Can we see Multnomah Falls and the Oneonta Gorge in one day?
You can absolutely visit both the waterfalls and then make the "loop" around the mountain to visit Mt. Hood thanks to extended summer daylight hours, or if you plan on getting an early start. I would suggest taking I-84 east, then taking the Corbett exit to join the historic highway. While most people start in Troutdale, you really won't be missing any of the major sights, and this will save yo…

By Christopher Pollitt and Geert Bouckaert
The relationship between poltics, public management, and public opinion is a contentious area, and one in which systemic data are at best patchy. Having made these caveats, we will attempt to draw out a few broad propositions from the evidence advanced above.
First, public management reforms have altered the relationships between elected and appointed officials, in a number of countries and in a number of ways. In this sense, at least, they are not 'neutral'. It seems likely that these changes have been greatest in the core NPM countries, somewhat less in the northern group of European countries, and smallest in the central European group. Second, there is an absence of convincing evidence concerning the willingness or ability of executive politicians to become the the 'strategic managers' of their portfolios. The kindest thing that could be said about the reform models that cast politicians in such roles would be that they are unproven and seem to fly in the face of known incentives to behave in a more traditional 'political' fashion. Third, managers do appear to have gained extra authority in a number of ways but at the same time political control has been vigorously reasserted in many of the twelve countries. There is no necessary contradiction between these two developments – the public sector is large and diverse enough for both to be happening at the same time. In specific cases, however, there may be a quite definite tension. Fourth, any suggestion that public management can be radically depoliticized [...] is either a misunderstanding or flies in the face of evidence from many countries. The allocation of, say, health care resources or decisions about educational standards or major public infrastructure projects are all inherently 'political' decisions, whether they are taken by powerful politicians or tough public managers (or, indeed, medical doctors or teachers). The public will often see the political authority as ultimately responsible – or, at least, sharing responsibility – however much ministers may protest that these are technical or professional decisions which have been taken by the appropriate officials. Fifth, there is a certain ambiguity in much of the rhetoric around strengthening accountability and increasing transparency, in so far as the executive politicians have used the new politics/administration split to redefine policy weaknesses as managerial failures. This enables political leaders to shuffle off direct responsibilities for things going wrong – or, at least, to try to. Furthermore, it appears that legislatures have been slow to take up and use the increased flow of performance data which greater transparency and the contemporary emphasis on outputs and outcomes afford. [...] one might say that even when a 'real result' manages to climb over the conceptual, methodological, and political barriers, and escapes into the wider public world, it is often left wandering around looking for an audience. Sixth, few of the specific reforms appear to have been undertaken in direct response to 'public opinion' – although some such rationale has quite often been claimed. Privatization, the introduction of market mechanisms, downsizing, and the promotion of PI systems are the products of elite, not popular, agendas (even if public opinion has subsequently accepted some of these innovations and begun to make use of them). The sector of greatest tension would appear to be the welfare state, the basic elements of which remain enduringly popular in most countries but the expense of which inevitably draws it into the line of fire of the cost-cutters and downsizers [...] Seventh, any simple picture of public opinion as being 'for' or 'against' 'big government' is misleading. Such evidence as is available shows that, however limited the public's knowledge may be of the specifics of reform, popluar attitudes towards government are multifaceted and, in some respects, quite sophisticated.

The shelf on which the village of Crovie is perched is so narrow, it only has room for a row of cottages and the footpath in front of them.
Only a few feet from the cottages there is a drop to the rocky foreshore and the sea. Visitors are strongly encouraged not to drive down to the village itself. There is a car park and viewpoint on the cliffs above, complete with a wooden sculpture of a woman. It is a fair walk from there down to and (especially) back up from the village, and there is another car park just above the final hairpin bend descending to the shore. From here steps and a path lead to the harbour area in the centre of Crovie.

Makes it soud like you have a giant cavernous cunt.
Broken hair brush handles
I was hooking up with a girl for a while. One time I went to take a piss in the middle of the night and saw a Maxi pad wrapper in the trash. I was so grossed out by the idea of her lying next to me without a plug in her hole that I got dressed and left. No joke.
I got even sicker on the way home when it hit me that I had gone down on her that night too. Yuck.
one of my female friends in HS wasn't allowed to go tampon.
her religious mom thought it would make her not a virgin
once your done with the tampons you need the piss pads---it never ends

Designed to create a medium bright tone.
The DV Chicago model silver-plated metal tenor saxophone mouthpiece is the culmination of a quest by Jody Espina to make the most efficient saxophone mouthpiece that delivers the biggest, fullest sound. This mouthpiece comes with Theo Wanne's innovative cap, ligature and pouch.
The DV CHI produces a darker tone than the contemporary sound of the JodyJazz DV, but a considerably brighter and more modern tone than the JodyJazz DV NY. The beautifully shaped baffle/chamber design of the DV CHI produces a tone that is reminiscent of Dexter Gordon, but is quite at home in a contemporary situation.
Simply put, the DV CHI combines the best properties of the highly successful DV and DV NY series while adding several new design modifications which enhance the player's ability to manipulate their tone. The scalloped chamber also allows the player to push more air through the mouthpiece without experiencing any harshness.

The Falling Leaves
Words by Max Leonard
When the professional peloton take to the roads between Milan and Como for the Race of the Falling Leaves this coming Saturday, there's a good chance the foglie morte will still be clinging to their branches. The UCI last year ordered the Lombardia move two weeks forward, ostensibly so that participants can make the most of their World Champs form. It also makes room for a new ProTour race, the Tour of Hangzhou.
The Lombardia is the final Monument of the season, the traditional bookend to spring's Milan-Sanremo and, while there are an increasing amount of exotic and sunny leg-stretchers at the beginning of the year for those who are fast out of the traps – not to mention the Omloop and Kuurne-Brussel-Kuurne – to trump the Lombardia seems somehow wrong. With due respect to Huangzhou – which has been cancelled in its debut year [ inrng.com] due to inadequate preparation, adding to the farce – the race has lost before it has even started.

Firstly it's fitting that the European season, baptised in cycle-mad Flanders, is laid to rest in style, in the heartland of Italian cycling. Design blog ElCyclista accompanies its evocative pictures of the region with the note that: "They live and breathe riding here. Lombardia has over 700 registered cycling clubs with over 12,000 members. If you are wondering what they all do for the year, they have a choice of over 1200 races to choose from" [ Elcyclista]
Secondly is that it seems so embedded in cycling ancestry. Traditionally the final top-level race in the calendar, and a Monument to boot, it often takes in the legendary climb to the Madonna del Ghisallo chapel, a shrine to cycling's history and heroes. It's also somewhat of a final jolly, seeming to connect back to the time when riders – even the greatest – were winding down their road seasons and preparing for the six day races or a winter of cyclocross.

Historically, the race belongs to Coppi who has a record five wins. (In '46, '48 and '49, he took Milan-Sanremo, too, and in '49 the Giro and the Tour as well. Busy man.) His mentor Alfredo Binda has four, and the names left trailing, but victorious, in their wake read like a roll-call of Italian greats: Constante Girardengo, Cino Cinelli (one of his two Classics wins) and Gino Bartali; Motta, Bitossi, Gimondi and Moser. Sean Kelly won three times, Merckx and De Vlaeminck twice; Hinault, with characteristic sound and fury, set the seal on an unforgettable year in 1979 with a win in Como, and when the young Professor, Fignon, took the Tour, took the Lombardia again as if in compensation. Tom Simpson is the race's only British winner, in 1965, the year he was also world champion.
It's actually the most mutable of Monuments. Look back and you'll find that in its first incarnation, in 1905, it started and ended in Milan; since then, it has moved to almost every major town in Lombardy, the green, forested region in the lee of the Alps which rises towards the mountains from the industrial plain around Milan. In 2004, it even started in Switzerland. And for the first twenty years or so, it took place in mid November, when those leaves were well and truly fallen and the riders must have been wishing that the architects would hurry up with Milan's Vigorelli velodrome, not built until 1935.
Perhaps it's because its character and imagery are so firmly imprinted in the mind that it can be moved so much: the sharp, autumnal reds, oranges and greens contrasting with the pastel colours of the resort towns; the smooth black tarmac shining with surface water as against the deep green hills; the mists rising off the lake. When the weather's kind, it's the model to which all autumn riding must measure up. Close your eyes, and there it is – what's the Italian for 'mellow fruitfulness'? Of course, when it's absolutely chucking it down, it's good fun too, or at least to watch. Yet when the weather is too good – like last year's warm, sunny Falling Leaves – it loses something. And by taking place earlier in the year, it risks being diminished too much, too soon.
The Rapha Lombardia Jersey was inspired by this most romantic of classics, looking to a story which delves back into a darker era, to the time of the sport's first supervillain, Giovanni Gerbi. The 'Diavolo Rosso', as he was known, won the race's first edition, in 1905, on 12th November.
Never before has the Lombardia taken place in September. It is now being held six weeks earlier than it was in Gerbi's time. The Diavolo Rosso would scarcely recognise it now, in its modern pomp, beamed live into homes in scores of countries around the world. It is still the last Classic in the season, can still be a career highlight or burnish an already successful palmarès. In the last five years it's seen gutsy rides from big names such as Bettini, Cunego and Gilbert, all of whom have won twice or more, and the lesser-known Oliver Zaugg, whose well-placed attack won the race last year. Whatever the outcome this year, it'll be a race worth celebrating.

What a nice surprise. I hadn't seen a photo of the old house in Paynes Creek in ages. Probably isn't there anymore. We've met, though I was just an youngster and don't remmeber it. My Sister Delores remembers you. I recall hearing your name though. My father is Jerome Mankins. Maym is his/our Aunt (his mothers sister). Lena is my great grandmother. We used to spend a week or so there several times a year when I was growing up during the 50's. I can recall getting the crap beat out of me by Grama Lena in checkers while sitting on the front porch of that old house. She'd always stack the checkers up and point at them an laugh afterward. I noticed Mayms rooster Tweet is in one of the photos. He used to chase us kids around the house, and wasn't shy about attacking grownups also, so I'm sure you had a confrontation with him on more than one occassion. Last time I talked to Beverly, she told me one of her sons was learning the Maidu language from you, and that she tries to get down to see you perodically. Nice to know the language won't die. My Son ran across your book "The Maidu Indian Myths and Stories of Hanc'ibyjim" back in the 90's and bought me a copy. Brought a tear to my eye when I read the forward which mentions Maym and Lena. Well, Best wishes, and thanks for posting those photos. Dave - David Mankins, Fri, 22 Apr 2011 10:18PM | ||

Women's 100: Professional Advice
Words by Julie Krasniak | Photos by J. Dunn
Julie Krasniak, from the French city of Metz, began riding at 12 years old and by the age of 14 was racing mountain bikes. Between her brother, father, grandfather and great grandfather, the Krasniaks have won over a thousand races. Julie currently resides stateside in Portland OR where she races for Rapha-FOCUS. Here she offers some professional advice for the Women's 100.
For as long as I can remember, riding an Etape du Tour or any 100km plus ride has represented one of the toughest challenges any amateur or accomplished cyclist can face. Cycling non-stop, for three hours or more requires, more than anything, preparation.
"Hit the road with a full stomach."
If you had to write a list of the must-haves for this challenge, your number one priority will always be nutrition. The meal the night before is vital – a good plate of pasta, quinoa, rice, bulgur wheat, lentils. It's also worthwhile avoiding alcohol and overly fatty foods in the days running-up to the race to ensure your liver is in top form. A small sacrifice that's well worth making! And you'll certainly need to take some solid food with you for the ride itself. Sports nutrition companies offer a wide range of products, but traditional food also has its place – dried mango or papaya or nuts such as almonds are healthy and free of chemical additives. Fruit and almond bars are also stalwarts for snacking in the saddle. I've even been known to tuck a croissant in my pocket!
"Take in fluids right from the very start."
You'll also need to replace the litres of water your body will sweat out. You can use low-glucose energy powders such as maltodextrin to prepare an ideal drink for a long cycle. Too much sugar in your drink will ultimately make you feel thirstier and, more importantly, cause your blood glucose levels to peak, and that will generally mean hypoglycaemia. You need to drink and eat right from the beginning, and by that I mean the very first few kilometres. That's the first lesson professional cyclists learn. Drink before you start to feel the need, because once you're actually thirsty, it's already too late. A coke during the last 15 kilometres will often work if you're looking for an extra burst of energy and a clear head!
"Check your equipment."
When you're setting off on a long ride, there's nothing worse than a bike that's not working properly with a poorly oiled chain or worn tires. A full, timely check-up of your bike is absolutely vital because the sort of incidents that can occur on a cycle ride can take on dramatic proportions when you're 50km or more away from home or your destination. Make sure that doesn't happen to you by booking your bike in for a check-over at your local bike shop beforehand.
If you want all your bases covered, pack a full essentials kit: One or more inner tubes, a pump, some CO2 cartridges (not very green, but effective) and a multi-tool. Plus, if you know how to use it, a pocket chain tool with a quick link takes up hardly any room and could come in very handy.
"Prepare your equipment."
The key to setting off on a nice relaxed ride is in knowing what to expect, and that's not always easy! If you're planning a 100km ride, the advice is simple: build up to it with shorter distances beforehand. For the sake of your behind, as well as your back. Strangely enough, the biggest source of pain on a long ride is the friction on your hands, very uncomfortable. Having the right equipment is the key to cycling.
In terms of technique, there is no question that the best way to approach the 100km is by building up to it with three or four 60-70 km rides first.
"The right equipment."
The basic must-have kit all cyclists need to invest in is some proper cycling shorts and a good pair of gloves. Just before you set off, go out and assess the temperature, even if you've already checked the weather forecast for the day. This is the best way to ascertain humidity levels and whether the day is likely to warm up. The basic cycling accessories for a cycle ride over three hours are: a neck tube, a small cap, shoe covers, a sleeveless top or waterproof gilet. These things will fold up small enough to fit into the pockets of your jersey. There's no point in wearing too many clothes, but it's not worth running the risk of getting caught out if the temperature drops because of a rain shower or after descending a hill.
"Know where you're going!"
Good knowledge of the route is a major asset if you want to manage your energy levels. The uphill segments are the most intense, and you'll struggle to drink or eat during these, which is where knowing your route comes in handy. If you know when there's a descent or flat stretch, you can use it to eat and hydrate. For an endurance 100km route you need to know how to manage your energy effectively, never letting your levels fall into the danger zone. For example, if you push too hard at the start of a 40 km ride, during an ascent of even just 5 or 6 minutes, your body may just give up because you've asked too much of it. You need to learn to stay within your limits, come what may. The safest way to do this is to jot down a breakdown of the route and set it on your handlebars - then you'll be able to check your progress using an ordinary speedometer.
"Cycle in a group."
If you can cycle in a group, which is a significant advantage the first time you set your sights on the 100km, it's best to choose cyclists of a similar level. The idea is to steer clear of the wheels of the other members of the group as efficiently as possible, and to take turns making the pace, without pushing yourself too hard. After 80 km, if you're still feeling in good shape, now's the time to steam ahead, drawing on those last energy reserves.
"Devise a plan."
Everyone needs a plan when they are training. Below is just an example but breaking it up across the months is an effective way to do it, but you should always make it flexible to suit you and your lifestyle: If you work during the week, take it easy on Saturday and go harder on Sunday. Don't do the full ride if the weather is bad. Take the best of the weather, if it's bad on Sunday or sunshine on Saturday, just switch, do a little bit longer on Saturday. If you miss a ride, it's cool, don't worry. Don't ride if you are sick and cut the ride if you are too tired…
If you follow this plan, which might take 3 to 5 hours per week, you will have ridden 1500km by July 7th.

text: Rush Limbaugh today called a women's health advocate and Georgetown Law student a "slut." The Huffington Post transcribed Limbaugh's comments on Sandra Fluke, who'd spoken to a Democratic panel on the benefits of birth control: "[Fluke] testifies she's having so much sex she can't afford her own birth control pills, and she wants President Obama to provide them, or the Pope. ... What does it say about the college co-ed Susan [sic] Fluke, who goes before a congressional committee and essentially says that she must be paid to have sex. What does that make her? It makes her a slut, right? It makes her a prostitute." Limbaugh then corrected himself: "So she's not a slut. She's round-heeled." Round-heeled, for the record, means "slut."

Great purchase, as described and worth the money. Even comes with a thank you note from the people who made the pendant.
I bought this for someone that went through a very hard time and did it with grace. When I gave it to her she loved it.
the words inscribed on this little necklace perfectly described one of my granddaughters, and she was pleased to receive it!
Very pretty simple necklace that said what I wanted to say.....Liked it.
This was a gift for a friend going through some rough times. She absolutly loved it and it brought her to tears! She will treasure it for years! Just note that the chain is very delicate and it should of probably have been shipped differently to avoid it from being knotted when I received it. No worries though, I was able to get the chain untangeled and presented it to her in a lovely gift box.
Very nice Product! Wish I had bought it for myself.
It took me a long time looking for something that I felt reflected and I want my daughter to think of herself and to wear like a badge of honor. She is the bravest person I know.
I got this to give to my soon-to-be step-daughter as a gift on my wedding day. She's a very strong, independent young woman (all in good ways) and I want to let her know how wonder and special she is by just being herself. The pendant is smaller than I thought it would be, but she's not a girly-girl and doesn't wear much jewelry, so the size will probably be good for her! I hope the sizing and quality of the chain is good... I'm not sure about it yet as our wedding isn't until May 2014 so I won't be giving it to her until then. I ordered it early because I saw it, immediately thought of her and wanted to get it to make sure it wouldn't sell out before the wedding. I hope she likes it!
Purchased as a gift. It was well received and the wording though short , are very encouraging and powerful .
Bought this as graduation and congratulations gift for my daughter who joined the military. She wore it once and the back of the pendant and thr the chain turned black. Very very disappointed.

Brian Butterworth hopes that his number games will help dyscalculic children — and open a window on how the brain processes numbers.

"As a sex writer, Jesse Bering is fearless—and peerless." —Dan Savage "You are a sexual deviant. A pervert, through and through." We may not want to admit...
Read More »
In the mid-1980s, Paul Moorcraft, then a war correspondent, journeyed with a film crew into Afghanistan to produce a documentary about the fifth anniversary of the Soviet invasion. The trip took them behind Soviet lines. "We were attacked every fucking day by the Russians," says the colorful Welshman. But the real trouble started later, when Moorcraft tried to tally his expenses, such as horses and local garb for his crew. Even with a calculator, the simple sums took him ten times longer than they should have. "It was an absolute nightmare. I spent days and days and days." When he finally sent the bill to an accountant, he had not realized that after adding a zero he was claiming millions of pounds for a trip that had cost a couple of hundred thousand. "He knew I was an honest guy and assumed that it was just a typo."
Such mistakes were part of a lifelong pattern for Moorcraft, now director of the Center for Foreign Policy Analysis in London and the author of more than a dozen books. He hasn't changed his phone number or PIN in years for fear that he would never remember new ones, and when working for Britain's Ministry of Defense he put subordinates in charge of remembering safe codes. In 2003, a mistaken phone number — one of hundreds before it — lost him a girlfriend who was convinced he was out gallivanting. That finally convinced him to seek an explanation.
At the suggestion of a friend who teaches children with learning disabilities, Moorcraft contacted Brian Butterworth, a cognitive neuroscientist at University College London who studies numerical cognition. After conducting some tests, Butterworth concluded that Moorcraft was "a disaster at arithmetic" and diagnosed him with dyscalculia, a little-known learning disability sometimes called number blindness and likened to dyslexia for maths. Researchers estimate that as much as 7% of the population has dyscalculia, which is marked by severe difficulties in dealing with numbers despite otherwise normal (or, in Moorcraft's case, probably well above normal) intelligence.
That combination has attracted neuroscientists such as Butterworth, who believe that the disorder illuminates the inner workings of the brain's number sense — the ability to understand and manipulate quantities. This sense is every bit as innate as vision or hearing, yet scientists disagree over its cognitive and neural basis, a debate that dyscalculics may help to settle.
For Butterworth, scientific curiosity eventually gave way to advocacy. "I thought, it's not enough to just try to identify the cause," he says. In the past decade, he has crusaded to get dyscalculia recognized — by parents, teachers, politicians and anyone who will listen. And he is using his scientific insights into the condition to help dyscalculic children. "What's the point of telling someone they have dyscalculia if you can't help them?" he says.
Finding the number
Christopher, a chatty nine-year-old in a rumpled blue sweatshirt and white polo shirt, sits beside Patricia Babtie, a teacher who specializes in dyscalculia and tutors children across Greater London. On a sturdy-looking laptop, Christopher (not his real name) is navigating Number Sense, a suite of educational computer games designed by Butterworth and his colleague Diana Laurillard at the Institute of Education in London.

DMA Bolsters Consumer Choice with Expanded Opt-Out Service
August 16, 2012 The Direct Marketing Association (DMA) today announced the expansion of its suppression tool that allows consumers to exercise greater choice over the mail they receive. DMAchoice.org, DMAs longstanding online tool that helps consumers manage their mail preferences, is now available to marketers using the Postal Services new product, Every Door Direct Mail (EDDM).
In July, The US Postal Service introduced its Every Door Direct Mail (EDDM) a service that lets businesses deliver advertising mail within specified zip codes without having to supply names and addresses thus allowing postal carriers to deliver promotional mail to every patron on their route. To ensure that consumers suppression choices continue to be honored within this system, DMA has launched an easy, cost-effective suppression service for EDDM to honor consumer choice to opt out of EDDM.
The expanded EDDM opt-out service bolsters DMAchoice by adding a new component for local printers and marketers who want to do the right thing, and honor consumer choice to opt out of EDDM. said Senny Boone, DMAs senior vice president of corporate and social responsibility. This tool is good for business, helps consumers with their mail choices, and builds consumer confidence in the mail.
How the System Works
Commercial mailers use facing sheets containing instructions for letter carriers as well as a barcode used in processing. Through DMAs EDDM service, the addresses of individuals that have notified DMA of their desire NOT to receive any promotional material will be printed on the facing sheets so they may be excluded from the delivery.
Consumers who do not wish to receive mail addressed to all residences/businesses on a postal route may opt out by placing their names on DMAchoice or DMA's EDDM opt-out list. Businesses seeking to subscribe through DMAs service provider can subscribe online or download the subscription agreement.
For more information, contact Senny Boone at email@example.com, or via firstname.lastname@example.com.

Savannah DaCruz is a graduate of BMC Durfee High School and has been accepted at Salve Regina University in Newport, R.I. She plans to major in English communications and minor in creative writing.
Savannah is a non-traditional student. Shortly after moving to Fall River her mother was diagnosed with Stage 4 lung cancer and passed away her freshman year of high school. This experience is a motivation in Savannah's life and she wishes to pursue opportunities her mom would have liked to see.
A ten-minute walk from her house, Battleship Cove became the perfect place to ponder her thoughts and practice running. She participated in B.M.C Durfee girls track and field and cross country. At the end of the season she was awarded Cross Country's Coach's award. She was also a student in Durfee's Health Assisting program. She chose this class freshman year not with the intention of pursing a career in nursing, but to seek an opportunity in which she could gain perspective on the disabled. Caring for her mom while she was sick gave her confidence that she could do it for others, but she knew her heart was set in writing. Two hospitals, one nursing home and 187 hours of clinical service later, she found that working with humanity was an enlightening experience.
Throughout her high school experience many people helped her accomplish her goals, surrounded by the support of coaches, teachers, guidance counselors, close friends, family, and being a member in the BCC Upward Bound helped her tremendously in accomplishing her goals and shaping who she is. She feels the path she is on now is because of the people she surrounded herself with, her mom's prayers, and God's will.
Upon graduation she was Home Health Aide, CPR, and First Aid certified. She now wishes to persevere and pursue enrollment at Salve Regina University, so she may obtain what she sincerely seeks, to make her mother proud and gain an education in English, concentrating in communications and creative writing.

Bruce Helmer, co-founder of Wealth Enhancement Group and author of "Real Wealth: How to Make Smart Money Choices for What Matters Most to You," recommends five smart things to do with your money:
1. Spend it. Everyone spends money, but the key is to make thoughtful choices and determine necessities versus luxuries. Based on your personal values, necessities will vary, so it's important to take a realistic look at your priorities. Then you can determine what you need now and what can wait for the future. Remember to avoid consumer debt and only spend what you currently have for day-to-day expenses. If you can't pay off a credit card each month, don't use it. Not only are you paying high rates of interest, but you're forfeiting the return you could be earning on those dollars if they were invested.
2. Save it. There are three main reasons to save: emergencies, spending and investing. Start with an emergency fund. Prior to the Great Recession, most people saved three month's worth of expenses. Today, with continued economic instability, six months is a wiser choice. How much of your income should you save? A good goal is at least 10 percent. Remember, saving and investing are different. Saving puts money in a secure place readily available to you - making it a liquid asset. Investing puts money away, allowing it to grow for future use.
3. Invest it. Investing is a key part of growing your finances and securing your future. Smart investors make it a habit to pay themselves first, meaning each payday they designate a specific amount of money to investment accounts. Remember, a long-term investment plan with consistency and stability will overcome market swings. Start investing as soon as you can - time is a great ally.
4. Manage your tax burden. Taxes are an often-overlooked part of financial planning. But knowing how your money will be taxed today and in the future can help you make wise decisions. It's safe to say most people want to pay as little taxes as possible, and your decisions today will help you do that. Balance taxable investments like CDs, money market accounts and bonds with tax-deferred investments like 401(k)s and traditional IRAs. Do not forget about the importance of tax-advantaged investments like Roth IRAs and life insurance too. Balancing these three types of taxable investments is important to a long-term financial strategy.
5. Give it away. At face value, giving money away may sound a little crazy, but sharing your wealth can be a rewarding part of a financial plan. Whether it be to a nonprofit, a faith community or to your own children, sharing money either during your lifetime or upon death is gratifying and can have many economic benefits. Charitable donations done now are tax deductable this year, but other types of giving provide benefits in the future. For example, donating money in a will can possibly lower the estate tax liability to your heirs. Because tax laws are complex, it's important to work with a professional who can guide you in the right direction.

Yo, here's a sketch thing. Kinda got around to doing a small thing for Ilyana from FE, though I didn't really look at her actual clothes at all so she's mostly just wearing what I'm grabbing at from memory. Also, I didn't intend for it to be another like, profile dangit. Oh well. Whatever. She's pretty great, always hungry and stuff. I just..want to give her my bread or something. Well, yeah just thought I'd put something out lol. Still waiting for possible release date : |
EDIT: I kinda edited the face because overall it was kind of off from her body and it just seemed not right. Still definitely have to change it again because she needs that roundness on the top of her head, plus she has the kind of dull eyes, and the highlight takes away from that.

Hurricane Sandy
Here's hoping our HET family members in the Northeast are ok. Our thoughts and prayers go out to all.
Alex Burr
Memphis, TN -
Alex, I hope all is well there also as I have many friends and family just where the storm hit. No news as phones are out and no electric. Waiting to receive calls or e-mails. Walt.
Thinking of you guys at this terrible time, hope all are ok.
In Central Connecticut we are OK. Just a few trees down and power outages. Southern Connecticut along the water got hit really hard. New York City, New Jersey also got hit hard.
Thank you for thinking of us in these times.
My sister in law and her husband were evacuated from Manhattan, water is up to the first floor In the old Bear- Stearns building, and my other Sis in law ( in Long Island) has been without electric for 48 hours & maybe for as long as 10 days. My daughter( an MD) is working around the clock at Montefiore Hospital, and my 2 NYPD nephews don't even bother to go home. They could not get there anyway... this is really bad. Its times like this I'm glad we moved to Arizona. Ron Sotardi
I am in Southwest Metro DC - just outside the beltway. We are OK. Lights only flickered here three times, once just enough to shut off the TV and cable box but not mess up the clocks. We had expected power to be out for days.
Were in Southern Ct. Hit hard ...trees down no power . two children killed last nigth in North Salem ,tree struck house ..pray for them and family ...God Bless...
To all who were affected, May God be with you and comfort you in this time of need. I have friends in Dover DE and recived word from them today. All is good with them. I hope that all is good with those of you here that were affected.

The City of Hillsboro's Planning Department is focused on land use and transportation planning—that includes everything from what constitutes a permitted use for a specific piece of property, to requirements related to density, setbacks and subdivision of land, not to mention how to drive, walk, or bike within the City. We also work to make it easy for people to get around between neighborhoods, schools, parks and businesses—not just today, but for years to come. We even plan for communities that don't yet exist, so we'll be ready to welcome new neighbors as Hillsboro continues growing great things. We spend much of our time working with developers. We encourage them to get in touch with us as soon as they have a client interested in building something in Hillsboro. We even offer pre-application meetings at no charge, so developers can meet with representatives from Planning and other City departments to understand what they might encounter with their project, and ways we can make the process easier for them. It gives developers a good running start with their applications, and often means faster approval from the department. We work with residents too, helping them to understand what they can do with their property, and resolving issues they may have concerning other properties within the city. You'll find a service-oriented team in the Planning Department. We're here to help, and you'll always get a person on the phone when you call during business hours. We're committed to solving problems and finding solutions to help you move your project forward. Call us with questions about:
