Andrew Michael 'Mike' Smith (born October 1, 1967, Dewsbury, Yorkshire) is a former English cricketer.
Mike Smith was an effective swing bowler for Gloucestershire, and played a single Test for England at Headingley in 1997 against Australia. Graham Thorpe dropped Matthew Elliott at first slip while on 29, for what would have been Smith's first (and only) Test wicket. Elliot went on to make 199 and Australia won comfortably by an innings.
He was never played for England again, but remained one of the most consistent swing bowlers on the county circuit until his retirement in 2003. He is now an employment solicitor at Bevan Brittan in Bristol.

Bad signings should doom him, not poor team performance. They are quite good. Tannehill looks especially good. With a stronger O-line they would be top of the division right now.
Not sure he deserves a firing.

Posted Friday October 11, 2013, About: Eugene Monroe says he's ready to suit up for Ravens
I'm really excited for him to suit up. And yeah, he definitely looks like Ocho. With the offensive line in better shape, flacco and rice have no more excuses. Time to bring the house down. In my dreams maybe haha.

Which is why I am worried about Ray retiring. Not for his play, but his leadership. Can suggs take over after Lewis? I don't know.
Posted Saturday July 07, 2012, About: Source: Orioles 'going hard' after Greinke
don't do it, he'll command way too many prospects and he'll be a free agent after this season! I don't wanna part with bundy or machado, this team needs young reinforcements!
Posted Tuesday June 05, 2012, About: Why sky's the limit for Cinci's Green
I'm a ravens fan, but I think both the steelers and the ravens have a few years at the top left in the tank. Steelers defense is getting older (I think) a little faster than the ravens. Steelers have 2-4 years left, Ravens have 3-5. 4-5 years down the road, I fully expect Cincy to be at the top of the division, with maybe the ravens in second b/c flacco is younger than Big Ben.
Browns...forever relegated to 4th.

Somewhere I got this Swift Tungsten Plate Armor and now I can't get rid of it just because its base value is 11550 so nobody I ever met in the game has enough to pay me.
I haven't discovered every area yet, I believe that the richest smith I met so far is the guy at Picaron Isle. His starting cash is 6000, but he still can't pay me for the armor.
I have no use of it (my character is a mage), but how could I just throw it out like a rotten apple?
Is there a reasonable way how to get rid of such item? (I would be willing to sell it under price but I guess that's not possible...)

We in the Messianic Movement are outside the mainstream of contemporary worship music, but with the recent popularity of Paul Wilbur and his daugher in law Sharon (daughter of Messianic music pioneer Joel Chernoff) we are becoming more mainstream.
I have noticed the trend away from "oompah oompah boom-chucka" songs and even occasionally major key tunes finding their way into the mix.. Batya Segal (of Yemenite decent) has done some interesting songs and arranged some other old stand-bys into a no-chord middle eastern sound. The style is more driven from Israel.
It's good to see (or hear) music that hearkens to older traditions -- if we are all mixing and blending the colors of the various styles and ethnicities, it can become like mixing all the bright clay or the paint colors and coming up with plain old brown.
Just listened to Hinue la Yanom -- oh, is that beautiful!
Some of the older Messianic music was based on Klezmer, an eastern European Jewish style; but it required a clarinet or a sax or a violinist with SERIOUS chops. (think the clarinet cadenza that starts off Rhapsody in Blue)
Recently the NY orthodox community have come up with a style (or range of styles) that are interesting and I would LIKE to see incorporated into Messianic music. (there is resistance from our Israeli brothers who decry it as the music of their oppressors)
A couple of examples:
Avraham Fried Hine Ma Tov = "Behold how good" from Psalm 133.1
Mendy Wald Chazak = "Be strong" from Joshua 1
That sounds like a lot of fun if you ask me. I love to see different cultural music traditions make their way into worship music. And it would certainly be healthy to see some of this stuff get fused with popular Christian worship music.
And this brings up an interesting point. Every culture will find their most natural voice for worship and it tends to come from their own music. And music is all relative and heavily influenced by the past, so no one can claim complete originality. I think this is why we see a lack of any kind of Biblical commands for a given style or type of music.
I mean, I have yet to find a Bible verse that insists that all worship music must be 19th century hymnology even though so many missionaries have tried to force this on indigenous populations. And Bill Gothard has tried to argue this from scripture in a rather convoluted way.
I think we should encourage people to express things in a way they find enjoyable. (That's a loaded statement for sure.)
I am currently involved in planting a church in a neighborhood with approximately 120 different people-groups represented.
When people ask me what our music is going to be like, I happily shrug my shoulders and say, "I don't know. It depends on which people God allows us to lead to Himself."

Or the growing Latino population there are two rising stars a standout possibly above the rest being a -- rubio is kind of established by this point.
And the both of different parties San Antonio mayor who Leon Castro praised by some as the next Barack Obama.
Spoke this week at the DNC and sat next to mrs.
And Republican senate nominee Ted Cruz who's sitting right next to me that spoke at the RNC first let's listen.
We also recognize.
That there are some things.
We can't do alone.
We have to come together invested opportunity today for prosperity.
Tomorrow we are.
All the sons and daughters of those who risked everything.
For freedom.
And each of us has a duty to pass that same liberty on to the next Generation X.
many into Washington seemed content.
To saddle our children with a crushing.
-- And a limited future.
-- things that stand out for me but what they're most remember about these conventions is the rise.
Hispanic stores and one of which is sitting with my immediate left is the youngest solicitor general the US -- wants to be.
The next senator from Texas thanks so much take groups are coming down Bryant thank you for having first off probably on Castro mayor of San Antonio they're saying look -- -- this guy what do you know about -- what do you think.
Outlook but by all appearances he is a talented young leader he gave we gave a very strong speech and and I'm glad I had the opportunity to -- Right and terms of his first keynote speaker.
But in terms of you for example people are saying look out for -- crews were you watching it you see your future opponent there.
Well you know the Democratic Party has a problem.
Which is if if you look at the whole convention here.
You did not see a single Hispanic elected official is elected statewide speaking at this convention.
A week ago in Tampa.
You had two sitting governors.
Both of whom are Hispanic.
Susanna Martinez and -- cent of all you had senator Marco Rubio and then.
You had me from our campaign attacks -- there's a stark difference and I think part of the reason is.
In the Democratic Party likes to put every one of these in these little categories.
And it and they they pigeon hole you hear that quote Hispanic how -- -- way and that's and that is unfortunately in their party all you are once you're gonna pigeon hole.
Whereas I think Republicans look at people as individuals right and we have candidates that can appeal statewide because they don't run just in whatever ethnic category to have anything.
I just want to bring this -- evidently it's pretty cool.
Especially in Texas watching Castro -- -- like watching a high school all star game at this is.
And they says we're going to be watching these players competing at high levels through many many years that's from dictionaries director of politics at that USC.
So we see the talent on both sides.
For one thing I heard throughout the three days is the DREAM Act.
The -- using that eighteen months where kids brought here at a young age by their parents aboard another country and might be illegal.
You got to pass that is what is that like inside the Hispanic community.
Well let me say resonating well correct it -- let me say quickly I think anyone has ever seen my lousy jump shot would never think of me -- high -- all our game it's recorded.
I get a look that that the -- enacted immigration more generally it is an issue I think a lot of Democrats hope to use as a wedge issue in the Hispanic community.
And and the strategy the strategy we saw.
Here in Charlotte is a strategy to steer the Hispanic community.
I don't think it's working and and I think the values in the Hispanic community that that resonate.
Conservative balance right -- -- tickets and -- this is not news to but it might be to our audience.
-- poll voters who you're supporting it looks very much in the presence corner he's 61% say the president's my guy.
The governor Romney so -- got 29%.
He probably needs another five or six points to secure the election how does he do it -- have -- well look at it -- that.
There's no doubt that it is critical for Republicans that that we convey our message in the Hispanic community and do a better job.
George W.
Bush in 2004 got 44% of Hispanic vote John McCain barely got 31% we lost.
A third of that community and for years Republicans can't keep doing that.
I think the way to do it is to convey conservative values but do -- no way that this.
Brings people together I mean one of the biggest differences I think between Tampa and Charlotte.
-- -- the message we're all messages were all about uniting people bringing people together.
Behind principles of freedom opportunity entrepreneur worship the incredible opportunity.
That is present in the power to the American dream you have when government gets out of the way and Freeman and -- women are able to work to their potential.
Here in Charlotte it was a very different message was a message of division it was a message of trying to scare people and turn them against.
I think that's unfortunate I think it's a cynical strategy.
And I think it's sad how far we've come from just four years ago the positive optimistic campaign Barack -- It's going to be great sixty days has really fascinating to take you play a key role and I love -- decision to sink the podium walk around Handspring you're the only one to do that in Tampa.
Says it's great to see congratulations on yet meteoric career well thanks a lot it's a pleasure being with.
All right meanwhile come.

Photo #20 clearly shows Braytons bike has the exghaust coming out the front of the engine. What gives? Is JGR using the WR platform for their race bikes?
Sorby qualified ahead of CP 377? Hummmmm
Sweet pics Cudby . . . being a FMF'r for life, I was surprised to see the boys wrapping the header all the way around the cylinder on JB10's JGR . . . the Yamaha Engineers must be spinning to see the guys that know how to build bolt on power are basically running the exhaust the way you're supposed to. Cudby - can you snag a pic of the left side of a JGR bike to see the plumbing? Apologies if this has been documented already, but it's the first time i've seen it. Go 'Merica! And Sorby, gotta root for the old guys that line up for a gate drop with the kids.
I cant wait to see usa boys get up in cp377s azz!!!!!
Found it. Feel free to check the pic and not bore yourself with the rants from the vitalmx members . . . the only funny one was the guy saying he's going to buy JB10's mechanic a beer at the next race because that header must be a pain in the arse to install. Never thought i'd see a 360 degree wrap the cylinder header . . .
Found it.
(the left side shot of the FMF wrapper header) if anyone's interested.
I'll be there on Sunday. Let's hope for good racing.
It is obvious that JGR wants to keep the hear from the pipe away from the shock. Great idea wrapping it around the cylinder.

Boxing Day :c)
As it's called in all countries with ties to the crown....The day after Christmas. I was dreadfully low on groceries after being gone for a week so I had to brave the crowds this morning, which were not too bad considering. Sam's Club is not one of those places with huge return/exchange lines, and I do avoid the mall (otherwise known as the MAUL by myself and those who know me who share the same revulsion for the place) at all costs. I came home with some groceries, and two long sleeve V-neck tees that I really did need..and voila! I'm staying home the rest of the day.
Last night we went to a friend's home for desserts and company. A fun time was had, it was a great visit and cozy in their home. I came home with their leftover ham-bone because they were going to toss it...and knowing I am the official "after the holiday" soup officianado, they gave it to me! So I have simmering in the crock pot...one ham bone and bean soup fixings. Yummy.
I've quilted to a couple more old classic movies today, both black and whites that were on the TCM channel. Nice since that channel is commercial free! I've probably got 3 rows of fans left to quilt across the ohio stars and rails quilt..and the callouses are back into protecting my fingers after a couple days off duty.
I'm posting some pics of the finished "The Best Things" Quilt. It turned out way more maverick than I would have expected...It does NOT hang straight, even after washing and blocking it and trying to force it into square..*LOL* It was square WHEN I started...all I can figure is that quilting with a hoop and moving that hoop from place to place, and having LOTS of quilting can pull it right into distortion. *sigh*
Oh well....I am thinking of all the antique quilts I love seeing in books and how their corners are pulled off square, and border edges are anything but straight, and how much MORE I love them because of that human element. And though I used synthropol in the wash water..there was one place where the red did bleed a bit pink into the shirting print border. And YES, I prewashed those reds! I suppose this is much the same kind of thing our fore-quilters would have had to deal with too, and I probably would have loved their quilts just as much or more in spite of it, so phooey. And I am still a lover of that solid red...so I'll keep using it. I just might wash it twice before I piece with it in the future though!
However, I still feel like quite the maverick soul thumbing my nose at the quilt police saying that borders must all be the same width, they must hang straight with square corners and binding miters must be sewn down. HA! I happen to like my origami folded pleated binding corners. I won't stitch them shut for anyone. I think Gwen would be proud, don't you? ;c)
On the school front...I found out that somehow the transcripts that the school sent to the national certification board got LOST. Which means I still don't have a date for taking my exams to get my license. BAH HUMBUG on that. My goal was to have it done before the holidays, and then to have it done before my birthday in Jan...now who knows when they'll have all the stuff together to be able to give me a date to sit for those exams? I guess I'll be getting ALOT of quilting done!

The finished quilt looks great Bonnie..*VBS* The hand quilting is wonderful..I love everything about it. Looks like the Universe kinda took thing out of your hands, so to speak..LOL..and now "The Best Things" quilt has joined the ranks of vintage quilts everywhere...doing its own thing and making people wonder...I love it!!!
Great new look for your blog also..love the background change and the do-dads between the links.
Sorry to hear about the transcrips tho...that's awful..but you'll do fine when the time comes.Oh Bonnie! I absolutely love this quilt! It is so ..... inviting! I just have to do one! I love, love, love it!
As for the bleeding. I"ve had a few fabrics that no matter how much I wash them they still bleed. But I found for most of them is the bleeding comes in when they either sit in the washing machine wet (waiting to be dried) or in the dryer if it shuts off and the quilt is still damp. I try so hard now not to let it sit in either - it makes a huge difference.
But I still love it!

Proverbs - Chapter 26
Rabbi Dr. Gidon Rothstein
Honor is not fitting for a fool; it's like snow in the summer or rain during the harvest. (In an agricultural society, these things are not just incongruous or inconvenient, they are overtly detrimental!) A curse uttered casually will come back to haunt the one who said it, like a bird returning to its nest. Fools don't accept rebuke until something bad happens, like a horse that needs to be switched to drive it back onto the path.
Verse 4: Don't answer a fool because you will appear equally foolish. Verse 5: Answer a fool so that he doesn't think his words are wise. Huh? These two verses - which appear immediately next to one another - appear to contradict. In fact, they seem so blatantly contradictory that the Sages almost declined to include Proverbs in the canon until they reconciled the apparent difficulty. One should answer a fool in matters of Torah, but not in other matters. (See the Talmud in Shabbos, page 30b.)
A person who uses a fool as his messenger wastes energy, because he will have to send others to correct the fool's mistakes; additionally, he exasperates the recipient! Fools cannot evaluate wisdom in order to acquire it. (Solomon uses the metaphor of how a person who cannot walk imagines everyone else's legs to be.)
G-d created all of us, wise and foolish alike. Unlike human employers, who have no use for fools, G-d does have a role for them in His world. A dog eats something disgusting, brings it up, then eats it again. Similarly, fools repeat the same mistakes over and over. But as bad off as a fool is, a person who considers himself wise is even more hopeless. (At least a fool knows he has improvement to make - the person who thinks he knows it all has no place to go!)
A lazy person finds excuses never to get anything done, with the result that he just stays in bed. When he reaches into his pot for food, he will find it empty, because he hasn't earned anything. And yet, the lazy person thinks he's smarter than any seven people put together! (Well, it does take some ingenuity to come up with so many excuses...)
Getting involved in a fight that doesn't concern you is like grabbing a dog by the ears - not a good idea. A person who deceives others and says, "Just kidding!" is like a person playing with deadly weapons. Just like a fire goes out without fuel, a fight will die down without an instigator. An instigator's words are like projectiles causing injuries to a person in battle.
Smooth words and evil intent are used to entice people to folly like a silver coating on a clay pot. When an enemy tries to persuade you, don't listen; he does not have your best interests at heart. In fact, he wishes a multitude of bad things upon you! He plots his evil in secret, but G-d will cause it to be revealed to all. The plotter will fall into his own pit or be crushed by his own stone. (Rashi refers to Balaam and Avimelech, who were undone by their own evil schemes.) A person who accepts words of slander hates those he crushes as a result, and accepting words of flattery distances one from G-d. (Rashi cites Saul, who destroyed the city of Nov as a result of slander. See Balaam in Numbers 22-24, although his demise is not recorded until Number 31:8; Avimelech killed at a rock and was killed by a rock in Judges 9; Saul accepts slander and overreacts in I Samuel 22.)

From the outside, the house Yolanda Williams shares with her seven children looks just like the others in the quiet, gated Cutler Landings neighborhood in Homestead. A Christmas wreath hangs on the door. The small yard is well-manicured. A barbecue grill and a rubber kickball sit out back.
But step inside, walk past the living room cases overflowing with the kids' academic awards, take a peek into the bedrooms, and there lies the heartbreaking evidence of the Williams family's hard-knock life.
There are no beds. Just mattresses on the floor, covered in mismatched sheets and faded, frayed comforters.
Eighteen-year-old Darius, a math whiz at Homestead High headed to the Air Force, sleeps on one mattress with 8-year-old Wayne. Seventeen-year-old Kayla, who dreams of attending Bethune-Cookman University, shares a room with 13-year-old Diana, an honor roll student and basketball player at Mandarin Lakes K-8 Academy. Six-year-old Shalonda shares a mattress with 5-year-old Sharhonda. And 3-year-old Joshua sleeps with Mom.
They have no rugs. Their walls are bare, except for their crayon drawings and a Student Pledge poster their mother makes them read every morning before heading to school.
Not that any of the kids are complaining. They've learned better. Their mother reminds them they are blessed to have a roof over their heads and food on the table, even if they have to sleep on the floor. If she has to turn off the air conditioning to save money, she tells them they are blessed to have paper to fan themselves with.
They've grown accustomed to cheap fun: hotdogs on the grill, kickball, tag, singing, dancing, drumming on buckets, cooking, hair and nail makeovers.
They don't bother asking for cellphones, Xboxes, and iPads because they know how much it hurts their mother that she can't afford such luxuries. But the Williams kids do confess that atop their Christmas wish list are bunk beds, bedding, and towels — preferably in purples and pinks for the girls and red and black (Heat colors) for the boys. They are also in desperate need of a desktop computer and printer to do their homework, so they don't have to rely on neighbors and the public library.
Williams, 36, is a cafeteria worker at Mandarin Lakes K-8 Academy and does babysitting on the side. The two fathers of the children are not involved, so she scrapes by with help from a forgiving landlord, generous neighbors and government aid. The past three months have been particularly hard because she broke her hand and was required to take medical leave. She is eager to get back to work when school resumes Jan. 7.
The kids at school know her as "Miss Nicole (her middle name)'' and she constantly asks the students to show her their report cards. She scolds them when their grades slip.
Williams concedes she made many poor life choices since her days as a cheerleader and junior varsity basketball player at Southridge High. She got pregnant at 18, got a fast-food job to help pay the bills, had a few more kids, and "I've been trying to pick myself up since then. But every time I take two steps forward, I get knocked eight steps back. But I keep going. There is always light at the end of the tunnel.''
She is doing her best to make up for mistakes and insisting her children excel in the classroom and aim for college degrees.

Basis strong-arms other wearable body sensors
Wearable body sensors are in. We've got the Fitbit pedometer, the BodyMedia armband, and the Lark sleep sensor on the market, and Jawbone's Up arriving soon. Joining the fray is what may be the heavy hitter in this fight: the Basis Band.
This wrist-wearable sensor offers the most sensors. In addition to measuring motion (which the other products do), Basis also tracks skin temperature, ambient temperature, galvanic skin response (sweat level), heart rate, and blood oxygen level, which it gets by measuring the spectrum of light reflected back from a green laser that illuminates the skin where the device straps on to the wrist.
The Basis runs its Tricorder functions continuously and stores its telemetry for later upload (over USB or Bluetooth). The device itself doesn't have enough smarts to tell the user if they're exercising enough or how healthy they are; the Basis service has to process the information first and gives the user usable information about their health and activity on their own private Web page.
Related links Fitbit will get you off the couch BodyMedia FIT armband to use Sprint's 3G network Lark's silent alarm wakes you, not your bunkmate Jawbone launching Up, a fitness bracelet
One of the big tricks in the Basis algorithms is its capability to determine your activity--walking, running, typing, etc.--even though the device is strapped to your wrist, where a lot of the motion is obviously unrelated to what the rest of your body is doing. CEO Jef Holove thinks that the company's data processing chops are its secret weapon and the competitive barrier to entry. The sensor technology in the Basis is not exactly rocket science; the cool oxygen sensor is standard medical tech, for example. … Read more

Amid confusion, criticism and the indecisiveness which is surrounding the TRAI recommendations on the reserve price for spectrum auction, the telecom commission is working on plans to sell 2G spectrum for a period of 10 years, reports Economic Times.
Currently, airwaves sold through auctions, or even those that were issued to companies bundled with their mobile permits are valid for 20 years. A reduced tenure will bring down the reserve price of the airwaves in the sale process.
"We have asked Trai to work out the reserve price if the spectrum is given for a 10 year period. Halving the period of possession of airwaves does not imply that the reserve price will be 50% of what Trai had recommended earlier. This is one of the options that will be presented to the EGoM," The newspaper quoted Telecom secretary R Chandrasekhar as saying.
"The allotment will be for 20 years, but the amount they pay will be for 10 years. After this time, they (the telcos) will have to pay the new prevailing market price at the time," a senior DoT official told Live Mint.
"There is always an auction taking place and there is always a current market price for the spectrum. We have asked Trai to give us their analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of such a move for the operators and the government."
"The upside is that telcos have to pay less, but at the same time, a 10 year tenure adds to the uncertainties. If technological advancements allow airwaves to be used for different types of services, the value of spectrum will go up, "he added.

The fake wood finish is peeling off as I put it together; I will have to put glass on it just to use, the price does not fit the quality should not be priced more than $30.00
Really liked it, it's a cute piece. I thought it was hard to put together. If you don't screw everything just right at the right time it looks kind of crooked. It has a lot of gaps. Most of them are in the back so you'd have to know there were there to see it. It chipped up easy, too, while putting it together. I still like the piece though.
I have a rat's nest of equipment and cords going to an exposed corner where the coaxial cable and power outlet are in the living room. This table holds all that unsightly stuff, leaves the electronics wide open for good wireless signals, and from the rest of the room, looks like a cube end table. The back side looks presentable, with no indication that I'm using it backwards.
I love the way it looks, but it's just so cheaply made. It instantly reminded me of ikea stuff. I put it in the corner of the house away from people so that no one touches it and feels how cheap it is. But it does look nice sitting in the corner of the living room.
Colors: Accurate to the website, you can trust the images. Shipping: Arrived undamaged, on-time, and well packaged. Construction: Takes about 40mins without power tools, 30 with them. The instructions are easy to follow and no parts were missing. If you're not a total muppet, this will go smoothly. All you need is a Phillips screwdriver. Quality: Each "wooden" piece is made of light-weight particle board, laminated with a pattern. Compared to IKEA, I found the laminate to be cheap and likely prone to moisture damage. Use coasters. I bought two tables and one fit together absolutely perfectly, while the other required a bit more force due to minor misalignments in cutting or drilling. Final Take: Looks fantastic in the living room, but I cannot overlook the low-quality laminate used on an otherwise perfectly good piece. 4/5 stars.
The table is exactly what I needed. It was easy to put together and looks great.
Great purchase easy to put together and very sturdy, matches the Tepekiie coffee table and Modern Leveled end table I bought from you so well. Changed the whole look of my living room. They look expensive and they were all bought for such a good price.

The Powell County Coroner says Patricia Graves, 57, of Ronan died from blunt force trauma injuries while traveling as a passenger with her husband near Deer Lodge.
The car crash happened in the eastbound lane of I-90 near mile marker 172 around noon on Tuesday.
41 year old Christopher Kepler of Sand Point, Idaho was reportedly driving the wrong way on the interstate at 95 miles per hour, according to witnesses.
Kepler hit Graves' 2004 Dodge truck head-on.
The Powell County Attorney's office has not filed any charges as of Wednesday.
All three individuals in the crash wore their seat belts.

NEW YORK ( MainStreet) No one plans for emergencies to happen, and perhaps that's the first problem. Living paycheck-to-paycheck on the least desirable seems to be more and more the New American Way, if trends are any indication. Some believe the culprit to be the frenzied American consumer, yet others like CNBC's Leslie Kramer evenly lay blame on the banks , the government and the overall culture of the U.S.:
"We are, in fact, encouraged to spend as much as we are encouraged to save, sometimes by different businesses within the same financial services company. A company can have an investment management arm working to educate American workers on the benefits of saving, while it also has a large consumer credit card and mortgage business."
Whomever you blame, the message is clear: the average citizen is still struggling with finances in this sorry excuse for a post-recession recovery. Therefore, in order to tackle this multifaceted idea of emergency money management, MainStreet gathered some fresh financial perspectives from pros in the sector. Each were interviewed separately and presented with a dire proposition: If one of your clients were in a jam with only $1000 left, how would you advise them?
The Experts and What They Do
- Personal Financial Planning, Kevin Cimring, CEO Jemstep, an online investment advisory focused on helping people lock in more money for retirement.
- Business Financial Support, David Ehrenberg, CEO Early Growth Financial Services, a firm that provides finance and accounting support to early stage companies that are not large enough to have their own accounting staff.
- Investing, Anthony Grisanti, President GRZ Energy and CNBC 'Futures Now' Contributor who keeps track of the whole gamut from hedge funds to users and producers of energy.
Now, the questions...
What emergency situations do you find your clients dealing with?
Cimring: Unemployment, long-term unemployment, someone suddenly gets laid off, and they haven't planned for that. So they don't have an emergency fund, for example, which we recommend. And so ending up in a situation of unexpected unemployment is difficult for folks to deal with.
The other main one is an unforeseen, kind of health situation, an inability to cover health costs is the other main one. So from our perspective, these are two kind of areas that have a big impact on folks which kind of land them in a financial emergency.
Grisanti: I would say it's when a client is late for the game, meaning that the market has already made a move and now the client is starting to think that that's what they want to do, but the move is kind of over with already.
It's hard to anticipate when there's going to be an issue. You know, the financial crash of 2007. A few people could see that coming, but most did not. And I remember when it all started. I had clients, you know after the market was down say 10%, 15% say, 'Well, now is probably a good time to get in.' And my advice was to wait, so it flushed out even more and that's exactly what happened.

World Champion Sebastian Vettel reveals that he can't imagine leaving Red Bull, even after his current deal expires in 2014.
Vettel has been consistently linked with a move to Ferrari, but having joined Red Bull from their sister team Toro Rosso in 2009, the German insists he feels completely at home with the British outfit.
"I've been wearing a Red Bull helmet for almost my entire career. It is difficult to imagine another kind of life if you are so used to it," Vettel told Autosport.
"It would be like when you turn 18, 19 and move out of your family's home. I am very happy where I am right now and I don't want to move on to anywhere else."
While Vettel thoroughly dominated the 2011 season, claiming 11 victories and 17 podiums from 19 races, he has only managed one win thus far this year, with six different drivers crossing the finish line first in the opening six races.
This supposed gluttony of winners has caused some to criticise the current running, suggesting that the inconsistency will turn fans away from the sport. However, the 24-year-old disagrees.
"If you look back ten years, there was heavy criticism of a boring F1 because of Michael (Schumacher) winning all the time. Now we hear F1 is unpredictable and a lottery," he said.
"You cannot satisfy all people every time, but I think we have a good show, a lot of overtaking, good action now. There is more tension - for people who watch and for us inside the cars. I think I like the way it goes, however, we have to be careful not to create something artificially."
As he looks to win his third World title on the trot, Vettel believes that it will be consistency - not just race wins - that will determine who wins this year's Championship.
"People only remember our wins, but they forget a bit how tight it often was," he explained.
"Yes, we won some races in which we did not have the strongest package.
"This year there are much more candidates to win races than before. Therefore it gets more essential to collect as many points as possible in every race."

If you loved Discovery Channel productions like "Planet Earth" you are going to love "Winged Planet." It's a new documentary from British filmmaker John Downer. He also directed the documentary "Tiger: Spy in the Jungle."
In "Winged Planet", Downer has installed super mini 3D cameras on the backs of birds so we can see what they see in-flight. The previews on this look absolutely stunning. You'll get to see eagles, cranes, pelicans, snow geese and others as they soar through the air over special landmarks and in the wild. There's one spectacular scene that was filmed in the Sea of Cortes in Mexico. It shows a bird approaching a group or large rays in the water. Suddenly, the rays are jumping out the water trying to "fly through the air." It's visually stunning to see.
"Winged Planet" will play on the Discovery Channel, Saturday night at 8. Don't miss this one. It looks special.
You can check out the preview here: http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/discovery-sets-winged-planet-special-367996
