Which bars (and/or restaurants) in Brooklyn south of Williamsburg/Greenpoint/Bushwick are the best for their variety and quality of Belgian beers??
I know that there are great places in Williamsburg (and Manhattan for that matter) but I'm wondering specifically about the rest of Brooklyn (esp. Carroll Gardens, Ft Greene, Boerum Hill, DUMBO, Park Slope, Prospect Heights, etc - but other neighborhoods too!). Surely there are some good places!

AP Shaco, where art thou boxes of rape?
This is hands down the most effective build if you are a lover of the AP Shaco Ganker. I Love playing AP Shaco solo around the map, placing 9 boxes in the enemies jungle and lure them to the boxes for easy kills. Plus with this build, your E will deal unreal damage (it take 100% of you AP), It's like AP TF and his annoying cards only you can Q and E to your opponent and last hit him with ease.
+ with this much CD and Lichbane, you can run and hide with ease, place boxes for your next ambush and wait for another idiot to pass right by you, thinking he can one hit you out of greed when you have less than 100 health.
I don't have a long story of how to play as AP Shaco, this is a build for the well trained ganker in 2011.
Apples United
Find me on EU Servers, then get raped by the boxes.

North Yorkshire Police Authority freeze amount we pay
12:35pm 13th February 2012
(Updated 1:09pm 13th February 2012)
The Police Authority in North Yorkshire have decided to freeze the amount of council tax we pay for the service.
Today it made the decison on whether to raise the cost by three percent.
The Police will use a Govenment grant to help them reach the savings without taking more cash from our pockets.
Statement from the NYPA:
North Yorkshire Police Authority has today set the policing budget for 2012/13 at £138.535m – a reduction of almost £2m from the current year.
In setting the budget, members of the North Yorkshire Police Authority decided to not increase the police precept – the amount residents pay towards policing as part of their council tax. By not increasing the precept, members instead decided to accept the one-off grant of £1.84m that has been offered by the Government for 2012/13.
Commenting on the decision, Chairman of the North Yorkshire Police Authority Jane Kenyon said:
"There has a lot of debate about whether or not the Authority should accept the council tax freeze grant or increase the precept.
"Today's decision means that we are not placing any additional burden on our communities to continue providing the best possible policing service that we can but, it could mean a small shortfall in the baseline budget in a couple of years.
"However, we are confident that the incoming Police and Crime Commissioner will be able to manage that shortfall, should it occur.
"With North Yorkshire currently the safest place in England to live, we think we are getting the balance right and we will strive to continue to do so."

Veterans History Project
The University of Central Florida has been participating in the Library of Congress Veterans History Project since the project was announced by Jessica Souva, a program manager from the Library of Congress, at the 2009 annual Diversity Breakfast. She shared that the VHP is looking at new ways to partner with universities, particularly in Florida where they are laying groundwork for a pilot program – the first of its kind in the nation – aimed at gathering the oral histories of Florida's veterans.
UCF has taken on the challenging responsibility with the project that began during the Fall Semester 2010. Dr. Valarie G. King, former Director of the Office of Diversity Initiatives (Diversity and Inclusion), was the UCF VHP coordinator. Others involved with this project include Dr. Martin Dupuis, Assistant Dean of the Burnett Honors College, Dr. Rosalind Beiler, Chair of the History Department, James Middlekauff, Assistant University Registrar of Veteran Services, and faculty and staff members to implement the project in a comprehensive manner, throughout UCF. Veterans' narratives, historic data, press resources, and information on the Veterans History Project can be visiting the Library of Congress' Veteran's History Project website.

> Travel In SH
> Hangzhou
> Hatsune
Add:No. 100-2, Qingsha Guzhen Park, Lishui Rd
Tel:0571-8802 7588
While most Japanese restaurants boast of serving authentic Japanese cuisine, Hatsune does not. Instead it offers California-style sushi, reflecting the tastes of its owner who hails from there.
Hatsune has its headquarters in Beijing and opened its Hangzhou branch near the Grand Canal in 2008.
After Hatsune won many votes for best sushi in Beijing, Gongshu District government in the north of the city invited it to Hangzhou.
Chef Guo Hongliang, who has worked with Japanese cuisine for almost 20 years, says the main difference between Hatsune's American-style sushi and traditional sushi is the use of avocado.
"Adding avocado to sushi is not for taste, but nutrition," he says.
Hatsune is located in an old renovated building, and the outside epitomizes traditional Chinese. The inside though, while built as a Beijing-style quadrangle dwellings, is ultra modern, with a sprinkle of Japanese thrown in. It resembles Asian restaurants in Western countries.
Bestsellers are butterfly roll and Motorola roll. The butterfly roll gets its name from its presentation. Ingredients include eel, crab roe, avocado and shrimp.
The Motorola roll was dreamt up by a foreign customer in Beijing who worked at Motorola.
He asked the chef to make him sushi comprising both raw and cooked tuna, crab meat and roe, as well as avocado. The result became one of Hatsune's signature dishes.
"Techniques are similar, and what really matters is the quality of raw food," says Guo, explaining that the above-average prices at Hatsune reflect this commitment to quality.
The first floor houses a sushi bar, while the second floor has a hall and three private teppanyaki rooms. The largest even has an area where you can sprawl out on sofas after a binge of Japanese goodies.
The menu also features traditional Japanese dishes such as tempura and grilled beef.
All of this adds up to a great dining experience. Prices are around 150 yuan (US$24) per person.

New credit union branches to open up in Johnson, Highland Park
Before the end of November, students at Johnson High will be able to bank within the walls of the school.
Hiway Federal Credit Union has just recently announced construction of student branches within two St. Paul public high schools.
Student branches will be located at Johnson Senior High School and Highland Park Senior High School.
Small kiosks with an office will be installed. Construction has already begun with an anticipated grand opening in November.

Historic Preservation Committee, neighbors oppose the demolitions
It may be goodbye for some roughed-up historic homes in Dayton's Bluff.
Despite pushback from the city's Heritage Preservation Commission, St. Paul's Housing and Redevelopment Authority will pursue the demolition of seven historic homes in the Dayton's Bluff Heritage Preservation District.
The HRA will pursue the demolition to shed property that it says is too far gone or requires too much subsidy to save.
Four charged in burglary-turned-murder
Police have made arrests and charges have been filed in the slaying of Sarah Anne Wierstad, 24, who was killed outside her apartment after getting off of work Sunday, Oct. 18.
She had arrived home ready to see her 5-year-old daughter, but was greeted by three men burglarizing her apartment.
Two charged in gang-related drive-by murder
24-year-old Emmett Shaw died following a drive-by shooting on the Earl Street bridge over Phalen Boulevard. Shaw was killed on Thursday, Oct. 15, while walking with a group of four other young men who were also shot at, but not struck.
On Wednesday, Oct. 21, about 75 residents turned out to call for peace and security in the lower East Side in the wake of a rash of homicides in the area. The group marched down Minnehaha Avenue from the Hamm's Brewery to Weida Park. (Patrick Larkn/Review)
Crowd condemns spate of gun violence
In the wake of five homicides in East Side neighborhoods in the past month, community members gathered to perform a peaceful march to decry the violence, and show community solidarity.
So, gathering in the golden hours of the day on Wednesday, Oct. 14, a group of about 75 marched from the old Hamm's Brewery buildings on Minnehaha to Weida Park, chanting calls for peace and justice.
In its third attempt at shedding vacant lots from its inventory, St. Paul's Housing and Redevelopment Authority have listed 27 vacant parcels around the city for sale.
Thanks to some seed money from the Knight Foundation, Metropolitan State University should have a community-friendly state of the art digital theater in place before next summer hits.
The East Side's own Twin Cities Academy High School, it would seem, is at the top of the heap for performance rankings in the Twin Cities.
Police pledge ramped-up patrols
With three shooting deaths in two different lower East Side neighborhoods, police say they are stepping up patrols nearby.
"We as a police department are fed up," said Steve Linders, spokesperson for the St. Paul Police Department. Linders said residents in the Railroad Island and Dayton's Bluff neighborhoods, where the incidents took place, will see an increase in patrolling officers in the wake of the incidents.

Food growers keep traditions going while learning new methods
Hoping to give Hmong food growers a leg up, a St. Paul-based organization called the Hmong American Farmers Association is helping farmers find new ways of selling their fresh produce and new paths to economically fruitful farming.
South of the urban core, past the suburbs and out into the lesser-known land of Vermillion Township, a group of Hmong farmers, many of them East Siders, are hard at work as many as seven days a week during the growing season.

Christians in the Middle Ages expressed and strengthened their faith through public rituals, such as celebration of the Eucharist, and personal devotions conducted in a private chapel, a monastic cell, or simply a corner of one's home. Individuals sought to deepen their faith through study, meditation, and prayer, which might be guided by psalters or private prayer books (54.1.2; 1998.179). Images, usually modest in scale, helped in these spiritual endeavors, since they made tangible the object of devotional practices. Reflecting the wealth and rank of the individual, such images were produced in every medium, from vellum to gold, ivory to clay. The fervor with which individual Christians practiced their faith often took a toll on the objects that aided their devotion. Owners might repeatedly kiss and caress them, wearing away details carved into the surface and obliterating the features of holy figures (1987.23).
In Byzantium, private devotion involved the use of icons. Early icons were often portraits of Christ, the Virgin, prophets, or saints. By the eleventh century, the appearance of icons changed, incorporating more narrative elements and expressing poignant emotions (63.68.1-.13). These changes encouraged the worshipper to forge a personal relationship to the holy figure or enter into the narrative as if actually present at the event. The increasing interest in the lifelike qualities of the icon and its ability to elicit an emotional response from the viewer is seen in Michael Psellos' description of an icon of the Crucifixion: "But as the [divine] force moved the painter's hand … he showed Christ living at his last breath … at once living and lifeless."
In western Europe, a form of spirituality that emphasized the emotional involvement of the faithful emerged by 1300. Believers were encouraged to contemplate events from the life of Christ, the Virgin, or the saints, as if they were present. The Franciscan author of the extremely popular and influential Meditations on the Life of Christ interrupts the narrative of the Nativity to address his readers:
Kiss the beautiful little feet of the infant Jesus who lies in the manger and beg his mother to offer to let you hold him a while. Pick him up and hold him in your arms. Gaze on his face with devotion and reverently kiss and delight in him.
Sculptures of the Virgin and Child were among the most popular images for private devotion and they frequently emphasize the tender relationship between the mother and her child. Images of the Virgin with the dead Christ, by contrast, invited the viewer to ponder their suffering (2001.78).

Homer Simpson has tried nearly every pursuit under the sun, from astronaut to mayor to monorail conductor - not to mention his full-time gig as nuclear safety inspector.
But just in time for the 2010 Winter Olympic Games, Homer will try his hand at curling, one of Canada's most popular, if misunderstood, sports.
Producers for the Fox hit The Simpsons knew they wanted to create an Olympic-themed episode. When a writer suggested curling, producers believed they'd struck comedic gold.
"I thought it was perfect," said Al Jean, the show's head executive producer.
In the episode that will air in February, 2010, Homer and Marge join a mixed curling team. In classic Simpsons fashion, the team ends up representing the United States at the Vancouver Olympic Games.
Homer, as usual, is a deadweight on the team. But Marge is a sweeping star.
"It turns out Marge is very good because she does so much sweeping during her daily life," Mr. Jean said with a laugh.
The episode ends in a momentous victory, as team Simpson out-brooms the Swedes, earning a demonstration sport gold medal.
"This is the most exciting thing that's ever happened in curling!" a cartoon version of sports broadcaster Bob Costas declares after their triumph.
Veteran Canadian curling champion Randy Ferbey said he is glad to see curling in the prime-time limelight, especially in the United States, where it is just gaining ground.
"I think it's wonderful," he said. "I'm sure they're going to have fun with it."
The U.S. has only 16,000 registered curlers, compared to one million in Canada, said Terry Kolesar, director of communications at USA Curling.
But the sport's popularity south of the border has been steadily growing since its designation as an official Olympic sport in 1998.
"I think that people are starting to understand the uniqueness and beauty of the game," said Jason Smith, a member of the U.S. 2010 Olympic curling team.
Ms. Kolesar said part of the sport's appeal is that it's easy enough for the average, middle-aged Joe. Make that Homer or Marge.
But are they concerned that the writers may have taken some cheap shots at curling's expense?
"I think any publicity we can get for the sport is nothing but a good thing," Mr. Smith said.
This is not the Simpsons' first time in Canada. The family visited Toronto in 2002, and, in 2005, Homer crossed the border into Manitoba in search of cheap prescription drugs.

Beech Mountain Skiing is awesome, at the highest mountain in the southern U.S.
Only 1.5 hours from Bristol Motor Speedway, the World's Fastest 1/2 mile, & is available for spring and summer races!
We rented this home for a ski getaway for family of 6 adults. It was perfect for us; location, space, and amenities! Additionally, Gail was very patient and responsive to our questions and needs. It is a 1-2 min drive to Ski Beech. The home is well equipped(we cooked full meals). The only drawback would be that it is slightly dated. However, We would definitely recommend and rent again.
We had a wonderful time at the cabin for MLK weekend. It is a great location, especially for skiing in that Ski Beech is almost walkable from the cabin. The cabin itself was clean, spacious, and comfortable.There are a number of restaurants nearby, but after a day on the slopes we preferred to cook in and enjoy the fire to read by and watch movies on the big screen TV. The owners were very helpful and easy to work with and they had the driveway plowed before we got there (which was a must after 14" of snow the night before). We thought it was actually nicer than the pictures. We would definately recommend this property and would return.

Mils to move to Zebre
Connacht's marquee signing Mils Muliaina will move to Italian club Zebre in the summer.
The 34 year-old arrived out West as the first All Black to be signed by the province on a one-year deal.
The international centurion season has been interrupted by injury and he has been limited to ten appearances, nine of them from the start.
"Even in one quick year, Mils has made a lasting contribution to Connacht Rugby," said coach Pat Lam.
"His influence on and off the field with our young squad has been invaluable and I know the players, particularly the backs, have benefited from his vast experience.
"A big part of our growth as a team this season has been around challenging each other to reach higher standards and Mils was massive in driving this.
"He has really embraced the Connacht culture and I know the supporters have enjoyed meeting and getting to know him."

Emergence, The Spirit, and the Trap of the Klatch
Meaning, people under the age of 40. Sigh. I'm not even young by Presbyterian standards anymore.
There are articles about it in Presby magazines, and on the Presby website. Folks are eager to embrace this new movement. Of course, given the rapidity with which Presbyterians do things, this new excitement more or less coincides with the death of the emergent movement.
Truth be told, we're not a particularly lively critter lately. There's some puttering around on the presbymergent Facebook page, and a few meetings of good hearted fellow travelers. But the contagious energy and passion that drives and grows a movement? I wish I saw it, but I don't.
Where I still struggle with emergence, in either it's generic or presby manifestations, is in two particular areas.
First, that I just can't seem to find anyone else who's willing to write or say: emergence is a manifestation of the transforming power of the Holy Spirit. Yeah, I know, progressives and mainliners get all stammery and awkward when that topic comes up. We'd rather talk about interpretive frameworks and the dynamics of community and a relational church. Those things are nice and comfy and process-oriented. But somewhere, someone needs to be saying: "I've had a dream. I'm feeling a calling. I feel God moving in this." They don't need to be getting all glassy-eyed and Benny Hinn about it. We're just not that thing, thank the Maker.
But if this isn't about God working something new to transform and further our understanding of the Way Jesus lived and taught, then it's...well...not really worth paying attention to. It's just another incursion of cultural expectations into the life of the church. Yeah, it comes out of liberal academe. But if that's all it is, it's of no more spiritual value than the cultural phenomenon of the megachurch, and with considerably less influence. Maybe I haven't read enough. Maybe the forty presbymergentish bloggers whose feeds feed me just haven't gotten around to saying it or pointing me towards someone else who does. I'll keep listening.
Second, and related to the first, if the idea of relationality and the transforming power of Spirit-lead dialogue is to have any impact on the church, then it needs to be expressed in a very different way. Best I can tell, emergent conversations tend to be conversations among the like-minded. Little circles of young and youngish progressives gather to suck down Starbucks and light candles and read Rumi and do drum circles and talk amongst themselves about how crappy and abusive the rest of the church is. Sometimes, those same progs go and klatch with older progs in crumbling mostly-empty buildings. Candles are once again lit. It's all very cozy and safe. It's a fallout shelter for progressive Christians in a megachurch-nuked America.
But transformation only occurs when you graciously engage with the Other. That means making a point of getting out of our comfortable klatches and pushing outward into ones that aren't quite as easy. Can we share the value of Spirit-driven relationality with that fundamentalist blogger? Or that atheist with a chip on his shoulder? Do we reach out to that young Korean who's burned out on the relentless demands of the church she grew up in? Or that soldier who has returned from war with a shattered faith? Or that mom who goes to a Big Parking Lot church because it's kids program is a well-oiled machine that fits well with little Tyler's soccer schedule? Or the blue-haired matriarch of that little country church with 22 members?
Entering into dialog with folks who are Not Us in this era of social media is not logistically hard. Just spiritually challenging. Those conversations require us to speak our truths and have them tested. They require us to listen to others, and to speak the grace that we know in ways that might speak to them. Our faith does not ask us to limit our conversations to those who are us. Or to only value and show grace to those who are like us.
In fact, we're required to do exactly the opposite.

"First, that I just can't seem to find anyone else who's willing to write or say: emergence is a manifestation of the transforming power of the Holy Spirit."ReplyDelete
OK, I'll say that. My church is, was and is, emergent before the term came into existence.
But like any movement of the Holy Spirit, becoming self conscious about it is to throw cold water on it. The Holy Spirit is not into navel gazing.
Is it progressive? Well, its not conservative or Fundamentalist. It is service oriented. Worship is uncomplicated. And we waste little time trying to draw a line between who is in and who is out. As far as we are concerned, if you walked in the door it's because the Holy Spirit invited you, and that is all the calling card you need.
@ Jodie: Thank you for being willing to say it. I agree with you that being grasping about the Spirit's movement is totally counterproductive, particularly if you get possessive about it and declare that somehow the Spirit belongs totally to you and is defined totally by you.ReplyDelete
Being moved by a servant ethic is also important. The Spirit is not about the Me. It is about the Us, being transformed and brought into caring relationship with one another. But it goes past the "Us," particularly if that "Us" becomes a reason to hate others.
I think what's important is not being "self-conscious" about it, but being deeply aware of it. I tend to see obsessing about rules and structures and doctrines as navel-gazing. I also think contemplation and meditation and becoming deeply present in that transcendent grace that tears down the barriers between our souls constitutes a vital element of any movement of the Spirit.
It's also important to share that by speaking it. Recognizing the limits of language, it is still an authentically human way to share something wonderful with another person. How else are insights shared? I think the presence of the transforming grace of our loving Creator is something to utter an occasional wild and joyous yawp about.
While this is off topic I see the same rules messing up starting immigrant congregations and multiethnic congregations. Tully Memorial is gaining more African Immigrants quickly, mainly because we have a pastor from Togo who does a worship service in Ewe, the local language in Togo. We also have joint services that includes both languages.ReplyDelete
But the presbytery won't accept my fellow pastor unless he takes all of the ordination exams. Yet he comes from a member denomination in WARC and has a DMin from McCormick! So we pay him as an outside contractor.
We see the Holy Spirit at work in calling us to be a multicultural congregation. Not easy work but important and often fun.

Consequently, Mike and Cynthia must pay the price for betraying the organizations they had once faithfully served. Labeled a terrorist by the very people she used to work with, Cynthia faces a personal and professional crisis.

A successful small business offers the rewards of earning income far in excess of a salary, the freedom to be in control of your own destiny, social status and the satisfaction of providing jobs for others. However, everything always seems easier than it really is, don't let your dream turn into a nightmare because you have not prepared properly.
A successful small business offers the rewards of earning income far in excess of a salary, the freedom to be in control of your own destiny, social status and the satisfaction of providing jobs for others. However, everything always seems easier than it really is, don't let your dream turn into a nightmare because you have not prepared properly.
So, what is a small business?
Depending on the sector your business will fall into, the definition of a small business changes, according to the National Small Business Act No. 102. 27 November 1996.
The size of your business is determined by three factors:
1. The number of full time, paid employees that work for you. Full time means that they work for eight hours a day, five days a week.
2. The total annual turnover of your business and
3. the total gross asset value of your business (fixed property excluded). This is the value of all of your equipment you use to run your business, like sewing machines, computers and cars but does not include the value of the land and buildings you use.
To qualify as a small business in the manufacturing sector you need to employ less than 50 full, time paid staff members; your total annual turnover must be less than R13milion and your total gross asset value less than R5million.
Other sectors include:
Retail: > 50 staff; > R19million turnover and > R 3million in assets
Wholesale Trade: > 50 staff, > R32million turnover and > R 5million in assets.
If your company does not quite match the above requirements, then use your total annual turnover as an indictator of business size.
Now that we know what a small business is, how would we go about creating one? Our first step is finding a business idea.
Finding a business idea
Choose a business idea for which there is a market demand and which you can serve competitively. With international competition on your doorstep, be sure to choose something you can get passionate about doing well. When it is fun, it is much easier to work hard.
If you do not already have an idea for your small business, there are many sources you can go to and many methods you can use in order to generate business ideas.
Write your ideas in a notebook or on an ideas board. This will allow you to easily track and compare them. Carry a small notepad with you wherever you go, so you can jot down new ideas. Then transfer them to your notebook to expand on them later.
You can generate business ideas from the following:
· Your previous or current employment
· Family, friends and relatives
· Market, social, business or technological trends
· A product or service need you've identified through personal experience
· Your hobby or leisure activities, including travel
· General interest newspapers and magazines
· Business publications, including magazines, newsletters, trade publications, and books available in the business sections of both libraries and book stores
· Trade shows and conventions
· The Yellow Pages
Types of Business Opportunities
There are many types of small business opportunities and many ways of categorising them. However, most small business opportunities fall into one of three major categories: retail, manufacturing or service.
The following is a list of questions which might help you discover new ideas or approaches to developing small business opportunities.
1. What product could I purchase the manufacturing rights for?
2. What product could I assemble, recondition, rebuild or re-manufacture into another product?
3. What product or service could I supply to another producer?
4. What product or service could I offer to gain a small percentage of a large market?
5. How can I add value to existing products or services?
6. What products and/or services could I combine?
7. What lifestyle or fashion trends in society provide a product or service opportunity?
8. What recreational or leisure trends provide a product or service opportunity?
9. What successful products or services could I imitate?
10. What products or services could I market and/or sell?
11. What products could I distribute and/or sell wholesale?
12. What products could I import/export?
13. What types of events could I plan, promote or publicise?
14. What expertise do I have that I could market as a consulting or information service?
15. What skills and expertise could I teach to others?
16. How could I help existing businesses access important information?
17. What existing business, franchise, or distributorship could I buy and operate?
Developing your Business Ideas
Your potential customers or clients are always looking for "value added" in the products and services they purchase. Once you've started developing business ideas, look at each opportunity from different angles, always looking for ways of adding value that will set your product or service apart from that of your competitors.
Greta Green believes that opening a landscaping business to service upper-middle class homes in a new housing development is a good business opportunity. But she is not alone in this assessment and will face stiff competition in this new market.
How could she improve her chances of success by providing landscaping services that are more convenient and flexible, less expensive, or more accessible to customers?
What other products or services could she offer to complement her landscaping service?
Could she, for instance, combine her landscaping services with general repairs, housekeeping, or babysitting services?
As an added service to her customers, could she sell gardening tools or sell and install lawn sprinkler systems?
Could she find and sell products that have added features or accessories and are:
· cleaner, safer or easier to use
· more durable and easier to replace or repair
· more efficient and functional
· lighter or stronger
· less costly
· more easily stored?
Every business idea will come with its own set of questions and opportunities to add value and make your product or service more attractive to customers.
Reality Check: Evaluating A Business Opportunity
Now that you've gone through the process of finding and developing ideas for possible small business ventures, it's time to narrow down the list to a few key ideas that have the best business potential. Remember that a business idea is NOT a business opportunity until it is evaluated objectively and judged to be feasible.
Keep your list of ideas to be analysed to a minimum of two and a maximum of five potential business opportunities at any one time. Seriously considering and developing too many potential business opportunities all at once will cause confusion and spread your time, energy and focus too thin. At the same time, if you focus too early on only one business idea, you are more likely to become personally and emotionally attached to it, and you will lose your objectivity.
Testing the feasibility of your top business ideas involves time and effort to collect key information. At this stage, most of your research efforts should focus on answering this key question: is there a market for my product or service? To help you answer this question, you can do the following:
· Conduct market surveys
· Conduct focus groups and brain-storming sessions
· Conduct personal and telephone interviews with potential customers
· Monitor your competitors, including talking to their customers if you can
· Test the market with your product or service
· Produce sample products or prototypes
· Talk to consultants and advisors
· Talk to retailers, distributors, agents, and brokers
· Read market research reports, industry trade books, magazines, and journals
· Refer to industry associations and South African Statistics services data
· Refer to the DTI for Small Business
Once you've finished your preliminary research, complete the following questionnaire for each of your key business ideas. This questionnaire is designed to help you test objectively and compare the feasibility of each of your key business ideas. Note: you won't have exact, detailed answers to all of the questions at this stage.
Business Feasibility Questionnaire
1. What exactly is the nature of the business, and what exactly am I selling?
2. Is this business a good match for my skills and experience?
3. Who are my customers and what are their buying habits?
4. Who are my competitors?
5. Why will customers buy my product or service instead of my competitor's product or service?
6. What is the size of the market, and what do I estimate will be my market share?
7. Manufacturing or service business: how many orders or contracts can I have already in place when I launch the business?
8. Retail business: how soon after I launch the business can I expect sales revenue?
9. Who will sell and/or distribute my product or service?
10. Can I produce the product or deliver the service at a competitive price?
11. How much product can I produce, or how many customers can I serve, in the first year of operation?
12. Can I find skilled employees to work for me?
13. What are the projected start-up costs and annual operating costs?
14. How much money will I need to borrow to start and operate the business?
15. Can I obtain the money to finance this business venture, and what is the level of financial risk?
16. Will the projected profits from the business meet my family's needs?
Comparing your questionnaire results for each of your key business ideas should help you decide which one is right for you and which one has the highest likelihood of success.

Rent control was a defining issue among candidates for Oceanside mayor and City Council at a Friday forum sponsored by a nonprofit organization representing mobile home residents.
Appearing before the Oceanside Manufactured Homeowners' Alliance , most of those running in the Nov. 6 election said they supported the city's rent control ordinance that's been in place since 1984.
A few others said they thought rent control was wrong, although no one said they'd actively try to resurrect a failed attempt to repeal it.
Still, Councilman Jerry Kern ---- who earlier this year championed a "vacancy decontrol" ordinance that would have phased out rent control in the city's 17 mobile-home parks ---- said the issue won't go away.
Kern is running for mayor against incumbent Jim Wood and former mayor Terry Johnson, both of whom said they support mobile-home park rent control.
"If that's your issue, you're going to vote against me," Kern said. "If that's the only issue that drives you, I can't help you with that."
Kern said he hasn't wavered in his opposition to mobile-home rent control.
"Vacancy decontrol was a way of easing out of it," Kern said.
Rent control is "a yoke" around the necks of mobile home park owners, Kern said.
"They will continue to fight to get rid of rent control," Kern said.
He predicted that the state Legislature over the next five years would change state law on the matter.
The City Council in a 3-2 vote in May 2011 adopted Kern's vacancy decontrol ordinance that would have kept rent control in place for people already living in rent controlled spaces but removed it when they sold their coaches or moved.
Kern and Councilmen Jack Feller and Gary Felien voted for vacancy decontrol and Wood and Councilwoman Esther Sanchez voted against it.
Mobile-home residents and their allies stopped the ordinance from taking effect by collecting petitions signed by more than 15,000 registered voters demanding that the council repeal the ordinance or put it on the ballot.
The council opted to put it on the ballot as Proposition E in a June special election. Voters rejected the ordinance with 65 percent saying no 35 percent voting yes.
Wood said he fought against Kern's push to phase out rent control "from the beginning because it came about basically in what was a depression."
Wood said he didn't buy the argument by Kern and others that rent control robs park owners of their property rights.
Most mobile-home residents in Oceanside own their coaches but rent the space on which they're kept.
Rent control protects their property rights, Wood said.
Johnson said he supports mobile-home rent control but termed it "a wedge issue" that divides the city. He said the matter should be set aside so the city can concentrate on less divisive matters.
Sanchez, who is running for reelection, worked with Wood to campaign against Proposition E.
Calling Kern, Feller and Felien the "terrible trio," Sanchez said mobile-home residents must be vigilant against future attempts to repeal rent control.
Sanchez said she and Wood, joined by council candidate Dana Corso, are "team Oceanside" which would form a new majority on the council to protect rent control.
Corso, who is president of Alliance of Citizens To Improve Oceanside Neighborhoods, said the fight to keep rent control was one of the issues that motivated her to run for City Council.
"Proposition E is what really pushed me over the edge," Corso said. "I believe rent control is very important."
Feller, who is running for reelection, and council candidate Hugh "Chip" Dykes said they're philosophically against rent control and backed the June ballot measure which would have phased it out.
As long as the rent-control ordinance remains on the books, "I will defend it legally," Feller said.
"I think ultimately rent control will disappear and something better will happen," Feller said.
Dykes said rent control is "a government intrusion on private business" but with the defeat of Proposition E, the city should move on to other matters.
Council candidate David Zernik said he's against any effort to remove rent control because many of those living in mobile homes get by on fixed incomes.
"To shock them with something like this is very unfair," Zernik said.
Council candidate Donald Synder said he had no opinion on rent control.
"I don't know that much about rent control because a couple of years ago I bought my house and nobody helped me get it," Snyder said. "I don't quite understand what's going on."
Jimmy Knott, a mobile home resident running for the council, said the defeat of Proposition E by such a wide margin showed that mobile-home rent control is safe in Oceanside unless the state Legislature tinkers with it.
"We're basically protected, pure and simple," Knott said.

There are plenty of young people in Portland who refuse to let their poverty prevent them from being stylish. The mother ship for these types is, of course, the Sellwood Goodwill Bins, where merchandise arranged in what can only be described as troughs is picked through all day every day by the scavenging masses, and bought up for only 69 cents a pound. Those willing to get their hands dirty are often rewarded with perfectly good merchandise, from small electronics to clothing. A whole subsection of this community turns around their discoveries for sale on Ebay, or makes a quick buck with it at places like Buffalo Exchange or Red Light. If you're really serious about busting the recession blues, you'll of course go straight to the source, although the Bins has its share of inconveniences (it requires time and diligence to be worth the trek out to its rather isolated location). The next best thing might be The Sixer (3611 SE Division), a store/collective set to open this weekend, on Sunday the 1st. Founded by two self-described "veterans" of the bins with more than a decade of experience, Breanna Adee and Jacob LaValley form the founding core of the venture along with "'picker'/seamstress/tailor/designer-esque" cohorts on the periphery.
As per the name, every item at the store is priced at only $6 (a tiny mark-up—you'd be surprised how much you've probably paid for bins rescues elsewhere), with 1200 sq ft of merch that includes clothing, shoes, and accessories that are either vintage, current, or reconstructed/altered. They are also in negotiations with the landlord about possibly expanding into an additional 1,000 sq ft, are working on adding to their collection of '70s pinball machines, and have plans to add a section of vinyl records to the mix. Hit the break for a couple shots of the unopened store's interior, or better yet drop by on Sunday to paw your way around. As always, click over to MOD for plenty more suggestions on how to

LiteTouch, Inc. Introduces New Wall Box Lighting Control Product to Building Community at IBS.
LiteTouch Neo, the company's new Wall Box Lighting Control Product to debut at IBS 2007.
(Salt Lake City, UT - February 7, 2007) This week, at the International Builder's Show in Orlando, Florida, LiteTouch, Inc. will debut the LiteTouch® Neo™, the company's new and radically simple Wall Box Lighting Control Product.
The LiteTouch Neo offers custom home builders ease of installation and programming plus multiple upgrade opportunities unprecedented in the lighting control industry. The revolutionary technology driving these benefits is the LiteTouch Neo Load "Cartridge."
LiteTouch Neo's "Cartridges" are truly the crowning technical achievement. They are the super -small, high -voltage lighting control modules that accomplish the actual dimming and switching of the lights. Because they are uniquely small, compact, removable, replaceable and interchangeable, LiteTouch uses the word "Cartridge" to describe these load modules. LiteTouch Neo's unique "Cartridge" technology means that LiteTouch Neo has room to grow. Upgrade the LiteTouch Neo4, a 4 -gang unit, to control up to eight cartridges and lighting loads simply by adding additional "Cartridges." Each "Cartridge" has its own microprocessor that automatically recognizes any new components added to the system.
Notable features of the new LiteTouch Neo include:
• Easy to install: Electrical Contractors appreciate LiteTouch Neo. It is conventionally wired and is installed into a standard back box. No special tools, supplies or training required.
• Easy to link to create a wall box lighting control system: Up to 8 LiteTouch Neo4 units can be linked together using standard Cat5 cable. When linked, the units automatically detect and communicate with each other, allowing any button on any unit to be used to control any lighting load in the system.
• No special programming tools or software needed: A simple, built -in programming panel requires no external software to easily program and includes seven standard switch types.
• A hand -held remote control comes standard with every unit: Every LiteTouch Neo4 comes standard with its own remote control that simply "mimics" the programming of the LiteTouch Neo4. No additional programming required.
LiteTouch Neo4, which fits into a four -gang back box, can control up to eight cartridges and lighting loads. High -wattage "Cartridges" are available. On/Off -Dimmer Cartridges and High -wattage On/Off -Dimmer Cartridges are optimized to control incandescent, low voltage electronic transformers, neon, cold cathode, and inductive lighting loads. Switching ballasts may also be controlled with cartridges set in the On/Off mode.
The LiteTouch Neo product line is expanding to include a 240Volt LiteTouch Neo4, a one -gang LiteTouch Neo1 and a 7 -button LiteTouch NeoMimic Keypad.
• 240Volt LiteTouch Neo4: A 240Volt, ETL approved version of the LiteTouch Neo4 is scheduled to ship March 2007.
• The LiteTouch Neo1: A 2 -button, single gang unit with self -contained programmability. It can house a standard On/Off -Dimmer Cartridge; up to eight can be connected to a Neo4. Scheduled to ship April 2007
• LiteTouch NeoMimic: A 7 -button, low -voltage, single gang unit that simply mimics the programming of Neo4. Utilize the LiteTouch Neo Mimic in applications with dual entrances. Scheduled to ship April 2007.
The expanded LiteTouch Neo product line enhances the scalability of LiteTouch lighting control, now offering both the ease of wall box lighting control with the LiteTouch Neo, and the power of integrated control with LiteTouch's signature 5000LC lighting control system.
LiteTouch will debut LiteTouch Neo to the national building community with live demos and displays at the annual IBS Show (International Builder's Show) in Orlando February 8 - 11, 2007. LiteTouch will also showcase several other recent innovations, including a new Daylight Harvesting Keypad for today's increasingly energy -conscious homeowner; striking new Coastal and Metropolitan Keypad designs; the new Euro Keypad, offering American homeowners the option of the sophisticated smaller keypad footprint typically used in European homes; and LiteTouch's powerful and advanced integration capabilities which allow for virtually unlimited whole home control.
About LiteTouch, Inc.
LiteTouch lighting control products offer real -world benefits, including convenience, security, time -savings, safety, energy conservation, design aesthetics, and fun. "Experience Lighting Control, " an online tour detailing many of these benefits, is available at LiteTouch.com
Headquartered in Salt Lake City, Utah, LiteTouch's products are available through an extensive network of representatives and authorized dealers.

Lincolnshire, Yorkshire or Nottinghamshire which all have parishes names Leake. For some of the first listings of the family, we must look to Lincolnshire where the Hundredorum Rolls of 1273 list the following: John de Lek; Roger de Leke; and Teobald de Lek as all living in that shire at that time.

Likes Spelling Variations
Likes Spelling Variations
Until quite recently, the English language has lacked a definite system of spelling rules. Consequently, Anglo-Saxon surnames are characterized by a multitude of spelling variations. Changes in Anglo-Saxon names were influenced by the evolution of the English language, as it incorporated elements of French, Latin, and other languages. Although Medieval scribes and church officials recorded names as they sounded, so it is common to find one person referred to by several different spellings of his surname, even the most literate people varied the spelling of their own names. Variations of the name Likes include Leake, Leak, Leek, Leeke, Leyke and others.

The Great Migration
The Great Migration
Searching for a better life, many English families migrated to British colonies. Unfortunately, the majority of them traveled under extremely harsh conditions: overcrowding on the ships caused the majority of the immigrants to arrive diseased, famished, and destitute from the long journey across the ocean. For those families that arrived safely, modest prosperity was attainable, and many went on to make invaluable contributions to the development of the cultures of the new colonies. Research into the origins of individual families in North America revealed records of the immigration of a number of people bearing the name Likes or a variant listed above: Augustine Leak, who came to Virginia in 1623; Winifred Leak, who arrived in Virginia in 1623; John Leak, who settled in Virginia in 1635; John Leak, who arrived in Barbados in 1658.

The motto was originally a war cry or slogan. Mottoes first began to be shown with arms in the 14th and 15th centuries, but were not in general use until the 17th century. Thus the oldest coats of arms generally do not include a motto. Mottoes seldom form part of the grant of arms: Under most heraldic authorities, a motto is an optional component of the coat of arms, and can be added to or changed at will; many families have chosen not to display a motto.
Motto: Agendo gnaviter
Motto Translation: By acting prudently.

VICTORIA—Charges have been laid against a Victoria man who's accused of prostituting a 16-year-old girl.
The RCMP say 22-year-old Stephen Charlie faces six charges, including compelling a person to work as a prostitute, living off the avails of prostitution, kidnapping and assault.
Police say they began investigating in November of 2010 after getting information that the 16-year-old was being offered as a prostitute on several Internet sites.
The name of the victim won't be released because of her age.
Cpl. Kathy Rochlitz of the West Shore RCMP says this type of crime often targets vulnerable, at risk youth with the lure of money, drugs and attention, but they end up being victimized.

What I liked
The staff are brilliant,very helpful and very committed.Can`t praise them enough!
What could be improved
Parking is a nightmare,thats the main reason that puts me off the hospital.
Response from Doncaster Royal Infirmary 4 years ago
Thank you for giving us this feedback. We're sorry that you found the parking difficult - we do appreciate that it can be tricky finding a space, as the hospital has grown over the years and we are in a residential area with no room to expand or provide additional parking. We provide a free park-and-ride service at Car Park A at Doncaster Racecourse, with buses every 20 minutes from early morning until late. The feedback we get on it is very positive, with patients and visitors finding it a good way of getting to the hospital.

The trick to winning your fantasy league is to be prescient enough to figure out the exact moment a player will get hot and insert him into your starting lineup at the same time another player will get cold. Every player goes through hot and cold streaks during the course of a season, but by using several different players in the same roster spot, you can create a sort of "uber player" who maximizes performance by sustaining a season-long hot streak. With apologies to the Sylvia Brownes out there who may believe that such psychic precision is actually possible, this simply ain't gonna happen, my friend. No matter how long and hard you pore over the stats, there's no way to use them to accurately predict future performance with any degree of certainty, but that doesn't mean these stats have nothing to tell us.
Let's take another look at Runs Created, which we discussed a couple of months ago in this column. Runs Created is a concept developed by "Baseball Abstract" author Bill James that attempts to quantify a player's involvement in each run scored by his real-life team. Because a run scored is the only truly important stat to real baseball -- the team that scores the most runs in a given game wins -- determining how much each player contributes to scoring runs is a valuable tool for assessing a player's real-life value. James developed a formula that combined a player's ability to get on base, his ability to advance runners or himself further around the bases, and his opportunity to produce into one easy-to-read value: the number of runs a player has helped create throughout a season.
