. You should put it into a typical database file format in the event you want to save and research the details in the future.
It is good to take a look at expenses, so we save a worksheet in the real estate spreadsheet for that purpose. Here, you've got a decision. You can possibly create a large list of common construction and managing charges or a reduced list of expenses related specifically to this asset specifically. The former choice allows you to use the Excel spreadsheet for other investments that are not really identical to this one. The second item makes it simpler and could be better if this is a once-off investment. Either way, you need to include all of the fees in a timeline schedule by month. This should incorporate the covering, coloring, water lines, wiring, gardening, insurance coverage, etc. The money costs are apt to be the most intricate because you have to approximate not only the interest rates of the loan you have, but the principle prepayment rates, home loan policy, etc. This may be complicated from a calculations standpoint. How intricate in the calculations you get with expenses is for you to decide.
As this is a non commercial rental building it makes sense to include rental earnings in your real estate spreadsheet. That's obvious. What isn't so obvious are things such as interest on renters' money deposited, financial assistance, taxes, and other such details. When you're creating the Excel model you want to approximate when those profits will appear, and that concerns the quantity of tenants, the rental rates you charge, how long the lease term is for each tenant, and other details. You ought to plan for some late rents, evictions, and empty apartments. If you haven't become familiar with the location before this may be a problem. You can assemble knowledge on that by speaking to nearby realtors, banks, and tax assessors, or subscribe to a business data bank that handles the neighborhood.
Usually you also need to think about taxes. Are local property taxes imposed prior to when they're due? As part of the home mortgage payments? How often are they? When will they really need to be paid? Are there any bookkeeping costs? Is it possible to obtain any tax writeoffs? How will you estimate depreciation if that is a tax break? Property taxes can be quite intricate and you need them in your measurements or your profit estimates will probably be erroneous.
Subsequently, coming up with and constructing a real estate spreadsheet is complicated. Hopefully this short article gave you some helpful instruction

Change the "Preachings" you hear – Hear what will edify you and not what will put you in "Religious Bondage".
It is not the amount of Gospel preachings you have heard or you hear that matters, but the amount of the Word of God that is retained in your sub-conscious memory and applied everyday in your life.
In this year, don't be a hearer ONLY, be a doer of the Word of God.
Rejoice not because you are the most punctual in Church, the most eloquent in preachings, the most wonderful in cramming the verses of the Bible, but rejoice because you are a hearer and an applicator – a doer of the word of God that you hear.

Taylor Swift Makes Christmas Visit To 96-Year-Old War Vet Fan With Cancer (VIDEO)
Taylor Swift made a surprise Christmas visit to Cyrus Porter, who's not only a 96-year-old fan from Missouri, but is also a World War II vet with cancer. On Monday, Swift stopped by his home in New Madrid, where she spent time with Porter and even treated him and his 60-plus children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren to a private acoustic concert. See the photos and video below.
Just five days after a local news station did a report about Porter, and how the war vet is a huge fan of Swift's and has even driven to concerts in St. Louis and Memphis to see her perform, the singer herself made the trip to his home. While there, she not only spent time with Porter, but she also posed for pictures with each of the 60-plus family members who spent the day after Christmas with the patriarch. Porter also shared stories with Swift and showed her some of his commendations for and articles about his military service during World War II.
One relative posted video of Swift's performing "Shake It Off" for Porter's family. And a grandson named Robert posted a selfie on Instagram of himself, his grandfather, and Swift and captioned it, "It's a Christmas Miracle!!! Thank you @taylorswift13. My grandpa was so excited!!" Another grandson named Chip wrote alongside his selfie with the singer, "When @taylorswift13 crashes your family Christmas…" Check out the video and photos below of Taylor Swift spending the day after Christmas in Missouri with Cyrus Porter, a 96-year-old World War II veteran with cancer, who also happens to be a big fan of the singer.

Bush Administration to Allow Forest Thinning
August 24, 2001
The Clinton-Gore administration cast aside decades of forest management policies in favor of an untested philosophy known as "eco-systems management" -- which worked out to mean letting forests exist "naturally" and manage themselves.
- So that administration decreased logging by 80 percent, put in place regulations banning roads and used federal and state species protection acts to declare off-limits great areas of land.
- In consequence, two-thirds of the U.S. Forest Service's trees -- close to 110 million acres -- are in deteriorating health or unhealthy.
- The forests are choked with deadwood and underbrush -- which, acting as fuel, caused fires which consumed 7.4 million acres and 800 structures last year.
- The General Accounting Office estimates it will take $12 billion to perform the necessary cleanup and restore the forests to health.
Now members of President Bush's cabinet have met with Western governors and come up with a plan to reverse the Clinton administration's policy of "benign" forest neglect, says the Wall Street Journal.
- Sick trees and hazardous fuel will be removed through a process called "thinning."
- Low-intensity prescribed burns will be allowed.
- There will be more coordination between Washington and the states -- with the states assuming a greater decision-making role.
However, the administration didn't endorse logging -- the most effective and efficient way to remove forest debris and prevent raging fires. And environmental groups want thinning defined in the narrowest way.

I sprayed the trap with WD-40, realized its scent might deter the beast, but I put in another handful of cabbage (raw) and it worked like a charm! This was after he had gotten out of the trap twice that morning....He had eaten all my seedling raised heirloom tomatoes (tomatoes are a FRUIT I think?) so I was not happy.

BRITAIN'S economy will be growing faster than any of the other G7 states by the middle of this year, a international economic thinktank has forecast.
The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development predicted an annualised GDP growth rate of 3.3% in both the first and second quarters of 2014.
The forecast was welcomed by Prime Minister David Cameron as an indication of the success of the coalition's economic policies.
Loading article content
"More evidence that long-term economic plan is working, as OECD says UK growth will be strongest in G7 this year," Mr Cameron said on Twitter.
The OECD prediction suggests a considerably healthier recovery than was expected by the Government's own independent forecasters, the Office for Budget Responsibility, at the time of last December's Autumn Statement, when they expected 2.4% growth in the UK for 2014 as a whole.
The UK GDP figures outstripped those for the US, which the OECD predicted would grow by 1.7% in the first quarter of 2014 and 3.1% in the second, and Germany, where forecast growth of 3.7% in the first quarter fell back to 2.5% in the second, as well as France (0.7% and 1% growth), Italy (0.7% and 0.1%) and Canada (0.5% and 2.4%). After growing by 4.8% in the first three months of 2014, Japan's GDP was predicted to shrink by 2.9% in the next three.
Presenting the OECD's Interim Economic Assessment in Paris, the organisation's deputy secretary-general and acting chief economist, Rintaro Tamaki said: "The gradual recovery in the advanced economies is encouraging, even if temporary factors have pushed down growth rates in the early months of this year, while the slowdown in emerging economies is likely to be a drag on global growth.
"With remaining fragilities in the euro area, and Japan only just beginning to confront its daunting fiscal challenges, it is critical that advanced and emerging economies alike recognise the growing importance of structural reforms to reinvigorate growth."

Scrap Chopper FAQ
Posted on Fri 04/23/10 in ChopTalk
What are scrap choppers and how do I know if my company needs one?
Scrap choppers are machines that eliminate the hazards of linear scrap (i.e. plastic or steel banding, baling wire, cable, edge trim, etc.) by chopping it into small, manageable cut lengths that are ready to be recycled. In order to decide if your company would benefit from a chopper, you must first evaluate how your company currently manages its scrap:
