WoW! We have had a really busy Christmas weekend! I unfortunately did not bring my camera to a couple of the events, but I did manage to capture our Christmas Day! Daniel woke up around 9:00a.m. on Christmas morning. We brought him in the living room in front of the couch you see, read him the very abbreviated story of Jesus' birth, and then let him open up his gifts. This first photo is him taking off towards it. Which we thought was going to be a big hit. . but as you can see, if you watch the video is that he was MORE interested in his OLD toys that it was difficult to get him to open up and play with the new ones!
Whooo! I guess he was tired from such an exciting morning!
In this photo below, he is playing with a car that he received the previous night at my dads house. As you all know that read my blog frequently is that my grandad died late last week, and it turns out that he picked out this toy in a magazine to give to Daniel on Christmas. It is such a sweet gift that we have this toy as a reminder of him. We will miss him, but in the mean time, Daniel is LOVING this little car!
Daniel's Great-Great Grandmother gave him some soft oatmeal cookies for Christmas, and we thought we would let him enjoy them for his Christmas breakfast. It was a nice Christmas morning.
I hope that you all were in awe of the birth of our Savior.
More to come soon!

Singapore Travel Blog› entry 1 of 2 › view all entries
The first consequence I suffered was trying to get a return plane ticket in less than 48 hrs before the flight which meant I could not use my credit card online. Fortunately I remembered that my first host, Elsa was a travel agent and she handled the mess for me. I got my ticket the day before I flew out, I had to pay in US dollars. I cashed them all at Yogyakarta The money changers were cheating me out of the exchange since it was a weekend.
With that out of the way I flew out, deciding to crash at a good friend's place, fellow TB, Foyan. Fully confident I had her address and phone number in hand as I filled out the Immigration card, only to find out that it was another potential host in Jakarta. Too late!
Good thing Liz' number was working and we were able to meet up after I attended a predominantly Filipino-American participant Every Nation Church at Amada Hotel.
I got to see a side of Orchard road and Clark Quay on foot as I'd never seen 4 years ago, I found it impressive and refreshing once again.
Next problem resolved was going online, hoping Foyan or another friend, Chris was online to rescue me from a potentially homeless night as Liz plane was flying out that eve.
Chris was luckily on invisible mode, gave me Foy's number which I called from Liz place to arrange for a meet up.
A homeless night was resolved.
This time I wanted to just chill around Singapore as I drained myself 4 years ago going highly touristy in 3 days, not fun.
The day I was flying out I was invited to lunch by a HS friend, Janna at her home with good old home cooked pasta. She and her hubby had a conveniently situated house 30 min away from the airport compared to Foy's at the other end of the map.
Staying way too long at Janna's place though resulted to a nerve wracking first time incident. I was left by my plane back.
I got there 20 min before flight time with 2 other passengers, none of the people at the airport or nearby counters could help us. Calling the number of the airline on my ticket through the other passenger's friend we found out in Bahasa that the only option was to book for the next afternoon, the ticket being non refundable as it was cheap.
Totally disoriented, without credits on my Indonesian number, I called Foyan, the only Singapore contact I had and asked for help. She helped me decide to look for other airlines flying out that evening.
After 3 hrs of going around crazily like a headless chicken, taking all the airbuses to all the terminals around Singapore airport, I was able to settle on the cheapest, earliest carrier out, Jetstar.
I was totally flustered with the surreal experience which I had to endure since I could not miss work early the next day.
I arrived crawling, shakingly exhausted at host's place close to midnight.
The most horrible and expensive overnight I've ever had. Such poor planning.

Cloning again to same SSD!
About a month ago I cloned my HDD to a Samsung 840 Pro SSD, but with holidays etc, etc I haven't inserted into my computer, but now a month later I have downloaded updates from Microsoft & several others CCleaner, Malwarebytes etc, could I clone my HDD again, or do I have to format & start again, Using Samsung Data Migration, I don't think there is a facility for incremental. As always your thoughts most appreciated.
|My System Specs

Cloning again or formatting and starting again is really the same thing with this software, AFAIK.
Doubt it has an incremental function.
It's designed to prepare the SSD and move your old drive to the SSD.
It may warn you that it will erase the data you already moved to the SSD.
If so, and you say to proceed, it will do what it did the first time. preparing the SSD and cloning the drive to the SSD. It will "erase" your previous cloning as part of the preparation.
Another option if you're uncomfortable with that, is just install the SSD as is, and redo the updates.

Thanks for that, I know when I first done the clone, I was told not to format the SSD, so it seems it will just overwrite, other than the time it took (approx 3 hours using USB-SATA lead), if I don't have time to fit before the weekend, I will overwrite, once again cheers. Is it really 04.20 in the morning over in Illinois, 10.20 am here in UK.

Raymond wants to star in his own graphic novel, and a family
This week on Wednesday's Child we are re-visiting Raymond (2000), whom we first featured back in 2013 with the Lakers. Now a teenager, Raymond remains active and likes riding bikes and is still into basketball.
The last few years saw some chapters of possible permanency for Raymond open and close, so we wanted to take another look and see how we could help Raymond reach the sometimes elusive permanency he seeks. And in taking a closer look, we discovered another interest of Raymond's – graphic arts and graphic novels. Raymond was more than happy to come along to Cal State LA's School of Fine Arts to meet up with television director and writer Eric Dean Seaton, the creator and writer of the graphic novel series "Legend of the Mantamaji."
Raymond can be a little shy at the onset so he was a little hesitant in showing us his artistic skills. But with the encouragement of Eric Dean Seaton and illustrator Brandon Palas, Raymond lent a hand at helping draw an original sketch of a Mantamaji.
The graphic novel series is about an ambitious District Attorney who discovers that he is part of a lost race of warriors and who must make peace with his past in order to discover the talents he possesses that will change the course of his future. In the same way, we are looking to find a family for Raymond that will help him make peace with his past while guiding him as he continues to discover the talents he possesses that will become some of the driving forces in his future.
Raymond is a determined young teen with a kind heart who currently has an eye on a career in the tech industry. Raymond shared with us that he would like to have a forever family that would provide unconditional love and support. Tune in to Wednesday's Child to watch Raymond lend a hand at bringing a Mantamaji to life and then do something heroic yourself!

Many groups, organizations whether corporate or private are established to help cancer patients and their families face many of the difficult and often overlooked aspects of cancer treatment and survival. It often is particularly difficult to cope with cancer treatment while trying to maintain the ordinary responsibilities of life. For instance traveling to and from cancer facilities for check-ups and treatments, are costly. Finding short or long term hotel rooms or housing arrangements for treatments is also costly. In many instances flying to and from a facility can be obtained at no cost through charitable organizations.
Note: We work hard to ensure that the following links are accurate but it can be difficult as other organizations make changes to their websites and pages we may be linked to. If you find an out-of-date link please let us know so we can update it. Thank you for your help in keeping this valuable resource current.

Skip to comments.Kerry: No Bloodbath In Vietnam After US Redeployment (What dimension is this guy in)
Posted on 07/19/2007 12:35:59 PM PDT by Chicos_Bail_Bonds
click here to read article
There are no "statute of limitations" for treason, for which he could have been tried in the 1970s and could yet, if a POTUS and the Congress had the will to acknowledge the truth and do it.
Good explanation. What a pity !!
That cartoon says it all.
One theory is that he received a BCD (no, not a big chicken dinner), only to be pardoned by then-president Carter - which would explain his reticence about his records.
I always thought there was something suspicious because he would not release his military records but always called on President Bush to release his, which I understand he did. What was it? Form 180????
So what you are saying is that SNOPES.com is wrong ....??? I've always believed the Swift Boat people ......
Thanks ...was wondering about them ...
Audie Murphy must be rolling over in his grave at Kerry's "decorations."
True, but "The Killing Fields" were in Cambodia. To Kerry a bloodbath means rounding up millions and executing them as happened in Cambodia, but not in Vietnam. Only tens of thousands were executed in May 1975. But the fact that the NVA didn't kill more people was the result of China's intervention in Vietnam.
I wish someone would make a CD of the appeases in Congress who cut off funding for the ARVN and then show the last helicopter leaving the U.S. Embassy followed by the bloodbath with Gigolo John saying in an inset that there was no bloodbath. The last scene should be Mitch McConnell saying, "Is this what the American people want for Iraq? It's what they will get if they support the Democrats' insistence we cut off all aid and withdraw from Iraq."
Right - last Memorial Day my dad rented an Audie Murphy movie ... he was a nice quiet guy .... I think it was called "Hell Is For Hero's" ... just remembered the scene where he was on this tank firing at the Germans ... my understanding is he's the most decorated enlisted man from WWII ... there's an officer too but don't know his name ....
And it was the Vietnamese who ended the rule of Pol Pot.
But that still doesn't change the fact that the Killing Fields would never have happened had we still been in Southeast Asia.
With all due respect, I think I can state with 100% certainty that those men of honor, the Swiftvets, true Heroes, all, were never intimidated or silenced, and America owes them all a huge debt of gratitude, both for their service in time of war and then many years later by bearing witness to a man without honor who was trying to become President. I shudder to think what calamities would have befallen our country had that been the outcome.
I can but wonder, if it doesn't, way down deep, past all the self-denial of his elephantine ego, gnaw at him, that he has forfeit a human being's greatest possession, his honor. I know that it would eat at me day and night, that, and knowledge of the fact that Karma has a way of creeping up on you sooner or later. Let's face it, kerry has a hugh, (and series) debt to pay off.
I may have implied that Kerry's vile Stalinist thuggery intimidated the Swiftvets. Fortunately, it didn't and that's why the Traitor isn't president now. The heroic Swiftvets deserve the everlasting gratitude of all patriotic Americans for unmasking this utterly vile, evil fake hero and traitor.
Kerry and his ilk, including Carter, are as guilty as anyone for the killing fields in Cambodia.
The current prime minister in Cambodia is former Khmer Rouge member who broke with them. He has related, more than once, that when the U.S. was still in Vietnam they, the Khmer Rouge believed they would always be no more than a rural guerrilla movement because "the west would never abandon the government of Cambodia".
Little did the Khmer Rouge leadership know just how far the treasonous American left would be allowed to go to aid their Communist allies.
I guess South Vietnamese don't count.
It is estimated that 528,000 were killed after the North took over in 1975. See my post #78.

A little footnote from our friend Wayne Horodowich. He was busy last weekend!
Hi Ryan,
As a side note, I did take first in the Downwind de Fuca race. I averaged 7 mph for 13.2 miles. Unfortunarely there was very little wind. It should have been called the "Lake" de Fuca race. The only categories that beat me were the high performance racing boats. I used my skin boat with a wing paddle. Now I can retire from that race.

So I have rummaged the internet for the perfect gift for the family that you just don't know that well and I think I have come up with quite possibly the perfect gift guide. And if you don't think this is perfect, than you can just kick rocks because I pulled my hair out and my eye started to twitch trying to figure out just what to get our family. The online gift guides just didn't cut it because I am not about to spend $50 on a pottery barn serving platter or $5 on a mug. All the gifts seemed outrageously expensive or cheap, there seemed to be no middle ground. Who comes up with these gift guides? I'm also not about the gift card life for the most part. I am a black Friday, cyber Monday, deal finding shopper. I like to get the absolute most for my money. So I can be like, yea that is normally a super expensive watch, but I got it on black Friday. Bam!
So here it is.... what to get your family.
Board Games:
Every year theres pretty awesome board games that come out. Last year it was pie in the face and this year It's Watch ya mouth! A board game is quite possibly my favorite gift to give and get. It's just so fun, and its something that you can use right away. I know we had a blast using pie in the face last year. This year I bought a couple of board games because I thought our family would love them. They're also a great gifts for people who have game nights a lot.
Funny Books
Foodie sets
For the people in your life who love to cook or just love food or you just don't know what to get but they have a kitchen. Here it is! I love little gifts that go together, and who doesn't need a good cook book? You can do a little cast iron with a recipe book, a book about salt with a salt sampler, or cookie stamps with a book about sugar cookies. I'm sure the combinations could go on (like a cake pan and bread book), but these are some of my favorites.
Little Gifts
I enjoy receiving little gifts, and I think they're fun to put together. These are some of my favorite go to, funny candles, shaped soap (you can even DIY), mittens, and a mug for good measure.
Step Counter
I share this because I kept rattling my brain on what to get my mom this year for Christmas, when it finally hit me! A step counter. I know that she would really like it and It's useful. I thought Target was having a crazy sale but Amazon is having an even better one. Theres a step counter for every technology level, so this would even be a great gift for your grandma who might not be as good at technology or even for someone who is!
So here is my 2016 gift guide! My general rule is I don't like to get someone something that I myself wouldn't want. So I hate giving lotion sets or perfume because I personally don't like that stuff, and I feel bad that someone is wasting their money on something I probably won't use. So I hope this keeps at least one persons eye from twitching. Since it took me so long to come up with it, I felt like I had to share it. I will also mention that some of our family used Elfster this year which was awesome, and super helpful!
Happy shopping, and may the odds be ever in your favor!

Dealer Selection Receive your free dealer pricing information by completing your contact information! The McLaren P1 GTR concept was officially revealed at a private event at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance. Based on the McLaren P1 street car, the track-only P1 GTR gets a power bump from 903 hp to 986 hp as well as other track-focused performance bits.Track-only updates for the McLaren P1 GTR concept include a recalibrated drivetrain with an ERS-style push-to-pass system, dramatic bodywork with a large fixed wing, a fixed ride height, and racing slicks.Aerodynamic updates include an 80-mm wider front track with flared wheel arches, a more aggressive GT-style front splitter and radiator ducts redesigned for better cooling. The active aerodynamic flaps from the street car remain. McLaren says the bodywork has been "shrink-wrapped" aft of the front wheels to channel air from around the wheel wells. An aerodynamic blade has been added along the bottom edge of the doors and the front of the rear wheels "to clean up" air from the front tires and improve airflow under the rear of the car as well as channel air into the radiator.Around back, the McLaren P1 GTR gains a large fixed carbon fiber wing with uprights mounted to the back of the rear panel. A hydraulically operated Drag Reduction System (DRS) adjusts the angle of the rear wing to boost performance or downforce. With the absences of the street car's height adjustable rear wing and associated hardware, the rear bodywork aft of the engine compartment has also been massaged for better airflow. Other changes include repositioned side mirrors for better visibility and reduced drag. Extended channels on the trailing edge of the door direct more cooling air into the engine bay. A large rear carbon fiber diffuser helps smooth out the air below the car.The redesigned centrally mounted exhaust is made from Inconel and titanium alloy and is said to "further emphasize" the 3.8-liter twin turbo V-8's sound. With its fixed ride height, the McLaren P1 GTR concept sits lower than the standard P1's adjustable suspension. The race suspension hunkers down over a set of lightweight center-locking wheels measuring 19 x 10.5 inches up front and 19 x 13 inches in back and wrapped by a set of Pirelli racing slicks. An onboard air jacking system simplifies tire changes.The exterior is finished in an orange and silver livery with the number 01, which harks back to the original McLaren F1 GTR chassis #01R that won the 1995 24 Hours of Le Mans.Included with the McLaren P1 GTR is a bespoke driver program custom tailored to the individual owner to drive the car at its potential. The program includes driver training, human performance, and the McLaren racing simulator as well as the full support and resources including a support team from the McLaren Technology Center.Source: McLaren Share this article in: Facebook Twitter Google Plus Email 986-HP McLaren P1 GTR Concept Revealed at Pebble Beach /8 Advertisement to Skip 1 | 8 2 | 8 3 | 8 4 | 8 5 | 8 6 | 8 7 | 8 8 | 8

The slasher flick is an essay about the greatest infrastructure project in modern times.
This month, CityLab will be rounding up essential scary movies about cities—films that speak to the anxieties of urban life, showcase urban settings to terrifying effect, or forever change the way you see the cities they depict.
Psycho is the indispensable American horror flick. From the creeping pace to the shrieking violins to the sensational twist, the movie set the template for everything that followed. Even the title resonates: psy•cho, a jarring, slashing gesture of a word that summons a nightmare.
It's fitting that such a classic pulses with an anxiety that's essential to the American character—not the Freudian rot of Norman Bates's mother-love, but a quieter dread. Released in 1960, the movie takes place in the shadow of the highway, in a place that progress left behind, at a time when the country was seized by the urgency of the future.
"Here we have a quiet little hotel," says Alfred Hitchcock, in what appears to be a trailer for his 1960 movie. "Tucked away off the main highway, and as you see, perfectly harmless looking. When in fact, it has now become known as the scene of a crime."
In the video short, Hitchcock tours Psycho's campus (trailers have changed a lot since the '60s). "This motel also has, as an adjunct, an old house, which is, if I may say so, a little more sinister looking, less innocent than the hotel itself," Hitchcock says, leading the viewer to the Victorian manse that has come to be known (mistakenly) as the Bates Motel.
Psycho starts far away from here. The beginning of the film finds Marion, played by Janet Leigh, engaged in a mid-afternoon tryst with her lover, Sam. He wants to be with her, publicly, the way she wants, not hooking up in hotel siestas. But he can't, he says: Sam can't marry her because he has too many debts from his father and ex-wife. ("You make respectability sound disrespectful," Marion tells him.) Dejected, Marion returns to her office, where a client drops off a down payment for a property—$40,000 in cash. Seeing the money as the answer to all her problems, Marion grabs the stuffed envelope and runs, fleeing Phoenix for California, where Sam awaits.
As she drives down the interstate, Marion guesses at all the ways she could get caught. She drives all night, imagining the questions that investigators would be asking about her back in Phoenix. Her mind unravels as the road rolls on. Bleary-eyed, Marion turns off the highway, driving through rain and darkness until she arrives at the remote Bates Motel.
Psycho came out just a few years into the rapid expansion of America's highways authorized by President Dwight Eisenhower. The Interstate Highway System unleashed the American economy, giving freedom to people who might not otherwise easily travel from, say, Phoenix to Los Angeles, and expanding the market for automobile manufacturers. Interstate highways also transformed the geography of the built environment. The new infrastructure moved markets from Main Street to highway interchanges. According to Interpreting the Interstates: How Highways Changed Rural America's Sense of Place, a documentary project from the University of Vermont, the effects were just as pronounced in the places the highways didn't go:
Most significantly, the coming of the Interstate Highway dramatically affected older, general-access roads. . . . Traveled at lower speeds and lined by businesses with direct access to the roadway, such roads were characterized by distinct vernacular architecture (think roadside cottage colonies) that connected travelers to the communities through which they passed. The construction of Interstate Highways fundamentally altered this pattern of commercial development as long-distance travelers abandoned those former routes, leaving once-vibrant towns fading into obscurity and busy roadside stores and restaurants struggling to make ends meet.
"We have 12 vacancies," Norman Bates tells Marion upon her arrival. "Twelve cabins, twelve vacancies. They moved away the highway."
"I thought I'd gotten off the main road," Marion says.
"I knew you must have. Nobody ever stops here anymore unless they've done that."
Marion left the main road the moment she stole the money. Or before that, when she became enthralled with a man who had no intention of marrying her. (That's another slasher-flick trope established by Psycho, the ingénue punished for her moral failings.) In Norman Bates, Marion meets a twisted version of the family values she had herself subverted. The perversion of Psycho reflects an anxiety—social, economic, and spiritual—about the places that were forgotten.

For a holiday in Egypt that's out of the ordinary, consider one of our unique tours that combine the highlights of ancient Egypt with a special dawn visit to Abu Simbel to witness a true spectacle. Our Sun Festival trips coincide with the birthday (21 October) and coronation day (21 February) of King Ramses II when the temple's inner sanctum is illuminated by the sun's ray. With incredible architectural precision, Ramses II had his entire temple carefully angled and oriented for this precise event. read more
The architectural brilliance of the ancient Egyptians: The original Abu Simbel temple was built in the 13th century BC by King Ramses II. With four separate statues depicting Ramses at various stages of his adult life at the temple's entrance, it's an impressive monument before one even enters. Carved out of the mountainside, the temple's inner sanctum also has four statues; three of which - Amun-Re, Re-Herakhte and Ramses the god - are illuminated by the sun's rays twice a year on the sun festival, whilst the statute of Ptah (the god of darkness) remains in the shadows. But the wonders don't stop there. In the late 1960s, the shoreline of Lake Nasser was in danger of eroding the temple foundations and damaging it permanently. Engineers relocated the temple further up the bank, which means it now aligns with the sun a day later than it did in Ramses' day.

The tour was great specially with our tour guide aalam was fantastic i hope to travel soon with you in anther tour"
Egypt: Safe & Awe-Inspiring! This tour was a highlight among many years and many countries travelled. Our guide, Momo, brought the tour to another level with his historical knowledge, guiding expertise and fantastic personality! Right from the beginning, Momo worked skillfully to bond our group of 14 people together, as he was acutely aware that the social dynamics of a group can make such a difference in the experience of the travellers. In fact, 1-month post-tour, we are all still in contact with each other and Momo, on a regular basis. On more occasions than I can count, Momo far exceeded his responsibilities as a tour guide to help us, educate us and even entertain us, long after the tour day was over. Momo gave us many wonderful opportunities to experience the authentic culture of the Egyptian people, in a way that my husband and I simply could not have done on our own. The ancient historical sites are incredibly awe-inspiring. Don't miss out on Abu-Simbel, which is an add-on and make sure to pay the extra fee to access the tombs at Valley of the Kings - these were the best highlights of the trip! We also paid extra to access the mummy rooms at the museum in Cairo, which was definitely worth the money. Also, we ended our tour by going to the Red Sea for a few days, which was stunning. FYI: markets are hard to navigate on your own and often don't feel worth the hassle - and I'm an avid market seeker. Dress for Women: in Cairo, cover your shoulders and legs to avoid unwanted attention (long dresses or pants). Outside of Cairo, it is fine to wear capris or medium - long shorts. I would avoid sleeveless tops or tight clothing. At the Red Sea, anything goes. Finally and most importantly, Egypt is SAFE. Media paints a very different picture of the safety and stability of the country and the people themselves. Many people gave us concerned looks and comments when we booked a trip to Egypt and we weren't entirely sure what to expect either. At no point did we ever feel unsafe, even when we left the tour and were on our own. Unfortunately, Egypt's economy has suffered greatly, due to this misinformation. Overall, I would recommend Egypt, Momo and On The Go Tours to anyone!
Happy Travels! "
Haytham and the Egypt unplugged tour was an unbelievable exposure and education on Egypt and all that the country has to offer. The combination of organized sites in addition to the personalized touches added to the daily outings made for a wholesome and welcoming experience. Our tour guide was more than that, he was professional, incredibly devoted to his country and its history and beyond knowledgeable. He was available for assistance day and night and even helped us after the official tour was over. I would recommend on the go tours to all my friends and family and we will be visiting again.

Drawing upon data published in a variety of scholarly journals, monographs in education, cultural studies, media studies, and libraries and information studies, as well as their own research findings, these authors shatter some of the popular myths about reading and offer a cogent case for the library's vital role in the life of a reader. By providing a road map to research findings on reading, reader-response, audiences, genres, the value of popular culture, the social nature of reading, and the role of libraries in promoting literacy and reading, this guide offers a clear rationale for making pleasure reading a priority in the library and in schools.
The authors assert that reading for pleasure is as vital as ever; and that it is, and should be, woven into the majority of activities librarians consider fundamental: reference, collection building, provision of leisure materials, readers' advisory services, storytelling programs, adult literacy programs, and the like. "Reading Matters" covers myths about reading, the boy problem, reading and identity, how readers select books, and reading as a social activity. An essential resource for library administrators and personnel, the book will help them convey a message about the importance of reading to grant-funding agencies and others. It contains powerful proof that can be used to justify the establishment, maintenance, and growth of fiction (and other pleasure reading) collections, and of readers' advisory services. It is also of interest to LIS faculty who wish to establish/maintain courses in readers' advisory, and can be used as supplemental reading in these classes. Finally, it is a great model and aide for additional research on this topic.

Business Sales
Who are Beardsley Theobalds?
We are a long established UK business transfer agency specialising in the industrial, commercial and service sectors.
• We have considerable experience in helping people buy and sell companies, partnerships and sole trader businesses.
• Although we specialise in selling businesses such as automotive, building & construction, distribution, engineering, equipment hire, horticulture, manufacturing, marine & leisure, professional services, transport & haulage, wholesaling, etc. as well as agencies of various types and a very wide range of services and specialist businesses, we are also well known for handling the more unusual business types which most agents do not handle.
• We offer a personal, professional and confidential service to vendors and buyers.
• Our reputation is for professionalism – particularly in valuation, the marketing of businesses and in negotiations.
Why do people choose us?
• Our valuation and advice is entirely without obligation.
• We undertake a wide range of marketing activities to promote the sales of our vendor clients' businesses.
• We do not ask for a marketing budget whether up-front or in any other way. We operate only on a no sale no fee basis.
• We guarantee to continuously promote the sale of a business without budget or restriction (via regional and national advertising as well as on the internet) until it is sold – we believe this may be unique.
• We give regular feedback on what is happening while we are trying to sell a business.
• We offer a high level of personal service to both sellers and buyers – and the degree of confidentiality required.
• Our knowledge, experience and expertise is available to all our clients - from people who enjoy the personal approach to business.
• We understand the needs and concerns of both buyers and sellers, so we are ready to help at every step along the way.
• We are always prepared to go the extra mile to help clients achieve their objectives - perhaps not such a common trait among companies in today's market! We care.
Is your business fit for sale?
• Advice to business owners is always – plan your exit from the business well in advance. Groom the business to maximise its saleability and value. Choose the timing with care.
• Beardsley Theobalds has established a joint initiative – Beardsley Confidential Portfolio - in order to deal specifically with the issue of enhancing a business's saleability and value.
• Of course, where it is appropriate, Beardsley Theobalds will later be pleased to handle the sale of the business, but this is not a requirement. If it is deemed more appropriate to use another agent, for example if the business is not one of the types of business we normally handle, that is not a problem. The development work and the subsequent selling of the business are separate activities – though, of course, they would be co-ordinated if Beardsley Theobalds may eventually be instructed to sell the business.

Found a business and want independent valuation advice?
• Wonder whether it's sensibly priced?
• Not sure what offer to make?
• Need some hard-nosed, street-wise advice?
• If it is not a business where we are acting for the vendor, we are happy to place our experience at your disposal. Our advice will be entirely neutral and exclusively based on 25 years of valuing and selling businesses – a formulaic approach it is not! You may find this service helpful in other circumstances. Perhaps you have a possible private buyer for your business but are unsure what sort of deal you should be satisfied with. Maybe there are changes in shareholdings by members of your family or staff to be determined. If you are undertaking a financial planning exercise, you will need a realistic opinion of the value of your business.

The Rev. Charles Kamano will take a major step on his journey that began under radical Islam when he celebrates his first Mass as an Episcopal priest Sunday at the Church of the Holy Spirit.
Born a Muslim in Sierra Leone, Kamano converted to Roman Catholicism and was ordained in that church, and he became an Episcopal priest in a ceremony at the Church Street parish on Thursday.
Kamano's attraction to Christianity began when he persuaded his father to allow him to attend a local Catholic school, even though the elder Kamano was a strict member of the ultra-conservative Wahhabi sect of Islam.

AUSTIN - The Texas Department of Public Safety has decided to uphold the preliminary decision to fire Trooper Brian Encinia, the officer who conducted Sandra Bland's traffic stop.
Encinia requested a meeting with the director to discuss his termination, as is allowed by the department's termination proceedings. That meeting took place on February 5, 2016.
After consideration, DPS Director Steven McCraw issued a letter of final termination.
Encinia may appeal the director's final determination to the Texas Public Safety Commission – the five-member oversight board for DPS. Should he appeal to the PSC, the commission may then set aside or affirm the discharge following a public hearing.
