My main goal is to save enough money for a house deposit. I have been browsing Pinterest for inspiration, as I can't wait to have my own home that I can decorate my way and put my own stamp on. However, as much as I am excited about hopefully buying my own house one day. I have found researching the process very confusing. Henry will talk to me about shared equity and deposits, and I'll literally sit with a blank expression on my face. I find stuff like this quite hard to understand so I was pretty relived to see that Halifax have created a series of videos on financial jargon which some people may not know much about. I have found this a huge help and has helped me to understand things such as 5% deposits, which is what we will be going for when we have enough money saved up for a deposit. It's been a relief to finally know what this jargon means and this has even helped me be more motivated to save for a house, as the whole process doesn't scare me as much anymore. I would definitely recommend watching these videos. As I no longer have such a blank expression when people mention these terms since watching them.
So with this in mind, I thought that today, I would write a few tips on how I'm going to be trying to save money in 2015. Let's hope that these things will help me save up enough for both a house deposit and New York fund.... a girl can dream right?
- No more shopping! Okay that might be hard, but to buy better quality things less often.
- If I really want something, I'm going to see if I'm still thinking about it 48 hours later. If yes, then I'll consider it, but if I've forgotten it, I leave it.
- To go for a run or pop on a fitness YouTube video rather than joining up for another gym membership to save money. You can still get fit for free.
- To shop at different places when doing my food shop. Shopping around for the best deals rather than all at one place just for connivence.
- To put away all the spare change in my purse into a money bank. Not only will I be saving money, my handbag will be lighter.
- To walk more places rather than driving and having to pay for parking.
- To utilise apps such as Spotify rather than download album after album on iTunes.
- To shop my make up stash more often, I always find forgotten gems in there. It's like make up shopping for free.
- Download voucher apps and only eat out in restaurants that have deals or voucher codes.
- Realise that I can literally blog about anything I want without having to spend money. Taking my camera to a park with Frankie, you don't have to spend money to create great content.
- To put away a certain amount of money each month into a separate savings account that I can't access very easily. ( Less easy to spend then)
- To remember why I am saving. Look round show houses and imagine how nice it would be to have this as my house, or watch vlogs of New York to see just how amazing it is. It'll inspire me to keep going.
- Ditching takeaways, and lets be honest making my own pizza is much healthier, cost effective and tastes better than the likes of Domino's.
- To get crafty when it comes to birthdays and Christmas gifts, this will help me save money and well luckily homemade DIY gifts are very on trend right now ;)
These are just some things that I have started to do in an attempt for saving. So far so good. I feel that I've got into the mindset that I want to save and I know that the end result will totally be worth having a few tighter months. You see the thing is, just because I'm saving doesn't mean that I can't ever have any fun, it's all about keeping things in perspective and well the odd topshop haul doesn't hurt every now and then. Fingers crossed that 2015 will be the year of saving for me, let me know your top tips for saving, and what you're saving for. We can do this together :)

Review for Gustafson Brothers Service Center
Michael M. on 03/14/2012
Michael said this business does quality work. This business did not have a part available at the time and his vehicle was at this business for 13 days. He was told it would be ready over the weekend, but the part they needed was on backorder. He chose not to elaborate further. He suggested this business make sure all the parts are available before dismantling a vehicle. It would be nice if they were to offer a shuttle to Long Beach.

Holy crow, people. That is all I can say. The semester is supposed to be winding down now, since all the professors are preparing for the exams, so why is it that everyone seems so tightly wound? Final projects are due soon, or right now, and many people I know have started quitting their jobs or taking a leave of absence in order to give themselves more time for studying and essay-ing. I wonder how many of you guys out there have done the same, eh?
Keeping a job going in university is hard, and it has to be a very flexible job too. Maybe not for everyone, but for anyone in a program like mine, it is sometimes hard to figure out when classes will be over, when your project will be done and when you won"t have rehearsal.
Thanks to the demanding schedule of my program, this blog is the only job I can really afford to have time-wise, so I"m relying a lot on my parents for money to buy things like food, clothing and tuition. But this blog is perfect. I sit down for an hour or two once a week, write to you dear readers about how awesome life is, or some new bit of sage advice my online casino mind has conjured up and voila! If I had to work many more hours than that, I think I would go crazy.
I"m hoping to get some work in Toronto over the summer so that I can stay here, but it"s not a sure thing yet. I"m starting my job hunt after winter break is over (wish me luck!)
There are some people in my program who DO manage to have real part-times jobs (Hey, blogging is a real job too… Right?) and somehow schedule all that around our insane rehearsal hours and long classes (We call these people crazies). I don't know how they do it, but they must be finding work as contortionists or something, because DANG they be flexible. Sorry for the bad joke – I"m tired so I may be STRETCHING it a bit… Sorry for the pun as well. You know I"m bending over backwards to write this stuff for you guys, right?
Okay, okay, I"m done. Promise.
Anyways, back to my point; if you want a job in university that will maximize your cash while minimizing impact on your grades, you have to find something that is extremely flexible on hours and shifts. Either that or be THE nicest person at your job so that if you need to switch a shift with anyone, people will be willing.
But when it really comes down to it people, your grades are what is most important. You've got to remember that. So even if it means quitting a super-sweet job and depending a bit more on your parents for a while, it IS worth the sacrifice. University is all about working towards your dream job, and if you don"t pass, you"re going to be stuck with the burger-joint job that failed you in the first place.

I made two pieces, a necklace and a pair of earrings.
The necklace features beads by Diane Hawkey and Joan Miller! I forged the bar and wire wrapped tiny seed beads to it. The cubes are vintage glass that I got in a destash from Allegory Gallery.
Here are the earrings! I used some lovely pairs of stone which I purchased at Bead & Button last year. The birds are in a lovey rustic ceramic. I messy wrapped the wire to form a nest and added bits of crystal to give it a little light.

Iron Superoxide Dismutase Protects against Chilling Damage in the Cyanobacterium Synechococcus species PCC79421
- Authors

- American Society of Plant Physiologists
- Publication Date
- Source
- Keywords
- Disciplines
A strain of Synechococcus sp. PCC7942 lacking functional Fe superoxide dismutase (SOD), designated sodB−, was characterized by its growth rate, photosynthetic pigments, inhibition of photosynthetic electron transport activity, and total SOD activity at 0°C, 10°C, 17°C, and 27°C in moderate light. At 27°C, the sodB− and wild-type strains had similar growth rates, chlorophyll and carotenoid contents, and cyclic photosynthetic electron transport activity. The sodB− strain was more sensitive to chilling stress at 17°C than the wild type, indicating a role for FeSOD in protection against photooxidative damage during moderate chilling in light. However, both the wild-type and sodB− strains exhibited similar chilling damage at 0°C and 10°C, indicating that the FeSOD does not provide protection against severe chilling stress in light. Total SOD activity was lower in the sodB− strain than in the wild type at 17°C and 27°C. Total SOD activity decreased with decreasing temperature in both strains but more so in the wild type. Total SOD activity was equal in the two strains when assayed at 0°C. See more

If you're music fan and have jailbroken device you have a great chance to tweet Now Playing music from anywhere in iOS 10 installing new jailbreak tweak called NPTweet. This Cydia tweak makes it extremely easy to Tweet a Now Playing track from anywhere in iOS applying a Flipswitch. Here is a short review on how this jailbreak tweak works on jailbroken iOS 10 devices.
How To Tweet Now Playing Music From Anywhere On iPhone
To get started NPTweet should be downloaded from for free from Cydia's BigBoss repo and installed on jailbroken device. The tweak works good on iOS 10 or iOS 9 devices.
To tweet Now Playing music from anywhere in iOS 10 you need to use Flipswitch. When invoked, the extension automatically scrapes together your Now Playing track's metadata and compiles it into a string of text you can share with your followers. Among the kinds of information you can include in your Tweet string are:
- The song name
- The artist of the song
- The album the song is from
- The name of the app playing the song
Configuring the tweak is simple; you can go to the Settings app after installation and you'll find NPTweet's preferences pane:
From here you can customize the string of text so the tweak compiles the info in the format you select. Simply use the guide in the pane to type out the shortcuts in any order along with any other filler text you wish to have.
Once you're done with that, navigate to your Flipswitch settings, which can be accessed via jailbreak tweaks like FlipControlCenter or Polus. To do that, go to the preference pane of the Flipswitch-based tweak you're using and enable the NPTweet option:
In example we use FlipControlCenter, that's why you see the NPTweet button in Control Center interface like so:
Clicking on the button opens an iOS Twitter share sheet, letting us to share what we're listening to our Twitter account. For this to work, you must be signed into iOS with your Twitter account from Settings > Twitter.
NPTweet works with seemingly all media apps, whether you're using the stock Music app, or a third-party app like Spotify or Pandora.

Gravestone tragedy: Boy, eight, is crushed to death as he plays with friends
A YOUNG boy has died after a tombstone fell on him while he was 'playing in a cemetery'.
Ciaran Williamson, who died after a tombstone fell on him
It had a triangle bit at the top and it fell off and hit Ciaran in the face
Ciaran Williamson is believed to have been playing in Craigton Cemetery, Cardonald, Glasgow with friends when tragedy struck.
The eight-year-old was rushed to Yorkhill Hospital, Glasgow, but died.
Two other boys, both aged 10, were also hospitalised, with one being described as being in a "stable" condition and the other being released.
Thomas McManus, 10, was with Ciaran when the accident happened at around 7.25pm yesterday.
He said: "We just walked through the hole in the wall into the graveyard and there was a tree that we were going to climb.
"Three of us climbed up it, including me and Ciaran, and when we jumped off and landed the top of the gravestone wobbled and fell over.
"It had a triangle bit at the top and it fell off and hit Ciaran in the face and me in the back too.
"Ciaran got knocked unconscious, there was blood coming out of his mouth and his eye.
"I was going to stay with him but the others were too scared to get his mum so I had to run all the way round and get his step dad and show him where it was.
"Then they phoned the ambulance and the police. The ambulance and police had to lift up the gravestone to get him out because he was stuck under it.
"It was really big. As tall as an adult. They're bigger at the bottom and then they have a point at the top.
"The other boy had half of his foot cut off. I didn't get to see Ciaran at the hospital."
Thomas said he does not go to play in the cemetery very often, but that other local children use it because there are no playparks nearby.
He said: "There's nowhere else to go except for the school's playgrounds.
"I was crying afterwards and all this morning. I've not spoken to Ciaran's parents yet.
"Everyone's off school today because of it."
It is understood that Ciaran attended the local Lourdes Primary School which is at the south side of the cemetery.
Pinned to the railings outside Ciaran's home are a number of tributes to the tragic schoolboy.
A Celtic football shirt placed by Thomas was among the flowers and teddy bears left in his memory.
His family said: "We would like to take this opportunity to inform you that our son Ciaran James Williamson sadly passed away in a tragic accident at Craigton Crematorium.
"We would respectfully ask that you respect our privacy at this distressing time."
Detective Inspector Tom McKean of Police Scotland added: "This is such a tragic set of circumstances and our thoughts are with Ciaran's family.
"Enquiries are ongoing however the incident is not being treated as suspicious and a full report will be submitted to the Procurator Fiscal."

It's been almost two years since the movie Sideways hit the screens, but Pinot Noir remains a hot ticket. And not just the California version. Try to find a bottle from Oregon and you'll discover the supply to be somewhat scarce, this despite the fact that Pinot Noir from that state can be fairly pricey. Entry-level offerings typically start around $20, but they are worth the tariff. Pinot is a very difficult grape to get right. It loves a cool climate but that requires a long growing season to ripen. Oregon's Willamette Valley is an ideal place to grow the grape, still, most years, they race to get the harvest in before the fall rains. Small crops (typically two tons to the acre or less) combined with intensive vineyard management drive up the price of Pinot. But that's what it takes to make the best, and Oregon is definitely making some great wines. Here are the panel's top three picks:
2003 Chehalem Pinot Noir, 3 Vineyard, $21.50
An unusually hot growing season resulted in very ripe fruit, but Chehalem was able to extend the harvest into October, with the extra hang time allowing the grapes to fully mature. The result is a nicely structured wine with just a touch of heat on the nose from the high alcohol (15.5 percent). The aromas are of bright cherry fruit with a bit of mushroom. The same cherry fruit dominates the palate with light, ripe tannins on the nicely persistent finish. An excellent value.
2004 Lachini Pinot Noir, Ana Vineyard, $39
A bit reserved at first, this wine opens up beautifully to reveal aromas of fresh wild strawberries with underlying notes of earth and spice. A delicious, fruit-driven wine with red berry flavors and a touch of mocha. Ripe smooth tannins come through on the long silky finish. It's only the fourth vintage for this winery, but with Isabelle Dutartre, a Burgundian winemaker with over 15 years of experience at both Maison and Domaine Drouhin, at the helm, it's one to watch.
2004 Phantom Hill Pinot Noir, Dundee Hills, $28.50
Opens with big, bold dark berry fruit aromas that give way to more subtle strawberry all backed by just a hint of mineral. An exceptionally well-integrated wine with mouth-filling cherry fruit laced with spice. Owner Anthony Maratea, who lives in Sun Valley, describes Phantom Hill as the winery without a winery. He and his good friend Gary Andrus of Oregon's Gypsy Dancer make the wine there. Look for his Idaho Chardonnay and Pinot Noir as well, both are excellent wines.
This week's panel: Dave Faulk, Porterhouse Meats; David Kirkpatrick, Boise Co-op; Cindy Limber, Bardenay; Karen McMillin, Idaho Wine Merchant; Michael Molinengo, Idaho Wine Merchant; Kevin Settles, Bardenay.

After having the Signum for four years, I'm starting to get itchy feet but would like another with a different engine.
Have seen a good 2.8T one that ticks all the boxes FSH, lowish miles etc. The thing that is interesting is that it's had a pro LPG conversion. I know all the common facts on LPG; lower bhp, mpg when running on it but does anyone have experience with aftermarket LPG conversions; reliability, known issues etc?
Especially on the 2.8?

Veranda Room
This Veranda Room, formerly the dining room in the house, features a large Vettriano print, "The Singing Butler", which provides the red brick accent coloring for the quilted coverlet and shams that lie on a soft, warm comforter. The comfortable mission style king size bed, original wood work, and electric fireplace in a surround made of island quarried granite and limestone are the highlights of this room. The bathroom features a large walk in shower with bench seating and double shower heads that will make you feel you have walked into a romantic grotto. The private entrance leads out to the veranda that is a perfect place to have that first cup of coffee as you greet the morning sun.
"This room was perfect; romantic, yet the beautiful woodwork and fireplace made it a little rustic. The room, with its huge shower for two and wonderfully soft bed and fireplace made for a cozy place to relax and read or watch one of the many movies from the DVD library. We are definitely coming back and bringing our friends." Guest Testimonial

SAN ANTONIO - The most action of the week occurred on Wednesday as the East team participated in an intra-squad scrimmage that was supposed to be devoid of physical contact. However, led by offensive tackle Eric Shrive and others, there was plenty of hitting going on. The following are the top performers for the East on Wednesday.
East Team Hot 11 - Wednesday
Article Continues Below
WR Joshua Adams
6-4/200, Cheshire (Conn.) Cheshire Academy
Adams is emerging as a deep threat for the East squad and he continued that trend in the scrimmage. He beat cornerback Michael Carter for a long touchdown on a post pattern and caught a few passes in traffic using his strong hands. He's a physical receiver with deceptive speed.
LB Jon Bostic
6-1/218, Wellington (Fla.) Palm Beach Central
Bostic started things off in the scrimmage with a big hit on wide receiver Jeremy Gallon following a nice catch and he played well in coverage for the East defense. Bostic, playing middle linebacker, was also key in limiting the East rushing attack to just a few yards.
RB Bryce Brown
6-0/215, Wichita (Kan.) Wichita East
Brown didn't get many carries as the East worked out of the spread and threw the ball for the most part, but on one running play he illustrated his open field ability with one of the best spin moves you'll ever see. Brown has also been a capable receiver all week long and made another big catch in the scrimmage, adjusting to a ball thrown behind him.
6-5/317, Detroit (Mich.) Cass Tech
The big man has been the talk of the week in recruiting circles with his impending decision, but on Wednesday it was his play that stood out. Campbell was pressed into double duty in the scrimmage as a defensive tackle and as a left tackle on offense and played both positions well. He got a push on defense and freed the linebackers and on offense he shook off the rust at tackle and limited Donte Moss and others for the most part.
Ath Orson Charles
6-2/230, Tampa (Fla.) Plant
Charles has become the fiery leader of the offense with his intensity and willingness to pay the price to make a catch and gain extra yardage. In the scrimmage, he made multiple catches and flashed his quickness and good hands. He also fired up the offense with a verbal exchange with numerous members of the defense after a late hit.
6-2/192, Tallahassee (Fla.) Godby
Downs is known more for his offensive prowess in high school but he has proven to be an outstanding defensive player all week. In the scrimmage he had an interception, nice man-to-man coverage on a long pass down the sidelines and he made a nice open field tackle on the slippery Gallon.
QB Aaron Murray
6-0/198, Tampa (Fla.) Plant
Murray struggled for the most part on Tuesday but he was back in form in the scrimmage. He completed a beautiful touchdown pass to Adams down the middle and threw a rope to his high school teammate Charles for another big gainer. Murray proved once again that when he gets time in the pocket, he can pick apart a secondary and drop the ball between the corner and the safety with ease.
6-3/217, Chatham (Va.) Hargrave Military
Newsome threw for two touchdowns including a beautiful connection to fellow Virginia prospect Logan Thomas down the left sideline for a score. He was much more decisive in the scrimmage while also flashing his running ability a little bit. And after taking a huge hit from Shayne Skov that left him dizzy, his competitive nature took over as he was clearly upset at being removed from the scrimmage for precautionary reasons.
OT Eric Shrive
6-7/285, Scranton (Pa.) West Scranton
It's not easy for offensive linemen to get noticed in a scrimmage, especially on a team that runs the spread, but Shrive was very impressive on Wednesday. From his left guard position he made many key blocks including a couple downfield and his intensity was evident. His grappling match with East defensive tackle John Simon really got things going for both sides and amped up the physical nature of the scrimmage.
LB Shayne Skov
6-2/235, Pawling (NY) Trinity Pawling
Skov had his best day by far on Wednesday by moving forward instead of backwards off the snap. He shot the gap at top speed on an inside handoff to Bryce Brown and leveled the five-star running back. Later in the scrimmage he hit Orson Charles after a completion that nearly started a brawl and he knocked Kevin Newsome out of the scrimmage with another big tackle.
TE Logan Thomas
6-6/233, Lynchburg (Va.) Brookville
The five-star arrived with a vengeance on Wednesday, making numerous big catches including a long touchdown pass from Kevin Newsome. Thomas has been shaking the rust off this week after playing quarterback for his high school team the last two seasons and Wednesday he was the matchup nightmare many expected coming in.

Rain Kooli: Our Crumbling Journalism ({{commentsTotal}})
In the following column, ERR's online opinion editor Rain Kooli reflects on the sad state of a once honorable profession and the factors that have led to its erosion.
Most changes occur slowly, and that's certainly true for the media, which both here and abroad has been changing in a nearly imperceptible fashion.
It's impossible to say in retrospect where the first concession was made, where the building started crumbling.
Whatever the case, we find ourselves in a situation where the foundation of journalism has more cracks in it than it should, and the walls are thinner than they ought to be. This flaccidity has crept into the media in the form of an gradual letting-go, and it happened in many ways and for many reasons.
One of the reasons is decisions made by media concern owners, both justified and unjustified, which downsized employees in the interests of cost-effectiveness and choked off newsrooms as if cutting off the air supply to living beings.
Modern technology also plays a role: it makes us feel that information has to be relayed at ever faster rates and volumes in an effort to keep up with the competition.
Personnel policies have their part to play, too, as work goes not just to good journalists. People interested in their own private interests are also hired - as "society's watchdogs."
And so we find ourselves in a situation where the workday for most people we call journalists is spent browsing the web on a computer or, at best, talking on the phone; where a given news story might be based on a press release from some PR company, organization or company. Where in the absence of the best sources, information based only on one person's words and not backed up by evidence is also deemed fit to publish.
We're in a situation where the borderline between news and speculation is fuzzier and fuzzier, where expanded opinions are passed off as analysis, and where an interview can mean a few sloppily worded questions with a few answers hurriedly cobbled together and e-mailed back.
We're in a situation where newsrooms feed off of the rumor mill, the sweet nectar of conspiratorial inside information - beliefs and stereotypes hatched in someone's mind at some point, then passed down the grapevine, despite not effectively having a basis in reality.
We're in a situation where instead of being ashamed of the dreck that gets published, excuses are found - lack of time, other factors, or the line that "I know how these things work."
If someone points out that a news item is rubbish, the response is not gratitude but scorn - the critic "must not know anything about our work!"
We're in a situation where the few people who dare speak out in newsrooms about inefficient practices or poor job performance often get saddled with the reputation of office scold or "a difficult person to work with" or they get the silent treatment instead of their ideas being discussed. The message to them is "shut up and let us be."
That's not what journalism should be. But it is so right now, and were anyone to take stock of the situation as it stands, the general explanation is "that's the way things are."
Should it be that way? Do the media house owners really believe that a journalistic "discount mart" is better than a classy department store? Do media enterprises have some plan for regaining their prestige in society and quality later on, "when times have changed?"
If not, have the media execs thought through what marketplace they plan to ultimately flog their soggy waffle on?

You sit Indian-style in a bar? (Being Apache, I generally sit in a chair or a stool. Perhaps other tribes have different customs.)
In seriousness, I never really picked up many girls at bars. Typically, I would meet women on a ski slope (I was ski patrol) or during a ride on a lift/gondola, and THEN meeting at a bar.
Ha! No, we would be at hotels hanging out, not bars. Sitting on beds, indian style. Talking about men, not picking them up. At a bar we would just sit together, drinking, and...talk. Men are topics of conversation, certainly, but they are not living dildos generally speaking. Not everyone wants to get laid by strangers. Some people look for connection and then maintain it. Some people are able to manage fidelity. Many people feel richly rewarded by it.
Sure, but a huge percentage of women on vacation with other women feel differently.
I'm only pointing out that what you really mean is that a huge percentage of women who pick up men when they're on vacation feel differently, as noted by yourself and confirmed by illicitaffairs.com's important research.
Is it wrong I'm disappointed by this?
Also, OP, dump your chick, she be cheatin' no doubt.
I was thinking about this thread while driving a few days ago and it occurred to me (again, I keep forgetting) that people willing to cheat always see cheating everywhere, while those of us who eschew it seem not to see it at all. Then I thought about the cheating ex-boyfriend (total man-whore) and lesser-cheating ex-husband and thought "my God, maybe Hockey, whom I adore and who travels constantly for work, cheats too, and I'm once again completely oblivious." I was pretty sad there for a minute, but then I decided that no, I trust him, and for what I believe is good reason (he displays none of the moral inconsistency of the other two and takes decency very seriously), and also, so what? If in fact I can trust no one, because no one is trustworthy, wouldn't I be better off unaware and assuming the best? Because sadder to me than being fooled would be to see the shadow of betrayal everywhere.
"I had been happy if the general camp,Pioneers and all, had tasted her sweet body,So I had nothing known. "
I'm with you on this. My ex-husband cheated. I've never cheated nor have I ever felt the desire to cheat. I'd rather live in a sunny Pollyanna world than in grim paranoia. It seems much easier to recover from the betrayal of a cheater than to live voluntarily in such a grey, grinding, unhappy place.
Yes, exactly!
To quote Ronald Maximus: "Trust, but verify."
I travel long stretches at a time to bizarre countries. I'm a successful businessman, reasonably tall, and fit. Women do pursue me, even though I am not terribly approachable. They are often extremely aggressive (by which I mean they make clear they are available) during business travel, especially international travel.
I grew up in a culture that stressed that one must not only not sin, but not give the appearance of sinning, as by doing so you could leave others to stray. So I worry that she worries (although she says she does not).
Mrs. Jewbacca has access to every credit card, bank account, phone, and computer that I own. I follow certain cultural norms that act as a back stop to bad actions. I call often. She can track my phone if she wishes. We skype. I try to travel with like-minded male companions that she knows. I've at least introduced her to my traveling companions and given each their respective contact information. I try to avoid alcohol where possible (not really possible in Asia). I do have the advantage that I can plead religious conviction to not attend certain clubs popular with businessmen in Japan without being rude (and Dallas). Etc.
While obviously being observantly Jewish is not the solution for anyone but a Jewish person, perhaps others can take some pointers both to avoid temptation and to avoid the appearance of impropriety.
This. 1000 times. If you are an open book then the wife has nothing to worry about.
This is a big one that just doesn't seem to occur to people. If you govern yourself in a manner that doesn't put you in the path of temptation, it simplifies things. If you also do so to avoid situations that appear inappropriate, it does the same.
I'm not exactly a lily white goodie two shoes but I act in a manner designed to not embarrass my husband or ever have him question my fidelity. He does the same. The fact that we both have access to all email, phones etc means neither one of us actually checks.
Maybe some of it is due to age and experience but over time you recognize situations that don't look above board regardless of whether they are so you avoid them.
I also travel frequently for work. I've highlighted the things my wife as access to as well.
I was raised similarly. My parents did not drink out of fear that that would give permission to others to drink.
I'm not afraid of temptation, because I know myself well. Nor do I believe temptation is a sin. I will have a couple drinks with dinner at the hotel bar. But again, I have certain convictions that others do not. Nor would I assume that someone can have the same convictions I do.
My wife also has the ability to see where my phone is at any given time. Why? Because I drive ALOT and spend most of my time in meetings. It helps her feel safe seeing me cruise down the highway, or know that if I'm not responding to a message I'm still in a meeting.
EDIT: I don't look for temptation, but I wouldn't avoid a polite conversation with an attractive woman. I'd converse friendly, if it was obvious that person was flirting, I work my marriage into the conversation or just make my lack of intentions very clear.
This seems needlessly risky to me. Does your wife know your stance on not avoiding temptation, and do you support the same for her?
Once again, this is exactly it for me.
This is almost unavoidable sometimes. I take my son to the playground often enough, and there are always good looking women there in an environment that makes it easy to talk. What gets me is the yoga pants. Geez! Those things are just nuts.
Yes and yes. We've talked about this.
I work in schools and teachers tend to be younger women. I don't seek these conversations or go out of my way to make them happen, but if they do, I don't leave the situation. I suppose to be more clear:
If there is an attractive woman, I might have the conscience thought she's attractive, but I'm not tempted to get her number or thinking about hooking up.
Ah, okay. I suppose I do the same at work.
but if its only that and she was not gonna have sex with the guys, she would not feel guilty at all. I would assume she would justify that as having fun and not doing anything wrong since she did not sleep with the guys.
but he wrote that she acted strangly afterwards ...
Why did you delete your post? I was waiting until I got home to answer, and now it's gone. I was shopping at a big city mall - big doings in my world.
Anyway, I wonder if you deleted it because you thought it would be unkind to say I lost the argument? If so, what I was going to post was that I totally came away thinking I won!

Take your time and appear around to find the best prices. Bid persistently until you have this game you would like.
Stay away from cheat codes in games that depend upon your skill as being a player. You wish to avoid this simply because it is the opposite of the game's purpose. Use cheat tricks and codes for games which can be sports related, that can help to improve the general game play instead of ruining it.

As soon as you play for some time, you can slowly bring the problem level up so there's a greater portion of an issue.
Hanging out playing games could be a wonderful approach to enjoy yourself, but you may also get far more from the experience. Hopefully you might have learned a good deal about getting more away from your games price-other and wise things besides just having fun.

Agile Co-Creation Boosts Rapid Innovations
by Sini Vikkula
Arto Kuusinen comes to meet us with a broad smile. Kuusinen's appointment as Symbio's new CEO in Finland has just been announced and the phones have started ringing. The question on many people's lips is "why Symbio?" Kuusinen offers us coffee and begins his story.
Outside the windows is a view of the tower of the Central Railway Station, with passengers flowing in and out through the doors at its foot. A good vantage point and constant motion have been the defining factors of Kuusinen's twenty-year career. As a consultant and business executive in the ICT industry, he has had a front row view of the crucial transformations in Finnish, Nordic and global business. Right now, he says, we are moving into a new era: a new kind of model of strategic partnership that will open doors for agile and innovative operators like Symbio.
Let's get back to Kuusinen and how he ended up here. His interest in international business was sparked during his student days in the 1980's. After studying international business, Kuusinen graduated as a BBA in the middle of the worst depression in 1992, and wisely decided to continue his MBA studies in Heidelberg.
The ABC of Consulting
The first career turning point was a job at a small Finnish consulting firm, where Kuusinen took his first steps as a consultant.
"Working at a fledgling consulting business was a good school for a fresh graduate. I learned three things during that time: the first is entrepreneurship. When nothing is ready and you have to do everything from the cakes served at meetings yourself, it helps you understand the basics of business. If you don't get a job, you won't get paid."
"The second thing is vision. In business management consulting, you need to be half a step ahead of the clients and the market. If you're not, the additional value you bring is questionable."
"The third is a humble attitude. Expertise must be proven every day. Arrogance is not a characteristic of a good consultant. You can be a smart-aleck only twice: the first time and the last time."
The Beginning of an International Career
As an ambitious person, Kuusinen soon began to yearn for bigger circles, and in 1999, joined Andersen Consulting (currently Accenture), for whom he worked for more than ten years.
"The contrast at the beginning was unbelievable. I came from a company where we did everything ourselves, and suddenly we had pre-installed laptops, luncheon vouchers, a coffee machine, a new office building, a Friday pub night and extravagant training at our own campus in St. Charles near Chicago. I was amazed that people were still complaining about small things. It was evident that if you've never tried things yourself, you can't appreciate what you get."
Around that time, there were about 50,000 people working for the group; today, Accenture employs almost 400,000 people. Kuusinen saw the great growth and transformation in IT consulting from up close.
"At first, there were about a couple of hundred of us in Finland. The growth figures were impressive, but the structure of the business was warped, with most of the business coming from Nokia. There was arrogance in the air, particularly towards the more traditional industrial operators. The years that came changed both the attitude and the business."
Large System Projects and Investments
Another turning point in Kuusinen's career has to do with the major industrial investment projects of the beginning of the millennium. An ultra-modern office in Ruoholahti turned into the bleak scenery of the Tornio steel mill, where he spent the next three years. Doubling Outokumpu's stainless steel production capacity and the optimization and design of the supply chain were among the largest industrial investments in Finnish history – as well as an educational experience in management of change and process management.
"Those years were marked by a steep learning curve. I learned the meaning of true business change. One has to prioritize what is important and meaningful. Things go wrong when you try to be 100% perfect. Usually 80% is enough. The last part is the most labor-intensive and most expensive and doesn't bring corresponding additional value."
Adopting new operating practices and methods is an art form, especially in an environment where things have been done the same way for a long time.
"In the project we led, a new operating practice was adopted just before the summer vacations. People wondered about it, but in fact, the summer workers were quicker to learn the new practice than old employees were. The young ones were already doing things the new way when the old fogeys were still trying to come up with ways of fooling the new system, so that they could keep doing things the same as before."
At the beginning of the millennium, Accenture's clientele quickly broadened to cover the largest operators in the banking and finance sector, commerce and the manufacturing industry. Kuusinen specialized in the manufacturing industry and worked with the most important Finnish industrial companies, such as Kemira, Rautaruukki, Outokumpu and UPM. In the early 2000's, he managed the entire metal industry business in the Nordic countries.
"The vision was to triple the company's revenue. When there is a will to grow, much can be done. Around that time, Outokumpu sold the stainless steel business, giving birth to Avesta Polarit. We were chosen as partners for the integration project. The growth was phenomenal; our team of a few dozen people quickly grew into a unit of 200 persons."
Success bred success and clients were soon knocking at the door. Besides the metal industry, Kuusinen also worked with projects in the chemical and forest industries, of which one of the most memorable was the OneKem project initiated by Lasse Kurkilahti, whose goal was to integrate and develop Kemira's business as a whole.
In retrospect, those years were marked by a strong belief in development and investment. The demand for stainless steel grew, and production was lagging behind. Development focused mainly on increasing the growth and improving the efficiency of production and distribution. The future seemed bright, even though dark clouds were already gathering in the skies of Western industry. Around that time, China started massive multi-billion investments in the steel industry. As a result, the global market was in upheaval in a few years' time. The entrance of the Chinese into the Western markets changed the balance of supply and demand. Suddenly, there was no more demand for the steel produced.
"The whole business logic had been built around the idea that factories operate at maximum utilization rates; at lower rates, they were making losses. This led to pressure to close down production plants. The situation is extremely difficult, if the costs of production and logistics exceed the market price."
Kuusinen has seen the huge transformation in Finnish and Scandinavian industry from up close. He still wants to avoid easy conclusions. The challenges are too complex to be solved through simple solutions.
"There is much talk in the Nordic countries about the costs of labor, but in reality, on the level of automation that things like steel and paper mills are running, it makes little difference whether they are located in countries with cheap or high costs of labor. Of much greater importance are macroeconomic questions and the order and delivery chain in a broader sense – from raw materials to the customer market. One has to find a new competitive edge and reconsider the logic of profit. The freshness of technology and level of automation are also important."
Recently, the field of Finnish industry has been announcing more and more bad news, but there have been opposite signals as well. Kuusinen is optimistic about the future and believes in the ability of companies to re-invent themselves. In the forest industry in particular, things have been rethought and the will to invest is on the rise as well. The most important recent news is Metsä Group's new bio-product factory in Äänekoski, which is an even bigger investment than Outokumpu's once was.
Globalization and Offshore
The third turning point in Kuusinen's career has to do with globalization and a change in Accenture's business model. Up until then, the consulting business had been based on major system integrations. Projects eventually come to an end, however, so Accenture sought to systematically develop business that would produce constant revenue. They found a new focus area in outsourcing services, the demand for which was rising rapidly. In practice, this meant strong growth in India, where skilled labor was available at reasonable cost.
"The development was fast. At the beginning of the millennium, Accenture had about 150 employees in India, but by 2007, it had grown into the largest country for the company with 35,000 employees. In practice, offshore in India became a new way for our clients to save costs and improve the efficiency of processes. Many significant industrial companies took advantage of the opportunity and began to move their functions there."
Kuusinen himself advanced to the position of an Executive Partner and took on even more global tasks in the Foundation Offering unit led by Colin Fulton, which focused on Plant and Automation Solutions for industrial environments.
"Colin asked me to join a global management group and take responsibility for Big Deals. Today, major industrial investments take place mostly in the southern hemisphere. The largest regions of growth at the time were South America, South Africa, the Arabian Peninsula – particularly the United Arab Emirates and Abu Dhabi – Australia and South Korea. For instance, I participated in a huge 228-billion Euro investment project by the Brazilian national oil company Petrobras, which included 60 oil rigs, super tankers and refineries, among other things."
The years abroad were so hectic and involved so much travel that Kuusinen and his family considered moving abroad. During a company reorganization, the Foundation Offering unit was decentralized, however, and Kuusinen returned to Finland to take a breath.
The Rise of the Indian IT Giants
The fourth turning point in Kuusinen's career was the rise of the Indian ICT giants in Europe. The arrival of the Indians in the Western markets dates back all the way to the 1970's, when IBM decided to leave the Indian market. Many of today's global Indian giants were created to fill that gap and to serve the domestic market. At the turn of the millennium, cost pressure increased in the West, and companies turned their eyes to new, developing markets. In this game, India had a few aces up its sleeve: the English language shared by all educated Indians, the highly economic service price and a sufficient number of trained professionals.
In the early 2000's, Indian ICT companies weren't yet terribly interested in European markets and focused on the largest companies mainly in the US and the UK. In ten years, the situation changed, and in recent years, we have seen a real rush of Indian companies to the European market. Kuusinen was interested in the trend and took on the position of Wipro's country manager in Finland after the expiration of the Accenture non-compete term in 2013. Wipro offers information technology, consulting and outsourcing services, is one of the largest and best-known brands in the industry and employs over 170,000 people in 175 cities all over the world.
"One must always be one step ahead. The change was really quick; after a couple of years, the question was not whether we should be doing offshore, but how and how much of it we should be doing."
Not everything can be moved to India, however. One must know the rules of the local market and business, legislation and culture to be able to succeed.
"Trust can't be outsourced. Taking care of a customer relationship locally is the core around which a partnership is built. Indian operators have a very good attitude in that regard. When they enter a new market, they have plenty of humility and agility. The will, the hunger for new business, is palpable."
The Indian business environment made an impression on Kuusinen with its dynamics. If something needed to be done, it was done. The company management had a genuine personal interest in clients, and top management was ready to travel to client meetings personally. They never said there wasn't enough time to do something. Their operating practices, however, were a bit hard to swallow for someone used to the punctual Western culture.
"It was a balancing act on the border between activity and chaos. Really big organizations are more challenging internally than externally. Areas of expertise have been split into small bits, and making holistic offers is like a jigsaw puzzle. A part of Indian culture is that everything happens at last minute, while the Finnish mentality is about reaching one intermediate target at a time. We always managed to put together an offer in the end, however, and during those years I learned that it is also possible to do things that way."
Although services by default are very well packaged and described, Indian companies are skilled at customizing their service concepts in a customer-oriented way. The current operating practices and methodologies allow us to see for what purpose the systems were originally created and identify critical parts and interfaces, even if documentation doesn't exist or is incomplete. At the Tornio factories, for example, the updated system was adopted within a year from Wipro signing an agreement with Outokumpu – despite the fact that factory systems at the foundry and hot rolling mill were originally fully customized and domestically implemented.
"I would argue that the main reason for the success of Indian companies lies in expertise resources. The Indian academic world produces annually people with academic degrees several times more than the UK. The availability and scalability of expertise is almost limitless. Those who have made it through the system and graduated with top grades are exceptional individuals. Talking to these top professionals makes you feel like a rather simple guy."
True Innovations and Artificial Intelligence Accelerate the Future
The amazing growth has slowed down over the past years. The Western markets are saturated, and achieving growth in new regions is significantly more challenging. However, according to Kuusinen, this is a symptom of a bigger change as clients are seeking new growth, instead of or in addition to cost savings. With this realization, the career of Kuusinen moved to a new stage. In August, he started as the CEO of Symbio in Finland. Symbio is specialized in making precisely targeted innovations related to software design and product development, and projects that can be implemented quickly in collaboration with clients.
It has been said that five years' work at a single company is equivalent to one year's work at a consulting company. At best, as a consultant, you may be able to participate in multiple projects of the scope that people working in a single company meet rarely, if ever, during their career. In the turmoil of global economic turbulence and developing technologies, Kuusinen's priorities have remained clear.
"I see the management of customer relationships as a crucial thing. At its core is trust. You can't make an omelet without breaking eggs and there are troubles in every relationship. It is a mistake to think that everything is always going to go smoothly; it won't. The question is how will challenges be fixed and with what kind of attitude. Successes will be celebrated and losses mourned together, as one team and as an integrated part of the client's operation."
With this attitude, one can also succeed in a rapidly changing, heavily networked operating environment. The key drive for change comes from digitalization, an umbrella that covers many directions of development. In Kuusinen's opinion, the most interesting themes are related to true innovations as well as artificial intelligence and robotics. By true innovations, he means inventions, operating practices or technologies that produce new growth.
"There are two lines leading to company top management. In the long line, people tell stories of cost savings, of how operations will be made more efficient and reduced. In the other, much shorter line, are the guys who tell what new technologies enable and how they can be used to create new business. The latter line is the one you should try to get in."
Sharing economy is an example of how to rethink things; today, the world's largest hotel operator doesn't own a single hotel and the largest taxi company doesn't own a single cab. Even more traditional industries like retail have changed radically. For example, the world's largest online store doesn't have a single warehouse.
Development seems obvious, even inevitable, when it has been applied in practice. It is much more difficult to foresee which innovations will create new business. According to Kuusinen, the two worlds – new thinking and traditional business with its revenue generation model – will live side by side for a long time. They should feed each other, not compete with each other. Kuusinen is fascinated by the development of artificial intelligence and robotics, especially bots.
"When systems become self-learning, they will change basic support services entirely. The ones who come through the transformation as winners are the ones who build a service team out of their own core group, a broader partner ecosystem and a combination of humans and bots."
Kuusinen puts down his coffee cup and ponders for a moment. Recently, the father of five has been wondering particularly about what the future will look like and what it will mean to individuals. The oldest children are already being trained for working life, while the youngest is still in diapers. The only thing that is certain is that traditional, linear careers will no longer exist in the future.
"For the individual, development with a fast cycle is a challenge. You shouldn't worry about how the world will change tomorrow, but about how it will change the day after. For today's youth, the world will look quite different in middle age from the way we experience it now. In the future, there will be more need for hybrid expertise, the ability to broadly combine various areas of expertise. The skill race will get even tougher with more educated people pouring in from developing countries. In the future, basic skills won't be enough."
Agile Co-Creation Boosts Rapid Innovations
Basic skills are no longer enough for companies, either. Big consulting firms who rode on the wave of the efficiency boom are also trying to come up with new kinds of service models. The need for improving efficiency is not going away, but it will be accompanied by development bursts with short cycles.
"In the future, we will be facing a major transformation. The big operators in the ICT industry are used to making up the rules and choosing their clients. At worst, they have arrogantly dictated the terms of partnership and hoarded the IPR's. Co-Creation, where new operating models are created together, is the way things will be done in the future. It opens new doors for operators that can be small and agile."
Agility and speed are currently being sought in many different ways. According to Kuusinen, the demand for doing things in this manner is palpable. Large companies are looking for small, agile companies as partners; hackathons and startup hubs have come to stay. Kuusinen wonders aloud how the public sector with its rigid procurement mechanisms can keep up with the speed of development. At the very least, it should be able to collaborate with the private sector in new, innovative ways. A good example of this is the city of Gothenburg, which has started a pilot project for self-driving cars in collaboration with Volvo. If the public sector opened itself to this type of operation, it would enable many new services and speed up development.
"It's hard to ask for a tender offer for new innovations. Instead, you need to create ecosystems and platforms that draw innovative players. There will be a gap in the market for new players. Although Symbio is a small player on the global scale, we have strong expertise and proof of prior experience, a good international presence, a strong foothold in the North American market and a good delivery arm in China."
What Symbio's diverse and multi-disciplinary projects have in common is the utilization of new kind of technology. At one extreme end is the Adidas interactive shop window and 24/7 online store, created together with the advertising agency TBWA, which won the most prestigious advertising award in the industry, the Golden Lion in Cannes. At the other client end, one can find Sandvik, which produces machinery and equipment for mining and construction companies. Robots can be sent into a mine immediately after a detonation. Without the need for lengthy withdrawal periods, work can be resumed immediately, which significantly improves efficiency. One of Symbio's strong, internationally recognized fields of expertise is innovation in autonomous cars and ships. The company's reference can also be seen in the Volvo CarPlay integration of the newest Volvo XC 90 SUV.
When talking about projects in progress, the otherwise open and talkative Kuusinen chooses his words carefully. Unfinished client projects are top secret, and often don't become public even upon completion. Often Symbio's role is to act as a grey eminence that realizes the client's dreams, but is invisible on the outside. In the future, this too may change.
"A new way of doing things requires an even better ability to create and maintain functional, network-like ecosystems. Customer-orientation and creating client value requires the ability to orchestrate open and diverse networks. A controlling attitude are beginning to crumble. Companies don't even need to pretend to be doing everything themselves, but build the kind of ecosystem where everybody pulls together in the name of the client's best interests."
Symbio will be attending the following events as a solution provider:

Seamus Justin Heaney, MRIA (/ˈʃeɪməs ˈhiːni/; 13 April 1939 – 30 August 2013) was an Irish poet, playwright, translator and lecturer, and the recipient of the 1995 Nobel Prize in Literature.[1][2] In the early 1960s, he became a lecturer in Belfast after attending university there and began to publish poetry. He lived in Sandymount, Dublin, from 1976 until his death.[2][3][4] Following his receiving the 2012 Griffin Poetry Prize, Heaney was recognized as one of the principal contributors to poetry in the early 21st century Heaney was a professor at Harvard from 1981 to 1997 and its Poet in Residence from 1988 to 2006. From 1989 to 1994, he was also the Professor of Poetry at Oxford and, in 1996, was made a Commandeur de l'Ordre des Arts et Lettres. Other awards that he received include the Geoffrey Faber Memorial Prize (1968), the E. M. Forster Award (1975), the PEN Translation Prize (1985), the Golden Wreath of Poetry (2001), the T. S. Eliot Prize (2006) and two Whitbread Prizes (1996 and 1999).[5][6] In 2012, he was awarded the Lifetime Recognition Award from the Griffin Trust For Excellence In Poetry. His literary papers are held by the National Library of Ireland.
Robert Lowell described him as "the most important Irish poet since Yeats", and many others, including the academic John Sutherland, have echoed the sentiment that he was "the greatest poet of our age".[5][6] Robert Pinsky has stated that "with his wonderful gift of eye and ear Heaney has the gift of the story-teller."[7] Upon his death in 2013, The Independent described him as "probably the best-known poet in the world."[8]

P Cisse (90+4)
M Carcela-Gonzalez ( 55)
Newcastle vs A Mak'kala
Europa League Round of 16 8:05pm Thursday 14th March St James' Park, Newcastle (Att: 45487)
Last Updated: 14/03/13 9:57pm
Full Time. And that's it! What a dramatic finish. Marveaux with the cross from the right wing and Cisse heads the ball back where it came from past Gabulov.
Eto'o with a rare break and he tries to beat Elliot at the near post from an acute angle. The keeper is up to the challenge.
Tiote with a silly foul to relieve the pressure. Eto'o wants a card presumably on the basis that it wasn't the first of the night from the Magpies midfielder.
Marveaux crosses for Ciss who heads at goal but is ruled offside. It was a brilliant save from Gabulov who wasn't to know.
At the other end Eto'o brings the ball down well unchallenged from a long ball but then fires over the bar. He cannot be afforded that kind of space.
Anita booked. Bad challenge. Could even have been a red card because he's left the studs on the ankle there. That's the last thing Newcastle need to do surely.
Carcela-Gonzalez is off! Unnecessary challenge on Haidara. He was sucked in by a poor pass to the left-back but when he charged in the ball was nicked away. Perhaps a little harsh but foolish stuff from the Anzhi man.
Chance! Marveaux swings in the ball and Cisse gets his effort all wrong. But the ball falls nicely for Taylor six yards out. He just has to tuck it away but can only find Gabulov instead.
Handball given on the right flank and there are cheers from the home crowd as the referee tumbles while awarding the free-kick.
Chance! Sissoko wastes another headed chance. Good diagonal ball from Tiote that is well controlled by Marveaux and his cross finds Sissoko but he can get no real contact on it.
Chance! Sissoko has an opening but completely messes up his kick. When the ball comes out to Santon he swings in a cross and Sissoko heads over.
Half Time. Still no goals in this tie. Anzhi having the better of it and the threat of the away goal looms for Newcastle. They'll need to improve.
Marveaux with a darting run trying to beat three men. He gets past two but the tackle comes in near the byline.
Newcastle just keep giving the ball away in their own half. Anzhi dominating but can't pick the lock. Now Eto'o overhits a pass when well-placed 20 yards out.
Chance! Yanga-Mbiwa with a ridiculous ball out from the back from a free-kick. Eto'o sets up Ahmedov but the Anzhi man misses the target at the near post.
Santon is fouled allowing Newcastle to swing a ball into the box but Cisse cannot get on the end of it.
Taylor cleverly ducks the ball after a shout from Elliot and Newcastle can ease the pressure. But the goalkeeper boots the ball upfield for Cisse to chase and possession is lost.
Fouls in quick succession by Cabaye and Tiote. Newcastle midfielders will get punished soon if they keep this up.
Difficult to know what to make of this Newcastle performance. They've been more than in the game but Anzhi have had the clearer chances. You'd fancy Pardew will be concerned by how open this is looking at times.
Joao Carlos nearly stretches to get his head to a free-kick from the right but can only head out of play.
Chance! Cross loops in and lands at the feet of Ahmedov but is cleared. Then Newcastle give the ball away on the edge of their own area when Elliot rolls the ball out to Tiote but Diarra's shot is blocked.
Eto'o plays a superb one-two to get away down the right and the cross almost falls kindly to Diarra but Taylor is eventually able to clear.
Neat trickery from Marveaux on the right beats his man and then a powerful left-foot shot fizzes past the near post.
Good possession now from the home side but Haidara's pass is lax and allows Diarra to plough forwards. The midfielder misplaces his pass to return to favour.
Chance! Eschenko strolls past several Newcastle defenders and threads a pass through to Eto'o but the star man drags his low shot wide of the far post.
Marveaux with a run forward that lifts the crowd. They're ready to get in support of their team tonight. But Cisse cannot retrieve the pass.
Thanks for all your messages. The players are out on the field at St James' Park. We'll be underway shortly.
Jack: "Newcastle played well away in the first leg and should get an easy victory tonight in front of the home fans!! Big game ahead!"
Alan is watching another game in Bordeaux but he's been in touch. "I'm emailing from Bordeaux before we kick off here against Benfica and just some words of support for NUFC back home," he says. "Think they'll go through as Eto'o was silenced two weeks ago. It might take extra time with Cabaye the match winner. Newcastle having a great run in the EL, don't know what Rifat is on about! Hoping for a home win for Les Girondins too!"
Messages from all over the world tonight. Lee is in Monaco but he's not too optimistic. He says: "Although I am a Toon fan I think Anita and Elliot are the two weak links tonight resulting in another miserable night for NUFC fans... Newcastle 1-4 Anzhi."
No Willian for Anzhi this evening but, with Samuel Eto'o in attack, Newcastle must be wary. There can't have been many better strikers in the world game over the past decade than Eto'o, a three-time Champions League winner.
Alan Pardew might not know whether to stick or twist tonight. He'll be desperate not to concede an away goal but knows his team must win. It would be a good night for Papiss Cisse to bring his best game. With Cabaye loading the bullets you'd think he'll have chances tonight.
Rifat sees it differently. He says: "Anzhi will win this comfortably in my opinion with the like E'too and Diarra. Hoping for a cracking game tonight. Just hope Anzhi qualify because they have a better chance of winning the competition than Newcastle who are having a miserable season...3-0 to Anzhi."
"Billy here. Avid toon fan. Newcastle have looked impressive coming off of three straight home wins. Toon to progress, 1-0 the score. Marveaux to pull all the strings along with Cabaye. Howay the Lads!"
Lindsay: "I cannot see Newcastle keeping a clean sheet tonight against Anzhi who have looked a pretty good team in their other European games I will go for a 0-2 result and have backed my opinion already."
Jossiah: "Cabaye is almost unplayable since his return from injury. Newcastle should progress tonight, 2-1 is my prediction."
Ivo: "I think Newcastle will win this leg 2-0, all set for us to be the last Premier League team in Europe! Come on Newcastle!"
Newcastle: Elliot, Santon, S. Taylor, Yanga-Mbiwa, Haidara, Anita, Tiote, Cabaye, Marveaux, Cisse, Sissoko.
Anzhi: Gabulov, Eschenko, Joao Carlos, Ewerton, Zhirkov, Jucilei, Diarra, Ahmedov, Gonzalez, Boussoufa, Eto'o.
Any predictions ahead of the game? Let me know by email at firstname.lastname@example.com or on Twitter @GhostGoal.
Our friends at Sky Bet make Newcastle 5/4 favourites to win this one. Anzhi are 11/5 underdogs and the draw is at 23/10.
But Anzhi will be well aware that an away goal tonight could prove crucial. It all makes for an intriguing contest.
The scores are level after a goalless draw in Russia in the first leg. The Magpies were happy enough with that result as they know a win this evening will see them through to the quarter-finals.
Welcome to live and interactive commentary on the second leg of the Europa League last-16 clash between Newcastle United and Anzhi Makhachkala at St James' Park.

When Ben Cherington is introduced as general manager Tuesday, it's expected that other promotions within the Red Sox' Baseball Operations department will be announced -- either Tuesday or soon after.
With both current San Diego GM Jed Hoyer and his assistant, Jason McLeod -- both of whom worked for Theo Epstein in Boston -- set to join Epstein in Chicago, the Red Sox are not expected to lose any of their Baseball Operations staff.
It's expected Mike Hazen will be promoted to assistant GM, in effect taking Cherington's current role. It's unclear who will take over Hazen's current job as director of player development, in charge of the minor-league system.
Allard Baird, who has been Epstein's chief major league scout the last few seasons, is expected to remain in that role under Cherington.

Tenth and Court Street - In 1845 William and Mary Jane Wood purchased the corner lot from Jason Torrey and built a house facing Court Street. In 1865 the Trustees voted "to purchase the property of William Wood for $4,000 and the land between there and the church for $2,000." The house was used as a residence for the pastor for the next three decades. The Rev. W. H. Swift and his wife had five children and were overflowing the old parsonage. R. M. Stocker's History of the Presbyterian Society quotes the Clerk of Sessions in 1898: "During the past year the parsonage has been erected at a cost of $4819. and nearly all of this sum has been contributed by the congregation during the process of construction. The ladies have furnished carpets, curtains, and gas fixtures at an additional cost of $396. The material is of wood style of architecture, Continental. It has all the modern improvements and is a model of convenience and beauty. C. E. Decker of New York was architect and John D. Bryant of Honesdale, builder."

Discounting under Uncertainty
Suppose asset pricing is governed by the CAPM or the ICAPM, and the expected one-period simple returns on the net cash flows of investment projects are constant through time. Then the net cash flows are priced by discounting their expected values with their expected one-period simple returns. But when net cash flows are priced by discounting their expected values with constant CAPM or ICAPM expected one-period simple returns, distributions of net cash flows more than one period ahead are likely to be skewed right. Expected payoffs are then larger than median pay-offs, and expected pay-offs are progressively more unusual outcomes for longer investment horizons. Copyright 1996 by University of Chicago Press.

Why It's Never Too Late
Do you think that age 72 is too late to start over? Why? Why not? A friend of mine is doing just that. It's not by choice, but she's grabbing hold of life with both hands and believing that she can re-make it into what she needs and wants it to be. I've watched her evolve from someone who was seriously co-dependent and who suffered from extreme tunnel vision into … click here to read more
